Stephen Crane was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation. In fiction, Crane pioneered a naturalistic and unsentimental style of writing that was strongly influenced by Crane's experiences as a journalist. He wrote notable works in the Realist tradition as well as early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism. His Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage (1895) is a classic of American literature that realistically depicts the psychological complexities of fear and courage on the battlefield. Crane's novella Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (1893) is also acclaimed as an important work in the development of literary Naturalism. Crane was also the author of some of the most unusual poetry in all of nineteenth century English literature. Written in free verse and focusing on paradoxical, almost dream-like images, Crane's poetry endures as one of the most unique contributions to the American canon. Crane authored a single collection of poetry, The Black Riders, and Other Lines. Contents: THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE MAGGIE: A GIRL OF THE STREETS THE THIRD VIOLET THE MONSTER AND OTHER STORIES THE LITTLE REGIMENT AND OTHER EPISODES OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR LAST WORDS WOUNDS IN THE RAIN THE OPEN BOAT AND OTHER STORIES MEN, WOMEN, AND BOATS THE BLACK RIDERS AND OTHER LINES

With A to Z Classics, discover or rediscover all the classics of literature. Contains Active Table of Contents (HTML) and in the end of book include a bonus link to the free audiobook. Heart of Darkness is a novella written by Polish-born writer Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski). Before its 1902 publication, it appeared as a three-part series (1899) in Blackwood's Magazine. It is widely regarded as a significant work of English literature and part of the Western canon. This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame narrative. It follows Marlow as he recounts, from dusk through to late night, his adventure into the Congo to a group of men aboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary. The story details an incident when Marlow, an Englishman, took a foreign assignment as a ferry-boat captain, employed by a Belgian trading company. Although the river is never specifically named, readers may assume it is the Congo River, in the Congo Free State, a private colony of King Leopold II. Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver; however, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization in a cover up. Kurtz has a reputation throughout the region.

Billions of photographs are taken worldwide each day, and most of them are captured with a smartphone. In the context of clinical dentistry, many clinicians use their smartphone to take clinical photographs for communication or documentation simply because they cannot operate or afford a professional camera. Author Louis Hardan understands too well how a poorly taken photograph can compromise the quality of dentistry delivered to the patient, which is why he launched the Mobile Dental Photography (MDP) project in 2012. He wanted to find a way to make documentation and communication easy and affordable to all dentists and laboratory technicians, including students. In this book he outlines how to use the smartphone camera with auxiliary lighting and accessories to take photographs for treatment planning, documentation and self-evaluation, communication with the patient and laboratory technician, tracking the evolution of treatment, as well as for publishing, lecturing, and insurance and medicolegal purposes. He also shows how to take artistic photographs to wow your followers on social media and effectively market your practice online. You really can get similar-quality images with a smartphone camera as with a DSLR camera; you just need to know how to use it. This book is the key.

<b><b>Un classique qui retrace une partie de l’histoire maritime</b><br></b> <br>En 1679, Alexandre-Olivier Exquemelin dit Oexmelin écrit le récit de ses aventures avec les Frères de la Côte. Par le menu détail, il conte les expéditions et dresse le portrait des plus fameux d’entre eux : l’Olonois, Monbars, Grammont, etc. C'est un succès immédiat, puis de nombreux écrivains y trouvent une source inépuisable d’inspiration. <br> <br> <b>Un roman historique biographique sur les grands navigateurs de l’entourage d’Oexmelin</b> <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>Les voyageurs aiment naturellement à parler de ce qui leur est arrivé, surtout lorsqu’ils sont hors de danger, et qu’ils croient que leurs aventures méritent d’être sues. Je ne veux donc point dissimuler que je prends quelque plaisir à raconter ce qui s’est passé dans mon voyage. Peut-être même ne sera-t-on pas fâché de l’apprendre ; je tâcherai du moins d’en rendre la relation aussi agréable qu’elle est vraie. <br> <br>Nous nous embarquâmes le 2 mai 1666 ; et le même jour, après avoir levé l’ancre de la rade du Havre-de-Grâce, nous allâmes mouiller à la Hogue, sous le cap de Barfleur. Nous étions dans le vaisseau Saint-Jean, qui appartenait à MM. de la Compagnie Occidentale, commandé par le capitaine Vincent Tillaye. Nous allâmes joindre le chevalier de Sourdis, qui commandait, pour le roi, le navire dit l’Hermine, monté de trente-six pièces de canon, avec ordre d’escorter plusieurs vaisseaux de la Compagnie qui allaient en divers endroits, les uns au Sénégal, en Afrique et aux Antilles de l’Amérique, les autres vers la Terre-Neuve. <br> <br>À PROPOS DE L’AUTEUR <br> <br>Lorsqu’une ordonnance du roi interdit l'exercice de la chirurgie aux protestants, <b>Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin</b> (né en 1646) s'engage à la Compagnie des îles d'Amérique. Aussitôt débarqué aux Antilles le 7 juillet 1666, il est vendu pour la somme modique de trente écus au sieur de La Vie qui le maltraitera. Sa réputation de médecin attire l'attention du gouverneur de l'île qui le protège. Fuyant le mauvais sort, il s'engage comme chirurgien sur un navire flibustier sous le commandement du fameux Morgan. Il participe à de nombreuses expéditions de 1666 à 1672.

<p>Dziś trudno jest wyobrazić sobie rozmowy o gospodarce bez użycia pojęcia „przełomowa innowacja”. Jednak ta niezwykła popularność sprawia, że jego znaczenie coraz bardziej się rozmywa, a nawet wypacza. W swej książce Gans przypomina oryginalny sens teorii przełomowej innowacji zaproponowanej w 1997 roku przez guru zarządzania Claytona Christensena. Z przełomową innowacją mamy do czynienia wtedy, gdy firmy, które reagują na nią wzorcowo, działając w sposób, który wcześniej doprowadził je do sukcesu, ponoszą klęskę. Gans rozszerza teorię Christensena i prezentuje taktyki, które pozwalają wielkim firmom z lekkością wskakiwać na fale innowacji.<br />Gans w swojej książce nie stwierdza jednoznacznie, że klęska takich firm jak Britannica czy Blockbuster była nieunikniona. Obydwie miały wybór, ale Britannica, chcąc nadążyć za technologiczną zmianą, musiałaby kompletnie zmienić swoją strukturę organizacyjną i de facto stać się inną firmą. Blockbuster został wyparty z rynku, bo klienci opowiedzieli się za zaproponowanym przez Neflixa sposobem wypożyczania i oglądania filmów. Ale nic nie stało na przeszkodzie, aby sam Blockbuster powielił model biznesowy zaproponowany przez Netflixa. W 2000 r. ten pierwszy nawet odrzucił szansę zakupu Netflixa za 50 mln dolarów, w 2014 r. zaś wartość start-upu z Kalifornii była wyceniana już na 26 mld dolarów. I tu znów wracamy do dylematów, jakie stoją przed firmami – pisze w przedmowie do wydania polskiego Iain Maxwell, dyrektor zarządzający, Canon Polska</p>
