Practical Paracord Projects Skyhorse Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Parachute cord, which is now universally known as paracord, is a lightweight nylon rope originally used by paratroopers during World War II. It is now employed as a general purpose utility cord by military personnel and civilians alike. Paracord is an ideal material for making whips, for example, due to its durability and flexibility. Hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts have made "survival bracelets" from paracord, which are meant to be unraveled when needed to secure cargo, lash together poles, and fix broken straps and laces. As more colors become available, crafters are discovering that paracord makes an excellent material for fun and stylish friendship bracelets, lanyards, belts, dog leases, key chains, and more. Originating from Instructables, a popular project-based community made up of all sorts of people with a desire to pass on their wisdom to others, Practical Paracord Projects contains ideas from a number of authors who show just how easy it is to make virtually anything from paracord. Practical Paracord Projects provides step-by-step instructions on a variety of useful and fun objects involving paracord.Guided by detailed photographs, the reader will create such practical and unusual projects as: A laptop harness A can koozie An eyeglass lanyard A hanging chair Sandals A leatherman pouch And much more!

Dynamics of Social Practice SAGE Publications Ltd

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Everyday life is defined and characterised by the rise, transformation and fall of social practices. Using terminology that is both accessible and sophisticated, this essential book guides the reader through a multi-level analysis of this dynamic. Applying on a range of theoretical traditions to core propositions the book is clear and accessible; real world examples, including the history of car driving, the emergence of frozen food, and the fate of hula hooping, bring abstract concepts to life and firmly ground them in empirical case-studies and new research. Demonstrating the relevance of social theory for public policy problems, the authors show that the everyday is the basis of social transformation addressing questions such as: / how do practices emerge, exist and die? / what are the elements from which practices are made? / how do practices recruit practitioners? / how are elements, practices and the links between them generated, renewed and reproduced? Precise, relevant and persuasive this book will inspire students and researchers from across the social sciences.

The Rise and Reign of the Mammals HarperCollins

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Renowned paleontologist and New York Times bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs Steve Brusatte charts the extraordinary story of the dinosaurs' successor: mammals, which emerged from the shadows to rule the Earth.In his acclaimed and bestselling The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs ("A masterpiece of science writing." -Washington Post), Steve Brusatte, "one of the stars of modern paleontology" (National Geographic), enchanted readers with his definitive history of the dinosaurs. Now, picking up the story in the ashes of the extinction event that doomed T-rex and his kind, Brusatte explores the remarkable story of the family of animals that inherited the Earth: mammals. Though mammals are seemingly familiar to us, Brusatte brilliantly reveals that their story is as fascinating and complex as dinosaurs.Beginning with the earliest days of the mammal lineage some 200 million years ago, Brusatte charts how mammals survived the asteroid that claimed the dinosaurs and made the world their own, becoming the furry animals that we know, love, and sometimes fear. The mammals we share the planet with today, though, are simply the few survivors of a once-verdant family tree, which has been pruned by time and mass extinctions. Saber-toothed cats, wooly mammoths, armadillos the size of a car, and bears three times the weight of a grizzly are but a few of the creatures we learn about along the way. The story concludes, of course with us-human beings-a mammal species that has so thoroughly dominated the Earth that we ourselves have triggered an extinction event that has claimed an estimated 80% of wild mammals in the last century.Brusatte also brings alive the lost worlds mammals inhabited over the past 66 million years, from ice ages to volcanic cataclysms. Entwined in this story is the detective work he and other scientists have done to piece together our understanding using fossil clues and cutting-edge technology. A sterling example of scientific storytelling that is sure to be an instant classic, The Rise and Fall of the Mammals illustrates how this incredible history laid the foundation for today's world, for us, and our future.

Esther's Inheritance Pan Macmillan

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Twenty years after leaving her, the great love of Esther's life sends a telegram. Tomorrow, he tells her, he is coming back. Esther has not forgotten that her dazzling lover is a fantasist and a liar, nor that he caused her unimaginable hurt. But she also remembers how he made her feel, how he woke a part of her that has ever since been sleeping. A special meal is planned, a car arrives at the house, and -- in a heightened visit for which Esther is not remotely prepared -- their two lives converge for a second, dizzying time.

Guardians Hodder & Stoughton

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

He was framed for murder. Now he needs a miracle. 22 years ago Quincy Miller was sentenced to life without parole. He was accused of killing Keith Russo, a lawyer in a small Florida town. But there were no reliable witnesses and little motive. Just the fact that Russo had botched Quincy's divorce case, that Quincy was black in a largely all-white town and that a blood-splattered torch was found in the boot of Quincy's car. A torch he swore was planted. A torch that was conveniently destroyed in a fire just before his trial. The lack of evidence made no difference to judge or jury. In the eyes of the law Quincy was guilty and, no matter how often he protested his innocence, his punishment was life in prison. Finally, after 22 years, comes Quincy's one and only chance of freedom. An innocence lawyer and minister, Cullen Post, takes on his case. Post has exonerated eight men in the last ten years. He intends to make Quincy the next. But there were powerful and ruthless people behind Russo's murder. They prefer that an innocent man dies in jail rather than one of them. There's one way to guarantee that. They killed one lawyer 22 years ago, and they'll kill another without a second thought.

Weapons of Math Destruction Random House Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Longlisted for the National Book AwardNew York Times BestsellerA former Wall Street quant sounds an alarm on the mathematical models that pervade modern life - and threaten to rip apart our social fabricWe live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives-where we go to school, whether we get a car loan, how much we pay for health insurance-are being made not by humans, but by mathematical models. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules, and bias is eliminated.But as Cathy O'Neil reveals in this urgent and necessary book, the opposite is true. The models being used today are opaque, unregulated, and uncontestable, even when they're wrong. Most troubling, they reinforce discrimination: If a poor student can't get a loan because a lending model deems him too risky (by virtue of his zip code), he's then cut off from the kind of education that could pull him out of poverty, and a vicious spiral ensues. Models are propping up the lucky and punishing the downtrodden, creating a "toxic cocktail for democracy." Welcome to the dark side of Big Data.Tracing the arc of a person's life, O'Neil exposes the black box models that shape our future, both as individuals and as a society. These "weapons of math destruction" score teachers and students, sort résumés, grant (or deny) loans, evaluate workers, target voters, set parole, and monitor our health.O'Neil calls on modelers to take more responsibility for their algorithms and on policy makers to regulate their use. But in the end, it's up to us to become more savvy about the models that govern our lives. This important book empowers us to ask the tough questions, uncover the truth, and demand change.- Longlist for National Book Award (Non-Fiction)- Goodreads, semi-finalist for the 2016 Goodreads Choice Awards (Science and Technology)- Kirkus, Best Books of 2016- New York Times, 100 Notable Books of 2016 (Non-Fiction)- The Guardian, Best Books of 2016- WBUR's "On Point," Best Books of 2016: Staff Picks- Boston Globe, Best Books of 2016, Non-Fiction

Marx, Freud, Proust, Einstein, Bernhardt and Kafka. Between the middle of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries a few dozen men and women changed the way we see the world.

Without Paul Ehrlich no chemotherapy. Without Siegfried Marcus no motor car.Without Rosalind Franklin genetic science would look very different. Without Fritz Haber there would not be enough food to sustain life on earth. These visionaries all have something in common - their Jewish origins and a gift for thinking outside the box.In 1847 the Jewish people made up less than 0.25% of the world's population, and yet they saw what others could not.
