Jungle Commandos - Lucy Betteridge-Dyson

Drawing on unpublished first-hand accounts, this is a gripping history of the experiences of the Commandos and their unsung allies in one of the bloodiest battles of the Burma Campaign.Following the battles of Kohima and Imphal in mid-1944, the tide was turning against the Imperial Japanese Army. By the end of that fateful year, the Allies were preparing to launch an offensive in the Arakan region of Burma, to deliver a knockout blow to the increasingly desperate Japanese 28th Army. This fascinating new history details the actions of 3 Commando Brigade, who would spearhead this attack in a series of daring amphibious landings into the depths of the Burmese jungle, culminating in the brutal fight for Hill 170.They would be the only Commando Brigade to serve in the Far East, yet their story has never before been told in detail. With access to previously unseen primary sources, this book is the story of the men who volunteered for a fight against a fearless enemy, 5000 miles away from home in one of the most unforgiving environments in the world. Thrown into combat with limited jungle training and scant resources, it would be a baptism of fire, but the Commandos, alongside the brave men of the Indian and West African Divisions of XV Corps, would inflict a terrible defeat on an enemy once thought to be unbeatable.Written by a granddaughter of a Commando veteran who fought at Arakan, this new book shines a light on a largely forgotten yet crucial battle of World War II.

Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Dagger - Leroy Thompson

The Fairbairn-Sykes Commando dagger has become iconic as the most widely recognized fighting knife in the world. The origins of the dagger can be traced to Shanghai in the 1930s where W. E. Fairbairn and US Marine officers including Sam Yeaton carried out experiments to develop what they considered the perfect knife for close combat. When Fairbairn and Sykes became instructors for the Commandos, they refined the design which would evolve into the classic Fairbairn-Sykes dagger. The dagger was first used during early Commando raids into occupied Europe but saw action in every theatre of World War II. US Rangers and Marines who had trained with the Commandos took their Fairbairn-Sykes daggers home, and this also influenced the development of American Special Forces daggers. The Fairbairn-Sykes remained in use with many units after the war. It has become a symbol of Commando and special forces units throughout the world.

A Place like No Other - Anthony R. E. Sinclair

From famed zoologist Anthony Sinclair, an account of his decades-long quest to understand one of Earth s most spectacular ecosystemsWith its rich biodiversity, astounding wildlife, and breathtaking animal migrations, Serengeti is like no other ecosystem on the planet. A Place like No Other is Anthony Sinclair s firsthand account of how he and other scientists discovered the biological principles that regulate life in Serengeti and how they rule all of the natural world. When Sinclair first began studying this spectacular ecosystem in 1965, a host of questions confronted him. What environmental features make its annual migration possible? What determines the size of animal populations and the stunning diversity of species? What factors enable Serengeti to endure over time? In the five decades that followed, Sinclair and others sought answers. What they learned is that seven principles of regulation govern all natural processes in the Serengeti ecosystem. Sinclair shows how these principles can help us to understand and overcome the challenges facing Serengeti today, and how they can be used to repair damaged habitats throughout the world. Blending vivid storytelling with invaluable scientific insights from Sinclair s pioneering fieldwork in Africa, A Place like No Other reveals how Serengeti holds timely lessons for the restoration and conservation of our vital ecosystems.

