Azt mondják, hogy a leghosszabb visszhang, amelyet valaha mértek, 75 másodpercig tartott, de megnyugtathatok mindenkit, hogy ez sokkal tovább szól majd. A durranás megsüketítette k?rül?ttem a világot, mindent semmivé némított, hagyta, hogy pusztításának tük?rképe sokkal tovább megmaradjon, mint kellett volna. ?r?kké k?vetni fog engem, el fog pusztítani engem – elpusztít benneteket. Válaszokra vártok? ?n is.

"…and they laid all waste with dreadful havoc, trod with unhallowed feet the holy places, dug up the altars, and carried off all the treasures of the holy church. Some of the brethren they killed; some they carried off in chains; many they cast out, naked and loaded with insults; some they drowned in the sea." —Simeon of Durham, A History of the Community of Durham Beginning in 789 CE, the Vikings raided monasteries, sacked settlements and invaded the Atlantic coast of Europe and the British Isles. They looted and enslaved their enemies, terrorizing all whom they encountered. But that is only part of their story. Sailing their famous longboats, they discovered Iceland and North America, colonised Greenland, founded Dublin, and also sailed up the River Seine and besieged Paris. They settled from Newfoundland to Russia, conquered eastern England, and fought battles from Ireland to the Caspian Sea. They traded walruses with Inuits, brought Russian furs to Western Europe and took European slaves to Constantinople. Their graves contain Arab silver, Byzantine silks and Frankish weapons and artefacts. Illustrated with more than 200 maps, photographs and artworks, The Viking Warrior examines these fearsome warriors through their origins, social structure, raiding culture, weapons, trading networks and settlements.

This book makes the case that many climate related scientists have provided data that confirm that burning fossil fuels has increased greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, which has had a major impact on climate change. Each of the six chapters provides many references and questions for review. The first chapter emphasizes worldwide awareness of the relationship between climate change and disasters in the Asia Pacific region. The following chapters cover such topics as climate change mitigation measures by government and the relationship between climate change and disaster preparedness, response, and recovery, the role of EPA and FEMA, actions taken by the Asian Bank and the probable future impact of climate change on mass migrations in the future.

Cum s? cre?tem copii care s? aib? ?ncredere ?n ei O dispozi?ie ?ncrez?toare ?i fericit?, bazat? pe respect s?n?tos de sine, este cel mai bun cadou pe care un p?rinte ?l poate oferi copilului s?u. Nu exist? formula perfect? pentru a fi p?rinte ?i a?a ceva este, ?n orice caz, un vis irealizabil. To?i avem momente c?nd nu facem fa?? presiunilor. Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer porne?te de la premisa c? respectul de sine este ingredientul de baz? al fericirii profunde ?i c? st? ?n puterea noastr?, ca p?rin?i, s? le d?ruim celor mici un respect s?n?tos de sine ?i, prin aceasta, fericirea aceea durabil? dup? care t?njim cu to?ii. Ce ?nseamn? respectul de sine? S? ne sim?im bine ?n leg?tur? cu noi ?n?ine, s? fim m?ndri de cine suntem. Dac? ai stim? de sine, e?ti fericit ?i ai ?ncredere ?n valoarea ta intrinsec?, ca persoan? unic?. Copiii, la fel ca adul?ii, au cele mai bune rezultate atunci c?nd se simt confortabil ?n propria piele. Iar acest lucru se ?nt?mpl? atunci c?nd li se spune c? au f?cut ceva bine, c? sunt simpatici, c? sunt o companie pl?cut?. Un copil ??i va dezvolta respectul de sine ?i va deveni o persoan? ?ncrez?toare, independent? ?i fericit? numai dac? este ferm convins de dragostea ?i aprecierea p?rin?ilor lui. Dac? te ?ntrebi cum po?i s? ??i aju?i copilul s? ??i dezvolte respectul de sine, ?n aceast? carte vei g?si solu?iile! Cartea cuprinde: - 9 capitole despre cum s? ??i cre?ti copilul av?nd o atitudine pozitiv? - Concepte-cheie precum ?laud?“, ?joac?“, ?timp“, ?atingere“ ?i ?discu?ie“ care te vor ghida ?n interac?iunea cu cel mic - ?ntreb?ri care te vor ajuta s? ??i ?n?elegi ?i s? ??i ?mbun?t??e?ti comportamentul - Informa?ii punctate, cu caracter concret ?i u?or de parcurs - Casete ?n care po?i face noti?e personale - 2 schi?e care explic? perfect raportul de cauzalitate dintre emo?ii, comportamente ?i urm?rile lor ?O carte practic? ?i bine scris?, care ofer? sprijin p?rin?ilor ?i expune multe idei utile.“ - Nursery World ?Se spune c? adev?rata fericire nu este reprezentat? de linia de sosire; ea este constituit? pe parcursul care te duce acolo. Dac? vom concepe fericirea drept ceva ce trebuie atins, g?sit sau cump?rat, rezult? c? ea poate, de asemenea, s? dispar?. Acest tip de fericire exist?, ?ntr-adev?r, dar este, prin defini?ie, extern, trec?tor ?i fragil. Exist? ?ns? o fericire mai ad?nc ?nr?d?cinat?, mai durabil?, ?i anume una care este situat? ?n interior. Dac? o avem sau nu depinde de cum ne apreciem pe noi ?n?ine, adic? de respectul de sine.”

