A Compendium of Contrarians - Robert Orr-Ewing
What do Winston Churchill, Rosa Parks, Emile Zola, Billy Beane and Christopher Hitchens have in common? They are all Contrarians. This book is about the people who do not quietly slip into the shadows, who revel in playing devil’s advocate, who zig when everyone else zags and who dare ask the question: ‘Yes, but just supposing that everyone else is wrong?’They are not always successful all of the time. In fact some are spectacularly unsuccessful on occasions. They may not be popular or easy to live with, but are always interesting and usually inspiring. Some make a point of arguing the opposite point of view on every occasion; some are mainstream on everything, but resolute in opposing the mainstream on one particular issue. For some, the issue which they contest so vigorously becomes mainstream through their exertions.In Compendium of Contrarians, Robert Orr-Ewing shows how he has been inspired by these amusing, challenging, interesting and unusual characters.

Nora Webster - Colm Tóibín
* * * Shortlisted for the 2014 Costa Novel Awards and the 2015 Folio Prize * * * Nora Webster is the heartbreaking new novel from one of the greatest novelists writing today.It is the late 1960s in Ireland. Nora Webster is living in a small town, looking after her four children, trying to rebuild her life after the death of her husband. She is fiercely intelligent, at times difficult and impatient, at times kind, but she is trapped by her circumstances, and waiting for any chance which will lift her beyond them. Slowly, through the gift of music and the power of friendship, she finds a glimmer of hope and a way of starting again. As the dynamic of the family changes, she seems both fiercely self-possessed but also a figure of great moral ambiguity, making her one of the most memorable heroines in contemporary fiction. The portrait that is painted in the years that follow is harrowing, piercingly insightful, always tender and deeply true. Colm TóibÃn''s Nora is a character as resonant as Anna Karenina or Madame Bovary and Nora Webster is a novel that illuminates our own lives in a way that is rare in literature. Its ...

The Duchess of Malfi and Other Plays - John Webster
This volume offers John Webster''s two great Jacobean tragedies, The White Devil and The Duchess of Malfi, together with his brilliant tragicomedy, The Devil''s Law-Case, and the comedy written with William Rowley, A Cure for a Cuckold. Webster is a radically and creatively experimental dramatist. His tragedies deploy shifting dramatic perspectives which counteract and challenge conventional moral judgements, while the predominantly gentler tone of his comedies and tragicomedies responds inventively to contemporary changes in dramatic taste and fashion. All four plays display the provocative intelligence of a profoundly original playwright. Under the General Editorship of Michael Cordner of the University of York, the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation. In addition, there is detailed annotation, a glossary, and a critical introduction which traces Webster''s artistic development, defends him against charges of over-indulgence in violence, and explores his sophisticated staging and scenic forms. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Say What They Can't Unhear - Webster Tamsen
Change isn’t an easy sell. And, in business, pivoting in a new direction requires teams to work together cooperatively. While a half-hearted agreement to adopt a common goal may get you short-term momentum, if you want to initiate lasting change that creates sustained action, you need to give your audience a reason to believe. You need, as the title of this book suggests, to say what they can’t unhear.From renowned strategist, author, and speaker Tamsen Webster comes this compact and actionable guide that will get you thinking differently about where change comes from and how to initiate it. By introducing and exploring nine “persuasion proverbs,†Webster highlights the behavioral, cognitive, and psychological principles that underpin lasting change, and offers a powerful alternative to the standard tactics of influence and persuasion. The outlined concepts are easy to remember, simple to implement, and will give you the tools to transform any audience of lukewarm prospects into passionate believers.If you’re looking to spark change in your audience in a way that has them excited and motivated, that pushes them beyond temporary action, and that makes them feel empowered instead of manipulated, then Say What They Can’t Unhear is the resource you need in ...