Lifespan - David Sinclair

In this paradigm-shifting book from acclaimed Harvard Medical School doctor and one of TIME magazine s 100 most influential people on earth, Dr. David Sinclair reveals that everything we think we know about ageing is wrong, and shares the surprising, scientifically-proven methods that can help readers live younger, longer. For decades, the medical community has looked to a variety of reasons for why we age, and the consensus is that no one dies of old age; they die of age-related diseases. That s because ageing is not a disease - it is inevitable. But what if everything you think you know about ageing is wrong? What if ageing is a disease? And that disease is curable. In THE EVOLUTION OF AGEING, Dr. David Sinclair, one of the world s foremost authorities on genetics and ageing, argues just that. He has dedicated his life s work to chasing more than a longer lifespan - he wants to enable people to live longer, healthier, and disease-free well into our hundreds. In this book, he reveals a bold new theory of ageing, one that pinpoints a root cause of ageing that lies in an ancient genetic survival circuit.This genetic trick - a circuit designed to halt reproduction in order to repair damage to the genome -has enabled earth s early microcosms to survive and evolve into more advanced organisms. But this same survival circuit is the reason we age: as genetic damage accumulates over our lifespans from UV rays, environmental toxins, and unhealthy diets, our genome is overwhelmed, causing gray hair, wrinkles, achy joints, heart issues, dementia, and, ultimately, death. But genes aren t our destiny; we have more control over them than we ve been taught to believe.We can t change our DNA, but we can harness the power of the epigenome to realise the true potential of our genes. Drawing on his cutting-edge findings at the forefront of medical research, Dr. Sinclair will provide a scientifically-proven roadmap to reverse the genetic clock by activating our vitality genes, so we can live younger longer.Readers will discover how a few simple lifestyle changes - like intermittent fasting, avoiding too much animal protein, limiting sugar, avoiding x-rays, exercising with the right intensity, and even trying cold therapy - can activate our vitality genes. Dr. Sinclair ends the book with a look to the near future, exploring what the world might look like - and what will need to change - when we are all living well to 120 or more.Dr. Sinclair takes what we have long accepted as the limits of human potential and mortality and turns them into choices. THE EVOLUTION OF AGEING is destined to be the biggest book on genes, biology, and longevity of this decade.

The Jungle - Upton Sinclair

One of the most powerful, provocative and enduring novels to expose social injustice ever published in the United States, Upton Sinclair s The Jungle contains an introduction by Ronald Gottesman in Penguin Classics.Upton Sinclair s dramatic and deeply moving story exposed the brutal conditions in the Chicago stockyards at the turn of the nineteenth century and brought into sharp moral focus the appalling odds against which immigrants and other working people struggled for their share of the American Dream. Denounced by the conservative press as an un-American libel on the meatpacking industry, and condemned for Sinclair s unabashed promotion of Socialism and unionisation as a solution to the exploitation of workers, the book was championed by more progressive thinkers, including then President Theodore Roosevelt, and was a major catalyst to the passing of the Pure Food and Meat Inspection act, which has tremendous impact to this day.Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) was born into an impoverished Baltimore family, the son of an alcoholic liquor salesman. At fifteen, he began writing a series of dime novels to pay for his education at the City College of New York, and he was later accepted to do graduate work at Columbia. While there, he published a number of novels, but his breakthrough was The Jungle (1906), a scathing indictment of the vile health and working conditions of the Chicago meat-packing industry. After a dalliance with politics, Sinclair returned to novel-writing, winning the Pulitzer Prize for his account of the Nazi takeover of Germany in Dragon s Teeth (1942).If you enjoyed The Jungle, you might like Saul Bellow s The Adventures of Augie March, also available in Penguin Classics.

Star Wars Republic Commando: Hard Contact - Karen Travissová

As the Clone Wars rage, victory or defeat lies in the hands of elite squads who take on the toughest assignments in the galaxy ... On a mission to sabotage a chemical weapon research facility on a Separatist-held planet, four clone troopers operate under the very noses of their enemies. The commandos are outnumbered and outgunned, deep behind enemy lines with no backup - and working with strangers instead of trusted team-mates. Matters don t improve when Darman, the squad s demolitions expert, gets separated from the others during planetfall. Even Darman s apparent good luck in meeting an inexperienced Padawan vanishes once Etain admits to her woeful inexperience.For the separated clone commandos and stranded Jedi, a long, dangerous journey lies ahead, through hostile territory brimming with Trandoshan slavers, Separatists, and suspicious natives. A single misstep could mean discovery ... and death. It s a virtual suicide mission for anyone - anyone except the Republic Commandos.

