Welcome back to Clarkson's Farm.At the end of Jeremy's first year in the tractor's driving seat, Diddly Squat farm rewarded him with a profit of just GBP144. So, while he's the first to admit that he's still only a 'trainee farmer'*, there is clearly still work to be done.Because while he's mastered the art of moaning about nearly everything, some of the other attributes required of a successful farmer prove more of a challenge. Who knew, for instance, that loading a grain trailer was more demanding than flying an Apache gunship? That cows were more dangerous than motor-racing? Or that it would have been easier to get planning permission build a nuclear power station than to turn an old barn into a farm restaurant?But if the council planning department and the local red trouser brigade seem determine to frustrate his schemes at every turn, at least he's got Lisa, Kaleb, Cheerful Charlie and Gerald, his dry-stone-walling Head of Security to see him through. And cold beer brewed with spring barley harvested from Diddly Squat's own fields ...Life on Clarkson's Farm may not always go according to plan. There may not always be one. But there's not a day goes by ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Top Gear Years brings together Jeremy Clarkson''s collected magazine columns for the first time.Clarkson at his pithy, provocative, hilarious bestWe now know all about the world according to Clarkson. In a series of bestselling books Jeremy has revealed it to be a puzzling, frustrating place where all too often the lunatics seem to be running the asylum. But in The Top Gear Years, we get something rather different. Because ten years ago, at an ex-RAF aerodrome in Surrey, Jeremy and his friends built a world that was rather more to his liking: they called it Top Gear HQ. And Top Gear is for Jeremy what the jungle is for Tarzan: the perfect place to work and play. But they didn''t stop there . . . With this corner of Surrey sorted out, Jeremy and the boys decided to have a crack at the rest of the world. With Top Gear Live charging through with the subtlety of a touring heavy rock band and far flung outposts across the globe from North America to China - an empire of petrol-headed upon which the sun never set. And all along Jeremy was writing about it in Top Gear magazine. Here, collected ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Ever since the signing of the Armistice in 1918, theatre has played an important part in reflecting the experience of the ‘war to end all wars’. But on the Home Front, what role did those involved with British theatre play during those tumultuous four years and three months? Till the Boys Come Home salutes British theatre in wartime, when theatres became powerful generators for escapism, for stirring patriotism, for sharing experiences of loss and joy – and for raising vast amounts of charity money. It brings to life a Britain where theatre-going peaked in popularity, yet became full of the curious contradictions bred by war. Richly illustrated with original programmes, posters and ephemera, author and critic Roger Foss reveals a theatrical powerhouse, where all sections of the profession – from grand Shakespearian knights to lowly concert party artistes – were doing their bit, both at home and on the front line.

Described by African scholar and literary critic Chielozona Eze as “one of the most prolific African poets of the twenty-first century,” Patricia Jabbeh Wesley composed When the Wanderers Come Home during a four-month visit to her homeland of Liberia in 2013. She gives powerful voice to the pain and inner turmoil of a homeland still reconciling itself in the aftermath of multiple wars and destruction.  Wesley, a native Liberian, calls on deeply rooted African motifs and proverbs, utilizing the poetics of both the West and Africa to convey her grief. Autobiographical in nature, the poems highlight the hardships of a diaspora African and the devastation of a country and continent struggling to recover.  When the Wanderers Come Home is a woman’s story about being an exile, a survivor, and an outsider in her own country; it is her cry for the Africa that is being lost in wars across the continent, creating more wanderers and world citizens.

1865. The Civil War finally reaches its gruelling end. Soldiers returning from the frontline come home broken, their minds shattered. An influx of patients overwhelms The Ashcroft Hospital, an asylum in upstate New York. Dr. John James Templeton is busy developing a radical new theory: spiritualism - the act of communicating with the dead - is its own form of therapy. What better way to draw out these mental maladies then with a little assistance from the other side? Templeton enlists Alicia Wilkinson, a medium who as a young girl established herself as a sought-after conduit capable of contacting the dead... but her own past continues to haunt her. These seance sessions become a cutting-edge form of ''spectral therapy,'' where patients are permitted to converse with, and perhaps expunge, their own maladies. By reaching out beyond the veil of our own world, these spirits aid in drawing out the illness of the patient. But something is changing in the patients. They are acting different... possessed, perhaps. Templeton''s experiment is a success. Too successful. It is up to Alicia to understand what is happening to the patients of Ashcroft... before it''s too late. Collects Seance in the Asylum issues #1 - ... Unknown localization key: "more"

But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else Then one day he decided he would do the farming himself. After all, how hard could it be? Well . . .

