The ancient inheritance that made us who we are. The ancient inheritance that is now driving us to ruin.Each of us is endowed with an inheritance. A set of ancient biases, forged through countless millennia of natural and cultural selection, which shape every facet of our behaviour.For generations, this inheritance has taken us to ever greater heights, driving the rise of more sophisticated technologies, more organized religions, more expansive empires. But now, for the first time, it is failing us. We find ourselves careering towards a future of unprecedented political polarization, deadlier wars, and environmental destruction.In Inheritance, renowned anthropologist Harvey Whitehouse offers a sweeping account of how our evolved biases have shaped humanity s past and imperil its future.Unveiling a pioneering new way of viewing our collective history - one that weaves together psychological experiments, on-theground fieldwork, and big data - Whitehouse introduces three biases that shape human behaviour everywhere: conformism, religiosity, and tribalism.These biases have catalysed the greatest transformations in human history, from the birth of agriculture and arrival of the first kings to the rise and fall of human sacrifice and creation of multiethnic empires. Yet today, they are driving us to ruin. Taking us deep into New Guinea tribes, Libyan militias, and predatory ad agencies, Whitehouse shows how the tools we once used to manage our biases are breaking down, with devastating implications for us all.By uncovering how human nature has shaped our collective history, Inheritance reveals a surprising new path to solving our most urgent problems.The result is a powerful reappraisal of the human journey; one that transforms our understanding of who we are, and who we could be.

A riveting, poignant account of two young women⠔the author⠙s own mother-in-law, and her sister⠔and their miraculous escape from the murderous authorities of Vichy France.When the Nazis invaded France in 1940, Marion and Huguette Müller⠙s family was torn apart. After their mother was deported to Auschwitz, the two young Jewish women fled to the Alpine skiing town of Val d⠙Isère, where they were rescued by an incredibly courageous doctor.Through intrepid reporting, sensitive family interviews, and thousands of records, Rosie Whitehouse traces decades-old mysteries of the Müller sisters⠙ story, seeking closure and justice for her family and the doctor⠙s. Why did he shelter them? Who had betrayed their mother? How did this national tragedy happen?Whitehouse⠙s discoveries raise deep moral questions about France⠙s Holocaust, with urgent resonance for today⠙s politics: questions about French complicity, minority agency, collective culpability, duty to your country and duty to other people. She pieces together not only how the sisters were saved, but how so many others were lost.From villagers to Vichy officials, antisemitism to resistance, this is a sweeping yet intimate history of French choices before, during and after the Nazi occupation; and a moving, gripping tale of forged documents, narrow escapes, one family⠙s trauma, and the grace of human connection.

A proper read-it-in-one-go book, opening up an advent calendar of lives behind the doors of a block of flats ADAM KAY, author of THIS IS GOING TO HURT I inhaled it in a sitting - what an exhilarating book. Brave, revealing and unexpected CATHY RENTZENBRINK, author of THE LAST ACT OF LOVEMargate is in the grip of a heatwave when David Whitehouse stumbles across the mysterious story of a local woman who lived on the ground floor of Saltwater Mansions, a block of flats not far from the sea. On paper, Caroline Lane was unremarkable. She paid her mortgage every month. She always paid her bills. But nobody had seen or heard from her for 13 years, and no one had ever come looking. She had disappeared completely.David quickly becomes as fascinated by this missing woman as the residents of Saltwater Mansions, all of whom have their own theories to share, and their own unique stories to tell. As his obsession grows, David unearths vital clues that private detectives and amateur investigators alike have failed to spot. But the closer he gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that this mystery was never meant to be solved, and that some stories don t want to be told. What if this one was never about Caroline Lane at all?From acclaimed and award-winning author David Whitehouse, Saltwater Mansions is an astonishing work of creative non-fiction blending reportage and memoir to explore the extraordinary hidden lives of ordinary people, the impact of grief, and the dangerous allure of taking true crime stories into our own hands.

