-Titulo Original : To Have And Have Another Revised Edition A Hemingway Cocktail Companion-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: Ernest Hemingway is nearly as famous for his drinking as he is for his writing.

Review “A fascinating literary-booze study . . .” -The Washington Post “An interesting read and a must-have for Hemingway lovers and craft bartenders.” -Kirkus Reviews “At a time when cocktail books have become rote, To Have and Have Another by Philip Greene subverts the formula and provides recipe-by-recipe substance to Ernest Hemingway’s drinking ways . . . [Greene] lets the drinks lead the way but fleshes each one with meticulous detail to round out the pieces of Papa’s lusty life.” -San Francisco Chronicle “A brilliant, historical account of Hemingway and his cocktail references.” -Seattle Times “Even a casual student of the novelist Ernest Hemingway knows the man liked to drink.

-Titulo Original : Travels With Myself And Another A Memoir-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: Now including a foreward by Bill Buford and photographs of Gellhorn with Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Gary Cooper, and others, this new edition rediscovers the voice of an extraordinary woman and brings back into print an irresistibly entertaining classic.Martha Gellhorn was so fearless in a male way, and yet utterly capable of making men melt, writes New Yorker literary editor Bill Buford. As a journalist, Gellhorn covered every military conflict from the Spanish Civil War to Vietnam and Nicaragua. She also bewitched Eleanor Roosevelts secret love and enraptured Ernest Hemingway with her courage as they dodged shell fire together.Hemingway is, of course, the unnamed other in the title of this tart memoir, first published in 1979, in which Gellhorn describes her globe-spanning adventures, both accompanied and alone. With razor-sharp humor and exceptional insight into place and character, she tells of a tense week spent among dissidents in Moscow; long days whiled away in a disused water tank with hippies clustered at Eilat on the Red Sea; and her journeys by sampan and horse to the interior of China during the Sino-Japanese War. Review Travels With Myself and Another is [Martha Gellhorns] most intimate book and not well-enough known. As Bill Buford wrote in his foreword to a 2001 reissue of it, in the complexity of her observations she prefigures the works of people like Bruce Chatwin and Paul Theroux and Jonathan Raban and the renaissance of first-person adventure writing. --Dwight Garner, The New York TimesWhenever I meet someone who has not yet discovered this book, I attempt to describe why its so marvellous...delicious reading. --Stephanie Nolan, The Globe and Mail About the Author Martha Gellhorn published five novels and seven prize-winning collections of her explosive journalism. Her career spanned several decades: She covered the 1937-38 war in Spain, sent dispatches from the front in World War II and followed the trail of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, and reported on the conflicts in Vietnam in 1966 and in Israel in 1967. Gellhorn died in 1998 at the age of eighty-nine...

-Titulo Original : The Secret Doctrine The Classic Work, Abridged And Annotated-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: Madame Blavatskys Victorian-era masterpiece is now scaled down to its essentials, providing the most readable, accessible experience ever of one of historys seminal occult works. The Secret Doctrine, Helena Petrovna Blavatskys masterwork on the origin and evolution of the universe and humanity itself, is arguably the most famous, and perhaps the most influential, occult book ever written. Published since 1888 only in expensive, two-volume editions of some 1,400 pages, it has long eluded the grasp of modern readers- until now. This single-volume edition, abridged and annotated by historian and Theosophical scholar Michael Gomes, places the ideas of The Secret Doctrine within reach of all who are curious. In particular, Gomes provides a critical sounding of the books famous stanzas on the genesis of life and the cosmos- mysterious passages that Blavatsky said originated from a primeval source and which form the heart of The Secret Doctrine. Gomes scrupulously scales down the books key writings on symbolism to their essentials, and offers notes and a glossary to illuminate arcane references. His historical and literary introduction casts new light on some of the books sources and on the career of its brilliant and elusive author, one of the most intriguing personages of the nineteenth century. At once compact and representative of the work as a whole, this new edition of The Secret Doctrine brings unprecedented accessibility to the key esoteric classic of the modern era.

