Cat's Cradle

By Unknown Author

Cat's Cradle is Kurt Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a midget as the protagonist, a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer, and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers, Cat's Cradle is one of the twentieth century's most important works -- and Vonnegut at his very best.

Sheila Webb, typist-for-hire, has arrived at 19 Wilbraham Crescent in the seaside town of Crowdean to accept a new job. What she finds is a well-dressed corpse surrounded by five clocks. Mrs Pebmarsh, the blind owner of No. 19, denies all knowledge of ringing Sheila’s secretarial agency and asking for her by name — yet someone did. Nor does she own that many clocks. And neither woman seems to know the victim. Colin Lamb, a young intelligence specialist working a case of his own at the nearby naval yard, happens to be on the scene at the time of Sheila Webb’s ghastly discovery. Lamb knows of only one man who can properly investigate a crime as bizarre and baffling as what happened inside No. 19 — his friend and mentor, Hercule Poirot.

The Feminine Mystique
The Feminine Mystique

By Unknown Author

Landmark, groundbreaking, classic―these adjectives barely do justice to the pioneering vision and lasting impact of The Feminine Mystique. Published in 1963, it gave a pitch-perfect description of “the problem that has no name”: the insidious beliefs and institutions that undermined women’s confidence in their intellectual capabilities and kept them in the home. Writing in a time when the average woman first married in her teens and 60 percent of women students dropped out of college to marry, Betty Friedan captured the frustrations and thwarted ambitions of a generation and showed women how they could reclaim their lives. Part social chronicle, part manifesto, The Feminine Mystique is filled with fascinating anecdotes and interviews as well as insights that continue to inspire.

Interaction of Colour
Interaction of Colour

By Unknown Author

Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1963, Interazione del colore fu pensato da Josef Albers come un manuale di supporto didattico per artisti, docenti e studenti. Nelle sue pagine, attraverso esperimenti ed esempi pratici, viene illustrata la teoria del colore sviluppata dall’autore durante gli anni di insegnamento al Bauhaus. Lo scopo delle lezioni di Josef Albers è sviluppare l’occhio per il colore, quella sensibilità per la luce e le tonalità che il solo studio teorico dell’ottica e dei sistemi cromatici non può in alcun modo affinare. Il risultato è un percorso semplice ma articolato che vuole essere uno stimolo alla formazione di un «pensare pratico» in cui l’esperimento e la scoperta accompagnano la creatività. Cinquant’anni dopo la sua prima edizione, Interazione del colore è ormai un caposaldo nello studio del colore. Questa nuova edizione presenta una selezione aggiornata e ampliata delle tavole a colori che illustrano i princìpi espressi da Albers nel corso di lezioni e dimostrazioni. Josef Albers (Bottrop, 1888 – New Haven, 1976), pittore e designer tedesco, si forma nell’ambiente del Bauhaus, dove entra come allievo nel 1920 e rimane come docente fino alla chiusura, nel 1933. Si trasferisce quindi negli Stati Uniti, dove per sedici anni insegna al Black Mountain College del North Carolina. Nel 1950 viene chiamato a dirigere il dipartimento di Grafica e Design all’Università di Yale. Qui, dopo il suo ritiro nel 1958, viene insignito del titolo di professore emerito. Nel 1968 Albers è eletto membro del National Institute of Arts and Letters. È il primo artista vivente a cui sia stata dedicata una retrospettiva, nel 1971, al Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York.

Never Cry Wolf
Never Cry Wolf

By Unknown Author

Biologist Farley Mowat was dropped into Eskimo lands by the Canadian Government, that was looking for an excuse to eradicate wolves. What he discovered instead was astonishing. The Eskimos were listening to wolves from five miles away, messages from the Canis lupus telegraph system. One example was the instance that two men and a woman were going to arrive in three days. All these communications were veridicated! Their social structure was self-aware and intelligent. They were NOT eating up all the caribou, as the Government wanted to project, but cleaning up mice in plague proportions. Yum. His scientific reportage was meanwhile hilariously funny, and the book is magnificent.

Aunada a la brutalidad propia de la vida militar, a lo largo de las páginas de esta extraordinaria novela, la vehemencia y la pasión de la juventud se desbocan hasta llegar a una furia, una rabia y un fantasimo que anulan toda sensibilidad". - Back cover.

Poirot's Early Cases
Poirot's Early Cases

By Unknown Author

With his career still in its formative years, we learn many things about how Poirot came to exercise those famous "grey cells" so well. Fourteen of the eighteen stories collected herein are narrated by Captain Arthur Hastings—including what would appear to be the earliest Poirot short story, The Affair at the Victory Ball, which follows soon on the events of The Mysterious Affair at Styles. Two of the stories are narrated by Poirot himself, to Hastings. One, The Chocolate Box, concerns Poirot's early days on the Belgian police force, and the case that was his greatest failure: "My grey cells, they functioned not at all," Poirot admits. But otherwise, in this most fascinating collection, they function brilliantly, Poiro's grey cells, challenging the reader to keep pace at every twist and turn.

