In this sparkling romance, two professors with a complicated past get a second chance to prove history won't repeat itself. Assistant professor Clara Fernsby is nothing if not driven. She's wanted to teach history since she was fourteen, and she hasn't let anything stand in her way-not even the love of her life.When Theodore Harrison is brought into her department as a visiting scholar, it's an unexpected blast from Clara's past. She hasn't spoken to Teddy since rejecting him over a phone call ten years ago. Now that he's here, she's reminded of everything her teenager self loved about him.Clara knows there's every chance Theo's not interested. But history's all down to interpretation, and this time around, she's got no intentions of repeating it.

Re-examining history from a female perspective, this book celebrates the numerous important roles women have played in culture and society that are less often told.Packed full of evocative images, this gloriously illustrated book reveals the key events in women''s history - from early matriarchal societies through women''s suffrage, the Suffragette movement, 20th-century feminism and gender politics, to recent movements such as #MeToo and International Women''s Day - and the key role women have had in shaping our past.Learn about the everyday lives of women through the ages as well as the big ?names of women''s history - powerful, inspirational, and trailblazing women such as Cleopatra, Florence Nightingale, Emmeline Pankhurst, Eva Peron, and Rosa Parks - and discover the unsung contributions of lesser-known women who have changed the world, and the "forgotten" events of women''s history.Placing women firmly centre stage, Women - Our History shows women where they have come from, and, in celebrating the achievements of women of the past offers positive role models for women of today

Now available in paperback on the fifth anniversary of its original publication, Our History Is the Future features a new afterword by Nick Estes about the rising indigenous campaigns to protect our environment from extractive industries and to shape new ways of relating to one another and the world.In this award-winning book, Estes traces traditions of Indigenous resistance leading to the present campaigns against fossil fuel pipelines, such as the Dakota Access Pipeline Protests, from the days of the Missouri River trading forts through the Indian Wars, the Pick-Sloan dams, the American Indian Movement, and the campaign for Indigenous rights at the United Nations.In 2016, a small protest encampment at the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota, initially established to block construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, grew to be the largest Indigenous protest movement in the twenty-first century, attracting tens of thousands of Indigenous and non-Native allies from around the world. Its slogan “Mni Wiconi”—Water Is Life—was about more than just a pipeline. Water Protectors knew this battle for Native sovereignty had already been fought many times before, and that, even with the encampment gone, their anti-colonial struggle would continue.While a historian by trade, Estes draws on observations from the encampments and from growing up as a citizen of the Oceti Sakowin (the Nation of the Seven Council Fires) and his own family’s rich history of struggle.

How have our emotions shaped the course of human history? And how have our experience and understanding of emotions evolved with us?We humans like to think of ourselves as rational creatures, who, as a species, have relied on calculation and intellect to survive. But many of the most important moments in our history had little to do with cold, hard facts and a lot to do with feelings. Events ranging from the origins of philosophy to the birth of the world’s major religions, the fall of Rome, the Scientific Revolution, and some of the bloodiest wars that humanity has ever experienced can’t be properly understood without understanding emotions.In A Human History of Emotion, Richard Firth-Godbehere takes readers on a fascinating and wide-ranging tour of the central and often under-appreciated role emotions have played in human societies around the world and throughout history – from Ancient Greece to Gambia, Japan, the Ottoman Empire, Britain, and beyond.Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, art and religious history, A Human History of Emotion vividly illustrates how our understanding and experience of emotions has changed over time, and how our beliefs about feelings – and our feelings themselves – profoundly shaped us and the world we inhabit.

Here is the awkward child who grew up amid material wealth and emotional isolation; the young bride who watched her brilliant, charismatic husband - a confidant to John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson - plunge into the mental illness that would culminate in his suicide. And here is the widow who shook off her grief and insecurity to take on a president and a pressman''s union as she entered the profane boys'' club of the newspaper business.As timely now as ever, Personal History is an exemplary record of our history and of the woman who played such a shaping role within them, discovering her own strength and sense of self as she confronted - and mastered - the personal and professional crises of her fascinating life.

The final stage of Simon Schama''s epic voyage around Britain spans centuries, crosses the breadth of the empire and covers a vast expanse of topics - from the birth of feminism to the fate of freedom.The Fate of the Empire asks crucial questions about the nature of empire, journeying from celebrations of industrial and imperialist power at the Great Exhibition, to the catastrophic Irish potato famine and the Indian Mutiny. Through the military and economic shocks and traumas of our past, Schama asks the question that is still with us - is the immense weight of our history a blessing or a curse, a gift or a millstone around the neck of our future?This third and final volume in the series is a vast compelling history, made more so by the lively storytelling and big bold characters at the heart of the action. But alongside flamboyant heroes, like Nelson and Churchill, Schama recalls unsung heroines and virtually unknown enemies. Alongside the grand ideas, he exposes the grand illusions that cost untold lives.

