Essentials of Screenwriting. Richard Walter. Taschenbuch.

This inaugural-and all new-Tarcher Cornerstone Edition presents a stunningly relevant and reliable translation of the thoughts and aphorisms of the Stoic philosopher and Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, properly placing the philosopher-king's writings within the vein of the world's great religious and ethical traditions. The late antique world possessed no voice like that of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (121-180 CE). His private meditations on what constitutes a good life have withstood the centuries and reach us today with the same penetrating clarity and shining light as the words of Shakespeare, Emerson, or Thoreau. In this remarkable new translation, bestselling religious philosopher Jacob Needleman and classics scholar John P. Piazza have retained the depth of Marcus's perspective on life. They have carefully selected and faithfully rendered those passages that clarify Marcus's role as someone who stood within the great religious and ethical traditions that extend throughout every culture in human history. The voice that emerges from their translation is a universal one, equally recognizable to students of Christ, Buddha, the Vedas, the Talmud, and to anyone who sincerely searches for a way of meaning in contemporary life.

John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) is widely considered to have been the most influential economist of the 20th century. His key books include The Economic Consequences of the Peace (1919); A Treatise on Probability (1921); A Tract on Monetary Reform (1923); A Treatise on Money (1930); and his magnum opus, the General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (1936). Robert Skidelsky is Emeritus Professor of Political Economy at Warwick. His three-volume biography of Keynes received numerous awards, including the Lionel Gelber Prize and the Council on Foreign Relations Prize.

The 'Mozart of mathematics' (New York Times) takes us on a tour of the core ideas of mathematical thinking In Six Maths Essentials, the renowned mathematician Terence Tao shows how mathematics has evolved from counting and geometry into a flexible set of tools for understanding an increasingly complex world. He moves effortlessly from children discovering infinity through play, to the numbers that underpin our online lives; from Johannes Kepler using algebra to price a barrel of wine, to curved geometries that explain why GPS works and planes don't fly in straight lines on a map. Along the way, dice games, insurance policies and financial crises illuminate probability's promise-and its limits-while deceptively simple rules give rise to chaos, pattern and life itself. Playful and wise, this is the best entry point for understanding how mathematics works. Contrary to popular perception, maths, Tao insists, isn't magic-it's a powerful way of thinking from first principles and modelling the world that anyone can learn.

Von der Autorin des Buchclub-Auswahl von Reese Witherspoon, "The Scent Keeper", kommt ein „herzzerreissend köstlicher“ nationaler Bestseller über eine Köchin, ihre Schüler und die eindrucksvollen Lektionen, die das Essen über das Leben lehrt. Einmal im Monat, an einem Montagabend, versammeln sich acht Schüler in Lillians Restaurant zu einem Kochkurs. Unter ihnen ist Claire, eine junge Frau, die sich mit ihrer neuen Identität als Mutter auseinandersetzt; Tom, ein Anwalt, dessen Leben durch Verlust auf den Kopf gestellt wurde; Antonia, eine italienische Küchendesignerin, die sich an das Leben in Amerika anpasst; sowie Carl und Helen, ein lang verheiratetes Paar, dessen Verbindung Überraschungen birgt, mit denen der Rest der Klasse niemals gerechnet hätte. Die Schüler sind gekommen, um die Kunst hinter Lillians seelenvollen Gerichten zu lernen, doch bald wird klar, dass jeder ein Rezept für etwas jenseits der Küche sucht. Und bald werden sie durch die Aromen, Geschmäcker und Texturen dessen, was sie kreieren, verwandelt. Erica Bauermeister ist die Autorin von "The School of Essential Ingredients", "500 Great Books by Women: A Reader’s Guide", "Let’s Heart It For the Girls: 375 Great Books for Readers 2-14" und "Joy for Beginners".
