Abstract Seed as it comes from the field is almost never pure. It usually arrives at the cleaning plant containing large quantities of trash, leaves, weed segments, other crop seeds, and insects. If it contains such materials as green leaves and other high-moisture materials, it cannot be safely stored, efficiently handled, nor accurately cleaned until most of the foreign material has been removed. The process of removing these unwanted materials from a seed lot, along with overall improvement of seed quality, is known as seed conditioning. ![]() Summary A reference text with the latest information and research for educators, students, and researchers!

NOW A MAJOR TV SHOW ON NETFLIX Persepolis Rising is the seventh novel in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series. In the thousand-sun network of humanity's expansion, new colony worlds are struggling to find their way. Every new planet lives on a knife-edge between collapse and wonder, and the crew of the aging gunship Rocinante have their hands more than full keeping the fragile peace. In the vast space between Earth and Jupiter, the inner planets and the Belt have formed a tentative and uncertain alliance still haunted by a history of wars and prejudices. On the lost colony world of Laconia, a hidden enemy has a new vision for all of humanity and the power to enforce it. New technologies clash with old as the history of human conflict returns to its ancient pattern of war and subjugation. But human nature is not the only enemy, and the forces being unleashed have their own price. A price that will change the shape of humanity - and of the Rocinante -unexpectedly and forever.

The #1 New York Times bestselling sequel to Words of Radiance, from epic fantasy author Brandon Sanderson at the top of his game. In Oathbringer, the third volume of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe with numbers as great as their thirst for vengeance. Dalinar Kholin’s Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified. Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar’s blood-soaked past and stand together—and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past—even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization.

Bu kitap hazırlanırken, yola çıkılan neden “Türkçe konuşan kişiler neden İngilizce öğrenirken zorlanır?” sorusu olmuştur. Pek çok kişi uzun yıllar okudukları okullarda İngilizce eğitimi almış olmalarına rağmen İngilizce konuşmaya geçememişlerdir. Bu durumun sebepleri olarak ezberci anlatımları, dilbilgisi ağırlıklı dersleri ve buna benzer sebepleri saymak mümkündür. Ancak en büyük sebebi iki dil arasındaki farklılıklara uyum sağlamaktaki güçlük oluşturmaktadır. İngilizce derslerinde ya da kitaplarda yeni dilin kuralları sıralanmakta ve bunlar kalıplar halinde ezberletilmektedir. Bu kitap hazırlanırken ezberci anlatımdan uzak durularak iki dil arasındaki farklılıklar gösterilmiş, sınıf ortamında zorlanılan konular vurgulanarak en çok hata yapılan noktalar üzerinde durulmuştur. Dilin kurallarını ezberletmek yerine, bunların nerede ve nasıl kullanıldıkları anlatılmaya çalışılmış ve kitap üzerinden çalışan kişiye de kendi kelimeleri ile benzer örnekler üretme şansı verilmeye gayret edilmiştir. Dil öğrenimindeki bir diğer engel ise “kelime bilgisi” olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Öğrencilerin önündeki bu engeli aşmak için kelimeler konulara uygun olarak listelenmiş ve her ünite başında anlamları ile öğrencilere sunularak sözlük kullanma sıkıntısı giderilmeye çabalanmıştır. Aynı ünite içindeki örnek cümlelerde ve alıştırmalarda bu kelimeler kullanılarak ayrıca bir çabaya gerek kalmadan kelimelerin ezberlenmesi için uygun ortam oluşturulmuştur. Yeni bir dil öğrenirken o dilin kültürüne de uyum sağlamak gerekmektedir. Bunun için kitap içerisinde diyaloglara yer verilmiş ve dilbilgisi yapıları gerçek hayattaki kullanımları ile sunulmuştur. Pek çok kitabın aksine; öğrencilerin seviyelerini aşan, sadece detay bilgileri test eden metinler vermek yerine, öğretilen bilgi ile paralel metinler yazılarak öğrencilerin de benzer şekilde kendilerini ifade etmelerine olanak sağlanmıştır. Formüller halinde cümle yapıları ezberletilmemiş, bunun yerine ayrıntılı açıklamalar ve tekrarlar ile ilk bakışta karmaşık görünen konular basitleştirilmiştir. Her yaş grubuna hitap eden örnekler verilmiş ve kitap hem sınıf ortamında hem de bireysel kullanıma uygun hale getirilmiştir. Hepsinden de öte İngilizce öğrenmenin sanılanın aksine zor olmadığı anlatılmaya çalışılmıştır. Kitabı nasıl kullanmalıyız? Unutmayınız ki İngilizce öğrenmek asla kurallar ezberlemek değildir. İnsanlar ana dillerinde konuşurken akıllarından o dilin kurallarını geçirmezler. Dil bir beceridir, asla öğrenilmez; ancak edinilir. Bu nedenle anahtar nokta “tekrar etmek” olarak karşımıza çıkar. Yılmadan aynı cümleleri tekrar tekrar kurunuz. Er ya da geç cümleleriniz bir davranış haline gelecek ve düşünerek kurulan cümleler olmaktan çıkacaktır. Her konu içindeki kelimeleri ezberlediğinizden emin olunuz. Konu anlatımlarını dikkatle inceledikten sonra alıştırmaları çözünüz ve son olarak “kelime bilgisi” kutularında verilen kelimelerden ve tablolardan yararlanarak o konu kapsamında anlatılan yapıya uygun olarak kendi cümlelerinizi kurunuz. Konuları ayrı birer kavram olarak ezberlemek yerine yeni öğrendiklerinizi eskileri ile birlikte kullanmaya gayret gösteriniz ve en önemlisi sonuçları başka insanlar ile paylaşınız. Unutmayınız ki hata yapmadan dil öğrenmek mümkün değildir. Kendimizi ifade edebildiğimiz sürece başarılı iletişim kurabildiğimizi unutmamalıyız. Kitabımızın sizlere faydalı olması dileklerimizle. The amazing adventures of one of the greatest superheroes of all time continue in Spider-Man 2. Two years have passed, and Peter Parker struggles to cope with the demands of life as a college student, a Daily Bugle photographer, and a crime-fighting superhero. But it hasn’t gotten any easier. Condemned by the press, tormented by secrets he can never reveal, forced to give up the girl of his dreams—at times the lonely burden of Spider-Man seems almost too great to bear... And the temptation to give up grows stronger by the hour. Enter the archfiend Doc Ock, armed with a lethal invention powerful enough to destroy half the city. If Spider-Man tries to stop Doc Ock, he’ll be placing the lives of those closest to him in mortal danger. If he doesn’t, it could be the end of the Big Apple. With millions of lives hanging in the balance, high about Manhattan’s glittering skyline, Spider-Man confronts his destiny, his fiercest enemy, and himself.

