2. Lääkärin vaimo - Daniel Hurst
|

Mies luulee, ettei kukaan tiedä hänen salaisuuttaan.  Mutta hänen vaimonsa tietää totuuden... Mieheni on lääkäri. Hän on älykäs ja hurmaava, ja kaikki luottavat häneen. Kaikki paitsi minä. Päällisin puolin näyttää siltä, että minulla on kaikki – täydellinen avioliitto, täydellinen aviomies, täydellinen elämä. Se on kuitenkin kaukana totuudesta. Tohtori Drew Devlin ei ole niin kunniallinen mies, kuin mitä antaa ymmärtää. Muutimme tähän kauniiseen, vanhaan taloon, josta on upeat näkymät merelle, koska halusimme jättää menneisyyden taakse. Sen piti olla uusi alku meille molemmille. Paitsi että minulle selvisi, että mieheni on taas valehdellut minulle. Hän käyttää työnsä tuomaa valta-asemaa puuttuakseen ihmisten elämään ja saadakseen juuri sen, mitä haluaa – riippumatta siitä, kuka joutuu kärsimään. Hän on kuitenkin aliarvioinut minut. Täällä syrjäseudulla minulla on ollut paljon aikaa miettiä kaikkia hänen tekemiään virheitä. Eikä miehelläni ei ole aavistustakaan siitä, mitä seuraavaksi tapahtuu... --- "Voi hyvät hyssykät... tämä kirja on ahmittava alusta loppuun! JESSUS! Kaikki ne juonenkäänteet saivat pääni pyörälle! Lukukokemus ansaitsee paljon enemmän kuin viisi tähteä. Tämä kirja on pakko lukea!" – Heidi Lynnin kirja-arvostelut "Vau! Aivan koukuttava. Luin kirjan yhdeltä istumalta... Istuin tuolin reunalla jyrsien kynsiäni. Sydämeni laukkasi koko ajan! Aivan huikean jännittävä kokemus. Kirjaa ei malta laskea alas... Ihan hullaannuin siitä." – Bookworm86 "Vau, vau, vau, vau, vau, vau. Siis vau.

Eihän niissä käänteissä edes pysynyt mukana... Ihan tyrmäävä teos. Tämä julmettu tarina on pakko lukea!" – Once Upon a Time Book Reviews "Aivan järkyttävä ja fantastinen tarina... Jos pidät vuoristoradasta, laitapa turvavyöt tiukalle, sillä sinua odottaa hurja kyyti täynnä tiukkoja käänteitä... Uskomatonta!" – @travel_through_books "Tämä oli toinen lukemani kirja tältä kirjailijalta. Olen jälleen kerran aivan hurmaantunut hänen kirjoitustyylistään ja kyvystään kirjoittaa niin mukaansatempaava tarina... Koska kyseessä on rikostarina, voisi luulla, että tarinankulun voisi helposti arvata jo ennen kirjan avaamista. No, suosittelen lämpimästi avaamaan kirjan ja uppoutumaan tarinaan, joka on täynnä petosta ja valheita... Toivon, että nautit siitä yhtä paljon kuin minä. 5 tähteä" – B for Bookreview |

10. The Denial of Death - Ernest Becker
|
|||
|
'It made me rethink the roots of our deepest fears and insecurities, and why we often disappoint ourselves in how we manifest them' Bill Clinton, Guardian Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life's work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker's brilliant and impassioned answer to the 'why' of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie - man's refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. The book argues that human civilisation is a defence against the knowledge that we are mortal beings. Becker states that humans live in both the physical world and a symbolic world of meaning, which is where our 'immortality project' resides. We create in order to become immortal - to become part of something we believe will last forever. In this way we hope to give our lives meaning. In The Denial of Death , Becker sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates decades after it was written. |

