    • 'The most fun I've had reading in the longest time' MARIAN KEYES * 'A time-bending gem about the way we live now' GABRIELLE ZEVIN * 'Brilliant, hilarious, surprising and wise. I devoured it' NAOMI ALDERMAN You wait ages for The One . . . then 203 come along at once One night Lauren finds a strange man in her flat who claims to be her husband. All the evidence - from photos to electricity bills - suggests he's right. Lauren's attic, she slowly realises, is creating an endless supply of husbands for her. There's the one who pretends to play music on her toes. The one who's too hot (there must be a catch). The one who makes a great breakfast sandwich. The one who turns everything into double entendres ('I'll weed your garden'). And the one who can calm her unruly thoughts with a single touch. But when you can change husbands as easily as changing a lightbulb, how do you know whether the one you have now is the good-enough one, or the wrong one, or the best one? And how long should you keep trying to find out?

      Prezentowana publikacja jest pracą z zakresu filozofii i dotyczy jej działu zwanego metafilozofią, badającego naturę, metody, zadania, cele, przedmiot i zakres badań filozofii. Punktem odniesienia dla rozważań metafilozoficznych są poglądy metafilozoficzne najwybitniejszych przedstawicieli najważniejszej polskiej szkoły filozoficznej w XX wieku, czyli Szkoły Lwowsko-Warszawskiej, uzupełnione i skontrastowane z poglądami innych wybitnych polskich filozofów, takich jak Henryk Elzenberg i Bogusław Wolniewicz. Autor postawił we wstępie pytanie, czy metafilozofia Szkoły Lwowsko-Warszawskiej jest wciąż aktualna w wieku XXI i udzielił na nie jasnej, uzasadnionej i pozytywnej odpowiedzi. Odpowiedź ta jest ugruntowana we wnikliwych analizach i precyzyjnych rekonstrukcjach metafilozofii Szkoły Lwowsko-Warszawskiej, poczynając od wszechstronnie przedstawionych poglądów Kazimierza Twardowskiego, który był założycielem tej szkoły, a kończąc na własnych oryginalnych propozycjach będących niekiedy istotną modyfikacją poglądów typowych dla Szkoły Lwowsko- Warszawskiej.

      The Undaunted Courage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team SIX Operator Adam Brown

      • 368 pages
      • 13 hours of reading

      Go deep into SEAL Team SIX, straight to the heart of one of its most legendary operators. When Navy SEAL Adam Brown woke up on March 17, 2010, he didn’t know he would die that night in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan—but he was ready. In a letter to his children, not meant to be seen unless the worst happened, he wrote, “I’m not afraid of anything that might happen to me on this earth, because I know no matter what, nothing can take my spirit from me.” Fearless is the story of a man of extremes, whose courage and determination were fueled by faith, family, and the love of a woman. It’s about a man who waged a war against his own worst impulses, including drug addiction, and persevered to reach the top tier of the U.S. military. In a deeply personal and absorbing chronicle, Fearless reveals a glimpse inside the SEAL Team SIX brotherhood, and presents an indelible portrait of a highly trained warrior whose final act of bravery led to the ultimate sacrifice. Adam Brown was a devoted man who was an unlikely hero but a true warrior, described by all who knew him as…fearless. “As a rule, we don’t endorse books or movies or anything regarding the command where I work—and Adam Brown worked—but as the author writes in Fearless, ‘you have to know the rules, so you know when to bend or break them.’ This is one of those times. Read this book. Period. It succeeds where all the others have failed.” —SEAL Team SIX Operator
