The Snake, the Dragon and the Tree

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Impossible as it may seem, this book begins with a young woman’s personal experience in her Garden of Eden, including a conversation with the speaking snake. It unfolds with actual dreams and fantasies about her internal world, accompanied by the Jungian psychoanalyst’s account of her awakening process. As she had both hysterical and schizoid symptoms, these had to be handled discretely. Over 30 of her colour paintings are included. “The Ghost Man Piping in the Snakes”, “The Girl Chained in the Air”, “The Burning and Divided Head” and “The Flaming Dragon Man” are examples of their subject matter. There had originally been 300 such paintings over the eight-year period, of which 33 served as turning points in her personal development. (About 1,000 dreams had been discussed during the analysis.) The author supplements his explanations with 40… [detailed...]

The Snakehead: An Epic Tale of the Chinatown Underworld and the American Dream

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A mesmerizing narrative about the rise and fall of an unlikely international crime bossIn the 1980s, a wave of Chinese from Fujian province began arriving in America. Like other immigrant groups before them, they showed up with little money but with an intense work ethic and an unshakeable belief in the promise of the United States. Many of them lived in a world outside the law, working in a shadow economy overseen by the ruthless gangs that ruled the narrow streets of New York’s Chinatown.The figure who came to dominate this Chinese underworld was a middle-aged grandmother known as Sister Ping. Her path to the American dream began with an unusual business run out of a tiny noodle store on Hester Street. From her perch above the shop, Sister Ping ran a full-service underground bank for illegal Chinese immigrants. But her real business-a business that earned an estimated $40 million-was smuggling people. As a “snakehead,” she built a complex—and often vicious—global conglomerate,… [detailed...]

Missy Chase Lapine
The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids` Favorite Meals

2007 y.
Publisher: Running Press
Description: Parents will do almost anything to get their kids to eat healthier, but unfortunately, they`ve found that begging, pleading, threatening, and bribing don`t work. With their patience wearing thin, parents will `give in` for the sake of family peace, and reach for `kiddie` favorites-often nutritionally inferior choices such as fried fish sticks, mac n` cheese, Pop-sicles, and cookies. Missy Chase Lapine, former publisher of Eating Well magazine, faced the same challenges with her two young daughters, and she sought a solution. Now in The Sneaky Chef, Lapine presents over 75 recipes that ingeniously disguise the most important superfoods inside kids` favorite meals. With the addition of a few simple make-ahead purees or clever replacements, (some may surprise you!) parents can pack more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants in their kids` foods. Examples of `Sneaky` recipes include: -No Harm Chicken Parm -Power Pizza -Incognito Burritos -Guerilla Grilled Cheese … [detailed...]

The Snippy World Of New Yorker Fashion Artist Michael Roberts

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Michael Roberts is the Jean Cocteau of the fashion world,` wrote the celebrated New Yorker editor Tina Brown in 1997, welcoming her new fashion editor to the most prestigious magazine in the world. Having already served for many years as a style editor ( The London Sunday Times , Vanity Fair ) and having produced numerous illustrations, photographs, paintings, and columns of fashion criticism for various media, Roberts had already had his name coupled with Cocteau`s, but his striking visual style is collected here for the first time. From evocative pen-and-ink sketches to acrylic paintings to intensely witty New Yorker covers created from cut paper, these works capture the fads, foibles, and fashionability of our times. Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue , in her introduction to `this beautiful book` calls them `fiendishly accurate satire.` And the shoe guru Manolo Blahnik writes, `His drawings grasp fashion moments like a photo could never… [detailed...]

Publisher: Random House Children`s Books
Description: А modern classic, `The Snow Goose` is set in the years running up to the remarkable rescue of the British army stranded on the beaches of Dunkirk during World War II. On the desolate marshes along the English coast, a young girl, Frith, comes to seekhelp from Philip Rhayader, a reclusive painter who lives in an abandoned lighthouse. She carries in her arms a wounded snow goose. Frith is frightened of Rhayader, but he is gentler than his strange appearance suggests and nurses the goose back to health. Over the following decade, Frith and the migrating snow goose return to the lighthouse each fall. An unspoken bond forms between Frith and Rhayader-and the snow goose. And then, in May 1940, hearing of the plight of the British army 100 miles across the English Channel, Philip says good-bye to Frith and heroically sets out in his tiny, sailboat for Dunkirk.

