Dreaming of Unicorns - Charlie Barlow

What does it take to build a high-growth business while navigating regulatory minefields, economic volatility and cultural barriers in some of the world''s most complex markets? In this fast-paced, eye-opening account, Charlie Barlow - entrepreneur and founder of pioneering telehealth company Health at Hand - takes you from San Francisco to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and even Iran, as he battles to scale his startup and build the business of his dreams. From venture-capital struggles to legal threats, demoralising setbacks to hard-won breakthroughs, this is not a polished tale of effortless success, but the unfiltered reality of entrepreneurship. Barlow relates his story with a refreshing honesty, wit and self-reflection and lays bare painful lessons he had to learn, along with the resilience needed to survive in the high-stakes startup world. Unlike books that paint founders as infallible geniuses, this story embraces failure as part of the journey - and, ultimately, its teller falls short of his stratospheric ambitions. But if you''re an entrepreneur - or thinking of becoming one - this is the handbook you never knew you needed. Learn from his achievements and mistakes, accelerate your journey towards success and discover what it truly takes to snag that most elusive of beasts - the unicorn.

It is a book about love, community, and life in rural Japan.Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2012: USA Winner, Best Japanese Cuisine Book"Our life centers on the farm and the field. We eat what we grow." --Nancy Singleton HachisuJapanese Farm Food offers a unique window into life on a Japanese farm through the simple, clear-flavored recipes cooked from family crops and other local, organic products. The multitude of vibrant images by Kenji Miura of green fields, a traditional farmhouse, antique baskets, and ceramic bowls filled with beautiful, simple dishes are interwoven with Japanese indigo fabrics to convey an intimate, authentic portrait of life and food on a Japanese farm. With a focus on fresh and thoughtfully sourced ingredients, the recipes in Japanese Farm Food are perfect for fans of farmers'' markets, and for home cooks looking for accessible Japanese dishes. Personal stories about family and farm life complete this incredible volume.American born and raised, Nancy Singleton Hachisu lives with her husband and teenage sons on a rural Japanese farm, where they prepare these 165 bright, seasonal dishes. The recipes are organized logically with the intention of reassuring you how easy it is to cook Japanese food. Not just a book about Japanese food, Japanese Farm Food is a book about love, life on the farm, and community. Covering everything from pickles and soups to noodles, rice, and dipping sauces, with a special emphasis on vegetables, Hachisu demystifies the rural Japanese kitchen, laying bare the essential ingredients, equipment, and techniques needed for Japanese home cooking."Nancy Hachisu is...intrepid. Outrageously creative. Intensely passionate. Committed. True and real. I urge you to cook from this book with abandon, but first read it like a memoir, chapter by chapter, and you will share in the story of a modern-day family, a totally unique and extraordinary one." --Patricia Wells"This book is both an intimate portrait of Nancy''s life on the farm, and an important work that shows the universality of an authentic food culture." --Alice Waters"The modest title Japanese Farm Food turns out to be large, embracing and perhaps surprising. Unlike the farm-to-table life as we know it here, where precious farm foods are cooked with recipes, often with some elaboration, real farm food means eating the same thing day after day when it’s plentiful, putting it up for when it''s not, and cooking it very, very simply because the farm demands so much more time in the field than in the kitchen. This beautiful, touching, and ultimately common sense book is about a life that''s balanced between the idea that a life chooses you and that you in turn choose it and then live it wholeheartedly and largely. Thank you, Nancy, for sharing your rich, intentional and truly inspiring life." --Deborah Madison"Nancy Hachisu’s amazing depth of knowledge of Japanese food and culture shines through in every part of this book. You will feel as if you live next door to her...savoring and learning her down-to-earth approach to cooking and to loving food." --Hiroko Shimbo"Taking a peek into Nancy Hachisu''s stunning Japanese Farm Food is like entering a magical world. It''s a Japan that used to be, not the modern Japan defined by the busyness of Tokyo, but a more timeless place, a place whose rhythms are set by seasons and traditions and the work of the farm. Japanese Farm Food is so much more than a cookbook. This book has soul. Every vegetable, every tool has a story. Who grew this eggplant? Who made this soy sauce? Nancy doesn''t have to ask, "Where does my food come from?" She knows. Here''s a woman who grows and harvests her own rice, grain by grain. Not that she asks or expects us to do the same at all. What she does offer is a glimpse into her life in rural Japan, with its shoji screens and filtered light, and recipes from her farm kitchen that you can''t wait to try." --Elise Bauer, SimplyRecipes.com"Japanese Farm Food is a lovely book about the culture, landscape, and food of Japan, a true insider''s view of the Japanese kitchen, from farm to table, by a passionate and talented writer." --Michael Ruhlman

