A NEW CHILDREN’S BOOK FROM THE PUBLISHER WHO BROUGHT YOU"THE INVISIBLE STRING"What inspires people to create? Whether it’s a painting, a story, a new invention, a recipe, or even a simple little song, the inspiration to begin must start somewhere. But where?On one cold, winter night in Lullaby Valley, an old composer was determined to write a new song, but he couldn’t find the notes in his heart no matter how hard he searched. He fussed, scribbled, and paced the floor, but all he found was a handful of awkward notes that refused to “sing.” So he gazed out to the night sky.In a small town many miles away on that same night, a little boy squirmed and kicked his blankets, unable to sleep. That’s when his mother came in to help him rest, and with her soft voice, she sang a song while they both looked up to the stars.What happens next is a story to help kids young and old find their creative inspiration and share it with others, even if it’s just a simple little song. You see, the old composer and the faraway mother soon found their creative spirit from the same night sky. Lullaby Valley ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The publishing house of John Murray was founded in Fleet Street in 1768 and remained a family firm over seven generations. Published to coincide with this ''remarkable achievement'' and in the anniversary year, Dear Mr Murray is a collection of some of the best letters from the hundreds of thousands held in the John Murray Archive. They reveal not only the story of some of the most interesting and influential books in history but also the remarkable friendships - as well as occasional animosities - between author and publisher, as well as readers, editors, printers and illustrators.Despite the incredible number of letters that were retained by the Murray family, some failed to arrive, others were delayed and some barely survived, but longevity added to the reputation and fame of John Murray and a correspondent in Canada who addressed his letter merely to ''John Murray, The World-wide famous Book & Publishing House, London, England'' as early as 1932 could be confident that his letter would arrive.Intended to entertain and inspire, and spanning more than two hundred years, Dear Mr Murray is full of literary history and curiosities: from Charles Darwin''s response to the negative reviews of On the Origin of Species ...

The first appearance of this award-winning writer''s work since the 1940s, this collection, which includes an introduction by John Ashbery, restores Joan Murray''s striking poetry to its originally intended form.Though John Ashbery hailed Joan Murray as a key influence on his work, Murray’s sole collection, Poems, published after her death at the early age of twenty-four and selected by W. H. Auden for inclusion in the Yale Series of Younger Poets, has been almost entirely unavailable for the better part of half a century. Poems was put together by Grant Code, a close friend of Murray’s mother, and when Murray’s papers, long thought to be lost, reappeared in 2013, it became clear that Code had exercised a heavy editorial hand. This new collection, edited by Farnoosh Fathi from Murray’s original manuscripts, restores Murray’s raw lyricism and visionary lines, while also including a good deal of previously unpublished work, as well as a selection of her exuberant letters.

Don Matzat here provides a new perspective on the life of Katherine Parr, the sixth and final wife of the infamous Henry VIII. While most biographers suggest that Katherine chose to marry the obese, irascible monarch in order to further some reformation or obey a divine imperative, the author goes against the tide and concludes that Katherine was an opportunist who married the king in order to enjoy the comforts of being the Queen of England, proven by her sumptuous lifestyle.But everything changed for Katherine when she had a dramatic conversion experience, embracing the primary tenets of the Protestant Reformation as described in her seminal work, The Lamentation of a Sinner. Her newly found belief placed her in a precarious position, not only with her husband but with the heresy hunters who, with the king’s blessing, beheaded those who held such beliefs. Yet Katherine had the courage to discuss her faith with her dangerous husband during the final months of his life.The life of Katherine Parr was one of drama, intrigue, danger, deceit, clandestine romance, scandal, tragedy and mystery.

He takes readers on a harrowing journey through the aftermath of the 7th October massacre, piecing together the exclusive accounts from victims, survivors and even the terrorists responsible for the atrocities.

Writings of certain nineteenth and twentieth-century historians continue to colour our perceptions of the past, but is the picture of Katherine Howard painted by some of them necessarily fair? Was she really a neglected young girl set up by an unscrupulous family to enable them to exercise control over Henry VIII, or a secure teenager brought up in the home of her illustrious step-grandmother, the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk, who treated her well? Ultimately, was her untimely death the fault of others or the result of Katherine’s own ill-advised choices?Through original research and use of primary sources, Queen Katherine and the Howards: A Tudor Family on the Brink of Disaster examines the Howards’ journey from practising law in East Anglia to their elevation to the dukedom of Norfolk by Richard III and, following the Yorkist defeat at Bosworth, their decades of service and loyalty to the fledgling Tudor dynasty. The final weeks of Katherine Howard’s short life, presented as a day-to-day narrative, enables the reader to appreciate how terrifyingly quickly the old duchess and Katherine’s associates, most involved against their wishes, were rounded up and consigned to the Tower for concealing what they knew of her lively past.

