The Modern Scandinavian

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

hemes, Structures Plans in an Increasingly Popular Chess Opening Matthias Wahls's "Modernes Skandinavisch 1" was a huge success when it was published in Germany in 1997. Wahls#8217;s book contributed to the growing popularity of the Scandinavian (or Center Counter-) Defence as a solid weapon.  The Scandinavian is especially practical for black players who don#8217;t want to learn too much theory and who don#8217;t want to be dependent on White#8217;s choices. The Modern Scandinavian  is an updated and expanded translation of #8216;Modernes Skandinavisch 2#8217;, which appeared in 2006 and also became a bestseller. This second book focuses not on theoretical lines but on the structural ideas after the moves 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5. #8226; What are the basic ideas in the Scandinavian? #8226; How do pawn structures dictate plans of attack? #8226; Which tactical motifs can be expected in certain typical positions?This book features complete games with lots of smoothly written verbal explanations, making the material highly accessible for amateur players. Co-authors Karsten Müller and Hannes Langrockhave added a new theoretical appendix that provides  a condensed repertoire  for black players.The original edition of  The Modern Scandinavian  has acquired cult status among chess aficionados. Some have even confessed to have learned German in order to be able to read it! This is no longer necessary, and this new edition will stand for many years, since it is about structures, not about the latest fashions. Grandmaster  Matthias Wahls  was a German champion in 1996 and 1997. In his home country he has made a name for himself as a chess teacher. Grandmaster  Karsten Müller  has gained a great reputation as a author. His "Fundamental Chess Endings" (with Frank Lamprecht) won the British Chess Federation Book of the Year Award, and more recently he published "Bobby Fischer: The Career and Complete Games of the American World Champion". In 2007 Müller was voted "Chess Trainer of the Year" by the German Chess Federation. Hannes Langrock  is a successful International Master who in recent years has written many articles on openings. His first book, "The Modern Morra Gambit" appeared in 2006. Marshtower Chess Reviews: "It's an impressive work and it is clear that a lot of effort has been put in. Fans of 1.e4 d5 will find it required reading, but there is a lot more on offer than merely guiding the Scandinavian faithfull through their favourite opening; the middlegame wisdom imparted should be of interest to all practical players." Joe Petrolito, Australasian Chess Magazine: "Contains a concise repertoire for Black (..) very useful for players who are just taking up the defence (..) In all, the book contains an amazing amount of high-quality material, and is clearly a labour of love by the authors. It will be the definite book on this opening for a long time." Richard Vedder, Schakers.info: "The penultimate chapter consists of exercises, and the last chapter is a theoretical manual, suitable for quickly building up a repertoire." Klaus Kreuzer, Europa Rochade Magazine: "There is, without any exaggeration, no book nearly as good as this one (..) The 32-page Theoretical Appendix alone is probably more useful than many fat theory book!" Bill McGeary, ChessVille: "The authors take an approach that matches the spirit of the defense. Instead of separating material by move order or specific sequences, formations are used as refere nce breaks (..) a great way of focusing on the ideas for either side."

Surviving the 21st Century Springer International Publishing AG

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The book explores the central question facing humanity today: how can we best survive the ten great existential challenges that are now coming together to confront us? Besides describing these challenges from the latest scientific perspectives, it also outlines and integrates the solutions, both at global and individual level and concludes optimistically. This book brings together in one easy-to-read work the principal issues facing humanity. It is written for the two next generations who will have to deal with the compounding risks they inherit, and which flow from overpopulation, resource pressures and human nature.??The author examines ten intersecting areas of activity (mass extinction, resource depletion, WMD, climate change, universal toxicity, food crises, population and urban expansion, pandemic disease, dangerous new technologies and self-delusion) which pose manifest risks to civilization and, potentially, to our species' long-term future. This isn't a book just about problems. It is also about solutions. Every chapter concludes with clear conclusions and consensus advice on what needs to be done at global level -but it also empowers individuals with what they can do for themselves to make a difference. Unlike other books, it offers integrated solutions across the areas of greatest risk. It explains why Homo sapiens is no longer an appropriate name for our species, and what should be done about it.??

