Lost Over Laos Hachette Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In 1971, as American forces hastened their withdrawal from Vietnam, a helicopter was hit by enemy fire over Laos and exploded in a fireball, killing four top combat photographers: Larry Burrows of Life magazine, Henri Huet of Associated Press, Kent Potter of United Press International, and Keisaburo Shimamoto of Newsweek. The remoteness of the crash site made a recovery attempt impossible. When the war ended four years later, the war zone was sealed off and the helicopter incident faded from the headlines. But two journalist colleagues-the authors of this book-returned to Laos twenty-seven years later to resolve mysteries about the crash and pay homage to their lost friends.

Merde Happens AUTOR: Stephen ClarkeKsiążki w dobrym stanie, lekko pożółkłe strony Wersja językowa - język angielski Paul West is in deep financial merde. His only way out of debt is to accept a decidedly dodgy job that involves him touring America in a Mini, while pretending to be typically British. Also in the car is Paul's French girlfriend, Alexa, and his American poet friend, Jake, whose main aim in life is to sleep with a woman from every country in the world. Preferably in the back of Paul's Mini. But as the little car battles from New York to Miami, and then heads west, leg-room turns out to be the least of Paul's troubles. His work is being sabotaged, his tour plans are in tatters, and his love life becomes a Franco-American war zone. And as Paul knows better than anyone, when you mix love and war - merde happens ...Liczba stron: 384

Sensorium MIT Press Ltd

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The relationship between the body and electronic technology, extensively theorized through the 1980s and 1990s, has reached a new technosensual comfort zone in the early twenty-first century. In Sensorium, contemporary artists and writers explore the implications of the techno-human interface. Ten artists, chosen by an international team of curators, offer their own edgy investigations of embodied technology and the technologized body. These range from Matthieu Briand's experiment in "controlled schizophrenia" and Janet Cardiff and Georges Bures Miller's uneasy psychological soundscapes to Bruce Nauman's uncanny night visions and Franois Roche's destabilized architecture. The art in Sensorium--which accompanies an exhibition at the MIT List Visual Arts Center--captures the aesthetic attitude of this hybrid moment, when modernist segmentation of the senses is giving way to dramatic multisensory mixes or transpositions. Artwork by each artist appears with an analytical essay by a curator, all of it prefaced by an anchoring essay on "The Mediated Sensorium" by Caroline Jones.In the second half of Sensorium, scholars, scientists, and writers contribute entries to an "Abecedarius of the New Sensorium." These short, playful pieces include Bruno Latour on "Air," Barbara Maria Stafford on "Hedonics," Michel Foucault (from a little-known 1966 radio lecture) on the "Utopian Body," Donna Haraway on "Compoundings," and Neal Stephenson on the "Viral." Sensorium is both forensic and diagnostic, viewing the culture of the technologized body from the inside, by means of contemporary artists' provocations, and from a distance, in essays that situate it historically and intellectually.Copublished with The MIT List Visual Arts Center.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A searing, deeply moving memoir of illness and recovery that traces one young woman s journey from diagnosis to remission to re-entry into normal life from the author of the Life, Interrupted column in The New York TimesONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Rumpus, Library Journal, Booklist I was immersed for the whole ride and would follow Jaouad anywhere. . . . Her writing restores the moon, lights the way as we learn to endure the unknown. Chanel Miller, The New York Times Book Review   Beautifully crafted . . . affecting . . . a transformative read . . . Jaouad s insights about the self, connectedness, uncertainty and time speak to all of us. The Washington Post In the summer after graduating from college, Suleika Jaouad was preparing, as they say in commencement speeches, to enter the real world. She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. The real world she found, however, would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone. It started with an itch first on her feet, then up her legs, like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. Next came the exhaustion, and the six-hour naps that only deepened her fatigue. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. Just like that, the life she had imagined for herself had gone up in flames. By the time Jaouad flew home to New York, she had lost her job, her apartment, and her independence. She would spend much of the next four years in a hospital bed, fighting for her life and chronicling the saga in a column for The New York Times. When Jaouad finally walked out of the cancer ward after countless rounds of chemo, a clinical trial, and a bone marrow transplant she was, according to the doctors, cured. But as she would soon learn, a cure is not where the work of healing ends; it s where it begins. She had spent the past 1,500 days in desperate pursuit of one goal to survive. And now that she d done so, she realized that she had no idea how to live. How would she reenter the world and live again? How could she reclaim what had been lost? Jaouad embarked with her new best friend, Oscar, a scruffy terrier mutt on a 100-day, 15,000-mile road trip across the country. She set out to meet some of the strangers who had written to her during her years in the hospital: a teenage girl in Florida also recovering from cancer; a teacher in California grieving the death of her son; a death-row inmate in Texas who d spent his own years confined to a room. What she learned on this trip is that the divide between sick and well is porous, that the vast majority of us will travel back and forth between these realms throughout our lives. Between Two Kingdoms is a profound chronicle of survivorship and a fierce, tender, and inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again.

