Moving Beyond Broke - Dasha Kennedy
In the vein of Get Good with Money and The Black Girl’s Guide to Financial Freedom, an accessible, witty, and necessary guide from the beloved creator of The Broke Black Girl that addresses the unique financial issues of Black women and others shut out of traditional finance conversations. Dasha Kennedy grew up in a family where finances were not discussed. At fifteen, she already had bad money habits that would follow her into adulthood. At nineteen, she realized that the Fortune 500 executives who promote financial literacy did not look or sound anything like her. And she knew she couldn’t be the only person who felt as lost and overlooked as she did when it came to money management. So, she started the website The Broke Black Girl and discovered an entire community of people who were desperate for money advice and understanding. Now, Kennedy provides the ultimate user-friendly resource, featuring engaging and relatable stories from her own personal finance journey. With actionable advice and an engaging voice, she helps us take control, move past shame and anxiety, build family wealth in a single generation, and become financially independent forever.

Dasha: Dasha Symphony (CD)
Dasha Symphony = čistá radost z hudby bez hranic. Zpěvačka Dasha patří již řadu let k nejpopulárnějším interpretkám naší domácí hudební scény. Proto je překvapivé, že nyní vydává teprve druhé sólové album! Zatímco debutová deska Konečně z roku 2017 obsahovala původní písně, jejichž většinovým autorem byl sám producent nahrávky David Solař, tentokrát si Dasha vybrala převážně osvědčený světový repertoár. Nahrávka alba Dasha Symphony vychází ideově z již existujícího koncertního programu a původně se mělo jednat o živý záznam koncertu Dashy s Filharmonií Hradec Králové, ale s ohledem na letošní jarní karanténu a nemožnost koncerty uskutečnit před diváky vzniklo nakonec nové album studiově. Nahrávání hudebních základů proběhlo v sále filharmonie a následně Dasha společně se svým hudebním souputníkem a velkým kamarádem Davidem Solařem natočila všechny vokály v intimním domáckém prostředí studia SO-LA-RO na Vyžlovce. Vznikl tak opravdu velkorysý hudební počin s výtečně hrajícím orchestrem a doprovodnou kapelou, se zdařilými aranžemi Martina Kumžáka, který se zhostil i role dirigenta, a v neposlední řadě se skvěle zpívající Dashou. Album Dasha Symphony obsahuje světové hity nedávné i vzdálenější minulosti, zazpívané mimořádně důstojně vůči originálům. Všechny písně jsou dlouhodobě zařazeny do repertoáru Dashy a samozřejmě se také v průběhu minulých let objevily v populárním televizním pořadu StarDance. Zní zde převážně angličtina, ale i francouzština a italština, a navíc ve třech nahrávkách i čeština. Poprvé se zde na oficiálně vydané nahrávce objeví i 15 let stará původní písnička Modlitba, patřící mezi nejoblíbenější v koncertním programu Dashy. Dasha Symphony je pomyslným soundtrackem hudebního života Dashy. Nechybí zde hity jako Don t You Worry bout a Thing (Stevie Wonder), Fantasy (Earth Wind And Fire), Empire State Of Mind (Alicia Keys), Get Here (Oleta Adams), Fields Of Gold (Sting) nebo Man In The Mirror od Michaela Jacksona, na který vznikl i nový videoklip, a další. Speciální pozornost pak určitě zaslouží skladba Adagio, klasické dílo barokního skladatele Tomaso Albinoniho s italským textem Lary Fabian. Celkově se jedná o mimořádný hudební projekt, bořící všechny pomyslné hranice. Tracklist: 1. Empire State of Mind 04:34 2. Man in the Mirror 04:14 3. Fields of Gold 04:38 4. Derniere Danse 03:21 5.

