Audiokniha: Román se soustředí na relativně malou, vzájemnými příbuzenskými a přátelskými vazbami spojenou skupinu postav. Především to jsou manželé Isabel a Dan a jejich děti; Isabelin bratr Robbie, Danův bratr Garth a jeho partnerka. Zatímco se svět kolem nich mění, členové rodin procházejí bouřemi dospívání a stárnutí, zamilovanosti a rozchodů, a učí se jít dál. A do životů už tak dost spletitých zasahuje covid se všemi svými důsledky: izolací, která problémy jen prohlubuje, všeobecnou nedůvěrou a hrozbou smrti. Křehký, komorní příběh vymezený lety 2019 až 2021 je vlastně mistrovskou sérií momentek, jejichž společným jmenovatelem by mohla být láska za časů pandemie. Láska ve všech podobách, láska podle Michaela Cunninghama.

Cunningham's classic introduction to Wicca is about how to live life magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with nature. It is a book of sense and common sense, not only about magick, but about religion and one of the most critical issues of today: how to achieve the much needed and wholesome relationship with our Earth. Cunningham presents Wicca as it is today: a gentle, Earth-oriented religion dedicated to the Goddess and God. Wicca also includes Scott Cunningham's own Book of Shadows and updated appendices of periodicals and occult suppliers.

In his bestselling book, The Language of God, Francis Collins-the director of the National Institutes of Health and the scientist who led the Human Genome Project-attempted to harmonize the findings of scientific research with Christian belief. In this response to Collins''s work, fellow geneticist George C. Cunningham presents a point-by-point rebuttal of The Language of God, arguing that there is no scientifically acceptable evidence to support belief in a personal God and much that discredits it.Written with admirable clarity for the nonscientist, Decoding the Language of God covers much of the same ground addressed by Collins in his book: the origins of moral behavior, the difficulty of reconciling belief in a good God with the existence of evil.and anthropic coincidences as evidence of God as creator.Cunningham also devotes chapters to the unreliability of the Bible as a basis for belief; the conflict between naturalistic explanations of reality, which are anchored in scientific research, and supernatural interpretations, which are not; and the many difficulties in conceptualizing the origins of the universe in terms of a personal God. Unlike recent hostile attacks on religious belief, Cunningham''s respectful, well-reasoned discussion will appeal to open-minded people across the whole spectrum of belief and unbelief.

Darryl Cunningham''s new graphic biography of Elon Musk is a riveting deep dive into the audacious mind and tumultuous journey of the world''s richest man. Using his signature pictographic style-clean lines, vivid colours, and lean panel compositions-Cunningham peels back the layers of myth around Musk to deliver a timely portrait that is provocative and informative. Spanning several generations, the book traces Musk''s journey from his family roots in South Africa and his grandfather''s role in the Technocracy movement to his current position at the apex of tech power and far-right politics. From Musk''s early education and influences, the creation of PayPal, and the meteoric rise of Tesla and SpaceX thanks to millions in government handouts, to his acquisition of X.com and his ascension as a ''dark MAGA'' influencer and kingmaker, Elon Musk: American Oligarch captures the tension, tumult, and chaos in which oligarchs thrive today. Cunningham''s award-winning clarity and style sparkle as he presents freewheeling financial and engineering concepts used by startups and tech companies. This fast-paced biography reveals the complex interactions of visionary ideas, relentless drive, and unyielding ambition. Elon Musk: American Oligarch offers a fresh, unvarnished look at Musk''s rise, aggressive leadership style, and appetite for risk-taking that have propelled him into a unique position as an unelected private business owner with unprecedented access to political power.

Román M. Cunninghama je poctou modle literárního modernismu, anglické spisovatelce Virginii Woolfové. Tak jako autorka ve svém slavném díle Paní Dallowayová popisovala jediný den v životě titulní hrdinky, i Cunningham se soustředí na jeden den v životě tří postav. Hodiny jsou mistrovským dílem - je to ovšem kniha o umírání a bezmoci, ale také o ohleduplnosti a lásce, o tom, že člověk může být hluboce nešťasten, a přesto dokáže najít i kratičké okamžiky štěstí. Za dílo získal M. Cunningham Pulitzerovu cenu a podle románu vznikl úspěšný oscarový film.

Postava Karla Koechera vzbuzuje kontroverze už od mladých let. Cunningham líčí, jak se z nadaného středoškoláka s odbojářskými sklony stal agent StB, student filozofie na Kolumbijské univerzitě a „krtek“ v CIA. Vykresluje Koechera jako člověka, který má potíž s autoritami, bouří se i v rámci StB a jeho hnacím motorem je v prvé řadě touha vyniknout, něco dokázat, a to i v obecně prospěšném smyslu slova. Byl Koecher příliš naivní? Jak se s kariérou špiona morálně vyrovnával?Po překonání nesnází čerstvých přistěhovalců si Karel a Hana Koecherovi v USA, kde strávili něco málo přes dvacet let, začali plnými doušky užívat života. Cunningham zachycuje převratné společenské změny, jež pár zakoušel na vlastní kůži, i drobné výstřelky, jako zálibu Koecherových v luxusu nebo dlouholeté provozování swingerských aktivit. Hana Koecherová, na počátku nesmělá dívka z komunistické rodiny, vyrostla vedle manžela v protřelou obchodnici s diamanty a kurýrku StB.Autor nás však skrze případy, s nimiž Koecher v CIA přicházel do styku, zavádí především do různých koutů světa, což spolu s náležitým historickým kontextem dává dohromady fascinující obraz studené války a jedinců, kteří uvázli v jejím soukolí.