The eternal parent wrapped in her ever invisible robes had slumbered once again for seven eternities.2. Time was not, for it lay asleep in the infinite bosom of duration.5. Universal mind was not, for there were no Ah-hi to contain it.4. The seven ways to bliss were not. The great causes of misery were not, for there was no one to produce and get ensnared by them.5. Darkness alone filled the boundless all, for father, mother and son were once more one, and the son had not awakened yet for the new wheel, and his pilgrimage thereon.6. The seven sublime lords and the seven truths had ceased to be, and the Universe, the son of Necessity, was immersed in Paranishpanna, to be outbreathed by that which is and yet is not. Naught was.7. The causes of existence had been done away with; the visible that was, and the invisible that is, rested in eternal non-being-the one being.8. Alone the one form of existence stretched boundless, infinite, causeless, in dreamless sleep; and life pulsated unconscious in universal space, throughout that all-presence which is sensed by the opened eye of the Dangma.9. But where was the Dangma when the Alaya of the universe was in Paramartha and the great wheel was Anupadaka?STANZA II.1. . . . Where were the builders, the luminous sons of Manvantaric dawn? . . .

-Titulo Original : The Dumbest Generation How The Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans And Jeopardizes Our Future(or, Don T Trust Anyone Under 30)-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: This shocking, surprisingly entertaining romp into the intellectual nether regions of todays underthirty set reveals the disturbing and, ultimately, incontrovertible truth: cyberculture is turning us into a society of know-nothings. The Dumbest Generation is a dire report on the intellectual life of young adults and a timely warning of its impact on American democracy and culture. For decades, concern has been brewing about the dumbed-down popular culture available to young people and the impact it has on their futures. But at the dawn of the digital age, many thought they saw an answer: the internet, email, blogs, and interactive and hyper-realistic video games promised to yield a generation of sharper, more aware, and intellectually sophisticated children. The terms “information superhighway” and “knowledge economy” entered the lexicon, and we assumed that teens would use their knowledge and understanding of technology to set themselves apart as the vanguards of this new digital era. That was the promise. But the enlightenment didn’t happen. The technology that was supposed to make young adults more aware, diversify their tastes, and improve their verbal skills has had the opposite effect. According to recent reports from the National Endowment for the Arts, most young people in the United States do not read literature, visit museums, or vote. They cannot explain basic scientific methods, recount basic American history, name their local political representatives, or locate Iraq or Israel on a map. The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future is a startling examination of the intellectual life of young adults and a timely warning of its impact on American culture and democracy. Over the last few decades, how we view adolescence itself has changed, growing from a pitstop on the road to adulthood to its own space in society, wholly separate from adult life. This change in adolescent culture has gone hand in hand with an insidious infantilization of our culture at large; as adolescents continue to disengage from the adult world, they have built their own, acquiring more spending money, steering classrooms and culture towards their own needs and interests, and now using the technology once promoted as the greatest hope for their futures to indulge in diversions, from MySpace to multiplayer video games, 24/7. Can a nation continue to enjoy political and economic predominance if its citizens refuse to grow up? Drawing upon exhaustive research, personal anecdotes, and historical and social analysis, The Dumbest Generation presents a portrait of the young American mind at this critical juncture, and lays out a compelling vision of how we might address its deficiencies. The Dumbest Generation pulls no punches as it reveals the true cost of the digital age-and our last chance to fix it. Review If youre the parent of someone under 20 and read only one non-fiction book this fall, make it this one. Bauerleins simple but jarring thesis is that technology and the digital culture it has created are not broadening the horizon of the younger generation; they are narrowing it to a self-absorbed social universe that blocks out virtually everything else. -Don Campbell, USA Today An urgent and pragmatic book on the very dark topic of the virtual end of reading among the young. -Harold Bloom Never have American students had it so easy, and never have they achieved less. . . . Mr. Bauerlein delivers this bad news in a surprisingly brisk and engaging fashion, blowing holes in a lot of conventional educational wisdom. -Charles McGrath, The New York Times It wouldnt be going too far to call this book the Why Johnny Cant Read for the digital age. -Booklist Throughout The Dumbest Generation, there are . . . keen insights into how the new digital world really is changing the way young people engage with information and the obstacles t...
