This Is the Place
This Is the Place is the sinister tale of an aged and lonely blackjack dealer living in Wendover, Nevada, and his love that leads him to do a terrible thing, and the story he tells to justify it to himselfSixty-four-feet tall and made of metal, the neon giant Wendover Will stands in front of the Stateline casino in Wendover, Nevada and faces east. The sign under him reads "This Is The Place." Over a hundred miles away in Utah, across the salt flats, stands the statue of Brigham Young, atop his monument, proclaiming the same thing, "This Is The Place."This Is The Place is a novel of love, perhaps doomed, told by an endearing misanthrope who may be delusional, but who has managed to coalesce his manias into an alternative understanding that lies somewhere between Wendover Will''s depravity and Brigham Young''s morality:"The dispute between Will and Brigham is not for me to settle, nor would I want it settled. The words hang over the salt flats, the most forsaken stretch of earth, a terrifying expanse of sheer space, white, like another planet, hard and smooth where nothing can live. This all sounds so grim! I''ve known joy and I''ll know it again. It''s just that it takes work to get up the words to talk about love."His love leads him to do a terrible thing, and he tells this story to justify himself. His words, seductive and convincing, draw the reader into a world where the supernatural takes on new meaning. It is a haunting journey to the extreme realities of Las Vegas and Salt Lake City and many places in between. Above all, it is an odyssey to the depths of love.

UNSAYABLE HB
An intimate memoir portraying a life spent trying to describe the indescribable—from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist of The Hours and Day.Go ahead. Try using language to slit the skin of mortality to see what’s on the other side.At the age of three, Michael Cunningham began obsessively collecting the names of things: oak, Chevrolet, finch, tulip, Tupperware… Each word rendered the world ever so slightly more understandable, more describable, kicking off a lifelong love affair with language—one that would, eventually, maybe inevitably, lead him to become a writer.In Unsayable, Cunningham’s memories spill forth, and with them, reflections on the craft of writing. He is fifteen, in a swimming pool at night, gazing at the first boy he ever fell in love with, who is lost in contemplative silence. He is a new college graduate, setting off for nowhere in a Dodge Dart, hoping to pull meaning (and a novel) from the expanse of America. He is on Cape Cod, regaling an elderly couple with invented tales of sexual escapades. He is in an art gallery, unwittingly having the first in a lifetime of conversations with the man he would marry. A thread ties each beautifully-wrought moment to the next: what is unspoken, what won’t yield to language, what is embellished beyond recognition, what is still left to say.Luminous, perceptive and powerful, Unsayable is an ode to literature, a meditation on craft and an intimate account of a life spent trying to put into words that which resists depiction. This, it turns out, is the lifeblood of the fiction writer: the impossibility of capturing the human experience, and the relentless desire to try.

Nagycsoportos vagyok - iskolás leszek: Figyelemtartást fejlesztő munkafüzet
Napjainkban egyre több óvodáskorú gyermek érintett a figyelem tartósságával kapcsolatos problémákban. Könnyen belátható, hogy a koncentrációs képesség gyengesége gyakran együtt jár a gyengébb tanulási teljesítménnyel. A digitális eszközök a gyerekeket a folyamatosan változó ingerekhez szoktatják, miközben egyre kevesebb olyan tevékenységgel találkoznak, amelyek tartósabb odafigyelést igényelnek. Márpedig az iskolai tanulás során a kitartó figyelemnek kiemelt jelentősége van. Ez a kiadvány olyan módszert kínál a csapongó figyelmű gyermekek megsegítésére, amely játékos formában fejleszti és erősíti a kitartóbb koncentráció képességét. A módszer lényege, hogy a gyermek figyelmét megragadó képekhez kérdések kapcsolódnak, amelyek fenntartják az érdeklődést, és gondolkodásra késztetik a gyermeket. A kép-kérdés módszer kiváló lehetőséget nyújt arra, hogy a gyermek koncentrációs képessége játékos módon fejlődjön és erősödjön. Nagycsoportos gyermekek esetében a feladatlapokon végzett munka különösen ajánlott.
A gyermek előtt mindig csak egy képpár legyen. A füzet másik oldalát érdemes egy fehér lappal letakarni, hogy az ott lévő képek ne vonják el a gyermek figyelmét. Először nevezzék meg együtt a két képet! Ezután tegye fel a soron következő kérdést, amelyre a gyermeknek válaszolnia kell! Miután eldöntötte, hogy a két kép közül melyik ad választ a kérdésre - az egyik, a másik, mindkettő vagy egyik sem -, nevezze meg, melyik színű karikában kell a jelölést elvégeznie. A feladatok ilyen módon történő elvégzése nemcsak a figyelem tartósságát támogatja, hanem bővíti és pontosítja a gyermek ismereteit is az adott témában. Azáltal pedig, hogy a gyermek írásban is jelöli a helyes választ, fokozatosan jártasságot szerez az írásbeli feladatmegoldásban is.
A feladatok középsős gyermekekkel is elvégezhetők. Ebben az életkorban azonban elegendő, ha a gyermek csupán rámutat arra a képre, amely szerinte helyes választ adja a kérdésre.
Nagycsoportos vagyok - Iskolás leszek: Matematikát előkészítő munkafüzet
Az iskolába lépés a gyermekek életében jelentős mérföldkő. Az első osztály kiemelt feladatai közé tartozik a számolási készség megalapozása. A mennyiségfogalom kialakítása, valamint a tízes számkörön belüli műveletvégzés (összeadás, kivonás) előkészítése azonban már óvodáskorban megkezdhető.
Ez a munkafüzet célzottan az 5-7 éves korosztály számára készült. A feladatok egymásra épülnek, a fokozatosság elvét követve vezetik be a gyermekeket a matematikai gondolkodás világába, elősegítve az iskolai tanuláshoz szükséges alapképességek meglétét.
A kiadvány nem használja a számjegyek írott formáját, kizárólag mennyiségekkel alapozza meg azt a matematikai tudást, amelyre a gyermeknek az iskolában szüksége lesz. A mennyiségek ábrázolására egységes rendszert alkalmaz, amely kiküszöböli annak bizonytalan értelmezését.

