An A-Z of Hellraisers - Robert Sellers - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

An A-Z of Hellraisers - Robert Sellers - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

An A-Z of Hellraisers is the last word on inebriated misbehaviour, and the miscreant mob in this whopper of a book constitute the most amazing grouping to see print: from Alexander the Great, whose drunken revelries once ended with the destruction of an entire city; to W. C. Fields, who passed critical judgement on a brass band by urinating over them from a hotel balcony; Dylan Thomas, who drove a sports car onto Charlie Chaplin''s private tennis court; to Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, suffocating on his own vomit after consuming forty measures of vodka - what a night out that was!This hilarious volume makes for an ideal bedside companion or pub reading fodder, as it scrutinises and salutes these glorious individuals, from Winston Churchill to Keith Moon, George Best to Ernest Hemingway, Wild Bill Hickok to Sam Peckinpah, Ozzy Osbourne to Errol Flynn. Just thank God we didn''t have to live next door to any of them.

The Craze - Paul Southern - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

The Craze - Paul Southern - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

C was for cars which he''d nicked and crashed, R was for robbery, armed and fast, A was for arson, fire and theft, Z was for the cuts his switchblade left, E was for drugs, the Whizz and Horse, which just left murder, the hardest, of course. She was found on the tracks: burned up, tongue cut out, a finger removed. Who was she? 24 hours earlier Shazia Ahmed was leaving Manchester, but a chance meeting and a phone call and she finds herself in the underworld where life is cheap and usually very short. Jamie Farrell already knows this truth: that the drugs and crime will tip over into murder. His father''s in Strangeways and he''ll be joining him. But he can''t give up the deadly game that is The Craze. Dru Round thought his big day had come: no more cheap drag acts and furtive sex in the backs of cars. A new dawn of TV fame beckoned. But he just needed that extra score to make things work for him-Three lives - one crime - the Craze.

Scarcely English - Simon Heffer - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Scarcely English - Simon Heffer - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

The English language has evolved throughout its history, and usually for good reasons. However, in recent years, egged on by social media and the ubiquity and velocity of the internet, it has been subject to some grave assaults. There appear no longer to be any rules, in an era when, thanks to the web (another word to have changed its meaning) everyone can be a published author, completely unedited and unregulated. This often has dire consequences for the English tongue.Simon Heffer''s A to Z runs though a whole litany of common confusions (''flaunt'' and ''flout'', ''imply'' and ''infer'', ''uninterested'' and ''disinterested''), unidiomatic English (''fed up of'', ''focus around'', the use of ''impacted'' in such construction as ''the loss impacted him badly''), and lazy expressions (these days every extended activity is an ''-athon'', every scandal is a ''Something-gate''). It bemoans some truly awful neologisms, ''infotainment'' and ''funwashing'' among them. And it registers the horror of those of us who do not believe that you can answer the question ''How are you?'' with the words ''I''m good''.Trenchant and sprinkled with dry wit, Scarcely English is both a chamber of horrors of bad and lazy English and a plea for accuracy, clear thinking and elegance.

A Trick Of The Mind - Daniel Yon - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

A Trick Of The Mind - Daniel Yon - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

'With captivating storytelling and cutting-edge science, neuroscientist Daniel Yon explores the power and the perils of the brain's internal models, offering a provocative look at the hidden forces shaping our thoughts, beliefs, and even our sanity. Prepare to question everything you thought you knew' Daniel Z. Lieberman, author of The Molecule of More'This book will profoundly change the way you consider your own mind' Lewis Dartnell, bestselling author of The Knowledge, Origins and Being Human'You will not a find a more up-to-date or more compelling account of how a mind emerges from the brain' Chris Frith, Emeritus Professor of Neuropsychology at University College London'An engaging, informative, and genuinely entertaining guide to the many weird ways in which our brains create the world we live in' Dean Burnett, author of The Idiot BrainHow does your brain decide what it’s seeing, from the physical world to other people? For decades, scientists have tried to understand how our brains work, not realising that the answer lies much closer to home than it seems. The latest research in neuroscience and psychology suggests that the brain is doing the same thing that the scientists are: using past experiences to build theories of how the world works, and using these models to predict and make sense of it. Through this process, your brain constructs the reality that you live in. In this book Daniel Yon takes the research one step further, uncovering how your brain colours your perception of the world, the judgements you make about other people and the beliefs you form about yourself. With transformative applications for how we engage with other communities and approach mental illness, A Trick of The Mind will revolutionise the way you think.

