Catfulness - A. Cat - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Catfulness - A. Cat - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Human beings love to create problems for themselves. I observe this on a daily basis, as do all my feline friends. They never stop, and one of their favourite tasks is to find more tasks to do. They are always looking for something, as if the life they have isn''t enough. They say they''re looking for happiness - but do they know what happiness is?We cats know the art of living. We eat when we''re hungry, sleep when we''re tired. Sitting for hours outside a mouse hole has taught us patience. Staring at an aquarium has brought us meditation. And we know how to please ourselves. Catfulness is a seven-week mindfulness programme for human beings. If they can live their lives more like us, the world will be more serene. As Sigmund Freud said, ''time spent with cats is never wasted.''

The Defector - Chris Hadfield - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

'' A full throttle, adrenaline-laced espionage page-turner . . . Get ready to blast off and enjoy the ride!'' Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL Sniper and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the James Reece Terminal List series '' Continuous action, Mach-speed mayhem, sharp intrigue, and well-rounded characters - what more could you want from a thriller?'' Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The 9th Man and the Cotton Malone series Israel, late 1973. As the Yom Kippur War flares into life, a state-of-the-art Soviet MIG fighter is racing at breakneck speed over the arid scrublands below . . . and promptly disappears. NASA Flight Controller and former US Navy test pilot Kaz Zemeckis watches the scene from the ground - and is quickly pulled into a dizzying, high-stakes game of spies, lies and a possible high-level defection that plays out across three continents. The prize is beyond value: the secrets of the Soviets'' mythical ''Foxbat'' MiG-25, the fastest, highest-flying fighter plane in the world and the key to Cold War air supremacy. But every defection is double-edged with risk, and Kaz must tread a careful line between trust and suspicion. Ultimately, he must invite the fox into the henhouse - bringing the defector into the heart of the United States'' most secret test site - and hope that, with skill and cunning, the game plays out his way. For Chris Hadfield''s second heart-stopping thriller, we move from Space to another rich and exciting part of Chris''s CV: his time as a top test pilot in both the US Air Force and the US Navy, and as an RCAF fighter pilot intercepting armed Soviet bombers in North American airspace. Full of insider detail, excitement and political intrigue drawn from real events, The Defector brings us the nerve-shredding rush of aerial combat, as told by one of the world''s best fighter pilots.
