Audiokniha: Smutné, děsivé, zvláštní, dojemné, zábavné a někdy dokonce sladké… Opuštěný psací stroj, jehož majitel náhle zemřel. Nádherná dívka, která čeká v přítmí kinosálu, líbá jako božská Marilyn a ví všechno o filmech i smrti. Nafukovací kluk, co se mezi spolužáky stane obětí šikany. Anebo rozbitý černý telefon ve sklepě, kam maskovaný únosce zamkl mladíka Johna Finneyho stejně jako půl tuctu kluků před tím. Všechny jejich příběhy spojuje jeden muž – Joe Hill, syn slavného hororového autora Stephena Kinga, který se vydal v otcových šlépějích a ve výběrové antologii znepokojivých povídek přibližuje strach ze známého i netušeného. Titulní povídka Černý telefon se v roce 2021 dočkala úspěšné filmové adaptace s Ethanem Hawkem v hlavní roli. „Nejlepší nový horor získal cenu British Fantasy Award za nejlepší povídku v roce 2006.“ Audiokniha obsahuje kromě Černého telefonu také další autorova kratší díla – 20th Centrury Ghost, Šeherezádin psací stroj, Nejlepší nový horor a Pop Art. „Hillovy příběhy jsou místy niterné a odporné, ale nikdy ne bezdůvodně... – SCI-FI NOW, Ross Sutcliffe. „Nejlepší nový horor je hodně zneklidňujícím otvírákem sbírky, a podle mého mínění je nejděsivějším příběhem ze všech.

Primrose Hill exercises a hold upon the imagination of everyone who climbs it. The site of William Blake’s vision of the sun, it is a green sanctuary offering a superb and ever-changing view over London. Long before it became a public park in 1842, Primrose Hill attracted duellists, poets, revolutionaries, soldiers, sportsmen and visionaries, as well as prospective developers and large numbers of ordinary Londoners. Martin Sheppard’s scintillating history of Primrose Hill, one of London’s greatest landmarks, recounts the many remarkable and sometimes extraordinary events on the hill over the centuries.‘Primrose Hill is London’s crowning glory. In New York, Paris or Shanghai the place to experience the best view of the city is from a really high building. Not so London, which is best seen from a gentle, very English hilltop. For all London lovers, Martin Sheppard’s book is a truly delightful addition to the city’s history.’ – Sir Terry Farrell

Iggy záhy zjišťuje, že k rohům dostal i zvláštní schopnosti, s jejichž pomocí dokáže odhalit zlo, jež ho připravilo o jeho lásku.

Our broken economic model drives inequality and disempowerment, lining the pockets of corporations while extracting wealth from local communities. How can we reverse this? Joe Guinan and Martin O’Neill argue for an approach that uses the power of democratic participation to drive equitable development and ensure that wealth is widely shared. They show how this model – Community Wealth Building – can transform our economic system by creating a web of collaborative institutions, from worker cooperatives to community land trusts and public banks, that empower and enrich the many, not the few. This book is essential reading for everyone interested in building more equal, inclusive, and democratic societies.

A Columbia University physician comes across a popular medieval text on dying well written after the horror of the Black Plague and discovers ancient wisdom for rethinking death and gaining insight today on how we can learn the lost art of dying well in this wise, clear-eyed book that is as compelling and soulful as Being Mortal, When Breath Becomes Air, and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. As a specialist in both medical ethics and the treatment of older patients, Dr. L. S. Dugdale knows a great deal about the end of life. Far too many of us die poorly, she argues. Our culture has overly medicalized death: dying is often institutional and sterile, prolonged by unnecessary resuscitations and other intrusive interventions. We are not going gently into that good night—our reliance on modern medicine can actually prolong suffering and strip us of our dignity. Yet our lives do not have to end this way.Centuries ago, in the wake of the Black Plague, a text was published offering advice to help the living prepare for a good death. Written during the late Middle Ages, ars moriendi—The Art of Dying—made clear that to die well, one first had to live well ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Hill farming is a way of life and, although the hill farmer in the north of England has changed with the times, the traditions remain strong and the dramatic upland landscape is eternal. In Hill Farming in the North of England , photographer John Bentley has had access to the world of the hill farmer. Hill farming is round-the-clock work, season to season, still predominantly done on family farms. In this book farmers at work are shown through the seasons of the year, which dictate the farming calendar, from providing winter feed for the livestock – mostly sheep and cattle – to shearing, haymaking, lambing in the spring and ‘tupping’ in the autumn, and going to sales, shows and sheepdog trials. It is a visual portrait of a remarkable way of life and part of our farming heritage. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see the unique challenges of hill farming in the stunning but often harsh landscape of the north of England.

