A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... Throughout his career, Charles Dickens often turned his hand to fashioning short pieces of ghostly fiction, and began the tradition of "the ghost story at Christmas". Many of his supernatural tales are presented here, including the brilliant novella "The Haunted man and the ghost's bargain", which deserves to be as well known as "A Christmas carol". While all aim to send a shiver down the spine, they are not without the usual traits of Dickens' flamboyant style: his subtle wit, biting irony, humorous incidents and moral observations. This & ... |

A powerful argument for how to succeed in any field: develop broad interests and skills while everyone around you is rushing to specialize. From the "10,000 hours rule" to the power of Tiger parenting, we have been taught that success in any field requires early specialization and many hours of deliberate practice. And, worse, that if you dabble or delay, you'll never catch up with those who got a head start. This is completely wrong. In this landmark book, David Epstein shows you that the way to succeed is by sampling widely, gaining a breadth of experiences, taking detours, experimenting relentlessly, ... |

Как да бъдем здрави и да се наслаждаваме на живота без вина. Никога вече! - всеки си е казвал това поне веднъж в живота. Добре полято парти или обилна вечеря може да ни развеселяват за час-два, но на следващия ден ни помита ужасна вина. А тя, твърди френският лекар проф. Давид Хаят , е най-големият враг на тялото и здравето ни. Докато непрекъснато ни заливат с правила и съвети какво да правим и какво да избягваме, нашето лично щастие остава далечен мираж. Доскорошни практики, целебни продукти и лекарства са отричани. А след време виждаме как и новото се заклеймява. Да се ориентираме в съвременния хаотичен, ... |
