Proč si knihu přečíst Kniha Dávné světy , od mladého paleobiologa Thomase Halliday, představuje strhující cestu od doby ledové až po první výskyt mikrobiálního života před 550 miliony let . Kniha má celkem 16 kapitol, které odpovídají jednotlivým nalezištím, přičemž každá nese jedno obecné téma. Kromě toho v nich ale naleznete také mapy, poukazující na změny, jimiž Země prošla a ilustrace zobrazující vyhynulé druhy. Každé prostředí i živočišný druh jsou detailně popsány a vy tak získáváte pocit, jako byste se právě ocitli na jiném místě a v jiném čase . Můžete se tak podívat do savan pliocénní Keni, kde budete svědky skupiny australopitéků prchajících před krajtou na akácii nebo budete mít možnost rozhlédnout se po solných pánvích, které se díky proudu vody z miocénního Atlantského oceánu zrovna stávají Středozemním mořem. Nezůstanete však pouze ve vzdálené minulosti, ale n ahlédnete i do přítomnosti a budoucnosti . Země si totiž mnohé pamatuje, což nám právě tato kniha ukazuje. Kromě toho si také možná uvědomíte, jak se vlastně lidstvo zas až tolik neliší od měňavek či hub , jelikož všichni jsme se vyvinuli z buněk, které se přizpůsobovaly novým prostředím a všichni jsme na sobě vzájemně závislí. Kniha je skutečně významným počinem v oblasti paleobiologie. Nemusíte se ale bát přehnaně odborně psaného textu, kterým se nelze prolouskat. Přestože je kniha vysoce odborná, je psaná jednoduchým textem a velmi čtivá . Místy je až téměř lyrická s tím, jak se do příběhu zapojují autorovi myšlenky o minulosti, přítomnosti i budoucnosti. Nahlédnout do knihy O kvalitě knihy vypovídají i její recenze Dávné světy jsou fascinující cestou proti proudu času. Celkem urazíme 550 milionů let. Na cestě je 16 zastávek, každá z nich nám dá nahlédnout do dávno zaniklých světu. Kniha se neomezuje na pouhé výčty dnes již vymřelých obyvatel daného prostředí, ale řeší mnohem širší souvislosti. Jak daná prostředí vznikla, jak fungovala a co vedlo k jejich zániku. Kromě toho se dotýká i základních principů paleontologického bádání. Autor se nebojí i velmi komplikovaný problémů a s grácií je dokáže přiblížit i naprostému laikovi. Knihu bych doporučil všem, kteří by rádi nahlédli více pod pokličku paleontologie. Štěpán Pícha, Paleontolog a odborný garant Dinosauria Museum Prague Jedna z těch knih, co jsou velmi informativní, ale zároveň odvážně nápadité Elizabeth Kolbert, autorka knihy Pod bílou oblohou Pohlcující, odvážně ambiciózní příběh života na Zemi od mamutí stepi poslední doby ledové až po počátek mnohobuněčných tvorů před více než 500 miliony let. The Economist Jak kniha vznikala Jedna z prvních myšlenek, která vedla k nápadu na tuto knihu byl fakt, že když lidé přemýšlí o organismech z minulosti, mají tendenci je zařazovat do určitých rodokmenů, ale zároveň zanedbávají okolnosti doby, ve které organismy žily. V knížce se proto setkáte s inovativním přístupem, který začleňuje organismy do prostředí jejich doby. Toto prostředí je navíc detailně vykresleno, jelikož byl autor při psaní inspirován cestopisnými knihami, které si na popisu míst dávají extra záležet. O autorovi Thomas Halliday Thomas Halliday se narodil v roce 1989 ve Skotské vysočině. Patří k mladé generaci britských paleontologů, která čerpá z nejmodernějších metod analýzy zkamenělin, a nové poznatky, odborné zkušenosti i vlastní fantazii přetavil do imaginativního díla mapujícího dávno zaniklé „jiné světy“, kterými zeměkoule v průběhu milionů let oplývala. Halliday studoval zoologii na Cambridgeské univerzitě s následnou specializací v paleobiologii, ve které získal doktorát na University College London. Tam také získal Zlatou medaili Linného společnosti za nejlepší doktorandskou práci v oblasti biologie. V současné době provádí výzkum pod hlavičkou University of Birmingham a je také vědeckým pracovníkem Přírodopisného muzea v Londýně.

