Between Two Kingdoms - Suleika Jaouadová

We all face moments that bring us to our knees: heartbreak, trauma, illness. When things don't go to plan this is the book to reach for - an inspirational memoir about what we can learn about life from a brush with death. At just twenty-two, on the cusp of adult life, Suleika Jaouad was diagnosed with leukemia and given a 35 per cent chance of survival.For the next five years, her world comprised four white walls, a hospital bed, fluorescent lights, tubes and wires. She became patient 5624. At twenty-seven, and celebrating her first year of remission, Suleika realized that, having survived, she now had no idea how to live.And so she set out to meet some of the many strangers who had written to her about their experiences of life, death, healing and recovery in response to her Emmy-Award winning New York Times column, 'Life Interrupted'. Between Two Kingdoms is the result. Drawing on Suleika's TED Talk 'What almost dying taught me about living' with over 4 million views, it illuminates universal questions about how we live, mourn, heal and grow up, and what it means to begin again.

Hungary Between Two Empires 1526–1711 - Geza Palffy

The Hungarian defeat to the Ottoman army at the pivotal Battle of Mohács in 1526 led to the division of the Kingdom of Hungary into three parts, altering both the shape and the ethnic composition of Central Europe for centuries to come. Hungary thus became a battleground between the Ottoman and Habsburg empires. In this sweeping historical survey, Géza Pálffy takes readers through a crucial period of upheaval and revolution in Hungary, which had been the site of a flowering of economic, cultural, and intellectual progress—but battles with the Ottomans lead to over a century of war and devastation. Pálffy explores Hungary's role as both a borderland and a theater of war through the turn of the 18th century. In this way, Hungary became a crucially important field on which key debates over religion, government, law, and monarchy played out. Reflecting 25 years of archival research and presented here in English for the first time, Hungary between Two Empires 1526–1711 offers a fresh and thorough exploration of this key moment in Hungarian history and, in turn, the creation of a modern Europe.

Between Two Waters - Pam Brunton

An insider critique of the food business by award-winning chef Pam Brunton, interrogating sustainability in food culture and documenting the early days of her Green Michelin Star restaurant InverWhen world-class chef Pam first opened Inver, her restaurant on the shores of Loch Fyne, she set out to discover what makes ''modern Scottish food'' - or if it even existed. This book traces Pam''s journey to answer that question and in doing so reveals what we can all gather from our culinary heritage. Part memoir, part manifesto on the future of feeding the world and a feminist critique of the food business, it documents the difficult early days of her now multiple award-winning restaurant, reflecting on how the immersive experience of ''destination restaurants'' can both help and hinder our understanding of wider land and food culture.From the soil to the kitchen, Between Two Waters interrogates the influences on what we eat: capitalism, colonialism and gender, as well as our own personal and cultural histories. Yet it also captures with real heart all that the dinner table has to offer us: sustenance, both physical and imaginative, challenges and adventure and, most importantly, communion with others.More than anything, it is a blisteringly original ...

The Avian Hourglass - Lindsey Drager

The stars are no longer visible. The Crisis is growing worse. In a town as isolated as a snowglobe, a woman who dreams of becoming a radio astronomer struggles to raise the triplets she gave birth to as a gestational surrogate, whose parents were killed in a car accident. Surrounded by characters who wear wings, memorize etymologies, and build gigantic bird nests, and bound to this town in which young adults must decide between two binary worldviews—either YES or NO—the woman is haunted by the old fable of the Girl in Glass Vessel, a cautionary tale about prying back the façade of one’s world.When events begin to unfold that suggest a local legend about the town being the whole of the universe might be true, the woman finds her understanding of her own life–and her reality–slipping ...

How to Have Impossible Conversations - Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay

In our current political climate, it seems impossible to have a civil conversation with someone who has a different opinion. Dialogue is shut down when perspectives clash. Heated debates on Facebook and Twitter often lead to shaming, hindering any possibility of productive discourse. How to Have Impossible Conversations guides readers through the process of having effective, civil discussions about any divisive issues--not just religious faith but climate change, race, gender, poverty, immigration, and gun control. Coauthors Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay distinguish between two types of conversations: those that are oriented toward arriving at truth, and those that may require changing the beliefs of people who do not want their beliefs changed (interventions). They then guide readers through the straightforward, practical, conversational techniques necessary for every successful conversation, up to expert- and master-level techniques to deal with hardliners and extremists. With key principles like the "Seven Fundamentals Necessary for Good Conversations," this book is the manual everyone needs to foster connection and empathy with anyone.

And out of the midst of it shone two burning points like eyes…A mysterious beauty leaves a trail of suicides in her wake; an innocent child is indoctrinated into witchcraft and depravity; the bowmen of Agincourt come to the aid of the British Expeditionary Force; animals inexplicably start killing people; and a fragment of Paradise randomly manifests in a London suburb… Welcome to the weird world of Arthur Machen, a writer that H.P. Lovecraft hailed as a ‘Master of Horror.’ Machen fervently believed in a mystical and eternal reality hidden beyond the veil of ordinary existence, that could be glimpsed by those who knew how to look. Sometimes the revelation would be beautiful, sometimes terrible. Using the mediums of horror and weird fantasy, Machen set out to unlock these visions of ‘Sorcery and sanctity.’This ...

