Margaret Rutherford was without a doubt one of Britain’ s best-loved comic actresses. But behind the kindly, serene front Rutherford presented to the world lay a life of trauma and repeated nervous breakdown – the legacy of the legacy of family tragedy that saw her father murder her grandfather during a bout of mental illness and her depressive mother later kill herself. Andy Merriman’ s acclaimed biography intrigued and shocked readers with these revelations when it was published in hardback. Now out in paperback, it is also a portrait of one of our most individual actresses. Rutherford appeared in such thoroughly English classics as Blithe Spirit, The importance of Being Earnest, Passport to Pimlico and I’ m All Right, Jack! But above all she was Miss Marple, in four films – and entirely created for the screen the role of Agatha Christie’ s elderly and fearless private detective that subsequent actresses like Joan Hickson and Geraldine McEwan have continued. Rutherford first played Miss Marple at the age of 70, and insisted on wearing her own clothes to feel right in the part. Above all, this was a vulnerable woman whom no-one failed to like and respect, notable again and again for quiet acts of kindness, whose life story has great appeal to everyone who appreciates both classic English comedy and simple human decency.

At the end of almost every day of their fifty-five years of married life, the publicity-shy author Margaret Forster would ask the naturally gregarious and outgoing Hunter Davies to describe to her the highlights of his day in the worlds of journalism and publishing. In the six years that have elapsed since Margaret''s death, Hunter has continued these conversations with his wife, regaling her with accounts of the events and developments in his life – domestic, social, romantic, book-related, health-related and others – through a sequence of ''Letters to Margaret’. The letters are pure Hunter Davies: a feast of gossipy stream-of-consciousness that weaves together strands of confession, self-mockery, anecdote and touching remembrance of married happiness with Margaret. Entertaining, informative, irreverent and indiscreet – and sometimes very touching – Letters to Margaret reveals an eighty-seven-year-old Hunter still raging against the dying of the light, and seeking consolation for life’s frustrations and disappointments (and the loneliness of widowerhood) through a sustained conversation with the woman he shared his life with for more than half a century.

ÚCHVATNÁ EXKURZE DO DĚJIN LIDSKÉHO DRUHU. RUTHERFORD JE PŘEDNÍ ODBORNÍK A ZÁBAVNÝ VYPRAVĚČ. – Genome Co všechno už dnes dokážeme vyčíst ze struktury lidských genomů! Podstatu nás samých, leccos o našich předcích, náš minulý vývoj a naši budoucnost – vlastně především tu! V této knize po ní pátráme jako v napínavé detektivce. V první části se autor zaměřuje na dějiny lidstva od prvních hominidů až po dnešního Homo sapiens, jak nám je odhaluje analýza lidské DNA získané z fosilních nálezů a ze středověkých i současných lidských ostatků. Ukazuje se, že lidstvo se vyvíjelo mnohem složitěji, než jsme si ještě nedávno mysleli. Druhá část knihy je zaměřena na otázku, kým dnes vlastně jsme a co současný výzkum DNA odhaluje o rodinách, národech, rasách, o našem zdraví a psychologii, ba dokonce o celém našem osudu. Převažuje názor, že genomika nakonec naprosto promění velkou část medicíny. S tím jsou ovšem spojeny značné etické problémy. Genomika se ubírá prudce vpřed. Každý týden jsou publikovány nové významné výsledky: objasňování podstaty dědičných chorob, poznatky o nových virech, o genech kulturních rostlin, ale zejména výsledky úprav genomů modelových organizmů metodou CRISPR-Cas9. Tato metoda zcela změnila možnosti praktického využití výsledků genomiky. Stojíme před otázkou: jaká omezení si má lidstvo při využívání výsledků genomiky uložit? Máme právo upravovat lidský genom? Nastala už doba genové terapie, tedy postupů nahrazujících vadné geny zdravými a plně funkčními? Dokázali bychom už cíleně, přesně a bezpečně upravovat lidský genom v buňkách embryí? Jestliže ano, jsou takové úpravy morálně přípustné? Jaké hrozby pro životaschopnost budoucích generací vytvářejí?

How key concepts in modern physics came from the work of a New Zealander whom Einstein labelled ‘a second Newton’. By the mid-nineteenth century, physicists believed they had discovered the last secrets of the universe. Then a new world opened up: one of waves, particles, and new, fundamental forces. This mysterious world swiftly captured the public imagination, not least because of the technical revolution that emerged from it, giving the world everything from radio to TV, X-ray machines, smoke detectors, and more. One of the key movers of this new world was Ernest Rutherford, a no-nonsense New Zealander who became popularly known as the ‘father of the atom’ in recognition of his pioneering role in particle physics. But he was far more than that. Through his roles at Manchester University and then the Cavendish Laboratory in England, he steered a new generation of highly influential physicists such as Niels Bohr, helping to shape much of the way we understand physics today. This book explores the discovery of that science, using Rutherford’s life as a vehicle to steer the journey. It explains just why this science seized the public imagination of the day, and why Rutherford’s contribution was integral not just to the technical revolution of the twentieth century, but to the way we now understand the nature of the universe. And it explains how that science works, in terms clear to the widest readership.

