Exordia - Seth Dickinson

Ambiciózní sci-fi román o setkání s nepřátelskou mimozemskou civilizací Exordia — jak strašidelné galaktické impérium, tak stejnojmenný román — představuje tresť všeho, co má správná sci-fi mít. Kurdská odstřelovačka, již pro své zájmy získají krvelační vetřelci, íránský stíhací pilot, který ovládne warp, čínská matematička a její nesmělá katolická milenka z Filipín, ugandští těžaři, kanadští prospektoři, zaměstnanci americké vlády, ruští molodci… a hrozba zničení Země a zotročení galaxie ztělesněným Zlem, jasně umístěným na exaktní škále morálních hodnot. Seth Dickinson rozjíždí válku světů, kde se jako na horské dráze střídají ohromující technobitvy s existenciálními úvahami, osobní dilemata s kosmickými nejistotami, časoprostorové anomálie s křehkostmi lidského sebevnímání. A to všechno naložil na hrb postavám, které si zamilujeme ne pro jejich sílu, ale pro humor, s nímž nesou svoji slabost, a statečnost, k níž jim dopomohly přízraky vlastní minulosti.

Emily Dickinson's Gardening Life - McDowell Marta

“A visual treat as well as a literary one…for gardeners and garden lovers, connoisseurs of botanical illustration, and those who seek a deeper understanding of the life and work of Emily Dickinson.” —The Wall Street Journal“Offers an excuse (if one is necessary) to linger yet again over the observations of a poet who, as Dickinson herself proclaimed, ‘was always attached to Mud’.” —The New York Times Book Review Emily Dickinson was a keen observer of the natural world, but less well known is the fact that she was also an avid gardener—sending fresh bouquets to friends, including pressed flowers in her letters, and studying botany at Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke. At her family home, she tended both a small glass conservatory and a flower garden. In Emily Dickinson’s Gardening Life, award-winning author Marta McDowell explores Dickinson’s deep passion for plants and how it inspired and informed her writing. Tracing a year in the garden, the book reveals details few know about Dickinson and adds to our collective understanding of who she was as a person. By weaving together Dickinson’s poems, excerpts from letters, contemporary and historical photography, and botanical art, McDowell offers an enchanting new perspective on one of America’s most celebrated but enigmatic literary figures.

The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson collects more than 150 of Dickinson's brief but memorable poems. Bursting with insights about life, love, nature, death, and immortality, these poems are among the best loved and most reprinted in English literature.

Nightwatch - Dickinson Terence, Ken Hewitt-White

As NightWatch, Terence Dickinson''s classic stargazing guide, neared its 40th anniversary, Dickinson worked with a small group of trusted colleagues to give this groundbreaking reference an overhaul that will take it deep into the 21st century. Longtime astronomy writer and sky observer Ken Hewitt-White led the editorial team. A central aspect to this new edition is the subtle improvements to the unique seasonal star charts that present a 360-degree simulation of the night sky on one page and identify the stars and constellations on the facing page. Yet it is Dickinson''s clear, jargon-free language that will continue to inspire hundreds of thousands of people around the world to take up recreational astronomy. Much has happened in this popular hobby since the revised Fourth Edition of NightWatch was published in 2006. In response, the text has been substantially revised and updated throughout all 13 chapters. Moreover, the book has been completely redesigned and most of its many photographs have been replaced. A noted feature is the variety of superb astrophotos of star clusters, nebulas, galaxies and other celestial phenomena taken by accomplished amateur astronomers. Lavishly illustrated sections on the Moon and planets will inspire novice observers of the solar system. To accommodate the extensive revisions, NightWatch has grown from 192 pages to 208 pages. With the release of the Fifth Edition, we are also launching a new website, NightWatchBook.com, that will offer links to additional resources and will be regularly updated with information on new celestial events and equipment. Since the First Edition of NightWatch was released in 1983, the most significant transformations in amateur astronomy have been in optics and technology. For all the latest on gadgets and gear, renowned astrophotographer Alan Dyer, Dickinson''s coauthor of The Backyard Astronomer''s Guide, has contributed an entirely new chapter on basic digital astrophotography. Dyer has also modernized a key portion of an enlarged chapter on stargazing equipment, creating a welcoming place in NightWatch for today''s computerized telescopes. Stargazing enthusiasts of all levels of experience will discover much of value in an enduring reference conceived by one of the most respected names in amateur astronomy. This must-have Fifth Edition includes: a comprehensive, all-season guide to the night sky constellation charts covering both northern- and southern-hemisphere skies, making NightWatch a truly global resource tips on choosing binoculars and telescopes and taking astrophotos highlights of major features on the Moon to guide the budding lunar explorer lists of solar and lunar eclipses, planet locations and the best lunar and planetary conjunctions to 2035 a range of resources for further study.

