This is the incredible untold story of four women who helped win World War II by generating a wave of black propaganda.Betty MacDonald was a 28-year-old reporter from Hawaii. Zuzka Lauwers grew up in a tiny Czechoslovakian village and knew five languages by the time she was 21. Jane Smith-Hutton was the wife of a naval attaché living in Tokyo. Marlene Dietrich, the German-American actress and singer, was one of the biggest stars of the 20th century. These four women, each fascinating in her own right, together contributed to one of the most covert and successful military campaigns in WWII.Members of the Office of Strategic Services, their task was to create a secret brand of propaganda produced with the sole aim to break the morale of Axis soldiers. Working in Europe, across enemy lines in occupied China and in Washington D.C., Betty, Zuzka, Jane and Marlene forged letters and 'official' military orders, wrote and produced entire newspapers, scripted radio broadcasts and songs and even developed rumours for undercover spies and double agents to spread to the enemy. And outside of a small group of spies, no one knew they existed. Until now.

Notes on Being a Man - Scott Galloway
Bestselling author, NYU professor, and cohost of the Pivot podcast, Scott Galloway offers a path forward for men and parents of boys. Boys and men are in crisis. Rarely has a cohort fallen further and faster than young men living in Western democracies. Boys are less likely to graduate from high school or college than girls. One in seven men reports having no friends, and men account for three of every four deaths of despair in America. Even worse, the lack of attention to these problems has created a void filled by voices espousing misogyny, the demonization of others, and a toxic vision of masculinity. But this is not just a male issue: women and children can’t flourish if men aren’t doing well. As we know from spasms of violence, there is nothing more dangerous than a lonely, broke young man. Scott Galloway has been sounding the alarm on this issue for years. In Notes on Being a Man, Galloway explores what it means to be a man in modern America. He promotes the importance of healthy masculinity and mental strength. He shares his own story from boyhood to manhood. He explores his parent’s difficult divorce, working through his anger and depression issues, trying to make money, and raising two boys. He shares the sometimes funny, often painful, lessons he learned along the way. Some of these lessons include: Being a good dad means being good to their mother. Action absorbs anxiety. Find what you’re good at—follow your talent. Get out of the house. Take risk and be willing to feel like an imposter. This is a key to professional success—and masculinity. Acknowledge your blessings—and create opportunities for others. Be of surplus value. Be kind. That’s the secret to success in relationships. With unflinching honesty, Scott Galloway maps out an enriching, inspiring operator’s manual for being a man today.

Svět po Covidu - Od krize k příležitosti - Scott Galloway
Epidemie onemocnění covidem-19 změnila ložnice v kanceláře, postavila mladé proti starým a rozšířila propasti mezi bohatými a chudými, červenými a modrými, „rouškaři“ a „nerouškaři“. Některé firmy – třeba Amazon nebo poskytovatel softwaru pro videokonference Zoom – najednou pod návalem klientské poptávky nevědí, kde jim hlava stojí. Oproti tomu celá průmyslová odvětví, jako gastronomii, cestování, hotelnictví či živou kulturu, zachvátil strach, že jejich segment trhu doslova přes noc odumřel. Pandemie sama o sobě ovšem nepřinesla ani tak změnu, jako spíš urychlila trendy probíhající již před jejím propuknutím. V knize Svět po covidu Scott Galloway ukazuje hranice krizí a příležitostí, které před námi vyvstávají. V pandemií rozbouřeném světě budou nejmocnější technologické monopoly nepochybně prosperovat. Jiné segmenty, jako například vyšší vzdělávání, budou muset přijít se změnou hodnotové nabídky, když ta stávající v situaci minimálního osobního kontaktu přestává dávat smysl. Galloway ve své knize dávkuje stejnou měrou optimismus i pesimismus, opepřený svým pověstným humorem, suverénním stylem, zkušenostmi z byznysu a názory ostrými jako břitva.

Lives of Girls and Women - Alice Munroová
''Superb'' Independent''Exact and unflinching'' GuardianCatching frogs, grazing knees, singing songs to save England from Hitler - that was childhood for Del Jordan, and now she''s impatient for more.More than she can find in the encyclopaedias sold by her mother, or in the half-understood innuendos dispensed by best friend Naomi, or in the whispers of boys during Friday night dances.Just like the girls in the movies, she wants to get started on real life.In her only novel, Alice Munro turns her eye to the frustrations, embarrassments, glee and bewilderment of adolescence, and to the brushes with sex, death, violence and birth that shape the lives of girls and women.''In Munro''s work, nothing can be predicted. Emotions erupt. Preconceptions crumble. Surprises proliferate'' Margaret Atwoo

Náš diskurs je neohrabaný, mladým lidem se nedaří vytvářet vztahy a naši nejchytřejší spoluobčané baží po vlastní slávě bez ohledu na zájmy celé společnosti. Naše instituce upadají a pojivová tkáň společnosti se skoro nenapravitelně trhá.

