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.

Liquid Cool is the action-packed and funny,?debut cyberpunk detective series!? It’s cyberpunk reimagined—science fiction meets the detective thriller in an ever-rainy world of colossal skyscrapers. Hovercars fly above in the dark, bustling skies and gray people walk below on the grimy, flashy streets of this “neon jungle.” Metropolis isn’t a bad place, but it isn’t a good one either. Uber-governments and megacorporations fight for control of the super-city, but so does crime. We were introduced to Liquid Cool, in the prequel short, These Mean Streets, Darkly. We met an average woman, Carol—hardworking and decent in every way—only to have her daughter kidnapped by the psycho cyborg Red Rabbit. Can Police Central find the girl in time—alive? And is it really another senseless act of random violence in the fifty-million-plus supercity?? This story continues…and there are so many more. For the first time, we meet Cruz, our private eye (and unlikely hero), in a supercity with a million victims and perpetrators. Welcome to the high-tech, low-life world of Liquid Cool.? But watch out for tech-tricksters, analog hustlers, and digital gangsters—psychos, samurais, and cyborgs aplenty—they may want your money, or your life, more than you do. Get Your Copy of LIQUID COOL?Right Now and Prepare to be Thrilled with Mystery, Action, and Laughs!?And don’t get shot by a laser-pistol-packing cyber-punk on your way to the digital store. FIVE STAR REVIEWS “Lots of shooting, lots of crazy maniacs, lots of action and fun!” “I loved this book. It takes place in the future, and what a weird future.” “A funny, intelligent (and sometimes crazy) main character…playing detective” “Cool and Smooth.” “I had a hard time putting this book down to do things like sleeping and eating.” Enjoy!

Pl?cerea de a citi Olive Kitteridge vine dintr-o identificare intens? a cititorului cu situa?ii, cu personaje nu icirc;ntotdeauna demne de admirat... Nu e nimic ieftin sau siropos icirc;n aceast? carte. (The New York Times Book Review) Amuzant?, r?ut?cioas? ?i plin? de remu?c?ri, doamna Kitteridge este o for??, un caracter autentic. Cacircnd nu e icircn scen?, icirci a?tept?m cu ner?bdare icircntoarcerea. Paginile c?r?ii se icirc;ntorc datorit? ei... (San Francisco Chronicle) Un portret r?v??itor ?i profund al oamenilor din Maine, tr?indu-?i vie?ile de suferin?? t?cut? icircmpletit? cu izbucniri de apropiere uman?... Aceast? culegere se cite?te u?or ?i e imposibil de uitat. (Publishers Weekly) Intuitiv?, profund empatic? ?i totu?i plin? de defecte, Olive este axa icircn jurul c?reia graviteaz? treisprezece povestiri complexe, profund umane, alc?tuind un veritabil roman.

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)

Let’s be realistic – it is human to make mistakes, so it’s impossible to have a system with no errors; it is, however, possible to have a system that improves itself and learns from its mistakes. Internal audits are a crucial part of such a system. In this book, Dejan Kosutic, an author, and experienced ISO consultant is giving away his practical know-how on ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 20000, ISO 22000, OHSAS 18001, ISO 13485, AS9100 and IATF 16949 internal audits. This book is written primarily for beginners in internal auditing and for people with moderate knowledge about internal audits. On the other hand, if you do have experience with internal audits, but you feel that you still have gaps in your knowledge, you’ll also find this book helpful. So, no matter if you are new or experienced in the field, this book gives you everything you will ever need to learn and more about internal audits. Inside you will find not just basic information about the internal audit and ISO 19011 but also information on how to create the internal audit checklist, how to write the internal audit report, what are the best technics for finding evidence during the audit, how to perform interviewing during the audit and much more. Kosutic uses real-life examples and plain English in order to explain everything that is necessary to completely understand how to perform an internal audit for all ISO management standards.

