Shadow of the Sun Penguin

'Only with the greatest of simplifications, for the sake of convenience, can we say Africa. In reality, except as a geographical term, Africa doesn't exist'. Ryszard Kapuscinski has been writing about the people of Africa throughout his career. In a study that avoids the official routes, palaces and big politics, he sets out to create an account of post-colonial Africa seen at once as a whole and as a location that wholly defies generalised explanations. It is both a sustained meditation on the mosaic of peoples and practises we call 'Africa', and an impassioned attempt to come to terms with humanity itself as it struggles to escape from foreign domination, from the intoxications of freedom, from war and from politics as theft. The Beginning: Collision, Ghana 1958 More than anything, one is struck by the light. Light everywhere. Brightness everywhere. Everywhere, the sun. Just yesterday, an autumnal London was drenched in rain. The airplane drenched in rain. A cold, wind, darkness. But here, from the morning

Way of the Death Defier Independently Published

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

All biological life must end...but that is not the end of us!We are small specks of light scattered throughout space and time.We are tiny flames extended, pushed, and moved away from a great brilliance that is our source. We are a probe, a dream, a great desire, that is given a chance to be all that it could possibly be in dimensions far away from that brilliance.But who are we really?What is that brilliance? What is God?What is life and death?What happens after we die?What is the nature of heaven and hell?What is reincarnation? Karma?Why do we age? Why is life so hard? Are we missing something?What are ghosts?Is true immortality possible?In this last book in a trilogy of course books that began with The Magnum Opus, all of these questions will be answered from the point of view of the inner alchemist.Here you will find answers to the nature of God, the gods, heaven, hell, reincarnation, karma, the machine of death, Barbelo, the spice, the oversoul collective, and the garden of the gods.In this book I show you how to cross the sixth and the seventh room of the projectionist and attain true immortality!Whether you are a practicing inner alchemist and adept, or a curious and holistic person who needs to see the whole picture in order to understand the challenge of the life and death cycle in your own individual ways, here you will find many of the answers that you seek, including how to begin to learn to 'see' and perceive these things directly yourself. Some have asked why each course is presented as a book. Why not make a video course or some other digital presentation that is more popular in this era? And the reason for this is quite simply: time.I have been around long enough, and my senses have become keen enough to see some of the intricacies of this world. Through such experience and perceptions, I have seen things peak and wane, and I have seen many things lost within the medium of time.Videos and digital formats require complex systems to work and be maintained, and such complex systems are usually the first to fall, or change when exposed to the brutal torrents and extreme pressures of time.But a print book, especially a Harcover book with the longest shelf-life, is something that you can keep in your personal library for a lifetime with only moderate care.

