Audiokniha od autora: Natasha Boyd, čte: Martina Hudečková. Délka nahrávky: 12 hodin, 2 minuty. Mladá žena čelí intrikám a předsudkům v Jižní Karolíně 18. století. Skutečný příběh o síle, odvaze a zakázané lásce. Píše se rok 1739 a teprve šestnáctiletá Eliza Lucasová dostane od svého otce do správy rodinné plantáže v Jižní Karolíně. Krátce nato otec vyslyší volání Koruny a odpluje bojovat za její zájmy. Matka nevidí budoucnost nadějně a vývoj zemědělského podnikání její dcery jí dává za pravdu. Nezdolná dívka však zjistí, že zachránit by je mohlo pěstování rostliny, z níž se vyrábí indigo, nádherné modré barvivo, za které francouzští obchodníci platí velké peníze. Eliza však netuší, jak rostlinu pěstovat, a jediný člověk široko daleko, který to ví, africká otrokyně, jí nechce pomoci. Děvče musí překonávat předsudky ať proto, že je žena, nebo že je otrokářka, nebo jen holka, která překračuje meze toho, co se v 18. století považuje za slušné chování. Eliza se však nevzdává a pro svůj sen nadchne starého zahradníka ze sousedství, právníka z města a jednoho černošského mladíka, s kterým se domluví, že dva outsideři si musí pomoci. On ji naučí zpracovávat indigo, ona skupinu jeho přátel číst a psát. Autorka napsala skutečný příběh odhodlané, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A comprehensive guide to mental health from one of the UK's foremost experts. An A-Z from Anxiety to Zero F**ks Given.‘Am I normal?’‘What’s an anxiety disorder?’‘Does therapy work?’These are just a few of the questions Natasha Devon is asked as she travels the UK campaigning for better mental health awareness and provision. Here, Natasha calls upon experts in the fields of psychology, neuroscience and anthropology to debunk and demystify the full spectrum of mental health. From A (Anxiety) to Z (Zero F**ks Given – or the art of having high self-esteem) via everything from body image and gender to differentiating ‘sadness’ from ‘depression’.Statistically, one in three of us will experience symptoms of a mental illness during our lifetimes. Yet all of us have a brain, and so we ALL have mental health – regardless of age, sexuality, race or background. The past few years have seen an explosion in awareness, yet it seems there is still widespread confusion.A Beginner's Guide to Being Mental is for anyone who wants to have this essential conversation, written as only Natasha - with her combination of expertise, personal experience and humour - knows how.

The infamous literary hoax that fooled the art worldOn January 8 1960, artist Nat Tate set out to burn his entire life''s work. Four days later he jumped off a Staten Island ferry, killing himself. His body was never found. When William Boyd published his biography of Abstract Expressionist Nat Tate, tributes poured in from a whole host of artists and critics in the New York art world. They toasted the troubled genius in a Manhattan launch party attended by David Bowie and Gore Vidal. But Nat Tate never existed. The book was a hoax. Will Boyd''s biography of a fake artist is a brilliant probe into the politics of authenticity and reputation in the modern art scene. It is a playful and intelligent insight into the fascinating, often cryptic world of modern art.

An existential manual for tragic optimists, can-do pessimists, and compassionate doomers WITH GLOBAL WARMING projected to rocket past the 1.5°C limit, lifelong activist Andrew Boyd is thrown into a crisis of hope, and off on a quest to learn how to live with the "impossible news" of our climate doom.He searches out eight leading climate thinkers — from collapse-psychologist Jamey Hecht to grassroots strategist adrienne maree brown, eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, and Indigenous botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer — asking them: "Is it really the end of the world? and if so, now what?"With gallows humor and a broken heart, Boyd steers readers through their climate angst as he walks his own. From storm-battered coastlines to pipeline blockades and "hopelessness workshops," he maps out our existential options, and tackles some familiar dilemmas: "Should I bring kids into such a world?" "Can I lose hope when others can''t afford to?" and "Why the fuck am I recycling?"He finds answers that will surprise, inspire, and maybe even make you laugh in this insightful and irreverent guide for achieving a "better catastrophe."AWARDSBRONZE | 2023 Living Now Book Awards: Social Activism / Charity

Boyd Varty, a lion tracker and life coach, reveals how the wisdom from the ancient art of tracking can guide your personal transformation and teach you how to recognize these essential ingredients in a meaningful life.Know how to navigate, don't worry about the destination, and stay alert. These are just a few of the strategies that contribute to both successful lion tracking and a life of fulfillment.

Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry Former U.S. Poet Laureate, Natasha Trethewey’s Native Guard is a deeply personal volume that brings together two legacies of the Deep South. Through elegaic verse that honors her mother and tells of her own fraught childhood, Natasha Trethewey confronts the racial legacy of her native Deep South—where one of the first black regiments, The Louisiana Native Guards, was called into service during the Civil War. The title of the collection refers to the black regiment whose role in the Civil War has been largely overlooked in African American history. As a child in Gulfport, Mississippi, in the 1960s, Trethewey could gaze across the water to the fort on Ship Island where Confederate captives once were guarded by black soldiers serving the Union cause. The racial legacy of the South touched Trethewey’s life on a much more immediate level, too. Many of the poems in Native Guard pay loving tribute to her mother, whose marriage to a white man was illegal in her native Mississippi in the 1960s. Years after her mother’s tragic death, Trethewey reclaims her memory in this exploration of personal history, just as she reclaims the voices of the black ... Unknown localization key: "more"
