Blacksad 2 (brož.) (Mistrovská díla evropského komiksu) - Juan Diaz Canales, Juanjo Guarnido
Blacksad je zpátky! Konečně se početné šiky fanoušků černého pantera, soukromého detektiva, který ve stylu drsné školy řeší složité případy a samotářsky se prodírá mravním bahnem světa, dočkaly. Nový svazek tvoří původní páté album série, Amarillo, a rozsáhlejší, dvoudílný příběh šestého a sedmého alba, nazvaný Pak se všechno hroutí.V příběhu „Amarillo“ dostane Blacksad za úkol odvézt bohatému Texasanovi auto na místo určení. Co se může na tak jednoduché a příjemné práci zvrtnout? Jak náš hrdina záhy zjistí, řada věcí. O nic snazší to nebude mít ani v dvoudílném příběhu „Pak se všechno hroutí“. Stavební magnát Solomon je posedlý megaprojekty a prosazuje je v New Yorku i proti vůli odborů (navíc dost prolezlých mafií). Blacksad má ochránit jednoho odborového bosse, do toho se v Central Parku hrají představení Shakespeara – a z hrobů a z minulosti může vylézt kdejaký kostlivec a překvapení. V životě každého pantera se toho může zhroutit i víc než jen most…

Tremendous - Joey Diaz
New York Times Bestseller. Outsider. Misfit. Criminal. Convict... Movie star. Family man. Comedy legend. Joey Diaz has been called every name in the book (and then some). Now, for the first time, he shares the story of his unlikely rise to fame in his own words -- with no punches pulled. Today, he stars in hit films, headlines sold-out tours, hosts the popular Uncle Joey''s Joint podcast, and is a devoted father -- but his life wasn''t always so picture-perfect. Joey ''Coco'' Diaz credits his success to his ''immigrant mentality,'' the work ethic his mother modeled for him and on which countless others have depended to survive the harsh landscape of being an outsider. Diaz wasn''t always a star, but he was always a comedian -- it just took him a while to figure it out. To be fair, he was pretty busy while he was young: helping his tough-as-nails mother in her bar, holding a gun for the first time at the age of six, and later dealing drugs and serving time. Tremendous is the story of Diaz''s life, from grueling childhood and misspent youth to finding his true calling in comedy. Immigrants, fans of celebrity tales, and comedy ...

Canada First, Not Canada Alone - Asa McKercher
Three recent Canadian prime ministers, Paul Martin, Stephen Harper, and Justin Trudeau made the same claim shortly after forming a government: “Canada is Back.” Martin promised to reinvest in world affairs. Harper was focused on the military. Trudeau meant more involvement at the UN.Each leader made foreign policy a part of their political brand because they recognized that in today's world, domestic and international politics are interconnected. Canada can no longer take care of its own interests if it ignores the world around it. This book traces the history of Canadian foreign policy from a time when positioning Canada First meant shunning international obligations to today.It highlights key decisions taken and not taken in Ottawa that have shaped Canadians' safety, security, and prosperity over the last one hundred years. Case studies focused on environmental reform, Indigenous peoples, trade, hostage diplomacy, and wartime strategy illustrate the breadth of issues that shape contemporary Canada's global realm. Together, these cases reveal a country that has benefited from diplomatic prudence and compromise even as its citizens have yearned for their elected officials to be world leaders.This book argues that, like any country, Canada must look out for its own interests first, but in the ...

Radiophonic Feminisms - Esther Diaz Martin
How Latina voices in commercial radio and podcasting subvert cultural norms and bring feminism to the fore of their work. What does Latina feminism sound like in popular culture? Drawing on case studies of commercial radio programs and podcasts hosted by Latinas and oriented toward Latinx listenership, Esther DÍaz MartÍn explores how Latina voices create female-specific aural spaces that interrupt the misogynist status quo in US mainstream media. Radiophonic Feminisms focuses on radio/podcasting as a medium in which women find methods for resisting oppressive gendered cultural imaginaries. Through their specific articulations-that is, the quality of their voices-their music choices, and the soundscapes they construct, Latina hosts since the early 1990s have offered feminist responses to a cultural moment marked by the demographic changes brought on by the political economy of migration and the social changes wrought by media in the digital age. Drawing attention to the invisible antisexist work of creating sound, and to its reception, DÍaz MartÍn bridges the epistemic insights of Chicana feminist theory and sound studies, enriching and further decolonizing our thinking about auditory meaning making.

