Tři příběhy tří domorodých kmenů Rukai, Atayal a Pangcah (Amis) nás vrací zpět na počátek ke kořenům tchajwanské domorodé kultury. Tchaj-wan známý též pod názvem Formosa, neboli Krásný ostrov, leží v Tichém oceánu nedaleko čínské provincie Fu-ťien, mezi Filipínami a Japonskem. Zde jej omývá teplý mořský proud Kurošio, který k jeho břehům přináší bohatý mořský život. Hornatý ostrov ležící na pomezí tropického a subtropického podnebného pásu je nejen domovem řady unikátních endemických druhů, ale i domorodých kmenů melanésko-polynéského původu, jejichž kultura vyrůstá v těsném sepjetí s místní přírodou. Příběhy původního obyvatelstva se prochází levharti obláčkoví, černí medvědi ušatí či obávané zmije, jakými jsou ploskolebci nosorozí. Kmeny s nimi uzavírají své pokrevní svazky. Čelenky náčelníků zase zdobí peří bažantů mikádo. Boje, které bojovníci svádí, se vedou proti nelítostným Sluncím nebo obludám, které ohrožují život kmene a teprve s velkým úsilím je lze překonat. Bohatě ilustrovaná kniha dává nahlédnout do ústní tradice melanésko-polynéských kmenů a je určena čtenářům každého věku, od těch nejmenších až po ty nejstarší.

Kniha vyšla na základe najslavnejšieho záhadologického televízneho seriálu, ktorý bol u nás pred dvadsiatimi rokmi vysielaný s mimoriadnym úspechom.Za hranicami sveta, ktorý môžeme merať a analyzovať, je ešte iný, tajomnejší svet. A práve "nadvedecký" svet pre nás v tejto knihe odhaľuje Arthur C. Clarke, ktorého brilantné prorocké a varovné poviedky čítajú milióny ľudí. Na jeho pokyn precestovali Simon Welfare a John Fairley päť svetadielov, aby spovedali svedkov podivných udalostí a nevysvetliteľných javov. Zhovárali sa s mužmi aj ženami, ktorí videli obludy z hlbín oceánov a jazier, s tými, na ktorých padali z nebies žaby a ryby, ale aj s tými, ktorí videli "neidentifikovateľné lietajúce objekty" (UFO), krížujúce nočnú oblohu v oslnivom jase, hovorili taktiež s cestovateľmi a horalmi, ktorí zahliadli yettiho, snežného muža, dlho ignorované ako produkt fantázie, i jeho bratranca, "Veľkú stopu", ktorý sa zakráda severoamerickými lesmi. Hrozivejšie udalosti boli okrem toho vyhodnocované v nádeji, že môžeme zhromaždiť také svedectvá, ktoré môžu zabrániť budúcej katastrofe. Ohnivý predmet z nebies, ktorý v roku 1908 zničil rozsiahle územie sibírskej tajgy, mohol koniec koncov zrovnať so zemou Paríž, New York, alebo Londýn: kedy máme čakať ďalšiu návštevu?

Cities and countries engulfed by panic and death, desperate for vaccines but fearful of what inoculation may bring. This is what the world has just gone through with Covid-19. But as Simon Schama shows in his epic history of vulnerable humanity caught between the terror of contagion and the ingenuity of science, it has happened before.Characteristically, with Schama the message is delivered through gripping, page-turning stories set in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: smallpox strikes London; cholera hits Paris; plague comes to India. Threading through the scenes of terror, suffering and hope - in hospitals and prisons, palaces and slums - are an unforgettable cast of characters: a philosopher-playwright burning up with smallpox in a country chateau; a vaccinating doctor paying house calls in Halifax; a woman doctor in south India driving her inoculator-carriage through the stricken streets as dead monkeys drop from the trees. But we are also in the labs when great, life-saving breakthroughs happen, in Paris, Hong Kong and Mumbai.At the heart of it all, an unsung hero: Waldemar Haffkine. A gun-toting Jewish student in Odesa turned microbiologist at the Pasteur Institute, hailed in England as 'the saviour of mankind' for vaccinating millions against cholera and bubonic plague in British India while being cold-shouldered by the medical establishment of the Raj. Creator of the world's first mass production line of vaccines in Mumbai he is tragically brought down in an act of shocking injustice.Foreign Bodies crosses borders between east and west, Asia and Europe, the worlds of rich and poor, politics and science. Its thrilling story carries with it the credo of its author on the interconnectedness of humanity and nature; of the powerful and the people. Ultimately, Schama says, as we face the challenges of our times together, 'there are no foreigners, only familiars'.

Rebel Music is a tribute to one of the greatest legends in world music, Bob Marley. In 1975, Kate Simon first photographed Bob Marley and the Wailers at the Lyceum in London, where the now-legendary live performance of ‘No Woman No Cry’ was recorded. They then collaborated throughout the Seventies, with Simon shooting some of the most intimate, enduring and emblematic images ever taken of Marley, including his iconic Kaya album cover. Simon captured it all: portraits of the reggae greats of the Seventies, such as Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh; the Exodus Tour, on the road with Bob Marley and The Wailers as they performed across Europe; and the One Love Peace Concert, where Bob famously united Jamaica’s opposing political leaders. Ultimately, in 1981, Simon would ride with the funeral cortege from Kingston to St Ann and Bob Marley’s final resting place. Rebel Music contains over 400 photographs from Simon’s archives, many published here for the first time. Introduced by Patti Smith, with a foreword by Lenny Kravitz and afterword by Keith Richards, a cast of 24 contributors join Simon in sharing the stories behind the images, including ex-Wailers guitarist Junior Marvin and bass player and band leader Aston ‘Family Man’ Barrett; musicians such as Junior Delgado, Steve Jordan, Paul Simonon and Bruce Springsteen; filmmaker Don Letts and producer Danny Sims; and Island Records founder, Chris Blackwell.

