Secret Life of Fungi - Aliya Whiteley

Fungi are unlike any other living thing—they almost magically unique. Welcome to this astonishing world. . . Fungi can appear anywhere, from desert dunes to frozen tundra. They can invade our bodies and live between our toes or our floorboards. They are unwelcome intruders or vastly expensive treats, and symbols of both death and eternal life. But despite their familiar presence, there's still much to learn about the eruption, growth, and decay of their secret, interconnected, world. Aliya Whiteley has always been in love with fungi—from her childhood taking blurry photographs of strange fungal eruptions on Exmoor to a career as a writer inspired by their surreal and alien beauty. This love for fungi is a love for life, from single-cell spores to the largest living organism on the planet; a story stretching from Aliya's lawn into orbit and back again via every continent. From fields, feasts and fairy rings to death caps, puffballs and ambrosia beetles, this is an intoxicating journey into the life of an extraordinary organism, one that we have barely begun to understand.

The Cornish in the Caribbean - Sue Appleby

The first book to look specifically at the movement of Cornish men and women to and from the Caribbean from the early days of colonialism. A fascinating subject for those with an interest in all things Cornish, be they in Cornwall, in the Caribbean, or in the wider Cornish diaspora. The Cornish in the Caribbean is the first study to tell the stories of some of the many Cornish men and women who went to the Caribbean. Some became wealthy plantation owners, while others came as indentured servants and labourers. Cornish men were active in the armed services, taking part in the numerous sea and land battles fought by the competing European powers throughout the region. Cornish officers and crew sailed on the ships of the Falmouth Packet Service which took the mail to and from the Caribbean. Methodism was strong in Cornwall and Methodist missionaries and their wives came to the Caribbean to evangelise both the enslaved and the newly free. The most striking transfer of Cornish skills to the Caribbean was to be found in mining. As Cornish mining declined, and the Great Emigration of miners and their families got underway, Cornish mining engineers, captains and miners went ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Zmizím ve tmě - Michelle McNamara - audiokniha

Audiokniha: „Budeš navěky umlčena a já zmizím ve tmě…“ „Zabiják z Golden State“ spáchal v 70. a 80. letech v okolí Los Angeles třináct vražd a znásilnil desítky žen.

Velký sen dvou malých národů - Kevin J. McNamara

Americký novinář a politolog Kevin J. McNamara se ve své publikaci zabývá okolnostmi, které předcházely vzniku Československa. Zaměřuje se zejména na dva klíčové, spolu propojené faktory, jimiž jsou diplomatické úsilí zahraničního odboje pod vedením T. G. Masaryka a dramatická epopej česko-slovenských legií v Rusku. Autor sleduje anabázi legionářů z Ukrajiny přes Sibiř až do Vladivostoku, vyzdvihuje jejich hrdinství, vojenské umění a vysvětluje čtenáři jejich přínos pro vznik nového státu. Poutavě napsaná kniha s bohatým poznámkovým aparátem přibližuje události, které jsou ještě stále poměrně málo známé.

Zmizím ve tmě - Michelle McNamara

Bestseller o pátrání po sériovém vrahovi, inspiroval stejnojmenný seriál z produkce HBO. Když všechny stopy vychladly, když byly krabice s důkazy uloženy do skladu a některé spisy skartovány, když už si neznámý sadistický predátor myslel, že unikl spravedlnosti, objevila se po třiceti letech nenápadná žena, která se rozhodla, že to tak nenechá. Byla to novinářka, jmenovala se Michelle McNamara a byla posedlá dosud nevyřešenými zločiny. Uměla psát, uměla si dávat věci do souvislostí, byla metodická, umanutá, trpělivá a dokázala přesvědčit policisty, že jim může být prospěšná. Netoužila po slávě, ale po spravedlnosti. To ona dala pachateli jméno: Zabiják z Golden State. Tohle je skutečný příběh o honu na jednoho z nejděsivějších sériových vrahů v dějinách USA, který v 80. letech terorizoval okolí Los Angeles. Tohle je příběh o posedlosti, která autorku této knihy přivedla až k předčasné tragické smrti. Tohle je příběh brutálního predátora, který si myslel, že se mu navěky podaří zmizet ve tmě…
