Найти книгу: "Why Johnny Doesn't Flap"

Johnny is different. He is never exactly on time, he can't seem to stick to a routine and he often speaks in cryptic idioms. Johnny is neurotypical, but that's ok. A picture book with a difference, Why Johnny Doesn't Flap turns the tables on common depictions of neurological difference by drolly revealing how people who are not on the autistic spectrum are perceived by those who are. The autistic narrator's bafflement at his neurotypical friend's quirks shows that 'normal' is simply a matter of perspective.

Siin on kirjas Johnny Deppi elu tousud ja langused, tema teekond looduslapsest massajast Hollywoodi peavoolu kuuluvaks isepaiseks ja soltumatuks naitlejaks. Uks filmimaailma kestvama populaarsusega naitlejaid Johnny Depp kuulub korgelt hinnatud liikmena Hollywoodi eliiti, ent ometi on ta jaanud ka isepaiseks korvalseisjaks. Tema vapustavad osataitmised sellistes kassamenukites nagu „Alice Imedemaal“ ja „Kariibi mere piraatide“ sari on tublisti taiendanud tema ulemaailmse fanniklubi ridu. Ehkki Depp on relvituks tegevalt nagus, on ta enamasti vastu pannud kiusatusele mangida lihtsaid sudametemurdja osi ning valinud pigem niisugused filmirollid, mis peegeldavad tema enda omaparast elukasitust. See pronksja jumega ameeriklane on koige enam vaimustanud publikut siis, kui on manginud ebatavalisi veidrikke, nagu Edward Kaarkasi, Ichabod Crane filmis „Legend peata ratsanikust“ ja kapten Jack Sparrow. Tootamise korval on Deppi sundmusterohkes elus olnud nii narkotarbimist ja enesevigastamist noorukieas kui avalikkuse tahelepanu koitnud armusuhteid mitme kuulsusega, sealhulgas Kate Mossi ja Winona Ryderiga. Neliteist aastat nautis ta rahulikku onne elukaaslase Vanessa Paradis’ ja nende uhiste laste seltsis – lopuks oli taitunud Johnny puudlus leida koduse elu harmoonia, millest jai kovasti vajaka tema enda rahutus lapsepolves. Kahjuks ei jaanud see pikk suhe pusima. See elulooraamat kajastab Deppi tahelepanuvaarset teekonda koolipoisist massajast taltsutamatu rokitaheni, pajatab tema aastatest teismeliste iidolina ja seejarel auhinnatud filminaitlejana. NB! E-raamat on illustratsioonideta.

Praise for BILLIONS OF DROPS in MILLIONS OF BUCKETS «Billions of Drops in Millions of Buckets provides a bracing and original look at philan-thropy that offers a much-needed corrective to conventional wisdom. Steve Goldberg combines a resolve to understand why so much philanthropy accomplishes so little enduring social change with a timely and serious proposal to reinvigorate nonprofit capital markets through the simplest of insights: getting more of the money to where it can do the most good. This book will change how forward-looking philanthropists, foundations, and policymakers think about the relationship between charitable giving and the transformative capacity of social entrepreneurs.» —Jerr Boschee, founder and Executive Director, The Institute for Social Entrepreneurs; Visiting Professor of the Practice in Social Enterprise, Carnegie Mellon University «Goldberg's arguments are logical next steps in the rapidly evolving discussion of social capital markets. He offers ambitious proposals informed by the reality of current practices and focused on an achievable set of goals. He fully recognizes the potential for restructuring that is inherent in this time of financial hardship. Real change relies on big ideas, and Steve Goldberg offers us several.» —Lucy Bernholz, author of Creating Philanthropic Capital Markets: The Deliberate Evolution «When I first heard about 'evidence-based medicine,' I thought: 'you mean it isn't?' Read this book and that's how you'll feel about 'performance-based philanthropy.' Goldberg takes some of the best current management thinking and applies it to social enterprise, illuminating both the encouraging successes of social entrepreneurs and the barriers they face. Even better, he presents compelling ideas for making the social sector vastly more effective.» —Christopher Meyer, Chief Executive, Monitor Networks «Goldberg calls for more 'performance-driven philanthropy,' where nonprofits are rewarded based on their results, in place of the current dysfunction. It is an important call and a valuable contribution to discussions about how to improve nonprofits in the U.S. and internationally.» —Martin Brookes, Chief Executive, New Philanthropy Capital «Billions of Drops… is a must-read romp through emerging fields of social entrepre-neurship and nonprofit capital markets.» —George Overholser, founder and Managing Director, NFF Capital Partners

Filled with tools and models for a new world, this book should be required reading for strategists and innovators across disciplines. «Refreshing. A book that does not follow today’s push to be ‘innovative’ just to snag attention because of the current hot trending keyword. Matter of fact, Cecily Sommers’ book works to get us away from simply identifying and going for a ride on the latest trend(s) in our respective industries. Quite the contrary, rather than avoid a scientific or tactical discussion of trend identification, she works to give us the ability to go beyond trends and into the future. Cecily has drafted a book providing a nice blend of practical reality, philosophy, and practical execution. It speaks well to current discussions about how to drive ‘innovation’ or, better, creativity within your businesses—however large or small. All in, this is a book 254 pages long, including index, that is written at a practical level that, after closer study following an initial read-through, provides a methodology for anticipating the future and taking action to meet it.