Tales of Terror and Mystery
Tales of Terror and Mystery

By Unknown Author

From the book:The idea that the extraordinary narrative which has been called the Joyce-Armstrong Fragment is an elaborate practical joke evolved by some unknown person, cursed by a perverted and sinister sense of humour, has now been abandoned by all who have examined the matter. The most macabre and imagi-native of plotters would hesitate before linking his morbid fancies with the unquestioned and tragic facts which reinforce the statement. Though the assertions contained in it are amazing and even monstrous, it is none the less forcing itself upon the general intelligence that they are true, and that we must readjust our ideas to the new situation. This world of ours appears to be separated by a slight and precarious margin of safety from a most singular and unexpected danger. I will endeavour in this narrative, which reproduces the original document in its necessarily somewhat fragmentary form, to lay before the reader the whole of the facts up to date, prefacing my statement by saying that, if there be any who doubt the narrative of Joyce-Armstrong, there can be no question at all as to the facts concerning Lieutenant Myrtle, R. N., and Mr. Hay Connor, who undoubtedly met their end in the manner described. ---------- Contains: - Tales of Terror The Horror of the Heights The Leather Funnel The New Catacomb The Case of Lady Sannox The Terror of Blue John Gap The Brazilian Cat - Tales of Mystery The Lost Special The Beetle-Hunter The Man with the Watches The Japanned Box The Black Doctor The Jew's Breastplate

False Colours

By Unknown Author

When the charming but irresponsible Lady Amabel, Countess of Denville is left a young widow the problem of her mounting debts becomes acute. So she is lucky to have such resourceful twin sons as Evelyn and Christopher Fancot to steer the family through a desperate intrigue to restore the Denvilles' fortunes. The danger is that, at times, the family's pressing financial needs are almost overshadowed by the even greater demands of young hearts. But, just when disaster seems certain, their adorable Mama, quite unpredictably, saves the day. The Honourable Christopher "Kit" Fancot, on leave from the diplomatic service in the summer of 1817, is startled to find his entrancing but incorrigibly extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin - and more than alarmed to find that his twin, Evelyn, the new Earl of Denville, has disappeared without trace. Handsome and eligible as the titled elder of the renowned Fancot twins was, no one would forgive him if he failed to appear before his fiancee's family. For even though they did not love each other, he could hardly embarrass the charming Cressida Stavely at her own engagement party. And if the match were wrecked, it would dash the last hope of getting his lovely, improvident mother out of debt. The incorrigible Lady Fancot persuades her younger son to impersonate his twin -- just for one night, she promises. Kit, appeared at the party just in time to double for the missing Earl. With his intelligence he succeeded in deceiving all present. Kit - is forced to continued the outrageous masquerade by the tangled affairs of his wayward family: his rigid uncle, Lord Brumby, the surprisingly wily Sir Bonamy Ripple, the formidable old Lady Stavely and Evelyn's betrothed, Cressy. But in the face of Evelyn's continues absence, Kit's ingenuity is stretched to the limit.... And with his superb manners he not only charmed Cressy's formidable grandmother, but made Cressy herself wonder if she could love her fiance after all... The masquerade sets off a tangled sequence of events that engage Kit's heart far more deeply than he'd ever anticipated with his brother's fiancee--who might know much more about what's going on than she cares to reveal...

History of architecture
History of architecture

By Unknown Author

A History of Architecture is the first major work of history to include an overview of the architectural achievements of the 20th Century. Banister Fletcher has been the standard one volume architectural history for over 100 years and continues to give a concise and factual account of world architecture from the earliest times. In this twentieth and centenary edition, edited by Dan Cruickshank with three consultant editors and fourteen new contributors, chapters have been recast and expanded and a third of the text is new. There are new chapters on the twentieth-century architecture of the Middle East (including Israel), South-east Asia, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea, the Indian subcontinent, Russia and the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and Latin America. The book's scope has been widened to include more architecture from non European countries and coverage of pre twentieth century architecture now includes 6 chapters on Islam. For the first time in Banister Fletcher's A History of Architecture the architecture of the20th century is considered as a whole and assessed in a historical perspective. There is more information on vernacular buildings and engineered structures as well as many new plans and sections. This unique reference book places buildings in their social, cultural and historical settings to describe the main patterns of architectural development, from Prehistoric to the International Style. Again in the words of Sir Banister Fletcher, this book shows that 'Architecture ... provides a key to the habits, thoughts and aspirations of the people, and without a knowledge of this art the history of any period lacks that human interest with which it should be invested.' Winner of the International Architecture Book Award, The American Institute of Architects Book of the Century. THE source book for the historical development of architecture.

