Maak samen met je kind die grappige lieveheersbeestjestaart, leef je uit op de vlinderkoekjes of verras je familie en vrienden (en jezelf!) met die geweldige kersenbloesemtaart. Because life can never be too sweet Als het waar is dat de liefde van de man door de maag gaat, dan hield ik al van Nanette Booij voor ik haar ooit had ontmoet. Ik kende immers haar cupcakes. Van tsja de Libelle Zomer Week, waar de cupcakes van Nanette een meer dan welkome afleiding vormden in het decor van de uitsluitend kant-en-klaar producten kopende taarten. Tegen de vrouwelijke lezers van dit boek zeg ik dan ook: laat u inspireren, verwarm de oven voor en doe alsof u het allemaal zelf verzonnen heeft. Ik garandeer u, mede namens het Nederlands Genootschap van Taarteters: hij wordt weer net zo verliefd als toen. Jan Dijkgraaf, hoofdredacteur PowNed Persoonlijk krijg ik bij dit zoete boek meteen zin om met mn kinderen de keuken in te duiken. En dat zegt wat! Phaedra Werkhoven, adjunct-hoofdredacteur Mama-magazine Eerlijk? De kans dat ik ooit een cupcake of taartje uit dit geweldige boek zal maken, is heel heel klein. En dat terwijl ze er gewéldig uitzien. Bovendien weet ik dat ze óók nog eens zálig smaken. Nanette heeft er namelijk zo'n 150 voor mijn verjaardag gemaakt. Nadat ik ze, als ware taartjessnob, eerst had voorgeproefd (wel een stuk of acht uiteraard!). Ik bedoel, zo'n plaatje is mooi en aardig maar hoe smaken ze? Het is ongelooflijk maar waar: ze smaken net zo lekker als ze eruitzien. Dit boek is niet alleen een feest voor je ogen maar ook voor je smaakpapillen. Bovendien staat het superstoer op tafel. I'm a cupcake fan. Althans, een Nanette cupcake fan. Ebru Umar, columniste Libelle en METRO

The Mapping of Geological Structures Ken McClay Department of Geology, Royal Holloway University of London, UK Detailed mapping and analysis of the structural features of rocks enable the 3D geometry of their structures to be reconstructed. The resulting evidence of the stresses and movement patterns which rocks have undergone indicates the processes by which they were formed, and allows evaluation of past deformations of the earth's crust. Written to show how one actually describes, measures and records rock structures such as folds and faults with the emphasis on accuracy, detail and on-going interpretation throughout, this handbook gives students and enthusiasts the practical information and guidance which allows their fieldwork to become vastly more rewarding. " the author is to be congratulated on producing such an excellent text. The whole range of mapping techniques that an undergraduate student will require are described and the book will still be immense help to post-graduates setting out on their research work. The book represents extremely good value and is thoroughly recommended." C.R.L. Friend, Mineralogical Magazine

Have you ever wondered what’s happening in your brain as you go through a typical day and night? This fascinating book presents an hour-by-hour round-the-clock journal of your brain’s activities. Drawing on the treasure trove of information from Scientific American and Scientific American Mind magazines as well as original material written specifically for this book, Judith Horstman weaves together a compelling description of your brain at work and at play.The Scientific American Day in the Life of Your Brain reveals what’s going on in there while you sleep and dream, how your brain makes memories and forms addictions and why we sometimes make bad decisions.

In the early 1960s, computers haunted the American popular imagination. Bleak tools of the cold war, they embodied the rigid organization and mechanical conformity that made the military-industrial complex possible. But by the 1990s - and the dawn of the Internet - computers started to represent a very different kind of world: a collaborative and digital utopia modeled on the communal ideals of the hippies who so vehemently rebelled against the cold war establishment in the first place. From Counterculture to Cyberculture is the first book to explore this extraordinary and ironic transformation. Fred Turner here traces the previously untold story of a highly influential group of San Francisco Bay-area entrepreneurs: Stewart Brand and the Whole Earth network. Between 1968 and 1998, via such familiar venues as the National Book Award-winning Whole Earth Catalog, the computer conferencing system known as WELL, and, ultimately, the launch of the wildly successful Wired magazine, Brand and his colleagues brokered a long-running collaboration between San Francisco flower power and the emerging technological hub of Silicon Valley. Thanks to their vision, counterculturalists and technologists alike joined together to reimagine computers as tools for personal liberation, the building of virtual and decidedly alternative communities, and the exploration of bold new social frontiers. Shedding new light on how our networked culture came to be, this fascinating book reminds us that the distance between the Grateful Dead and Google, between Ken Kesey and the computer itself, is not as great as we might think.

