Sinemanın Gizemi (Lasse-Maja Dedektif Bürosu) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Pegasus Yayınları

My Japanese/French friend Yukie is visiting tomorrow from her new home town of Nantes. By association of ideas, that reminded me first of Jules Verne, Nantes's most famous son, and then of this bizarre sequel to From the Earth to the Moon. Everyone knows the story of the first book: the manic Gun Club build a giant cannon which projects a steam-punk spaceship into an orbit that takes it round the Moon and back home again. This one is rather more obscure, though when I was reading my way through Verne as a nine year old it was a favourite. The Gun Club have dazzled the world with their lunar exploit, but now they need something even bigger to keep people's attention. As you see in Apollo 13, this prediction was spot-on: the fickle public quickly got bored with space flight, and only woke up when it looked like a mission was about to go horribly wrong. Luckily for all of us, NASA didn't come up with anything as crazy as what happens here. Newton's Third Law, muse the amiable gun lunatics: equal and opposite reaction. You normally think of a gun as something used to throw a projectile. But the momentum imparted by the recoil is exactly as large. Suppose you had a really big gun. Maybe that recoil would be enough to change the axis of rotation of the Earth? And once they've got hold of the idea that this could be technically feasible, they immediately come up with a reason for doing it. You could flip the Earth's axis so that it was no longer at an inclination to the orbital plane. Then, hey, not only would you get rid of those pesky seasons, but you'd also move the North Pole to a place where you might be able to mine its mineral deposits! Must be a win. When can we get started? At age 9, I read the novel straight: the Gun Club are lovable rogues, possibly a little too impetuous for their own good, but basically on the side of the angels. The horrified citizens who try to stop them from carrying out this insane scheme are kind of boring. Okay, I suppose it's dangerous, but you never get anywhere without taking a few risks. Don't they see how damn cool is? I should re-read the book and find out whether it was actually a satire. It ought to be. But, given how much Verne loved technology in all its forms, I wouldn't bet on it.

Esen Üçrenk Yayınları 9. Sınıf Matematik Soru Bankası TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Together with Crucial Conversations (which is by the same authors), this is my favorite book about communication. This one talks about when and whether to confront someone about their behavior, how to master the stories you tell yourself about the situation,and how to communicate the gap you feel between your expectations and their behavior with respect. What's great about the book, though, is that it really shows you/tells you what these conversations sound like. It's focused on application of these communication skills, not theory and gives tools you can start trying on day one. For example, use contrast to avoid misunderstandings: I don't mean to imply... I don't want you to think... I know you...

I read the original (longer) edition and found it tedious after several hundred pages. I finally had to skip ahead to finish. I guess I was expecting so much more from a book so often cited as an instrumental work. Good ideas, but a bit chauvinistic in its attitude toward women. I rarely fail to finish one I start, but I did not have any desire to see this to the end.

Bilgelik Öyküleri-Murat Çiftkaya TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Genç Hayat Yayınları

Not bad - always wonderful to read about strong, smart and pottymouthed women solving murders. Yet equally, as a first novel, it's a stretch at times to identify with Rachel, Bailey and Toni. Also, I question the editing as some of the relationships that are introduced have no point whatsoever - apparently Rachel regularly brings Chinese food to a homeless man she clearly knows (somehow); and what was that deal with her sister? Oh well. Suppose it's just fodder for the second book in what's obvious to be a new series.

Zaman Bisikleti 2 Geçmişten Gelen Konuklar - Bilgin Adalı TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Can Çocuk Yayınları

Practical Magic, written well before The Probable Future, has much in common with its successor. The story is primarily about women who spring from a New England family of witches. In this case, the witches are known simply as "The Aunts" throughout most of the narrative as two sisters, Sally and Gillian, seek to free themselves (each in her own way) from what they see as the negative influence of these old women who adopted them. As a mother and a woman, I identified with both Sally and Gillian. Sally is the good girl who takes over the role of managing the household even though The Aunts obviously don't give a fig whether the house is cleaned regularly or nutritious meals are put on the table in a timely manner. Sally tries to lead an ordinary, family-driven life and marries young. Unfortunately, she's widowed young and left to raise two daughters (daughters in both PM and TPF). Gillian on the other hand seeks to define her future through her sexual exploits and inability to bond. She's learned the lesson from her childhood that nothing much matters and nothing lasts forever. She elopes at 18 and Sally doesn't see her for nearly twenty years when Gillian finally shows up with a terrifying secret: there's a dead man in the passenger seat of her car. The novel takes us through the redemption of Gillian, the restoration of Sally, and the acceptance of "The Aunts." Hoffman has a deft touch, and the magic is as believable and necessary as the air the characters breathe.
