Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia... W zapomnianej przez Boga wiosce w Cisjordanii kobiety są warte mniej niż zwierzęta domowe. Tu mężczyzna jest panem życia i śmierci żony, córki, siostry. Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu. Na zawsze jednak pozostanie straszliwie okaleczona - na ciele i duszy. I wciąż musi się ukrywać; dopóki żyje, jej rodzinę okrywa hańba. Spalona żywcem, opublikowana pod pseudonimem szokująca opowieść o piekle, jakim było jej dzieciństwo i młodość, stała się międzynarodowym bestsellerem. Wydana w 37 w krajach książka przerywa tabu milczenia wobec istniejącej nadal w krajach muzułmańskich barbarzyńskiej tradycji. Nieludzkiego obyczaju, prawa mężczyzn, na mocy którego co najmniej pięć tysięcy kobiet pada co roku ofiarą zbrodni honorowej. Nazwa - Spalona Żywcem Wyd.

Heart of the Game Bold Strokes Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Sometimes baseball is just a metaphor for life, and sometimes it works the other way around. All Sarah Duke ever cared about was baseball, and she's finally earned her shot as a full-time sports writer. She loves the work, she loves being one of the few women to ever gain access to a man's world, but most of all, she loves the game. When Duke meets Molly Grettano and her two sons at the ballpark, she instantly connects with the young family, but Molly isn't sure Duke's ready for something more. Molly wants someone softer, more feminine, and more importantly, someone steady. She and her boys have been abandoned before, and she's vowed to never to put them in that position again. If she were ever to trust anyone, it would have to be someone fully dedicated to her and her children. Duke has a lot of heart, but neither woman is sure there's enough room left in it for anything other than baseball.

How I Beat Fischer's Record - Judit Polgar Teaches Chess 1 (twarda okładka)

Szachy > Postęp szachowy

Wersja językowa książki - angielska.  "Notions of chess have been shattered by a teen-age Hungarian girl - some call her modest and soft-spoken, but many opponents know her as a ferocious tiger over the board - who after years of steady progress began breathing down the necks of the top men and now has broken the barrier of one of the world's most exclusive clubs: she has earned the rank of grandmaster at 15 years, 5 months, one month younger than Bobby Fischer when he did it 34 years ago." New York Times, 1992Great achievements often take a lifetime of preparation, but when these achievements are becoming the World Number 1 at the age of 12 and the youngest ever grandmaster at the age of 15 you have to start early! In this very personal book  Judit Polgar describes her early moments of success and the chess ideas she needed to master to achieve them.This exceptional book is the beginning of a unique project where one of the greatest players of our time transforms her personal journey to the top into a roadmap for everyone who ever wanted to better themselves in the game of chess. Judit Polgar  has been ranked 1st on the Women's rating list from 1988 to this day. In 2005 she became the only woman in chess history to participate in the World Championship final.ISBN: 978-1-907982-19-4 - 384 pages - Published 21 September 2012Reviews"The games are typically annotated gently and accessibly, with far more explanations than variations. I liked the fact that the first chapter (called 'Tricks') is a simple celebration of her youthful trickiness - a feature shared by many other young players...The unusual upbringing of the Polgar sisters is well known, but this book is not meant as a critique of that, although it is both personal and reflective. In fact, the impression is simply very positive - that chess was fun, and threw many opportunities their way. Ther are plenty of charming photos and anecdotes throughout, and Judit often discusses the ways in which her training gradually shaped her play. GM Luke McShane , New In Chess"Throughout the book Judit has provided an abundance of personal insights and anecdotes, from the 'lucky sweater' that helped her to victory in New York, to summer snowball fights in Iceland! Above all else though, she set out to give the book real instructional value so as to benefit players of varying abilities, as well as chess trainers." ChessBase  (full review)"Sometimes, however, a book comes along which every chess enthusiast will want to buy. Among that select handful must surely be the first to be written by Judit Polgar...What players of all ages and strengths will relish is her very frank descriptions of the mischievous thrill she would get when tricking much older, normally male, players. Thus, after one of them fell for a lethal Polgar tactic, she writes, "Oops. My opponent's face turned red instantly." There is even a photograph of the two players after this game, with the grandmaster in question looking as if he had just swallowed a wasp." Dominic Lawson , Standpoint (full review)"The book serves the double purpose of being autobiographical (about her early years and the rise to the GM title), as well as illustrating how an understanding of chess develops from simple tactical tricks to more sophisticated strategic considerations. The book does this well and can beneficially be read both to learn more about the phenomenon that is Judit Polgar and to improve one's chess understanding." Skakbladet "The book has plenty of photographs, most of which were new to me. Some of them show how much chess has changed since the 1980s. On page 13 there is a snap of Judit working hard over a real chess board, writing notes (with pen and paper!) with a desk covered in chess literature, including a New in Chess Yearbook and a volume of the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings...How I Beat Fischer's Record presents a feast of nostalgia, entertainment and great chess. It is an inspirational chess book." Sean Marsh  (full review)"One of the qualities that undoubtedly helps her to be so popular is one that has surely helped her greatly as a chess player: she is (or sure seems to be!) relentlessly positive and optimistic. This comes through throughout the book and is even infectious...The games and game fragments throughout the book are well annotated, but not with an avalanche of variations. Analysis is there, but this is a reader-friendly book." Dennis Monokroussos , Chess Today"Polgar comes across as a friendly and, at first, somewhat na

