eBook: How strange and terrifying it must be to leave your home and journey to lands unknown to seek a better life. Bojer\'s novel tells of a group of young Norwegian villagers who decide to emigrate to North Dakota, where they find that \'breaking the sod and surviving blizzards\' is easier than feeling at home in this new land. It is a story of the hardships and joys, successes and setbacks, and perhaps most of all, the longing for both Norway and the US. These are the same feelings felt today by anyone that leaves the country they were born in to go and make a home in a new foreign place. It can be very hard to fit in and sometimes to be accepted for who you are by the local population. This isn’t a story about the grass being greener on the other side for this group of Norwegians, but rather the different ups and downs of life which they found over the Atlantic. The story in this novel is a story as well known among the emigrants that arrive today, as it was among the emigrants that arrived almost 100 years ago.

eBook: Norwegian fjords, ships, storms and a large shark that wants to take off your arm ...thank goodness our main character Peer manages to stab it with a knife!Peer is a young lad who, deserted by his parents, is tossed about like second-hand clothing from one foster home to the next. Surprisingly he demonstrates a tremendous amount of resilience in overcoming his social and economic standing, just like his creator and the author of this novel, Johan Bojer.This story examines how an individual\'s yearning for knowledge in science and religion causes problems, as many intellectuals in the early twentieth century thought them mutually exclusive. This leads Peer into many situations beyond his control.The hunger in the book\'s title has little to do with being starved of food and much to do with being starved of education and knowledge.Read this classic rags to riches story with an unexpected twist at the end!

eBook: What happens to your personality if you don\'t know who you really are? \'He was possessed by the idea of doing the most startling things in order to astonish his fellowmen. He loved to dazzle and amaze people.\' The Prisoner Who Sang portrays Andreas, an eccentric and village outcast. He is so lacking in his own identity that he takes on several different personalities and then accuses himself of murdering one of them. Andreas opportunistically takes on many disguises in real life such as an aristocrat and a businessman, and unfortunately crosses the line which leads to some time in prison. This is a humorous but ultimately tragic story of a lonely imaginative man. Johan Bojer (born Johan Kristoffer Hansen) was a popular Norwegian novelist and dramatist. He grew up as a foster child in a poor family living in Rissa near Trondheim, Norway. He learned early the realities of poverty. Bojer principally wrote about the lives of the poor farmers and fishermen, both in his native Norway and among the Norwegian immigrants in the United States. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times.

Motiv pro vraždu? Mickey ji údajně podváděl s její mladší sestrou Sophií. Sařin advokát Drew Greer je ale přesvědčený o její nevinně, a proto se obrátí na svého bývalého kolegu Jacka Irishe, aby případ prošetřil. Jack už dávno ví, že si ho trable umějí najít samy, a brzy zjišťuje, že ani s touhle prací se na tom nic nezmění. Okolnosti Mickeyho smrti totiž nejsou zdaleka tak jednoznačné, jak se tváří policie, a jít proti oficiálnímu vyšetřování znamená pustit se do křížku s mocnými lidmi na obou stranách zákona. Nejrozumnější by bylo celé to odpískat. Jenže to by Jack krásné umělkyni nesměl sám začít propadat… V minulosti už při několika podobných záležitostech málem přišel o krk.

Proto se zprvu ani příliš nesoustředí na zakázku od svého občasného zaměstnavatele Cyrila Woottona: najít jistého Robbieho Colburna. Věci však naberou na obrátkách, když Jack přijde na to, že zmizelý barman je už zřejmě mrtvý, a také, že jeho skutečným klientem je známý soudce Colin Loder. Toho ani tolik nezajímá sám Robbie jako fotoalbum, které mu ukradl. Fotoalbum, jehož zveřejnění by ukončilo Loderovu skvěle rozjetou kariéru a jímž se ho nyní někdo pokouší vydírat. V tomhle případu nikdo a nic není, jak se na první pohled zdá, a vše se ještě víc zkomplikuje, když na povrch začnou vyplouvat jména úplatných policistů, drsných ranařů i melbournské smetánky.

But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration which has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe.

This book will reveal how over 99% of the universe is made of plasma and how there are two gigantic clouds of plasma, called the Kordylewski Clouds, hovering between the Earth and the Moon, only recently discovered by astronomers in Hungary. Other revelations not previously known outside narrow academic disciplines include the evidence that in certain circumstances plasma exhibits features that suggest they may be in some sense alive: clouds of plasma have evolved double helixes, banks of cells and crystals, filaments and junctions which could control the flow of electric currents, thus generating an intelligence similar to machine intelligence.

eBook: Pro matematiku dvacátého století je příznačné, že její hlavní proud zkoumající a zároveň aplikující nekonečno, byť v bizarních ideálních světech, je založen na klasické Cantorově teorii nekonečných množin. Ta sama se pak opírá o problematický předpoklad existence množiny všech přirozených čísel, jehož jediné – a to navíc teologické – odůvodnění bývá zamlčováno a vytlačováno do kolektivního nevědomí. Kniha nejprve zkoumá teologické základy, z nichž klasická teorie množin vznikla a na nichž se rozvíjela. Autor varuje před nebezpečími skrytými v konstrukci teorie množin, která lze vysledovat v pracích některých významných matematiků, jakož i v jeho vlastních pracích. Poté předkládá argument o absurditě předpokladu existence množiny všech přirozených čísel. Autorem budovaná nová infinitní matematika není však jen pouhou negací současných názorů a předpokladů. Naopak, jeho teorie je vedena opatrnou snahou o nová překračování obzoru ohraničujícího antický geometrický svět a předmnožinovou matematiku a snaží se o těsnější korespondenci s přirozeným reálným světem kolem nás. Druhá polovina textu je věnována rehabilitaci nekonečně malých veličin i jejich zásadní role v matematické analýze.

eBook: Na světě je více než sedm miliard lidí – vrážíme do sebe v davu, nadáváme si v nekonečných kolonách aut, dokonce i v přírodě je čím dál těžší najít tiché zákoutí, kde bychom mohli být alespoň chvilku sami se sebou. Přesto se řada z nás cítí osamělá. Proč tomu tak je? Proč je stále složitější najít v přelidněném světě spřízněnou duši? V této knize najdete odpovědi na mnohé často kladené otázky. Je na vině moderní doba se svým důrazem na seberealizaci jednotlivců, s rozpadem tradiční rodiny a obrovskou fluktuací obyvatelstva? Anebo jsme to spíš my sami, protože nejsme schopni vytvářet blízké vazby, opakujeme ve vztazích stále tytéž chyby, popřípadě vůbec „nejsme stvořeni“ pro partnerství či život v rodině? Zamyslete se spolu s námi nad vykořeněním ve světě, zdánlivě dokonale propojeném prostřednictvím internetu a moderních technologií, či nad tím, jakou citovou daň platíme v neustálé honbě za osobním úspěchem. Rozebereme si působení rodičů a dětských traumat na naši schopnost utvářet vztahy k lidem a vysvětlíme si také rozdíly mezi extroverty a introverty, protože každý typ osobnosti přistupuje k problému osamělosti jinak. Na příkladu modelové rodiny, jejíž zajímavý a ryze současný příběh se vine celou knihou, se dozvíte, jak se ve své vlastní osamělosti zorientovat a překonat ji. Knihu pro její čtivost ocení široký okruh čtenářů. Zajímavé podněty a inspirace v ní najde i odborná veřejnost z okruhu psychologů, psychiatrů, koučů osobního rozvoje, pedagogů a pracovníků v pomáhajících profesích, včetně studentů těchto oborů.
