Audiokniha: Co kdyby existovala možnost přesunout do naší doby člověka z minulosti? V Británii vzniká pilotní projekt usilující přivést pečlivě zvolenou pětici návštěvníků z dávných dob do současnosti. Přesunu v časoprostoru se dočká i Graham Gore: námořní důstojník a polární badatel, který se roku 1845 vydal na palubě lodi Erebus vstříc nelítostné Arktidě během tragické Franklinovy výpravy. Podle dobových pramenů zahynul mrazivou smrtí. Výzkumníci ho však dokázali včas vyjmout z příslušné časové linie, a tak nemluvného elegána čeká setkání s pracovnicí ministerstva, jež dostala na starost jeho začlenění do moderní společnosti. Gore je tak nucen překonávat nejen nejrůznější nástrahy našeho světa v podobě SUV, Spotify či důvěrných hovorů s neprovdanými mladými ženami, ale především trauma nepatřičnosti tváří v tvář bídnému osudu své posádky. Nečekaným výzvám ovšem čelí i sama výzkumnice. Když totiž odhlédne od faktu, nakolik je její svěřenec působivý, jsou tu pochyby o pravém smyslu projektu, kterému se propůjčila…Jeden z nejlepších debutů roku 2024 si získal čtenáře po celém světě hravým, a přitom promyšleným skloubením žánrů romance, thrilleru a sci-fi.

One of the most remarkable stories in the history of Special Forces' operations - Daily ExpressIn the bleak moments after defeat on mainland Europe in winter 1939, wartime leader Winston Churchill knew that Britain had to strike back hard.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare tells of the daring victories for this small force of 'freelance pirates' in their many missions against the Nazis, often dressed in enemy uniforms and breaking all previously held rules of warfare.Master storyteller and military historian Damien Lewis brings the true adventures of the secret unit to life, from their earliest missions to the death of the group's leader just weeks before the end of World War Two.

Another, William Fairbairn, was the world''s leading expert in silent killing.

Delve into the depths of Paul’s experiential and godly wisdom in 2 Timothy and Titus, and find encouragement for your own ministry These are difficult days for those who pastor God’s people. In many parts of the world, especially in the West, culture and society have turned away from their Christian past, as if from something both passé and repulsive. Churches are profoundly divided over how to cope with this disorientating situation, and there is much unseemly confrontation. It is no wonder then that many people who might previously have considered giving their lives to full–time ministry in the church are now uneasy and uncertain at the prospect.  And yet it is at just such a time — when huge swathes of the population are ignorant of even the basics of the faith, and churchgoers are often left confused and bewildered by the deep public rifts in the church —that we need trustworthy spiritual guides.  Paul, an apostle, missionary church planter, and a pastor of great experience, wrote to Timothy and Titus, his trusted younger colleagues in the ministry. They were facing huge challenges in serving the gospel, trying to keep their churches safe from charlatans and false ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Sunday Times History Book of the Year 2015Britain''s railways have been a vital part of national life for nearly 200 years. Transforming lives and landscapes, they have left their mark on everything from timekeeping to tourism. As a self-contained world governed by distinctive rules and traditions, the network also exerts a fascination all its own.From the classical grandeur of Newcastle station to the ceaseless traffic of Clapham Junction, from the mysteries of Brunel''s atmospheric railway to the lost routines of the great marshalling yards, Simon Bradley explores the world of Britain''s railways, the evolution of the trains, and the changing experiences of passengers and workers. The Victorians'' private compartments, railway rugs and footwarmers have made way for air-conditioned carriages with airline-type seating, but the railways remain a giant and diverse anthology of structures from every period, and parts of the system are the oldest in the world.Using fresh research, keen observation and a wealth of cultural references, Bradley weaves from this network a remarkable story of technological achievement, of architecture and engineering, of shifting social classes and gender relations, of safety and crime, of tourism and the changing world of work. The Railways shows us that to travel through Britain ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Time is an illusion. Although the laws of physics create a powerful impression that time is flowing, in fact there are only timeless ''nows''. In THE END OF TIME, the British theoretical physicist Julian Barbour describes the coming revolution in our understanding of the world: a quantum theory of the universe that brings together Einstein''s general theory of relativity, which denies the existence of a unique time, and quantum mechanics, which demands one. Barbour believes that only the most radical of ideas can resolve the conflict between these two theories: that there is, quite literally, no time at all. This is the first full-length account of the crisis in our understanding that has enveloped quantum cosmology. Unifying thinking that has never been brought together before in a book for the general reader, Barbour reveals the true architecture of the universe and demonstrates how physics is coming up sharp against the extraordinary possibility that the sense of time passing emerges from a universe that is timeless. The heart of the book is the author''s lucid description of how a world of stillness can appear to be teeming with motion: in this timeless world where all possible instants coexist, complex mathematical rules ...

Winner of the ASE Science Book of the Year Award 2016/17. Geologists are among that group of scientists who must factor the passage of time into their investigations and they thus have a perspective on time that sets them apart from many other researchers. The proposition that geological time is vast, encompassing thousands of millions of years, is relatively recent. It is a concept that remains controversial and unacceptable to many people today who still consider the Earth to have been made to a timetable covering no more than ten thousand years.Paul Lyle examines how our fascination with time has developed from our earliest ancestors' recognition of the cycles of the sun and the moon. It considers the passage of time as a series of non-repeatable events, Time's Arrow, in contrast to time as a series of repeated processes, Time's Cycle, both of which can be used to explain geological features on the Earth's surface.The author argues for a greater understanding of geological or ‘deep time’ as society becomes more aware of the vulnerability of the Earth's resources to over-exploitation by an expanding consumer society. This debate and the controversy surrounding global warming emphasises the importance of geological time to ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Stephen Hawking''s worldwide bestseller, A Brief History of Time, has been a landmark volume in scientific writing. Its author''s engaging voice is one reason, and the compelling subjects he addresses is another: the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, the history and future of the universe. But it is also true that in the years since its publication, readers have repeatedly told Professor Hawking of their great difficulty in understanding some of the book''s most important concepts. This is the origin of and the reason for A Briefer History of Time: its author''s wish to make its content accessible to readers - as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and findings.Although this book is literally somewhat ''briefer'', it actually expands on the great subjects of the original. Purely technical concepts, such as the mathematics of chaotic boundary conditions, are gone. Conversely, subjects of wide interest that were difficult to follow because they were interspersed throughout the book have now been given entire chapters of their own, including relativity, curved space, and quantum theory.This reorganization has allowed the authors to expand areas of special interest and recent progress, from the latest ...
