Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry Former U.S. Poet Laureate, Natasha Trethewey’s Native Guard is a deeply personal volume that brings together two legacies of the Deep South. Through elegaic verse that honors her mother and tells of her own fraught childhood, Natasha Trethewey confronts the racial legacy of her native Deep South—where one of the first black regiments, The Louisiana Native Guards, was called into service during the Civil War. The title of the collection refers to the black regiment whose role in the Civil War has been largely overlooked in African American history. As a child in Gulfport, Mississippi, in the 1960s, Trethewey could gaze across the water to the fort on Ship Island where Confederate captives once were guarded by black soldiers serving the Union cause. The racial legacy of the South touched Trethewey’s life on a much more immediate level, too. Many of the poems in Native Guard pay loving tribute to her mother, whose marriage to a white man was illegal in her native Mississippi in the 1960s. Years after her mother’s tragic death, Trethewey reclaims her memory in this exploration of personal history, just as she reclaims the voices of the black ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The trials, tribulations and outrageous escapades of these six controversial sisters continue to fascinate us. Yet what about the seventh and arguably most vital Mitford woman of them all – their mother?Sydney Redesdale, known as ‘Muv’, is often portrayed as different from her daughters – outside of that exclusive girl gang. Without doubt, she was a divisive character, her daughters squabbling about the ‘real Muv’ for even longer than they argued about their political differences. They could never agree: was she a scapegoat or saint, mother or manager?

Edwin Lutyens'' Memorial to the Missing of the Somme at Thiepval in Northern France, visited annually by tens of thousands of tourists, is arguably the finest structure erected by any British architect in the twentieth century. It is the principal, tangible expression of the defining event in Britain''s experience and memory of the Great War, the first day of the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916, and it bears the names of 73,000 soldiers whose bodies were never found at the end of that bloody and futile campaign. This brilliant study by an acclaimed architectural historian tells the origin of the memorial in the context of commemorating the war dead; it considers the giant classical brick arch in architectural terms, and also explores its wider historical significance and its resonances today. So much of the meaning of the twentieth century is concentrated here; the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing casts a shadow into the future, a shadow which extends beyond the dead of the Holocaust, to the Gulag, to the ''disappeared'' of South America and of Tianenmen. Reissued in a beautiful and striking new edition for the centenary of the Somme.

In the tradition of the best writing on human behaviour and moral choices in the face of disaster, physician and reporter Sheri Fink reconstructs five days at New Orleans'' Memorial Medical Center during Hurricane Katrina and draws the reader into the lives of those who struggled mightily to survive and to maintain life amidst chaos. After Katrina struck and the floodwaters rose, the power failed, and the heat climbed, exhausted caregivers chose to designate certain patients last for rescue. Months later, several health professionals faced criminal allegations that they deliberately injected numerous patients with drugs to hasten their deaths. Five Days at Memorial, the culmination of six years of reporting, unspools the mystery of what happened in those days, bringing the reader into a hospital fighting for its life and into a conversation about the most terrifying form of health care rationing.In a voice at once involving and fair, masterful and intimate, Fink exposes the hidden dilemmas of end-of-life care and reveals just how ill-prepared we are for the impact of large-scale disasters - and how we can do better.

An A-Z from Anxiety to Zero F**ks Given.‘Am I normal?’‘What’s an anxiety disorder?’‘Does therapy work?’These are just a few of the questions Natasha Devon is asked as she travels the UK campaigning for better mental health awareness and provision. Here, Natasha calls upon experts in the fields of psychology, neuroscience and anthropology to debunk and demystify the full spectrum of mental health. From A (Anxiety) to Z (Zero F**ks Given – or the art of having high self-esteem) via everything from body image and gender to differentiating ‘sadness’ from ‘depression’.Statistically, one in three of us will experience symptoms of a mental illness during our lifetimes. Yet all of us have a brain, and so we ALL have mental health – regardless of age, sexuality, race or background. The past few years have seen an explosion in awareness, yet it seems there is still widespread confusion.A Beginner's Guide to Being Mental is for anyone who wants to have this essential conversation, written as only Natasha - with her combination of expertise, personal experience and humour - knows how.

‘The Memorial Walks’ is a record of a unique project, in which artist Simon Pope invited a series of writers to memorise a scene from a landscape painting, which they would then be asked to recall while out walking in the open country. Continuing the exploration of memory and place at the heart of Pope’s multi-disciplinary practice, this artist’s book acts as a ‘field guide’ to the seventeen different walks that made up project and features recollections from well-known literary names such as Geoff Dyer, Iain Sinclair, Hari Kunzru, Trezza Azzopardi and Tom McCarthy.This beautifully designed pocket-size publication includes an introductory essay by project curator Steven Bode, alongside maps, photographs and other marginalia, as well as transcriptions of the writers’ recalls of the paintings, and the paintings themselves.