The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson - Emily Dickinsonová

Explore the essence of life, love, nature, and time in exquisite verse with this elegantly designed edition of Emily Dickinson’s finest poems. Born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a prominent New England family and educated at Amherst Academy and Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, Emily Elizabeth Dickinson lived most of her life in seclusion, devoted to writing. She scarcely left home, nor did she have many visitors. Only ten of her poems were published in her lifetime, submitted without her permission by friends. It was only after her death in 1886 that the scope of her work as a poet came to light—over 1,700 poems were discovered in a dresser drawer by her sister, Lavinia. Emily Dickinson’s poems reflect her loneliness, as well as her love of nature, the influence of the Metaphysical poets of seventeenth century England, and her strong Puritan religious beliefs. Yet, it is her use of language, form, and the deceptive simplicity of her verse that categorize her as an important force in nineteenth century American letters and, along with Walt Whitman, a founder of a distinctly American voice in modern poetry. PRELUDE THIS is my letter to the world, That never wrote to me,— That simple news that Nature told, With tender majesty. Her message is committed To hands I cannot see; For love of her, sweet countrymen, Judge tenderly of me! The Timeless Classics series from Rock Point brings together the works of classic authors from around the world. Complete and unabridged, these elegantly designed gift editions feature luxe, patterned endpapers, ribbon markers, and foil and deboss details on vibrantly colored cases. Celebrate these beloved works of literature as true standouts in your personal library collection.

1999: Manchester United, the Treble and All That - Matt Dickinson

In 1999, Manchester United completed a unique Treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League - but more remarkable than that was how they did it, and the stories behind the historic achievement. Matt Dickinson covered the whole story at the time, and now in 99 compelling chapters brings it all vividly to life. When the season began, Manchester United were up for sale, the club's iconic talisman Eric Cantona had gone, rivals Arsenal were the reigning Double winners, David Beckham was a national hate figure after being sent off during the World Cup, and even manager Alex Ferguson's position was being questioned. Early signs weren't promising, despite record spending to bring in new stars, among them Jaap Stam and Dwight Yorke, but soon things began to change. Driven by the indomitable will of skipper Roy Keane, supported by a nucleus from the Class of 92 - Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, the Nevilles and Paul Scholes - who had grown up at the club, they went on a long unbeaten and unbeatable run, featuring some of the most dramatic games in English football history. Acclaimed football writer Matt Dickinson goes behind the scenes of the legendary Manchester United treble of 1999: a tale full of comebacks, drama and record-breaking feats. So much more than a book for United fans; it is an insight into team building, the will to succeed, a tale of local pride and of history-makers.

Emily Dickinson - Emily Dickinsonová

American poet Emily Dickinson is revered around the world, and influenced many feminist artists and writers. Her work is some of the best known and most quoted or adapted:''Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all'' Emily DickinsonDickinson received a very good education, but chose to return home to Amherst, Massachusetts, where she spent the rest of her life, writing more than a poem a day until her death. Her refusal to compromise her highly condensed expression meant that only a tiny fraction of her work was published in her lifetime. Even today, her work feels startlingly modern:''Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell'' Emily Dickinson''The dearest ones of time, the strongest friends of the soul - BOOKS''This is a superb collection from a truly iconic poet.

The Deep Down Things – Practices for Growing Hope in Times of Despair - Amber C. Haines, Seth Haines

There''s no escaping it: everyone experiences seasons of pain and despair. In 2019, when Amber Haines resigned from her position as church curate and walked out the church doors for the last time, she entered her own season of pain and despair. That season taught her--and her husband, Seth Haines--that the journey toward hope starts with recognizing "the deep down things."In The Deep Down Things, Amber and Seth point to a simple truth: even in the darkest times, there are tangible signs of hope all around us. The authors demonstrate how tasting, touching, feeling, holding, and participating in these tangible acts of hope picks us up, builds our strength, and moves us into beauty, even in times of despair. They invite readers to participate with those signs of hope and thereby experience the divine love of God, even in the struggle of their everyday lives.A lifeline for those who desperately need it, this book helps readers overcome despair, find hope, and spread that hope to an aching world.

