John Bleasdale, "The Magic Hours: The Films and Hidden Life of Terrence Malick "
English | ISBN: 1985901196 | 2024 | 292 pages | EPUB | 22 MB
Terrence Malick is the most enigmatic film director currently working. Since the early seventies, his work has won top prizes at film festivals worldwide and brought him wide recognition as the cinematic equivalent of a poet. His life is shrouded in mystery, leaving audiences with rumors, few established facts, and virtual silence from the filmmaker himself following his last published interview in 1979. This has done nothing to dim the luminous quality of his films, from Badlands (1973) and Days of Heaven (1978), to later works such as The Thin Red Line (1998), The Tree of Life (2011), and A Hidden Life (2019). The Magic Hours: The Films and Hidden Life of Terrence Malick is the first true biography of this visionary filmmaker. Through interviews and in-depth research, John Bleasdale reveals the autobiographical grounding of many of Malick's greatest films as well as the development of an experimental form of filmmaking that constantly expands the language of cinema. It is the essential account for anyone wishing to understand Malick and his work.

The McCartney Legacy: Volume 2: 1974 - 80: A comprehensive look at Paul McCartney's life and work post-Beatles by Allan Kozinn, Adrian Sinclair
English | December 10, 2024 | ISBN: 006300075X | True EPUB | 768 pages | 84.7 MB
The follow-up to The McCartney Legacy, Volume 1, the most complete work on the life and work of Paul McCartney ever published. Volume 2 continues to paint the portrait of one of the world's greatest musicians, his work post-Beatles, and his life from 1974 to 1980.

By 1974 the Beatles were a distant memory, and Paul McCartney had already gone on to release a solo album and form a new band, Wings. By the end of the decade Wings would be the bestselling band of the 1970s. The McCartney Legacy, Vol. 2 begins in 1974 at the height of Wings popularity and the beginning of McCartney's next chapter.
Picking up immediately after The McCartney Legacy, Volume 1, authors Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair have brought the same exhaustive research ethos to Volume 2 that made the first volume a critical success. Arguably the most authoritative text on the life of Paul McCartney, Volume 2 follows McCartney the man, establishing himself as a musician beyond Beatlemania and his legacy throughout the 20th century through the present day.

Florence Stone, "The Mentoring Advantage: Creating the Next Generation of Leaders"
English | 2004 | pages: 243 | ISBN: 0793186927 | PDF | 2,8 mb
Mentoring is sweeping through companies both large and small. Increasingly, companies are running formal mentoring programs as a means to speed employee growth, build corporate cohesiveness, shorten learning tracks, support diversity initiatives, and address succession issues. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of informal mentoring relationships exist as ambitious young managers and would-be entrepreneurs look for ways to achieve their career goals faster.

Regardless of the scenario, mentoring demands a variety of skills, according to award-winning business author Florence Stone. In The Mentoring Advantage, she outlines how executives, managers, and employees can get the very most out the mentoring relationship. She details specific behaviors that mentors require, as well as others they should avoid. In the process, readers will learn how to:
* Use corporate mentoring for developmental purposes.
* Design mentoring programs for strategic purposes, from succession planning to diversity training to lifelong learning.
* Avoid the pitfalls, get through crises and morale issues, clarify misconceptions, and realize the full benefits of a mentorship.
* Spot raw talent and mold others toward achieving growth and excellence, so they come away from the experience feeling better about themselves and what they do.
* Get out of a nonproductive mentoring relationship.
Stone describes the state of the art of mentoring, focusing on both information relationships as well as the numerous structured programs, from IBM to MTV to JP Morgan Chase. She also includes assessment tools, checklists, templates, case studies, and tips.

The Mindset of Kingdom Entrepreneur by Dr. Michael Onwona Appiah
English | May 6, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0CTHRSKMZ | 103 pages | EPUB | 1.41 Mb
In an age where the narrative of entrepreneurship is predominantly woven with threads of personal ambition, profit maximization, and market conquest, the concept of a 'Kingdom Entrepreneur' emerges as a refreshing and revolutionary paradigm. This book, "The Mindset of a Kingdom Entrepreneur", seeks to explore and elucidate this paradigm, integrating the timeless truths of Scripture with the dynamic principles of modern entrepreneurship.

