Recommended by the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy as an exemplary informational text. For the captains of industry men like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, and Henry Ford the Gilded Age is a time of big money. Technology boomed with the invention of trains, telephones, electric lights, harvesters, vacuum cleaners, and more. But for millions of immigrant workers, it is a time of big struggles, with adults and children alike working 12 to 14 hours a day under extreme, dangerous conditions. The disparity between the rich and the poor was dismaying, which prompted some people to action. In An Age of Extremes, you'll meet Mother Jones, Ida Tarbell, Big Bill Haywood, Sam Gompers, and other movers and shakers, and get swept up in the enthusiasm of Teddy Roosevelt. You'll also watch the United States take its greatest role on the world stage since the Revolution, as it enters the bloody battlefields of Europe in World War I.About the Series: Master storyteller Joy Hakim has excited millions of young minds with the great drama of American history in her award-winning series A History of US. Recommended by the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy as an exemplary informational text, A History of US weaves together exciting stories that bring American history to life. Hailed by reviewers, historians, educators, and parents for its exciting, thought-provoking narrative, the books have been recognized as a break-through tool in teaching history and critical reading skills to young people. In ten books that span from Prehistory to the 21st century, young people will never think of American history as boring again.

Why would a talented young woman enter into a torrid affair with hunger, drugs, sex, and death? Through five lengthy hospital stays, endless therapy, and the loss of family, friends, jobs, and all sense of what it means to be "normal," Marya Hornbacher lovingly embraced her anorexia and bulimia -- until a particularly horrifying bout with the disease in college put the romance of wasting away to rest forever. A vivid, honest, and emotionally wrenching memoir, Wasted is the story of one woman's travels to reality's darker side -- and her decision to find her way back on her own terms.

"Noted literary critic Harold Bloom thinks Mason & Dixon is Pynchon's best book, but that's just a start. Not only does it contain all of the writer's typical density and erudition, it's arguably his most humane depiction of relationships. The title pair are rendered caringly and movingly, and with a lot of humor. The book is a buddy movie, and it's warm and full of earnestness and narratively propulsive once you immerse yourself in its use of 18th-century language. And it is this narrative device-a full immersion in 18th-century language, history, and culture-paired with Pynchon's typical breadth of vocabulary and knowledge that demands a companion. In A Mason & Dixon Companion, Brett Biebel offers contextual maps and photographs, episode-by-episode summaries, and page-by-page annotations explaining allusions, defining obscure vocabulary, and illuminating the book's major themes. The goal is to help readers work their way through a difficult yet remarkably rewarding novel from one of American literature's most significant writers. A Mason & Dixon Companion is so full of friendship, humor, and life, and Pynchon's use of history and language is so carefully chosen that, by the end of the novel, the 18th-century feels closer than ever. Or, at least it should. All of the book's archaic vocabulary and obscure references, its unexplained name-drops and sudden scene-shifts, it's all there to constantly remind us of the importance of paying attention. This Companion aims to help readers in their quest to pay attention"--

11-årige Gus er populær både i skolen og på ishockeyholdet, hvor han er en af de bærende kræfter. Holdet klarer sig godt og er nået til finalen, men Gus har svært ved at koncentrere sig om spillet, for hjemme i familien lurer katastrofen. Gus bærer på en hemmelighed, ingen må vide noget om. Forældrene skændes, en skilsmisse truer, og Gus forsøger at redde stumperne ved at dække over sin far. Men det er kun et spørgsmål om tid, før sandheden river dem fra hinanden.Denne hjerteskærende børneroman er en videreudvikling af Jesper Troelstrups film af samme navn.