The classic study of Pahlavi-era Iran, written on the eve of the 1979 revolutionOriginally completed mere months before the Iranian Revolution of 1979, Fred Halliday’s study of twentieth-century Iran was not only incredibly timely but a deeply researched, thought-provoking work. It masterfully surveys the country’s uneven capitalist development, state-building and class structure, security and military apparatus, dissent and opposition movements, and foreign relations. Even decades later it remains among the most sophisticated and compelling analyses of this period of Iranian history. Halliday persuasively argues against crude interpretations of the Pahlavi regime as an enlightened and modernising monarchy or merely a dependent client state. Instead, he contends that to make sense of the Pahlavi regime and its vulnerabilities, it is crucial to understand the dialectic of dictatorship, development and the imperial geopolitics of the global Cold War. This new edition also includes six of Halliday’s essays on the Islamic Republic, demonstrating how his thinking on Iran and the revolution evolved over time.

Miss Lydia Bennet may be the youngest, but what she lacks in maturity and responsibility, she more than makes up for in energy, fun - and magic.In this exuberant reimagining of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Lydia Bennet puts pen to paper to relate the real events and aftermath of the classic story from her own perspective. Some facts are well known: Mrs. Bennet suffers from her nerves; Mr. Bennet suffers from Mrs. Bennet, and all five daughters suffer from an estate that is entailed only to male heirs.But Lydia also suffers from entirely different concerns: her best-loved sister Kitty is really a barn cat, and Wickham is every bit as wicked as the world believes him to be, but what else would you expect from a demon? And if you think Mr. Darcy was uptight about dancing etiquette, wait till you see how he reacts to witchcraft. Most of all, Lydia has yet to learn that when you're a witch, promises have power . . .Full of enchantment, intrigue, danger, and boundless magic, The Shocking Confessions of Miss Lydia Bennet, Witch, has all the irreverent wit, strength, and romance of Pride and Prejudice - while offering a highly unexpected redemption for the wildest Bennet sister.

Pradávná minulost nám zanechala stopy v podobě fosilních záznamů, které odhalují, k jakým změnám v historii Země opakovaně docházelo. Thomas Halliday využil nejmodernější vědecké poznatky k jejich rozluštění. V této knize nechává úplněji než kdykoli předtím na stránkách ožít šestnáct fosilních nalezišť. Vydejte se na průzkum Země, jaká existovala kdysi, ponořte se do zkoumání změn, k nimž došlo během její historie. Odhalte způsoby, které život našel, aby se náhlým změnám přizpůsobil či důsledky toho, že se asimilace někdy nepovedla. Autor nám v románové próze na pozadí svých výzkumů ilustruje, jak se formují ekosystémy, jak druhy spolupracují, migrují, přizpůsobují se, vymírají a jsou nahrazovány. Je to dechberoucí počin - překvapivě emotivní vyprávění o přetrvávání života, křehkosti zdánlivě stálých ekosystémů a dopadu prehistorických událostí, které nám mají co říci také o naší současné krizi.

Mluví nebo přednáší-li politik za hranicemi své země, umožňuje mu to na chvíli poodstoupit od každodenní pěny dní a povznést se nad domácí politické spory. Nesklouzne-li ke snaze pustit se do hodnocení obdobných problémů za hranicemi, naskýtá se mu jedinečná příležitost promluvit s vyšší mírou obecnosti o tématech, která jdou za horizont každodenních sporů. Přesně taková jsou i zahraniční vystoupení Václava Klause. Kniha Free Society Fatally Endangered (Svobodná společnost smrtelně ohrožena) je sborníkem anglických esejů a projevů Václava Klause, které pronesl či publikoval v letech 2014-2021 napříč celým světem. Od Washingtonu po čínský Wuzhen, od Petrohradu po Tel Aviv, od Moskvy, Soči, přes Istanbul, Paříž, Vídeň až po marocké město Dachla. "Rád bych vyjádřil své silné přesvědčení, že tato kniha se svým provokujícím názvem Free Society Fatally Endangered si najde své čtenáře, nabídne jim inspirující možnosti přemýšlet o světě okolo nás a přesvědčí je, že svobodnou společnost musíme bránit. Ne někdy zítra, ale už dnes. To je základním poselstvím této knihy", říká o knize v předmluvě Ivo Strejček.

