Blue Machine. Cum modeleaza oceanul lumea

Blue Machine. Cum modeleaza oceanul lumea

Oceanele Pamantului, de la Ecuator pana la poli, se contopesc intr-un singur motor, alimentat de lumina solara si traversat de vaste fluxuri de energie, apa, viata si materii prime. Fiziciana si oceanografa Helen Czerski descrie dinamica acestei „masinarii albastre“ de-a lungul unei calatorii fascinante din adancurile abisale pana la recifele tropicale de corali, din estuarele apelor de coasta pana la ghetarii arctici amenintati de incalzirea globala. Spectaculoasele povesti din Blue Machine, precum cele despre pirogile hawaiienilor, ramasitele ingropate ale Titanicului sau despre rechinii matusalemici si calamarii cu doua fete, scot in evidenta complexitatea oceanului global, strabatut de curenti gigantici si presarat cu ziduri invizibile si cascade subacvatice. Odata ce intelegem aceste intreteseri ecologice, se naste intrebarea: Ce inseamna astazi sa fii cetatean al „planetei albastre“? Helen Czerski este conferentiar la Departamentul de Inginerie Mecanica al University College din Londra. A colaborat cu BBC si Wall Street Journal si este autoarea bestsellerului Furtuna din ceasca de ceai. Fizica vietii de zi cu zi (Trei, 2018). Dupa ce am obtinut doctoratul in fizica experimentala a explozivilor, am cautat un alt subiect de cercetare, in urma caruia sa am mai putina curatenie de facut. Fizica bulelor mi s-a parut domeniul potrivit. Dar in foarte scurt timp, am fost cuprinsa de indignare si de nedumerire. De ce nu aflasem pana atunci despre oceanografie? Cum era posibil sa fi terminat trei specializari in fizica, sa fi citit sute de carti si articole, sa fi asistat la numeroase prelegeri si sa nu fi auzit pe nimeni vorbind despre ocean? Era, cu siguranta, cea mai importanta poveste stiintifica pe care o auzisem in viata mea.“ - Helen Czerski „O poveste captivanta si elegant scrisa ce-ti schimba felul in care vezi lumea.“ - Daily Mail „Calatoria profunda si spumoasa oferita de Czerski imbina istoria si cultura, geografia si biologia, animalele si oamenii.“ - Nature       „Czerski isi doreste sa extinda si chiar sa revolutioneze intelegerea cititorului cu privire la ceea ce se petrece pe suprafata a 70% din planeta, care nu este acoperita de pamant.“ - Financial Times  „Noua si fascinanta carte a lui Czerski infatiseaza oceanul ca pe un motor gigantic, ceea ce ne ajuta sa intuim mai bine dinamica sa complexa si rolul sau in schimbarile climatice.“ - New Scientist  „Blue Machine este pur si simplu una dintre cele mai bune carti pe care le-am citit vreodata.“ - George McGavin, zoolog si realizator de documentare T

The Little Coffee Shop of Terrors

'Cozy and thrilling!' ?????????? NetGalley reviewer One new owner. One hot barista. And one seriously weird coffee shop… Adele is down on her luck. She’s just failed her last musical theatre, and it now looks like the bright lights of Broadway are behind her for good. So, when the opportunity comes up to take over a Brooklyn coffee shop, finally it feels like at last things are going her way. The only issue is the coffee shop comes with strings attached in the form of one very grumpy (but roasting hot) barista, Ben. He’s worked there for years and he’s not about to move on just because there’s a new owner in town. But soon it’s not only Ben who’s smouldering, because strange things are happening with the old coffee roasting machine in the basement, with roaring flames and weird noises that seem to come from nowhere. She’d ask Ben for help, but he never seems to be around when there’s a problem to fix. And to add to it all, now some of the regular customers are nowhere to be seen… Trouble is brewing for Adele and, before she knows it, she’s in a whole latte trouble… Readers are loving this coffee shop: ‘What a fun, if slightly terrifying, five-star read’ ?????????? NetGalley reviewer ‘Read this book for a rest and a laugh’ ?????????? NetGalley reviewer ‘Heartwarming, cozy and thrilling. I was captivated from start to finish and absolutely adored this enchanting, fun-filled adventure.’ ?????????? NetGalley reviewe

Recycle!' set in the same extraordinary world. *A New York Times, Sunday Times and Indie Bestseller**Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Science Fiction*In a small home, built into the branches of a tree, live a human named Victor and three robots.

