Engineers of Victory - Paul Kennedy
From Paul Kennedy, author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, one of the most acclaimed history books of recent decades, Engineers of Victory is a new account of how the tide was turned against the Nazis by the Allies in the Second World War. In January 1943 Churchill and Roosevelt met in Casablanca to review the Allies'' war aims. To achieve unconditional surrender they had to overcome some formidable hurdles, from winning air command to ''hopping'' across the Pacific islands. Eighteen months later, they had done what seemed impossible.Here Paul Kennedy reveals the role of the problem-solvers and middle-men who made it happen - like Major-General Perry Hobart, who invented the ''funny tanks'' which flattened the D-Day beaches; or Captain ''Johnny'' Walker, who worked out how to sink U-boats with a ''creeping barrage''. This book shows the conflict in an entirely new light.''Consistently original ... An important contribution to our understanding'' Michael Beschloss, The New York Times Book Review''[Kennedy''s] refreshing study ... asks the right questions, disposes of clichés and gives a rich account of neglected topics'' David Edgerton, Financial Times''Colourfully and convincingly illustrates the ingenuity and persistence of a few people who made all the difference'' Washington PostPAUL KENNEDY is one of the world''s best-selling and most influential historians. He is the author or editor of nineteen books, including The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, which has been translated into over twenty languages, Preparing for the Twenty-First Century, The Parliament of Man and the now classic Rise and Fall of British Naval Mastery.

I'm Just Ryan: The Little Guide to Ryan Gosling - OH
To his millions of fans worldwide, Ryan Gosling is not just a handsome face that can say "Hey girl!" in a way that makes them go weak at the knees (though he can and does), he is the defining icon of the new Golden Age of cinema, a 21st-century Cary Grant, as macho as he is feminine, with a total of 11 Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations under his belt, and a Golden Globe victory for Best Actor.Since his tenure as a leading man, 20 years ago in The Notebook, Ryan''s films have grossed more than $2 billion dollars, and his next few projects will certainly add to that figure, with Project Hail Mary, Wolf Man, Gray Man 2, and Margot Robbie''s Ocean Eleven reboot keeping him in the La La Land limelight for many years to come.I''m Just Ryan throws a bright spotlight on the actor''s playful and positive sense of humour and philosophy and revels in his ridiculous charm and sexiness with a wealth of iconic quotes and facts about the man - the legend - himself."I did doubt my Kenergy in the beginning. I just wasn''t sure I could do it but I just decided I was going to Ken as hard as I can. I Kenned in the morning; I Kenned at night. If I''m honest, I''m Kenning a little right now."Ryan, on channeling his "Kenergy"."Eva''s the dream mother, and they''re dream babies, and it''s like a dream that I''m having right now. I''m dreaming it all."Ryan, on his wife Eva Mendes.Ryan Gosling''s live performance of "I''m Just Ken" at the 2024 Academy Awards is already considered one of the most iconic moments in Oscars history. Dressed head-to-toe in pink, Ryan stole the show with Guns & Rose guitarist Slash and Mark Ronson, alongside 65 other "Ken''s", and his Barbie co-stars. More than 20 million people tuned in to watch and sales of the song jumped by 900 per cent during the performance.

Vzhledem k nízkému věku toho má Jack Ryan za sebou poměrně dost – těžké zranění z války v Afghánistánu, které ho málem doživotně zmrzačilo, náročnou rekonvalescenci, doktorát z ekonomie a práci ekonomického analytika v CIA, kterou před svým okolím a dokonce i před vlastní ženou (Keira Knightley) úspěšně tají. Když zachytí nestandardní operaci provedenou ruským finančním gigantem, pošle ho jeho řídící důstojník (Kevin Costner) do Moskvy, aby na místě zjistil, co se děje. Jack se hned po příletu musí proměnit z finančního úředníka v akčního hrdinu se vším všudy, protože jeho přítomnost v ruské metropoli není vítaná a jeho původně přátelský průvodce mu to dá dost jasně najevo tím, že se ho pokusí zlikvidovat. První kolo Jack přežije a postoupí do druhého – k setkání s oligarchou Viktorem Čerevinem (Kenneth Branagh), který osnuje plán, jenž může zásadně otřást světovou stabilitou. Zdánlivě má k dispozici všechny trumfy, včetně Jackovy ženy, která se impulzivně rozhodla manžela na moskevské služebce překvapit.

