Ivan Ramen Random House
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
The end-all-be-all guide to ramen from Ivan Orkin, the iconoclastic New York-born owner of Tokyo's top ramen shop. In 2007, Orkin, a middle-aged Jewish guy from Long Island, did something crazy. In the food-zealous, insular megalopolis of Tokyo, Ivan opened a ramen shop. He was a gaijin (foreigner), trying to make his name in a place that is fiercely opinionated about ramen. At first, customers came because they were curious, but word spread quickly about Ivan

Droga św. Jakuba Bergverlag Rother Camino de Santiago Bergverlag Rother
Europa > Hiszpania > Hiszpania
With over 1000 years of history, the Way of St. James is one of the classic long distance walks. This historical route along almost 1000 kilometres from the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela offers unique cultural, scenic and nature experiences. Since the Holy Year of 2010 the Way of St. James has gained even more in popularity and attracts more and more people from very different backgrounds, faiths and generations. It does not matter what the reason might be for setting out on the path to Santiago de Compostela - in the end you are confident that you have had a quite special experience. The Rother walking guide describes in a total of 41 stages the whole of the Camino francés from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port via Roncesvalles, as well as the Aragon route from the Somport pass via Jaca to Santiago de Compostela, including possible secondary routes and the extension to Finisterre or Muxía. Thus the Way of St. James leads through a wealth of diverse landscapes, continuously interrupted by culturally and historically interesting places like Roncesvalles, Pamplona, Puente la Reina, San Juan de Ortega, Burgos or Leon, to name but a few. The natural experience dominates at first with the Pyrenean mountains, then the Rioja region characterised by vineyards, followed by the endless barren wastes of the Castillian plateau. But finally, it is the greenery of Galicia that rewards you for all your efforts and deprivations of the long journey, before you reach the climactic destination of Santiago de Compostela. If you still have time, then continuing to the coast, to Finisterre and Muxía, is highly recommended. Detailed maps, precise descriptions of the individual stages including easy-to-read height profiles, as well as comprehensive details of the infrastructure along the way such as medical services, shopping opportunities or banks, make your planning of the walk easier, especially for deviations from the stages described in this guide. Detailed information is also given about the location and standard of accommodation in the pilgrim hostels along the way, graded accordingly with one to three St. James shells. General tips on planning the route and equipment at the start of the book make this walking guide into a compact and practical guide. Special mention is also made of historical and scenic delights, as well as regional peculiarities, local fiestas and culinary specialities. A selection of representative photos provide insights into the diversity of landscape and culture experienced along the Way of St. James.

Circular Economy Handbook Palgrave Macmillan
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Can we align global production and consumption systems with sustainability? Can business growth actually lead to a healthier planet? Can companies innovate through the circular economy to create competitive advantage and genuine impact? Waste to Wealth proved that the emerging circular economy advantage exists - now Lacy, Long and Spindler show you how to realize it at speed and scale in The Circular Economy Handbook . We stand at a crossroads, with rising geopolitical and geo-economic tensions, massive technological change and a host of social and environmental challenges. We are pushing planetary boundaries to their limits, with climate change and threats to biodiversity and oceans as just a few examples. Significant impacts are already being felt, and both people and planet face potentially catastrophic and irreversible consequences if we don't urgently change our global model and systems. Our current linear "take, make, waste" models of production and consumption will not be sustainable in a world of some 9 billion people by 2050, especially with ever-expanding rates of consumption. Thriving within these dynamics demands more than incremental adjustments to business-as-usual. The circular economy offers a powerful means to decouple growth from use of scarce and harmful resources, enabling greater production and consumption with fewer negative environmental impacts-at the same time, making companies more innovative and competitive. In fact, this book shows that $4.5 trillion in economic value is at stake. Delivering on the promise of a circular economy demands impact and scale, extending through value chains and, ultimately, disrupting the entire economic system. In The Circular Economy Handbook , the authors illuminate the path from insight to action, from linear to circular. With case studies, advice and practical guidance, they show leaders how to pivot towards a holistic circular organization, embedding circularity internally and delivering broad-based system change. With unique insights across business models, technologies, and industries - featuring stories and real-world examples from circular pioneers - this book is the essential guide to help companies become leaders in the movement to secure the circular economy advantage.

