If ever there were Satanic Majesties of rock their name was Led Zeppelin. The band that out-sold the Rolling Stones and made Robert Johnson''s deals with the devil look like a playground game of conkers were as high, inflated and glorified as their namesake. In Stephen Davis''s scorching account of their phenomenally successful career, no aspect - however disquieting - is ignored. The narcotic, alcoholic and psychotic wreckage they wreaked, the disturbing influence of the notorious mage Aleister Crowley on lead guitarist Jimmy Page and the death of John Bonham are all recorded. Above all, the exultant, blazing charge of their music and its effects on Led Zeppelin and their fans is scrutinized. Hammer of the Gods by Stephen Davis is a fierce and fearless story about a band that remain a legend of musical, sexual and mystical power. It is the last word in rock ''n'' roll savagery.

A conspiracy to reach the heavens, and take down the corrupt and aging gods . . . who are already facing troubles of their own . . .

What kind of teacher are you? What values, beliefs and principles do successful teachers have and how do they sustain these in the face of challenging pupil behaviour?In this timely book, Stephen Baker contends that rigid punishment systems weaponize young people''s defiance against them and that punishment doesn''t work. He believes that teachers need to take responsibility for behaviour and to lead it, not just ''manage'' it, that we need to love the kids (even if we don''t like them), that children are people, thatweare an event intheirlives, and that teaching is a relationship-based activity.With each chapter followed by engaging ''takeaway tasks'',That Behaviour Bookwill allow teachers to rapidly improve both their practice and their relationships with pupils and classes. The book looks at the values that will sustain you as a teacher, how routines will help you teach better and what ''positive expectations'' really mean, making child-centred relational practice easy to apply in the classroom. Teachers will have a more realistic appreciation of their own situation and of the context in which they teach. In short, this book will help teachers learn how to get the very best out of their pupils.That Behaviour Bookis an essential guide for both the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Was macht eigentlich einen magischen Realisten, Phantasten, Surrealisten aus? Auf jeden Fall handelt es sich dabei um Schlüsselfiguren der tschechischen Literatur nach 1989. Als Philosoph neuer Welten, Denker des Möglichen und Unmöglichen nimmt Ajvaz die Einflüsse des Surrealismus, der absurden Grotesken und Experimente in sich auf. Als Reisender jenseits der Grenzen der Wirklichkeit. Als Autor all jener, die mit geschlossenen Augen träumen und dichten. Seine Literatur ist gleichzeitig Theater, Malerei und Film - und macht der Forderung "Alle Macht der Phantasie!" alle Ehre.

For millennia, Stoicism has been the ancient philosophy that attracts those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. And no wonder: its embrace of self-mastery, virtue and indifference to that which we cannot control has much to offer those grappling with today's chaotic world. But who were the Stoics? In this book, Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman offer a fresh approach to understanding Stoicism through the lives of the people who practiced it - from Cicero to Zeno, Cato to Seneca, Diogenes to Marcus Aurelius.Through short biographies of all the famous, and lesser-known, Stoics, this book will show what it means to live stoically, and reveal the lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. The result is a treasure trove of insights for anyone in search of living a good life.