Seven Types of Atheism Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A highly readable, fascinating book that jerks the debate on religion versus atheism right out of its crusted rut into the light of serious intellectual scrutiny' ObserverA meditation on the importance of atheism in the modern world - and its inadequacies and contradictions - by one of Britain's leading philosophers'When you explore older atheisms, you will find some of your firmest convictions - secular or religious - are highly questionable. If this prospect disturbs you, what you are looking for may be freedom from thought.'For a generation now, public debate has been corroded by a narrow derision of religion in the name of an often very vaguely understood 'science'. John Gray's stimulating and extremely enjoyable new book describes the rich, complex world of the atheist tradition, a tradition which he sees as in many ways as rich as that of religion itself, as well as being deeply intertwined with what is so often crudely viewed as its 'opposite'.The result is a book that sheds an extraordinary and varied light on what it is to be human and on the thinkers who have, at different times and places, battled to understand this issue.

Realistic Evaluation SAGE Publications Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Realistic Evaluation shows how program evaluation needs to be, and can be bettered. It presents a profound yet highly readable critique of current evaluation practice, and goes on to introduce a 'manifesto' and 'handbook' for a fresh approach. The main body of this book is devoted to the articulation of a new evaluation paradigm, which promises greater validity and utility from the findings of evaluation studies. The authors call this new approach 'realistic evaluation'. The name reflects the paradigm's foundation in scientific realist philosophy, its commitment to the idea that programmes deal with real problems rather than mere social constructions, and its primary intention, which is to inform realistic developments in policy making that benefit programme participants and the public. Ray Pawson and Nicholas Tilley argue with passion that scientific evaluation requires a careful blend of theory and method, quality and quantity, ambition and realism. The book offers a complete blueprint for evaluation activities, running from design to data collection and analysis to the cumulation of findings across programmes and onto the realization of research into policy.The argument is developed using practical examples throughout and is grounded in the major fields of programme evaluation.This book will be essential reading for all those involved in the evaluation process especially those researchers, students and practitioners in the core disciplines of sociology, social policy, criminology, health and education. 'This book is a must for those engaged in the field, providing a fully illustrated text on evaluation with numerous examples from the criminal justice system. Unusually, it offers something for the academic, practitioner and student alike. I found Pawson and Tilley's latest work on evaluation an enjoyable and informative read. For myself their "realistic evaluation" clarified and formalised a jumbled set of ideas I had already been developing. Although not everyone will agree with the methodology proposed by the authors, this book is a valuable read as it will cause most of us at least to review our methodological stance' - International Journal of Police Science and Management 'This is an engaging book with a strong sense of voice and communicative task. The voice is sometimes strident, but always clear.Its communicative qualities are evident equally in its structure: lots of signposting for the reader within and across chapters' - Language Teaching Research 'This provocative, elegant and highly insightful book focuses on the effective incorporation of actual practice into the formulation of evaluation methodology.What a pleasure to read sentences like: "The research act involves "learning" a stakeholder's theories, formalizing them, and "teaching" them back to that informant who is then in a position to comment upon, clarify and further refine the key ideas". Pawson and Tilley have given us a wise, witty and persuasive account of how real practitioner experience might be encouraged to intrude on (and modify) researchers' concepts about program processes and outcomes. This holds important promise for achieving something that is devoutly to be wished: closer interaction among at least some researchers and some policy makers' - Eleanor Chelimsky, Past-President of the American Evaluation Association 'This is a sustained methodological argument by two wordly-wise social scientists.Unashamedly intellectual, theoretically ambitious yet with a clear but bounded conception of evaluation. It is articulate, occasionally eloquent and always iconoclastic, whilst eschewing "paradigm wars". The Pawson and Tilley "realist" call to arms threatens to take no prisoners among experimentalists, constructivists or pluralists.It is the kind of book that clarifies your thoughts, even when you disagree with everything they say' - Elliot Stern, The Tavistock Institute

