Dancehalls, Glitterballs and Djs - Lindsay Bruce

The history of disco and its predecessors is often portrayed as one of glamour and excess. Dancehalls, Glitterballs and DJs expands this history, to encompass tatty but much-loved provincial dancehalls, mobile DJs with home-made light shows and rusty vans, one-hit-wonders on the chicken-in-a-basket circuit, and nights out with Jane Austen. It''s a vital, fun-packed history of a cultural movement that, despite the vagaries of fashion, remains part of the entertainment scene today. Dancehalls, Glitterballs and DJs begins in Georgian Britain''s Assembly Rooms and Pleasure Gardens, then moves through the vulgar activities in the penny gaffes, the arrival of the first gramophone and disc jockey, the Jazz Age, the swing-era dance bands, and the post-war ascendency of recorded music and the discotheque. It then explores the dance music scene that spread across Britain''s towns and cities, when teens and twenty-somethings danced where glamour meant no denim, no trainers--a world epitomised by the disco music boom of the 1970s. The story closes at the end of the ''70s, when mainstream culture did much to turn disco from a cutting-edge movement to something of a laughing stock among trendsetters and popular music fans. The book ends by appraising disco''s place in the entertainment scene of the 2020s, where classics of the genre are as popular as ever.

Athens - Bruce Clark

A sweeping history of Athens, telling the three-thousand-year story of the birthplace of Western civilization, from Runciman Award winner Bruce Clark ''A stunning retrospect and beautifully written overview of one of the world''s greatest cities'' Paul Cartledge''Courageously grand in scale yet sensitive to the details that make Athens'' extraordinary history come alive'' Sofka Zinovieff''Bruce Clark brings an eye for the quirky, human detail, a pithy turn of phrase, and an affection for his subject honed over many decades'' Roderick Beaton''Bruce Clark''s enchantingly readable history revealed how little I knew'' Literary ReviewDominated by the pillars and pediments of the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to Athena, goddess of wisdom, the ancient Greek city of Athens is for many synonymous with civilization itself.Athens: City of Wisdom tells the tale of a city that occupies a unique place in the cultural memory of the West. Each of the book''s twenty-one chapters focuses on a critical ''moment'' in the city''s long history, from the reforms of the lawmaker Solon in the sixth century BCE to the travails of early twenty-first-century Athens, as a rapidly expanding city struggles with the legacy of a global economic crisis. Bruce Clark has a rich and revealing sequence of stories to tell – not only of the familiar golden age of Classical Athens, of the removal from the Acropolis of the Parthenon marbles by agents of the 7th Earl of Elgin in the early nineteenth century, or of the holding of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896; but also of the less fêted later years of antiquity, when St Paul preached on the Areopagus and neo Platonists refounded the Academy that Sulla''s legions had desecrated. He also delves into Athens'' forgotten medieval centuries, unearthing jewels gleaming in the Byzantine twilight, and tales of Christian fortitude and erratic Turkish governance from the four centuries of Ottoman rule that followed.Few places have enjoyed a history so rich in artistic creativity and the making of ideas as Athens; or one so curiously patterned by alternating cycles of turbulence and quietness. Writing with scholarly rigour and undisguised affection, Bruce Clark brings three thousand years of Athenian history vividly to life.

Filled with full-colour photographs and rare archival material, it is a compelling and beautifully illustrated portrait of two outsiders-one Black and one white-looking for a way to connect their unconventional searches for meaning, identity, and community with the American story itself.It includes:· Original introductions by President Obama and Bruce Springsteen· Exclusive new material from the Renegades podcast recording sessions· Obama''s never-before-seen annotated speeches, including his "Remarks at the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Marches· Springsteen''s handwritten lyrics for songs spanning his 50-year-long career· Rare and exclusive photographs from the authors'' personal archives· Historical photographs and documents that provide rich visual context for their conversation.In a recording studio stocked with dozens of guitars, and on at least one Corvette ride, Obama and Springsteen discuss marriage and fatherhood, race and masculinity, the lure of the open road and the call back to home. They also compare notes on their favourite protest songs, the most inspiring American heroes of all time, and more. Along the way, they reveal their passion for-and the occasional toll of-telling a bigger, truer story about America throughout their careers, and explore how their fractured country might begin to find its way back toward unity.

