Robert Moore is a mill owner noted for apparent ruthlessness toward his employees. He has laid off many of them, apparently indifferent to their resulting poverty. But in fact he has no choice, since the mill is deep in debt. The mill was inefficiently run by his late father and is already mortgaged. His elder brother became a private tutor, leaving Robert to restore the mill to profitability. He is determined to restore his family's honour and fortune.

Dougal and Jaikie set off travelling the world, but first they must visit Mr Craw and his Castle Gay fully of mysterious characters.

On Liberty is a philosophical work outlining Mill's ethical system of utilitarianism to society and the state. Mill attempts to establish standards for the relationship between authority and liberty. He emphasizes the importance of individuality which he conceived as a prerequisite to the higher pleasures.

Ever wondered what to do in polite society if you find an insect in your food? Or how a gentleman should ask a lady to dance? And what on earth is the etiquette for smoking cigars? First published in 1860, Cecil B. Hartley's classic guide to gentlemanly behaviour is a veritable mine of information and indispensable advice for aspiring gentlemen. No matter if a man finds himself at a party, meeting someone new or travelling abroad, he has but to leaf through this book to learn how best to behave, and indeed how not to behave. And if he can find time between his numerous invitations to balls and hunting parties, he could benefit from a perusal of the sections on gentlemanly deportment and conversational technique. Not forgetting, of course, the all-important advice on how to treat ladies, surely an integral part of any true gentleman's training. Published here in a stunning edition alongside The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, this is the perfect gift for the would-be gentleman in your life. While it's an excellent volume for dipping into for hilarious nuggets of outdated advice, this guide also contains advice on all manner of topics, from beard-keeping to chivalry, that are just as relevant today as they were in Cecil B. Hartley's time. As he says himself: 'Once a gentleman always a gentleman' and be sure that you can so carry out the rule, that in your most careless, joyous moments, when freest from the restraints of etiquette, you can still be recognizable as a gentleman by every act, word, or look.

Are you worried about how to pay for college?? Are admissions requirements dictating your family’s lives?? Are you concerned about your child’s job prospects after graduation? If any of these questions resonate with you, it’s time to consider college in Europe.?? As a mother confronted by these issues, Jennifer Viemont took it upon herself to meticulously research, personally visit, and carefully consider the alternatives in continental Europe. She found over 300 accredited universities offering high-quality bachelor’s degree programs taught entirely in English—no foreign language skills needed—for a fraction of what American schools charge. You’ll be amazed to find that, in many cases, the cost of earning an entire bachelor’s degree (including travel costs) is less than just one year’s fees at an American university.? College Beyond the States?details the top 13 European schools that offer: ·Reasonable tuition fees well below any US option ·Transparent and attainable admissions criteria ·An exceptional international student environment Informative, empowering, and hopeful, College Beyond the States?is an invaluable resource for both parents and students alike and offers an appealing way to opt out of a system that no longer works for most families.

There was once a merchant, who was very, very rich. He had six children, three boys and three girls, and as he was a man of good sense, he spared no expense in order that they might be well educated, and gave them masters of every kind. His daughters were all beautiful, but his youngest one was especially admired, and from the time she was a small child, had been only known and spoken of as Beauty.

