de Pele cu Brian Winter
Fotbalul. Cel mai frumos joc. Cel mai iubit sport. Şi cine altcineva ne-ar putea vorbi despre motivele pentru care iubim acest sport dacă nu cel mai iubit jucător al tuturor timpurilor?
Pelé ne dezvăluie, odată cu amintirile şi trăirile sale, marea sa pasiune pentru sportul care l-a făcut celebru şi care i-a permis să influenţeze o planetă întreagă într-o manieră pe care nu şi-ar fi imaginat-o niciodată în copilaria sa din Baurú.
PELÉ şi-a început cariera la vârsta de 16 ani, odată cu semnarea contractului cu Santos Futebol Clube, clubul la care a rămas ca jucător timp de aproape 20 de ani. În 1958 a câştigat prima Cupă Mondială pentru Brazilia, la doar 17 ani, devenind cel mai tânăr campion mondial din istoria fotbalului. A continuat câştigând alte două campionate mondiale, în 1962 şi 1970, ceea ce l-a transformat în singurul jucător de fotbal cu trei trofee Jules Rimet. Pelé este de asemenea marcatorul cu cele mai multe goluri din istoria acestui sport: 1.283 de goluri în 1.366 de meciuri jucate. În 1999 a fost votat Jucătorul Secolului (World Player of the Century) de către IFFHS (Federatia Internaţională de Istorie şi Statistică a Fotbalului). În acelaşi an, France Football, le-a propus foştilor câştigători ai Balonului de Aur să aleagă Jucătorul Secolului (Football Player of the Century); l-au ales pe Pelé. Tot în 1999 a fost ales Sportivul Secolului de către Comitetul Olimpic Internaţional, iar revista Time l-a inclus în lista celor „100 cei mai influenţi oameni ai secolului XX”. În 2013 a primit Ballon d’Or Prix d’Honneur din partea FIFA, în semn de apreciere pentru cariera şi realizările sale profesionale.
BRIAN WINTER, corespondent-şef al Reuters Brazilia, a fost co-autor al unei serii de volume autobiografice, inclusiv un memoir al fostului preşedinte brazilian Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Născut în Texas, SUA, Winter locuieşte în prezent în São Paulo, Brazilia. | null | 9/10/2015 | {"name":"Pelé","num_books":27,"num_followers":"61"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":100}} | null |

Connecting economic and social reforms to racial and class inequality, Conjuring Crisis counters the myth of steady race progress by analyzing how the federal government and local politicians have sometimes "reformed" politics in ways that have amplified racism in the post civil-rights era.
In the 1990s at Fort Bragg and Fayetteville, North Carolina, the city's dominant political coalition of white civic and business leaders had lost control of the city council. Amid accusations of racism in the police department, two white council members joined black colleagues in support of the NAACP's demand for an investigation. George Baca's ethnographic research reveals how residents and politicians transformed an ordinary conflict into a "crisis" that raised the specter of chaos and disaster. He explores new territory by focusing on the broader intersection of militarization, urban politics, and civil rights. | null | 1/1/2010 | {"name":"George Baca","num_books":4,"num_followers":"1"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":100},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | "$27.64" |

This comprehensive volume combines four of the artist's vintage instructional manuals to form an essential guide to illustrating the head and face."Let your drawing be simple," Foster advises, and suggests that art students begin with the profile. Leave out unnecessary details until the basic shapes are in place. Then add the expressions that make the face the most interesting of all subjects. Instructions include step-by-step diagrams using charcoal, crayon, pencil, and brush to create finished portraits, plus tips on materials.

Aspro e combattuto. Uno dei cardinali elettori, d'improvviso, propone di eleggere un piccolo parroco dall'animo grande. Il miracolo infine accade. L'eletto assume il nome di Celestino VI, in memoria dell'altro Celestino, quello del "gran rifiuto" dantesco. Il racconto di Adriana Zarri esplora il terreno delle innovazioni, delle decisioni rischiose, delle difficoltà e delle lotte che l'elezione di un papa povero e non convenzionale inevitabilmente aprirebbe. Celestino VI è il "suo" papa, il papa come lei lo vorrebbe, gatto compreso, che, guarda caso, qui si chiama Lutero. Anche il nostro Celestino sarà tentato dal "gran rifiuto", il ritorno cioè alla pace della sua parrocchia; il racconto, qui, apre e svolge due possibilità: la rinuncia, appunto, oppure l'accettazione dell'arduo cammino cui il protagonista è stato chiamato. Le pagine più belle sono quelle in cui Adriana, con tenerezza e commozione, racconta l'animo travagliato del suo personaggio e, per suo tramite, ci fa riflettere sul bisogno disperato di conversione della Chiesa dei nostri giorni. | null | 3/1/2008 | {"name":"Adriana Zarri","num_books":23,"num_followers":"1"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":5,"reviews_percentage":100}} | "$3.99" |

