Totul e repetat p?n? ?n cel mai mic detaliu. Secund? cu secund?. Fiecare mi?care e atent studiat?. Nu va fi niciun martor care s? poat? reproduce exact ce s-a ?nt?mplat. Niciun poli?ist nu va g?si vreo pist? care s? duc? la f?pta?i. Av?nd la baz? o poveste adev?rat?, Made in Sweden e un roman cu o intrig? bine condus? despre o band? de infractori neobi?nui?i. Dar este ?i o poveste despre familie, despre dragostea fr??easc? ?i rela?ia complicat? dintre ta?i ?i fii.

Necesitatea acestei carti s-a impus in campul istoriografiei contemporane ca un raspuns ce se cerea stringent intr-un moment in care istoriografia in ansamblul ei a intrat intr-un serios impas girat si incurajat de predominanta agresiva si interferenta unor scoli si curente inconsistente, care de care mai zgomotoase, mai belicoase, mai ?originale“, concomitent cu intensificarea presiunii factorului politic (guverne, parlamente, tribunale, ong-uri etc).Tematica lucrarii o constituie evenimentele care au tulburat intreaga lume in perioada celui de-al Doilea Razboi Mondial.Studiile din aceasta carte au aparut sub semnatura celor mai prestigiosi istorici ai neamului nostru din aceasta perioada: acad. Dan Berindei, acad. Florin Constantiniu, prof. univ. dr. Gh. Buzatu (coordonatorul editiei), Stela Cheptea si multi altii.

Trei fo?ti ofi?eri CIA, autorit??i interna?ionale ?n detectarea disimul?rii, v? ofer? un set de tehnici accesibile pentru a afla dac? vorbitorul din fa?a voastr? spune sau nu adev?rul. Fie c? realiza?i un interviu de angajare sau o anchet? judiciar?, fie c? vre?i s? afla?i dac? adolescentul vostru a consumat droguri ori dac? partenerul v? ?n?al?, ave?i acum la dispozi?ie un arsenal de ?ntreb?ri ?i tehnici de interpretare care ?i-au dovedit eficien?a chiar ?i ?n fa?a celor mai versa?i spioni ?i terori?ti. Baz?ndu-se pe analize complexe ale unor anchete de contraspionaj sau ale unor interviuri televizate cu politicieni pref?cu?i, cartea v? ?nva?? s? pune?i cele mai percutante ?ntreb?ri ?i s? identifica?i minciuna pornind de la semnele ei verbale (ezit?ri, generaliz?ri, apelul la divinitate) ?i nonverbale (mutarea centrului de sprijin, acoperirea fe?ei cu palma etc.). ?Arta ?n?el?ciunii este tema principal? a acestei c?r?i, care se adreseaz? unui spectru larg de speciali?ti: psihologi, avoca?i, judec?tori, procurori, poli?i?ti, investigatori, oameni de afaceri, oameni de v?nz?ri etc.“ – Ion Duvac, fondator al Psychological Profiler Academy

Simona Drgan are fora de a supune textele de autoritate asupra crora se apleac unei lecturi personale, “vede“ ideile n intricaia lor originar, le restructureaz n conformitate cu propriul ei scenariu. in sa apreciez faptul c, n ciuda tematicii sale, lucrarea de fa nu este arid, nu sufer (dect n proporii acceptabile) de acea placiditate stilistic, inevitabil analizelor teoretice. Capacitatea de sintez, spiritul critic, precizia terminologic, luciditatea i supleea, calmul operator, toate acestea atest o cert vocaie teoretic“. (Mircea Martin)Cum se ntmpl cnd o ecuaie care a umilit cerbicia multor duzini de matematicieni i afl mintea capabil s-i dea de capt, mprtim n cazul de fa bucuria unei revelaii: pare ca Foucault i consorii, cei ce n loc de scrieri i texte au inventat uzul sofisticat al scriiturii i discursului, au ntlnit n autoarea de fa un autentic partener de dialog. Avem a face cu o lucrare fr caracter compilativ, demonstrnd o amprent personal, o anumit prospeime a observaiei directe, un soi de entuziasm agreabil al dezbaterii de idei, care se transmite i cititorului, smulgndu-l reflexelor lui sceptice ori obosite“. (Paul Cornea)n opinia mea, un merit major al Simonei Drgan este acela de a reui, ntr-o manier indubitabil personal, sa exprime, cu o elegan a claritii ce se remarc de la prima la ultima pagin a lucrrii, unele dintre cele mai complicate, ca sa nu spunem “stufoase“, idei formulate vreodat n perimetrul tiinelor filologice“.