Cover art by EbookLaunch. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The Republic has fallen. Sith Lords rule the galaxy. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi has lost everything... Everything but hope. Tatooine—a harsh desert world where farmers toil in the heat of two suns while trying to protect themselves and their loved ones from the marauding Tusken Raiders. A backwater planet on the edge of civilized space. And an unlikely place to find a Jedi Master in hiding, or an orphaned infant boy on whose tiny shoulders rests the future of a galaxy. Known to locals only as “Ben,” the bearded and robed offworlder is an enigmatic stranger who keeps to himself, shares nothing of his past, and goes to great pains to remain an outsider. But as tensions escalate between the farmers and a tribe of Sand People led by a ruthless war chief, Ben finds himself drawn into the fight, endangering the very mission that brought him to Tatooine. Ben—Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, hero of the Clone Wars, traitor to the Empire, and protector of the galaxy’s last hope—can no more turn his back on evil than he can reject his Jedi training. And when blood is unjustly spilled, innocent lives threatened, and a ruthless opponent unmasked, Ben has no choice but to call on the wisdom of the Jedi—and the formidable power of the Force—in his never-ending fight for justice. Praise for Kenobi: Star Wars “Buy this book right now.... [This novel] manages to explore the depths of Ben Kenobi but still maintains the aura of mystery around his character.”—Tosche Station “Addictive, engrossing... Wildly entertaining... There are plenty of twists, turns, and surprises.... John Jackson Miller creates a story that reaches new heights.”—Roqoo Depot “Brilliant... This is Star Wars fiction at its absolute best.”—Examiner “Enthralling... Almost impossible to put down.”—Eucantina From the Hardcover edition. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... Bestselling Star Wars veteran James Luceno gives Grand Moff Tarkin the Star Wars: Darth Plagueis treatment, bringing the legendary character from A New Hope to full, fascinating life. He’s the scion of an honorable and revered family. A dedicated soldier and distinguished legislator. Loyal proponent of the Republic and trusted ally of the Jedi Order. Groomed by the ruthless politician and Sith Lord who would be Emperor, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin rises through the Imperial ranks, enforcing his authority ever more mercilessly... And zealously pursuing his destiny as the architect of absolute dominion. Rule through the fear of force rather than force itself, he advises his Emperor. Under Tarkin’s guidance, an ultimate weapon of unparalleled destruction moves ever closer to becoming a terrifying reality. When the so-called Death Star is completed, Tarkin is confident that the galaxy’s lingering pockets of Separatist rebellion will be brought to heel—by intimidation... Or annihilation. Until then, however, insurgency remains a genuine threat. Escalating guerrilla attacks by resistance forces and newfound evidence of a growing Separatist conspiracy are an immediate danger the Empire must meet with swift and brutal action. And to bring down a band of elusive freedom fighters, the Emperor turns to his most formidable agents: Darth Vader, the fearsome new Sith enforcer as remorseless as he is mysterious; and Tarkin—whose tactical cunning and cold-blooded efficiency will pave the way for the Empire’s supremacy... And its enemies’ extinction. Praise for Tarkin “Tarkin tells a compelling tale of mystery while revealing much about a character who has fueled debate among fans since 1977, as well as the oppressive regime he represents. [James] Luceno has proven once again that the villains of Star Wars are as much fun as the good guys.”—New York Daily News “Another home run in the new canon... This is the highest and best distillation of Tarkin stories, old and new, we’ve ever been given.”—Big Shiny Robot “A spectacular novel, with the intrigue, action, and profound characterization we have come to expect from the pen of Luceno... [Tarkin] provides a nuanced, multi-faceted anti-hero who is captivating, ominous, and calculating; in many ways, this is an origin tale of the Empire [and] a fascinating portrait of one of the more popular characters in the Original Trilogy. It may very well be one my favorite Star Wars novels.”—Coffee with Kenobi “A fascinating look at the pathos of one of the galaxy’s most criminally underused characters.”—TheForce.net From the Hardcover edition. The High Heavens are healing after the fall of the Prime Evil. The Angiris Council has recovered the Black Soulstone and now stands vigil over the cursed artifact deep within the glimmering Silver City. Amid these momentous events, Tyrael struggles with his position as the new Aspect of Wisdom, feeling out of place as a mortal among his angelic brethren and doubting his ability to fully embody his role. As he searches within himself and the Heavens for reassurance, he senses the Black Soulstone's grim influence on his home. Where harmony of light and sound once reigned, a mounting discord is threatening to shroud the realm in darkness. Imperius and the other archangels vehemently oppose moving or destroying the crystal, leading Tyrael to put Heaven’s fate in the hands of humankind. Drawing powerful humans to his side from the far ends of Sanctuary, Tyrael reforges the ancient Horadrim and charges the order with an impossible task: to steal the Soulstone from the heart of Heaven. Among the champions entrustedwith this burden are Jacob of Staalbreak, former avatar of Justice and guardian of the angelic blade El'druin; Shanar, a wizard with phenomenal powers; Mikulov, a lithe and reverent monk; Gynvir, a fearless and battle-hardened barbarian; and Zayl, a mysterious necromancer. With time and the forces of both good and evil against them, can these heroes unite as one and complete their perilous mission before Heaven falls to ruin? NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens “Star Wars: Aftermath [reveals] what happened after the events of 1983’s Return of the Jedi. It turns out, there’s more than just the Empire for the good guys to worry about.”