What he doesn’t have is someone to share it all with, someone he loves and who loves him in return.
In spite of the belief that if Cain kisses enough frogs he’ll eventually find the prince of his dreams, the search is proving far from simple. As owner and manager of The Peony, the town’s classiest restaurant, Cain doesn’t have much time for a social life. He’s tried all the usual avenues for meeting people, including a dating agency, and he’s about given up...
But then Cain accepts an invitation to a singles masquerade party and meets a masked man in an elaborate headdress of black feathers who sends his thoughts and senses reeling with excitement. The stranger invites Cain to dance, and from the instant they touch, Cain truly believes, at long last, that this is the special man he’s been waiting for.
A few minutes later, however, the man answers a phone call, mutters something about an emergency and disappears, leaving Cain in a complete panic. The rules of the masquerade include no removal of masks and no exchange of names. If you can’t somehow figure out the identity of the person who sparked your interest, you lose. And Cain doesn’t want to lose, but without the man’s name and no idea what he looks like, he feels hopeless. All he knows about “Black Feathers” is that he’s a little taller and heavier than himself, but that could describe half the town’s male population.
Will Cain be able to track down the alluring stranger in order to determine if they’re truly destined for a future? | ["M M Romance"] | 3/19/2011 | {"name":"Christiane France","num_books":76,"num_followers":"36"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":5},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":5,"reviews_percentage":26},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":9,"reviews_percentage":47},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":3,"reviews_percentage":15},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":5}} | null |

Plot and counter plot are interwoven where friends and enemies are found in the most unexpected places. But it is an unsuspecting apprentice magician at the court of Fyordorn with a somewhat unconventional approach to magic who is pivotal to the final outcome. Since publication The Apprentice of Fyordorn has been followed by a sequel The Grain of Truth and a prequel The Voids of Discovery. As such it can be considered the second book of a trilogy. ‘It was a tired and exhausted Master of Sarros who finally left the comfort of his chair and walked wearily to the collection of spheres hovering at the far end of the room. They graphically showed the status of his war with Altim. Grimly he was reminded that more were flame red and under Altim’s control than blue and under his protection. How could a tiny speck of sand be the cause of so much bloodshed? But then ‘the grain of truth’ protected by layers of differing magic was said to contain the knowledge of all the known worlds. It was that knowledge that the Grand Master of Altim had vowed to discover at any cost. And it was on the blue sphere representing the world of Erith that the magic that would unlock its secrets might be found. Shaking his head he made his way to a low table and studied a chequered board on which a number of figurines were displayed. Slowly his hand moved to that of a raven. He held it for a while and then gently placed it on a square already occupied by his eagle. The small blue sphere at the far end of the room shone with a raven’s image. His decisive move had been made. Later that evening seated again in his chair he watched it glow once more. The image of a hawk appeared. The Grand Master of Altim had made his counter move and a Guardian had been put in place. ‘ | null | 10/10/2011 | {"name":"Colin Hawkes","num_books":4} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":4},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":19},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":7,"reviews_percentage":33},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":6,"reviews_percentage":28},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":3,"reviews_percentage":14}} | "$2.99" |

V bistvu na zelo izviren način obravnava variacijo prvega stika v paralelnem svetu, čas ("časovanje") pa mu je za to osnoven medij oz. stična točka med vzporedji in sobivanji.
Osnovna tema je zastavljena skozi filozofijo prostora in predvsem časa, skozi tematiziranje dotika, besede in pogleda v funkciji prvega stika ter skozi novorek in njegove odtenke, ki so tudi pomotujoči, napačni in tragični. V ubeseditvi se ves čas prepletata dve komponenti: znanstvenofantastična z zgoščeno, humano in široko sporočilnostjo, skoraj že s pozivom po strpnosti do drugačnosti, celo ne-normalnosti, in realistična z nazornim pričevanjem in prepoznavno odslikavo razmer ter odnosov v slovenskem novinarstvu.
V odnosu in komunikaciji med izkušenim novinarjem (časnikarjem), ki naj bi v času kislih kumaric napisal zabavno poletno reportažo o nezemeljskih bitjih ("postavice"), in nezemeljsko protagonistko iz tujega, vzporednega vesolja, ki je humanejše od našega, se nam razkrijejo nove in neznane razsežnosti človekovega in siceršnjega bivanja, njihovi mogoči in nemožni preseki ter odpro prepadi, ki obstajajo med kozmičnimi raznovrstji.
Dnevniško napisan roman, ki se dogaja neznosno vročega julija in avgusta, se na koncu znajde zapečaten na sodnomedicinskem inštitutu, nedostopen javnosti, ter se tako kljub svojemu osnovnemu sporočilu izteče v nerazumevanje drugačnosti.

