Najděte cestu k přirozenému a zdravému spánkuZhruba třetinu života strávíme v posteli, pro miliony z nás ale nejde o čas, který bychom prospali. Snažíme se spát osm hodin denně, ale stres, všudypřítomná elektronická zařízení nebo káva vypitá ve čtyři odpoledne se postarají o to, že jen ležíme a nemůžeme usnout.Jak nám vysvětlí spánkový terapeut Merijn van de Laar, který má s nespavostí sám bohaté zkušenosti, nejsme první ani poslední. Před stovkami tisíc let, kdy v noci byli pro člověka největší hrozbou šavlozubí tygři, bylo noční bdění klíčové pro přežití kmene. Výzkum ukazuje, že určité spánkové vzorce znamenaly pro naše předky dokonce evoluční výhodu. Můžeme se jimi nechat inspirovat, abychom i my spali zdravěji. Od pravěkých lidí se možná odlišujeme spoustou moderních vymožeností, když ale pochopíme, jak se vyvíjel náš mozek, dokážeme snáze nabrat kurz k lépe prospané noci.Merijn van de Laar čerpá z poznatků moderní vědy o spánku, z archeologických výzkumů i ze studií přírodních národů, jejichž životní podmínky jsou podobné těm, jaké zažívali naši předkové. Jeho kniha Pravda o spánku nám odpoví na nejrůznější otázky a zároveň zbourá některé pevně zakořeněné mýty. Výsledkem je překvapivý a dobře srozumitelný návod k tomu, jak nově můžeme uvažovat o spánku – s ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Ľudský spánok sa od paleolitu, keď človek ešte spával v jaskyni, zmenil len málo. Vtedy najväčšiu hrozbu v noci predstavoval šabľozubý tiger, zatiaľ čo dnes nám spánok narúšajú najmä sociálne siete a stres.Holandský spánkový terapeut a vedec Merijn van de Laar vo svojej knihe poukazuje na to, že ani naši predkovia nemali dokonalý spánok, a radí, ako sa prirodzenými prostriedkami oslobodiť od nespavosti.Ak vás trápi spánok, táto kniha vás upokojí a uistí, že cesta k riešeniu môže byť jednoduchšia a kratšia, než by ste čakali. Oslobodíte sa od rozšírených predstáv o dokonalom spánku – napríklad, že musíte spať neprerušovane osem hodín. Naučíte sa viesť spánkový denník, vďaka ktorému zistíte množstvo dôležitých informácií. Zistíte optimálnu dĺžku spánku pre seba a ako si zachovať pokoj, ak sa vám nedarí zaspať. Zmiernite stres a budete rešpektovať svoj biorytmus. Osvojíte si jednoduché rituály dobrého spánku a budete spať spôsobom, ktorý je pre vás prirodzený.

As a young woman growing up in a small, religious community, Regan Penaluna daydreamed about the big questions: Who are we and what is this strange world we find ourselves in? In college she discovered philosophy and fell in love with its rationality, its abstractions, its beauty.What Penaluna didn''t realize was that philosophy - at least the canon that''s taught in Western universities, as well as the culture that surrounds it - would slowly grind her down through its devaluation of women and their minds. Women were nowhere in her curriculum, and feminist philosophy was dismissed as marginal, unserious.Until Penaluna came across the work of a seventeenth-century woman named Damaris Cudworth Masham. Reading Masham''s work was like reaching through time: writing three hundred years ago, Masham was speaking directly to her about knowledge and God, but also the condition of women. Her work eventually led Penaluna to other remarkable women philosophers of the era: Mary Astell, Catharine Cockburn and Mary Wollstonecraft.Together these women rekindled Penaluna''s love of philosophy and taught her how to live a truly philosophical life.

