Freddie Mercury - David Evans, Peter Freestone

Kniha nahlíží na život nezapomenutelné osobnosti, a to i mimo pódium: přináší spoustu zajímavých informací a příběhů ve vzpomínkách člověka, který s Mercurym trávil prakticky každý den. "Byl jsem pro Freddieho kuchařem i myčkou lahví, číšníkem i komorníkem, sekretářkou i uklízečem... a psychologickým poradcem," píše Peter Freestone. "Scestoval jsem s ním celý svět, byl jsem s ním při jeho největších úspěších a provedl ho těžkými chvílemi... byl jsem i jeho bodyguardem, když to potřeboval a na konci jeho života jsem se přirozeně stal jedním z jeho ošetřovatelů." Peter Freestone pracoval jako zpěvákův osobní asistent v letech 1979 až 1991. Žil s ním v Londýně, Mnichově i New Yorku. A byl s ním, když umíral. Tato kniha je jednou z nejdůvěrnějších vzpomínek, jaká kdy byla o Mercurym napsána.

A Year of Biblical Womanhood - Rachel Held Evans

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERHave you ever wondered what God truly expects of women? Is there really a prescription for biblical womanhood? Does the Bible''s idea of womanhood have a place in modern Christianity? New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans embarks on a year-long study of what it means to live by the standards of biblical womanhood. Strong-willed and independent, Evans couldn''t sew a button on a blouse before she embarked on a radical life experiment--a year of biblical womanhood. Intrigued by the traditionalist resurgence that led many of her friends to abandon their careers to assume traditional gender roles in the home, Evans decided to try it for herself, vowing to take all of the Bible''s instructions for women as literally as possible for a full year.Along the way, Evans explores the rich heritage of scriptural heroines, models of grace, and all-around women of valor that we come to know in the Bible. She consults with women who practice these ancient biblical mandates in their own lives--from an Orthodox Jewish woman who changed the way Evans reads the Bible to an Amish community that taught her the true meaning of modesty.In A Year of Biblical Womanhood, Evans shares ...

Walker Evans - Svetlana Alpers

A magisterial study of celebrated photographer Walker EvansWalker Evans (1903–75) was a great American artist photographing people and places in the United States in unforgettable ways. He is known for his work for the Farm Security Administration, addressing the Great Depression, but what he actually saw was the diversity of people and the damage of the long Civil War. In Walker Evans, renowned art historian Svetlana Alpers explores how Evans made his distinctive photographs. Delving into a lavish selection of Evans’s work, Alpers uncovers rich parallels between his creative approach and those of numerous literary and cultural figures, locating Evans within the wide context of a truly international circle. Alpers demonstrates that Evans’s practice relied on his camera choices and willingness to edit multiple versions of a shot, as well as his keen eye and his distant straight-on view of visual objects. Illustrating the vital role of Evans’s dual love of text and images, Alpers places his writings in conversation with his photographs. She brings his techniques into dialogue with the work of a global cast of important artists—from Flaubert and Baudelaire to Elizabeth Bishop and William Faulkner—underscoring how Evans’s travels abroad in such places as France and Cuba, along ...

Griffith Evans 1835-1935 - Gavin Gatehouse

The life and career of forgotten Welsh veterinary surgeon, medic and adventurer? Griffith Evans, who discovered that blood parasites cause disease and met Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant. In 1880, Welsh army veterinary surgeon Griffith Evans made the groundbreaking discovery that blood parasites, then universally considered benign, were pathogenic. This was a crucial milestone in the battle against parasitic diseases in animals and humans, but Evans was spurned by his peers and colleagues. His conclusions from experiments with diseased horses were acknowledged by Koch and Pasteur, but it took many years before his achievement received general recognition. Long ignored and forgotten, restoring Evans to his rightful eminence is important for the history of veterinary and medical science in general, and Welsh science in particular. Evans’s talent for engagement with people and cultures characterized his life in Canada and India. During a long and productive retirement in north Wales, he immersed himself in local and national affairs. At his centenary in 1935, Evans received the accolades of his profession, community, and family, dying peacefully in his hundredth year. Since that time, his name has faded into obscurity.

