Paradox

Sarah Perry

Millions of years ago, humans just happened. Accidents of environment and genetics contributed to the creation of sentient beings like us. Today, however, people no longer "just happen;" they are created by the voluntary acts of other people.,This book examines several questions about the ethics of human existence. Is it a good thing, for humans, that humans "happened"? Is it ethical to keep making new humans, now that reproduction is under our control? And given that a person exists (through no fault or choice of his own), is it immoral or irrational for him to refuse to live out his natural lifespan? All these questions are answered in the negative - not out of misanthropy, but rather out of empathy for human suffering and respect for human autonomy.

As a latter-day apostle, Elder Russell M. Nelson is known worldwide for his tireless service in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many people, however, are not familiar with his pioneering work in the field of open-heart surgery, the life-prolonging operation he performed on President Spencer W. Kimball, his role in helping open Eastern Bloc countries to the preaching of the gospel, and his loving efforts to build relations with the people of China. In ,Russell M. Nelson: Father, Surgeon, Apostle,, readers are treated to an intimate portrayal that will help us come to know Elder Nelson as a man of testimony, a dedicated husband and father of ten, and a servant whose principal desire since his youth has been to serve God's children. Full of insight and inspiration, this biography will take its place among other important works that chronicle the lives of the Lord's latter-day servants.

Doina Ioanid

„Cu Ritmuri de imblinzit aricioaica, poezia Doinei Ioanid dobindeste o intensitate a vibratiei poetice pe care volumele anterioare o lasau doar sa se intrevada. O poezie a destramarii si a singuratatii, cu atit mai tulburatoare cu cit autoarea nu recurge la „podoabe”. Lirismul se naste si creste din privirea necrutatoare, dar empatica aruncata asupra lumii din jur, din ritmul existentei si dintr-o profunda si emotionanta asumare a destinului.” (Carmen Musat), ,Venita dinspre Cristian Popescu si suprarealistii francezi, dar si dinspre prozopoemele lui Rimbaud si Bacovia, poezia Doinei Ioanid a fost dintotdeauna un jurnal de stari interioare ale sensibilitatii repliate spre sine. Butonul intensitatii afective este dat insa acum la maximum, iar glacialitatea spectrala, retro a „duducai de martipan” a lasat de mult locul vulnerabilitatii depresive si inadaptarii mature, visceralitatii revoltate si mizeriei agresive a cotidianului. Fantasma personala care bintuie secventele – sau diapozitivele – acestui nou volum este „aricioaica”, animal totemic al singuratatii retractile, „tepoase” si interiorizate. O singuratate ai carei demoni sint imblinziti, totusi, de calitatea autoscopiei si de rafinamentul imaginarului decadent. Autoare prin excelenta imploziva, Doina Ioanid este una dintre cele mai substantiale, mai rezistente si mai pure voci ale poeziei romanesti din ultimul deceniu.” (Paul Cernat)

Ana Paula Maia

"Um grito? Um protesto? Uma careta? Uma expressão "banana pra vocês"? Antes, Ana Paula Maia recria nuances do que pode ser péssimo na realidade e, artista que é, não oferece soluções, apenas aponta com o dedo, artisticamente, para o que todos sabem, conhecem, mas parecem não querer ver. Ela não faz denúncia, não é dessas bossas. Ela faz é obra de arte." [Jornal Rascunho],O livro reúne duas novelas: “Entre Rinhas de Cachorros e Porcos Abatidos”, com cinco capítulos; e “o trabalho sujo dos outros”, em sete capítulos. Os personagens apresentam aquela ética de faroeste. Edgar Wilson e o seu fiel escudeiro Gerson bem que figurariam em qualquer cidade do Velho Oeste. A realidade brutalizada, quase cópia do cotidiano, bem à moda do escritor Rubem Fonseca, ganha, na literatura de Ana Paula Maia, ares de paródia da mesma forma como cineasta Quentin Tarantino reprocessa a violência dos filmes de ação e dá um ar irônico e intertextual à sua filmografia. Tanto para o cineasta como para a escritora há uma raiz de inspiração comum: o cinemão americano, o caldeirão pop. “- Ok, então – diz o policial. - Edgar Wilson e Gerson, obrigado pela atenção de vocês e peça ajuda. Não vou tomar mais o tempo de vocês, rapazes. Percebo que são gente de bem, que trabalha pesado”. Sentiu um tom meio que de roteiro de cinema? É intencional.,Ana Paula, mestre em ironias, revela o quanto da cultura americana está entrada no cotidiano. Quando precisam chamar a emergência para socorrer uma vítima ninguém sabe para qual número ligar, mas todos lembram-se do “911” americano. Mas não pensem que os diálogos com cinema comprometem a trama. Ao contrário. Ana Paula Maia é mão segura na narrativa, sabe dosar bem tempo, ambiente, enredo, sobretudo na segunda história, a do lixeiro Erasmo Wagner. A escritora sabe desenvolver suas metáforas e, seu ponto alto, criar universos e fazer com que o leitor partilhe de seus estranhos e envolventes submundos. ,[Jornal da Paraíba, Submundo do pop]

