With rich and transporting photography, a back-to-basics approach to French cooking, and an inspiring story of starting over, French Kitchen Lessons is your passport to the abundance and beauty of the French countryside. In 2010, Cat Bude and her husband left their jobs in the Pacific Northwest, packed up their house and kids and moved to Normandy, France. Uprooted and longing for connection, the search for a home base began. They found that and more in the form of a run-down, rambling farmhouse, overrun with wild rabbits. Now restored, and lovingly named Rabbit Hill Farm, this is the center of Cat’s world, and her vehicle for sharing the joys of country life with others, from guided market trips to lavender harvest parties, and cooking classes. Following the seasons, French Kitchen Lessons begins with classic French staples like sauces, and stocks, then teaches you how to create simple, satisfying, and elegant dishes like Steamed Mussels with Pernod, Summer Vegetable Tian, a Wild Mushroom Omelet, Cider-Braised Pork, and Lemon Poppy Seed Crêpes—all inspired by the French market-to-table tradition.

Virginia Woolfová patří k literárním ikonám dvacátého století: málokdo měl na vývoj moderní prózy větší vliv než ona. Proč tomu tak je, ukazuje výmluvně přední britská kulturní historička Alexandra Harrisová. Její nové biografii Virginie Woolfové se v anglofonních zemích dostalo nadšeného kritického přijetí i mimořádného čtenářského ohlasu, zejména díky autorčině schopnosti barvitě a srozumitelně vykreslit Woolfové život i dobu a skrze živý detail přiblížit její geniální literární dílo. Těm, kdož Woolfovou neznají, nabízí Alexandra Harrisová čtivý úvod do spisovatelčina díla, znalcům modernistické spisovatelky pak neotřelé a novátorské interpretace jejích velkých děl, založené na důkladné znalosti předmětu. Alexandra Harrisová (1981) vystudovala anglistiku na Oxfordu; v současnosti přednáší na University of Liverpool. Kritická biografie Virginie Woolfové je její druhou knihou; její literárněhistorický debut Romantic Moderns získal řadu ocenění, mj. prestižní cenu The Guardian First Book Award za rok 2010.

Jak se dcera dvou přistěhovalců v Kalifornii vypracovala na první viceprezidentku Spojených států amerických? Vlastní cestou. Kamalu Harrisovou a její mladší sestru vychovala svobodná matka, praktická odbornice na rakovinu, která jako devatenáctiletá emigrovala z Indie za lepším vzděláním. S Kamaliným otcem, špičkovým profesorem ekonomiky pocházejícím z Jamajky, se rozešla, když bylo Kamale jen pět let. Kamala zdědila po obou rodičích smysl pro sociální spravedlnost, po matce pak pracovní nasazení, cit pro detail, a především talent dokázat nemožné. Po skromných začátcích v Oaklandu a následném aktivistickém období na Howardově univerzitě z ní vyrostla nezdolná, pohotová, chápavá a precizní žena - obávaná prokurátorka vyhlášená svými jízlivými průpovídkami a politička schopná šikovně zvládat rozpolcenou kalifornskou politickou kulturu. To vše zachytil zkušený novinář Dan Morain, jenž sledoval život Kamaly Harrisové celých pětadvacet let, během nichž se zabýval situací v Kalifornii. Nyní předkládá první podrobný a čtivý popis Kamaliny nevšední profesní dráhy. Zároveň autor průběžně ukazuje, co Harrisová dělá, když se nikdo nedívá: zamilovává se v pozdním věku, stává se nevlastní matkou a stará se o málo známé členy své dlouholeté neformální politické rodiny, která vždycky věděla, že její osobitý styl ji vynese až na vrchol.

