On the day she was abducted, thirty-two year-old Annie Sullivan had three goals - sell a house, forget a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. Then a van pulls up outside the house she is selling. Annie thinks it''s her lucky day. But nothing could be further from the truth...Annie wakes to find herself in a remote mountain location with only her kidnapper, "The Freak", for company. Subjected to his sadistic treatment for over a year Annie eventually escapes, but begins to suspect that someone in her former life wanted her gone - and isn''t pleased she''s back.''Stevens skilfully juxtapositions the back story of Annie''s captivity, with the front story of a woman desperately trying to reclaim her old life. As with all great suspense novels, the surprises abound. Annie thought she''d survived the worst with The Freak. But has she?'' Lisa Gardner

An imaginative reenvisioning of spatial and social relations from America''s 1960s urbanist movementIn World of Variation (1970), American architects Mary Otis Stevens (born 1928) and Thomas McNulty (1919–84) outlined a radical reenvisioning of socio-spatial relationships, informed by their background in philosophy and commitment to decentralizing hierarchies. Writing in the context of the Cold War and the political activism of 1960s America, they identified possible design solutions to then-current social issues. In striking abstract drawings, Stevens visualized aspects of the urban environment, proposing a design philosophy she termed “free flow.” These diagrams give expression to both the “flow” of movement and points of “hesitations.”This volume is a facsimile of World of Variation, accompanying the MIT Museum’s exhibition on the work of Mary Otis Stevens.Born in New York in 1928, Mary Otis Stevens is considered one of the most important female American postwar architects. She is best known for Lincoln House (1965), designed with her then-husband Thomas McNulty, the first exposed-concrete and glass house in the US.Thomas McNulty (1919–84) taught on MIT’s faculty from 1949 to 1956, before leaving to open a firm with his then wife, Mary Otis Stevens.

A brand new book from the Sunday Times and internationally bestselling author of The Silk Roads 'Masterly mapping out of a new world order' – Evening Standard Revised and updated edition The New Silk Roads takes a fresh look at the relationships being formed along the length and breadth of the ancient trade routes today. The world is changing dramatically and in an age of Brexit and Trump, the themes of isolation and fragmentation permeating the western world stand in sharp contrast to events along the Silk Roads, where ties are being strengthened and mutual cooperation established. This prescient contemporary history provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected. Following the Silk Roads eastwards from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, Peter Frankopan assesses the global reverberations of continual shifts in the centre of power – all too often absent from headlines in the west. The New Silk Roads asks us to re-examine who we are and where we stand in the world, illuminating the themes on which all our lives and livelihoods depend.

Che Guevara''s definitive account of the Cuban revolutionary war, in an updated edition.Includes photos and new foreword by Aleida Guevara—Che''s eldest daughter who is a physician.There is no better account of the Cuban revolutionary war than this little book by guerilla leader Che Guevara. Assembled from his campaign diary, first published in 1963, later corrected and edited by Che, and published here finally in an authoritative edition that includes not only his corrections, but also a number of short essays and articles published just after the revolution''s triumph. As always, Che''s writing is intimate, searching, and self-critical. Having initially joined the Cuban expedition as troop doctor, Che describes his dilemma in having to choose between a backpack of medicines and a box of ammunition (he chose the box of ammunition). In another justly famous chapter of the book, "The Murdered Puppy," Che describes how he had to give the order to have a dog killed. Throughout this book, the sweep of history and matters of life and death are rendered in small and intimate ways.

