Monkey King Skyhook Press
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
If you think Superman or Spiderman has been around a long time, think about Monkey. He has been China's favorite superhero for at least five centuries. He's amazingly strong, he can fly, and he has a few tricks those other superheroes never heard of. And he's always ready to do battle with demons, dragons -- sometimes even the gods. Monkey stars in The Journey to the West, an epic comic fantasy from the sixteenth century. The part retold here is about Monkey's origin and early career -- and the one time he didn't come out on top. For ages 10 and up. Not illustrated! ///////////////////////////////////////////////// Aaron Shepard is the award-winning author of "The Baker's Dozen," "The Sea King's Daughter," "Lady White Snake," and many more children's books. His stories have appeared often in Cricket magazine, while his Web site is known internationally as a prime resource for folktales, storytelling, and reader's theater. Once a professional storyteller, Aaron specializes in lively retellings of folktales and other traditional literature, which have won him honors from the American Library Association, the New York Public Library, the Bank Street College of Education, the National Council for the Social Studies, and the American Folklore Society. Cover artist Xiaojun Li, a native of Inner Mongolia, was an award-winning children's book illustrator and art director in China before moving to the United States. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// "Shepard's Ancient Fantasy series retells portions of epic narratives sure to pique kids' interest. He cannily selects episodes likely to grab the attention of a wide range of middle-graders, [while] his storytelling voice varies to hint at the style of the original. These mini-novels would make fun classroom readalouds, too. No dumb-downs . . . Rated S for Snapped Up." -- S. C. Poe, Route 19 Writers (blog), Apr. 4, 2012 ///////////////////////////////////////////////// SAMPLE "Here I am, only four hundred years old," said the Monkey King, "and I've already reached the heights of greatness. What is left to hope and strive for? What can be higher than a king?" "Your Majesty," said the gibbon carefully, "we have ever been grateful for that time four centuries ago when you hatched from the stone, wandered into our midst, and found for us this hidden cave behind the waterfall. We made you our king as the greatest honor we could bestow. Still, I must tell you that kings are not the highest of beings." "They're not?" said the Monkey King. "No, Your Majesty. Above them are gods, who dwell in Heaven and govern Earth. Then there are Immortals, who have gained great powers and live forever. And finally there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, who have conquered illusion and escaped rebirth." "Wonderful!" cried the Monkey King. "Maybe I can become all three!" He considered a moment, then said, "I think I'll start with the Immortals. I'll search the earth till I've found one, then learn to become one myself!"

Serpent Rising Lightning Source
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Serpent Rising: The Kundalini Compendium is the end-result of my 17-year Kundalini transformation journey after a full and sustained awakening in 2004 that permanently expanded my consciousness. After experiencing a complete visual upgrade that enables me to witness the Holographic nature of the world daily, I knew that what happened to me was unique. So for the next part of my life, I decided to use my gift and devote myself to learning the science of the invisible world of energy that I am intimately connected with while developing the right language skills to communicate my discoveries comprehensively.Awakening the Kundalini is part of your Soul's mission on Earth. Its ultimate purpose is to optimise your toroidal energy field (Merkaba) and transform you into a Being of Light, enabling Interdimensional travel through consciousness. Having the appropriate knowledge in this area can empower you to take control of your Spiritual Evolution and fulfil your destiny so that you can continue your journey through the Stars in your next lifetime. This is why I wrote this book.Serpent Rising: The Kundalini Compendium features everything you need to know on the topic of Kundalini, including the impact of the Ascension process on human anatomy and the role the nervous system plays, how to unlock your brain's full potential and awaken the power of your heart, and how to utilise Spiritual Healing modalities like Crystals, Tuning Forks, Aromatherapy, and Tattvas, to raise the vibrations of your Chakras.A large portion of the book is devoted to the philosophy and practice of Yoga (with Ayurveda), including a list of Asanas, Pranayamas, Mudras, Mantras, and meditations, and their instructions for use. I also discuss the Kundalini awakening and transformation process in detail, including permanent and partial awakenings, Lucid Dreaming, Siddhis (psychic powers), Out-of-Body Experiences, the role of food, water, nutrients, and sexual energy during integration, and peak events in the overall transfiguration process.Since I was the scientist and laboratory in one, this book contains all of my knowledge and experience acquired on my Spiritual journey, including essential meditations that I developed while encountering Kundalini energy stagnations and blockages. Lastly, having helped many Kundalini awakened people over the years who were "groping in the dark" looking for answers, I have included their most common questions and concerns as well.Serpent Rising: The Kundalini Compendium is a thorough and advanced exposition on the Kundalini that is a must-read for anyone interested in the subject and their Spiritual growth.

