„Kultuur, kõne ja Minu Ise“ on raamat Minu Isest, sellest, kes me vaimsete olevustena oleme. See on täiesti kasutu raamat – siit ei leia ühtegi nõuannet. Siin pole üldse juttu pereprobleemide lahendamisest, vaimsest täiustumisest, ajupotentsiaali kasutamisest, mõjustamise võtetest, eneseleidmisest ega kõigest muust taolisest. Selle asemel leiate siit ühe võimaliku viisi mõistmaks, mis on psüühika, mis on elu, mis on keskkond ning mis on meel, keel, märk, kõne ja kultuur. Saate samuti teada, mis on emotsioon, teadvus, alateadvus ning vaba tahe. Määratlused üksi ei tee palju targemaks; asja olemuse mõistmiseks käsitletakse ka seda, miks iga oluline nähtus on määratletud just nii ja kuidas Minu Ise erinevate tahkude mõistmisest kujuneb arusaamine psüühikast tervikuna. Saab selgemaks, mis on meie olemises bioloogiliselt määratud ja näeme, et bioloogiliselt saame kaasa vaid võimaluse psüühika tekkimiseks ja arenguks. Psüühika kujuneb vastasmõjus keskkonnaga. Enamgi veel, raamatust saab teada, miks meil on põhjust arvata, et on olemas eriliselt inimlikud psüühilised omadused. Inimlik psüühika tekib ainult kultuurikeskkonnas, mille määravaks tunnuseks on kõne kasutamine. Seepärast on ka raamatul just selline pealkiri. Minu Ise kujuneb inimlikuks vaid kultuurikeskkonnas kõnelise suhtlemise käigus. Võib juhtuda, et pärast selle raamatu läbi lugemist mõistab lugeja nii ennast kui ka teisi inimesi paremini. Sokrates leidis, et on naeruväärne uurida muid asju enne, kui pole aru saadud iseendast. See raamat on kutse enese paremale mõistmisele. Autorid: Aaro Toomela

This book is going to be so important to so many people.' - Alice Oseman, author of HeartstopperIt's just three words: I am nonbinary. But that's all it takes to change everything.When Ben De Backer comes out as nonbinary, it doesn't go down as planned: they are thrown out of their house and forced to move in with their estranged older sister. All Ben can do is try to keep a low profile in a new school. But Ben's attempts to go unnoticed are thwarted when Nathan Allan, a funny and charismatic student, decides to take Ben under his wing.As Ben and Nathan's friendship grows, their feelings begin to change, and what started as a disastrous turn of events looks like it might just be a chance to start a happier, new life. At turns heartbreaking and joyous, I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver is both a celebration of life, friendship, and love, and a shining example of hope in the face of adversity. 'Heartfelt, romantic, and quietly groundbreaking.This book will save lives.' - Becky Albertalli, author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

A MUST HAVE FOR AFICIONADOS OF HIGH EROTICISM! NOW IN 3RD EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED. How do you define beauty? At Metart, we've been pondering that question for the past twentyseven years. A beautiful girl is pleasing to the eye, of course; but to indeed allure and arouse, she must be pleasing to the spirit also. She has that certain je ne sais quoi which comes from being comfortable in her skin; even - especially - when that skin is naked. As a world leader in artistic nude photography and film, we've made it our mission to present the most enchanting girls to grace our planet, many of them undressing in front of the camera for the very first time. And as this collection of our World's Top 118 Models reveals, that means representing natural beauty in all its spellbinding diversity. At the time of writing, we're proud to have featured over 4,300 gorgeous models on our ground-breaking website Metart.com, in 27,000 photosets and over 4,000,000 images - united by the universal language of beauty but strikingly varied in their appeal. From the girl-next-door of your dreams to the unattainable goddess of your most intimate fantasies, you're sure to discover that unique woman who embodies your ideal of perfection. Like rare and precious gemstones, no two women are the same, and our reaction to a naked photo of a gorgeous girl is immediate and natural. Who is she? What do her eyes convey? Posing nude is perhaps the ultimate form of self-expression; with no costume to conceal her, the model is liberated to share her naked truth, and these joyful, free-spirited women celebrate their sensuality and display their feminine power candidly.

