A tongue-in-cheek field guide to the deadliest animals on Earth from TikTok star @mndiaye_97 Let's be clear: Mamadou Ndiaye knows a whole lot of animals that can and will end you, but he has no plans to let these strange and horrifying creatures cash in his life insurance policy. Now the TikTok star is turning his engaging, entertaining, and informative takes on animal biology and behaviour into this hilarious guide to the world's most deadly creatures. These include:· sperm whales with a call so strong it can vibrate you to death· meerkats or "the most homicidal mammals on Earth"· hyenas, which eat their prey while it is still alive · hippos, which "have no soul and answer to no god"· and a golf-ball-sized octopus that can erase twenty-six people with one bite You'll learn not only which animals to avoid, but which ones can beat you in a footrace, which ones create surprisingly high body counts, and which ones will give you a good reason never to venture into the ocean. Mamadou also offers the occasional survival tip, even if it is just to make peace with your higher power. From the moose (aka "the antlered Grim Reaper") to the Cassowary ("Jurassic bullshit with feathers"), this is nature like you never want to meet it in real life.

Privathäuser zu entwerfen stellt jeden Architekten vor ganz besondere Herausforderungen. Der Rahmen ist meist bescheidener als bei öffentlichen Projekten, die technischen Anforderungen sind weniger komplex als bei Industrie-Bauten, doch dafür werden die individuellen Wünsche und Visionen des Auftraggebers zur absoluten Priorität. Die durchaus delikate Aufgabe besteht darin, die emotionalen und praktischen Aspekte eines Zuhauses funktionierende Realität werden zu lassen.Dieser Band präsentiert 100 der weltweit interessantesten und ungewöhnlichsten Privathäuser der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte und stellt viele teils neue, teils bereits etablierte Architekten vor, darunter John Pawson, Richard Meier, Shigeru Ban, Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Daniel Libeskind, Alvaro Siza und Peter Zumthor. Über die üblichen Bereiche zum Essen, Schlafen und Wohnen hinaus bieten die Gebäude auch Raum für persönliche Erlebnisse und Beziehungen - eine Architektur, wie sie elementarer und intimer nicht sein könnte.

Vor gar nicht allzu langer Zeit bestand die Zukunft noch aus Beton, Glas, Stahl und Verbundstoffen; Holz spielte in der modernen Architektur nur eine Außenseiterrolle. Das hat sich geändert: Dank neuer Herstellungstechniken und seiner ökologischen Vorteile erlebt Holz eine furiose Wiedergeburt als zeitgemäßes Baumaterial. Dieser Band erkundet, wie Architekten überall auf der Welt mit diesem elementaren Material arbeiten. Er stellt eine breite Palette an Gebäudetypen und ehrgeizige urbane Bauprojekte vor und zeigt, wie zum Beispiel Jürgen Mayer H. mit seinem Metropol Parasol in Sevilla ganze Stadtteile verändert hat oder wie die finnische Forstliche Versuchsanstalt von SARC Architects und die Termas Geométricas von Germán del Sol sensible Eingriffe in die Natur vornehmen. Ganz in der Tradition der TASCHEN-Architekturreihe präsentiert dieses Buch junge internationale Talente neben etablierten Altmeistern der Zunft wie Tadao Ando oder Renzo Piano. Es gewährt einen Einblick in die Techniken, Trends und Prinzipien, die ihre Arbeit mit Holz prägen. Dabei geht es ebenso um den computergestützten Holzzuschnitt, der vollkommen neue Formen ermöglicht, wie um verantwortungsvolle, umweltgerechte Forstwirtschaft - und auch um den anhaltenden Charme von Holz, der unsere Sinne und unseren Geist anspricht und uns in der Hektik des modernen Lebens mit idyllischer Schönheit und Einfachheit Ruhe schenkt.

When 16-year-old poetry blogger Tessa Dickinson is involved in a car accident and loses her eyesight for 100 days, she feels like her whole world has been turned upside-down. Terrified that her vision might never return, Tessa feels like she has nothing left to be happy about. But when her grandparents place an ad in the local newspaper looking for a typist to help Tessa continue writing and blogging, an unlikely answer knocks at their door: Weston Ludovico, a boy her age with bright eyes, an optimistic smile…and no legs. Knowing how angry and afraid Tessa is feeling, Weston thinks he can help her. But he has one condition - no one can tell Tessa about his disability. And because she can't see him, she treats him with contempt: screaming at him to get out of her house and never come back. But for Weston, it's the most amazing feeling: to be treated like a normal person, not just a sob story. So he comes back. Again and again and again. Tessa spurns Weston's "obnoxious optimism", convinced that he has no idea what she's going through. But Weston knows exactly how she feels and reaches into her darkness to show her that there is more than one way to experience the world. As Tessa grows closer to Weston, she finds it harder and harder to imagine life without him - and Weston can't imagine life without her. But he still hasn't told her the truth, and when Tessa's sight returns he'll have to make the hardest decision of his life: vanish from Tessa's world…or overcome his fear of being seen. 100 Days of Sunlight is a poignant and heartfelt novel by author Abbie Emmons. If you like sweet contemporary romance and strong family themes then you'll love this touching story of hope, healing, and getting back up when life knocks you down.

New (4th) Edition of an All-time Classic. The good news about chess endgames is that there are relatively few endings you should really know by heart. What's more: once you know these endings, that's it! Your knowledge never goes out of date. The bad news is that, all the same, the endgame technique of most players is deficient. Modern time-controls make matters worse: there is simply not enough time to delve deep into the position. Jesus de la Villa debunks the myth that endgame theory is complex and teaches you to steer the game into a position you are familiar with. This book contains only those endgames that: show up most frequently, are easy to learn, contain ideas that are useful in more difficult positions. Your performance will improve dramatically because you will get: simple rules, detailed and lively explanations, many diagrams, clear summaries of the most important themes and dozens of tests.

This is a new and improved edition of an all-time classic! The good news about endgames is that there are relatively few endings you should know by heart and that once you know these endings, that's it. Your knowledge never goes out of date!
