Entrances and Exits - Michael Richards
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER As seen on The Today Show, The View, and Jesse Watters The man who brought the kavorka to the Seinfeld show through one of the most remarkable and beloved television characters ever invented, Kramer, shares the extraordinary life of a comedy genius—the way he came into himself as an artist, the ups and downs as a human being, the road he has traveled in search of understanding.“The hair, so essential, symbolizes the irrational that was and is and always will be the underlying feature not only of Kramer but of comedy itself. This seemingly senseless spirit has been coursing through me since childhood. I’ve been under its almighty influence since the day I came into this world. I felt it all within myself, especially the physical comedy, the body movements, so freakish and undignified, where I bumped into things, knocked stuff down, messed up situations, and often ended up on my ass. “This book is a hymn to the irrational, the senseless spirit that breaks the whole into pieces, a reflection on the seemingly absurd difficulties that intrude upon us all. It’s Harpo Marx turning us about, shaking up my plans, throwing me for a loop. Upset and turmoil is with us all the time. It’s at the basis of comedy. It’s the pratfall we all take. It’s the unavoidable mistake we didn’t expect. It’s everywhere I go. It’s in the way that I am, both light and dark, good and not-so-good. It’s my life.” —Michael Richards, from Entrances and Exits

Che Guevara - Jon Lee Anderson
Che Guevara''s legend is unmatched in the modern world. Since his assassination in 1967 at the age of 39, the Argentine revolutionary has become an internationally famed icon, as revered as he is controversial. A Marxist ideologue, he sought to end global inequality by bringing down the American capitalist empire through armed guerrilla warfare – and has few rivals in the Cold War era as an apostle of change. In Che: A Revolutionary Life, Jon Lee Anderson and José Hernández reveal the man behind the myth, creating a complex portrait of this passionate idealist. Adapted from Anderson''s masterwork, Che transports us from young Ernesto''s medical school days to the battlefields of the Cuban revolution; from his place of power alongside Castro to his disastrous sojourn in the Congo, and his violent end in Bolivia. Through renowned Mexican artist José Hernández''s drawings, we feel the bullets fly past in Cuba; smell the smoke of Castro''s cigars; and scrutinize the face of the weary guerrilla as he is called ‘Comandante’ for the first time. With astonishing precision, colour, and drama, Che makes us first-hand witnesses to the revolutionary life and times of this historic figure. Combining Anderson''s unprecedented access and research with Hernández''s emotionally gripping artwork, Che resurrects the man for a new generation of readers.

The Color of Everything - Cory Richards
A renowned climber and National Geographic photographer shares his incredible adventures—and the early trauma that drove him to seek such heights.“An extraordinary memoir of mental illness that reads like a thriller.”—Amy Ellis Nutt, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author of Becoming Nicole“In order to escape madness, I will live madly. I will risk my life in order to save it.”Growing up in the mountains of Utah, Cory Richards was constantly surrounded by the outdoors. His father, a high school teacher and a ski patroller, spent years teaching Richards and his brother how to ski, climb, mountaineer, and survive in the wild. Despite a seemingly idyllic childhood, the Richards home was fraught with violence, grief, and mental illness. After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and dropping out of high school, Richards subsumed himself in the worlds of photography and climbing, seeking out the farthest reaches of the world to escape the darkness. Then, in the midst of a wildly successful career in adventure photography, a catastrophic avalanche changed everything, forcing Richards to confront the trauma of his past, evaluate his own mental health, and learn to rewrite his story.The Color of Everything is a thrilling tale of risk and adventure, written by a man who has done it all: He’s stood at the top of the world, climbed imposing mountain faces alone in the dark, and become the only American to summit an 8,000-meter peak in winter. But it is also the story of a tumultuous life—a stirring, lyrical memoir that captures the profound musings of an unquiet mind grappling with the meaning of success, the cost of fame and addiction, and whether it is possible to outrun your demons. With exquisite prose and disarming candor, accompanied by stunning photos from his career, Richards excavates the roots of his trauma and shares what it took for him to climb out of it.