Lacking a son and heir, Mr Henry Paget bequeaths his elder daughter, Georgina, his horse-breeding stables with instructions to take care of her young sister, Felicity, and make sure she makes a good marriage. The stables are some of the best in the country; Henry Paget was renowned for his knowledge of horses, a knowledge he passed on to his daughter. The problem Georgie soon encounters is that men are reluctant to do business with a woman and she is finding it difficult to make the business pay, let alone have time and money to give her sister the come-out she deserves. The arrival of her aunt back from abroad takes the problem of the come-out out of her hands but Georgie is still left trying to convince the equestrian world that she knows what she is doing. When Major Richard Baverstock returns from Waterloo seeking a horse, her life becomes even more complicated. Her aunt is determined to marry Felicity off to Richard and, as her sister’s happiness is more important than her own, Georgie is prepared to promote the match, even when she realises she loves Richard herself. Her life becomes even more complicated when the odious Lord Barbour sets his cap at her, wanting to combine his failing stables with hers and is prepared to employ any means, however dastardly, to have his way. There seems no way out of her dilemma...

Time to Listen represents the cumulative evidence of five years gathering evidence from people living in societies that are recipients of international aid. CDA’s Listening Project organized teams of “listeners” across 20 countries and contexts to gather the voices, insights, and lessons from people both inside and outside the aid system. This publication represents the lessons that have come forth through conversations with nearly 6,000 people. Using their words, their experiences, and their ideas, we describe why the cumulative impacts of aid have not met expectations and describe a way forward to make changes that, according to those on the receiving end, will lead to more effective results.