Enquanto imperador, sou importante em Roma; enquanto homem, sou igual a qualquer um no mundo. Marco Aurélio Meditaes é a única obra de Marco Aurélio que chegou até nós. Composta por doze livros, em forma de máximas, apresenta reflexes marcadas pelo Estoicismo. Marco Aurélio considerava-se um cidado do mundo — ou melhor, do Universo. Para ele, a igualdade e a fraternidade entre os homens obrigavam a uma ateno constante aos atos sociais, a nunca censurar os deuses nem os seres humanos e a aceitar os acontecimentos como a expresso simples da lei do Universo. Esta obra é o livro de um homem de ao, que procura a serenidade, indispensável à eficácia, mas também de um homem para o qual os atos humanos apenas possuem um valor profundo e duradouro se se enquadrarem na perspetiva do Todo do Universo e da comunidade de todos. Muito mais do que uma compilao de pensamentos filosóficos, Meditaes é um manual de comportamento perfeitamente atual, que apela à reflexo sobre como podemos melhorar o nosso modo de vida e o nosso relacionamento com os outros.

Você já disse “eu te amo”? Mas você disse com sinceridade? Ou apenas disse querendo obter algo? Ou para corresponder ao sentimento do outro?Neste conto, você vai conhecer Serginho, um cara que disse “eu te amo” para conseguir transar com a namorada. Ele só n?o sabia que essa mentira iria levá-lo a sofrer conseqüências nada agradáveis.

Chastity Blake discovered the hard way what she was: a modern-day Sandman. But things aren't looking up for Chastity. She is guarding a secret deep within her — her dark sand, or what Reverians call her Shadow. Shadow Casters are known for their dark dreams, the nightmares they create. If she's caught with dark sand, she may be subjected to harsh interrogation, even banished to the Oblivion with the other Shadow Casters... and that is SO not on her list. Will she be able to hide her darkness from the most powerful Somnium alive? How long can she outrace her destiny before true nature catches up with her? Shadow Casters is the follow-up of bestselling author Adrienne Woods' second series, Dream Casters.

El Principito habita un pequeísimo asteroide, que comparte con una flor caprichosa y tres volcanes. Pero tiene “problemas” con la flor y empieza a experimentar la soledad. Hasta que decide abandonar el planeta en busca de un amigo. Buscando esa amistad recorre varios planetas, habitados sucesivamente por un rey, un vanidoso, un borracho, un hombre de negocios, un farolero, un geógrafo… El concepto de “seriedad” que tienen estas “personas mayores” le deja perplejo y confuso. Prosiguiendo su búsqueda llega al planeta Tierra, pero, en su enorme extensión y vaciedad, siente más que nunca la soledad. Una serpiente le da su versión pesimista sobre los hombres y lo poco que se puede esperar de ellos. Tampoco el zorro contribuye a mejorar su opinión, pero en cambio le ensea el modo de hacerse amigos: hay que crear lazos, hay que dejarse “domesticar”. Y al final le regala su secreto: “Sólo se ve bien con el corazón. Lo esencial es invisible a los ojos”. De pronto el Principito se da cuenta de que su flor le ha “domesticado” y decide regresar a su planeta valiéndose de los medios expeditivos que le ofrece la serpiente. Y es entonces cuando entra en contacto con el aviador, también el hombre habrá encontrado un amigo… Cuando yo tenía seis aos vi en un libro sobre la selva virgen que se titulaba "Historias vividas", una magnífica lámina. Representaba una serpiente boa que se tragaba a una fiera. Esta es la copia del dibujo.En el libro se afirmaba: "La serpiente boa se traga su presa entera, sin masticarla. Luego ya no puede moverse y duerme durante los seis meses que dura su digestión". Reflexioné mucho en ese momento sobre las aventuras de la jungla y a mi vez logré trazar con un lápiz de colores mi primer dibujo. Mi dibujo número uno era de esta manera: Enseé mi obra de arte a las personas mayores y les pregunté si mi dibujo les daba miedo.-por qué habría de asustar un sombrero - me respondieron.Mi dibujo no representaba un sombrero. Representaba una serpiente boa que digiere un elefante. Dibujé entonces el interior de la serpiente boa a fin de que las personas mayores pudieran comprender. Siempre estas personas tienen necesidad de explicaciones. Mi dibujo número dos era así: Las personas mayores me aconsejaron abandonar el dibujo de serpientes boas, ya fueran abiertas o cerradas, y poner más interés en la geografía, la historia, el cálculo y la gramática. De esta manera a la edad de seis aos abandoné una magnífica carrera de pintor. Había quedado desilusionado por el fracaso de mis dibujos número uno y número dos. Las personas mayores nunca pueden comprender algo por sí solas y es muy aburrido para los nios tener que darles una y otra vez explicaciones.
