In a world that is increasingly obsessed with appearance, we are becoming more and more vulnerable to the idea of a 'quick-fix' in a bottle.Yet many of the products we use on a daily basis contain an abundance of synthetic chemicals that pollute our bodies and, as our toxic load increases, many of us hoping for a quick-fix miracle today will be paying with our health tomorrow.

It's Magic, You Dope - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: CHAPTER 1IT was the same two guys. I spotted them standing down at the end of the dark street, just beyond thecone of light cast by the street lamp. They were pretending to be neighborhood people, carrying on acasual conversation on the corner, but I knew they were the same guys I'd seen standing outside thelibrary when I'd left it a half hour before, in downtown Chicago.I was quite curious, but lacked the nerve to approach them and ask what they wanted. They might wantmy wallet and watch, and then where'd I be? So I just slammed the door of my sedan, and started up thewalk toward Susan's house, pretending I hadn't noticed them. I wished there were more people out ontheir porches, but the autumn evenings had been turning colder, and hardly anyone came out.I rang the bell of the two-story bungalow where Susan lived with her folks, and was reassured to hearthe sound of footsteps coming to answer the chimes. Mrs. Baker, Susan's mother, opened the door."Hello, Al,” she said. “Susan'll be down in a minute. Here, let me take your hat.” She rambled throughsome more mother-greeting-suitor talk, and I finally wound up in the living room, sitting in the centerof the sofa, alone, while Mr. Baker, Susan's father, puffed at his pipe and tried to engage me in lightconversation on the subject of burglary. Garvey Baker was the night-watchman at the Marshall Field'sstore up near Lake Street in Oak Park. He was usually about to go out to work about the time I showedup to see Susan. It helped.As long as we were on the subject of crime, I mentioned those two guys who seemed to have followedme from the Loop. Mr. Baker laughed. “You've been reading too many mystery books,” he said with aninfuriatingly paternal smile."Yes, sir,” I said, anxiously awaiting the moment when he would lift his gold watch from his vestpocket, say, “Well, better get down to the store before the thieves strip it bare,” and go. Mrs. Bakercame in with a tray."Thought you might like some cookies and lemonade,” she explained, setting the tray down on theendtable beside the sofa. I thanked her, and she laughed and went out into the kitchen again."Well,” said Garvey Baker, getting ponderously to his feet, and glancing at that gold watch. “I betterget on up to the store before the thieves strip it bare.” I was glad to hear the front door close behindhim. Then a light patter of feet on the hall stairs announced the arrival of Miss Susan Baker, and Ijumped gratefully to my feet...."Al,” she smiled, coming across the room to me, her hands outstretched to lightly grip mine."Hi, Susan,” I said, taking hold of her fingertips for that brief moment before she'd deftly tug them free."Do you like my dress?” she said, pirouetting. “Pop got it at his discount. Isn't it adorable?"I said it was, and she sat beside me on the sofa. Perhaps “beside” is too strong. It was a three-seater; sheand I filled the one and three cushions."Your mother made lemonade for us,” I said. “Here it is, on the tray.""Oh, how nice!” said Susan, her eyes dancing. “Wasn't that nice of Mom, Al?"I said it was, and we sat a while longer. Then, getting up a little courage, I turned to her and said,“Would you like some?""Oh, please,” said Susan, brightly.I arose and poured out two glasses of lemonade, gave one to her, and sat back with the other, on thetwo-cushion.

Were You Raised by Wolves?: Clues to the Mysteries of Adulthood - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: It used to be that young people were let loose upon a grateful world with a modicum of social skill and the basic know-how to run a household. But such fundamental competence at the tasks of life seems to be rarer every day. How did we get to this pass? Should Mum not have done your homework? Should Dad have made Tiffany take that summer job instead of paying for her round the world trip? Perhaps. But what we really want to know is, what can we do about it? Why are so-called adults often unable to make their beds and clean up their own kitchens? They may even have jobs and apartments but why are they still relying on their doting parents to manage major details of their lives for them?In "Raised by Wolves", Christie Mellor lovingly offers a handbook full of advice and gentle verbal spankings that will send them off into the real world. She explains how to RSVP, clean a bathroom, behave in a restaurant, be a good party guest, and much, much more. It presents the things every adult needs to know in order to get through life without alienating every person they meet. This hilarious compendium includes information in a wealth of categories, including: how to poach a chicken (and what to do with it when you're done); how to make the perfect martini; 25 amazing uses for baking soda; how not to annoy your friends when you break up with your boyfriend; 10 common work situations, what you think they mean, and what they really mean; and, how to go a day without spending any money (and why you should, once in a while). Mellor's trademark arch, witty style makes even the most pointed advice palatable. If only we'd all had a book like this when we were young!

Television Today and Tomorrow: It Won't Be What You Think - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In recent years, the media has been awash in exuberant tales of the arrival of the information superhighway, when television will explode with exciting possibilities, offering some 500 channels as well as a marriage of TV and computer that will provide, on command, access to the latest movies, magazines, newspapers, books, sports events, stock exchange figures, your bank account, and much, much more. And the major TV networks, pundits add, will be doomed to extinction by this revolution in cable, computers, and fiber optics. But in Television Today and Tomorrow, Gene Jankowski--former President and Chairman of the CBS Broadcast Group--and David Fuchs--also a former top executive at CBS--tell a different story. They predict a bumpy road ahead for the information superhighway, and the major networks, they say, are abundantly healthy and will remain so well into the next century. The information superhighway, Jankowski and Fuchs admit, will dramatically increase the distribution channels, but it will have little impact on the amount of programming created--and this may spell disaster. The authors show how the networks began as a way to provide programs to local stations (who could not afford to produce their own), who in turn provided the distribution that gave networks access to mass audiences and ultimately large advertising dollars. They then offer us an inside look at television production--showing us, for instance, a veteran scriptwriter putting together a breakfast table scene for "Cloud Nine"--to underscore how much effort goes into producing just two minutes of primetime programming. They reveal that the present 20 channels require some 20,000 hours of programming each year, which is more than all the Broadway plays produced in this century, and they conclude that without a dramatic increase in programming (which won't happen if only because of the very finite supply of talent), the superhighway will be jammed bumper-to-bumper with reruns, old movies, and inexpensive programming aimed at tightly focused audiences ("narrowcasting" as opposed to "broadcasting"). This is hardly the bonanza the pundits have promised. The authors point out that the media blitz about the new technology has hardly focused on programming, or on funding, or on what needs these 500 channels will fill. The major networks, on the other hand, will remain the only means of reaching the whole country, and the only channels that offer a full schedule of current, live, and original programs, free of charge. And thus they will continue to attract most of the audience of TV viewers. The real loser in the cable revolution, the authors contend, is PBS, whose role as an alternative to network TV has been usurped by cable stations such as The Discovery Channel and Nickelodeon. This is a brass tacks look at television with an eye on the bottom line by two men who boast over sixty years of experience in the medium. If you want to understand television in America, where it came from and where it is going, you will need to read this book.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