24. MIXERMAN’S Ultimate Guide to PRODUCING Records, Music & Songs - Mixerman
|
|||
|
Let’s face it. These days, everyone is a producer. Artists have to be producers, songwriters have to be producers, musicians have to be producers. Recordists and mixers have to be producers—and most of those producers now have to be recordists, mixers, and mastering engineers too. Rather than reject that reality in an attempt to hold onto some archaic, elitist notion of the past, I set out to write a modern producing guide that meets the needs of today’s music-makers. Well! That was a monumental task. Nearly 600 pages later, I’ve written the most comprehensive book I’ve ever published on producing recorded music. Making records is hard. Misinformation is everywhere. And most of us are wearing multiple hats just to get the job done. Today, you need to learn it all—which is a problem, considering it took me nearly my entire career to learn everything I share in this guide. It takes years of dedicated focus across varied real-world situations to master any one discipline. It’s absolutely insane to try to master them all at once. But that’s the world we live in—and that’s why I wrote this book. As a gold and platinum award-winning mixer, engineer, and producer, my goal was to create an essential, no-BS guide full of battle-tested strategies for producing professional-quality music—whether for yourself or others, at home or in a full-scale studio. Making music is an art. The decision-making process requires a human perspective. This book comes from my unique experience as a professional music-maker, developed over decades of technological shifts and evolving musical trends. I don’t just tell you how to produce music—I tell you why I make certain decisions, and why you might make certain decisions, whether musical, technical, organizational, or political in nature. There’s insight in this book you won’t find anywhere else. Covers everything: songwriting, arranging, recording, mixing, mastering, engineering, acoustics, creative vision, and studio politics. For Home Producers, Songwriter-Producers, Self-Producers, and For-Hire Producers—if you make music, this book is for you. Cuts through the BS—no useless jargon, no academic fluff—just real-world, practical advice and explanations that focus on what's most important. Your mix is your production. Your production is your mastered mix. If you want to create professional, competitive, and emotionally impactful music, this Guide will prove invaluable—a resource you'll return to for years to come. |

Thomas Sowell “both surprises and overturns received wisdom” in this indispensable examination of widespread economic fallacies ( The Economist ) Economic Facts and Fallacies exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues-and does so in a lively manner and without requiring any prior knowledge of economics by the reader. These include many beliefs widely disseminated in the media and by politicians, such as mistaken ideas about urban problems, income differences, male-female economic differences, as well as economics fallacies about academia, about race, and about Third World countries. One of the themes of Economic Facts and Fallacies is that fallacies are not simply crazy ideas but in fact have a certain plausibility that gives them their staying power-and makes careful examination of their flaws both necessary and important, as well as sometimes humorous. Written in the easy-to-follow style of the author's Basic Economics , this latest book is able to go into greater depth, with real world examples, on specific issues. |

“At Attention is a story of healing, of hope, of that rush of new attraction, of friendship, trust building, letting go, and realizing that you can’t control your heart even when you have binders and lists to control everything else in your life.” —Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews Lieutenant Apollo Floros can ace tactical training missions, but being a single dad to his twin daughters is more than he can handle. He needs live-in help, and he’s lucky a friend’s younger brother needs a place to stay. He’s surprised to see Dylan all grown up with a college degree…and a college athlete’s body. Apollo’s widowed heart may still be broken, but Dylan has his blood heating up. It’s been eight years since the teenage Dylan followed Apollo around like a lovesick puppy, and it’s time he showed Lieutenant Hard-to-Please that he’s all man now—an adult who’s fully capable of choosing responsibility over lust. He can handle Apollo’s muscular sex appeal, but Apollo the caring father? Dylan can’t afford to fall for that guy. He’s determined to hold out for someone who’s able to love him back, not someone who only sees him as a kid brother. Apollo is shocked by the intensity of his attraction to Dylan. Maybe some no-strings summer fun will bring this former SEAL back to life. But the combination of scorching desire and warm affection is more than he’d expected, and the emotion between them scares him senseless. No fling lasts forever, and Apollo will need to decide what’s more important if he wants to keep Dylan in his life—his past or his future.

But not like this. Not looking into the eyes of the man who betrayed me. But when my nephew's guardianship is contested, I decide I'll do whatever it takes to keep him in Rose Hill. Even if it means marrying the enemy. Rhys Dupris. A man who is secretive, broody, and completely infuriating. A man whose work takes him away for weeks on end and brings him back covered in mysterious bruises-ones he won't talk about. In fact, we barely talk at all.

But living under the same roof is a dangerous temptation. I swore I would never forgive him. But that was before I knew the man behind the mask. The one who's fierce and protective. The one who's gentle and patient. The one who shows up for us when we need him most. He's not at all who I thought he was.