—The Hollywood Reporter As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance—now a fledgling New Republic—presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy’s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy’s strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but he’s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders. Meanwhile, on the planet’s surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native world—war weary, ready to reunite with her estranged son, and eager to build a new life in some distant place. But when Norra intercepts Wedge Antilles’s urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesn’t know is just how close the enemy is—or how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be. Determined to preserve the Empire’s power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summit—to consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they haven’t reckoned on Norra and her newfound allies—her technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defector—who are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empire’s oppressive reign once and for all. Praise for Aftermath “The Force is strong with Star Wars: Aftermath.”—Alternative Nation “The Star Wars universe is fresh and new again, and just as rich and mysterious as it always was.”—Den of Geek “[Chuck] Wendig neatly captures the current states of the Empire and Rebel Alliance and does so through flawed, real, and nuanced characters. His writing gets you up close and personal.... Wendig does wonders with dialogue and voice and carving out space for everyone to breathe. Aftermath is a strong foot forward into unexplored territory and puts down just enough foundation that you can start picturing the Resistance and First Order of The Force Awakens taking shape.”—Nerdist “If the opening chapter of the Wendig’s Aftermath trilogy is any indication, the ‘Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ will be every bit as exciting as the movie.”—New York Daily News “A wonderful Star Wars adventure by a gifted author.”—SF Book Reviews From the Hardcover edition. After walking through a portal in the Tower of the Swallow, thus narrowly escaping death, the Witcher girl, Ciri, finds herself in a completely different world. A world of the Elves. She is trapped with no way out. Time does not seem to exist and there are no obvious borders or portals to cross back into her home world. But this is Ciri, the child of prophecy, and she will not be defeated. She knows she must escape to finally rejoin the Witcher, Geralt, and his companions - and also to try to conquer her worst nightmare. Leo Bonhart, the man who chased, wounded and tortured Ciri, is still on her trail. And the world is still at war. “A masterpiece of thriller and mystery! The author did a magnificent job developing characters with a psychological side that is so well described that we feel inside their minds, follow their fears and cheer for their success.

Reacher takes a stroll through a small Wisconsin town and sees a class ring in a pawn shop window: West Point 2005. A tough year to graduate: Iraq, then Afghanistan. The ring is tiny, for a woman, and it has her initials engraved on the inside. Reacher wonders what unlucky circumstance made her give up something she earned over four hard years. He decides to find out. And find the woman. And return her ring. So begins a harrowing journey that takes Reacher through the upper Midwest, from a lowlife bar on the sad side of small town to a dirt-blown crossroads in the middle of nowhere, encountering bikers, cops, crooks, muscle, and a missing persons PI who wears a suit and a tie in the Wyoming wilderness. The deeper Reacher digs, and the more he learns, the more dangerous the terrain becomes. Turns out the ring was just a small link in a far darker chain. Powerful forces are guarding a vast criminal enterprise. Some lines should never be crossed. But then, neither should Reacher. Praise for The Midnight Line “Puts Reacher just where we want him.”—The New York Times Book Review “A gem.”—Chicago Tribune “Compulsively readable.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “[A] multifaceted novel about dealing with the unthinkable... It’s automatic: Reacher gets off a bus, and Child lands on the New York Times bestseller list.”—Booklist “I just read the new Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child.... It is as good as they always are. I read every single one.”—Malcolm Gladwell “The book is very smart... [and] suggests something that has not been visible in the series’ previous entries: a creeping sadness in Reacher’s wanderings that, set here among the vast and empty landscapes of Wyoming, resembles the peculiarly solitary loneliness of the classic American hero. This return to form is also a hint of new ground to be covered.”—Kirkus Reviews. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The incomparable hero of Jack Reacher: Never Go Back takes readers to school in his most explosive novel yet. After eleven straight global #1 bestsellers, discover the thrillers that The New York Times calls “utterly addictive.” Don’t miss a sneak peek of Lee Child’s new novel, The Midnight Line, in the back of the book. It’s 1996, and Reacher is still in the army. In the morning they give him a medal, and in the afternoon they send him back to school. That night he’s off the grid. Out of sight, out of mind. Two other men are in the classroom—an FBI agent and a CIA analyst. Each is a first-rate operator, each is fresh off a big win, and each is wondering what the hell they are doing there. Then they find out: A Jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has received an unexpected visitor—a Saudi courier, seeking safe haven while waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown. A CIA asset, undercover inside the cell, has overheard the courier whisper a chilling message: “The American wants a hundred million dollars.” For what? And who from? Reacher and his two new friends are told to find the American. Reacher recruits the best soldier he has ever worked with: Sergeant Frances Neagley. Their mission heats up in more ways than one, while always keeping their eyes on the prize: If they don’t get their man, the world will suffer an epic act of terrorism. From Langley to Hamburg, Jalalabad to Kiev, Night School moves like a bullet through a treacherous landscape of double crosses, faked identities, and new and terrible enemies, as Reacher maneuvers inside the game and outside the law. Praise for Night School “The prose is crisp and clean, and the fighting is realistic.... This latest installment has all the classic ingredients: a great setting (Hamburg), a good villain, and a mystery that draws you in efficiently, escalates unpredictably, and has a satisfying resolution.”—The New Yorker “Another timely tour de force... The taut thriller is textbook [Lee] Child: fast-paced and topical with a ‘ripped from the headlines’ feel.