Book excerpt: "This book is a hymn to the hand. In 'Prehension,' Colin McGinn links questions from science to philosophical concerns to consider something that we take for granted : the importance of the hand in everything we do. Drawing on evolutionary biology, anatomy, archaeology, linguistics, psychology, and philosophy, among other disciplines, McGinn examines the role of the hand in shaping human evolution. He finds that the development of our capacity to grasp, to grip, to take hold (also known as 'prehension') is crucial in the emergence of Homo sapiens'"--Book jacket.

This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nach ihrem großen Roman »London NW« legt Zadie Smith mit dieser brillanten Erzählung nach – ein literarischer Diamant! Jeden Montag beobachtet Fatou einen Federball, der hinter den hohen Mauern der Botschaft von Kambodscha hin und her fliegt – ein scheinbar unendlich andauerndes Match. Fatou ist auf dem Weg zum Schwimmbad, wo sie jeden Montagmorgen ihre Bahnen zieht. Neben den sonntäglichen Treffen mit Andrew Okonkwo, einem bibelfesten Studenten aus Nigeria, ist dies die einzige Stunde in der Woche, die ganz ihr gehört. Den Rest der Woche arbeitet Fatou als Haushälterin bei den Derawals, kauft ein, kocht, putzt und hütet die Kinder. Nein, eine Sklavin ist Fatou nicht. Hin und wieder wird sie geschlagen, und bezahlt wird sie für ihre Arbeit nicht, das Haus aber verlässt sie regelmäßig und ohne um Erlaubnis fragen zu müssen. Fatou ist stoisch, sie geht durchs Leben, wie sie ihre Bahnen im Schwimmbad zieht, und es scheint fast, als würde alles immer so weitergehen – bis Fatou einem der Kinder zufällig das Leben rettet und damit das eingespielte Gleichgewicht der Familie Derawal durcheinanderbringt.Mit »Die Botschaft von Kambodscha« stellt die großartige Zadie Smith einmal mehr unter Beweis, dass es manchmal nur weniger Worte bedarf, um eine große Geschichte zu erzählen. »Dieses prägnante Glanzstück zeigt einmal mehr, warum Zadie Smith im Alter von 38 Jahren zu den kenntnisreichsten, witzigsten, differenziertesten Beobachtern der post-kolonialen Landschaft zählt.« The Star

Download or read book Better The Devil: A gripping crime novel written by TL Dyer and published by Edge of the Roof Press. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two types of undercover cops Those who can’t get in deep enough And those in so deep they can’t get out… Cass Fletcher is torn. Four years ago she walked away from a law enforcement career to live alone in her forest cabin. Now she’s returning to the city with a private investigator license and a partner eager to put down roots on their new venture. But Cass knows all about roots; like how quickly they can be torn from under her feet. So when a former close colleague goes AWOL in suspicious circumstances, leaving the safety of her forest sanctuary already feels like a bad omen. Aaron Rogers is an undercover cop whose exemplary record in the field speaks to his dedication in pursuit of justice. He’s infiltrated the deadliest street gangs in the city, squared off against fearless criminals, and witnessed the kind of violence most people only see in movies. He knows his job inside and out. He lives for it, and he’s careful to balance the risk with the reward. So there’s no reason Cass should be worried when she hears he’s gone off radar. That is, no reason except one… He hasn’t worked for the past year. Not since getting beaten to within an inch of his life while on assignment. Fearing the worst, Cass enlists her new partner to help her track down her old one. But when it leads to the most dangerous individual either of them have ever encountered, she’s left with an impossible choice. One that leads to the ultimate test of her loyalty. Better The Devil is a gripping crime novel of risk, deceit and tested loyalties, and also the sixth book in the Hoskins & Fletcher series "A superb, multi-faceted story that will have you gripped from the moment you start reading." "Wow, wow, wow." "The wonderful Hoskins and Fletcher Series continues with yet another stunning story."

Download or read book Critical Incident: A gripping and heart-breaking page-turner written by TL Dyer and published by Edge of the Roof Press. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good and bad. Right and wrong. Decent and indecent. The line that separates them is thinner than you think. PC Steve Fuller has served as an officer for over twenty years. There’s nothing he hasn’t seen, nothing he can’t deal with. He might be closing in on forty but he’s still in good shape, his head on straight, his instincts sharp. Or so he thinks. Until Anna Johnson. Hours before washing her dried blood from his body, Steve holds the young woman’s hand in the wreckage of the car, comforting her as best as one stranger to another can in the most critical moment of her life. He’s the last person she’ll see. She’s another tragic victim of the road. Another fatality. At the end of another shift. Except she won’t go away. Pale blue eyes and porcelain skin framed by ebony hair haunt his sleep at night and his conscience during the day. Compelled to find out more about what, or who, caused Anna to lose control of the car that night, Steve goes looking for answers. But they’re not easy to find. And the more he tries to do right, the more everyone tells him he’s wrong, until – piece by piece – he can’t be entirely sure of the difference any more. As the autopilot driving his life falters – colleagues questioning his decisions, physical sensations he can’t control, thoughts that leave him uneasy – the truth about Anna Johnson begins to unravel. And it’s nothing like he expects. Critical Incident is a gripping and heart-breaking page-turner, and the first book in the Code Zero police drama series This book was previously published under the title No Further Action "A wonderfully touching and powerful story." "A must read for anyone who likes deep, sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreakingly sad, explorations of the human condition." "Had me engaged from the start"

Download or read book The Secret Karate Techniques - Kata Bunkai written by Helmut Kogel and published by Meyer & Meyer Sport. This book was released on 2010-07-29 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is aimed at both the experienced Karate student and those just starting up in finding their way through the theoretical and historical background of Karate and in the practice of the so-called "secret techniques". In reading the book it becomes easy to see Karate's relationship to other Asian Martial Arts systems. Its content includes Basic Techniques, Tuite (Lever) Techniques, Chin Na-Techniques (Hold and Control), Nage Waza (Throws), Shime Waza (Strangling Techniques) and Kyusho (weak points) Techniques. In this book we have tried to analyze Tuite and Kyusho Techniques from a modern anatomical point of view and to this aim have put together a new type of graphic illustration. At its hub is the Karate Kata, which contains all of the techniques mentioned above and which is invaluable for daily training once the various levels of the Bunkai (application) have been understood. The depth of these levels of understanding is layered according to the Omote (obvious interpretation) for the beginner and the Chuden Techniques (middle level) for the more advanced. The hidden, or secret, techniques open themselves up to the higher Master levels, which are described as Okuden.