Parachute Infantry - David Webster
Paratrooper David Kenyon Webster jumped into the chaos of occupied Europe on D-Day, fighting his way through Holland and finally capturing Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest. He was the only member of Easy Company to write down his experiences as soon as he came home from war.Webster records with visceral and sometimes brutal detail what it is like to take a bullet in the leg, to fight pitched battles capturing enemy towns, and to endure long periods of boredom punctuated by sudden moments of terror. But most of all, Parachute Infantry shows how a group of comrades entered the furnace of war and came out brothers.

The Duchess of Malfi, The White Devil, The Broken Heart and 'Tis Pity She's a Whore - John Webster, John Ford
These four plays, written during the reigns of James I and Charles I, took revenge tragedy in dark and ambiguous new directions. In The Duchess of Malfi and The White Devil, John Webster explores the role of women and issues of power, sex and corruption in the Italian court, creating two unforgettable anti-heroines. In The Broken Heart, John Ford questions the value of emotional repression as his characters attempt to subdue their desires and hatreds in ancient Greece. Finally, Ford''s masterpiece ''Tis Pity She''s a Whore explores the taboo themes of incest and forbidden lust in a daring reworking of Romeo and Juliet.Jane Kingsley-Smith has edited the plays from the earliest quartos and added invaluable editorial material, including explanatory glosses and a new introduction that discusses how the playwrights used the theatre to explore issues around women, sex, power and violence. Together with the Penguin volume of Five Revenge Tragedies, edited by Emma Smith, this is the essential sourcebook for drama in the period.

Discovering the Inner Mother - Bethany Webster
Sure to become a classic on female empowerment, a groundbreaking exploration of the personal, cultural, and global implications of intergenerational trauma created by patriarchy, how it is passed down from mothers to daughters, and how we can break this destructive cycle.Why do women keep themselves small and quiet? Why do they hold back professionally and personally? What fuels the uncertainty and lack of confidence so many women often feel? In this paradigm-shifting book, leading feminist thinker Bethany Webster identifies the source of women’s trauma. She calls it the Mother Wound—the systemic disenfranchisement of women by the patriarchy—and reveals how this cycle is perpetuated by wounded mothers who unconsciously pass on damaging beliefs and behaviors to their daughters.In her workshops, online courses, and talks, Webster has helped countless women re-examine their lives and their relationships with their mothers, giving them the vocabulary to voice their pain, and encouraging them to share their experiences.

Tools and the Organism - Colin Webster
The first book to show how the concept of bodily organs emerged and how ancient tools influenced conceptualizations of human anatomy and its operations.  Medicine is itself a type of technology, involving therapeutic tools and substances, and so one can write the history of medicine as the application of different technologies to the human body. In Tools and the Organism, Colin Webster argues that, throughout antiquity, these tools were crucial to broader theoretical shifts. Notions changed about what type of object a body is, what substances constitute its essential nature, and how its parts interact. By following these changes and taking the question of technology into the heart of Greek and Roman medicine, Webster reveals how the body was first conceptualized as an “organismâ€â€”a functional object whose inner parts were tools, or organa, that each completed certain vital tasks. He also shows how different medical tools created different bodies.  Webster’s approach provides both an overarching survey of the ways that technologies impacted notions of corporeality and corporeal behaviors and, at the same time, stays attentive to the specific material details of ancient tools and how they informed assumptions about somatic structures, substances, and inner processes.

Jak pracovat s krystalem - 50 praktických rituálů a duchovních aktivit pro inspiraci a lepší život - Richard Webster
Lidstvo odedávna fascinovaly krystaly a drahé kameny. Díky své kráse byly nejprve používány k okrasným účelům. Netrvalo však dlouho a lidé objevili jejich skryté schopnosti, v první řadě schopnost zklidnit mysl a obnovit vnitřní rovnováhu. To zákonitě vedlo k jejich používání při věštění a léčení. Jejich využití je však mnohem širší. V knize Jak pracovat s krystalem se seznámíme s padesáti jednoduchými rituály, které nám pomohou nejen posílit naše zdraví nebo sebevědomí, ale také zlepšit vztahy doma či v práci, najít štěstí a dokonce i lásku. A k tomu všemu nám postačí pouze jediný krystal. Naučíme se, jak si vybrat ten pravý, jak o něj správně pečovat a třeba i to, jak jeho prostřednictvím můžeme pomoci někomu blízkému. Richard Webster, znalec lidské duše, pracuje se spolehlivými zdroji podpořenými vlastní dlouholetou praxí. Pokud máte rádi jeho knihy, můžete si být jisti, že vás ani tentokrát nezklame.