Lehet házunk a hegytet?n, men? kocsink a garázsban, drága holmikkal telet?m?tt gardróbunk, de mindez mit sem ér, ha nincs kivel megosztani az élményeinket. Van, aki hamar megtalálja élete párját, mások csak hosszú barangolás, megannyi kanyar után. Olykor nehéz, igen. Hinni, várni, szeretni, csalódni, talpra állni, és újra bízni. De eszünkbe ne jusson sajnálni az olykor keser? tapasztalatok egyetlen percét sem, hiszen minden rossz a javunkat szolgálja – már ha levonjuk a megfelel? tanulságot a t?rténtekb?l. Akár így, akár úgy, el?sz?r ismerkedjünk meg ?nmagunkkal, és ha tisztán látunk, biztosan észrevesszük azt a jókép? idegent, aki már alig várja, hogy megszólíthasson. Na, és ekkor beindul a móka, elindul k?z?s utunk. Addig pedig nincs más dolgunk, mint alaposan felkészülni a témából: Mit?l vonzó egy n? a pasik szemében? Mit hangsúlyoznak a férfiak ismerkedéskor? Miért fontos az els? randi? Tényleg édesapánk arcát keressünk a partnerünkben? Most akkor a hasonló a hasonlónak ?rül, vagy az ellentétek vonzzák egymást? Fogós kérdések, ugye? MEGYERI ZSUZSA D?RA párkapcsolati kisokosa a pszichológia t?rténetének legizgalmasabb kísérleteit, legérdekesebb kutatásait és felismeréseit gy?jti egy csokorba. Az eredmények szórakoztató és t?rténetekben b?velked? bemutatásával segít, hogy mi magunk is levonhassuk a ránk vonatkozó k?vetkeztetéseket, és az els? randitól a gyerekvállalásig a legt?bb nehéz helyzetet csillagos ?t?sre oldjuk meg – hiszen az élet párban szép!

Ferenczi Sándor egyik kedves gondolata volt: a magyar k?z?nség számára megírni a pszichoanalizis r?vid ?sszefoglalását. Tudtuk, hogy el is készült ez az írás. Tervezgette, hogy megjelenteti k?nyvalakban, de mindig k?zbej?tt valami akadály. A k?nyv nagyobbik felének kéziratát, hátrahagyott írásai k?z?tt készen találtuk. Noha ez a m? nem mai kelet?, ma sincs az egész világirodalomban a lélekelemzésnek jobb, nagyszer?bb, világosabb ?sszefoglalása. Hozzácsatoltuk még három kés?bbi el?adását; ezek a lélekelemzés újabban felmerült kérdéseivel foglalkoznak. ?gy ez a kis munka a mai pszichoanalizis teljes ismertetését adja.

Cunoa?te-te pe tine ?nsu?i Aceast? inscrip?ie reliefat? pe frontonul templului lui Apolo din Delfi a devenit principiul fundamental al filosofiei lui Socrate. Remarc?m de altfel c? majoritatea religiilor ?i ?nv???turilor antice ne ?ndeamn? c?tre aceea?i cunoa?tere fundamental?. ?Cunoa?te-te pe tine ?nsu?i!” s-a transformat ?ntr-o maxim? ?i un ?ndemn de urmat pentru majoritatea oamenilor, fiecare urm?ndu-?i propria cale. Ce ?nseamn? s? ne cunoa?tem? Ce suntem noi ?n realitate ?i ce este de (re)cunoscut referitor la fiin?a noastr?? Care este numitorul comun al tuturor ac?iunilor noastre? Care este aspira?ia l?untric? a fiec?ruia dintre noi, pentru ce facem tot ce facem ?i care este natura adev?ratei fericiri? Toat? c?utarea noastr? se rezum? la un lucru foarte simplu: g?sirea propriei identit??i. Poate fi adev?rata noastr? identitate o stare, o manifestare sau o experien??? Toate acestea sunt trec?toare, astfel c? dac? am fi fost una din ele, am fi disp?rut odat? cu ea. Nimic din ceea ce este supus schimb?rii, nimic din ceea ce apare ?i dispare nu poate constitui esen?a noastr?. Ceea ce suntem ?n realitate este permanent aici, percep?nd schimb?rile, apari?iile ?i dispari?iile experien?elor ?i a obiectelor din ele.

Ugye milyen jó lenne, ha a férfiak félszavakból is kitalálnák a legtitkosabb vágyainkat, a mosolyunk pedig elégedettséggel t?ltené el ?ket? REGINA SWOBODA a N?i rafinériában arra a nem kis feladatra vállalkozott, hogy a k?zhelyeket és sablonos válaszokat elkerülve bebizonyítsa: mindez k?nny?szerrel lehetséges.

