Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds - Kelly A. Turner
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER—Discover the nine factors that can lead to a spontaneous remission from cancer—even after conventional medicine has failedWhile getting her Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkley, Dr. Kelly A. Turner, a researcher, lecturer, and counselor in integrative oncology, was shocked to discover that no one was studying episodes of radical (or unexpected) remission—when people recover against all odds without the help of conventional medicine, or after conventional medicine has failed and alternative methods of healing are implemented.She was so fascinated by this kind of remission that she embarked on a ten-month trip around the world, traveling to ten different countries to interview fifty holistic healers and twenty radical remission cancer survivors about their healing practices and techniques. Her research continued by interviewing over 100 Radical Remission survivors and studying over 1,000 of these cases. Her evidence presents nine common themes that she believes may help even terminal patients turn their lives around.These life-altering themes surround:· Embracing changes in your diet to reclaim control of your health, including the use of herbs and supplements· Learning to tune in to your intuition for emotional regulation, expression, and mental clarity· Instinctively increasing positive emotions and uncovering the healing power of community and social support systems· Deepening your spiritual connection to find the deepest meaning of your life—one unequivocally worth fighting forThese diverse and mesmerizing stories prove that even when medical systems tell us there is nothing left to do, there is still a beacon of hope out there. Racial Remission compassionately guides readers through an actionable system to attaining the seemingly impossible: a healthy, healing future and an unstoppable human spirit.“A personal and deeply moving exploration of the power of the human spirit and innate wisdom of the body to overcome catastrophic illness.”—Andrew Weil, M.D.

More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling.

Against the Odds - John Gribbin & Mary Gribbin
Even in the third decade of the twenty-first century, it is still harder for women to make a career in science than men. Two centuries ago, however, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, when science as we know it was just getting started, the situation was far worse. Then, the very notion of a female scientist would have been regarded as something of an oxymoron. From bestselling and award-winning science writers John and Mary Gribbin, Against the Odds highlights the achievements of women who overcame hurdles and achieved scientific success (although not always as much as they deserved) in spite of male prejudice, as society changed over about 150 years, from the middle of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century. There is Eunice Newton Foote, who discovered the carbon dioxide greenhouse effect; Chien-Shiung Wu, who discovered the law which allows matter to exist in the Universe today; and Barbara McClintock, who discovered how genes turn on and off. With a foreword from astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell, this book is not only a cautionary tale about the stifling effects of prejudice against women in science, but a celebration of those who achieved success against the odds - and an inspiration for the next generation.

All Against All - Paul Jankowski
"Expert....[Jankowski] shrewdly juxtaposes interminable peace and disarmament conferences and political events with the national mood in a dozen countries whose leaders revealed a distressing eagerness to discover the source of their misery in rival nations or undeserving minorities." — Kirkus ReviewsA narrative history, cinematic in scope, of a process that was taking shape in the winter of 1933 as domestic passions around the world colluded to drive governments towards a war few of them wanted and none of them could control.All Against All is the story of the season our world changed from postwar to prewar again. It is a book about the power of bad ideas—exploring why, during a single winter, between November 1932 and April 1933, so much went so wrong. Historian Paul Jankowski reveals that it was collective mentalities and popular beliefs that drove this crucial period that sent nations on the path to war, as much as any rational calculus called “national interest.” Over these six months, collective delusions filled the air. Whether in liberal or authoritarian regimes, mass participation and the crowd mentality ascended. Hitler came to power; Japan invaded Jehol and left the League of Nations; Mussolini looked towards Africa; Roosevelt was elected; France changed governments three times; and the victors of 1918 fell out acrimoniously over war debts, arms, currency, tariffs, and Germany. New hopes flickered but not for long: a world economic conference was planned, only to collapse when the US went its own way.All Against All reconstructs a series of seemingly disparate happenings whose connections can only be appraised in retrospect. As he weaves together the stories of the influences that conspired to lead the world to war, Jankowski offers a cautionary tale relevant for western democracies today. The rising threat from dictatorial regimes and the ideological challenge presented by communism and fascism gave the 1930s a unique face, just as global environmental and demographic crises are coloring our own. While we do not know for certain where these crises will take us, we do know that those of the 1930s culminated in the Second World War.

