Miss Kim Knows and Other Stories - Cho Nam-Joo

Written in Cho Nam-Joo s masterful, razor-sharp prose, Miss Kim Knows brings together the lives of eight Korean women, aged 10 to 80.

Frog and Ball
A frog, a magic spell book, and one big, angry yellow ball. What could go wrong? Everything in this hilarious early reader comic.    Bee Bop Tiffle Dunk! Bam Bog Boo Bop! None of the magic spells in Frog s magic spell book will work on the deflated ball he found. Frustrated, Frog kicks the ball and watches as it flies up in the air and gets bigger and bigger and then as it comes back--uh, oh! Frog tries to outrun, trick, and hide from the ball in the library but the ball always finds him--even if it means knocking down bookshelves, ruining a puppet show, and sending papers flying everywhere!    Author-illustrator Kathy Caple has created a hilarious story for young readers filled with slapstick humor and a healthy dose of be careful what you wish for. With a variety of panel sizes and styles, there is much here for kids to pore over and return to again and again.    I Like to Read Comics are created for kids just learning to read. Sequential art and simple text--and a powerful relationship between the two--are perfect for developing readers.

British Army Terminology and Abbreviations 1939-1945 - Lt Col Dick Taylor
This book is not only intended for a general readership, but also for military researchers and historians who often find that they get lost in the huge and arcane raft of terminology employed by the army during the conflict. It is an essential guide resting on the elbow of every serious historian as they undertake research using primary and secondary sources, and of every reader exploring secondary sources about the war. No such reference book as this exists. The author is an experienced military historian with a background in British Army history, and yet even he often found himself stumped when reading War Diaries, National Archive documents, and other primary sources.The text consists of the following main sections:- Abbreviations and acronyms- Units, regiments and corps- A full glossary of military concepts and terminology- British army slang- Operational namesAs well as general military terms, a great deal of effort has gone into looking at the often deeply technical and even arcane terminology used not only by the commanders and their staff and the combat units, but also by the multitude of supporting organisations, including artillery, engineering, supply and transport, and medical. What s a BM? It s a Band Master, a Beach Master, a Brigade Major and a Bending Moment in bridging!

Why Is This Night Different from All Other Nights? - Lemony Snicket

Pokud ne, v tom případě nevíte, že po pořádném, dlouhém pláči se obvykle cítíte lépe, a to dokonce i tehdy, když se vaše situace ani trochu nezmění. Že jste o sirotcích Baudelairových ještě nikdy neslyšeli? Pak než si poslechnete byť jen jedinou větu, měli byste vědět toto: Violet, Klaus a Sunny jsou dobrosrdeční, ale jejich život je plný smůly a utrpení. Všechny příběhy těchto tří dětí jsou nešťastné a ubohé a nejspíš vás naplní hlubokým zoufalstvím. Pokud se vám, milí čtenáři, líbí příběhy se šťastným koncem, pak si raději poslechněte nějakou jinou audioknihu. V téhle nejenže nenajdete šťastný konec, ale ani šťastný začátek a jen velmi málo šťastných událostí mezi tím. Je to proto, že v životě tří sourozenců Baudelairových se přihodilo jen málo šťastných věcí. Violet, Klaus a Sunny byli chytré děti, milé a bystré, ale byli nesmírně nešťastné. Téměř všechno, co se jim přihodilo, přinášelo smůlu, trápení, zoufalství a beznaděj. Dalo by se říci, že útrapy přitahují jako magnet: zničující požár, škaredé oblečení, studená ovesná kaše k snídani, chladnokrevný zlosyn a úklady, které je mají připravit o majetek. Mrzí mě a omlouvám se, že vám to vyprávím, ale jejich příběh musím vylíčit podle pravdy a nic nezamlčet. S veškerou úctou Lemony Snicket.

Děti si ho okamžitě oblíbí. Nechá je, aby si každé z nich vybralo svůj vlastní pokoj, a oznámí jim, že s ním pojedou na výlet do Peru, kde budou studovat hady. U strýčka se mají všichni tři dobře, ale bohužel jen do té doby, než se objeví nový pomocník. Sourozencům Baudelairovým je okamžitě jasné, kdo se za jménem Stephano skrývá.

