Ice Age 5 Collision Course (Buz Devri 5 Büyük Çarpışma) (3D + 2D Blu-Ray Disc) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından:

One of my guilty pleasures - I grew up with these books, and we would often listen to the dramatisations during long car trips, which was just about everywhere. Bowdrie was one of our particular favourite characters and we would often scour the audiobook section of whatever bookstore we could find on the off chance there might be one we hadn't heard yet. They're not horribly sophisticated stories, but good voices and familiar settings. Just the thing for a whole new kind of commute. A little bit of home in foreign surroundings.

Bir Yudum Sevgi TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Gitane Kitap

Treasure Island is a tale of rip roaring piracy and childhood heroism. Oh to be a boy as brilliant as Jim Hawkins as he saves the day over and over again!Robert Louis Stevenson takes his reader away to the pirate ridden seas and we follow the adventures of Jim Hawkins, Squire Trelawny and of course the infamous Long John Silver. This is a must read classic that would suit most readers looking for escapism. Its exciting yet innocent, violent yet without anything too dreadful for young imaginations. Seen through the eyes of young Jim for the most part it is told with childlike naivety, but at the same time it is an enjoyable read for an adult too. I would definitely recommend Treasure Island as one of those books all of us should read, and I am sure you will enjoy it.

İnsanların Oynadığı Oyunlar - Eric Berne TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Koridor Yayıncılık

For the seditiously unpopular (among the living, anyway...the dead actually think quite highly of him) Milrose Munce, life couldn't be better. After triumph against an evil guidance counselor (and all around bad chap), he and his girlfriend Arabella are basking in the golden era of goodliness at school, firmly ensconced in their own superiority of all things wickedly weird. But life being what it is, something new and grotesquely horrific is quite literally growing in those not-so-hallowed halls...and in the vents, and across desks and blackboards and even...if they sit still long enough...the students. This verdant oddity definitely attracts Milrose's attention; he even musters up some mild concern, but his darling Arabella seems peculiarly (which for the girl should make her almost normal in comparison, yet truly doesn't) unfazed by the creeping cornucopia. Then two of the people most dear to Milrose disappear, and more than his concern is mustered. First, the new and beautiful principal, Caroline Corduroy is suddenly gone from her office, an office that is now completely overrun with flagrant flora, then his soul mate, the reason for every ounce of the happiness in his heart, his Arabella, disappears without a trace...or topiary. Disturbingly heartbreaking, her loss truly incites Milrose's panic and occasional despair, but also births his determination to deflower this current pernicious threat as it spreads through the school. Milrose, along with his creepy coterie of grotesquely gruesome ghosts (great guys and girls, all...well...except maybe for Percival), must discover the cause of the spreading fungal malignancy and alter its aliveness before Arabella and the almost as wonderful Principal Corduroy are lost forever. Oh, yeah, and saving the school...again...would be nice, too. But mostly Arabella. Welcome (or welcome back) to the world of Milrose Munce, my favorite overachieving underachiever, and the brilliant - if twisted - mind of author Douglas Anthony Cooper. I love this world. I wouldn't want to live in this world, but I do so enjoy visiting. Cooper has created a masterpiece of the hilariously macabre (again), and once again wowed me with his deliciously sarcastic and frighteningly lovable characters doing significantly sardonic and slightly terrifying things. As far as heroes go, you can't get much better than the reluctant Milrose, who would much prefer being not at all heroic, but can't seem to help himself. Academically brilliant, he's less than the most intellectually superior in greenery hostage situations, and while I'm sure that says something horrific about the quality of education in public schools in a socially conscious way, I doubt social consciousness has ever been considered as rip-roaring a good time as Milrose's passionate pursuits. Pursued passionately. I love this book. I've loved both of them, actually, but this one offered up a more layered and cohesive plot than its predecessor (not that Milrose Munce and the Den of Professional Help wasn't layered or sticky or anything, this one was just more so), and Milrose got a chance to sneak beyond the halls of matriculation in several scenes I thoroughly enjoyed. Arabella's disappearance obviously lessened her appearance in this one, but I loved what Cooper did with some of the ghosts, making their roles more visible in the arc of the conflict than in the previous book. Frankly, though, I've got to stop reading about Milrose when I'm in public, because the sound effects draw the most peculiar stares. Gaggled giggles, snickering snorts, chuckled chortles and the like come so fast and often that anyone within hearing range thinks I forgot to take my medication this morning. This is a funny, funny book. Galactically funny; universally funny. Not to mention sharply, intelligently funny (which is my favorite kind). It's that humor, along with the unique and original characters and story, which has turned me into such a rabid fan of these books (ignore the slavering, please...it's impolite to stare). Douglas Anthony Cooper has, in the Milrose Munce exploits, created a reading experience that is simply but sublimely satisfying for me. It happens sometimes (if you're...you know...lottery-lucky). Sometimes you stumble across a book that hits on so many of your happy spots, or appeals on so many levels, or is so stylistically in sync with your reading preferences, that the book resonates with a bizarre sense of intrinsic rightness in your pleasure centers, whistling a jaunty tune as it makes you feel good. For me, that's Milrose Munce (or possibly gastric distress...but my money's on Milrose). Yes, it's a book that points in the YA direction - though I'm not convinced that's the right market. It's perfectly fine for them to read, as far as the material goes, but I actually think I appreciate this more as an adult than I would have when I was young (those many, many, many years ago). Hey, I would have loved it back then, don't get me wrong...I just don't know that I would have appreciated it (or...ahem... possibly understood it) as much as I do now. Not to be repetitive or anything, but I repeat, I loved this book. Milrose Munce is like...the legitimate but disturbed love child of Encyclopedia Brown and Nancy Drew...if those mystery-solving kids married, got rich on a pyramid scheme, relocated to the Twilight Zone, bought the House on Haunted Hill, munched down on a few of those funny-type mushrooms, and birthed progeny. Then named said progeny Milrose. Milrose Munce and the Plague of Toxic Fungus is a funny, fast read with characters that are as entertaining as they are gruesome, has a plot that works a little better than it's predecessor but is still weird and occasionally incomprehensible (in the best ways), and is set in a world that's highly unusual. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves their inner sarcastic and wisecracking social outcast (who would probably be beloved by gruesome ghosts). Some Favorite Quotes: "Corporal punishment was abominable, yes, but the casual threat of illegal brutality was one of the few things that made life worth living." ~ The Thoughts of Milrose Munce "You're a sick man, Milrose Munce." "Yeah, well, you're dead. Which is like sick to the power of ten." ~ Hurled Harry and Milrose Munce "Unhand me, you piteous filth-bedecked excuse for a mild infestation..." ~ Milrose Munce "I'm just a kid trying to lead an intelligent, entertaining, useless life." ~ Milrose Munce "With great frivolity comes great responsibility." ~ Cryogenic Kelvin "I've never felt that way about laws. Let's just ignore them." "Sure buddy. Start with gravity. Let's see you ignore the law of gravity. As a kind of test case." ~ Milrose Munce and Cryogenic Kelvin A caution for Kindle readers: there are several sections of the book that have formatting issues and a typo or two can be found as you read along. Nothing so egregious that it pulled me out of the story, as it was mostly issues with random paragraph indentations, but that may bother some readers more than it did me. ~*~*~*~ Reviewed for One Good Book Deserves Another.

