chasing hope kristof nicholas d

Since 1984, Nicholas Kristof has worked almost continuously for The New York Times as a reporter, foreign correspondent, bureau chief, and now columnist, becoming one of the foremost reporters of his generation. Here, he recounts his event-filled path from a small-town farm in Oregon to every corner of the world.Reporting from Hong Kong, Beijing, and Tokyo, while traveling far afield to India, Africa, and Europe, Kristof witnessed and wrote about century-defining events: the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, the Yemeni civil war, the Darfur genocide in Sudan, and the wave of addiction and despair that swept through his hometown and a broad swath of working-class America. Fully aware that coverage of atrocities generates considerably fewer page views than the coverage of politics, he nevertheless continued to weaponize his pen against regimes and groups violating basic human rights, raising the cost of oppression and torture. Some of the risks he took while doing so make for hair-raising reading.Kristof writes about some of the great members of his profession and introduces us to extraordinary people he has met, such as the dissident whom he helped escape from China and a Catholic nun who browbeat a warlord into releasing schoolgirls he had kidnapped. These are the people, the heroes, who have allowed Kristof to remain optimistic. Side by side with the worst of humanity, you always see the best.This is a candid memoir of vulnerability and courage, humility and purpose, mistakes and learning—a singular tale of the trials, tribulations, and hope to be found in a life dedicated to the pursuit of truth.

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting team, husband and wife Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, take us on a journey through Africa and Asia to meet an extraordinary array of exceptional women struggling against terrible circumstances. More girls have been killed in the last fifty years, precisely because they are girls, than men were killed in all the wars of the twentieth century combined. More girls are killed in this routine ''gendercide'' in any one decade than people were slaughtered in all the genocides of the twentieth century. In the nineteenth century, the central moral challenge was slavery. In the twentieth, it was totalitarianism. In the twenty-first, Kristof and WuDunn demonstrate, it will be the struggle for gender equality in the developing world. Fierce, moral, pragmatic, full of amazing stories of courage and inspiration, HALF THE SKY is essential reading for every global citizen.

Elektronická kniha - autor Katherine Applegateová, 200 stran, slovensky Objal som ho okolo pása. Bolo to ako objímať leva. Ten kocúr vážil najmenej tonu. „Pozri,“ začal Krištof, keď vytiahol pazúry z mojej prikrývky. „Nemôžem odísť, kým ti nepomôžem. Ja som pravidlá nevymyslel.“ „Kto ich teda vymyslel?“ Krištof na mňa hľadel očami pripomínajúcimi zelené koráliky. Položil mi predné laby na plecia. Voňal mydlom, mačacou mätou a oceánom v noci. „Ty, Jackson,“ odvetil. „Ty vymýšľaš pravidlá.“ V Jacksonovom živote sa znenazdajky zjaví Kocúr Krištof, aby mu pomohol v ťažkých chvíľach. Je veľký, úprimný, no vymyslený. A myslíte si, že nejaký vyfantazírovaný kocúr dokáže vytrhnúť človeka z biedy? Láskyplný príbeh o tom, aké nevyhnutné je mať priateľov, či už skutočných, alebo vymyslených.