Peter Matthiessen
The Snow Leopard

1987 y.
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)
Description: In the autumn of 1973, the writer Peter Matthiessen set out in the company of zoologist George Schaller on a hike that would take them 250 miles into the heart of the Himalayan region of Dolpo, `the last enclave of pure Tibetan culture on earth.` Their voyage was in quest of one of the world`s most elusive big cats, the snow leopard of high Asia, a creature so rarely spotted as to be nearly mythical, Schaller was one of only two Westerners known to have seen a snow leopard in the wild since 1950. Published in 1978, The Snow Leopard is rightly regarded as a classic of modern nature writing. Guiding his readers through steep-walled canyons and over tall mountains, Matthiessen offers a narrative that is shot through with metaphor and mysticism, and his arduous search for the snow leopard becomes a vehicle for reflections on all manner of matters of life and death. In the process, The Snow Leopard evolves from an already exquisite book of natural history and travel… [detailed...]

The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life

2008 y.
Publisher: Bantam
Description: Here is the book recounting the life and times of one of the most respected men in the world, Warren Buffett. The legendary Omaha investor has never written a memoir, but now he has allowed one writer, Alice Schroeder, unprecedented access to explore directly with him and with those closest to him his work, opinions, struggles, triumphs, follies, and wisdom. The result is the personally revealing and complete biography of the man known everywhere as `The Oracle of Omaha.` Although the media track him constantly, Buffett himself has never told his full life story. His reality is private, especially by celebrity standards. Indeed, while the homespun persona that the public sees is true as far as it goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to prove that nice guys can finish first. Over the years he treated his investors as partners, acted as their steward, and championed honesty as an investor, CEO, board member, essayist, and speaker. At the… [detailed...]

Description: The Snowball is the first and will be the only biography of the world`s richest man, Warren Buffett, written with his full cooperation and collaboration. Combining a unique blend of `The Sage of Omaha`s` business savvy, life story and philosophy, The Snowball is essential reading for anyone wishing to discover and replicate the secrets of his business and life success. Warren Buffett is arguably the world`s greatest investor. Even as a child he was fascinated by the concept of risk and probability, setting up his first business at the age of six. In 1964 he bought struggling Massachusetts textile firm Berkshire Hathaway and grew it to be the 12th largest corporation in the US purely through the exercise of sound investing principles - a feat never equalled in the annals of business. His only indulgence is a private jet, an extravagance he wryly acknowledges by calling it `The Indefensible`. In 2006, he made the largest charitable donation on record, with most of it… [detailed...]

The Snowflake

2003 y.
Publisher: Voyageur Press
Description: Physicist Libbrecht and photographer Rasmussen both grew up in snowy climes, but it took a scientific and aesthetic focus to deepen their appreciation for snow`s hidden beauty, revelations they now share in a felicitous union of word and image. Libbrecht decodes the exquisite architecture of individual snowflakes by explaining how these `miniature ice masterpieces` are literally conjured out of thin air as water vapor condenses into ice in shapes dictated by the geometry of water molecules. Temperature, humidity, and motion all contribute to the forming of snow crystals, which shape-shift rapidly from simple faceted structures to complex branching forms, growing and falling at the rate of a million billion crystals a second. The physics of snow crystals is fascinating, and so, too, is Libbrecht`s history of the science of snowflakes, which features Rene Descartes, Johannes Kepler, Vermont farmer Wilson Bentley, who pioneered a method for photographing individual snowflakes, and… [detailed...]

The Social Amoebae: The Biology of Cellular Slime Molds

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Noted biologist and author John Tyler Bonner has experimented with cellular slime molds for more than sixty years, and he has done more than anyone else to raise these peculiar collections of amoebae from a minor biological curiosity to a major model organism--one that is widely studied for clues to the development and evolution of all living things. Now, five decades after he published his first pioneering book on cellular slime molds, Bonner steps back from the proliferating and increasingly specialized knowledge about the organism to provide a broad, nontechnical picture of its whole biology, including its evolution, sociobiology, ecology, behavior, and development. The Social Amoebae draws the big lessons from decades of research, and shows how slime molds fit into and illuminate biology as a whole. Slime molds are very different from other organisms, they feed as individual amoebae before coming together to form a multicellular organism that has a remarkable ability to move and… [detailed...]

The Social Consequences of Economic Restructuring in the Textile Industry : Change in a Southern Mill Village (Transnational Business and Corporate Culture : Problems and Opportunities)

Publisher: —
Description: This book analyzes the dramatic social impacts of global economic restructuring in the US textile industry and the consequences for Southern textile mill communities. With the expansion of markets in the global economy, government policies such as NAFTAand GATT are greatly affecting the domestic production of textiles. Increased global competitiveness has led to technological modernization, plant shutdowns, and downward pressure on wages. Many family-owned companies are merging into conglomerates, some of which are international. Concurrently, the structure of power and domination in Southern textile communities is changing. Paternalistic control, typically portrayed as a form of traditional authority and benevolent protection of workers, is no longer dominant. With the decreased need for skilled labor, textile company owners are not obligated to provide mill villages with housing electricity, and water. Formerly protected communities are now players on an international scale,… [detailed...]
