Tor. Tretze cases i tres morts (edició definitiva)
by Carles PortaCarles Porta narra la història més apassionant del true crime català: tot va començar a Tor. «Me van robar, me van intentar matar, i encara soc jo lo cabrón. Només em queda una solució: morir matant!». Tretze veïns, amos d'una muntanya. Al poble de Tor, tocant a Andorra. Poderosos que s'enfronten. Interessos, contraban, l'orgull de la força. Assassinats estranys i sentències que fan créixer la crispació.Carles Porta ha investigat la història de Tor, la muntanya maleïda. Hi va anar, la primera vegada, per fer un 30 Minuts per a TV3. I en va quedar atrapat. Durant vuit anys hi va tornar molts cops per parlar llargament amb uns personatges impenetrables, alguns plens d'odi, altres, de por i de secrets. Les escenes més tenses i també les més grotesques, i els retrats humans d'uns personatges que impressionen per la seva ràbia encesa. Tor: Tretze cases i tres morts es devora amb la passió i l'avidesa que desperten les grans històries. Aquesta nova edició, amb imatges i amb els noms reals dels personatges, sumarà nous lectors a les desenes de milers de persones que han convertit el llibre en un referent del millor periodisme i Tor en un dels mites de la crònica negra catalana.

Topverkäufer schenken reinen Wein ein: Wie Sie mit Empathie gute Kundenbeziehungen aufbauen
by Betina FischerGenau wie bei Weinen sind Verkaufsgespräche nur dann gut und erfolgreich, wenn man mit ihnen richtig umzugehen weiß. Verkäufer "kultivieren" nur eine gute Kundenbeziehung, wenn sie ihrem Kunden keinen billigen Fusel einschenken, sondern reinen Wein. Ehrlich, wahrhaftig und aufrichtig sollten Verkäufer sein, damit sich ihre Kunden ernst genommen fühlen. Sie müssen genau hinhören, um zu erfahren, was der Kunde möchte, welche Bedürfnisse und Bedenken er hat. Wichtig ist dabei besonders die Empathie. Genau darum geht es in Betina Fischers Buch. Sie gibt Antworten auf Fragen, wie zum Beispiel: - Wie kann ich mit Empathie Kundenerlebnisse schaffen, die Vertrauen schaffen? - Was bedeutet kultiviertes Verkaufen? - Warum ist es so wichtig, den Kunden reinen Wein einzuschenken? - Was haben Humor, Emotionen und Freundschaften damit zu tun? - Wie kann ich langanhaltende und gute Beziehungen zu meinen Kunden aufbauen? Aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln, mal aus Sicht des Kunden und mal aus der des Verkäufers, erfährt der Leser anhand spannender Verkaufsgeschichten und mit anschaulichen Beispielen, wie er schnell und einfach aus Interessenten und Käufern begeisterte Stammkunden machen kann. Kunden, Kundenerfahrungen und Kundenbedürfnisse sind so vielfältig wie die Aromen in einem Wein. Wenn man eine Flasche Wein öffnet, dann ist das immer wieder eine spannende Angelegenheit. Genauso spannend ist jeder einzelne Kunde, mit dem man sich in ein Verkaufsgespräch begibt. Es gilt, diesen Kunden mit der gleichen Hingabe, Aufmerksamkeit, Gelassenheit und Begeisterung zu entdecken, mit der ein neuer Wein entdeckt wird.