Audiokniha: Jednoho dne dostane osamělý voják kdesi v Iráku dopis, začínající oslovením Milý Johne… John Tyree je vojákem americké armády, k níž se nechal naverbovat po střední škole jen proto, aby nějak naložil se svým bezcílným životem. Po letech strávených ve válce na Balkáně se vrací domů na pár dní… – aby se nečekaně a neodvolatelně zamiloval do dívky svých snů. Půvabná a laskavá Savannah jeho city opětuje a na jediný letní týden se celý svět stane hřištěm pro jejich lásku. Savannah se s Johnem rozloučí s jednoznačným příslibem: Jestliže se vrátíš, provdám se za tebe. Ani jeden si nepřipouští, že vzdálenost mezi nimi může narušit upřímné, ale křehké pouto... Potom přijde 11. září roku 2001–a svět se navždy změní. John musí volit mezi slibem Savannah a přísahou, kterou složil pro svou vlast. Vrátí se do armády a Savannah mu slíbí, že na něj počká – jenže zároveň zjišťuje, že odloučení je pro lásku krutou zkouškou. Na motivy knihy byl natočen úspěšný film oscarového režiséra Lasse Hallströma s Amandou Seyfried a Channingem Tatumem v hlavních rolích. Kolem projelo auto a zlomilo kouzlo okamžiku. Ustoupila o krůček k domu, zastavila se, položila mi dlaň na paži a políbila mě na tvář. Nevinně, skoro jako sestra, ale její rty byly něžné. Zůstal jsem zmámený její vůní i potom, když se odtáhla. „Opravdu se mi dnešek moc líbil,“ zašeptala. „Asi na něj hodně dlouho nezapomenu.“ Spustila ruku a vmžiku byla na schodech a zmizela v domě. V noci jsem se převaloval na posteli a přehrával si události celého dne. Nakonec jsem se posadil. Litoval jsem, že jsem jí neřekl, co pro mě ten den znamenal. Oknem jsem zahlédl padající hvězdu, která proťala oblohu jako bílá zářivá čára. Přesvědčoval jsem se, že je to znamení, ale nebyl jsem si jistý čeho. Nemohl jsem dělat nic jiného, než si posté připomenout její něžný polibek a lámat si hlavu, jak jsem se mohl zamilovat do dívky, kterou znám jenom den.

Before the Elf on the Shelf, there was a young boy called Nicholas who had to find the courage to save the enchanted world of the elves, One True North.Shipwrecked in the Arctic Tundra, a young Nicholas and his loyal dog, Barry, stumble upon the enchanted and mysterious world of One True North–home to gnomes, fairies, and, of course, magical elves. Nicholas discovers that these special creatures protect a powerful relic known as the Lumistella Stone, a shard of the Christmas star that fell to Earth thousands of years ago. To those who believe, the stone holds the power to spread goodwill and love throughout the universe. But its strength can be extinguished. Gangleri, a powerful force driven by greed and hate, seeks to snatch the Lumistella Stone for his own sinister ambitions. With his army of twisted monsters and beasts known as Lightalfs, Gangleri will launch an attack that will end One True North forever.Now caught in the crosshairs of an ancient prophecy, Nicholas and his new fellowship must battle Gangleri and his army. Can a little boy find the courage to become the noble hero that One True North–and the rest of the universe–so desperately needs? Only if he chooses to believe…

In 1980, while Nelson Mandela languished in jail, an enthusiastic and hopelessly naïve British teenager arrived at a local school in Mandela’s home state of Transkei. Wide-eyed and faced with an unfamiliar world, Treive Nicholas was about to embark on an adventure he would never forget.Looking back on this year forty years later, A Nun and the Pig offers a remarkable insight into this politically charged but little-known part of Africa and a lived experience ranging from the surreal to the heart-warming; the wonderful to the tragic. One minute Nicholas could be entertaining local Thembu chiefs or coaching the Transkei paraplegic sports team for a rare non-racial sporting competition, the next he could be witnessing the terrible death of an infant in a neglected Umtata township.Scrapes with law enforcement agencies increased in frequency and risk as Nicholas railed against the injustices of the apartheid system, and at one point found himself smuggling Communist black liberation literature across South Africa’s borders. Armed only with a camera and bag of dried apricots, his hitchhiking adventures took him thousands of kilometres north to Zambian bush, where events took a dangerous turn near one of Robert Mugabe’s camps.Fear, shock, joy and self-discovery were a daily experience in this forgotten corner of South Africa, where humour and kindness flourished amid grinding poverty and brutal racism. The friendship of a wise and feisty nun kept Treive Nicholas on course, opening his eyes to a side of life unfamiliar to a former milkman from suburban England. Her car, ‘the Pig’, was a trusty but temperamental companion.