En kvinde forsvinder. Hendes mand mistænkes. Sandheden vil gøre dig …ÅNDELØSMens Andrew Mason er på fisketur en weekend, forsvinder hans hustru, Brie, sporløst. De fleste formoder, at Andy er den skyldige – for det er altid ægtemanden, er det ikke? – men politiet er ikke i stand til at rejse tilstrækkeligt med beviser mod ham. Andy går i hundene nogle år – han drikker for meget i et forsøg på at holde sorgen på afstand, og alle hans venner på nær én forsvinder.Nu er der gået seks år, og Andy har omsider fået styr på sit liv. Han har solgt det hus, han tidligere delte med Brie, og er flyttet væk. Han er godt i gang med at slå rødder sammen med sin nye kæreste, Jayne, og livet er godt.Men snart går Andys rolige liv op i sømmene. En dag dukker en kvinde op på hans gamle adresse og begynder at råbe forvirret op, da hun ser det nye hus, der er blevet bygget på grunden. Og så forsvinder kvinden – som har en slående lighed med Brie – lige så pludseligt, som hun kom. Politiet bliver underrettet, og så begynder gamle spørgsmål – og dunkle mistanker – at dukke op til overfladen igen.Kan det virkelig tænkes, at Brie er i live så mange år senere? Og hvis hun er, hvor har hun så været? Inden længe står det klart, at Andy er nødt til at finde ud af, hvad pokker der foregår – af hensyn til fremtiden for både ham selv og dem, han holder af. Spørgsmålet er bare, om han kan holde sig i live længe nok til at finde svarene.---“Åndeløs er velkomponeret og fuld af overraskelser. Det, som hæver den over andre krimihistorier om forsvundne ægtefæller, er mr. Barclays evne til at få læseren til ikke bare at tro på karaktererne men også holde af dem.” - Wall Street Journal”Muligvis det mest komplekse og urovækkende af Linwood Barclays værker indtil nu.” - Toronto Star“Linwood Barclay demonstrerer endnu en gang, at han er en mester udi fortælling, struktur og spænding. Åndeløs fik mig til at gætte med og læse hele natten, og alligevel regnede jeg først det hele ud til sidst. Gribende, tempofyldt og overraskende – han løj ikke, jeg var åndeløs.” - David Koepp“Barclay har struktureret Åndeløs mesterligt – et par ledetråde her, en afsløring der, et par vildledninger og et spor, som vil afgøre, hvor nøje læseren har fulgt med. Hvis man tror, at man har regnet det hele ud, har man ikke regnet noget som helst ud.” - Winnipeg Free Press”Medrivende … Man bliver suget ind i fortællingen lige fra første kapitel.” - AARP Magazine”En læseoplevelse i særklasse. Forfatteren får os til at gætte med helt frem til slutningen … Motiver bliver antydet, og hemmeligheder afsløret, lige til vi når afslutningen, der vil få dig til at falde bagover.” - Booklist”På vanlig Barclay-manér er delplots og karakterer vævet sammen til en stramt fortalt, tilfredsstillende historie. Oplagt til fans af spændingsromaner af Harlan Coben og Lisa Gardner." - Library Journal“En thriller, man bliver afhængig af. En af Barclays bedste.” - Kirkus Reviews”[En] velfortalt bog, der ikke er del af en serie … Barclay skifter mellem forskellige synsvinkler for at holde spændingen intakt … Alle er under mistanke, og de modstridende ledetråde falder omsider på plads som brikkerne i et puslespil. Barclay leverer som altid god underholdning.” - Publishers Weekly

In the early 1980s, Giselle Chin, Jackie Ong, and Ellen Ng are three teenagers drawn together by their shared sense of alienation and desire for something different. "Allied in the weirdest parts of themselves," they envision each other as artistic collaborators and embark on a future defined by freedom and creativity.By the time they are adults, their dreams are murkier. As a performance artist, Giselle must navigate an elite social world she never conceived of. As a coder thrilled by the internet's early egalitarian promise, Jackie must contend with its more sinister shift toward monetization and surveillance. And as a community activist, Ellen confronts the increasing gentrification and policing overwhelming her New York City neighbourhood. Over time their friendship matures and changes, their definitions of success become complicated, and their sense of what matters evolves.Moving from the pre-digital 1980s to the art and tech subcultures of the 1990s to a strikingly imagined portrait of the 2040s, Memory Piece is an innovative and audacious story of three lifelong friends as they strive to build satisfying lives in a world that turns out to be radically different from the one they were promised.

An Instant New York Times Bestseller“A knockout collection. ... Sharp-edged satire deceptively wrapped like a box of Neuhaus chocolates, Table for Two is a winner.” —The New York Times “Superb ... This may be Towles’ best book yet. Each tale is as satisfying as a master chef’s main course, filled with drama, wit, erudition and, most of all, heart.” —Los Angeles Times   Millions of Amor Towles fans are in for a treat as he shares some of his shorter fiction: six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Golden Age Hollywood. The New York stories, most of which take place around the year 2000, consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages. In Towles’s novel Rules of Civility, the indomitable Evelyn Ross leaves New York City in September 1938 with the intention of returning home to Indiana. But as her train pulls into Chicago, where her parents are waiting, she instead extends her ticket to Los Angeles. Told from seven points of view, “Eve in Hollywood” describes how Eve crafts a new future for herself—and others—in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets, bungalows, and dive bars of Los Angeles. Written with his signature wit, humor, and sophistication, Table for Two is another glittering addition to Towles’s canon of stylish and transporting fiction.

