bombardovani rise roger a freeman

Spojenecká bombardovací kampaň namířená proti válečné mašinérii nacistického Německa představuje ojedinělou událost v dějinách. Bylo to vůbec poprvé, kdy se vojenské síly mohly pokusit o destrukci takového rozsahu z nebeských výšin. A bylo to vůbec poprvé, kdy pokročilá technika dovolila použít tak ohromující množství bombardovacích letounů k dosažení tohoto cíle. Strategická bombardovací ofenzíva nepatřila k hojně fotografovaným událostem. Oficiální filmy a snímky letounů, personálu a náletů byly limitovány samotným faktem šílenství válečného života a neméně v případě RAF i faktem, že jeho nálety probíhaly převážně v noci. Používání osobních fotoaparátů a kamer bylo zakázáno, leč existovalo, a umožňuje následujícím generacím lepší vhled do toho, jak bombardovací perutě operovaly. Což je koneckonců i základním cílem této obrazové publikace - nastínit každodenní dramata tehdejších dní a roků. Roger A. Freeman prošel stovky oficiálních i soukromých kolekcí zachycujících britské a americké letectvo v akci. Více než 250 snímků ukazuje, jak byla vůbec poprvé válka vnesena přímo do srdce expandující třetí říše; vzdušnou ofenzívu, která pak zkrotila německé ambice; zredukovala odpor kladený spojeneckým pozemním silám a uspíšila podstatnou měrou konec konfliktu let 1939-1945 nazývaného druhou světovou válkou.

To třetí slovíčko, „kámo“, je možné dle libosti nahradit jiným, vaší přirozenosti bližším, třeba „kapišto?“ apod. Michael Freeman ve své nejnovější knize zúročil mnoho let své fotografické i pedagogické praxe a spolupráce s řadou vydavatelství prestižních časopisů i publikací. Staví před fotografa zásadní otázku: Jak jste spokojen se svými fotografiemi? Chcete se posunout dál? A odpovídá na ni jasně a konkrétně: Jde to, ale musíte probudit svoji kreativitu. Fotografující majitelé fotoaparátů jsou velmi často sváděni vějičkami typu: Tři rady (nebo pět, deset…), které hned a výrazně vylepší vaše fotografie.

Crying Freeman: Plačící drak je přístupný od osmnácti let výše. Nabízí příběh vraha, který se zamiluje do jedné ze svých obětí. Crying Freeman je kriminálka, ve které se spojuje romantika s brutální nelítostností. Je to jako příběh Romeo a Julie převyprávěný markýzem de Sade a natočený Tony Scottem. Japonsky přepálené emoce a osudovost se tu střetávají s tím, co se pohledu evropana může jevit jako naprostá amorálnost. To vše navíc naprosto precizně vykreslené s perfektně rozfázovanými akčními scénami. Text praví: Jmenuje se Jo Hinomura a je nájemným vrahem čínské mafie zvané Sto osm draků. V kriminálním podsvětí, které z něj má strach, je však známý jako Plačící drak, zabiják, který nad osudem svých obětí prolévá slzy. Mladý, krásný a citlivý umělec Jo byl svými dračími pány psychologicky naprogramován, aby zabíjel na rozkaz. Vůli svých pánů se vzepřít nemůže, oni však zase nemohou zastavit jeho slzy lítosti.

Richard Austin Freeman (1862 - 1943), podobne ako jeho slávny spisovateľský predchodca sir Arthur Conan Doyle, bol pôvodným povolaním lekár. Svoje medicínske poznatky a metódy práce dokázal dobre zužitkovať aj vo svojej literárnej tvorbe: stal sa duchovným otcom literárnej postavy prvého vedeckého detektíva, súdneho lekára Dr. Thorndyka, predobrazu dnešných forenzných vyšetrovateľov. Ešte aj dnes dýchajú jeho pátrania čarom a milou patinou zaprášeného chemického laboratória s Bunsenovým horákom. Dr. John Thorndyke - impozantný gentleman s neodmysliteľným zeleným kufríkom, v ktorom si nosí prenosné laboratórium, je predchodcom dnešného žánru forenznej detektívky. Nadväzuje na vedeckú, "chemickú" stránku svojho predobrazu - slávneho Sherlocka Holmesa. R.

Před čtyřmi lety byl Rudy Cutter odsouzen za své činy na doživotí. Aby ho dostali za mříže, někdo záměrně falšoval spisy. Po odhalení této machinace je Rudy, vrah Frostovy sestry, znovu volný. Frost to však hodlá co nejrychleji napravit. Spojence nachází v Eden Shayové, která píše o Cutterovi knihu. A která se obává jeho pomsty. Sehrát vítěznou partii s vrahem, jenž se chystá znovu udeřit, však není jednoduché. Ne, když Frost zároveň čelí vlastním démonům. Ne, když je ta hra tak osobní.

''A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS''FASCINATING… SHOCKING'' SPECTATORWhat is paranoia? What makes us anxious? How can this be overcome?Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey.For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head.He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments.This is also a practical book.

Jason Bourne tackles a global media conspiracy and a murderous tech giant in the latest electrifying entry in Robert Ludlum's New York Times bestselling series. Bourne is back...