Inima te ?n?eap?, stomacul devine rebel, urechile ?iuie, tremuri de furie sau de nervi. Emo?iile clocotesc ?i e?ti ve?nic stresat. Pe ne?tiute, organismul se fr?nge sub aceast? presiune: apar palpita?iile, respiri mai greu, transpiri mai des ?i acuzi tulbur?ri gastrointestinale. Evit?nd capcana explica?iilor simpliste, de tipul ?bolile de inim? sunt efectul ambi?iei ?i agita?iei", cartea de fa?? prezint? un model complex, bio-psiho-social, ?n care stresul emo?ional este v?zut nu doar ca factor de ?mboln?vire sau agravare a bolii, dar ?i ca efect adesea ignorat al afec?iunii somatice. Organizat pe diverse grupe de organe (inima, pielea, organele genitale, vocea, aparatul locomotor etc.), volumul ofer? clarific?rile medicale ?i psihologice necesare, dar ?i m?suri terapeutice eficiente – de la procedee de relaxare ?i somatoterapie la tehnici cognitiv-comportamentele pentru re?ncadrarea bolii, reintegrarea la locul de munc? ?i mai buna gestionare a emo?iilor. Cartea se adreseaz? at?t publicului larg (bolnavi ?i apar?in?tori), c?t ?i medicilor ?i psihologilor clinicieni.

Rstimp de douzeci de ani, sub egida acestui prestigios Club de Dialog – Ideea European – au fost organizate numeroase dezbateri, turnee, lecturi publice, conferine, ntruniri, simpozioane, att n ar, ct i peste hotare.

Hogyan lesz a bácskai f?ldesúr fiából a cigányok bárója, hogyan találja meg az apja által elrejtett mérhetetlen kincsen kívül a boldogságot is egy gy?ny?r? t?r?k lány oldalán? – ezt meséli el Jókai ebben a kisregényében, amelyet a bel?le készült operett tett világhír?vé.

Маг?я Анджея Сапковського — у його вм?нн? з л?ризмом ? сарказмом створити уявний св?т, кожен з мешканц?в якого, кожне м?сце ? кожна под?я наст?льки нагадують нам св?т реальний, сучасний, що в?д?рватися в?д книжок неможливо. Дуже давно, коли людська раса т?льки обживала ворожий св?т, а маги у сво?х вежах займалися лише високою наукою чар?вництва, було створено г?льд?ю в?дьмак?в — рем?сник?в в?д маг??, яких навчали вбивати темн? породження потойб?ччя: в??в ? в?ппер?в, мантикор ? гул?в, грифон?в ? брукс-вамп?риць. Але з часом страшних почвар меншало, меншало й тих, хто мусив захищати в?д них людей, — ? дедал? част?ше в?дьмакам у спину лет?ли з-за паркан?в прокльони та кам?ння. В?д Яруги до Драконячих г?р мандру? один з останн?х в?дьмак?в — ?еральт ?з Р?в??, зустр?чаючи людей та ?стот, як? чимось дуже нагадують персонаж?в в?домих казок, та намагаючись зрозум?ти, чи залишилося у ньому самому хоч щось в?д людини, чи в?н — т?льки додаток до двох сво?х меч?в: звичайного зал?зного та в?дьмачого, з карбованим рук?в’ям та ср?бним клинком, який колись стане для нього мечем призначення… Mag?ja Andzheja Sapkovs'kogo — u jogo vm?nn? z l?rizmom ? sarkazmom stvoriti ujavnij sv?t, kozhen z meshkanc?v jakogo, kozhne m?sce ? kozhna pod?ja nast?l'ki nagadujut' nam sv?t real'nij, suchasnij, shho v?d?rvatisja v?d knizhok nemozhlivo.

The Glock series of handguns represents one of the greatest steps forward in pistol design since the introduction of the Colt M1911. Inspired by the Austrian Army’s 1980 request for a new sidearm, the Glock Ges.m.b.H. company set to work designing and developing a revolutionary new weapon that combined reliability, firepower, and the latest in material technology. Within two years it had been adopted by the Austrian Army, but such were its qualities that within a decade the handgun was a dominant presence in the global military, law enforcement, and civilian markets. More than 2.5 million Glocks have been sold to date, to more than 50 nations. Glock: The World’s Handgun follows the evolution of the Glock handgun from concept to market leader, and explains each of the many variants and calibers, starting with the original Glock 17 and working through to the latest fourth generation models, including the 9mm Model 19, .40 caliber Model 22., and subcompact Model 26. Illustrated with more than 200 artworks and photographs, Glock: The World’s Handgun is an expertly written account of one of the most influential handguns in the world today.

Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and Tarawa are legendary names on the US Marines’ roll of honour, a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of Marines who answered the call to arms following the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Growing to a peak of almost half a million men in 1945, at the beginning of the war the Marine Corps was a small expeditionary force with outdated equipment and an unproven new mission – amphibious assault. The Marines in World War II charts the combat history of the Marines from Wake Island to Okinawa, covering every major battle in between: Guadalcanal, Kwajalein Atoll, Bougainville, Saipan, Guam, and Peleliu, to name just a few. In addition to chronicling these hard-fought battles, the book also examines the important role played by Navajo code talkers, the development of Marine Corps aviation, the little-known role of Marines in the European theatre, and the story behind the iconic “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima” photograph. Today, the Marines are best remembered as the gritty, determined combat force that matured rapidly, learned hard lessons, took on the committed defenders of the Empire of Japan, crossed the Pacific Ocean island by island, and fought, bled, died – and won.

