Americká kráľovná - Katharine McGee

Ako môže princezná vládnuť Amerike s roztriešteným srdcom? Na čele Ameriky stojí prvý raz v histórii kráľovná Beatrice. Pre dobro krajiny sa musela vzdať lásky. Nemyslieť na svojho osobného strážcu Connora ju stojí nemalé úsilie. Každý pochádza z celkom iného sveta a Connora by na tróne po boku kráľovnej krajina nikdy neprijala. K Beatrice vzhliada celá Amerika. No ona sa cíti celkom sama a podporu necíti ani od mamy a súrodencov.

Po vítězství Ameriky nad britskou armádou nabídl lid generálu Georgi Washingtonovi korunu. O dvě a půl století později jeho rod zemi stále vládne. Čím blíže je okamžik, kdy se má z princezny Beatrice stát první americká královna, tím více ji ta představa děsí. A pak jsou tu druhorození: Samantha a Jefferson. Nikdo s nimi nepočítá, ale láska a intriky prorůstají všemi patry královské rodiny – a kolotoč vztahů, pozlátka a klevet se roztáčí naplno…

Americká princezná - Katharine McGee

Keď v 18. storočí Američania získali nezávislosť, nezvolili si Georgea Washingtona za prvého amerického prezidenta, ale vymenovali ho za amerického kráľa. Vitajte v súčasnosti. Korunná princezná Beatrice odjakživa rozumela svojej úlohe vo svete – je nástupníčkou amerického kráľovského trónu a život má naplánovaný do poslednej bodky. Vždy musí byť dokonalá, vždy usmiata, vždy vzorom Ameriky. S týmto osudom by sa zmierila, keby sa šialene nezamilovala do niekoho, s kým nikdy nebude môcť byť.

Americká krása (DVD)

DVD film Americká krása [1999]. Český dabing. Dolby Digital. Dokonalá rodina? Jen zdání. Lester Burnham se bouří proti všemu a mění pravidla hry. Radikálně. Na první pohled jsou Burnhamovi šťastnou rodinou, kde je vše zalito sluncem. Pohodlný dům, auto kvalitní značky, půvabná dospívající dcera, studující na správné škole, rodiče úspěšní ve svém povolání. Nikdo se tedy nediví, že paní Burnhamová je věčně samý úsměv – alespoň na veřejnosti. Ve skutečnosti je ale všechno jinak... Obraz dokonalosti matce Carolyn a dceři Jane neustále kazí otec Lester. Není tím ramenatým, snědým "plejbojem” a co je horší, začíná stále častěji dávat najevo, že se mu nedaří a že je nespokojen se svým životem. Dokud jen odmítá roli, kterou stovky jemu podobných odevzdaně hrají, aby měli klid, je to pro rodinu sice obtížné, ale únosné. Ještě včera nerozhodný a zakřiknutý Lester se ovšem rozhodne "krizi středního věku” řešit nečekaně radikálně. Bonusy:Film o filmu • Komentář režiséra Sama Mendese a scénáristy • Rozhovory • Trailery

How to Run an Indie Label - Alan McGee

From founding Creation Records to discovering Oasis, a no-holds-barred rampage through gigs, clubs, boardrooms, drugs and booze that shows the wild spirit of the UK indie music scene.

An instigator and motivator, a born upsetter. I''ve never met anyone like him'' Bobby Gillespie Music is like no other business.It''s about being at the right place at the right time, following your nose and diving in feet first. It''s about being plugged into the mystical electricity and about surfing on the wild energy. It''s about how to fuck up and how to survive and be sustained by the holy grail of the high decibel.It''s about never being boring.No-one captures this wild feral spirit better than Alan McGee whose helter-skelter career in music has made him a major force. His nose for danger and his ear for classic guitar rock''n''roll brought us The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Teenage Fanclub and Ride before topping out in the nineties with the biggest band in the world, Oasis. His ability to start a raw power ruckus brought the visceral danger back to a moribund mid-eighties music scene. This book tells you everything you need to know about how to be a creative force.

