House Gun (9781250007728)

A house gun, like a house cat: a fact of ordinary life, today. How else can you defend yourself against losing your hi-fi equipment, your TV set and computer? The respected Executive Director of an insurance company, Harald, and his doctor wife, Claudia, are faced with something that could never happen to them: their son, Duncan, has committed murder. What kind of loyalty do a mother and father owe a son who has committed the unimaginable horror? How could he have ignored the sanctity of human life? What have they done to influence his character; how have they failed him? Nadine Gordimer's new novel is a passionate narrative of the complex manifestations of that final test of human relations we call love - between lovers of all kinds, and parents and children. It moves with the restless pace of living itself; if it is a parable of present violence, it is also an affirmation of the will to reconciliation that starts where it must, between individual men and women. ...

America's Game : The Epic Story of How Pro Football Captured a Nation (9780375725067)

It's difficult to imagine today--when the Super Bowl has virtually become a national holiday and the National Football League is the country's dominant sports entity--but pro football was once a ramshackle afterthought on the margins of the American sports landscape. In the span of a single generation in postwar America, the game charted an extraordinary rise in popularity, becoming a smartly managed, keenly marketed sports entertainment colossus whose action is ideally suited to television and whose sensibilities perfectly fit the modern age. America's Game traces pro football's grand transformation, from the World War II years, when the NFL was fighting for its very existence, to the turbulent 1980s and 1990s, when labor disputes and off-field scandals shook the game to its core, and up to the sport's present-day preeminence. A thoroughly entertaining account of the entire universe of professional football, from locker room to boardroom, from playing field to ...

Way We Work (0618233784)

In this comprehensive and entertaining resource, David Macaulay reveals the inner workings of the human body as only he could. In order to present this complicated subject in an accurate and entertaining way, he put in years of research. He sat in on anatomy classes, dissections, and even reached inside the rib cages of two cadavers to compare their spleen sizes. He observed numerous surgeries, including a ten-hour procedure where a diseased pancreas was removed, as well as one where a worn-out old knee was replaced by a brand new one. This hands-on investigation gives Macaulay a unique perspective to lead his readers on a visual journey through the workings of the human body. The seven sections within the book take us from the cells that form our foundation to the individual systems they build. Each beautifully illustrated spread details different aspects of our complex structure, explaining the function of each and offering up-close glimpses, unique cross-sections and perspectives, a...

The Long Weekend : Life in the English Country House Between the Wars (9780099592853)

'A masterpiece of social history' Daily Mail There is nothing quite as beautiful as an English country house in summer. And there has never been a summer quite like that Indian summer between the two world wars, a period of gentle decline in which the sun set slowly on the British Empire and the shadows lengthened on the lawns of a thousand stately homes. Real life in the country house during the 1920s and 1930s was not always so sunny. By turns opulent and ordinary, noble and vicious, its shadows were darker. In The Long Weekend, Adrian Tinniswood uncovers the truth about a world half-forgotten, draped in myth and hidden behind stiff upper lips and film-star smiles. Drawing on hundreds of memoirs, on unpublished letters and diaries, on the eye-witness testimonies of belted earls and unhappy heiresses and bullying butlers, The Long Weekend gives a voice to the people who inhabited this world and shows how the image of the country house was carefully protected by its occupants ...

Eine Zeitreise Zu Den Ursprungen Unserer Sprache -- Wie Die Indogermanistik Unsere Worter Erklart (3832516018)

Dieses Buch mochte die Indogermanistik einem breiteren Publikum bekannt machen. Der Leser erfahrt, warum hochdeutsch Zaun und englisch town ebenso verwandt sind wie zwei und two oder zehn und ten. Kompliziertere Lautgesetze zeigen, dass die Worter Rettich, radikal und Wurzel alle von einem einzigen indogermanischen Wort abstammen, das vor sechs oder sieben Jahrtausenden gesprochen wurde.Wer zudem wissen mochte, woher die Vokale in singen, sang, gesungen ruhren oder was es mit den indischstammigen Wortern Buddha, Chakra, Guru, Yoga und Punsch auf sich hat, wird in diesem Buch fundig. Nicht zuletzt helfen die Lautgesetze dabei, nicht ganz so gebrauchliche englische Worter wie token, goat oder beaker zu ubersetzen.Die sprachwissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse ermoglichen zudem einen Blick auf die Sprecher dieser Sprache. Wie sahen ihre Behausungen aus? Welche Fruchte haben sie angebaut? Wer hatte das Sagen: Frauen oder Manner?"ebenso kenntnisreich wie unterhaltsam" Prof. Dr. Michael J...
