Complete and unabridged. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... In this extraordinary essay, Virginia Woolf examines the limitations of womanhood in the early twentieth century. With the startling prose and poetic license of a novelist, she makes a bid for freedom, emphasizing that the lack of an independent income, and the titular 'room of one's own', prevents most women from reaching their full literary potential. As relevant in its insight and indignation today as it was when first delivered in those hallowed lecture theaters, A Room of One's Own remains both a beautiful work of literature and an ... |

Как да управляваме в един несигурен свят ... Мениджърите непрекъснато вземат решения. Всъщност би могло да се каже, че на тях за това им се плаща. Широко споделяно е мнението, че с достатъчно знания ние можем да вземаме рационални, обективни решения, "правилните" решения, които ще ни донесат желаните резултати. Но, както показва Крис Блейк, бизнесът, също като живота и покера, е несигурен и изпълнен с рискове – правилното решение не винаги носи резултатите, които сме очаквали. Вярно е, че нагласата "Да бъдем решителни" предлага илюзията за сигурност и контрол. Но в действителност съвсем малко неща са ... |

It was a dappled and daubed harbor scene that gave Impressionism its name. When Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet was exhibited in April 1874, critics seized upon the work's title and its loose stylistic rendering of light and motion upon water to deride this new, impressionistic, tendency in art. As with many seminal art movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism is close contender for the world's favorite period of painting. With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise are now beloved for their ... |

Робърт М. Пърсиг е автор само на две книги, но още първата - Дзен и изкуството да се поддържа мотоциклет - с излизането си през 1974 г., се превръща в истински бестселър и му носи световна известност. На пръв поглед сюжетът е елементарен: мъж и неговият дванайсетгодишен син предприемат пътешествие с мотоциклет през Америка. Постепенно разказът прераства във вълнуваща одисея в търсенето на истината за същността на битието, в един модерен епос, където откриваме фундаменталните въпроси и отговори за това как да живеем. Романът, определен от критиката за една от най-значимите творби в американската литература, е преведен ... |

A psycholinguistic analysis of editorials concerning 9/11. ... "Life and Death in a Time of Terror" is a psycholinguistic study of how 270 editorials from five different newspapers sought to make sense of an initially incomprehensible set of events: the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington, DC and a United Airlines jet flying over a field somewhere in rural Pennsylvania. What made this a pressing task in 2001 was that not only did these attacks produce some 3000 deaths (many as horrible as can possibly be imagined), the destruction of two of America's largest ... |