The Anxiety Prescription - Russell Kennedy
After years of trying different therapies for his crippling anxiety without success, Dr Russell Kennedy had an epiphany: anxiety does not start in the brain. Anxiety starts in the body, where trauma is stored and physical and emotional perception begin. Alarm bells originating in the body are what trigger those anxious thoughts that we call anxiety, and Dr Kennedy realised that true healing starts only when we learn not to conflate the two.He understood that existing therapies focused only on the mind would never get to the root of the problem – at best, they could help manage symptoms, but they’d never truly heal anxiety. Now fully revised and updated, with new material including the Anxiety Toolkit, The Anxiety Prescription blends Dr Kennedy's personal story with medical science, neuroscience and developmental psychology. When you learn how to sever the connection between the somatic alarm and the flood of anxious thoughts – you can begin to heal old trauma and gain back a sense of control.The Anxiety Prescription offers a toolkit of techniques for our thinking minds, and our feeling bodies – changing not just our mindset, but our 'body-set'. Unravelling the intricate relationship between anxiety, the body and the mind, this powerful book offers a profound path toward healing and growth.

A Slanting of the Sun: Stories - Donal Ryan
From the twice Man Booker longlisted author of From a Low and Quiet Sea''Donal Ryan, one of our most remarkable writers, has produced a book of short stories of such visceral power that they hit you in the solar plexus. He deals with the dark side of modern Irish life and produces sentences of titanic impact.'' IRISH MAIL ON SUNDAYAn old man looks into the fearful eyes of a burglar left to guard him while his brother is beaten; an Irish priest in a war-torn Syrian town teaches its young men the art of hurling; the driver of a car which crashed, killing a teenage girl, forges a connection with the girl''s mother; a squad of broken friends assemble to take revenge on a rapist; a young man sets off on his morning run, reflecting on the ruins of his relationship, but all is not as it seems.Donal Ryan''s short stories pick up where his acclaimed novels The Spinning Heart and The Thing About December left off, dealing with the human cost of loneliness, isolation and displacement. Sometimes this is present in the ordinary, the mundane; sometimes it is triggered by a fateful encounter or a tragic decision. At the heart of these stories, crucially, is how people are drawn to each other and cling on to love, often in desperate circumstances.In haunting and often startling prose, Donal Ryan has captured the brutal beauty of the human heart in all its hopes and failings._________''Donal Ryan is a heartbreaker, his quicksilver prose laced with ... wistful rhythms ... These breathtaking stories explore human love against an uneasy landscape of violence and desperation... Donal finds hope in dark corners.'' DAILY MAIL''Donal Ryan is a master of the magnetic first line ... His faithful subject is rural despair; the poetry of adversity, the baffling fortitude of intrinsically decent people ... This collection shows Ryan adding his own elastic yet distinctive voice to O''Connor''s impeccable tradition.'' GUARDIAN

To this day, the Kennedys occupy a unique, contradictory place in the world''s imagination: at once familiar and unknowable; charmed and cursed. The Kennedy Curse is a revealing, fascinating account of America''s most famous family, as told by the world''s most trusted storyteller.________________________________Also published as The House of Kennedy in the US.''When I wrote my first novel after several non-fiction works about politics, James Patterson lovingly lambasted me for infringing on his thriller territory. Now I know how he feels as he crosses into non-fiction politics with this juicy and entertaining look at a political family that continues to wield power and influence. He''s too good - it isn''t fair!'' JAKE TAPPER, CNN anchor and author of The Hellfire Club

