But our growing demand is not sustainable. Production of just five materials – steel, aluminium, paper, plastics and cement – accounts for 55% of industrial emissions, and demand for materials will double by 2050. Can we continue to live well but use less materials? So far people have considered the problem with only one eye open, hoping for a magic solution (such as carbon capture and storage). But with both eyes open we have a whole new set of options. Rather than making more materials, we can use them more wisely – with less material, keeping them for longer, re-using their parts and more.

Why life’s shortness—more than anything else—is what makes it meaningfulDeath might seem to render pointless all our attempts to create a meaningful life. Doesn’t meaning require transcending death through an afterlife or in some other way? On the contrary, Dean Rickles argues, life without death would be like playing tennis without a net. Only constraints—and death is the ultimate constraint—make our actions meaningful. In Life Is Short, Rickles explains why the finiteness and shortness of life is the essence of its meaning—and how this insight is the key to making the most of the time we do have. Life Is Short explores how death limits our options and forces us to make choices that forge a life and give the world meaning. But people often live in a state of indecision, in a misguided attempt to keep their options open. This provisional way of living—always looking elsewhere, to the future, to other people, to other ways of being, and never committing to what one has or, alternatively, putting in the time and energy to achieve what one wants—is a big mistake, and Life Is Short tells readers how to avoid this trap.

John R Hume is Scotland’s foremost expert on industrial heritage. John’s greatest passion was – and is – industry. Over the course of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, he took over 25,000 photographs of late-industrial and post-industrial Scotland. His collection is a remarkable portrait of a way of life that has now all but vanished. His drive to act as a witness to Scotland’s industrial empire, and its steady disintegration, took him to every corner of the country.John’s photography produces an exhaustive and objective record. Yet it also reveals remarkable and poignant glimpses of domestic life – children playing in factory ruins, high-rises emerging on the city skylines, working men and women dwarfed by the incredible scale of an already crumbling industrial infrastructure.In A Life of Industry, author Daniel Gray tells John’s story, and the story of what has been lost – and preserved.

A year later she took a solo trip from San Francisco to the Rocky Mountains. ''I dreamt of bears so vividly I woke with a furry death-hug at the my throat, but feeling quite refreshed.'' The intrepid journeys of the indefatigable Miss Bird are relayed here in the delightful letters she wrote to her sister. They tell of ''truly grand'' isolated wilderness and abundant wildlife, of small remote townships of her encounters with rattlesnakes, wolves and grizzly bears and her reactions to the volatile passions of the miners and pioneer settlers.

The works of Shakespeare have become staples of literature. They are everywhere, from our early schooling to the lecture rooms of academia, from classic theatre to modern adaptations on stage and screen. But how well do we really know his plays?In this witty, iconoclastic book, the bestselling author Fintan O’Toole examines four of Shakespeare’s most enduring tragedies: Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello and King Lear. He shows how their tragic heroes have been over-simplified and moulded to fit restrictive, conservative values, and restores the true heart and spirit of the classics.''I''ve never read a book like this before: it''s challenging, irreverent and funny.''

Audiokniha: PRVNÍ ROZHLASOVÁ HRA VYSÍLANÁ PO 70 LETECH ŽIVĚ 17. 9. 2017 „Obstarali jsme si i zelnou hlávku, abychom mohli zachytit samotný okamžik vraždy“ Artur Conan Doyle: SHERLOCK HOLMES ve státních službách Sherlock Holmes: Honza Hájek John Watson: Pavel Batěk Fama Quartet Dále účinkují: Marika Procházková, Lukáš Příkazký, Jana Boušková, Tomáš Pavelka, Ladislav Hampl, Jiří Hána a Hanuš Bor Reportáž: Tomáš Černý Režie: Vít Vencl Povídka Bruce-Partingtonovy dokumenty vyšla časopisecky v roce 1908. Během první světové války ji Arthur Conan Doyle zařadil do knihy Poslední poklona Sherlocka Holmese (1917), zřejmě i díky jejímu vlasteneckému podtextu. Později ji zahrnul i do seznamu svých nejoblíbenějších povídek. Čtyři mikrofony, u kterých se střídají herci, kout pro ruchaře a muzikanti strčení v díře... Naposledy se takhle u nás rozhlasová hra vysílala v roce 1948. Retro spojení snad nejklasičtější detektivky a dřevního způsobu natáčení se zdá velmi inspirativní. A to nejen kvůli blízkosti časů zrodu, ale především obdobným potenciálem hravosti a nadhledu. „V přímém přenosu vytvoříme ve vinohradském Studiu 2 s pomocí ruchařů i přítomných diváků ulice Londýna, byt v Baker Street i restauraci, kde se Sherlock schází s dr. Watsonem. Při odhalování vraha budeme přelézat zdi, rozbíjet okna i páčit pokladny,“ slibuje režisér inscenace ... Unknown localization key: "more"