When the three sailor lads, Ralph, Jack and Peterkin are cast ashore after the storm, their first task is to find out whether the island is inhabited. Their next task is to find a way of staying alive. They go hunting and learn to fish, explore underwater caves and build boats - but then their island paradise is rudely disturbed by the arrival of pirates.

An easy origami book and paper kit, with 20 models and a free DVD.

The support provided by the Allied air armies to the preparations for the invasion of France and the Normandy campaign is overshadowed by the dramatic and protracted fighting on the ground. Yet the air campaign played a key role in blinding and isolating German forces in northern France in the months preceding the D-Day landings. The support provided by the Allied air armies to the preparations for the invasion of France and the Normandy campaign is overshadowed by the dramatic and protracted fighting on the ground. Yet the air campaign played a key role in blinding and isolating German forces in northern France in the months preceding the D-Day landings. These Allied air forces then supported the Allied armies as they pushed inland, most notably by hampering the march of Hitler’s panzer divisions and controversially bombing the ancient Norman cities of Caen and Rouen.Anthony Tucker-Jones’s photographic history is a vivid introduction to this enormous Allied air offensive and illustrates the many famous types of aircraft employed by the RAF, USAAF and Luftwaffe. Shots of the Allied bombers – Halifax, Lancaster, Fortress, Liberator, Havoc and Marauder – and the fighters and fighter-bombers – Lightning, Thunderbolt, Mustang, Spitfire and Typhoon – dominate the selection. Shots of the German warplanes are rarer because the Luftwaffe was overwhelmed by Allied air superiority.These images of the air war over northern France bring home in a graphic way the nature and conditions of combat flying over seventy years ago, and they emphasize the contribution of air power to the campaign.

Eric Evans has written a fantastic book on how you can make the design of your software match your mental model of the problem domain you are addressing. His book is very compatible with XP. It is not about drawing pictures of a domain; it is about how you think of it, the language you use to talk about it, and how you organize your software to reflect your improving understanding of it. Eric thinks that learning about your problem domain is as likely to happen at the end of your project as at the beginning, and so refactoring is a big part of his technique."The book is a fun read. Eric has lots of interesting stories, and he has a way with words. I see this book as essential reading for software developers-it is a future classic." -Ralph Johnson, author of Design PatternsIf you don't think you are getting value from your investment in object-oriented programming, this book will tell you what you've forgotten to do."Eric Evans convincingly argues for the importance of domain modeling as the central focus of development and provides a solid framework and set of techniques for accomplishing it. This is timeless wisdom, and will hold up long after the methodologies du jour have gone out of fashion." -Dave Collins, author of Designing Object-Oriented User Interfaces"Eric weaves real-world experience modeling-and building-business applications into a practical, useful book. Written from the perspective of a trusted practitioner, Eric's descriptions of ubiquitous language, the benefits of sharing models with users, object life-cycle management, logical and physical application structuring, and the process and results of deep refactoring are major contributions to our field." -Luke Hohmann, author of Beyond Software Architecture"This book belongs on the shelf of every thoughtful software developer." -Kent Beck "What Eric has managed to capture is a part of the design process that experienced object designers have always used, but that we have been singularly unsuccessful as a group in conveying to the rest of the industry. We've given away bits and pieces of this knowledge...but we've never organized and systematized the principles of building domain logic. This book is important." -Kyle Brown, author of Enterprise Java(TM) Programming with IBM(R) WebSphere(R)The software development community widely acknowledges that domain modeling is central to software design. Through domain models, software developers are able to express rich functionality and translate it into a software implementation that truly serves the needs of its users. But despite its obvious importance, there are few practical resources that explain how to incorporate effective domain modeling into the software development process. Domain-Driven Design fills that need. This is not a book about specific technologies. It offers readers a systematic approach to domain-driven design, presenting an extensive set of design best practices, experience-based techniques, and fundamental principles that facilitate the development of software projects facing complex domains. Intertwining design and development practice, this book incorporates numerous examples based on actual projects to illustrate the application of domain-driven design to real-world software development. Readers learn how to use a domain model to make a complex development effort more focused and dynamic. A core of best practices and standard patterns provides a common language for the development team. A shift in emphasis-refactoring not just the code but the model underlying the code-in combination with the frequent iterations of Agile development leads to deeper insight into domains and enhanced communication between domain expert and programmer. Domain-Driven Design then builds on this foundation, and addresses modeling and design for complex systems and larger organizations.Specific topics covered include: * Getting all team members to speak the same language* Connecting model and implementation more deeply* Sharpening key distinctions in a model* Managing the lifecycle of a domain object* Writing domain code that is safe to combine in elaborate ways* Making complex code obvious and predictable* Formulating a domain vision statement* Distilling the core of a complex domain* Digging out implicit concepts needed in the model* Applying analysis patterns* Relating design patterns to the model* Maintaining model integrity in a large system* Dealing with coexisting models on the same project* Organizing systems with large-scale structures* Recognizing and responding to modeling breakthroughsWith this book in hand, object-oriented developers, system analysts, and designers will have the guidance they need to organize and focus their work, create rich and useful domain models, and leverage those models into quality, long-lasting software implementations.

