Grekisk mytologi : gudar, hjältar & monster

AvMichael Gibson

Inbunden, Svenska, 2015, 12-15 år

"Fascinerande läsning... [boken] bjuder på såväl upplevelse som kunskap i tilltalande form och format."

Bibliotekstjänst, Gunnar Åsberg

Gudar, hjältar & monster - med överdådiga illustrationer! Först fanns Kaos. Från Kaos steg Moder Jord fram och födde titaner och cykloper. Titanerna fick sedan gossebarnet Zeus, som kom att bli den högsta och mäktigaste guden. De nya gudarna hade kommit! 26 berättelser från den grekiska mytologin med fantastiska illustrationer. I denna vackra och innehållsrika bok möter vi gudar, hjältar, monster, underverk och märkliga varelser i en äventyrlig blandning. Havsguden Poseidon, kärlekens gudinna Afrodite, underjordens herre Hades, vishetens gudinna Athena, musikens gud Apollon, och många fler! Vid sidan av gudarna finns det mystiska varelser som kentaurer, skogsnymfer och nereider. Även fasansfulla monster, t.ex. Medusa - med en man av ormhuvuden, Kerberos - den trehövdade hunden, Kimaira - hälften lejon, hälften bock, Echidna - hälften kvinna, hälften orm... Länge har det saknats en bok på svenska för unga om den grekiska mytologin. Äntligen kan hela familjen stiga in i gudarnas värld och fascineras av deras öden, hjältedåd och intriger. Den grekiska mytologin har sina spår än idag - i litteratur, film, musik... Den italienska konstnären GIOVANNI CASELLI har tecknat bilderna i färg och svartvitt.

Contracting for Public Value

New Thinking for More Effective, Accountable, and Sustainable Public Service Contracts

AvCarolyn J. Heinrich,Deanna Malatestam. fl.

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) play an increasingly central role in the delivery of public services worldwide, promoting long-term institutional cooperation through multisector partnerships. If well-structured and managed, PPPs offer the opportunity to expand public service capacities while sharing financial and operational risks and responsibilities with private partners. Yet many PPPs experience conflict and fail, squandering public resources and falling short in serving the public interest.Contracting for Public Value extensively analyzes the contractual arrangements and relationships that serve as the scaffolding for PPPs, and how they can be designed, developed, and managed to promote more effective, accountable, and sustainable partnerships for public services delivery. The book focuses on two in-depth case studies of complex, multiactor PPPs--one in the United States and one in the United Kingdom--that employed outcomes-based contracts in arranging for service provision to vulnerable populations. Drawing on multiple theoretical models, the book characterizes the organizational structures, contractual features, and exchange relationships among the respective sets of PPP partners. It presents theory-informed, comparative analyses using rich case-study data to illuminate how the formal and relational contract features structured the collaborations and either supported or impeded the success of the PPPs. The analysis generates new knowledge that challenges the predominance of the traditional formal contract that has governed most PPPs and introduces new thinking about relational contracting and systems change to enhance the success of PPPs.Practitioners will derive specific, original guidance and examples from this book on how to champion public value in designing and executing a PPP contract, center relationship building and fortify PPPs with effective institutional and accountability mechanisms, and sustain long-term, public-private collaboration.

Sommelier Prep Course

An Introduction to the Wines, Beers, and Spirits of the World

AvMichael Gibson

Häftad, Engelska, 2010

427 kr

Tillfälligt slut

While the subject of wine, beer, and spirits continues to grow in popularity, there are very few books that approach the subject in an accessible manner and that also contain the pedagogical features needed by instructors. In addition, most books cover the subject of wine only, while hospitality students need a broader base on knowledge that also includes beer and spirits. After finishing the book, readers will be prepared to take the introductory certification exams of the Court of Master Sommeliers, International Sommelier Guild, and Society of Wine Educators and receive a first-level certification. Divided into five parts, Gibson covers wine, beer, and spirits. Along with a history of each type of beverage, he also covers how these beverages are produced and manufactured, varieties and styles of these beverages, and food pairings. Most importantly, Gibson covers costing, pricing, merchandising, marketing, and storing wine, along with creating a balanced wine list and table service.

Paper Belt on Fire

How Renegade Investors Sparked a Revolt Against the University

Skickas

Written by a successful venture capitalist (and university dropout), this book is part memoir, part guide for the next generation of innovators who seek an alternative to the traditional path in higher education.“Part adventure tale, part manifesto, Paper Belt on Fire is a battle cry for anyone who ever dreamed of wresting power back from corrupt institutions—or of nailing the truth to the cathedral door.” —Peter Thiel, author of Zero to OnePaper Belt on Fire is the unlikely account of how two outsiders with no experience in finance—a charter school principal and defrocked philosopher—start a venture capital fund to short the higher education bubble. Against the contempt of the education establishment, they discover, mentor, and back the leading lights in the next generation of dropout innovators and in the end make their investors millions.Can such a madcap strategy help renew American creativity? Who would do such a thing?This story is the behind-the-scenes romp of one team that threw educational authorities into a panic. It fuses real-life personal drama with history, science, and philosophy to show how higher education and other institutions must evolve to meet the dire challenges of tomorrow.