Konec stárnutí - David Sinclair - audiokniha

Audiokniha: „Konec stárnutí je poutavá a svižná kniha – strhne vás do víru poznatků současnosti a možností blízké budoucnosti, v níž se devadesátníci stávají novými sedmdesátníky.“ — časopis Nature O knize Říká se, že stáří je přirozené a jeho následky neodvratitelné. Říká se, že poslední desetiletí života jsme odsouzeni trpět nemocemi. Kdo by chtěl žít do sta let, když nás čeká jen bolestné přežívání a žádná zábava? David Sinclair spolu s dalšími předními odborníky na dlouhověkost však toto paradigma mění, když dokažuje, že STÁRNUTÍ JE NEMOC, KTEROU LZE LÉČIT. Autor odhaduje, že se i vy dožijete sta let. A po přečtení knihy zjistíte, že nepřehání. Věda dnes dokáže zbrzdit, zastavit i zvrátit stárnutí zvířat, klinické studie na lidech se chystají. Jejich cílem však není pouhé prodloužení života, ale také zachování zdraví a vitality. Seznamte se i vy s posledními výzkumy, s nově vyvíjenými způsoby léčby a s tím, jak tyto poznatky aplikovat již teď ve svém životě. A raději začněte plánovat, kam vezmete své prapravnuky na výlet. V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte - Že stárnutí není předem zabudováno do DNA – významnou roli při něm hraje opravitelná kumulace epigenetického šumu. - Co je to hormeze a jak aktivně zpomalovat stárnutí otužováním, půstem a dalšími úpravami životního stylu. - Které potraviny, doplňky a léky mají nejlepší laboratorně prokázané účinky proti stárnutí. - Jak je možné už dnes pracovat na tom, aby naše poslední dekády byly i nejlepšími léty našeho života. - Proč zdravé stáří a delší život lidstva nepředstavují hrozbu, ale naopak požehnání pro planetu i ekonomiku. O autorech David A. Sinclair (* 1969) je profesor genetiky na Harvardské lékařské fakultě a člen správní rady Americké federace pro výzkum stárnutí. Za svůj výzkum a významné vědecké průlomy získal více než třicet pět ocenění. Podle časopisu Time patří mezi 100 nejvlivnějších lidí na světě a TOP 50 ve zdravotnictví. Jeho práce byly představeny v magazínech Today, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Fortune či Newsweek. S manželkou a třemi dětmi žije v Bostonu, rád se věnuje pěší turistice a jízdě na kajaku. Matthew LaPlante je bývalý zpravodajec amerického námořnictva a válečný korespondent na Blízkém východě, nyní přednáší žurnalistiku na Utažské státní univerzitě. Je autorem knihy Superlative: The Biology of Extremes (Superlativ: Biologie extrémů) a vedle Konce stárnutí spoluautorem několika dalších. Žije v Salt Lake City. „Pokud jste si někdy kladli otázku, jak stárneme, jestli můžeme stárnutí zpomalit, nebo dokonce zvrátit a jestli se lze ve zdraví dožít stovky, nová kniha Davida Sinclaira Konec stárnutí vám představí vědecké poznatky i praktické strategie, jak si zajistit celoživotní zdraví a dlouhý život plný energie.“ — Mark Hyman, M. D., ředitel Centra funkční medicíny na Cleveland Clinic „Tohle je nejvíce vizionářská kniha o stárnutí, jakou jsem kdy četl. Užívejte dne – a užijte si tuhle knihu!.“ — Dean Ornish, M. D., zakladatel a prezident Výzkumného ústavu preventivní medicíny „David Sinclair nám ve své knize Konec stárnutí výmluvně prozrazuje tajemství, které by chtěl znát každý: jak žít déle a stárnout pomaleji. Dožívat se více než sta let je podle něj nejen možné, ale jednoho dne to nevyhnutelně musí přijít. Chcete-li vědět, jak vyzrát na stárnutí, je pro vás tahle kniha povinnou četbou.“ — William W.

