An in-depth, richly illustrated exploration of the work and life of cinema and TV’s greatest cult creator. Without David Lynch, our world would have been a much more ordinary place. As a filmmaker, screenwriter, designer, musician, visual artist and living avatar of all things uncanny, his influence pervaded every corner of our culture.Alongside his game-changing TV series Twin Peaks , Lynch also created big-screen masterpieces such as his DIY debut Eraserhead and unconventional mystery thrillers Blue Velvet , Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive . But Lynch was also a cult figure in his own right, releasing albums under his own name, staging art shows, photography exhibitions and design showcases from LA to Milan, and sharing his spiritual philosophy and love of Transcendental Meditation with audiences around the globe.Published in a lavish, slip-cased edition, David Lynch: His Work, His World covers all aspects of this truly eclectic output while also exploring Lynch’s many influences to tell the full story of how he worked, created, thought and lived.

Lynch on Lynch describes the career of a cinematic genius who has continued to astonish filmgoers with the lovely and life-affirming The Straight Story and the luxurious dread of the Academy Award-nominated Mulholland Drive, in the words of Lynch himself.David Lynch erupted onto the cinema landscape with Eraserhead, establishing himself as one of the most original, imaginative, and truly personal directors at work in contemporary film. He is a surrealist, in the tradition of the great Spanish director Luis Bunuel. Over the course of a career that includes such films as The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway, and the seminal TV series Twin Peaks, Lynch has remained true to an artistic vision of innocence lost or adrift in the direst states of darkness and confusion. Nobody else sees the world quite as David Lynch does. Once seen, his films are never forgotten, nor does the world about us seem quite as it did before.In this definitive career-length interview book, Lynch speaks openly about the full breadth of his creative work, which encompasses not only movies but also a lifelong commitment to painting, a continuing exploration of photography, extensive work in television, and musical collaborations with composer Angelo Badalamenti and singer Julee Cruise.

Internationally renowned, David Lynch was America s premier purveyor of the surreal, an artist whose work in cinema, television and the internet exposed the world to his highly personalised view of society. This book examines his oeuvre, from the cult surrealism of his debut feature Eraserhead to his last feature Inland Empire, considering the themes, motifs and stories behind his incredible feature films, shorts and internet projects. His series Twin Peaks revolutionised TV and expanded the possibilities of what the medium could offer. This updated edition includes Twin Peaks: The Return, his continuation of the series 25 years after the original had set the world alight. In Lynch s world the mundane and the fantastical collide, often with terrifying consequences. It is a place where the abnormal is normal, where the respectable becomes sinister, where innocence is lost and redemption gained at a terrible price. And there s always music in the air. From the deserts of a distant world to an ordinary backyard, at the breakneck speed of Lost Highway or the sedate determination of The Straight Story, readers will experience amateur sleuths, messiahs, giants and dwarves, chanteuses, psychopaths, cherry pie and damn fine coffee.

Neotřelá kombinace biografie a memoáru dokazuje, že ani kniha o životě a díle geniálního režiséra Davida Lynche nemůže být obyčejná. Vůbec poprvé odkrývá okolnosti zrodu jeho smělých filmových vizí, jako jsou Městečko Twin Peaks, Sloní muž, Mazací hlava, Lost Highway nebo Mulholland Drive. Životopis napsala novinářka Kristine McKennová na základě více než stovky rozhovorů s Lynchovými přáteli, rodinnými příslušníky, bývalými manželkami, herci, agenty, hudebníky a dalšími spolupracovníky. Do textu však vstupuje sám Lynch svými upřímnými komentáři, překvapí například vzpomínkou na pražské natáčení hudby k Modrému sametu nebo zábavnými i ledacos odkrývajícími historkami z dětství a studentských let. Text doprovází téměř stovka unikátních fotografií z Lynchovy soukromé sbírky. Kniha tak pohltí nováčky i lynchovské fanatiky.

Paul Lynch is peerless Donal Ryan, author of Strange FlowersIn the spring of 1945, farm-worker Matthew Peoples runs into a burning byre and does not come out alive. The farm s owner, Barnabas Kane, can only look on as his friend dies and all 43 of his cattle are destroyed in the blaze. Following the disaster, the bull-headed and proudly self-sufficient Barnabas is forced to reach out to the farming community for assistance. But resentment simmers over Matthew Peoples death, and Barnabas and his family begin to believe their efforts at recovery are being sabotaged. Barnabas is determined to hold firm. Yet his son Billy struggles under the weight of a terrible secret, and his wife Eskra is suffocated by the uncertainty surrounding their future. And as Barnabas fights ever harder for what is rightfully his, his loved ones are drawn ever closer to a fate that should never have been theirs.

