An Astronaut´s Guide to Life on Earth - Chris Hadfield

Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, and been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft. The secret to Col. Hadfield's success-and survival-is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst- and enjoy every moment of it.In An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Col. Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks, and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement-and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counterintuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff.You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Col. Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth-especially your own.

How to Be Queer: An Ancient Guide to Sexuality - Nooter Sarah

An irresistible anthology of ancient Greek writings that explore queer desire and loveEros, limb-loosening, whirls me about again,that bittersweet, implacable creature. —SapphoThe idea of sexual fluidity may seem new, but it is at least as old as the ancient Greeks, who wrote about queer experiences with remarkable frankness, wit, and insight. How to Be Queer is an infatuating collection of these writings about desire, love, and lust between men, between women, and between humans and gods, in lucid and lively new translations.Filled with enthralling stories, this anthology invites readers of all sexualities and identities to explore writings that describe many kinds of erotic encounters and feelings, and that envision a playful and passionate approach to sexuality as part of a rich and fulfilling life. How to Be Queer starts with Homer’s Iliad and moves through lyric poetry, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, and biography, drawing on a wide range of authors, including Sappho, Plato, Anacreon, Pindar, Theognis, Aristophanes, and Xenophon. It features both beautiful poetry and thought-provoking prose, emotional outpourings and humorous anecdotes.From Homer’s story of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, one of the most intense between men in world literature, to Sappho’s lyrics on the pleasures and pains of loving women, these writings show the many meanings of what the Greeks called eros. Complete with brief introductions to the selections, and with the original Greek on facing pages, How to Be Queer reveals what the Greeks knew long ago—that the erotic and queer are a source of life and a cause for celebration.

How to Make Money: An Ancient Guide to Wealth Management - Grillo Luca

An enriching collection of classical writings about how ancient Romans made—and thought about—moneyAncient Romans liked money. But how did they make a living and sometimes even become rich? The Roman economy was dominated by agriculture, but it was surprisingly modern in many ways: the Romans had companies with CEOs, shareholders, and detailed contracts regulated by meticulous laws; systems of banking and taxation; and a wide range of occupations, from merchant and doctor to architect and teacher. The Romans also enjoyed a relatively open society, where some could start from the bottom, work, invest, and grow rich.How to Make Money gathers a wide variety of ancient writings that show how Romans thought about, made, invested, spent, lost, and gave away money. The Roman elite idealized farming and service to the state but treated many other occupations with suspicion or contempt, from money lending to wage labor. But whatever their attitudes, pecunia made the Roman world go round.In the Satyricon, Trimalchio brags about his wealth. Seneca accumulated a fortune—but taught that money can’t buy happiness. Eumachia inherited a brick factory from her father, married well, and turned to philanthropy after she was widowed.How to Make Money also takes up some of the most troubling aspects of the Roman economy, slavery and prostitution, which the elite deemed unrespectable but often profited from. Featuring lively new translations, an illuminating introduction, and the original Latin and Greek texts on facing pages, How to Make Money offers a revealing look at the Roman worlds of work and money.

How to Get Over a Breakup: An Ancient Guide to Moving On - Publius Ovidius Naso

A modern translation of the ancient Roman poet Ovid’s Remedies for Love—a witty and irreverent work about how to fall out of loveBreakups are the worst. On one scale devised by psychiatrists, only a spouse’s death was ranked as more stressful than a marital split. Is there any treatment for a breakup? The ancient Roman poet Ovid thought so.Having become famous for teaching the art of seduction in The Art of Love, he then wrote Remedies for Love (Remedia Amoris), which presents thirty-eight frank and witty strategies for coping with unrequited love, falling out of love, ending a relationship, and healing a broken heart. How to Get Over a Breakup presents an unabashedly modern prose translation of Ovid’s lighthearted and provocative work, complete with a lively introduction and the original Latin on facing pages. Ovid’s advice—which he illustrates with ingenious interpretations of classical mythology—ranges from the practical, psychologically astute, and profound to the ironic, deliberately offensive, and bizarre.Some advice is conventional—such as staying busy, not spending time alone, and avoiding places associated with an ex. Some is off-color, such as having sex until you’re sick of it. And some is simply and delightfully weird—such as becoming a lawyer and not eating arugula.Whether his advice is good or bad, entertaining or outrageous, How to Get Over a Breakup reveals an Ovid who sounds startlingly modern.

Thank You for Being Late is a work of contemporary history that serves as a field manual for how to think about this era of accelerations and how we can anchor ourselves in the eye of this storm.

Bookshops & Bonedust (Defekt) - Travis Baldree

Set twenty years before the events of Legends & Lattes, Bookshops & Bonedust is a standalone cosy fantasy by BookTok sensation Travis Baldree about the power of good bookshops, great friends and the unexpected choices along the way.First loves. Second-hand books. Epic adventures.Viv's career with the renowned mercenary company Rackam's Ravens isn't going as planned. Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she's packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk – so far from the action that she worries she'll never be able to return to it. What's a thwarted soldier of fortune to do?Spending her hours at a struggling bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted. Even though it may be exactly what she needs. Still, adventure isn't far away. A suspicious traveler in grey, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling, and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected.Sometimes, right things happen at the wrong time. Sometimes, what we need isn't what we seek. And sometimes, we find ourselves in the stories we experience together.

