Fascism Comes to America - Bruce Kuklick

A deeply relevant look at what fascism means to Americans. From the time Mussolini took power in Italy in 1922, Americans have been obsessed with and brooded over the meaning of fascism and how it might migrate to the United States. Fascism Comes to America examines how we have viewed fascism overseas and its implications for our own country. Bruce Kuklick explores the rhetoric of politicians, who have used the language of fascism to smear opponents, and he looks at the discussions of pundits, the analyses of academics, and the displays of fascism in popular culture, including fiction, radio, TV, theater, and film. Kuklick argues that fascism has little informational meaning in the United States, but instead, it is used to denigrate or insult. For example, every political position has been besmirched as fascist. As a result, the term does not describe a phenomenon so much as it denounces what one does not like. Finally, in displaying fascism for most Americans, entertainment—and most importantly film—has been crucial in conveying to citizens what fascism is about. Fascism Comes to America has been enhanced by many illustrations that exhibit how fascism was absorbed into the US public consciousness. Â

Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen

The international Number One bestseller. Over a million copies sold in the English language. Published in 23 foreign languages. ‘A heartfelt memoir . . . there is a fearlessness to his prose, a willingness to engage with his past, that chimes with his songwriter’s desire to give voice to the people around him’ Sunday Times “Writing about yourself is a funny business…But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I’ve tried to do this.” —Bruce Springsteen, from the pages of Born to Run In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as “The Big Bang”: seeing Elvis Presley’s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us why the song “Born to Run” reveals more than we previously realized.Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks, or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (“Thunder Road,” “Badlands,” “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “The River,” “Born in the U.S.A.,” “The Rising,” and “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences.

What Happened to You? - Bruce D. Perry, Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain development and trauma expert, Dr Bruce Perry, discuss the impact of trauma and adverse experiences – and how healing must begin with a shift to asking ''What happened to you?'' rather than ''What’s wrong with you?''.Through wide-ranging and often deeply personal conversation, Oprah Winfrey and Dr Perry explore how what happens to us in early childhood – both good and bad - influences the people we become.A simple change in perspective can open up a new and hopeful understanding about why we do the things we do, why we are the way we are – and provide a road map for repairing relationships, overcoming what seems insurmountable, and ultimately living better and more fulfilling lives.Many of us experience adversity and trauma during childhood that has lasting impact on our physical and emotional health. And as we’re beginning to understand, we are more sensitive to developmental trauma as children than we are as adults. ‘What happened to us’ in childhood is a powerful predictor of our risk for physical and mental health problems down the road, and offers scientific insights into the patterns of behaviours so many struggle to understand.A survivor of multiple childhood challenges herself, Oprah Winfrey shares portions of her own harrowing experiences because she understands the vulnerability that comes from facing trauma at a young age.Throughout her career, Oprah has teamed up with Dr Bruce Perry, one of the world’s leading experts on childhood trauma. He has treated thousands of children, youth, and adults and has been called on for decades to support individuals and communities following high-profile traumatic events.Now, Oprah joins with Dr Perry to marry the power of storytelling with the science and clinical experience to better understand and overcome the effects of trauma.Grounded in the latest brain science and brought to life through compelling narratives, this book shines a light on a much-needed path to recovery – showing us our incredible capacity to transform after adversity.