Vítejte na Clarksonově farmě. Už když se Jeremy proháněl po světě v drahých autech při natáčení pořadu Top Gear, toužil jezdit traktorem a vyorávat své vlastní brambory. Jenomže musel řídit všechna ta různá ferrari a porsche, takže na farmaření nebyl čas. Pak však přišla covidová pandemie, a tak koupil farmu v Oxfordshiru a pořídil si největší traktor na trhu. A začal se činit. Naučil se nejen pěstovat obilí a zeleninu, ale i chovat hospodářská zvířata a včely. Přestože je největším (na výšku) farmářem v Anglii, nebyly tyto začátky lehké. O svém ročním dobrodružství na farmě napsal sérii vtipných novinových sloupků, které najdete v této knize. "Špatný den na farmě je lepší než dobrý den v kanceláři."

Motoristický pořad Top Gear sleduje po celém světě asi 350 milionů diváků, momentálně běží i na českém kanálu Prima Cool. Za jeho mimořádnou popularitou stojí zejména hlavní moderátor Jeremy Clarkson, autor této knihy. Začal ji psát, aby se vyznal ze své vášně pro auta a také aby zjistil, co vlastně lidi k nejrůznějším strojům tolik přitahuje. A k čemu došel? Že ty nejvíce fascinující automobily, letadla, ponorky, raketoplány a další technické výtvory mají jedno společné: za každým z nich najdeme nějakého vizionářského inženýra či nadšeného konstruktéra, který svému stroji vdechl "duši" a právě ta je tím, co nás ke strojům poutá. Mimoto se od Clarksona dozvíme některé zásadní informace, například kde se nejlíp schovat v případě nukleární války či kdo by vyhrál, kdyby se v souboji utkali Superman, James Bond a Terminátor. Jeremy Clarkson (1960) je britská moderátorská hvězda a autor dvanácti knižních bestsellerů. Miluje rychlá auta, která velmi svérázným způsobem testuje, představuje a komentuje ve svém pořadu Top Gear. Miliony fanoušků oceňují jeho břitký humor, který se nezastaví před ničím a před nikým. Svou obrovskou popularitu vysvětluje lapidárně: "Žijeme v nudném světě a náš pořad je proto vítanou změnou."

Výbor z jeho článků představuje českému čtenáři pomyslnou a velmi vysokou laťku psaní nejen o autech, ale i o jiných příjemných i otravných jevech našeho každodenního života. Autor si nebere servítky před nikým a před ničím, ať je to ministerský předseda, ženská otázka, cyklisti, imigranti nebo nepořádek na ulicích. Vědomě a trefně se vysmívá především politické korektnosti, která ovládla Anglii i celou spojenou Evropu, a ukazuje opravdovou tvář lidí a stav našeho světa pomocí překotných, o to však legračnějších nadsázek. Jeremy Clarkson se narodil roku 1960 v Doncateru v hrabství Yorkshire do rodiny učitelky a obchodního cestujícího. Jako středoškolský student byl vyloučen ze soukromé školy v Reptonu za požívání alkoholu, kouření a nevhodné chování. Jeho prvním zaměstnáním bylo prodávat pro otcovu firmu plyšové figurky medvídka Paddingtona. Poté začal psát pro různé anglické listy, nejdříve lokální a pak i celostátní.

