The whole history of human settlement lay exposed there, under that big northern sky. There was nowhere here for bones to hide. On Craig Island, a vast landscape of ice north of the Arctic Circle, three travellers are hunting duck.
Among them is expert Inuit hunter and guide, Edie Kiglatuk; a woman born of this harsh, beautiful terrain. The two men are tourists, experiencing Arctic life in the raw, but when one of the men is shot dead in mysterious circumstances, the local Council of Elders in the tiny settlement of Autisaq is keen to dismiss it as an accident. Then two adventurers arrive in Autisaq hoping to search for the remains of the legendary Victorian explorer Sir James Fairfax.
The men hire Edie - whose ancestor Welatok guided Fairfax - along with Edie's stepson Joe, and two parties set off in different directions. Four days later, Joe returns to Autisaq frostbitten, hypothermic and disoriented, to report his man missing. And when things take an even darker turn, Edie finds herself heartbroken, and facing the greatest challenge of her life .
. . `A blazing star of a thriller: vivid, tightly-sprung, and satisfying on all levels.
Encountering Edie Kiglatuk, the toughest, smartest Arctic heroine since Miss Smilla, left me with that rare feeling of privilege you get on meeting extraordinary people in real life. A huge achievement' Liz Jensen, author of The Rapture 'Edie is an ingenious and original creation but the most addictive character is the Arctic itself' Sunday Telegraph

Описание: The context of business has changed rapidly over the past few decades. At the very least, it`s time to challenge some of the established thinking about strategy and competition that used to drive business advantage - but no longer does. The author takes on one of most fundamental notions in strategy: that of sustainable competitive advantage.

Описание: The winner of more awards than any editorial writer in the Albany Times Union's history, Jim McGrath was both an Albany institution and a keen observer of the world beyond his beloved adopted city. When he died in 2013 at the age of fifty-six, the newspaper lost a writer who combined a passionate advocacy for society's most vulnerable people with a scathing disregard for the elite whose actions created an underclass in the United States. His writing was often elegiac, but his take on his adopted home state of New York and his beloved Albany was variously bemused, witty, irreverent, and indignant. He could relate to the plight of the minimum-wage worker as easily as he could talk to a US senator, and he feared no one. His editorials and commentaries charted many of the most critical issues in New York and the country: the death penalty, civil liberties, gay rights, historic presidential campaigns, the economy, terrorism, and more--all with an incisiveness that remains relevant, if not more so, in the present political era. In addition to his editorials and op-eds, I'll Be Home contains essays, critiques, and other writings that have never before been published, as well as appraisals of his work and life by former colleagues Rex Smith, Fred LeBrun, Dan Lynch, and others. The book is both a tribute to a memorable newspaperman and an insider's perspective on politics and life through the lens of an editorial writer, a position that Jim described as "a great seat at a really weird show."

Описание: This work emerged out of an intention to discern the primal wounding that left our human species so vulnerable to our own destruction. It presents some unique theories about the developmental path of our species that, when brought into the present light of discernment, hold the potential to resolve their own healing in our common human consciousness.

Описание: "A rollicking, raucous, new myth, a classic..."
A lyrical exploration of how a bully comes into being.
"'Why didn't I get a Barbie Dreamhouse for Christmas?' So asks Mina immediately after wondering if she's a racist because she's white too. Priorities, place and position move our hero from well-meaning child to disconcerted bully, borne by a fear of impotence in the world as she tests her own privileged, small power over others. Out From the Pleiades is a rich romp, chockfull of feel-good details and enough unanswered questions to make anyone secure in their moral center come, a tiny bit, undone. Ride in Mina's 'yolk-colored Subaru' as she toes the surfaces of high school, passing through the stoic suicide of 'Ginger, ' until our war protestor comes full circle to the uncharted depths of 'Yes' in soldier Violet's golden eyes - and discovers the harsher power of love's undoing."
-Amy King, poet, I Want to Make You Safe and Slaves To Do These Things
"Leslie McGrath's Out from the Pleiades is a hybrid gem, a novella in verse that works utterly both as lyric poetry and as story. The life of protagonist Mina Kali, born to the Seven Sisters - a commune of "radical warrior women"--unfolds with an epic sweep, from the moment Mina 'raged forth from the dark red dark' to her final love and loss. Out from the Pleiades is a rollicking, raucous, new myth, a classic with its head in Aristophanes and its satiric heart in the 1960s. You will read these poems aloud, laughing, and then find them sneakily haunting you."
-Susanne Paola Antonetta, poet The Lives of the Saints, and author of Make Me a Mother: a memoir
"Out from the Pleiades is a revealing character study, the story of "Mina," a bully bred from the excesses of liberal culture. It's a testament to the book's complex vision that we both condemn and ultimately empathize with Mina as she makes her way through the world. It's a master class in the psychology of intimidation, marked by McGrath's signature wit, compassion and insight." -Bruce Snider, poet, Paradise, Indiana and The Year We Studied Women

Описание:
The make utility automatically determines which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled, and issues commands to recompile them. This manual describes GNU make, which was implemented by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath. This book is available as a free PDF from gnu.org.
The Make program is indispensable to maintainers of free software systems. The GNU Make manual, written by the program's original authors, is the definitive tutorial. It also includes an introductory chapter for novice users. The Make utility automates the process of compilation; it is especially useful when the source files of large programs change. It is a small program with a lot of power. This book will show you:
How to write your own makefiles
Make's rule syntax and how to write your own rules
How the Make utility can be configured to automatically put binary and source files in the right places.
How to use make to create archive files automatically
Define, set and use Make's variables
How Make uses targets so that you can broaden or narrow Make's recompilation efforts on demand.
And much more
This manual provides a complete explanation of Make, both the basics and extended features.

Описание: Tells the author`s story of life among birds. This work shows how he became a card-carrying birdwatcher, observing his first skylark - peerless king of the summer sky - while stoned; his repeatedly failed attempts to get up at the crack of dawn like the real twitchers; and his flawed bid to educate his drinking mate Danny in the ways of birding.