Bruce Lee - Matthew Polly

A Sunday Times Book of the Year 'For anyone interested in Lee's legacy, this is a roundhouse kick of a biography' – Sunday Times'At last, Bruce Lee has the powerful biography he deserves... It will thrill Lee's fans and fascinate the unfamiliar' – Jonathan Eig, author of Ali: A Life and Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig'Meticulously researched' – Jimmy McDonough, author of Shakey: Neil Young’s Biography and Soul Survivor: A Biography of Al Green'You won't find a better match for a biographer with his subject than Matthew Polly and Bruce Lee... A definitive biography, told with passion and punch' – Brian Jay Jones, author George Lucas: A Life and Jim Henson: The Biography. More than forty years after Bruce Lee’s sudden death at age 32, journalist and author Matthew Polly has written the definitive account of Lee’s life. It’s also one of the only accounts; incredibly, there has never been an authoritative biography of Lee. Following a decade of research that included conducting more than one hundred interviews with Lee’s family, friends, business associates and even the mistress in whose bed Lee died, Polly has constructed a complex, humane portrait of the icon. There are his early years as a child star in Hong Kong cinema; his actor father’s struggles with opium addiction and how that turned Bruce into a troublemaking teenager who was kicked out of high school and eventually sent to America to shape up; his beginnings as a martial arts teacher, eventually becoming personal instructor to movie stars like Steve McQueen; his struggles as an Asian-American actor in Hollywood and frustration seeing role after role he auditioned for go to white actors in eye makeup; his eventual triumph as a leading man; his challenges juggling a sky-rocketing career with his duties as a father and husband; and his shocking end that to this day is still shrouded in mystery.Polly breaks down the myth of Bruce Lee and argues that, contrary to popular belief, he was an ambitious actor who was obsessed with martial arts—not a great kung-fu master who just so happened to make a couple of movies. The book offers an honest look at an impressive yet flawed man whose personal story was even more entertaining and inspiring than any fictional role he played on-screen.Praise for Matthew Polly'Hypnotic...Tapped Out manages to humanize a sport once demonized as "human cockfighting" by deconstructing the stereotype of the martial-arts tough guy.' – New York Times'Tapped Out is a knockout for MMA fans, who will laugh at the intimate portraits Polly sketches of some of the sport's most famous personalities. But it also works for those not familiar with the sport...You won't be disappointed.' – OpposingViews.com 'A delight to read.' – TheFightNerd.com 'Polly's self-deprecation in the painful learning process stands out as much as the witty prose. His delivery is Plimpton-esque.' – ESPN.com 'Smoothly written . . . Polly has a good eye for characters.' – Publishers Weekly

From Hamas to America - Mosab Hassan Yousef, James Becket

From Hamas to America is a gripping memoir that follows the son of Hamas founder, Mosab Hassan, as he breaks away from his culture''s practice of terrorism to becoming a double-agent for Israel to finally fleeing to America and becoming a US citizen, and ultimately finding peace. ''This is my opportunity to share my journey with others, to let go of both the traumas and the triumphs, to find freedom, to proclaim my truth.'' Mosab Hassan Yousef has worn many labels: Hamas terrorist, Green Prince, spy, traitor, hero, Hollywood player, Muslim, Christian, yogi, stateless, refugee, deportee, citizen. But all these labels have one thing in common: they serve someone else''s agenda. Now, for the first time, the New York Times bestselling author of Son of Hamas tells the full truth of his story. In it we see him growing up as the son of one of the founders of Hamas,; being imprisoned and tortured by the Israelis,; growing to hate the Hamas tactics of rape and violence,; working with the Israeli intelligence to expose suicide bombers and save lives,; seeking asylum in the US,; fighting with Homeland Security to avoid deportation,; rejecting Islam and converting to Christianity and making international headlines for it,; becoming a top speaker on Middle Eastern affairs and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict,; working with Hollywood to tell his story, and; obtaining US citizenship and discovering the life-saving discipline of yoga.. This is the inspiring story of someone who has been under threat of assassination or imprisonment for most of his life, but who somehow finds the path to freedom and peace. Few will walk in his shoes, but everyone can follow his example and make their own journey to find redemption and peace.

