And as a result, he''s got one or two things to tell us about how it all works; and being Jeremy Clarkson he''s not about to voice them quietly, humbly and without great dollops of humour.In The World According to Clarkson, he reveals why it is that:Too much science is bad for our health''70s rock music is nothing to be ashamed ofHunting foxes while drunk and wearing night-sights is neither big nor cleverWe must work harder to get rid of cricketHe likes the Germans (well, sometimes)With a strong dose of common sense that is rarely, if ever, found inside the M25, Clarkson hilariously attacks the pompous, the ridiculous, the absurd and the downright idiotic, whilst also celebrating the eccentric, the clever and the sheer bloody brilliant.Less a manifesto for living and more a road map to modern life, The World According to Clarkson is the funniest book you''ll read this year.

There is, after all, a whole world out there just waiting to be discovered.

Motoristický pořad Top Gear sleduje po celém světě asi 350 milionů diváků, momentálně běží i na českém kanálu Prima Cool. Za jeho mimořádnou popularitou stojí zejména hlavní moderátor Jeremy Clarkson, autor této knihy. Začal ji psát, aby se vyznal ze své vášně pro auta a také aby zjistil, co vlastně lidi k nejrůznějším strojům tolik přitahuje. A k čemu došel? Že ty nejvíce fascinující automobily, letadla, ponorky, raketoplány a další technické výtvory mají jedno společné: za každým z nich najdeme nějakého vizionářského inženýra či nadšeného konstruktéra, který svému stroji vdechl "duši" a právě ta je tím, co nás ke strojům poutá. Mimoto se od Clarksona dozvíme některé zásadní informace, například kde se nejlíp schovat v případě nukleární války či kdo by vyhrál, kdyby se v souboji utkali Superman, James Bond a Terminátor. Jeremy Clarkson (1960) je britská moderátorská hvězda a autor dvanácti knižních bestsellerů. Miluje rychlá auta, která velmi svérázným způsobem testuje, představuje a komentuje ve svém pořadu Top Gear. Miliony fanoušků oceňují jeho břitký humor, který se nezastaví před ničím a před nikým. Svou obrovskou popularitu vysvětluje lapidárně: "Žijeme v nudném světě a náš pořad je proto vítanou změnou."

Jeremy Clarkson, jedna z nejznámějších televizních osobností a bývalý moderátor motoristického pořadu Top Gear, jenž měl za jeho éry po světě stamiliony diváků, je velmi bystrý a taky vtipný novinář a publicista - a zajisté i ten nejvyšší a s nejvíce prořízlou pusou. Výbor z jeho článků představuje českému čtenáři pomyslnou a velmi vysokou laťku psaní nejen o autech, ale i o jiných příjemných i otravných jevech našeho každodenního života. Autor si nebere servítky před nikým a před ničím, ať je to ministerský předseda, ženská otázka, cyklisti, imigranti nebo nepořádek na ulicích. Vědomě a trefně se vysmívá především politické korektnosti, která ovládla Anglii i celou spojenou Evropu, a ukazuje opravdovou tvář lidí a stav našeho světa pomocí překotných, o to však legračnějších nadsázek. Jeremy Clarkson se narodil roku 1960 v Doncateru v hrabství Yorkshire do rodiny učitelky a obchodního cestujícího. Jako středoškolský student byl vyloučen ze soukromé školy v Reptonu za požívání alkoholu, kouření a nevhodné chování. Jeho prvním zaměstnáním bylo prodávat pro otcovu firmu plyšové figurky medvídka Paddingtona. Poté začal psát pro různé anglické listy, nejdříve lokální a pak i celostátní.