Good Morning, Destroyer of Men's Souls Crown
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
A scorching memoir of a love affair with an addict, weaving personal reckoning with psychology and history to understand the nature of addiction, codependency, and our appetite for obsessive love Ferocious . . . glints with hard-won truths . . . Aron lights a path through the darkness of her past toward a better future. Los Angeles TimesNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PARADE The disease he has is addiction, Nina Renata Aron writes of her boyfriend, K. The disease I have is loving him. Their love affair is dramatic, urgent, overwhelming an intoxicating antidote to the long, lonely days of early motherhood. Soon after they get together, K starts using again, and years of relapses and broken promises follow. Even as his addiction deepens, she stays, convinced she is the one who can get him sober. After an adolescence marred by family trauma and addiction, Nina can t help but feel responsible for those suffering around her. How can she break this pattern? If she leaves K, has she failed him? Writing in prose at once unflinching and acrobatic, Aron delivers a piercing memoir of romance and addiction, drawing on intimate anecdotes as well as academic research to crack open the long-feminized and overlooked phenomenon of codependency. She shifts between visceral, ferocious accounts of her affair with K and introspective analyses of the part she plays in his addictions, as well as defining moments in the history of codependency, from the temperance movement to the formation of Al-Anon to more recent research in the psychology of addiction. Good Morning, Destroyer of Men s Souls is a blazing, bighearted book that illuminates and adds nuance to the messy tethers between femininity, enabling, and love.Praise for Good Morning, Destroyer of Men's Souls Unflinching . . . Aron writes in gripping prose about the thrills and dangers of her own substance use and relationship with K their weak-kneed passion and wolfish needs, as well as her guilt-ridden enabling and savior-complex optimism. San Francisco Chronicle In Nina Renata Aron s scorching, unvarnished memoir, an addiction story gets spun from the perspective of the helpless partner, the lover too stuck in a dangerous dynamic to find her way out.

"As inspiring as it is practical."--Arianna Huffington, author of Thrive and The Sleep RevolutionA pioneering psychologist reveals how three powerful emotions are the surest path to attaining your goalsGrit, the ability to persevere against all odds, is widely recognized as the key to success. But how can grit be cultivated and sustained? In this myth-shattering book, David DeSteno reveals that the most powerful tools we can draw upon to achieve our toughest goals are not willpower or self-denial, but our prosocial emotions--gratitude, compassion, and pride. In fact, this undervalued toolkit evolved specifically to help us resist immediate temptations in favor of long-term gains. DeSteno breaks down the long-overlooked mechanisms of perseverance built into our brains and shows how we can work with our emotions, instead of denying them, to achieve our goals. And he shows how we can do it with greater ease and deeper satisfaction than we would have thought possible."Revolutionary." --Chade-Meng Tan, author of Joy on Demand and Search Inside Yourself"Anyone who hopes to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life should read this book."--Peter Salovey, professor of psychology and president, Yale University, and discoverer of emotional intelligence"DeSteno's provocative argument is that the science of success is, in fact, very much the science of social emotions like gratitude and compassion. I, for one, am convinced!"--Angela Duckworth, author of Grit

"One of the greatest works of science fiction ever written." - Richard Dawkins "Without a question the most intelligently written science fiction story I have ever read . . . A terrific yarn." - Charlotte Observer "An eerie story which demands the reader's attention from start to finish." - Denver Post "[A] rattling good story . . . a really thrilling book. There is a largeness, generosity, and jollity about the whole spirit of the book that reminds one of the early Wells at his best." - G. S. Fraser, New Statesman Astronomers in England and America have made a terrifying discovery: an ominous black cloud the size of Jupiter is travelling straight towards our solar system. If their calculations are correct, the cloud's path will bring it between the Earth and the Sun, blocking out the Sun's rays and threatening unimaginable consequences for our planet. With the fate of every living thing on Earth in the balance, world leaders assemble a team of brilliant scientists to figure out a way to stop the cloud. But when they uncover the truth behind its origins, they will be forced to reconsider everything they think they know about the nature of life in the universe . . . A landmark of British science fiction, The Black Cloud (1957) was the first novel by world-renowned astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle (1915-2001), who used his own scientific background to create a frighteningly real apocalyptic thriller in which, Hoyle said, "there is very little that could not conceivably happen." Long recognized as a classic in Great Britain, Hoyle's novel returns to print in the U.S. for the first time in over 40 years in this edition, published to coincide with the centennial of the author's birth and featuring a new foreword by Geoffrey Hoyle.