Road That Made America - James Dodson

In the bestselling tradition of Rinker Buck’s The Oregon Trail and Tony Horwitz’s Confederates in the Attic, The Road That Made America is a lively, epic account of one of the greatest untold stories in our nation’s history—the eight-hundred-mile long Great Wagon Road that 18th-century American settlers forged from Philadelphia to Georgia that expanded the country dramatically in the decades before we ventured west.Little known today, the Great Wagon Road was the primary road of frontier America: a mass migration route that stretched more than eight hundred miles from Philadelphia to Augusta, Georgia. It opened the Southern frontier and wilderness east of the Appalachian Mountains to America’s first settlers, and later served as the gateway for the exploration of the American West. In the mid-1700s, waves of European colonists in search of land for new homes left Pennsylvania to settle in the colonial backcountry of Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas. More than one hundred thousand settlers made the arduous trek, those who would become the foundational generations of the world’s first true immigrant nation. In their newly formed village squares, democracy took root and bloomed. During the Revolutionary War, the road served as the key supply line to the American resistance in the western areas of the colonies, especially in the South. Drawing on years of fieldwork and scholarship by an army of archeologists, academics, archivists, preservationists, and passionate history lovers, James Dodson sets out to follow the road’s original path from Philadelphia to Georgia. On his journey, he crosses six contiguous states and some of the most historic and hallowed landscapes of eastern America, touching many of the nation’s most sacred battlefields and burying grounds. Due to its strategic importance, military engagements were staged along the Great Wagon Road throughout North America’s three major wars, including the early days of the bloody French and Indian conflict and pivotal Revolutionary War encounters. In time, the Great Wagon Road became America’s first technology highway, as growing roadside villages and towns and cities became, in effect, the first incubators of America’s early Industrial age. The people and ideas that traveled down the road shaped the character of the fledgling nation and helped define who we are today. Dodson’s ancestors on both sides took the Great Wagon Road to Maryland and North Carolina, respectively, giving him a personal stake in uncovering the road’s buried legacy. An illuminating and entertaining first-person history, The Road That Made America restores this long-forgotten route to its rightful place in our national story.

The Teaching Delusion 3: Power Up Your Pedagogy has been written to address the issue of teachers receiving poor feedback in our schools. As a self-improvement and coaching resource, it is essential reading for all teachers and school leaders.

Home Front - Bruce Berman, Mary M. Cronin

As Americans prepared for-and then entered-World War II, the nation was awash with government propaganda. Armed with his Graflex, Speed Graphic, and 35mm cameras, Alfred Palmer shot many of the images that appeared in these patriotic appeals. His photographs were used by the National Defense Advisory Commission, the Office of Emergency Management, the Office of War Information, the War Production Board, the War Shipping Administration, and the US Maritime Commission.Palmer''s photographs were seen by millions of Americans and Europeans. His work reveals his technical prowess. He was masterful in his use of lighting and was a pioneer in the use of color photography. He brought a visual weapon to America''s arsenal to counter Nazi propaganda. His images portray a country transformed into an economically wealthy, socially coherent, and energetic nation whose citizens-including women and ethnic minorities-were depicted as vitally important to the war effort.

Co to čmáráš?

Co to čmáráš? – Kresli, hádej a sbírej bodyCo to čmáráš? je originální párty hra, kde vítězí nápad, ne kreslířský talent. Všichni hráči mají stejné zadání – tedy skoro. Každý kreslí jiné slovo ze stejné trojice a snaží se, aby jeho kresba co nejvíce odpovídala vybranému výrazu. Jenže pozor – jak poznat, kdo kreslí „letadlo“, a kdo „sousedku odvedle“? Každý hráč si tajně vylosuje číslo 1, 2 nebo 3, které určuje, co bude kreslit z aktuální karty. Na kreslení máte pouze 30 vteřin – žádná písmena, čísla ani nápovědy! Poté všichni tipují, co kreslili ostatní, pomocí barevných žetonů s čísly. Body získáváte jak za správné hádání, tak za to, když ostatní uhodnou vaši kresbu. Proč si ji zamilujete Blesková a nenáročná zábava – vhodná pro každého bez ohledu na výtvarné schopnosti. Výbuchy smíchu z nečekaných čmáranic zaručeny. Skvělá i ve větším počtu hráčů – ideální na rodinné večery, oslavy i teambuilding. Obsah balení 137 karet se slovy (celkem 411 výrazů) 63 barevných žetonů s čísly 9 černých žetonů s čísly 7 přehledových karet 7 tužek Přesýpací hodiny Pravidla Hra je určena pro 3 až 7 hráčů od 10 let a jedna partie trvá přibližně 30 minut. Kdo z vás dokáže vytvořit ten nejvýmluvnější obrázek – a kdo si z kreslení odnese jen smích?