Creation Stories - Alan McGee

''Essential reading for anyone interested in the heady, vulgar, marvellous miasma of British music and culture in the nineties'' – Irving Welsh''A true believer in the power of music and more importantly a believer in the people that make music. He gave me and many more like me a chance to change my life'' – Noel GallagherAlan McGee''s Creation Stories is a star-studded, outrageous, funny and anarchic account of the record label he set up and the bands that defined an era, including Primal Scream and Oasis.A charismatic Glaswegian who partied just as hard as any of the acts on his notoriously hedonistic label, Alan McGee became an infamous character in the world of music in the nineties. In Creation Stories he tells his story in depth for the first time, from leaving school at sixteen to setting up the Living Room club in London which showcased many emerging indie bands, from managing the Jesus and Mary Chain to co-founding Creation when he was only twenty-three. His label brought us acts like My Bloody Valentine, House of Love, Ride and, of course, Primal Scream. Embracing acid house, Alan decamped to Manchester and hung out at the Hacienda. His drug-induced breakdown, when it came, was dramatic. But as he climbed back to sobriety, he oversaw Oasis''s rise to become one of the biggest bands in the world. Alan himself becoming one of the figureheads of Britpop. Having sold the label to Sony to stave off bankruptcy, he became disenchanted with the increasingly corporate ethos and left in 1999. Since then he''s continued to be an influential figure in the music industry, managing the Libertines and setting up a new label, 359 Music, with Cherry Red.''Studded with diamond anecdotes . . . From mixing sound for My Bloody Valentine on mushrooms, via driving motorists off the road by commissioning billboard posters of Kevin Rowland flashing his pants, to escorting Carl Barat to A&E with one eyeball hanging out of its socket, the book bursts with tall-but-true tales.'' – NME

Apple in China - McGee Patrick

*** THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *** ‘Absolutely riveting’ Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads‘Disturbing and enlightening’ Chris Miller, author of Chip War‘Hugely important’ Rana Foroohar, author of Makers and Takers‘A once-in-a-generation read’ Robert D. Kaplan, author of Waste LandAs Trump wages a tariff war with China, seeking to boost domestic electronics manufacturing, this book offers an unparalleled insight into why his strategy is embarrassingly naïve. Apple isn’t just a brand; it’s the world’s most valuable company and creator of the 21st century’s defining product. The iPhone has revolutionized the way we live, work and connect. But Apple is now a victim of its own success, caught in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers. On the brink of bankruptcy in 1996, Apple adopted an outsourcing strategy. By 2003 it was lured to China by the promise of affordable, ubiquitous labour. As the iPod and iPhone transformed Apple’s fortunes, their sophisticated production played a seminal role in financing, training, supervising and supplying Chinese manufacturers – skills Beijing is now weaponizing against the West. Investigative journalist Patrick McGee draws on 200 interviews with former Apple executives and engineers to reveal how Cupertino’s choice to anchor its supply chain in China has increasingly made it vulnerable to the regime’s whims. Both an insider’s historical account and a cautionary tale, Apple in China is the first history of Apple to go beyond the biographies of its top executives and set the iPhone’s global domination within an increasingly fraught geopolitical context.

Onward And Upward In The Garden - Elwyn Brooks White, E. B. White, Katharine White

In 1925 Harold Ross hired Katharine Sergeant Angell as a manuscript reader for The New Yorker. Within months she became the magazine’s first fiction editor, discovering and championing the work of Vladimir Nabokov, John Updike, James Thurber, Marianne Moore, and her husband-to-be, E. B. White, among others. After years of cultivating fiction, White set her sights on a new genre: garden writing. On March 1, 1958, The New Yorker ran a column entitled “Onward and Upward in the Garden,” a critical review of garden catalogs, in which White extolled the writings of “seedmen and nurserymen,” those unsung authors who produced her “favorite reading matter.” Thirteen more columns followed, exploring the history and literature of gardens, flower arranging, herbalists, and developments in gardening. Two years after her death in 1977, E. B. White collected and published the series, with a fond introduction. The result is this sharp-eyed appreciation of the green world of growing things, of the aesthetic pleasures of gardens and garden writing, and of the dreams that gardens inspire.

Od britské angličtiny se liší především: rozdílným pravopisem některých slov, částečně odlišnou slovní zásobou a výslovností. Americký pravopis ovlivnila hlavně snaha o zjednodušení a odlišení od původního britského. Typické jsou např. rozdíly v psaní ou – o – např. v britské favourite, honour a v americké favorité, honor, nebo psaní re – ér v britské centre, metre a v americké center, meter ap. Rozdílu ve slovní zásobě jsou stovky až tisíce. Ty nejznámější jsou např. výtah – BrE lift, AmE elevátor, byt – BrE flat, AmE apartment, benzin – BrE petrol, AmE gas, sladkosti – BrE sweets, AmE candy, hranolky – BrE chips, AmE French fries ap.