Great by Choice - Jim Collins - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Great by Choice - Jim Collins - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

THE NEW QUESTIONTen years after the worldwide bestseller Good to Great , Jim Collins returns with another groundbreaking work, this time to ask: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? Based on nine years of research, buttressed by rigorous analysis and infused with engaging stories, Collins and his colleague, Morten Hansen, enumerate the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous, and fast-moving times.THE NEW STUDY Great by Choice distinguishes itself from Collins''s prior work by its focus not just on performance, but also on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today. With a team of more than twenty researchers, Collins and Hansen studied companies that rose to greatness - beating their industry indexes by a minimum of ten times over fifteen years - in environments characterized by big forces and rapid shifts that leaders could not predict or control. The research team then contrasted these "10X companies" to a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to achieve greatness in similarly extreme environments.THE NEW FINDINGSThe study results were full of provocative surprises. Such as: * The best leaders were not more risk taking, more visionary, and more creative than the comparisons; they were more disciplined, more empirical, and more paranoid.* Innovation by itself turns out not to be the trump card in a chaotic and uncertain world; more important is the ability to scale innovation, to blend creativity with discipline.* Following the belief that leading in a "fast world" always requires "fast decisions" and "fast action" is a good way to get killed.* The great companies changed less in reaction to a radically changing world than the comparison companies.The authors challenge conventional wisdom with thought-provoking, sticky, and supremely practical concepts. They include 10Xers ; the 20 Mile March ; Fire Bullets then Cannonballs ; Leading above the Death Line ; Z oom Out, Then Zoom In ; and the SMaC Recipe . Finally, in the last chapter, Collins and Hansen present their most provocative and original analysis: defining, quantifying, and studying the role of luck. The great companies and the leaders who built them were not luckier than the comparisons, but they did get a higher Return on Luck . This book is classic Collins: contrarian, data driven, and uplifting. He and Hansen show convincingly that, even in a chaotic and uncertain world, greatness happens by choice, not by chance.

Devolution - Max Brooks - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Devolution - Max Brooks - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WORLD WAR Z ''TRUE TERROR'' Guardian '' NAIL CHOMPING SUSPENSE '' Total Film ______________________________________ As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier''s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now.But the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town''s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten.In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate''s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the beasts behind it, once thought legendary but now known to be terrifyingly real.Kate''s is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity''s defiance in the face of a terrible predator''s gaze, and inevitably, of savagery and death.Yet it is also far more than that.Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us - and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity.Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it - and like none you''ve ever read before. ______________________________________ ''Unputdownable'' John Marrs, bestselling author of The One ''A bloody good read'' Andrew Hunter-Murray, bestselling author of The Last Day ''A masterful blend of laugh-out-loud social satire and stuff-your-fist-in-your-mouth horror. One elevates the other, making the book, and its message, all the more relevant.'' David Sedaris ''For any fan of Bigfoot or cryptozoology, it''s a referential treat.'' Guardian ''Dark, gripping and visceral, Devolution is a unique journey into terror.'' Waterstones ''Another triumph from Max Brooks! . . . I can''t wait until he turns every monster from childhood into an intelligent, entertaining page-turner'' Stephen Chbosky, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Imaginary Friend and The Perks of Being a Wallflower ''Drawing you in with likeable characters in a real-world situation, then smashing your trust to pieces like a giant ape crushing a skull with his bare hands. Devolution will make you think twice about booking that remote weekend getaway in the woods.'' Sci-Fi Now , 5* review ''Max Brooks has written the next great epistolary novel. Devolution is phenomenal'' Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box ''One of the greatest horror novels I''ve ever read. The characters soar, the ideas sing, and it''s all going to scare the living daylights out of you'' Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter ''Grisly page-turner . . . Brooks'' eye for rich characterisation, pointed social commentary and nail-chomping suspense is as sharp as ever'' Total Film ''Delightful . . . A tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy'' Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ''Timely, terrifying, and utterly terrific.'' SFX Magazine *****