The journey of writing this book has been one of profound discovery and reaffirmation. It is born out of a deep-seated conviction that entrepreneurship, when aligned with God's Kingdom purposes, can be an extraordinary force for good. This book is an invitation to explore how Christian faith and business acumen can not only coexist but synergize to create ventures that are successful, sustainable, and spiritually enriching.
At the heart of this book lies the concept of the Kingdom Entrepreneur - individuals who see their business endeavors as more than just a means to financial ends. These are men and women who recognize that they are stewards of God's resources, and their businesses are a platform for ministry and service. They operate with a conviction that their work is a form of worship, a tangible expression of their faith in Christ.
Throughout these pages, you will encounter principles and insights drawn from the Bible, anecdotes from contemporary and historical Christian business leaders, and practical strategies for integrating faith into business practices. We delve into topics such as the power of vision aligned with divine purpose, the importance of ethical practices and stewardship, and the transformational impact of servant leadership.
This book is not just for the seasoned entrepreneur. It is for anyone who aspires to integrate their faith with their vocational calling. Whether you are at the helm of a multi-million-dollar corporation, laying the first stone of a startup, or simply dreaming of a venture, this book is a compass to guide you in aligning your entrepreneurial aspirations with God's Kingdom purposes.
In writing this book, my prayer is that you, the reader, will be inspired, challenged, and equipped to embark on a journey of Kingdom entrepreneurship. May you discover the joy and fulfillment that comes from building a business that serves a purpose far greater than profit - a business that reflects the values of God's Kingdom and makes an eternal impact in the world.
"Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." - Matthew 6:33
Welcome to the journey of becoming a Kingdom Entrepreneur.

The Mysterious Losses of the USS Thresher and USS Scorpion: The History of the Only American Nuclear Submarines Lost at Sea
by Charles River Editors
English | December 5, 2024 | ASIN: B0DPRPTP9B | 117 pages | PDF | 59 Mb

It takes a special type of person to serve in a nation's navy, especially on long voyages that separate men and women from their loved ones, and no service is both loved and hated as that aboard submarines, for very few people ever serve on them on a whim. For one thing, the psychological impact of being trapped for long periods underwater in tight, cramped quarters is more than many people can stand. Also, submarine service is uncharacteristically hazardous; after all, if a surface vessel is sunk, the crew has a reasonable chance of escaping death in lifeboats or being rescued out of the water by another ship. Conversely, if a submarine is badly damaged while submerged, the crew's chances of survival are at best remote.
On the other hand, for those who choose to make the careers as submariners, there is no more beloved service. That is, one hopes, how it was for the 99 men who were serving on the USS Scorpion on May 22, 1968, the fateful day the submarine is believed to have sank. It appears that the crew members died quickly, but however it happened, the grief experienced by their family members dragged on for decades, exacerbated both by the Navy's lack of information about the submarine's final moments and the government's unwillingness to share what little knowledge it had.
It is easy in hindsight to criticize the military for its secrecy, but it must be remembered that the Scorpion disappeared at the height of the Cold War, and therefore, little could be said publicly about its fate. Coincidentally, 3 other nuclear submarines suffered mysterious sinkings the same year, and the Cold War adversaries were interested in locating them and gleaning any secrets or technology that they could from the other side's bad luck. Indeed, it was only after the fall of the Soviet Union that the truth could be told.
Given that there's such little margin for error in a submersible, many submarine losses remain sources of intrigue and mystery, and few rival the disappearance of the USS Thresher in that regard. In 1963, the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States was at its peak, as the Cuban Missile Crisis the previous year had brought the world to the brink of nuclear war and tensions were still running high. In space, the Soviet Union seemed to have taken the lead, putting the first satellite in Earth's orbit and placing the first man in space.
There was also another new theater of war, but one that was little-known at the time. Under the waters of the world's oceans, Soviet and American nuclear submarines were in intense competition, pushing the boundaries of new technologies. Some of these submarines carried nuclear missiles that carried more destructive power than all the bombs dropped by the U.S. Army Air Force throughout World War II, including the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Other submarines, the hunter-killers, were designed to find and destroy these missile-carrying submarines. All of these submarines engaged in their activities while aiming to avoid detection by the other side, establishing a clandestine conflict that was carried out far from the gaze of the public but still strategically vital. If either side could gain a notable advantage, it could abruptly change the fragile balance of power.
Then, in April 1963, one of the most advanced U.S. hunter-killer nuclear submarines and the 129 men onboard vanished while on a routine voyage. The USS Thresher was one of the country's most advanced ships, but it had the misfortune of becoming the first American nuclear submarine to be lost at sea, prompting obvious questions over what had happened. Had it accidentally collided with a Soviet ship? Was it destroyed by a new and secret Soviet weapon? Was it secretly captured and taken back to the Soviet Union to reveal its secrets? As it turned out, it would take longer than anyone could have guessed to find out what actually happened.

