Milosevici. Portretul Unui Tiran

Editura: All

Anul aparitiei: 2007

Cine a fost Slobodan Milosevic? Figura centrala a haosului din fosta Iugoslavie, viata lui Milosevic a ramas totusi invaluita in mister. Cartea este o biografie a fostului presedinte iugoslav, Slobodan Milosevic. Cei doi autori alcatuiesc un portret al dictatorului, incepand cu tineretea acestuia si continuand cu ascensiunea in cercurile comuniste si exploatarea nationalismului sarbesc cu scopul de a ajunge la putere. Autorii subliniaza si parteneriatul dintre Milosevic si sotia acestuia, Mirjana, despre care cred ca a exercitat o influenta enorma asupra sotului ei. Greseala cea mai mare a dictatorilor nu consta in viziunea lor eronata asupra lumii, nici in cruzimile prin care se mentin la putere, ci in convingerea ca stapanirea lor va dura vesnic. Asta desi istoria le ofera nenumarate exemple de tirani care au platit cu capul dorinta lor avida de putere. Cel mai recent exemplu care ne este la indemna, pentru ca ne priveste personal, ar fi cel al cuplului Ceausescu. Milosevici pe care il putem asemana cu ei in multe privinte nu face nici el exceptie de la regula. Si totusi, istoria nu iarta, iar tiranul de la Belgrad avea sa inteleaga ca el nu poate fi mai presus de cursul ...

SECRETELE BAIETILOR

Editura: All

Bineinteles ca am visat cu totii la Hogwarts, dar sa fim seriosi: ceea ce ma ingrijoreaza mai mult sunt proprii mei negi. Ca sa nu mai vorbim de milioanele de cosuri, asortate cu dureri de cap si alergii si cu o viata sexuala aproape inexistenta (daca asta poate fi numita viata). Apoi mai sunt drogurile si bautura si nenumaratele probleme de acasa si " si " si " Ei bine, cititi-mi jurnalul si veti afla, pentru ca, afland care sunt problemele cu care m-am confruntat eu ati putea gasi solutii pentru propriile voastre dileme! Autorii despre seria CLUBUL ADOLESCENTILOR Cand am inceput aceasta serie, tinerii gaseau prea putine informatii despre sanatatea lor. Toate cartile pentru ei erau plictisitoare, scrise la modul "nu face asta", nu ai voie sa"". Cum si copiii nostri deveneau adolescenti am vrut sa le oferim si lor ceva care sa fie si interesant si folositor. Am lucrat mult cu tineri de 15-16 ani in scoli din Marea Britanie, incercand sa aflam raspunsuri la intrebari precum "Porti ochelari?", " Te sperie divortul parintilor ta?", "Te droghezi?". La randul lor ei ne-au scris despre problemele lor de sanatate si ne-am gandit ca aceste povestiri, unele interesante, altele foarte ...

FAULT! LUMEA SECRETA A ORGANIZATIEI FIFA

Editura: All

Nicio persoana nu a reusit pana acum sa patrunda in domeniul secret al celei mai importante organizatii a fotbalului mondial, FIFA. Pana cand a fost scrisa cartea de fata. Andrew Jennings, un remarcabil reporter de investigatie din lumea sporturilor, a petrecut patru ani in lumea intunecata si misterioasa a acestui minunat sport. Rezultatul obtinut de el este o descriere exploziva a FIFA, o carte care ne infatiseaza modul in care barbatii in costume negre pun ambitiile personale si afacerile in stil mare, puterea si banii inaintea intereselor fanilor din tribune si din fata televizoarelor. Cartea relateaza povestiri si intamplari pe care FIFA le-ar dori sa ramana necunoscute. O fermecatoare combinatie de jurnalism de cel mai inalt profesionalism, exceptional talent narativ si umor trist, aceasta carte este cea mai importanta lucrare scrisa vreodata despre oamenii care controleaza cel mai popular sport de pe planeta.

