Jak mluvit o klimatické krizi s těmi, kdo se o ekologii nezajímají? Timothy Morton místo hory dat a sloganů nabízí filozofickou cestu na hranice lidského a nelidského světa. A během ní máme šanci nejen zachránit planetu, ale taky objevit vlastní spřízněnost s přírodou okolo. Timothy Morton je britský*á filozof*ka, jehož*jíž práce stojí na pomezí současné postantropocentrické filozofie a environmentálních studií. Patří ke klíčovým postavám takzvané objektově orientované ontologie, která mimo jiné boří tradiční hranice mezi lidským a nelidským světem i hierarchie bytí. Jako profesor*ka dlouhodobě působí na Rice University v Texasu a kromě ekologie nebo filozofie píše o umění, populární kultuře a literatuře. Vydal*a přes 18 knih, z nichž vzešla řada vlivných konceptů - kromě hyperobjektů, které Morton řeší v této knize, třeba temná ekologie. Jeho*jí práce meandruje mezi akademickou filozofií a populární esejistikou, spolupracoval*a s Björk, Pharrellem Williamsem nebo Olafurem Eliassonem.

''To read Being Ecological is to be caught up in a brilliant display of intellectual pyrotechnics'' P.D.Smith, GuardianWhy is everything we think we know about ecology wrong?Is there really any difference between ''humans'' and ''nature''?Does this mean we even have a future?Don''t care about ecology? This book is for you. Timothy Morton, who has been called ''Our most popular guide to the new epoch'' (Guardian), sets out to show us that whether we know it or not, we already have the capacity and the will to change the way we understand the place of humans in the world, and our very understanding of the term ''ecology''. A cross-disciplinarian who has collaborated with everyone from Björk to Hans Ulrich Obrist, Morton is also a member of the object-oriented philosophy movement, a group of forward-looking thinkers who are grappling with modern-day notions of subjectivity and objectivity, while also offering fascinating new understandings of Heidegger and Kant. Calling the volume a book containing ''no ecological facts'', Morton confronts the ''information dump'' fatigue of the digital age, and offers an invigorated approach to creating a liveable future.

''An old teapot, used daily, can tell me more of my past than anything I recorded of it.'' Sylvia Townsend WarnerThere are many ways of telling the story of a life and how we''ve got to where we are. The questions of why and how we think the way we do continues to preoccupy philosophers. In The Stuff of Life, Timothy Morton chooses the objects that have shaped and punctuated their life to tell the story of who they are and why they might think the way they do. These objects are ''things'' in the richest sense. They are beings, non-human beings, that have a presence and a force of their own. From the looming expanse of Battersea Power Station to a packet of anti-depressants and a cowboy suit, Morton explores why ''stuff'' matters and the life of these things have so powerfully impinged upon their own. Their realization, through a concealer stick, that they identify as non-binary reveals the strange and wonderful ways that objects can form our worlds.Part memoir, part philosophical exploration of the meaning of a life lived alongside and through other things, Morton asks us to think about the stuff, things, objects and buildings that have formed our realities and who we are and might be.

‘The Welsh habit of revolt against the English is an old-standing madness … from the sayings of the prophet Merlin they still hope to recover their land. Hence, they frequently rebel … but because they do not know the appointed time, they are often deceived and their labour is in vain.’ (Vita Edwardi Secundi)The appointed time, it turned out, was 1485. For generations, the ancestors of Welshman Owen Tudor had fought Romans, Irish Picts, Vikings, Saxons, Mercians and Normans. His uncles had been executed in the Glyndwr Welsh War of Independence. Owen fought for Henry V in France and entered the service of Henry’s queen, Catherine of Valois. Soon after the king’s death he secretly married her, the mother of the eight-month-old Henry VI. Owen and Catherine would have two boys together. Henry VI would go on to ennoble them as Edmund Earl of Richmond, and Jasper Earl of Pembroke, but upon Catherine’s death Owen was imprisoned. Escaping twice, Owen was thrown into the beginnings of the Wars of the Roses with his two sons. It would be Edmund’s son, Henry Tudor, who would take the English throne as Henry VII.When Jasper led the Lancastrian forces at Mortimer’s Cross in 1461, the ageing Owen led a wing of the defeated army, was captured and executed. Without his earlier secret marriage for love, there would have been no Tudor dynasty.

