Životopisný komiks slavného kouzelníka a iluzionisty Harryho Houdiniho. Pro starší děti. Poutavý životní příběh Harryho Houdiniho, nejznámějšího kouzelníka a iluzionisty 20. století. Ještě téměř sto let po jeho úmrtí je Houdiniho jméno stále synonymem riskantních kousků na hranici smrti i neuvěřitelných úniků. Jeho schopnost dostat se ze zdánlivě bezvýchodných situací, společně s obratností, s jakou jednal ve styku s veřejností i tiskem, z něho učinila legendu své doby. Mezi nejpozoruhodnější úniky, které se dosud nepodařilo vysvětlit, patří výzva deníku Daily Mirror dostat se ze speciálně vyrobených pout, únik z nádoby na mléko, čínská vodní mučicí kobka a únik ze svěrací kazajky, kdy byl zavěšen ve výšce hlavou dolů. Jak se chudému a nevzdělanému chlapci podařilo překonat bídu a stát se největším iluzionistou 20. století? Nakladatelská anotace.

A sizzling international romance about an unlikely matchup between an Irish footballer who likes to play the field and a shoe designer with her own ambitions from Open Play author JN Welsh. After Charlotte Bowman hooks up with hot Irish footballer Eoghan O'Farrell, she doesn't expect to see him again. For one thing, she's too busy for romance. She's got her designer shoe company, a globe-trotting best friend to keep up with, and a frenetic lifestyle in New York City. But when an elite Irish soccer team reaches out to Charlotte about designing a shoe for its star player, she can't believe it. Could her random hookup be the celebrity footballer with a penchant for new cleats? Yes, as it turns out. But Eoghan isn't just a flashy soccer player. For Charlotte, he's a professional opportunity--a chance to convert her small business into a juggernaut. She's hoping they can move past the fact that they've seen each other naked. Eoghan's up for it, too, of course. But there's a reason they fell into bed that first time.

The theory of matroids connects disparate branches of combinatorial theory and algebra such as graph and lattice theory, combinatorial optimization, and linear algebra. This text describes standard examples and investigation results, and it uses elementary proofs to develop basic matroid properties before advancing to a more sophisticated treatment. 1976 edition.