Chisungu - Audrey Richards
Audrey Richards (1899-1984) was a leading British anthropologist of the twentieth century and the first woman president of the Royal Anthropological Institute. Based on fieldwork conducted at a time when the discipline was dominated by male anthropologists, Chisungu: A Girl’s Initiation Ceremony Among the Bemba of Zambia is widely hailed as a classic of anthropology and African and gender studies.Underpinned by painstaking research carried out by Richards among the Bemba people in northern Zambia in the 1930s, Chisungu focuses on the initiation ceremonies for young Bemba girls. Pioneering the study of women’s rituals and challenging the prevailing theory that rites of passage served merely to transfer individuals from one status to another, Richards writes about the incredibly rich and diverse aspects of ritual that characterised Chisungu: its concern with matriliny; deference to elders; sex and reproduction; the birth of children; ideas about the continuity between past, present and future; and the centrality of emotional conflict.On a deeper level, Chisungu is a crucial work for the role it accords to the meaning of symbolism in explaining the structure of society, paving the way for much subsequent understanding of the role of symbolic meaning and kinship.This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Jessica Johnson and an introduction by Jean La Fontaine.

Exploring Jazz Piano Vol. 2 - Tim Richards
Awarded the prestigious Music Industries Association Award in 2006 for Best Pop Publication, Tim Richards'' Exploring Jazz Piano was the long-awaited follow-up to his acclaimed Improvising Blues Piano, also published by Schott. The overall level is somewhat higher, and would suit pianists of Grade 4 standard and above. The book comes in two volumes, comprising no less than 56 original pieces by the author, together with special arrangements of 24 standards ranging from Autumn Leaves and Summertime to Straight No Chaser and Coltrane''s Impressions.The two volumes also contain over 800 musical examples, a veritable treasury of styles and techniques for the aspiring jazz pianist, and refers to the work of Erroll Garner, Art Tatum, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Horace Silver, Hampton Hawes, Red Garland, Wynton Kelly, Bill Evans, George Shearing, Oscar Peterson, Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, and many others.Each volume has its own audio download (mp3-format), containing between them performances of all 80 pieces, played by Tim alone or with his current trio of Dominic Howles (bass) and Matt Home (drums). Play-along tracks are also included, in which the piano is panned to one speaker, providing rhythm section accompaniment if desired by turning the amplifier''s balance control. Copious examples of improvisation are accompanied by numerous assignments, with guidance to hand on every page.The package is beautifully illustrated with many full-page photographs of piano masters past and present, informative mini biographies and a comprehensive suggested listening section.

Life in the Viking Great Army - Hadley, Richards
The Viking Great Army that landed in East Anglia in late 865 had a lasting impact on English society, culture, politics, and economy.The Viking Great Army landed in East Anglia in late 865 and over the following fifteen years it fought numerous battles in all four Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, made and broke peace treaties, and deposed or killed at least three Anglo-Saxon kings, replacing them with its own appointees. It had a major impact on English society, initiating extensive transformations in Anglo-Saxon society, culture, economy, and political organisation. Previous Viking armies had raided only in the summer months, but the Great Army was a constant presence over this period, overwintering at various locations in northern and eastern England.This presence changed the political, economic, and social landscape of England forever, but historical sources say very little about it. Now, new archaeological evidence has revealed the location of two of its camps, and at least fifty other places it visited. This book describes life in the tents and towns that the Viking Great Army inhabited: the treasure, tools, and weapons found in the camps and what they reveal about how the groups that made up the Army lived and the activities that took place, including the processing and trading of loot, the minting of coins, and the manufacture of jewellery. What emerges is evidence of a rich and diverse community whose impact on England can be traced to the present day.

Tantrická jóni jóga: Spirituální cvičení pro ženy (978-80-7336-975-0)
Kniha - autor Kalashatra Govinda; Gaby Brandl, česky Objevujeme spirituální dimenzi ženské sexuality. Na anatomické úrovni označuje sanskrtský pojem »jóni« zevní i vnitřní ženské pohlavní orgány. V širším smyslu představuje »jóni« především spirituální tajemství související se sexuální energií ženy, s přijímající silou, obětavostí, potěšením, rozkoší a láskou. S pomocí meditací a cvičení, cíleného používání muder a praxe jóni-jógy lze odhalovat prvotní ženskou sílu a rozvíjet ji. Důležitou roli přitom sehrává i masáž jóni, která stimuluje srdeční, sakrální a kořenovou čakru a která je uvádí do souladu. Tantrická JÓNI jóga je pro tebe tou správnou knihou, jestliže nejsi spokojena se svými dosavadními sexuálními zkušenostmi, jestliže chceš vědět, zda ti rozkoš a smyslnost dokážou nabídnout šanci zacházet pozorněji a intenzivněji sama se sebou i se svým partnerem a dosáhnout sama či ve dvojici vrcholu extáze, když dospěješ k poznání, že sex...