Pokračování knihy bývalého moderátora televizního pořadu Top Gear, který si během covidu pořídil farmu a místo prohánění rychlých aut začal řídit největší traktor na světě. Pokračování první knihy sloupků slavného moderátora a novináře o jeho farmářských eskapádách. „Nadále miluju to, co dělám, ačkoli mi to moc nejde. Horší je, že teď mám něco, co je ze všeho nejnebezpečnější: trochu znalostí. Například poznám rozdíl mezi pšenicí a ječmenem... Ale ze všeho nejlépe vím, že farmaření je nesmírně náročná, i když nic moc placená práce.“ Clarkson píše s břitkým anglickým vtipem a nadhledem, humor ho však trochu přechází, když třeba glosuje vystoupení Velké Británie z Evropské unie, které kromě jiných důsledků silně poškodilo britské farmáře. Nepropadá však beznaději a dodává optimismus všem stejně postiženým, kteří rozjížděli nové projekty, ve kterých se měly otáčet peníze, aby pak jen s hrůzou sledovali, s jak nákladným neúspěchem končí. Ale i když se něco nedaří, alespoň nás Jeremy Clarkson pobaví.

Kniha - autor Jeremy Clarkson, 464 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Welcome to Clarkson's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else Then one day he decided he would do the farming himself. After all, how hard could it be? Well . . . Faced with suffocating red tape, biblical weather, local objections, a global pandemic and his own frankly staggering ignorance of how to 'do farming', Jeremy soon realises that turning the farm round is going to take more than splashing out on a massive tractor. Fortunately, there's help at hand from a large and (mostly) willing team including girlfriend Lisa, Kaleb the Tractor Driver, Cheerful Charlie,...

Pokračování vybraných sloupků slavného moderátora a novináře o jeho farmářských eskapádách, úspěších i prohrách. Dozvíme se, jak se nahánějí toulavé krávy, jak se dá nabourat traktor značky Lamborghini nebo jak si nepřestavět bývalý ovčinec na restauraci podávající jídla z místní zemědělské produkce. Úřední šiml řehtá i v Anglii a Jeremy si na to stěžuje se svým nezaměnitelným humorem. Brexit je dávno realitou a Jeremy to glosuje s hořkou ironií - má zkušenost podnikatele, kterého nesmyslné vystoupení Velké Británie z Evropské unie silně poškodilo a připravilo o Bestseller č. 1 listu Sunday Times.

Rok se sešel s rokem a Jeremy farmaří statečně dál, přestože brexit stále ještě trvá a asi se to hned tak nezmění; navíc mu bývalý ministerský předseda, který ten brexit spískal tím zatraceným referendem, rozbil traktůrek. Navrch se mu také rozbil velký traktor značky Lamborghini, ale Jeremy k němu přilnul a nedokáže se ho zbavit, ač mu to Kaleb doporučuje. Aby toho nebylo málo, pronajatý býk je ostýchavý a k otelení krav se nemá, kdežto prasátka souloží ve dne v noci a selata z nich létají jako broky z Jeremyho brokovnice. A taky ten eko-kontrolor v pronajatém autě pro chudší střední vrstvy už zase brousí kolem výběhu pro ovce a šmíruje, zda stříž vlny probíhá podle halal i košer pravidel...

Audiokniha: Ty nejúžasnější automobily, letadla, ponorky, raketoplány a další technické výtvory mají podle autora jedno společné: za každým z nich stojí vizionářský inženýr či nadšený konstruktér, který svému stroji vdechl "duši", ať už šlo o luxusní vůz Rolls-Royce Phantom, letadlo Jumbo Jet, sportovní člun Riva Aquarama, nebo dokonce parabolickou anténu Arthur. Mimoto se od Clarksona dozvíme zásadní informace jako např. kam se nejlíp schovat v případě nukleární války, proč je vesmírná loď z Hvězdných válek lepší, než ta ze Star Treku, či kdo by vyhrál, kdyby se v souboji utkali Superman, James Bond a Terminátor. O „strojích s duší“ vypráví Zbyšek Horák, který byl od roku 2002 oficiálním českým hlasem Jeremyho Clarksona v pořadu Top Gear. „Clarkson vyznává svůj vztah k pro něj významným strojům v pestrém záběru od automobilů, přes samopaly, přehrady až ke kosmickým lodím. Vše popisuje s technickou i historickou přesností a koření brilantním světáckým pohledem i humorem.“ — Kultura21.cz

