Z vesnického burana se stal obávaný bojovník, který se hned tak něčeho nezalekne, a navíc mu přeje válečné štěstí. I když právě teď se zdá, že mu tak nějak došlo. Skvrnitý tyfus dokáže „rozchodit“ jen málokdo. Jenže Georgij se nemíní vzdát. Když nepomůže lékařská věda, jsou tu ještě jiné prostředky.

One woman. One ship. One astonishing true story.
Summer 1856.
Nineteen-year-old Mary Ann Patten and her husband, Joshua, are young and ambitious. Both from New England seafaring families, they have already completed their first voyage around the world with Joshua as captain. Their dream of building a home and a family is almost within reach, but the price is one last dangerous transit - a race to deliver supplies to the other side of the country. And there is no alternative but to sail all the way around. Yet as their ship leaves New York, navigating towards the jagged coastline of South America, Joshua falls ill, confined to his bunk and delirious. The treacherous first mate is imprisoned in the brig for insubordination, and with no obvious option for a new captain, Mary Ann steps into the breach. Within days she has put down a mutiny and must now attempt to steer this 216' clipper ship laden with the modern equivalent of $11 million of cargo through Drake's Passage and around Cape Horn - the most treacherous waters in the world. To the Edge of the World is the true story of one woman who, when faced with impossible odds, would do all that was necessary to survive.
Játékgyűjtemény - a gyermekek érzelmi és társas fejlődéséhez
Az óvodapedagógusoknak és tanítóknak készült gyűjteményben olyan csoportos játékok találhatók, amelyekkel megkönnyíthetik a gyerekek számára a különféle érzelmek felismerését, megnevezését és kifejezését, valamint hozzájárulhatnak a harmonikus személyiségfejlődés és társas kapcsolódás alakításához.
A sokéves pedagógiai és pszichológiai tapasztalatokon és a gyerekek reakcióinak megfigyelésén alapuló játékos feladatok igazodnak a gyerekek életkori sajátosságaihoz, és egyaránt alkalmazhatók otthon, valamint az óvodában, iskolában is. Az érzelmekről szóló beszélgetések ,,mellékhatásai" - az együtt nevetés, a másik elfogadása, meghallgatása, megértése - szintén erősíthetők a kötetben található gyakorlatokkal. A gyerekek játékos formában tanulhatják meg, hogy milyen érzelmek léteznek, hogyan lehet ezeket az arckifejezések alapján azonosítani, megnevezni. A különböző szituációs játékokban személyes történetek is előkerülhetnek, ezek révén a gyerekek gyakorolhatják, hogy a másik szemével is ránézzenek egy-egy helyzetre, elfogadják a másik érzelmeit, érzéseit. A feladatok szem előtt tartják a differenciálást, és tippeket adnak arra is, hogyan tudjuk a gátlásos vagy kevesebbet beszélő gyerekeket is bevonni a közös tevékenységbe anélkül, hogy rosszul éreznék magukat. A szerzők az egyes játékoknál leírják, hogyan alkalmazhatók otthoni környezetben, testvérekkel akár, vagy kétszemélyes, szülő-gyerek helyzetben.
Az egyes játékok alkalmasak a szókincsbővítésre, a szövegértés, a kommunikáció, a mozgáskordináció, a kooperáció fejlesztésére; iskolai környezetben kapcsolódnak például a magyar nyelv és irodalom, ének-zene és az etikaórához is, valamint a tanórán kívüli szabadidős tevékenységekhez. A játékokhoz tartozó kellékek egy része (szituációs kártyák, érzelemkártyák) megtalálható a kötet mellékletében, de az otthon található plüssállatok, kesztyűbábok is bevonhatók.

Everybody Loves Our Dollars
From the bestselling author of Butler to the World, Drugs for Gucci reveals how organised criminals move vast amounts of dirty money around the globe, how they escape the eyes of law enforcement and how they turn their ill-gotten income into vast amounts of legitimately recognised wealth.
Without the existence of money laundering, few crimes of acquisition would be worth the effort required to commit them. But despite decades of effort expended on stamping it out, money laundering is more ubiquitous than ever, with organised criminals coming up with ever more innovative and efficient ways to clean their cash. With forensic precision, Oliver Bullough pulls back the curtain on this shadow financial system and joins together the dots of a sophisticated international operation that connects illegal logging in Papua New Guinea, real estate purchases in Vancouver, terrorism in the Middle East and capital flight from China.
Drawing on complex court records and first-hand accounts from convicted money launderers, prosecutors and serious fraud officers, Bullough reveals that there may, in fact, be a way to stop crime from paying - if only we are prepared to enter the tunnel at the heart of the global economy and see where it leads . . .
Chosen Family
Books about friendship are not often described as love stories, but this is one.
At the age of twelve, Nell has accepted that hers will likely be a friendless existence. She's not interested in boys or makeup or competing to see who can eat the least - so fitting in at her all-girls' school feels impossible.
But then, a new girl arrives at school.
Eve has short hair like a boy's, a wicked sense of humour and an unshakable confidence that she will find her place in the world. And the moment they meet, Nell begins to rethink the whole friendless existence thing.
As they grow into themselves, Nell and Eve will love each other and hurt each other - through the chlorine-scented savagery of adolescence; long, drunken nights in share houses and gay bars; the highs and lows of parenthood.
And always, despite unspoken feelings and sexual confusion, they will choose each other. Again, and again. As friends, as lovers, as family.
The Loves of My Life
With his trademark wit, candour and relentlessly perceptive eye, Edmund White, the beloved 85-year-old 'paterfamilias of queer literature' (New York Times) delves unflinchingly into the aspect of his life which has inspired so many of his masterpieces: sex.
Documenting everything from covert fumblings in the repressed American Midwest of the 1950's to the Arcadian gay debauchery of New York in the 1970's; through the terror of HIV and the age of sex on the apps, White has seen - and experienced - it all.
Unyieldingly honest, outrageously raucous and arrestingly touching, The Loves of My Life can but further cement White's unquestionable role at the apex of the gay canon.
