A Little Book of Impressions describes life behind the mirror, probe and drill. After his unexpected encounters with dentistry from an early age and his time as a student at Guy’s Hospital in the seventies, Gerald Feaver describes embarking on a fulfilling and rewarding career that became his great passion.He writes of the amazing people he met over the years and how his life was enriched by hearing insights into their remarkable lives (yes, dentists do allow their patients to speak sometimes!), fascinating tales of romance, intrigue and heroism. This memoir is full of humour, interspersed with some poignant and personal moments that encapsulate the life of a dentist and patients in a variety of situations.The perception that a visit to the dentist was something to be feared or at least endured, was an anathema to him. Gerald always wanted his patients to feel relaxed and at ease. Revealing the human side of dentistry, the care and compassion that dentists strive to achieve when treating their patients, Gerald hopes that this book may help to reduce the fear that many still have about a visit to the dentist’s chair.

Príbeh o mužovi, ktorý nemal odvahu žiť ani umrieť, a tak blúdil svetom položivý. Až dotyk smrti ho naučil žiť. Keď sa naučil milovať ženu, naučila sa milovať seba i celý svet. A keď spoznal lásku, spoznal i Boha. Je to irónia ľudského osudu. Celý život čakáme na zázrak a keď nám jedného dňa zaklope na dvere, bojíme sa otvoriť. Keď predsa len otvoríme, tak ho následne vyženieme preč, pretože sme sa naučili snívať a zabudli žiť. No jediný spôsob ako spoznať lásku je stať sa ňou. Svet netvorí naše pocity. My tvoríme pocitmi svet. Človek, ktorý sa pozerá na svet, sa zároveň díva do zrkadla. A vidí odraz svojich myšlienok a emócií, svoj vlastný výtvor.Hlavný hrdina príbehu Teo je svetoznámym spisovateľom, ktorého obdivujú tisíce ľudí po celom svete. Má nádhernú ženu, peniaze, slávu... Má všetko po čom môže človek túžiť. Nič však netrvá večne a Teo prichádza o všetko, no najmä sám o seba. Uvedomí si, že celý život sa snažil naplniť predstavy svojho okolia, a tak nikdy nežil svoj vlastný život.

"A History of the Moravian Church" written by J. E. (John Edwin) Hutton is a definitive and scholarly exploration of the Moravian Church's rich and fascinating history. This work demonstrates Hutton's commitment to the study of religious movements and their impact on society. Hutton's book provides a complete history of the Moravian Church, officially known as the Unitas Fratrum, from its beginnings in the 15th century to its ongoing influence in the twentieth. The Moravian Church has a distinct history that may be traced back to Jan Hus, a reformer who challenged religious customs of his day. In "A History of the Moravian Church," Hutton methodically researches and tells the tale of this extraordinary Christian denomination's development, beliefs, and customs. He investigates their concentration on missionary work, their particular community life, and their substantial contributions to the history of Protestantism in general. One of Hutton's enduring qualities is his ability to make difficult historical and theological issues understandable to readers. He offers insightful insights into the Moravian Church's theology, spirituality, and impact on the larger Christian world.

Jedinečný a dojemný příběh vztahu Freddieho Mercuryho a jeho dlouholetého přítele Jima Huttona, který čtenáři znají z oscarového filmu Bohemian Rhapsody. Jejich vztah se rozvíjel na přelomu let 1984 a 1985. Když se spolu poprvé vyspali, Hutton vůbec netušil, kdo Mercury je, a když se mu hvězdný zpěvák představil, jeho jméno mu nic neříkalo. Hutton pracoval jako holič v hotelu Savoy ještě dva roky poté, co se k Mercurymu nastěhoval a začal mu dělat zahradníka. Stejnou dobu si také držel podnájem v Suttonu v Surrey. Nikdy zcela nepřivykl umělcovu životu na vysoké noze. Od roku 1985 do Mercuryho smrti roku 1991 k němu měl ale blíž než kdokoli a znal všechny jeho nejbližší přátele: mezi jinými členy kapely Queen, Eltona Johna, Davida Bowieho a Phila Collinse. Poslední roky Mercuryho soukromého života – se všemi radostmi a strastmi – by přesněji a upřímněji než Jim Hutton nikdo popsat nedokázal .

In this ambitious and thoroughly up-to-date book, Ronald Hutton reveals the long development, rapid suppression, and enduring cultural significance of paganism, from the Paleolithic era to the coming of Christianity.

He includes the well-known sacred sites-Stonehenge, Avebury, Seahenge, Maiden Castle, Anglesey-as well as more obscure locations across the mainland and coastal islands. In tireless pursuit of the elusive "why" of pagan behavior, Hutton astonishes with the breadth of his understanding of Britain's deep past and inspires with the originality of his insights.

