John Perry udělal na své pětasedmdesátiny dvě věci. Nejprve navštívil hrob své ženy. Potom vstoupil do armády. Dobrá zpráva je, že se člověk dostal ke hvězdám. Na druhou stranu existuje jen málo planet vhodných k životu – a mnoho cizích ras o ně s námi bojuje. Takže lidstvo válčí. Daleko od Země již desetiletí zuří brutální, krvavé a neúprosné boje. Samotná Země je v bezpečí. Většina jejích zdrojů je v rukách Koloniálních obranných sil, a každý ví, že jakmile nastane čas odejít na odpočinek, může se přidat. KOS nestojí o mladé lidi, chce lidi, kteří mají desetiletí zkušeností a dovedností. Jakmile opustíte Zemi, již nikdy se nevrátíte. Dva roky si odsloužíte v bojích, a pokud přežijete, můžete se usadit na jedné z těžce získaných planet. John Perry se chápe této příležitosti. Myslí si, že ví, co ho očekává. Ale opravdový boj, světelné roky od domova, je daleko těžší, než si dokáže představit, a co se z něho stane, je ještě mnohem neskutečnější.

The Upside of Down is a powerful true story of resilience, as John Ulsh recounts his journey from a catastrophic accident and a near-hopeless prognosis to overcoming immense physical and emotional challenges—offering readers an inspiring roadmap to rebuilding their lives, embracing adversity, and reclaiming their personal power.One December afternoon, John Ulsh and his family were laughing and looking forward to picking out the perfect Christmas tree. Then—impact. Metal twisted, glass shattered, and life as he knew it was torn apart. The next thing John remembers is waking up in a hospital bed from a coma. John and his family were hit head-on in a collision with a combined impact of 125 mph. Given less than a 3 percent chance of survival, he spent weeks in a coma, months in hospitals and rehabs, and years in recovery. With his body shattered, he endured more than forty-five surgeries, relentless pain, and a long road to rebuilding both his body and mind—refusing to let tragedy define him. The Upside of Down is more than a story of survival—it’s a roadmap for resilience. Through raw storytelling and actionable strategies, John shares the principles that helped him move beyond survival and rebuild his life. Readers will learn how to: - Understand the real source of your struggles—because the surface problem is rarely the true obstacle. - Create a written plan—a roadmap that keeps you moving forward even when motivation fades. - Take the first step—because change doesn’t happen until you do something about it. - Fall in love with the process—because real growth isn’t just about reaching the goal; it’s about who you become along the way. - Turn setbacks into stepping stones—by reframing challenges as opportunities for growth. - Build unshakable consistency—because success isn’t about motivation; it’s about showing up every day. - Surround themselves with the right people—because no one overcomes adversity alone. - Shift from external validation to personal fulfillment—because true success is measured by inner growth, not outside approval. This book will challenge you to confront what holds you back, inspire you to take action, and remind you that each day is a gift—don’t wait to live it.

On the promontory of Kinnaird Head, on the north-east coast of Scotland, sits a peculiarly designed lighthouse. It is an exception in history - the only lighthouse in the world to be built into a castle. Originally constructed in 1571 by Sir Alexander Fraser, the castle towered over his new town of Fraserburgh with Scotland’s forgotten university built in its shadow. For 200 years this small tower played host to lairds, lords and Jacobites before abandonment in 1750.The castle was saved from ruin in 1787 when the newly formed Northern Lighthouse Board transformed it into their first Scottish lighthouse. Every Stevenson engineer visited and left their mark on the site, while a never-ending watch of keepers kept the light flashing for 200 years.With automation in 1991 there was a second abandonment of the old tower, until it made its latest transition from lighthouse to museum. Since 1995 it has been Scotland’s most visited lighthouse, frozen in time as a monument to the manned lighthouses of old.

In Our Iceberg is Melting a simple fable about penguins illustrates how to conquer change, with profound lessons for working and living in an ever-changing world. This charming story about a penguin colony in Antarctica illustrates key truths about how we deal with the issue of change: handle the challenge well and you can prosper greatly; handle it poorly and you put yourself at risk. The penguins are living happily on their iceberg as they have done for many years. Then one curious penguin discovers a potentially devastating problem threatening their home - and pretty much no one listens to him. The characters in this fable are like people we recognize, even ourselves. Their story is one of resistance to change and heroic action, confusion and insight, seemingly intractable obstacles and the most clever tactics for dealing with those obstacles. It is a story that is occuring in different forms around us today - but the penguins handle change a great deal better than most of us. Based on John Kotter's pioneering work on how to make smart change happen faster and better, the lessons you can learn from this short and easy-to-read book will serve you well in your job, in your family and in your community. And these lessons are becoming ever more important as the world around us changes faster and faster. This edition celebrates ten years since the publication of this classic business fable with new and improved illustrations and a foreword by Spencer Johnson, author of Who Moved My Cheese?

