Five Children and It is a children's novel by English author E. Nesbit. Like Nesbit's The Railway Children, the story begins when a group of children move from London to the countryside of Kent. The five children - Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and their baby brother, known as the Lamb - are playing in a gravel pit when they uncover a rather grumpy, ugly, and occasionally malevolent Psammead or sand-fairy, who has the ability to grant wishes. He persuades the children to take one wish each day to be shared among them, with the caveat that the wishes will turn to stone at sunset. This, apparently, used to be the rule in the Stone Age, when all that children wished for was food, the bones of which then became fossils. The five children's first wish is to be "as beautiful as the day". The wish ends at sunset and its effects simply vanish, leading the Psammead to observe that some wishes are too fanciful to be changed to stone. All the wishes go comically wrong. The children wish to be beautiful, but the servants do not recognise them and shut them out of the house. They wish to be rich, then find themselves with a gravel-pit full of gold spade guineas that no shop will accept as they are no longer in circulation, so they can't buy anything. A wish for wings seems to be going well, but at sunset the children find themselves stuck on top of a church bell tower with no way down, getting them into trouble with the gamekeeper who must take them home (though this wish has the happy side-effect of introducing the gamekeeper to the children's housemaid, who later marries him). Robert is bullied by the baker's boy, then wishes that he was bigger . whereupon he becomes eleven feet tall, and the other children show him at a travelling fair for coins. They also wish themselves into a castle, only to learn that it is being besieged, while a wish to meet real Red Indians ends with the children nearly being scalped.

The Gods of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the second of his Barsoom series. It was first published in All-Story as a five-part serial in the issues for January–May 1913. It was later published as a complete novel by A. C. McClurg in September, 1918. As in many of his novels, Burroughs begins with a frame story that explains how he (Burroughs) came into possession of the text, implying it recounts true events. At the end of the first book, A Princess of Mars, John Carter is unwillingly transported back to Earth. The Gods of Mars begins with his arrival back on Barsoom (Mars) after a ten-year separation from his wife Dejah Thoris, his unborn child, and the Red Martian people of the nation of Helium, whom he has adopted as his own. Unfortunately, Carter materializes in the one place on Barsoom from which nobody is allowed to depart: the Valley Dor, which is the Barsoomian afterlife.

<p> One moment the glade lay empty; the next a man poised tensely at the edge of the bushes. No sound warned the red squirrels of his coming, but the birds that flitted about in the sunlight took sudden fright at the apparition and rose in a clamoring swarm. The man scowled and glanced quickly back the way he had come, fearing the bird-flight might have betrayed his presence. Then he started across the glade, placing his feet with caution. Tall and muscular of frame, he moved with the supple ease of a panther.</p>

At sixteen, Anne is grown up...almost. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins. Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behaviour of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone.

<p> Przewrotna książka, zachęcająca nas do odkrywania magii, która pojawia się, kiedy tylko trochę bardziej zaufamy naszej własnej kreatywnej intuicji</p> <p> Aby być genialnym, trzeba być irracjonalnym - przekonuje Rory Sutherland, legenda reklamy i TED Talks.</p> <p> Dlaczego napój Red Bull jest tak popularny, chociaż wszyscy nienawidzą jego smaku? Dlaczego dzięki peronowym tablicom odliczającym czas pozostały do odjazdu pociągu mniej nas denerwują opóźnienia? I dlaczego wolimy, gdy pasta do zębów jest... pasiasta?</p> <p> Uważamy się za istoty racjonalne. A ekonomia i biznes opierają się na założeniu, że podejmujemy logiczne decyzje w oparciu o dowody. Ale wcale tacy nie jesteśmy. W wielu kluczowych obszarach naszego życia rozum odgrywa naprawdę znikomą rolę. Przyciąga nas to, co piękne, ale i to, co ekstrawaganckie, nadmierne, dziwaczne, absurdalne – od kosztownych zaproszeń ślubnych po maleńkie buteleczki zawierające najnowsze perfumy. Jeśli więc chcecie wpływać na wybory dokonywane przez ludzi, musicie ominąć rozum. Najlepsze pomysły nie mają bowiem racjonalnego sensu: sprawiają, że bardziej czujemy, niż myślimy.</p> <p> „To przełomowa książka, mądra i przy tym niezwykle zabawna. Rzeczywistość jest dobrze poukładana, często ujawnia swoje sekrety praktykom, choć prawie nigdy teoretykom, czego psychologowie, ekonomiści i osoby, które nie podejmują osobistego ryzyka, nie są po prostu w stanie zrozumieć. Koniecznie kupcie dwa egzemplarze tej książki – na wypadek gdyby jeden wam ukradli”.</p> <p> Nassim Nicholas Taleb, autor Czarnego łabędzia</p>