**One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society** is a 1964 book by the philosopher Herbert Marcuse, in which the author offers a wide-ranging critique of both contemporary capitalism and the Communist society of the Soviet Union, documenting the parallel rise of new forms of social repression in both these societies, as well as the decline of revolutionary potential in the West. He argues that "advanced industrial society" created false needs, which integrated individuals into the existing system of production and consumption via mass media, advertising, industrial management, and contemporary modes of thought.

City of Night
City of Night

By Unknown Author

When John Rechy's explosive first novel appeared in 1963, it marked a radical departure in fiction, and gave voice to a subculture that had never before been revealed with such acuity. It earned comparisons to Genet and Kerouac, even as Rechy was personally attacked by scandalized reviewers. Nevertheless, the book became an international bestseller, and fifty years later, it has become a classic. Bold and inventive in style, Rechy is unflinching in his portrayal of one hustling "youngman" and his search for self-knowledge within the neon-lit world of hustlers, drag queens, and the denizens of their world, as he moves from El Paso to Times Square, from Pershing Square to the French Quarter. Now including never-seen original marked galley pages and an interview with the author, Rechy's portrait of the edges of America has lost none of its power to move and exhilarate.

"...the first book on jazz by a negro writer...new and highly provocative conclusions bolstered by bothe history and sociology...a must for all who could more knowledgeably appreciate and better comprehend America's most popular music, Negros in origin -Blues based- but now belonging to everybody." Langston Hugues "*Blues people* is not only a fresh, incisively instructive reinterpretation of Negro music in America, but it is also crucially relevant to Negro-white relationship today." Nat Hentoff "The first real attempts to place jazz and the blues within the context of American social history. Moreover, it represents one of the first efforts of a Negro writer to examine that relationship, and certainly one of the most exhaustive by any... *Blues People* is American musical history; it is also American cultural, economic and even emotional history. It traces not only the development of the Negros music which affected white America, but also the Negro value which affected white America."

Langman's medical embryology

The street of crocodiles
The street of crocodiles

By Unknown Author

This a magical book of short stories set in a small town in Poland during the period between the two World Wars. The writer, Bruno Schulz, wrote only two books in his lifetime but the two are so rich in vision that they contain a whole world. There are wonderful stories of childhood and how a child's imagination transforms the world; and there are more sombre tales with a sort of Kafkaesque feel to them. The author was also a graphic artist and illustrated his books with very high-quality etchings and lithographs that depict life in his town. As a curious aside, his books began as stories he told in the margins of letters he wrote to a friend. She encouraged him to expand on these little tales and the results were truly beautiful. In short, Bruno Schulz is one of the best little-known writers (little known in North America, that is, because I think he is more acknowledged in Europe)

The Human Body
The Human Body

By Unknown Author

"In writing a book about the human body there is the great advantage that all the readers know what a human body is." Who but Isaac Asimov would begin a serious textbook in such a jovial way? Sketching first the biological order of the evolutionary process until he reaches its apogee, man, he establishes the place of homo sapens in Nature's scheme. Then, limb by limb, organ by organ, occasionally cell by cell, he describes man internally and externally in terms of his chemical and structural nature. Throughout, technical terminology is followed by an informal phonetic breakdown and etymological identification. By contrasting man's posture with that of various animals, Asimov clearly and explains the origin of various aches, pains, and susceptibilities such as slipped lines, fallen and attributing these to the difference between bipedality and . Impacted wisdom teeth, hiccups and other common afflictions are also explained. There is an unusually lucid and sympathetic discussion of the circumstances of human procreation. Asimov is now working on a companion volume on the brain, nervous system, and sensory organs, treated only in passing here. This widely-read science fiction author (I Robot, of Steel The Martian Way, and many others), is an Associate Professor of Biochemistry at Boston University School of Medicine. This is his ninth book on biological subjects; he also writes on mathematics and philology. - Kirkus Review.

Lessico famigliare

"Natalia Ginzburg, one of Italy's great writers, introduced A Family Lexicon, her most celebrated work, with an unusual disclaimer: "The places, events and people are all real. I have invented nothing. Every time that I have found myself inventing something in accordance with my old habits as a novelist, I have felt impelled at once to destroy everything thus invented." A Family Lexicon re-creates with extraordinary objectivity the small world of a family enduring some of the most difficult years of the twentieth century, the period from the rise of Mussolini through World War II (Ginzburg's first husband, who was a member of the resistance, was killed by the Nazis) and its immediate aftermath. Every family has its store of phrases and sayings by which it maintains its sense of what it means to be a family. Such sayings and stories lie at the heart of a great novel about family and history"--

The Girls of Slender Means is Dame Muriel Spark's tragic portrait of a London ladies' hostel just emerging from the shadow of World War II.

The novel's ending reveals that the girls' giddy literary and amorous peregrinations are hiding some tragically painful war wounds.
