Book Description
Meet Liam Sharp, an ordinary local school history teacher with an insatiable passion for mythology. His seemingly mundane life takes an unexpected turn when he meets the enigmatic Mr. Ward, a mysterious collector who gives him an old pair of seemingly ordinary skates he bought at a flea market. These skates, however, hide an extraordinary history and unsuspected powers. Eager to put his new purchase to the test, Liam heads to the local hockey rink on a hot summer's day, just in time to watch his school's hockey team play a crucial playoff game. After an impassioned speech to the team, the players take the ice, but to everyone's dismay, the team concedes goal after goal. In a moment of desperation, Liam, wearing the magic skates he received from Mr. Ward, decides to replace the goalie. With amazing precision and power, he manages to score 5 goals in the final period, dramatically changing the course of the game and bringing the team victory. But his success did not go unnoticed. In the stands, journalist Elora Roslyn, known for her sharp investigative reporting, quickly realizes that the goalie is a fraud, and with millions watching her live broadcast, she sets out to expose Liam. At the end of the game, overcome with adrenaline and fear of being exposed, Liam runs to the locker room and hides in the janitor's closet. There, in a completely unexpected moment, he is struck by the beak of a giant chicken that appears to be more than just a creature. When he comes to, Liam discovers that he has woken up in another universe, a fantastic and dangerous realm where nothing is as it seems. Together with Pillo, the giant chicken, Liam embarks on a series of unimaginable adventures, facing off against an enigmatic villain bent on upsetting the balance of the universe. In this strange new world, the history teacher must use all of his knowledge, courage and ingenuity to thwart the villain's plans and find a way home.

App Kid
Author: Michael Sayman
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0525656200
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
An inspiring and deeply personal coming of age memoir from one of Silicon Valley’s youngest entrepreneurs—a second-generation Latino immigrant who taught himself how to code as a thirteen-year-old and went on to claim his share of the American dream. As his parents watched their restaurant business collapse in the wake of the Great Recession, Michael Sayman was googling “how to code.” Within a year, he had launched an iPhone app that was raking in thousands of dollars a month, enough to keep his family afloat—and in America. Entirely self-taught, Sayman headed from high school straight into the professional world, and by the time he was seventeen, he was Facebook’s youngest employe ever, building new features that wowed its founder Mark Zuckerberg and are now being used by more than half a billion people every day. Sayman pushed Facebook to build its own version of Snapchat’s Stories and, as a result, engagement on the platform soared across all demographics. Millions of Gen Z and Millennials flocked to Facebook, and as teen engagement rose dramatically on Instagram and WhatsApp, Snapchat’s parent company suffered a billion-dollar loss in value. Three years later, Sayman jumped ship for Google. App Kid is the galvanizing story of a young Latino, not yet old enough to drink, who excelled in the cutthroat world of Silicon Valley and went on to become an inspiration to thousands of kids everywhere by following his own surprising, extraordinary path. In this candid and uplifting memoir, Sayman shares the highs and lows, the successes and failures, of his remarkable journey. His book is essential and affirming reading for anyone marching to the beat of their own drum.

Introductory Grammar of Amharic
Author: Wolf Leslau
Publisher: Otto Harrassowitz Verlag
ISBN: 9783447042710
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : de
Pages : 318
Book Description
This book closes the gap for beginners who want to study the Amharic language and had difficulties in finding the right grammar for this purpose: The first grammar of Amharic, the national language of Ethiopia, was published by Hiob Ludolf in 1698. The Amharic grammar published by Praetorius in 1879 is based on Amharic religious texts and on scattered material, usually composed by missionaries. A milestone in the study of Amharic is Marcel Cohen's Traite de langue amharique (1936), but this grammar, too is not completely suited for beginners since the author's generalizations are at times aimed at linguists. The grammar that comes closest to the concept of a beginner's grammar is that of C.H. Dawkin (1960), yet this grammar is extremely short, does not give examples and does not introduce the student to the intricacies of the language.The new book gives all the grammatical forms and the sentences of the present grammar in Amharic script and in phonetic transcription. The illustrative examples have a free and a literal translation. This procedure should likewise prove to be useful for the Semitist as well as for the general linguist.