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune “As gripping as ever.”—The Florida Times-Union Praise for #1 bestselling author Lee Child and his Jack Reacher series “Reacher [is] one of this century’s most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes.”—The Washington Post.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles—the inspiration for the smash hit TNT series—continue their bestselling crime-solving streak, as they pursue a shadowy psychopath keeping secrets and taking lives. “Suspense doesn’t get smarter than this.”—Lee Child Two separate homicides, at different locations, with unrelated victims, have more in common than just being investigated by Boston PD detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles. In both cases, the bodies bear startling wounds—yet the actual cause of death is unknown. It’s a doubly challenging case for the cop and the coroner to be taking on, at a fraught time for both of them. As Jane struggles to save her mother from the crumbling marriage that threatens to bury her, Maura grapples with the imminent death of her own mother—infamous serial killer Amalthea Lank. While Jane tends to her mother, there’s nothing Maura can do for Amalthea, except endure one final battle of wills with the woman whose shadow has haunted her all her life. Though succumbing to cancer, Amalthea hasn’t lost her taste for manipulating her estranged daughter—this time by dangling a cryptic clue about the two bizarre murders Maura and Jane are desperately trying to solve. But whatever the dying convict knows is only a piece of the puzzle. Soon the investigation leads to a secretive young woman who survived a shocking abuse scandal, an independent horror film that may be rooted in reality, and a slew of martyred saints who died cruel and unusual deaths. And just when Rizzoli and Isles think they’ve cornered a devilish predator, the long-buried past rears its head—and threatens to engulf more innocent lives, including their own. Praise for I Know a Secret: A Rizzoli & Isles Novel “Tess Gerritsen brings back Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles to tackle another baffling mystery... Weaving a thriller that slowly unfolds in unexpected ways.... Rizzoli and Isles feel like real people, and readers who are fans of either the book series or the former TV show know there’s an emotional angle to the proceedings and care about everything that happens to the duo.... Gerritsen writes effortlessly, and this is another stellar entry in the series.”—Associated Press “The unforgettable team of Rizzoli and Isles is back working on a chilling and difficult case.... The twists and turns this novel takes will force Gerritsen’s heroines to face difficult emotions and their own biases. As always, Gerritsen is a master storyteller!”—RT Book Reviews “The characters converge in dynamic, diabolical ways and, in doing so, reveal past events that continue to haunt the present day.... Gerritsen continues to surprise with the depth and range of her storytelling ambitions....

In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley’s most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs—a real-life Tony Stark—and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new “makers.” Elon Musk spotlights the technology and vision of Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, who sold one of his Internet companies, PayPal, for $1.5 billion. Ashlee Vance captures the full spectacle and arc of the genius’s life and work, from his tumultuous upbringing in South Africa and flight to the United States to his dramatic technical innovations and entrepreneurial pursuits. Vance uses Musk’s story to explore one of the pressing questions of our age: can the nation of inventors and creators who led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition? He argues that Musk—one of the most unusual and striking figures in American business history—is a contemporary, visionary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. More than any other entrepreneur today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far-reaching as the visionaries of the golden age of science-fiction fantasy. Thorough and insightful, Elon Musk brings to life a technology industry that is rapidly and dramatically changing by examining the life of one of its most powerful and influential titans. A New York Times bestseller Named one of The Economist’s Books of the Year 2014 Named one of The Wall Street Journal’s Top Ten Best Nonfiction Books of 2014 Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Books of 2014 Forbes’s Most Memorable Healthcare Book of 2014 Named a Best Food Book of 2014 by Mother Jones Named one of Library Journal's Best Books of 2014 In The Big Fat Surprise, investigative journalist Nina Teicholz reveals the unthinkable: that everything we thought we knew about dietary fat is wrong. She documents how the low-fat nutrition advice of the past sixty years has amounted to a vast uncontrolled experiment on the entire population, with disastrous consequences for our health. For decades, we have been told that the best possible diet involves cutting back on fat, especially saturated fat, and that if we are not getting healthier or thinner it must be because we are not trying hard enough. But what if the low-fat diet is itself the problem? What if the very foods we’ve been denying ourselves—the creamy cheeses, the sizzling steaks—are themselves the key to reversing the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease? In this captivating, vibrant, and convincing narrative, based on a nine-year-long investigation, Teicholz shows how the misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community and the public imagination, and how recent findings have overturned these beliefs. She explains why the Mediterranean Diet is not the healthiest, and how we might be replacing trans fats with something even worse. This startling history demonstrates how nutrition science has gotten it so wrong: how overzealous researchers, through a combination of ego, bias, and premature institutional consensus, have allowed dangerous misrepresentations to become dietary dogma. With eye-opening scientific rigor, The Big Fat Surprise upends the conventional wisdom about all fats with the groundbreaking claim that more, not less, dietary fat—including saturated fat—is what leads to better health and wellness. Science shows that we have been needlessly avoiding meat, cheese, whole milk, and eggs for decades and that we can now, guilt-free, welcome these delicious foods back into our lives.

