On the brink of a critical moment in human history, this book presents a vision of "planetary stewardship" - a rethinking of our relationship with our planet - and plots a new course for our future. The authors, whose work is the subject of a new Netflix documentary released in summer 2021 and narrated by Sir David Attenborough, reveal the full scale of the planetary emergency we face - but also how we can stabilise Earth''s life support system. The necessary change is within our power if we act now. In 2009, scientists identified nine planetary boundaries that keep Earth stable, ranging from biodiversity to ozone. Beyond these boundaries lurk tipping points. To stop short of these tipping points, the 2020s must see the fastest economic transition in history. This book demonstrates how societies are reaching positive tipping points that make this transition possible: Activism groups such as Extinction Rebellion, or the schoolchildren inspired by Greta Thunberg demand political action; countries are committing to eliminating greenhouse gas emissions; and one tipping point has even already passed - the price of clean energy has dropped below that of fossil fuels. Inside the pages of this scientifically-led publication, world-leading climate-change experts explain ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Longlisted for The Edge Hill Short Story Prize 2024The countryside – what is it for? A paradise on earth where you can relax and get creative? Or an outdoor wool factory where every other house is an Airbnb and there are fewer trees than Camden. In his new collection of short stories David Gaffney explores the theme of town versus country through a number of different lenses, including his own experience of being brought up in west Cumbria then moving to Manchester. A creative residency on the coast of Scotland becomes weirder and weirder in “The Retreat”; ‘I’ve always had the feeling that the countryside has something against me and that one day it will take its revenge.’ In “The Table”, a recluse in Penrith uses mid-century furniture to lure city dwellers into a world of ‘depressed farmers with shotguns and bottomless pits of slurry that will swallow you so hard you''ll never be seen again. And in “The Garages” the pressure of city living forces a man to become oddly obsessed with empty spaces. Often funny, often haunting, often profound, Gaffney uses dark humour and surreal characters to demonstrate a deep understanding of how places, urban or rural, can ...

‘The Welsh habit of revolt against the English is an old-standing madness … from the sayings of the prophet Merlin they still hope to recover their land. Hence, they frequently rebel … but because they do not know the appointed time, they are often deceived and their labour is in vain.’ (Vita Edwardi Secundi)The appointed time, it turned out, was 1485. For generations, the ancestors of Welshman Owen Tudor had fought Romans, Irish Picts, Vikings, Saxons, Mercians and Normans. His uncles had been executed in the Glyndwr Welsh War of Independence. Owen fought for Henry V in France and entered the service of Henry’s queen, Catherine of Valois. Soon after the king’s death he secretly married her, the mother of the eight-month-old Henry VI. Owen and Catherine would have two boys together. Henry VI would go on to ennoble them as Edmund Earl of Richmond, and Jasper Earl of Pembroke, but upon Catherine’s death Owen was imprisoned. Escaping twice, Owen was thrown into the beginnings of the Wars of the Roses with his two sons.

Johanna is one of the daughters of a migrant cobbler from the eastern backwoods of Pomerania, born in the German Empire of the 1880s. Aching for a life of accomplishment and respect, she resolves to escape her dad''s fate of early death, the stigma of his mixed Slavic-German heritage, and the poverty that followed him.

Verejné pôsobenie JOHANKY Z ARKU netrvalo dlho. Od jej prvého vystúpenia pred kráľom Karolom VII. v Chinone vo februári 1429 až po upálenie na hranici v Rouene 30. mája 1431 uplynuli iba dva roky. Ako je teda možné, že sa Panna orleánska za taký krátky čas nezmazateľne zapísala do dejín? Spoznajte detailnejšie príbeh Johanky z Arku formou komiksu. Jej odhodlanie je určite inšpiratívne aj dnes. Dodnes ju považujeme za jednu z najzaujímavejších osobností európskeho stredoveku. Bola to ona, kto zvrátil priebeh storočnej vojny a začal postupné znovudobývanie Francúzska. Podarilo sa jej prelomiť anglické obliehanie mesta Orléans a presvedčiť Karola VII. o potrebe jeho pomazania v Remeši, ktorým posilnil svoju legitimitu ako kráľa Francúzska. Práve táto udalosť bola jedným z hlavných argumentov počas rehabilitačného procesu v roku 1456, na základe ktorého sa Johanka stala jednou z ikon (nielen) francúzskych dejín. Jej mimoriadna cesta neprestáva prekvapovať. Ako sa mohla prostá vidiecka dievčina dostať až ku kráľovi? Ako mohla žena zohrať takú významnú vojenskú úlohu? Jej viera a osobnosť poháňali veliteľov vojsk i radových vojakov k víťazstvu. Pre jedných bola Johanka prorokyňa, ale pre druhých čarodejnica.

Professor Jon Stallworthy, from his Introduction.When Wilfred Owen was killed in the days before the Armistice in 1918, he left behind a shattering, truthful and indelible record of a soldier''s experience of the First World War. His greatest war poetry has been collected, edited and introduced here by Professor Jon Stallworthy.

First published in 1991, BOUNDARIES introduced readers to the important psychological need for creating literal and figurative limits turning author Anne Katherine''s book into an instant bestseller. Some boundaries are obvious , such as the actual space surrounding an individual. Being shoved, kissed or touched suggestively are all ways in which a boundary can be crossed. Other boundaries, emotional boundaries, are harder to see, but they are just as important to our well-being. Katherine explains how setting clear boundaries can bring order to your life of chaos, strengthen relationships, and enhance both mental and physical health. With real-life stories illustrating the repercussions of not setting limits, and the benfits of protecting personal boundaries and respecting those of others, this edition is useful for anyone who''s been violated, victimised, or belittled by friends, parents, partners, bosses, or colleagues.

