According to Wikipedia: "The Tao Te Ching, Dao De Jing, or Daodejing, also simply referred to as the Laozi, is a Chinese classic text. According to tradition, it was written around the 6th century BC by the sage Laozi (or Lao Tzu, "Old Master"), a record-keeper at the Zhou Dynasty court, by whose name the text is known in China. The text's true authorship and date of composition or compilation are still debated, although the oldest excavated text dates back to the late 4th century BC. The text is fundamental to both philosophical and religious Taoism and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism, Confucianism and Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Daoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners have used the Daodejing as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, and is amongst the most translated works in world literature."

Frank Norris
¥8.09
Classic novel. According to Wikipedia: "Benjamin Franklin Norris, Jr. (March 5, 1870 – October 25, 1902) was an American novelist, during the Progressive Era, writing predominantly in the naturalist genre. His notable works include McTeague (1899), The Octopus: A California Story (1901), and The Pit (1903). Although he did not openly support socialism as a political system, his work nevertheless evinces a socialist mentality and influenced socialist/progressive writers such as Upton Sinclair. Like many of his contemporaries, he was profoundly influenced by the advent of Darwinism, and Thomas Henry Huxley's philosophical defense of it. Norris was particularly influenced by an optimistic strand of Darwinist philosophy taught by Joseph LeConte, whom Norris studied under while at the University of California, Berkeley. Through many of his novels, notably McTeague, runs a preoccupation with the notion of the civilized man overcoming the inner "brute," his animalistic tendencies. His peculiar, and often confused, brand of Social Darwinism also bears the influence of the early criminologist Cesare Lombroso and the French naturalist Emile Zola."

Apologia Pro Vita Sua
John Henry (Cardinal) Newman
¥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Apologia Pro Vita Sua (Latin: A defense of his life) is the classic defense by John Henry Newman of his religious opinions, published in 1864 in response to what he saw as an unwarranted attack on him, the Catholic priesthood, and Roman Catholic doctrine by Charles Kingsley. The work quickly became a bestseller and has remained in print to this day. The work was tremendously influential in turning public opinion for Newman, and in establishing him as one of the foremost exponents of Catholicism in England....Venerable John Henry Newman, CO (21 February 1801 – 11 August 1890) was a Roman Catholic priest and Cardinal who converted to Roman Catholicism from Anglicanism in October 1845. In early life, he was a major figure in the Oxford Movement to bring the Church of England back to its Catholic roots. Eventually his studies in history persuaded him to become a Roman Catholic. Both before and after becoming a Roman Catholic, he wrote a number of influential books, including Via Media, Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine (1845), Apologia Pro Vita Sua (1865-66) and the Grammar of Assent (1870)."

Ozon Corina

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
Carlos Pereira da Cruz
¥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.

Nathaniel Cruz már akkor belebolondult Alexis Woodville-be, amikor a lány a gimnáziumban egy szerencsétlen baleset folytán, fejen találta ?t egy focilabdával. A cserfes és csábos, v?r?s hajú lány szó szerint levette a fiút lábáról. Egyikük sem sejtette, hogy a spontán vonzalom életre szóló bilincset tesz majd a szívükre, de katasztrofális id?zítés és egy buta véletlen hosszú id?re elszakítja ?ket egymástól. ?vekkel kés?bb Nathaniel már a világhír? futballsztár csillogónak látszó életét éli, szívében azonban még mindig megszállottja Alexisnek. Véletlen találkozásukkor felszínre t?rnek a régóta eltitkolt vágyak, ám hiába tombol k?z?ttük a szenvedély, a féltékenység és birtokolni vágyás megint szétválasztja ?ket. Amikor útjaik kés?bb újra keresztezik egymást, hatalmas dilemma el?tt állnak. K?vetve a szívük vágyát, megadják-e magukat az oly régóta elnyomott szenvedélynek, vagy feláldozzák a szerelmet a felel?sségtudat oltárán. Ez Alexis és Nathaniel érzéki, szenvedélyes t?rténete. Remélem, annyira élvezitek majd olvasni, mint amennyire én az írást élveztem!
