Puffins is packed with eye-catching, informative colour photos and features succinct, detailed text written by a knowledgeable expert.Enduringly popular, Puffins are perhaps our most iconic species of bird, and are the most immediately identifiable of seabirds with their decorative bills and clown-like gait. Yet when they take to the air they wheel and turn with great agility and underwater these stocky little birds use short specially adapted wings to propel themselves through the water in pursuit of small fish.Surprisingly little was known about Puffin ecology until recently thanks to their preferred breeding habitat being underground on remote islands or hard-to-reach coastlines. Now Euan Dunn discloses all we have learnt about them as a result of technological advances, and provides a revealing account of their life cycle, behaviour and breeding, what they eat, how they interact in their busy colonies, and where they migrate to in winter. Euan also exposes the mounting threats Puffins face and offers advice on the best places to see them.Each Spotlight title is carefully designed to introduce readers to the lives and behaviour of our favourite birds and mammals.

Madeleine Albrightové nebylo ještě ani dvanáct, a už na vlastní oči viděla několik dějinných dramat — nacistickou okupaci rodného Československa, bombardování Londýna, kam se její rodina uchýlila do exilu, vítězství Spojenců ve druhé světové válce, vzestup komunismu a počátek studené války. V Pražské zimě nyní Madeleine Albrightová líčí právě těch bouřlivých dvanáct let. Vychází přitom z někdejších dětských zážitků i ze své politické a akademické erudice, mísí rodinné vzpomínky a písemné dokumenty se záznamy aktérů tehdejšího dění a předkládá čtenářům působivou dějinnou fresku i niterné svědectví. Tyto dva póly jejího vyprávění se neustále doplňují i svářejí: autorka zkoumá minulost z hlediska nadčasových dilemat a zároveň vypráví velice osobní příběh s univerzálním dopadem. Kniha zavede čtenáře z Pražského hradu do londýnských protileteckých krytů, z bezútěšného terezínského ghetta na zasedání předních světových státníků; Madeleine Albrightová se tu zamýšlí nad svým židovským původem, o němž se dozvěděla až ve zralém věku, rozebírá komplikovanou českou historii i nelehká mravní rozhodnutí, s nimiž se musela vyrovnávat generace jejích rodičů. Na základě svědectví současníků ukazuje, jak byly miliony obyčejných lidí vytrženy z rodinného prostředí a ocitly se v rolích exilových vůdců, odbojářů i kolaborantů, obětí i vrahů. Tyto nesmírně složité dějinné události jsou přitom utvářeny pojmy, jejichž smysl si člověk osvojí už v dětství: strachem, důvěrou, přizpůsobivostí, hledáním vlastní identity či vnímáním rozdílu mezi dobrem a zlem. „Nikomu, kdo byl na světě mezi lety 1937 a 1948,“ píše Madeleine Albrightová, „nebyl cizí hluboký smutek. Zahynuly miliony nevinných a na jejich smrt se nikdy nesmí zapomenout. Ztracené životy už dnes nenahradíme, máme však povinnost zjistit co nejvíce o tom, proč a jak se to všechno událo. Knihu vzpomínek Madeleine Albrightové nejlépe přiblížil nedlouho před svým úmrtím autorčin blízký přítel Václav Havel: Madeleine Albrightová napsala strhující příběh plný dobrodružství a vášně, tragédie a odvahy na pozadí okupovaného Československa během druhé světové války a následujících tří let, vedoucích k Únoru 1948. Ve své knize nabízí svěží, neotřelý pohled na události, jež formovaly její život a pozdější kariéru, a dovádí nás k hlubokému zamyšlení o mravních dilematech, které se projevovaly i v našich životech.

Another provocative spellbinding tale. -Philadelphia InquirerSome things have to be believed to be seen.Sandy and Dennys have always been the normal, run-of-the-mill ones in the extraodinary Murry family. They garden, make an occasional A in school, and play baseball. Nothing especially interesting has happened to the twins until they accidentally interrupt their father s experiment.Then the two boys are thrown across time and space. They find themselves alone in the desert, where, if they believe in unicorns, they can find unicorns, and whether they believe or not, mammoths and manticores will find them.The twins are rescued by Japheth, a man from the nearby oasis, but before he can bring them to safety, Dennys gets lost. Each boy is quickly embroiled in the conflicts of this time and place, whose populations includes winged seraphim, a few stray mythic beasts, perilous and beautiful nephilim, and small, long lived humans who consider Sandy and Dennys giants. The boys find they have more to do in the oasis than simply getting themselves home--they have to reunite an estranged father and son, but it won t be easy, especially when the son is named Noah and he s about to start building a boat in the desert.Praise for Many Waters: Sandy and Dennys, twins and middle children in the Newbery-winning A Wrinkle in Time, are transported to the time just before the Flood. . .