"...six colourful sections set you up for almost any eventuality ...by the end of it, readers will be sufficiently clued up to sing the Marseillaise" - France Magazine, November 2006 Worried about being laughed at if you try to speak French? Think learning a language is just not for you? Ever felt confused when you're spoken to in French? Having to deal with foreign situations can make the bravest of us feel out of control either frustrated by the incomprehension on a waiter's face as you attempt to convey your order in mime and Franglais', or embarrassed by smirks at your unwitting mispronunciation if you do try to parlez en Francais'. Excuse My French aims to put these fears to rest. Based around the BBC television series, which sent three celebrities to southern France and challenged them to learn the language in a month, it shows that anyone can learn to communicate in French, and you don't have to be fluent to make it worthwhile. Excuse My French will help you develop the confidence to speak French, and to get over your fear of making mistakes. As well as teaching you the language you need to get by in France, it will help you work out a learning style that suits you.For complete beginners or those returning to French after a break, this book shows that learning a language can be a positive and potentially life-transforming experience.

Hong Kong has a bewildering range of sex businesses offering services to suit all imaginable tastes: from the glitzy nightclubs of Tsim Sha Tsui, through the saunas, karaoke lounges and one-woman brothels of Mong Kok, to the street corners and short-time hotels of Sham Shui Po. Chinese-language sex magazines print reviews of individual prostitutes, and promote an ever-widening array of bizarre sexual practices. Even mainstream newspapers engage pimps as columnists. Business appears to be booming -- but there are hungry newcomers to this underground economy. How do local prostitutes deal with the ruthless competition posed by an endless supply of girls from mainland China? To find out, Yeeshan Yang spent a year gaining the trust of the city's sex workers, interviewing nearly 50 hookers, hostesses, toy boys, transsexuals, mama-sans and brothel owners. The result is an eye-opening book which shows the human side of sex for sale. Whispers and Moans contains tales of easy money, financial ruin and desperate love -- and rare first-hand insights into Hong Kong's huge but hidden sex industry. *In 2007, Whispers and Moans was adapted into a movie of the same name.

A luminous and unforgettable first novel by an astonishing new voice in fiction, hailed by 'Esquire' magazine as 'one of America's best young writers.' Samson Greene, a young and popular professor at Columbia, is found wandering in the Nevada desert. When his wife, Anna, comes to bring him home, she finds a man who remembers nothing, not even his own name.

So, when a charismatic scientist asks him to participate in a bold experiment, he agrees. Launched into a turbulent journey that takes him to the furthest extremes of solitude and intimacy, what he gains is nothing short of the revelation of what it means to be human.

Long before she became the renowned author of the best-selling Schmecks cookbooks, an award-winning journalist for magazines such as Maclean's, and a creative non-fiction mentor, Edna Staebler was a writer of a different sort. Staebler began serious diary writing at the age of sixteen and continued to write for over eighty years. Must Write: Edna Staebler's Diaries draws from these diaries selections that map Staebler's construction of herself as a writer and documents her frustrations and struggles, along with her desire to express herself, in writing. She felt she 'must write' -- that not to write was a 'denial of life' -- while at the same time she doubted the value of her 'scribblings'. Spanning much of the twentieth century -- each decade is introduced by an overview of key events in the author's life during that period -- the diaries vividly illuminate both her intensely personal experiences and her broader social world. The volume also presents four key examples of Staebler's public writing: her first published magazine article; her first award-winning publication; the opening chapter of her book Cape Breton Harbour; and her lively account of the 'Great Cookie War'.Must Write: Edna Staebler's Diaries portrays an 'ordinary' woman's struggle to write in the context of her lived experience. "All my life I have talked about writing and kept scribbling in my notebook, as if that makes me a writer," wrote Staebler in 1986. This volume argues that the very act of writing the diaries, with all their contradictory accounts of writerly ambition, success, and conflict, has made Staebler the writer she yearned to be.

`This is a challenging book and makes for uncomfortable reading at times because one realises that there is so much more to be accomplished in education.

Mass media has become an integral part of the human experience. News travels around the world in a split second affecting people in other countries in untold ways.

The selective bibliography gathers the books and magazine literature over the previous ten years while providing access through author, title and subject indexes.

The acclaimed, life-changing book that shows you how to stop "working" on yourself--and start living in the moment Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to go through your life without stress or self-doubt? To have a real sense of inner peace and fulfillment? Now you can--through the three simple principles in this book. Just as they do in their world-renowned workshops, Ariel and Shya Kane teach a refreshingly natural approach to living that is easy to do yet dramatically transformative. The three simple ideas that form the foundation of their approach are: What you resist persists and grows stronger. You can only be exactly as you are in the moment. Anything you allow to be exactly as it is completes itself.

