După o pauză de 7 ani, autorul uimește și de această dată prin subiectul provocator adus în discuție. Cititorii fideli lui Cinamar au mărturisit de-a lungul anilor despre efectul cărților sale, folosind pentru aceasta unele cuvinte rar întâlnite în lumea forumurilor literare: provocator, convingător, hipnotic, revelator etc. Volumul 5 al seriei nu face excepție, fiind o prezentare uluitoare despre interiorul gol al Pământului.

Adesea, însă, cultura şi societatea au sufocat această „Femeie sălbatică”, au redus-o la tăcere, încercând cu obstinaţie să o „civilizeze", forţând-o să-şi asume roluri rigide, care-i înăbuşă elanurile.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*Ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

Editura: HARPER COLLINS

Anul aparitiei: 2016

#1 New York Times BestsellerOver 1 million copies soldIn this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is--a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited--"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises ...

Anul aparitiei: 2003

Originally published as an e-book that became a controversial media phenomenon, No More Mr. Nice Guy landed its author, a certified marriage and family therapist, on The O'Reilly Factor and the Rush Limbaugh radio show. Dr. Robert Glover has dubbed the "Nice Guy Syndrome" trying too hard to please others while neglecting one's own needs, thus causing unhappiness and resentfulness. It's no wonder that unfulfilled Nice Guys lash out in frustration at their loved ones, claims Dr. Glover. He explains how they can stop seeking approval and start getting what they want in life, by presenting the information and tools to help them ensure their needs are met, to express their emotions, to have a satisfying sex life, to embrace their masculinity and form meaningful relationships with other men, and to live up to their creative potential.

Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software

Anul aparitiei: 1994

apturing a wealth of experience about the design of object-oriented software, four top-notch designers present a catalog of simple and succinct solutions to commonly occurring design problems. Previously undocumented, these 23 patterns allow designers to create more flexible, elegant, and ultimately reusable designs without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves. The authors begin by describing what patterns are and how they can help you design object-oriented software. They then go on to systematically name, explain, evaluate, and catalog recurring designs in object-oriented systems. With Design Patterns as your guide, you will learn how these important patterns fit into the software development process, and how you can leverage them to solve your own design problems most efficiently. Each pattern describes the circumstances in which it is applicable, when it can be applied in view of other design constraints, and the consequences and trade-offs of using the pattern within a larger design. All patterns are compiled from real systems and are based on real-world examples. Each pattern also includes code that demonstrates how it may be implemented in ...

Even bad code can function. But if code isn't clean, it can bring a development organization to its knees. Every year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn't have to be that way. Noted software expert Robert C. Martin presents a revolutionary paradigm with Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship . Martin has teamed up with his colleagues from Object Mentor to distill their best agile practice of cleaning code "on the fly" into a book that will instill within you the values of a software craftsman and make you a better programmer--but only if you work at it. What kind of work will you be doing? You'll be reading code--lots of code. And you will be challenged to think about what's right about that code, and what's wrong with it. More importantly, you will be challenged to reassess your professional values and your commitment to your craft. Clean Code is divided into three parts. The first describes the principles, patterns, and practices of writing clean code. The second part consists of several case studies of increasing complexity. Each case study is an exercise in cleaning up code--of transforming a code ...

Misteriile lui Mithra -2009

Editura: Herald

Misteriosul personaj mitologic care purta numele de Mithra a fost adorat inca din vremea preistorica in care stramosii persilor erau uniti cu cei ai hindusilor. Acesta era vazut ca un zeu al luminii, al adevarului si al dreptatii, cultul sau traversand secolele si ajungand ca in antichitatea romana sa devina una dintre cele mai raspandite religii. Din Insulele Britanice pana la Adamclisi in Dobrogea, din nordul Africii pana dincolo de hotarele Imperiului Persan, de la Roma la Alexandria, cultul lui Mithra si-a castigat numerosi adepti devotati, indiferent de religiile locale pe care acestia le avusesera initial. Ce anume a facut dintr-un zeu de origine persana o divinitate atat de pretuita si de adorata intr-un spatiu geografic si cultural atat de intins? Ritualurile complicate, incantatiile cu intelesuri necunoscute, misterul de care erau inconjurati preotii ce oficiau liturghiile mithraice, exotismul unei credinte rasaritene de import in vechea lume greco-romana, toate aceste elemente si probabil multe altele necunoscute au avut puterea de a fascina, ducand la cresterea importantei acestei religii a misteriilor.