Tommy Douglas and the Quest for Medicare in Canada - Gregory Marchildon
How and why was universal health coverage implemented so early in a poverty-stricken province in Canada? Why was its design so faithfully replicated in the national standards that ultimately shaped Medicare across the rest of Canada? Seeking to answer these questions, Tommy Douglas and the Quest for Medicare in Canada explores the history of universal health care through the life of Canadian politician Tommy Douglas, identifying the pivotal moments and decisions that led to the establishment of Medicare in Canada. The book traces the origins of Medicare back to the 1930s Depression and its devastating impact on the Prairie populations. Marchildon examines how Tommy Douglas and a new generation of reformers, radicalized by the Depression, prioritized socialized health care. The book reveals how, as the provincial party leader, Douglas leveraged support from both local and external allies to rapidly implement universal hospital insurance and lay the groundwork for a new health system. Despite strong opposition from physician and business lobbies, Douglas continued to pressure the government for federal cost-sharing of universal health coverage. Drawing on archival sources including speeches, television broadcasts, and cabinet documents, Tommy Douglas and the Quest for Medicare in Canada illuminates how Douglas’s vision, leadership, and coalition-building ...

The Wines of Canada - Rod Phillips
Wine has been made commercially in Canada since the mid-1800s but Canadian wine has only really begun to register with professionals and consumers outside the country in the last few decades, as quality has dramatically improved. Canadian wine is now being exported in meaningful volumes to the USA, Asia and Europe and since the beginning of this century the number of wineries has increased more than 250 per cent. In recent years wine regions have been demarcated (with some divided into sub-appellations), provincial wine laws have been adopted and indigenous and hybrid vines have largely been replaced by Vitis vinifera varieties in the main wine regions.After taking readers through the history of winemaking in Canada, The Wines of Canada provides an overview of the country’s wine regions, their climate, soil and other geographic conditions, and explains noteworthy viticultural and winemaking techniques, such as the practice in some regions of burying vines to protect them from extreme winter temperatures. Phillips details key producers of the main wine-producing provinces (British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia), assessing their wines and providing relevant details for those planning winery visits. The book concludes with appendices covering vintage reports, Canadian wine festivals and provincial wine-selling ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Early in the Great War, as men left Britain’s factories in droves to enlist, a new front opened at home. Struggling to keep up production, arsenals hired women to build the weapons the military urgently needed. “Be the Girl Behind the Man Behind the Gun,†the recruitment posters beckoned. Thousands of women—cooks, maids, shopgirls, and housewives—answered their nation’s call. These “munitionettes†worked grueling shifts often seven days a week, handling TNT and other explosives with little protective gear. Among them is nineteen-year-old former housemaid April Tipton. Impressed by her friend Marjorie’s descriptions of higher wages, plentiful meals, and comfortable lodgings, she takes a job at Thornshire Arsenal near London, filling shells in the Danger Building—difficult, dangerous, and absolutely essential work.

Růst - Hernan Diaz
Magnát z Wall Street a jeho inteligentní, ale křehká manželka v časech nadbytku a spekulací stoupají na vrchol newyorské společnosti. Nyní však hrozí, že právě vydaný román odhalí nepěkné tajemství jejich manželského svazku, a onen bohatý muž se ocitá jen krůček od ztráty kontroly nad svým vlastním příběhem – příběhem nenasytnosti, lásky a zrady.Růst, román složený ze čtyř konkurenčních verzí jednoho nepolapitelného příběhu, nás přivádí na pouť za pravdou, která se neustále větví a komplikuje, až nakonec nezbývá zdánlivě nic, čeho by se dalo chytit.Diaz dokazuje, že je opravdu výjimečně nadaný spisovatel. Tato kniha je zářivý kaleidoskop, který funguje zároveň jako strhující literární záhada a zpochybnění výdobytků kapitalismu. Přečtete ji jedním dechem a nebudete ji chtít odložit!

