''I''m so glad you had the life you did, Barbara. I''m sorry you can''t remember, but my God, what a life! You haven''t wasted a minute of it...''In December 2020, while the world was gripped with news of an imminent third lockdown, Scott Mitchell was visiting the care home where his partner and wife of 27 years - Dame Barbara Windsor - was being looked after. At the age of 83, after a career spanning seven decades and a seven-year battle with the debilitating effects of dementia, she was slipping away.Barbara''s illness meant she could no longer remember her magical career, and so Scott sat by her bedside in her final days, telling her tales from their extraordinary life together. From the unlikely moment they met to the challenges they faced, and the highs and lows of a life shared in the limelight. For theirs was an incredibly passionate relationship, but also a turbulent one - and along with a life of love and laughter, together they endured the pressures of fame, drink and addiction, heartbreak and ultimately dementia. He told Barbara stories of her wonderful achievements on and off screen, and the people who altered the trajectory of her life. From nine enormously successful and much-loved Carry On films to more than twenty years in Albert Square with the role of Peggy Mitchell. From director Joan Littlewood handpicking her for Sparrows Can''t Sing and her first husband Ronnie Knight and his links to the Kray twins, to her friendships with Sid James, Kenneth Williams and more.Weaving together an old-fashioned love story, a glittering life of showbiz and the true cost of dementia, By Your Side is a treasure trove for all of us who grew up watching and loving Dame Barbara. From the madness and the mayhem, the glorious highs and the devastating lows, to the fantastic fun she and Scott had along the way - this is an intimate, honest and incredibly personal account of a life spent loving Babs; a warm, colourful and heartfelt celebration of her rich, varied and remarkable life from the man who knew her best.

Arguing for the value in dedicating yourself to a craft, Florian weaves anecdotes about particular pots and processes into the narrative of his life, exploring what he has learnt from specific pieces he was taught to throw during his apprenticeships and how they have informed his philosophy and approach to his work.By My Hands is an ode to the beauty of small things, such as a simple hand-thrown mug or bowl, which can brighten life''s daily rituals and make them more meaningful - as well as an inspiring testament to the power of perseverance.

Before She Was My Grandmother - Giselle Potter

From celebrated illustrator Giselle Potter, a beautiful and memorable story about the special bond between a grandparent and a grandchild. Whenever I visit my grandmother Alice, we love sitting together and telling each other stories. My favorite part is when she takes out her box of special things and we pass them back and forth. Each object—a doll, a sketchbook, shells and stones, and more—is a clue to a bigger story: the story of her life before she was my grandmother. Before she was my grandmother, she too was a young girl, with a life very different from my own. Little by little, the stories she tells and the objects she shares from her memory box reveal the many facets of her life, along with her great spirit, with its many colors and tones. Written and illustrated by the award-winning picture book maker Giselle Potter, Before She Was My Grandmother celebrates strong and loving family connections, as well as the little moments and mementos of childhood that we carry with us all our lives—and pass on to the next generation. It’s also a touching reminder of how every life is so much richer and more multifaceted than any single identity or role.

Butlins gifted me an enduring smile, and in Liverpool, I worked with the less fortunate while crossing paths with future stars.Then came seventeen wonderful years of stand-up comedy, which took me across the UK and abroad, entertaining the British Forces, before a TV career began in failure, only to rise from the ashes with Di, the love of my life, and a new career in Maths and Science.Packed with wildly funny tales, this book isn’t half a good story – or is it?

Afterglow - Eileen Myles

Skinny''s Book of the Year, 2018In 1990, Myles chose Rosie from a litter on the street, and their connection instantly made an indelible impact on the writer''s way of being. Over the course of sixteen years together, Myles was devoted to the pit bull and their linked quality of life. And starting from the emptiness following Rosie''s death, Afterglow launches a playful and incisive investigation into the mostly mutually beneficial, sometimes reprehensible power dynamics between pet and pet-owner. At the same time, it reimagines Myles''s experiences with alcoholism and recovery, intimacy and mourning, celebrity and politics, spirituality and family history, while joyously transcending the parameters of memoir.Moving from an imaginary talk show where Rosie is interviewed by Myles''s childhood puppet, to a critical reenactment of the night Rosie mated with another pit bull; from shimmering poetic transcriptions of video footage taken during their walks, to Rosie''s final enlightened narration from the afterlife, this totally singular text combines elements of science fiction, screenplay, monologue, and lucid memory to get to the heart of how and why we dedicate our existence to our dogs.