Objevování vnitřní matky - Bethany Webster
Mateřské zranění, ať už se projevuje na osobní, kulturní, duchovní či jiné rovině, je soubor zvnitřněných omezujících domněnek a vzorců, jenž nám v dospělosti na mnoha frontách způsobuje komplikace, má vliv na náš sebeobraz i na způsob, jak vnímáme druhé a svůj potenciál. Dcery ovládá neodbytný pocit, že je s nimi něco v nepořádku. Ze strachu z odmítnutí se nevěnují vlastnímu rozvoji, mají slabé hranice a nejasné ponětí o tom, kým jsou. Toto zranění se projevuje ve všech oblastech našich dospělých životů, od manželství přes rodičovství a kariéru až po vztah k tělu. Teprve ustavičná těžko snesitelná bolest, již způsobuje, v nás dokáže vyburcovat potřebnou motivaci a energii, abychom se konečně odhodlaly ke změně a navázaly kontakt se svým vnitřním dítětem a skrze něj s vnitřní matkou. Kniha známé americké terapeutky a spisovatelky Bethany Webster do hloubky rozebírá fenomén mateřského zranění a nabízí účinné a podrobné postupy, jak se z této nezdravé dynamiky trvale vymanit a zlepšit svůj život.

Efekt spásy - Michael Mehta Webster
Ochránce přírody a ekolog Michael Mehta Webster přináší poselství o existenci přirozeného efektu spásy, jímž příroda disponuje a jemuž člověk může v případě nutnosti tu a tam trochu pomoci, a poselství, podle něhož příroda není muzeem výtvarného umění. Taková představa je založena na zjevně mylném předpokladu, že se příroda nemění, pakliže do ní lidé nezasahují. Na základě nesčetných dokladů se můžeme přesvědčit, že takové tvrzení se nezakládá na pravdě. Fosilní záznam dokazuje, že se život po miliardy let neustále vyvíjel a měnil. Ekosystémy se mění i v řádu tisíců let, klima na Zemi se mění neustále, změny se prohlubují a vyhlídky podle většiny odborníků nejsou dobré. Kniha je souborem čtivých kazuistik ohrožených druhů, mezi nimiž nechybí tygr bengálský, losos nerka, vakoplch trpasličí, americké kaštanovníky, koráli na útesech u pobřeží Hondurasu, cichlidy ve Viktoriině jezeře či rostlinná společenstva na ostrově Asciensionu. Vydáme se dokonce na pouť do pleistocénu a zvážíme možnosti vzkříšení dávno vyhynulých druhů: jeskynních medvědů či mamutů srstnatých.

Andělé pro každý účel - Richard Webster
Andělé vám mohou pomoct kdykoli a v čemkoli. Stačí je požádat. Přivolejte si je! Hledáte lásku? Některý z andělů vám rád pomůže. Chcete být úspěšnější? Jistě se najde anděl, který bude vědět, jak na to. Ještě nevíte, co je vaším životním posláním? Některý z andělů vás k němu dovede. Známý autor Richard Webster v této knize představuje seznam andělů, jejichž pomoc vám přijde nejvíce vhod, a popisuje množství konkrétních způsobů, jak si je přivolat. Kniha v podstatě obsahuje návod, jak se s anděly spojit, pokud se potřebujete vypořádat s něčím konkrétním. Kapitoly jsou přehledně sestavené podle témat. Již před dvěma tisíci lety začali náboženští učenci řadit anděly do různých skupin podle toho, jakou dělají práci a jak mají blízko k Bohu. Přestože jsou všichni andělé stvořeni k tomu, aby lidem pomáhali, chránili a milovali je, mají různé výrazné vlastnosti a schopnosti. Seznamte se s nimi a zkoušejte se s nimi spojovat rozmanitými zábavnými a zajímavými způsoby, jež posílí váš duchovní růst.