'When Yalom publishes something - anything - I buy it, and he never disappoints. He's an amazing storyteller, a gorgeous writer, a great, generous, compassionate thinker, and - quite rightly - one of the world's most influential mental healthcare practitioners' Nicola Barker, Guardian Best Books of 2017 'Wonderful, compelling and as insightful about its subject and about the times he lived in as you could hope for. A fabulous read' Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone Irvin D. Yalom has made a career of investigating the lives of others. In Becoming Myself, his long-awaited memoir, he turns his therapeutic eye on himself, delving into the relationships that shaped him and the groundbreaking work that made him famous. The first-generation child of immigrant Russian Jews, Yalom grew up in a lower-class neighbourhood in Washington DC. Determined to escape its confines, he set his sights on becoming a doctor. An incredible ascent followed: we witness his start at Stanford Medical School amid the cultural upheavals of the 1960s, his turn to writing fiction as a means of furthering his exploration of the human psyche and his rise to international prominence. Yalom recounts his revolutionary work in group psychotherapy and how he became the foremost practitioner of existential psychotherapy, a method that draws on the wisdom of great thinkers over the ages. He reveals the inspiration for his many seminal books, including Love's Executioner and When Nietzche Wept, which meld psychology and philosophy to arrive at arresting new insights into the human condition. Interweaving the stories of his most memorable patients with personal tales of love and regret, Becoming Myself brings readers close to Yalom's therapeutic technique, his writing process and his family life.

They might make the same peak horsepower, but the k series will spool earlier and have a superior powerband. So you might have that turbo b series and both the k and b are making 400 whp, but the k will make 300 @ 4500 while the b series is making 200. Also a k series is boost ready to an easy 15 lbs of boost while the b series is absolutely going to need arp head studs (and subsequently a new head gasket) to do 15 lbs. If you want to make him mad, tell him, 'Oh you're a real honda guy because your engine is cheap as hell? Yep, makes tons of sense.' Here's a bit of perspective for you all - before I owned my '08 FG2, I came from a DC2 GSR(B18C1) with complete ITR valvetrain(cams, dual valve springs & retainers), ITR tranny with LSD, aftermarket clutch and 7lb flywheel, Apexi WS2 exhaust, DC header/intake and a Skunk2 test pipe.and I can't honestly state that it is any faster than my bone stock FG2. The K20 just feels like it gets through the gears faster, bigger displacement(= more torque), and is much more easier to drive in terms of mid range power. I took pride in my GSR, but I was amazed at how effortlessly(relatively speaking) the K series motors progress through their powerband. This Pin was discovered by Angel AkKi.

In a cover story for the New York Times Magazine, Herbert Muschamp wrote of it, 'The word is out that miracles still occur', while Sverre Fehn, winner of the 1997 Pritzker Architecture Prize (Gehry received the award in 1989), stated, 'This building is fantastic'. This book celebrates the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and details the design process that is an intrinsic part of Gehry's revolutionary approach to architecture. Gehry's use of nontraditional materials and his sensitivity to the environments of his buildings are legendary; his method of envisioning a building through semiautomatic drawings and handmade models is little known but provides an immediate entry into his creative process. Here, stunning color photographs of the building and reproductions of Gehry's drawings and models bring to life his greatest achievement to date. Art historian and artist Coosje Van Bruggen, who has collaborated with Gehry on various architectural and art projects, documents the history of the Guggenheim Bilbao from conception through design and construction. With unique access to the architect and his studio, she has uncovered scores of fascinating drawings and working photographs, which are published here for the first time. For at least half a decade now, New York's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum has been digitizing its exhibition catalogs and other art books.

But if you decide to design your own ebook cover, there are some important things you need to take into consideration. This isn’t just a topic of vanity and of having a “professional looking cover”, though. It’s a truly important part of They say everyone has a book in them. The moment of completion brings a mix of immense satisfaction and a confused, horrified reality: “How on earth am I going to publish it?”. A micro-second glance at your cover may be the only opportunity you have to persuade a potential reader to find out more. Moreover, there’s no arguing with the fact that books are judged by their covers. A shoddy cover suggests shoddy content, even when that content may be the best content in the world. You need to just browse the many free titles on Amazon to see what I mean. So, if you, The web has revolutionized book publishing and promotion and made it within reach of anyone with an idea. There are numerous instances where a greenhorn has made a pretty bundle by offering books for the., are going to dive into the deep end and rustle up your own ebook cover, here are a few things you need to take into account. Ebook And Print Book Covers Are Different This morning I was cordially informed by GoodReads (read our I am digital marketer who works in traditional publishing, and I am also a writer. And though I am not self-published, I have two words for those who are: Goodreads STAT.) that one of my friends had recently read the four books above. “Interesting”, I thought. Only I had not the faintest idea what the three on the right were, nor whether I would be even loosely interested in reading them myself. Unless I strained my eyes to try and read the title. Or strained my brain trying to decipher what the images were all about. On the other hand, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes cover immediately peaked my curiosity. It’s been a book I’ve wanted to read for a long while, and knowing one of my friends has read some of Sir Arthur’s work prompted me to click through to the GoodReads page and 5 minutes later, to download the book to my Kindle. All because I received some sort of insight into the book simply from its cover. It may be the case that the Sherlock Holmes cover was never designed as an ebook, but its design features make it way more suited to the thumbnail-style screen space that the major retailers will give to your own cover. This is an important lesson in realising the importance of ensuring your ebook cover is designed with this in mind — to ensure it peaks curiosity, and gives the right amount of information, without anyone needing the click through to any other page.