He reflects on the valuable lessons of Integrity, Care, Love and Hope that they have taught him - lessons that have sustained him through the unbelievable highs and crushing lows of a profession where lives are quite literally at stake.As Noel explores what makes us connect with animals so deeply, we meet Peanut, the world''s first cat with two front bionic limbs; eight-year-old therapy dachschund Olive; Odin, a gorgeous five-year-old Dobermann, who would prove to be one of Noel''s most challenging cases - and of course his beloved companions Ricochet, the Maine Coon, and Keira, the scruffy Border terrier who is always by his side.Readers love How Animals Saved My Life:''Totally honest and his pure love for animals shines like a beacon...

Myth and Meaning in Jordan Peterson - Ron Dart

For some, Peterson represents all that is wrong with patriarchal culture; for others, he is the Canadian academic prophet who has come to save civilization from dizzying confusion. Regardless of how one feels about him, his influence in North America-and beyond-is difficult to deny. While the "Peterson phenomenon" has motivated numerous articles and responses, much of what has been written is either excessively fawning or overly critical. Little has been produced that explores Peterson's thought-especially his immensely popular 12 Rules for LIfe-within the context of his overall context and scholarly output. How is one to understand the ascendancy of Jordan Peterson and why he's become so popular? Does his earlier Maps of Meaning shed light on how one might understand his 12 Rules for Life? In Myth and Meaning in Jordan Peterson, scholars across various disciplines explore Jordan Peterson's though from a Christian perspective. Critical and charitable, sober-minded and generous, this collection of ten essays is a key resource for those looking to faithfully engage with Jordan Peterson's thought. --Dust Jacket Front Inside Flap.

Naučte se fotografovat AKT - Bryan Peterson

Naučte se s Bryanem Petersonem fotografovat ženský akt. Nová kniha světoznámého fotografa je oslavou krásy ženského těla a zároveň nápaditým průvodcem, jak ji zachytit a vytvořit dechberoucí fotografie. Světově uznávaný fotograf a pedagog Bryan Peterson je zpět! A jeho nová kniha, která vychází v češtině exkluzivně ve světové premiéře, se nezabývá ničím menším než ženským aktem. Protože, jak sám autor píše, „ženské tělo je diamant“, provede vás všemi taji a zákoutími umění fotografovat veškeré jeho krásy. Bylo to právě ženské tělo, které Bryana kdysi přimělo odložit paletu a štětce a vzít do ruky fotoaparát. Léta cestoval po světě, fotografoval různá témata, psal knihy a učil, ale k aktu se průběžně vracel, protože jeho fascinace tělem je skutečně hluboká a nikdy ho neopustila. Nyní svým čtenářům a široké fotografické veřejnosti předkládá knihu, ve které shromáždil nejen fascinující fotografie z celého světa, včetně Prahy, ale také své postřehy a návody, jak zachytit přesně ten okamžik, který se vám vryje do paměti. V knize Akt najdete fotografie z exteriéru i interiéru, ženu v davu lidí i osamělou na zmrzlé pláni, dozvíte se, jak důležité je zvolené pozadí, hra světla a stínu, délka expozice a v neposlední řadě i to, jak důležitou roli hraje kontrast a textura. To vše s jeho specifickou lehkostí a nadhledem. Způsob, jakým autor popisuje vznik vlastních fotografií, je sám o sobě návodem pro začínající i pokročilé fotografy. Akt je v řadě Bryanových knih přeci jen specifické dílo, nejedná se tentokrát o „školu“, na jakou jsme u něj zvyklí, nenajdete v ní fotografie „špatné“ a „dobré“, dokonce ani snímky před a po. Jen finální záběry, které vám vezmou dech svou precizností a nápaditostí. Nechte se inspirovat krásou ženského těla! O autorovi: Bryan Peterson: Odkaz Mistra Inspirace Bryan Peterson byl víc než jen fotograf – byl to pedagog s duší umělce, který dokázal zjednodušit zdánlivě složité fotografické koncepty a probudit v lidech touhu tvořit. Jeho kurzy a workshopy byly vždy nabité bezmezným nadšením a humorem, a přesně to ho odlišovalo od ostatních. Nikdy vás nezahltil technickými detaily, naopak, vedl vás k tomu, abyste nad fotografií přemýšleli a vložili do ní kus sebe. Jak sám říkal: „To, co dělá skvělou fotografii, je záměr skrytý za obrazem.“ Po více než 30 let se Bryan Peterson úspěšně věnoval komerční fotografii, pracoval pro giganty jako American Express, Kodak, UPS, Phillips a Citibank. Jeho talent byl oceněn osmkrát v soutěži Communication Arts Photography Annual, čtyřikrát časopisem Print Magazine a získal i prestižní cenu Gold Award New York Art Directors. Svými fotografiemi aktivně přispíval do časopisů Popular Photography a Outdoor Photography. Ovšem největší stopu zanechal Bryan svými knihami. Tyto bestsellery přeložené do devíti jazyků, z nichž se prodalo přes milion kusů, se staly biblí pro mnoho začínajících i pokročilých fotografů. Mezi jeho nejznámější díla patří Naučte se exponovat kreativně, Naučte se vidět kreativně, Naučte se fotografovat street fotografie a mnoho dalších, které pomáhaly čtenářům objevovat světlo, barvu, kompozici a především nalézat svůj vlastní kreativní hlas. Bryan Peterson během více než 40 let výuky vnášel do svých workshopů po celém světě jedinečný styl. Každému fotografovi zaručil kreativní a radostný zážitek, povýšil jejich vize a otevřel jim nové možnosti. Jeho odkaz bude i nadále žít v dílech těch, které inspiroval. Zanechal po sobě obrovský odkaz, který ovlivnil nespočet fotografů po celém světě. Jeho přístup k fotografii, plný inspirace a důrazu na záměr za snímkem, zůstává nadčasový a nepřestává inspirovat Pokud byste se chtěli seznámit s jeho dílem, můžete navštívit stránky jeho fotografických workshopů na www.bryanfpetersonphotoworkshops.com a prohlédnout si jeho fotografické práce na www.bryanfpeterson.com.