„Ak sa k nám smrť priblíži, privítajme ju s odhodlaním. Tak zomiera partizán.“ Tieto slová vyriekol Ernesto Che Guevara vo chvíli, keď vojaci bolívijského diktátora Barrientosa zlikvidovali jeho bojový oddiel. Vedenie CIA poslalo do krajiny svojho agenta a zabijaka Félixa Rodriguéza. Spolu s bolívijským ministrom riadil poľovačku na Che Guevaru. Chcel zmeniť svet, vytvoriť nového človeka, bojovať proti americkému imperializmu a pomáhať národom oslobodiť sa od kolonialistov. Partizánsky oddiel v blízkosti dedinky La Higuera vojská obkľúčili, Che Guevaru v prestrelke ranili a seržant Mário Terán veliteľa partizánov zblízka odstrelil. Autor pátral po stopách Che Guevaru v Havane, Nikarague, Paríži, Moskve, Washingtone a v Miami na Floride. Pri písaní mu pomohli aj postrehy bývalého spravodajcu Československého rozhlasu v Lime Valentína Benčaťa. Dlho sa nevedelo, že Che Guevara žil krátko aj neďaleko Prahy.

Kniha Che je v slovenskom prostredí doposiaľ najkomplexnejším dielom o slávnom latinskoamerickom revolucionárovi Ernestovi Che Guevarovi, z ktorého sa stal symbol revolćie a odporu proti americkému imperializmu. Spolu s Fidelom Castrom vybojoval kubánsku revolúciu (1956 – 1959), neskôr viedol partizánske oddiely aj v Afrike (1965) a Bolívii (1966 – 1967(, kde ho za asistencie americkej CIA zavraždili, čím však z neho urobili mučeníka pre ľavičiarov a národno-oslobodzovacie hnutia po celom svete. Stal sa inšpiráciou pre milióny mladých ľudí, pretože obetoval život za svoje ideály. Ľuboš Blaha v knihe opisuje búrlivý priebeh Guevarovho života s dôrazom na jeho politické myslenie. Analyzuje aj jeho dielo, osobitne teóriu foco a víziu nového človeka. Autor interpretuje Che Guevaru ako typického predstaviteľa tzv. romantickej ľavice, ktorú kladie do protikladu k tzv. technokratickej ľavici. Zároveň spochybňuje tézu, že Che Guevara bol predstaviteľom libertariánskej Novej ľavice, naopak, v knihe dokladá, že jeho politické názory patria do klasického marxisticko-leninského prúdu a jeho myšlienky možno impretovať aj ako súčasť širšieho ideového prúdu národnej ľavice. Všetky knihy Ľuboša Blahu sú nanajvýš príťažlivé... Svojej úlohy predstaviť Che Guevaru sa zhostil nielen faktograficky, nielen filozoficky, ale aj pokusom o prekonanie dichotómie medzi romantickými a technokratickými silami politiky...Knihu odporúčam všetkým, ktorým je ľavicové ...

A remarkable debut, as rich, complex, dark and ambitious as any you will find in fiction. For readers of The Rabbit Hutch. "Bold, beautiful and ebullient, it fizzes with life and dazzles with sheer power and intelligence. I don't think I've ever read a writer whose eye is more acute." – Alison MacLeod"Moving and powerful. This is such an important book." – Ed HoganKaren Stevens' stunning debut reveals the intimate struggles of families on the margins of contemporary Britain. Set primarily on the fictional Duncock Estate, a housing project on the south coast of England, these interconnected stories expose the human cost of economic precarity, following characters navigating mental illness, housing instability, immigration tensions, and generational trauma. Stevens writes with unflinching honesty and deep compassion, illuminating lives often rendered invisible in contemporary literature. From a Polish immigrant attacked while helping a neighbor, to a teenage mother keeping vigil over a dying stranger, to a university student struggling to reconcile education with working-class roots, Stevens' characters resist easy categorization. They are flawed, fierce, funny, and utterly human.

Che Guevara''s legend is unmatched in the modern world. Since his assassination in 1967 at the age of 39, the Argentine revolutionary has become an internationally famed icon, as revered as he is controversial. A Marxist ideologue, he sought to end global inequality by bringing down the American capitalist empire through armed guerrilla warfare – and has few rivals in the Cold War era as an apostle of change. In Che: A Revolutionary Life, Jon Lee Anderson and José Hernández reveal the man behind the myth, creating a complex portrait of this passionate idealist. Adapted from Anderson''s masterwork, Che transports us from young Ernesto''s medical school days to the battlefields of the Cuban revolution; from his place of power alongside Castro to his disastrous sojourn in the Congo, and his violent end in Bolivia. Through renowned Mexican artist José Hernández''s drawings, we feel the bullets fly past in Cuba; smell the smoke of Castro''s cigars; and scrutinize the face of the weary guerrilla as he is called ‘Comandante’ for the first time. With astonishing precision, colour, and drama, Che makes us first-hand witnesses to the revolutionary life and times of this historic figure.

