I Never Metaphor I Didn't Like
¥88.56
The murals in restaurants are on a par with the food in museums. America is an enormous frosted cupcake in the middle of millions of starving people. Critics are like pigs at the pastry cart. Describing something by relating it to another thing is the essence of metaphorical thought. It is one of the oldest activities of humankind and one of the most impressive when done skillfully. Throughout history, many masters of metaphor have crafted observations that are so spectacular they have taken up a permanent residence in our minds. In I Never Metaphor I Didn't Like , quotation maven Dr. Mardy Grothe fixes his attention on the three superstars of figurative language analogies, metaphors, and similes. The result is an extraordinary compilation of nearly 2,000 feats of association that will entertain, educate, and occasionally inspire quotation lovers everywhere. In this intellectual smorgasbord, the author of Oxymoronica and Viva la Repartee explains figurative language in a refreshingly down-to-earth way before taking readers on a tour of history's greatest word pictures. In chapters on wit, love, sex, stage and screen, insults, politics, sports, and more, you will find quotations from Aristotle and Maya Angelou to George Washington and Oprah Winfrey.
A víz mélyén
¥79.95
A várost átszel? folyóból holtan húznak ki egy fiatal n?t. Néhány hónappal korábban egy sérülékeny tinédzser lány végezte ugyanott, ugyanígy. El?ttük évszázadokon át asszonyok és lányok hosszú sora lelte halálát a s?tét vízben, így a két friss tragédia régen eltemetett titkokat bolygat meg - és hoz felszínre.Az utolsó áldozat árván maradt, tizen?t éves lányának szembe kell néznie azzal, hogy félelmetes nagynénje lett a gondvisel?je, aki most kényszeredetten tér vissza oda, ahonnan annak idején elmenekült, és ahová szíve szerint soha nem tette volna be újra a lábát. A folyóparti ház eresztékei éjjelente hangosabban nyikorognak, a fal t?vében susogó víz kísérteties neszekkel t?lti meg az egyébként zavartalan csendet. A lány a vonaton cím? regényhez hasonlóan PAULA HAWKINS újabb t?rténete is megállíthatatlanul sodorja az olvasót a végkifejlet felé, bizonyítva, hogy az írón? nagy ismer?je a n?i léleknek és az emberi ?szt?n?knek. A lány a vonaton az elmúlt évek legnagyobb sikere volt a magyar és a nemzetk?zi k?nyvpiacon. A szerz? második thrillerére két évet kellett várni. De - ahogy az els? olvasók egybehangzóan állítják - megérte.

Inim? de piatr?

Via?a grea l-a ?nv??at pe Lucas Kendrick, Duce de Harndon, s?-?i p?streze o inim? de piatr? ?i s? nu-?i dezv?luie sentimentele. Respins de logodnic?, tr?dat de fratele lui, alege s? se dueleze cu acesta ?i aproape ?l ucide. De aceea, este nevoit s? fug? la Paris unde locuie?te timp de 10 ani. Aici ajunge cel mai c?utat burlac, un adev?rat dandy al vremii respective ?n societatea monden?. Dup? moartea fratelui, unchiul lui insist? s? se ?ntoarc? acas? pentru a prelua titlul de duce ?i s? se ocupe de proprit??ile familiei. Lucas este amuzat de sfatul de a se ?nsura c?t mai repede pentru a-i fi mai u?or s? ?in? ?n fr?u certurile din familie ?i s? aib? grij? de uria?a mo?tenire.

Iar asta pentru c? ?ntreaga lui via?? a fost un adev?rat crai, poate cel mai renumit din Londra, fiind martor la superficialitatea femeilor m?ritate care abia a?teptau s?-?i ?n?ele so?ii ne?tiutori chiar cu… el ?nsu?i.

A regény alapján készült sorozat november 3-tól a Netflix m?során. A Kanadába emigrált Grace Markot gyilkosságért ítélték el 1840-ben. ?llítólagos szeret?jével együtt kegyetlenül végeztek Grace munkaadójával és annak házvezet?n?jével. Véd?je Grace elmeállapotára hivatkozva eléri, hogy ne k?tél általi halálra, csupán életfogytiglanra ítéljék. Sokan vannak meggy?z?dve arról, hogy gonosz és ?rült teremtés, de ugyanennyien az ellenkez?jér?l is: ártatlan teremtés, aki a k?rülmények áldozata lett. Egy fiatal és felt?rekv? orvos elhatározza, hogy kideríti az igazságot, ezért hetente leül beszélgetni a lánnyal, aki egyre inkább megnyílik neki, ám azt állítja, a gyilkosságból semmire sem emlékszik… Margaret Atwood valós t?rténelmi eseményen alapuló regénye felkerült a Man Booker-díj shortlistjére, és 2017-ben tévésorozat készült bel?le.