Every Man for Himself and God against All - Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog is the undisputed master of extreme cinema: building an opera house in the middle of the jungle; walking from Munich to Paris in the dead of winter; descending into an active volcano; living in the wilderness among grizzly bears - he has always been intrigued by the extremes of human experience.From his early movies to his later documentaries, he has made a career out of exploring the boundaries of human endurance: what we are capable of in exceptional circumstances and what these situations reveal about who we really are. But these are not just great cinematic themes. During the making of his films, Herzog pushed himself and others to the limits, often putting himself in life-threatening situations.As a child in rural Bavaria, a single loaf of bread had to last his family all week. The hunger and deprivation he experienced during his early years perhaps explain his fascination with the limits of physical endurance.All his life, Herzog would embrace risk and danger, constantly looking for challenges and adventures.Filled to the brim with memorable stories and poignant observations, Every Man for Himself and God against All unveils the influences and ideas that drive his creativity and have shaped his unique view of the world. This book tells, for the first time, the story of his extraordinary and fascinating life.

Dánský rytíř - Darja Čančíková, Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen
Vánoční příběh z pera portugalské spisovatelky, básnířky a autorky knih pro děti se odehrává v 15. století, v období rodící se renesance. Dánský rytíř, který zanechal svou rodinu na dalekém severu, slíbí, že se vrátí do Vánoc, a vydá se objevovat svět. Během své iniciační cesty Evropou postupně poznává vše, co přineslo rozkvět západní evropské kultury. Při své pouti z Dánska přes Itálii a Flandry až do Palestiny a zpět vyslechne příběh o lásce Vaniny a Guidobalda, o osudu italských malířů Cimabuea a Giotta di Bondone, o Dantově Božské komedii a jeho putování peklem, očistcem a rájem či o objevných plavbách Pera Diase. Knížka je tak bezděčným průvodcem po evropských dějinách umění a kultuře. Křehká lyrika vyprávění nemá daleko k pohádkám Oscara Wildea. Ocitáme se uvnitř dějů a jsme strženi neviditelnými nitěmi autorčina okouzlení krásou i její schopností transformovat příběh do symbolické roviny. Nejde tak jen o cestu iniciační, ale především o dlouhý návrat domů, tedy o cestu duchovní, která je, tak jak to bývá v pohádkách či ve velkých teologických příbězích, neustále narušována nečekanými zvraty. Dánský rytíř Sophie de Mello Breyner je tak vlastně něčím mezi básní v próze a teologickou esejí určenou pro mladé čtenáře.

Nepotřebuješ se změnit - Anthony De Mello
Co mám udělat proto, abych se změnil?, ptali se lidé Tonyho De Melly. Jeho odpověď vás možná překvapí: nic. Nemusíte udělat vůbec nic. Právě naopak, říká Tony, čím víc toho děláte, tím hůř. Jste v pořádku takoví, jací jste. Nezasahujte do sebe. Nic neměňte. Jen se dívejte. Pozorujte. Věci, které se v sobě snažíte změnit, ve skutečnosti potřebují jenom vaše pochopení. Když jej dostanou, promění se samy. A v té chvíli objevíte tu jedinou věc, na které se shodují všichni svatí i mystici: vše je přesně tak, jak má být.

Cesta k lásce - Anthony De Mello
Kniha meditací, pravd a myšlenek. Nejde o pouhé přečtení, ale hlubší úvahy v tichu. Myšlenky de Mella se musí žít, nejen číst, protože pak pocítíte, jak se ve vašem nitru odehrává nenásilný přerod, jak prožíváte něco obrozujícího - pochopení, a jak se ve vás rozlévá ten úžasný klid, který se v člověku rozhostí, když pozoruje hvězdy nebo východ slunce. Takový je účinek těchto klenotů duchovnosti. Stačí jen, když k nim přistoupíte s milujícím srdcem a otevřenou myslí. Lpění a pocity strachu vycházejí z ega, které je třeba rozpustit a transformovat v souladu s Přírodou.

Modlitba žáby 1. díl - Anthony De Mello
Mello pro své příběhy čerpá inspiraci z náboženských tradic křesťanství, zenového buddhismu, taoismu nebo islámské mystiky. "Lidské srdce touží po Pravdě, která je osvobozuje a činí šťastným. Proto je velkou záhadou, proč bezprostřední reakce člověka na Pravdu je nepřátelská a ustrašená. Duchovní učitelé našli způsob, jak překonat odmítavý postoj svých posluchačů - vyprávět příběh. Budete-li poslouchat pozorně, příběh vnikne do vašeho srdce a překoná překážky bránící vstupu Božího ducha."