بِريود كلمة إنجليزية تعني فترة زمنية. والكلمة لها أصل يوناني من كلمة "بِريودوس" وتعني الزمن. وفي علم اللغويات Linguistics كلمة "بِريود" تعني النقطة التي توضع في آخر الجملة لتدل على نهايتها. أما في العصر الحديث فقد صارت الكلمة تُشير إلى الدورة الشهرية، والتي تُعَد من أكبر التابوهات في عالم النساء. وكعادتنا حين نود إضفاء شيء من التقبُّل إلى غير المُتقبَّل دخلت كلمة "بِريود" إلى عالمنا الناطق بالعربية لوصف تلك الأيام. ,وفي الحضارات القديمة لم تكن الدورة الشهرية من الأسرار، بل كانت واضحة للجميع كجزء أساسي من أنوثة المرأة التي ارتفعت إلى منصب الإلهة، وحكمت البلدان، واستحوذت على مكانة شديدة العلو كساحرة أو حكيمة أو عرَّافة. أما أيام النزيف في الدورة الشهرية فكانت فترة مُقدَّسة sacred time أحيطت بهالة من الإجلال، كهِبة أو مِنحة من الطبيعة أو من الآلهة للمرأة، تتسم بنشاط رُوحاني وقدرة عالية على التواصل مع الطبيعة أو الآلهة. وكان يصحب بلوغ الفتاة ونزول أول قطرات من دمائها الكثير من الاحتفالات لوصولها إلى هذه المرحلة المتطورة من الحياة.,ثم جاءت الأديان السماوية تحمل فكرة الإله الواحد الذكر ذي السُّلطة الأبوية المطلقة، وحرمت المرأة من ذلك التقديس لطبيعتها كأنثى. فالله مذكر، فالأنبياء والرُّسل والعلماء والمفسرون رجال، والمرأة لا تصلح لهذه الأعمال، فهي الأضعف جسمانيًّا، وهي العاطفية متقلِّبة المزاج المفتقدة للعقلانية، وهي مصدر الفتنة للرِّجال، فهي الزانية إذا فاح عطرها أو بدت زينتها للعالم، وهي التي خُلِقَت من ضلع أعوج وحملت عبء الخطيئة الأولى فتعاونت مع الشيطان على غواية آدم ليأكل من الشجرة المحرمة ويطرد من الجنة، فكان أكثر اهل النار من النساء. ثم اضافت الأديان السماوية أعباءا نفسية إلى أيام النزيف، وكأن عبء الألم الشديد لا يكفي فتم إلصاق تهمة النجاسة إلى المرأة في هذه الأيام، وتم فرض عزلة دينية واجتماعية أضافت إلى العزلة النفسية والإحساس بالخجل والقذارة آلاما تفوق ألم النزيف. ,ثم انتقلت الفكرة في سلاسة شديدة إلى مجتمعاتنا الذكورية التي تمجد الخجل في النساء وتنتقده في الرجال. أصبحت تلك الفترة تابوه ليس من الممكن الاقتراب منه، فيجب أن تخفيه البنت عن أبيها وأخيها بل وقد تخفيه عن زوجها إذا أمكن. فتم فرض ذلك الحصار التاريخي على هذه الأيام لتتألم المرأة في صمت. ولكن صمت المرأة يتحول إلى صخب داخلي يختفي عن أسماع لعالم ويدوي فقط في جنبات النفس ليصبح صمتا أنثويا صاخبا لا يسمعه الرجال.,في هذه المجموعة تخلَّيت عن كل ما يميز الرجال واقتربت في حذر من ذلك العالم الخفي الغامض، واستمعت واستمتعت بهذا الصخب، فكان يجب أن أشارك العالم شيئًا منه.,محمد متولي

For far too long mothers have been beaten down by the law of “do better” and “try harder.” The burden of “getting it right” threatens to crush weary souls who desire to serve their families faithfully. Christ in the Chaos brings comfort to conflicted hearts that are starved of grace and longing for the freedom in Christ the Bible promises.,In this book, Kimm Crandall emphasizes the importance of the gospel and how Christ’s life, death, and resurrection change every aspect of motherhood. From finding our identity in Christ and understanding God’s grace to taking off the mask of acceptability and dealing with the comparison crud, this book will free you to serve your family knowing that his love for you does not change based on your performance.,Christ in the Chaos is a “must read” for every mother who longs for what is seemingly impossible: peace and freedom in the midst of her chaos.

The seven shards of the Shattered Star have been recovered, and the Pathfinders prepare a grand festival on Magnimar's Irespan to celebrate this incredible achievement. The culmination of this celebration is to be the reassembly of the seven shards into the legendary Sihedron itself, rebuilt for the first time in over ten thousand years. But a lot can change in that amount of time, and as the ritual to reforge the artifact finishes, ancient contingencies rumble to life, and as the dead heart of Thassilon begins to beat again, all of Magnimar is put in terrible danger. With the power of the Sihedron on their side, the heroes take a stance against this risen evil—but will the aid of an ancient artifact be enough to save them all?,This volume of ,Pathfinder Adventure Path, concludes the ,Shattered Star Adventure Path, and includes:,- “The Dead Heart of Xin,” a Pathfinder RPG adventure for 15th-level characters, by Brandon Hodge.,- Explorations of lost cities and confrontations with ancient evils to continue your Shattered Star campaign, by Adam Daigle.,- A survey of the ancient rulers of Thassilon—all seven runelords detailed in one place, by Rob McCreary.,- The madness-inducing conclusion of “Light of a Distant Star” in the Pathfinder’s Journal, by Bill Ward.,- Four new monsters, by Dennis Baker, Adam Daigle, and Brandon Hodge.,Cover art by Wayne Reynolds