Citind romanul lui Cosmin, am intrat automat n rolul unui cenzor paranoid, din ce n ce mai ncruntat, pe msur ce intram n pinea de cuvinte. Mai ncruntat fiindc am nceput s adun ntrebri pentru a pune la punct autorul, pentru a-l convinge c un asemenea text nu trebuie publicat, fiindc este periculos pentru ceteanul de bun credin, este subversiv i cu att mai nociv, cu ct ncearc s se ascund n spatele absurdului. Fiindc nou, cenzorilor, la cursul de cenzur aplicat ni s-a atras atenia de la bun nceput: atenie mare la absurdul cu substrat, la textele aparent schizoide! Acolo se ascunde buba! Iar buba trebuie tratat chirurgical! Cine se ascunde n spatele Cinelui de lemn Cine e Jumtatea de Matrioc Iar antierul e cumva La Canal Adic personajele tale au nnebunit din cauza regimului Nu neleg! Mi biete, ai cam srit calul! Fii atent la mine, textul tu nu poate fi publicat! Sau te apuci de scris normal, pe nelesul omului echilibrat, sau las-te! Auzi la el, CHINUL VENIC I NEOSTOITA SCRNIRE A DINILOR!“ – Micleuanu M. Bi, Pera sta e de belea. N-am mai citit nici un scriitor de sta care s-i frece creierii cum o face el. Dup ce termini cartea te nvri n cerc n mijlocul camerei, ca un tmpit, i nu tii ce-i cu tine, frate, pe bune. Eti praf.“ – Un biat C. Pera pare s fie al treilea frate Strugatski. Umor, suspans, intertextualism, fantasy – acestea sunt ingredientele romanului pe care tocmai l citesc i n care, mai mult ca sigur, i-ai dori i tu s fii personaj, fie i mcar unul secundar. Mie mi-ar plcea s fiu Cinele.“ – V. Leac

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. Duzhe davno, koli ljuds'ka rasa t?l'ki obzhivala vorozhij sv?t, a magi u svo?h vezhah zajmalisja lishe visokoju naukoju char?vnictva, bulo stvoreno g?l'd?ju v?d'mak?v — rem?snik?v v?d mag??, jakih navchali vbivati temn? porodzhennja potojb?chchja: v??v ? v?pper?v, mantikor ? gul?v, grifon?v ? bruks-vamp?ric'.

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.

“There are many misconceptions about ISO standards that very often do not allow the standard to become a serious candidate for consideration, let alone for the actual implementation.” In this book, Dejan Kosutic, author and experienced ISO consultant, is giving away his practical know-how on preparing for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 20000, ISO 22000, OHSAS 18001, ISO 13485, AS9100, and IATF 16949 implementation. No matter if you are new or experienced in the field, this book gives you everything you will ever need to learn about preparations for ISO implementation projects, and how to avoid some costly mistakes in the process. The first step that is crucial to any ISO implementation project is to convince your top management to implement the ISO standard, and in order to do so, you have to speak the language they want to hear. As Kosutic says: “What management wants to hear are profit, market share, client satisfaction, cost cutting, business strategy, and business risks. And you can't blame them – after all, this is what their job is all about.” Starting from that step, Preparations for the ISO Implementation Project: A Plain English Guide will cover other important steps your organization must take in order to be completely prepared for the implementation of any ISO standard. Among other important things, you will learn how to choose a consultant, how to set up the project management structure, and what tools and templates can help you in the implementation project. Written in easy-to-understand language, this book is written for people who are going for an ISO implementation for the first time and need clear guidance on what to do before the project starts. Whether you’re an experienced practitioner or new to the field, it’s the only book you’ll ever need on the subject.

From around 750BC to 12BC, the Celts were the most powerful people in central and northern Europe. With the expansion of the Roman Empire and the later Christianization of these lands, they were pushed to the fringes of north-western Spain, France and the British Isles. But there the mythology of these peoples held strong. The tales from Celtic myth were noted down and also absorbed into other cultures. From Roman and Christian scribes we know of characters like Morrigan the shape-shifting queen, who could change herself from a crow to a wolf, Cu Chulainn, who, mortally wounded in battle, tied himself with his own intestines to a rock so that he’d die standing up, and the Cauldron of Bran, which could restore life. Other than being fascinating in their own right, Celtic legends are of interest for the influence they had over subsequent mythologies. The story of the Holy Grail first appears in medieval romances but its antecedents can be found in the Celtic tale, the Mabinogion. Illustrated with more than 180 colour and black-and-white artworks and photographs and maps, Celtic Legends is an expertly written account of the mythological tales that both fascinate us and influence other writings.
