All Fired Up - Malcolm Castle

A unique and gloriously nostalgic account of one eventful year in the fire service for readers who loved books such as CALL THE MIDWIFE and TRUST ME, I''M A VET and the brand new ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL.Nothing about the county fire service was quite what Malcolm expected when he joined the watch in Shrewsbury. As the newest member of the service he was first in line when swans terrorised the high street - and when a flock of owls got stuck on the roof of his local pub. Eighteen years old and more than ready to rush into burning buildings to save fair damsels in distress, young Malcolm soon realised he was more likely to be jumping into slurry pits and rivers to rescue any number of unfortunate animals. But for all the embarrassing situations Malcolm found himself in there were heart-stopping dramas too - and tragic farm and house fires. As he learns on the job and begins to win the respect of the old-timers, Malcolm starts to feel that maybe, one day, he just might make it as a fireman. But first he has to catch the eye of the smiley secretary in the office opposite ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Great Big Book of Families - Mary Hoffman

The Great Big Book of Families introduces children to the fact that not all families look the same. Featuring funny artwork and wonderfully accessible text this book celebrates each family in its own unique and wonderful way. What is a family? Once, it was said to be a father, mother, boy, girl, cat and dog living in a house with a garden. But as times have changed, families have changed too, and now there are almost as many kinds of families as colours of the rainbow. From a mum and dad or single parent to two mums or two dads, from a mixed-race family to children with different mums and dads, to families with a disabled member. This is a fresh, optimistic look through children's eyes at today's wide variety of family life: from homes, food, ways of celebrating, schools and holidays to getting around, jobs and housework, from extended families, languages and hobbies to pets and family trees. The Great Big Book of Families is a brilliant introduction for children to all family types great and small.

War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy

''If life could write, it would write like Tolstoy.'' Isaac BabelTolstoy''s epic masterpiece intertwines the lives of private and public individuals during the time of the Napoleonic wars and the French invasion of Russia. The fortunes of the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, of Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, are intimately connected with the national history that is played out in parallel with their lives. Balls and soirées alternate with councils of war and the machinations of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles with everyday human passions in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power has never been surpassed. The prodigious cast of characters, both great and small, seem to act and move as if connected by threads of destiny as the novel relentlessly questions ideas of free will, fate, and providence.

Ruin and Renewal - Paul Betts

''Excellent ... much to ponder'' Financial TimesIn 1945, Europe lay in ruins - its cities and towns destroyed by conflict, its economies crippled, its societies ripped apart by war and violence. In the wake of the physical devastation came profound moral questions: how could Europe - once proudly confident of its place at the heart of the ''civilised world'' - have done this to itself? And what did it mean that it had?In the years that followed, Europeans - from politicians to refugees, poets to campaigners, religious leaders to communist revolutionaries - tried to make sense of what had happened, and to forge a new understanding of civilisation that would bring peace and progress to a broken continent. As they wrestled with questions great and small - from the legacy of colonialism to workplace etiquette - institutions and shared ideals emerged which still shape our world today. Drawing on original sources as well as individual stories and voices, this is a gripping and authoritative account of how Europe rose from the ashes of the Second World War, forging itself anew in the process.

Heretics and Believers - Peter Marshall

WINNER OF THE 2018 WOLFSON HISTORY PRIZE  Centuries on, what the Reformation was and what it accomplished remain deeply contentious. Peter Marshall’s sweeping new history—the first major overview for general readers in a generation—argues that sixteenth-century England was a society neither desperate for nor allergic to change, but one open to ideas of “reform” in various competing guises. King Henry VIII wanted an orderly, uniform Reformation, but his actions opened a Pandora’s Box from which pluralism and diversity flowed and rooted themselves in English life.  With sensitivity to individual experience as well as masterfully synthesizing historical and institutional developments, Marshall frames the perceptions and actions of people great and small, from monarchs and bishops to ordinary families and ecclesiastics, against a backdrop of profound change that altered the meanings of “religion” itself. This engaging history reveals what was really at stake in the overthrow of Catholic culture and the reshaping of the English Church.

V audioknize To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo potkáváme mladého Herriota, který zjišťuje, že realita povolání veterináře v rurálním Yorkshiru je úplně jiná než sterilní prostředí veterinární školy. Vesnická idyla pro veterináře totiž není tak úplně idyla. Některé návštěvy pacientů jsou srdcervoucí, jako třeba péče o velmi nemocného, starého psa, jehož pán už nikoho jiného na světě nemá, ale jiné zase legrační, jako Herriotovy pravidelné návštěvy překrmeného pekingského palácového psíka, který má vlastní večírky.

V roce 1941 se oženil s Joan Catherine Anderson Danburyovou, postupně se jim narodily dvě děti, James Alexandr (1942), který později přebral otcovu veterinární praxi, a dcera Rosemary (1947), která se stala lékařkou.

Stále pracuje v ordinaci Skeldale House v městečku Darrowby, cestuje mezi odlehlými farmami na svazích kopců a malebnými vesničkami v proměnlivém podnebí Yorkshire Dales a stará se o jejich čtyřnohé - a někdy i dvounohé - obyvatele, bojuje s rozmary a tvrdohlavostí svých chlupatých pacientů a s nedobytnými peněženkami jejich rázovitých majitelů.