Co dělá tenhle knoflík? - Autobiografie frontmana skupiny Iron Maiden - Bruce Dickinson

Malý Bruce byl do šesti let vychováván prarodiči v anglickém Worksopu, jeho rodiče se totiž vydali na cestu se svou psí show. Po studiu na internátní škole se vydal do Londýna na Queen Mary University a zahájil studium historie. Ne že by chtěl být historikem, ale byla to dobrá záminka, jak se od rodičů dostat a věnovat se muzice. A to se mu podařilo! V knize vypráví o svém angažmá v různých kapelách, předtím než se přidal k Iron Maiden, kteří ho proslavili. Iron Maiden vydali šestnáct studiových alb, ve kterých se vystřídali tři zpěváci: Paul Di’Anno, Bruce Dickinson a Blaze Bayley, který Bruce na pár let nahradil. Prodali přes 100 miliónů desek a byli čtyřikrát nominováni na cenu Grammy. Nominaci za píseň El Dorado dokonce proměnili. Procestovali celý svět díky pětadvaceti divokým turné. Začali dokonce pro přesun používat vlastní leteckou linku Ed Force One, která je pojmenovaná po maidenovském maskotovi Eddiemu, hubeném kostlivci, který Maideny doprovází už od začátku. Ale nejen to! V knize se totiž dozvíte nejen o jeho hudební kariéře a výhodách a úskalích života heavymetalové hvězdy, ale také o tom, jak se učil létat a získal pilotní licenci, o jeho vztahu k šermu a o boji s rakovinou. Bruce je zábavný vypravěč, který nešetří vtipnými historkami ze života!

Manchester United – 1999. Příběh úžasné sezony - Matt Dickinson

V roce 1999 zkompletoval Manchester United unikátní treble, když vyhrál Premier League, FA Cup a Ligu mistrů – ještě pozoruhodnější však bylo, jak se mu to podařilo, a příběhy, které za tímto historickým úspěchem stály. Když sezóna začínala, byl Manchester United na prodej, končil legendární Eric Cantona, konkurenční Arsenal byl úřadujícím dvojnásobným mistrem, David Beckham byl po vyloučení během mistrovství světa nenáviděnou postavou národa, a dokonce i pozice manažera Alexe Fergusona byla zpochybňována. Hnáni nezdolnou vůlí kapitána Roye Keana a podporováni odchovanci Beckhamem, Nickym Buttem, Ryanem Giggsem, Gary Nevillem či Paulem Scholesem se United vydali na dlouhou sérii bez porážky. Matt Dickinson byl po celou dobu blízko kabině United. Vyzdvihuje klíčové momenty a hovoří s těmi, kteří byli v centru dění, i s těmi, co zůstávali v pozadí. 1999: Je to mnohem víc než jen kniha pro fanoušky Manchesteru United; je to vhled do budování týmu, vůle po úspěchu a příběh hrdosti. Odhaluje skutečné příběhy stojící za legendou, kterou zpečetil Ole Gunnar Solskjaer vstřeleným gólem v poslední minutě finále Ligy mistrů.

What Does This Button Do? - Bruce Dickinson

`I was spotty, wore an anorak, had biro-engraved flared blue jeans with "purple" and "Sabbath" written on the thighs, and rode an ear-splittingly uncool moped. Oh yes, and I wanted to be a drummer...' Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden's legendary front man - is one of the world's most iconic singers and songwriters. But there are many strings to Bruce's bow, of which larger-than-life lead vocalist is just one. He is also an airline captain, aviation entrepreneur, motivational speaker, beer brewer, novelist, radio presenter, film scriptwriter and an international fencer: truly one of the most unique and interesting men in the world. In What Does this Button Do? Bruce contemplates the rollercoaster of life. He recounts - in his uniquely anarchic voice - the explosive exploits of his eccentric British childhood, the meteoric rise of Maiden, summoning the powers of darkness, the philosophy of fencing, brutishly beautiful Boeings and firmly dismissing cancer like an uninvited guest. Bold, honest, intelligent and funny, this long-awaited memoir captures the life, heart and mind of a true rock icon, and is guaranteed to inspire curious souls and hard-core fans alike.
