From the bestselling author of The Tao of Pooh, a uniquely authentic translation of the enduring Tao Te Ching based on the meanings of the ancient Chinese characters in use when the Taoist classic was written From Benjamin Hoff, the author of The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet, which have sold millions of copies, comes a new translation of the Tao Te Ching. The original author (or authors, as Hoff makes the provocative claim that there may have been more than one) streamlined the folk religion of China down to its foundation and rebuilt it as a man-in-nature philosophy, incorporating his advanced spiritual, philosophical, social, and political ideas. Ever since its creation, the Tao Te Ching has stood alone among the world's writings. There was nothing like it before it appeared, and there is still nothing like it now. Unlike a good deal of Chinese writing, old and new, the Tao Te Ching makes no reference to specific individuals or events, whether of the then-past or then-present. It is not historical, nor classical; its world is the world of now. Laboring over the ancient text for seven years, Hoff tackled this project by following the same principles he learned while employed by a master restorer of valuable but damaged antique objects: Thoroughly research the history of the object; remove all misguided, historically incorrect alterations and repairs; patch and fill where necessary; match the new work to the old so seamlessly that no one will detect a difference in treatment; honor the materials and its design; and honor the tradition that has formed around the object over the years. This unique interpretation of the Tao Te Ching shows what is possible when a translator truly partners themselves with someone of another time, another place, and another language.

Taking the Risk is Hilary Bradt''s engaging, insightful, amusing and sometimes alarming memoir about serendipitous adventures in travel and publishing. A travel industry trailblazer who co-founded Bradt Guides, Hilary looks back on 50 years of escapades, surprises, mishaps, disasters. and success. From her first solo trip aged three (on a British beach), she revisits six decades of hitch-hiking, feeding the travel habit by working abroad, and starting a successful travel-publishing company where knowing nothing proved a surprising asset. Barely into her twenties, Hilary Bradt thumbed lifts around the Middle East for three months before spending four years working and travelling in the US. Between 1973 and 1976 Hilary explored, and worked in, South America and Africa with her then husband George, often journeying through literally uncharted territory in their quest for new hiking routes. The discovery of an ancient trail to Machu Picchu unexpectedly inspired their first guidebook. From 1977 the pair wrote several backpacking guides, and set up Bradt Guides. This was just as well, because Hilary''s career in occupational therapy ended when potential employers noticed that time taken off for travel exceeded periods of employment. During the 1980s, Bradt Guides grew and became successful - but that didn''t stop Hilary travelling, including as a tour leader. Join Hilary as she relives the rigours of travel before the days of the internet or mobile phones, including smuggling her husband across an international border and frequently getting arrested despite efforts to be responsible tourists. Learn how Hilary''s lack of experience made the early days of publishing quite unlike those of any other successful publisher. Laugh (or cry) at Hilary''s ability to court media disasters while seeking the limelight, including waving around condoms on BBC TV. Taking the Risk comprises the collected stories of an inveterate, intrepid traveller whose joyous exploration of the world has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people - anyone who has ever owned a Bradt Guide. A unique book from a unique individual, it will delight anyone who has ever travelled or ever wondered what goes into making the books we read.

A new kind of manifesto for the working woman, with practical guidance on building wealth as well as inspiration for harnessing the freedom and power that comes from a breadwinning mindset.Women are now the main breadwinner in one-in-four households in the UK. Yet the majority of women still aren''t being brought up to think like breadwinners. In fact, they''re actively discouraged – by institutional bias and subconscious beliefs – from building their own wealth, pursuing their full earning potential, and providing for themselves and others financially. The result is that women earn less, owe more, and have significantly less money saved and invested for the future than men do. And if women do end up as the main breadwinner, they''ve been conditioned to feel reluctant and unprepared to manage the role.In Think Like a Breadwinner, financial expert Jennifer Barrett reframes what it really means to be a breadwinner by dismantling the narrative that women don''t – and shouldn''t – take full financial responsibility to create the lives they want. Featuring a wide variety of case studies from women at all stages of their careers and financial lives, Barrett shares the secrets of women who already think like breadwinners. Barrett reveals not only the importance of women building their own wealth, but also the freedom and power that comes with it.''Barrett’s manifesto is a must read for any woman at any stage of her career.'' - Eve Rodsky, author of Fair Play