An NYRB Classics Original When the pioneering Taiwanese novelist Qiu Miaojin committed suicide in 1995 at age twenty-six, she left behind her unpublished masterpiece, Last Words from Montmartre. Unfolding through a series of letters written by an unnamed narrator, Last Words tells the story of a passionate relationship between two young women-their sexual awakening, their gradual breakup, and the devastating aftermath of their broken love. In a style that veers between extremes, from self-deprecation to pathos, compulsive repetition to rhapsodic musings, reticence to vulnerability, Qiu's genre-bending novel is at once a psychological thriller, a sublime romance, and the author's own suicide note. The letters (which, Qiu tells us, can be read in any order) leap between Paris, Taipei, and Tokyo. They display wrenching insights into what it means to live between cultures, languages, and genders-until the genderless character Zoe appears, and the narrator's spiritual and physical identity is transformed.As powerfully raw and transcendent as Mishima's Confessions of a Mask, Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther, and Theresa Cha's Dictee, to name but a few, Last Words from Montmartre proves Qiu Miaojin to be one of the finest experimentalists and modernist Chinese-language writers of our generation.

One of the most influential books in human history, in a revelatory new translation China's first and greatest teacher, Confucius traveled from state to state as an itinerant philosopher. Eventually he came to represent the standard of behavior for all of society--including the emperor himself. "The Analects "preserves his major teachings, as compiled by his disciples after his death--everything from how people should relate to each other (the Golden Rule, which he was the first to define), to how a country should be organized (like a family), to how to lie in bed (not like a corpse). This new translation, by one of the pre-eminent scholars of Confucius, draws on the most recent excavated texts and latest scholarship. A historian, Annping Chin sets out to illuminate the historical context of Confucius's teachings, explaining who the many local figures referenced in "The Analects" are, and navigating a rich tradition of historical commentaries to provide a map of Confucian thought that brings us as close as possible to experiencing Confucius as his followers might have 2,500 years ago.

George Eliot's tale of a solitary miser gradually redeemed by the joy of fatherhood, "Silas Marner" is edited with an introduction and notes by David Carroll in "Penguin Classics". Wrongly accused of theft and exiled from a religious community many years before, the embittered weaver Silas Marner lives alone in Raveloe, living only for work and his precious hoard of money. But when his money is stolen and an orphaned child finds her way into his house, Silas is given the chance to transform his life. His fate, and that of Eppie, the little girl he adopts, is entwined with Godfrey Cass, son of the village Squire, who, like Silas, is trapped by his past. "Silas Marner", George Eliot's favourite of her novels, combines humour, rich symbolism and pointed social criticism to create an unsentimental but affectionate portrait of rural life. This text uses the Cabinet edition, revised by George Eliot in 1878. David Carroll's introduction is complemented by the original "Penguin Classics" edition introduction by Q.D. Leavis. Mary Ann Evans (1819-80) began her literary career as a translator, and later editor, of the Westminster Review.In 1857, she published "Scenes of Clerical Life", the first of eight novels she would publish under the name of 'George Eliot', including "The Mill on the Floss", "Middlemarch", and "Daniel Deronda". If you enjoyed "Silas Marner", you might like Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter", also available in "Penguin Classics". "I think "Silas Marner" holds a higher place than any of the author's works. It is more nearly a masterpiece; it has more of that simple, rounded, consummate aspect...which marks a classical work". (Henry James).