But Kevin Jr. struggled with a bottomless grief; neither his father’s example nor his own faith as a permanent deacon in the Archdiocese of Boston fully equipped him to cope with the loss.All Is Well is the story of the good life well-lived and life lessons Kevin Sr. taught his son. It’s a story of how Kevin Jr. moved from darkness to light after his father’s death. It is a memoir that gives a roadmap out of grief, taking a path whose landmarks are the Beatitudes, family, miracles, baseball, rites of passage, bucket lists, and love; it offers insights into leadership, marriage, parenting, resilience, practicality, suffering, giving, ...

There has never been a time when ‘following the science’ has been more important for humanity. At no other point in history have we had such advanced knowledge and technology at our fingertips, nor had such astonishing capacity to determine the future of our planet. But the decisions we must make on how science is applied belong outside the lab and should be the outcome of wide public debate. For that to happen, science needs to become part of our common culture. Science is not just for scientists: if it were, it could never save us from the multiple crises we face. For science can save us, if its innovations mesh carefully into society and its applications are channelled for the common good. As Martin Rees argues in this expert and personal analysis of the scientific endeavour on which we all depend, we need to think globally, we need to think rationally and we need to think long-term, empowered by twenty-first-century technology but guided by values that science alone cannot provide. Also available as an audiobook.

“Death cannot be denied by repeating that death does not exist. Death will have to be known, it will have to be encountered, it will have to be lived. You will have to become acquainted with it.” —Osho Why are we afraid of death? How do I relax in the certainty of death? Is the theory of reincarnation true? How can I celebrate death as you suggest? With depth, clarity, compassion, and even humor, Osho answers these questions and many others, shedding new light on this most sacred of mysteries and providing practical guidance for meditation and support.In The Art of Living and Dying, Osho not only reveals that our fear of death is based on a misunderstanding of its nature, but that dying is a tremendous opportunity for inner growth. Death is not an event but a process—and one that begins with birth. Each exhalation is a small death; each inhalation, a rebirth. When life is lived consciously and totally, death is not a catastrophe but a joyous climax.

From internationally renowned expert in resuscitation and near-death experience Sam Parnia, MD, PhD, comes a groundbreaking look at what happens to us when we die, based on the largest-ever research study run on near-death experiencesWhat happens to us when we die?For millennia, we''ve sought the answers, and we''ve hoped to find them in near-death experiences. But while those answers have come haphazardly and can''t be trusted, groundbreaking research is now formalizing our understanding of death in new and thrilling ways. At the frontlines of that research is Dr. Sam Parnia.Lucid Dying is the first book to formally explore what happens to the human mind and consciousness not only in the period leading up to death, but also during and after death. Using data derived from multiple scientific studies, Dr. Parnia shows that the entity we refer to as consciousness-our Self-does not seem to become annihilated at the moment of death. In fact, during death, our consciousness follows a very specific narrative arc, in which we relive our lives not only from our own experiences, but from the perspective of everyone we''ve interacted with. What follows is a purposeful review of our own actions, thoughts, and intentions towards others.These studies also ... Unknown localization key: "more"