The Blues Brothers: An Epic Friendship, the Rise of Improv, and the Making of an American Film Classic - de Visé Daniel
The Blues Brothers hit theatres on June 20, 1980. Their scripted mission was to save a local Chicago orphanage; but Aykroyd, who conceived and wrote much of the film, had a greater mission: to honour the then-seemingly forgotten tradition of rhythm and blues, some of whose greatest artists - Aretha Franklin, James Brown, John Lee Hooker, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles - made the film as unforgettable as its wild car chases. Much delayed and vastly over budget, beset by mercurial and oft drugged-out stars, The Blues Brothers opened to outraged reviews. However, in the 44 years since it has been acknowledged a classic: inducted into the National Film Registry for its cultural significance, even declared a Catholic classic by the Church itself, and re-aired thousands of times on television to huge worldwide audiences. It is, undeniably, one of the most significant films of the 20th century.The saga behind The Blues Brothers, as Daniel de Vise reveals, is epic, encompassing the colourful childhoods of Belushi and Aykroyd; the comedic revolution sparked by Harvard s Lampoon and Chicago s Second City; the birth and anecdote-rich, drug-filled early years of Saturday Night Live, where the Blues Brothers were born as an act amidst turmoil and rivalry; and, of course, the indelible behind-the-scenes narrative of how the film was made, scene by memorable scene. Based on original research and dozens of interviews probing the memories of principals from director John Landis and producer Bob Weiss to Aykroyd himself, The Blues Brothers illuminates an American masterpiece while vividly portraying the creative geniuses behind modern comedy.

Tyranny of the Minority: How to Reverse an Authoritarian Turn, and Forge a Democracy for All - Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt
How has democracy become so threatened – and what can we do to save it?With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, How Democracies Die, a global bestseller, leading Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer a coherent new framework for understanding the dangerous times we live in. They draw on a wealth of examples – from the Capitol riots to Edwardian Britain, from 1930s France to present-day Thailand – to explore right-wing efforts to undermine the very foundations of the American political system, and to explain why and how political parties turn against democracy. With its attention on factors from election losses to demographic change and voting rights, its urgent call for a reform of our politics to balance the need for majority rule with the need for minority protections, and a citizens’ movement to put enough pressure on lawmakers to act before it’s too late, Tyranny of the Minority is a must-read for everyone keen to see more vibrant democracy – and to understand where future threats may come from.

Traveling across the landscapes of time and of space, heading always west, and carrying a dead but laconically opinionated crow in her chest, our undead narrator encounters and loses parts of her body and her self in one terrifying, hilarious, and heartbreaking situation after another. A tale for our dispossessed times, and one of the sharpest and funniest novels of recent years, It Lasts Forever and Then Itâ ™s Over plumbs mortality and how it changes everything, except possibly love.

Richer and More Equal - Daniel Waldenstrom
Once there were princes and peasants and very few between. The extremes of wealth and poverty are still with us, but that shouldn t blind us to the fact our societies have been utterly transformed for the better over the past century. As Daniel Waldenström makes clear in this authoritative account of wealth accumulation and inequality in the modern west, we are today both significantly richer and more equal.  Using cutting-edge research and new, sometimes surprising, data, Waldenström shows that what stands out since the late 1800s is a massive rise in the size of the middle class and its share of society⠙s total wealth. Unfettered capitalism, it seems, doesn⠙t have to lead to boundless inequality. The key to progress was political and institutional change that enabled citizens to become educated, better paid, and to amass wealth through housing and pension savings. Waldenström asks how we can consolidate these gains while encouraging the creation of new capital. The answer, he argues, is to pursue tax and social policies that raise the wealth of people in the bottom and middle rather than cutting wealth of entrepreneurs at the top.  Richer and More Equal is a benchmark account of one of the most profound and encouraging social changes in human history and a blueprint for continued progress.

Formula One The Circuits: Then and Now - Frank Hopkinson
Formula One: The Circuits Then Now is unique and compelling history and guide to some of the classic grand prix tracks. By pairing vintage images with the same viewpoint today, readers can see how dramatically Formula One has changed over the years, from the cavalier attitude to danger of the past, to the sophisticated modern sport we see today.In the 1950s, all that prevented cars from entering Monaco Harbour were some straw bales, there was no pitlane, and races weren’t stopped for burning cars. Today, Armco and catch-fencing line the harbourside, cranes winch cars to safety in seconds and Tecpro barriers protect the most dangerous corners. This book includes many historic aspects of F1 from the beautifully preserved pit buildings of Reims to the great temples of Speed at Monza and Spa-Francorchamps, three race venues from Formula 1’s debut season in 1950. At Monza, the lethal concrete banking has made way for a flat-out road track with chicanes, while Spa has cut the dangerous ‘Burnenville’ corner and moved its pit buildings and startline. Reims’ stopped hosting races in the 1960s and the infamous Muzon corner now lies under a farmer’s field.Other legendary circuits, such as the Nürburgring’s ‘Green Hell’, are pictured before they became too dangerous to race on, along with Pescara, an F1 race through the Abruzzo Hills, given special permission to run by the Italian government after the Mille Miglia tragedy of 1957. Compare the old Österreichring before it was cut down to size as the Red Bull Ring, and see Silverstone complete with the hangar that gave rise to the ‘Hangar Straight’. In the United States, there is the original Long Beach circuit, Watkins Glen with its flamboyant race starter, the Las Vegas grand prix that lasted only two years, along with F1’s ill-fated Indianapolis adventure.
