Mushrooms - Liz O
Mushrooms are one of our planetâ ™s most amazing and unusual organisms. Used for millennia as a source of food, medicine, and occasionally poison, mushrooms and toadstools have become part of our cultural histories: for example, a ring of mushrooms was believed to be a magnet for fairies to come out to dance, while in Greek mythology, mushrooms were said to originate from Zeusâ ™s lightning because they appeared after rainstorms. Mushrooms is a photographic guide to the worldâ ™s major species of fungi, from the familiar porcini mushroom, prized for its meaty texture and nutty taste, to the vivid hues of the red-and-white spotted fly agaric, known to cause psychotic reactions if eaten, and the well-named Jelly Ears, its large tan-brown fleshiness found growing on tree branches. Illustrated with 300 photographs and including dimensions and characteristics for each entry, Mushrooms offers a vivid pictorial introduction to fungi for foragers, cooks and all those interested in mycology.

Invaze - Luke Harding
24. únor 2022, den, který změnil Evropu i celý svět. V dramatickém, přesvědčivém a dechberoucím vyprávění o zlomovém okamžiku naší doby podává světoznámý reportér Guardianu a autor několika bestsellerů Luke Harding zprávu o ruské invazi na Ukrajinu z první ruky. Když Putin zahájil brutální útok proti nezávislé zemi, Harding byl přímo na místě, v Kyjevě. Nesmyslné násilí ovšem narazilo na ohromující vzdor - mimo jiné od bojujícího prezidenta Volodymyra Zelenského - a neskutečnou odvahu lidí, kteří byli a jsou připraveni riskovat vše, aby si zachovali svobodu pro sebe i svůj národ. Kniha přináší pronikavý popis historie, kterou stále žijeme. Zaznamenává hlavní události, místa i postavy největšího konfliktu v Evropě od druhé světové války. Sledujeme zvěrstva v Buči, zoufalý vzdor Mariupolu i děsivou ruskou hru v Černobylu. Máme možnost nahlédnout do zákulisí rozhodování Západu i do myšlenkových pochodů diktátora z Kremlu. Harding zachycuje klíčový okamžik dějin s otevřeností, nadhledem a neochvějným zaměřením na lidské příběhy vržené do víru monumentálního boje. Autorem je britský novinář (*1968), spisovatel a oceněný zahraniční zpravodaj deníku The Guardian. V letech 2007 až 2011 vedl jeho moskevskou pobočku. Kreml ho vypověděl ze země jako prvního novináře od konce studené války a v létě 2022 ho zařadil na oficiální černou listinu.

A Short History of Japan - Christopher Harding
A history that somehow manages to be at once succinct and sweeping: essential reading for anyone interested in this most fascinating of countries - Tom Holland The perfect introduction to [Japan s] intriguing society is Christopher Harding⠙s lively new A Short History of Japan... The book is short, yes ⠓ but its scope is long, deep and rich - Rana Mitter, History Extra, History Books of the Year 2025 In this enormously enjoyable introduction to a remarkable country, Christopher Harding traces Japan s rich history over several millennia. Beginning with its earliest coastal communities through to the spread of Buddhism, the rise of the warlords, the promise and menace of the West and Japan s own empire-building, Harding explores how a distinctly Japanese society and culture was forged. Drawing on the latest scholarship, A Short History of Japan moves beyond traditional tourist-board clichés to consider Japan s own view of its past, values and culture, from ceramics and theatre to food and architecture. The result is a sensory, tactile history conveying to the reader much about Japan⠙s special nature. Harding skilfully shows how these everyday details are intimately bound up with the bigger historical picture, as an expression of the values that have been extraordinarily successful in helping the country to cope with centuries of radical change.

Mýty a naděje digitálního světa - Patrick Zandl - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Všimli jste si portrétu ženy na titulní straně knihy? Líbí? Během pár vteřin ho nakreslila Midjourney – stačilo jí dát pár pokynů a navíc za to nic nechtěla. Midjourney je totiž umělá inteligence a třeba o tisíc originálních obrázků ji můžete požádat i vy. Ještě před půl rokem by to nešlo… O knize Digitální technologie se vyvíjejí překotným tempem a je čím dál těžší s nimi držet krok. Který z dnešních vynálezů je pouze „hype“ – bublina odsouzená k prasknutí, a co skutečný „game-changer“? Na odpovědích záleží naše osobní budoucnost, ale i prosperita celé společnosti. Patrick Zandl patří už třetí dekádu mezi přední znalce nových technologií. V této knize srozumitelně objasňuje, jak fungují, a střízlivě posuzuje jejich budoucí potenciál. Neomezuje se přitom na technologie samotné, důraz klade i na jejich společenské dopady. Protože převratné vynálezy přinášejí nečekané příležitosti i nečekané hrozby. Při čtení knihy mimo jiné pochopíte: - Skutečný princip fungování kryptoměn, jejich možnosti a limity. Sami se pak můžete kvalifikovaněji rozhodnout, jestli do nich investovat. - Jakou budoucnost mají další aplikace blockchainu – nahradí tzv. chytré smlouvy notáře? - Proč umělá inteligence představuje revolučního pomocníka v medicíně či průmyslu, ale nebezpečný prvek v trestním systému. - Jaké možnosti kontroly dává technologická revoluce vládám a jak funguje čínský systém sociálního kreditu. - Proč bychom se měli zabývat zamýšlenou evolucí sociálních sítí – metaverzem. - Že se čipy staly nejdůležitější „surovinou“ světa. