Paisley Goes with Nothing: A Man's Guide to Style MAIN STREET

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The best shoes to dance in are sneakers with no tread left. Old ski lift tickets are not a fashion accessory. Nothing is "fun for the whole family" unless the parents are under ten. There's no such thing as classy luggage as long as you have to carry it. With an irresistible combination of sharp wit, shrewd insight, and great common sense, "Paisley Goes with Nothing offers men an invaluable arsenal of survival tactics for thriving in a modern world, including "Two Easy Pieces (Buying a Suit)," "Father Knew Zip (How to Shave)," "A Medium Is the Message--But So Is an Extra Large (What Your Wardrobe Says About You)," "Geeks Bearing Gifts (Buying Presents)," "House by You (Entertaining on Your Turf)," and dozens more that are as useful and enlightening as they are ingeniously, universally funny. An indispensable resource for every man (and a godsend for those in search of a perfect gift), it's society's last hope for keeping the word gentleman from becoming obsolete.

Anything Goes (The Hopkins Family Saga, Book 6) Headline Publishing Group

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

It's December 1963 when Billy Hopkins and his wife Laura arrive home in Manchester after five years in Africa. The world has changed beyond recognition: it's the swinging sixties, with headlines full of the Beatles and the pill, LSD and mini skirts. Billy's youngest son still believes in Santa Claus and while his daughter's reading Jackie, she's not even a teenager yet, so Billy's not too worried about the impact of modern society on his family. He's more concerned about the welfare of his increasingly forgetful father and about the daily challenges he faces as a college lecturer. When the four junior Hopkins start to choose their own, unexpected paths in life, though, Billy finds it harder than usual to see the funny side of things...

Little Freddie Goes to Heaven TRAFFORD PUB

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Little Freddie has been sick a long time. Because he has been so loving and kind to his family and friends, God lets him come right on into heaven. Little Freddie is greeted and escorted in by his own personal angel, Angelica. Angelica brings Little Freddie to meet God, someone Freddie has been waiting a long time to see. On the way, Little Freddie sees lots of beautiful things. He meets other angels and, from a distance, takes in a view of God's house. Once in God's house, Freddie is quickly embraced by the loving God. They give thanks for each other. God wants to reward Freddie for not only being a wonderful son but also for helping other sick children while he was in the hospital. So God moves back the angels, and Little Freddie gets his surprise. There waiting for him are some of his friends from that hospital and his grandmama. "We are no longer sick, and there is no more pain inside," they say. God then tells Little Freddie that he can go play with his friends and be with his grandmama. That suits Freddie just fine, but he asks God to please have his angel, Angelica, make one more wish come true. Little Freddie wants Angelica to please go back and tell his mom, dad, sister, brother, and his favorite aunt, Fannie Lou, that he is healthy and happy in heaven above and that, yes, the things his dad said of heaven are very, very true. So God sends Angelica back to deliver this message to Freddie's family. And as for Little Freddie, he cries and hurts no more, and he lives with God and the angels, who keep him safe forevermore.

There Goes Rhymin' Simon - Paul Simon (Płyta CD)

Książki & Multimedia > Muzyka

Opis - Jeżeli pierwszy solowy album Paula Simona `Paul Simon` był zaledwie zalążkiem fantastycznej kariery artysty po rozpadzie duetu Simon & Garfunkel, to na drugim wszystkie jego pomysły rozkwitają w imponującym stylu. Pierwszy singiel, hit # 2 Kodachrome nawiązywał stylem do czasów rock`n`rolla. Przejmujące Tenderness (z udziałem kwartetu wokalnego The Dixie Hummingbirds) to kompozycja stylizowana na muzykę soul i kontynuująca tradycję standardu Try A Little Tenderness, znanego choćby z nagrań Otisa Reddinga i Arethy Franklin, ale także Franka Sinatry i Roda Stewarta. Kontynuacją tych czarnych inspiracji jest nagranie Take Me to the Mardi Gras - hołd złożony muzyce Nowego Orleanu. Mistrzowska forma tego nagrania sprawia, że utwór - rozpoczynający się na głos i gitarę akustyczną - rozwija się do pełnego fajerwerku orkiestry jazzowej. Dodatkową atrakcją jest gościnny występ kaznodziei, Rev. Claude Jetera, wykonującego niezwykłą partie wokalną falsetem. Folkowy rodowód Paula Simona potwierdza piosenka Was A Sunny Day, nagrana w bliskiej, `górskiej` harmonii - chodzi oczywiście o Apallachy - z siostrami Roche (swego czasu studentkami Paula Simona na New York University, gdzie po rozpadzie duetu Simon & Garfunkel nauczał... po prostu pisania piosenek). Czasy duetu Simon & Garfunkel powracają w brzmieniu utworu Learn How To Fall (gitara i organy), natomiast kołysanka St. Judy`s Comet z podkreślonymi pogłosem akcentami fortepianu elektrycznego zapowiada brzmienie następnej płyty artysty.

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.

Family Violence in Japan Springer Verlag, Singapore

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book provides fresh sociological analyses on family violence in Japan. Aimed at an international audience, the authors adopt a life course perspective in presenting their research. Following a comprehensive overview of family violence in Japan in both historical and contemporary contexts, it then goes on to define the extent and causes of child abuse, intimate partner violence, filial violence, and elder abuse. In doing so, the book is the first of its kind to look at these different types of violence in Japanese families and simultaneously incorporate historical development of individuals and intergenerational factors. Furthermore, its reliance on the life course perspective enables readers to obtain a broader understanding of family violence in the country. Written by five Japanese family sociologists who have identified various major sociocultural characteristics that either induce or suppress family violence in Japan, it is a valuable resource not only to scholars and students of the topic, but also to those specializing in sociology, psychology, anthropology and comparative family studies around the globe.