Cynical Theories - James Lindsay, Pluckrose Helen

BOOK OF THE YEAR in The Times, the Sunday Times and the Financial TimesHave you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only white people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed so quickly to challenge the very logic of Western society?Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma behind these ideas, from its origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields. Today this dogma is recognisable as much by its effects, such as cancel culture and social-media pile-ons, as by its assertions, which are all too often taken as read: knowledge is a social construct; science and reason are tools of oppression; all human interactions are sites of oppressive power play; and language is dangerous. As they warn, the unchecked proliferation of these beliefs present a threat to liberal democracy.While acknowledging the need to challenge the complacency of those who think a just society has been fully achieved, Pluckrose and Lindsay break down how often-radical activist scholarship does far more harm than good, not least to those marginalised communities it claims to champion.

How to Have Impossible Conversations - Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay

In our current political climate, it seems impossible to have a civil conversation with someone who has a different opinion. Dialogue is shut down when perspectives clash. Heated debates on Facebook and Twitter often lead to shaming, hindering any possibility of productive discourse. How to Have Impossible Conversations guides readers through the process of having effective, civil discussions about any divisive issues--not just religious faith but climate change, race, gender, poverty, immigration, and gun control. Coauthors Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay distinguish between two types of conversations: those that are oriented toward arriving at truth, and those that may require changing the beliefs of people who do not want their beliefs changed (interventions). They then guide readers through the straightforward, practical, conversational techniques necessary for every successful conversation, up to expert- and master-level techniques to deal with hardliners and extremists. With key principles like the "Seven Fundamentals Necessary for Good Conversations," this book is the manual everyone needs to foster connection and empathy with anyone.

Lost Badenoch and Strathspey - Bruce Bishop

Badenoch and Strathspey is a land of many contrasts, and in modern times a land of many uses. Not always has it been the playground of winter sports enthusiasts and a mecca for tourists - for centuries the mountains which protected the province of Moray to the north and the Highland glens to the west were an obstacle to travel and a haven for cattle thieves and reivers.In this fascinating book, illustrated with over 100 period photographs, Bruce B. Bishop explores the changing face of the area over millennia, from the Ice Age, Pictish and Celtic times through the coming of Christianity, the Jacobite rebellions, the more leisured Victorian age, and the twentieth century. Being a rural part of the country, Lost Badenoch and Strathspey covers not only lost buildings - churches, castles and other structures in the main settlements of Badenoch and Strathspey, Aberlour, Tomintoul, Grantown-on-Spey, Aviemore, Kingussie, Newtonmore and Dallwhinnie - but also lost ways of life and industry, from droving and fishing to milling, transportation.

Lost Moray and Nairn - Bruce Bishop

In Lost Moray and Nairn, Bruce Bishop traces what has been ''lost'' from the old counties of Moray and Nairn, both architecturally and socially. Packed with illustrations of places, buildings and of aspects of life which are now vanished, and containing a history of various elements of life in the area, Bishop illustrates changes in the way of life of the people of the Burghs of Nairn, Forres and Elgin, and in the smaller towns and villages. The effect of these lost elements on the coastal towns is also discussed, with particular focus placed on the demise of the ports of Findhorn, Nairn and Garmouth, and the more recent decline in the fishing industry.His journey trough the region takes him from prehistory to the present day, and examines everything from geology, architecture, agriculture, industry, to communications. Lost Moray and Nairn is an important, illuminating and compelling account and a worthy addition to the Birlinn series.

Liars and Outliers - Bruce Schneier

Praise for LIARS & OUTLIERS "Without trust, nothing can be achieved. Liars and Outliers is a brilliant analysis of the role of trust in society and business."—Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum "Schneier absolutely understands how profoundly trust oils the wheels of business and of daily life."—Margaret Heffernan, Author of Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future and Beyond Measure: The Big Impact of Small Changes "Liars and Outliers is an absolutely fascinating and groundbreaking book. While written years before AI, which is often seen as a catch-all to solve all of humanity's problems, Schneier compellingly shows that in our complex society, there are no simple solutions."—Ben Rothke, Senior Information Security Manager, Tapad "Brilliantly dissects, classifies, and orders the social dimension of security-a spectacularly palatable tonic against today's incoherent and dangerous flailing in the face of threats from terrorism to financial fraud."—Cory Doctorow, Author of Little Brother and Makers, Co-editor of BoingBoing.net "Trust is the sine qua non of the networked age and trust is predicated on security. Bruce Schneier's expansive and readable work is rich with insights that can help us make our shrinking world a better one."—Don Tapscott, Co-author of Macrowikinomics: Rebooting Business and the World

