That promise has come and gone for three years with still no end in sight, and her days continue in a monotony of rations and threads while she spins a dream of becoming Liberty''s first female pattern designer. She hasn''t the time or interest in rakish soldiers, but the temporarily-on-leave Captain Rex Conrad is persistent--and before long his charm wins her over.

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"

Part autobiography, part travelogue, and wholly a tribute to the unspoilt beauty of southern Spain, Gerald Brenan''s South from Granada includes an introduction by Chris Stewart, author of the bestselling Driving Over Lemons, in Penguin Modern Classics.Between 1920 and 1934, Gerald Brenan lived in the remote Spanish village of Yegen and South of Granada depicts his time there, vividly evoking the essence of his rural surroundings and the Spanish way of life before the Civil War. Here he portrays the landscapes, festivals and folk-lore of the Sierra Nevada, the rivalries, romances and courtship rituals, village customs, superstitions and characters. Fascinating details emerge, from cheap brothels to archaeological remains, along with visits from Brenan''s friends from the Bloomsbury group - Lytton Strachey and Virginia Woolf among them.

Geraldine Brook''s Nine Parts of Desire is a fascinatingly rich portrait of a little-known world that lifts the veil on the lives of Islamic womenThis is the insightful, thought-provoking and at times humorous story of Geraldine Brooks'' quest to discover the truth about women and Islam.From adopting a chador as camouflage to taking meetings with Queen Noor of Jordan and former Iranian President Rafsanjani''s daughter, the author and journalist went undercover and deep into the heart of another culture. She met with Palestinians protesting about ''honour killings'' for adultery and sheltered girls transformed into warriors by the Emirates'' armed forces. Throughout the Middle East, Brooks was invited into the homes and lives of these women where she found real stories that overturn western stereotypes. Fair-minded and often revelatory, Nine Parts of Desire is an extraordinarily rich tapestry of the different lives women lead under Islam, and a captivating and diverse portrait of a little known world. This is reportage at its best.Geraldine Brooks is an award-winning author and journalist. She has written several books of fiction and non-fiction, including the international bestselling novel Year of Wonders and more recently March, which won the Pulitzer. She lives in rural Virginia.

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.

A luscious celebration of vintage scarves, from Dior to Delaunay, from a designer’s magnificent collectionFor nearly 20 years now, French art director and scarf designer Benoit Pierre Emery has been collecting silk scarves—perhaps the ultimate fashion accessory—exploring boutiques and flea markets to amass an astounding assortment of 10,000 pieces (and growing). Carré: A Vintage Scarf Collection presents around 6,500 of these scarves, which Emery acquires according to their individual aesthetic merit, not the prestige of the brand that may be printed on them—many pieces remain tantalizingly anonymous, even as others boast the names of renowned fashion houses (Dior, Hermès, Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Balenciaga) and great artists (Picasso, Sonia Delaunay, Victor Vasarely, Enzo Mari).From geometric rhythms to psychedelic designs, from Minimalism to the explosive colors of Pop art and the optical games of Kinetic art, Carré sweeps through many artistic trends from the postwar period to the 1980s. Showing the scarves both in full-page reproductions and in grids, the book gives us an up-close look at the textures and compositions of individual pieces, as well as allowing us to trace patterns, colors and trends across the collection.

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.

Audiokniha: Nejdřív zvířata, až potom zoo! Kniha vypráví o šestiměsíční cestě, kterou v roce 1957 podnikli Gerald Durrell s manželkou do západní Afriky, aby získali zvířata pro vlastní zoo. 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. Britský zoolog strávil mnoho let odchytem divokých a ohrožených zvířat pro jiná zoo, ale vždy mu přišlo líto, když se s nimi po měsících neumdlévající péče a starostí musel rozloučit. 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. Tedy slovy afrického krále: „Ať složí. Nasraví!“

Scholar, churchman, diplomat and theologian, Gerald of Wales was one of the most fascinating figures of the Middle Ages and The Journey Through Wales describes his eventful tour of the country as a missionary in 1188.

Witty and gently humorous throughout, these works provide a unique view into the medieval world.

His other books include ‘Birds, Beasts and Relatives’, ‘The Bafut Beagles’ and ‘A Zoo in My Luggage’.Above all, he paved the way in print for the popular presentation of the natural world on television and presented twelve series himself – the early ones, of his own expeditions. Sir David Attenborough has said: ‘He was responsible for changing people’s attitudes to zoology and changing their agenda. He showed them small animals could be as interesting as apes and elephants…He was a pioneer with a marvellous sense of humour.’His brother was the famous writer Lawrence Durrell.

During the war, Gerald Hanley spent several years in the remote and scorching deserts of Somalia. The rigours of living in such heat, and the difficulties of attempting to control blood-feuding nomads, led to the suicide of seven fellow-officers. Despite these problems, Gerald Hanley writes with great affection for the local clans, an affection that is untainted by sentimentality. "Of all the races of Africa, there cannot be one better to live among than the most difficult, the proudest, the bravest, the vainest, the most merciless, the friendliest: the Somalis."

Award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Gerald Posner reveals the heroes and villains of the trillion-dollar-a-year pharmaceutical industry and delivers “a withering and encyclopedic indictment of a drug industry that often seems to prioritize profits over patients” (The New York Times Book Review).Pharmaceutical breakthroughs such as anti­biotics and vaccines rank among some of the greatest advancements in human history. Yet exorbitant prices for life-saving drugs, safety recalls affecting tens of millions of Americans, and soaring rates of addiction and overdose on pre­scription opioids have caused many to lose faith in drug companies. Now, Americans are demanding a national reckoning with a monolithic industry. “Gerald’s dogged reporting, sets Pharma apart from all books on this subject” (The Washington Standard) as we are introduced to brilliant scientists, incorruptible government regulators, and brave whistleblowers facing off against company exec­utives often blinded by greed. A business that profits from treating ills can create far deadlier problems than it cures. Addictive products are part of the industry’s DNA, from the days when corner drugstores sold morphine, heroin, and cocaine, to the past two decades of dangerously overprescribed opioids.