Timman#8217;s Titans: My World Chess Champions

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

The Stories and the Games:  Alekhine ­ Euwe ­ Botvinnik ­ Smyslov ­ Tal - Petrosian ­ Spassky ­ Fischer - Karpov ­ Kasparov For many years Jan Timman was one of the best chess players in the world. He combined his brilliant successes on the board with a passion for writing and meticulously analysing his own games and those of his rivals. Three times he was a World Championship Candidate and in 1993 he played in the final of the FIDE World Championship.  In this fascinating book, Jan Timman portrays ten World Chess Champions that played an important role in his life and career. Alexander Alekhine (1892-1946) he never met, but the story of how in Lisbon he bought one of the last chess sets belonging to the fourth World Champion is one of many highlights in this book.  Timman has a keen eye for detail and a fabulous memory, and he visibly enjoys sharing his insider views, including many revelations about the great champions. Timman#8217;s Titans not only presents a personal view of these chess giants, but is also an evocation of countless fascinating episodes in chess history.  Each portrait is completed by a rich selection of illustrative games, annotated in the author#8217;s trademark lucid style. Always to the point, sharp and with crystal-clear explanations, Timman shows the highs and lows from the games of the champions, including the most memorable games he himself played against them. Jan Timman  is a former world championship candidate who rose to the number two spot of the FIDE world rankings. He is the author of several highly acclaimed bestsellers, such as 'Curacao 1962', 'On the Attack!', 'Power Chess with Pieces' and 'The Art of the Endgame'. From the Judges#8217; Report of the ECF Book of the Year: #8220;What lifts this book is Timman#8217;s affectionate, intimate descriptions of the personalities of the world champions. The book must be read to obtain the full flavour of Timman#8217;s writing. It is by no means all reverential.  Timman can  be sharp (Fischer#8217;s later life, Kasparov#8217;s chess politics); but also compassionate, despairing of Tal#8217;s bohemian life style (..)  Timman#8217;s Titans  is the most informative, interesting and revealing book on the world champions covered, both as people and chess players.#8221; IM Jeroen Bosch, Schaakmagazine: "One of the finest chessbooks that have recently been published (..) Although Timman doesn't keep silent about matters such as matchfixing, abuse of power or excessive drinking, he writes his portraits with a fundamentally positive view." John Henderson, First Move: #8220;Brim full of insight, anecdotes, and well-annotated games that we#8217;ve come to normally expect from the living legend. This is a smorgasbord of a book that will easily keep the reader amazed, entertained and thoroughly enthralled from cover to cover.#8221;Magnus Carlsen on reading  Timman#8217;s Titans : "It was very inspiring to relive some of the great ideas from the past" Sean Marsh, CHESS Magazine (UK): "A very interesing book, full of anecdotes I have never seen elsewhere (..) Entertaining and instructive, 'Timman's Titans' is also Timman's finest." B.H.Wilders, Nederlands Dagblad: "The many anecdotes will changes the views of quite a few readers (..) A classic." Uwe Bekemann, German Correspondence Chess Federation: "Even chess insiders will find in the stories a lot of information they don't know (..) I have always been a fan of Timman's way of annotating games. He makes what happens on the board very easily accessible, so much so that you feel yourself fully immersed in the secrets of the game."

Sacred Name Bible Olive Press Publisher

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

God Almighty said in Exodus 20:7 (KJV) "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain." In the reverent attempt to make sure no one ever breaks this vital commandment, the Jewish rabbis decided thousands of years ago not to ever pronounce God's Sacred Name which in Hebrew is spelled YHVH. In place of His Name, they decided to say "Adonai" or "HaShem" ("The Name" in Hebrew). May God bless them for so carefully and reverently obeying His command. Jewish people still follow this custom today. Bible translators do also. They replace God's Name with "LORD" in all capital letters (as in the verse above). In fact, the adherence to this Rabbinical rule has been so complete that the correct pronunciation of the Almighty's Awesome, Sacred Name has been lost. No one today knows for sure how it was pronounced. We wonder, is that what the Creator of the Universe had in mind? Does He really never want to hear His Name on our lips, if spoken with great reverence and awe? He put His Name in the Bible almost 7000 times. David, "a man after God's own heart," wrote this Sacred, Hebrew Name almost 800 times in the Psalms, most likely also pronouncing it when he recited, prayed, or sang those psalms to YHVH. It is a beautiful blessing just to see the Hebrew Sacred Name throughout the Scriptures-a feast for our eyes and souls and spirits. Maybe someday we will also have the blessing to know how to proclaim His Name aloud in power, sing His Name lovingly in praise, and call upon His Sacred Name sincerely in supplication. However, since HaShem allowed the sound of His Name to be lost, perhaps He wants it spoken only in private truly reverently. Two most likely pronunciations put forth by Hebrew scholars are: "Yehovah" or "Yahoveh." It is not pronounced "Jehovah" because there is no "j" sound in Hebrew. It is not "Yahweh" because there is no "w" sound in Hebrew. (Although some say that in ancient Hebrew, there was a sound somewhere between a "w" and a "v".) May ADONAI Himself reveal, if He wills, how to say---in secret prayer and worship time---with all respect, honor, and reverence---His Most Holy, powerful Name. There is so much deep meaning and beauty in the Sacred Name, YHVH. There is the meaning of existing, of breath, and of past, present, and future. And when you look at the meanings of the individual Hebrew letters of YHVH, there is something very astounding. Hebrew letters were originally pictographs, each one having a meaning. The Hebrew "Y" has the underlying meaning of "hand," the background meaning of the "H" is "window" or "behold." The "V" was originally a picture of tent peg or a nail. Put this together, and it says "hand, behold, nail, behold." Since the Hebrew grammar is often backwards from English, we can turn that around to say: "Behold the hand, behold the nail." Doesn't that just give you revelation chills of awe? May the LORD keep on revealing to us more and more about His Sacred Hebrew Name. Find out something similarly astounding about our Messiah and Savior's Sacred Hebrew Name, Yeshua, in this Bible and on Olive Press Publisher's website. You will be so amazed. This Bible uses the King James Version with only these changes: &a