12 pravidel pro život - Jordan B. Peterson

Co by měl znát každý člověk v moderním světě? ptá se renomovaný psycholog Jordan B. Peterson a jeho odpověď na tuto nesnadnou otázku v sobě jedinečně propojuje odvěké pravdy a ohromující objevy nejsoučasnějšího vědeckého výzkumu.Peterson dokáže být vtipný a překvapivý a vždy objevný. Vysvětluje nám, proč nebránit dětem v nebezpečných kouscích na skateboardu, jaký hrozný osud čeká člověka, který příliš rychle kritizuje, který je pomstychtivý, nenávistný a arogantní; a proč bychom měli pohladit každou kočku, kterou potkáme na ulici. Peterson rozebírá (sebe)kázeň a svobodu, dobrodružství a zodpovědnost, smysl života i víru v Boha; pouští se do překvapivých odboček a zase se vrací a destiluje poznání o lidském charakteru a osudu do dvanácti navenek jednoduchých pouček, za kterými se skrývají hluboké poznatky a dalekosáhlá poučení o tom, jak vést správný život. Rozbíjí otřepané poučky týkající se vědy, víry a lidské přirozenosti a proměňuje a povznáší mysl i ducha svých čtenářů. Autor bývá vnímán jako protivník soudobé genderové agendy, ale mnohem spíš než něčí odpůrce je Peterson obhájcem: zastáncem těch nejtradičnějších hodnot – zodpovědnosti za vlastní život i svět kolem sebe, víry v lidské společenství, zodpovědnosti vůči nadosobním hodnotám a vůči Bohu. Jordan B. Peterson vyrostl a dospěl v muže v promrzlých pustinách severní Alberty; létal s akrobatickým letadlem; zkoumal s astronauty meteorický kráter v Arizoně; vyučoval mytologii právníky, lékaře a obchodníky; byl konzultantem generálního tajemníka OSN; pomáhal svým pacientům zvládat deprese, obsesivně-kompulzivní poruchu, úzkost či schizofrenii; byl poradcem v nejvyšším vedení velkých kanadských firem a hojně přednášel po celé severní Americe i Evropě. Působil na Harvardu a v současnosti na Torontské univerzitě, je autorem či spoluautorem více než stovky odborných článků, které proměnily moderní chápání osobnosti; jeho kniha Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief od základu proměnila psychologii náboženství. Autor žije v Torontu, čtenářům jsou k dispozici jeho webové stránky www.jordanbpeterson.com, na YouTube mohou sledovat kanál Jordan Peterson Videos či záznamy Petersonových veřejných vystoupení.

My, kdo zápasíme s Bohem - Jordan B. Peterson

Ve své nové knize nás Peterson provádí prastarými zakladatelskými příběhy západního světa. Detailně analyzuje starozákonní příběhy o vzpouře, oběti, utrpení a vítězství, které nás kulturně i psychologicky ukotvují a sjednocují. Adam a Eva a věčný Pád lidstva; vražedná válka mezi Kainem a Ábelem; Noe a katastrofická potopa; zhroucení babylonské věže; Jonáš v pekle velrybího břicha; putování Mojžíše a jeho lidu - co všechno mohou tyto příběhy znamenat? Jak se stalo, že utvářely našeho ducha i náš svět a obrátily nás stejným směrem?