Far to the north lies a realm that the seasons never touch, where snow lies heavy on the ground all year and winter never releases its icy grip. A country ruled by White Witches with hearts as cold as the north wind—the daughters of the Queen of Witches herself, Baba Yaga—and supported on the backs of a conquered, enslaved people. A place where frost giants and hateful fey are respected citizens, and winter wolves stalk the streets in human form. This is the nation of Irrisen, a land cloaked in unceasing winter for 1,400 years.,Irrisen, Land of Eternal Winter, presents a comprehensive overview of this frigid kingdom, where the imperious control of the ruling class stifles the residents just as strongly as the harsh, never-ending winter.,Inside this book, you'll find:,- A detailed exploration of the nation of Irrisen, from the icy fey stronghold of Feyfrost to the frozen forest of Hoarwood, including an extensive timeline of Irrisen's history and notes on traditional Irriseni holidays.,- Detailed maps of Irrisen's six provinces and half a dozen of its most important towns and cities, from Queen Elvanna's capital of Whitethrone to the industrial town of Morozny.,- Complete stat blocks for each of Irrisen's provinces and their capitals, detailing major settlements and notable denizens.,- Numerous sites and events where adventure can be found, as well as hazards and afflictions that threaten visitors to these snowy lands.,- A bestiary of new monsters and NPCs from Irrisen, such as Baba Yaga's Three Riders, the boreal creature template, and sample winter witches.,Cover art by Daren Bader

Mark Cocker

There are 10,500 species of bird worldwide and wherever they occur people marvel at their glorious colours and their beautiful songs. We also trap and consume birds of every kind.,Yet birds have not just been good to eat. Their feathers, which keep us warm or adorn our costumes, give birds unique mastery over the heavens. Throughout history their flight has inspired the human imagination so that birds are embedded in our religions, folklore, music and arts.,Vast in both scope and scale, ,Birds and People, explores and celebrates this relationship and draws upon Mark Cocker’s 40 years of observing and thinking about birds. Part natural history and part cultural study, it describes and maps the entire spectrum of our engagements with birds, drawing in themes of history, literature, art, cuisine, language, lore, politics and the environment. In the end, this is a book as much about us as it is about birds.,Birds and People, has been stunningly illustrated by one of Europe’s best wildlife photographers, David Tipling, who has travelled in 39 countries on seven continents to produce a breathtaking and unique collection of photographs. The book is as important for its visual riches as it is for its groundbreaking content.,Birds and People ,is also exceptional in that the author has solicited contributions from people worldwide. Personal anecdotes and stories have come from more than 650 individuals in 81 different countries. They range from university academics to Mongolian eagle hunters, and from Amerindian shamans to some of the most celebrated writers of our age. The sheer multitude of voices in this global chorus means that ,Birds and People, is both a source book on why we cherish birds and a powerful testament to their importance for all humanity.

Richard Holmes

**,Kirkus, Best Books of the Year (2013)**,**,Time Magazine, 10 Top Nonfiction Books of 2013**,**,The New Republic, Best Books of 2013**,In this heart-lifting chronicle, Richard Holmes, author of the best-selling ,The Age of Wonder,, follows the pioneer generation of balloon aeronauts, the daring and enigmatic men and women who risked their lives to take to the air (or fall into the sky). Why they did it, what their contemporaries thought of them, and how their flights revealed the secrets of our planet is a compelling adventure that only Holmes could tell., ,His accounts of the early Anglo-French balloon rivalries, the crazy firework flights of the beautiful Sophie Blanchard, the long-distance voyages of the American entrepreneur John Wise and French photographer Felix Nadar are dramatic and exhilarating. Holmes documents as well the balloons used to observe the horrors of modern battle during the Civil War (including a flight taken by George Armstrong Custer); the legendary tale of at least sixty-seven manned balloons that escaped from Paris (the first successful civilian airlift in history) during the Prussian siege of 1870-71; the high-altitude exploits of James Glaisher (who rose) seven miles above the earth without oxygen, helping to establish the new science of meteorology); and how Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, and Jules Verne felt the imaginative impact of flight and allowed it to soar in their work., ,A seamless fusion of history, art, science, biography, and the metaphysics of flights, ,Falling Upwards, explores the interplay between technology and imagination. And through the strange allure of these great balloonists, it offers a masterly portrait of human endeavor, recklessness, and vision.,(With 24 pages of color illustrations, and black-and-white illustrations throughout.)