Gabrielle Harrisová vyrostla v rodině zvěrolékaře a posledních 25 let působila jako trenérka mořských savců, koní i psů v celé řadě zemí. Přestože strávila mezi zvířaty prakticky celý svůj život, její cesta k pochopení, jak se zvířaty komunikovat a navazovat s nimi vztahy, nebyla vůbec jednoduchá. V knize Dotknout se zvířecí duše shrnula své zkušenosti, dojmy a především konkrétní zážitky se zvířaty, které formovaly její přístup k trénování a výcviku. Podle Gabby musíme zvířata poznávat nejen hlavou, ale i srdcem. Nestačí je jen pozorovat, učit se a mít otevřenou mysl - musíme také přestat být zahledění sami do sebe a při komunikaci musíme zvířatům poskytnout jasnou a upřímnou zpětnou vazbu, která jim umožní ovlivnit směr, kterým se bude ubírat náš vzájemný vztah. Jen tak může být naše soužití smysluplné a oboustranně naplňující. O tom, jak toho dosáhnout, jakých chyb se vyvarovat a jak se naladit na tu správnou vlnu porozumění, se dočtete v její knize.

Bývalý diplomat a autor mnoha odborných publikací o mezinárodních vztazích a politice Robert D. Blackwill a bývalá poradkyně Hillary Clintonové pro záležitosti ekonomické zahraniční politiky Jennifer M. Harrisová ve své knize ukazují, že Spojené státy, tato nejsilnější ekonomika světa, při dosahování svých geopolitických cílů postupně začaly stále více opomíjet ekonomické nástroje a začaly se více uchylovat k užití ozbrojené síly a dalších prostředků. Dokládají, proč geoekonomika přestala být po druhé světové válce ve Spojených státech jedním z významných prvků zahraniční politiky a jaké důsledky to v situaci, kdy se na mezinárodní politické scéně vynořují nové mocnosti, jež pro dosahování cílů zahraniční politiky efektivně využívají široké spektrum ekonomických nástrojů, může v globalizovaném světě mít. Autoři ve své knize analyzují potenciál a reálné možnosti využívání ekonomických nástrojů k naplňování geopolitických cílů a přinášejí mnoho příkladů jejich úspěšného užití vládami zemí, jako jsou Čína, Indie, Rusko a další. Tato erudovaně, čtivě a srozumitelně napsaná publikace přináší cenné, do širokého sociálního kontextu zasazené poznatky z oblasti politické ekonomie, mezinárodních vztahů a geopolitiky.

A different look at heterosexuality in the twenty-first century A straight white girl can kiss a girl, like it, and still call herself straight—her boyfriend may even encourage her. But can straight white guys experience the same easy sexual fluidity, or would kissing a guy just mean that they are really gay? Not Gay thrusts deep into a world where straight guy-on-guy action is not a myth but a reality: there's fraternity and military hazing rituals, where new recruits are made to grab each other's penises and stick fingers up their fellow members' anuses; online personal ads, where straight men seek other straight men to masturbate with; and, last but not least, the long and clandestine history of straight men frequenting public restrooms for sexual encounters with other men. For Jane Ward, these sexual practices reveal a unique social space where straight white men can—and do—have sex with other straight white men; in fact, she argues, to do so reaffirms rather than challenges their gender and racial identity. Ward illustrates that sex between straight white men allows them to leverage whiteness and masculinity to authenticate their heterosexuality in the context of sex with men.

The way in which securities are traded is very different from the idealized picture of a frictionless and self-equilibrating market offered by the typical finance textbook. In Market Liquidity, Thierry Foucault, Marco Pagano, and Ailsa Röell offer a more accurate take on the liquidity of securities markets, its determinants, and its effects. They start from the assumption that not everyone is present at all times simultaneously on the market, and that even the limited number of participants who are have quite diverse information about the security''s fundamentals. As a result, the order flow is a complex mix of information and noise, and a consensus price only emerges gradually over time as the trading process evolves and the participants interpret the actions of other traders. Thus, a security''s actual transaction price may deviate from its fundamental value, as it would be assessed by a fully informed set of investors. Market Liquidity takes these deviations seriously, and explains why and how they emerge in the trading process and are eventually eliminated. Drawing on the analytical tools and empirical methods from a well-defined field within financial economics--market microstructure--the authors confront many striking phenomena in securities markets, from liquidity changes over time to temporary ...