There are a lot of diets out there, and they all promise to deliver the results that you want. Of course, you
don’t really care what you are doing, as long as you lose the weight that you have been wanting to lose.

that is a lifestyle. Originally, this is a diet that was created to help people with various illnesses, including
epilepsy.
This isn’t a diet plan, this is a way of life, and it is one that is designed to be easy to follow. The problem
is, there are still mistakes that you can make, especially as a beginner.
That is where this book comes in. Teaching you everything you need to know from the basics of the diet to the
common mistakes first time users make, by the time you reach the end of this book, you are going to be set to start

Sota la pell del diable | ["Alfred Bosch"] | 3.71 | 14 | 1 | La trilogia obeeix al fil conductor de la crònica de l’anglès John Sinclair, personatge de ficció. El conjunt s’emmarca en els anys que porten als fets de 1714 —quan es tanca el periple. L’èpica dels catalans s’anuncia i es desencadena a remolc de la conversió personal de Sinclair, protagonista i narrador que va madurant al llarg del relat. Si el primer volum pren l’aire d’una comèdia d’aventures, i el segon d’un drama emocional, el tercer és una autèntica tragèdia. Se succeeixen, així, en una sola terna literària, els tres gèneres clàssics.
Sinclair marxa a Londres, quan la guerra sembla perduda per als catalans. Però l'aventurer jove d'abans s'ha convertit en un home reflexiu i inquiet. L'enyorança d'aquella gent desesperada, i d'una dona barcelonina, el fan tornar. Quan desembarca a Barcelona, es troba amb un ambient de radicalitat i de fanatisme religiós exacerbat, i amb la seva enamorada reclosa en un convent.
Recupera la dona de la seva vida, però aleshores tots dos es converteixen en el blanc d'una profecia en la que són elevats al rang d'aparició sagrada. Aquella Moreneta i aquell Sant Jordi anglès, aclamats com a redemptors per un poble abandonat pels poders terrenals i divins, concentren les il.lusions col.lectives de salvació. Això els atorga impunitat i també els lliga a la terra: el seu pelegrinatge per la Catalunya devastada serà la història d'un idil.li turmentós. | null | 2/1/2002 | {"name":"Alfred Bosch","num_books":39,"num_followers":"9"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":7},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":28},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":7,"reviews_percentage":50},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":14}} | null |

If the Gods of Ireland request that she couple with the king, so be it. If it is also their wish that he marry another woman, who is Chiomara, a simple Druid, to stand in their way? Erc Breac, king of the Dalriada, can only think of Chiomara. Her beauty is surreal and the tales that follow her across the land unsurpassed. But that is not enough when faced with the obligations of a king. His people must come first. His future wife and queen, Macha, must come first. Yet, fate is a slippery thing. Will Erc risk the whole of his kingdom for what lays in his heart? This story contains strong sexual content and is recommended for a mature audience.

A far-flung debate ensued, engaging scores of contestants in countless journals and newspapers. A new volume collects for the first time the original symposium and the most important responses, with a new 90-page essay by First Things' Richard John Neuhaus, "The Anatomy of a Controversy." Collected here is the original November 1996 symposium on "The End of Democracy? The Judicial Usurpation of Politics," in which Robert Bork, Russell Hittinger, Hadley Arkes, Charles Colson, Robert George, and the editors of First Things confront five decades of judicial decrees arrogating to the courts the final say on abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, obscenity, and other fundamental questions of how we order our lives together. Responses from 20 eminent commentators follow (including Gertrude Himmelfarb, Mary Ann Glendon, William Bennett, Norman Podhoretz, and William Kristol), ranging from condemnation of the symposium's reckless flirtation with rebellion to praise for its forthright engagement of distressing but urgent questions. An extended review of the contours and implications of the controversy by Father Neuhaus rounds out the volume. | null | 9/15/1997 | {"name":"Richard John Neuhaus","num_books":75,"num_followers":"26"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":3,"reviews_percentage":50},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":3,"reviews_percentage":50},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | null |