A guide to bold, authentic Thai cooking from Andy Ricker, the chef and owner of the wildly popular and widely lauded Pok Pok restaurants.,     After decades spent traveling throughout Thailand, Andy Ricker wanted to bring the country's famed street food stateside. In 2005 he opened Pok Pok, so named for the sound a pestle makes when it strikes a clay mortar, in an old shack in a residential neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. Ricker's traditional take on Thai food soon drew the notice of the ,New York Times, and ,Gourmet,magazine, establishing him as a culinary star. Now, with his first cookbook, Ricker tackles head-on the myths that keep people from making Thai food at home, that it's too spicy for the American palate or too difficult to source ingredients. Fifty knockout recipes for simple and delicious Thai dishes range from Grilled Pork Collar with Spicy Dipping Sauce and Iced Greens to Andy's now-famous Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings. Including a primer in Thai techniques and flavor profiles, with tips for modifying local produce to mimic Thai flavors, ,Pok Pok ,makes authentic Thai food accessible to American home cooks.

Gilded New York: Design, Fashion, and Society

Becky E. Conekin

Fashion model, surrealist artist, muse, photographer, war correspondent—Lee Miller defies categorization. She was a woman who refused to be penned in, a free spirit constantly on the move from New York to London to Paris, from husbands to lovers and back, from photojournalistic objectivism to surrealism. ,  , Midcareer, she made the unprecedented transition from one side of the lens to the other, from a Condé Nast model in Jazz Age New York to fashion photographer, creating stunning images that imbued fashion with her signature wit and whimsy. Miller became a celebrated Surrealist under the tutelage of her lover, Man Ray, and then joined the war effort during World War II, documenting everything from the liberation of concentration camps to the daily life of Nazi-occupied Paris. Miller was recognized as “one of the most distinguished living photographers” during her hey-day as a fashion photographer, but an astonishing number of these images have remained unpublished. ,Lee Miller in Fashion ,is the first book to examine how her career as a model and fashion photographer illuminates her life story and connects to international fashion history from the late 1920s until the early 1950s.,  , The world of fashion emerges as the backbone of Miller’s creative development, as well as an integral lens through which to understand the effects of war on the lives of women in the 1940s and 1950s. Miller witnessed incredible acts of resistance born out through fashion—and her photographic record of women’s indomitable spirit even in times of war has remained an invaluable resource in fashion and global history. ,Lee Miller in Fashion, presents these striking archival fashion photographs as well as contact sheets, memos, and Miller’s published illustrations, vividly setting the wit, irrepressible creativity, and daring of Miller within the larger story of women’s experience of fashion, art, and war in the twentieth century.,  ,“In all her different worlds, she moved with freedom. In all her roles, she was her own bold self.”,—Antony Penrose

Josep Pla,Peter Bush,Valentí Puig

An NYRB Classics Original,Josep Pla’s masterpiece, ,The Gray Notebook,, is one of the most colorful and unusual works in modern literature. In 1918, when Pla was in Barcelona studying law, the Spanish flu broke out, the university shut down, and he went home to his parents in coastal Palafrugell. Aspiring to be a writer, not a lawyer, he resolved to hone his style by keeping a journal. In it he wrote about his family, local characters, visits to cafés; the quips, quarrels, ambitions, and amours of his friends; writers he liked and writers he didn’t; and the long contemplative walks he would take in the countryside under magnificent skies. Returning to Barcelona to complete his studies, Pla kept up his diary, scrutinizing life in the big city with the same unflagging zest and humor.,Pla, one of the great Catalan writers, held on to this youthful journal for close to fifty years, reworking and adding to it, until he finally published ,The Gray Notebook, as both the first volume and the capstone of his collected works. It is a beautiful, entrancing, delightful book—at once a distillation of the spirit of youth and the work of a lifetime.