PUG TAROT DECK PUG&DUCK Verlag

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

These cards are based on the classic tarot deck. A special feature of this game is - besides the pug illustrations - two additional cards which are "The Loyalty" and "The Unicorn". In addition, special laying techniques can be used for interpretation, which we developed especially for the Mops Tarot. You can ask the Mops Tarot cards by using the formation of the Bowl or the Paw or - even with more detail - the decision of the Unicorn. The cards can be asked in many ways, for example using the very classic oracle type according to tendencies. "The Paw" is very well suited for this, or for in between "the little bone", also to describe a current state or to recognize alternative perspectives. Current thoughts and questions that concern us can be focused well with the decision of the unicorn.This Mops Tarot deck differs in its symbolism from the classic tarot game. This is due to the Mops who of course is involved in all Major and Minor Arcana. The following symbols apply to him:The mandatory pentacles are represented in this deck as Sausages (Würste). Why is that? Because the pentacle (coin) is only valuable to humans, for a dog or even a pug it is worthless. A sausage, however, carries great value for our classic Tarot pug.The swords convert to bones (Knochen) in the Mops Tarot. This is due to the fact that a pug can play, nibble, or fight in play with a bone - not with a sword.Here, cups turn obviously into bowls (Napf). Their meaning is at least as big as the one of the sausages. Of course, it is of great importance, if these bowls are filled - with food or treats - or if they are empty or even knocked over...The wands turn into sticks (Stöckchen). Explaining is unnecessary in this case due to the Tarot Wand being way too long for the pug. But with a little stick he has a lot more options. The Tarot Mops can play with it, show off, threaten, fight, or even nibble on it. 24 cards represent the Major Arcana, which show the wisdom of the Tarot through their symbols. The Minor Mops Arcana cover 56 cards that are divided into four suits. Each of these suits consist of 10 pip cards and 4 court cards.The court cards contain Mops Page, Mops Knight, Mops Queen and Mops King. Character traits are assigned to the cards which are determined and refined by the symbolism of the Mops Tarot elements sausages, bones, bowls, and sticks:All Mops Pages symbolize character traits such as being childlike, immature, playful and carefree. These traits can be interpreted as persons with these characteristics, often however, they also indicate opportunities.Mops Knights symbolize impulsiveness, emotionality and sometimes aggression depending on the context. The young adult or teenager who wants to achieve his goals but acts impulsively and uncontrollably finds its definition in the Mops Knight. As already mentioned, an interpretation can describe people with these characteristics, but often moods and dispositions can be referred to.The Mops Queens represent femininity, emotion, and intuition. Depending on the element that is related, the characteristic of this card is refined. Therefore, the Mops Queen of bones is much braver and bolder than the Mops Queen of bowls, who due to the element of water acts more reserved, emotional, and intuitive. During an interpretation the Mops Queens may symbolize persons that surround us with these features, and sometimes even us.Strength, power, authority are the characteristics of the Mops Kings. Just as mentioned for the Mops Queens, the interpretation of a Mops King card depends on the particular element that joins the Mops King for his attribute. Therefore, the Mops King of bones will be dominant and self-conscious, while the Mops King of bowls is more empathic, vulnerable, and sensitive. During an interpretation the Mops Kings may symbolize persons that surround us with these features, and sometimes even us.