Audiokniha: Anna Svídnická zdědila po matce nevšední krásu a po otci zase důležitá území. Není proto divu, že ruku nejkrásnější ženy Evropy chce pro svého syna Václava získat i český král Karel IV. Po Václavově náhlé smrti se o Annu rozhodne ucházet sám, a to pouze z jediného důvodu – aby získal její strategicky významné državy a upevnil tak své postavení. Stačí však první setkání s okouzlující Annou a z mocného panovníka se stane její oddaný vazal. Přijme však Anna, jíž je kromě mnoha předností dán do vínku také hrdý majestát, dvoření českého krále a stane se jeho třetí manželkou? Na pozadí intrik královského dvora se tak rozehrává strhující příběh, který nás zavede do časů převratných událostí poloviny 14. století. Výkřiky / citace z knižní obálky: Anna Svídnická seděla na lůžku podepřena polštáři a zamyšleně si natáčela dlouhý pramen zlatých vlasů na štíhlý ukazováček. Půlnoc už dávno minula, ale myšlenky a události uplynulých dní jí nedávaly spát. Vzduch prosycený vůní květin ze zahrady ztěžkl předzvěstí první jarní bouře. Budínský hrad obklopovalo hluboké ticho. Anna si opět vybavila nedávné setkání s Karlem IV. Neubránila se přitom úsměvu. I tentokrát dospěla k závěru, že v té zkoušce obstála se ctí. Karel IV. mohl být zkušený a jako jedinečný diplomat a politik dokázal hnutí mysli skrývat, Anně přesto neunikl úžas, který se mu zračil ve tváři, když ji poprvé spatřil. Rty jí opět zvlnil úsměv. Chvilku potom tomu vzácnému královskému návštěvníkovi trvalo, než opět našel řeč. Rychle si pak nasadil masku galantního rytíře, ale Anna moc dobře věděla, že se tato hra bude nyní hrát podle jejích pravidel.

The autobiography of an American icon, Andy Warhol s The Philosophy of Andy Warhol is published in Penguin Modern Classics. I never think that people die. They just go to department stores Andy Warhol - American painter, filmmaker, publisher, actor and major figure in the Pop Art movement - was in many ways a reluctant celebrity. Here, in his autobiography, he spills his secrets and muses about love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money, success, New York and America and its place in the world. But it is his reflections on himself, his childhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, the explosion of his career in the Sixties and his life among celebrities - from working with Elizabeth Taylor to partying with the Rolling Stones - that give a true insight into the mind of one of the most iconic figures in twentieth-century culture.Andy Warhol (1928-1987), was an American painter, filmmaker, publisher, actor, and a major figure in the Pop Art movement. He also produced a significant body of film work, including the famous Chelsea Girls; characterised the epoch with the now-famous expression fifteen minutes of fame ; produced the first album by The Velvet Underground; and was nearly killed just two days before the assassination of JFK. If you enjoyed The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, you might like 100 Artists Manifestos, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. Acute. Accurate. Mr Warhol s usual amazing candor.

This definitive biography of Anna Wintour chronicles the steep climb of an ambitious young woman who would, with singular and legendary focus, become the most powerful woman in media.As a child, Anna Wintour was a tomboy with no apparent interest in clothing but, seduced by the miniskirts and bob haircuts of swinging 1960s London, she grew into a fashion-obsessed teenager. Her father, the influential editor of the Evening Standard, loomed large in her life, and once he decided she should become editor in chief of Vogue, she never looked back.Impatient to start her career, she left high school and got a job at a fashionable boutique in London - an experience that would be the first of many defeats. Undeterred, she found work in the competitive world of magazines, eventually moving to New York. Before long, Anna s journey to Vogue became a battle to ascend, no matter who or what stood in her way. Once she was crowned editor in chief - in one of the stormiest transitions in fashion magazine history - she continued the fight to retain her enviable position, ultimately rising to dominate all of Conde Nast.Based on extensive interviews with Anna Wintour s closest friends and collaborators, including some of the biggest names in fashion, journalist Amy Odell has crafted the most revealing portrait of Wintour ever published. Weaving Anna s personal story into a larger narrative about the hierarchical dynamics of the fashion industry and the complex world of Conde Nast, Anna charts the relentless ambition of the woman who would become an icon.

A front-row view of Andy Warhol’s relentless rise from cult New York Pop artist to 20th-century icon, charted by legendary photojournalist Steve Schapiro in over 120 photos. From working at the Factory to hanging out with his entourage, including the Velvet Underground in Los Angeles, witness Warhol at the peak of creativity and cultural influence. Pictures of Andy Warhol by Steve Schapiro In 1965, Steve Schapiro started documenting Andy Warhol for LIFE magazine: Warhol was cementing a reputation as an important Pop artist who drew his inspiration from popular culture and commercial objects. With his sunglasses, blond wig, and bland public utterances, Warhol was enigmatic, charismatic, intensely ambitious, and aware that to become a star, you needed the presence of people to document your ascent. Schapiro, also ambitious and hardworking, who in his own words “kept quiet and smiled a lot,” was an ideal witness to Warhol’s relentless rise from cult New York artist to 20th-century icon. Ironically, LIFE never published the story, so many of these images are seen here for the first time, scanned from negatives found deep in Schapiro’s archive.Between 1965 and 1966, Schapiro busily photographed Warhol and his entourage of superstars, including the legendary Edie Sedgwick and Nico, hanging out art openings,. making his underground movie Camp, working on his silkscreens at the Factory, and roaming the streets of New York. Schapiro was also present at the opening of Warhol’s first museum retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, attended by a hyped-up crowd of thousands —the night where art’s coolest new king was crowned and Andymania was born. The final stop on the Warhol express train is Los Angeles, where Andy exhibited his ironic Silver Clouds at the Ferus Gallery, stayed at the picturesque Castle, and set up and filmed a performance by cult band the Velvet Underground.Featuring more than 120 photographs, Schapiro’s images are juxtaposed with tipped-in plates of original Warhol artworks exhibited during the period. The art works include Before and After, 4, 1962, Colored Campbell’s Soup Can, 1965, S H Green Stamps, 1965, One Dollar Bills (Fronts), 1962, 100 Cans, 1962, Flowers, 1965, Shot Red Marilyn, 1964, Elvis I and II [Elvis Diptych] [Ferus Type], 1963–64, Green Disaster # 2 (Green Disaster Ten Times), 1963, White Disaster (White Car Crash 19 Times), 1963, and many others. Also featuring an interview with Steve Schapiro, who passed away in early 2022, and an essay and extended captions by official Warhol biographer Blake Gopnik. Andy Warhol and Friends 1965–1966 is a definitive portrait of a groundbreaking artist at a transformative period in postwar American culture.

An adventurous collection that examines how the design field has consistently failed to attract and support Black professionals—and how to create an anti-racist, pro-Black design industry instead.An Anthology of Blackness examines the intersection of Black identity and practice, probing why the design field has failed to attract Black professionals, how Eurocentric hegemony impacts Black professionals, and how Black designers can create an anti-racist design industry. Contributing authors and creators demonstrate how to develop a pro-Black design practice of inclusivity, including Black representation in designed media, anti-racist pedagogy, and radical self-care. Through autoethnography, lived experience, scholarship, and applied research, these contributors share proven methods for creating an anti-racist and inclusive design practice. The contributions in An Anthology of Blackness include essays, opinion pieces, case studies, and visual narratives. Many contributors write from an intersectional perspective on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and ability. Each section of the book expands on community-driven concerns about the state of the design industry, design pedagogy, and design activism. Ultimately, this articulated intersection of Black identity and Black design practice reveals the power of resistance, community, and solidarity—and the hope for a more equitable future. With a foreword written by design luminary Elizabeth (Dori) Tunstall, An Anthology of Blackness is a pioneering contribution to the literature of social justice.ContributorsKprecia Ambers, Jazmine Beatty, Anne H.