Lincoln Paine

A monumental retelling of world history through the lens of maritime enterprise, revealing in breathtaking depth how people first came into contact with one another by ocean and river, lake and stream, and how goods, languages, religions, and entire cultures spread across and along the world’s waterways, bringing together civilizations and defining what makes us most human.  , Lincoln Paine takes us back to the origins of long-distance migration by sea with our ancestors’ first forays from Africa and Eurasia to Australia and the Americas. He demonstrates the critical role of maritime trade to the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley. He reacquaints us with the great seafaring cultures of antiquity like those of the Phoenicians and Greeks, as well as those of India and Southeast and East Asia, who parlayed their navigational skills, shipbuilding techniques, and commercial acumen to establish thriving overseas colonies and trade routes in the centuries leading up to the age of European expansion. And finally, his narrative traces how commercial shipping and naval warfare brought about the enormous demographic, cultural, and political changes that have globalized the world throughout the post–Cold War era. , This tremendously readable intellectual adventure shows us the world in a new light, in which the sea reigns supreme. We find out how a once-enslaved East African king brought Islam to his people, what the American “sail-around territories” were, and what the Song Dynasty did with twenty-wheel, human-powered paddleboats with twenty paddle wheels and up to three hundred crew. Above all, Paine makes clear how the rise and fall of civilizations can be linked to the sea. An accomplishment of both great sweep and illuminating detail, ,The Sea and Civilization, is a stunning work of history.

Paradise Planned ,is the definitive history of the development of the garden suburb, a phenomenon that originated in England in the late eighteenth century, was quickly adopted in the United State and northern Europe, and gradually proliferated throughout the world. These bucolic settings offered an ideal lifestyle typically outside the city but accessible by streetcar, train, and automobile.,  , Today, the principles of the garden city movement are once again in play, as retrofitting the suburbs has become a central issue in planning. Strategies are emerging that reflect the goals of garden suburbs in creating metropolitan communities that embrace both the intensity of the city and the tranquility of nature.,  , Paradise Planned, is the comprehensive, encyclopedic record of this movement, a vital contribution to architectural and planning history and an essential recourse for guiding the repair of the American townscape.

Including a Foreword by Anthony Lane, this gorgeous keepsake will be a treasured gift for all cat lovers.,Praise for ,The Big ,New Yorker, Book of Cats,  ,“The ,Book of Cats, comes a year after ,The Big New Yorker Book of Dogs,—a publishing slight that, though it stings, I’ll forgive, as the latest anthology was worth the wait. . . . Two standout articles feature real-life obsessives of ages past who reveal today’s Caturnet devotees—with their GIFs and Tumblrs and hastily aggregated listicles—for what they truly are: amateurs. . . . Eat your heart out, Cute Overload.”,—,The New York Times Book Review,  , “A beautiful hardcover.”,—Jenny McCarthy, ,People,  , “This irresistible anthology of articles, poems, essays, fiction, cartoons, and covers pulled from the New Yorker is a veritable treasure trove for cat lovers. Just dive right in; with stories from the likes of John Updike, Maeve Brennan, Roald Dalhl, and Haruki Murakami interwoven with hilariously wry cartoons, one can’t help but be enthralled. A must-have.”,—,Modern Cat, , , , “A shiny, well-fed tome . . .

Susann Cokal

A young seamstress and a royal nursemaid find themselves at the center of an epic power struggle in this stunning young-adult debut.,On the eve of Princess Sophia’s wedding, the Scandinavian city of Skyggehavn prepares to fete the occasion with a sumptuous display of riches: brocade and satin and jewels, feasts of sugar fruit and sweet spiced wine. Yet beneath the veneer of celebration, a shiver of darkness creeps through the palace halls. A mysterious illness plagues the royal family, threatening the lives of the throne’s heirs, and a courtier’s wolfish hunger for the king’s favors sets a devious plot in motion. Here in the palace at Skyggehavn, things are seldom as they seem — and when a single errant prick of a needle sets off a series of events that will alter the course of history, the fates of seamstress Ava Bingen and mute nursemaid Midi Sorte become irrevocably intertwined with that of mad Queen Isabel. As they navigate a tangled web of palace intrigue, power-lust, and deception, Ava and Midi must carve out their own survival any way they can.,A 2014 Michael L. Printz Honor Book