Das Sagenumwobene Prag - Anna Novotná
NEJPROSLULEJŠÍ PRAŽSKÉ PAMĚTIHODNOSTI OPŘEDENÉ LEGENDAMIPůvaby Prahy tkví hluboko v její historii a nezaměnitelné atmosféře. Když jednou vstoupíte do jejích tajemných zákoutí, už se nedokážete z tohoto magického objetí vymanit. Zamilujete se. Vnímáte Prahu všemi smysly. Mezi tóny kostelních zvonů a zvonků možná zaslechnete z věže Pražského hradu i skřipky rytíře Dalibora. Na Karlově mostě se náhodou dotknete kamene, který skrývá čarovný Bruncvíkův meč, a na Staroměstské mostecké věži zahlédnete portrét odvážné lazebnice Zuzany. V kostele u Pražského Jezulátka pocítíte závan křídel sedmi strážných andělů a na Židovském Městě se stín obrovského muže z hlíny mihne kdesi za Staronovou synagogou. Socha knížete Václava na Václavském náměstí, ohnivý kostlivec nebo šílený holič v Karlově ulici ...ti všichni a mnohé další legendární postavy skládají poezii staré Prahy. DIE BERÜHMTESTEN SAGENUMWOBENEN PRAGER SEHENSWÜRDIGKEITENDer Zauber der Stadt Prag ist tief mit ihrer Geschichte und ihrer unverwechselbaren Atmosphäre verbunden. Wer die geheimnisvollen Winkel der Stadt einmal betreten hat, kann sich ihrem magischen Bann nicht mehr entziehen. Er verliebt sich in diese Stadt und beginnt sie mit allen seinen Sinnen wahrzunehmen: Zwischen den Schlägen der vielen Glocken und Glöckchen von Prag hört er dann vielleicht auch die Töne des Geigenspiels des eingekerkerten Ritters Dalibor. Mit ein bisschen Glück kann er auf der Karlsbrücke das Schwert des Ritters Bruncvík entdecken, das angeblich in einem der Brückensteine eingemauert ist, und sicher findet er auch am Altstädter Brückenturm das Porträt der mutigen Baderin Susanna. In der Kirche des Prager Jesukinds (Kirche Maria vom Siege) wird er den Flügelschlag der sieben Schutzengel spüren und in der Prager Judenstadt den Schatten einer riesigen Mannesfigur aus Ton irgendwo hinter der Altneusynagoge verschwinden sehen. Das Reiterstandbild des heiligen Wenzel auf dem Wenzelsplatz, das feurige Gerippe oder der verrückt gewordene Barbier aus der Karlsgasse ..., sie und viele andere Figuren aus Prager Legenden machen die Poesie des alten Prag aus.

Engineers of Victory - Paul Kennedy
From Paul Kennedy, author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, one of the most acclaimed history books of recent decades, Engineers of Victory is a new account of how the tide was turned against the Nazis by the Allies in the Second World War. In January 1943 Churchill and Roosevelt met in Casablanca to review the Allies war aims. To achieve unconditional surrender they had to overcome some formidable hurdles, from winning air command to hopping across the Pacific islands. Eighteen months later, they had done what seemed impossible.Here Paul Kennedy reveals the role of the problem-solvers and middle-men who made it happen - like Major-General Perry Hobart, who invented the funny tanks which flattened the D-Day beaches; or Captain Johnny Walker, who worked out how to sink U-boats with a creeping barrage . This book shows the conflict in an entirely new light. Consistently original ... An important contribution to our understanding Michael Beschloss, The New York Times Book Review [Kennedy s] refreshing study ... asks the right questions, disposes of clichés and gives a rich account of neglected topics David Edgerton, Financial Times Colourfully and convincingly illustrates the ingenuity and persistence of a few people who made all the difference Washington PostPAUL KENNEDY is one of the world s best-selling and most influential historians. He is the author or editor of nineteen books, including The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, which has been translated into over twenty languages, Preparing for the Twenty-First Century, The Parliament of Man and the now classic Rise and Fall of British Naval Mastery.

The Anxiety Prescription - Russell Kennedy
After years of trying different therapies for his crippling anxiety without success, Dr Russell Kennedy had an epiphany: anxiety does not start in the brain. Anxiety starts in the body, where trauma is stored and physical and emotional perception begin. Alarm bells originating in the body are what trigger those anxious thoughts that we call anxiety, and Dr Kennedy realised that true healing starts only when we learn not to conflate the two.He understood that existing therapies focused only on the mind would never get to the root of the problem – at best, they could help manage symptoms, but they’d never truly heal anxiety. Now fully revised and updated, with new material including the Anxiety Toolkit, The Anxiety Prescription blends Dr Kennedy s personal story with medical science, neuroscience and developmental psychology. When you learn how to sever the connection between the somatic alarm and the flood of anxious thoughts – you can begin to heal old trauma and gain back a sense of control.The Anxiety Prescription offers a toolkit of techniques for our thinking minds, and our feeling bodies – changing not just our mindset, but our body-set . Unravelling the intricate relationship between anxiety, the body and the mind, this powerful book offers a profound path toward healing and growth.

How Countries Go Broke - Ray Dalio
Do big government debts and fast rates of adding to them threaten our collective well-being? In this groundbreaking analysis, Ray Dalio, one of the greatest investors of our time and the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Principles, shares the reasons behind his fears for the US debt markets, answering some of the most important market and economic questions we now face: Are there limits to debt growth? Can a big, important reserve currency country like the US really go broke? Is there such a thing as a Big Debt Cycle that can tell us when to worry about debt and what to do about it?For decades, politicians, policymakers and investors have debated these questions, but the Big Debt Cycle that helps answer them is not talked about or well understood. With the US debt issue coming to a head, Dalio’s How Countries Go Broke provides the first-ever detailed analysis of the Big Debt Cycle, explaining its implications and offering a surprisingly straightforward solution to getting debt problems like those faced by the US under control.Dalio has built his career as a leading global macro investor by studying the patterns of history to develop unconventional perspectives on what’s happening in markets and economies today. It was this approach that led him, in the years leading up to the 2008 Great Financial Crisis, to study the Great Depression and other past big debt crises and use what he learned to navigate the turbulent markets successfully. By looking closely at thirty-five cases over the past 100 years when governments have gone broke and studying the mechanics behind them, Dalio has developed a first-of-its-kind template for what to watch for and what to do when the threat is as significant as his measures show that it now is. He has discussed this template with treasury secretaries and central bankers from around the world and is now sharing it with the public to help bring urgent attention to the big risks the US and a number of other countries face – and to explain how to avoid the worst-case scenario.