The Name of All Things (1509879552)
Kniha - autor Jenn Lyons, 720 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná "Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it."—Lev Grossman on The Ruin of Kings You can have everything you want if you sacrifice everything you believe. Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man. Since he destroyed the Stone of Shackles and set demons free across Quur, he has been on the run from the wrath of an entire empire. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious Joratese woman who claims to know Kihrin. Janel's plea for help pits Kihrin against all manner of dangers: a secret rebellion, a dragon capable of destroying an entire city, and Kihrin's old enemy, the wizard Relos Var. Janel believes that Relos Var possesses one of the most powerful artifacts in the world—the Cornerstone called the Name of All Things. And if Janel is right, then there may be nothing in the world...

The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. A beautiful gift edition of this touching and wise classic children's book, with the original translation by Katherine Woods and full-colour illustrations. A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see the most extraordinary little fellow standing before him. "Please," asks the stranger, "draw me a sheep." And the pilot realises that when life's events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out a pencil and paper . . . and thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed the world forever for its readers. This stunning new edition of the classic children's book The Little Prince, includes the classic English translation by Katherine Woods and original colour illustrations which will capture the hearts of readers of all ages. Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. He wrote The Little Prince in the United States during a two-year self-imposed exile from occupied France. A year after the book's publication in 1943, Saint-Exupery disappeared over the Mediterranean while flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery wrote several other books that have also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods (1886-1968) produced the original English translation of The Little Prince in 1943. It was later followed by several other English translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of Saint-Exupery's storytelling.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN''S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTIONLONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTIONNATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNERNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE''An astonishing account of love, resilience and survival'' Sunday Times''A remarkable book'' New York Times''An extraordinary tale through the generations'' GuardianIn 1850s South Carolina, Rose, an enslaved woman, faced a crisis: the imminent sale of her daughter Ashley. Thinking quickly, she packed a cotton bag with a few items. Soon after, the nine-year-old girl was separated from her mother and sold. Decades later, Ashley''s granddaughter Ruth embroidered this family history on the sack in spare, haunting language. That, in itself, is a story. But it''s not the whole story. How does one uncover the lives of people who, in their day, were considered property? Harvard historian Tiya Miles carefully traces these women''s faint presence in archival records, and, where archives fall short, she turns to objects, art, and the environment to write a singular history of the experience of slavery, and the uncertain freedom afterward. All That She Carried gives us history as it was lived, a poignant story of resilience and love passed down against steep odds.

He’s a villain looking for a hero rebrand. She’s the marketing genius who can make it happen in this fantastical romantic comedy by the author of the Beasts of Gatamora series.Over two decades ago, forty-eight young, gifted superheroes fell to Earth and were eventually marketed as opposing brands: heroes and villains. Now, one exceptionally gruff bad guy is looking to hop teams. Hello, PR director Vanessa Theriot.His real name is Roland Casteel a.k.a. the Pyro. First, swap that with the less incinerating the Wyvern. Next, put him in spandex to highlight that near-godlike body. Finally, give that hero in training a heroine—if Vanessa will play the part in a pretend romance guaranteed to make the city swoon. She’s game. As shy as Vanessa is, it’s her job to be Roland’s very own Lois Lane. Who knew that fake dating would change their worlds?But falling head over heels for real makes for a dangerous shift in the narrative. A monstrous supervillain is bringing out Roland’s bad side again. This time, it’s to save a woman who, against all the odds, is becoming the human love of his superhero life.

Knight´s Shadow - Sebastien de Castell
'One hell of a good book' Conn Iggulden The Greatcoats have found the heir to the throne . . . but now they must keep her alive, against all the odds. Falcio Val Mond has completed the final task given to him by the late King Paelis: he has found the King's Charoites (well, one at least). But his task isn't over, and now he, Kest and Brasti must protect the girl from those her want her dead. That would be simple enough, if it weren't for the renegade Knights and legendary Dashini assassins, getting in their way, not to mention the Dukes, who are desperate to hold on to their power at any cost, or Trin, the merciless daughter of the ruthless Duke of Rijou and the cruel Duchess of Hervor, who is determined to be Queen of Tristia. Of course, the fact that the heir to the throne is thirteen years old doesn't help, nor the fact that every day brings Falcio closer to dying from the poison running through his veins. And then there is the Greatcoats Lament . . .

