Jednou nohou v hrobe - Dominik Dán - audiokniha

Audiokniha: “Keď chcete chytiť skutočného vraha, treba ísť do ulíc! To sa od čias rady Vacátka nezmenilo.” Dominik Dán Každý nový prípad na oddelení vrážd sa začína tým, že nájdu rozstrieľanú alebo dobodanú mŕtvolu. Úlohou detektívov je ku každej mŕtvole vypátrať aspoň jedného možného páchateľa. Zvyčajne je to tak, ale v niektoré dni akoby sa celý svet pomiatol a všetko je naopak. Detektívi nájdu na smetisku pohodenú nohu a chýba im nielen vrah, ale aj zvyšok tela. Kým sa rozbehnú po horúcej stope, musia nájsť odpovede na základné otázky: Je to ženská, alebo mužská noha? Odrezali ju z mŕtvoly, alebo zaživa? Odrezal ju odborník, alebo je to hrubá mäsiarčina? A nezodpovedaná je aj najdôležitejšia otázka – kde je zvyšok tela? Hľadanie odpovedí je drina a všetkých iba zdržuje od pátrania po tom najdôležitejšom v celom prípade – po vrahovi s krvavou pílkou v šope. Aby toho nebolo dosť, Krauza rozboleli zuby, Chosému sa pohli močové kamene, Váňa v kancelárii skolaboval, lebo chudne a drží prísnu diétu, a šéf sa zbláznil. Chce zaviesť trojzmenný pracovný čas.

Jednou nohou v hrobě - Dominik Dán

Každý nový případ na oddělení vražd začíná tím, že najdou rozstřílenou nebo ubodanou mrtvolu. Úkolem detektivů je ke každé mrtvole vypátrat alespoň jednoho možného pachatele. Obvykle je to tak, ale v některých dnech jako by se celý svět pomátl a všechno je naopak. Detektivové najdou na smetišti pohozenou nohu a chybí jim nejen vrah, ale i zbytek těla. Než se rozeběhnou po horké stopě, musí najít odpovědi na základní otázky: je to ženská, anebo mužská noha? Odřízli ji mrtvole, anebo zaživa? Uřízl ji odborník, anebo je to sprostá řezničina? A nezodpovězená je i nejdůležitější otázka - kde je zbytek těla? Hledání odpovědí je dřina a všechny jen zdržuje od pátrání po tom nejdůležitějším v celém případu - po vrahovi s krvavou pilkou v kůlně. Aby toho nebylo dost, Krauze rozbolely zuby, Chosému se hnuly močové kameny, Váňa v kanceláři zkolaboval, neboť hubne a drží přísnou dietu, a šéf se zbláznil, chce zavést třísměnnou pracovní dobu.

10x Is Easier Than 2x - Benjamin Hardy, Dan Sullivan

Expanding upon one of his high-level foundational teachings: Strategic Coach co-founder Dan Sullivan explains why achieving 10X growth is easier than going for 2X growth.Dan Sullivan, the world''s leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think.10X is not the outcome; it''s a counterintuitive process you can apply every time you want exponential growth in your life and business. To make 10X possible, you must focus on expanding what Dan defines as your four most important freedoms—time, money, relationship, and purpose. As your time becomes 10X more valuable, you increasingly multiply the money you earn both in terms of amount and profitable satisfaction. As money becomes a tool you can increasingly access with greater ease, you will engage with a growing number of other freedom-motivated individuals. As both your professional and personal life fills up with 10X more unique and collaborative relationships, you will realize that your most powerful ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Oh, and I can reveal the Man With The Foulest Mouth In All Show Business. Plus assorted high-kicking hoopla and a whole lot of rather stark stuff about what it''s like to be told you could be On The Way Out. *** (SPOILER ALERT: I don''t actually die.)

Notes on Shapeshifting - Gabi Abro

Abrāo’s work has been described by The Outline as “an existential funhouse of familiar thoughts” that “publicly grapples with pillars of its own existence within the influencer economy.” Alongside The Outline, her work has been featured in publications such as The Atlantic, Dazed, The Harvard Crimson, and The Face, among others. In response to Abrāo’s work, Dazed Magazine wrote, “Gabi debunks the myth that wellness is the preserve of the privileged, and in doing so hands it back to the masses,” and Notes on Shapeshifting is a reminder that we are agents of the change that we seek. Gabi Abrāo’s Notes on Shapeshifting is an ode to existing in physical form, fully aware of the changing energy that flows through every aspect of it. As Abrāo writes, “tapping into the ether body to take a break from the demands of the earth body, / making peace with ephemerality, / lightness, / shapeshifting”. Throughout this collection, you are invited to travel through various states; pure infatuation to heartbreak, confidence to defeat, from a skepticism for living to a full-on trust in it. And Notes on Shapeshifting yearns to soothe and arouse along the way.

Notes On Nursing: What It Is, And What It Is Not

Florence Nightingale initially released her book Notes on Nursing: What it Is and What it Is Not in 1859. It was a 76-page book with a 3-page addendum that Harrison of Pall Mall published with the intention of providing nursing advice to people who were responsible for other people's health. Florence Nightingale emphasized that the book was intended to aid in the practice of caring for others rather than serve as a full manual for learning how to become a nurse. The Nightingale School of Nursing's then-director Joan Quixley stated in her introduction to the 1974 edition that despite the passage of time since the publication of Notes on Nursing, "The book astounds one with its applicability to contemporary attitudes and nursing skills, whether these are used by the "ordinary woman" at home, in a hospital, or in the community. The social, economic, and professional distinctions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in no way prohibit the young student or learner from developing if he or she is driven to do so, its unchanged fundamentals by way of intelligent thought and practice".

No Beast So Fierce - Dane Huckelbridge

The deadliest animal of all time meets the world''s most legendary hunter in a classic battle between man and wild. But this pulse-pounding narrative is also a nuanced story of how colonialism and environmental destruction upset the natural order, placing man, tiger and nature on a collision course.In Champawat, India, circa 1900, a Bengal tigress was wounded by a poacher in the forests of the Himalayan foothills. Unable to hunt her usual prey, the tiger began stalking and eating an easier food source: human beings. Between 1900 and 1907, the Champawat Man-Eater, as she became known, emerged as the most prolific serial killer of human beings the world has ever known, claiming an astonishing 436 lives.Desperate for help, authorities appealed to renowned local hunter Jim Corbett, an Indian-born Brit of Irish descent, who was intimately familiar with the Champawat forest. Corbett, who would later earn fame and devote the latter part of his life to saving the Bengal tiger and its habitat, sprang into action. Like a detective on the tail of a serial killer, he tracked the tiger’s movements, as the tiger began to hunt him in return.This was the beginning of Corbett’s life-long love of tigers, though his ...

In June 1862, Dostoevsky left Petersburg on his first excursion to Western Europe. Ostensibly making the trip to consult Western specialists about his epilepsy, he also wished to see firsthand the source of the Western ideas he believed were corrupting Russia. Over the course of his journey he visited a number of major cities, including Berlin, Paris, London, Florence, Milan, and Vienna. His impressions on what he saw, "Winter Notes on Summer Impressions", were first published in the February 1863 issue of Vremya (Time), the periodical he edited.

Commuting between English and French, Lauren Elkin chronicles a life in transit. From musings on Virginia Woolf and Georges Perec, to her first impressions in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, to the discovery of her ectopic pregnancy, her diary sketches a portrait of the author, not as an artist, but as a pregnant woman on a Parisian bus. In the troubling intimacy of public transport, Elkin queries the lines between togetherness and being apart, between the everyday and the eventful, registering the ordinary makings of a city and its people.
