In her first book, she will inspire readers to follow their creative impulses and make their own rules. Let yourself be transported with the dreamy, fantastical homes arranged by theme in Wonderland. "Fearless Romantic" features Thornton's own gorgeous city house. "In Here Comes the Sun," peek into an over-the-top tropical vacation home that's centered on citrus. Look for her to misbehave a bit in "Good to be Bad." If refinement is more your cup of tea, the polished settings in "The New Formal" are fit for a queen. Plus take a deep dive into the most colorful technicolor homes she's ever designed in "Super Saturated." With outstanding photography from A-list photog-raphers including Thomas Loof, Bjorn Wallander, Annie Schlechter, and Melanie Acevedo, and styling by AD contributor Mieke ten Have, Wonderlandis a celebration of personal expression and fearless escapism.

    Instant National Best SellerA PBS News Hour-New York Times Book Club Pick!"Excellent." (San Francisco Chronicle)"Brotopia is more than a business book. Silicon Valley holds extraordinary power over our present lives as well as whatever utopia (or nightmare) might come next." (New York Times)Silicon Valley is a modern utopia where anyone can change the world. Unless you're a woman.For women in tech, Silicon Valley is not a fantasy land of unicorns, virtual reality rainbows, and 3D-printed lollipops, where millions of dollars grow on trees. It's a "Brotopia," where men hold all the cards and make all the rules. Vastly outnumbered, women face toxic workplaces rife with discrimination and sexual harassment, where investors take meetings in hot tubs and network at sex parties.In this powerful exposé, Bloomberg TV journalist Emily Chang reveals how Silicon Valley got so sexist despite its utopian ideals, why bro culture endures despite decades of companies claiming the moral high ground (Don't Be Evil! Connect the World!)--and how women are finally starting to speak out and fight back.Drawing on her deep network of Silicon Valley insiders, Chang opens the boardroom doors of male-dominated venture capital firms like Kleiner Perkins, the subject of Ellen Pao's high-profile gender discrimination lawsuit, and Sequoia, where a partner once famously said they "won't lower their standards" just to hire women. Interviews with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, and former Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer--who got their start at Google, where just one in five engineers is a woman--reveal just how hard it is to crack the Silicon Ceiling. And Chang shows how women such as former Uber engineer Susan Fowler, entrepreneur Niniane Wang, and game developer Brianna Wu, have risked their careers and sometimes their lives to pave a way for other women.Silicon Valley's aggressive, mi ungekürzt.

    Volume 1: When Lori told Beth about her idea of moving into a retirement community and becoming roommates, Beth wasn't too excited at first. "You want to live in a place with a bunch of old people? I thought we were into young, fresh tight hot guys and gals?" Beth asked Lori. "We are, but this place is amazing. Hot tubs, 24-hour pool access, a gym, and really cheap to live in. Imagine all the fun we could have! Besides, think of the young people we could seduce when they come and visit their families," Lori replied. Beth remembers the first time she was with a young, hot young stud. It was several years ago and from then on she was hooker. Volume 2: Lori and Beth had been living in their new home in the retirement community for two weeks now, their sexual appetites becoming more and more insatiable every minute. These 55-year-old ladies run an ad for young guys and girls interested in being submissive to a pair of older women and they go through a list of people that apply to be dominated and they really love guys and young girls. These women are the talk of the card games and luncheons the other older retirees host. They love to show off their younger girls they accumulate through these ads by taking away their bikinis in the hot tub or pool and making them go up to other older women. Volume 3: Beth and Lori had taken Steve and dressed him up as a woman, took him over to his friend's house and told them that "Cherry", Steve's whore name, was a whore in training and needed critique on "her" techniques. Little did Steve's three best friends know that it was, in fact, their long time best friend who was in front of them. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathryn Ricks.

    An insightful and devastating account of how Wall Street lost its way from an insider who experienced the culture of Goldman Sachs first-hand. On March 14, 2012, more than 3 million people read Greg Smith's bombshell op-ed in the New York Times titled "Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs." The column immediately went viral, became a worldwide trending topic on Twitter, and drew passionate responses from former Fed chairman Paul Volcker, legendary General Electric CEO Jack Welch, and New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg. Mostly, though, it hit a nerve among the general public who question the role of Wall Street in society - and the callous "take-the-money-and-run" mentality that brought the world economy to its knees a few short years ago. Smith now picks up where his op-ed left off. His story begins in the summer of 2000, when an idealistic 21-year-old arrives as an intern at Goldman Sachs and learns about the firm's Business Principle number one: Our clients' interests always come first. This remains Smith's mantra as he rises from intern to analyst to sales trader, with clients controlling assets of more than a trillion dollars. From the shenanigans of his summer internship during the technology bubble to Las Vegas hot tubs and the excesses of the real estate boom; from the career lifeline he received from an NFL Hall of Famer during the bear market to the day Warren Buffett came to save Goldman Sachs from extinction - Smith will take the listener on his personal journey through the firm, and bring us inside the world's most powerful bank. Smith describes in pause-resisting detail how the most storied investment bank on Wall Street went from taking iconic companies like Ford, Sears, and Microsoft public to becoming a "vampire squid" that referred to its clients as "muppets" and paid the government a record half-billion dollars to settle SEC charges. He shows the evolution of Wall Street into an industry riddled with conflic ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Greg Smith.