To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo - James Herriot

Nahlédněte do kouzelného a nezapomenutelného světa Jamese Herriota, nejoblíbenějšího veterináře na světě. Už přes čtyřicet let se mohou celé generace čtenářů ponořit do Herriotových úžasných příběhů plných lásky k životu a skvělého vyprávění. Jako veterinář Herriot projížděl odlehlými kouty anglického Yorkshiru, léčil malé i velké pacienty a prožíval různá dobrodružství. V knížce To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo potkáváme mladého Herriota, který zjišťuje, že realita povolání veterináře v rurálním Yorkshiru je úplně jiná než sterilní prostředí veterinární školy. Vesnická idyla pro veterináře totiž není tak úplně idyla. Některé návštěvy pacientů jsou srdcervoucí, jako třeba péče o velmi nemocného, starého psa, jehož pán už nikoho jiného na světě nemá, ale jiné zase legrační, jako Herriotovy pravidelné návštěvy překrmeného pekingského palácového psíka, který má vlastní večírky. Herriot se jako čerstvý absolvent musí naučit pečovat o své pacienty uprostřed zimy na těch nejodlehlejších farmách, jednat s tvrdohlavými majiteli, zmatenými kolegy a starat se o kriticky nemocná zvířata a postupně objevuje úžasnou rozmanitost a nikdy nekončící výzvy veterinární praxe se sobě vlastním humorem, soucitem a láskou ke zvířatům.

Praise God, All Creatures - Jason G. Duesing

All creatures declare His worth! The doxology has been recited or sung by Christians since the late 17th century and is frequently one of the first hymns introduced to children. Praise God, All Creatures builds upon these familiar words and celebrates the many reasons for all creation to praise the Father, Son, and Spirit. While learning the words to a beloved hymn, children will delight in the joyful illustrations and will be encouraged to join the creatures on the page—from land and sea and air—as they praise the God who made them. Although Praise God, All Creatures is for children ages 0-6, the poetry is written to be read and reread by young and old and in-between. It’s a book that all Christians—regardless of their tradition—can read, enjoy, and recommend. “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD” (Romans 150:6)!

Zvěrolékař a psí historky - James Herriot - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Jiří Lábus čte příběhy o psech z knihy populárního britského spisovatele a veterináře Když se v roce 1966 objevila na knižních pultech kniha povídek dosud neznámého autora Jamese Herriota, kritika ji označila za nakladatelský zázrak. Povídky, v nichž autor líčil příhody a historky ze své veterinární praxe a zároveň vykresloval svět rázovitých obyvatel Yorkshiru, si podmanily čtenáře svým jemným humorem a životním optimismem. Herriotovi bylo v té době již padesát let a jeho životní zážitky vydaly ještě na další řádku úspěšných knih. O psaní knih snil James Alfred Wight, tak znělo jeho pravé jméno, mnoho let, ale při náročném povolání venkovského veterináře mu nezbýval čas. Do Yorkshiru se přistěhoval záhy po absolvování veterinární školy ve svých třiadvaceti letech, protože tu získal práci ve veterinární ordinaci. Jako každý začátečník i on měl mladické sny o svém budoucím povolání. Herriotovým snem bylo léčení malých zvířat, koček a psů. Narazil však na limity tehdejší veterinární medicíny, která léčení domácích mazlíčků opomíjela a za své pravé poslání považovala péči o velká hospodářská zvířata. Telení krav, ošetřování koňských kopyt a uzdravování skotu, ovcí a vepřů si mladý zvěrolékař užil více než dost. Postupně však získával i první psí a kočičí pacienty. Psi se stávali ...

Vet in Harness - James Herriot

The Yorkshire dales have never seemed more beautiful for James - now he has a lovely wife by his side, a partner's plate on the gate and the usual menagerie of farm animals, pets and owners demanding his constant attention and teaching him a few lessons along the way. All of the old Darrowby friends are on top form - Siegfried thrashes round the practice, Tristan occasionally buckles down for finals, and James is signed up for a local cricket team. 'He can tell a good story against himself, and his pleasure in the beauty of the countryside in which he works is infectious', observes "The Daily Telegraph".

Catherine the Great and the Small - Olja Knezevic

Catharine''s tragectory in life is accompanied by failures in love, family traumas and an incredible romance with handsome Sinisa. The novel takes us through turbulent times in the Balkan region, from the eighties to the present day, portraying growing up in the twilight of communism, and giving intimate insights into all that happened to the region after that.Carefully crafted characters and masterful, dynamic storytelling place Catherine the Great and the Small in the company of the very best of novels , which speak about the reality of their geographic setting and are remembered for their convincing, strong, maladjusted characters. Catherine is certainly one of them: a powerful female voice seeking her place within her family, among friends, in the cities she lives in, and constructing her unique identity as a daughter, granddaughter, friend, mistress, wife and a mother.''The splendid language of this novel is skilfully and vividly translated, and the narrative is compelling. What is also striking is the portrayal of the characters with all their flaws and foibles (and who gain our sympathy perhaps particularly because of them). This inclusiveness of vision towards both characters and places – without judgement, rejecting nothing – is a special quality. It is ... Unknown localization key: "more"