Then Vic salvages an unfamiliar android labelled ‘HAP’. He learns that Hap and Gio share a dark past, where they hunted humans. And Hap unwittingly gives away Gio’s location. Before they know it, robots from Gio’s former life arrive – to capture and return the android to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. The rest of the unconventional family must travel across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommissioning. Or worse, reprogramming.

'Saturated with violence, desire, and power. It's a book with blood on its lips, and I loved it completely.’ ALIX E. HARROW‘This darkly gorgeous story is a lavish feast for fans of gothic horror. One of my top reads of the year!’ SUNYI DEAN'Alexis Henderson is one of the best Gothic writers out there.' HANNAH WHITTEN‘Dark academia stunner infused with Henderson's signature style – it's lush, atmospheric, imaginative and impossible to put down.’ RACHEL HARRISON'A modern-day Anne Rice, Henderson has a gift for creating a world engorged with desire and death.' THE NEW YORK TIMESLennon Carter’s life is falling apart. Until she gets a mysterious phone call inviting her to sit the entrance exam for somewhere very few have heard of - Drayton College, a school of magic hidden in a secret pocket of Savannah. Lennon has been chosen because - like everyone else at the school - she is special. She possesses the innate gift of persuasion: the ability to wield her will like a weapon and to use it to control others and, in rare cases, matter itself. After passing the gruelling exam, Lennon must now learn how to master this devastating power. While persuasion takes a heavy toll on her body and her mind, she is captivated by all that surrounds her - her studies, Drayton’s lush, moss-draped campus, her brilliant classmates and, most of all, by Dante, the charismatic adviser who both intimidates and enamours her. But as Lennon becomes more adept at wielding her uncanny abilities, she uncovers more about the unsettling history of Drayton and Dante’s tragic and violent past, and is increasingly disturbed by what she finds. For it seems that the ultimate test is to embrace absolute power without succumbing to corruption and darkness . . . and it's a test she's terrified she is going to fail

Feng Shui for writers. How to master your writing life

Feng Shui for writers. How to master your writing life

The fully illustrated, comprehensive Feng Shui for writers shows you how to use the ancient technique of Feng Shui to organize around you the energies in such a way to successfully influence your writing mood and skills. And most of all, the book points out how to build a deep relation with your personal Muse. The book will not give you advice on writing techniques. Instead, it will provide you with all the dots that you have to connect so you can play with the energies, without having deep knowledge of Feng Shui. You will not need to draw complicated Feng Shui maps that will only succeed to make you dizzy and finally necessitate you to call a Feng Shui specialist to have them tell you exactly what you need to do. To find the harmony in your writing place and to increase your creativity, you - the writer - will need to apply the productivity principles combined with a design and layout that is suitable for the nature of the writing process. And here are the steps in the ancient art of Feng Shui. The writer’s Chi has to find a balance that will influence your creativity each moment. Depending on the field of interest in which you as an author work in, there can be various solutions to control the flowing Chi. This book does not intend to address the writer’s work or artistic skills but rather it addresses each writing category. We have to do this because what is harmony for a romantic novel writer is different from what is harmony for a journalist writer, and for sure very different than for the writer writing for the horror domain. You already got the idea. To bring the Feng Shui technique into the writer’s life, it is not enough to merely explain general principles and ideas; we have to dig deeper because the branches of writing are so numerous
