This remarkable and monumental book at last provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old riddle of whether there are only a small number of ''basic stories'' in the world. Using a wealth of examples, from ancient myths and folk tales via the plays and novels of great literature to the popular movies and TV soap operas of today, it shows that there are seven archetypal themes which recur throughout every kind of storytelling.But this is only the prelude to an investigation into how and why we are ''programmed'' to imagine stories in these ways, and how they relate to the inmost patterns of human psychology. Drawing on a vast array of examples, from Proust to detective stories, from the Marquis de Sade to E.T., Christopher Booker then leads us through the extraordinary changes in the nature of storytelling over the past 200 years, and why so many stories have ''lost the plot'' by losing touch with their underlying archetypal purpose.Booker analyses why evolution has given us the need to tell stories and illustrates how storytelling has provided a uniquely revealing mirror to mankind''s psychological development over the past 5000 years.This seminal book opens up in an entirely new way our understanding of the real purpose storytelling plays in our lives, and will be a talking point for years to come.

The best-selling book on heart disease, updated with the latest research and clinical findings on high-fat/ketogenic diets, sugar, genetics, and other factors.Heart disease is the #1 killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols—with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol—have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry.The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease, including: inflammation, fibrinogen, triglycerides, homocysteine, belly fat, triglyceride to HDL ratios, and high glycemic levels.Best-selling health authors Jonny Bowden, PhD, and Stephen Sinatra, MD, give readers a four-part strategy based on the latest studies and clinical findings for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management. Myths vs. FactsMyth: High cholesterol is the cause of heart disease.Fact: Cholesterol is only a minor player in the cascade of inflammation which is a cause of heart disease.Myth: Saturated fat is dangerous.Fact: Saturated fats are not dangerous. The killer fats are the transfats from partially hydrogenated oils.​Myth: The higher the cholesterol, the shorter the lifespan.Fact: Higher cholesterol protects you from gastrointestinal disease, pulmonary disease, and hemorrhagic stroke.Myth: High cholesterol is a predictor of heart attack.Fact: There is no correlation between cholesterol and heart attacks.Myth: Lowering cholesterol with statin drugs will prolong your life.Fact: There is no data to show that statins have a significant impact on longevity.Myth: Statin drugs are safe.Fact: Statin drugs can be extremely toxic including causing death.Myth: Statin drugs are useful in men, women, and the elderly.Fact: Statin drugs do the best job in middle-aged men with coronary disease.Myth: Statin drugs are useful in middle-aged men with coronary artery disease because of its impact on cholesterol.Fact: Statin drugs reduce inflammation and improve blood viscosity (thinning blood). Statins are extremely helpful in men with low HDL and coronary artery disease.

In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6, President Donald Trump and his allies fought to reverse the outcome of the vote. Focusing on six states - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - Trump''s supporters claimed widespread voter fraud.Caught up in this effort were scores of activists, lawyers, judges and state and local officials, among them Rohn Bishop, enthusiastic chairman of the Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, Republican Party, who would be branded a traitor for refusing to say his state''s election was tainted, and Ruby Freeman, a part-time ballot counter in Atlanta who found herself accused of being a ''professional vote scammer'' by the President. Working with a team of researchers and reporters, Mark Bowden and Matthew Teague uncover never-before-told accounts from the election officials fighting to do their jobs amid outlandish claims and threats to themselves, their colleagues and their families. The Steal is an engaging, in-depth report on what happened during those crucial nine weeks and a portrait of the heroic individuals who did their duty and stood firm against the unprecedented, sustained attack on the US election system and ensured that every legal vote was counted and the will of the people prevailed.

''Your book is the "really good book. Just one" that Roger Butler would have wanted'' - Sir Ian McKellen''Absorbing and often very moving'' - Peter Parker, Spectator''Sir, we are homosexuals . . .''So began the letter penned by Roger Butler and sent to several British newspaper editors - some of whom were so shocked they thought it was a hoax - in June 1960. Writing such a letter seven years before the decriminalisation of homosexuality was a radical and dangerous move. It was a risk that set a major milestone in the fight for gay rights - one that has been almost entirely forgotten.This is the story of the first man to come out voluntarily, using his own name, to the entire British public, a decade before activists started petitioning gay people everywhere to ''come out proud''. Taking us through a criminalised underworld of gay pubs, parties and activist meetings, The Light of Day charts how Roger helped bring about the legalisation of homosexuality, but soon found himself marginalised from the movement he kickstarted after losing his sight in his early 30s.Enter Christopher - a student asked to visit and read to an old, blind man at the beginning of a new century. As their intergenerational friendship bloomed, Roger came to trust Christopher with his most precious possession: memoirs of his revolutionary past, locked away in his home. After Roger''s death, Christopher opened a series of unsent letters, left in a pink folder, addressed to him. They contained Roger''s final wish, for Christopher finally to bring his remarkable, hidden story into the light of day.''Remarkable . . . a splendidly sprawling part biography, part autobiography, part history and part social commentary . . . the result, a true account, benefits greatly from a lightness, a candour untethered to any agenda or argument'' - Times Literary Supplement''Faithfully and beautifully told'' - Mail on Sunday