''Mama, wil je even wat Chinees voor me opwarmen?' zegt Boelie. Het is half twee 's nachts, op zich een uitstekend tijdstip om Chinees op te warmen, daar niet van. Maar als je pas vier bent liggen zulke zaken genuanceerder. Hij staat naast mijn bed met zo'n overdreven wakkere, glinsterende oogopslag die bij nadere beschouwing gevoed blijkt te worden door hevige koorts. De damp slaat van zijn blote lijfje als een gloeiende radiator vol nat wasgoed, en uit zijn bekje walmt de beruchte ziekekindertjeskegel van de betere Franse kazen. 'Ik wil nog wat pekingeend met saus!' schettert hij, en begint vervolgens overvloedig te braken, uiteraard net naast het prullenbakje dat ik hem snel onder de kin probeer te schuiven.'Met haar kookboeken en haar columns in Volkskrant Magazine en Jan bond Sylvia Witteman (1965) een groot lezerspubliek aan zich. Pekingeend bij nacht bevat een royale selectie uit haar werk. De ongemakken van het dagelijks leven van een moeder met drie jonge kinderen worden met veel humor beschreven. En tot haar eigen verbazing herkent iedereen zich erin ...

'Dossier Oranje', aflevering 15 van true crime magazine Koud bloed, is geheel gewijd aan misdaad en dubieuze zaken rondom ons vorstenhuis.Historicus Gerard Aalders laat zien hoe overspel, corruptie, bedrog, pedofilie, exhibitionisme, vervalsingen en manipulaties door de eeuwen heen een smet hebben geworpen op de reputatie van ons vorstenhuis, ondanks verwoede pogingen om die schandalen binnenskamers te houden. De seksuele levenswandel van prins Hendrik bezorgde de overige bewoners van paleis Het Loo hoofdpijn. Ook aandacht voor Hendriks bastaardzoon Pim Lier, die ontspoorde na een leven in verborgenheid en zijn vrouw vermoordde.Prins Bernhards leven is een rijke bron van bedenkelijke kwesties. Hij begon zijn carrière als prins-gemaal in 1937 met een daverende botsing, met als grootste slachtoffer zijn passagier, hofjager Willem Spek. Koud bloed reconstrueerde de zaak en ontdekte hoe tragisch Speks leven verliep na het ongeluk. Philip Dröge onderzocht de betrokkenheid van prins Bernhard bij een schimmige transactie met een schilderij van Correggio; handelde de prins mogelijk in gestolen oorlogskunst?Koud bloed stelde vast dat Hofchroniqueur Cees Fasseur de rol van Jan Fabius in de Greet Hofmansaffaire wel érg minimaliseerde; deze journalist werd met machtsvertoon opgepakt na het schrijven van een aanstootgevende zin over koningin Juliana en wegens majesteitsschennis veroordeeld tot tien dagen cel.Tomas Ross vertelt op hilarische wijze over de woede die zijn boeken en televisieseries (in januari 2012 begint zijn nieuwe serie bij de VPRO) wekken bij diverse leden van het koninklijk huis en geeft gratis pr-adviezen aan de Oranjes voor de toekomst.Forensisch onderzoeker Willem van Spanje vertelt over zijn diepgravende onderzoek naar de moord op Willem van Oranje door Balthasar Gerards. Waarom zitten de beroemde kogelgaten op de plaats delict zo laag?Verder in dit nummer aandacht voor de mislukte ontvoering van koningin Juliana, voor twee moordzuchtige kamerheren van prins Maurits en voor het sprookje van 'Zeilmeisje'

FATAL EXIT is the first and only book documenting the decades-long debate among the automotive industry, government regualtors, and safety and privacy advocates over what the public terms "e;automobile black boxes"e;. The book briefly traces the history of the debate from 1974 to 2004, and then clearly presents opposing viewpoints for and against the widespread use of emerging Motor Vehicle Event Data Recorder (MVEDR) technology.The arguments are followed by proposals to proceed with developing and utilizing the technology in ways that are both effective and respectful of individual privacy. The reader of this book will be able to develop an informed opinion as to the usefulness of MVEDRs and thus contribute intelligently to the debate as the United States Congress considers legislation that mandates this technology.In the United States 220,935,000 registered owners of motor vehicles are becoming aware of black box technology through newspaper and magazine articles, and television news stories. Many understand that these boxes already exist in 40 million cars. Yet motorists still have many questions and concerns about widespread use of the technology. As the only book of its kind, written by an insider and expert on the subject, FATAL EXIT provides an invaluable resource for anyone interested in why these devices have caused such international controversy.