Posvátné poznání - William A. Richards
Jako zasloužilý pamětník psychedelického hnutí nabízí William A. Richards čtenářům desítky let vlastní, nezprostředkované zkušenosti s výzkumem psychedelik. V této pozoruhodné knize se pohybuje jak na poli diskuzí o nejdůležitějších momentech psychedelického výzkumu, tak v hlubokých náboženských a metafyzických tématech, která probírá s péčí a smyslem pro detail. Autor nabízí rozvážné a pragmatické rady, např. jak si poradit s psychosomatickými potížemi při užití psychedelik, jak bezpečně maximalizovat potenciál k navození spirituálně transformativní mystické zkušenosti, jak mohou psychedelika dát smysl běžnému životu i prožitku umírání a jak mohou tyto látky udivujícím způsobem pomoci při těžkých závislostech nebo klinické depresi. Kniha Posvátné poznání věnuje hlavní pozornost zkoumání mystických prožitků, které jsou zřejmě tím hlavním a nejpřekvapivější zjištěním psychedelického výzkumu. Pokud jsou spirituální prožitky katalyzované psychedeliky nerozlišitelné od mystických stavů, jejichž líčení jsou náplní literatury všech větších náboženství, vědci a badatelé mají k dispozici jedinečný a drahocenný nástroj - mohou vcelku spolehlivým a replikovatelným způsobem zprostředkovat mystickou zkušenost. William A. Richards postupuje podrobně, systematicky a hovoří rozvážným, průzračným jazykem. Postupně tak stránku po stránce rozkrývá svou vizi úžasných hlubin lidské psýché a podobně úžasné krásy tohoto světa - vizi, která v jeho případě není jen jakousi vznosnou, nepodloženou metafyzickou spekulací, nýbrž dobře vystavěnou koncepcí, doloženou podrobnými popisy prožitků a vhledů pacientů a dobrovolníků.

''An underground hit'' – Best Politics Books, Financial Times ''Jon has one of the few big ideas that''s easily applied'' – Sam Conniff, Be More Pirate ''A wonderful guide to how to be human in the 21st Century'' – Ece Temelkuran, How to Lose a Country With an introduction by Brian Eno Description Citizens opens up a new way of understanding ourselves and shows us what we must do to survive and thrive as individuals, organisations, and nations. Over the past decade, Jon Alexander’s consultancy, the New Citizenship Project, has helped revitalise some of Britain’s biggest organisations including the Co-op, the Guardian and the National Trust. Here, with the New York Timesbestselling writer Ariane Conrad, he shows how history is about to enter the age of the Citizen. Because when our institutions treat people as creative, empowered creatures rather than consumers, everything changes. Unleashing the power of everyone equips us to face the challenges of economic insecurity, climate crisis, public health threats, and polarisation. Citizens is an upbeat handbook, full of insights, clear examples to follow, and inspiring case studies, from the slums of Kenya to the backstreets of Birmingham – and a foreword by Brian Eno. It is the perfect pick-me-up for leaders, founders, elected officials – and citizens everywhere. An ideal companion to the groundbreaking books Doughnut Economics and Radical Help. Organise and seize the future! Reviews ''Every great transformation requires a new story. A story that reveals new possibilities and points toward an optimistic alternative to the current situation. Citizens presents just such a story.'' – Tim Brown, Chair of IDEO and author of Change By Design ''The shift from consumer to citizen is a truly big idea. If you’re in a position of strategic influence, I strongly recommend you engage with this and consciously explore what it might mean for your organisation.'' – Dame Fiona Reynolds DBE, Former Director General, National Trust, and Trustee, BBC ''The belief that every single one of us has both the potential and the desire to make the world better drives me every day, in everything I do. In Citizens, Jon shows how taking that belief as a starting point really could transform our world. This is a truly powerful book, in every sense of the word.'' - Josh Babarinde, Forbes 30 Under 30 Social Entrepreneur ''There is such a thing as an idea whose time has come. This is that idea.'' – James Perry, Board Member, B Lab Global, and Founding Partner, Snowball Investment Management About the Authors JON ALEXANDER began his career with success in advertising, winning the prestigious Big Creative Idea of the Year before making a dramatic change. Driven by a deep need to understand the impact on society of 3,000 commercial messages a day, he gathered three Masters degrees, exploring consumerism and its alternatives from every angle. In 2014, he co-founded the New Citizenship Project to bring the resulting ideas into contact with reality. In Citizens, he is ready to share them with the world. BRIAN ENO is an artist, philosopher and Citizen who has played a critical part in British culture since the early 1970s. He is a deep believer in the power of ideas and the possibility of a better world. His latest book is What Art Does. Buy the book and start readingForeword. Brian Eno sets out the value of Citizens in framing a new, optimistic cooperative story for our age, as opposed to the two other options: authoritarian states such as China and "Siliconia" - "a Consumer state with centralised power and deep surveillance". Mentions Citizen Story 1. Opening. Jon Alexander sets out the need to ''step into'' the Citizen Story so that we can deal with the many challenges of our age: economic insecurity, ecological emergency, public health threats, political polarisation, and more. Mentions citizens, economic insecurity, ecological emergency 2. Citizens Everywhere. How humans are bound together through interdependence and reciprocity, and in turn have a deep bond with nature, which conventional big business cannot understand. Picks apart the self-dependence and utilitarian philosophy of tech billionaires Peter Thiel and Mark Zuckerberg 3. Citizens By Nature. Central to the Citizen Story is a belief in ourselves and in human nature as creative, capable, and caring, rather than lazy, self-interested, and competitive within a zero-sum framework. Any redesign of institutions will fail if we haven’t embraced this fundamental belief 4. We''re All Consumers Now. The launch of the consumer age, by way of Apple''s advert for its new Macintosh at the US SuperBowl in 1984. Mentions Apple Macintosh, Ridley Scott, consumer demand, Consumer Story, George Orwell 1984, Virgin Atlantic, Richard Branson, IKEA, Walmart, Virgin Galactic 5. Once We Were Subjects.