Muž v hnědém obleku - Agatha Christie - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Anne Beddingfeldová, mladá a inteligentní žena se smyslem pro dobrodružství, se po náhlém skonu otce ocitne v tíživé situaci a přemýšlí, jak naložit se životem. Osud však rozhodne za ni, když se v londýnském metru stane svědkyní podivného úmrtí neznámého muže a nalezne lístek, který mrtvému sebral a poté poblíž místa nehody ztratil jiný, neméně záhadný muž. Brzy poté vyjde najevo, že nešťastná událost patrně souvisí s objevením uškrcené ženy v sídle člena parlamentu sira Eustace Pedlera. Anne se rozhodne přijít celé věci na kloub a stopy i náhoda ji zavedou na loď plující do Jižní Afriky... Muž v hnědém obleku (1924) je první přeložený román Agathy Christie do češtiny (1927). Autorka v něm s humorným nadhledem spojuje styl romantické četby se špionážně-kriminální linkou. Vedle hlavní hrdinky, emancipované a neohrožené dívky Anne se zde poprvé setkáváme s postavou plukovníka Race, kterému dala Agatha Christie prostor i ve svých dalších románech. Příběhu nechybí romantické kulisy, napětí (do poslední chvíle čtenář podezřívá několik postav), rozmanité dějové zápletky a v neposlední řadě všudypřítomný humor.

Agatha Christie’s Complete Secret Notebooks - John Curran

Agatha Christie’s Complete Secret Notebooks brings together for the first time Secret Notebooks and Murder in the Making, two volumes that explore the fascinating contents of her 73 notebooks. This includes illustrations, deleted extracts, unused ideas, two unpublished Poirot stories and a lost Miss Marple.When Agatha Christie died in 1976, aged 85, she had become the world''s most popular author. With sales of more than two billion copies worldwide in more than 100 countries, she had achieved the impossible – more than one book every year since the 1920s, every one a bestseller.So prolific was Agatha Christie''s output – 66 crime novels, 20 plays, 6 romance books under a pseudonym and over 150 short stories – it was often claimed that she had a photographic memory. Was this true? Or did she resort over those 55 years to more mundane methods of working out her ingenious crimes?Following the death of Agatha''s daughter, Rosalind, at the end of 2004, a remarkable secret was revealed. Unearthed among her affairs at the family home of Greenway were Agatha Christie''s private notebooks, 73 handwritten volumes of notes, lists and drafts outlining all her plans for her many books, plays and stories. Buried in this treasure trove, all in her unmistakable handwriting, are revelations and details that will fascinate anyone who has ever read or watched an Agatha Christie story.Christie archivist and expert John Curran leads the reader through the six decades of Agatha Christie''s writing career, unearthing some remarkable clues to her success and a number of never-before-published excerpts and stories from her archives. This book features Agatha''s original ending of her very first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, painstakingly transcribed from her notebooks. It also includes a number of short stories from the archives reproduced in full, including the unpublished The Man Who Knew, How I Created Hercule Poirot, and an early draft for a Miss Marple story, The Case of the Caretaker''s Wife.

Nekonečná noc - Agatha Christie - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Někdo se zrodí pro lásky sladkou moc, jiný se zrodí pro nekonečnou noc... Co přiřkl osud Ellie Goodmanové, závratně bohaté dědičce, která se rozhodla vdát za Michaela Rogerse, z pohledu jejích poručníků naprosto nevhodnou partii? Jaký osud čeká na Michaela, jenž touží po krásném domě? A co osud nadělil Gretě Andersonové, která své svěřence Ellii pomohla uniknout ze zlaté klece? Nad jejich životy se od počátku vznáší stín – místo zvané Cikánský revír, kde se manželé Rogersovi po svatbě usadí, je totiž prý prokleté…Agatha Christie považovala Nekonečnou noc za svůj nejoblíbenější román. Příběh je tentokrát spíš psychologicky laděný, připomíná styl Noir. Christie dokončila Nekonečnou noc za šest týdnů, zatímco většinu ostatních románů psala tři až čtyři měsíce. Přestože jí při psaní bylo přes sedmdesát let, v jednom rozhovoru řekla, že být Michaelem, dvacetiletým vypravěčem, "nebylo těžké. Koneckonců, lidi jako on slyšíte mluvit pořád".Překlad: Eva Hrubá, Režie a záznam zvuku: Daniel Tůma, Postprodukce a mastering: Ing.

How Stella Learned to Talk - Hunger Christina

An incredible, revolutionary true story and surprisingly simple guide to teaching your dog to talk from speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger, who has taught her dog, Stella, to communicate using simple paw-sized buttons associated with different words.When speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger first came home with her puppy, Stella, it didn't take long for her to start drawing connections between her job and her new pet. During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. At night, she wondered: If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn't they be able to say words to us? Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans?Christina decided to put her theory to the test with Stella and started using a paw-sized button programmed with her voice to say the word "outside" when clicked, whenever she took Stella out of the house. A few years later, Stella now has a bank of more than thirty word buttons, and uses them daily either individually or together to create near-complete sentences.How Stella Learned to Talk is part memoir and part how-to guide. It chronicles the journey Christina and Stella have taken together, from the day they met, to the day Stella "spoke" her first word, and the other breakthroughs they've had since. It also reveals the techniques Christina used to teach Stella, broken down into simple stages and actionable steps any dog owner can use to start communicating with their pets.Filled with conversations that Stella and Christina have had, as well as the attention to developmental detail that only a speech-language pathologist could know, How Stella Learned to Talk will be the indispensable dog book for the new decade.