Ten Things I Hate About You meets the charm (and sisterly shenanigans!) of Netflix''s Nobody Wants This in this slow-burn, fake dating rom-com from the author Kate O''Keeffe says "you can get utterly lost in."Savannah is on a mission to reconnect the Prestly sisters the best way she knows how: reliving their carefree childhood summers at the beach. She''s booked the same beach house, convinced her sisters to take the month off, and even made a bucket list to fit in all their favorite coastal fun. It''s going to be perfect . . . or else. (And if planning this trip has anything to do with a certain secret she''s hiding . . . well, let''s not dwell on that.) Sun, sand, and some sisterly bonding--what could possibly go wrong?Enter Bianca, the baby of the family, with a huge announcement: she''s getting married! And her sisters'' reactions are . . . not exactly what she hoped for. But Bianca is on a mission to prove that she''s not the mess they think she is. Her grand plan? To find love for Cora, her perpetually single sister, on the same dating app where she found her fiancé. The stakes? A bet that if Cora can''t find her ''One'' on the app, Bianca will call off her engagement. A challenge Bianca is all too ready to tackle head-on, even if it means a little conniving. Cora''s about to get swept off her feet, whether she likes it or not!Meanwhile, Cora is rolling her eyes so hard they might get stuck. Love is a fairy tale for other people, not her. As she''s filling out her dating profile, she thinks--nope, she knows--it''ll be easy to show her sisters just how absurd this whole love thing is. So what if this Jax guy Cora just matched with is Hemsworth-brother hot? And, if his messages could be believed, maybe even slightly charming? None of this is real, anyway--love just doesn''t come easily Cora. And she''s getting ready to prove it. She''s got this under control.(Spoiler alert: nothing is under control.)What Not to Do on Vacation is a charming and lighthearted rom-com that promises low spice but high laughter. Join our leading ladies as they navigate through beach vibes, dating app drama, fake dating, and a playboy hero with a heart of gold in this modern reimagining of The Taming of the Shrew. A must-read for those who enjoy adorable romance sans the steam, a healthy dose of family drama, and a fair share of humor. So, if you''re ready to dip your toes into this sun-kissed, feel-good read, don''t wait! For fans of Jenny Hale, Emma St. Clair and Melissa Ferguson.

Have you ever relied on the kindness of strangers? What brings people together to find hope and solidarity? What do we owe each other as citizens and comrades?Questions of care, intimacy, education, meaningful work, and social engagement lie at the core of our ability to understand the world and its possibilities for human flourishing. In Lean On Me feminist thinker Lynne Segal goes in search of hope in her own life and in the world around her. She finds it entwined in our intimate commitments to each other and our shared collective endeavours.Segal calls this shared dependence 'radical care'. In recounting from her own life the moments of motherhood, and of being on the front line of second-wave feminism, she draws upon lessons from more than half a century of engagement in left feminist politics, with its underlying commitment to building a more egalitarian and nurturing world. The personal and the political combine in this rallying cry to transform radically how we approach education, motherhood, and our everyday vulnerabilities of disability, ageing, and enhanced needs.Only by confronting head-on these different forms of interdependence and care can we change the way we think about the environment and learn to struggle — together —against impending climate catastrophe.

The last of John Burnside’s three memoirs, I Put a Spell on You is an enthralling ode to love and wonder in all its forms With a new introduction by Seán Hewitt'A master of language' Hilary MantelThe first time he was played ‘I Put a Spell on You’, John Burnside thought he had never heard a more beautiful song – it was an enchantment, a fascination that would turn to obsession. Implicit in the song were all the ambiguities that intrigued him – love, possession, and danger. In this exquisite and haunting book, John Burnside evokes his coming of age from the industrial misery of Cowdenbeath and Corby to the new world of Cambridge, and follows his drifting thoughts and memories along the way: from uncanny encounters with ‘lost girls’ to digressions on voodoo, acid, and insomnia, alongside a cast that includes Kafka, Narcissus, Diane Arbus and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. The last of John Burnside’s three memoirs, I Put a Spell on You is a memoir of romance – of lost love and the love of being lost – darkened by threat, illuminated by glamour.

A lively and imaginative exploration of the career and music of the Rocket ManElton John is not only "still standing," he is a living superlative, the ultimate record-breaking, award-winning survivor of the great era of pop and rock music that he helped to shape during his six decades in the music industry. Yet few of his numerous biographies and song guides take him as a historical subject worthy of scholarly study.In contrast, On Elton John approaches the artist seriously and analytically, while still couched in a highly accessible style. Author Matthew Restall offers a new way to explore Sir Elton''s career and music within the contexts of other artists and of sweeping shifts in popular culture during his lifetime. Each of the ten chapters is anchored to an Elton song, rooted in its pop culture history, and advances a clear argument, pairing him with figures ranging from Bernie (Bernie Taupin, his lyricist) to Bennie (of the Jets), from "frenemy" David Bowie to artists like Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, and Dua Lipa, from Diana (the princess) to Jesus (yes, that one). Restall contends that Sir Elton''s career offers us a novel way to see and understand the last half century of pop music and culture history--whether we call the era that of the album, of rock, of postmodernism, or of something else. The yellow brick road of Sir Elton''s career has been long, winding, and bumpy, but, as Restall argues, his success has come not just despite but because of those challenges. The artist''s transformations from Reg to Elton to Sir Elton to Uncle Elton, from ugly duckling to bedazzled swan, from the world''s biggest rock star to creator of the world''s largest AIDS fundraising organization, from tabloid punching bag to pop royalty, have all served as survival strategies that illuminate the era he has thereby navigated.A must-have for fans, On Elton John will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in music history, popular culture, and the social issues of our era.