Během cesty do Moskvy, kam jede navštívit bratra (Matthew Macfadyen), potká hraběnku Vronskou a na moskevském nástupišti se seznámí i s jejím synem (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), mladým ambiciózním důstojníkem. Letmé setkání stačí k tomu, aby mezi nimi přeskočila jiskra, která se záhy promění v požár, který ani jeden z nich nedokáže a ani nechce uhasit. Chtějí se „jen“ svobodně milovat, ale carské Rusko konce 19. století je vůči podobným excesům velmi netolerantní a umí to dát patřičně najevo.Bonusy: • Vynechané scény • Anna Karenina: Velkolepý příběh lásky • Adaptace Tolstého • Keira jako Anna • Na natáčení s režisérem Joem Wrightem • Anna a její kostýmy • Anna Karenina: Časosběrné fotografie • Komentář režiséra Joea Wrighta

Anna Karenina je krásná a inteligentní žena žijící ve spokojeném manželství. Její muž je bohatý, takže Anna netrpí materiálním nedostatkem – přesto se však začíná nudit. Při návštěvě rodiny svého bratra poznává mladého, ale lehkomyslného hraběte Vronského. Ten má sice známost s dívkou Kitty, ale elegantní Anna ho zcela okouzlí. Situace se vyhrotí, když Anna s Vronským otěhotní – teď už se o všem dozvídá i její muž a chce se s ní dát rozvést. Rozvodem by ale Anna přišla o syna Sergeje, kterého neskonale miluje, a proto odmítá. Po porodu však manžela i syna opouští a odjíždí s Vronským. Štěstí ale nedosáhne – časem se s milencem odcizují a Anně se navíc silně stýská po synovi. Lidé v jejím okolí ji vesměs odsuzují a Anna se cítí čím dál tím více osamělá. Duševně zcela vyčerpaná a zlomená žena nakonec vidí jediné východisko ve smrti a vrhá se pod vlak.

ČO AK NOČNÉ MORY NIE SÚ V SKUTOČNOSTI NOČNÝMI MORAMI? Priemerný človek prespí v živote približne tridsaťtri rokov. Čo sa však v skutočnosti deje, keď spíme, a čoho sme vtedy naozaj schopní?Anna Ogilvy bola nádejná dvadsaťpäťročná spisovateľka so svetlou budúcnosťou. Až kým raz v noci bez zdanlivého dôvodu na smrť nedobodala dvoch ľudí – a odvtedy sa nezobudila. Anna, ktorú noviny nazvali „spiacou krásavicou“, trpí zriedkavou psychosomatickou poruchou, známou ako „syndróm rezignácie“.Doktor Benedict Prince je forenzný psychológ a expert v oblasti vrážd spojených so spánkom. Jeho metódy sú poslednou nádejou na vyriešenie neslávne známeho prípadu Anny O, ktorá sa musí zobudiť, aby ju mohli postaviť pred súd. V prípade takejto ostro sledovanej podozrivej však treba postupovať veľmi opatrne, hlavne ak máte vlastné pracovné tajomstvá a komplikovaný osobný život.Kým sa Anna začína postupne preberať, Benedict musí zistiť, čo sa naozaj stalo a či je Anna za svoje zločiny skutočne zodpovedná. Iba Anna pozná pravdu o udalostiach tej osudnej noci, ale iba Benedict vie, ako ju odhaliť. Lenže pre to, čo zistia, im obom začne hroziť nebezpečenstvo.

