Těm, kdož Woolfovou neznají, nabízí Alexandra Harrisová čtivý úvod do spisovatelčina díla, znalcům modernistické spisovatelky pak neotřelé a novátorské interpretace jejích velkých děl, založené na důkladné znalosti předmětu. Alexandra Harrisová (1981) vystudovala anglistiku na Oxfordu; v současnosti přednáší na University of Liverpool. Kritická biografie Virginie Woolfové je její druhou knihou; její literárněhistorický debut Romantic Moderns získal řadu ocenění, mj. prestižní cenu The Guardian First Book Award za rok 2010.

Jak se dcera dvou přistěhovalců v Kalifornii vypracovala na první viceprezidentku Spojených států amerických? Vlastní cestou. Kamalu Harrisovou a její mladší sestru vychovala svobodná matka, praktická odbornice na rakovinu, která jako devatenáctiletá emigrovala z Indie za lepším vzděláním. S Kamaliným otcem, špičkovým profesorem ekonomiky pocházejícím z Jamajky, se rozešla, když bylo Kamale jen pět let. Kamala zdědila po obou rodičích smysl pro sociální spravedlnost, po matce pak pracovní nasazení, cit pro detail, a především talent dokázat nemožné. Po skromných začátcích v Oaklandu a následném aktivistickém období na Howardově univerzitě z ní vyrostla nezdolná, pohotová, chápavá a precizní žena - obávaná prokurátorka vyhlášená svými jízlivými průpovídkami a politička schopná šikovně zvládat rozpolcenou kalifornskou politickou kulturu. To vše zachytil zkušený novinář Dan Morain, jenž sledoval život Kamaly Harrisové celých pětadvacet let, během nichž se zabýval situací v Kalifornii. Nyní předkládá první podrobný a čtivý popis Kamaliny nevšední profesní dráhy. Zároveň autor průběžně ukazuje, co Harrisová dělá, když se nikdo nedívá: zamilovává se v pozdním věku, stává se nevlastní matkou a stará se o málo známé členy své dlouholeté neformální politické rodiny, která vždycky věděla, že její osobitý styl ji vynese až na vrchol.

Gabrielle Harrisová vyrostla v rodině zvěrolékaře a posledních 25 let působila jako trenérka mořských savců, koní i psů v celé řadě zemí. Přestože strávila mezi zvířaty prakticky celý svůj život, její cesta k pochopení, jak se zvířaty komunikovat a navazovat s nimi vztahy, nebyla vůbec jednoduchá. V knize Dotknout se zvířecí duše shrnula své zkušenosti, dojmy a především konkrétní zážitky se zvířaty, které formovaly její přístup k trénování a výcviku. Podle Gabby musíme zvířata poznávat nejen hlavou, ale i srdcem. Nestačí je jen pozorovat, učit se a mít otevřenou mysl - musíme také přestat být zahledění sami do sebe a při komunikaci musíme zvířatům poskytnout jasnou a upřímnou zpětnou vazbu, která jim umožní ovlivnit směr, kterým se bude ubírat náš vzájemný vztah. Jen tak může být naše soužití smysluplné a oboustranně naplňující. O tom, jak toho dosáhnout, jakých chyb se vyvarovat a jak se naladit na tu správnou vlnu porozumění, se dočtete v její knize.

Bývalý diplomat a autor mnoha odborných publikací o mezinárodních vztazích a politice Robert D. Blackwill a bývalá poradkyně Hillary Clintonové pro záležitosti ekonomické zahraniční politiky Jennifer M. Harrisová ve své knize ukazují, že Spojené státy, tato nejsilnější ekonomika světa, při dosahování svých geopolitických cílů postupně začaly stále více opomíjet ekonomické nástroje a začaly se více uchylovat k užití ozbrojené síly a dalších prostředků. Dokládají, proč geoekonomika přestala být po druhé světové válce ve Spojených státech jedním z významných prvků zahraniční politiky a jaké důsledky to v situaci, kdy se na mezinárodní politické scéně vynořují nové mocnosti, jež pro dosahování cílů zahraniční politiky efektivně využívají široké spektrum ekonomických nástrojů, může v globalizovaném světě mít. Autoři ve své knize analyzují potenciál a reálné možnosti využívání ekonomických nástrojů k naplňování geopolitických cílů a přinášejí mnoho příkladů jejich úspěšného užití vládami zemí, jako jsou Čína, Indie, Rusko a další. Tato erudovaně, čtivě a srozumitelně napsaná publikace přináší cenné, do širokého sociálního kontextu zasazené poznatky z oblasti politické ekonomie, mezinárodních vztahů a geopolitiky.

Strhující osobní zpověď o děsivém utrpení. Přežila jsem varšavské ghetto, plynové komory v Majdanku, hrůzu Osvětimi i totální beznaděj Bergen-Belsenu. Ztratila jsem rodiče, bratry, sestry, jejich životní partnery a děti… Ale pro mě, i když je to nenormální, to není výjimečné. To, že jsem mohla dál milovat, mluvit, psát, jíst toasty, pít čaj a žít svůj život, je výjimečné. Příběh Elly Blumenthalové je hluboce dojemným a inspirativním svědectvím o přežití holocaustu a následném nalezení radosti v životě. Jak sama říká, to, že dokázala dál milovat, mluvit, psát, jíst toasty, pít čaj a žít svůj život, je pro ni daleko výjimečnější než samotné utrpení, které prožila v varšavském ghettu, plynových komorách Majdanku, hrůze Osvětimi a beznaději Bergen-Belsenu, kde ztratila celou svou rodinu. Její cesta z plamenů nacistických táborů, přes Polsko, Paříž, Palestinu a nakonec do Kapského Města v Jižní Africe, je skutečně herkulovským výkonem. Ella se z uprchlice bez státní příslušnosti stala pilířem komunity. I přes stín hanby a traumatu, které po válce prožívalo tolik přeživších, si dokázala vytvořit šťastný domov, kde jen málokdo znal plný rozsah jejího utrpení. Po desetiletích ticha je Ella konečně připravena podělit se o svůj příběh. Autorka bestsellerů Joanne Jowellová mistrně uspořádala její vzpomínky do poutavé knihy. Díky pronikavým postřehům, hluboké reflexi a pečlivé pozornosti k historickým detailům získá čtenář pocit, jako by se s Ellou setkal osobně.