Dresden - Sinclair McKay

A Times/Sunday Times Book of the Year Powerful . . . there is rage in his ink. McKay s book grips by its passion and originality. Some 25,000 people perished in the firestorm that raged through the city. I have never seen it better described Max Hastings, Sunday TimesIn February 1945 the Allies obliterated Dresden, the Florence of the Elbe . Explosive bombs weighing over 1,000 lbs fell every seven and a half seconds and an estimated 25,000 people were killed. Was Dresden a legitimate military target or was the bombing a last act of atavistic mass murder in a war already won?From the history of the city to the attack itself, conveyed in a minute-by-minute account from the first of the flares to the flames reaching almost a mile high - the wind so searingly hot that the lungs of those in its path were instantly scorched - through the eerie period of reconstruction, bestselling author Sinclair McKay creates a vast canvas and brings it alive with touching human detail.Along the way we encounter, among many others across the city, a Jewish woman who thought the English bombs had been sent from heaven, novelist Kurt Vonnegut who wrote that the smouldering landscape was like walking on the surface of the moon, and 15-year-old Winfried Bielss, who, having spent the evening ushering refugees, wanted to get home to his stamp collection. He was not to know that there was not enough time.Impeccably researched and deeply moving, McKay uses never-before-seen sources to relate the untold stories of civilians and vividly conveys the texture of contemporary life. Dresden is invoked as a byword for the illimitable cruelties of war, but with the distance of time, it is now possible to approach this subject with a much clearer gaze, and with a keener interest in the sorts of lives that ordinary people lived and lost, or tried to rebuild.Writing with warmth and colour about morality in war, the instinct for survival, the gravity of mass destruction and the manipulation of memory, this is a master historian at work. Churchill said that if bombing cities was justified, it was always repugnant. Sinclair McKay has written a shrewd, humane and balanced account of this most controversial target of the Anglo-American strategic bombing campaign, the ferocious consequence of the scourge of Nazism Allan Mallinson, author of Fight to the Finish Beautifully-crafted, elegiac, compelling - Dresden delivers with a dark intensity and incisive compassion rarely equalled. Authentic and authoritative, a masterpiece of its genre Damien Lewis, author of Zero Six Bravo Compelling . . . Sinclair McKay brings a dark subject vividly to life Keith Lowe, author of Savage Continent This is a brilliantly clear, and fair, account of one of the most notorious and destructive raids in the history aerial warfare. From planning to execution, the story is told by crucial participants - and the victims who suffered so cruelly on the ground from the attack itself and its aftermath Robert Fox, author of We Were There

Secret Britain - Sinclair McKay

Discover the stories of the brave men and women who worked, trained and fought across the UK, from Bletchley Park in southern England all the way to Arisaig in northern Scotland, in an unbelievable effort to defeat the Nazis and win the Second World War .From the outset of the war, most of Britain felt like a mystery even to those who lived there. All road and railway signs were removed up and down the country to thwart potential enemy spies. An invisible web of cunning spread across the United Kingdom; secret laboratories were hidden in marshes, underground bases were built to conceal key strategic plans and grand country houses became secret and silent locations for eccentric boffins to do their confidential cryptography work.In Secret Britain, Sinclair McKay maps out the UK through the hidden bases and battlegrounds of WWII. These locations are full of history and intrigue, but if you don t know where to look, you might just miss them. Journeying through secret wildernesses, suburbs, underground tunnels and manor houses, Sinclair gives a glimpse into the stories of the incredible people behind the war effort, and shows how you might be able to visit these mysterious and evocative locations yourself.With his trademark warmth and compassion, Sinclair unearths the truths of the war that have remained under layers of secrecy since the war was won in 1945.