She Has Her Mother's Laugh Dutton Books
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Heredity is redefined in this sweeping, resonating overview of a force that shaped human society-a force set to shape our future even more radically."Extraordinary"-New York Times Book Review"Magisterial"-The Atlantic"Engrossing"-Wired"Leading contender as the most outstanding nonfiction work of the year"-Minneapolis Star-TribuneAward-winning, celebrated New York Times columnist and science writer Carl Zimmer presents a profoundly original perspective on what we pass along from generation to generation. Charles Darwin played a crucial part in turning heredity into a scientific question, and yet he failed spectacularly to answer it. The birth of genetics in the early 1900s seemed to do precisely that. Gradually, people translated their old notions about heredity into a language of genes. As the technology for studying genes became cheaper, millions of people ordered genetic tests to link themselves to missing parents, to distant ancestors, to ethnic identities...But, Zimmer writes, "Each of us carries an amalgam of fragments of DNA, stitched together from some of our many ancestors. Each piece has its own ancestry, traveling a different path back through human history. A particular fragment may sometimes be cause for worry, but most of our DNA influences who we are-our appearance, our height, our penchants-in inconceivably subtle ways." Heredity isn't just about genes that pass from parent to child. Heredity continues within our own bodies, as a single cell gives rise to trillions of cells that make up our bodies. We say we inherit genes from our ancestors-using a word that once referred to kingdoms and estates-but we inherit other things that matter as much or more to our lives, from microbes to technologies we use to make life more comfortable. We need a new definition of what heredity is and, through Carl Zimmer's lucid exposition and storytelling, this resounding tour de force delivers it.Weaving historical and current scientific research, his own experience with his two daughters, and the kind of original reporting expected of one of the world's best science journalists, Zimmer ultimately unpacks urgent bioethical quandaries arising from new biomedical technologies, but also long-standing presumptions about who we really are and what we can pass on to future generations.

Zones of Thought Orion Publishing Co
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
The Hugo Award winning A FIRE UPON THE DEEP and its epic companion novel A DEEPNESS IN THE SKY, set in the same universe but 20,000 years earlier, were benchmarks for SF in the last decade of the 20th century. In FIRE 'Vinge presents a galaxy divided into Zones - regions where different physical constraints allow very different technological and mental possibilities. Earth remains in the "Slowness" zone, where nothing can travel faster than light and minds are fairly limited. The action of the book is in the "Beyond", where translight travel and other marvels exist, and humans are one of many intelligent species. One human colony has been experimenting to find a path to the "Transcend", where intelligence and power are so great as to seem godlike. Instead they release the Blight, an evil power, from a billion-year captivity.' Publisher's Weekly In DEEPNESS, 'the story has the same sense of epic vastness despite happening mostly in one isolated solar system. Here there's a world of intelligent spider creatures who traditionally hibernate through the "Deepest Darkness" of their strange variable sun's long "off" periods, when even the atmosphere freezes.Now, science offers them an alternative. Meanwhile, attracted by spider radio transmissions, two human starfleets come exploring--merchants hoping for customers and tyrants who want slaves. Their inevitable clash leaves both fleets crippled, with the power in the wrong hands, which leads to a long wait in space until the spiders develop exploitable technology. Over the years Vinge builds palpable tension through multiple storylines and characters.' Dave Langford

