The Spiritual Child: The New Science on Parenting for Health and Lifelong Thriving	Macmillan Publishers
Автор: Lisa J. Miller Издательство: Macmillan Publishers, 2015	PDF, 384 страницы, 11.52 МБ 0 Оценка:
In The Spiritual Child, psychologist Lisa Miller presents the next big idea in psychology: the science and the power of spirituality. She explains the clear, scientific link between spirituality and health and shows that children who have a positive, active relationship to spirituality: — are 40% less likely to use and abuse substances; — are 60% less likely to be depressed as teenagers; — are 80% less likely to have dangerous or unprotected sex; — have significantly more positive markers for thriving including an increased sense of meaning and purpose, and high levels of academic success. Combining cutting-edge research with broad anecdotal evidence from her work as a clinical psychologist to illustrate just how invaluable spirituality is to a child's mental and physical health, Miller translates these findings into practical advice for parents, giving them concrete ways to develop and encourage their children's — as well as their own — well-being. In this provocative, conversation-starting book, Dr. Miller presents us with a pioneering new way to think about parenting our modern youth.

Alibaba's World: How a Remarkable Chinese Company is Changing the Face of Global Business	Macmillan Publishers
Автор: Erisman Porter Издательство: Macmillan Publishers, 2015	PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ 8 Оценка:
A former VP at Alibaba Group, and creator of a documentary about its origins, offers an inside glimpse at the behemoth that is poised to transform the ecommerce world. What is as powerful as Google, more popular than Facebook, and more economically disruptive than Amazon and eBay combined? Alibaba operates the world's biggest online shopping mall, with 600 million registered users (Amazon has roughly 200 million). It executes about 80% of China's e-commerce transactions and generates nearly 70% of all packages in China, making up close to 2% of China's GDP. And its marketplaces include another 60 million small and medium-size business users spread over 200 countries. This Chinese company is poised to make its global debut with an IPO that could be the largest in history. But what is Alibaba? How does it work? And why should we be paying attention? Porter Erisman shows how Jack Ma, a charismatic Chinese schoolteacher, rose from obscurity to revolutionize commerce in China, and now the world. He shares stories of weathering the dotcom crash, facing down eBay and Google, negotiating with the Web-phobic Chinese government, and enduring the misguided advice of foreign experts, all to build the behemoth that's poised to sweep the ecommerce world today. And he analyzes Alibaba's role as a harbinger of the new global business landscape — with its focus on the East rather than the West, emerging markets over developed ones, and the nimble entrepreneur over the industry titan. As we face this near future, the story of Alibaba-and its inevitable descendants — is both essential and instructive.

Baghdad Sketches: Journeys Through Iraq	Macmillan Publishers
Автор: Stark Freya Издательство: Macmillan Publishers, 2011	PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ 0 Оценка:
Freya Stark first journeyed to Iraq in 1927. Seven years after the establishment of the British Mandate, the modern state was in its infancy and worlds apart from the country it has since become. During her many years in Iraq, Stark was witness to the rise and fall of the British involvement in the country as well as the early years of independence. Typically — and controversially — she chose to live outside the close-knit western expatriate scene and immersed herself in the way of life of ordinary Iraqis — living in the native quarter of the city and spending time with its tribal sheikhs and leaders. Venturing out of Baghdad, she traveled to Mosul, Nineveh, Tikrit and Najaf, where she perceptively describes the millennia-old tensions between Sunni and Shi'a. In the 1940s she returned again, this time traveling south, to the Marsh Arabs, whose way of life has now all but disappeared; north into Kurdistan and later, Kuwait, in the days before the oil boom.

Zizek: A Guide for the Perplexed	Macmillan Publishers
Автор: Sheehan Sean Издательство: Macmillan Publishers, 2012	PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ 5 Оценка:
This is an up-to-date guide to the key ideas and writings of one of the most widely-read Cultural Theorists working today. One of the most widely-read thinkers writing today, Slavoj Zizek's work can be both thrilling and perplexing in equal measure. Zizek: A Guide for the Perplexed is the most up-to-date guide available for readers struggling to master the ideas of this hugely influential thinker. Unpacking the philosophical references that fill Zizek's writings, this book explores his influences from Hegel, Kant and Marx, through to his use of Lacanian psychoanalytic concepts. From there, a chapter on 'Reading Zizek' guides the reader through the ways that Zizek applies these core theoretical concepts to his discussions of such issues as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the figure of Christ in contemporary culture. In addition, the book also includes guides to the Slovenian philosopher's key texts — from The Sublime Object of Ideology through to his film The Pervert's Guide to Cinema — and major secondary writings and online resources. Continuum's Guides for the Perplexed are clear, concise and accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can find especially challenging — or indeed downright bewildering. Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to grasp, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding material.

The Real Life of Anthony Burgess	Macmillan Publishers
Автор: Biswell Andrew Издательство: Macmillan Publishers, 2007	PDF, 400 страниц, 12.00 МБ 8 Оценка:
Winner of the Portico prize 2006, Anthony Burgess has always attracted acclaim and notoriety in roughly equal measure. He is admired for his literary novels, but known to a wider audience as the author of the ultra-violent shocker, A Clockwork Orange. Burgess was a brilliant polymath, a composer, and a man for whom chaos and creativity, fact and fiction, existed in a complex and unique balance. Drawing on his fraught relationships with publishers, friends and his first wife, as expressed in interviews, unpublished writings, letters and diaries, The Real Life of Anthony Burgess reveals both the professional writer and the private man as he has never been seen before. The Real Life of Anthony Burgess is the biography all Burgess fans have been waiting for and which the great man himself richly deserves: revelatory, scrupulous, sincere and fascinating — William Boyd, Books of the Year Guardian. Biswell's absorbing new life... is a work of scholarship, understanding and sympathetic portraiture — Observer. He has shed great light on a writer, his personality and his work. This is a biography of the highest class — Herald. As the first Burgess biography of any consequence it is long overdue — Sunday Telegraph. The Real Life of Anthony Burgess was shortlisted for the inaugural Glen Dimplex New Writers' Award.

Summer at Shell Cottage	Macmillan Publishers

The Tarrant family have been holidaying in a large seaside house in Devon every summer for years. Though children, Freya and Robert, are grown up now, and have families of their own, the tradition has continued. But this year things are heartbreakingly changed: patriarch Alec has died suddenly after forty happy years of marriage to Olivia. Now retired and widowed, Olivia is persuaded that going back to Devon is just the distraction she needs. It will also give her the peace and quiet to work through a confusing clause in Alec's will: he's left a sum of money to a mysterious Leo Browne, someone she's never heard of before... Freya also needs to get away from it all. She's struggling with her work, her marriage and the loss of her beloved dad and it doesn't help that her husband is so distant. Her brother Robert seems to have a better handle on things, with a new family and exciting career to boast of. But the truth is far from rosy. Over one last summer at Shell Cottage, the Tarrants may just find that family life is rarely postcard-perfect, but are they strong enough to weather the storms?

His wife Emma, chairman of Barrington Shipping, is facing the repercussions of the IRA attack on the Buckingham. Some board members feel she should resign, and Lady Virginia Fenwick will stop at nothing to cause Emma's downfall. Sir Giles Barrington is now a minister of the Crown, and looks set for even higher office, until an official trip to Berlin does not end as a diplomatic success. Once again, Giles's political career is thrown off balance by none other than his old adversary, Major Alex Fisher, who once again stands against him at the election. But who wins this time?