Voltak olyan korok, amikor az azonos nem?ek szerelme elfogadott volt. Vajon hogy lehet, hogy most, a 21. században mégse tudunk mit kezdeni ezzel a dologgal? Miért van az, hogy sokan még ma is csak a kül?nbségeket akarják látni, legyen szó akár vallásról, b?rszínr?l vagy szexuális orientációról? Sokan óvtak attól, hogy megírjam ezt a k?nyvet. Azt mondták, nem olyan világban élünk, hogy ilyenekr?l beszélni lehessen. ?n mégis azt hiszem, hogy az emberi érzéseknek, az emberi életek tanulságainak, az ember drámáinak, dilemmáinak és ?r?meinek mindig és mindenkor helye van, mert talán ezek a legfontosabbak az életben. Remélem, hogy ez a k?nyv sokaknak jelent majd segítséget, kapaszkodót és ad er?t, hogy mindenb?l, a legnehezebb élethelyzetekb?l is van kiút. Fenntartásokkal vettem kezembe ezt a k?nyvet. Nem szeretem a klikkesedést, és vallom, hogy akkor lesz majd jó világ, ha nem kell olyan k?nyveknek születnie, mint ez a mostani. De sajnos még kell. ?rz?dik a hangomban a sértettség? Talán én is sebzett vagyok? Nem tagadom. Nem egyszer? mindennap úgy kimenni az utcára, hogy legalább egyszer ne azt halljad: ?Ott j?n az a buzi a tévéb?l!” ?n mégis mindenkinek azt tanácsolom, hogy inkább ugorjon ?ssze a gyomra egy beszólástól, minthogy egész életében ?k?lbe szoruljon a fel nem vállalt élete miatt… Amikor elkezdtem olvasni ezeket az interjúkat, beszippantott, s?t beindított a sok kül?nb?z? hang. Egyre inkább úgy éreztem, hogy az egész rólam szól. Mondatok, gondolatok, apák, anyák, hülye helyzetek, szorongások, szépségek, a vágy titokzatos tárgyai, szex, szemétség, szerelem, szatíra… Heterók, biszexek, melegek és egyéb állatfajták egyaránt megtalálják a saját mondataikat ezekben a sztorikban korra, nemre való tekintet nélkül. Leny?g?z?, hogy megismételhetetlen életeink mennyire ?sszeforrnak a t?bbiek sorsával, mások t?rténetével. Ez villanyozott fel igazán! Mert eszembe jutott az els? ?barin?m” az oviból, meg az ?ikern?vérem” a gimib?l, akivel csókolóztam, és megrémültem, mert tudtam, hogy egészen másra gondolunk csók k?zben. ?s bevillant a torna?lt?z?, ahol hideg verejtékben für?dtem k?vér kisfiúként, mik?zben a nyolcadikos srácok el?ttünk ?lt?ztek át, és disznó vicceket mesélve r?h?gtek. ?s persze el?bújt az emlékeim k?zül a jelenet, amikor Spanyolországba k?lt?ztem, és apám a gyorsforgalmi úton a reptér felé megkérdezte, hogy akkor végül is meleg vagyok-e. ?s persze az anyámnak írt levél Madridból, mert neki mégis inkább tartoztam ezzel a vallomással. Aztán az els? látogatásom a picike melegbárban, biológiak?nyvemmel a kezemben – másnap az ?t?sért feleltem… Meg a nagy csalódásom a ?legjobb barátomban”, akivel a gimiben el?sz?r lefeküdtem. ?s persze eszembe jutott a ?nagy szerelem”, ami ugyanúgy nem tudott normális lenni, ahogy az egész életem sem az. Ugye, hogy ezek a helyzetek nagyjából mindenki életébe behelyettesíthet?k? A melegek csak annyiból ?mások”, amennyiben a t?bbiek annak akarják tekinteni ?ket. Ez a k?nyv azért fontos, mert mindenki megtalálhatja benne azt, ami róla szól. Lakatos Márk