Given the range of possibilities open to women today, what futures do adolescent girls dream of and pursue? And how do social class and race play into their trajectories? In asking young women about their aspirations in three areas—school, work, and family—Best Laid Plans demonstrates how future plans are framed by notions of gendered responsibilities and abilities. Through her examination of the lives of poor, working-class, and middle-class Black and White young women as they navigate the transition to adulthood, sociologist Jessica Halliday Hardie defines anew what it means for young women to come of age. In particular, Hardie shows how social capital, either possessed or lacked, is not simply a resource for planning for the future but a structure whose form and function varies by social class and race. As these inequalities persist into adulthood, high aspirations, social capital, and careful planning bolster some young women while hindering others. Drawing on qualitative data from a five-year period, Best Laid Plans makes the case for why we need to move beyond the individual appeal to “dream bigger” and “plan better” and toward systematic changes that will put young people’s aspirations within reach.

The most authoritative life of Mao ever written, by the bestselling author of Wild Swans, Jung Chang and her husband, historian Jon Halliday.Based on a decade of research, and on interviews with many of Mao''s close circle in China who have never talked before, and with virtually everyone outside China who had significant dealings with him, this is the most authoritative life of Mao ever written. It is full of startling revelations, exploding the myth of the Long March, and showing a completely unknown Mao: he was not driven by idealism or ideology; his intimate and intricate relationship with Stalin went back to the 1920s, ultimately bringing him to power; he welcomed Japanese occupation of much of China; and he schemed, poisoned and blackmailed to get his way. After Mao conquered China in 1949, his secret goal was to dominate the world. In chasing this dream he caused the deaths of 38 million people in the greatest famine in history. In all, well over 70 million Chinese perished under Mao''s rule, in peacetime. Combining meticulous history with the story-telling style of Wild Swans, this biography makes immediate Mao''s roller-coaster life, as he intrigued and fought every step of the way to force through his unpopular decisions. Mao''s character and the enormity of his behaviour towards his wives, mistresses and children are unveiled for the first time. This is an entirely fresh look at Mao in both content and approach. It will astonish historians and the general reader alike. ‘This a bombshell of a book’, Chris Patten, The Times‘The first great political biography of the twenty-first century’ Spectator

Parliament had to act – drastic measures were required to clean the Thames and to improve London’s primitive system of sanitation. The great engineer entrusted with this enormous task was Sir Joseph Bazalgette, who rose to the challenge and built the system of intercepting sewers, pumping stations and treatment works that serves London to this day. In the process, he cleansed the Thames and helped banish cholera.The Great Stink of London offers a vivid insight into Bazalgette’s achievements and the era in which he worked and lived, including his heroic battles with politicians and bureaucrats that would transform the face and health of the world’s then largest city.

Audiokniha: Věnováno mojí mamince a dalším šesti milionům těch, kteří zahynuli. Bylo jí necelých 16 let, když stála před nacistou a lékařem Josefem Mengelem v Osvětimi. Rozsudek smrti nad ní sice nevynesl, ale nad mámou ano. Autentický příběh jedné z posledních žijících pamětnic Osvětimi, české židovské dívky, která po válce odešla do Velké Británie, kde absolvovala psychoterapeutický výcvik u Anny Freudové. Celý svůj profesní život pomáhala traumatizovaným a zraněným dětem, takovým, jakým byla kdysi sama. Příběh postupuje chronologicky od Lydiina dětství stráveného v předválečné Ostravě přes neúspěšný pokus o útěk do Polska, pobyt v Terezíně, v koncentračním táboře Osvětim, osvobození a odchod do Británie. „Terezín nelze srovnávat s pozdější Osvětimí. Je to jako srovnávat místo, které mi bylo téměř rájem, s peklem, které později přišlo. O Terezíně jsme věděli jen to, že jde o koncentrační tábor. Slovo koncentrační mi tehdy ještě neznělo tak zlověstně, znamenalo to leda, že tam byli lidé pospolu. Terezín byl ghetto, ale přesnější představu, co znamená koncentrační tábor, člověk neměl. “ Zapomínat je snadné. Více o životě paní Lydie Tischlerové najdete v Příbězích pamětníků: www.pametnaroda.cz/cs/tischlerova-lydia-1929 V Terezíně lze dodnes najít místa, která Lydia ve své knize líčí. Památník Terezín, národní kulturní památka, tato místa a památku těch, kteří v Terezíně během válečných let trpěli, uchovává pro budoucí generace již od roku 1947. www.pamatnik-terezin.cz