Star Wars: Imperial Commando: 501st - Karen Travissová

The Clone Wars are over, but for those with reason to run from the new galactic Empire, the battle to survive has only just begun. . .. The Jedi have been decimated in the Great Purge, and the Republic has fallen. Now the former Republic Commandos-the galaxy s finest special forces troops, cloned from Jango Fett-find themselves on opposing sides and in very different armor.Some have deserted and fled to Mandalore with the mercenaries, renegade clone troopers, and rogue Jedi who make up Kal Skirata s ragtag resistance to Imperial occupation. Others-including men from Delta and Omega squads-now serve as Imperial Commandos, a black ops unit within Vader s own 501st Legion, tasked to hunt down fugitive Jedi and clone deserters. For Darman, grieving for his Jedi wife and separated from his son, it s an agonizing test of loyalty.But he s not the only one who ll be forced to test the ties of brotherhood. On Mandalore, clone deserters and the planet s own natives, who have no love for the Jedi, will have their most cherished beliefs challenged. In the savage new galactic order, old feuds may have to be set aside to unite against a far bigger threat, and nobody can take old loyalties for granted.

Konec stárnutí - David Sinclair

Říká se, že stáří je přirozené a jeho následky neodvratitelné. Že poslední desetiletí života jsou nutně spojena s nemocemi a utrpením. Kdo by pak chtěl žít do sta let, pokud by to znamenalo jen bolestné přežívání? David Sinclair spolu s předními odborníky na dlouhověkost toto paradigma mění: dokazuje, že STÁRNUTÍ JE NEMOC, KTEROU LZE LÉČIT.Autor odhaduje, že i vy se můžete dožít sta let – a po přečtení knihy zjistíte, že nepřehání. Věda dnes umí zbrzdit, zastavit a dokonce i zvrátit stárnutí zvířat, a klinické studie na lidech jsou již na obzoru. Cílem není jen prodloužení života, ale především zachování zdraví a vitality. Seznamte se s nejnovějšími výzkumy, novými způsoby léčby a naučte se, jak tyto poznatky využít ve svém životě už dnes. Možná nastal čas začít plánovat, kam vezmete své prapravnuky na výlet.V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte že stárnutí není zabudováno v DNA – zásadní roli hraje kumulace epigenetického šumu, kterou lze opravit, co je to hormeze a jak zpomalovat stárnutí pomocí otužování, půstu a dalších úprav životního stylu, které potraviny, doplňky a léky mají laboratorně prokázané účinky proti stárnutí, jak už dnes pracovat na tom, aby se poslední dekády staly nejlepšími lety života, proč delší a zdravější život není hrozbou, ale naopak požehnáním pro planetu i ekonomiku. O autorechDavid A. Sinclair (*1969) je profesor genetiky na Harvardské lékařské fakultě a člen správní rady Americké federace pro výzkum stárnutí.

Koniec starnutia - David Sinclair

Je zdanlivo nepopierateľnou pravdou, že starnutie je nevyhnutné. Avšak čo ak všetko, čomu sme sa naučili veriť o starnutí, je nesprávne? Dr. David Sinclair, popredný svetový odborník na genetiku a dlhovekosť, v tejto knihe odhaľuje, že starnutie je choroba, ktorá sa dá liečiť. Jeho kniha otvára oči, provokuje a zavedie nás do prvej línie výskumu, ktorý posúva hranice nášho vnímania vedeckých obmedzení a odhaľuje neuveriteľné objavy. Mnohé z nich pochádzajú z vlastného laboratória Dr. Davida Sinclaira na Harvarde a ukazujú, ako môžeme spomaliť alebo dokonca zvrátiť starnutie. Kľúčom je aktivácia novoobjavených génov vitality, potomkov starobylého genetického obvodu prežitia, ktorý je príčinou starnutia a zároveň kľúčovým faktorom jeho zvrátenia. Nedávne experimenty v oblasti genetického preprogramovania naznačujú, že v blízkej budúcnosti sa možno budeme môcť nielen cítiť mladší, ale aj skutočne omladnúť. Dr. Sinclair prostredníctvom pútavého rozprávania pozýva čitateľa do procesu vedeckého objavovania, odhaľuje nové technológie a jednoduché zmeny životného štýlu, ktoré nám pomôžu žiť dlhšie mladší a zdravší. Je to zároveň plán, ako prevziať zodpovednosť za naše vlastné zdravie, a odvážna nová vízia pre budúcnosť ľudstva. Táto kniha navždy zmení spôsob, akým premýšľame o tom, prečo starneme a čo s tým môžeme urobiť.

