Magic for Beginners

Link’s engaging and funny second collection — call it kitchen-sink magical realism — riffs on haunted convenience stores, husbands and wives, rabbits, zombies, weekly apocalyptic poker parties, witches, superheroes, marriage, and cannons — and includes several new stories.

Английский язык с О.Уайльдом. Счастливый принц и другие сказки. Метод чтения Ильи Франка.

Текст адаптирован (без упрощения текста оригинала) по методу Ильи Франка: текст разбит на небольшие отрывки, каждый из которых повторяется дважды: сначала идет английский текст с «подсказками» — с вкрапленным в него дословным русским переводом и лексико-грамматическим комментарием (то есть адаптированный), а затем — тот же текст, но уже неадаптированный, без подсказок.

“Rożewicz's search for an absolute transparency of style articulates the moment of the poem as a kind of nothing that happens nowhere in particular, as if his personal biography disappears each time he sets words on paper — sets words in scorn of words to create an invisible anti-poetry which we seem not to read but to look through at some terrible fact that can never be pinned down, described, or sung.”

Pyramid Scheme

An alien pyramid has appeared on Earth, squatting in the middle of Chicago. It is growing, destroying the city as it does — and nothing seems able to stop it, not even the might of the US military. Somehow, the alien device is snatching people and — for unknown reasons — transporting them into worlds of mythology. Dr Lukacs is one of the victims. Granted, he's an expert on mythology. But myths are not something he'd thought to encounter personally.

In this book, successful organizations—including well-known companies such as  GE Capital, Hewlett Packard, MIT, Motorola, and others—share their most effective approaches, tools, and specific methods for leadership development and organizational change.