Walker Evans: Last Photographs & Life Stories - Michael Lesy

In 1973, Michael Lesy was a young scholar whose first book had just been published. In the soon-legendary Wisconsin Death Trip he combined 1890s photographs and newspaper clippings to evoke a devastatingly tragic epoch, the real-world antithesis of the fanciful "Gay Nineties." It startled readers then and remains a touchstone of modern photographic interpretation.That year Lesy met and became close friends with the great photographer Walker Evans, who in the 1930s had collaborated with writer James Agee to create another towering landmark in the American photo-essay, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Old, frail, with just two years left to live, Evans was still urgently and obsessively photographing. "Outside the rooms he inhabited," Lesy writes, "the world was scattered with objects on their way to oblivion. He photographed them in their passage." Brief as their friendship was, it was intense and rewarding. Each admired the other; each saw himself reflected in the other: aesthetic visionaries who shared a radical belief that photographs were not flat and static documents—that "the plain truth of the images . . . wasn’t as plain as it seemed," Lesy explains. "Meanings, beliefs, and emotions lay crisscrossed under the surface of the most plainspoken photographs." Throughout ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Jak ale Tim Schwab ve své odvážné investigaci ukazuje, Gates je stále tím, čím býval: monopolistou přesvědčeným o své neomylnosti a odhodlaným vnucovat všem ostatním své představy, svá řešení a své vůdcovství. Žádný nezištný filantrop, nýbrž obchodník s mocí, chytrý inovátor, jenž dokázal proměnit extrémní bohatství v obrovský politický vliv a přesvědčit mnoho lidí k tomu, aby jeho činy velebili, nikoli zpochybňovali. Audiokniha Tima Schwaba nabourává oslnivou aureolu, která až příliš dlouho chránila nejmocnější charitativní organizaci světa před dohledem veřejnosti, a ukazuje, jak si Bill Gates za své miliardy koupil ohromující kontrolu nad veřejnou politikou, soukromými trhy, vědeckým výzkumem a zpravodajskými médii. Tim Schwab je investigativní novinář sídlící ve Washingtonu, DC. Za své průlomové reportáže o Nadaci Billa a Melindy Gatesových pro časopisy Nation, Columbia ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Australian Food - Bill Granger

The long-awaited new cookbook from the king of relaxed Australian cafe style food''Every city has one cafe that becomes the poster child for its inner spirit, and for Sydney, it is bills. Bill has a way of synthesising market produce + eggs + sunshine + freshness into something you didn''t know you wanted, but you wanted it bad.'' TERRY DURACK''Bill Granger [is] the restaurateur who is most responsible for the Australian cafe''s global reach.'' AMELIA LESTER, The New Yorker In the 20 years since Bill Granger published his first book of recipes, Sydney Food, the world has fallen in love with the joyfully casual Australian way of eating. As a self-taught cook, straight out of art school, Bill furnished his first street-corner eatery in minimalist style, serving a small but perfectly formed menu of domestic dishes around a central communal table. He captured the hearts of Sydneysiders and visitors alike, while setting an exciting new standard for cafe dining. Since then, Bill has been crowned the ''egg master of Sydney'' (New York Times 2002), the ''king of breakfast'' (The Telegraph Magazine, 2016), the ''creator of avocado toast'' (Washington Post 2016) and ''the restaurateur most responsible for the Australian cafe''s global ...

Zecharia Sitchin - Mimozemský původ lidstva - M. J. Evans

"Žádný jiný moderní myslitel nenabídl přesvědčivější, ucelenější a vlivnější vysvětlení původu lidstva než Zecharia Sitchin. Miliony lidí porozuměly skrze jeho objevy a nálezy historii lidstva. Nyní nám - naštěstí - M. J. Evans udělala nesmírnou laskavost tím, že celé Sitchinovo dílo shrnula do velmi čitelného resumé. Všichni bychom měli být velice vděční." John L. Petersen, futurista, autor a vydavatel ve FUTUREdition Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010), známý svými provokativními interpretacemi starověkých sumerských a akkadských hliněných desek, četl slova našich nejstarších předků jako fakta a po desetiletí pečlivého výzkumu ukázal, že tyto starodávné tabulky odhalují ucelený příběh o mimozemských obyvatelích Země a počátcích moderního lidstva. M. J. Evans, Ph.D., dlouholetá Sitchinova přítelkyně a kolegyně, čerpala z mnoha rozhovorů se Zecharia Sitchinem z období téměř 20 let a poskytuje hloubkovou analýzu Sitchinových objevů o Anunnacích se zaměřením na jejich aktivity na Zemi a budoucnost Země. Zkoumá genezi Sitchinova zájmu o nefily, vůdce Anunnaků, a kontroverze vyvolané vydáním Sitchinovy první knihy Dvanáctá planeta. Zkoumá také jeho výzkum rodokmenu nefilů, příchod Anunnaků na Zemi za těžbou zlata za účelem opravy atmosféry na jejich planetě Nibiru, vytvoření moderních lidí jako pracovníků jejich dolů a budování jejich civilizace na Zemi.