Audiokniha od autora: Natasha Boyd, čte: Martina Hudečková. Délka nahrávky: 12 hodin, 2 minuty. Mladá žena čelí intrikám a předsudkům v Jižní Karolíně 18. století. Skutečný příběh o síle, odvaze a zakázané lásce. Píše se rok 1739 a teprve šestnáctiletá Eliza Lucasová dostane od svého otce do správy rodinné plantáže v Jižní Karolíně. Krátce nato otec vyslyší volání Koruny a odpluje bojovat za její zájmy. Matka nevidí budoucnost nadějně a vývoj zemědělského podnikání její dcery jí dává za pravdu. Nezdolná dívka však zjistí, že zachránit by je mohlo pěstování rostliny, z níž se vyrábí indigo, nádherné modré barvivo, za které francouzští obchodníci platí velké peníze. Eliza však netuší, jak rostlinu pěstovat, a jediný člověk široko daleko, který to ví, africká otrokyně, jí nechce pomoci. Děvče musí překonávat předsudky ať proto, že je žena, nebo že je otrokářka, nebo jen holka, která překračuje meze toho, co se v 18. století považuje za slušné chování. Eliza se však nevzdává a pro svůj sen nadchne starého zahradníka ze sousedství, právníka z města a jednoho černošského mladíka, s kterým se domluví, že dva outsideři si musí pomoci. On ji naučí zpracovávat indigo, ona skupinu jeho přátel číst a psát. Autorka napsala skutečný příběh odhodlané, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Píše se rok 1739. Elize Lucasové je pouhých šestnáct, když ji otec pověří správou tří rodinných plantáží v Jižní Karolíně, zámořské kolonii britského krále Jiřího II. Poté odpluje bojovat za slávu Koruny a jeho opuštěná choť si nepřeje nic jiného než vrátit se do Anglie. Přičinlivá dcera se sice hospodaření ujme nehledě na překážky, jenže osud podle všeho kráčí matčinu přání vstříc. Eliza záhy čelí hrozbě, že Lucasovi přijdou o všechno, avšak odmítne se vzdát. Sotva se dívka dozví, kolik Francouzi platí za indigové barvivo, nabude přesvědčení, že právě jeho produkce je klíčem k záchraně. Okolí ale jejímu snu nevěří, v pěstování původně západoafrické rostliny se žádný běloch nevyzná a vzpurná otrokyně se s ní o taje výroby úchvatně modré barvy odmítá podělit. Hrdinka zjišťuje, že jejími spojenci v bitvě o čas jsou jen starý zahradník ze sousedství, šťastně ženatý právník z města a černošský mladík, s nímž Eliza uzavře neslýchanou dohodu. On ji naučí indigo zpracovávat a ona jeho druhy - navzdory dobovým zákonům - naučí číst. Natasha Boydová oživila skutečný příběh dámy, která nemálo přispěla k emancipaci budoucích Spojených států.

Historička Natasha Tidd berie čitateľov na globálnu cestu ľudskými dejinami a skúma, ako môžu lži zmeniť svet okolo nás, od podvodných PR kampaní Gaia Iulia Caesara až po zatajovanie udalostí, ktoré vyústilo do Černobyľu.Opisuje historické nepravdy, úmyselné lži, podvrhy a falzifikáty, ktoré spôsobili stáročia trvajúce konflikty a útlak (napríklad Sionské protokoly či záhadný testament Petra Veľkého), a masové politické a mediálne utajovania vrátane britských koncentračných táborov počas búrskej vojny, Pulitzerovou cenou oceneného vymazania hladomoru na Ukrajine a neslávne známej Dreyfusovej aféry vo Francúzsku. Popritom skúma, ako náš výklad histórie môže zmeniť fikciu na skutočnosť (prípad klamlivého dedičstva španielskej inkvizície či démonizácie čínskej cisárovnej) a tiež, ako môžu historické lži ovplyvniť naše životy aj dnes (napríklad smrteľný odkaz amerického experimentu Tuskegee).Kniha 50 lží, ktoré vytvárali históriu sveta podrobne opisuje hlboký vplyv tejto utajovanej stránky dejín a ukazuje, že pravda je často prekvapujúcejšia – a oveľa nebezpečnejšia – ako akákoľvek fikcia.

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride set up The Cambridge Nutrition Clinic in 1998. As a parent of a child diagnosed with learning disabilities, she is acutely aware of the difficulties facing other parents like her, and she has devoted much of her time to helping these families. She realized that nutrition played a critical role in helping children and adults to overcome their disabilities, and has pioneered the use of probiotics in this field. Her willingness to share her knowledge has resulted in her contributing to many publications, as well as presenting at numerous seminars and conferences on the subjects of learning disabilities and digestive disorders. Her book Gut and Psychology Syndrome captures her experience and knowledge, incorporating her most recent work. She believes that the link between learning disabilities, the food and drink that we take, and the condition of our digestive system is absolute, and the results of her work have supported her position on this subject.