A cultural and business history of the UFC, tracing the unlikely rise of mixed martial arts from what was derided in the ''90s as ''human cockfighting'' - more violence than sport - to a global pop culture phenomenon.Senator John McCain once decried mixed martial arts as ''human cockfighting,'' while the New York Times despaired that the sport offered a ''pay-per-view prism'' onto the decline of western civilisation. But the violent spectacle of cage fighting no longer feels nearly as scandalous as it did when the sport debuted in 1993. Today, it''s spoken of reverentially as a kind of ''human chess'' played out in real-time between two bodies and the UFC is one of the most valuable franchises in the world, worth more than any team in the NFL, NBA, or MLB and equal to what Disney paid to acquire Marvel Comics.

The Photographer's Guide to Posing - Lindsay Adler

When photographing people, you can have a great composition, perfect light, and the right camera settings, but if your subject doesn't look right-if the pose is off-the shot will not be a keeper. Posing is truly a crucial skill that photographers need to have in order to create great photographs. If you're looking to improve your ability to pose your subjects-whether they're men, women, couples, or groups-best-selling author and photographer Lindsay Adler's The Photographer's Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter Everyone is the perfect resource for you. In the first half of The Photographer's Guide to Posing, Lindsay discusses how the camera sees, and thus how camera angle, lens choice, and perspective all affect the appearance of your subject. Lindsay then covers the five most important things that ruin a pose-such as placement of the hands, and your subject's expression and posture. If you can look out for and avoid these five things, your skills (and your images) will quickly improve. Next, Lindsay dives into "posing essentials," outlining her approach to start with a "base pose," then build on that to create endless posing opportunities.

Lindsey Vonnová - Můj příběh - Lindsey Vonnová

Vůbec první autobiografie nejuznávanější lyžařky všech dob odhaluje její dosud nevyprávěné osobní příhody, její boj s depresemi i odvážná rozhodnutí, která Lindsey Vonnové pomohla překonat problémy na sjezdovkách i mimo ně. Během své bohaté kariéry pohledná Američanka vyhrála 82 závodů Světového poháru, posbírala tři olympijské medaile a sedm z mistrovství světa. Lindsey nabízí fascinující pohled na neúnavnou honbu za svými limity, při jejichž dosahování tlačila své tělo až za hranici únosnosti. Tato ikonická odvaha a vytrvalost jí sice pomohly k řadě vítězství, ale vyžádala si svou daň – samozřejmě fyzickou, ale také psychickou. Kniha tak je inspirativním pohledem na její těžce vybojovaný úspěch a zároveň upřímným zhodnocením obětí, které na své cestě musela přinést.

Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory - Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Audiokniha Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory (Velmi praktický návod, jak se domluvit prakticky s každým) Autoři Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay. Čte Jan Eisler. Zdá se, že v současné atmosféře je nemožné vést rozumnou konverzaci s někým, kdo zastává odlišný názor. Ať už zveřejňujete svoje postoje na sociálních sítích nebo mluvíte se spolužáky ve škole či s kolegy v zaměstnání (nebo jen doufáte, že přežijete ve zdraví rodinnou večeři s tvrdohlavým příbuzným), dialog skončí ve chvíli, když se vaše názory zkříží. Vyhrocené debaty pak často končí urážkami a výčitkami, přičemž obojí blokuje jakoukoli možnost produktivní diskuze. Skoro se zdá, jako by dnes všichni měli při konverzaci stále prst připravený na spoušti zbraně. V audioknize Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory autoři Peter Boghossian a James Lindsay seznamují čtenáře s přímočarými a praktickými konverzačními technikami, které jsou nezbytné k vedení rozhovorů na různá kontroverzní témata jako jsou klimatická změna, náboženské přesvědčení, genderová identita, rasová otázka, chudoba, imigrace nebo otázka kontroly prodeje střelných zbraní. Boghossian a Lindsay vás naučí, jak vzbudit u partnera během dialogu pochybnosti a jak následně otevřít jeho mysl. Postupně provádějí čtenáře různými úrovněmi konverzace – od úplných základů, jakými jsou rady a návody pro vedení kvalitního dialogu, až po ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Mighty Warrior Kings - Philip J Potter

The Mighty Warrior Kings traces the history of early Europe through the biographies of nine kings, who had the courage, determination and martial might to establish their dominance over the fragmented remnants of the Roman Empire. The book begins with Charlemagne, who united large regions of current-day France, Germany and Italy into the Holy Roman Empire and ends with Robert the Bruce, who gallantry defended Scotland against the attempted usurpation of England. There are many famous warrior kings in the book, including Alfred the Great of Wessex, whose victories over the Vikings led to the unification of England under a single ruler, William I of Normandy, whose triumph at Hastings in 1066 changed the course of English history, while Frederick I Barbarossa led his army to victory in Germany and Italy solidifying and expanding the lands under the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Emperor. Among the lesser known monarchs discussed in the work are Cnut, whose victory at the battle of Ashingdon won the English crown and resulted in the creation of the North Sea Empire, which ruled over the kingdoms of England, Denmark and Norway, while during the reign of Louis IX of France the knights of Europe answered ...