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

While I am an unashamed cat devotee, I have tried to remain objective while writing this book. The reason for this is that what you need, whether you are thinking of getting a Sphynx or already have one, is someone who will tell you the bald and naked truth about these amazing and sometimes challenging cats. The Sphynx is a unique and remarkable breed: very intelligent, acrobatic, loving, flirtatious, energetic and fun... and a lot of work. This book provides a great deal of helpful factual and practical information on the Sphynx cat's history, temperament and what the Sphynx needs in order to be happy and healthy. The Sphynx is a fairly new and a controversial breed. Views vary from those who would never own any other type of cat to those that think of the Sphynx as a genetic aberration that should not even have been continued. Sphynx cats do require you to look beyond the usual idea of what is feline or cat-like. Yes, they don't have the fur or physique that most people associate with cats. Yes, they do require a kind of care that is not for everyone but these cats possess physical characteristics and personalities that give them an appeal as unique as their appearance. This book also contains material that is not specific or unique to the breed but that is relevant for any cat owner. There are a number of practical tips, lists and checklists to help you to become the cat owner your feline friend needs you to be. If you are considering buying a Sphynx you will find honest information about the advantages and disadvantages of these hairless cats so that you can make a balanced and considered decision that takes the nature of the cat, your personality and your lifestyle into account. If you are already have a Sphynx cat, this book will teach you how to keep your cat happy and how you can be a happy cat owner.

Cat's Cradle Orion Books

Społeczno-obyczajowaPowieść zagraniczna

Cat?s Cradle, one of Vonnegut?s most entertaining novels, is filled with scientists and G-men and even ordinary folks caught up in the game. These assorted characters chase each other around in search of the world?s most important and dangerous substance, a new form of ice that freezes at room temperature. At one time, this novel could probably be found on the bookshelf of every college kid in America; it?s still a fabulous read and a great place to start if you?re young enough to have missed the first Vonnegut craze.Vonnegut has a way of helping his readers enter into this end-of-the-world story. Jonah, the first-person narrator, wants to write a book about the end of the world ? so naturally his topic is the inventor of the atomic bomb, Dr. Frank Hoenikker, and what the people surrounding him were doing on the day the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. It is his research that leads him to Hoenikker?s children, old acquaintances and, finally, on a journey that goes completely different than expected?The protagonist himself spoils parts of his story right at the beginning of the book, but I will do my best to keep the review spoilerfree. Personally, I didn?t even read the blurb, I just dug right into the book. Maybe that added to the wonder I felt washing over me on every page. Truth be told, I picked this as my second-chance-for-Vonnegut book because it is fairly slim (yes, I am ashamed of myself).The style is both simple and complicated. Vonnegut uses simple words and short, precise sentences to tell a story that folds back onto itself, that jumps back and forth in time and expects the reader to know things that are only revealed much later. I see how this may turn certain people off, for me it only added to the charm and the mystery of this novel. I like having to work my brain to figure out what?s going on. The revelations are just that much more satisfying. The many, very short chapters make for a nice reading experience and give you the illusion that you can stop after this chapter or that chapter ? only to find yourself continuing because it?s just that good.

The books that we choose to keep--let alone read--can say a lot about who we are and how we see ourselves. In MY IDEAL BOOKSHELF, dozens of leading cultural figures share the books that matter to them most-books that define their dreams and ambitions and in many cases helped them find their way in the world. With colourful and endearingly hand-rendered images of book spines by Jane Mount, and first-person commentary from all the contributors, this is a perfect gift for avid readers, writers, and all who have known the influence of a great book.