What brilliant writing' Richard Osman'Sensational' Jenny Colgan'Hilarious' Jon Ronson'Brilliantly funny' Marcus BrigstockIn ALAN PARTRIDGE: NOMAD, Alan dons his boots, windcheater and scarf and embarks on an odyssey through a place he once knew - it's called Britain - intent on completing a journey of immense personal significance.Diarising his ramble in the form of a 'journey journal', Alan details the people and places he encounters, ruminates on matters large and small and, on a final leg fraught with danger, becomes - not a man (because he was one to start off with) - but a better, more inspiring example of a man. This deeply personal book is divided into chapters and has a colour photograph on the front cover. It is deeply personal. Through witty vignettes, heavy essays and nod-inducing pieces of wisdom, Alan shines a light on the nooks of the nation and the crannies of himself, making this a biography that biographs the biographer while also biographing bits of Britain.

The Hobbit Sketchbook - Alan Lee
This richly illustrated book celebrates in words and pictures the beautiful work that award-winning artist Alan Lee produced for J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, and includes dozens of brand-new paintings and pencil drawings exploring the world of Bilbo Baggins. Since The Hobbit was first published in 1937, generations of readers have fallen under its spell. That magic was reignited sixty years later, when Alan Lee was commissioned to produce a special illustrated edition, and his delicate pencil drawings and beautiful watercolour paintings have become for many the definitive vision of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. In this sumptuous, large-format hardback Alan Lee reveals in pictures and in words how he created these images, which would prove so powerful, matching perfectly with Tolkien's own vision, that they would eventually define the look of Peter Jackson's film adaptations and earn Alan a coveted Academy Award. The Hobbit Sketchbook is filled with more than 100 of his sketches and early conceptual pieces that reveal how the project progressed from idea to finished art. It also contains a wealth of brand-new full-colour paintings and sketches drawn specially for this book, which unlock the secrets of how Alan creates his own magic and provide a fascinating insight into ...

On Breathing - Jamieson Webster
A few moments after birth we begin to use our lungs for the first time. From then on, we must continue breathing for as long as we are alive. And although this mostly happens unconsciously, in a society plagued by anxiety, climate change, environmental racism, and illness, there are more and more instances that ''teach us about the privilege that is breathing.'' Why do we so easily forget the air that we breathe in common? What does it mean to breathe when the environment that sustains life now threatens it? And how can life continue to flourish under conditions that are increasingly toxic? To approach these questions, Jamieson Webster draws on psychoanalytic theory and reflects on her own experiences as an asthmatic teenager, a deep-sea diver, a palliative psychologist during covid, a psychoanalyst attentive to the somatic, and a new mother. The result is a compassionate and timely exploration of air and breathing as a way to undo the pervasive myth of the individual by considering our dependence on invisible systems, on one another, and the way we have violently neglected this important aspect of life.

Southern Man - Alan Walden, S.E. Feinberg
“We developed reputations real fast. We treated our entertainers right. We got them paid. Other agents and promoters and managers showed them the money. We got them the money. We brought respect to the African American artist in America. We brought them prestige. We really cared about our artists and those who worked for us, and it was obvious because we fought like hell for them. So when you listen to some of that music today—an Otis Redding record or Percy Sledge or anyone from our shop—you’re not just hearing music but also the sound of iron being hammered and bricks being laid for those—especially African Americans—who are in the business today.” Alan WaldenSouthern Man is the memoir of a life in music during one of the most racially turbulent times in American history.
