he world s leading expert on the human settlement of Mars explains what Martian societies will look like - sooner than we thinkWithin a few years, humans will be able to voyage to Mars. SpaceX is at the forefront of companies already building fleets of spaceships to make interplanetary travel as affordable as Old-World passage to America – to the then New World. We will settle the red planet, transforming its raw materials into resources and tackling the challenges that await us, creating a new frontier for humankind.Dr Robert Zubrin explains how populous Martian city-states will emerge, producing their own air, water, food, power and more. How they must be beautiful to attract settlers, and what that might look like. How the primary exports are unlikely to be material goods but intellectual products, created by a technically adept population in a frontier environment where people will be forced to innovate – including GMOs, robotics, AI and power production.Zubrin even predicts the red planet’s customs, social relations and government – of the people, by the people, for the people, with inalienable individual rights – that will overcome traditional forms of oppression to draw talented Earth immigrants. In 1776, Thomas Paine wrote ‘We have it in our power to begin the world over again’. Zubrin inspires us to embrace another magnificent future today.With the right pieces in place, his red planet will become a pressure cooker for invention, benefiting humans on Earth, Mars and beyond. The New World on Mars proves that there is no point killing each other over provinces on Earth when, together, we can create planets.

This book should be mandatory reading for all scholars concerned with Christian origins ... nothing of comparable importance has been written for at least a decade. - Freethinker For more than a century scholars have been examining the Gospels and other traditions about the life of Jesus to determine their historical accuracy. Although the results of these scholarly efforts are sometimes controversial, the consensus among researchers today is that the four Evangelists accounts cannot be taken at face value. In fact, a team of more than 100 scholars called the Jesus Seminar has come to the conclusion that on average only about 18 percent of the four Gospels is historically accurate.An active member of the Jesus Seminar, Dr. Robert M. Price presents the fruits of this important historical research in this fascinating discussion of early Christianity. As the title suggests, Price is none too optimistic about the reliability of the Gospel tradition as a source of accurate historical information about the life of Jesus. Indeed, he feels that his colleagues in the Jesus Seminar are much too optimistic in their estimate of authentic material in the Gospels. After an introduction to the historical-critical method for nonspecialists and a critique of the methods used by the Jesus Seminar, Price systematically discusses the narrative and teaching materials in the Gospel, clearly presenting what is known and not known about all of the major episodes of Jesus life. He also examines the parables for authenticity as well as Jesus teachings about the Kingdom of God, repentance, prayer, possessions and poverty, the Atonement, and many other features of the Gospels.Written for the general reading public in a lively and accessible style, Dr. Price s highly informative discussion will be of interest to anyone who has wondered about the origins of Christianity.

This new book on Bismarck offers a forensic analysis of the design, operation and loss of Germany s greatest battleship and draws on survivors accounts and the authors combined decades of experience in naval architecture and command at sea. Their investigation into every aspect of this battleship has taken fifty-six years of painstaking research, during which time they conducted extensive interviews and corresponded with the ship s designers and the survivors of the battle of the Denmark Strait and Bismarck s final battle. Albert Schnarke, for instance, the former gunnery officer of Tirpitz, Bismarck s sister ship, aided the authors greatly by translating and supplying manuscript materials from those who had participated in the design and operations. Survivors of Bismarck s engagements contributed to this comprehensive study including D B H Wildish, RN, damage control officer aboard HMS Prince of Wales, who located photographs of battle damage to his ship. After the wreck of Bismarck was discovered in June 1989, the authors served as technical consultants to Dr Robert Ballard, who led three trips to the site. Film maker and explorer James Cameron has contributed a chapter, which gives the reader a comprehensive overview of his deep-sea explorations on Bismarck and it is illustrated with his team s remarkable photographs of the wreck. The result of nearly six decades of research and collaboration, this new work is an engrossing and encyclopaedic account of the events surrounding one of the most epic naval battles of World War Two. And Battleship Bismarck finally resolves some of the major questions around her career, not least the most profound one of all: Who sank the Bismarck, the British or the Germans?

