Pod povrchem lesů, zahrad i měst se rozprostírá neviditelná síť – říše hub. Merlin Sheldrake ve své úchvatné knize „Propletený život“ odhaluje jejich nepostradatelnou roli v přírodě, kultuře i lidském těle. Houby rozkládají kámen, uzdravují, vyvolávají vize, spojují stromy do lesního internetu a formují krajinu. Autor propojuje vlastní zkušenost biologa, mykologa i psychonauta a se smyslem pro humor a poezii přináší vědecky podložené, ale překvapivě osobní svědectví. Vypráví o lanýžích a lanýžových psech, o síti, která propojuje kořeny stromů, i o tom, jak myšlenky, které houby inspirovaly, mění náš pohled na svět. Kniha zpochybňuje ustálené kategorie života: Co je jedinec? Kde končíme my a začíná okolí? Co když je celý svět jedním živým organismem? „Propletený život“ je poutavým průvodcem pro každého, kdo se chce dívat jinak – a hlouběji. Pro koho je kniha určena a co vám přinese Pro čtenáře populárně naučné literatury, milovníky přírody, ekologie, neurovědy i filozofie. Pro každého, kdo miluje Petera Wohllebena, Davida Attenborougha nebo Carla Sagana. Kniha rozšiřuje obzory: naučíte se o vztazích mezi stromy a houbami, o symbióze i o tom, jak se mění naše chápání vědomí. Dostanete nový pohled na svět, který vám možná doslova vyrazí dech. „Bez této sítě by můj strom nemohl existovat. Bez podobných houbových sítí by nemohla existovat ani žádná jiná rostlina. Na tomto podzemním předivu závisí veškerý suchozemský život včetně toho mého.“ Doporučení nakladatele "Tato kniha je jako výprava do světa, o kterém jste si mysleli, že ho znáte – jen abyste zjistili, že ho neznáte vůbec. Už po prvních stránkách jsme byli okouzleni, ohromeni a dojati. „Propletený život“ je výjimečný text, který propojuje přírodu, vědu a poezii. Je to kniha, kterou si přečtete – a už nikdy se nepodíváte na les nebo chleba se žampiony stejně jako předtím." - Michaela a Václav Kazdovi O autorovi Merlin Sheldrake Merlin Sheldrake je britský biolog, mykolog a autor, který propojuje vědeckou preciznost s literárním talentem. Vystudoval biologii na Cambridge, kde také získal doktorát za výzkum mykorhizních hub v tropických pralesích Panamy. Kromě vědy se věnuje hudbě, fermentaci a psaní. Jeho kniha „Propletený život“ se stala mezinárodním bestsellerem a byla přeložena do desítek jazyků. Žije v Anglii a v přírodě hledá inspiraci i odpovědi na nejhlubší otázky života. Co o knize říkají čtenáři Tuto knihu jsem si zamiloval. Merlin Sheldrake, syn významného vědce, se nejenom dobře vyzná ve svém oboru, ale umí také skvěle psát a tak svůj zápal dokáže předat. Až na jednu trochu technickou kapitolu na začátku je to skutečně zážitek, protože se dozvíte, že houby jsou všude kolem nás a jak se proplétají všemi formami života. Závěrečná část vás také donutí přemýšlet o tom, kam nás to všechno zavede. Mohly by nám houby pomoct uzdravit planetu i naše chybující já? Tento knižní klenot jsem daroval už dvěma lidem, další budou následovat. Marcus Mattia, Amazon Jednoznačně okouzlující! Každý, kdo si potrpí na ekologii, má rád houby a Paula Stametse (jednoho z mnoha mykologů, kteří mě donutili zabrousit do těchto končin, abych tady objevil Merlina Sheldrakea), bude tuto knihu zbožňovat. Je vtipná, autor všechno vypráví s nesmírným zápalem, takže se od ní neodtrhnete. Obzvlášť se mi líbila kapitola o lišejnících. Je to prostě kniha, kterou musíte mít! I když vás houby příliš nezajímají, je třeba vědět, co všechno pro naši planetu a nás dělají. R.Tomlinson, Amazon Do této knihy jsem se naprosto zamiloval. Merlin Sheldrake je vědec s představivostí básníka... Je to kniha, která posune váš smysl pro lidskost... Bude inspirovat celou generaci, aby se začala zajímat o mykologii. Michael Pollan, Amazon