The literary VC goes without doubt to Max Hastings . . . the story of a march that left behind a trail of blood and death, torture and heroism - Sunday TelegraphWritten from the perspective of the French Resistance, British SOE and SAS, and the German SS, Das Reich is bestselling historian Max Hastings s gripping and powerful examination of wartime brutality in the aftermath of D-Day.Within days of the D-Day landings in June 1944, the elite 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich marched north through France to reinforce the front-line defenders of Hitlerâ ™s Fortress Europe. Veterans of the bloodiest fighting of the Russian Front, 15,000 men with their tanks and artillery, they were hounded for every mile of their march by saboteurs of the Resistance and agents of the Allied Special Forces.Along their route they took reprisals so savage they will live for ever in the chronicles of the most appalling atrocities of war, including the massacre of 642 men, women and children from Ordour-sur-Glane. Even-handed and insightful, Das Reich vividly brings to life a dark period of the Second World War, revealing stories of cruelty on both sides as well as stories of heroism and sacrifice.

Faith, Family, and Flag - Joanna Dee Das
Sons of Britches. The Great American Chuckwagon Dinner Show. The Haygoods. The Grand Jubilee. These are just a couple of the many shows performed in Branson, MO, a popular tourist destination that has played a role in the nationâ ™s culture wars for over one hundred years.  Branson, Missouri, the Ozark Mountain mecca of wholesome entertainment, has been home to countless stage shows espousing patriotism and Christianity, welcoming over ten million visitors a year. Some consider it â œGodâ ™s Countryâ and others â œas close to Hell as anything on Earth.â For Joanna Dee Das, Branson is a political, religious, and cultural harbinger of a certain enduring dream of what America is. She takes Branson more seriously than the light-hearted fun it advertisesâ ”and maybe we should too.  For Das, Bransonâ ™s performers offer visions of the American Dream that embody a set of values known as the three Fs: faith, family, and flag. Branson boosters insist that these are universal values that welcome all people; the city aims to capture as many tourists as possible. But over the past several decades, faith, family, and flag have become markers of contemporary conservatism. The shows and culture of Branson, for all their fun and laughter, have been a galvanizing political force for white, working-and-middle class, Christian Americans. For social and economic conservatives alike, Branson is practically proof-of-concept for America as they want it to be.  Faith, Family, and Flag is a comprehensive history of the Branson entertainment industry, within the context of Americaâ ™s long culture wars. Das reveals how and why a town known for popular entertainment, a domain associated most often with the political left (â œHollywood liberalsâ ), came to be so important to the political right and its vision for America.

Mind blowing CAL FLYNIn this revelatory book, Dr Jonathan Kennedy argues that germs have shaped humanity at every stage, from the first success of Homo sapiens over the equally intelligent Neanderthals to the fall of Rome and the rise of Islam. How did an Indonesian volcano help cause the Black Death, setting Europe on the road to capitalism? How could 168 men extract the largest ransom in history from an opposing army of eighty thousand? And why did the Industrial Revolution lead to the birth of the modern welfare state?The latest science reveals that infectious diseases are not just something that happens to us, but a fundamental part of who we are.Indeed, the only reason humans don t lay eggs is that a virus long ago inserted itself into our DNA, and there are as many bacteria in your body as there are human cells. We have been thinking about the survival of the fittest all wrong: evolution is not simply about human strength and intelligence, but about how we live and thrive in a world dominated by microbes. By exploring the startling intimacy of our relationship with infectious diseases, Kennedy shows how they have been responsible for some of the seismic revolutions of the past 50,000 years.Provocative and brimming with insight, Pathogenesis transforms our understanding of the human story.