Sochy domů a dívka s holubicí. Tak se jmenuje unikátní sochařský projekt českého umělce Krištofa Kintery, který můžete vidět v parku Holubička na Klárově, přímo naproti Kunsthalle Praha. Právě společně s novým pražským prostorem pro umění vydáváme Kinterovu knihu Dívka s holubicí a sochy domů. Fotograficky výpravná publikace na bezmála tří set stranách důsledně mapuje vznik pětatřiceti tunového mikroměsta z betonu & oceli, které vzdává hold odvážné, veřejností ovšem často zatracované architektuře československé minulosti. Proslulý Obchodní dům Kotva manželů Machoninových (1970-75), zmizelý Hotel Praha (1971-1981), kosmická Žižkovská věž Václava Aulického (1985-1992), válkou zasažený Emauzský klášter (1963-68), Mordor neboli Ústřední telekomunikační budova Žižkov (1972-79), dále utopické Kosířské superstruktury (1973-74) či bunkrovitá Státní banka československá (1977-1992) v jedinečném podání Karla Pragera. A nakonec, nad všemi sedmi objekty bdící, nezdolná Dívka s holubicí sochaře Václava Šimka z roku 1958. S knihou Krištofa Kintery, skrze fotografie Martina Poláka, Lukáše Procházky, Matouše Pudila či Vojtěcha Veškrny a Richarda Wiesnera, nahlédnete do nitra brutalistního světa - od prapůvodních plánů a rešerší přes náročnou výrobu těžkotonážních modelů až po finální jeřábové usazení v ekosystému malého parčíku. O padnoucí, maximalistické grafické provedení knihy se postaral Kryštof Doležal a krom textů historika Koryčánka v knize najdete i velký rozhovor mezi Kinterou a Christelle Havranek, hlavní kurátorkou Kunsthalle Praha. "Kouzlo spočívá ve změně měřítek. Co bylo obrovské, je najednou malé. Architekturu odhalujeme ve zcela jiné perspektivě, budovu lépe vnímáme jako celek. Přesně to nám Kinterova socha-model umožňuje." - Rostislav Koryčánek, historik umění a kurátor, autor textů v knize. "Při tvorbě soch jsme vycházeli z budov samotných, ale i z jejich plánů a modelů. Ty tehdy většinou ručně vytvářeli sami architekti v podobě až takové minimalistické reduktivní architektury. Jakmile je porovnáš s těmi našimi návrhy, vzniká ti zajímavá vizuální konfrontace. Tahle kniha je nejlepší možný způsob, jak tuhle paralelu myšlení názorně ukázat a jak ty jednotlivé domy odhalit tak, aby byly kompletně nahé. Odhalené až na kost je totiž vidíš jen když se staví nebo až když se bohužel bourají." - Krištof Kintera, umělec, autor instalace a konceptu knihy.

In this in-depth, engaging guide to the Mahabharata, Hindu Studies scholar Nicholas Sutton explores the central messages of the work’s core narratives and passages of instruction, demonstrating how the questions the text poses are as relevant today as they were to those who composed this mighty treatise on human existence.The Mahabharata is a truly vast work of early Sanskrit literature that reflects on a wide range of issues which have concerned people throughout different epochs. Within the context of Indian culture, the significance of the Mahabharata cannot be overstated, as its themes, characters, narratives, and preoccupations have reverberated across the region for centuries. It is well-known that the whole of the epic is structured around a central narrative that tells of an ancient conflict between two branches of the same royal house, the Pandavas and Kauravas. Yet it is also a clearly didactic work that addresses the fundamental meaning of human existence. In Light on the Mahabharata: A Guide to India’s Great Epic, Nicholas Sutton examines the multi-faceted manner in which the Mahabharata does this, elucidating the diverse and multi-layered answers the text offers to the many questions it raises. Sutton’s book explores why the main characters behave in the manner that they do, the vision of life that motivates them, and the extent to which they are able to prioritise enlightened wisdom over narrow self-interest. Unravelling the Sanskrit epic’s myriad lines of reflection, Light on the Mahabharata demonstrates that the questions the work poses and the range of answers it suggests are as relevant in the present day as they were in remote antiquity.