Douglas Murray odvážně popisuje a jasně vysvětluje tragické problémy, které se vynořily v západním světě jako důsledek ztráty orientace a smyslu lidské existence. Vznikla nová utopická ideologie společenské spravedlnosti, jež nesmiřitelně prosazuje radikální přestavbu společnosti na základě domnělých práv rasových a sexuálních menšin (i většinových žen). Tato ideologie proniká do hlavního proudu politiky, ovládla veřejný diskurz a stala se novou státní legitimitou. Je však zmatená a absurdní, a tak vede doslova k masovému šílenství. Jak píše Murray: "Vypjaté projevy znechucení na veřejnosti i v soukromí se opakují stále častěji, lidé se chovají jako v horečce, reagují stádně, anebo jako by si potřebovali nepřetržitě a vulgárně ulevovat. Každodenní zprávy nám předkládají důsledky takového chování, ale příčiny nám unikají." Na straně "progresivistů" vystupují globální americké firmy, zejména Google, Amazon, Twitter a Facebook, jež získaly moc "určovat lidem, co mají znát, o čem přemýšlet a mluvit”. Autor popisuje paradoxy a protimluvy tohoto šílenství, které se snaží potlačit normální zdravý rozum (např. výrokem, že ženy a muži jsou stejní). Murray rozebírá matoucí ideologii a její novořeč: "komunita LBGTQ", "bělošské privilegium", "toxické mužství" nebo "transfobie" a nabízí možnost, jak se nenechat ovládnout takzvanou "politickou korektností”, jež je naprosto scestná.

Už delší dobu to vypadá, že se na Západě hroutí snášenlivá společnost humánních civilizačních zásad, které jí dosud zajišťovaly soudržnost a rozvoj. Média podléhají cenzuře politické ideologie "sociální spravedlnosti” a univerzity indoktrinují mládež revoluční vizí nové společnosti. "Všechno, co jsme pokládali za rozumné a dané”, píše Murray, "se nyní nachází pod palbou nenávistné kritiky”. Máme-li i tentokrát zvítězit nad fašismem a komunismem, musíme demaskovat vnitřního nepřítele. Není to snadné, pseudoprogresivistické hnutí "uvědomělých (woke)” bojůvek používá proměnlivý jazyk utopické "absolutní rovnosti rasových a sexuálních menšin” a svou novořečí dokáže posluchače často zmást. V útoku na západní civilizaci zneužívá americký komplex z otrokářství ("Na černošských životech záleží!”) a obviněním z rasismu útočí na liberální politickou tradici, západní filosofii, literaturu, umění a dokonce i exaktní vědy jako na pozůstatky rasistické imperialistické politiky "bílých mrtvých mužů”, kterou je nutno od základu vyvrátit a vybudovat novou, spravedlivou, multikulturní a beztřídní společnost. Murray dramaticky líčí, jak ideologie anti-rasismu pronikla do myšlení západní elity, jak ovlivňuje chod škol a institucí, pracovní zákony i veřejnou debatu. Padají sochy zakladatelů americké svobody a hrdinů občanské války. Absurdní obvinění bílé rasy z vrozeného nevyléčitelného rasismu ohrožuje legitimitu a soudržnost multietnického národa.

In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it?It's become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers.

The Golden Valley is a personal account in words and photographs of the Garw where Phil Cope has lived for thirty-five years. In it he explores the valley’s history: sparsely worked agriculture; boom-town coal exploitation; sudden, followed by gentle, post-industrial decline; attempts at re-invigoration through heritage and leisure; and now, existing in a post-covid world. This is a classic example of close-knit communities shattered by the removal of the thing that bound them together.Cope photographs the entire valley between March 2019 and January 2021, to create a contemporary, twenty-first century record. The ancient Garw hilltops above the valley, sometimes snow-capped, with their tombs and lost settlements are present. As are the much more recent settlements of the coal villages with their terraces once occupied by colliers, the repurposed miners’ institutes, the shops and chapels, and the now almost obligatory public memorials to a lost industry (and, in some cases, lost lives).The valley’s natural beauty – some might say returning natural beauty – is also present, from the minutiae of the lichen on its windswept trees to the river which has shaped the valley with its timeless flow.

By 1928, she was so intelligent and skilled at math that she was able to skip several grades and start high school at age ten! And while Katherine had to deal with racism, segregation, and prejudice throughout her life, she did not let this hold her back from becoming a mathematician. In 1953, she started working as a "human computer" at America''s space agency, now known as NASA.

"The book is a highly personal and readable account of a profound change in the author's outlook: one that grew gradually over the course of decades but has lately blossomed..."—The Wall Street Journal“Millions are like me when it comes to religion: well-educated and successful people for whom religion has been irrelevant,” Charles Murray writes. “For them, I think I have a story worth telling.” Taking Religion Seriously is Murray’s autobiographical account of the decades-long evolution in his stance toward the idea of God in general and Christianity in particular. He argues that religion is something that can be approached as an intellectual exercise. His account moves from the improbable physics of the Big Bang to recent discoveries about the nature of consciousness, from evolutionary psychology to hypotheses about a universal Moral Law. His exploration of Christianity delves into the authorship of the Gospels, the reliability of biblical texts, and the scholarship surrounding the resurrection story. Murray, the author of Coming Apart and coauthor of The Bell Curve, does not write as an expert. He acknowledges that those taking religion seriously for the first time, like himself, must grapple with topics and ideas that defy intellectual mastery. In this book, Murray ...