Peter Lynch believes that average investors have advantages over Wall Street experts. Since the best opportunities can be found at the local mall or in their own places of employment, beginners have the chance to learn about potentially successful companies long before before professional analysts discover them. This headstart on the experts is what produces tenbaggers , the stocks that appreciate tenfold or more and turn an average stock portfolio into a star performer. In this fully updated edition of his classic bestseller, Lynch explains how to research stocks and offers easy-to-follow directions for sorting out the long shots from the no shots. He also provides valuable advice on how to learn as much as possible from a company s story, and why every investor must ignore the ups and downs of the stock market and focus only on the fundamentals of the company in which they are investing.

Jon PearlJammer Turner je hráč, kterého také není třeba pokerové veřejnosti příliš představovat. Američan - který nyní sídlí a hraje online poker z Mexika - za svou kariéru potrefoval na internetu více než 200 turnajů a jeho celkové výhry dosahují závratných šesti milionů dolarů. Přestože se také specializuje především na online multi-table pokerové turnaje, nevyhýbá se ani živé hře. I tam je velice úspěšný a za svou kariéru si prozatím v živých turnajích připsal více než jeden milion dolarů. Jon Apestyles Van Fleet je dalším z trojice mladých úspěšných profesionálních hráčů. Jeho výhry v online pokerových turnajích, kde zaznamenal více než 130 vítězství, již přesáhli hranici 5 000 000$. Autorskou trojici doplňuje jako spoluautor majitel vydavatelství Dimat Enterprises, Inc., provozovatel pokerových webových stránek a autor řady pokerových knih Matthew Hilger. I ten se zhruba před deseti lety věnoval pokeru na plný úvazek jako profesionál a na svém kontě má několik větších úspěchů. Postupně se však začal více a více věnovat dalším aktivitám souvisejících s pokerem a své hraní pokeru omezoval. Na co se v knize mohou čtenáři těšit? Kniha Poker - tajemství hry na internetu je napsána v unikátním formátu. Na čtenáře čeká celkem 50 pokerových hand pocházejících ze skutečně odehraných turnajů. Autoři knihy komentují průběh každé odehrané handy od samotného počátku před flopem až do jejího konce, analyzují jednotlivá rozhodnutí a navrhují nejlepší možná zahrání. U každé handy si tak čtenáři mohou přečíst, jak by se v dané situaci zachovali hned tři špičkoví turnajoví profesionálové! Díky tomu mají čtenáři jedinečnou příležitost takříkajíc z první ruky sledovat, jaké faktory při rozhodování zvažují v obtížných situacích ti nejlepší pokeroví hráči. Již po přečtení prvních několika hand je zřejmé, že tajemství úspěšné hry spočívá především v důkladné analýze situace u stolu. Kniha čtenáře naučí, jak správně uvažovat v klíčových situacích, kde záleží nejen na relativní síle kombinace, ale především také na pozici jednotlivých hráčů a velikost jejich stacků. Kromě toho je nutné brát v úvahu také skoky ve výplatní struktuře, které v pozdních fázích turnajů bývají obvykle již značné.

Raw, frank and utterly heartfelt, but full of love and joy too, one of the most moving and uplifting memoirs I ve ever read. Daisy Buchanan Evanna s account of overcoming an eating disorder gives an unsparing insight into the mental health system, and the journey to true recovery. A beautifully courageous and honest memoir. Bonnie Wright As well as charting her adolescent battle with anorexia, it offers a darkly compelling, highly topical account of journeying from girlhood to womanhood in the spotlight of global celebrity. The Mail on Sunday A raw and powerful memoir, it shares lessons banishing self-hatred. The Sunday Telegraph Gradually, I began to feel this dawning awareness that womanhood was coming for me, that it was looming inevitably, and it didn t feel safe... Evanna Lynch has long been viewed as a role model for people recovering from anorexia and the story of her casting as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films has reached almost mythic proportions. Here, in her fascinating new memoir, Evanna confronts all the complexities and contradictions within herself and reveals how she overcame a life-threatening eating disorder, began to conquer her self-hate and confronted her fear of leaving the neatness and safety of girlhood for the unpredictable journey of being a woman, all in the glare of the spotlight of international fame.Delving into the very heart of a woman s relationship with her own body, Evanna explores the pivotal moments and choices in her life that led her down the path of creativity and dreaming and away from the empty pursuit of perfection, and reaches towards acceptance of the wild, sensual and unpredictable reality of womanhood. This is a story of the tragedy and the glory of growing up, of mourning girlhood and stepping into the unknown, and how that act of courage is the most magical and creatively liberating thing a woman can do.

