A Coney Island of the Mind
The title of this book is taken from Henry Miller's "Into the Night Life" and expresses the way Lawrence Ferlinghetti felt about these poems when he wrote them during a short period in the 1950's-as if they were, taken together, a kind of Coney Island of the mind, a kind of circus of the soul.
Aspectos problemáticos de la prefijación en espanol
Monografie se snaží přehlednou a stručnou formou postihnout hlavní teoretické problémy prefixace v současné španělštině. Kromě analýzy některých fenoménů odporujících základní španělské definici předpony jako morfému, který není nositelem slovního přízvuku a jehož užití na rozdíl od sufixace nevede ke změně lexikální kategorie, je pozornost věnována především dodnes neuzavřenému sporu o postavení prefixace mezi ostatními slovotvornými postupy (tj. její příslušnosti k derivaci či kompozici), stejně jako diskutabilnímu zařazení řecko-latinských kořenů (tzv. prefixoidů) do kategorie předpon či slovotvorných základů.

THE GOOD PEOPLE OF PALOCZ
It was a thick, foggy morning; the fog seemed densest in the precincts of the Court House. It had enveloped completely this gloomy building, making it look more repellent than ever. It had settled there as if with a fixed determination to remain.
The very air in the hall smelt of this damp fog, and even the whisky whose odour permeated the entire place was giving way to it. The circular ventilator in the highest window-pane was choked by it, and revolved but slowly.
The judges leaned wearily back in their comfortable chairs; one closed his eyes, and sleepily listened to the scratching of the clerk’s pen; another yawningly drummed with his pencil on the green table, whilst the president, balancing his glasses on the tip of his nose, was mopping his perspiring brow with his handkerchief. In the interval of rest this noble gentleman perspired freely he scrutinized fixedly the door, through which but a few moments previous those people interested in the case just tried had passed.

Lacná kniha Egypt and Austria IX: Perception of the Orient in Central Europe (1800–1918). Proceedings of the Symposium held at Betliar, Slovakia (October 21st to 24th, 2013) (-50%)
Po Napoleonovom vpáde do Egypta (1798) sa Európania začali viac zaujímať o krajiny Orientu. Cestovali do Egypta, Sudánu či Palestíny a písali z ciest reportáže a cestopisy. Nadšenie pre starý Egypt viedlo až k egyptománii - západné elity začali zbierať faraónske pamiatky a napodobovať staroegyptské motívy. Dnešné stredoeurópske krajiny, či ich časti, patrili v 19. storočí do imperiálneho Rakúska (Rakúsko-Uhorska). To malo vo východnom Stredomorí svoje záujmy a susedilo s Osmanskou ríšou. Publikácia Vnímanie Orientu v strednej Európe (1800-1918) sa zameriava na tieto prepojenia. Viac ako dvadsať príspevkov diela literatúry faktu je písaných po anglicky. Ich autori, vedci z desiatich krajín, sa venujú egyptologickým zbierkam a ich histórii, egyptománii od Haliča po Viedeň, loveckým výpravám (vrátane expedície korunného princa Rudolfa) a orientalizujúcim obrazom stredoeurópskych aj tureckých umelcov. V publikácii sú tiež zastúpené cestopisy a reportáže, z pier princezien, spisovateliek, barónov či grófov tej doby.

Wanted! The Job of Your Dreams – Better Career Choice Reorientation Job Application
This is what this book brings you: you support climate protection, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because the demands when choosing a career job search and application are high: interesting and exciting should be the dream job in Spe, but at the same time also safe and with good earnings prospects. But young people in particular often base their career choice on role models, their own parents or what is predicted as job prospects on the labor market. However, this can change more quickly than one might think; firmly established career paths dictated by vocational training are becoming increasingly rare, and the content of many training programs can barely keep pace with technological progress. Therefore, one should reflect on one's own talents and abilities and thus positively highlight the undreamed-of potential of one's own strengths in the application process. In this way, you may find a dream job you hadn't even thought of, and you can always adapt flexibly to an increasingly fast-changing job market, which is also an advantage if you want to change your career later in life. This book shows the opportunities and possibilities in the dream job search as well as obstacles and thus helps to find the right path. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form. Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content in German and English as desired. This concept is made possible by a particularly efficient, innovative digital process and Deep Learning, AI systems that use neural networks in translation. The publishing company donates at least 5 percent of its reveniew from book sales to charitable organizations involved in reforestation projects and climate protection - more detailed information on request. Publisher Simone Janson is also chairwoman of the board of the Berufebilder Yourweb Foundation, bestselling author and was one of the 20 most important German bloggers as well as a columnist for renowned media - more about her in Wikipedia.

The Geek's Guide to Wizarding Mastery in One Epic Tome
Not all wizards were born to be heroes.
Things not to do when you find out you’re a wizard:
#1 Do not destroy your apartment with magical fire. You WILL NOT get the security deposit back.#2 Do not form an alliance with the guy who is trying to murder you. This will end badly.#3 Do not drag the girl you’re desperately in love with into your wizard mess. You risk her watching you fail miserably.#4 Under no circumstances should you get in the middle of an epic magical battle. Death will happen. Lots of death and bad things.
This Epic Tome contains all four books in The Tale of Bryant Adams:How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin' DaysSeven Things Not to Do When Everyone's Trying to Kill YouThree Simple Steps to Wizarding DominationFive Spellbinding Laws of International Larceny
Praise for How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin’ Days
“This is a magical, fast-paced, fantasy packed—with a lovely dose of modern day teen—ride.” – Tonja
“How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin' Days by Megan O'Russell is the funniest book for teens/middle grade I have read in so long!” – M.W.

Author Interview
Why did you choose to write a fantasy book that heavily involves a cell phone?
Phones are a huge part of everyday life. Smart phone are these tiny pieces of massive technology we use everyday without really thinking about how astounding they are. But what if phones could be used for more than just scrolling through social media? What if an entire magical library could be hidden in your pocket? I wanted modern convenience to meet magic in a new way.
What does Bryant Adams bring to the world of wizards that readers haven’t seen before?
Bryant Adams is not your standard hero. He is not the chosen one, and the world may be doomed if he’s in charge of saving us all.
Bryant is a geek—the nerdy sidekick of the coolest kid in high school—who’s trying really hard to survive being a wizard but is too terrified to talk to the girl of his dreams.
He’s just a boy trying to get through his teen years without too much emotional damage…and then magic happens.
Who would enjoy this book?
If you like humor with a touch of snark, romance with a hint of wit, and magic that might destroy the world as we know it, Bryant Adams is the wizard for you.

The New Testament, King James Version
The Authorized King James Version is an English translation of the Christian Bible began in 1604 and completed in 1611 by the Church of England. A primary concern of the translators was to produce a Bible that would be appropriate, dignified and resonant in public reading. Hence, in a period of rapid linguistic change, they avoided contemporary idioms; tending instead towards forms that were already slightly archaic, like "verily" and "it came to pass". While the Authorized Version remains among the most widely sold, modern critical New Testament translations differ substantially from the Authorized Version in a number of passages, primarily because they rely on source manuscripts not then accessible to (or not then highly regarded by) early 17th Century Biblical Scholarship.In most of the world the Authorized Version has passed out of copyright and is freely reproduced. This is not the case in the United Kingdom where the rights to the Authorized Version are held by the British Crown under perpetual Crown copyright. [Source: Wikipedia]
