How did we get from there to here The Story of Human Origins recounts the most astonishing evolutionary tale ever told.Discover how our ancestors made the first tentative steps towards becoming human, how we lost our fur but gained language, fire and tools, how we strode out of Africa, invented farming and cities and ultimately created modern civilization - perhaps the only one of its kind in the Universe.Meet your long-lost ancestors, the other humans who once shared the planet with us, and learn where the story might end.

Even if you stick to the whole numbers, there are a lot to choose from - an infinite number in fact. Throw in decimal fractions and infinity suddenly gets an awful lot bigger (is that even possible ) And then there are the negative numbers, the imaginary numbers, and the irrational numbers like pi, which never end. It literally never ends. The world of numbers is indeed strange and beautiful. Among its inhabitants are some really notable characters - pi, e, the square root of minus two and the famous golden ratio to name just a few.'.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Growing up, it was always the three of them: Miller and Olly and Ash. They stuck together, like they were keeping a secret. They needed each other. As teenagers, they drove to LA, lived in a ramshackle place on the beach in Malibu, set up a record label. They were successful, best friends and Olly and Miller fell in love. Before it fell apart, it was beautiful. Then Olly stopped looking at Miller the way he used to. Miller spent a night with Ash, which turned into a marriage. And Miller and Ash came back to Wonderland, the tidal island of sugary painted houses they'd run away from. Now Miller's forty and she feels like she's disappearing. She wears her tinted sunglasses so often sometimes she forgets the world isn't green. Ash is having an affair with a helmet-haired tv presenter and Olly's career is over. Olly doesn't want to think about what he was going to owe, what any of them owed, to each other. But after everything that has happened, Wonderland is the only place it makes sense for him to go. Over a long, hot summer of Chardonnay and Chicken, Olly, Miller and Ash try to work out what it is that exists between them. They're so consumed with their love, losses and longing and the possibility of a redemptive third act, they barely notice what's going on between Miller's son, his best friend and the girl who lives next door. Some summers are spent yearning for something to happen, others are charged with the terrifying, exhilarating, feeling that everything is going to change. Welcome to Wonderland. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - INTRODUCED BY CAROLINE EDEN, award-winning author of Black Sea, Red Sands and Samarkand'Medieval pomp, splendour, and picturesqueness. a life that one can hardly even realize.'In 1912, Ella R. Christie - a veteran Scottish traveller who had made expeditions to Kashmir, Tibet, Malaya, Borneo, China, Korea and Japan - steamed across the Caspian Sea to explore Central Asia. Her travels through the Russian Empire took her to the Silk Road cities of Tashkent and Samarkand, and she became the first British woman to visit the Khanate of Khiva. Eschewing the cloak and dagger intrigues of a previous generation of Great Game spies, Christie was a meticulous observer of the everyday - whether meeting khans, dining with generals or vividly chronicling market life - shortly before war and revolution swept that world away.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'A powerful and valuable book to live a life of greater freedom and impact', Robin Sharma, #1 worldwide bestselling author of The 5AM Club and The Everyday Hero Manifesto Reimagine your future, adjust your efforts, jump into action and work for just ten more years before doing what the hell you want! Building a business can be confusing. Entrepreneurs aren't sure whether to keep control or delegate and automate, say yes or say no, work all hours or prioritize work-life balance. They take advice from all directions and wind up feeling overwhelmed and overworked without a finish line in sight. The TEN YEAR CAREER turns that premise upside down and argues that it doesn't have to be that way. If you have intention, focus, a willingness to question received truths and the vision to think big, you can emulate the world's most successful entrepreneurs and retire in ten years, no matter where you are in your career today. You'll learn: - How to define success your way, not their way. - How to achieve far more in a shorter space of time. - How to run your business without it running you. - The four-step framework by which to complete your Ten Year Career. You can achieve much more than you do now, in much less time than you thought, to reach financial freedom earlier than you imagined. That freedom, in turn, leads to the freedom to choose how you spend your days. The freedom to do whatever you want, with whomever you want, when you want to do it. The freedom to live life on your own terms.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The epic tale of a brilliant woman who must reinvent herself to survive, moving from Mussolini's Italy to 1940s Los Angeles-a timeless story of love, deceit, and sacrifice from the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of A Constellation of Vital PhenomenaLike many before her, Maria Lagana has come to Hollywood to outrun her past. Born in Rome, where every Sunday her father took her to the cinema instead of church, Maria immigrates with her mother to Los Angeles after a childhood transgression leads to her father's arrest.Fifteen years later, on the eve of America's entry into World War II, Maria is an associate producer at Mercury Pictures, trying to keep her personal and professional lives from falling apart. Her mother won't speak to her. Her boss, a man of many toupees, has been summoned to Washington by congressional investigators. Her boyfriend, a virtuoso Chinese American actor, can't escape the studio's narrow typecasting. And the studio itself, Maria's only home in exile, teeters on the verge of bankruptcy.Over the coming months, as the bright lights go dark across Los Angeles, Mercury Pictures becomes a nexus of European émigrés: modernist poets trying their luck as B-movie screenwriters, once-celebrated architects becoming scale-model miniaturists, and refugee actors finding work playing the very villains they fled. While the world descends into war, Maria rises through a maze of conflicting politics, divided loyalties, and jockeying ambitions. But when the arrival of a stranger from her father's past threatens Maria's carefully constructed facade, she must finally confront her father's fate-and her own.Written with intelligence, wit, and an exhilarating sense of possibility, Mercury Pictures Presents spans many moods and tones, from the heartbreaking to the ecstatic. It is a love letter to life's bit players, a panorama of an era that casts a long shadow over our own, and a tour de force by a novelist whose work The Washington Post calls 'a flash in the heavens that makes you look up and believe in miracles.'.
