Drawing on traditional Vedic Astrology as well as his own research and winning experience, Simon Chokoisky outlines 5 powerful techniques for predicting the outcome of any competition between two opponents with 70-80 percent accuracy. He explains how sports betting offers black-and-white outcomes and you do not have to be an advanced astrologer to understand the principles in this book or to apply them to daily life.

Through the story of a portrait of a woman in a silk dress, historian Zara Anishanslin embarks on a fascinating journey, exploring and refining debates about the cultural history of the eighteenth-century British Atlantic world. While most scholarship on commodities focuses either on labor and production or on consumption and use, Anishanslin unifies both, examining the worlds of four identifiable people who produced, wore, and represented this object: a London weaver, one of early modern Britain's few women silk designers, a Philadelphia merchant's wife, and a New England painter. Blending macro and micro history with nuanced gender analysis, Anishanslin shows how making, buying, and using goods in the British Atlantic created an object-based community that tied its inhabitants together, while also allowing for different views of the Empire. Investigating a range of subjects including self-fashioning, identity, natural history, politics, and trade, Anishanslin makes major con...

This book uses the formerly secret Soviet state and Communist Party archives to describe the creation and operations of the Soviet administrative command system. It concludes that the system failed not because of the 'jockey'(i.e. Stalin and later leaders) but because of the 'horse' (the economic system). Although Stalin was the system's prime architect, the system was managed by thousands of 'Stalins' in a nested dictatorship. The core values of the Bolshevik Party dictated the choice of the administrative command system, and the system dictated the political victory of a Stalin-like figure. This study pinpoints the reasons for the failure of the system - poor planning, unreliable supplies, the preferential treatment of indigenous enterprises, the lack of knowledge of planners, etc. - but also focuses on the basic principal-agent conflict between planners and producers, which created a sixty-year reform stalemate. ...

Raw, intimate, and timely, Nadia Bolz-Weber's latest book offers a full-blown overhaul of our harmful and antiquated ideas about sex, gender, and our bodies. Christians are obsessed with sex. But not in a good way. For nearly two thousand years, this obsession has often turned destructive, inflicting pain, suffering, and guilt on countless people of all persuasions and backgrounds. In Shameless, Bolz-Weber calls for a reformation. To make her case, she offers experiences from her own life and stories from her parishoners alongside biblical theology to explore what the church has taught, and the harm those teachings have caused. Along the way, she re-examines patriarchy, sex, and power with candour but also with hope, because in her heart she believes the "Gospel is powerful enough, transgressive enough, and beautiful enough to heal not only the ones who have been hurt but also those who have done the hurting." This is by far Bolz-Weber's most personal book yet, revea...

What is intelligence? The concept crosses and blurs the boundaries between natural and artificial, bridging the human brain and the cybernetic world of AI. In this book, the acclaimed philosopher Catherine Malabou ventures a new approach that emphasizes the intertwined, networked relationships among the biological, the technological, and the symbolic. Malabou traces the modern metamorphoses of intelligence, seeking to understand how neurobiological and neurotechnological advances have transformed our view. She considers three crucial developments: the notion of intelligence as an empirical, genetically based quality measurable by standardized tests; the shift to the epigenetic paradigm, with its emphasis on neural plasticity; and the dawn of artificial intelligence, with its potential to simulate, replicate, and ultimately surpass the workings of the brain. Malabou concludes that a dialogue between human and cybernetic intelligence offers the best if not the only means to build a democ...

Does success follow simple rules? It is hard to believe success in any one endeavor follows the same pattern as success in any other endeavor. But that is the hypothesis The Endeavor Paradigm sets out to develop and prove. Using six simple terms, turned into six questions, inverted into six precepts and glued together with one critical key, The Endeavor Paradigm emerges as the pattern for success in any type of undertaking. Starting with a simple premise, but moving through ever more complexities, The Endeavor Paradigm illustrates the assertion that running anything reasonably well is actually pretty good. The Endeavor Paradigm can be used to initiate an endeavor, or to sharpen the effectiveness or efficiency of an endeavor, or to locate the source of one or more troublesome problems plaguing an endeavor. But the solutions to these actions always come back to applying The Endeavor Paradigm properly. Along the way The Endeavor Paradigm identifies multiple "ah-ha's" and ins...

Como cantaba Louis Armstrong, el mundo es un lugar maravilloso, lleno de pajaritos y florecillas, pero también de criaturas terribles. Cada año, 600 personas son devoradas por cocodrilos; 800 acaban en la barriga de tigres, leopardos y leones; 2.000 mueren a causa de picaduras de arañas y escorpiones; 125.000 son víctimas de mordeduras de serpientes, y cerca de tres millones caen por culpa de los mosquitos. Hay medusas diminutas que pueden matar a una persona entre dolores atroces, arañas mortíferas que anidan en las piscinas y encima saben nadar, hormigas capaces de dejarte en los huesos sin ponerte a dieta, preciosas caracolas que disparan dardos mortales y hasta un simpático pececillo, el candirú, que tiene la fea costumbre de meterse por la uretra cuando haces pipí en un río.  El mundo está lleno de criaturas terribles y en este libro están todas.  OJO, NO TE ACERQUES MUCHO… Product details ...