58. Ruhtinas - Niccolò Machiavelli
|
|||
|
Ruhtinas (Il Principe) on Niccolò Machiavellin vuonna 1513 kirjoittama kirja, joka julkaistiin vasta vuonna 1532. Se on renessanssin ajalle hyvin tyypillinen: se on ohjekirja hallitsijoille. Teos on erityisesti osoitettu Lorenzo de' Medicille, joka oli myös paavi Leo X:n veljenpoika, siinä toivossa, että hän Machiavellin ohjeiden avulla osoittautuisi siksi suureksi hallitsijaksi, jota Firenze kaipasi palauttaakseen itsenäisen valta-asemansa. Luultavasti Machiavelli myös toivoi, että kirja saattaisi hänet takaisin Medicien suosioon, hän voisi palata maanpaosta ja nousta takaisin politiikan keskiöön. |

61. Assassin's Quest - Robin Hobb
|

|
“An enthralling conclusion to this superb trilogy, displaying an exceptional combination of originality, magic, adventure, character, and drama.”— Kirkus Reviews  (starred review) King Shrewd is dead at the hands of his son Regal. As is Fitz—or so his enemies and friends believe. But with the help of his allies and his beast magic, he emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul. The kingdom also teeters toward ruin: Regal has plundered and abandoned the capital, while the rightful heir, Prince Verity, is lost to his mad quest—perhaps to death. Only Verity’s return—or the heir his princess carries—can save the Six Duchies.   But Fitz will not wait. Driven by loss and bitter memories, he undertakes a quest: to kill Regal. The journey casts him into deep waters, as he discovers wild currents of magic within him—currents that will either drown him or make him something more than he was.   Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassin’s Quest   “Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.” —George R. R. Martin   “Superbly written, wholly satisfying, unforgettable: better than any fantasy trilogy in print—including mine!” —Melanie Rawn |

Pregnant women are told to avoid cold cuts, sushi, alcohol, and coffee without ever being told why these are forbidden. Rules for prenatal testing are similarly unexplained. Parents-to-be desperately want a resource that empowers them to make their own right choices. When award-winning economist Emily Oster was a mom-to-be herself, she evaluated the data behind the accepted rules of pregnancy, and discovered that most are often misguided and some are just flat-out wrong. Debunking myths and explaining everything from the real effects of caffeine to the surprising dangers of gardening, Expecting Better is the book for every pregnant woman who wants to enjoy a healthy and relaxed pregnancy—and the occasional glass of wine. |

'Dreamy prose, characters so vibrant they breathe on the page, a romance that smoulders, and a spellbinding world to get lost in. Prepare to meet your next obsession' Rebecca Ross, author of Divine Rivals From New York Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes the next big romantasy phenomenon: a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a prophetess who is forced on an impossible quest with the one devilishly handsome knight whose future is beyond her sight. Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum's windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams. Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil's visions. But when Sybil's fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral's cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she'd rather avoid Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god. Praise for The Knight and the Moth: 'The Knight and the Moth delivers pure joy: gargoyles! gods! girls in armour! alongside a serious examination of faith, fealty, and the powers they serve.

If you want to program professionally, it is not enough to learn to code; that is why, in addition to helping you learn to program, Althoff also cover the rest of the things you need to know to program professionally that classes and books don't teach you. The Self-taught Programmer is a roadmap, a guide to take you from writing your first Python program to passing your first technical interview. The book is divided into five sections: 1. Learn to program in Python 3 and build your first program. 2. Learn object-oriented programming and create a powerful Python program to get you hooked. 3. Learn to use tools like Git, Bash and regular expressions. Then use your new coding skills to build a web scraper. 4. Study computer science fundamentals like data structures and algorithms. 5. Finish with best coding practices, tips for working with a team and advice on landing a programming job. You can learn to program professionally. The path is there. Will you take it? From the author I spent one year writing The Self-Taught Programmer . It was an exciting and rewarding experience. I treated my book like a software project. After I finished writing it, I created a program to pick out all of the code examples from the book and execute them in Python to make sure all 300+ examples worked properly. Then I wrote software to add line numbers and color to every code example. Finally, I had a group of 200 new programmers 'beta read' the book to identify poorly explained concepts and look for any errors my program missed. I hope you learn as much reading my book as I did writing it. Best of luck with your programming! |