In this sutra-by-sutra translation and study of the Yoga Sutras, Hindu Studies scholar Nicholas Sutton offers an accessible guide to the complex philosophical ideas on which the ancient practice of Yoga is based, illuminating the meaning of Patañjali’s seminal Yoga treatise and the manner in which it seeks to integrate Yoga into life as a whole.The Yoga Sutras, composed by Patañjali nearly two millenia ago, is foundational to the Yoga systems, and widely regarded as a seminal text for students and practitioners of Yoga alike. While Patañjali’s work is centrally concerned with the exposition of a practice aimed at self-realisation, it is as much interested in the philosophical ideas that underpin the forms of practice it advocates. In Exploring the Yoga Sutras, Nicholas Sutton offers a new translation of the text accompanied by a systematic examination of its ideas, with reference to some of the principal traditional commentaries. Unpacking the layers of meaning embedded in the text, Sutton demonstrates how the Yoga Sutras weaves the philosophy and practice of Yoga together in a subtle blend that provides a framework for understanding the position of the embodied living being within this world and the means by which the world may be transcended. Discussing each sutra, both individually and in the context of different passages, Exploring the Yoga Sutras strives to make the complex ideas of this Yoga classic accessible to the modern reader who may not have a prior grounding in the study of Indian philosophy.

From leading psychologist Nicholas Epley, Mindwise reveals our real sixth sense - our ability to understand our own minds and the minds of othersArguably our brain''s greatest sense is the ability to understand the minds of others - our sixth sense. In Mindwise, renowned psychologist Nicholas Epley shows that this incredible capacity for inferring what others are thinking and feeling is, however sophisticated, still prone to critical errors. We often misread social situations, misjudge others'' characters, or guess the wrong motives for their actions. Drawing on the latest in psychological research, Epley suggests that only by learning more about our sixth sense will we have the humility to overcome these errors and understand others as they actually are instead of as we imagine them to be.''Lucid and magnetic ... a guide to understanding the minds of others'' Independent ''A comfortingly slim volume about the ability we all have to understand others ... how wonderful to have this insight into the extent of our ignorance'' - Dominic Lawson, Sunday Times Nicholas Epley is the John T.

The secret to happiness? Stop trying to find it - it''s not all it''s cracked up to be.Finding happiness is less about learning new tricks and more about unlearning ways of thinking holding you back: Stop chasing happiness, stop obsessing over what others think, stop caring too much about how you feel, stop making sacrifices for personal success.Here, academic and philosopher Frank Martela unpacks why we value happiness, and why chasing it is actually making you miserable. He reveals the secrets to Finland''s continued top rankings in the global happiness reports by showing that, actually, living with purpose and contentment is much more beneficial that striving to be happy. Building on Frank''s personal encounters with people from all walks of life during travels around Finland and abroad, this book blends personal stories and quirky anecdotes with the latest scientific research and ancient traditions to deliver a strong message about how you should approach life: what you should stop doing and what you should start doing instead, to find an enduring sense of contentment and an energizing sense ofpurpose for your own life.