The Extreme Caro-Kann: Attacking Black with 3.f3

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

The Caro-Kann Defence has become one of the most important and popular replies to 1.e4. Its #8216;solid#8217; and #8216;drawish#8217; reputation no longer applies in modern chess. In fact, White could do with some new ideas to fight for an advantage in this chess opening. Grandmaster Alexey Bezgodov advocates a very early deviation, the annoying and little-explored 3.f3!?.  This strange-looking move was already played by former greats Geza Maroczy and World Champion Vassily Smyslov, but the idea has come to fruition in the hands of modern world-class players like Vassily Ivanchuk, Alexander Morozevich and Judit Polgar. The move 3.f3!? considerably complicates life for Caro-Kann players, as it makes Black#8217;s main problem bigger: the development of his bishop on c8.  White#8217;s chances to obtain an advantage are substantial, as Bezgodov shows in this fascinating new chapter in modern chess opening theory, packed with new resources, original analysis, clear explanations and dozens of tests. Alexey Bezgodov  (1969) is a Russian chess grandmaster and writer. He was Russian Champion in 1993 and came shared first in the 1999 Ukrainian Championship. In 2004 he published Challenging the Sicilian with 2.a3!?, another highly original chess opening book Martin Rieger, SchachWelt: "A very good and honest opening book with serious and deep analysis. The many novelties and new ideas make this system a weapon against the Caro-Kann that one should not underestimate." GM Glenn Flear, author of 'Starting Out: Open Games': "'The Extreme Caro-Kann' effectively takes Black out of his comfort zone, which isn't an easy task against this defence (..) An excellent book from Bezgodov. The author has certainly persuaded me that 3.f3 is more than just a surprise weapon. So Caro-Kann practitioners should get hold of this book before their future opponents do!" Richard Vedder, Schakers.info: "Choke-full of surprising variations. This system turns out to be perfectly playable." Marshtower Chess Reviews: "Unprepared opponents who run into 3. f3 will struggle to get the sort of game they are hoping for and could well end up on the wrong end of a crushing miniature." Carsten Hansen, ChessCafe: "This book is very good. It covers the subject in detail and fairly objectively and it provides an amazing amount of new ideas and analysis for both sides (..) It is a minor line, but one with a certain sting and it is finding a larger following than in previous years." Lukas Wedrychowski, DailyChess.org: "Bezgodov#8217;s recommendation is really interesting and leads to types of positions that one doesn#8217;t see in the main lines (..) It is definitely worth a try and not just in Blitz. The analysis is convincing." Alan Dommett, British Chess Magazine: "A book that I thoroughly enjoyed and found most absorbing." Todd Andrews, Chess Life Magazine: "GM Alexey Bezgodov does a good job of explaining the purpose and tactical ideas behind the moves. Also, the format of this book is excellent for giving a new chess player a glimpse into the world of how master players learn their systems." Gary Lane, Chess Moves Magazine: "An excellent guide to beating the Caro-Kann." Former British Champion Matthew Sadler: "A very impressive book (..) Bezgodov presents masses of original analysis on the many crazy sharp lines." Schach Magazin 64: "Provides a detailed overview of all variations and many practical examples. The chapter with exercises is quite good." Max Euwe Centre,  Amsterdam: "An important bo ok for aggressive White players who like to slice the solid Caro-Kann. Those who play the Caro-Kann are advised to swiftly add a response to 3.f3 to their repertoire." John D.Warth, Chess Club of Southern Indiana: "Bezgodov selects the best games from current practice; reinforces his ideas with bold analysis; and poses challenging problems -- all designed to provide clear instruction in cutting-edge positions that can best be won through insight and careful study. " Mario Ziegler, Rochade Europa Magazine: "Bezgodov very thoroughly investigates a fascinating variation with unusual positions (..) A normal Caro-Kann player will have problems with these complications, so this is a powerful weapon for White against 1..c6."  Paul Motwani, The Scotsman: "Besides trying to maintain a pawn at e4 for White, it also attempts to restrict the development options of Black#8217;s queen#8217;s bishop. There are numerous fascinating possibilities for both sides, and Bezgodov#8217;s book is highly recommended." Dennis Monokroussos, The Chess Mind: "Model games are used and there are plenty of lengthy verbal explanations (..) Bezgodov delves deeply when necessary and not every variation ends in an advantage for White. (..) Aggressive players looking for something fresh and fighting against the Caro-Kann may find this book just what they wanted, while Caro-Kann aficionados may want this book for the purpose of self-defense."