This new, select edition of Wilfred Owen''s letters provides a fresh understanding of the poet''s life in his own words.Wilfred Owen''s fame as one of the great war poets of the twentieth century is unsurpassed, with Dulce et Decorum est possibly the defining piece of World War literature.Owen''s letters reveal the man behind the cultural icon; human with all his foibles, whose 25 years were marked by great highs and lows, by emerging modernity, and the violence of war. Evocative, lyrical, and often surprisingly funny, the letters act as both autobiography and companion to the famous war poems. He was both an accomplished poet and one of the finest letter-writers of the twentieth century.Accompanied by new notes and new introduction, as well as previously redacted and omitted material, the new edition of Owen''s Selected Letters brings together past and contemporary scholarship to provide fresh insights into Owen''s character and poetic development.

Audiokniha: Alžbeta z rodu Windsorovcov bola vždy mimoriadne plachá a snívala o pokojnom živote na vidieku, kde by si založila rodinu a starala sa o psy a kone. Osud to však zariadil inak. Následníčkou trónu sa stala po abdikácii svojho strýka kráľa Eduarda VIII. a po predčasnom skone svojho otca kráľa Juraja VI. Počas sedemdesiatich rokov svojho pôsobenia vo funkcii anglickej kráľovnej zažila nielen triumfy, ale čelila i nekonečnému radu prekážok a rodinných konfliktov. Bola vystavená náročným skúškam vytrvalosti a odvahy, no jej úsilie udržať monarchiu na poprednom mieste kultúrne, spoločensky a politicky bolo nezlomné. Neraz pritom narazila na odpor zvnútra samotnej inštitúcie aj zvnútra vlastnej rodiny, ktorá bola pod intenzívnym drobnohľadom médií. Prepieralo sa v nich všetko od údajnej nevery jej manžela, neúspešného manželstva jej sestry, tragickej smrti princeznej Diany až po nedávny odchod princa Harryho a Meghan z kráľovskej rodiny. Renomovaný životopisec Andrew Morton sa v tejto audioknihe podrobne venuje najdlhšie vládnucej britskej panovníčke a skúma vplyv, aký mala prakticky celú druhú polovicu minulého storočia na Britániu a na zvyšok sveta. Stála na čele národa, ktorý sa musel spamätať po ničivej druhej svetovej vojne a nájsť si novú cestu v rozporuplnom politickom prostredí súčasnosti. Vždy bola rezervovaná, no rozhodná. Toto je príbeh ženy neochvejnej sebadisciplíny, na ktorú budú ľudia dlho spomínať ako na matku a starú matku Veľkej Británie, a tiež ako na jednu z najväčších panovníčok modernej éry. Povedali o titule "Andrew Morton je najznámejším a najdostupnejším, ak nie najlepším, životopiscom anglickej kráľovskej rodiny."―New York Times "Rozprávanie, ktoré trafí všetky zápletky. Samozrejme je to presne tak ako by to kráľovná Alžbeta chcela"―Washington Post "Je ťažké necítiť istú náklonnost ku kráľovnej po prečítaní tejto knihy, bez ohľadu na váš názor na monarchiu"―Star Tribune

Social standing is everything in Regency England, and no one knows better than Miss Caroline Morton, the daughter of a disgraced earl, now gainfully employed as a lady’s companion—along with a sideline in sleuthing. But when she has a chance to claim what’s rightfully hers, the one obstacle in her way is a dangerous murder mystery . . .Miss Caroline has doubts when she receives an urgent invitation from a London law firm to discuss her late father’s estate. After all, the dishonored Earl of Morton died without a pound sterling to pass on to his two daughters. But while immersing herself in helping Mrs. Frogerton’s capricious daughter navigate the high social season, Caroline meets with a cagey lawyer, Mr. Smith, who shares life-altering news—the earl composed a second will, leaving behind an undisclosed fortune.Mrs. Frogerton, however, is thoroughly unimpressed with the firm’s conduct and suspicious of their true motives. Her instinct proves right when the two ladies find the office ransacked, staff in turmoil, and Mr. Smith missing. The full weight of the situation doesn’t sink in until Mr. Smith dies following a brutal attack on the street—discovered with an empty envelope bearing Caroline’s name in his pocket. With a connection forming between two deaths at the firm, Caroline can’t imagine why anyone would kill twice over the contents of a will. Further complicating matters is the amorous Mr. DeBloom—who claims his mother goaded the earl into making bad investments and promises to link Caroline to her inheritance—and the disappearance of Susan, her younger sister. As Caroline unwittingly becomes the center of both a criminal case and a sordid love triangle, she must tread with caution while seeking the truth . . . because someone is waiting to reduce her to nothing more than a signature on a dotted line.

