To be Sung Underwater
For you, I was a chapter-a good chapter maybe, or even your favorite chapter, but, still, just a chapter-and for me, you were the book.' Judith Whitman believes in the sort of love that 'picks you up in Akron, Ohio, and sets you down in Rio de Janeiro'. But she married more pragmatically. Before her marriage to a banker, before her career as a film editor in Los Angeles, Judith was 17 and living in Nebraska, where she met Willy Blunt, a carpenter whose pale blue eyes and easy smile awakened in Judith the reckless girl he alone imagined her to be. Marrying Willy seemed a natural thing to promise. But a violent episode followed by acceptance to a prestigious university carried Judith away. Twenty years later, Judith's sturdy-seeming marriage is suddenly hazy with secrets, and her thoughts drift back to the time when she and Willy had escaped to a small world where sunlight seemed always to fall from a softer angle. What happens now when she holds in her hand the number for the man who believed it, long ago, when she declared her love?

Guide to Being Born
Reminiscent of Aimee Bender and Karen Russell--an enthralling new collection that uses the world of the imagination to explore the heart of the human condition. Major new literary talent Ramona Ausubel combines the otherworldly wisdom of her much-loved debut novel, "No One Is Here Except All of Us," with the precision of the short-story form. "A Guide toBeing Born "is organized around the stages of life--love, conception, gestation, birth--and the transformations that happen as people experience deeply altering life events, falling in love, becoming parents, looking toward the end of life. In each of these eleven stories Ausubel's stunning imagination and humor are moving, entertaining, and provocative, leading readers to see the familiar world in a new way. In "Atria" a pregnant teenager believes she will give birth to any number of strange animals rather than a human baby; in "Catch and Release" a girl discovers the ghost of a Civil War hero living in the woods behind her house; and in "Tributaries" people grow a new arm each time they fall in love. Funny, surprising, and delightfully strange--all the stories have a strong emotional core; Ausubel's primary concern is always love, in all its manifestations.

An Introduction to Buddhism
This book is a comprehensive introduction to Buddhist tradition as it has developed in three major cultural areas in Asia, and to Buddhism as it is now developing in the West. It is intended to be a textbook for students of religious and Asian studies, but it will also be of interest to those who want a general survey of Buddhism and its beliefs. Unlike many other general books about Buddhism, it not only explores the world views of the religion but also attempts to show how Buddhism functions as a set of practices. It thus includes chapters on devotion, ethics, monastic practices and meditation. Such practices are related to Buddhist teachings and historical developments. Emphasizing as it does the diversity found within different Buddhist traditions, the book aims throughout to underline common threads of belief, practice and historical continuities which unify the Buddhist world. Dr. Harvey answers questions that are often asked by people on first meeting the tradition, and in his section on Nirvana offers a novel interpretation of this ultimate, transcendent mystery.

Čeští cestovatelé
Touha poznat cizí kraje byla v českých zemích vždy silná. Druhá polovina 19. století tuto touhu začala ve zvýšené míře naplňovat a cestovatelé jako E. Holub, E. St. Vráz, J. Kořenský, Č. Paclt, A. Musil, A. V. Frič či J. Welzl se stali ve své době známými a populárními osobnostmi. Práce si však neklade za cíl rozmnožit díla o dějinách objevitelských výprav, nýbrž se také zaměřuje na vztah cestovatelů a české společnosti a klade si netradiční otázky. Kupříkladu co přivedlo cestovatele z vnitrozemí na cesty, jaké byly jejich návraty, jak je společnost vnímala, jaké byly vztahy mezi nimi, jaký byl pohled na domorodé obyvatelstvo a kolonizaci či jaké to bylo, když cestovatelé již docestovali. Není opominut ani "druhý život" těchto osobností.

How to Think Like Churchill
Looking at defining moments in Winston Churchill's life and revealing his key principles, philosophies and decisions, this book will teach you how to think like the great man. Remembered for his leadership during the Second World War, Churchill's commitment to 'never surrender', as well as his stirring speeches and radio broadcasts, helped inspire British resistance to the Nazi threat when Britain stood alone against an occupied Europe. As well as a hugely successful politician, Churchill was an officer in the British Army, a journalist, historian and a writer, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. As one of the few voices warning about Nazi Germany in the 1930s, he returned to government to play his part in defeating Nazism, becoming one of the defining figures of the twentieth century. Studying how and why he accomplished what he did, how he overcame personal and professional adversity and stood strong in the face of overwhelming odds, with quotes and passages by and about the great man, you too can learn to think like Churchill.

How to Speak Wookiee
In the style of our top selling "How to Speak Zombie", this sound book teaches intergalactic travelers in need how to understand and communicate with notoriously short-tempered Wookiees. This book supposes that you have been partnered with a Wookiee, or frequently find yourself in situations where you must deal with Wookiees, and offers phrases to use in communicating with them as well as crucial phrases that your Wookiee acquaintance may be trying to communicate to you. (As a bit of background, Wookiees are very good at learning and understanding other languages, but cannot speak anything but their own language.) This book is set in the "Star Wars" universe, but we have included mostly everyday situations that push the SW world a bit.
