Boris Johnson exploreaz?, ?n paginile acestui volum, din ce anume este constituit ?factorul Churchill“ – acea inteligen?? unic? a unuia dintre cei mai importan?i lideri ai secolului XX. Demont?nd miturile ?i prejudec??ile care au d?inuit al?turi de realitate, Johnson realizeaz? – cu inteligen?a ?i pasiunea caracteristice – portretul unui om al contradic?iilor, al curajului contagios, ?nzestrat cu o elocin?? uimitoare ?i cu o putere inegalabil? de a croi strategii. Curajos pe c?mpul de lupt?, Churchill a trebuit s? primeasc? ordin de la rege pentru a sta departe de focul b?t?liei ?n Ziua Z; a fost de acord cu bombardamentele strategice la scar? extins?, cu toate c? ura distrugerile produse de r?zboi ?i ?i dispre?uia pe politicienii care nu ?i tr?iser? ororile. A fost un jurnalist apreciat, un mare orator ?i a c??tigat Premiul Nobel pentru Literatur?. A fost faimos pentru capacitatea de a combina serile de dineuri oficiale cu nop?ile ?n care lua decizii cruciale pentru soarta r?zboiului. Viziunea sa progresist? asupra lumii l-a f?cut un pionier ?n dezvoltarea sistemului public de s?n?tate, de educa?ie ?i de asisten?? social?, de?i a r?mas un adept incorigibil al incorectitudinii politice. Factorul Churchill nu este o carte doar pe gustul pasiona?ilor de istorie. Este o lectur? esen?ial? pentru to?i cei care doresc s? afle din ce material anume e f?cut un mare lider.

Alina se afl? ?n al treilea an al terapiei personale. Ea ??i autoexamineaz? istoria rela?iilor de iubire: iubirile ei de copil, de adolescent?, iubirile de t?n?r? adult?. Este o istorie pe care o are ?nscris? ?n psihic ?i ?n corp. Analizanda se uit? la aceast? istorie ?i ?ncearc? s? o accepte a?a cum este ea; ?i, pentru c? se dovede?te greu de acceptat, de ?ndurat cu traumele ?i ne?mplinirile ei, aceast? istorie se cere rescris?. Din subiectul pasiv al propriilor scenarii de via??, al influen?elor puternice venite dinspre proprii p?rin?i, ea ?ncearc? ?i reu?e?te, ?n mare m?sur?, s? ??i rescrie istoria emo?ional?, s? ?i caute ?i s? ?i g?seasc? un sens personal, autentic. Din obiect al propriului trecut ?i al priva?iunilor impuse de el, Alina devine, ?ncet-?ncet, subiectul acestora.Procesul terapeutic prin care trece Alina, protagonista c?r?ii, ?n ?nt?lnirea cu psihoterapeutul — Pavel — este un proces fictiv, ?ns? povestea lui nu este mai pu?in realist?. A?a cum, ?n teatru, via?a este prezentat? p?n? la cap?t, ?i aici, dar ?ntr-o form? concentrat?, este prezentat? via?a unei rela?ii terapeutice de lung? durat? cu atmosfera, ritmul, nuan?ele ?i tensiunile ei.?

Prudhomme, Paul
¥130.51
Chef Paul Prudhomme, America's most innovative chef, invites you to take a Fork in the Road, a journey toward a different way of cooking. If your goal is to produce great-tasting, flavorful dishes that everyone will enjoy, yet are still good for you, then this is the cookbook for you!Chef Paul's new book offers not only recipes but a model for anyone who wants to modify his or her cooking to minimize the use of less healthful ingredients, yet retain the rich taste and texture that make them so delicious.For instance, he uses puréed dried beans and reduced fruit juices to create viscosity and enhance flavors. Both add an enormous amount of richness with virtually no fat. Chef Paul provides you with specific recipes to show you how these ingredients work, and encourages you to try them with all your favorite dishes.To make rich, flavorful sauces and gravies for great-tasting meat, poultry, or fish—without a drop of oil, butter, shortening, or other fat—he has developed recipes in which dry flour is browned before adding it to the dish. And he always tells you to start with a hot pan, so you can "bronze," or "caramelize," an ingredient without any added fat. These techniques will make all your food taste better—new recipes as well as your favorite standbys.Perhaps the most exciting portion of this book is the chapter on Magic Brightening Broths. These delicious broths are based upon defatted stocks, and get extra goodness from carefully balanced seasonings that enhance but don't overwhelm the flavors of foods cooked in them. Chef Paul envisions that once you've discovered howeasy and enjoyable Magic Brightening is, you and your friends and family will want to cook this way several times a month.From breads and breakfasts, through main and side dishes, to desserts and snacks, Chef Paul has streamlined his favorite recipes. He's taken out as much fat as possible, leaving the texture, the richness, and the taste for which he's famous. This is not a diet book, but one dedicated to healthful ways to cook.Some text and images that appeared in the print edition of this book are unavailable in the electronic edition due to rights reasons.