Lucy Carmichael - Margaret Kennedy
Rediscover the brilliance of Lucy Carmichael in the Mermaid Collection – timeless classics by pioneering female authors, beautifully reissued to enchant today’s readers. Originally published in 1951 from the author of beloved holiday classic The Feast comes a glorious coming-of-age tale about a heroine whose wedding day does not go entirely to plan . . . With a foreword by Lucy Mangan ***‘People seem to get over things, don’t they? I don’t know how, but they do – ordinary people. I’m very ordinary, so I expect I shall do what they do.’Lucy Carmichael is jilted at the altar. But no matter. Her loving and kind family never liked her explorer fiancé anyway. Instead of moping or falling into her supportive family’s arms, however, Lucy abandons their suburban home. Heading for the country, she takes up a teaching position in the industrial town of Ravonsbridge. There, she finds solace in her work, in her new (rather gossipy) colleagues – and rediscovers her sensible young self. But if Lucy has, despite everything, kept her head – where lies her heart?Praise for Margaret Kennedy:'She is not only a romantic but an anarchist, and she knows the ways of men and women very well indeed' Anita Brookner'Kennedy was immensely popular in her heyday' Washington Post'Margaret Kennedy's poised style, cool wit and skilful characterization kept her novels welcome for three decades' Cambridge Guide to Literature in English

On Politics - Alan Ryan
A magisterial, one-volume history of political thought from Herodotus to the present, Ancient Athens to modern democracy - from author and professor Alan RyanThis is a book about the answers that historians, philosophers, theologians, practising politicians and would-be revolutionaries have given to one question: how should human beings best govern themselves? Almost every modern government claims to be democratic; but is democracy really the best way of organising our political life? Can we manage our own affairs at all? Should we even try? In the west, do we actually live in democracies? In this extraordinary book Alan Ryan engages with the great thinkers of the past to show us how vividly their ideas speak to us in today''s uncertain world.ALAN RYAN was born in London in 1940 and taught for many years at Oxford, where he was a Fellow of New College and Reader in Politics. He was Professor of Politics at Princeton from 1988 to 1996, when he returned to Oxford to become Warden of New College and Professor of Political Theory until his retirement in 2009. His previous books include The Philosophy of John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russell: A Political Life and John Dewey and the High Tide of American Liberalism. He is a Fellow of the British Academy.Reviews of On Politics:''An engaging and smart survey of major political thinkers ... Through Ryan [they] speak directly to the present'' Mark Mazower, Prospect''Ryan''s book is a magnificent piece of work, clear (even when the ideas he''s exploring are obscure) and engaging (even when the theory in the original is forbidding) ... anyone remotely interested in political theory will profit from reading or dipping into Ryan''s On Politics, whether this is their first acquaintance with the canon of political theory or whether they have been "Hobbing and Locking" for decades ... It''s a remarkable experience'' Jeremy Waldron, New York Review of Books''Ambitiously and elegantly covers two and a half millennia of political thinking ... despite covering huge intellectual terrain, [On Politics] a delight both when it explores detail and also when it draws conclusions of a broader perspective'' Justin Champion, BBC History Magazine''On Politics is crammed with smart observations and wise advice'' John Keane, Financial Times''An impressive achievement'' Economist

Mind blowing' CAL FLYNIn this revelatory book, Dr Jonathan Kennedy argues that germs have shaped humanity at every stage, from the first success of Homo sapiens over the equally intelligent Neanderthals to the fall of Rome and the rise of Islam. How did an Indonesian volcano help cause the Black Death, setting Europe on the road to capitalism? How could 168 men extract the largest ransom in history from an opposing army of eighty thousand? And why did the Industrial Revolution lead to the birth of the modern welfare state?The latest science reveals that infectious diseases are not just something that happens to us, but a fundamental part of who we are.Indeed, the only reason humans don't lay eggs is that a virus long ago inserted itself into our DNA, and there are as many bacteria in your body as there are human cells. We have been thinking about the survival of the fittest all wrong: evolution is not simply about human strength and intelligence, but about how we live and thrive in a world dominated by microbes. By exploring the startling intimacy of our relationship with infectious diseases, Kennedy shows how they have been responsible for some of the seismic revolutions of the past 50,000 years.Provocative and brimming with insight, Pathogenesis transforms our understanding of the human story.