      关于人类自己，我们有着太多的好奇。为什么人会有欲望？是什么动机促使我们挑战这样或是那样的困难？动机总是一个一个，好像无休无止，自我实现真的可以被满足吗？甚至，我们还会想知道，我们可以成为什么，我们想要成为什么？      这些对自我行为与心理的探索，对内在人性的疑问和剖析，在这本《动机与人格》里已经行了充分的表述。当代伟大的心理学家、人本心理学的奠基人马斯洛在书中提出了许多精彩的观，详细探讨了自我实现这个概念，创造性地提出了人本心理学科学观的理论、需要层次论、元动机理论、心理治疗理论、高峰体验理论等重要观，以解答我们对人性的疑问，帮助我们从心理动机的角度，了解个人自我实现的需求。      实现内在动机的关键，在于认清内心自我实现的需求，抵御外部力量的裹挟。简单来说，就是只要你想，你就可以活出你自己想要成为的样子。

从历史的角度来看，现代人都是孤儿——当宗教已然衰落，而取代宗教的科学，又无法提供令人满意的生命意义，作者为现代人碎片化的心灵找出重新整合之道——练习直面死亡，在畏惧死亡的阵痛中让生命不断更新

Founded in 1965 and still active today, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) is an American institution with an international reputation. George E. Lewis, who joined the collective as a teenager in 1971, establishes the full importance and vitality of the AACM with this communal history, written with a symphonic sweep that draws on a cross-generational chorus of voices and a rich collection of rare images.Moving from Chicago to New York to Paris, and from founding member Steve McCall's kitchen table to Carnegie Hall, A Power Stronger Than Itself uncovers a vibrant, multicultural universe and brings to light a major piece of the history of avant-garde music and art.

Karl N. Llewellyn was one of the founders and major figures of legal realism, and his many keen insights have a central place in American law and legal understanding. Key to Llewellyn's thinking was his conception of rules, put forward in his numerous writings and most famously in his often mischaracterized declaration that they are "pretty playthings." Previously unpublished, The Theory of Rules is the most cogent presentation of his profound and insightful thinking about the life of rules.This book frames the development of Llewellyn's thinking and describes the difference between what rules literally prescribe and what is actually done, with the gap explained by a complex array of practices, conventions, professional skills, and idiosyncrasies, most of which are devoted to achieving a law's larger purpose rather than merely following the letter of a particular rule. Edited, annotated, and with an extensive analytic introduction by leading contemporary legal scholar Frederick Schauer, this rediscovered work contains material not found elsewhere in Llewellyn's writings and will prove a valuable contribution to the existing literature on legal realism.

Anna Morandi Manzolini (1714-74), a woman artist and scientist, surmounted meager origins and limited formal education to become one of the most acclaimed anatomical sculptors of the Enlightenment. The Lady Anatomist tells the story of her arresting life and times, in light of the intertwined histories of science, gender, and art that complicated her rise to fame in the eighteenth century.Examining the details of Morandi's remarkable life, Rebecca Messbarger traces her intellectual trajectory from provincial artist to internationally renowned anatomical wax modeler for the University of Bologna's famous medical school. Placing Morandi's work within its cultural and historical context, as well as in line with the Italian tradition of anatomical studies and design, Messbarger uncovers the messages contained within Morandi's wax in*ions, part complex theories of the body and part poetry. Widely appealing to those with an interest in the tangled histories of art and the body, and including lavish, full-color reproductions of Morandi's work, The Lady Anatomist is a sophisticated biography of a true visionary.

From the lumberyards and meatpacking factories of the Southwest Side to the industrial suburbs that arose near Lake Calumet at the turn of the twentieth century, manufacturing districts shaped Chicago's character and laid the groundwork for its transformation into a sprawling metropolis. Approaching Chicago's story as a reflection of America's industrial history between the Civil War and World War II, Chicago Made explores not only the well-documented workings of centrally located city factories but also the overlooked suburbanization of manufacturing and its profound effect on the metropolitan landscape. Robert Lewis documents how manufacturers, attracted to greenfield sites on the city's outskirts, began to build factory districts there with the help of an intricate network of railroad owners, real estate developers, financiers, and wholesalers. These immense networks of social ties, organizational memberships, and financial relationships were ultimately more consequential, Lewis demonstrates, than any individual achievement. Beyond simply giving Chicago businesses competitive advantages, they transformed the economic geography of the region. Tracing these transformations across seventy-five years, Chicago Made establishes a broad new foundation for our understanding of urban industrial America.