Gil Adamson, "The Outlander"
English | 2008 | pages: 401 | ISBN: 006149125X | PDF | 1,9 mb
"A remarkable first novel, full of verve, beautifully written, and with all the panache of a great adventure."

-Michael Ondaatje
In 1903 a mysterious young woman flees alone across the West, one heart-pounding step ahead of the law. At 19, Mary Boulton has just become a widow-and her husband's killer. As bloodhounds track her frantic race toward the mountains, she is tormented by the knowledge that her two ruthless brothers-in-law are in pursuit, determined to avenge their younger brother's death. Responding to little more than the primitive fight for life, the widow retreats ever deeper into the wilderness-and into the wilds of her own mind-encountering an unforgettable cast of eccentrics along the way.
With the stunning prose and captivating mood of great works like Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain or early Cormac McCarthy, Gil Adamson's intoxicating debut novel is the brilliant and gripping tale of one woman's desperate escape.

The Oyster Book: A Chronicle of the World's Most Fascinating Shellfish―Past, Present, and Future by Dan Martino
English | September 10, 2024 | ISBN: 157284342X | 320 pages | PDF | 15 Mb
An introduction to oysters and their place in our culture and food system-including a quick global history, an account of the current state of oyster farming, and a glimpse of the promising environmental solutions oyster farming offers in this age of food challenges and climate change.

The oyster is one of Earth's oldest animals, and fossil records show humans have enjoyed them for hundreds of thousands of years. But like so many other creatures, wild oysters were driven to near extinction by overconsumption and pollution. The Clean Water Act passed in 1972 marked a turning point for water quality, and decades later, we're witnessing a renaissance in oyster culture as the rise of aquaculture (ocean farming) attempts to supply a growing demand for oysters that increases exponentially year after year.
Internationally renowned oyster farmer Dan Martino guides readers through this fascinating history before presenting a detailed breakdown of the current state of the oyster industry as only an insider can describe it. He discusses husbandry, nursery, and farm techniques; the practical side of working with local government to set up a farm; tips for selling into the market; and what qualities make for the perfect oyster. He details the various global styles of farming and the species of oysters farmed, explaining how they differ in size, texture, shape, and taste-characteristics referred to as "merroir," to parallel the way "terroir" illuminates how the origin of place affects taste in wine.
The oyster has never been more relevant as we look to the future and the many challenges presented by climate change and a growing population. Martino explores how the current land-based food production system risks collapse as it tries to keep up with growing demand, and oyster farming, which uses no land and minimal freshwater input, is a natural alternative to more resource-intensive food sources. Oysters are also exceptionally good at capturing carbon, making them a necessary element in the quest for climate change solutions.
The Oyster Book is an exploration of the past, present, and future of humanity's relationship with the oyster, highlighting how humans can learn from our mistakes and harness the oyster's potential for a more sustainable future.

David Skarbek, "The Puzzle of Prison Order: Why Life Behind Bars Varies Around the World"
English | ISBN: 0190672501 | 2020 | 240 pages | PDF | 10 MB
Many people think prisons are all the same-rows of cells filled with violent men who officials rule with an iron fist. Yet, life behind bars varies in incredible ways. In some facilities, prison officials govern with care and attention to prisoners' needs. In others, officials have remarkably little influence on the everyday life of prisoners, sometimes not even providing necessities like food and clean water. Why does prison social order around the world look so remarkably different? In The Puzzle of Prison Order, David Skarbek develops a theory of why prisons and prison life vary so much. He finds that how they're governed-sometimes by the state, and sometimes by the prisoners-matters the most. He investigates life in a wide array of prisons-in Brazil, Bolivia, Norway, a prisoner of war camp, England and Wales, women's prisons in California, and a gay and transgender housing unit in the Los Angeles County Jail-to understand the hierarchy of life on the inside. Drawing on economics and a vast empirical literature on legal systems, Skarbek offers a framework to not only understand why life on the inside varies in such fascinating and novel ways, but also how social order evolves and takes root behind bars.