Oslnění - Rodrigue Marques de Souza
Básnická sbírka francouzského malíře a básníka Rodrigua Marquese de Souzy. Rodrigue Marques de Souza (1970) je ze všech lidí, které znám, jediný, koho podezírám, že je jakýmsi básníkem v ryzím stavu. Od hlavy k patě ztělesňuje poezii (jeho přítomnost a jeho ticho, jeho divokost a jeho něha, jeho práce a jeho půvab) natolik, že se dá říct: "poezie, to je on". Rodrigue je sám o sobě veškerou poezií. - Cédric Demangeot

Zvířecí nechuťáci - Cristina M. Banfiová
Tato knížka se věnuje zvířatům, která nejsou krásná ani roztomilá. A pokud taková jsou, tak mají zvyky, které nejsou ani trochu přitažlivé. Nepíše o nich ale proto, že by chtěla tato zvířata pomluvit nebo proto, aby v nás vyvolala pohoršení. Chce nám ukázat, jaké všechny možné způsoby si zvířata vyvinula, aby se přizpůsobila svému prostředí a zajistila si přežití, a jak je v tom příroda vynalézavá. Čtenář se tak dozví velké množství informací, které v jiných knížkách nebo v učebnicích nemusí najít, a rozšíří si své vzdělání. A možná mu pak nepříjemné chování některých zvířat nebude připadat tak odporné, bude totiž vědět, jak je pro tyto živočichy důležité a k čemu jim slouží. Knížka je dílem dvou autorek – Cristiny Banfi a Rossely Trionfetti. Cristina, která napsala text, vystudovala přírodní vědy na univerzitě v Miláně a je zkušenou autorkou učebnic a publikací pro děti. Rossela, která knížku opatřila nádhernými ilustracemi, se o přírodu a okolní svět zajímá už od dětství. Vystudovala uměleckoprůmyslovou školu a od té doby se věnuje především tvorbě pro děti.

About Bliss - Cristina Olivetti
Cristina''s son was about to embark on gender-affirming care that would likely cause infertility, when she realised the need to support both her child and the adult he would become, and give him the right to have children of his own. In doing so she discovered a future - where living your life authentically doesn''t mean giving up your fertility - that may be accessible to many, many more trans people in the coming years. Through interviews with trans thought leaders, letters to her son, and missives about the struggle for reproductive rights of trans people, as well as practical advice for parents, Cristina weaves together a tapestry of voices from the trans community to tell a story that has never been told before -- of transformation, and hormones, and hope. An amazing resource for parents of children undergoing gender affirming care, and a beautiful meditation on the euphoria and challenge of transition

Liliana's Invincible Summer - Cristina Rivera Garza
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR MEMOIRA 2023 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALISTA NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, TIME AND NEW YORKER BOOK OF THE YEAR‘Meticulously written and deeply moving . . . A triumph’ JACKIE KAY‘Absorbing and poetic’ ECONOMIST‘Full of tenderness and beauty’ MARIANA ENRIQUEZFrom one of Mexico’s greatest contemporary writers, an astonishing work of non-fiction that illuminates an epidemic of femicide in Mexico through the death of one woman.I seek justice, I finally said. I seek justice for my sister . . . Sometimes it takes twenty-nine years to say it out loud, to say it out loud on a phone call with a lawyer at the General Attorney’s office: I seek justice.On the dawn of 16 July 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza, Cristina Rivera Garza’s sister, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend and subsumed into Mexico''s dark and relentless history of femicide.She was a twenty-year-old architecture student who had been trying for years to end her relationship with a high school boyfriend who insisted on not letting her go. A few weeks before the tragedy, Liliana made a definitive decision: at the height of her winter she had discovered that, as Albert Camus had said, there was an invincible summer in her. She would leave him behind. She would start a new life. She would do a master''s degree and a doctorate; she would travel to London. But his decision was that she would not have a life without him.Returning to Mexico after decades of living in the United States, Cristina Rivera Garza collects and curates evidence – handwritten letters, police reports, school notebooks, voice recordings and architectural blueprints – to defy a pattern of increasingly normalised, gendered violence and understand the life lost. What she finds is Liliana: her sister’s voice crossing time and, like that of so many disappeared and outraged women in Mexico, demanding justice.

Love - Ronald de Sousa
Although there are many kinds of love, erotic love has been celebrated in art and poetry as life''s most rewarding and exalting experience, worth living and dying for and bringing out the best in ourselves. And yet it has excused, and even been thought to justify, the most reprehensible crimes. Why should this be? This Very Short Introduction explores this and other puzzling questions. Do we love someone for their virtue, their beauty, or their moral or other qualities? Are love''s characteristic desires altruistic or selfish? Are there duties of love? What do the sciences - neuroscience, evolutionary and social psychology, and anthropology - tell us about love?Many of the answers we give to such questions are determined not so much by the facts of human nature as by the ideology of love. Ronald de Sousa considers some of the many paradoxes raised by love, looking at the different kinds of love - affections, affiliation, philia, storage, agape, but focusses on eros, or romantic love. He considers whether our conventional beliefs about love and sex are deeply irrational and argues that alternative conceptions of love and sex, although hard to formulate and live by, may be worth striving for. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