Terrific. Meticulously researched. Beautifully written' LITERARY REVIEWBorn into the English Wars of the Roses, educated in the European Renaissance, enthralled by the Age of Exploration and ultimately destroyed by Henry VIII, Thomas More is one of the most famous - or notorious - figures in English history. Is he a saintly scholar, the visionary author of Utopia and an inspiration for statesmen, socialists and intellectuals even today?Or is he the stubborn zealot famously portrayed in Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall?Thomas More: A Life and Death in Tudor England is the definitive biography of this hypnotic, flawed figure. Overturning many received interpretations of the sixteenth century, Joanne Paul shows Thomas More to have been an intellectual and political giant of his age, central to the making of modern Europe. Based on new archival discoveries and drawing on more than a decade's research into More's life and work, this is a richly-told story of family, faith and politics, and a compelling portrait of a man who, more than four hundred years after his death, remains the most brilliant mind of the Renaissance. __MORE PRAISE FOR THOMAS MORE'Paul has created a portrait of Thomas More that is epic, intimate and profoundly relatable to the modern reader' LEAH REDMOND CHANG, Women's Prize longlisted historian of Young Queens'Very impressive' ALISON WEIR'Wonderful, riveting, subtle.

''Limburg describes movingly her own struggles as a new mother and the pressure of society''s expectations...Through such delicately intertwined experiences, Limburg quietly shouts for change.'' Times Literary SupplementIt seemed to me that many of the moments when my autism had caused problems, or at least marked me out as different, were those moments when I had come up against some unspoken law about how a girl or a woman should be, and failed to meet it.An autism diagnosis in midlife enabled Joanne Limburg to finally make sense of why her emotional expression, social discomfort and presentation had always marked her as an outsider. Eager to discover other women who had been misunderstood in their time, she writes a series of wide-ranging letters to four ''weird sisters'' from history, addressing topics including autistic parenting, social isolation, feminism, the movement for disability rights and the appalling punishments that have been meted out over centuries to those deemed to fall short of the norm. This heartfelt, deeply compassionate and wholly original work humanises women who have so often been dismissed for their differences, and will be celebrated by ''weird sisters'' everywhere.

If you love, you will grieve—and nothing is more mysteriously central to becoming fully human. Dr. Cacciatore is featured in the 2021 documentary series The Me You Can’t See, from Oprah, Prince Harry, and Apple TV. Bearing the Unbearable is a Foreword INDIES Award-Winner — Gold Medal for Self-Help. __ When a loved one dies, the pain of loss can feel unbearable—especially in the case of a traumatizing death that leaves us shouting, “NO!” with every fiber of our body. The process of grieving can feel wild and nonlinear—and often lasts for much longer than other people, the nonbereaved, tell us it should. Organized into fifty-two short chapters, Bearing the Unbearable is a companion for life’s most difficult times, revealing how grief can open our hearts to connection, compassion, and the very essence of our shared humanity. Dr. Joanne Cacciatore—bereavement educator, researcher, Zen priest, and leading counselor in the field—accompanies us along the heartbreaking path of love, loss, and grief. Through moving stories of her encounters with grief over decades of supporting individuals, families, and communities—as well as her own experience with loss—Cacciatore opens a space to process, integrate, and deeply honor our grief. Not just for the bereaved, Bearing the Unbearable will be required reading for grief counselors, therapists and social workers, clergy of all varieties, educators, academics, and medical professionals. Organized into fifty-two accessible and stand-alone chapters, this book is also perfect for being read aloud in support groups.

A young boy learns that art is all around us in this captivating picture book about a day at the museum. We all remember what it was like to be a child in a crowded art museum. It was hard to see, let alone appreciate the art. It got tiring. And there was so much else to look at! That’s the lesson of this ingeniously simple yet profound book about art. It is everywhere—from another visitor’s elaborate tattoos to the way the sun makes patterns of light on the floor. While other visitors are busy trying to find their way through the museum’s galleries, or fighting for room to view a masterpiece, our hero examines the gallery upside down from a bench, plays with his shadow, and makes friends with the custodian. With a wink and a nod to serious museum-goers everywhere, Joanne Liu’s whimsical illustrations remind us that sometimes the best kind of art is the kind you make yourself.

‘ Vivid, personal, upbeat – makes you feel her happiness’ - Maggie GeeA lithic love letter Joanne Bourne has been in awe of flint as long as she can remember. It was all around her where she grew up in Kent: used for garden walls, to edge drives and weight dustbin lids, as well as to build pubs, churches, Roman villas and castles. For centuries it was the only building stone available. It is also magical. Made from the remains of plankton and sea sponges, it is second only in hardness to a diamond and can be used to make fire. Part of human development for three million years, it was used as a weapon to hunt and in war, and hung as protection against thunderbolts and fairies. In a deeply personal love letter to this extraordinary ''biogenic'' rock, Bourne traces its geological, architectural and social history and invites us to roam with her in search of it on her beloved North Downs. Fusing science, poetry, history and a profound love of landscape, this is her heartfelt, thoroughly persuasive tribute to the stone she calls ''an art project of the great divine''.