Welcome back to Clarkson's Farm.At the end of Jeremy's first year in the tractor's driving seat, Diddly Squat farm rewarded him with a profit of just GBP144. So, while he's the first to admit that he's still only a 'trainee farmer'*, there is clearly still work to be done.Because while he's mastered the art of moaning about nearly everything, some of the other attributes required of a successful farmer prove more of a challenge. Who knew, for instance, that loading a grain trailer was more demanding than flying an Apache gunship? That cows were more dangerous than motor-racing? Or that it would have been easier to get planning permission build a nuclear power station than to turn an old barn into a farm restaurant?But if the council planning department and the local red trouser brigade seem determine to frustrate his schemes at every turn, at least he's got Lisa, Kaleb, Cheerful Charlie and Gerald, his dry-stone-walling Head of Security to see him through.

After all, how hard could it be? Well . . . Faced with suffocating red tape, biblical weather, local objections, a global pandemic and his own frankly staggering ignorance of how to 'do farming', Jeremy soon realises that turning the farm round is going to take more than splashing out on a massive tractor. Fortunately, there's help at hand from a large and (mostly) willing team including girlfriend Lisa, Kaleb the Tractor Driver, Cheerful Charlie, Ellen the Shepherd and Gerald, his Head of Security and Dry Stone Waller.

Ale ze všeho nejlépe vím, že farmaření je nesmírně náročná, i když nic moc placená práce.“ Clarkson píše s břitkým anglickým vtipem a nadhledem, humor ho však trochu přechází, když třeba glosuje vystoupení Velké Británie z Evropské unie, které kromě jiných důsledků silně poškodilo britské farmáře. Nepropadá však beznaději a dodává optimismus všem stejně postiženým, kteří rozjížděli nové projekty, ve kterých se měly otáčet peníze, aby pak jen s hrůzou sledovali, s jak nákladným neúspěchem končí. Ale i když se něco nedaří, alespoň nás Jeremy Clarkson pobaví.

Griffins, centaurs and gorgons: the Greek imagination teems with wondrous, yet often monstrous, hybrids. Jeremy McInerney discusses how these composite creatures arise from the entanglement of humans and animals. Overlaying such enmeshment is the rich cultural exchange experienced by Greeks across the Mediterranean. Hybrids, the author reveals, capture the anxiety of cross-cultural encounter, where similarity and incongruity were conjoined. Hybridity likewise expresses instability of identity. The ancient sea, that most changeable ancient domain, was viewed as home to monsters like Skylla; while on land the centaur might be hypersexual yet also hypercivilized, like Cheiron. Medusa may be destructive, yet also alluring. Wherever conventional values or behaviours are challenged, there the hybrid gives that threat a face. This absorbing work unveils a mercurial world of shifting categories that offer an alternative to conventional certainties. Transforming disorder into images of wonder, Greek hybrids – McInerney suggests – finally suggest other ways of being human.

“Holmes could be rude, impatient, abrupt, and his intolerance of fools was legendary. I tried to show all this, all of the man’s incredible brilliance. But there are some cracks in Holmes’s marble, as in an almost-perfect Rodin statue. And I tried to show that, too. It’s difficult for me to say what I may have given to the image of Holmes. Faithful to Conan Doyle’s text, certainly. Also, I’ve tried to bring out the emotion that is there in Holmes. On the surface he seems a cold, sometimes dark, rather off-putting figure.

The Jacobite ’45 rebellion was one of the greatest challenges to the eighteenth-century British state, and the Battle of Culloden in which it culminated was certainly one of the most dramatic of the century.Based on extensive archival research, Culloden and the ’45 examines the political and military context of the uprising and highlights the seriousness of the challenge posed by the Jacobites. The result is an illuminating account of an episode often obscured by the perspectives of Stuart romance.

A personal tour of twenty of the UK’s most beguiling houses in this much loved area of western England.Author and architectural historian, Jeremy Musson, and Cotswolds-based photographer Hugo Rittson Thomas, offer privileged access to twenty houses, from castles and manor houses, as well as eighteenth- and nineteenth-century mansions, revealing their history, architecture and interiors, in the company of their devoted owners. In the footsteps of artists and designers including Humphry and George Repton, and Victorian visionary, William Morris, who inspired the arts and crafts movement, and others such as Detmar Blow, Norman Jewson, Clough Williams-Ellisand Oliver Hill, we find a series of fascinating country houses of different sizes and atmospheres, which have shaped the English identity. Each house has their own story, but their distinctive honey-coloured stone walls, set amongst rollinghills, in different ways express the ideals of English life. Most of the houses included here are privately owned and not usually open to the public. In this beautifully produced book, they can now be enjoyed through the eyes of their owners, as well as an experienced architectural historian, and an award-winning photographer.

