Each Geronimo book is fast-paced, with lively full-color art and a unique format kids 7-10 will love.When Wild Willie showed up at my door and invited me to travel with him to Japan, I jumped at the chance. We were in search of an ancient, legendary samurai scroll that holds the secret to a long-lost fighting technique. The scroll had fallen into the wrong hands, and it was up to me and Wild Willie to track it down and save the day. But first, we would have to fight a group of talented ninjas. Holey cheese – this would be one adventure I would never forget!

Total pages: 146

Description:

Zbiór wysmakowanej, erudycyjnej i poruszającej prozy Michała Głowińskiego, jednego z najwybitniejszych polskich humanistów.

Opowiadania Głowińskiego pokazują, że tak głębokie zaangażowanie w rejestrowaniu świata dziś już się nie zdarza w literaturze. W jego tekstach ożywają dawni nauczyciele akademiccy, koledzy z roku, profesorowie czy przypadkowo spotkani przechodnie. Twórczym impulsem do snucia historii może stać się wycinek prasowy, spotkanie starej znajomej na poczcie czy nowe, zaskakujące użycie słowa w tekście. Żywy, aktywny i wciąż poszukujący intelekt Michała Głowińskiego najdrobniejsze zdarzenie codzienności potrafi umieścić w szerokim kontekście społecznym, historycznym i ludzkim.

Opowieść o wycieczce z koleżanką na daleką Pragę "w czynie społecznym" staje się pretekstem do aktualnej jak nigdy refleksji o przyzwoitości i wstydzie. Wizyta u fryzjera okazuje się być doskonałą okazją do przyglądania się niezmiennej szkodliwości stereotypów. Kiczowaty obraz okładki magazynu wydanego w czasach głębokiego stalinizmu zachęca do odbycia podróży do dawno nieodwiedzanych miejsc. Ale niezmiennie w centrum zainteresowania Głowińskiego pozostaje człowiek – z jego ułomnościami, słabościami i nieoczywistym pięknem. W kinie, w sklepie, przed półką z gazetami – nie przestaje przyglądać się sobie i ludziom z dystansem i życzliwą refleksją.

Zbiór został wzbogacony tekstami o charakterze felietonów i małych esejów, w których znajdziemy rozważania o języku, poezji, jakości współczesnej prozy, a nawet architekturze. Poznajemy w nich Głowińskiego jako pełnego dystansu do siebie akademika, a przy tym czujnego humanistę, sprawnego obserwatora i niezastąpionego komentatora.

Description:

You’ve been lifting for a few years. When you take your shirt off, do you look like a professional athlete? Do you even look like you work out?
Many fitness "experts" defend weights and cardio like they are infallible, but where are the results? Why does almost nobody look even marginally athletic?
Fitness may be the most failed human endeavor, and you are about to see how exercise science has missed some obvious principles that when enacted will turn you into the superhuman you always wanted to be.
In Weight Lifting is a Waste of Time, Dr. John Jaquish and Henry Alkire explore the science that supports this argument and lay out a superior strength training approach that has been seen to put 20 pounds of muscle on drug-free, experienced lifters (i.e., not beginners) in six months.

Title: The Corsair Affair and Articles Related to the Writings
Author: Søren Kierkegaard
Language: polski
Year: 2009
Subjects: Philosophy, Nonfiction
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 9780691072463
Total pages: 98

Description:

The Corsair affair has been called the "most renowned controversy in Danish literary history." At the center is Søren Kierkegaard, whose pseudonymous Stages on Life’s Way occasioned a frivolous and dishonorable review by Peder Ludvig Møller. Møller was associated with The Corsair, a publication notorious for gossip and caricature. The editor was Meïr Goldschmidt, an acquaintance of Kierkegaard’s and an admirer of his early work. Kierkegaard struck back at not only Møller and Goldschmidt but at the paper as a whole. The present volume contains all of the documents relevant to this dispute, plus a historical introduction that recapitulates the sequence of events surrounding the controversy.
Parts I (Article) and II (Addenda) contain articles both signed by and attributed to Kierkegaard in response to the affair. A supplement includes writings pertaining to the Corsair affair by Goldschmidt and Møller, as well as unpublished pieces by Kierkegaard from his journals and papers. Although the immediate occasion was literary, for Kierkegaard the issues as well as the consequences were ethical, social, philosophical, and religious. Howard Hong argues that the most important consequence was wholly unexpected and unintended: the second phase of Kierkegaard’s authorship.