Film na DVD - Film režiséra Stevena Soderbergha odhalil dvě zásadní etapy života Ernesta Guevary zvaného Che. Film režiséra Stevena Soderbergha odhalil dvě zásadní etapy života Ernesta Guevary zvaného Che. První z nich zachycuje kubánskou revoluci a období od vzniku Castrovy partyzánské skupiny v pohoří Sierra Maestra až po pád Havany. Druhé z nich líčí období partyzánské války v Bolívii, kde byl Che zajat a popraven. Tento dokument je však výrazně ucelenější. Che Guevara za svými revolučními ideály ukrýval mnohem temnější stránky. Když byl po vítězství kubánské revoluce jmenován prezidentem kubánské národní banky a současně ministrem financí a ministrem průmyslu, dokázal záhy svými reformami kubánské hospodářství zcela zruinovat. Retrospektivní dokument nabízí divákům neotřelejší pohled na tohoto jihoamerického revolucionáře, který i dnes zůstává vůdčím představitelem a zosobněním marxistických myšlenek.

Chcel zmeniť svet, vytvoriť nového človeka, bojovať proti americkému imperializmu a pomáhať národom oslobodiť sa od kolonialistov. Partizánsky oddiel v blízkosti dedinky La Higuera vojská obkľúčili, Che Guevaru v prestrelke ranili a seržant Mário Terán veliteľa partizánov zblízka odstrelil. Autor pátral po stopách Che Guevaru v Havane, Nikarague, Paríži, Moskve, Washingtone a v Miami na Floride. Pri písaní mu pomohli aj postrehy bývalého spravodajcu Československého rozhlasu...

Brimming with life and drama, this is a magnificent journey into two thousand years of history, from the acclaimed historian of Europe''Epic and witty'' Observer ''Erudite, entertaining'' Helena Attlee''Charming'' Wall Street Journal''Delightful and authoritative'' Judith Herrin''Compelling...enjoyable'' Financial Times''All roads lead to Rome.'' It''s a medieval proverb, but it''s also true: today''s European roads still follow the networks of the ancient empire, stitching together our histories and continuing to inspire our imaginations.Over the two thousand years since they were first built, the roads have been walked by crusaders and pilgrims, liberators and dictators, but also by tourists and writers, refugees and artists. As channels of trade and travel, and routes for conquest and creativity, Catherine Fletcher shows how the roads forever transformed the cultures, and intertwined the fates, of a vast panoply of people across Europe and beyond.Reflecting on his own walk on the Appian Way, Charles Dickens observed that here is ‘a history in every stone that strews the ground.’ Based on outstanding original research, and brimming with life and drama, this is the first book to explore two thousand years of history through one of the greatest imperial networks ever built.

Following years of brutal tyranny and poverty, a band of idealistic young people fought against immense odds to overthrow a dictator and emerged victorious. This is the story of how they did it. Che Guevara''s classic eyewitness account chronicles the transformation of a country, and of Che himself, from troop doctor to revolutionary icon.''Che''s life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom'' Nelson Mandela

‘Filled with insights, the very latest research and plenty of surprises: a superlative catalogue of one the most ambitious and spectacular exhibitions ever staged at the British Museum.’ – Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads: A New History of the World ‘A sumptuous book…a book of the exotic and the wonderful, a trip to ancient and far-away lands, a book full of artistic and cultural treasures, a book to savour and enjoy.’ – Sacred Hoop magazine A richly illustrated publication that explores the networks of contacts and exchanges spanning Afro-Eurasia from 500 to 1000 ce, highlighting how the movement of people, objects and ideas shaped cultures and histories. The term ‘Silk Road’ conjures a range of romantic images. Camel caravans crossing desert dunes. Merchants trading silk and spices. Far-flung commerce between ‘East’ and ‘West’. The reality was far richer. Focusing on a defining period between 500 and 1000 CE, this beautifully illustrated book reimagines the Silk Roads as a web of interlocking networks linking Asia, Africa and Europe, from Japan to Ireland, from the Arctic to Madagascar.