Sales EQ - How Ultra-High Performers Leverage Sales-Specific Emotional Intelligence to Close the Complex Deal John Wiley & Sons Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The New Psychology of SellingThe sales profession is in the midst of a perfect storm. Buyers have more power--more information, more at stake, and more control over the sales process--than any time in history. Technology is bringing disruptive change at an ever-increasing pace, creating fear and uncertainty that leaves buyers clinging to the status quo. Deteriorating attention spans have made it difficult to get buyers to sit still long enough to "challenge," "teach," "help," give "insight," or sell "value." And a relentless onslaught of "me-too" competitors have made differentiating on the attributes of products, services, or even price more difficult than ever.Legions of salespeople and their leaders are coming face to face with a cold hard truth: what once gave salespeople a competitive edge--controlling the sales process, command of product knowledge, an arsenal of technology, and a great pitch--are no longer guarantees of success. Yet this is where the vast majority of the roughly $20 billion spent each year on sales training goes. It's no wonder many companies are seeing 50 percent or more of their salespeople miss quota.Yet, in this new paradigm, an elite group of top 1 percent sales professionals are crushing it. In our age of technology where information is ubiquitous and buyer attention spans are fleeting, these superstars have learned how to leverage a new psychology of selling--Sales EQ--to keep prospects engaged, create true competitive differentiation, as well as shape and influence buying decisions. These top earners are acutely aware that the experience of buying from them is far more important than products, prices, features, and solutions.In Sales EQ, Jeb Blount takes you on an unprecedented journey into the behaviors, techniques, and secrets of the highest earning salespeople in every industry and field. You'll learn:* How to answer the 5 Most Important Questions in Sales to make it virtually impossible for prospects to say no* How to master 7 People Principles that will give you the power to influence anyone to do almost anything* How to shape and align the 3 Processes of Sales to lock out competitors and shorten the sales cycle* How to Flip the Buyer Script to gain complete control of the sales conversation* How to Disrupt Expectations to pull buyers towards you, direct their attention, and keep them engaged* How to leverage Non-Complementary Behavior to eliminate resistance, conflict, and objections* How to employ the Bridge Technique to gain the micro-commitments and next steps you need to keep your deals from stalling* How to tame Irrational Buyers, shake them out of their comfort zone, and shape the decision making process* How to measure and increase you own Sales EQ using the 15 Sales Specific Emotional Intelligence Markers* And so much more!Sales EQ begins where The Challenger Sale, Strategic Selling, and Spin Selling leave off. It addresses the human relationship gap in the modern sales process at a time when sales organizations are failing because many salespeople have never been taught the human skills required to effectively engage buyers at the emotional level. Jeb Blount makes a compelling case that sales specific emotional intelligence (Sales EQ) is more essential to success than education, experience, industry awareness, product knowledge, skills, or raw IQ; and, sales professionals who invest in developing and improving Sales EQ gain a decisive competitive advantage in the hyper-competitive global marketplace.Sales EQ arms salespeople and sales leaders with the tools to identify their most important sales specific emotional intelligence developmental needs along with strategies, techniques, and frameworks for reaching ultra-high performance and earnings, regardless of sales process, industry, deal complexity, role (inside or outside), product or service (B2B or B2C).