(This edition does not include illustrations.) An intimate celebration of women and friendship from international bestselling author Nikki Gemmell. ‘The Bride Stripped Bare’ exposed female desire as no other book had; raw, intoxicating and breathtakingly libidinous. ‘Pleasure’ looks set to do the same with more secret women's business – dealing candidly with everything from Brazilian waxes to 'secret' underwear, from coping with broken hearts to what makes a perfect partner (a checklist to cut out and keep), from advice on the friends who flatten you (frenemies) to the importance of empathy. Both bold and intimate, ‘Pleasure’ is a book Nikki Gemmell says she looked for as a gift for a cherished friend – and never found. So she decided to write it herself. Encased in a stunning design package with beautiful feminine illustrations, this is a book every woman will want to share with her best friend, aunt, sister or fairy godmother.

A collection of essays on books and why they matter by the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY and WONDER BOYS. MAPS AND LEGENDS is a love song in sixteen parts – a series of linked essays in praise of reading and writing, with subjects running from ghost stories to comic books, Sherlock Holmes to Cormac McCarthy. Throughout, Chabon energetically argues for a return to the thrilling, chilling origins of storytelling, rejecting the false walls around ‘serious’ literature in favour of a wide-ranging affection. His own fiction, meanwhile, is explored from the perspective of personal history: post-collegiate desperation sparks his debut, THE MYSTERIES OF PITTSBURGH; procrastination and doubt reveal the way towards WONDER BOYS; a love of comics and a basement golem combine to create the Pulitzer Prize-winning THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY; and an enigmatic Yiddish phrasebook unfurls into THE YIDDISH POLICEMEN’S UNION.

Take your Haskell and functional programming skills to the next level by exploring new idioms and design patternsAbout This BookExplore Haskell on a higher level through idioms and patternsGet an in-depth look into the three strongholds of Haskell: higher-order functions, the Type system, and Lazy evaluationExpand your understanding of Haskell and functional programming, one line of executable code at a timeWho This Book Is ForIf you’re a Haskell programmer with a firm grasp of the basics and ready to move more deeply into modern idiomatic Haskell programming, then this book is for you.What You Will LearnUnderstand the relationship between the “Gang of Four” OOP Design Patterns and HaskellTry out three ways of Streaming I/O: imperative, Lazy, and Iteratee basedExplore the pervasive pattern of Composition: from function composition through to high-level composition with LensesSynthesize Functor, Applicative, Arrow and Monad in a single conceptual frameworkFollow the grand arc of Fold and Map on lists all the way to their culmination in Lenses and Generic ProgrammingGet a taste of Type-level programming in Haskell and how this relates to dependently-typed programmingRetrace the evolution, one key language extension at a time, of the Haskell Type and Kind systemsPlace the elements of modern Haskell in a historical frameworkIn DetailDesign patterns and idioms can widen our perspective by showing us where to look, what to look at, and ultimately how to see what we are looking at. At their best, patterns are a shorthand method of communicating better ways to code (writing less, more maintainable, and more efficient code).This book starts with Haskell 98 and through the lens of patterns and idioms investigates the key advances and programming styles that together make "modern Haskell". Your journey begins with the three pillars of Haskell. Then you'll experience the problem with Lazy I/O, together with a solution. You'll also trace the hierarchy formed by Functor, Applicative, Arrow, and Monad. Next you'll explore how Fold and Map are generalized by Foldable and Traversable, which in turn is unified in a broader context by functional Lenses. You'll delve more deeply into the Type system, which will prepare you for an overview of Generic programming. In conclusion you go to the edge of Haskell by investigating the Kind system and how this relates to Dependently-typed programming.Style and approachUsing short pieces of executable code, this guide gradually explores the broad pattern landscape of modern Haskell. Ideas are presented in their historical context and arrived at through intuitive derivations, always with a focus on the problems they solve.