Kniha - autor Madeleine Albrightová, 516 stran, česky, pevná s přebalem matná Autorka se coby americká ministryně zahraničí během dvou prezidentských období Billa Clintona podílela na zásadních politických rozhodnutích své doby a účastnila se nejednoho dějinného dramatu, od mírových jednání na Blízkém Východě přes zásah NATO na Balkáně po politické střety s Iránem či Irákem. Pozoruhodný však byl i autorčin předchozí život - jakožto dcera českého diplomata se už v dětství pohybovala ve vysokých diplomatických kruzích; jakožto nadaná studentka, pocházející ovšem z komunistického Československa, se musela zorientovat v nové vlasti; jako uznávaná diplomatka musela sloučit náročnou kariéru a rodinný život…O tom všem Madeleine Albrightová dokáže vyprávět se svým příslovečným šarmem a jemným, inteligentním humorem - a výsledkem je "jeden z nejlepších politických memoárů posledních několika desetiletí".

The #1 NYT BESTSELLERA personal and urgent examination of Fascism in the twentieth century and how its legacy shapes today⠙s world, written by one of America⠙s most admired public servants, the first woman to serve as U.S. secretary of state.⠜There is priceless wisdom on every page.⠝ Kirkus Starred reviewA Fascist, observes Madeleine Albright, ⠘is someone who claims to speak for a whole nation or group, is utterly unconcerned with the rights of others, and is willing to use violence and whatever other means are necessary to achieve the goals he or she might have.⠙The twentieth century was defined by the clash between democracy and Fascism, a struggle that created uncertainty about the survival of human freedom and left millions of innocent people dead. Given the horrors of that experience, one might expect the world to reject the spiritual successors to Hitler and Mussolini should they arise in our era. In Fascism: A Warning, Madeleine Albright, draws on her own experiences as a child in war-torn Europe and her distinguished career as a diplomat to question that very assumption.Fascism, as Albright shows, not only endured through the course of the twentieth century, but now presents a more virulent threat to international peace and justice than at any time since the end of World War II. The momentum toward democracy that swept the world when the Berlin Wall fell has gone into reverse. The United States, which has historically championed the free world, is led by a president who exacerbates popular divisions and heaps scorn on democratic institutions. In many countries, economic, technological and cultural factors are weakening the political centre and empowering the extremes of right and left. Contemporary leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un are employing many of the same tactics used by Fascists in the 1920s and 30s.Fascism: A Warning is a book for our times that is relevant to all times. Written with wisdom by someone who has not only studied history but helped to shape it, this call to arms teaches us the lessons we must understand and the questions we must answer if we are to save ourselves from repeating the tragic errors of the past.

Píše se rok 1863 a v Mexiku pokračuje válka s Francií. Koncem dubna vyráží z Vera Cruzu do Puebla francouzský konvoj, složený z 64 vozů a několika desítek mul, který veze pro obléhající francouzské vojáky zásoby munice, potravin, ošacení, léků, ale především tři milióny franků ve zlatě k vyplacení žoldu. Mexický plukovník Milan se od svých zvědů o tomto konvoji dozvídá a rozhodne se ho zmocnit. K dispozici má přes dva tisíce mužů, nejprve však musí zlikvidovat malou doprovodnou skupinku kapitána Danjoua, která je vyslaná k obraně tohoto tolik cenného konvoje a která se skládá jen ze 65 mužů cizinecké legie, naprosto zdecimovaných od tropických horeček, úplavice a žluté zimnice.Jejich zbraně se zkříží 30. dubna 1863, kdy se opuštěný statek v Camerone stává scénou epického boje. Legionáři zde zůstávají obklíčeni a izolováni jako v pasti na myši. Milan si myslí, že k porážce Francouzů mu stačí jen 15 minut, ale legionáři byli veterány z těch nejhorších evropských bojišť a měli tak obrovské zkušenosti, disciplínu a výcvik, zatímco jeho muži ještě před nedávnem orali svá pole a do boje proti francouzským vetřelcům šli většinou jen s mačetami v rukou. Kapitán Danjou dostává možnost se vzdát se ctí, ale raději posílá své muže do nerovného boje proti třicetinásobné přesile s jasným cílem - ochránit francouzský konvoj. Bitva u Camerone je historiky označována za nejstatečnější bitvu všech dob: muži kapitána Danjoua vytvářejí legendu a všemi opovrhovaná cizinecká legie je náhle považována za elitní jednotku.