Jak zabránit klimatické katastrofě - Bill Gates - audiokniha

Audiokniha: „Gates předkládá vůbec nejsrozumitelnější vysvětlení toho, co je příčinou oteplování naší planety, jak měřit vliv myriády lidských činností na tento ohromující a zdánlivě nevypočitatelný problém, a konečně jak se s tím efektivně vypořádat. Je to nejužitečnější návod na řešení klimatické krize, který jsem kdy viděl.“ — Fortune O knize Nemusíte být klimatologové, abyste měli povědomí o oteplování planety a souvisejících jevech: o obdobích extrémních veder, bouří, stoupání hladiny moří, povodních, následných hladomorech a migračních vlnách. Bill Gates nás však vyzývá, že není na místě propadat strachu a bezmoci, ale naopak nahlížet na současný stav jako na příležitost postavit se pragmaticky výzvě a projít jako lidstvo další energetickou a technologickou revolucí. V knize vás seznámí s plánem snížit do roku 2050 emise skleníkových plynů ze současných 51 miliard tun ročně na nulu. Jde o velkolepý plán, ale nereálný. Gates jasně vysvětluje všechny zásadní aspekty problematiky – jednotlivé zdroje emisí, možné alternativy, technologie, které již existují, i slibné inovace, jež jsou teprve na obzoru. Nečekejte přitom výčitky ani zmar. I díky dlouholeté spolupráci s předními vědci, odborníky a politiky neztrácí Gates naději a přesvědčení, že společným úsilím klimatické katastrofě zabráníme. Mimo jiné se dozvíte: - Jaký je podíl jednotlivých odvětví lidské ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Do I Make Myself Clear? - Harold Evans

Harold Evans has edited everything from the urgent files of battlefield reporters to the complex thought processes of Henry Kissinger, and he has been knighted for his services to journalism. In Do I Make Myself Clear?, his definitive guide to writing well, Evans brings his indispensable insight to the art of clear communication.The right words are oxygen to our ideas, but the digital era, with all of its TTYL, LMK and WTF, has been cutting off that oxygen flow. The compulsion to be precise has vanished from our culture, and in writing of all kinds we see a trend towards more - more speed and more information, but far less clarity. Evans provides practical examples of how editing and rewriting can make for better communication, even in the digital age. Do I Make Myself Clear? is an essential text, and one that will provide every reader an editor at their shoulder.

Bible Stories - Gavin Evans

Beginning with the rise of modern Pentecostalism before tracking back 2,500 years, author and academic Gavin Evans traces the history of the Abrahamic faiths, Christianity, Judaism and Islam. In this book he explores the New Testament, Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an. Delving into recent archaeological research, Bible Stories presents evidence that tales such as those of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and also Moses, Joshua and the Exodus, were entirely mythological. Robust interrogation of the evidence allows Evans to go further still, casting doubt on the Jesus story and arguing that even if he did exist as a historical figure, we know next to nothing about him. As well as examining these key religious texts, Bible Stories also holds modern atheism to account. Critiquing the work of some of its most ardent advocates, Evans rejects a militant approach and makes a compelling argument for a softer, more tolerant atheism.

Patchwork - Kate Evans

From acclaimed graphic novelist Kate Evans, author of Red Rosa, comes a graphic biography of Jane Austen. Publishing on the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth.In the later years of her life, Jane Austen created a quilt. Acclaimed graphic novelist Kate Evans takes the fabrics of this patchwork coverlet and uses them to illustrate a beautiful, brilliantly immersive and compelling comic-book retelling of Jane Austen’s life. Evans patchworks together the narrative from Austen’s own words, seamlessly interweaving snippets from her letters and her stories, and tells her life story from the cradle to the grave, including riotously joyous comic excerpts of her novels.Kate Evans’s art style – which takes inspiration from James Gillray, Raymond Briggs, Quentin Blake and Beatrix Potter – and her incredible eye for historical detail, costume, architecture, even the fonts on the page, add up to a quintessentially English vision of Austen’s world. There is even an embroidered chapter, where the artwork is created in thread paintings. The whole combines to create a unique and original work of biographical scholarship which gives fresh insights into the impact of the events of Austen’s life on her work.