''Highly recommend - practical and full of human wisdom'' FINANCIAL TIMES''Brimming with ideas to transform the future'' KATE RAWORTH, author of DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS''An act of radical hope, radical listening and radical humility . . . I loved it'' RORY STEWARTWork, for decades, has been debated and discussed as a narrow economic category. Instead, Hilary Cottam identifies work as a cultural force at the heart of good lives, strong communities and a sense of a shared national destiny. Crucially, in these dramatic times, she shows how we can shape this force to meet technological change, our ecological crisis and the challenges of the world''s deep injustices. We can create a work revolution. Ambitious but rooted in the ideas of everyday experts - real workers from all walks of life - this is a realistic and hopeful book. Hilary Cottam has crossed the UK and the USA; she''s spent time in communities considered by outsiders as ''left behind'' and in places at the centre of financial and technological power. Drawing on a fascinating range of sources - historians, trade unionists, business leaders, philosophers and most originally, hours of her imaginative workshops with workers - Hilary Cottam boldly asks: how can we redesign work? Our challenges - political, social, economic and environmental - are tangled and growing. But so are the imaginative solutions. In this exciting, inspiring and optimistic book, Hilary shows us how we could work differently and live better.''So valuable . . .

''How Emotions Are Made did what all great books do. It took a subject I thought I understood and turned my understanding upside down'' – Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping PointWhen you feel anxious, angry, happy, or surprised, what''s really going on inside of you?Uncover fascinating insights into the human mind with How Emotions Are Made by Lisa Feldman Barrett, a pioneer in neuroscience and psychology. This profound book will dismantle and reconstruct your understanding of your own emotions.The world perceives our emotions as automatic and reactive, a response to the world around us. But How Emotions Are Made poses a compelling new perspective, suggesting emotions aren''t universally pre-installed, rather they are unique psychological experiences constructed through our personal history, physiology, and environment.This new view of emotions has serious implications:- when judges issue lesser sentences for crimes of passion- when police officers fire at threatening suspects- when doctors choose between one diagnosis and anotherThey''re all, in some way, relying on the ancient assumption that emotions are hardwired into our brains and bodies. Revising that conception of emotion isn''t just good science, Barrett shows; it''s vital to our well-being and the health of society itself.

Barrett Brown went to prison for four years for leaking intelligence documents. He was released to Trump’s America. This is his story.After a series of escapades both online and off that brought him in and out of 4chan forums, the halls of power, heroin addiction, and federal prison, Barrett Brown is a free man. He was arrested for his part in an attempt to catalog, interpret, and disseminate top-secret documents exposed in a security lapse by the intelligence contractor Stratfor in 2011. An influential journalist who is also active in the hacktivist collective Anonymous, Brown recounts exploits from a life shaped by an often self-destructive drive to speak truth to power. With inimitable wit and style, palpable anger and conviction, he exposes the incompetence and injustices that plague media and politics, reflects on the successes and failures of the transparency movement, and shows the way forward in harnessing digital communication tools for collective action.But My Glorious Defeats is more than just the tale of the clever and hilarious Brown; it’s also a rigorously researched dissection of our decaying institutions and of human nature itself. As Brown makes clear, institutions are made of people—people with personal ambitions and personal vices—and it is people, just like him, just like us, who hold power. As optimistic as it is heartbreaking, My Glorious Defeats is an entertaining and illuminating manual for insurgency in the information age.

In Inside Stories, Hilary Robertson reveals a multitude of ways to curate and arrange those objects and possessions that make up the stuff of life, from treasured artworks and decorative accessories to everyday objects such as hats, baskets and bicycles.In the first chapter, How to Arrange your Stuff, Hilary considers four different approaches to creating arrangements – intuitive, narrative, practical and curatorial—and shows how each one can be achieved. She considers the variety of display locations available within the home—walls, mantelpieces, windowsills, chests of drawers, tabletops—and suggests how to make the most of them with decorative vignettes. Next, in Stories Told by Real Homes, Hilary casts her stylist’s eye over interiors that fall into five different styles—Neatnik, Bohemian, Naturalist, Sculpture Vulture, and Noble Salvage. As she reveals, some people are magpies—they love stuff; finding, collecting, and displaying it—while their opposite, the minimalists, are on a mission to contain or tame it. The ideas in this book will appeal to magpies, minimalists, and everyone in between.

Čaj - zelený, sypaný sypaný čaj Máte za to, že k dlouhým zimním večerům patří šálek horkého čaje? Pak se vám zalíbí čaj OM TEA. Zelený čaj je lidem znám již 5 tisíc let. Jejich největšími producenty jsou Čína nebo Japonsko, ale i další země Asie. Vše začíná sklizní lístků čajovníku čínského či assámského. Dalším krokem je tzv. zavadnutí lístků, což je proces, při kterém se z nich odpaří voda. U čajů zelených se proces zavadnutí snižuje na co možná nejkratší dobu a ihned se prudce zahřívají, aby nedocházelo k oxidaci (jako u čajů černých). Proces oxidace se zastaví prudkým zahřátím, např. opražením na pánvi, napařováním či pečením. Následně dochází k jejich rolování. Je sypaný, je tedy pouze na vás, jaké množství budete louhovat.