For John Freeman - literary critic, essayist, editor, poet and ''one of the preeminent book people of our time'' (Dave Eggers) - it is a rare moment when words are not enough. But in the wake of the election of 2016, words felt useless, even indulgent. Action was the only reasonable response. He took to the streets in protest and the sense of community and collective conviction felt right. But the assaults continued - on citizens'' rights and long-held compacts, on the core principles of our culture and civilisation, and on our language itself. Words seemed to be losing the meanings they once had and Freeman was compelled to return to their defence. The result is his Dictionary of the Undoing.From A to Z, ''Agitate'' to ''Zygote,'' Freeman assembled the words that felt most essential, most potent, and began to build a case for their renewed power and authority, each word building on the last. The message that emerged was not to retreat behind books, but to emphatically engage in the public sphere, to redefine what it means to be a literary citizen.With an afterword by Valeria Luiselli, Dictionary of the Undoing is a necessary, resounding cri de coeur in ...

In Running, former NCAA Division I track athlete Lindsey A. Freeman presents the feminist and queer handbook of running that she always wanted but could never find. For Freeman, running is full of joy, desire, and indulgence in the pleasure and weirdness of having a body. It allows for a space of freedom—to move and be moved. Through tender storytelling of a lifetime wearing running shoes, Freeman considers injury and recovery, what it means to run as a visibly queer person, and how the release found in running comes from a desire to touch something that cannot be accessed when still. Running invites us to run through life, legging it out the best we can with heart and style.

A monumental and exhilarating history of European thought, from the fall of Rome in the fifth century AD to the Scientific Revolution thirteen centuries later.The Awakening traces the recovery and refashioning of Europe''s classical heritage from the ruins of the Roman Empire. The process of preservation of surviving texts, fragile at first, was strengthened under the Christian empire founded by Charlemagne in the eighth century; later, during the High Middle Ages, universities were founded and the study of philosophy was revived. Renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman thought provided the intellectual impetus for the Renaissance of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, whose ideas – aesthetic, political and scientific – were disseminated across Europe by the invention of the printing press. Equally momentous was Europe''s encounter with the New World, and the resulting maritime supremacy which conferred global reach on Europe''s merchants and colonists. Vivid in detail and informed by the latest scholarship, The Awakening is powered not by the fate of kings or the clash of arms but by deeper currents of thought, inquiry and discovery, which first recover and then surpass the achievements of classical antiquity, and lead the West to the threshold of the Age of Reason. ...

The tragic life of Julian, the last non-Christian emperor of Rome, by award-winning author Philip Freeman  “When we think of ancient Rome, it’s impossible not to think of Christianity, one of its most notable exports—but what if it hadn’t been? This is the question provoked by classicist Philip Freeman in Julian, an appealing new entry in Yale’s Ancient Lives series, which tells the story of the old faith’s last imperial torchbearer.”—Anna Heyward, New York Times Book Review  Flavius Claudius Julianus, or Julian the Apostate, ruled Rome as sole emperor for just a year and a half, from 361 to 363, but during that time he turned the world upside down. Although a nephew of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor of Rome, Julian fought to return Rome to the old gods who had led his ancestors to build their vast empire.  As emperor, Julian (331–363) set about reforming the administration, conquering new territories, and reviving ancient religions. He was scorned in his time for repudiating Christianity and demonized as an apostate for willfully rejecting Christ. Through the centuries, Julian has been viewed by many as a tragic figure who sought to save Rome from its enemies ... Unknown localization key: "more"

??Written without “yoga jargon,” Feeling Happy explores the nature of happiness as a basic human capacity—and illuminates how suffering, imbalanced emotion, and confusion can cast a veil over one’s ability to truly feel happy.  What is the fully embodied experience of happiness, and is there any way for it to last? Feeling Happy helps you explore what happiness is and offers practical steps toward cultivating happiness as a deep, embodied expression of life and connection to others. Using familiar examples from everyday life, traditional understanding of one’s search for happiness, stories, and humor, Freeman and Taylor demonstrate how to find your way back home to the essence of who you are, and the direct experience of what it feels like to be truly happy.  The book offers 24 accessible practices—meditations, simple movements, and breathing exercises—along with 22 black-and-white illustrative photos as guides along the path toward fully embodying happiness. These practices together with insight into the nature of being, will allow you to wake up and integrate the physical body, heart, and mind through the breath so that even in difficult times, compassion, equanimity, and happiness can emerge.  Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor draw from their years ...

Originally published in 1918 by the Talbot Press in Dublin, two years after his execution by the British Government for his involvement in the 1916 Easter Rising, Some Poems of Roger Casement has long been a collector’s item. In life and in death, Roger Casement appears to contain many contradictions: decorated British diplomat, Irish Protestant and martyred Irish nationalist. He was a humanitarian, essayist and sometime poet, a public gentleman and a private lover. Over the years, Roger Casement’s ghost has been the subject of endless controversies, co-opted into both the queer liberation movement in Ireland and the Republican movement. Predator or saviour, traitor or hero, maligned martyr or gay icon? The question depends on who you ask, and what aspects of Casement’s life they choose to hold in focus, or to dismiss as a lie. —SEÁN HEWITTIncludes a specially commissioned introduction by Seán Hewitt as well as the original 1918 introduction, written by Casement’s cousin, Gertrude Parry.