Browse the portfolios of top book cover designers such as, who designed the covers above. Open up the Amazon bestseller page for the category you’ll be publishing to, and see what works over there. Make a list of the features you like, or the features that seem to make books in your category more popular, and keep all of this in mind when designing your own cover. Take into account things like image style, colouring, typography, negative space, the information on the cover etc. Don’t forget to study the covers that just don’t grab your attention too. You’ll be able to learn a lot about what not to do. Make Sure The Cover Is The Right Size Image Credit: (Book Cover for Closure) There are arguably three different things you need to take into account here. Aspect ratio (dimensions are almost always in pixels), file size, and resolution. It can get pretty complicated, but you can find detailed walkthroughs on and, which I’d highly recommend. You should also check relevant publishing sites etc to ensure this information is up to date. Each site/e-reader has its own preferences (which change pretty much every year). So, you will need to have different versions of your cover optimised for each of these platforms, and also ensure you update your covers when needed to make sure they still look the part both on-screen and in search results. For this, make sure to retain a master copy of the original file so it can easily be edited in future. For more technical specifications, this is a very brief overview, but to see a more detailed breakdown. ![]() Due to Amazon’s new large size recommendations (as of June 2014) you will have to make the cover wider than 2820 pixels. For a 6 x 9 proportion that could mean 3200 x 4800 pixels, unless you decide to go with the skinnier look and use their recommended 2820 x 4500. Do check the top-selling and newly added ebooks on Amazon though – you will see most authors prefer the slightly wider 6 x 9 (1:1.5) size, and your book may look odd if you make it thinner. From there you can downsize the cover to 1600 x 2400 pixels to be uploaded at Barnes & Noble and other platforms that still require smaller file sizes. For B&N especially you have to make sure the file is less than 2 MB. However, they may soon follow in the footsteps of Amazon. Start off with a resolution of 300 dpi or bigger to accommodate possible print versions of the book, then downsize to 72 dpi if need be. – Use The Right Images When it comes to using the right images (if you choose to use an image at all) for your ebook cover, there are a number of points to consider. If you want to add a visual component to your e-Book, then you can create a simple 3D cover image. Creating a cover (or e-Book image) is completely optional, but recommended for best conversions and success. I have seen many online e-Book sellers who market their e-Books without a cover image, but most professionals these days use 3d image (even if it’s a free eBook that they give away). Other sellers will use very professional looking cover images to market their e-Book. Whether you decide to create a cover or not, just keep this in mind: It would be better to have no cover, than to have an ugly, unprofessional looking cover. If your cover design looks bad, it will probably say to the customer, “This e-Book cover is bad, and so is the content-don’t buy it. We’re newbies.” Also, if you are going to sell your eBook with companies such as Clickbank, Amazon (Kindle), Createspace.com, Lulu.com, or any other company, I would indeed recommend creating a cover. To create a cover, you will need to use a graphic design or image editing software program. There are various programs you can use to do this. Here are some programs you can use: Adobe Photoshop, Corel Pain Shop, Microsoft Paint, and Gimp. Adobe Photoshop is probably the best software you can use, however, it is also the most expensive & complicated to learn. You can download a free trial of Photoshop at adobe.com. Corel Paint Shop Pro is another great software package you can use to create a cover image. It is less expensive, and you can also download a free trial by going to corel.com. Microsoft Paint and Gimp are both free programs, however, Gimp is a much better program. You can also create a cover image with this software. You can download and use Gimp. This program is great & I have used it frequently. In fact, this entire tutorial will be using Gimp, and to get your own copy or to find out more, then download the great free photo editing software. Now, I will go into a detailed tutorial on how you can create a simple, attractive e-Book cover design. I will use Gimp for this tutorial since it is available as a free download, however, if you use another software program the process will be very similar. If you are going to use Gimp, go ahead & install it on your machine when you are ready to create your cover. Before you start to create your image, you should think about the title, the colors you want to use, and any other design aspects you need to consider. It is a good idea to browse online for a few minutes & study e-Book designs that you like. Try to see what they have done, how they have placed shadows & reflections. This is a great way to gather ideas for your own design. Also, you may want to sketch a rough design on paper before you use the software. When you are ready, you can begin to create your cover. Also, let me briefly mention that I have a great online guide that covers the following information:, how to,, as well as the. You may be interested in those subjects as well. The process of designing an eBook cover usually needs to be completed in this order: Insert the background color or image (preferably with a slight gradient), add any borders, insert any images, and then write the text. Next, you will create the side of the e-Book, distort the image to make it look 3-D, draw the remaining portion of the e-Book, create a shadow, and finally create a reflection or shadow to give the appearance of a true 3-D image (optional). Page Contents: • • • • • • How to Create eBook Covers Using Gimp: Tutorial First, open up the Gimp software. Go to File–> New. You will then see a small box display that asks you the image size. For the cover, select about 800 width X 600 height. This should be enough room to create your image. Next, select the rectangle select tool in the upper right hand corner & draw a rectangle in the picture. This will be the front cover. Now, at this point you should think about the basic background color that you want to use for your e-Book. For this example, I am going to use a simple maroon background. Also, to create a shadow effect, I am going to use a gradient to fill the background. To do this, I first select a gradient color. I will use maroon as my foreground, and white as my background. Then, I select the gradient fill button and click inside of the rectangle that I have already drawn & drag the line & release. Then it will show the color inside. You may want to drag the cursor a few times at a diagonal angle until you get a nice white glare in the upper left hand corner as you see below. Now that I have the basic background color drawn, I will insert a small white line down the far left-hand side of the background from top to bottom. This makes for a nice glare effect for the edge. To do this, I select the paint brush. Then, I select a small line, and select the color white as the foreground color. Then, I click the left mouse button in the lower left-hand corner where I want to start my line & I release the mouse button. Then, I hit shift to see the line function. To draw the line, stretch it all the way to the top & then click the mouse