Kniha Skleněná klec je oslavou technologie a současně varováním před jejím nesprávným používáním. Její autor, Nicholas Carr, popisuje osobní, společenské a ekonomické důsledky automatizace; jak změnilo používání počítačů a softwaru k vykonávání činností, které jsme dříve dělávali sami, náš život. Výhody počítačového zpracování dat, robotizované výroby, digitalizovaného lékařství nebo samořídicích automobilů jsou zjevné: automatizace nám výrazně usnadňuje život, šetří náš čas a umožňuje nám činit věci dříve nemožné. Automatizace však má i hlubší a skrytější účinky. A ne všechny z nich jsou prospěšné. Vybírá si svou daň - na naší práci, talentu, životě. Automatizace může zúžit naši perspektivu a omezit možnost volby. Může nás vystavit dohledu a manipulaci. Je načase uvědomit si, že rozhodnutí týkající se používání moderních technologií jsou rovněž rozhodnutími o tom, jak budeme pracovat a jak budeme žít. Je načase položit si otázku, co znamená být člověkem. Nemusíme o nás nechat rozhodovat jiné, můžeme poodstoupit a přemýšlet o technologii kriticky, nemusíme se nechat strhnout vlnou pokroku. A můžeme se bránit. Bránit se invenci neznamená ji odmítat. Znamená to ji pokořit, vrátit pokrok nohama na zem. Nicholas Carr je uznávaný autor píšící o moderních technologiích a jejich vlivu na kulturu. Jeho knihy byly přeloženy do více než dvaceti jazyků. Carr je autorem bestselleru The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains.

Introduction and Notes by Dr T.C.B. Cook Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz). Following the success of Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby was hailed as a comic triumph and firmly established Dickens as a 'literary gentleman'. It has a full supporting cast of delectable characters that range from the iniquitous Wackford Squeers and his family, to the delightful Mrs Nickleby, taking in the eccentric Crummles and his travelling players, the Mantalinis, the Kenwigs and many more. Combining these with typically Dickensian elements of burlesque and farce, the novel is eminently suited to dramatic adaptation. So great was the impact as it left Dickens' pen that many pirated versions appeared in print before the original was even finished. Often neglected by critics, Nicholas Nickleby has never ceased to delight readers and is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic masterpieces of nineteenth-centure literature.

The push for net zero has become a new arena for class conflict, where the powerful profit and the rest suffer. Nicholas Beuret''s incisive critique and actionable strategies empower us to fight for a truly sustainable and equitable future.The transition to a decarbonized economy has ignited a new arena of class conflict, one that subtly invades our home, workplaces, and across our communities. Our rush toward net zero is not as straightforward as it seems. Claims of sustainability disguise a zero-sum battle where the powerful profit and the everyday person pays the price through a diminishing quality of life.In The War of Transition, Nicholas Beuret unravels the complexities of the green economy. Energy bills soar by 80%, and even the most basic necessities become scarce luxuries. He reveals a landscape marred by geopolitical struggles, green colonialism, and a relentless squeeze on living standards. With the result that the climate crisis and industrial practices systematically degrade our essential resources—food, water, and people—to ensure business remains profitable.The War of Transition exposes the stark realities of the so-called green transition and the need for a radical reimagining of how we fight for a just, sustainable future.  It follows those already fighting back—with refusal, counter-planning, and blockade—to seize control of the transition and forge a path to a truly livable world.

