Steve Jobs Biography: Almost 50% OFF today

Steve Jobs Paperback  

DEAL OF THE DAY:

.

Steve Jobs is the authorized biography of Steve Jobs. The biography was written at the request of Jobs by Walter Isaacson, a former executive at CNN and Time who has written best-selling biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein.

Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—in addition to interviews with more than one hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Isaacson was given "unprecedented" access to Jobs's life. Jobs is said to have encouraged the people interviewed to speak honestly. Although Jobs cooperated with the book, he asked for no control over its content other than the book's cover, and waived the right to read it before it was published.

.
Author Dr. Lawrence Winkler, now a medical professor on Vancouver Island, Canada, from whom you would not expect sentences like these:
.
“Tip the world on one side & everything loose will land in Los Angeles”,
.
“We honed the fine art of stuffing a Falafel, so a dollar could last all day” or
.
“If you want to sell your whisky to buy hashish, I may be of service, he said…”

Orion's Cartwheel
In the summer of 1980, a maverick young doctor gave it all up, to hitchhike around the world.  
The first arc he carved with his thumb stopped a little red pickup that took him over the horizon. Like his mythical hunter companion, Orion, he was on a vision quest, propelled toward the dawn to have his sight restored. This is the story of a five-year odyssey to discover his destiny.

.


.

Between the Cartwheels
The first part of his odyssey took him through South America and up through Africa, accompanied by his mythical hunter companion, Orion.
Between the Cartwheels is the sequel to that cartwheel, his vision quest continuing now, on the European Grand Tour adventure of a lifetime.

.



Hind Cartwheel
In Hind Cartwheel, blessed by the living goddess on his thirtieth birthday, he spins the dharma wheel of the Indian subcontinent.

.

.

The Final Cartwheel
The Final Cartwheel is the story of a young doctor's return home, after a five-year hitchhiking odyssey around the world. Through East Asia, Indonesia, and around the Antipodes, the circle becomes unbroken.

.

About the Author
As a medical professor, Lawrence Winkler never guessed that casual backyard observation would become a catalogue, and then an anthem, and then a lyrical chronicle of the science and poetry of nature.  He landed on a world of narrative non-fiction writing, from which there was no escape....

His other passions include viticulture, travel, gardening, mushroom foraging, music, Japanese art, and efforts at local environmental stewardship.

Faux Wooden Blinds: Even for Less

Years ago I found this beautiful blinds at IKEA and placed them on each window in my house: faux wooden blinds in white and dark-brown.
.


.

They look really expensive, but weren't.  Now I wanted for a new office the same blinds, but learned that they are not available anymore...  What a disappointment!
.
Not in the mood to go shopping during a summer heat wave, I went online - and sure enough found the same blinds on Amazon's website - and even for a lower amount!  
Keeps the heat and sun out of the office.

Mark Lansdowne, whose friendly exterior masks a history of covert missions and lethal violence, is still recovering from the death of his beloved wife one year prior. The outside world intrudes into his grief in a bloody fashion with a string of horrific attacks on locals. The body count spirals; the apparent culprit is an animal allegedly extinct for thousands of years.