Power Law Penguin Publishing Group

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

From the New York Times bestselling author of More Money Than God comes the astonishingly frank and intimate story of Silicon Valley s dominant venture-capital firms and how their strategies and fates have shaped the path of innovation and the global economyInnovations rarely come from experts. Elon Musk was not an electric car person before he started Tesla. When it comes to improbable innovations, a legendary tech VC told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. It is the nature of the venture-capital game that most attempts at discovery fail, but a very few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else. That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives the VC business, all of Silicon Valley, the wider tech sector, and, by extension, the world.   In The Power Law, Sebastian Mallaby has parlayed unprecedented access to the most celebrated venture capitalists of all time the key figures at Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Accel, Benchmark, and Andreessen Horowitz, as well as Chinese partnerships such as Qiming and Capital Today into a riveting blend of storytelling and analysis that unfurls the history of tech incubation, in the Valley and ultimately worldwide. We learn the unvarnished truth, often for the first time, about some of the most iconic triumphs and infamous disasters in Valley history, from the comedy of errors at the birth of Apple to the avalanche of venture money that fostered hubris at WeWork and Uber.  VCs relentless search for grand slams brews an obsession with the ideal of the lone entrepreneur-genius, and companies seen as potential unicorns are given intoxicating amounts of power, with sometimes disastrous results. On a more systemic level, the need to make outsized bets on unproven talent reinforces bias, with women and minorities still represented at woefully low levels. This does not just have social justice implications: as Mallaby relates, China s homegrown VC sector, having learned at the Valley s feet, is exploding and now has more women VC luminaries than America has ever had. Still, Silicon Valley VC remains the top incubator of business innovation anywhere it is not where ideas come from so much as where they go to become the products and companies that create the future. By taking us so deeply into the VCs game, The Power Law helps us think about our own future through their eyes.

Attacking Manual 2 by Jacob Aagaard (miękka okładka)

Szachy > Postęp szachowy

Wersja językowa książki - angielska. Attacking Manual 2 - Technique and Praxis by GM Jacob AagaardThe old masters dealt only with the static features of positional rules.But, these are insufficient to explain the basics of chess. The problem is that chess, like other sciences, has undergone a dynamic revolution, but chess literature does not yet reflect this. In this major work Aagaard explains the rules of attack (the exploitation of a dynamic advantage), balanced between understandable examples, and deep analysis.Five years in the making, this book deals with weak kings, sacrifices, various minor attacking themes, intuitive sacrifices, opposite castling, modern king hunts, and enduring initiative. English Chess Federation's Book of the Year, 2010. ISBN:  978-9197600415 - 464 pages - Published 27 January 2010Reviews"A joy to read" GM Lubomir Kavalek , Huffington Post (full article)"At first glance these books are no different from other serious manuals on the middlegame: instructive games are analysed and explained. But if you get into the books, it becomes apparent and revelatory how the examples not only explain 'how' the games are won, but also 'why' this was possible. The reader will find very clear explanations for even the most complicated connections. The fluid change between deep analysis and sharp observations will create Aha! experiences for club players and grandmasters alike." Skakbladet "Interesting ideas jump off the page. This is eye-catching material at its best... This is an excellent two-volume set - and that's not just my opinion; they have recently been the joint recipients of the ECF Book of the Year award. They can rightly be considered the flagships of the Quality Chess productions." Sean Marsh , Chess magazine article on "The Best Chess Books of 2010""Published in Quality Chess's usual excellent format... full of lengthy analysis and instructive explanations... a highly nuanced book, full of thoughtful considerations." Arne Moll , ChessVibes (full review)"Aagaard delivers opinionated and sometimes biting judgments, and more importantly, he has found some remarkable and original ideas that enrich our understanding of attacking play. This is a case where computer software has been put to good use to bring out the beauty in a game, but he is not a slave to the machine, going his own way when necessary. So congratulations to Aagaard and Quality Chess." GM Daniel King and Ronan Bennett , awarding Attacking Manual 2 the Guardian Book of the Year prize"With the publication of Volume 2 the author completes a project which has taken him 7 years to complete and as he writes, #8216;fulfilled a personal ambition'. These comprehensive volumes are one of the few that can compare favourably with Dvoretsky's manuals. This is a volume which is intended for the serious student.  An excellent innovation is the provision of study positions before the main body of the text discusses them so the reader obtains maximum benefit from his efforts.  But the book can also be enjoyed as a wonderful collection of attacking games and positions. The layout and presentation is excellent." Ray Edwards ,   Julian Farrand ,   David Friedgood,  ECF judges who selected the Attacking Manual 1 and 2 as their Book of the Year"Attacking Manual 2 includes a lot of good exercises, but it is much more than just this...  The book can be used as excellent, although complex, entertainment. Aagaard is good at finding new material, so there is almost no overlap with older books on the same theme. But the greatest value of this book is to those who want a deeper understanding of those situations in chess where an attack becomes unstoppable and dynamics is the over-shadowing factor.I find it hard to come up with any points of criticism. Maybe it would be that many of the exercises are so complex that I cannot solve them! But it is exactly for this reason the book is also great for elite training.Aagaard's best book to date." GM Peter Heine Nielsen , Skakbladet "The number of different books published on the game of chess is huge ... Unfortunately few of these are devoted to attacking the king which seems sort of strange. The most ambitious approach to the subject is the two volume series by GM Jacob Aagaard, Attacking Manual 1 and Attacking Manual 2.Aagaard draws on a wide variety of sources for his model games. Most were played in the last decade but lesser known older examples are featured as well... A large number are likely to be unfamiliar to the reader with even the ones that are, like the cult-classic Serper- Nikolaidis, St. Petersburg 1993, subjected to a fresh look... Attacking Manual 1 and Attacking Manual 2 can be warmly recommended to players from 2000 to 2500."