A profoundly moving celebration of love under the darkest of circumstances from the author of The NineFrom the moment they met in 1940 in Ravensbrück concentration camp, Milena Jesenska and Margarete Buber-Neumann were inseparable.Czech Milena was Kafka's first translator and epistolary lover, and a journalist opposed to fascism. A non-conformist, bi-sexual feminist, she was way ahead of her time. With the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, her home became a central meeting place for Jewish refugees.German Margarete, born to a middle-class family, married the son of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. But soon swept up in the fervor of the Bolshevik Revolution, she met her second partner, the Communist Heinz Neumann. Called to Moscow for his "political deviations," he fell victim to Stalin's purges while Margarete was exiled to the hell of the Soviet gulag. Two years later, traded by Stalin to Hitler, she ended up outside Berlin in Ravensbrück, the only concentration camp built for women. Milena and Margarete loved each other at the risk of their lives. But in the post-war survivors' accounts, lesbians were stigmatized, and survivors kept silent. This book explores those silences, and finally celebrates two strong women who never gave up and continue to inspire. As Margaret wrote: "I was thankful for having been sent to Ravensbrück, because it was there I met Milena."

Miss Margaret Finch – a rather demure young woman – has just begun work in a position that relies on her discretion and powers of observation. Then, her path is crossed by the disgraced Rector of Stiffkey (aka Harold Davidson), who is the subject of a national scandal. Margaret is determined to discover the truth behind the headlines: is Davidson a maligned hero or an exploiter of the vulnerable? But her own troubles are never far away, and Margaret’s fear that history is about to repeat itself means she needs to uncover that truth urgently. This deeply evocative novel ripples with the tension of a country not yet able to countenance the devastation of another war. Margaret walks us along the promenade, peeks into the baths and even dares a trip on the love boat in this, her first seaside summer season, on a path more dangerous than she could ever have imagined.Readers are loving The Misadventures of Margaret Finch:***** ''Fascinating.

In this fully revised and updated second edition of An Anthropology of Biomedicine, authors Lock and Nguyen introduce biomedicine from an anthropological perspective, exploring the entanglement of material bodies with history, environment, culture, and politics. Drawing on historical and ethnographic work, the book critiques the assumption made by the biological sciences of a universal human body that can be uniformly standardized. It focuses on the ways in which the application of biomedical technologies brings about radical changes to societies at large based on socioeconomic inequalities and ethical disputes, and develops and integrates the theory that the human body in health and illness is not an ontological given but a moveable, malleable entity. This second edition includes new chapters on: microbiology and the microbiome; global health; and, the self as a socio-technical system. In addition, all chapters have been comprehensively revised to take account of developments from within this fast-paced field, in the intervening years between publications. References and figures have also been updated throughout. This highly-regarded and award-winning textbook (Winner of the 2010 Prose Award for Archaeology and Anthropology) retains the character and features of the previous edition. Its coverage remains broad, including discussion of: biomedical technologies in practice; anthropologies of medicine; biology and human experiments; infertility and assisted reproduction; genomics, epigenomics, and uncertain futures; and molecularizing racial difference, ensuring it remains the essential text for students of anthropology, medical anthropology as well as public and global health.Â

Of the many executions ordered by Henry VIII, surely the most horrifying was that of sixty-seven-year-old Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, hacked to pieces on the scaffold by a blundering headsman.From the start, Margaret’s life had been marred by tragedy and violence: her father, George, Duke of Clarence, had been executed at the order of his own brother, Edward IV, and her naive young brother, Edward, Earl of Warwick, had spent most of his life in the Tower before being executed on the orders of Henry VII.Yet Margaret, friend to Katherine of Aragon and the beloved governess of her daughter Mary, had seemed destined for a happier fate until religious upheaval and rebellion caused Margaret and her family to fall from grace. From Margaret’s birth as the daughter of a royal duke to her beatification centuries after her death, Margaret Pole: The Countess in the Tower tells the story of one of the fortress’s most unlikely prisoners.

Set in a Lower East Side tenement in the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns, Fourteen Days is an irresistibly propulsive collaborative novel from the Authors Guild, with an unusual twist: each character in this diverse, eccentric cast of New York neighbors has been secretly written by a different, major literary voice—from Margaret Atwood and Celeste Ng to Tommy Orange and John Grisham.One week into the COVID-19 shutdown, tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants—some of whom have barely spoken to each other—become real neighbors. In this Decameron-like serial novel, general editors Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldn’t escape when the pandemic hit.