DVD film McCabe a paní Millerová [1971]. České titulky. Dolby Digital. V zapadlém hornickém městečku se setkávají hazardní hráč McCabe a zkušená bordelmamá Millerová, aby společně rozjeli podnik plný hříchu a příležitostí. Nejvýznamnější americký film od Bonnie a Clyde." Presbyterian Church, malé hornické městečko na americkém severozápadě, je na počátku minulého století dokonalým místem, kde mohou hazardní hráč John Q. McCabe a bordelmamá Constance Millerová provozovat svou živnost. Báječně originální McCabe a paní Millerová, který natočil Robert Altman s Warrenem Beattym a Julií Christie (za svou roli byla v roce 1971 nominována na Cenu Akademie") v hlavních rolích, staví mytologii starého Západu na hlavu. Film se natáčel v překrásné divočině Vancouveru a zachycuje podstatu dávno uplynulých časů v kombinaci s moderní citovostí, kterou Altman vnesl i do ostatních svým mistrovských snímků ze 70 let: MASH a Nashville. Okouzlující výsledek je, jak napsala kritička Pauline Kael, "moderní klasikou."Bonusy:- Komentář režiséra Roberta Altmana a producenta Davida Fostera- Dokument ze zákulisí

Vítejte ve světě pozitivních metod výcviku psů. Kniha je určena všem majitelům psů, kteří hledají nějakou metodu pro nenásilné vedení psa - nebo si některou z nich už dokonce osvojili. Podle Pat B. Millerové má být výsledkem výcviku psa především kvalitní vztah, a ten se může rozvinout jenom mezi šťastným a dobře vychovaným psem a šťastným pánem. K tomu, abychom takový vztah vytvořili, potřebujeme porozumět principům chování a učení u psů a následně musíme umět tyto principy aplikovat v našem výcviku. Je to snazší, než se na první pohled zdá, a odměnou vám bude vyrovnaný a poslušný pes, jehož jste vycvičili bez křiku a nervů. A to za to přece stojí, nebo ne? Pat B. Millerová strávila se psy více než 40 let života. Vycvičila mnoho vlastních psů a také mnoho psů, kteří získali celou řadu cen v soutěžích obedience a rally obedience. Vyjma toho si se svými psy užila spoustu legrace při pasení, dogdancingu a agility. Řadu let působila jako prezidentka největšího amerického sdružení profesionálních trenérů psů Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Její čtyři psi jsou nalezenci těch nejrůznějších plemen a velikostí.

A nejde jenom o psy nalezené, zachráněné, zděděné nebo z útulku - nový start potřebuje i pes, jehož chování nebylo řádně formováno a jeho problémy řešeny, takže z něj místo příjemného společníka vyrostla neřízená střela, která své okolí obtěžuje, děsí, nebo dokonce ohrožuje. V knize se dozvíte vše podstatné o tom, jak v takové situaci postupovat -od analýzy stávajícího chování přes výběr nejvhodnější cesty k nápravě až po rady, čeho se vyvarovat a čeho se držet, abychom vzniku problémového chování u psa předešli.

V dávnom veku hrdinov vypovedali nesmelého gréckeho princa Patrokla za mladícku nerozvážnosť z vlasti do Ftie. Z dediča trónu sa razom stal bezvýznamný dvoran žijúci v tieni kráľa Pelea a jeho výnimočného syna Achilla.Najväčší grécky hrdina Achilles bol pravým opakom Patrokla - silný, krásny, rozumný, odvážny, obratný v boji oplýval všetkým, čo zdobí a ctí muža, a navyše bol synom bohyne. Za normálnych okolností by sa nikdy nestretli, no Achilles sa jedného dňa rozhodne rozprestrieť nad potupeným princom ochranné krídla. Ich váhavý vzťah čoskoro vystrieda vrúcne a nerozlučné priateľstvo. Z chlapcov vyrastú mladí muži, udatný bojovník a nadaný liečiteľ. Ich vzájomná náklonnosť sa aj napriek nevôli Achillovej matky Tetidy, krutej morskej nymfy, ktorá nenávidí smrteľníkov, čoraz väčšmi prehlbuje.Nad šťastím priateľov však visí hrozba neblahej veštby. Keď sa Gréci dozvedia, že spartskú kráľovnú Helenu, najkrajšiu zo smrteľných žien, uniesol trójsky princ Paris, rozhodnú sa spojiť sily a zaútočiť na mocnú Tróju. Aj Achilles sa dá zlákať prísľubom veľkej slávy a vypláva s ostatnými do boja. Nerozhodný Patroklos sa zmieta medzi láskou a strachom, ale nasleduje ho. Netuší, že ďalšie roky, plné strastí a vojenských útrap, podrobia skúške všetko, čo sa obaja naučili a čo im je drahé, a že čoskoro bude musieť prenechať priateľa neodvratnému osudu, aj keď na to nebude pripravený.Spev o Achillovi je živé, dojímavé a nápadité podanie známeho eposu o trójskej vojne. Madeline Millerová nám krásnym lyrickým jazykom spojeným so zmyslom pre dramatickosť rozpráva tragický ľúbostný príbeh odohrávajúci sa na pozadí neľútostného boja medzi bohmi a kráľmi, mierom a vojenským uznaním, medzi nesmrteľnou slávou a prostým ľudským citom.