It’s summer 1944. The Allies are still locked in life and death struggle with the Axis, and few yet talk of peace. But a select contingent from Britain is combining with our American and Russian allies in something very new. Their mission? To build order from the ashes in vanquished enemy countries. Their weapon? The Allied Control Commissions. Unlike the punitive protocols after the Great War, the spirit of these unique instruments of peace is to be co-operative and constructive. The story is told by Peter Ching, a young British Intelligence officer posted to a succession of military governments. His letters are vivid, humorous and frank as he migrates from sunny Algeria to war-wracked Italy, the snowy peaks of the Balkans and a newly-liberated Greece facing civil conflict. His longest posting is Sofia. A highlight of the book is the profound respect he develops for his Red Army comrades. Many have heroic war records but defy daunting reputations and baleful commissars by proving punctilious, competent and very friendly. Fatefully, within months of the Nazi surrender ideological tensions are threatening the fragile partnerships. And a rare moment when British and Russian soldiers could work constructively together in the great cause is passing into history.

V roce 1535 nechal kovářův syn Thomas Cromwell svoje skromné počátky dávno za sebou. Je prvním ministrem krále Jindřicha VIII., jeho vliv a majetek narůstaly s tím, jak stoupala hvězda Anny Boleynové, Jindřichovy druhé manželky. Kvůli ní se Jindřich rozešel s Římem a založil vlastní církev; země se však díky tomu dostala do nebezpečné izolace a Anna nedokázala splnit, co slibovala: porodit syna, který by byl pokračováním tudorovské linie.Při letní návštěvě Wolf Hall, domu rodiny Seymourových, Cromwell sleduje, jak král propadá lásce k tiché, obyčejné Janě. Ministr chápe, co všechno je v sázce - nejde jen o královo potěšení, ale také o bezpečnost země. V dusivé atmosféře dvorských klevet a sexuálního taktizování musí připravit "pravdu", která uspokojí Jindřicha a zabezpečí mu jeho vlastní kariéru. Ale krvavé divadlo posledních dní Annina života postihne i ministra a krále… V románu Předveďte mrtvé, jenž je pokračováním oceňované knihy Wolf Hall (Man Booker Prize za rok 2009, česky vydalo Argo v roce 2010) Hilary Mantelová zkoumá jednu z nejtajemnějších a nejděsivějších epizod anglických dějin: zkázu Anny Boleynové. Její nový román je odvážným obrazem tudorovské Anglie, který vrhá nové světlo i na moderní svět. Je to práce vynikající autorky na vrcholu sil, což dokazují i významná ocenění, kterých se románu dostalo: roku 2012 získala Hilary Mantelová jako vůbec první žena podruhé Man Bookerovu cenu a současně i cenu Costa Book Award za nejlepší román i nejlepší knihu roku 2012.

Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith’s son from Putney emerges from the spring’s bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; he has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry’s regime to breaking point, Cromwell’s robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the future. But can a nation, or a person, shed the past like a skin? Do the dead continually unbury themselves? What will you do, the Spanish ambassador asks Cromwell, when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone close to him?With The Mirror and the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common man’s vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion and courage.A Guardian Book of the Year • A Times Book of the Year • A Daily Telegraph Book of the Year • A Sunday Times Book of the Year • A New Statesman Book of the Year • A Spectator Book of the Year Sunday Times Bestseller (08/03/2020)

Here we meet not just Mantel the Cromwell-catcher, but Mantel the quill-sharp critic of contemporary life'' The Times, Book of the YearTHE MAGNIFICENT FINAL BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE WOLF HALL TRILOGYAs well as her celebrated career as a novelist, Hilary Mantel long contributed to newspapers and journals, unspooling stories from her own life and illuminating the world as she found it. This strand of her writing was an integral part of how she thought of herself. ''Ink is a generative fluid,'' she explains. ''If you don''t mean your words to breed consequences, don''t write at all.'' A Memoir of My Former Self collects the finest of this writing over four decades. Mantel''s subjects are wide-ranging. She discusses nationalism and her own sense of belonging; our dream life flopping into our conscious life; the mythic legacy of Princess Diana; the many themes that feed into her novels - revolutionary France, psychics, Tudor England - and other novelists, from Jane Austen to V. S. Naipaul. She writes about her father and the man who replaced him; she writes fiercely and heartbreakingly about the battles with her health she endured as a young woman, and the stifling years she found herself living in Saudi Arabia. Here, too, is a selection of her film reviews - from When Harry Met Sally to RoboCop - and, published for the first time, her stunning Reith Lectures, which explore the process of art bringing history and the dead back to life.From her unique childhood to her all-consuming fascination with Thomas Cromwell that grew into the Wolf Hall Trilogy, A Memoir of My Former Self reveals the shape of Hilary Mantel''s life in her own dazzling words, ''messages from people I used to be.''
