Sinopse

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: George Bernard Shaw, Nobel Laureate in Literature and a reference in Irish literature


“Arms and the Man” is a humorous play by the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, first produced at the Avenue Theatre in 1894 and first published in 1898, in a collection of Shaw’s plays entitled “Plays Pleasant.” The play title comes from the opening words of Virgil's Aeneid, in Latin: Arma virumque cano ("Of arms and the man I sing").

“Arms and the Man” shows the futility of war and deals comedically with the hypocrisies of human nature. Set during the 1885 Serbo-Bulgarian war, the play follows Raina Petkoff as she chooses between her fiancé, the rather stupid war hero Sergius Saranoff, and a cynical mercenary from the opposing army, Captain Bluntschli.

“Arms and the Man” was one of Shaw's first commercial successes.

    There’s something uniquely satisfying about stepping outside your door and clipping a sprig of fresh rosemary for your roasted potatoes or plucking a handful of mint to stir into a summer drink. Herb gardening is one of the most rewarding ways to connect with nature, flavor your meals, and surround yourself with scents that calm the mind and uplift the spirit. Whether you're working with a sprawling backyard or a sunny windowsill, growing herbs is an accessible, enriching hobby that brings beauty, flavor, and even wellness into your daily life. 
    This book was written with both beginners and aspiring green thumbs in mind—people who want to grow herbs but aren’t quite sure where to begin. Maybe you’ve tried to keep a basil plant alive on your kitchen counter and it didn’t last the week. Or perhaps you’re dreaming of a lush herb spiral filled with lavender, oregano, and thyme. No matter where you're starting from, this guide will walk you through every step with clarity, encouragement, and practical advice. 
    Herbs are among the easiest plants to grow, yet their uses are incredibly diverse. They elevate meals, support natural remedies, perfume the home, attract pollinators, and even deter garden pests. What’s more, they ask for very little in return—a bit of sunlight, well-drained soil, and the occasional trim. With a little knowledge and care, your herb garden can flourish indoors or out, in containers or raised beds, on a balcony or backyard plot.

    In the heart of one of the most complex environments in the world—an environment where airplanes move every minute, thousands of passengers flow through, and hundreds of sensitive systems operate without pause—one man stands in the critical moments to resolve the battle within seconds: 
    the Airport Fire Commander. 
    This commander does not think like a traditional firefighter… 
    He thinks with an entirely different mindset— 
    A mindset that balances speed with discipline, boldness with calculation, and courage with the ability to see the full picture before a small spark turns into an incident that changes the airport’s history. 
    The airport fire commander begins his thinking from the future, not from the incident. 
    He thinks about the scenario before it happens… 
    The mistakes before they occur… 
    And the path the flames may follow before anyone else can see it. 
    He thinks in the language of the “golden time”—those few seconds that determine whether the airport will shut down… or continue operating. 
    He thinks about the optimal positioning of vehicles, the wind direction, the amount of fuel onboard, and the weak points at which the structure may collapse. 
    He thinks of the passengers before the foam… 
    Of evacuation before water… 
    Of control before confrontation. 
    He does not see the fire as a mass of flames… 
    He sees it as an equation: 
    Information, flame behavior, smoke movement, thermal energy, spread patterns, and teams working under immense pressure. 
    And so, his thinking is built on three pillars: 
    Speed – Precision – Leadership.

    Did you ever wonder what might happen if your cat turned human? When feisty Tiffany loses her temper with boyfriend Anthony, and accidentally topples a set of inherited Egyptian figurines, ancient forces take their mischievous revenge...and grant her careless wish that men were more like her tabby cat Felix.It's fun at first, as Tiffany and Felix gleefully launch him into her social circle, but it soon becomes clear that charismatic Felix spells trouble. As he wins lightning-fast success as a talented artist, Tiffany and her friends' relationships begin to flex and recalibrate - not always for the better.There's something more afoot here; and Tiffany realises that whatever's got into her cat and his art, has appeared before in her curious family.Suspicious elders, Ozzy and Iris, circle as 'Felix' and his artworks peak and spiral into trouble. Tiffany meets a promising new love and, in this tightly-woven dark comedy of manners, develops a conscience about some - but not all - of Felix's effects on her friends' lives. Torn between helping fast-deteriorating Felix evade Ozzy and Iris's sinister grasp, or just washing her hands of him, she finally chooses. But none see coming the bizarre opportunity seized by fading but predatory and cunning Felix.