Party Wars - Barbara Sinclair

Party Wars is the first book to describe how the ideological gulf now separating the two major parties developed and how today s fierce partisan competition affects the political process and national policy.Barbara Sinclair traces the current ideological divide to changes in the Republican party in the 1970s and 1980s, including the rise of neoconservativism and the Religious Right. Because of these historical developments, Democratic and Republican voters today differ substantially in what they consider good public policy, and so do the politicians they elect. Polarization has produced institutional consequences in the House of Representatives and in the Senate - witness the majority party s threat in 2004-2005 to use the nuclear option of abolishing the filibuster. The president s strategies for dealing with Congress have also been affected, raising the price of compromise with the opposing party and allowing a Republican president to govern largely from the ideological right. Other players in the national policy community - interest groups, think tanks, and the media - have also joined one or the other partisan team. Party Wars puts all the parts together to provide the first government-wide survey of the impact of polarization on national politics. Sinclair pinpoints weaknesses in the highly polarized system and offers several remedies.

In Pariah Genius, literary giant Iain Sinclair follows in the footsteps of photographer John Deakin, whose chronicles of Soho life - and the world of Francis Bacon and his friends - have so influenced our perception of that generation s work. In this bold fictionalisation, Sinclair enters the underworld of Deakin s life and imagination, pursuing his subject across continents, in dive bars, and bedrooms. The result is an engrossing, utterly unique portrait of a man who some felt was a fallen angel, and others, the devil himself.

How to Say Babylon - Safiya Sinclair

National Book Critics Circle Award Winner A New York Times Notable Book A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick! A Best Book of 2023 by the New York Times, Time, The Washington Post, Vulture, Shelf Awareness, Goodreads, Esquire, The Atlantic, NPR, and Barack Obama With echoes of Educated and Born a Crime, How to Say Babylon is the stunning story of the author’s struggle to break free of her rigid Rastafarian upbringing, ruled by her father’s strict patriarchal views and repressive control of her childhood, to find her own voice as a woman and poet.Throughout her childhood, Safiya Sinclair’s father, a volatile reggae musician and militant adherent to a strict sect of Rastafari, became obsessed with her purity, in particular, with the threat of what Rastas call Babylon, the immoral and corrupting influences of the Western world outside their home. He worried that womanhood would make Safiya and her sisters morally weak and impure, and believed a woman’s highest virtue was her obedience. In an effort to keep Babylon outside the gate, he forbade almost everything. In place of pants, the women in her family were made to wear long skirts and dresses to cover their arms and legs, head wraps to cover their hair, no make-up, no jewelry, no opinions, no friends. Safiya’s mother, while loyal to her father, nonetheless gave Safiya and her siblings the gift of books, including poetry, to which Safiya latched on for dear life. And as Safiya watched her mother struggle voicelessly for years under housework and the rigidity of her father’s beliefs, she increasingly used her education as a sharp tool with which to find her voice and break free. Inevitably, with her rebellion comes clashes with her father, whose rage and paranoia explodes in increasing violence. As Safiya’s voice grows, lyrically and poetically, a collision course is set between them. How to Say Babylon is Sinclair’s reckoning with the culture that initially nourished but ultimately sought to silence her; it is her reckoning with patriarchy and tradition, and the legacy of colonialism in Jamaica. Rich in lyricism and language only a poet could evoke, How to Say Babylon is both a universal story of a woman finding her own power and a unique glimpse into a rarefied world we may know how to name, Rastafari, but one we know little about.

There is no evidence to suggest otherwise.A RISING BODY COUNTThen DS Max Craigie discovers that five other women in the last year have died by falling off mountains, and something feels very wrong. They were all experienced climbers and alone when they died. This can only mean one thing: thereâ ™s a killer on the loose.A KILLER IN THE SHADOWSThe more Max investigates, the more he believes that they are dealing with something much bigger than a lone serial killer.