The Kingdom of Little Wounds

Linda Greenlaw

The term fisherwoman does not exactly roll trippingly off the tongue, and Linda Greenlaw, the world's only female swordfish boat captain, isn't flattered when people insist on calling her one. "I am a woman. I am a fisherman. . . I am not a fisherwoman, fisherlady, or fishergirl. If anything else, I am a thirty-seven-year-old tomboy. It's a word I have never outgrown." Greenlaw also happens to be one of the most successful fishermen in the Grand Banks commercial fleet, though until the publication of Sebastian Junger's ,The Perfect Storm,, "nobody cared." Greenlaw's boat, the ,Hannah Boden,, was the sister ship to the doomed ,Andrea Gail,, which disappeared in the mother of all storms in 1991 and became the focus of Junger's book.,The Hungry Ocean,, Greenlaw's account of a monthlong swordfishing trip over 1,000 nautical miles out to sea, tells the story of what happens when things go right -- proving, in the process, that every successful voyage is a study in narrowly averted disaster. There is the weather, the constant danger of mechanical failure, the perils of controlling five sleep-, women-, and booze-deprived young fishermen in close quarters, not to mention the threat of a bad fishing run: "If we don't catch fish, we don't get paid, period. In short, there is no labor union." Greenlaw's straightforward, uncluttered prose underscores the qualities that make her a good captain, regardless of gender: fairness, physical and mental endurance, obsessive attention to detail. But, ultimately, Greenlaw proves that the love of fishing -- in all of its grueling, isolating, suspenseful glory -- is a matter of the heart and blood, not the mind. , "I knew that the ocean had stories to tell me, all I needed to do was listen." -- Svenja Soldovieri

The Machine

David Heinemeier Hansson,Jason Fried

The “work from home” phenomenon is thoroughly explored in this illuminating new book from bestselling 37signals founders Fried and Hansson, who point to the surging trend of employees working from home (and anywhere else) and explain the challenges and unexpected benefits.  Most important, they show why – with a few controversial exceptions such as Yahoo -- more businesses will want to promote this new model of getting things done.,The Industrial Revolution's "under one roof" model of conducting work is steadily declining owing to technology that is rapidly creating virtual workspaces and allowing workers to provide their vital contribution without physically clustering together.  Today, the new paradigm is "move work to the workers, rather than workers to the workplace."  According to Reuters, one in five global workers telecommutes frequently and nearly ten percent work from home every day. Moms in particular will welcome this trend.  A full 60% wish they had a flexible work option. But companies see advantages too in the way remote work increases their talent pool, reduces turnover, lessens their real estate footprint, and improves the ability to conduct business across multiple time zones, to name just a few advantages.  In ,Remote,, inconoclastic authors Fried and Hansson will convince readers that letting all or part of work teams function remotely is a great idea--and they're going to show precisely how a remote work setup can be accomplished.

Linda Greenlaw

Declared a triumph by the ,New York Times Book Review,, Linda Greenlaw's first book, ,The Hungry Ocean,, appeared on nearly every major bestseller list in the country. Now, taking a break from the swordfishing career that earned her a major role in ,The Perfect Storm,, Greenlaw returns to Isle au Haut, a tiny Maine island with a population of 70 year-round residents, 30 of whom are Greenlaw's relatives. With a Clancy-esque talent for fascinating technical detail and a Keillor-esque eye for the drama of small-town life, Greenlaw offers her take on everything from rediscovering home, love, and family to island characters and the best way to cook and serve a lobster. But Greenlaw also explores the islands darker side, including a tragic boating accident and a century-old conflict with a neighboring community. Throughout, Greenlaw maintains the straight-shooting, funny, and slightly scrappy style that has won her so many fans, and proves once again that fishermen are still the best storytellers around.