In his classic, 1984, George Orwell selected certain features of his society as a basic skeleton, then fleshed political fiction over the bones. Many parallels between 1984 and the modern world have long been recognized. In Orwell's Warning: The Greatest Amerikan Paradox, Erik Blaire compares these features to the paradoxes of American politics, violence, and religion. Finding they are inseparable, he proposes that American freedom must therefore also be paradoxical. Armed with clues derived by examining American schizophrenia, obedience, disobedience, and paranoia, Blaire adopts as a factual skeleton the historical puzzle of Francisco Pizarro's conquering the mightiest empire of South America in one evening with a single boat load of men. Solving the puzzle, he then fleshes in fiction a working model for the most important, yet most neglected of Orwell's features, the central secret of Oceania. Blaire's conclusion: Any society which is founded on, and therefore conceals a central secret, must be characterized by a paradoxical or Orwellian state of freedom just like The Greatest Amerikan Paradox.

The fears of California someday tumbling into the sea--that have become the stuff of parody--become real. But even the terror resulting from this catastrophe pales in comparison to the understanding behind its happening, a cataclysm extending beyond mankind's understanding of horror as it had previously been known. The world is falling apart because things are out of joint at the quantum level, about which of course there's never been any guarantee that everything has to remain stable.Koji Suzuki returns to the genre he's most famous for after many years of "not wanting to write any more horror." As expected from Suzuki, the chills are of a more cerebral, psychological sort, arguably more unsettling and scary than the slice-and-dice gore fests that horror has become known in the U.S. Never content to simply do "Suzuki"--as it were--but rather push the envelope on what horror is in general and for which readers have come to know him, Edge borders on being cutting-edge science fiction. The author himself terms this novel, which he has worked on for some years, a work of "quantum horror." | ["Horror","Fiction","Science Fiction","Japanese Literature","Japan","Mystery","Asia","Science Fiction Fantasy","Dystopia","Apocalyptic"] | 6/26/2012 | {"name":"Kōji Suzuki","num_books":115,"num_followers":"1198"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":44,"reviews_percentage":7},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":108,"reviews_percentage":19},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":163,"reviews_percentage":28},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":164,"reviews_percentage":29},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":84,"reviews_percentage":14}} | "$12.99" |

Hrebenar"] | 4 | 2 | null | Political Parties, Interest Groups, and Political Campaigns is intended for use in courses dealing with political parties, campaigns and elections, or interest groups. In one integrated text, this book covers the history and contemporary organization of political parties, the nature of the electoral system and modern American election campaigns, and the activities of interest groups. The central theme of this book is that the actions of political parties and interest groups are no longer played out in separate spheres of the political world, but are increasingly bound together. Nowhere is the overlap of interest group and party activity more apparent than in the modern political campaign.The book is organized around the idea that modern political campaigns link political parties and interest groups. Both political parties and interest groups have been forced to adapt to the changing circumstances of American politics in the contemporary era. Election campaigns have become more candidate-centered, increasingly driven by polls and media coverage, and fueled by staggering amounts of money. Political parties have adapted to these circumstances by becoming more proficient at providing the services that candidates require in modern campaigns, while interest groups have adapted by applying the style and techniques of election campaigns to their own political issue campaigns run by hired assistants from the worlds of public relations, polling, and campaign management.Part One explains the history and development of political parties in the United States, the contemporary organization of the major parties, and the electoral environment in which the parties compete. Part Two ties political parties to modern campaigns, with special emphasis on recent presidential and congressional elections, and examines the problems of campaign finance. Part Three links interest groups to political parties through the bridge of political campaigns. Interest groups are examined as they participate in candidate-centered campaigns, issue campaigns, and interest group lobbying campaigns. | null | 3/1/1999 | {"name":"Ronald J.

Yet the Bible is written to be understood, and Revelation is no exception. Who better to help you understand the seals, trumpets, vials, woes, and plagues than John F. Walvoord, one of evangelicalism's most prominent leaders, and Mark Hitchcock, today's leading Bible prophecy expert?