The Lost Worlds of John Ford - Jeffrey Richards
The great director John Ford (1894-1973) is best known for classic westerns, but his body of work encompasses much more than this single genre. Jeffrey Richards develops and broadens our understanding of Ford''s film-making oeuvre by studying his non-Western films through the lens of Ford’s life and abiding preoccupations. Ford''s other cinematic worlds included Ireland, the Family, Catholicism, War and the Sea, which share with his westerns the recurrent themes of memory and loss, the plight of outsiders and the tragedy of family breakup. Richards'' revisionist study both provides new insights into familiar films such as The Fugitive (1947); The Quiet Man (1952), Gideon’s Way and The Informer (1935) and reclaims neglected masterpieces, among them Wee Willie Winkie (1937) and the extraordinary The Long Voyage Home. (1940).

How can you communicate effectively and create meaningful interactions in an increasingly digital world? By teaching. In Make Yourself Clear, educational experts and entrepreneurs Reshan Richards and Stephen J. Valentine explain the many parallels between teaching and business and offer companies, both large and small, concrete advice for building the teaching capacity of their salespeople, leaders, service professionals, and trainers.

You will be equipped to understand others better, and in turn, to be better understood. Make Yourself Clear is not prescriptive, nor does it suggest rigid steps, pillars, or frameworks. Instead, it provides immediately recognizable and relatable context, suggesting actions that can be tried, measured, tested, and iterated upon in any communication context that involves the exchange of information and ideas. Ground your business communications in proven techniquesProfit from expert instruction given by those who have helped thousands of readers and workshop studentsDevelop your sales career by applying effective teaching practices to customer and colleague interactionsFor educators, adopt the latest best practices into your teaching style Backed by thorough research and extensive real-world testing, Make Yourself Clear opens a door to more productive communication and more effective interactions.

?Honor your yoga students'' unique practice with this essential guide to identifying and supporting healthy, safe movement for every body. Includes more than 80 exercises and 43 instructional drawings.Teach People, Not Poses is the manual that yoga teachers and yoga therapists need to help their students step onto the mat on their own terms, comfortably and safely. Mary Richards, a yoga teacher, yoga therapist, and expert in kinesiology and anatomy, says that we leave too many people off the mat, due to overly aggressive pace, sequence, and ambition in asana. She offers advice, techniques, observations, practices, and sequences to give teachers and yoga therapists the tools they need to move beyond the popular ideas of “should” on the mat.  To safely guide others in asana, especially when people come to the mat for relief from residual effects of acute injuries, chronic pain, and repetitive strain, yoga teachers need to understand what is typical and atypical in terms of posture and movement. Richards offers teachers myriad exercises to address imbalances and strengthen, such as "Tighten the Corset" for deep core training"Forearm Chaturanga/Plank" to develop core strength and stability "Revolved Warrior I with Resistance Band" for core stabilization"Wall-supported Downward-facing Dog" to activate the abdominal muscles and support the lower backand much moreThis unique book masterfully blends yoga philosophy with practical body knowledge and physical core stabilization skills, so that asana is truly an individualized expression—and what the Yoga Sutras describe as sthira sukham asanam, asana that is steady and comfortable.