Carnuntum to największy w Europie Środkowej rzymski zabytek, który znajduje się na terenie Austrii (pomiędzy miasteczkami Bad Deutsch - Altenburg i Petronell). Pierwotnie była to osada Celtów, którą Rzymianie przekształcili w obóz wojskowy, w pobliżu którego wyrosło miasto cywilne. Zostało ono stolicą rzymskiej prowincji Pannonia, a od II wieku Pannoni Superior. Carnuntum przez długi czas było ważnym centrum kulturalnym i gospodarczym na mapie Imperium Rzymskiego. Stanowiło ostatni punkt na Szlaku bursztynowym, który znajdował się na terenie Cesarstwa. Znaczenie Carnuntum wynikało z jego przygranicznego położenia - za Dunajem, w miejscu dzisiejszej Bratysławy rozciągały się już ziemie barbarzyńców. Dlatego Carnuntum to nie tylko miasto, ale i potężna forteca z całym systemem umocnień, których zadaniem było ochraniać północne granice Imperium. Najsłynniejszą budowlą Carnuntum jest łuk triumfalny zwany Heidentor - Pogańska Brama, który został wzniesiony ku czci cesarza Konstantyna II. Na terenie miasta znajdowały się również amfiteatr, liczne łaźnie, forum i świątynie (poświęcone Jowiszowi, Wenus i Mitrze), a pod ulicami została poprowadzona kanalizacja. Działały tu liczne przedsiębiorstwa produkcyjne, w tym znana na całą Pannonię cegielnia. Bursztyn - określany także jako Jantar, Złoto Północy, Złoto Bałtyku, Dobry Kamień, Święty Kamień, Amber, Elektrum - to budząca zachwyt kopalna żywica sprzed 40 mln lat, niezwykła i tajemnicza, posiadająca dobroczynne właściwości, które doceniono już w wiekach średnich. Ta kopalna żywica drzew iglastych, a w rzadszych przypadkach żywicujących liściastych drzew z grupy bobowców, występuje aż w około 60 gatunkach. Bursztyn znany był od dawna: Grecy nazywali ten kamień elektron, co oznacza świecący i błyszczący, Rzymianie nazywali bursztyn lyncurium, czyli mocz rysia, albowiem według legendy złocisty kamień powstał ze skamieniałego moczu tego drapieżnika, succinum to łacińska nazwa bursztynu używana w farmacji, powstała od łac. succus (sok), sukcynit - nazwa geologiczna, pochodzi od succinum (sok, żywica drzewna), Egipcjanie nazywali bursztyn sokal, Arabowie nazywali bursztyn anbar, ponieważ zapach pocieranego bursztynu kojarzył się z zapachem ambry, Persowie nazywali kamień karuba - złoty rabuś, Włosi - ambra gialla, zaś Szwedzi - raf, co oznacza znaczy chwytać, słowiańska nazwa jantar została przejęta od Litwinów, a ta od fenickiej nazwy jainitar - żywica morska. Magiczna moc lecznicza i płynąca z niego pozytywna energia zawdzięczana jest jonom ujemnym, które m.in. pobudzają system nerwowy oraz łagodzą stany reumatyczne, zapalne. W ezoteryce elektryczne właściwości bursztynu przyciągają do człowieka większe ilości siły życiowej i równoważy ciało eteryczne. Miał on też wpływać pozytywnie na rozwój zdolności paranormalnych. W medycynie ludowej dym bursztynowych kadzidełek zabijał bakterie, a noszone na szyi korale zapobiegały bólom gardła i głowy oraz wzmacniały tarczycę. Ogrzane grudki bursztynu stosowało się do wyciągania z oczu ciał obcych (muszek, pyłków). Utłuczony proszek zażywano jak tabakę, co miało oczyścić zatoki i pozbyć się kataru. Współczesna litoterapia stosuje bursztyn jako nalewkę w leczeniu chorób tarczycy, gardła, przy chrypce i reumatyzmie. Bursztyn bałtycki (sukcynit,

Ethiopian Reading of the Bible Pickwick Publications
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
This book explores the biblical interpretation of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church (EOTC). In doing so, it illuminates the interpretation of the Bible in a particular historical and cultural context and presents a compelling example of the contextual nature of biblical interpretation. Those who visit Ethiopia experience its unique spirituality, which is significantly informed by the presence of the EOTC. The EOTC has existed from earliest years of the Christian church. It has also developed and maintained its own ecclesiastic tradition in the Ethiopian context and has its own distinctive way of reading the Bible. It is noteworthy, particularly in the African context, that it has its own commentaries on the Scriptures, which continue to serve as a vital tradition in the EOTC's interpretation of the Bible. This is evident in the contemporary hermeneutics and sermons of EOTC preachers. In its comprehensive consideration of the EOTC's past and present, this book examines the interplay between tradition and context in biblical interpretation and contributes to current biblical scholarship. "This is a path-breaking study that adds historical depth and insight into contextuality and the process of contextualization. Much of the work to date on this theme has been done by Western scholars or is based on Western scholarship. Keon-Sang An, who taught theology in Ethiopia, explores the rich tradition of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church with regard to its approach to Scripture. This work deepens our understanding of contextualization as a necessary process in every local church." --Wilbert R. Shenk, Senior Professor, Fuller Graduate School of Intercultural Studies "Keon-Sang An's work is not only a window into East African biblical contextual theology; it is also an introduction to biblical and theological method for the 21st century. He carefully argues that the long shadow of western theological method must be replaced by local interpretations that pay attention to both context and tradition. Even more remarkable is that this introduction to a method and its application comes from a Korean, listening to Africans, and writing in America." --Scott W. Sunquist, Dean, School of Intercultural Studies, Professor of World Christianity, Fuller Theological Seminary Keon-Sang An is Assistant Professor of Bible and Mission at Fuller Theological Seminary. He previously served as a missionary in Eritrea and Ethiopia, working with SIM (Serving In Mission) and GMS (Global Mission Society)

Toyota rose from the ashes of World War II to become, just fifty years later, one of the dominant automakers in the world. How did Toyota do it?
