Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Mans greatest fear is of death. Because of this, a lot of energy goes into defending ourselves against this reality whether it be through illicit or recreational drugs, business or work.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When Mark Radcliffe was born in the late 1950s, Britain was trying to find its own version of the dangerously sexy Elvis we gave the world Cliff Richard but by the time Mark was old enough to recognise pop songs on the radio, the UK was exploding into the world's most exciting place to be for a young music fan. In this, his eagerly awaited new book, Mark Radcliffe takes a record from each year of his life, using the song as a starting point from which to reach out and pull together a wonderfully entertaining catalogue of memories and asides about British culture. And, as one would expect from this unique and popular broadcaster, the tunes he lists are not the usual suspects. From The Kinks' 'See My Friends', through Slade's 'Coz I Luv You' to Kraftwerk's 'Europe Endless' and Joy Division's 'Atmosphere', Mark's selections bring forth a diverse collision of styles from eras uniquely defined by their musical genres and fashions. Bringing his choices right up to the present day, we see the inclusion of artists such as Richard Hawley, Elbow and Fleet Foxes. Mark's hugely entertaining and affectionate trawl through his favourite music of the past 50 years is guaranteed to surprise and delight his many fans.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - At the time of his death, Charles Addams was working on this project, a cookbook with never-before-seen artwork and never before tasted and very macabre recipespublished here for the first time, along with some classic Addams cartoons about food and cooking.Food and eating were a couple of Charles Addams's favorite subjects. Hungry cannibals, witches gathering around a cauldron, or a king over his blackbird pie often populated his celebrated cartoons. And, of course, Morticia of the 'Addams Family' was an avid cook, adding a touch of eye of newt or popping over to the neighbors for a cup of cyanide. So it should come as no wonder that in the 1960s Charles Addams was dabbling with a 'cookbook' idea. Addams discovered and compiled some bizarre recipes from antiquated and out-of-the-way sources. These recipes have very Addams-like names, such as 'Mushrooms Fester' or 'Hearts Stuffed,' and serve as a perfect complement to his drawings. Chas Addams Half-Baked Cookbook is a collection of his work on the world of food and eating, featuring many Addams drawings that have never been seen before, as well as some of his all-time classics.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We live in the Golden Age of publishing for spiritual, esoteric, and new age books of all conceivable stripes (and then there is the Internet). Amongst this wild proliferation of available information there has occurred a cheapening effect, in which many teachings have been watered down to make them palatable for a public with diminishing attention spans and suffering from information overload. For the sincere spiritual seeker there needs to be an awareness of the various ways we can go astray on the path, or fall off the path altogether. The whole idea of spirituality is to be awake, yet it is all too easy to simply end up in yet another dream world, thinking that we have found some higher truth. Rude Awakening: Perils, Pitfalls, and Hard Truths of the Spiritual Path is dedicated to examining, under a sharp light, the many ways our spiritual development goes wrong, or disappears altogether in the sheer crush of books and the routine grind of daily life.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu.

Weaving together Maddie's confessional to Annathe would-be niece of the deceased Charlotte Ormondand the prison diaries of Charlotte's mother, Harriet, who had been held responsible for her daughter's death, a vivid tapestry of the complex Ormond family history begins to form. Maddie also details her own life, marked by poverty, fear, sacrifice, and liesa stark contrast to the wealth Harriet describes in her diaries, though not without its own troubles.

Based on chilling events that actually took place in the north of Ireland in 1892, The Butterfly Cabinet is a sterling historical novel of family secrets, class, and guilt.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Despite being located on the extreme eastern boundary of Europe, and having been frequently conquered by invading people from Asia, including Arabs, Turks, Persians, Mongols, and more recently Russians, Georgians still regard themselves very much as Europeans and it is to becoming a future member state of the EU that the majority of the people now aspire. As for the traditional folk-tales from the region, one of their main characteristics is that they are packed with action: Whilst a written, "literary" novel or short story might devote paragraphs to descriptions of people or places, these tales usually settle for an adjective or two; "a thick impassable forest", "a handsome stately man", or a formula such as"not-seen-beneath-the-sun beauty". Many of the heroes and heroines do not even have names (Hunt, 1999, p.8) Safely cocooned, or so we like to kid ourselves, in our sanitised western urban environment, we tend to take the elements for granted. However, tales from a time when the Earth was new help to jolt us out of our daily lethargy, as do the stories in this collection a number of which have never been translated from Georgian direct into English before.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "History comes alive" (Kirkus Reviews) in the wild and true story of the first Indy 500 and the dawn of the automotive agenow in paperback.Forty cars lined up for the first Indianapolis 500. We are still waiting to find out who won. The Indy 500 was created to showcase the controversial new sport of automobile racing, which was sweeping the country. Daring young men risked life and limb by driving automobiles at the astonishing speed of seventy miles per hour with no seat belts, hard helmets, or roll bars. When the Indianapolis Speedway opened in 1909, seven people were killed, some of them spectators. Oil-slicked surfaces, clouds of smoke, exploding tires, and flying grit all made driving extremely hazardous, especially with the open-cockpit, windshield-less vehicles. Most drivers rode with a mechanic, who pumped oil manually while watching out for cars attempting to pass, and drivers would sometimes throw wrenches or bolts at each other during the race. The night before an event the racers would take up a collection for the next day's new widows. Although the 1911 Indy 500 judges declared Ray Harroun the official winner, there is reason to doubt that result, since Speedway authorities ordered the records to be destroyed. But Blood and Smoke is about more than a race. It is the story of America at the dawn of the automobile age, a country in love with speed, danger, and spectacle.…

Ironically, while the 'age of work' seems to have come to an end, working has assumed a total presence a 'worker's society' in the worst sense of the term where everyone finds themselves obsessed with it.