Portréty odvahy - John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"…činů, kvůli nimž jsem trpěl, ani zdaleka nelituji. Všechny bych je vykonal znovu, pokud by to bylo zapotřebí, i za cenu desateronásobného hanobení, nepřízně a ztráty funkce," prohlásil John Quincy Adams a s jeho slovy by se pravděpodobně ztotožnilo i dalších sedm amerických senátorů, jejichž příběhy líčí John Fitzgerald Kennedy ve svazku Portréty odvahy. Ať už si vydobyli věhlas, jako například Daniel Webster, nebo byli a jsou víceméně neznámými postavami, jako například Edmund G. Ross, projevili všichni tito politici v kritické chvíli odvahu jít proti proudu a nehledět na stranické zájmy a přání voličů. K jejich činům je přimělo vlastní přesvědčení, svědomí, věrnost ústavě a v neposlední řadě také nutkání zachovat se spravedlivě a prospět vlasti. Nejenže si za své jednání vysloužili tvrdou kritiku, ale v mnoha případech si jím navždy zničili kariéru a někdy i osobní život. Kennedy sestavil příběhy svých odvážných předchůdců na základě důkladného studia historických pramenů, avšak jeho styl má daleko do suché faktografie. Vše naopak líčí velice poutavě, se smyslem pro napětí a dramatičnost. Kniha Portréty odvahy, která výrazně přispěla k utváření moderního politického myšlení, tak zůstává podnětnou a přitažlivou četbou i více než padesát let po svém prvním vydání.

Cello - Kate Kennedy
Strikingly original'' The Times''Absorbing'' Wall Street Journal‘Just as a cello’s voice is divided across four strings, each with its own colour and character, this is a journey in four parts, in search of four players and their instruments...’In Cello, Kate Kennedy weaves together the lives of four remarkable cellists who suffered various forms of persecution, injury and misfortune. The Hungarian Jewish cellist and composer Pál Hermann managed to keep one step ahead of the Gestapo for much of the Second World War but was eventually captured and murdered. Lise Cristiani, the first female professional cello soloist, undertook an epic – and ultimately fatal – concert tour of Siberia in the 1850s, taking with her one of the world’s greatest Stradivari cellos. Anita Lasker-Wallfisch was incarcerated in both Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen camps, only surviving because she was the cellist in the Auschwitz-Birkenau women’s orchestra. Amedeo Baldovino of the Trieste Piano Trio was forced to jump from a burning ship with his ‘Mara’ Stradivari, losing the cello, and nearly losing his own life when the boat was shipwrecked near Buenos Aires.Counterpointing the themes raised by these extraordinary stories are a sequence of interludes that draw together the author’s reflections on the nature and history of the cello, and her many interviews and encounters with contemporary cellists. Kate Kennedy’s own relationship with the cello is a complicated one. As a teenager, she suffered an injury to her arm that imposed severe limitations on her career as a performer on the instrument that was her first love. She realised that, in order to start to understand what the cello meant to her, she needed to find out what the cello – and, crucially, the absence of the cello – had meant to some other cellists, past and present. Kate Kennedy has written an eloquent and multitextured homage to this warmest of stringed instruments – part quest narrative, part detective story, part philosophical meditation.

This is a truthful book about the deeply worrisome, inescapable state of mental health in America, that will raise understanding, sympathy, and tolerance to a new level.