to draw the line. Now I have a faint white line down the entire left side of the background. Next, I want to make a basic yellow border around the top of the e-Book to give the appearance of a trim border. Again, I will select the paint brush as before, change my color to yellow, use the shift key to draw a straight line, and then click the mouse to draw it from the top left to the top right as pictured below. I will then draw another yellow stripe on the bottom of the book using the exact same method as described above. At this point, the e-Book is starting to take shape, but it could use an image or two. Since I am making this e-Book up just to show you how to create one, I will pretend this is going to be an e-Book about vines. Since it is going to be about vines, I will try to incorporate an image that relates to vines. Remember, you do not necessarily need an image. I am just doing this to show you a few things with the software. It is very possible to create a dazzling looking cover graphic using only Gimp & no images at all. For the image, I am going to use Gimp’s built-in paint brush with the special vine tip. To use this, I simply select the paint brush tool from the menu, and then I click the brush button at the bottom. Then I size the vine brush using the scale. After that, I simply click the mouse button on the e-Book cover where I would like for the vine to be shown. This is super simple & only takes a couple of seconds as pictured below. Adding Logos or Paintbrush effects to eBooks Using Gimp You can also use this same technique with any picture you want. If you want to use another picture, you simply open up a new picture by clicking New–> Open as layer –> and then open the picture you want to insert on your graphic. You can delete any portion you want, and add neat effects to your images. At this point, I have created a simple background, added a nice trim look with yellow, and inserted the vine image with the paint brush. Now, I am finished with the graphics & I would like to add my title. To do this, I will simply click on the A symbol to write text. Then I will choose the color, font size, and style. For the main title, I will use white text, 39 font, and Sans Serif type. For the subtitle at the bottom, I will use yellow font (size 24) with staccato222 BT font style. I simple click on the part where I would like the words to appear, and then type them in the box as pictured below. How to Add Titles and Text to eBook Cover with Gimp Now I am going to flatten the image. This simply compresses all of the different layers that have been used (text, vine, & background) into one simple image. To do this, you go to the top menu & select Image–> Flatten Image. Let me just stop right here & tell you that this could be used as an e-Book graphic. Most online bookstores (such as Amazon.com) use simple one dimensional images to represent books. You could use this image in a similar way. If you want to stop here & use this image, just go to File–>Save As and save the image in a location where you can easily find it (and in a format such as.bmp,.jpeg., or.png. For this tutorial, however, I will keep going to show you how you can create the nice 3-D look. Now the front cover is completely finished. So what I need to do is create the 3-D look. First, I will use the perspective tool to change the shape of the front cover. I will do this by selecting the perspective tool, and then clicking on the e-Book image. This will select the image, and I can then click on the four corners & drag the image with my mouse. Try to drag it so that it is slightly bent upwards toward the upper right as shown below. When you are finished hit “transform.” Changing Perspective and Skewing in Gimp When you have finished changing the structure of the picture, you can create the side image. To do this, I will use the rectangle select tool that I used at the beginning to draw the background. This time, however, I will draw a much smaller size. I will then use the gradient fill tool just like I did earlier when I created the maroon background. Make sure to have the lighter side facing the front cover. Next, I will add the yellow lines on the top & bottom as pictured below. Making eBook Covers 3-D with Gimp Now I will add some text to the side bar. This is also optional, and the e-Book will look fine without the extra text. To do this, simply select the text button just like earlier. Then select the font size, color, and style. When you are ready, type out the text you want to appear. The text will be in a horizontal position, but it needs to be vertical so it can fit inside the long rectangle. To fix this, select the side bar first & use the rotate & move button to move it away & rotate it on its side. Then use the text button to write your message as shown below. When you have finished writing your text in the sidebar, go to the menu & select Image–>Flatten Image. This will then compress your work thus far. Then, use the rectangle selector tool to draw an outline around the side bar. Then click the rotate button on the side menu, and rotate the bar to its normal vertical position. Next, we will want to skew the side bar using the perspective tool. Do this by selecting the perspective tool, and then dragging the side bar until it is in a position where the upper left corner is up higher than the right corner and the lower left corner is higher than the lower right corner as pictured below. When you have got it in a good position, click the transform button. Okay, after that you can move on. Okay, at this point we have created a nice eBook cover thus far, however, there is still work to be done. Again, this is great to do if you plan on selling your eBook on eBay.com, Createspace.com, Lulu.com, Amazon.com (Kindle), Clickbank.net, or your own website. Also, if you haven’t yet downloaded the free graphics software I am using to do this, make sure to check that out. Okay, back to the tutorial. The next thing you need to do at this point is select the “move” tool from the sidebar & carefully move the sidebar until it is right up against the front cover. It should really start to look like a 3-D e-Book now as pictured below. Adding Reflections or Shadows to eBook Designs with Gimp If you need to adjust your image, just reselect it & use the perspective tool until it looks the way you want it to look. You may have to work with it for a couple of minutes to get it to match up & look correct. This is what it should look like after you move the sidebar up to the front cover: Now it is really starting to look like an e-Book. It is now time to put the finishing touches on your cover. Let’s start by drawing the top portion of the e-Book. First, select the yellow paint brush again & draw a line from the end of the yellow on the sidebar towards the front cover as shown below. Don’t forget about using the shift key to draw a line. Then, simply draw another line (slightly smaller) using either a light black or gray color from the end of the yellow line to the other yellow line. This will create the look of pages. You can then go back and draw a few very light lines going across the top to give the appearance of pages. You can finish the image by adding a small triangle of gray to give the illusion of a shadow. The picture below shows the small shadow I drew in & the finished e-Book. Of course, this is a very simple shadow, and you could use a gradient to make it a little more realistic. How to Make a Reflection Under Your eBook or Boxshot Cover If you would rather make a reflection under the e-Book instead of the gray shadow, you can do that as well. It will probably take you a few more minutes to do this. Here is how you