God's Shining Forth Pickwick Publications

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

God's Shining Forth offers a theological presentation of divine light in which the leading motif is the doctrine of the Trinity. More precisely, this study is organized around a double trinitarian theme: God is light in himself, and from himself God is radiant in relation to human creatures. This double affirmation is expounded by considering its extensions in the work of God's grace, in ecclesiology, and in the nature of theological intelligence. The chosen conversation partners in this study are some of the leading pro-Nicene trinitarian theologians of the fourth century, plus John Calvin, Karl Barth, and a selection of contemporary authors. Andrew Hay argues that the scriptural statement ""God is light"" is best understood as a confession of the eternal, fully realized life of the triune God in its wholly gratuitous electing, reconciling, and illuminating human creatures in the darkness of sin and death. FOR BACK COVER: ""Through a careful assessment of key biblical and traditional sources, Hay divulges the relevance of the 'light' to current theological questions, opening doors for the recovery of this important concept. A valuable and commendable theological enterprise!"" --Lydia Schumacher, King's College London   ""Students of almost any Christian discipline will be rewarded for time spent in this penetrating study that cannot but leave one humbled, hopeful, worshipful, and praying. It models what theology ought to be."" --Don J. Payne, Denver Seminary   ""God's Shining Forth is a very remarkable book. It stands firmly in the tradition of Protestant orthodoxy and demonstrates its richness. . . . In all this [Hay] manifests deep and charitable learning. The central theme--God's radiant shining forth as light--develops a central confession of the Nicene Creed, of Jesus Christ as 'Light from Light.' The theme of light is also central to the tradition of Eastern Orthodoxy, as Hay is well aware, so that this book is very much an ecumenical challenge. . . . This is a timely and powerful book."" --Andrew Louth, Durham University FOR FRONT MATTER: ""Throughout the early history of the Christian church, light remained a popular motif for explaining God's nature and his work in the world and especially to redeem humanity from the darkness of sin. In contemporary theology, however, the rich resources of this motif have been under-explored. Through a careful assessment of key biblical and traditional sources, Hay divulges the relevance of the 'light' to current theological questions, opening doors for the recovery of this important concept. A valuable and commendable theological enterprise!"" --Lydia Schumacher, Senior Research Fellow, Department of Theology and Religious Studies, King's College London   ""How for so long have I missed the significance of 'light' as an interpretive catalyst throughout Scripture and theology? Andrew Hay's rigorous study offers chastening and enlivening implications for themes such as the nature of God, ecclesiology, mission, and theological method. Students of almost any Christian discipline will be rewarded for time spent in this penetrating study that cannot but leave one humbled, hopeful, worshipful, and praying. It models what theology ought to be."" --Don J. Payne, PhD, Associate Professor of Theology and Christian Formation, Chair, Division of Christian Thought, Denver Seminary   ""God's Shining Forth is a very remarkable book. It stands firmly in the tradition of Protestant orthodoxy and demonstrates its richness, drawing on the fathers and Western scholasticism, as well as the magisterial reformers, Luther and Calvin, and the great Protestant scholastics, scarcely known nowadays, even by name, as well as Jonathan Edwards, and more recent Prote

Front Office Manual Palgrave Macmillan

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Can you describe the rules for settling foreign exchange in Jordan? What is strange about the Australian swap market? What are IMM dates, and why do credit derivatives abuse them? Financial markets are exceedingly complex, often to their own detriment. The building blocks of finance are quite simple, however. Complexity arises when these building blocks are traded, combined, and modeled using a myriad of conventions, and using market knowledge which is obscure and hard for outsiders to discover. The Front Office Manual is a practical introduction to the front office, guiding readers through the functions and financial instruments commonly encountered in an investment banking business and importantly, how they work and are implemented in practice. The book begins with a guided tour of the front office, and of how a trade, the life-blood of all investment banks, actually works from inception, through its mid life-cycle events through to termination. The book also introduces the various market participants - investors, hedge funds, banks and asset managers to name but a few - with whom the front office interacts.Finally, the book describes the wide range of financial products used in trading and structuring, providing detail on the products themselves and the techniques needed to produce prices, estimate risk, and produce meaningful analysis. Throughout the book, the focus is on practical implementation, and 'how things are actually done in a banking environment', making this an invaluable working manual for newcomers to the industry, and those looking to move from a middle or back office function, or a different part of the financial community, to the investment banking front office.