Průstřely na nočním nebi
Než se Ocean Vuong celosvětově proslavil románem Na Zemi jsme na okamžik nádherní, byl především básníkem. Jeho debutová sbírka je směsicí křehkosti a síly. V básních, které čerpají z válečných zkušeností, kulturní rozpolcenosti i osobních ztrát, autor hledá jazyk pro lásku, bolest, paměť a touhu. Jeho verše jsou obrazné, hudebně laděné, a přitom nekompromisně tělesné – dokážou být něžné i surové v jediné větě. Vuong s citlivostí i odvahou zachycuje, jak se historie vpíjí do života jednotlivce.

S nasadením vlastného života
Mladého policajta Nenada nájdu mŕtveho na zadnom sedadle auta. Vyšetrovatelia jeho smrť uzavrú ako samovraždu. Nenadov starší brat Marli, tiež policajt, však oficiálnej verzii neverí. Na vlastnú päsť sa púšťa do pátrania po pravde. Stredoškolská učiteľka pripravuje v dramatickom krúžku inscenáciu Antigona 2.0 podľa Sofokla. Od študentov chce, aby na javisku odhalili vlastné emócie a nebáli sa svojej zraniteľnosti. Tento nekonvenčný pedagogický prístup obráti naruby nielen jej život. Obaja protagonisti odmietnu prijať to, čo ostatní pokladajú za samozrejmé. Policajtov brat aj učiteľka sa vzoprú svetu, v ktorom je pohodlnejšie nehovoriť pravdu nahlas. Svetu služieb a protislužieb, mlčania a nepísaných pravidiel. Ocitnú sa v situácii, v ktorej každé riešenie prináša novú stratu a každý správny krok môže mať nečakané následky. Akú cenu je človek ochotný zaplatiť za pravdu? A je vôbec možné vzdorovať systému, ktorého musíme byť súčasťou?
S nasadením vlastného života nie je len románom o hľadaní vinníka. Je predovšetkým príbehom ľudí, ktorí odmietnu prijať to, čo ostatní pokladajú za samozrejmé. O čestnosti, ktorá sa v komplikovanom svete stáva skúškou charakteru. O ľuďoch, ktorí zistia, že pravda nemusí priniesť víťazstvo a že ten, kto ju vysloví, často zostane sám. Podobne ako Antigona, aj Novakovi hrdinovia platia za to, že odmietajú odvrátiť zrak.

Authoritarianism
Authoritarianism is one of the buzzwords of our age. But what is it exactly? This Very Short Introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the world of authoritarian regimes, including military, single-party, and personalist regimes. It considers how understandings of authoritarianism have evolved over time, as well as the curious fact that many authoritarian regimes today hold elections. Drawing on examples from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, James Loxton examines the life cycle of authoritarian regimes. How are they born? What challenges do they face during life? Why do they die? The author shows how factors such as natural resource wealth and cross-border collaboration can contribute to authoritarian durability. He also highlights the disturbing fact that even when authoritarian regimes collapse, voters often use their newfound democratic rights to send former authoritarian officials back to office.
Love Divine in Lucid Dreaming
This book recounts what happened when Jesus met me in mylucid dreams over the course of more than fifteen years, sometimes appearing inhis bodily form and other times in words, music, or light. As readers of my other books will know, in lucid dreamingthe dreamer not only becomes aware that they are dreaming but also can choosehow they will focus their attention. In the dreams featured in this collection,my choice within lucidity has been to wait on the Lord in prayer and praise andto see what happens next. Through mylucid encounters with Jesus, I have come to understand that the HolySpirit lives within every heart. Jesus lived a life of absolute surrender, evento death. This was the price He was prepared to pay to teach us how to live andtruly love without fear, in this world and beyond. My meetings with Jesusshowed me that we can follow His path by learning to "die before we die" whenwe become lucid in our dreams and dare to open our hearts. Yielding in thisway, to what I call "Lucid Surrender" (TM), can empower each of us to knowourselves as God's dearly beloved and to act in accordance with this knowledge,in both our dreams and waking life.
Such a Witch
Clueless meets Wednesday in this delightfully light, fast-paced read set in a magic boarding school - part fluffy romcom and part murder mystery, featuring a (literal) witchhunt.
Pretty, popular, and a total witch, Embry Woodcross is queen bee at Raven's Head School for the Magically Gifted. Entering senior year as head prefect, Embry is a celebrated fashionista and unrivalled solver of problems big, small, and unattractive. (She's quite generous with her handcrafted magical beauty products.)
When she meets Oakley Riddle, clueless transfer student and ultra-rare vampire, Embry's mission is clear: take the new girl under her wing and make sure she's not thrown to the (were)wolves. Coven mate Rye Knighton may scoff at Embry's aggressive benevolence, but Raven's Head students reward her with love and appreciation...
Until one good deed too many makes Embry the lead suspect in a murder investigation.
Suddenly, the same people who begged Embry for enchanted acne potions are convinced she's a cold-blooded killer. Apparently, everyone loves a witch until something bad happens, and then it's all pitchforks and anecdotal evidence. As everything she's ever done is used against her, Embry teams up with Rye to find the real murderer, clear her name, and maybe fall in love along the way.