Zilele aman?ilor

C?nd am primit invita?ia de a citi manuscrisul c?r?ii Corinei, am acceptat tem?tor. Sunt la o v?rst? c?nd ??i spui arogant c? ai citit cam tot ?i te ?ntrebi seniorial ce ar putea s? te mai surprind?. Ei bine, cartea Corinei. Care te surprinde prin toate locurile pe care le credeai securizate, impenetrabile. Te surprinde ?n primul r?nd pentru faptul c? refuz? f?r? efort scriitura feminin?, melancolic? ?i vag lamentabil?. Frazele sunt scurte ?i nu intr? b?t?nd la u??, ci tr?ntind-o de perete. Apoi, te surprinde tema predilect? a c?r?ii: amantl?curile, iubirile frugale, rela?iile interzise, tot tac?mul. Practic, Corina omoar? ?n pove?tile ei orice ipocrizie feminist? (chestie care mie mi-a mers la suflet), o ?ngroap? ad?nc ?i ?i pune capac. N-o s? omit sub nicio form? limbajul, care surprinde de asemenea. Corina folose?te limba rom?n? f?r? s? se fereasc? de extremele ei. Are curaj, ?are ou?“, cum s-ar spune. Nu c? ar fi singura, nu c? ar fi o raritate, dar a manipula cuvinte interzise ?ntr-un text literar, f?r? a-i strica savoarea, nu e la ?ndem?na oricui. R?m?ne ?ns? la final impresia general?, cea care conteaz? cel mai mult. Care e bun?, dac? nu foarte bun?. Cartea se cite?te u?or, e cinic?, e vie, are tot ce ?i trebuie pentru a deveni un succes. (?tefan Caraman)Corina Ozon vine dinspre jurnalism spre literatur?, cunosc?nd oamenii, cu talent. Scrie captivant, folosind ?n fraze c?te cuvinte chiar trebuie, f?r? floricele stilistice ?i volute descriptive ?n plus, care ar cre?te statistic durata de somn a popula?iei. ?Zilele aman?ilor“ e o carte pentru dezinhiba?i. N-o recomand pro?tilor si bigo?ilor. (Alexandru Petria)Aceasta este o carte de?teapt?. Iar vr?jitoria nu-i deloc exclus?. Te ?ine lipit de ea, nu te las? absolut deloc nici s? faci altceva ?i nici m?car s? te g?nde?ti la altceva. Nu po?i uza de niciun instrument fizic ori sufletesc pentru a i te sustrage. Iar dac? asta nu-i curat? fermec?tur?, atunci ce este? A, ?tiu. Literatur? de?teapt?. (Ana Barton)O lectur? care curge u?or, cu un limbaj direct ?i frust, perfect adaptat subiectului. Corina vorbe?te cu umor ?i amar, f?r? ocoli?uri, despre situa?ii de via?? verosimile, desprinse din cotidian. Aman?ii putem fi oricare dintre noi. (Petronela Rotar)

Discover ISO 9001:2015 Through Practical Examples
¥163.42
Author and experienced quality management consultant Carlos Pereira da Cruz has written this book with one goal in mind: to offer you a practical and straightforward way to adapt your quality management system to your business, while meeting the requirements of ISO 9001:2015. Discover ISO 9001:2015?Through Practical Examples?is primarily for beginners in quality management systems, and for people with moderate knowledge of ISO 9001. However, if you are an experienced quality practitioner, but are disappointed with bureaucratic side of the standard, this book will show you a practical and relevant method of applying ISO 9001 to your business rather instead of blindly following policies and procedures. The main focus of the book is author’s desire to show you a different approach to the QMS. As he says at the beginning of the book, “What I see too often is Quality Management Systems with too few or too many documents, but concentrated on listing tasks that people must perform. And people perform their tasks, and companies remain certified, but nothing else happens.” Rather than looking at the standard that way, da Cruz says, “This book is about how to build a Quality Management System from scratch without looking at ISO 9001; the standard will naturally come afterwards when we show the relationship between sound management practices and ISO 9001 clauses.” Even though this book is written to be short and simple, it has more than 50 case studies, charts, diagrams and tables to help you develop your own QMS. Some of them include: The ecosystem of interested parties around Altix Example of monitoring plan Flowchart of activities, objects, and participants Objectives produced from the main processes Risk evaluation matrix Risks, process and improvement project Da Cruz has written the book using plain English, which is easy to understand for beginners. Using practical examples to help you understand the relationship between your regular business operations and ISO 9001:2015, he shows you that you’re not just implementing the standard to prove compliance, you’re doing it to improve the business.