    Container gardening is the procedure of growing plants solely in planters and containers (pots). Unlike the traditional method of growing plants in the ground, container gardens are displayed throughout a home, office, patio, or terrace.  You can grow almost anything in a container. Container gardening is the answer for most people who live in busy cities or those who don't have a big back yard. You can put a container anywhere.  And because it's easy, just about anyone can grow flowers and vegetables. You may not have the acreage for flower gardening or vegetable gardening, but you can grow fresh vegetables, flowers, or herbs by growing plants in pots. So, whether you live on a large parcel of land, a townhouse, or an apartment building, you can plant a garden in a container.  The creativity and possibilities for container gardening are endless because so many plants grow well in pots. By using your imagination, you can find interesting and unique ways to grow and display just about any plant. By rearranging them in various ways, you can also create an ambiance appealing to the eye and a fragrant scent to make your neighbors envious.  Container gardening is so convenient and can be much easier to manage than a traditional garden. Handicapped individuals can use container gardening and have their plants located in positions that are easy for them to access. This is something that just isn't always achievable with traditional gardening. People who are bound to wheelchairs can have their plants in pots on a table where they can easily access them. Elderly people who still enjoy gardening but can no longer manage a traditional garden can easily manage a garden that is broken up into individual pots and tubs so they can again enjoy their love of gardening.  Container gardening is also a great way to teach children how to grow and care for plants. Traditional gardening is much more involved, and children can become bored and lose int ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tyler Peterson.

    The nineteenth-century "cult of curability" engendered the optimistic belief that mental illness could be cured under ideal conditions-removal from the stresses of everyday life to asylum, a pleasant, well-regulated environment where healthy meals, daily exercise, and social contact were the norm. This utopian view led to the reform and establishment of lunatic asylums throughout the United States. The Texas State Lunatic Asylum (later called the Austin State Hospital) followed national trends, and its history documents national mental health practices in microcosm. Drawing on diverse sources-patient records from the nineteenth century, papers and reports of the institution's various superintendents, transcripts of interviews of former employees, newspaper accounts, personal memoirs, and interviews-Sarah C. Sitton has recreated what life in "our little town" was like from the institution's opening in 1861 to its de-institutionalization in the 1980s and 1990s. For more than a century, the asylum community resembled a self-sufficient village complete with its own blacksmith shop, icehouse, movie theater, brass band, baseball team, and undertakers. Beautifully landscaped grounds and gravel lanes attracted locals for Sunday carriage drives. Patients tended livestock, tilled gardens, helped prepare meals, and cleaned wards. Their routines might include weekly dances and religious services, as well as cold tubs, paraldehyde, and electroshock. Employees, from the superintendent on down, lived on the grounds, and their children grew up "with inmates for playmates." While the superintendent exercised almost feudal power, deciding if staff could date or marry, a multigenerational "clan" of several interlinked families controlled its day-to-day operations for decades. With the current emphasis on community-based care for the mentally ill and the negative consequences of de-institutionalization increasingly apparent, the debate on how best to care for the state's-and the nation's-mentally ill continues. This examination offers historical and practical insights which will be of interest to practitioners and policy makers in the field of mental health as well as to individuals interested in the history of the state of Texas.

    #1 BESTSELLER "This book is at times startling, yet very real and down to earth…I saw [Brantt] in all phases of his life and his career. I consider him a friend and an ally. Pain Killer sends a strong message."-Darryl Sutter, former NHL player, coach, and GM From the only player to be banned for life from the NHL, a harrowing tale of addiction, and an astonishing path to recovery. Brantt Myhres wasn't around for the birth of his daughter. Myhres had played for seven different NHL teams, and had made millions. But he'd been suspended four times, all for drug use, and he had partied his way out of the league. By the time his daughter was born, he was penniless, sleeping on a friend's couch. He'd just been released from police custody. He had a choice between sticking around for the birth, or showing up for league-mandated rehab. He went to rehab. For the fifth time. This is his story, in his own words, of how he fought his way out of minor hockey into the big league, but never left behind the ghosts of a bleak and troubled childhood. He tells the story of discovering booze as a way of handling the anxiety of fighting, and of the thrill of cocaine. In the raw language of the locker room, he tells of how substance abuse poisoned the love he had in his life and sabotaged a great career. Full of stories of week-long benders, stripper-filled hot tubs, motorcycle crashes, and barroom brawls, Pain Killer is at its most powerful when Myhres acknowledges how he let himself down, and betrayed those who trusted him. Again and again, he fools the executives and doctors who gave him a second chance, then a third, then a fourth, and with each betrayal, he spirals further downward. But finally, on the eve of his daughter's birth, when all the money was gone, every bridge burnt, and every opportunity squandered, he was given a last chance. And this time, it worked. It worked so well, that not only has he been around for his daughter for the past eleven years, in 2015 he was signed by the LA Kings as a "sober coach": a guy who'd been there, a guy who could recognize and help solve problems before they ruined lives and made headlines (as the Kings had seen happen three times that season). Not only did Myhres save himself, he saved others. Unpolished, unpretentious, and unflinching, Myhres tells it like it is, acknowledging every mistake, and painting a portrait of an angry, violent, dangerous man caught in the vice of something he couldn't control, and didn't understand. If Brantt Myhres can pull himself together, anyone can. And he does, convincingly, and inspiringly.