Amber’s Way is the story of a mother and daughter’s journey through an emotionally charged landscape. At the heart of the story is the unwavering bond between Jessica and her courageous daughter, Amber. Jessica’s storybook romance turns to tragedy when she is widowed shortly before Amber’s birth. Despite her grief, she makes a promise that her daughter will live a happy life. But her pledge is tested when Amber is diagnosed with cancer after her fourth birthday. Just as she fought off the monsters lurking under her bed, Amber’s warrior spirit prevails against the monster that has invaded her body. And after months of harrowing treatments, when it seemed there was no end in sight, Amber’s doctor utters the magical word—remission. Eight years later, Amber is on the verge of adolescence. In another twist of fate, they are thrust back into the nightmare when her cancer returns. Amber responds by showing the same tenacity she had when she was small and vows to live her life to the fullest. To celebrate her decision, they take up residence in the historic town of Placerville, California, at the foot of the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is here that Amber makes an unusual friendship with an orphaned deer she names Jane Doe. She also meets Nathan, a cute musician. Will she experience her first kiss without the shadow that has darkened most of her life? Whatever happens, Amber is determined to live her life her way. Author Gloria Galloway is a cancer survivor and is committed to bringing awareness and help to find a cure for neuroblastoma, an insidious disease which has impacted families around the world. To further that cause, a percentage of the proceeds from Amber’s Way will be donated to the Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation, Bloomingdale, Illinois.

Raising Girls in the 21st Century - Steve Biddulph
Steve Biddulph’s Raising Boys was a global phenomenon. The first book in a generation to look at boys’ specific needs, parents loved its clarity and warm insights into their sons’ inner world. But today, things have changed. It’s girls that are in trouble.There has been a sudden and universal deterioration in girls’ mental health, starting in primary school and devastating the teen years.Raising Girls in the 21st Century is both a guidebook and a call-to-arms for parents. The five key stages of girlhood are laid out so that you know exactly what matters at which age, and how to build strength and connectedness into your daughter from infancy onwards.Raising Girls in the 21st Century is both fierce and tender in its mission to help girls more at every age. It’s a book for parents who love their daughters deeply, whether they are newborns, teenagers, young women – or anywhere in between.Feeling secure, becoming an explorer, getting along with others, finding her soul, and becoming a woman – at last, there is a clear map of girls’ minds that accepts no limitations, narrow roles or selling-out of your daughter’s potential or uniqueness.All the hazards are signposted – bullying, eating disorders, body image and depression, social media harms and helps – as are concrete and simple measures for both mums and dads to help prevent their daughters from becoming victims. Parenthood is restored to an exciting journey, not one worry after another, as it’s so often portrayed.Steve talks to the world’s leading voices on girls’ needs and makes their ideas clear and simple, adding his own humour and experience through stories that you will never forget. Even the illustrations, by Kimio Kubo, provide unique and moving glimpses into the inner lives of girls.Along with his fellow psychologists worldwide, Steve is angry at the exploitation and harm being done to girls today. With Raising Girls in the 21st Century he strives to spark a movement to end the trashing of girlhood; equipping parents to deal with the modern world, and getting the media off the backs of our daughters.Raising Girls in the 21st Century is powerful, practical and positive.

Home for Wayward Girls - Marcia Bradley
Growing up in the 1990s, a young girl escapes her abusive parents–and the “ranch” they ran for “bad” girls—and becomes an advocate for teen runaways in this harrowing and heartfelt novel for fans of Joanna Goodman and Lisa Wingate.While other adolescent girls are listening to grunge rock or swooning over boy bands and movie stars, Loretta knows little of life beyond the Home for Wayward Girls, the secluded ranch where her parents run a program designed to “correct” teen girls’ “bad behavior.” Some new residents arrive with their moms and dads, while other are accompanied by transporters—people paid to forcibly deliver these “problem” teens—girls caught swearing, smoking, drinking, or kissing. Many are failed runaways desperate to leave their controlling and sometimes brutal homes. Few have any idea of the suffering that lies ahead.Loretta witnesses firsthand how the adults use abusive discipline to crush these young women’s spirits and break their wills. She understands these girls’ pain and shares it. Since childhood she’s been afraid of her father, and avoids him by spending time with the residents, secretly teaching them the survival skills they’ll need in case they manage to escape. Until the day a horrifying act of violence forces her to make her own terrible choice. Terrified and with no other option, Loretta flees the ranch and hitchhikes across the country, ending up in New York. Eventually finding safety and a sympathetic community, Loretta dedicates herself to working with lost, vulnerable, and defenseless teens, determined to prevent the same thing from happening to other girls like her.