As humans continue to degrade and destroy our planet’s resources, leading to predictions of total ecological collapse, some (such as the entrepreneur Elon Musk) now suggest that a human colony elsewhere may be our species’ best hope for survival. Adam Morton examines extra-terrestrial colonization plans with a critical eye. He makes a strong case for colonization – just not by human beings. Humans live relatively short lives and, to survive, require large amounts of food and water, very specific climatic conditions and an oxygen-rich atmosphere. We can create colonists that have none of these shortcomings. Reflecting compassionately on the nature of existence, Morton argues that we should treat the end of the human race in the same way that we treat our own deaths: as something sad but ultimately inevitable. The earth will perish one day, and, in the end, we should be concerned more with securing the future of intelligent beings than with the preservation of our species, which represents but a nanosecond in the history of our solar system.

Drawing on his own Maori ancestry, Owen weaves together insights from homo sapiens' evolutionary story and our collective wisdom. He shines a light on where these powerful ideas are applied around the world in high-performing settings encompassing sport, business, the arts and military. Whakapapa is a Maori idea which embodies our universal human need to belong. It represents a powerful spiritual belief - that each of us is part of an unbroken and unbreakable chain of people who share a sacred identity. Owen places this concept at the core of his methods to maximize a team's performance. Aspects of Owen's unique approach include: finding your identity story; defining a shared purpose; visioning future success; sharing ownership with others; understanding the 'silent dance' that plays out in groups; setting the conditions to unleash talent; and converting our diversity into a competitive advantage.

A Washington Post Best Nonfiction Book of the Year In the spirit of Fierce Attachments and The End of Your Life Book Club, acclaimed novelist Brian Morton delivers a “superb” (Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air), darkly funny memoir of his mother’s vibrant life and the many ways in which their tight, tumultuous relationship was refashioned in her twilight years.Tasha Morton is a force of nature: a brilliant educator who’s left her mark on generations of students—and also a whirlwind of a mother, intrusive, chaotic, oppressively devoted, and irrepressible. For decades, her son Brian has kept her at a self-protective distance, but when her health begins to fail, he knows it’s time to assume responsibility for her care. Even so, he’s not prepared for what awaits him, as her refusal to accept her own fragility leads to a series of epic outbursts and altercations that are sometimes frightening, sometimes wildly comic, and sometimes both. Clear-eyed, “deeply stirring” (Dani Shapiro, The New York Times Book Review), and brimming with dark humor, Tasha is both a vivid account of an unforgettable woman and a stark look at the impossible task of caring for an elderly parent in a country whose unofficial motto is “you’re on your own.”

Social standing is everything in Regency England—and no one knows better than Miss Caroline Morton, a lady’s companion from a disgraced line. But when she has a chance to claim what’s rightfully hers, the one obstacle in her way is a dangerous murder mystery . . .Miss Caroline has doubts when she receives an urgent invitation from a London law firm to discuss her late father’s estate. After all, the dishonored Earl of Morton died without a pound sterling to pass on to his two daughters. But while immersing herself in helping Mrs. Frogerton’s capricious daughter navigate the high social season, Caroline meets with a cagey lawyer, Mr. Smith, who shares life-altering news—the earl composed a second will, leaving behind an undisclosed fortune.Mrs. Frogerton, however, is thoroughly unimpressed with the firm’s conduct and suspicious of their true motives. Her instinct proves right when the two ladies find the office ransacked, staff in turmoil, and Mr. Smith missing. The full weight of the situation doesn’t sink in until Mr. Smith dies following a brutal attack on the street—discovered with an empty envelope bearing Caroline’s name in his pocket. With a connection forming between two deaths at the firm, Caroline can’t imagine why anyone would kill twice over the contents of a will. Further complicating matters is the amorous Mr. DeBloom—who claims his mother goaded the earl into making bad investments and promises to link Caroline to her inheritance—and the disappearance of Susan, her younger sister. As Caroline unwittingly becomes the center of both a criminal case and a sordid love triangle, she must tread with caution while seeking the truth . . . because someone is waiting to reduce her to nothing more than a signature on a dotted line.