The influence of the People’s Republic of China on world affairs is increasingly keenly felt: in Asia, in Africa, in Latin America and in Europe and North America too. But what are the reasons for China’s rise and how can the West adapt?Advantage China explores these essential questions and the political, economic and cultural factors behind the answers. From the economic and demographic pressures of China’s domestic economy to the expanding economic influence of the Belt and Road Initiative, Jeremy Garlick looks beyond Western misperceptions of China’s rise to argue for new approaches to the international political order, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

An original history of the popular movement against the War on Terror—the greatest case of “we told you so” in modern political history.  Just after 9/11, President George W. Bush climbed the rubble where the World Trade Center had stood. Surrounded by shouts of anger, he said, “The people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” With these words, Bush ushered in the War on Terror. Quickly, a global protest movement mobilized against it, reshaping the political, moral, and media landscape. Jeremy Varon’s Our Grief Is Not a Cry for War is the definitive history of that movement. Millions of Americans participated in thousands of acts of protest, from demonstrations to civil disobedience to peace encampments in Iraq. On February 15, 2003, up to 30 million people worldwide took to the streets in the largest protest in human history. But this enormous outcry was not enough to stop the US invasion of Iraq. Varon explores the limits to the movement’s power but also shows how it worked to make opposition to the Iraq War a part of public debate, hastening its end and limiting the broader War on Terror.

King of Britain for sixty years and the last king of what would become the United States, George III inspired both hatred and loyalty and is now best known for two reasons: as a villainous tyrant for America''s Founding Fathers, and for his madness, both of which have been portrayed on stage and screen.In this concise and penetrating biography, Jeremy Black turns away from the image-making and back to the archives, and instead locates George''s life within his age: as a king who faced the loss of key colonies, rebellion in Ireland, insurrection in London, constitutional crisis in Britain and an existential threat from Revolutionary France as part of modern Britain''s longest period of war.Black shows how George III rose to these challenges with fortitude and helped settle parliamentary monarchy as an effective governmental system, eventually becoming the most popular monarch for well over a century. He also shows us a talented and curious individual, committed to music, art, architecture and science, who took the duties of monarchy seriously, from reviewing death penalties to trying to control his often wayward children even as his own mental health failed, and became Britain''s longest reigning king.

The word is nearly ubiquitous: at the grocery store we shop for "sustainable foods" that were produced from "sustainable agriculture"; groups ranging from small advocacy organizations to city and state governments to the United Nations tout "sustainable development" as a strategy for local and global stability; and woe betide the city-dweller who doesn''t aim for a "sustainable lifestyle." Seeming to have come out of nowhere to dominate the discussion-from permaculture to renewable energy to the local food movement-the ideas that underlie and define sustainability can be traced back several centuries.In this illuminating and fascinating primer, Jeremy L. Caradonna does just that, approaching sustainability from a historical perspective and revealing the conditions that gave it shape. Locating the underpinnings of the movement as far back as the 1660s, Caradonna considers the origins of sustainability across many fields throughout Europe and North America. Taking us from the emergence of thoughts guiding sustainable yield forestry in the late 17th and 18th centuries, through the challenges of the Industrial Revolution, the birth of the environmental movement, and the emergence of a concrete effort to promote a balanced approach to development in the latter half of the 20th century, he shows that while sustainability draws ...

They flicker on the screen of a darkened movie theater and are shared around the campfire. They blare out in tabloid true-crime headlines, and in the worried voices of local news anchors. They are consumed, virally, on the phones in our pockets. Like the victims in any slasher movie worth its salt, we can’t escape the thrall of scary stories.
