A teenage girl's difficult journey towards adulthood in a time of war."A school story for grownups that is also about our inability or refusal to protect children from history" SARAH MOSS"Of all Szabo's novels, Abigail deserves the widest readership. It's an adventure story, brilliantly written" TIBOR FISCHEROf all her novels, Magda Szabo's Abigail is indeed the most widely read in her native Hungary. Now, fifty years after it was written, it appears for the first time in English, joining Katalin Street and The Door in a loose trilogy about the impact of war on those who have to live with the consequences. It is late 1943 and Hitler, exasperated by the slowness of his Hungarian ally to act on the "Jewish question" and alarmed by the weakness on his southern flank, is preparing to occupy the country. Foreseeing this, and concerned for his daughter's safety, a Budapest father decides to send her to a boarding school away from the capital. A lively, sophisticated, somewhat spoiled teenager, she is not impressed by the reasons she is given, and when the school turns out to be a fiercely Puritanical one in a provincial city a long way from home, she rebels outright. Her superior attitude offends her new classmates and things quickly turn sour.It is the start of a long and bitter learning curve that will open her eyes to her arrogant blindness to other people's true motives and feelings. Exposed for the first time to the realities of life for those less privileged than herself, and increasingly confronted by evidence of the more sinister purposes of the war, she learns lessons about the nature of loyalty, courage, sacrifice and love.Translated from the Hungarian by Len Rix

From the author of The Door, a beloved coming-of-age tale set in WWII-era Hungary. Abigail, the story of a headstrong teenager growing up during World War II, is the most beloved of Magda Szab 's books in her native

A finales de 1943 las tropas alemanas se preparan para invadir Hungría. Preocupado por la seguridad de su hija, un general del Ejército húngaro decide enviarla a un internado lejos de la capital. Gina, una adolescente vivaz, sofisticada y algo malcriada, no se deja impresionar por las razones que le dan y, cuando la escuela resulta ser ferozmente puritana en una ciudad de provincias, se rebela. Su actitud de superioridad ofende a sus nuevas compañeras de clase y las cosas se complican. Es el comienzo de un largo y amargo aprendizaje que le abrirá los ojos ante los verdaderos motivos y sentimientos de los demás. Expuesta por primera vez a las realidades de la vida de aquellos menos privilegiados que ella, y cada vez más enfrentada a lo siniestro de la guerra, aprende lecciones sobre la naturaleza de la lealtad, el coraje, el sacrificio y el amor.

This textbook serves to teach readers about the origins of life, the probabilistic process of self-assembly underpinning all living systems, from a biophysics perspective. The author cohesively summarizes the various organizing principles that led to the development of an ordered physical basis on which the evolution of life operates. This book answers critical questions, such as why life depends on the properties of inanimate objects and how the laws of physics, chemistry, and biology convolved to spontaneously produce the periodic table and, of course, life itself. Readers are provided with an introduction to probability distributions as well as detailed descriptions of important concepts in thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and quantum mechanics. As the book progresses, an understanding for the inevitability of life is developed through topics such as stellar nucleosynthesis and prebiotic evolution. Each chapter also includes problems for readers to gain a better understanding of the material. This textbook is accessible to students and researchers of all levels and serves as a comprehensive guide on the physics behind abiogenesis.

A collection of essential quotations from the renowned fashion designer, DJ, and stylistAbloh-isms is a collection of essential quotations from American fashion designer, DJ, and stylist Virgil Abloh, who was a major creative figure in the worlds of pop culture and art. Abloh began his career as Kanye West’s creative director before founding the luxury streetwear label Off-White and becoming artistic director for Louis Vuitton, making Abloh the first American of African descent to hold that title at a French fashion house. Defying categorization, Abloh’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at museums and galleries, most notably in a major retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Gathered from interviews and other sources, this selection of compelling and memorable quotations from the designer reveals his thoughts on a wide range of subjects, including creativity, passion, innovation, race, and what it means to be an artist of his generation. Lively and thought-provoking, these quotes reflect Abloh’s unique perspective as a trailblazer in his fields.Select quotations from the book:"I believe that coincidence is key, but coincidence is energies coming towards each other. You have to be moving to meet it.”"Life is collaboration. Where I think art can be sort of misguided is that it propagates this idea of itself as a solo love affair―one person, one idea, no one else involved.”"Black influence has created a new ecosystem, which can grow and support different types of life that we couldn’t before."