make a reflection. First go to the top menu & select Layer–> Duplicate layer. This will add a new layer over the old layer of the exact same image. Next, select the perspective tool & then click on the image. Then select the corners of the perspective tool & move them towards the center of the picture to make the image smaller. You should begin to see the other layer behind it as shown below. Keep working with the image until it is upside down, and just below the original image as shown below. Also, it helps to first outline the cover image with the select rectangle tool first, then use the perspective. That way, you can reduce the amount of white space around the image. When you have positioned the image, click the transform button. Now, I don’t want the entire reflection to show up. Therefore I will use the eraser tool, and erase about half of the lower image. So now, the image is cut off around the vine image on the lower e-Book cover. Then I will make the image more transparent, so that it looks more like an actual reflection. To do this I will use the layer box as pictured below. If the layer box is not already open, you can open it by going to the top menu & selecting Dialogs–> Layers. This will then open the layer box. After it is opened, I select the layer that says “background copy.” This represents the small image we manipulated under the real cover. Now, I will simply click on the “Opacity” bar and move it left until the image is barely visible. This makes it look just like a reflection as seen below: Make eBook Reflection Translucent with Gimp After you have created your e-Book image, you are ready to save it. I would make a few backup copies as well. Also, save it in a few different formats so you can see which format has the lowest file size without compromising the quality of the image. Simply go to File–> Save As. Finished eBook Cover Design Using Gimp Remember, if you have a lot of white space behind the e-Book, it will also save this space in the image. Therefore, you may want to open a new layer & copy only the image with no white space behind it. Or, you can simply open up Microsoft Paint & use the selector tool to drag it & remove the excess space behind it & re-save the image. You’re finished! That wasn’t so bad was it? It only took about 30 minutes to complete the cover. If you are unfamiliar with the software, or you want to use more sophisticated features, it may take longer. This is really a great software package & you can create very professional looking e-Book covers with it. There is no need to spend hundreds on other software packages or design services when this is available on the internet as a free download. Also, just remember that you do not necessarily need a cover image. I just feel it does add quality to your e-Book & sales page. You don’t have to make it as sophisticated as the one I made, and if you want to spend even more time you can make it even better than the one I made by adding your own images! Either way, now you know how to easily create you own e-Book cover images for free! Also, if you appreciate this tutorial, please let others know about it. ![]() Hand To Hand Combat Here you will find list of Hand To Hand Combat free ebooks online for read and download.

This crazy messed up world of gods and monsters is Percy Jackson's reality, which pretty much sucks for him. Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, God of the Sea, has woken from a very deep sleep and come face to face with two snake-haired ladies who refuse to die. But they're the least of his problems. Because Percy finds himself at a camp for half-bloods, which doesn't ring any bells for him. There's just one name he remembers from his past. Only one thing is certain - Percy's questing days aren't over. He and fellow demigods Frank and Hazel must face the most important quest of all: the Prophecy of Seven.If they fail, it's not just their camp at risk. Percy's old life, the gods, and the entire world might be destroyed...

When he awoke after his long sleep, he didn't know much more than his name. His brain-fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa told him he is a demigod and trained him to fight. Somehow Percy manages to make it to the camp for half-bloods, despite the fact that he had to continually kill monsters that, annoyingly, would not stay dead. But the camp doesn't ring any bells with him. Hazel is supposed to be dead. When she lived before, she didn't do a very good job of it. When the Voice took over her mother and commanded Hazel to use her 'gift' for an evil purpose, Hazel couldn't say no. Now, because of her mistake, the future of the world is at risk. Frank is a klutz. His grandmother claims he is descended from ancient heroes and can be anything he wants to be, but he doesn't see it. He doesn't even know who his father is. He keeps hoping Apollo will claim him, because the only thing he is good at is archery-although not good enough to help the Fifth Cohort win at war games. His big and bulky physique makes him feel like a clumsy ox, especially in front of Hazel, his closest friend at camp. He trusts her completely-enough, even, to share the secret he holds close to his heart. Featuring a faithful adaptation by Robert Venditti, and incredible artwork by Antoine Dod and Orpheus Collar, Rick Riordan's blockbuster book comes to life in The Son of Neptune, The Graphic Novel.

ISBN:| 2005| EPUB| 688 Pages| 42 MB Learning a complex new language is no easy task especially when it s an object-oriented computer programming language like Java. You might think the problem is your brain. It seems to have a mind of its own, a mind that doesn't always want to take in the dry, technical stuff you're forced to study. The fact is your brain craves novelty. It's constantly searching, scanning, waiting for something unusual to happen. After all, that's the way it was built to help you stay alive. It takes all the routine, ordinary, dull stuff and filters it to the background so it won't interfere with your brain's real work-recording things that matter. How does your brain know what matters? It's like the creators of the Head First approach say, suppose you're out for a hike and a tiger jumps in front of you, what happens in your brain? Neurons fire. Emotions crank up. Chemicals surge. That's how your brain knows. And that's how your brain will learn Java. Head First Java combines puzzles, strong visuals, mysteries, and soul-searching interviews with famous Java objects to engage you in many different ways. It's fast, it's fun, and it's effective. And, despite its playful appearance, Head First Java is serious stuff: a complete introduction to object-oriented programming and Java. You'll learn everything from the fundamentals to advanced topics, including threads, network sockets, and distributed programming with RMI. Second edition focuses on Java 5.0, the latest version of the Java language and development platform. Because Java 5.0 is a major update to the platform, with deep, code-level changes, even more careful study and implementation is required. So learning the Head First way is more important than ever. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect-a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. You'll see why people say it's unlike any other Java book you've ever read. By exploiting how your brain works, Head First Java compresses the time it takes to learn and retain-complex information. Its unique approach not only shows you what you need to know about Java syntax, it teaches you to think like a Java programmer. If you want to be bored, buy some other book. But if you want to understand Java, this book's for you. |