The last climb of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, towards the summit of Mount Everest on 8 June 1924, has been shrouded in mystery for a century. Were they the first humans to stand at the highest point in the world? The discovery of Mallory s body in 1999 did nothing to resolve the mystery. Until now, accounts of their climb have been driven by speculation and preconceived narrative. In this book, which marks the 100th anniversary of the fateful climb, Dr Robert Edwards brings the fresh and original perspective of a mathematician to the story of Mallory and Irvine. Dr Edwards has assembled the contemporary accounts of the early British expeditions, written by the climbers and their leaders, and has identified their anomalies and inconsistencies. He has studied the letters of George Mallory, and has held in his hand the diaries of Andrew Irvine. He has viewed, in person, some of the surviving artifacts: the ice axe found in 1933, and Mallory s boots, recovered in 1999\. He has corresponded with modern mountaineers who have climbed Everest. Above all, he has applied mathematics and modern imaging and mapping technology to an analysis of what the 1924 climbers could, and could not, have seen and done.

The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. What a study in contrasts is the friendship between Henry Jekyll and his boon companion, Edward Hyde. Where Jekyll is a handsome and respected man of science, Hyde is a surly and brutish misanthrope. Nevertheless, Jekyll allows Hyde free access to his home and laboratory and, surprisingly, madehim the sole beneficiary of his will. Given the closeness of their bond, it seems peculiar that no one has ever seen the two men together in public. And yet they share a remarkable chemistry. . . . First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is Robert Louis Stevenson #39;s classic tale of the duality of human nature and his iconic presentation of what would come to be referred to as the split personality. Born in 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Stevenson crafted this novella during the Victorian era, a period marked by strict social mores and a fascination with the dual nature of man. The story delves into the duality of human nature, portraying Dr. Henry Jekyll #39;s harrowing struggle with his darker self, Mr. Edward Hyde, through a transformative potion that he creates. Considered a pioneering work in the psychological horror genre, it explores themes of identity, human evil, and the societal pressures that influence personal choices. Historically, it reflects the Victorian anxiety about the public and private spheres and the fears of degeneration prevalent in the late nineteenth century. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde challenges the notion of inherent goodness and questions the possibility of fully understanding one #39;s own multiplicity and capacity for evil. Its enduring appeal lies in its profound philosophical questions about the essential conflict within human nature.

Název Tachles navrhla pro knihu Jitka Molavcová. V hebrejštině znamená toto slovo pobídku, aby se yypravěč vrátil k tématu, tedy k věci. Arnošt Lustig, jako velký požitkář života, se totiž rád rozpovídal tak, že od zmíněné Hvížďalovy otázky uhnul k nekonečnému množství příběhů dalších, sice nesmírně zajímavých, ale zásadně odbočujících. Lustig vzpomíná na situace svého života v odvážně upřímné a pravdivé zpovědi bez zábran. Od dětství, mládí, od zážitků v koncentračních táborech přechází ke vzpomínkám na život poválečný, na kolegy v redakcích i vysokých školách, kde přednášel, na spolupracovníky a přátele v Čechách, posléze v Americe, v Izraeli.

Audiokniha: DENÍK S DAVIDOVOU HVĚZDOU Je jí sedmnáct let. Je krásná a její jméno se krásou třpytí: jmenuje se Perla. O čem asi tak snívají jiné dívky v jejím věku? O prvních láskách, o nových šatech do tanečních… A čeho se bojí? Přísného matikáře, maturitní komise… V roce 1943, kdy se děj Lustigovy novely odehrává, mají ještě jiné starosti. Přinesla je válka. Ale Perla nemá jen starosti, Perla má strach. Jako statisíce jiných musela jednoho dne opustit svůj domov a nastoupit do transportu. Konečná stanice: Terezín. Prozatím. Ale jak dlouho může trvat „prozatím“, na jehož konci čeká vlak s dlouhou řadou vagonů, v němž si dojede pro smrt? Perla hraje hru s osudem a do banku dává to jediné, co jí ještě zůstalo: sebe samotnou. I v podmínkách Terezína, kde ztratili jméno a stali se čísly, lidé zůstali zase „jen lidmi“. Ženy zůstaly ženami. A muži zůstali muži. I v nacisty střeženém ghettu lidé touží po lásce. Perla se věnuje nejstaršímu řemeslu světa. Za oddálení cesty do neznáma je ochotna udělat cokoli. Hodinoví milenci platí Perle za lásku praktickými věcmi, které si dívka pečlivě zapisuje do deníku. A vlivný pan L. dokáže zařídit, aby její registrační kartička v pravý čas zmizela z výběru do transportu. Ale jak zákazníci a přátelé Perly s transporty mizí, do její mansardy jednoho dne nepřijde ani pan L. Osamělá Perla se cítí prázdná a stará stejně „jako stromy, vítr a řeky“. Ale ještě než odjede s transportem, odhalí ve svém nitru pocity, na které při svém řemesle zapomněla. Už se nebojí smrti. A nečekaně, s odvahou poháněnou hněvem, se pomstí. Jako biblická Judita ukončí nožem život Holoferna s hákovým křížem. Potom, očištěná a smířená, odchází vstříc osudu svého lidu. Arnošt Lustig (1926 - 2011) Arnošt Lustig je prozaik, autor próz s židovskou tematikou, scénárista.