“A mesmerizing tale like no other.”—Priyanka Kumar, author of Conversations with Birds“A beautiful book. The writing about birds—their songs and sounds, what birds mean to us, the wonder and joy they evoke in us—is among the most original, insightful, and enjoyable I’ve read.”—James Macdonald Lockhart, author of Wild Air: In Search of BirdsongThis captivating memoir takes readers into the eccentric world of competitive bird-calling—following the coming-of-age story of two boys who found their voice in the natural world.This captivating book brings together two birds of a feather: Jean and Johnny, boys from very different worlds growing up in a small village in France. Jean is the genteel pharmacist’s son, dressed in his Sunday best; Johnny’s father is a rough, working-class sheep herder, always with the odor of animals clinging to him. Each year, over three hundred bird species visit their village, which intersects a major migratory flyway.The two boys’ stories converge when Jean enters a bird-calling contest. He places second, and at only eleven years old becomes a child celebrity on the bird-calling circuit. Then Johnny starts to compete as well. At the annual bird festival, both boys are standouts, and a long, admiring rivalry develops between them, eventually culminating in the European championships.As they evolve as performers, the two boys’ identities become more distinct: Jean is soft-spoken, while Johnny likes to play to the crowd. While most of their competitors are adult men, hunters who learned to call birds for sport, the two boys are fascinated with the pure beauty of birdsong, and in trying to transcend themselves through imitating birds. Their shared passion develops into an enduring partnership as performers, and they go on to tour the world in concert as the Bird Singers.This is a story as much about friendship as it is about birdsong. The setting is timeless and bucolic, with long walks to small village schools, games of pick-up soccer, and father-son birding trips. The chapters, which bounce back and forth between the two narrators, are woven through with descriptions of colorful characters in the bird-calling competition circuit and the kind of ornithological detail that can only come from a true passion for birds. There is poetry in the description of the different birds, from common seagulls to thrushes and bluethroats and nightingales, and something like communion in the way Jean and Johnny understand the feathered friends they imitate.Unique, evocative, and cinematic, The Bird Singers is the story of an unlikely friendship, sparked by a desire to speak with the avian world.

Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award 2006Ideas of separation and divorce are important in Owen Sheers'' eagerly-awaited new book: the geographical divides of borders, the separation of the dead and the living, the movement from childhood to adulthood, the ending of relationships.Such divides are both moments of ''mark-making'' and moments of absence. In this collection it is often the awareness of such separation – past or impending – and the juxtaposition of these diverse states – that provides the friction from which the poems are born.The book revolves around the two poems ''Y Gaer'' and ''The Hillfort'', the titles themselves suggesting the linguistic divide in Wales, from poems concerned with childhood, a Welsh landscape and family, to a more outward looking vision both geographically and historically."Sheers is a vivid, sensuous writer."The Times"It is the truth in the details that suggests indisputably that Sheers is the real thing, a poet of promise whom we are sure to hear much of in the future."Dannie Abse"Owen Sheers is one of the most exciting talents around and a fabulous performer of his work."Carol Ann DuffyBorn in Fiji, raised in Abergavenny, educated at Oxford and a graduate of the University of East Anglia writing programme, Owen Sheers was named as one of the Next Generation poets by the Poetry Book Society in 2004.

This volume, edited by Oxford Professor Jon Stallworthy, gathers together the poems for which Owen is best known, and which represent his most important contribution to poetry in the twentieth century. ‘The greatest of all the war poets.... it is Owen''s intense respect for the soldier that makes his poetry so powerful. Those who did not return have their meticulously maintained stone memorials on the fields of Flanders. But their memorial in our minds is largely built by Wilfred Owen’ Jeremy Paxman, Spectator
