Americká autorka Elizabeth Kolbertová se rozhodla zasadit až detektivně pojatý příběh šestého vymírání, které probíhá přímo před našima očima, do kontextu katastrofických změn, jimiž procházela naše planeta ve vzdálené minulosti a které byly tak bolestné, že prudce snížily diverzitu života. Spletitou a fascinující historii jejich objevování objasňuje na pozadí sporů velkých přírodovědců, kteří položili základy vědních oborů, z nichž vycházela evoluční teorie. Neméně důležitou roli zde však mají i nejnovější vědecké poznatky z astronomie, geologie, biologie a genetiky. Na osudech řady živočišných druhů - od dinosaurů a amonitů přes megafaunu z poslední doby ledové až po druhy vymřelé zcela nedávno - sleduje obecné vzorce masových vymírání i to, v čem se navzájem odlišují a co je specifikem dnešního ohrožení biodiverzity. Převážná část knihy však popisuje, k čemu dochází v přítomnosti - ve zbytcích amazonského deštného prales, na rychle se oteplujících svazích And, na vnějších okrajích Velkého bariérového útesu i v bezprostředním okolí každého z nás. V této souvislosti můžeme lépe porozumět důsledkům změny složení atmosféry, okyselování oceánů nebo šíření invazivních druhů a fenoménům geologického období, pro něž se ujímá název antropocén. Čtenář nutně dospívá k přesvědčení, že romantická představa člověka, který v minulosti žil v souladu s přírodou, je mýtem. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

#1 New York Times BestsellerThe fiery U.S. Senator from Massachusetts and bestselling author offers a passionate, inspiring book about why our middle class is under siege and how we can win the fight to save itWith a New AfterwordSenator Elizabeth Warren has long been an outspoken champion of America’s middle class, and by the time the people of Massachusetts elected her in 2012, she had become one of the country’s leading progressive voices. Now, at a perilous moment for our nation, she has written a book that is at once an illuminating account of how we built the strongest middle class in history, a scathing indictment of those who have spent the past thirty-five years undermining working families, and a rousing call to action.Warren grew up in Oklahoma, and she’s never forgotten how difficult it was for her mother and father to hold on at the ragged edge of the middle class. An educational system that offered opportunities for all made it possible for her to achieve her dream of going to college, becoming a teacher, and, later, attending law school.

History has pictured Elizabeth I as Gloriana, an icon of strength and power -- and has focused on the early years of her reign. But in 1583, when Elizabeth is fifty, there is relentless plotting among her courtiers -- and still to come is the Spanish Armada and the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. We have not, until now, had the full picture.This gripping and vivid portrait of her life and times -- often told in her own words (and including details such as her love of chess and marzipan) -- reveals a woman who was insecure, human (''You know I am no morning woman''), and unpopular even with the men who fought for her.

''This is Christian hope: the certainty of walking towards something that exists, not something I hope might be there.'' In response to the devastating loss the world faced during the pandemic, Pope Francis was inspired to write a book to help people find hope and meaning. God is joyful, he writes. And God''s compassion is no less than the deepest expression of God''s joy, and the heart of all Christian preaching. The liberating revolution of the Gospel is encapsulated here. We are not supposed to carry burdens heavier than those we already have, but to bear witness to a new, beautiful and surprising horizon: to share a joy that has been prepared for everyone. From the anxieties of the age to the importance of nature, A Gift of Joy and Hope encourages readers to look outside themselves to embrace authentic beauty, change attitudes that exclude others, overcome life''s challenges with courage and, trust that joy and hope are still possible, even in challenging times; for joy has the last word - always.