Pipacs alacsony, de igen vastag ember volt. Vastag, de nem kövér. Nagy csípője, széles nyaka, oszlopos combjai, előreugró gorillaállkapcsa csupa erőt, stabilitást és nyugalmat sugárzott. Kevésbé tette előkelővé a megjelenését, hogy két lábfejét egymástól legyezőszerűen távol tartotta. Ő volt ugyanis a világ legcsámpásabb embere. Felső teste inga módjára lengett járás közben a derekán, és szokott mozdulata volt, hogy zsebre dugott két kezével időnként felfelé rántotta nadrágját.,– Az élet olyan mint a füst. Ma itt vágnak fejbe, holnap ott. – szokta mondani.,Barátjával elindul megkeresni Miss Lilian édesapját Borneo ősrengetegébe. És amikor szembetalálkoznak a banditákkal, sziklák röpködnek, pofonok csattannak, szamarak ordítanak, elszabadulnak az indulatok és a pisztolyok.,Még az is elképzelhető, hogy a gonosz nyeri el jutalmát, a jó pedig kellőképpen megbűnhődik…

I'm writing this because you begged. You know how I love the begging. In fact, you probably know too many things and know them far too well. Who am I? Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out. I was a whore in my youth, a killer since my adolescence, and a monster as a man. I am the man who kidnapped Livvie. I am the man who held her in a dark room for weeks. But, most importantly, I am the man she loves. She loves me. It's quite sick, isn't it? Of course, there's more to our story than can be surmised in a few short sentences, but I'm at a loss for justifying my behavior back then. I assume if you're reading this, I don't need to make those justifications. You've already made your own. You're reading this because you want to know about the rest of the story. You want to know what happened that warm summer night in September of 2010, the night I met Livvie at The Paseo. It was the night my life changed all over again. It didn't happen exactly as Livvie said. She's been very kind to me in the retelling of our story. The truth is far more...complicated.

Текстовете са събрани за първи път в книга.,===,Из “Невидимите кризи”,Всяка криза има видима и невидима страна. Ние не сме направени от икономика и политика. Направени сме също от тъга и колебание, от такива крехки и необясними неща... Няма как да излекуваш тъга с антибиотик.

Ще я нарека Изчерпване на залежите от смисъл. Затова предвиждам страхотно бъдеще за литературата като произвеждаща смисъл. Литературата като алтернативен енергиен източник.,Литературата е бавна медия, но бавното трае дълго. Харесвам историята за бедуините, които по време на дългите си преходи спирали често, за да дадат време на душите си да ги настигнат. Скоростта на душата е друга. Твърдя, че литературата знае повече за тази скорост.,...Четящият човек извършва една невидима работа по вкуса. А човекът с вкус, по-трудно става подлец, най-малкото, защото е некрасиво. Четящият човек е красив.,===,За изчерпването на залежите от смисъл. За литературата като алтернативен енергиен източник. За чудото на четенето. За писането. За това как българският аероплан роди футуризма. И какво (не) роди 1968-а. За случилото се и неслучилото се тук. За отказания свят. За Европа, обезпечена с литература.

From formal outfits to costumes crafted for the stage, from ensembles suited to adventure to casual street styles, steampunk fashion has come to encompass quite a few different looks. But what exactly is steampunk? Originally conceived as a literary genre, the term “steampunk” described stories set in a steam-powered, science fiction-infused, Victorian London. Today steampunk has grown to become an aesthetic that fuels many varied art forms. Steampunk has also widened its cultural scope. Many steampunk practitioners, rather than confining their vision to one European city, imagine steam-driven societies all over the world., ,Today the vibrance of steampunk inspires a wide range of individuals, including designers of high fashion, home sewers, crafters, and ordinary folks who just want to have fun. Steampunk fashion is not only entertaining, dynamic, and irreverent; it can also be colorful, sexy, and provocative. Most of all, steampunk fashion is accessible to everyone., ,Illustrated throughout with color photographs of the dazzling creations of numerous steampunk fashion designers, Anatomy of Steampunk is an inspirational sourcebook. In addition to presenting the looks and stories of these creative fashion artists, the book also details ten steampunk projects for the reader to try at home. Allow steam to power your imagination!