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER DEAR LIFE AND BREATHTAKING, A MAJOR TV DRAMA''Profoundly moving and at the same time wildly inspiring'' Rob Delaney''The best narrative non-fiction I''ve read in years. Rachel Clarke has written a profound piece of investigative journalism and wrapped it up in poetry'' Christie WatsonThe first of our organs to form, the last to die, the heart is both a simple pump and the symbol of all that makes us human: as long as it continues to beat, we hope. One summer day, nine-year-old Keira suffered catastrophic injuries in a car accident. Though her brain and the rest of her body began to shut down, her heart continued to beat. In an act of extraordinary generosity, Keira''s parents and siblings agreed that she would have wanted to be an organ donor. Meanwhile nine-year-old Max had been hospitalised for nearly a year with a virus that was causing his young heart to fail. When Max''s parents received the call they had been hoping for, they knew it came at a terrible cost to another family. This is the unforgettable story of how one family''s grief transformed into a lifesaving gift. With tremendous compassion and clarity, Dr Rachel Clarke relates the urgent journey of Keira''s heart and explores the history of the remarkable medical innovations that made it possible, stretching back over a century and involving the knowledge and dedication not just of surgeons but of countless physicians, immunologists, nurses and scientists.The Story of a Heart is a testament to compassion for the dying, the many ways we honour our loved ones, and the tenacity of love.

Two magicians shall appear in England. The first shall fear me; the second shall long to behold me The year is 1806. England is beleaguered by the long war with Napoleon, and centuries have passed since practical magicians faded into the nation's past. But scholars of this glorious history discover that one remains: the reclusive Mr Norrell whose displays of magic send a thrill through the country. Proceeding to London, he raises a beautiful woman from the dead and summons an army of ghostly ships to terrify the French. Yet the cautious, fussy Norrell is challenged by the emergence of another magician: the brilliant novice Jonathan Strange. Young, handsome and daring, Strange is the very opposite of Norrell. So begins a dangerous battle between these two great men which overwhelms the one between England and France. And their own obsessions and secret dabblings with the dark arts are going to cause more trouble than they can imagine.

In AD 843, the three surviving grandsons of the great Emperor Charlemagne met at Verdun. After years of bitter squabbles over who would inherit the family land, they finally decided to divide the territory and go their separate ways. In a moment of staggering significance, one grandson inherited what became France, another Germany and the third Lotharingia: the chunk that initially divided the other two. The dynamic between these three great zones has dictated much of our subsequent fate.In this beguiling, hilarious and compelling book we retrace how both from west and from east any number of ambitious characters have tried and failed to grapple with these Lotharingians, who ultimately became Dutch, German, Belgian, French, Luxembourgers and Swiss. Over many centuries, not only has Lotharingia brought forth many of Europe's greatest artists, inventors and thinkers, but it has also reduced many a would-be conqueror to helpless tears of rage and frustration. Joining Germania and Danubia in Simon Winder's endlessly fascinating retelling of European history, Lotharingia is a personal, wonderful and gripping story.

From their first appearance on Renaissance maps, linear tracks representing maritime voyages have shaped the way we see the world. But why do we depict journeys as lines, and what is their deeper meaning? Ferdinand Magellan's route to the Pacific embodied the promise of adventure and colonisation, while the scientific charts of the Royal Navy inspired others to plan conquests, navigate treacherous waters and establish settlements across the oceans.In Tracks on the Ocean, prize-winning historian Sara Caputo charts a hidden history of the modern world through the tracks left on maps and the sea. Taking us from ancient Greek itineraries to twenty-first-century digital mapping, via the voyages of Drake and Cook, the decks of Napoleonic warships and the boiler rooms of ocean liners, Caputo reveals how marks on maps have changed the course of modernity.

In Firmament, atmospheric scientist and science communicator Simon Clark offers a rare and accessible tour of the ins and outs of the atmosphere and how we know what we know about it. From the workings of its different layers to why carbon dioxide is special, from pioneers like Pascal to the unsung heroes working in the field to help us understand climate change, Firmament introduces us to an oft-overlooked area of science and not only lays the ground work for us to better understand the debates surrounding the climate today, but also provides a glimpse of the future that is possible with this knowledge in hand.__________

Elektronická kniha - autor Iva Šmídová, 164 stran, anglicky Kniha se zabývá současnou reprodukční medicínou v České republice. Vychází přitom z analýzy instituce biomedicíny jako konkrétního projevu normalizace moderní společnosti v rámci současného přístupu ke zdraví a nemoci. Zaměřuje se na tři specifické oblasti reprodukční medicíny: porody, asistovanou reprodukci a manipulaci s DNA a embryi. Autorky chtějí zaplnit mezeru v kritické reflexi těchto témat v českém kontextu a otevřít o nich debatu. Zaměřují se na témata každodenní praxe reprodukční medicíny a snaží se odpovídat i na obecnější otázky: Jak jsou udržovány hranice mezi normalitou/legitimitou a abnormalitou/nelegitimitou v rámci tří konkrétních polí reprodukční medicíny? Jakým způsobem je ustavována důvěra v systém moderní reprodukční medicíny? A jak do tohoto procesu vstupují kategorie genderu, statusu, etnicity?
