A kinai jövendőmondás titkai
A kínai jövendőmondás titkainak megfejtése kaput nyit ahhoz az élő hagyományhoz, melyet a kínai emberek évszázadok óta alkalmaznak életük és sorsuk feltérképezéséhez, de a kisebb horderejű dilemmák megválaszolásának technikáját is megmutatja.
Fedezzük fel a jövendőmondás ... Folytatás ›› ősi tradícióját:
- pace (nyolc karakter) születési képletet
- pacét kiegészítő asztrológiai kifejtést
- tenyérből, arcból és testből való jóslást
- az éves és a havi frissítéseket, amelyek napi problémáink megoldásához adnak tanácsot, és a jó, illetve rossz napokra
- alapoznak egy sor további jóslási technikát, köztük a Ji csinget, a Ven-su orákulumot és a tealevelekből történő jóslást.
A kínai sorselemzés lehetővé teszi, hogy körültekintően járjunk el a nehéz időszakokban, és bátran vállaljunk kockázatot, amikor ránk mosolyog a szerencse. Ha évről évre, hónapról hónapra, mi több naprakészen figyelemmel kísérjük, milyen kedvező vagy kedvezőtlen hatásoknak vagyunk kitéve, a lehető legjobban irányíthatjuk életünket.
A(z) A kinai jövendőmondás titkai Könyv szerzője Lillian Too.
Az új Ji Csing
Terveink megvalósításának sikere leginkább attól függ, hogy helyesen választjuk-e meg a cselekvés megfelelő idejét. A több mint 5000 éve nagy tiszteletben tartott Ji Csing évszázadok óta segít a tökéletes időzítés megválasztásában, és az emberek élet
ének irányításában. Lillian Too elmondja ebben a könyvben, hogyan használhatjuk a Ji Csinget a Szilvafavirág Jóslás módszerével. E jóslási módszer pontos válaszokat ad, és azon a meggyőződésen alapul, hogy nincsenek véletlenek. Meglepő találkozások,
váratlan telefonhívások, ha hirtelen meggondoljuk magunkat, és teljesen másképpen cselekszünk- ennek mind különleges jelentése van. A mindennapi jelenségek - találkozásaink és megfigyeléseink - értelmének megfejtéséhez rá kell hangolódnunk a világegy
etemből érkező jelzésekre. Az új Ji Csing megtanít bennünket a világegyetem üzeneteinek észlelésére és megfejtésére. Elmagyarázza, hogyan kérjünk tanácsot a jóskönyvtől, és hogyan értelmezzük a kapott válaszokat. Bármilyen döntést kell hoznod, a Ji C
sing segítségével nyugodt lélekkel tervezheted az életed.
Breakfast, Lunch, Tea: The Many Little Meals of Rose Bakery
The Rose Bakery is a small Anglo-French restaurant, shop and bakery, tucked away in a street near the Gare du Nord in Paris. This book introduces this hidden gem and the philosophy and style of its creator Rose Carrarini to a wider audience for the first time. Beautifully illustrated with more than 100 specially commissioned photographs, and featuring 100 of Rose's most popular recipes, this book is as much a treat for the eye as for the taste buds. The unique style and atmosphere of Rose Bakery, as well as the people who prepare, buy and eat the food that is made here, are captured in Toby Glanville's evocative photographs. The images show everything from the first preparations for breakfast and gearing up for the lunchtime rush to the final customers lingering over a piece of cake and a last cup of coffee in the late afternoon. Rose Carrarini became a pastry chef because neither she nor the customers of Villandry, the 'epicerie fine' she set up in London with her husband Jean-Charles in 1988, could find the pastries and desserts they wanted anywhere else. Now based in Paris, Rose has been serving simple, fresh and natural food that blurs the boundaries between home and restaurant cooking at Rose Bakery since 2002. Over 90 per cent of the products sold in the shop and served in the cafe are made on the premises with the best ingredients: Rose uses as much organic and locally sourced produce as possible, and has reduced the sugar content in her cake recipes to make them healthier without sacrificing flavour, texture or pleasure. Rose Carrarini's approach to food and hospitality has proved to be very popular with the locals, who crowd into the shop on weekdays, choosing from the lunchtime display of salads, vegetable tarts and pastries displayed on the shop's counter, and line up on weekend mornings for a full English breakfast or a plate of pancakes. This book will make the flavours and style of Rose Bakery accessible for people outside Paris, too.

Too Late to Awaken
The most provocative philosopher of our times returns with a rousing and counterintuitive analysis of our global predicament
We hear all the time that it's five minutes to global doomsday, so now is our last chance to avert disaster. But what if the only way to prevent a catastrophe is to assume that it has already happened - that we're already five minutes past zero hour?
Why do we seem unable to avert our course to self-destruction? Too Late to Awaken sees Slavoj Žižek deliver his most forceful, hopeful account of our discontents yet. Surveying the interlocking crises we currently face - global warming, war, famine, disease - he points us towards the radical, emancipatory politics that we need in order to halt our drift towards disaster.
Pithy, urgent and witty, Žižek's diagnosis reveals our current geopolitical nightmare in a startling new light, and shows why, in order to change our future, we must reimagine our past.
Funk You Too!
The first book to connect the history of Funk Art to contemporary ceramic practice.
Funk You Too! arrives at a moment when clay has unprecedented currency in the art world as a sculptural medium. It is the first book to connect the history of Funk Art to contemporary ceramic practice through an exploration of the enduring role of humor in clay image-making. The founding generation of Funk artists used forms of subversion to deflate the power of the aesthetic hierarchy that dismissed ceramics as hobby art. Today, in the hands of a younger, more diverse cohort, the irreverent approach is a powerful tool of critique and personal expression and the “spoonful of sugar” to help discuss sociopolitical concerns of our time.
Showcasing over fifty works from a 2023 exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City, this catalog addresses the historical context for the emergence of ceramic sculpture in 1960s Funk Art and applies a critical lens to work by its contemporary successors. The exhibition’s curator, Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy, conceptually frames the exhibition’s emphasis on humor as a tool for tackling personal and political themes. Garth Johnson contributes an essay on the impulse for humor in American ceramics that lead to Funk ceramics. The catalog also features biographies of the artists, color images, and a select bibliography.

Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud
'In a time when women are under constant attack, I am so grateful for Anne Helen Petersen's sharp and topical book. Petersen nails the magnetism of women who break boundaries and the punishment that often comes along with it. All women will see a bit of themselves in the "unruly"' Jessica Valenti, New York Times-bestselling author of Sex Object
You know the type: the woman who won't shut up, who flaunts it, who's too brazen, too opinionated - too much. Sometimes, she's the life of the party; others, she's the focus of gossip. She's the unruly woman, and she's one of the most provocative, powerful forms of womanhood today.
The unruly woman has been around for as long as there have been boundaries of what constitutes acceptable 'feminine' behaviour - that is, for ever - but these days she is more visible and less easily dismissed than ever before. In Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud, cultural critic and Buzzfeed writer Anne Helen Petersen explores 'unruliness' through the lens of eleven pop culture powerhouses, including Serena Williams, Melissa McCarthy, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Kim Kardashian, Hillary Clinton, Caitlyn Jenner and Lena Dunham. Petersen examines why our culture loves to love and berate these controversial figures for being 'too' something: too queer, too strong, too naked, too old, too shrill, too much. This is an incisive, candid, conversation starting analysis of the part influential women play in redefining contemporary femininity.

Too Much of Life
This exhilarating collection of non-fiction sees one of the greatest twentieth-century writers meditating on the moments that make up a life
'How did I so unwittingly transform the joy of living into the great luxury of being alive?'
Between 1967 and 1977, the internationally renowned author Clarice Lispector wrote weekly dispatches from her desk in Rio for the Jornal do Brasil. Already famous for her revolutionary, interior, metaphysical novels and short stories, in her Chronicles she turned her attention to the everyday, reshaping the material of her life into profound, touching and funny, tiny revelations.
Observing the world around her, small encounters like hearing tales of the lost loves of a taxi driver, or the bitterness lurking beneath the prettiness of an old friend, become an exposition of the currents and foibles that define our lives. Everything from the meaning of cosmonauts to the new ideas, writers and artists that populate the sparkling international world of the sixties and seventies are considered and transformed into jewels of insight, delight and devastation.
Sincere and playful, exhilarating and contemplative, Too Much of Life: Complete Chronicles opens up a new way of seeing the world.

HRH : So Many Thoughts on Royal Style
Royal women wield a unique, quiet kind of power. They use their clothing choices and their styling preferences to create a visual brand that is at once aspirational and accessible, and to project a sartorial statement that encompasses their values, priorities, and beliefs. For Britain's modern monarchy, fashion is often their most powerful and prominent political statement. And for this reason, it is ripe for dissection--from the tip of the fascinator to the toe of the pump.
Filled with hundreds of 4-color photos and presented in a luxurious, coffee table-ready package, HRH will be split into four sections, each covering one of the four royals. The book will build off of Elizabeth's Instagram series, "So Many Thoughts" (SMT), by expanding her signature royal commentary to include deep-dive essays on both the royal women she studies and broader topics such as the cultural history of the hat and the role of social media in royal commentary. And of course, HRH will include plenty of the iconic photo captions that SMT fans have come to love.
Think the format of Notorious RBG with the content of The Crown and the social media buzz of The Home Edit.

Too Big to Jail
Across the world, HSBC likes to sell itself as 'the world's local bank', the friendly face of corporate and personal finance. And yet, a decade ago, the same bank was hit with a record US fine of $1.9 billion for facilitating money laundering for 'drug kingpins and rogue nations'. In pursuit of their goal of becoming the biggest bank in the world, between 2003 to 2010, HSBC allowed El Chapo and the Sinaloa cartel, one of the most notorious and murderous criminal organizations in the world, to turn its ill-gotten money into clean dollars and thereby grow one of the deadliest drugs empires the world has ever seen.
Just how did 'the world's local bank' find itself enabling Mexico's leading drugs cartel, and the biggest drugs trafficking organization in the world, to launder cash through the bank's branch network and systems?
How did a bank, which boasts 'we're committed to helping protect the world's financial system on which millions of people depend, by only doing business with customers who meet our high standards of transparency' come to facilitate Mexico's richest drug baron? And how did a bank that as recently as 2002 had been named 'one of the best-run organizations in the world' become so entwined with such a criminal, with one of the most barbaric groups of gangsters on the planet?
Too Big to Jail is an extraordinary story brilliantly told by writer, commentator and former editor of The Independent, Chris Blackhurst, that starts in Hong Kong and ranges across London, Washington, the Cayman Islands and Mexico, where HSBC saw the opportunity to become the largest bank in the world, and El Chapo seized the chance to fuel his murderous empire by laundering his drug proceeds through the bank. It brings together an extraordinary cast of politicians, bankers, drug dealers, FBI officers and whistle-blowers, and asks what price does greed have? Whose job is it to police global finance? And why did not a single person go to prison for facilitating the murderous expansion of a global drug empire? Are some corporations now so big as to be above the law?