Praise for the author::''For anyone researching the subject, this is the book you''ve been waiting for.''Washington PostFrom the death of Richard III on Bosworth Field in 1485 to the execution of Charles I after the Civil Wars of 1642-48, England was transformed by two dynasties.First, the Tudors, who had won the crown on the battlefield, changed both the nature of kingship and the nation itself. England became Protestant and began to establish itself as a trading power; facing down seemingly impossible odds, it defeated its enemies on land and sea. But after a century, Elizabeth I died with no heir and the crown was passed to the Stuarts, who sought to remould the kingdom in their own image.Leading authority on the history of the British Isles in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Ronald Hutton brilliantly recreates the political landscape of this early modern period and shows how the modern nation was forged in these febrile, transformative years. Combining skilful pen portraits of the leading figures of the day with descriptions of its culture, economics and vivid accounts of everyday life, Hutton provides telling insights into this critical period on Britain''s national history.This the second book in the landmark four-volume Brief ...

Why have societies all across the world feared witchcraft? This book delves deeply into its context, beliefs, and origins in Europe’s history"Traces the idea of witches far beyond the Salem witch trials to beliefs and attitudes about witches around the world throughout history.”—Los Angeles Times The witch came to prominence—and often a painful death—in early modern Europe, yet her origins are much more geographically diverse and historically deep. In this landmark book, Ronald Hutton traces witchcraft from the ancient world to the early-modern stake.  This book sets the notorious European witch trials in the widest and deepest possible perspective and traces the major historiographical developments of witchcraft. Hutton, a renowned expert on ancient, medieval, and modern paganism and witchcraft beliefs, combines Anglo-American and continental scholarly approaches to examine attitudes on witchcraft and the treatment of suspected witches across the world, including in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Australia, and North and South America, and from ancient pagan times to current interpretations. His fresh anthropological and ethnographical approach focuses on cultural inheritance and change while considering shamanism, folk religion, the range of witch trials, and how the fear of witchcraft might be eradicated.

A heartrending and beautiful memoir of sudden loss and a journey to peace, from the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of  Horse.Many cultural and religious traditions expect those who are grieving to step away from the world. In contemporary life, we are more often met with red tape and to-do lists. This is exactly what happened to Geraldine Brooks when her partner of more than three decades, Tony Horwitz - just sixty years old and, to her knowledge, vigorous and healthy - collapsed and died on a Washington, D. C. sidewalk.After spending their early years together in conflict zones as foreign correspondents, Geraldine and Tony settled down to raise two boys on Martha''s Vineyard. The life they built was one of meaningful work, good humor, and tenderness, as they spent their days writing and their evenings cooking family dinners or watching the sun set with friends at Lambert''s Cove. But all of this came to an abrupt end when, on Memorial Day 2019, Geraldine received the phone call we all dread. The demands were immediate and many. Without space to grieve, the sudden loss became a yawning gulf.Three years later, she booked a flight to a remote island off the coast ... Unknown localization key: "more"

June 1940. Britain is Europe's final bastion of freedom - and Hitler's next target. But not everyone fears a Nazi invasion. In factories, offices and suburban homes are men and women determined to do all they can to hasten it.Throughout the Second World War, Britain's defence against the enemy within was Eric Roberts, a former bank clerk from Epsom. Equipped with an extraordinary ability to make people trust him, he was recruited into the shadowy world of espionage by the great spymaster Maxwell Knight. Roberts penetrated first the Communist Party and then the British Union of Fascists, before playing his greatest role for MI5 - as Hitler's man in London. Codenamed Jack King, he single-handedly built a network of hundreds of British Nazi sympathisers, with many passing secrets to him in the mistaken belief that he was a Gestapo officer.

If you then asked what he did, you would have less success. Those who knew didn''t tell, and almost no one really knew at all.Clarke thought of himself as developing a new kind of weapon. Its components? Rumour, stagecraft, a sense of fun. Its target? The mind of Erwin Rommel, Hitler''s greatest general. Throughout history, military commanders have sought to mislead their opponents. Dudley Clarke set out to do it on a scale no one had imagined before. Even afterwards, almost no one understood the magnitude of his achievement. Drawing on recently released documents and hugely expanding on the louche portrait of Clarke as seen in SAS: Rogue Heroes, journalist and historian Robert Hutton reveals the amazing story of Clarke''s A Force, the invention of the SAS and the Commandos, and the masterful hoodwinking of the Desert Fox at the battle of El Alamein.