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. ‘I have quite changed my mind. I am going to run away and become a boy.’In these three stories, written by Djuna Barnes under the pseudonym Lydia Steptoe, three characters find themselves on the brink of a sexual awakening – accompanied by guns, whips, and worldly innuendo.A fourteen-year-old girl plans to become ‘a virago’, until her mother intercepts her first tryst by dressing up as her male lover. A boy of the same age is lured into the forest by his father’s mistress. A woman of forty falls in love and longs to kill herself, so unbearable is the return of the youth she thought she wanted. ‘Alice’, she tells herself, ‘be a man.’Barnes makes gender and desire seem slippery and joyful – and makes the fictional Lydia Steptoe seem like a writer for our time.Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Winner - CRT Christian Book of the Year, 2023The New Testament tells us very little about Lydia, a seller of purple cloth who was living in Philippi when she met the apostle Paul on his second missionary journey. And yet she is considered the first recorded convert to Christianity in Europe. In her second work of fiction, Biblical scholar and popular author and speaker Paula Gooder tells Lydia''s story - who she was, the life she lived and her first-century faith - and in doing so opens up Paul''s letter to the Philippians, giving a sense of the cultural and historical pressures that shaped Paul''s thinking, and the faith of the early church.Written in the gripping style of Gerd Theissen''s The Shadow of the Galilean, and similarly rigorously researched, this is a book for everyone and anyone who wants to engage more deeply and imaginatively with Paul''s theology - from one of the UK''s foremost New Testament scholars.

The first and only novel by Lydia Davis, winner of the Man Booker International Prize 2013.''It surprised me, over and over, to find that I was with such a young man. He was twenty-two when I met him. He turned twenty-three while I knew him, but by the time I turned thirty-five I did not know where he was anymore.''Mislabelled boxes, confusing notes, wrong turnings - such are the obstacles in the way of the unnamed narrator of The End of the Story as she organises her memories of a love affair into a novel. With compassion, wit and what seems to be candour, she seeks to determine what she actually knows about herself and her past, but we begin to suspect, along with her, that given the elusiveness of memory and understanding, any tale retrieved from the past must be fictionBack in print at last, this is Lydia Davis''s first - and so far only - novel.

An illuminating reflection on the creative process from acclaimed fiction writer, essayist, and translator Lydia Davis“Reporting from the slipstream of her reading life, [Davis] offers less a new way to think than perhaps an old one, pushing back against mechanization and the collapse of context by reframing reading in the most particular and human terms.”—David L. Ulin, The Atlantic When asked why she writes, Lydia Davis confesses that the question makes her uncomfortable. Maybe she would rather not know. Instead, Davis considers how she writes her stories, how other writers write, and what insights the how might provide into the why.  In this free-ranging exploration, Davis discovers that one reason she writes is for pleasure: the pleasure of encountering something that demands to be treated in language, of handling and manipulating the language into the form it ought to take, and, finally, of seeing a story exist where it didn’t exist before. As she observes the processes of some of the authors who interest her the most, she finds that there seem to be as many reasons to write as there are writers: to relive an experience, to share an experience, to articulate something one has not quite comprehended.  Reflecting on an eclectic mix of thinkers, including James Baldwin, Kate Briggs, Walter Raleigh, Christina Sharpe, Knut Hamsun, Grace Paley, Josep Pla, John Ashbery, and John Clare, Davis undertakes a clear-eyed, patient inquiry into the manifold reasons we choose to put pen to paper and begin something new.