A groundbreaking reassessment of W. H. Auden’s early life and poetry, shedding new light on his artistic development as well as on his shifting beliefs about political belonging in interwar England.W. H. Auden is a towering figure in modern literary history with a complex private self. Hannah Arendt wrote that he had ‘the necessary secretiveness of the great poet’. The Island lays bare for the first time some of the most telling ‘secrets’ of Auden’s early poetry, his world, his emotional life, his values and the sources of his art.In a book that is an argument but also a story, Nicholas Jenkins gives compelling readings of iconic poems. He presents Auden in the inter-War years as both a visionary writer, creatively dependent on dreams and intuitions, and a traumatized poet, haunted by war and suffering, and shadowed by his outsider status as a privileged but queer man.The Island considers, as well, Auden’s imaginative flirtations with a lyrical nationalism appealing to a poet who, for a while, felt his psyche was like a map of English culture. The narrative ends in Auden’s disillusionment with these potent myths and beliefs and the time when he left ‘the island’.Auden’s preoccupations – with the vicissitudes of war and the problems of love, belonging and identity – are of their time but they still resonate profoundly today. ‘A superb, deeply researched study of Auden’s early work and identity. Jenkins’s understanding of young Auden as a poet shaped and haunted by the First World War – assimilating the influence of Wilfred Owen, Edward Thomas, Robert Graves, and W. H. R. Rivers – is convincing, original, and poignant. Fusing biography, cultural history, and literary criticism in innovative and elegant ways, The Island is a landmark publication in modernist studies.’Heather Clark, author of Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath‘Nicholas Jenkins is one of our most perceptive and resourceful critics. In this wonderful study of the early Auden, he brings to bear history, biography, and an acute sense of the artistic moment to fashion for us a young genius who is conservative, bucolic, gay, a patriotic adherent of post-imperial Little England. Most people work backwards from a writer’s ultimate reputation, but Jenkins gives us a new, unexpected image of a poet developing in the aftermath of World War I and the collapse of modernism.’Edmund White, author of The Humble Lover‘The Island is a Copernican Revolution in Auden studies, a revelatory and often exciting book that presents a new and convincing account of Auden''s early years. It explores, for the first time, the deep connections between the inner workings of his poems and the worlds of politics and economics. By bringing to light Auden''s ambition to be a national poet, Jenkins transforms our understanding of not only Auden himself but all of modernist literature.’Edward Mendelson, author of Early Auden and Later Auden

‘A delight for anyone whose heart thumps at the sight of dawn, dusk and hazy light’ Nell FrizzellAt first, I didn’t find fog – fog found me. Liminal, transformative and increasingly elusive – far from a simple cloud of water droplets, fog is a state of mind. As mist drifted through a copse of trees, turning a familiar place strange and otherworldly, Laura Pashby snapped a photograph and an obsession began. Pashby hunts for fog, walks and swims in it, explores its often pivotal role in literature, mythology and history, as well as its environmental significance. There has been a 50 per cent drop in 'fog events' in the past fifty years, fog is drifting away without us noticing and the ecological impact could be calamitous. As she journeys to the foggiest places she can find, Pashby immerses herself in Dartmoor’s dangerous fog, searches for the Scottish haar, experiences Venice’s magical mist, tell us the myths behind the River Severn’s fog and the shipwrecks it hides. It’s easy to get lost in fog, but sometimes it’s where imperceptible things can be found, including in ourselves. Chasing Fog is a captivating meditation on fog and mist, a love song to weather and nature’s power to transform.

Late one evening the telephone rings, and on the line is a stranger. They tell you that your nine-year-old son gave them your number. Your heart stops. You tell them that your son has been dead for almost 20 years. They know this, they say. He wants you to come and see him.Ghosts. Poltergeists. Psychic powers.What do you do when reality begins to fray around you? Where do you go when science cannot explain your experiences? The Society for Psychical Research was founded to tackle these very questions and to shine light on the shadowy world of the supernatural. Distinguished members have included prime ministers and Nobel Prize-winning scientists.But the most prolific of all the SPR's paranormal investigators was a young British naval officer named Tony Cornell. A rationalist and a sceptic he became haunted by a wartime encounter in India that changed everything . Between 1950 and 2010 he became perhaps the world's most prolific investigator of psychic phenomena and paranormal events. Alongside his colleague, the psychologist Alan Gauld, they combined the roles of detectives, exorcists and psychiatrists, returning time and again to the unsettling spaces that exist on the very periphery of our tidy, rational lives: Ghosts. Poltergeists. Psychic powers.Drawing on a previously untapped archive of Cornell's case files, which survive as a unique repository of encounters reported by ordinary people, Chasing the Dark is the compelling story of our relationship with the supernatural. What do these atmospheric and often chilling cases teach us about who we are, and the anxieties that consume us? And why do the dead still find ways to make themselves known?