The Martin Beck Series: Books 1–4
Maj Sjowall
¥130.47
The first book in the classic Martin Beck detective series from the 1960s - the novels that shaped the future of Scandinavian crime writing. Hugely acclaimed, the Martin Beck series were the original Scandinavian crime novels and have inspired the writings of Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbo. Written in the 1960s, 10 books completed in 10 years, they are the work of Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo - a husband and wife team from Sweden. They follow the fortunes of the detective Martin Beck, whose enigmatic, taciturn character has inspired countless other policemen in crime fiction; without his creation Ian Rankin's John Rebus or Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander may never have been conceived. The novels can be read separately, but are best read in chronological order, so the reader can follow the characters' development and get drawn into the series as a whole. 'Roseanna' begins on a July afternoon, the body of a young woman is dredged from Sweden's beautiful Lake Vattern. Three months later, all that Police Inspector Martin Beck knows is that her name is Roseanna, that she came from Lincoln, Nebraska, and that she could have been strangled by any one of eighty-five people. With its authentically rendered settings and vividly realized characters, and its command over the intricately woven details of police detection, 'Roseanna' is a masterpiece of suspense and sadness.

Thompson, Joyce
¥130.22
In this fiercely candid and moving book, novelist Joyce Thompson recounts a difficult yet transforming period in her life. In words that will ring true to anyone in the "sandwich" generation, Thompson tells the story of her troubled marriage ending, her adjustment to single motherhood, finding new love, turning fifty, dealing with sick and dying parents, and somehow discovering a spiritual home in an ancient, earth-centered tradition.Along the way, she comes to terms with the blessings and specters of her own dysfunctional family. This includes her father, a distinguished judge and chronic alcoholic, and her tough, smart mother, a pioneering woman lawyer, who is slowly succumbing to Alzheimer's and whom Thompson helps to die gracefully, despite many traumatic and even ridiculous moments. But with Thompson's lyrical, personal, and evocative writing, she transforms what could have been a soap opera into a rich, moving, and funny story, full of hope.Thompson's novels are about understanding the human condition, and it's no surprise she focuses that gift on her own life and the lives of her family. Elegant, wise, and witty, Sailing My Shoe to Timbuktu, pulls no punches and is delightfully and compulsively readable.

《念念远山》是剑桥学者罗伯特·麦克法/伦“行走文学三部曲”的第/一部。 仅三个世纪前,山脉还被视作大自然的粗率造物、地球表皮上的“疖子”。人们普遍相信高山险坡上游荡着邪灵,山顶上则住着神灵——可千万别爬上山去。而如今,连珠峰山脊都变得拥挤,人们甘愿冒着生命危险登上山峰。三百年间,人们对山的恐惧如何转变成迷恋和向往? 罗伯特·麦克法/伦走出书斋,踏上危险的山径——从苏格兰凯恩戈姆冰川蚀刻的山谷,到阿尔卑斯积雪消融的山脊,再到天山山脉的冰斗,历经冻伤与岩崩,亲身感受高山世界偏僻与宁静、荒芜与惊奇、危险与希望交缠的诱惑。 在这趟通往冰封高山的旅途中,每一道岩石褶皱都诉说着久远到令人晕眩的地球历史,每一个如菩萨般坐在雪地里的遇难者都延续着一份迷恋高山的情感传统。在置身山峰的感官体验与登山者的探险叙事中,麦克法/伦走大山,也无限靠近我们炙热的心灵:山只是地理学上的偶然事物,它们不故意SHA人,也不刻意取悦人。我们凝望着、解读着和渴望着的山,并不是我们真正攀登的山。