Grant Achatz - Alinea Random House USA Inc
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
The debut cookbook from the restaurant Gourmet magazine named the best in the country.§§A pioneer in American cuisine, chef Grant Achatz represents the best of the molecular gastronomy movement--brilliant fundamentals and exquisite taste paired with a groundbreaking approach to new techniques and equipment. ALINEA showcases Achatz's cuisine with more than 100 dishes (totaling 600 recipes) and 600 photographs presented in a deluxe volume. Three feature pieces frame the book: Michael Ruhlman considers Alinea's role in the global dining scene, Jeffrey Steingarten offers his distinctive take on dining at the restaurant, and Mark McClusky explores the role of technology in the Alinea kitchen. Buyers of the book will receive access to a website featuring video demonstrations, interviews, and an online forum that allows readers to interact with Achatz and his team.§§"Achatz is something new on the national culinary landscape: a chef as ambitious as Thomas Keller who wants to make his mark not with perfection but with constant innovation . . . Get close enough to sit down and allow yourself to be teased, challenged, and coddled by Achatz's version of this kind of cooking, and you can have one of the most enjoyable culinary adventures of your life." --Corby Kummer, senior editor of Atlantic Monthly§§"Someone new has entered the arena. His name is Grant Achatz, and he is redefining the American restaurant once again for an entirely new generation . . . Alinea is in perpetual motion; having eaten here once, you can't wait to come back, to see what Achatz will come up with next." --GourmetReviews & AwardsJames Beard Foundation Cookbook Award Finalist: Cooking from a professional Point of View Category James Beard Foundation Outstanding Chef Award! "Even if your kitchen isn't equipped with a paint-stripping heat gun, thermocirculator, or refractometer, and you're only vaguely aware that chefs use siphons and foams in contemporary cooking, you can enjoy this daring cookbook from Grant Achatz of the Chicago restaurant Alinea.. . . While the recipes can hardly become part of your everday cooking, this book is far too interesting to be left on the coffee table. As you read, a question emerges: Is Alinea's food art? . . . I go a little further, describing Achatz with a word that he would probably never use to describe himself: avant-garde, as it defined art movements at the beginning of the last century--planned, self-concious, and structured attempts to provoke and shake the status quo. Just as with those artists, the results are not necessarily as interesting as the intentions and concepts behind them. In this sense, this volume constitutes a full-blown although not threatening manifesto." - Art of Eating

My family has always been hands on with the pets in our household. Whether it was bathing, feeding or taking care of our animals, my family ensured that the animals got the best of everything. These animals were the centre of all our activities. There was not a single day that did not begin with a discussion about our pets. What to feed them? How to take care of a cat or dog that is ailing? What is the most nutritious thing to feed them? These were common dinner table conversations while I was growing up. So, needless to say, I have had a lot of practical training with respect to taking care of different breeds of animals. Today, I am in a very privileged place where I can share this information with pet lovers across the globe. I would never have been able to provide you with so much comprehensive information without the knowledge that I gained from my father, my family and of course my beloved cats.

Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate.The one thing you never talk about while you re in the Scholomance is what you ll do when you get out. Not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. But it s all we dream about: the hideously slim chance we ll survive to make it out the gates and improbably find ourselves with a life ahead of us, a life outside the Scholomance halls. And now the impossible dream has come true. I m out, we re all out and I didn t even have to turn into a monstrous dark witch to make it happen. So much for my great-grandmother s prophecy of doom and destruction. I didn t kill enclavers, I saved them. Me and Orion and our allies. Our graduation plan worked to perfection: We saved everyone and made the world safe for all wizards and brought peace and harmony to all the enclaves everywhere.Ha, only joking!