Das Praxishandbuch zur Stoffwechsel-RevolutionBis vor Kurzem wurden Kohlenhydrate verteufelt und bestenfalls in geringen Mengen empfohlen. Daniela Kielkowski hat mit ihren Studien und Tausenden Messungen an Patienten beobachtet, dass diese Ernährungs­regeln überdacht werden müssen. Die Wissenschaft weiß heute: Das Gehirn benötigt täglich ausreichend Kohlenhydrate und verbiegt ansonsten den Stoffwechsel, wenn diese ausbleiben _ mit möglicherweise fatalen Folgen für den Einzelnen: Übergewicht, Erkrankungen, Jo-Jo-Effekt und verlangsamte Reparaturprozesse können die Spätfolgen sein. Systematisch hilft das Buch dabei herauszufinden, wie sich der eigene Stoffwechsel bereits durch Diäten, Fasten oder falsch angepasste Gewohnheiten verändert hat und wie diese Veränderungen korrigiert werden können. Dazu gibt es Tipps für einen entspannten Alltag in Balance und Erläuterungen, wie der Stoffwechsel mit Kohlenhydraten beim Gewichthalten und Abnehmen reguliert werden kann.Die 70 köstlichen, alltagstauglichen Rezepte im zweiten Teil des Buches ermöglichen es, wieder mehr zu essen und dabei entspannt das Gewicht zu halten oder Gewicht zu verlieren, ohne sich selbst kasteien zu müssen.

From 1971 until his death in 1984, Foucault gave public lectures at the world-famous College de France. Attended by thousands, these were seminal events in the world of French letters. Picador is proud to be publishing the lectures in thirteen volumes.The lectures comprising "Abnormal" begin by examining the role of psychiatry in modern criminal justice, and its method of categorizing individuals who "resemble their crime before they commit it." Building on the themes of societal self-defense in "Society Must Be Defended," Foucault shows how and why defining "abnormality" and "normality" were preorogatives of power in the nineteenth century. The College de France lectures add immeasurably to our appreciation of Foucault's work and offer a unique window into his thinking.

In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, "If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book." This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.

The basic book about the controversial philosophy known as behaviorism, written by its leading exponent. Bibliography, index.

At a dinner party given by his parents-in-law, Commissario Brunetti meets Franca Marinello, the wife of a prosperous Venetian businessman. He's charmed - perhaps too charmed, suggests his wife Paola - by her love of Virgil and Cicero, but shocked by her appearance. A few days later, Brunetti is visited by Carabinieri Maggior Filippo Guarino from the nearby city of Marghera. As part of a wider investigation into Mafia takeovers of businesses in the region, Guarino wants information about the owner of a trucking company who was found murdered in his office. He believes the man's death is connected to the illegal transportation of refuse - and more sinister material - in his company's trucks. No stranger to mutual suspicion and competition between rival Italian police departments, Brunetti is nevertheless puzzled by the younger man's behaviour. Eventually Guarino agrees to email a photo of his suspect, but by the time the photograph arrives, he himself is dead. Was he killed because he got too close? And how is it that Franca Marinello is involved?

This book provides an ideal introduction for anyone wondering whether to study law or those who are simply curious to know more about it. It is not confined to English law, but deals with the Western tradition of law as a whole. It outlines the key problems of constitutional law and the law of property, contracts, treaties, crimes and torts. It also explains the importance of law of forms, procedures, and interpretation and examines how law relates to government, history, and justice. In this way it vividly brings out the intellectual and practical fascination of the subject. The book is easy to read and the chapters are self-contained. Where possible, technical terms are avoided. When unavoidable, they are explained both in the text and in a glossary at the end of the book. The author is a leading lawyer, legal historian, and legal philosopher. During his career in Oxford he taught many hundreds of students and it is from this experience that the book is drawn.