Radically open-dialectical behavior therapy (RO-DBT) is a groundbreaking, transdiagnostic treatment model for clients with difficult-to-treat overcontrol (OC) disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Written by the founder of RO-DBT, Thomas Lynch, this is the first and only session-by-session training manual to help you implement this evidence-based therapy in your practice.As a clinician, you re familiar with dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and its success in treating clients with emotion dysregulation disorders. But what about clients with overcontrol disorders? OC has been linked to social isolation, aloof and distant relationships, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion, a strong need for structure, inhibited emotional expression, and hyper-perfectionism. And yet-perhaps due to the high value our society places on the capacity to delay gratification and inhibit public displays of destructive emotions and impulses-problems linked with OC have received little attention or been misunderstood. Indeed, people with OC are often considered highly successful by others, even as they suffer silently and alone.RO-DBT is based on the premise that psychological well-being involves the confluence of three factors: receptivity, flexibility, and social-connectedness. RO-DBT addresses each of these important factors, and is the first treatment in the world to prioritize social-signaling as the primary mechanism of change based on a transdiagnostic, neuroregulatory model linking the communicative function of human emotions to the establishment of social connectedness and well being. As such, RO-DBT is an invaluable resource for treating an array of disorders that center around overcontrol and a lack of social connectedness-such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, postpartum depression, treatment resistant anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, as well as personality disorders such as avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality disorder.In this training manual, you ll find an outline of RO-DBT, including history, research, and how it differs from traditional DBT. You ll also find a session-by-session RO-DBT outpatient treatment protocol, with sections that outline the weekly, one-hour individual therapy sessions and weekly two-and-a-half hour skills training classes that occur over a period of approximately thirty weeks. This includes instructor guidelines and user-friendly worksheets.The feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of RO-DBT is evidence-based and informed by over twenty years of translational treatment development research. This important manual-along with its companion book, Radically-Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (available separately), distills the essential components of RO-DBT into a workable program you can start using right away to improve treatment outcomes for clients suffering with OC.

The “philosopher of truth” (Jill Lepore, The New Yorker) shows why truth is an essential democratic value—and how it can be strengthenedDo any of us really care about truth when it comes to politics? Should we? In a world of big lies, denialism, and conspiracy theories, democracies are experiencing two interlocked crises: a loss of confidence in democracy itself and the growing sense among many that politics is only about power—not truth. In this book, Michael Patrick Lynch argues that truth not only can—but must—matter in politics. He shows why truth is an essential democratic value—a value we need to sustain our democratic way of life—and how it can be strengthened.Despite evidence that people are rarely motivated by truth when it comes to politics, On Truth in Politics argues that this isn’t inevitable. Accessibly written and rigorously argued, it draws on the American pragmatist tradition to develop an original theory of the nature and value of truth in the messy world of politics. Contrary to the belief of many, political beliefs can be true or false. But if democracy is to continue to be a space of reason and not just an arena of power, we must build a better infrastructure of knowledge, including stronger schools and media, and renew our commitment to science and history.A vital and timely book, On Truth in Politics makes an original case for why democracy cannot survive without truth.

After the robbery, after a few dead guards, with all of Gotham including Batman searching for them, they meet with their backer, Penguin, the man who will wash their money, take his cut, and secure their escape. And Riddler shoots Penguin in the gut, grabs the loot, and turns to Catwoman. “It’s ours, all of it. All we got to do is escape this city.” Riddler and Catwoman take to the road, both weighing how long they can go before they need to take the other out. And as they move about the city they’re hunted by an inexperienced Batman who knows two things: One, he’ll need to be better than he’s ever been to catch these two psychopaths; two, Penguin survived and if he gets to them first, it’ll be a bloodbath like Gotham’s never seen. Three villains, one Dark Knight, and a deadly heist gone wrong. Catwoman, the Riddler, and the Penguin join forces to pull off the greatest robbery in the history of Gotham City. And their prize?