随着中国经济的迅速增长,中国文化在世界范围的影响与日俱增,中华文明越来越受到全世界人民的重视。弘扬优秀的传统文化,是我们这一代人无可推卸的责任。如何把学术资源、教育资源和科学技术资源结合起来,在传播优秀的中国传统文化、继承伟大的民族精神、提高国人的文化品位、培养高尚的人文精神方面做出一些切切实实的工作,就成为我们这几年的共同想法。于是就有了编纂和出版《国学备览》的动议。   弘扬优秀的中华民族文化,重要的是接触国学原典。中国传统学术之所以被称之为“国学”,本身就是中华民族走向现代化过程中出现的一种特殊现象。在西方文化大规模传入中国之前,中国的学术只有“六艺”、“诸子”、“经学”、“汉学”、“宋学”、“儒学”、“佛学”、“理学”等称谓。鸦片战争之后,由于西学的出现,相对应的有了“中学”的概念;随后中国社会发生了巨变,文化信仰也发生了危机,才有了“国学”的概念。1906年章太炎在日本东京举办国学讲习会,并创办了《民报》。他在《民报》第七号所载的《国学讲习会序》中说:“夫国学者,国家所以成立之源泉也。   《国学备览》是一套中等规模的古籍丛书。该书经选了先秦至晚清二千多年中国文化史上具有代表性的名著81部,按传统的经、史、子、集四部分类法编排,涉及文学、艺术、历史、地理、科技、蒙学等,既有《大学》、《心经》等短篇名著,也有《史记》、《聊斋志异》等宏章巨制。全书所收均为善本全帙,并经海内外百名专家(庞朴、汤一介、白化文、冯其庸等)整理审阅,随文配有1500多幅相关插图,每部分均撰写了简明提要。

全mian梳理世界大国博弈历史,深入解析当前世界地缘政治热点,深度探究大国货币暗战 与人民币国际化新格局更优解。 《即将到来的地缘战争》(大局观版) “历史是在北纬20°与北纬60°之间创造出来的”一说有何依据?斯拜克曼为何在60年前就能准确预见中国的崛起?同为金砖国家,中国比巴西更有成为世界性大国的发展潜力,是地理位置决定的?中国在向中亚心脏地带施加影响的同时,对大陆边缘地带的东南亚和东北亚产生了怎样影响?为何说海洋是自由主义和西方民主扎根的自然条件?陆权代表苏联在与海权代表美国的终极对决中,为何败下阵来?崛起中的中国和印度格外推崇马汉的海权论是否受此启发?麦金德准确预见了北约与苏联的对抗以及苏联的解体?德国的中心地理位置及其内在文化态度将怎样决定欧洲的走向? 在本书中,卡普兰以地理为主线,通过地图导出地缘政治,并将地理作为手术刀,结合其毕生的观察、发现和相关理论来剖析国际关系和全球化中无法解释的冲突。同时,他将地理与历史完美融合,生动诠释地理如何塑造人类历史,并对当前世界地缘政治热点进行深入解析,预测未来全球事件的演化。通过考察各地方的气候、地势和所处地理位置,卡普兰回顾了世界历史上发生的热点事件,并将他的研究所得用以分析各地的危机,如欧洲、俄罗斯、中国、印度、土耳其、伊朗和中东,全mian地预测了欧亚大陆的下一次冲突周期。而zui为重要的是,卡普兰为我们展示了展示了应如何通过地图和人口学研究等工具,进一步解读各国的外交政策,从而找到更深层和更强大的方式来看待世界。 《美元陷阱》 美元,不得已的安全避风港。 历史上,美元在全球货币体系中的主导地位屡遭威胁,但结果总是有惊无险,美国得以继续挥霍“嚣张的特权”。今天,全世界的官方与私人投资者,仍在变本加厉地依赖美元计价的金融资产,也正是这种不可救药的依赖性,逐渐酝酿出美元陷阱的雏形。 本书回顾、分析了美元成为全球经济和货币体系核心地位的过程,并阐释了为什么在可预见的未来,美元作为避险货币、储备货币的霸权地位仍旧坚不可摧。此外,本书还披露了当代国际金融的关键问题,包括:新兴市场日益增长的影响力、货币战争、中美关系的复杂性以及国际货币基金组织等机构的作用,并为修复有缺陷的货币体系提供了新思路。
