Spalona Żywcem Wyd. Kieszonkowe - Souad

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

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.

Linked Data Springer International Publishing AG

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The World Wide Web has enabled the creation of a global information space comprising linked documents. As the Web becomes ever more enmeshed with our daily lives, there is a growing desire for direct access to raw data not currently available on the Web or bound up in hypertext documents. Linked Data provides a publishing paradigm in which not only documents, but also data, can be a first class citizen of the Web, thereby enabling the extension of the Web with a global data space based on open standards - the Web of Data. In this Synthesis lecture we provide readers with a detailed technical introduction to Linked Data. We begin by outlining the basic principles of Linked Data, including coverage of relevant aspects of Web architecture. The remainder of the text is based around two main themes - the publication and consumption of Linked Data. Drawing on a practical Linked Data scenario, we provide guidance and best practices on: architectural approaches to publishing Linked Data; choosing URIs and vocabularies to identify and describe resources; deciding what data to return in a description of a resource on the Web; methods and frameworks for automated linking of data sets; and testing and debugging approaches for Linked Data deployments. We give an overview of existing Linked Data applications and then examine the architectures that are used to consume Linked Data from the Web, alongside existing tools and frameworks that enable these. Readers can expect to gain a rich technical understanding of Linked Data fundamentals, as the basis for application development, research or further study.Table of Contents: List of Figures / Introduction / Principles of Linked Data / The Web of Data / Linked Data Design Considerations / Recipes for Publishing Linked Data / Consuming Linked Data / Summary and Outlook

Kniha JFK Random House Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK A Pulitzer Prize winning historian takes us as close as we have ever been to the real John F. Kennedy in this revelatory biography of the iconic, yet still elusive, thirty-fifth president. An utterly incandescent study of one of the most consequential figures of the twentieth century. Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United StatesWINNER OF THE ELIZABETH LONGFORD PRIZE  NAMED BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR BY The Times (London) NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Sunday Times (London)  New Statesman The Daily Telegraph Kirkus ReviewsBy the time of his assassination in 1963, John F. Kennedy stood at the helm of the greatest power the world had ever seen, a booming American nation that he had steered through some of the most perilous diplomatic standoffs of the Cold War. Born in 1917 to a striving Irish American family that had become among Boston s wealthiest, Kennedy knew political ambition from an early age, and his meteoric rise to become the youngest elected president cemented his status as one of the most mythologized figures in American history. And while hagiographic portrayals of his dazzling charisma, reports of his extramarital affairs, and disagreements over his political legacy have come and gone in the decades since his untimely death, these accounts all fail to capture the full person.Beckoned by this gap in our historical knowledge, Fredrik Logevall has spent much of the last decade searching for the real JFK. The result of this prodigious effort is a sweeping two-volume biography that properly contextualizes Kennedy amidst the roiling American Century. This volume spans the first thirty-nine years of JFK s life from birth through his decision to run for president to reveal his early relationships, his formative experiences during World War II, his ideas, his writings, his political aspirations. In examining these pre White House years, Logevall shows us a more serious, independently minded Kennedy than we ve previously known, whose distinct international sensibility would prepare him to enter national politics at a critical moment in modern U.S. history. Along the way, Logevall tells the parallel story of America s midcentury rise. As Kennedy comes of age, we see the charged debate between isolationists and interventionists in the years before Pearl Harbor; the tumult of the Second World War, through which the United States emerged as a global colossus; the outbreak and spread of the Cold War; the domestic politics of anti-Communism and the attendant scourge of McCarthyism; the growth of television s influence on politics; and more. JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917 1956 is a sweeping history of the United States in the middle decades of the twentieth century, as well as the clearest portrait we have of this enigmatic American icon.

Parenting from the Heart CCB Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Just when you thought you've heard it all-Parenting from the Heart offers a new and different, refreshing approach to parenting. This easy-to-understand, down-to-earth book moves beyond parenting theories and techniques to get to the heart of parenting. If parents know how to look within their hearts to find the answers they need, parenting techniques are not necessary. If parents know how to find a loving connection with their children at most times, discipline and consequences are rarely necessary. All parents have it within them to bring out the best in their children. Approaching parents in this way makes parenting a true pleasure instead of the battle and chore it often becomes. Many so-called experts say that raising kids is the toughest job any of us will ever do, but it does not have to be that way. It can be the most joyful thing any of us will ever do. Parenting from the Heart is a must resource for anyone who cares about parenting and raising children. About the Author: Jack Pransky, Ph.D. is Director of the Center for Inside-Out Understanding and is an international consultant and trainer for the prevention of problem behaviors and the promotion of well-being. He also authored the books, Somebody Should Have Told Us!; Modello: A Story of Hope for the Inner-City and Beyond; Prevention from the Inside-Out, Prevention: The Critical Need and co-authored both the Healthy Thinking, Feeling, Doing--from the Inside-Out curriculum and guide for middle school students and What Is A Thought (A Thought Is A Lot), a picture book for little children. Pransky has worked in the field of prevention since 1968 in a wide variety of capacities. He has offered parenting training and consultation to a great number of parents, and has trained many parenting course instructors.