The struggle for naval supremacy and the naval arms race inspired by HMS Dreadnought may have captured the headlines, but the opening stages of the naval war were dominated by the threat from German cruisers stationed outside European waters, until they were hunted down and sunk by the Royal Navy, notably at the Battle of the Falkland Islands in 1914. Germany switched its focus to the U-boat, seeing it as a weapon capable of winning the war by starving Britain into surrender. Unrestricted submarine warfare led to the sinking of millions of tons of shipping, but it would also force the USA to enter the war on the Allied side in 1917. In the Mediterranean, the French fleet took the lead, while Austria-Hungary supported German actions. The Allied attempt in 1915 to use maritime power to break the strategic deadlock with an amphibious operation in the Dardanelles ultimately failed, although Allied sea power helped sustain the successful campaigns against the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East. What would prove to be the decisive naval engagement of the war took place in 1916 at the Battle of Jutland. Whilst the clash itself was inconclusive, the German High Seas Fleet would be all but confined to port for the rest of the war, handing the initiative to the Royal Navy. The resultant command of the seas allowed the Allies to carry fresh American armies and much-needed supplies to Europe in 1917. However, victory for the Allies was ultimately delivered by the naval economic blockade. By preventing the import of war materials and food, the fighting power and morale of the German armed forces was weakened. It was the mutiny of the High Seas Fleet in October 1918 that prompted the German Revolution and the subsequent abdication of the Kaiser. With the aid of over 300 photographs, complemented by full-colour maps, Naval Warfare provides a detailed guide to the background and conduct of World War I naval operations, describing the struggle to win control of the high seas around the globe.

Introduction to Secrets: A Story of Addiction, Grief ＆amp; Healing ? Highly educated individuals with doctorates publish papers full of information, facts, and figures, explaining reasons for addiction. It is often good information extensively researched and properly cited. I do not have a Ph.D. or a doctorate. I am simply one who loves to teach, write, and more importantly, a mom who loves her family. I majored in motherhood. I minored in English. ? Sadly, I lost something most dear to my heart, my daughter’s voice. I only hear her voice as echoes in my mind, and as I read her journals. Her journals are full of her—her voice, worries, goals, sadness, hopes, desires, disappointments, happiness and love. Her writing identified her feelings, but they do not clearly define her as a person because her life was so much more. How to define, articulate her essence, her multi-dimensional personality? ??????????? In writing this story, I used words and prose that allow the reader to peer into the looking glass, perhaps to see beyond themselves to what lurks in the background of the human soul. How special each of us really is. We all deserve to be loved and to be recognized for the good we do, for the difference we make by just being. ? The writing of this story has been incredibly difficult. I was told that I was terribly hard on myself. Well, the truth is not always pretty. But accepting the truth as a means to better understand one’s environment and to move forward can be healing. It is not easy. Healing takes time. It can be painful. It is often long and arduous. Sometimes, the nearly healed wound is reinjured, the scab is torn loose, exposing the tender flesh beneath. It may ooze again for a time, but then the healing begins again. Grief can be like that. A year has passed; a year of grief, healing, learning, better understanding addiction. ? The road leading to addiction and the reasons one succumbs to substance use disorder is long and winding. Addiction is complex and those who struggle with it usually face other mental health challenges too. They struggle with loss, loneliness, pain, and emptiness. They long for fulfillment. They feel misunderstood, misjudged, stigmatized, unloved. These voids must be filled. The human spirit demands it. ? Society is quick to formulate judgments toward those struggling with addiction. However, is addiction a choice? Is mental illness a choice? Everyone’s story is different. I can only share mine. The effects of addiction ripple out, washing over everyone in some manner or form. Like many, I originally thought substance use was a choice, a deficit in one’s moral code, a weakness that one should be able to control. Why must tragedy occur to inspire illumination? ? As I began to write, my inner eye became focused, intent on rediscovering Sarah. The Sarah I knew as a child had long ago morphed into an adult I did not recognize or understand. I blamed myself. Where did I go wrong? In how many ways did we fail her as her parents? I wanted to understand. Will sharing my story allow others to more easily identify the symptoms of addiction and to recognize addiction as a disease? I hope so. That is why I am breaking the silence, using Sarah’s voice, as well as my own with a clear objective: To de-stigmatize addiction. ? Can we work towards removing the fear and the terrifying stigmatization attached to addiction and try something different? Let us direct positive energies toward these struggling souls. Rather than projecting fear and judgment, what would happen if society projected understanding, empathy, compassion, and acceptance? Acceptance that they have an illness, not just addiction, but often, buried beneath the surface, acute sadness, and unresolved conflict. ? As society begins to remove the stigma of addiction, boundaries to seeking recovery will lessen, improving the odds of recovery, decreasing the risk of death by overdose. Sarah’s death must not be an ending—let it be a beginning towards understanding, acceptance, and empathy.

Ca antidot la nregimentare i extremism, Fromm mizeaz pe contientizarea resorturilor existenei noastre sociale, proces care ne poate face mai maturi la nivel afectiv i mai autonomi n gndire. Fuga de libertate apare atunci cnd eul se dovedete prea slab - sau prea slbit - pentru a-i mai asuma rspunderea propriilor alegeri, renunnd ca atare la puterea de decizie.