Author: Namita Gokhale

Publisher: Harper India
ISBN: 9789352776115
Total pages: 128

Description:

The Himalayas, the tallest and the youngest mountains in the world, spread from Afghanistan and Pakistan through India, Bhutan, Nepal and Myanmar with their northern extrusions – the Ximalaya Shanmai – across the Tibetan plateau in China. Despite border restrictions, the inhabitants of this region continue to share a trans-Himalayan identity, fragile yet enduring. The Himalayan Arc focuses on a crucial, enthralling, politically turbulent, yet often underreported part of this Himalayan belt – the ‘East of South-east’. With over thirty contributors, it attempts to describe the sense of shared lives and cultural connectivity between the denizens of this area. Poetry, fiction, and mysticism are juxtaposed with essays on strategy and diplomacy, espionage and the deep state, photographs, folk tales, and fables. From the unique identity of a Himalayan citizen to the ‘geopolitical jigsaw’ that is the region; from the hidden spy network in Kathmandu to intimate portraits of Shillong, Gangtok, Darjeeling, and other cities; from the insurgency in Assam to a portrait of Myanmar under military rule, the essays, stories, and poems in this anthology highlight the similarities within the differences of the Himalayan belt. Providing insider and outsider perspectives on this intriguing part of the world, The Himalayan Arc is a travel book with a difference.

Description:

A STORY OF TEN SIBLINGS, WHO FELL TO THE MORTAL WORLD AND CHANGED THE FACE OF HISTORY FOREVER…

"The Great Clans are the greatest servants of the Emperor — and perhaps the greatest threat to the stability of the Empire."
— Soshi Saibankan

The Emerald Empire of Rokugan has long been one of war and conflict, a great history forged at its heart by an unending sibling rivalry. The Great Clans of Rokugan were founded by the Kami, children of the Sun and Moon, and their adherence to their founder’s personalities and vows have defined the Empire. Each seeks to gain ground over the others, a continuing reflection of the Tournament of the Kami that set the Empire in motion so long ago.

The Great Clans takes you deep into the psyche and workings of the The Great Clans of Rokugan. The book features a full chapter on each of the Great Clans, focusing on on the various families, histories, and culture that makes up those Clans. Additional chapters also cover the evil Spider Clan, the return of Heritage Tables, and vassal families. This 304-page sourcebook features:

A thorough look at each Great Clan, including the individual families that comprise them. Each also features new schools, paths, kata, ancestors, and more.
Heritage tables to develop more interesting backgrounds for PCs and NPCs. Learn the deeds, and misdeeds, of your forefathers and how those affect your character’s life.
Details on all the small vassal families that serve and support the Great Clans, without which they could barely operate — though they may be loath to admit it.

The Great Clans will give players and GMs many more tools to make their journey through the Emerald Empire robust and exciting.

NOMINATED FOR SIX OSCARS, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE, SUPPORTING ACTOR AND SUPPORTING ACTRESS . . .
Aged just five, Saroo Brierley lost all contact with his family in India, after waiting at a train station for his brother who never returned.

Discover the inspiring, true story behind the film, Lion. This is the heart breaking and original tale of the lost little boy who found his way home twenty-five years later.
——————
As a five-year old in India, I got lost on a train. Twenty-five years later, I crossed the world to find my way back home.

Five-year-old Saroo lived in a poor village in India, in a one-room hut with his mother and three siblings… until the day he boarded a train alone and got lost. For twenty-five years.
This is the story of what happened to Saroo in those twenty-five years. How he ended up on the streets of Calcutta. And survived. How he then ended up in Tasmania, living the life of an upper-middle-class Aussie. And how, at thirty years old, with some dogged determination, a heap of good luck and the power of Google Earth, he found his way back home.
Lion is a triumphant true story of survival against all odds and a shining example of the extraordinary feats we can achieve when hope endures.