Neobvyklé kombinace jejího jemného osobního půvabu a nevšedního komického talentu si brzy všimla televize a film. Na plátně se stala například partnerkou Karla Gotta ve snímku Hvězda padá vzhůru. V 80. letech započala její dlouholetá a velice úspěšná práce pro děti (pořady Malý televizní kabaret, Studio Kamarád, Kosmická čarodějnice), objevila se v řadě televizních pohádek.

What a study in contrasts is the friendship between Henry Jekyll and his boon companion, Edward Hyde. Where Jekyll is a handsome and respected man of science, Hyde is a surly and brutish misanthrope. Nevertheless, Jekyll has allowed Hyde free access to his home and laboratory and, surprisingly, made him the sole beneficiary of his will. Given the closeness of their bond, it seems peculiar that no one has ever seen the two men together in public. And yet they share a remarkable chemistry . . . First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of the duality of human nature and his iconic presentation of what would come to be referred to as the “split personality.”

⠘⠦man is not truly one, but truly two.â ™In this powerful deconstruction of Calvinist belief and the hypocrisy at the heart of Victorian society, Stevenson creates a gothic icon in the divided self that is Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Born from a nightmare and anticipating Freudâ ™s theory of the unconscious, Stevenson literalises the concepts of the supernatural doppelgänger and the split personality in a timeless tale of guilt, desire, and violence by which all subsequent â ˜doubleâ ™ stories must be judged. In seeking to cleanse his soul of sin, Dr Henry Jekyll instead unleashes a monster. First published in 1886, this tragic study of the duality of man established Stevensonâ ™s international reputation as an author.This volume also contains Stevensonâ ™s 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables, which includes a further exploration of the mind of a murderer, â ˜Markheimâ ™, and the occult tales of terror, â ˜The Merry Menâ ™, â ˜Olallaâ ™, and â ˜Thrawn Janetâ ™. Â

Psychologická novela o tragickém osudu židovské dívky, která povýšila pomstu za své soukmenovce na smysl své existence. Kniha vychází ze skutečných událostí a byla poprvé vydána roku 1964. Samotná postava Kateřiny Horovitzové je inspirována osudem skutečné dívky, jíž byla polská herečka Franceska Mann.Lustig v této sugestivní novele zpracovává především motiv sadistické léčky, s jejíž pomocí se nacističtí pohlaváři pokusili získat majetek od skupiny zajatých bohatých židovských obchodníků, kteří se před německým nacismem napřed zachránili útěkem do USA, ale posléze, roku 1943, se vrátili do Itálie a tam do rukou nacistů stejně padli. Mezi těmito obchodníky byla i krásná židovka Kateřina Horovitzová. Nacisté obchodníkům slibovali, že je vymění za zajaté německé důstojníky, ale všechno to byla samozřejmě lež.V druhé rovině novely je pak popisován vlastní příběh hrdinky, dívky, která se na prahu smrti vzepře ponižování své lidské důstojnosti a dokáže v sobě zmobilizovat sílu, schopnou překonat strach i přirozený pud sebezáchovy.