Monina tlupa 1 - Tanec přátelství - Raquel Díaz Reguerová
Koho by nefascinoval pravěk! Dinosauři, mamuti, obří přesličky!Někde tam, milion let sem, milion let tam, žili i první lidé. A než vyrostli, tak byli samozřejmě dětmi. Jak si asi takové pravěké děti hrály? Čeho se bály a měly vůbec kamarády? Tolik otázek! Proč se o tom píše tak málo knížek? ptaly se spisovatelka Raquel Díaz Reguerová a ilustrátorka Lucía Serranová. Toužily po knížce o pravěkých dětech, a tak si ji vymyslely. A když říkáme —vymyslely“, tak myslíme se vším všudy. Těšte se na dravé příšery, jaké svět ještě neviděl: tuleňoraptor je z nich ještě ten mírumilovnější.Život v pravěku rozhodně nebyl procházka růžovou zahradou, ovšem když jste v tom uměli chodit, mohla to být i docela psina. Jenže si představte, že se svět najednou zblázní. Hora začne řvát, země se hýbe a z nebe padají hvězdy. Uprostřed všeho toho zmatku se jeskynní holčička Lami ocitne úplně sama, bez svého kmene. A to je průšvih i dnes, natož v pravěku. Jak se popere s drsnými pravěkými nástrahami?

Krátký, leč divuplný život Oskara Wajda - Junot Díaz
Junot Díaz, americký autor původem z Dominikánské republiky, vyrůstající v New Jersey a nyní žijící v New Yorku, si získal nadšené zástupy čtenářů a posléze i uznání v podobě Pulitzerovy ceny v r. 2008 právě tímto románem. Hlavní postava Oskar (narážka na Oscara Wilda) je milý, ale značně obtloustlý nýmand, který v New Jersey sní o tom, že se stane dominikánským Tolkienem a že díky tomu najde konečně lásku. Možná se mu to ale nikdy nemá splnit, protože jeho rodinu už po několik generací pronásleduje prastará kletba zvaná fukú, jež je sužuje různými pohromami, smůlou a hlavně nešťastnými láskami. Oskar stále jen teprve sní o svém prvním polibku a zdá se být zatím poslední obětí rodinné kletby, když se jednoho osudového léta rozhodne, že to s fukú skoncuje. Ve jménu lásky je třeba riskovat všechno.

Postcolonial Love Poem - Natalie Diaz
WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYSHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTIONSHORTLISTED FOR THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZEPOETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATIONPostcolonial Love Poem is a thunderous river of a book, an anthem of desire against erasure. It demands that every body carried in its pages – bodies of language, land, suffering brothers, enemies and lovers – be touched and held. Here, the bodies of indigenous, Latinx, black and brown women are simultaneously the body politic and the body ecstatic, and portrayed with a glowing intimacy: the alphabet of a hand in the dark, the hips’ silvered percussion, a thigh’s red-gold geometry, the emerald tigers that leap in a throat. In claiming this autonomy of desire, language is pushed to its dark edges, the astonishing dune fields and forests where pleasure and love are both grief and joy, violence and sensuality.Natalie Diaz defies the conditions from which she writes, a nation whose creation predicated the diminishment and ultimate erasure of bodies like hers and the people she loves. Her poetry questions what kind of future we might create, built from the choices we make now – how we might learn our own cures and ‘go where there is ... Unknown localization key: "more"

This Is How You Lose Her - Junot Díaz
Junot Diaz''s new collection, This Is How You Lose Her, is a collection of linked narratives about love - passionate love, illicit love, dying love, maternal love - told through the lives of New Jersey Dominicans, as they struggle to find a point where their two worlds meet. In prose that is endlessly energetic and inventive, tender and funny, it lays bare the infinite longing and inevitable weaknesses of the human heart. Most of all, these stories remind us that the habit of passion always triumphs over experience and that ''love, when it hits us for real, has a half-life of forever.''

When My Brother Was an Aztec - Natalie Diaz
FROM THE WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYWhen My Brother Was an Aztec is a work of courage and invention – one that foregrounds the particularities of family dynamics and individual passion against the backdrop of Western mythologies and a deeply rooted cultural history. Natalie Diaz’s arresting debut explores a brother’s addiction and its devastating effects on a household, while offering a political critique of our nations and their pasts. It acknowledges absences and uncomfortable silences, as well as conjuring vivid voices and presences, from Antigone and Houdini to Huitzilopochtli and Jesus.Stolen cowboy boots, violins on fire; a mariachi band playing in the bathroom, a black bayonet carried between the shoulder blades; the beauty of busted fruit, the sight of hellish visions - Diaz both revels and reveals through her distinctive use of language and imagery, bringing to life every intimate and communal encounter, blooming abundance from scarcity. The result is a wrenching portrayal of sacrifice, want, despair and fortitude that feels truly transformative.