'A compelling account of a compulsory subject ... A masterpiece of compression and readability' Daniel Finkelstein'A deft, clear-eyed summary of Thatcher's life' Rory Stewart'Iain Dale introduces Margaret Thatcher to a new generation and intelligently explodes some of the myths about her' Simon HefferMargaret Thatcher was a woman of tremendous paradoxes: a conviction politician who was also a pragmatist; someone who delighted in her tough reputation, yet could also be emotional, and even tearful, when confronted by personal or national tragedy. Her reputation as a cabinet leader was one of being quasi-dictatorial, yet she left her ministers to get on with their jobs – far more than any of her successors ever have. She was known as a classical laissez faire liberal, yet she started out as a social conservative, and wasn’t averse to state intervention when she felt it was warranted. Iain Dale’s sparkling short biography of Margaret Thatcher brings her to life in all her paradoxes and contradictions, and shows how her election in 1979 really was a turning point in British history. Dubbed the ‘Iron Lady’ by the Soviets, she was one of the few recent prime ministers to burnish an international reputation, fighting the Falklands war, playing a leading role in defeating Communism and winning the Cold War, and through her battles with the European Economic Community. Domestically, she ushered in a period of forty years of consensus on the limited role of the state, an industrial relations settlement and the dominance of the private sector in the economy – a settlement that is only now being seriously questioned. A little over a decade after her death, Margaret Thatcher introduces her to new generations of readers who may not remember her premiership, but who are living with its consequences.

THE BOOK THAT EXPOSED THE HEARTBREAKING SCANDAL OF BRITAIN''S FORGOTTEN AND ABUSED CHILD MIGRANTS - now a film, Oranges and Sunshine, starring Emily Watson.In 1986 Margaret Humphreys, a Nottingham social worker, investigated a woman''s claim that, aged four, she had been put on a boat to Australia by the British government. At first incredulous, Margaret discovered that this was just the tip of an enormous iceberg. Up to 150,000 children, some as young as three years old, had been deported from children''s homes in Britain and shipped off to a ''new life'' in distant parts of the Empire, right up until as recently as 1970.Many were told that their parents were dead, and parents were told that their children had been adopted. In fact, for many children it was to be a life of horrendous physical and sexual abuse far away from everything they knew. Margaret and her team reunited thousands of families before it was too late, brought authorities to account, and worldwide attention to an outrageous miscarriage of justice.

Strhující debut zkoumající sílu identity a komunity. Navzdory nešťastnému dětství a těžkým podmínkám začal osmnáctiletý Finlay právě studovat ošetřovatelství na Glasgowské univerzitě. V dětství si prošel ústavní péčí a pěstounstvím, což znamená, že se teď na prahu dospělosti nemá o koho opřít. Jako by svět nebyl sám o sobě děsivý. Jak má psát eseje, soustředit se na ošetřovatelskou praxi a žít normálním studentským životem, když se sotva dokáže uživit? Sedmnáctiletý Banjo se mezitím pokouší usadit v nové pěstounské rodině, dokončit střední školu a udržet si práci. Perou se v něm však hněv a strach a ohrožují jeho už tak nejistou budoucnost. Neví, co s ním bude, ale tuší, že nic hezkého ho nečeká. Ještě před třemi lety si Finlay a Banjo byli blízcí jako bratři. Jenže se mezi nimi něco stalo a jejich cesty se rozešly. Společná minulost je oba pronásleduje a brání jim posunout se dál. Pokud si chtějí udržet své blízké, musejí si vzájemně odpustit. A taky najít způsob, jak odpustit sami sobě. Nádherná kniha! Kluci z Glasgow jsou něha sama, opěvují lásku a přátelství. Na Finlaym a Banjovi i na všech lidech kolem nich mi opravdu záleželo a moc jsem jim fandil.

Kniha analyzuje britskou zahraniční politiku vůči střední Evropě za vlády konzervativní premiérky Margaret Thatcherové a její osobní postoj vůči středoevropským zemím. Činí tak formou tří případových studií, kde každá zkoumá jiný aspekt. První studie je analýzou britské politiky vůči nominálně socialistickým zemím v poslední dekádě komunismu, založenou na zkoumání vztahu Margaret Thatcherové k prvním nezávislým odborům v sovětské sféře, tj. polské Solidaritě. Druhá studie se zaměřuje na britskou politiku v průběhu hroutících se komunistických režimů, respektive na britský postoj během jednání o znovusjednocení Německa. Poslední kapitola se pak věnuje thatcherovským reformám jako inspiraci pro postkomunistické země s důrazem na českou ekonomickou transformaci a její inspiraci v thatcherismu.