Čo to vlastne zbierame? - Ivan Melicherčík

Nová kniha novinára a zberateľa Ivana Melicherčíka (78) ČO TO VLASTNE ZBIERAME? sa opäť zaoberá fenoménom zberateľstva umenia. Autor tak voľne nadväzuje na svoje tri predchádzajúce knihy s rovnakou témou – ZBERATEĽ, PRÍBEH BEZ KONCA (2018), ZBERATEĽ alebo ZMLUVA S DIABLOM (2012) a O ZBERATEĽSTVE alebo DELIRIUM COLLECTORIS (2004). Tentoraz ide o súbor krátkych postrehov, myšlienok, príbehov, úvah, kritických glos či skúseností súvisiacich so zberateľstvom, vášňou, čo si zahráva so zdravým rozumom. Sám autor zápasí s touto šťastnou a zároveň prekliatou diagnózou už bezmála polstoročie. V knihe si opäť všíma svetlé i tmavšie stránky zberateľskej vášne, píše o otáznikoch spojených s výtvarnou kritikou a dejinami umenia, o manipulácii médií, o prehnanom sebavedomí výtvarných umelcov a ich často lživom marketingu, o aktuálnom obchode s umením a podvodoch v ňom, o manipulácii médií, o boome súkromných galérií, ktorý neoslabila ani pandémia... Viac ako 250-stranová kniha o umení zbierať umenie je ilustrovaná dokumentárnymi fotografiami i reprodukciami výtvarných diel. Jedinou dramaturgiou knihy je voľný priebeh poznámok a nápadov, tak ako si ich Ivan Melicherčík náhodne zaznamenával do notesu počas posledných troch rokov. Sú striedme, možno tematicky na prvý pohľad nesúrodé, kritické i adresné, majú humor, jednoducho sú plodom bleskového nápadu, ktorý autorovi práve preletel hlavou. Aktuálne zamyslenia bez kapitol napísalo pero novinára a zberateľa a nie teoretika umenia. O to viac budú mať bližšie k zberateľovi i čitateľovi, ktorý má rád umenie.

Co to šumí? Blankytný vesmír - Vladimír Mikeš

Kniha Co to šumí? Blankytný vesmír obsahuje výběr z básnické tvorby Vladimíra Mikeše z let 2019 až 2022. Navazuje na předešlou sbírku Odkud to přichází? (2021) a editoři Antonín Petruželka a Jonáš Hájek za spolupráce Anity Krausové a Hany Tomkové vybírali z 1824 básní. Provedli redukci na konečný počet 184 básní (36 z roku 2019, 71 z roku 2020, 51 z roku 2021 a 26 z roku 2022), přičemž se snažili, aby v nové knize byly zastoupeny pokud možno všechny okruhy či linie autorovy tvorby (z hlediska témat i poetiky), včetně typu "ready-mades" (využití textů z médií či z Bible). Autor mluví o této své tvorbě jako o básnickém deníku. Datum na konci každé básně proto označuje den, kdy byla dopsána. S výjimkou začátku knihy editoři respektovali chronologický sled vybraných textů. Stejně jako u předešlé knihy Odkud to přichází? se opět setkáváme s originální reflexí, hlubinným tázáním po smyslu existence člověka, po jeho ukotvenosti v jazyce a místě.
