Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -'Americans have disabled the government's ability to solve even basic problems, making us vulnerable to the most dangerous demagogue ever to pretend to the White House. Kurt Andersen shows how the masterminds of the economic right rode an unprecedented wave of nostalgia by dressing up their harsh new rich-get-richer system in patriotic old-time drag, making it their mission to take over the government for their purposes alone and convincing the country that the mid-century consensus about the function of the American government was all wrong. Only a writer with Andersen's crackling energy, deep intelligence, and ability to see complex systems with clarity could make such a vital book both intellectually formidable and completely entertaining. In his diagnosis of what happened and what it means for us today, Andersen spares no one, committing to a pinpointing of his own boomer generation as accessories to the great dismantling of the American experiment'Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 464 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A wildly charming and fast-paced mystery written with all the panache of the hardboiled classics, Fortune Favors the Dead introduces Pentecost and Parker, an audacious new detective duo for the ages. Razor-sharp style, tons of flair, a snappy sense of humor, and all the most satisfying elements of a really good noir novel, plus plenty of original twists of its own. Tana French, bestselling author of The SearcherIt's 1942 and Willowjean 'Will' Parker is a scrappy circus runaway whose knife-throwing skills have just saved the life of New York's best, and most unorthodox, private investigator, Lillian Pentecost. When the dapper detective summons Will a few days later, she doesn't expect to be offered a life-changing proposition: Lillian's multiple sclerosis means she can't keep up with her old case load alone, so she wants to hire Will to be her right-hand woman. In return, Will is to receive a salary, room and board, and training in Lillian's very particular art of investigation. Three years later, Will and Lillian are on the Collins case: Abigail Collins was found bludgeoned to death with a crystal ball following a big, boozy Halloween party at her home her body slumped in the same chair where her steel magnate husband shot himself the year before. With rumors flying that Abigail was bumped off by the vengeful spirit of her husband (who else could have gotten inside the locked room ), the family has tasked the detectives with finding answers where the police have failed. But that's easier said than done in a case that involves messages from the dead, a seductive spiritualist, and Becca Collins the beautiful daughter of the deceased, who Will quickly starts falling for. When Will and Becca's relationship dances beyond the professional, Will finds herself in dangerous territory, and discovers she may have become the murderer's next target.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER When did America give up on fairness The author of Fantasyland tells the epic history ofhow America decided that big business gets whatever it wants, only the rich get richer, and nothing should everchange and charts a way back to the future. Essential, absorbing . . . a graceful, authoritative guide . . . a radicalized moderate s moderate case for radical change. The New York Times Book ReviewDuring the twentieth century, America managed to make its economic and social systems both more and more fair and more and more prosperous. A huge, secure, and contented middle class emerged. All boats rose together. But then the New Deal gave way to the Raw Deal. Beginning in the early 1970s, by means of a long war conceived of and executed by a confederacy of big business CEOs, the superrich, and right-wing zealots, the rules and norms that made the American middle class possible were undermined and dismantled. The clock was turned back on a century of economic progress, making greed good, workers powerless, and the market all-powerful while weaponizing nostalgia, lifting up an oligarchy that served only its own interests, and leaving the huge majority of Americans with dwindling economic prospects and hope.Why and how did America take such a wrong turn In this deeply researched and brilliantly woven cultural, economic, and political chronicle, Kurt Andersenoffers a fresh, provocative, and eye-opening history of America s undoing, naming names, showing receipts, and unsparingly assigning blame to the radical right in economics and the law, the high priests of high finance, a complacent and complicit Establishment, and liberal useful idiots, among whom he includes himself.Only a writer with Andersen s crackling energy, deep insight, and ability to connect disparate dots and see complex systems with clarity could make such a book both intellectually formidable and vastly entertaining. And only a writer of Andersen s vision could reckon with our current high-stakes inflection point, and show the way out of this man-made disaster.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Programming with OpenSCAD is a STEM-focused, learn-to-code book for beginners that introduces core computational thinking concepts through the design of 3D-printable objects. Develop coding skills as you build increasingly complex 3D models and print them into fun games, puzzles, and more.OpenSCAD is freely available open source software that enables nondesigners to easily create 3D designs using a text-based programming language. It s a great language for beginners because the instant 3D visualization gives you immediate feedback on the results of your code. This book channels OpenSCAD s visual benefits and user-friendliness into a STEAM-focused, project-based tutorial that teaches the basics of coding, 3D printing, and computational thinking while you develop your spatial reasoning by creating 3D designs with OpenSCAD.Presuming no prior experience with either programming or 3D design, each chapter builds a scaffolded understanding of core concepts. You ll start by defining, drawing and displaying geometric primitives with text-based code, then expand your creative toolbox with transformation operations like rotating, reflecting, scaling, and combining shapes.As the projects become more sophisticated, so will your programming skills; you ll use loops for replicating objects, if statements for differentiating your designs, and parameterized, self-contained modules to divide longer scripts into separate files. Along the way, you'll learn 3D printing tips so that you can produce physical mementos of your progress and get physical feedback that lets you correct mistakes in real time. In addition, the book provides hands-on and accessible design exercises at the end of each chapter so that you can practice applying new concepts immediately after they are introduced.You ll learn:Programming basics like working with variables, loops, conditional statements, and parameterized modulesTransformation operations, such as rotate, reflect, and scale, to create complex shapesExtrusion techniques for turning 2D shapes into elaborate 3D designsComputational-thinking concepts, including decomposition, abstraction, and pattern recognition OpenSCAD s Boolean, Minkowski and hull operations for combining multiple 3D shapes into one3D design fundamentals, like navigating the xyz-axis, orthogonal vs. perspective views, and constructive solid geometryOrganizing bigger designs into separate files to make code more readable and collaborativeAccessibly written for a wide audience (advanced middle schoolers, high school students, college students, artists, makers and lifelong-learners alike), this is the perfect guide to becoming proficient at programming in general and 3D modeling in particular.