Modern people say that man should feed with varied food to live. It is true that man should eat, but what to eat? If it concerns the bee, it feeds with honey. The wolf feeds with meat, the sheep - with grass. What with feeds man? Nature has strictly defined who with what should feed himself. To man it has defined to feed with fresh pure food, which is difficult to decompose. The cuisine of modern people is unnatural. It has deviated from natural cuisine and as a result people are exposed to various diseases and sufferings. One day when they get in touch with rational nature and obey its laws it will give to each living creature whatever the creature wishes. Nature knows how to give and how to satisfy the wishes of all living creatures. There is a law in nature stating that if someone wants something nature satisfies his wish.

The book includes 5 lectures, delivered in 1914 by the Bulgarian spiritual Teacher Beinsa Duno (1864-1944). According to Beinsa Duno, 1914 is a memorable year in the history of the Earth. It marks the beginning of e new cosmic cycle on Earth, in which new conditions emerge for great spiritual impulses to arise and give an impetus to the progress of humankind for thousands of years to come. Such impetuses reveal the Cosmic Plan in new and unique ways and manifest through major positive changes in Intelligent Nature. In the course of 50 years the Master Beinsa Duno held about 4,000 lectures. All aspects of human life: personal, family and social, in relation both to the spiritual and physical, to the mundane and transcendental in the various fields of science, religion and art have been illuminated by Beinsa Duno and introduce the readers of his books to a way of modern spirituality. It includes new care of our health, that we can learn from Nature, a new experience of music and sacred dance (Paneurhythmy), insights into basic laws of human life, a new vision of educating children, an awareness of the gifts of Love, and the way to work for a new social order that is based upon this Love. The greatest purpose of his lectures and talks is to give directions and methods for establishing a new culture on Earth in the new cosmic cycle. Beinsa Duno is speaking from a long spiritual tradition of a country that has brought forth two other mystical Schools in the past: the Schools of Orpheus (which led to Pythagoreanism and Platonism) and the 10th century Bogomils (known also as Cathars, considered to be the spiritual force behind the Western Europe Renaissance).

The law is: the parts go down and climb up, but the whole never climbs nor descends. On the basis of this law will come a day when the cells of the head will go down to the legs and the cells of the feet will get into the head. This can happen after thousands of years - is not important. In nature there is absolute equality. Even the highest cell can take the lowest service. And conversely: the most inferior cell can take the highest post. In nature, every job is important. The stomach, which deals with lower works, the first tries the goods of life. A lot of time has to pass, while the brain tries something these goods. When talking about the parts of the whole, we run up two important laws. The first law is: part can never be greater than the whole, the whole can be always greater than any part and equal to the sum of all its parts. The second law is: any whole can be as small as the sum of its parts, but can never be less than them. The whole can never be less than its parts. Indivisible represents the smallest value in the world. Of the unit as an indivisible, there can be no smaller value. All the struggle of modern society lies in the fact that people want to come out of the whole. However, this is impossible. Each part has some impact. And when I say that in mind we are different from one another, I understand that the general intelligence that works in us, it is the same. But the mind of the whole cannot fit in its part. In the premier occult mathematics the part may be equal to the whole, but cannot be greater than the whole. This is one situation. The whole can be greater than the part. This is the second position. That is where the difference is. Here lies the great need that limits the parts and they must obey. This is an inner desire to be like the whole, but we cannot be greater than the whole. Therefore, each man must move within that whole. The law of nature is: the Divine always comes in multitude, but realized only in unity. In human comes just one wish, but realize a lot and therefore human life is meaningless, ie in human life there is no unity. In the Divine life there is unity, so then everything is harmonized together. However, to understand this thought a line of arguments is required. Man can not simultaneously be loved by the world and by God, if the world loves him, the invisible world will not be interested in him, if the invisible world is interested in him, the world will hate him. Why the invisible world is not interested in man when the world loves him? Because the world is wealth, the invisible world does not want to deprive man of that wealth, does not want to split in two his consciousness. Being connected to the world, it implies to work hard throughout the year and at the end of the year to see that everything is beaten, killed by hail or taken away by a flood. You look here - you look there, there is nothing: neither cabbage, nor onions, nor potatoes, or beans. You are wondering what to do. Only now you see that all that which on which you have relied, has been an illusion.