Portréty odvahy - John Fitzgerald Kennedy
…činů, kvůli nimž jsem trpěl, ani zdaleka nelituji. Všechny bych je vykonal znovu, pokud by to bylo zapotřebí, i za cenu desateronásobného hanobení, nepřízně a ztráty funkce, prohlásil John Quincy Adams a s jeho slovy by se pravděpodobně ztotožnilo i dalších sedm amerických senátorů, jejichž příběhy líčí John Fitzgerald Kennedy ve svazku Portréty odvahy. Ať už si vydobyli věhlas, jako například Daniel Webster, nebo byli a jsou víceméně neznámými postavami, jako například Edmund G. Ross, projevili všichni tito politici v kritické chvíli odvahu jít proti proudu a nehledět na stranické zájmy a přání voličů. K jejich činům je přimělo vlastní přesvědčení, svědomí, věrnost ústavě a v neposlední řadě také nutkání zachovat se spravedlivě a prospět vlasti. Nejenže si za své jednání vysloužili tvrdou kritiku, ale v mnoha případech si jím navždy zničili kariéru a někdy i osobní život. Kennedy sestavil příběhy svých odvážných předchůdců na základě důkladného studia historických pramenů, avšak jeho styl má daleko do suché faktografie. Vše naopak líčí velice poutavě, se smyslem pro napětí a dramatičnost. Kniha Portréty odvahy, která výrazně přispěla k utváření moderního politického myšlení, tak zůstává podnětnou a přitažlivou četbou i více než padesát let po svém prvním vydání.

Cello - Kate Kennedy
Strikingly original The Times Absorbing Wall Street Journal⠘Just as a cello⠙s voice is divided across four strings, each with its own colour and character, this is a journey in four parts, in search of four players and their instruments...⠙In Cello, Kate Kennedy weaves together the lives of four remarkable cellists who suffered various forms of persecution, injury and misfortune. The Hungarian Jewish cellist and composer Pál Hermann managed to keep one step ahead of the Gestapo for much of the Second World War but was eventually captured and murdered.

Profiles in Mental Health Courage - Patrick J. Kennedy, Stephen Fried
Profiles in Mental Health Courage portrays the journeys of twenty unique Americans who have struggled with different illnesses affecting mental health. This book offers deeply compelling stories about the courage of those battling with a variety of illnesses, from college students to professionals across politics and government, Hollywood and the arts, and tech and business. It follows people with a range of diagnoses, modes of treatment, and life experiences. Their personal stories are intimate, revealing, and just as essential reading for caregivers and family members as it is for readers experiencing these challenges themselves. Kennedy s uncle, President John F. Kennedy, wrote the classic and award-winning Profiles in Courage about eight senators selfless and brave acts that built the nation. In Patrick s book, he uses that same approach to show that living with mental health challenges is about courage, not weakness. As the resounding silence that surrounds these illnesses remains persistent, this book takes an unflinching look at stories of the experience of mental illness and addiction that inspire profound connection, empathy, and action. This is a truthful book about the deeply worrisome, inescapable state of mental health in America, that will raise understanding, sympathy, and tolerance to a new level.

No Tea, No Shade - Alexis Michelle, Olivia Lux, Nina West, Lagoona Bloo, Kennedy Ann Scott, Julie J
No Tea, No Shade is an essential read for anyone who has searched for a way to feel like themselves. -- BooklistIntimate, hilarious, and inspiring essays by celebrated drag queens Kennedy Ann Scott, Lagoona Bloo, Alexis Michelle, Olivia Lux, Julie J., and Nina West. No Tea, No Shade is a collective anthem written by six drag queens who believe in equality, peace, and in a world that loves and respects all people. The defiant legacy of drag will endure fearmongering and hate because their hearts have endured the unthinkable, their courage has been relentlessly tested, and to be blunt, they have the balls to prevail. When these gorgeous queens wear a stunning gown with picture perfect makeup, haters label them as inappropriate and unlawful. They are entertainers not predators. Drag is an art of self-expression that, at its core, affirms and uplifts LGBTQIA+ people. No Tea, No Shade features thirty essays discussing:Social activism, Drag Story Hour, and education. Coming out, gender, and equality. Relationships, setting goals, and rejection. Celebrating womanhood, family, and image. Kennedy Ann Scott was awarded Teacher of the Year in Nashville, Tennessee. Lagoona Bloo starred on the Off-Broadway hit Drag: the Musical, and Alex Michaels received a stellar review from the New York Times for their role in La Cage Aux Falles at Barrington Stage Company. Olivia Lux starred in Rent and Kinky Boots. Julie J raised more than $100,000 for trans and LGBTQIA+ organizations. Nina West received an honorary doctorate in May 2024 and is a well-known entertainer, having worked with everyone from Glenn Close to Kermit the Frog. Despite the pervasive danger of being authentic and real, these drag artists have chosen to fight for LGBTQIA+ rights. They remind us that a personâ ™s identity shouldnâ ™t be marginalized to genitals. Identity categories are not as important as we have been led to believe, and the shade casted on drag is just a scapegoat. It is a distraction political figures and trolls use to lure people away from caring about serious issues like equality, gun violence, poverty, and racism. No Tea, No Shade shines a light on a community of people who are paving the way for a better world and holding the light for others to step up.