Who Should Sing Ol' Man River? Oxford University Press Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In the mid 1920s, Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II wrote a song called "Ol' Man River" that combined the seriousness of a Negro spiritual with the crowd-pleasing power of a Broadway anthem. Inspired, according to Kern, by the voice of the African American singer Paul Robeson, "Ol' Man River" went on to great success in the Broadway musical Show Boat and became a signature song for Robeson, who turned the tune towards his own goals as an activist. But the story of "Ol' Man River" goes deeper than the curiosity of a song recorded by so many in so many different ways. For at the heart of Oscar Hammerstein's lyric is a clear-eyed vision of the black experience in American history. Anyone-black or white-who thought they should sing "Ol' Man River" has had to deal with the charged racial content of the song. Who Should Sing "Ol' Man River"? traces this aspect of "Ol' Man River's" course through American history, an at-times high-stakes journey where the African American struggle for dignity and equality came down to the lyrics of a popular song. However beyond Robeson and Show Boat, "Ol' Man River" also had a long and rich life in the world of popular music. An astonishing variety of singers and musicians from across the musical spectrum-from pop to jazz, opera to doo wop, rhythm and blues to gospel to reggae-all chose to perform or record it. Who Should Sing "Ol' Man River"?: The Lives of an American Song traces out the performance history of this remarkable song by listening closely to over two hundred recorded and filmed versions dating from the song's debut in 1927 to the present. Many famous pop singers made "Ol' Man River" a signature song; among them Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Judy Garland: white performers who took up a lyric told from the black perspective. Important jazz artists such as Bix Biederbecke, Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Count Basie, and Keith Jarrett all played it. Opera singers-black and white, male and female-took it up as well. And a slew of surprising names from the first decades of rock and roll also recorded this inescapable tune, among them Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, the Temptations, Cher, and Rod Stewart.

Eclipse of Man Perseus Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Tomorrow has never looked better. Breakthroughs in fields like genetic engineering and nanotechnology promise to give us unprecedented power to redesign our bodies and our world. Futurists and activists tell us that we are drawing ever closer to a day when we will be as smart as computers, will be able to link our minds telepathically, and will live for centuries--or maybe forever. The perfection of a "posthuman" future awaits us. Or so the story goes. In reality, the rush toward a posthuman destiny amounts to an ideology of human extinction, an ideology that sees little of value in humanity except the raw material for producing whatever might come next. In Eclipse of Man, Charles T. Rubin traces the intellectual origins of the movement to perfect and replace the human race. He shows how today's advocates of radical enhancement are--like their forebears--deeply dissatisfied with given human nature and fixated on grand visions of a future shaped by technological progress. Moreover, Rubin argues that this myopic vision of the future is not confined to charlatans and cheerleaders promoting this or that technology: it also runs through much of modern science and contemporary progressivism. By exploring and criticizing the dreams of post humanity, Rubin defends a more modest vision of the future, one that takes seriously both the limitations and the inherent dignity of our given nature.

My Name Is Lucy Barton Random House Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

No.1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE - A simple hospital visit becomes a portal to the tender relationship between mother and daughter in this extraordinary novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Olive Kitteridge and The Burgess Boys . NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST Look for Elizabeth Strout's highly anticipated new work of fiction, Anything Is Possible, which is available for pre-order now. Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn't spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy's childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy's life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable. Praise for My Name Is Lucy Barton "There is not a scintilla of sentimentality in this exquisite novel. Instead, in its careful words and vibrating silences, My Name Is Lucy Barton offers us a rare wealth of emotion, from darkest suffering to-'I was so happy. Oh, I was happy'-simple joy." -Claire Messud, The New York Times Book Review "Spectacular . . . Smart and cagey in every way. It is both a book of withholdings and a book of great openness and wisdom. . . . [Strout] is in supreme and magnificent command of this novel at all times." -Lily King, The Washington Post "A short novel about love, particularly the complicated love between mothers and daughters, but also simpler, more sudden bonds . . . It evokes these connections in a style so spare, so pure and so profound the book almost seems to be a kind of scripture or sutra, if a very down-to-earth and unpretentious one." -Marion Winik, Newsday "Potent with distilled emotion. Without a hint of self-pity, Strout captures the ache of loneliness we all feel sometimes." - Time "An aching, illuminating look at mother-daughter devotion." - People "A quiet, sublimely merciful contemporary novel about love, yearning, and resilience in a family damaged beyond words." - The Boston Globe "Sensitive, deceptively simple . . . It is Lucy's gentle honesty, complex relationship with her husband, and nuanced response to her mother's shortcomings that make this novel so subtly powerful. . . . [It's] more complex than it first appears, and all the more emotionally persuasive for it." - San Francisco Chronicle "Strout maps the complex terrain of human relationships by focusing on that which is often unspoken and only implied. . . . A powerful addition to Strout's body of work." - The Seattle Times "Impressionistic and haunting . . . [Strout] reminds us of the power of our stories-and our ability to transcend our troubled narratives." - Miami Herald "Writing of this quality comes from a commitment to listening, from a perfect attunement to the human condition, from an attention to reality so exact that it goes beyond a skill and becomes a virtue." -Hilary Mantel "Magnificent." -Ann Patchett