The book was really a compilation of documents collected by an unknown 13th century monk. Working with John Matthews, Maarten spent five years translating the mysteries hidden in this obscure book.Presenting their translation and commentary, the authors share forgotten stories of early Arthurian literature and magic. They share the tale of Merlin’s birth from a demon, how he was born able to speak, and how his magic ensured he was not killed by his guardian. Merlin’s affair with the Lady of the Lake is detailed, ending with his imprisonment in a tomb. Other stories include Percival’s first contact with the Grail and King Arthur’s connection with the mystical king Prester John. The authors show how The Prophecies of Merlin sheds new light on the world of King Arthur and the women who learned magic from Merlin.To reveal the esoteric meaning of this work, the authors include Welsh prophecies attributed to Merlin (translated by John and Caitlín Matthews), other prophecies attributed to Merlin that were compiled by Geoffrey of Monmouth, and the original letter of Prester John that inspired the Polo family and Columbus to search for India.Discovering a hitherto lost or forgotten book about Merlin and King Arthur is a rare event these days. Yet here the authors present a virtually forgotten and, to date, untranslated book, which includes much that is new—and exciting—about the legendary king and his magical adviser. Through their translation and insightful passage by passage commentary, they reveal secrets long hidden behind the obscure language of the prophetic utterances.

Merlin remains the most famous and familiar image of the magician we possess. Best known as the advisor of the young King Arthur, he was also a famous seer, whose books of prophecies have been reprinted countless times since the Middle Ages and are still in print today. He has reappeared in numerous guises in modern times, in film, TV and books, as well as being studied as an exponent of shamanism, seership and ancient wisdom.Arthurian expert John Matthews examines the many guises of Merlin â ’ as seer, prophet, magician and, perhaps surprisingly, as lover, and as an inspirer of people from all walks of life. He traces the historical origin of Merlin as a Celtic warrior, the later literary forms of his growing legend in the myths of Arthur, and his more recent manifestations in fantasy writing. Also explored is the important connection between Merlin and the Druids.Spanning the ages and delving into some of the most colourful corners of human history, The Book of Merlin presents a new look at an age-old character. The author has provided a new translation of the poems of Myrddin Wyllt, Merlinâ ™s prophecies in the wilderness: â ˜Snow to my knees, ice in my beard.â ™

A WATERSTONES AND IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARA breathtaking exploration of Ukraine s past, present, and future, and a heartbreaking account of the war against Russia, written by a leading journalist who has lived and worked in Ukraine for over a decade. Vivid. Shocking. [Miller] brings a seasoned, personal perspective to his account of both the 16-month conflict and its wider roots. Daily Telegraph A beautiful blend of memoir, reportage and history...superb. Irish Times ...powerful and insightful...Miller provides a human dimension to a bloody conflict. Kirkus ReviewsWhen Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine just before dawn on 24 February 2022, it marked his latest and most overt attempt to brutally conquer the country, and reshaped the world order. Christopher Miller, the Ukraine correspondent for the Financial Times and a foremost journalist covering the country, was there on the ground when the first Russian missiles struck and troops stormed over the border. But the seeds of Russia s war against Ukraine and the West were sown more than a decade earlier.This is the definitive, inside story of its long fight for freedom. Told through Miller s personal experiences, vivid front-line dispatches and illuminating interviews with unforgettable characters, The War Came To Us takes readers on a riveting journey through the key locales and pivotal events of Ukraine s modern history. From the coal-dusted, sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas in the far east to the heart of the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of Crimea, where Russian troops stealthily annexed Ukraine s peninsula, to the bloody battlefields where Cossacks roamed before the Kremlin s warlords ruled with iron fists; and through the horror and destruction wrought by Russian forces in Bucha, Bakhmut, Mariupol, and beyond.With candor, wit and sensitivity, Miller captures Ukraine in all its glory: vast, defiant, resilient, and full of wonder. A breathtaking narrative that is at times both poignant and inspiring, The War Came To Us is the story of an American who fell in love with a foreign place and its people - and witnessed them do extraordinary things to escape the long shadow of their former imperial ruler and preserve their independence.

The most iconic planes of WWII, the Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, DeHavilland Mosquito and the Avro Lancaster, were all powered by one engine, the Rolls-Royce Merlin. The story of the Merlin is one of British ingenuity at its height, of artistry and problem-solving that resulted in a war-winning design.Published to coincide with the 75th anniversary of VE Day and the 80th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain, Merlin is the extraordinary story of the development of the Rolls-Royce engine that would stop Hitler from invading Britain and carry the war to the very heart of Germany.The story of the Merlin engine encompasses the history of powered flight, from the ingenuity of the Wright Brothers to the horrors of World War I, and from the first crossing of the Atlantic to the heady days of flying in the 1920s. There is also the extraordinary story of the Schneider Trophy â “ an international contest wherein nations poised on the precipice of war competed for engineering excellence in the name of progress.And at the heart of this story are the glamourous lives of the pilots, many of whom died in their pursuit of speed; the engineers, like Henry Royce of Rolls-Royce, who sketched the engine that would win WWII in the sand of his local beach; and perhaps most importantly the Lady Lucy Houston who after the Wall Street Crash singlehandedly funded the development of the engine and the iconic Spitfire.Never was so much owed by so many to so few â “ and without the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, the few would have been powerless.