Kanaat Yeni Büyük Atlas - Faik Sabri Duran TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kanaat Yayınları

I enjoyed reading this, and think it would be really actually amazing if I could just cut out animal products and avoid everything from cancer to heart disease, osteoperosis to Alzheimer's. However, I'm not convinced by his science. He never seems to prove that you need to be 100% vegan, but says that if you allow yourself a little it is too easy to eat too much of it. Which just seems like a really weak argument. Also, he spends a good part of the book saying how we shouldn't do reductionist science - where we look at just one nutrient without the context of the whole food in which we find it. This makes a fair amount of sense to me, because the whole package could quite change the benefit or harm of that one ingredient, though of course, drug companies would like to be able to isolate individual components. However, another big section of his book talks about his own research using only casein - one of the proteins found in milk - without actually looking at milk as a whole. So while casein apparently can turn on and off cancer growth...what about milk as a whole? I think overall eating more whole plant-based foods is definitely healthier for us. I am just looking for a bit more proof that cutting out all animal products is necessary or even capable of doing everything that he says it's capable of doing. So for now, I am off doing more research. It was definitely an interesting book and it has certainly got me thinking!

very well written. so effectively depressing - i debated if i should take away a star because it made me feel so low. but it's so successful in creating that lonely, almost nasty suburbia.

Reading Beowulf in the orignal is just as much fun as you would think; unfortunately, Beade's Translation of Boethius is, likewise, just as much fun as you would think. Still, OE is such a cool language - besides singular and plural, they have a dual mode for verbs which you use when refering to "you and I".

Sovyetler Birliği Komünist Partisi (Bolşevik) Tarihi TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kaynak Yayınları

Surprisingly smart and innovative take on how to overcome the troubles and annoyances common to all committed partnerships. If the case studies and example anecdotes had been less reifying of dated gender roles and included more than one same-sex couple, I would've rated it 5 stars. As is, it's still an excellent toolkit for creating more peace at home with practical tips to help you get out of your bad habits (and your spouse's, too).