GANDHI. VOL. I UN SOLDAT AL PACII

Editura: All

Anul aparitiei: 2010

Un barbat fragil, infasurat in khadi, zambeste multimii. Fratii sai indieni au venit sa-l aclame, pe el, cel care le-a promis sa ingenuncheze Imperiul Britanic prin nonviolenta. Destinul unui intreg popor este in mainile lui. Mahatma Gandhi este pe cale sa intre in istorie. Viata sa a fost o indelungata lupta, pe care Jose Freches o evoca in aceasta fresca vie si patrunzatoare in doua volume: primul - Sunt un soldat al pacii , iar al doilea - Si India va fi libera! De la copilul timid, la adolescentul casatorit prea devreme si, mai tarziu, la tanarul revoltat de ticalosia segregarii rasiale, Mohandas Gandhi a fost insotit de o imensa sete de adevar si dreptate. Atunci cand s-a decis sa lupte impotriva tuturor discriminarilor, inarmat de forta spiritului si de vointa, a devenit un veritabil soldat al libertatii. Volumul al doilea acopera perioada dintre 1915, anul intoarcerii lui Gandhi in India, si 1948, anul mortii sale. Cititorul il va insoti in numeroasele sale calatorii, in regiunile cele mai sarace, pentru a predica nonviolenta, dragostea fata de viitor si toleranta. Gandhi va fi arestat, va suferi de foame, va evada din inchisoare si va fi asasinat pe 30 ianuarie 1948. ...

ENCICLOPEDIA SOCIETATILOR SECRETE SI A ISTORIEI ASCUNSE

Editura: All

Anul aparitiei: 2010

Dincolo de istoria binecunoscuta a lumii se afla o a doua istorie, o istorie ascunsa a societatilor secrete, a civilizatiilor disparute, a conspiratiilor sinistre si a evenimentelor misterioase. Viziuni alternative asupra istoriei exista de mai bine de cincizeci de ani, iar cultura populara a cazut adesea prada acestora si a facut o adevarata obsesie din ele, incepand de la Dosarele X si pana la romanul lui Dan Brown, Codul lui da Vinci, care a devenit un fenomen de masa . Enciclopedia societatilor secrete si a istoriei ascunse reuneste intreaga informatie pe care ati dorit vreodata s-o aveti la indemana pentru a putea patrunde tainele acestei lumi misterioase. Veti gasi in paginile ei fapte, argumente, figuri importante si teorii care au gravitat in jurul intrebarilor importante pe care ni le punem cu totii astazi: este adevarat ca societatile secrete controleaza lumea si, daca este asa, care sunt planurile lor? Care sunt originile reale ale crestinismului, francmasoneriei sau ale Revolutiei franceze? Care este importanta regelui Arthur, a lui Leonardo da Vinci si a lui Adolf Hitler pentru societatile secrete din lume? Ca si in cazul celebrei legende a cautarii Sfantului ...

Head First Java

Editura: O'Reilly Media

Anul aparitiei: 2005

Learning a complex new language is no easy task especially when it s an object-oriented computer programming language like Java. You might think the problem is your brain. It seems to have a mind of its own, a mind that doesn't always want to take in the dry, technical stuff you're forced to study. The fact is your brain craves novelty. It's constantly searching, scanning, waiting for something unusual to happen. After all, that's the way it was built to help you stay alive. It takes all the routine, ordinary, dull stuff and filters it to the background so it won't interfere with your brain's real work--recording things that matter. How does your brain know what matters? It's like the creators of the Head First approach say, suppose you're out for a hike and a tiger jumps in front of you, what happens in your brain? Neurons fire. Emotions crank up. Chemicals surge. That's how your brain knows.And that's how your brain will learn Java. Head First Java combines puzzles, strong visuals, mysteries, and soul-searching interviews with famous Java objects to engage you in many different ways. It's fast, it's fun, and it's effective. And, despite its playful appearance, Head First Java is ...
