What I Loved: A Novel

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What I Loved begins in New York in 1975, when art historian Leo Hertzberg discovers an extraordinary painting by an unknown artist in a SoHo gallery. He buys the work, tracks down the artist, Bill Wechsler, and the two men embark on a life-long friendship. Leo`s story, which spans twenty-five years, follows the growing involvement between his family and Bill`s-an intricate constellation of attachments that includes the two men, their wives, Erica and Violet, and their sons, Matthew and Mark. The families live in the same New York apartment building, rent a house together in the summers and keep up a lively exchange of ideas about life and art, but the bonds between them are tested, first by sudden tragedy, and then by a monstrous duplicity that slowly comes to the surface. A beautifully written novel that combines the intimacy of a family saga with the suspense of a thriller, What I Loved is a deeply moving story about art, love, loss, and betrayal. [detailed...]

Many of Chesterton’s reflections are timeless and startlingly prescient, and though unsparingly critical at times he was enthralled by the glorious ideals of the nation – founded on principles of equality, democracy and freedom.

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

Publisher: —
Description: From the best-selling author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and After Dark, a rich and revelatory memoir about writing and running, and the integral impact both have made on his life.In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Haruki Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and–even more important–on his writing. Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and includes settings ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when… [detailed...]

What If Boomers Can`t Retire: How to Build Real Security, Not Phantom Wealth

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: o Debunks the popular but dangerous myth that inflating stock prices creates national wealth o Reveals what can be done to avert a potential disaster for future retirees and the nation o Shows readers how to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of their retirement portfolios Three major trends are on a collision course: populations are aging in nearly all developed countries, increasing use of corporate stocks to create synthetic wealth, and growing hopes that stocks will help millions of baby boomers retire. But what will happen when boomers switch from buying stocks to selling them for retirement income? According to Thornton Parker, the answer is clear: prices will decline, stocks will become less important, corporations will shift their emphasis from inflating stocks to just surviving, and a depression could result. The bright side is that if enough boomers work in their later years and preserve their capital, and if the country improves the way it uses capital, the… [detailed...]

What If I Had Never Tried It: The Autobiography

2006 y.
Publisher: Motorbooks
Description: `What If I had Never Tried It` is the first autobiography of arguably the world`s greatest motorcycle road racing champion, Valentino Rossi. Certainly he is the greatest in modern times and similarly the best loved. This is the official, personal story: fast paced yet insightful. Rossi`s record in the motorcycle road racing World Championship is supreme. First in the ultra-competitive 125 class starting in 1996, then in the 250 class only to graduate shortly thereafter to the big league of the 500s. In 2002 the premier class switched direction moving from 500 cc two-strokes to 990 cc four-strokes from then on to be known as MotoGP. Rossi rides for Honda and wins. He wins on a Honda the next year and then switches to Yamaha, to every race fans` surprise, and wins against all odds. He wins again in 2005. No one is close. No one is faster. And all at speeds which approach 200 mph. Both on and off-track, on the ubiquitous TV screen or walking in the street, Rossi is idolized… [detailed...]

With more than twenty-five years of experience teaching creative writing between them, Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter offer more than seventy-five exercises for both beginners and more experienced writers. These exercises are designed to develop and refine two basic skills: writing like a writer and, just as important, thinking like a writer. They deal with such topics as discovering where to start and end a story, learning when to use dialogue and when to use indirect discourse, transforming real events into fiction, and finding language that both sings and communicates precisely. What If? will be an essential addition to every writer`s library, a welcome and much-used companion, a book that gracefully borrows a whisper from the muse. [detailed...]

What Intelligence Tests Miss: The Psychology of Rational Thought

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Critics of intelligence tests—writers such as Robert Sternberg, Howard Gardner, and Daniel Goleman—have argued in recent years that these tests neglect important qualities such as emotion, empathy, and interpersonal skills. However, such critiques imply that though intelligence tests may miss certain key noncognitive areas, they encompass most of what is important in the cognitive domain. In this book, Keith E. Stanovich challenges this widely held assumption. Stanovich shows that IQ tests (or their proxies, such as the SAT) are radically incomplete as measures of cognitive functioning. They fail to assess traits that most people associate with “good thinking,” skills such as judgment and decision making. Such cognitive skills are crucial to real-world behavior, affecting the way we plan, evaluate critical evidence, judge risks and probabilities, and make effective decisions. IQ tests fail to assess these skills of rational thought, even though they are measurable cognitive processes…. [detailed...]