The Rest Is Memory: A Novel by Lily Tuck
English | December 10, 2024 | ISBN: 1324095725 | True EPUB | 128 pages | 0.7 MB
The heartbreaking story of a young Catholic girl transported to Auschwitz becomes a Rashomon-like rondo by one of our greatest novelists.


First glimpsed riding on the back of a boy's motorcycle, fourteen-year-old Czeslawa comes to life in this mesmerizing novel by Lily Tuck, who imagines her upbringing in a small Polish village before her world imploded in late 1942. Stripped of her modest belongings, shorn, and tattooed number 26947 on arriving at Auschwitz, Czeslawa is then photographed. Three months later, she is dead.
How did this happen to an ordinary Polish citizen? This is the question that Tuck grapples with in this haunting novel, which frames Czeslawa's story within the epic tragedy of six million Poles who perished during the German occupation. A decade prior to writing The Rest Is Memory, Tuck read an obituary of the photographer Wilhelm Brasse, who took more than 40,000 pictures of the Auschwitz prisoners. Included were three of Czeslawa Kwoka, a Catholic girl from rural southeastern Poland. Tuck cut out the photos and kept them, determined to learn more about Czeslawa, but she was only able to glean the barest facts: the village she came from, the transport she was on, that she was accompanied by her mother and her neighbors, her tattoo number, and the date of her death. From this scant evidence, Tuck's novel becomes a remarkable kaleidoscopic feat of imagination, something only our greatest novelists can do.
"Beautifully written, all the while instilling a sense of horror" (Susanna Moore), Tuck's language swirls about, yet not a word is out of place. The subtly rotating images tumble out at us, accelerating as we learn about Czeslawa's tragic stay in Auschwitz, the lives of real people such as the barbaric Commandant Rudolf Höss; his unconscionable wife, Hedwig; the psychiatrist and child rescuer Janusz Korczak; and the mordant Polish short story writer Tadeusz Borowski. Although we are certain of Czeslawa's fate, we have no choice but to keep turning the pages, thoroughly mesmerized by Tuck's near otherworldly prose.
In Lily Tuck's hands, The Rest Is Memory becomes an unforgettable work of historical reclamation that rescues an innocent life, one previously only recalled by a stark triptych of photographs.

The Rest Is Silence (New York Review Books Classics) by Augusto Monterroso, translated by Aaron Kerner
English | December 10, 2024 | ISBN: 1681378825 | True EPUB | 176 pages | 1.7 MB
The lone novel by a Latin American author of very short fiction (praised as "the most beautiful stories in the world" by Italo Calvino)-an antic, metafictional send-up of the Mexican literary scene told through the unreliable recollections of an aging critic's friends, relatives, and attendants.

The one and only novel by the renowned Guatemalan writer Augusto Monterroso-Latin America's most expansive miniaturist, whose tiny, acid, and bracingly surreal narratives Italo Calvino dubbed "the most beautiful stories in the world"-The Rest Is Silence presents the reader with the kaleidoscopic portrait of a provincial Mexican literary critic, one Eduardo Torres, a sort of Don Quixote of the Sunday supplements, whose colossal misreadings are matched only by the scale of his vanity.
Presented in the form of a festschrift for the aging writer, this rollicking metafiction offers up a bouquet of highly unreliable reminiscences by Torres's friends, relations, and servants (their accounts skewed by envy, ignorance, and sheer malice), along with a generous selection of the savant's own comically botched attempts at "criticism."
Monterroso's narrative is a ludicrous dissection of literary self-conceit, a (Groucho) Marxian skewering of the Mexican literary landscape, and perhaps a wry self-portrait by an author who is profoundly sensible of just how high the stakes of the art of criticism really are-and, consequently, of just how far it has to fall.