An eminent historian of the Holocaust examines why Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin, though faced with mounting evidence of the Nazi extermination of Jews, were reluctant to speak out against the atrocities. The Allied leaders rarely spoke directly about the Holocaust in public. When Churchill and Stalin alluded to Nazi mass murder of civilians in early speeches, they said much less than they knew.Not until December 1942 did Allied governments issue a joint statement about Nazi Germany's policy of exterminating the Jews of Europe. Roosevelt deferred his own public statement until March 1944. Why didn't these leaders speak up sooner? Through close readings of public and private statements, Richard Breitman pieces together the competing motivations that drove each leader's response to the atrocities.All three knew that their reactions would be politically sensitive, as Nazi propagandists frequently alleged that the Allies were fighting on behalf of Jews, and that Jews were the puppet masters behind their governments. At a time of globally prevalent antisemitism, these calumnies had force. After the German invasion of the USSR, moreover, Stalin clearly wanted to focus on the threat to the Soviet state and people.At the same time, Churchill and Roosevelt realized that complete silence would prompt accusations of willful blindness. They usually finessed this dilemma by denouncing Nazi atrocities in general, prioritizing wartime constraints over moral considerations. Timely and incisive, A Calculated Restraint sheds new light on the relationship between World War II and the Holocaust.Ultimately, the Allied leaders' responses cannot be reduced to a matter of character. What they said and chose not to say about the Holocaust must be understood in light of the political and military exigencies that drove their decision-making.

A powerful collection of perspectives on the contemporary and evolving meanings of home, and how they capture both the shared and conflicting narratives that impact our country today.Home is shaped by many factors: culture, region, environment, citizenship, economics, state of mind, and more. Edited by Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, Christina De León, and Michelle Joan Wilkinson, Making Home explores the diverse perspectives on home across the United States, US Territories, and Tribal Nations to reveal how design impacts this country, its value systems, and the people who inhabit its landscapes. Positioning home not only as a place of dwelling but also as a complex and highly subjective ecosystem, contributors show how notions of home resonate through private and public consciousness to inform the shared or conflicting histories that impact our country.Probing urgent topics related to home such as colonialism, technological innovation, landscapes and the environment, and aesthetics and culture, Making Home uses the framework of design to pair investigative and practical analyses with imaginative and speculative ones. Contributors include designers, scholars, writers, artists, and critical thinkers across disciplines whose work and lived experiences illustrate specific circumstances that shape the contemporary home.Contributors:Brian Adams, AphroChic, Joe Baker, Joseph Becker, La Vaughn Belle, Frank Blazquez, Lori Brown, Michael Bullock, CareHaus, Mona Chalabi, Katrina Collins, Michelle Commander,Sean Connelly, Reverand Houston Cyprus, Design Earth, Designing Justice + Designing Spaces, Leah DeVun, Heather Dewey Hagborg, Terrol Dew Johnson, Jarrett Earnest, Sofia Gallisa Muriente, Roxane Gay, Sophia Gebara, Curry Hackett, David Hartt,Hord, Coplan, Macht, Joyce Hwang, Alan Isaac, Sandra Jackson-Dumont, Dalton Johnson,Kenneth Kuper, Ruba Katrib, Elleza Kelley, Michelle Lanier, Natalia LaSalle Morillo, Liam Lee, Brent Leggs, Dominic Leong, Sarah Lopez, Gervais Marsh, Carlos Martin, Catherine E.

One of the secrets of real magic is that it is controlled by the mind. The more things in your ritual to help your mind associate with your goal, the more powerful your ritual may be. Colored candles, scented oils, natural incenses, and more all add to the impact of the magic you wish to do. But how do you know which incense to burn? Is it possible to add scented oils together to get a more powerful oil? And how do you make your own appropriately-scented tools? The answers to questions like these and hundreds more can be found in The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews by world-famous author Scott Cunningham. This is a greatly expanded and rewritten version of The Magic of Incenses, Oils and Brews. It includes over 100 new formulas, proportions for each element of the recipes (the most requested feature from his previous book), how to substitute ingredients, and much more. Besides the formulas, it also includes the exact methods of making all of these scented tools, including how to extract the essences from the herbs. Each one of the formulas in this magic book is precise and easy to make. Do you need luck? Take 2 parts vetivert, 2 parts allspice, 1 part nutmeg, and 1 part calamus, grind them together as finely as possible, then sprinkle the powder in a circle around you, beginning and ending in the East and moving clockwise. Sit within this circle and absorb the powder's energies. Also included are other ways to use magical powders that will have you coming up with your own ideas for them, too. There is a legion of recipes for incenses. There are three for the sun and two for consecrating talismans. There are incenses for each of the astrological signs and ones to help you study better and gain success. You'll also find incenses for each of the planetary influences. There are four for Saturn alone! This compendium of magical lore is a vital tool for every magical person on any magical path, whether you are a beginner or an expert.

There’s Richard Parker, the cannibalized cabin boy whose death at the hands of his hungry crewmates led the Victorian courts to decisively outlaw a defence of necessity to murder. Dr Percy Bateman, the incompetent GP whose violent disregard for his patient changed the law on manslaughter. Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged in England in the 1950s, played a crucial role in changes to the law around provocation in murder cases. And Archibald Kinloch, the deranged Scottish aristocrat whose fratricidal frenzy paved the way for the defence of diminished responsibility. These, and many more, are the people – victims, killers, lawyers and judges, who unwittingly shaped the history of that most grisly and storied of laws.Join lawyer and writer Kate Morgan on a dark and macabre journey as she explores the strange stories and mysterious cases that have contributed to UK murder law. The big corporate killers; the vengeful spouses; the sloppy doctors; the abused partners; the shoddy employers; each story a crime and each crime a precedent that has contributed to the law’s dark, murky and, at times, shocking standing.