Republican Rescue - Chris Christie

Enough with the infighting, the truth-denying, the wild conspiracy claims, the looking backward, and the refusal to focus on the dangerous Biden agenda. Here’s Chris Christie’s urgent guide for recapturing Republican glory and winning elections again, told with all the New Jersey frankness and news-breaking insights that have made the two-term governor and presidential candidate an indispensable voice and instant New York Times bestselling author. As governor of New Jersey and a key Trump insider and longtime friend, Chris Christie has always been known for speaking his mind. Now that the depressing 2020 election is finally behind us, he shares his bold insights on how a battered Republican Party can soar into the future and start winning big elections again. The wrong answers are everywhere. Dangerous conspiracy theorists. A tired establishment. Truth deniers and political cowards. In Republican Rescue, Christie reveals exactly how absurd grievances and self-inflicted wounds sabotaged Donald Trump’s many successes and allowed Democrats to capture the White House, the House, and Senate in two years—a first for the GOP since the days of Herbert Hoover. In his frank and compelling voice, Christie dissects the last year of the Trump administration—which provoked nothing but conspiracy theories and infighting—and he lays out an honest and hopeful vision, explaining how Republicans can capture the future and save America from today’s damaging Democratic excesses. The core Republican values of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan are as relevant now as they’ve ever been, Christie writes. Opportunity for all. A strong national defense. Leaders we can all be proud of. Americans in charge of their own lives. A federal government that answers to the people—not the other way around. But these Republican ideals need to be reinvigorated with fresh clarity and open arms. Christie watched in horror as some in his beloved party embraced paranoia and explained away violence. Determined to restore the party’s integrity and success, he shows how to build a movement voters will flock to again, a Republicanism that’s blunt, smart, conservative, potent, and perfectly suited for the 21st century.

Božský bastard - Christina Laurenová - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Ambiciózní praktikantka. Perfekcionistický šéf. A pořádná spousta šikany. Náročný, bezohledný… a naprosto neodolatelný! Božský Bastard. Chloe Millsová, zatraceně chytrá a pracovitá studentka obchodní administrativy, má jediný problém: svého šéfa, Bennetta Ryana. Je náročný, neomalený, bezohledný – a naprosto neodolatelný. Božský bastard. Bennett se vrátil z Francie do Chicaga, aby zaujal významný post v obrovském rodinném podniku. Vůbec nečekal, že ta asistentka, která mu v zahraničí na dálku pomáhala, je nádherné, nevinně provokativní – naprosto nesnesitelné – stvoření, se kterým se teď bude muset vídat každý den. Navzdory drbům nikdy nebyl příznivce románků na pracovišti. Jenže Chloe pro něj představuje takové pokušení, že je ochotný pravidla ohnout – nebo je rovnou poslat k čertu –, pokud to znamená, že bude jeho. Kdykoli a kdekoli. Když ovšem jejich vzájemná touha dostoupí zlomového bodu, budou se muset Bennett a Chloe rozhodnout, co všechno jsou ochotni obětovat, aby jeden druhého získali.

Agatha Christie - Gill Plain

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringAgatha Christie is a global bestseller. Her work has been translated into over 100 languages and adapted for stage and screen. Christie''s writing life ran from 1920 to the 1970s, and she didn''t just write puzzles, she wrote plays, supernatural stories, thrillers, satires, and domestic noir. She also commented obliquely but perceptively on the social and cultural changes of a troubled century. Christie''s work tells the story of a changing Britain, but perhaps her greatest achievement is not to be limited by that national context. Her stories achieve the rare feat of appearing both universal and specific and can seemingly be adapted for almost any context. This Very Short Introduction investigates why the novels of a middle-class, middlebrow Englishwoman were so successful, and why they continue to appeal to such a broad range of readers. Chapters explore the context of Christie''s writing, and the clue-puzzle detective fiction structure at which she excelled, but they also question the familiar assumptions that surround her and what we think we know about her work. Gill Plain examines Christie''s capacity to register the zeitgeist, and consider how her novels reveal anxieties surrounding gender roles, the family, war, justice, ethics, and nation. Her fascination with hypocrisy, power, abuse, deceit, and despair continues to resonate with readers - and screenwriters - who respond to her light touch and dark imagination to repurpose her stories with the fears and desires most appropriate to their time. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