Rané emocionální zkušenosti zanechávají v těle stopy, které kódujeme jako informace a které v dospělosti ovlivňují náš způsob myšlení, cítění a jednání, ale naše vědomí je odmítá. Právě takto často vzniká bludný kruh násilí. O tom, jak ho prolomit, jak z emocionálního poznání vlastního příběhu proniknout k hlubšímu vědomí, píše Alice Millerová v této knize. V Procitnutí Evy nám vysvětluje příčiny pocitů, jimž často nerozumíme, a ukazuje možnost vyjít z naší nezaviněné nesvéprávnosti - k dobru dnešní i příštích generací.

Most lifestyle books for women are saying one of two things: "Hustle!" or "Slow down!" We are either prodded into endless activity and productivity or told that what we really need is to prioritize rest, relaxation, and simply "being."

God has given you talents and a sphere of influence. Your role is to fill that space, empowered by the Holy Spirit. In this book, Heather presents four boundary lines to help you identify your unique God-given space and shows you how to evaluate your next steps with confident peace so that you can stop feeling exhausted and guilty and start feeling fulfilled.It''s time to replace FOMO, inadequacy, and hustle culture with the satisfaction that comes from owning the space we''ve been assigned.

Set in Boston at the end of the First World War, New York Times best-selling author Dennis Lehane's long-awaited eighth novel unflinchingly captures the political and social unrest of a nation caught at the crossroads between past and future.The Given Day tells the story of two families—one black, one white—swept up in a maelstrom of revolutionaries and anarchists, immigrants and ward bosses, Brahmins and ordinary citizens, all engaged in a battle for survival and power.Beat cop Danny Coughlin, the son of one of the city's most beloved and powerful police captains, joins a burgeoning union movement and the hunt for violent radicals.Luther Laurence, on the run after a deadly confrontation with a crime boss in Tulsa, works for the Coughlin family and tries desperately to find his way home to his pregnant wife.Here, too, are some of the most influential figures of the era—Babe Ruth; Eugene O'Neill; leftist activist Jack Reed; NAACP founder W. E. B. DuBois; Mitchell Palmer, Woodrow Wilson's ruthless Red-chasing attorney general; cunning Massachusetts governor Calvin Coolidge; and an ambitious young Department of Justice lawyer named John Hoover.Coursing through some of the pivotal events of the time—including the Spanish Influenza pandemic—and culminating in the Boston Police Strike of 1919, The Given Day explores the crippling violence and irrepressible exuberance of a country at war with, and in the thrall of, itself. As Danny, Luther, and those around them struggle to define themselves in increasingly turbulent times, they gradually find family in one another and, together, ride a rising storm of hardship, deprivation, and hope that will change all their lives.

Art history encompasses the study of the history and development of painting, sculpture and the other visual arts. In this Very Short Introduction, Dana Arnold presents an introduction to the issues, debates, and artefacts that make up art history. Beginning with a consideration of what art history is, she explains what makes the subject distinctive from other fields of study, and also explores the emergence of social histories of art (such as Feminist Art History and Queer Art History). Using a wide range of images, she goes on to explore key aspects of the discipline including how we write, present, read, and look at art, and the impact this has on our understanding of art history. This second edition includes a new chapter on global art histories, considering how the traditional emphasis on periods and styles in art originated in western art and can obscure other critical approaches and artwork from non-western cultures. Arnold also discusses the relationship between art and history, and the ways in which art can tell a different history from the one narrated by texts. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