Audiokniha: „Špatný den na farmě je lepší než dobrý den v kanceláři.“ „I ti, kdo Clarksona zarytě nenávidí, ho jako farmáře shledají sympatickým“. Už když se Jeremy proháněl po světě v drahých autech při natáčení Top Gearu, toužil jezdit traktorem a vyorávat své vlastní brambory. Jak těžké to může být? Zaseje, zaprší, vyroste jídlo. Snadné. Koupil proto farmu v Oxfordshiru a pořídil si největší traktor na trhu – Lamborghini. Co na tom, že se mu nevešel do stodoly. Naučil se nejen pěstovat obilí a zeleninu, ale i chovat hospodářská zvířata a včely. O svém ročním dobrodružství na farmě napsal sérii vtipných novinových sloupků, které uslyšíte v podání Zbyška Horáka. Nazujte si holinky, nasaďte bekovku do čela a poznejte s Jeremym tajemství opravdového „chlapského“ farmaření.

The American Civil War may have been more consequential to American history (and its global supremacy) than its Revolutionary War and participation in all other world wars. The influence of this war is not just reduced to the victory of the north and its economic infrastructure, but the fact of Union success ushered in the notion of 'what it means to be American' that even the revolution could not instill. European military historian Jeremy Black reorients readers to see what was extraordinary in the civil war of 'the American colonies' and why this was warfare unlike anything that could be properly understood on the world stage at that time. He also examines with expertise the role of foreign powers (or lack thereof). Black's treatment might be the doom of civil war counterfactuals. Was the south destined to fail? Was it weaker motive, faulty strategy, or lack of European support? Was the north just lucky, or possessed of foresight and providential endowment? Black dispels romanticism and sentimentalist hindsight––the American Civil War is unparalleled in many respects, but it is not without clear lessons in warcraft, diplomacy, and cultural–economic impasse. Furthermore, Black's Civil War is a new resource that teaches, reaffirms, and ...

In The Man Who Changed the Way We Read, Jeremy Lewis brings this extraordinary era brilliantly to life. Lane’s books gave millions of people access to what had previously been the preserve of a wealthy few; they alerted the public to the threat of Nazi Germany; and Penguin itself became a cherished national institution, much like the BBC and the NHS, whilst at the same time challenging the status quo through the famous Lady Chatterley case.

Beginning with an overview of the age of Dickens, Professor Jeremy Black guides the reader through the biography and writings of the great man to show how his work not only expressed his experience of Victorian England, but also defined it, for his contemporaries and for generations to come.In some ways for us, Victorian England simply is Dickens’ England. Professor Black considers London as the centre of all but also examines Dickens’ effect on concepts of gender and social structure. Then there is government – from the Circumlocution Office to Britain as the supreme imperial power. There is also a valuable account of Dickens’ relationship with America.Dickens describes a culture – popular, middle and élite – and at the same time creates one. It takes a historian of Professor Black’s standing to differentiate between the two and show how they inter-react.

This, the second book by Jeremy Dixon on the subject, is a study of those German officers who were promoted to the rank of general and who were also awarded the Knight’s Cross during the period of the fighting in Russia between Hitler’s assault upon the Soviet Union, Operation Barbarossa, and the complete destruction of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad. The Germans lost 500,000 soldiers during the Stalingrad campaign, some 91,000 of whom were taken prisoner – a number which included 2,000 officers, twenty-three generals and one Generalfeldmarschall, Friedrich Paulus. There were 149 officers who later held the rank of general who were awarded the Knight’s Cross for their actions on the Eastern Front between 6 December 1941 and 2 February 1943. One such recipient was Maximilian Fretter-Pico, who, as Generalmajor and Commander of the 97th Infantry Division, was awarded the Knight’s Cross on 26 December 1941. He was later promoted to Generalleutnant and in June 1942 was Commander of the Army Detachment Fretter-Pico, with the rank of General der Artillerie. He was awarded the Knight’s Cross with Oakleaves as Commanding General of the XXX Army Corps, for actions in the Don and Donez area, on 16 January 1944. ... Unknown localization key: "more"