Průvodce fotografováním portrétů a postav - Lindsay Adlerová

Správná póza je základ kvalitní fotografie. Naučte se, jak prostřednictvím pózování dosáhnout přesně toho, co chcete! Při fotografování lidí můžete mít skvělou kompozici, dokonalé světlo a správné nastavení fotoaparátu, ale pokud váš objekt nevypadá správně – pokud póza „nefunguje“ – nedosáhnete dokonalého snímku. Pózování je skutečně zásadní dovedností, kterou fotografové musí mít, aby vytvořili skvělé fotografie. Pokud chcete zlepšit svou schopnost pózovat objekty, ať už jsou to muži, ženy, páry, nebo skupiny, kniha skvělé fotografky Lindsay Adlerové Průvodce fotografováním portrétů a postav: Jak vytvořit skvělé fotografie v každé situaci (The Photographer's Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter Everyone) je pro vás dokonalým zdrojem informací. V první části knihy Lindsay pojednává o tom, jak fotoaparát „vidí“, tedy, jak úhel fotoaparátu, výběr objektivu a perspektiva ovlivňují vzhled vašeho objektu. Poté pokryje pět nejdůležitějších věcí, které ničí pózu – jako je umístění rukou, výraz, držení těla atd. Pokud zvládnete dávat si pozor na těchto pět věcí, vaše dovednosti (a vaše snímky) se rychle zlepší. Následně se ponoříte do „základů pózování“, dozvíte se postup, jak začít se „základní pózou“, jak na ní stavět a vytvořit tak nekonečné příležitosti k pózování. Zabývat se budete také pózováním obličeje, v knize najdete specifické části věnované bradě, čelisti, očím a čelu. A samozřejmě také pózování rukou. Ve druhé polovině knihy věnuje autorka celé kapitoly konkrétnímu tématu: ženám, mužům, párům, ženám s křivkami, rodinám a malým i velkým skupinám. V každé kapitole jsou řešeny specifické výzvy daného úkolu. Lindsay nabízí pět „běžných pozic“, které můžete vždy použít, a popisuje, jak trénovat oko, aby určilo nejlepší pózu pro vaše modely. V poslední kapitole je vše přehledně shrnuto tak, abyste si byli jisti, že máte veškeré znalosti, které vás dovedou k dokonalým fotografiím.

My Penguin Year - Lindsay McCrae

BBC DYNASTIES CAMERAMAN'S ENTHRALLING STORY OF EMPEROR PENGUIN LIFE'Part adventure story, part evocation of the last untouched place on Earth, this is mesmerising.' Daily Mail - Books of the Year Chris Packham says:'A dramatic saga forged by passion, honesty and a rare skill as a naturalist and film-maker. Twelve men have walked on the moon. But how many have spent an entire season with the Emperors in Antarctica? Maybe more, likely less. Lindsay McCrae has - and this is his wonderful and frank story. There are lines of penguins and blizzards, but there's also the emotional turmoil of being separated from his home, his new wife and his unborn child. All his musings and observations combine to produce a compelling tale of the man, those extraordinary birds and that lonely place at the end of the earth. So turn off the heating, put on your gloves and head deep south into a frozen land of dreams and nightmares, all played out in the world of beautiful Emperors'~'[This] remarkable memoir is rich in the technological and logistical challenges of filming in extreme conditions. But most gripping are his fine-tuned observations of these beautiful metre-high birds, which must survive and raise their young in temperatures as low as -60?(deg)C' - NatureWhen the BBC asked BAFTA-winning cameraman Lindsay McCrae to go to Antarctica to film emperor penguins he was thrilled. After discussing it with his wife Becky they agreed that, although it would mean him being away for 11 months, he should do it. But then she became pregnant and it seemed like the worst idea in the world - not just to miss the birth of his first child, but the first 7 months of his life. Weeks of anguished discussions followed before they decided he should go because it was his dream project and the chance might never come again. My Penguin Year recounts Lindsay's adventure to the end of the Earth, filming the most resilient creatures in nature, while coping with being over 15,000km away from Becky and all the comforts of home - something which almost proved too much. Out of that experience he has written an unprecedented portrait of Antarctica's most extraordinary residents, the emperor penguins. They march up to 100 miles over solid ice to reach their breeding grounds. They choose to breed in the depths of the worst winter on the planet; and in an unusual role reversal, the males incubate the eggs, fasting for over 100 days to ensure they introduce their chicks safely into their new frozen world. And they are uniquely vulnerable to the unprecedented melting of the polar ice cap.In weaving their story with his epic journey, Lindsay has created a masterpiece of natural observation - and a deeply moving tale of human endeavour in the harshest environment on the planet.