Monografie, jež vychází u příležitosti padesátých narozenin Kamila Mrvy, představuje rozsáhlé, čtvrt století se vyvíjející dílo. Stavby tohoto úspěšného architekta se objevují především v okolí Beskyd: dokazují, že lze žít v souladu s krajinným rázem a tradicí, a přitom nerezignovat na soudobý životní styl. "V tomto ohledu byl Kamil Mrva bezesporu průkopníkem nového, velmi empatického přístupu k architektuře", upozorňuje spisovatel Petr Volf. Zvláštní pozornost je v knize věnována jeho práci pro Trojanovice, jež podle poroty soutěže Architekt obci 2023 můžou "připomínat valašskou obdobu švýcarského Vrinu, kde též jediný architekt, Gion Caminada, dlouhodobě, samostatně a na světové úrovni pečuje o jednu odlehlou horskou obci". Jenom těžko nalezneme architekta, který by dokázal tak vyloženě pozitivně ovlivnit podobu rodinných domů, ale také škol, sportovišť, prodejen, turistických center stejně jako industriálních staveb či veřejných prostranství, jako se to v jednadvacátém století podařilo Kamilu Mrvovi. S jeho tvorbou se můžeme setkat na venkově, ve městech, ale i v metropolích, jakými jsou Ostrava, Brno nebo Praha - a vedle Česka také na Slovensku či Polsku. Regionální architekt tak dosáhl krok za krokem nadregionální, ba mezinárodní význam, a svým komplexním přístupem inspiruje novou generaci architektů. The present monograph, published to commemorate the fiftieth birthday of Kamil Mrva, presents his extensive oeuvre developing across a quarter of a century. The buildings of this successful architect have appeared primarily in the region of the Beskydy Mountains: confirming that it is possible to live in harmony with a landscape's character and traditions while not being forced to relinquish contemporary aesthetics or comfort. "In this aspect, Kamil Mrva was undoubtedly the pioneer of a new, highly empathetic approach to architecture”, notes author Petr Volf. Particular attention is paid in the book to his work for the small town of Trojanovice, which in the view of the jury for the competition "Local Architect 2023” can "recall a Wallachian parallel to the Swiss village of Vrin, where likewise a single architect, Gion Caminada, has taken long-term, independent, and world-class care of this remote mountain settlement”. It would be hard indeed to find an architect that has had such an unambiguously positive influence on the form of family houses, yet equally schools, sports complexes, retail outlets, tourist information centres, or even industrial buildings or public spaces, as Kamil Mrva has managed to do in the twenty-first century. His work can be encountered in the countryside, in small towns, or even in the metropolises of Ostrava, Brno, or Prague - and outside the Czech Republic, also in Slovakia and Poland. As such, this regional architect has increasingly reached national, indeed even international significance, with his thorough and complex approach inspiring a new generation of practitioners.

Christopher Tolkien’s masterly translation of the Icelandic Heidrek’s Saga, including the dramatic Battle of the Goths and the Huns, the lyrical Waking of Angantyr, and the unique riddle-contest between King Heidrek and the god Odin.Heidrek’s Saga is a medieval entertainment – a ‘romance’, but a romance that derives little of its matter from the literature of France or Germany. It is an example of a kind of story-telling that was flourishing in Iceland by the beginning of the twelfth century, and which (in contrast to the more celebrated ‘Sagas of the Icelanders’) told of legendary figures whose origins lie far back in time beyond the settlement of the country.The elements of the story, diverse in age and atmosphere, are unified in the theme of a possession bearing an ancestral curse, as it passes down the generations; but the saga’s peculiar value lies in the older poems which the unknown author set into the framework of his narrative, including The Battle of the Goths and the Huns, perhaps the oldest of all the Northern heroic lays, The Waking of Angantyr, source of many eighteenth-century ‘Gothic Odes’, and the unique riddle-contest between King Heidrek and the god Odin in disguise.Translated from the Icelandic with Introduction, Notes and Appendices by Christopher Tolkien, then Lecturer in Old English at New College, Oxford, The Saga of King Heidrek the Wise was first published in 1960 in Nelson’s Icelandic Texts series. Marking Christopher Tolkien''s centenary, this first ever paperback edition also includes his original essay ''The Battle of the Goths and the Huns'' as a bonus chapter.

Winner of the Wolfson History Prize, Christopher Clark''s Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia 1600-1947 is a compelling account of a country that played a pivotal role in Europe''s fortunes and fundamentally shaped our world. Prussia began as a medieval backwater, but transformed itself into a major European power and the force behind the creation of the German empire, until it was finally abolished by the Allies after the Second World War. With great flair and authority, Christopher Clark describes Prussia''s great battles, dynastic marriages and astonishing reversals of fortune, its brilliant and charismatic leaders from the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg to Bismarck and Frederick the Great, the military machine and the progressive, enlightened values on which it was built. ''Fascinating ... masterly ... littered with intriguing detail and wry observation'' Richard Overy, Daily Telegraph ''A terrific book ... the definitive history of this much-maligned state'' Daily Telegraph Books of the Year ''You couldn''t have the triumph and the tragedy of Prussia better told'' Observer ''A magisterial history of Europe''s only extinct power'' Financial Times ''Exemplary ... an illuminating, profoundly satisfying work of history'' The New York Times Christopher Clark is a lecturer in Modern European History at St Catharine''s College, University of Cambridge. He is also the author of Kaiser Wilhelm II: A Life in Power.