This book is for anyone who wishes to live and eat without feeling burdened by the body, including those who have ever purged after eating too much because they couldn't manage safe boundaries around consumption. This is for anyone who wants to understand why, despite finding success in other areas of life, they still wind up feeling powerless around food. And it's for those who wake up morning after morning and ask themselves, despairingly, Why did I let myself do that again?Have you noticed that two major facets of our society, food and physical attractiveness, are unavoidably interdependent? Yet, in our culture, they betray each other constantly.I put this material together in honor of those of you who have spent your lifeblood - your thoughts, your emotions, your energy, your efforts, your resources, and your time - wrestling with the conundrum of food and body image in our culture. Part nurturer, part enemy, food has been a source of great puzzlement for you. Emotional eating and poor body image have cast a dark shadow over your life for too long.I hope that this book will help release you from the social myths and toxic behaviors that have robbed joy, health, and freedom from the fabric of your life experience. It is my sincerest wish that you gain clarity and freedom from this conundrum once and for all!You are my sisters and my brothers, and I love you!Natalia

Terapi for Mennesker i Uniform er en bog om, hvad det vil sige at være menneske bag uniformen, og de særlige udfordringer det rummer. Uanset om uniformen er blå, grøn, rød, hvid eller usynlig, er der et menneske i den, som kræver omsorg, forståelse og beskyttelse for at fungere optimalt. Noget vi ofte glemmer, fordi uniformens værdier, identitetsfølelse og intense dagligdag tager over. Men hvis ikke vi først og fremmest lærer at være menneske, risikerer vores psyke at lide et knæk, den dag livet i uniform hober sig op til noget, som vi ikke længere kan overskue. Det være sig stress, udbrændthed eller traumer.Med afsæt i sine mere end 18 år i politiet og i sin rolle som krise- og traumeterapeut fortæller Michael Molin om sin egen vej til selverkendelse, og de overvejelser han har måttet gøre sig for at blive et helt menneske igen efter sine egne traumer fra tjenesten. Samtidig giver han et unikt indblik i krise- og traumeterapien, og hvad den kan gøre for mennesker i uniform og deres pårørende. Ikke kun efter traumet er en realitet, men også som den altafgørende forebyggende indsats.

A carbon neutral future is possible - we have the technology to transform the global economy and guard against the worst effects of climate change. So how do we get to net zero?In The Way to Net Zero, entrepreneur and climate tech consultant Chris Goodall tackles sixteen challenges that we must overcome in making a just transition to carbon neutrality. He explores the technologies that will solve these challenges - from changing how steel, cement and fuel are made, to locking carbon in healthy soils, and from green hydrogen storage to building climate-resilient homes. With case studies and success stories from entrepreneurs across the globe, Goodall illustrates the incredible potential of a Net Zero future, as well as the determination we will need to overcome these problems.New tech featured includes Sweden's H2 Green Steel, California's Fortera cement substitute, Hong Kong garment-to-garment recycling, Finnish turbine company Coolbrook, Norwegian e-fuels, and Captura's innovative ocean CO2 capture.

This book highlights the key phases and central findings of Alzheimer¿s Disease research since the introduction of the label ¿Alzheimer¿s Disease¿ in 1910. The author, Christian Behl, puts dementia research in the context of the respective zeitgeist and summarizes the paths that have led to the currently available Alzheimer¿s drugs. As the reader is taken through the major developments in Alzheimer's Disease research, particularly over the past thirty years, Behl poses critical questions: Why are the exact causes of Alzheimer's Disease still in the dark, despite all the immense, worldwide research efforts in academia as well as in the pharmaceutical industry? Why has the majority of an entire research field kept focusing on a single hypothesis that establishes the deposition of the amyloid beta peptide in the brain as the key trigger of Alzheimer's pathology, even though this concept has still not been convincingly proven in the clinics? Are there other hypotheses that might explain the pathogenesis of this complex brain disease, and if so, why were these perspectives not adequately followed?In this book, Behl tries to answer these questions. Starting with the historical background, the author illustrates the long and arduous research journey, its numerous setbacks, and the many alternative explanations for the disease, which have started gaining increasing attention and acceptance in the Alzheimer¿s research community only more recently. With his deep dive into the history and progression of this research, including the most recent developments, Behl explains why he believes that it is high time to promote a paradigm shift in Alzheimer¿s Disease research.The book is written for all researchers in the fields of neurobiology and neurodegeneration, as well as other biomedical fields, who would like to gain a broad and beyond the surface insight into (the key developments of) one of the most promoted research fields of our time. With its extensive literature references and over 100 illustrations, the book is also attractive for students and interested lay persons. Elaborating on all the different aspects and research approaches of this research field, the author aims to convince the reader that the underlying causes of Alzheimer¿s Disease may be much more complex than previously thought and that this must be considered for future research directions. While he hopes that the Alzheimer¿s research community is finally ready to shed its ¿amyloid-straitjacket¿ that has hampered progress for too long, he is also convinced that a much-needed paradigm shift can guide future Alzheimer¿s Disease research and provide a new and broader perspective on this age-dependent brain disease.
