The great work of today’s generations is nothing short of saving the earth. We know enough, are capable enough. The question is: do we care enough? Will we work hard enough? Do we even recognize when we have enough?Now noted environmentalist Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin challenges us to develop the individual and collective will needed to create change and offers spiritual and practical guidance to invigorate that effort.To Forever Inhabit This Earth is a powerful must-read for anybody interested in the intersection of environmentalism and spirituality.Cardin implores us to envision the world, not as a commodity but as a fragile, improbable, extraordinary gift whose well-being and future now depend on us, and using meticulously researched Jewish texts and the teachings of other faith traditions, she makes the case that environmental sustainability is a fundamental religious principle—and something we can address, if we have the will to do so."Despite the harms we as humanity have caused, if we dare to act boldly (which we can), based on the best guidance of our advisors (which we have), and recruit willing hearts (which we possess), we can heal the wounds, remedy our mistakes, and remake a safe and vibrant world for ourselves and ...

Zlý, ještě horší a ošklivý Při svém pátrání po uprchlém Bohu, kterého hodlá hnát k odpovědnosti, narazil Jesse Custer na spoustu divných existencí - a není žádným překvapením, že mnohé z nich mají svůj vlastní podivuhodný příběh. Pradávná historie je sbírkou několika takových příběhů, které původně vyšly jako samostatné speciály. V hlavních rolích tu vystupují některé z nejbarvitějších vedlejších postav série Kazatel: "Svatý zabiják" nám vyjeví kompletní proces vzniku Custerovy nadpřirozené nemesis, jenž se odehrál jak na zamrzlých pláních Divokého západu, tak v těch nejžhavějších zákoutích samotného pekla; "Hoši z Jihu" se ohlédnou za idyličtějšími časy čtyřiadvacetikarátových buranů Jodyho a T. C., kteří za radostné pomocí celého arzenálu klišé akčních filmů čirou náhodou překazí plány mezinárodních teroristů; v "Příběhu-Vy-Víte-Koho" pro změnu zavítáme do světa frustrujícího dospívání na maloměstě, abychom byli svědky tragické frašky, která dala světu Prdelmana; a v Cassidyho flashbacku "Krev a whisky" odkryjeme něco z temné minulosti tohoto irského upíra spojené s neworleánským společenstvím Les Enfants Du Sang. Pradávná historie vychází jako závěrečná kniha preacherovské série, ságy, která patří k nejoceňovanějším titulům devadesátých let.

Někdy i bůh hromu narazí na protivníky, na které prostě nestačí. Třeba na nemrtvé vikingy, kteří po tisíci letech putování přistáli na Manhattanu a začali s drancováním. Aby měl šanci, musí dát dohromady tým krví spojených bojovníků z různých historických epoch. Stačí ale vikingská bojovnice, fanatický křižák a nacistický pilot k zastavení nemrtvé hrozby? I když vychází komiks právě ve chvíli, kdy se chystá do kin filmový Thor, tak Vikingové nejsou adaptace filmu. Tenhle Thor vyšel v rámci dospělejší řady MAX (ze které momentálně vychází kupříkladu Punisher), napsal ho jeden z nejosobitějších komiksových tvůrců Garth Ennis (Preacher, Punisher) a brilantní kresbou příběh doplnil slavný Glenn Fabry (obálky k Preacherovi, Nikdykde).