Oikos: God's Big Word for a Small Planet Cascade Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

How you spend your time and money controls what happens on this planet . . . Planet Earth and its people are in danger. We face ongoing economic and ecological crises. These will deepen unless all of God's people begin to act as one global community. Natural resources are diminishing and the economic world order is changing. We cannot go on living as though we can call up another planet. Change is needed now and this book addresses that.   The biblical vision of the world as oikos, meaning household, is God's challenge to all people about the way we live now--and in the future. Oikos affirms the need for reconciliation and peace between faiths and nations and should determine our economic practices and how we care for the planet.   In this timely and challenging book is a renewed call to follow the Maker's instructions. Whether it is 9/11, Chernobyl, or the 2008 financial crash, that call for change is repeating itself. This book not only explains why we need to change but also provides practical advocacy of how you can help to achieve it. ""More than ever, the world today needs a liberation theology that liberates theology itself from the knots in which it has been tied by human history. In Oikos, Andrew Francis contributes to such an approach. He does so in a manner that is unusually well integrated across the triune fields of social, environmental, and religious life that constitute the 'eco,' or neighborhood, that is our human home."" --Alastair McIntosh, author of Soil and Soul and Poacher's Pilgrimage ""Andrew Francis challenges us to consider what it means to live authentically as members of God's beautiful household--loving every member of our extended family and caring for our precious dwelling place. He helps us envision a divinely inspired economy, ecology, and ecumeny. How can we find this pearl of great value? This book provides a map that shows the way. This is Andrew Francis's generous gift to us."" --Stuart Masters, Senior Programme Leader, Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre, UK Andrew Francis is a UK-based writer, poet, and community theologian who leads courses and retreats. A former artist, potter, and pastor, he speaks at conferences, festivals, and to congregations, and is a community gardener and joyful cook. He is the author of What in God's Name are You Eating?

Snows of Kilimanjaro - Ernest Hemingway

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest peak in Africa, rising 19,340 feet above the surrounding plains. For hundreds of years it has been called the "shining mountain" by local people. They gave it this name because the top is covered with glittering glacier ice and snow. It is one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. In recent decades local people and tourists have noticed that there is less and less ice and snow on the mountain each year. Most scientists believe that the glaciers are disappearing because of changes in the weather of eastern Africa, and because of human actions. How is the ice disappearing? Who will be affected by the loss of the glaciers? What can you do to help? These questions are answered in the pages of this book.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A lifelong Peruvian shaman and curandero (healer) provides a rare, in-depth look into the world of Ayahuasca, a special medicine used in healing ceremonies by Indigenous South Americans for thousands of years that is taking the world by storm.A mysterious and powerful plant medicine with curative powers that is drunk as a "tea" during a sacred ceremony, Ayahuasca has been known to change people's lives dramatically. But what was once a healing experience practiced only by Indigenous South Americans-and sought out by the adventurous few-has, in the past fifty years, become increasingly popular around the world. Jorge Araoz, a Peruvian curandero known by his shamanic name-Hachumak-has been practicing Ayahuasca ceremonies in his compound in the Amazon for twenty-five years as well as traveling the world as a healer and educator. In this remarkable book, he shares his secrets to broaden our understanding of this powerful medicine and protect it from misuse and exploitation. Whether you are curious or skeptical, you will gain a deeper understanding of what shamanism is and how and why it works, as well as its possibilities and limitations. In Secrets of a Shaman, Hachumak reveals his own history of learning to become a shaman, explaining how a traditional Ayahuasca ceremony unfolds when run by an experienced curandero, and describing in detail what to expect-both physically and psychologically-while under the influence of the sacred plants. Open minds who have embraced Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind and the works of Roshi Joan Halifax, as well as those interested in spirituality and alternative healing, will be mesmerized by this unique and fascinating book that presents aspects of shamanism never before revealed.