Topsy: The Story of a Golden-haired Chow (History of Ideas Series)
by Marie BonaparteTopsy is a psychoanalytic tale of the effects of a dog on its owner; the analyst is the great Marie Bonaparte. Only after being told that her dog had cancer did she realize the attachment she developed to Topsy. She describes the emotions she experienced during the time of Topsy's illness and subsequent healing. Written in France and Greece at the onset of World War II, the story of Topsy's cancer clearly is intended to convey the ills of Europe at that time.Bonaparte's relationship with her dog reveals her own fears about aging, dying, being alone, as well as the uncertainty of the political situation. As she tells her story, Bonaparte is reminded of the experience of her father, who also suffered from cancer. Topsy, while not written as a scientific study, provides insight into the psychoanalytical effects of relationships between humans and animals. It tells us much about one of psychotherapy's founding personages as well as the members of her professional circle in a critical period of European history.In the new introduction, Gary Genosko reflects on Sigmund Freud's own affection for, and use of, dogs in his analyses. He goes on to describe the relationship between Freud and Bonaparte and how dogs played a significant part in that companionship. Topsy will be of interest to psychologists, psychiatrists, and those who love, and have been loved by dogs.
Topsy: The Startling Story of the Crooked-Tailed Elephant, P. T. Barnum, and the American Wizard, Thomas Edison
by Michael DalyIn 1903, on Coney Island, an elephant named Topsy was electrocuted, and over the past century, this bizarre, ghoulish execution has reverberated through popular culture with the whiff of urban legend. But it really happened, and many historical forces conspired to bring Topsy, Thomas Edison, and those 6600 volts of alternating current together that day. Tracing them all in Topsy The Startling Story of the Crooked Tailed Elephant, P.T. Barnum, and the American Wizard, Thomas Edison, journalist Michael Daly weaves together a fascinating popular history, the first book on this astonishing tale.At the turn of the century, the circus in America was at its apex with the circuses of P.T. Barnum and Adam Forepaugh (or 4-Paw) competing in a War of the Elephants, with declarations of whose pachyderms were younger, bigger, or more "sacred”. This brought Topsy to America, fraudulently billed as the first native-born, and caught between the circus disputes and the War of the Currents, in which Edison and George Westinghouse (and Nikola Tesla) battled over alternating versus direct current.Rich in period Americana, and full of circus tidbits and larger than life characters-both human and elephant-Topsy is a touching tale and an entertaining read.
Topsy-Turvy Inside-Out Knit Toys: Magical Two-in-One Reversible Projects
by Susan B. AndersonSusan B. Anderson's fifth book--her most enchanting yet--turns the spotlight on "reversibles": knitted projects that are two toys in one. This collection of a dozen delightful toys features a dog in a doghouse, a chrysalis with a fluttery surprise inside, a tiny hidden fairy, a vintage toy with a fabled theme to boot, pigs in a blanket, and much more.The adorable photographic sequences and the playful and energetic line drawings show how each finished reversible can be turned inside out to reveal its companion toy. Projects are arranged in order from simplest (fine for a beginner) to the most challenging. Finally, the book features tutorials from the author (a great knitting teacher), explaining special techniques: how to apply any applique, how to do the stem stitch, how to embroider "eyes" on the Bunny and Lamb, and 14 more. It all adds up to the best knitting book of the season.

Topsfield
by John Dinan Elizabeth DinanThis unique collection of photographs and postcards presents the first pictorial history of Topsfield, Massachusetts. Topsfield is a collection of beautiful old photographs and postcards documentingthe history of the town from its earliest days to the late 1950s. Quickly approaching its 350th anniversary, the town is known for its beautiful summer estates and the acclaimed Parson Capen House, one of the world's-finest preserved examples of Elizabethan architecture. About 35 years after the purchase of the land by John Winthrop in 1616 from Masconomet, chief of the Agawam tribe, there was enough of a thriving agricultural community to establish a village. The Parson Capen House was built in 1683 by Reverend Joseph Capen and is now beautifully restored and maintained by the Topsfield Historical Society, drawing visitors from around the world. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Topsfield transformed from a primarily agricultural community into a rural suburban town with many lovelyestates such as the Bradley Palmer Estate. Early images, including those from the Otto Lake glass-plate photograph collection, show early town events such as the Topsfield Fair, which is the country'soldest town fair. These fascinating images give us a wonderful view of life in early Topsfield and document the rich history of local landmarks and beautiful countryside.