FOOTBALL Design Museum

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book - the first of its kind - explores the design story behind football, diving into how design has been used to push the game to its technical and emotional limits. From the master planning of the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium and the innovative materials used in today's boots, to the graphic design of the Juventus team logo and the grassroots initiatives pushing back against the sport's commercialisation, this book provides a rare insight into the people and processes that have made football what it is today. More than 200 carefully curated photographs - of FIFA World Cup posters, fan culture from across Europe and South America, and cutting-edge kit and equipment - tell the story of a changing game, from the earliest days of men's and women's professional football to today's era of e-sports and vast TV audiences.Accompanying a Design Museum exhibition of the same title, this book features informed and sometimes provocative contributions from figures across the world of football and design, from analyst Statman Dave and broadcaster Martin Tyler, to architect Jacques Herzog and VP of design at adidas Sam Handy. The diverse perspectives in this catalogue reveal the extraordinary richness of the game's design legacy, and cast new light on its future.

Becoming Steve Jobs Random House Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

No.1 New York Times Bestseller§§There have been many books-on a large and small scale-about Steve Jobs, one of the most famous CEOs in history. But this book is different from all the others.§§Becoming Steve Jobs takes on and breaks down the existing myth and stereotypes about Steve Jobs. The conventional, one-dimensional view of Jobs is that he was half-genius, half-jerk from youth, an irascible and selfish leader who slighted friends and family alike. Becoming Steve Jobs answers the central question about the life and career of the Apple cofounder and CEO: How did a young man so reckless and arrogant that he was exiled from the company he founded become the most effective visionary business leader of our time, ultimately transforming the daily life of billions of people?§§Drawing on incredible and sometimes exclusive access, Schlender and Tetzeli tell a different story of a real human being who wrestled with his failings and learned to maximize his strengths over time. Their rich, compelling narrative is filled with stories never told before from the people who knew Jobs best, and who decided to open up to the authors, including his family, former inner circle executives, and top people at Apple, Pixar and Disney, most notably Tim Cook, Jony Ive, Eddy Cue, Ed Catmull, John Lasseter, Robert Iger and many others. In addition, Brent knew Jobs personally for 25 years and draws upon his many interviews with him, on and off the record, in writing the book. He and Rick humanize the man and explain, rather than simply describe, his behavior. Along the way, the book provides rich context about the technology revolution we all have lived through, and the ways in which Jobs changed our world.§§Schlender and Tetzeli make clear that Jobs's astounding success at Apple was far more complicated than simply picking the right products: he became more patient, he learned to trust his inner circle, and discovered the importance of growing the company incrementally rather than only shooting for dazzling game-changing products.§§A rich and revealing account that will change the way we view Jobs, Becoming Steve Jobs shows us how one of the most colorful and compelling figures of our times was able to combine his unchanging, relentless passion with a more mature management style to create one of the most valuable and beloved companies on the planet.§§From the Hardcover edition.

Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is among the most famous literary figures of all time. For more than a hundred years, his adventures have stood as imperishable monuments to the ability of human reason to penetrate every mystery, solve every puzzle, and punish every crime. For nearly as long, the macabre tales of H. P. Lovecraft have haunted readers with their nightmarish glimpses into realms of cosmic chaos and undying evil. But what would happen if Conan Doyle's peerless detective and his allies were to find themselves faced with mysteries whose solutions lay not only beyond the grasp of logic, but of sanity itself. In this collection of all-new, all-original tales, twenty of today's most cutting edge writers provide their answers to that burning question. "A Study in Emerald" by Neil Gaiman: A gruesome murder exposes a plot against the Crown, a seditious conspiracy so cunningly wrought that only one man in all London could have planned it-and only one man can hope to stop it. "A Case of Royal Blood" by Steven-Elliot Altman: Sherlock Holmes and H. G. Wells join forces to protect a princess stalked by a ghost-or perhaps something far worse than a ghost. "Art in the Blood" by Brian Stableford: One man's horrific affliction leads Sherlock Holmes to an ancient curse that threatens to awaken the crawling chaos slumbering in the blood of all humankind. "The Curious Case of Miss Violet Stone" by Poppy Z. Brite and David Ferguson: A girl who has not eaten in more than three years teaches Holmes and Watson that sometimes the impossible "cannot be eliminated. "The Horror of the Many Faces" by Tim Lebbon: Dr. Watson witnesses a maniacal murder in London-andrecognizes the villain as none other than his friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. "With these and fourteen other dark tales of madness, horror, and deduction, a new and terrible game is afoot. The terrifyingly surreal universe of horror master H. P. Lovecraft bleeds into the log