''a brilliant history'' The Sunday Times ''makes for riveting reading'' The IndependentModern pagan witchcraft is arguably the only fully-formed religion England has given the world, and has now spread across four continents.This second edition of The Triumph of the Moon extensively revises the first full-scale scholarly study of modern pagan witchcraft. Ronald Hutton examines the nature and development of this religion, and offers a history of attitudes to witchcraft, paganism and magic in British society since 1800. Its pages reveal village cunning folk, Victorian ritual magicians, classicists and archaeologists, leaders of woodcraft and scouting movements, Freemasons, and members of rural secret societies. We also find some of the leading figures of English literature, from the Romantic poets to W. B. Yeats, D. H. Lawrence and Robert Graves, as well as the main personalities who have represented pagan witchcraft to the public world since 1950. Thriller writers like Dennis Wheatley, and films and television programmes, get similar coverage, as does tabloid journalism. The material is by its nature often sensational, and care is taken throughout to distinguish fact from fantasy, in a manner not previously applied to most of the stories involved. Meticulously researched, The Triumph of the Moon presents an ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Britain''s Brexit voters are right. They have been shamefully neglected. But the answer is to change Britain, not to leave Europe. This book sets out how we can radically improve the lives of people and communities shut out from prosperity.The EU, despite its frailties and strains, is a success story.The advantages of leaving are illusory: no gains in trade from deals with protectionist China and the United States can compensate for what is being lost in Europe. Britain is weakening a pillar of the world''s diplomatic and trade order at the same time as weakening itself - an act of self-harm, especially when so many countries are retreating from democracy, free trade and progressive values.In Saving Britain Will Hutton and Andrew Adonis set out a bold plan to transform Britain and fight for Europe as a force for good at home and abroad.

The second volume in an acclaimed biography of Oliver Cromwell, from the capture of Charles I to the expulsion of the Long Parliament  In 1647, the Parliamentarians were divided. They had won the first civil war and the king was in custody, but disagreements over the way forward had led to a stalemate. As the leader of one party, Oliver Cromwell found himself again at the centre of events.  In the second volume of his pioneering biography, Ronald Hutton traces Cromwell’s career from 1647 through to his seizure of supreme power. These decisive years saw the execution of Charles I and the establishment of the Commonwealth of England, as well as notorious and savage campaigns in Ireland and Scotland. Cromwell’s political and military leadership were well honed after years of practice, but this was also the period of his greatest ruthlessness and brutality.  This groundbreaking account reveals a different kind of Cromwell, showing how he navigated the many forces ranged against him—and rose to the pinnacle of his power.

London has a history that emerges from the mist of time some 1500 years ago and is one that evolves yet never ends. It has always been a breeding ground for crime as people from around the world are drawn by its numerous attractions and opportunities. Each generation has produced its own colourful cast of robbers, murderers and fraudsters. Much of the crime was prompted by poverty and foul living conditions, but the main driver has always been the desire or need for money by whatever means and the risks involved. Until the eighteenth century this often involved a trip to perform ‘the Tyburn jig’ in front of a baying crowd of thousands. For a time Londoners staggered around in a gin-induced haze. Mothers often abandoned or even sold their children, just for a chance to block out the horrors of a seething London. The lanes and alleys around Covent Garden were lined with prostitutes, many still children. Famous beauties were kept by aristocrats and royalty and referred to as courtesans, although in many cases the dividing line between them and their less fortunate sisters lining the streets was thin indeed. The ending of the Great War saw the appearance ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Renomovaný vědec Gerald Hüther předkládá nejnovější a fascinující poznatky z oblasti neurobiologie do srozumitelné řeči a poukazuje na to, jaký konkrétní prospěch z těchto skutečností vyplývá pro život jeho čtenářů. V oblasti moderního zkoumání mozku byly učiněny průkopnické objevy. Pojem "plasticita lidského mozku" značí, že mozek je orgánem, který je schopen se po celý život měnit, obnovovat a přizpůsobovat. Dokonce ani masa mozkových buněk není, jak se dříve vědci domnívali, pevně daná, ale může se během života dokonce zvětšit. Podle nejnovějších vědeckých poznatků má způsob, jakým mozek používáme, rozhodující vliv na to, která nervová propojení v něm vzniknou a jak se později stabilizují nebo destabilizují. Potom se tedy vnitřní struktura mozku přizpůsobuje svému konkrétnímu použití. Je-li však mozek takový, jak jej používáme a doteď jsme používali, vzniká otázka, jak s ním pak musíme nakládat, abychom mohli odhalit všechny možnosti, které nám skýtá. Čtivou a obraznou řečí sleduje neurobiolog Gerald Hüther komplex těchto otázek a dostává se k poznáním, která otřásají dosavadním nazíráním na svět a která nás nutí, abychom převzali něco, co jsme doposud rádi přenechávali jiným instancím: zodpovědnost.

Kniha vypráví o šestiměsíční cestě, kterou v roce 1957 podnikli Gerald Durrell s manželkou do tehdejšího Britského Kamerunu, aby si, jak říká autor, nachytali vlastní zoologickou zahradu.

Tenhle problém se dal řešit jen jediným způsobem – zařídit si vlastní zoo. S vládcem stepního království Bafutu, s kterým ho pojilo dávné přátelství, přitom vypil nejednu sklenku whisky.