Johan Cruyff byl jedním z největších hráčů fotbalové historie. Stal se synonymem totálního fotbalu a jeho filozofie fotbalu legendou.V autobiografii Moje filozofie fotbalu Cruyff vypráví příběh svého života od fotbalu na ulici po příchod do Ajaxu v deseti letech přes tři vítězství v Poháru mistrů evropských zemí až po přestup do Barcelony v roce 1973 za rekordní sumu. Poté přišlo vítězství v La Lize hned v první sezoně a Zlatý míč pro nejlepšího evropského hráče. Celkově získal Cruyff toto ocenění třikrát a přivedl nizozemskou fotbalovou reprezentaci do finále mistrovství světa v roce 1974.Po ukončení kariéry v roce 1984 se stal mimořádně úspěšným trenérem Ajaxu a poté Barcelony, kterou dovedl k prvnímu titulu v Lize mistrů v klubové historii. V roce 1999 byl Cruyff vyhlášen nejlepším evropským fotbalistou století a druhým nejlepším fotbalistou světa hned po Pelém. Později založil Cruyffovu nadaci, jejímž smyslem bylo poskytnout dětem možnost sportovat. Zatímco na hřišti či na lavičce měl Cruyff všechno z velké části pod kontrolou, život mimo fotbal byl výrazně bouřlivější – nevyhnul se bankrotu či pokusu o únos.

Kniha klasika holandskej literárnej moderny Frederika van Eedena (1860-1932) Malý Johannes je filozofickou rozprávkou pre dospelých. Dej sa odohráva v Holandsku približne v čase, keď žil autor; malý chlapec Johannes odchádza z domu, aby žil v prírode so zvieratami a mýtickými postavami. Tento chlapčenský sen sa mu však postupom času začne meniť na nočnú moru. Jediný možný spôsob, ako jej uniknúť, je vrátiť sa k "princípu reality" - a dospieť. Eedenom jednoducho vyrozprávaný príbeh chlapca, ktorý sa zmenší a načas splynie s prírodou, je iniciačnou prózou a zároveň veľkou dobovou polemikou o vzťahu človeka a prírody v časoch postromantizmu a druhej priemyselnej revolúcie. Hľadanie pravdy, krásy a šťastia ako základné smerovanie ľudského života je tu vsadené do rámca životných filozofií, umeleckých a prírodovedeckých názorov belle epoque a presvitá z neho silná tendencia k symbolizmu. Filozofický antimaterializmus, antinaturalizmus a idealizmus viedol autora k vysoko imaginatívnemu a v zásade symbolickému chápaniu prírody a vzťahu človeka k nej. V próze sa objavujú náznaky secesného vnímania sveta, prírody a kultúry, jej jazyk je prostý vo svojej pomenúvacej priamosti, avšak bohatý na výrazové prvky. Próza Malý Johannes patrí k základnému kánonu moderného holandského písomníctva.

Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award 2006Ideas of separation and divorce are important in Owen Sheers'' eagerly-awaited new book: the geographical divides of borders, the separation of the dead and the living, the movement from childhood to adulthood, the ending of relationships.Such divides are both moments of ''mark-making'' and moments of absence. In this collection it is often the awareness of such separation – past or impending – and the juxtaposition of these diverse states – that provides the friction from which the poems are born.The book revolves around the two poems ''Y Gaer'' and ''The Hillfort'', the titles themselves suggesting the linguistic divide in Wales, from poems concerned with childhood, a Welsh landscape and family, to a more outward looking vision both geographically and historically."Sheers is a vivid, sensuous writer."The Times"It is the truth in the details that suggests indisputably that Sheers is the real thing, a poet of promise whom we are sure to hear much of in the future."Dannie Abse"Owen Sheers is one of the most exciting talents around and a fabulous performer of his work."Carol Ann DuffyBorn in Fiji, raised in Abergavenny, educated at Oxford and a graduate of the University of East Anglia writing programme, ...

Like so many, motivated by a quest for a ‘Higher Reality’, Johannes makes his way to India, the Motherload of spirituality. The introduction entitled ‘Getting there’, gives a brief, graphic description of his journey northwards, skilfully sketching out some key aspects of Indian life: colour, ancient tradition, poverty, diversity and humanity. Inspired by a long-term interest in Tibetan Buddhism, he makes his way to Kashmir, having booked a flight to Ladak. Deep snow scuppers the trip, and he encounters an unsuspected and hidden vein of Muslim spirituality, Sufism. Most of the book is then taken up with Johannes’ diary which details, daily life, friendships, stunning descriptions of his environment, but above all, the teachings of the Sufi Master Amin. Leader of the Chistya Sufis, he was an independent, tolerant, and free-thinking individual, with far reaching interests and profound spiritual insights. ‘It was his face that was truly striking. His head seemed massive, twice normal size. The enormous domed forehead, criss-crossed by wrinkles, the long aquiline nose and the piercing dark eyes spoke of granite will and power.’Caught between unconditional acceptance of the teachings, and resistance, due to nurture and inclination, the book makes interesting reading.

No poetry has touched readers' hearts more deeply than the soldier poets of the First World War. Published to commemorate the centenary of 1914, this stunning set of books, with specially commissioned covers by leading print makers, is an essential gathering of our most beloved war poets introduced by leading poets and biographers of our present day. Dying at twenty-five, a week before the end of the First World War, Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) has come to represent a generation of young men sacrificed - as it seems to the next generation, one in unprecedented rebellion against its fathers - by guilty old men: generals, politicians, profiteers. Owen has now taken his place in literary history as perhaps the first, certainly the quintessential, war poet.