Leonberger Revodana Publishing

Caroline Bliss-Isberg has spent countless hours researching, interviewing and documenting to produce what is by far the most comprehensive collection of Leonberger facts and history every assembled. With great affection for this imposing but affable breed, Bliss-Isberg explains how it managed to outwit a hostile dog 19th-Century fancy, made invaluable (and little known) contributions to the Saint Bernard and Newfoundland, survived two world wars, and now faces unique challenges in the 21st Century. Filled with historical photos and illustrations, some of them never before published, this book is an absolute must for anyone interested in this endearing German breed. About the Author: Caroline Bliss-Isberg has lived and loved Leonbergers for more than twenty-five years. A frequent contributor to the LeoLetter, founder of the email LeoList, 1997 National Specialty chairperson, two-term president of the Leonberger Club of America, U.S. delegate to the International Leonberger Union and Leonberger Health Foundation director, she is a recipient of the Heinrich Essig Award and the Leo Heart Award. Reviews: "This is not "just another book about Leonbergers." I have read many books about the breed, but I have never seen such an extensive presentation on the origin and development of the Leonberger, from its very beginning, through 170 years, to today! The writer give us information that is not found in earlier books." - Per Kr. Andersen, judge and vice president of the International Leonberger Union "Not only is this book a unique history of a once-rare large-breed dog, it is also the story of a passionate love affair. Bliss-Isberg has written an amazingly readable history of the Leonberger that begins in Europe in the middle of the 19th Century and continues up until the present day. This splendid book is a must read for all Leo lovers!" - Mary Decher, von Klingelberg Kennels, founding member and past president of the Leonberger Club of America "'The Leonberger' is one of the best breed books I have ever read. The research that went into this gem is just unbelievable. If you are a breeder, exhibitor or a fan of this wonderful breed, you must have this book." - Pat Hastings, author and AKC judge

Ride of a Lifetime Random House Publishing

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A memoir of leadership and success: The executive chairman of Disney, Time s 2019 businessperson of the year, shares the ideas and values he embraced during his fifteen years as CEO while reinventing one of the world s most beloved companies and inspiring the people who bring the magic to life. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPRRobert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger think global and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets. Today, Disney is the largest, most admired media company in the world, counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and he is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our era.In The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger shares the lessons he learned while running Disney and leading its 220,000-plus employees, and he explores the principles that are necessary for true leadership, including:  Optimism. Even in the face of difficulty, an optimistic leader will find the path toward the best possible outcome and focus on that, rather than give in to pessimism and blaming.  Courage. Leaders have to be willing to take risks and place big bets. Fear of failure destroys creativity.  Decisiveness. All decisions, no matter how difficult, can be made on a timely basis. Indecisiveness is both wasteful and destructive to morale.  Fairness. Treat people decently, with empathy, and be accessible to them. This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as the lowliest studio grunt at ABC. It s also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the Star Wars mythology.  The ideas in this book strike me as universal Iger writes.  Not just to the aspiring CEOs of the world, but to anyone wanting to feel less fearful, more confidently themselves, as they navigate their professional and even personal lives.

Worship Innovo Publishing LLC

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

ABOUT THE BOOK: Nothing is higher on God's agenda for Himself and for His people than worship. To God worship is so vital that to fail to experience genuine worship is fatal. Yet it is possible to go through life thinking we have worshiped without ever having done so. Any study of worship is incomplete without a life-action response. This six-week interactive study presents a process where God brings you face-to-face with His truth, then guides you to an interaction with that truth. This study brings the pastor, staff, church leaders, and congregation to a mutual conviction regarding what worship is as God has revealed it in His Word. The purpose of this study is to help a church corporately come to unity of heart and life in their understanding and experience of God's requirements and standards for worship. Week 1: What God Did in Creation Week 2: Why God Is So Central in Worship Week 3: What Is God's Standard for Acceptable Worship? Week 4: The Lifestyle of a Transformed Worshiper Week 5: Heaven's Pattern for Worship Week 6: What Would Happen if We Returned to Worship? ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Henry Blackaby has spent his life in ministry. He has served as a music director, Christian education director, and senior pastor in churches in California and Canada; his first church assignment was in 1958. Following his local-church ministry, Dr. Blackaby became a Bible college president, a missionary, and an executive in the Southern Baptist Convention. In the early 1990s, Henry Blackaby became one of North America's best-selling Christian authors and committed the rest of his life to helping people know and experience God. Ron Owens has ministered as a worship leader, and through music, in many areas of the world, teaching, composing, publishing, and recording, along with his wife, Patricia. Their music has been translated into several languages.