An Analysis of Christopher R. Browning's Ordinary Men - James Chappel, Tom Stammers

Of all the controversies facing historians today, few are more divisive or more important than the question of how the Holocaust was possible. What led thousands of Germans – many of them middle-aged reservists with, apparently, little Nazi zeal – to willingly commit acts of genocide? Was it ideology? Was there something rotten in the German soul? Or was it – as Christopher Browning argues in this highly influential book – more a matter of conformity, a response to intolerable social and psychological pressure?Ordinary Men is a microhistory, the detailed study of a single unit in the Nazi killing machine. Browning evaluates a wide range of evidence to seek to explain the actions of the "ordinary men" who made up reserve Police Battalion 101, taking advantage of the wide range of resources prepared in the early 1960s for a proposed war crimes trial. He concludes that his subjects were not "evil;" rather, their actions are best explained by a desire to be part of a team, not to shirk responsibility that would otherwise fall on the shoulders of comrades, and a willingness to obey authority. Browning''s ability to explore the strengths and weaknesses of arguments – both the survivors'' and other historians'' – is what sets his work apart from other studies that have attempted to get to the root of the motivations for the Holocaust, and it is also what marks Ordinary Men as one of the most important works of its generation.

The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man - James Weldon Johnson - e-kniha

eBook: James Weldon Johnson\'s emotionally gripping novel is a landmark in black literary history and, more than eighty years after its original anonymous publication, a classic of American fiction.The first fictional memoir ever written by a black person, The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man influenced a generation of writers during the Harlem Renaissance and served as eloquent inspiration for Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, and Richard Wright. In the 1920s and since, it has also given white readers a startling new perspective on their own culture, revealing to many the double standard of racial identity imposed on black Americans.Narrated by a mulatto man whose light skin allows him to \"pass\" for white, the novel describes a pilgrimage through America\'s color lines at the turn of the century--from a black college in Jacksonville to an elite New York nightclub, from the rural South to the white suburbs of the Northeast.

Alfa žena ve vztazích - Rhodes Sonya, Schneider Susan

"Vyslechla jsem si už hodně Alfa žen, které měly strach, že si nenajdou někoho, koho by milovaly a za koho by se provdaly. Jsou plny obav z toho, že se jich muži příliš bojí, a domnívají se, že by se možná měly přizpůsobit. Tohle tak doopravdy není! Je to veliký omyl!" Vždy, když slyším ženy říkat takové věci, rozzlobím se. Samozřejmě, že můj hněv nepatří těmto ženám, ale kultuře, která profituje z vytváření děsivých předpovědí o nešťastné lásce a o asertivním životě sexy Alfa ženy. Je to prostě absurdní. Najít si partnera je pro vás výzva a máte k tomu prostor i obrovskou energii. Jen nesmíte mít po neúspěšných vztazích otřesené sebevědomí. S otřeseným egem z nešťastného vztahu se ženy často cítí nepochopitelně bezbranné a zdeptané. Když vkročí ke mně do poradny, hledají mentora, který je provede složitým bludištěm vztahů, aby se tak vyhnuly slepým koncům, a našly konečně někoho, s kým by sdílely svůj život. Nikdy nepodněcuji ženu k tomu, aby se usadila, uklidnila, anebo z problémů ve vztahu obviňovala výlučně sebe. Nemá to smysl, protože se tím nikdy nic nevyřeší. Vzpomínky na ženy z poradny mi tanuly na mysli a jejich osudové příběhy doslova žadonily o sepsání a o zveřejnění. Každý z těchto příběhů nám něco napoví, posune nás a pomůže nám k lepšímu pochopení vztahů. Dodá nám odvahu neměnit se ve jménu lásky jen proto, abychom si udržely chlapa. Vždyť opravdová láska znamená přijetí. Mrcha. Běhna. Panovačná. Kolem asertivních žen se točí mnoho negativ. Lepší časy pro Alfa ženu nikdy neexistovaly. Vzdělává se, její kariéra je na postupu, je soběstačná, může obhajovat svoji sexualitu a činit samostatná životní rozhodnutí. Mnohé z nich se však obávají, že manželství a dlouhodobý vztah je nakonec mine. Ve společnosti si lidé často stěžují, že jsou ženy "příliš" silné, "příliš" ohrožující a "příliš" sexuální. A co to má za následek? Pokud ženy překonají muže svojí sílou a sexualitou, nikdo si je nebude chtít vzít. Hrozivé předpovědi pro Alfa ženy jsou přehnané, a ti, kteří tyto alarmující předpovědi do světa vypouštějí, mají svoji vlastní agendu. Někdy se i samotné ženy přidají k hlasům těch, kteří tyto informace vysílají. Silná vnitřní obava se dostaví při každém neúspěchu v lásce… A právě proto vznikla tato jedinečná kniha, která každé Alfa i Beta ženě její silné a slabé stránky ozřejmí a pomůže jí najít správnou taktiku pro osobní štěstí. Její součástí je i 100 otázek, které vám, drahé čtenářky, pomohou zjistit, jakým typem vlastně jste.