Lindsey Vonnová - Můj příběh - Lindsey Vonnová

Vůbec první autobiografie nejuznávanější lyžařky všech dob odhaluje její dosud nevyprávěné osobní příhody, její boj s depresemi i odvážná rozhodnutí, která Lindsey Vonnové pomohla překonat problémy na sjezdovkách i mimo ně. Během své bohaté kariéry pohledná Američanka vyhrála 82 závodů Světového poháru, posbírala tři olympijské medaile a sedm z mistrovství světa. Lindsey nabízí fascinující pohled na neúnavnou honbu za svými limity, při jejichž dosahování tlačila své tělo až za hranici únosnosti. Tato ikonická odvaha a vytrvalost jí sice pomohly k řadě vítězství, ale vyžádala si svou daň – samozřejmě fyzickou, ale také psychickou. Kniha tak je inspirativním pohledem na její těžce vybojovaný úspěch a zároveň upřímným zhodnocením obětí, které na své cestě musela přinést.

Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory - Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Audiokniha Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory (Velmi praktický návod, jak se domluvit prakticky s každým) Autoři Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay. Čte Jan Eisler. Zdá se, že v současné atmosféře je nemožné vést rozumnou konverzaci s někým, kdo zastává odlišný názor. Ať už zveřejňujete svoje postoje na sociálních sítích nebo mluvíte se spolužáky ve škole či s kolegy v zaměstnání (nebo jen doufáte, že přežijete ve zdraví rodinnou večeři s tvrdohlavým příbuzným), dialog skončí ve chvíli, když se vaše názory zkříží. Vyhrocené debaty pak často končí urážkami a výčitkami, přičemž obojí blokuje jakoukoli možnost produktivní diskuze. Skoro se zdá, jako by dnes všichni měli při konverzaci stále prst připravený na spoušti zbraně. V audioknize Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory autoři Peter Boghossian a James Lindsay seznamují čtenáře s přímočarými a praktickými konverzačními technikami, které jsou nezbytné k vedení rozhovorů na různá kontroverzní témata jako jsou klimatická změna, náboženské přesvědčení, genderová identita, rasová otázka, chudoba, imigrace nebo otázka kontroly prodeje střelných zbraní. Boghossian a Lindsay vás naučí, jak vzbudit u partnera během dialogu pochybnosti a jak následně otevřít jeho mysl. Postupně provádějí čtenáře různými úrovněmi konverzace – od úplných základů, jakými jsou rady a návody pro vedení kvalitního dialogu, až po techniky na úrovni expertů, které se dají uplatnit při rozhovorech s názorovými extremisty. Audiokniha je užitečným manuálem pro každého, kdo se chce naučit vést zdvořilou konverzaci a snaží se, aby jeho rozhovory s partnery byly prodchnuty snahou o porozumění a empatii. Nahrávka vznikla podle knihy Petera Boghossiana a Jamese Lindsaye Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory (Velmi praktický návod, jak se domluvit prakticky s každým) vydané v roce 2021.

Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen

The international Number One bestseller. Over a million copies sold in the English language. Published in 23 foreign languages. ‘A heartfelt memoir . . . there is a fearlessness to his prose, a willingness to engage with his past, that chimes with his songwriter’s desire to give voice to the people around him’ Sunday Times “Writing about yourself is a funny business…But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I’ve tried to do this.” —Bruce Springsteen, from the pages of Born to Run In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as “The Big Bang”: seeing Elvis Presley’s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us why the song “Born to Run” reveals more than we previously realized.Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks, or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (“Thunder Road,” “Badlands,” “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “The River,” “Born in the U.S.A.,” “The Rising,” and “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences.

With three glittering scars on her cheek and mystical ‘strangeties’ unlike any magic in their world, Ezer is haunted by dreams of her death at the hands of an unknown warrior. Then a Sacred Knight arrives to recruit Ezer for the fight against the enemy, the Acolyte. When her affinity with birds reveals itself on the journey to the Citadel, she is given a new mission: to help the Prince of Lordach tame one of the Acolyte’s captured raphons. Half giant raven, half black panther, these creatures are as loyal to the Acolyte as his strongest darksoul soldiers . . and only they can make the flight to infiltrate his lair. While Ezer forges an unbreakable bond with the raphon, her heart becomes torn between the loyal Knight and the mysterious Prince. But as her dreams take on new clarity, she finds herself faced with a choice and a question: has the darkness been her destiny all along? ?Readers are GRIPPED by Ravenminder?: 'A dark, romantic fantasy that had me completely gagged.