AI is changing the world at frightening speed. A bestselling author decides to find out more… ‘Something profound and utterly brilliant is going on… hilarious.’ THE TIMES Is ChatGPT the end of creative industries as we know them? An ethical quagmire from which there is no return? A threat to all our jobs, as we keep hearing on the news? Bestselling children’s author Andy Stanton has made a career out of writing differently – from the unconventional ‘hero’ of his bestselling Mr Gum series to his penchant for absurdist plots, his children’s books are anything but formulaic. When a friend introduces him to ChatGPT, the new large language chatbot, Andy is as sceptical as he is curious. Can this jumble of algorithms really mimic the spontaneity of human thought? Could it one day replace human authors like him for good? And are we soon to be ruled over by despotic robot overlords? He decides there’s only one thing for it – he must test this bot’s capabilities. Eventually, he settles on a prompt that will push the algorithm to its creative limits: ‘tell me a story about a blue whale with a tiny penis.’ Chaos ensues. What follows is a surprising and illuminating battle between Andy and ChatGPT that maybe, just maybe, might help us all understand AI a little bit better. Join Andy and his beleaguered AI lackey on a rollicking metafictional journey through the art of storytelling. Presenting his prompts and the AI-generated narrative alongside extensive commentary, Stanton provides a startling paean to the art of a good story and boundless human creativity. Hopeful and hilarious, Benny the Blue Whale provides a joyfully anarchic meditation on AI, literature and why we write. *** A WATERSTONES AND NEW SCIENTIST BEST BOOK OF 2023 ‘There’s no book like it. Scholarly, childish, fascinating and hilarious – one of our funniest writers dissects what it takes to build a story and what that tells us about being human. It’ll really make you think, if you can stop laughing.’ —Chris Addison, co-creator of BREEDERS ‘Entertaining and alarmingly relevant, provocative and philosophically satisfying, it’s ultimately a profoundly human text.’ OBSERVER ‘A magnificent experiment by a perfect fool – deep and shallow and stupid and clever – the perfect use of AI (Andy Intelligence).’ —Robin Ince, author of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING INTERESTED ‘Benny the Blue Whale is many things. It’s a fascinating discourse on the nature of language and storytelling. It’s a philosophical treatise on the possibilities of artificial intelligence. It’s a receptacle for obscenely hilarious jokes... A brilliant and beautiful cyborg: part human brain, part computational muscle. It’s a post-post-modern work of genius.’ —Anthony McGowan, Carnegie Medal-winning author of LARK

A visually captivating history of the evolution of Glamour magazine and its decades at the forefront of female empowerment in an incredible photographic volume. For 85 years, Glamour has been the preeminent women’s empowerment brand in America. But until now, no one has told the extraordinary story of its origins, the famous names who helped shape the magazine into the global powerhouse it is today, and Glamour’s many historic firsts and contributions. Chronicled visually and narratively through historic and modern-day Glamour covers, stunning photographs, editorial features, and never-before-seen correspondences, Glamour: An Extraordinary History charts the evolution of the magazine from its inception just months before World War II began in 1939 to today as an unparalleled testament to trailblazing women.Glamour was the first American fashion magazine to feature a Black cover star, Katiti Kironde, and the first to put model Beverly Johnson on the cover (she starred 15 more times). It was one of the first to present Gloria Steinem’s writing, and publish Andy Warhol’s illustrations. Presidents Reagan, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Bush, and Obama all featured in or contributed to Glamour. And its courageous reporting on reproductive rights garnered numerous prestigious awards. In a gripping journey, follow some of the critical women editors and journalists who spearheaded the magazine as it became, in the words of Condé Nast himself, “a periodical devoted to…the life of our day.”

An imaginative and engaging exploration of childhood emotions through poetry and evocative illustration.Emotions are like animals:No two are quite the same. Some are quiet; some are fierce; And all are hard to tame.Children experience all sorts of emotions: sometimes going through several very different ones before breakfast. Yet they can struggle to put these feelings into words. An inability to understand and communicate their moods can lead to bad behavior, deep frustration, and a whole host of difficulties further down the line. Like adults, they need help to recognize and verbalize their inner state. The greater their emotional vocabulary, the more likely they are to grow into happy, healthy, and fulfilled adults.An Emotional Menagerie is an emotional glossary for children. A book of 26 rhyming poems, arranged alphabetically, that bring our feelings to life—Anger, Boredom, Curiosity, Dreaminess, Embarrassment, Fear, Guilt, and more. The poems transform each emotion into a different animal to provide a clear and engaging illustration of its character: how it arises; how it makes us behave and how we can learn to manage its effects. Boasting a rich vocabulary, the poems also give children a wide variety of options for describing their feelings to others.Filled with wise, therapeutic advice, brought to life through musical language and beautiful illustrations, An Emotional Menagerie is an imaginative and universally appealing way of increasing emotional literacy. AN EMOTIONAL GLOSSARY FOR CHILDREN: with 26 rhyming poems, arranged alphabetically. ILLUSTRATED BY RACHAEL SAUNDERS: whimsical and humorous full color illustrations throughout.
