Edward lebt in einer Welt, die er sich nicht leisten kann und zu der er nicht gehört. Um sich beliebt zu machen, kümmert er sich um die Bedürfnisse seiner beiden reichen Freunde aus der Upper Class: Er holt ihre Wäsche aus der Reinigung, putzt und kocht für sie. Er tut alles, um seine absolut schrecklichen »besten Freunde«, Robert und Stanza, bei Laune zu halten, aber auch um seine »niedere Herkunft« und seine Gewaltgeschichte vergessen zu machen. Edward will einfach dazugehören.

Bauschan, so wurde der Hund genannt, als man ihn damals, als kleines Häuflein Elend, von einer Bergbäuerin erstand, ist allerdings eine überaus robuste Natur.

Die prosaischen Gemälde, die sich dabei offenbaren, präsentieren sich innerhalb ihrer literarischen Ästhetik mit Herz und Geist und entfalten dabei ihre ganz eigene Stimmung.

I want you to know that I see you. I want you to know that even if no one else does, even if you are a ghost in this bookshop, or just the static floating across the screen of your computer, wherever you’re reading this, I see you. I see you in the dark and I see you in the grey. I see you as a story, as words I have spoken or may yet speak. Maybe only in a memory or a dream. I see your hands and your arms and your body and your legs and your face and I see what you have been and what you will be.

I know you don’t want to talk sometimes. Sometimes because it hurts and sometimes because you’re just not supposed to talk about what you want to talk about. Sometimes it can be hard to say, “this is beautiful,” when no one else can see what you see. Or, “Here, this is where the pain is.” But some part of you knows, the truth about the words you cannot say is that they only hurt until you say them. They only hurt until the person who needs to hear them, hears them.

This book breaks through both the hype and the doom-and-gloom surrounding automation and the deployment of artificial intelligence-enabled—“smart”—systems at work. Management and technology experts Thomas Davenport and Steven Miller show that, contrary to widespread predictions, prescriptions, and denunciations, AI is not primarily a job destroyer. Rather, AI changes the way we work—by taking over some tasks but not entire jobs, freeing people to do other, more important and more challenging work.

A groundbreaking endeavor to explore human spirituality through the evolving technology of artificial...

Lui, però, è determinato a dimostrare loro di essere un vero brujo e con l'aiuto di Maritza, sua cugina nonché migliore amica, decide di celebrare da solo il rituale dei quinces, ritrovare il fantasma di suo cugino Miguel, morto assassinato, e liberarlo nell'aldilà.

We are thrust into a world of comparisons and competition from the time we are born. We are judged based on the color of our skin, size and shape of our nose, eyes, and other body parameters. As we grow older, our value as a person is not only assessed by our parents but also by those around us in the community. In the book, Thomas Skaria explores several crucial questions, including what self-esteem is, sources of low self-esteem, signs and impact, and how to find a true basis for self-esteem.

Our ability to think about the future is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal. In The Invention of Tomorrow, cognitive scientists Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan Redshaw, and Adam Bulley argue that its emergence transformed humans from unremarkable primates to creatures that hold the destiny of the planet in their hands. Drawing on their own cutting-edge research, the authors break down the science of foresight, showing us where it comes from, how it works, and how it made our world.

Part novel, part philosophical treatise, part satire, Sartor Resartus is a masterpiece of 19th-century literature, following in the footsteps of Swift’s Tale of a Tub and Sterne’s Tristram Shandy and a key influence on Melville’s Moby-Dick. Bubbling over with ideas, humour and inventiveness, it is—on the surface—a long-suffering British editor’s skeptical account of a German philosopher’s book, Clothes: Their Origin and Influence, which itself is steeped in German idealism.

Nel momento in cui si conoscono, Gabriel Oak e Bathsheba Everdene sono due persone antitetiche: fattore benestante, dai modi un po’ frugali, il primo; bellissima e nullatenente, ospite di una zia, la seconda.

Dopo una terribile tempesta, tuttavia, i ruoli si invertono: Bathsheba ha ora ereditato la florida azienda agricola dello zio, mentre Gabriel, caduto in miseria, è costretto a farsi assumere proprio da lei come pastore.