The No. 1 Sunday Times and international bestseller - a major reassessment of world history in light of the economic and political renaissance in the re-emerging east For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west – in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia deep into China and India, is taking centre stage in international politics, commerce and culture – and is shaping the modern world. This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the world’s great religions were born and took root. The Silk Roads were no exotic series of connections, but networks that linked continents and oceans together. Along them flowed ideas, goods, disease and death. This was where empires were won – and where they were lost. As a new era emerges, the patterns of exchange are mirroring those that have criss-crossed Asia for millennia. The Silk Roads are rising again. A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Martin Stevens explores the extraordinary variety of senses in the animal kingdom, and discusses the cutting-edge science that is shedding light on these secret worlds. Our senses of vision, smell, taste, hearing, and touch are essential for us to respond to threats, communicate and interact with the world around us. This is true for all animals - their sensory systems are key to survival, and without them animals would be completely helpless. However, the sensory systems of other animals work very differently from ours. For example, many animals from spiders to birds can detect and respond to ultraviolet light, to which we are blind. Other animals, including many insects, rodents, and bats can hear high-frequency ultrasonic sounds well beyond our own hearing range. Many other species have sensory systems that we lack completely, such as the magnetic sense of birds, turtles, and other animals, or the electric sense of many fish. These differences in sensory ability have a major bearing on the ways that animals behave and live in different environments, and also affect their evolution and ecology.In this book, Martin Stevens explores the remarkable sensory systems that exist in nature, and what they are used for.

With her novel The Visitors, Jessi Jezewska Stevens has proven herself as our preeminent purveyor of comical, techno-millenarian unease. Now, with this first collection of her acclaimed short fiction – originally appearing in such venues as The Paris Review and Harper''s – some of her very best work is at last readily available to readers. Stevens''s women throw disastrous parties in the post-party era, flirt through landscapes of terror and war, and find themselves unrecognisable after waking up with old flames in new cities. They navigate the labyrinths of history, love, and ethics in a fractured American present, seeing first-hand how history influences the ways in which we care for – or neglect – one another.''Stevens’ impeccable artistry manages to overlay the gauzy romance of the stranger in a strange land atop the grim economic and interpersonal realities that so often accompany relative youth, relative freedom, and relative love. Erudite, eloquent, and bittersweet—these stories are like chewing on the orange rind for a last bitter taste of the drink.''Kirkus Reviews

''Coffin roads'' along which bodies were carried for burial are a marked feature of the landscape of the Scottish Highlands and islands – many are now popular walking and cycling routes. This book journeys along eight coffin roads to discover and explore the distinctive traditions, beliefs and practices around dying, death and mourning in the communities which created and used them.The result is a fascinating snapshot into place and culture. After more than a century when death was very much a taboo subject, this book argues that aspects of the distinctive West Highland and Hebridean way of death and approach to dying and mourning may have something helpful and important to offer to us today.Routes covered in this book are:The Kilmartin Valley – the archetypal coffin road in this ritual landscape of the dead.The Street of the Dead on Iona – perhaps the best known coffin road in Scotland.Kilearnadil Graveyard, Jura – a perfect example of a Hebridean graveyard.The coffin road through Morvern to Keil Church, Lochaline - among the best defined and most evocative coffin roads today.The Green Isle, Loch Shiel, Ardnamurchan - the oldest continuously used burial place anywhere in Europe.The coffin road on Eigg – with its ...