Mixing the contemporary with the ancient, MOSAICS spotlights ground-breaking emerging artist Cameron Welch.The inaugural monograph of multidisciplinary artist Cameron Welch presents a vivid, comprehensive look into a young artist’s practice. Welch’s work has straddled sculpture, collage, and textiles, but in early 2017, he shifted to mosaic as his primary medium. As a child, the artist was introduced to mosaic by his grandmother, an experience that has a lasting impact on the way he works the age-old medium to piece together disparate materials and histories. Welch treats mosaic as a physical manifestation of intertextuality, referring to the colliding contexts he unearths in the work as a kind of infiltration. While Welch’s chosen medium evokes ancient traditions, the effect of his work is decidedly contemporary. His chaotic, jumbled compositions speak to the same anxiety felt in the Information Age, an era when unlimited information is available at the tap of a screen. Amidst the pictorial chaos of Welch’s mosaics, the figures who emerge range from familiar to foreign, comical to heroic. Frequently depicting himself and figures from his own life, Welch sheds light on unsung histories within the intricate topology of his creations. An incisive essay by Greek and Roman Art scholar Alexis Belis helps readers contextualize Welch’s work within historical and contemporary creative practice.

This practical guide, the first to show how leaders can achieve extraordinary results through the positive energy generated by virtuous interactions with employees, is written by one of the giants in the study of positive leadership.This book reveals one of the most important but frequently ignored factors that lead to spectacular performance in organizations. Kim Cameron, a true pioneer in the study of positive leadership, offers validated scientific evidence that all individuals are inherently attracted to and flourish in the presence of positive energy, a principle known in biology as heliotropism. Further, he shows that the positive relational energy generated by leaders’ virtuous behaviors—such as generosity, compassion, gratitude, trustworthiness, forgiveness, and kindness—is tightly linked to extraordinary organizational outcomes like greater innovation, higher profits, and increased engagement and retention. Cameron has not written a feel-good tome about the power of positive thinking, “happiology,” or unbridled optimism. This research-based explanation shows how to achieve performance that exceeds expectations. He provides practical suggestions, assessments, and exercises showing how leaders can improve their own positive energy and increase positive relational energy in their organizations. Positively Energizing Leadership is a major contribution to the theory and practice of leadership.

At the age of 48, when she moved to the Isle of Wight, Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) was given a camera by her daughter: It might amuse you, Mother, to try to photograph during your solitude at Freshwater. The gift was to begin Cameronâ ™s short but prolific career as one of photographyâ ™s first great artists. From the first moment I handled my lens with a tender ardour, and it has become to me as a living thing, with voice and memory and creative vigour. The modern interest in Cameronâ ™s photography began with the pioneering 1926 book by her great-niece Virginia Woolf and art critic Roger Fry. Their essays and the original plates are reprinted here, together with Cameronâ ™s own account of her life in photography, Annals of My Glass House, her only surviving poem, On a Portrait, and an introduction by Tristram Powell. Thirty-nine plates and other illustrations have been added, including many of Cameronâ ™s most famous images.

Before iron helmets and steel swords, when dragons roamed the world, was an age of bronze and stone, when the Gods walked the earth, and people lived in terror. In this era a scribe, a warlord, a dancer, a mute insect and a child should have no chance against the might of the bickering gods and their cruel games. But the gods themselves are old, addicted to their own games of power, and now their fates may lie in the hands of mere mortals . . .

In a radical new story about the birth of our species, The Origin of Language argues that it was not hunting, fighting, or tool-making that forced early humans to speak, but the inescapable need to care for our children. Journeying to the dawn of Homo sapiens, evolutionary biologist Madeleine Beekman reveals the “happy accidents” hidden in our molecular biology—DNA, chromosomes, and proteins—that led to one of the most fateful events in the history of life on Earth: our giving birth to babies earlier in their development than our hominid cousins the Neanderthals and Denisovans. Faced with highly dependent infants requiring years of nurturing and protection, early human communities needed to cooperate and coordinate, and it was this unprecedented need for communication that triggered the creation of human language—and changed everything. Infused with cutting-edge science, sharp humour, and insights into the history of biology and its luminaries, Beekman weaves a narrative that’s both enlightening and entertaining. Challenging the traditional theories of male luminaries like Chomksy, Pinker, and Harari, she invites us into the intricate world of molecular biology and its ancient secrets. The Origin of Language is a tour de force by a brilliant biologist on how a culture of cooperation and care have shaped our existence.

The decision to publish this book has been very difficult, and taken with heavy hearts ... My reason for writing it is simple: to give an account of the truth ... Writing this memoir has entailed recording some very personal, intimate and emotional aspects of our lives. Sharing these with strangers does not come easily to me, but if I hadn t done so I would not have felt the book gave as full a picture as it is possible for me to give. As with every action we have taken over the last five years, it ultimately boils down to whether what we are doing could help us to find Madeleine. When the answer to that question is yes, or even possibly, our family can cope with anything ... Nothing is more important to us than finding our little girl. Kate McCann