On the urgent need to promote critical reading skills amidst rising authoritarianism Children's author Philip Pullman famously said that "There are some themes, some subjects, too large for adult fiction; they can only be dealt with adequately in a children's book." While the recent rise of fascist ideology in the United States might seem a subject too large and adult to be dealt with in literature for children or teens, Annette Wannamaker proposes in How to Read Like an Anti-Fascist that there are books aimed at future generations which critique and counter fascist propaganda and mythmaking. Works of literature can reflect fascist ideology and promote it as well, but Wannamaker proposes that some books also offer tools for understanding it. Books written for beginners can introduce readers to complex concepts, break big ideas into manageable parts, and teach readers how to read the world outside of the book. Antifascist books are ones that analyze fascistic rhetoric and storytelling, educate about America's long history of authoritarianism, and highlight various facets of fascism such as scapegoating others and reasserting patriarchal power.

"An insightful and interesting book packed with leadership ideas" - Stuart LancasterConsider the question - why does anyone buy sports books, or books about or by sports stars? For sure there is a souvenir and nostalgia element. But people also buy sports books to see if our heroes give any clues to the magic ingredient that has made them so successful. We read them to see what we can learn about their lives, particularly in the hard times, and how they triumphed over adversity. In the first in the new series from Aurum Sports sports psychologist Damian Hughes, who has worked with Manchester United, lifts the lid on what made Sir Alex Ferguson the most successful football manager Great Britain has ever produced.

When life’s turned you into a big hot mess, there’s still love, laughs, and snark to be had…Dr. Lizzie Wells, professor of British literature and bestselling author, is not okay. She wasn’t consulted when her beloved husband died unexpectedly, so she’s going to grieve however she damned well chooses. Keeping a lock of his hair in a choker around her neck and donning widow’s weeds. You bet. Notifying colleagues and students that she will only accept paper letters instead of email. Why not? Very nearly kissing her late husband’s best friend, Henry. Unfortunately, er…yes. So when she’s offered a trip to London, Lizzie grabs it. What better place to escape, heal, and be reborn than in the same city where Queen Victoria famously mourned her beloved Prince Albert? Encouraged by new friends to be bold, have champagne and oysters before noon, and celebrate the beauty and the messiness of life, Lizzie begins to embrace it all. Still, there’s that almost kiss with Henry she just can’t forget. Their cross-Atlantic ‘check-ins’ turn into FaceTime hangouts and their friendship evolves into something more. When Henry shows up in London, Lizzie fears ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A unique insight into one of science’s greatest minds of the last half-century. Undoubtedly the most famous name in science and the very face of physics over the last half-century, Stephen Hawking was remarkable for many reasons. Not least because he continued to strive to achieve so much while being hindered by debilitating illness. He demonstrated categorically that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything, no matter your physical state. Of course, it helps if you happen to possess a mind such as he did. His work on black holes put him on the map, and he became globally famous for his A Brief History of Time, communicating the most difficult scientific ideas at a period when he’d lost the ability to speak.

Every day we hear about a new ingredient that is good or bad, a new diet that promises everything. But the truth is that none of those labels matter. The secret to becoming healthier, losing weight, living a pain-free and energetic life and healing the planet has nothing to do with counting calories, reducing portion sizes or feeling deprived - the key is re-learning how to eat like a human.This means finding food that is as nutrient-dense as possible, and preparing that food using methods that release those nutrients and make them safe and bioavailable to our bodies, which is exactly what allowed our ancestors, millions of years ago, to not only live but thrive.

A carriage transporting ten passengers fleeing from Rouen is stopped at a village inn by Prussian soldiers, who decide to detain them until one of their party, the prostitute Boule de Suif, consents to sleep with their officer. When Boule de Suif refuses to do so on account of her principles and patriotic sentiments, the solidarity initially manifested by her fellow travellers becomes increasingly tested as the deadlock continues, and the strained relationship between her and her “respectable” counterparts gradually worsens.A scathing satire of bourgeois prejudice and hypocrisy and a compelling snapshot of France during the 1870 Franco-Prussian War, ‘Boule de Suif’ – here presented with five other major stories by the author of Bel Ami – was declared a masterpiece by Flaubert and is widely considered to be Maupassant’s finest short story.
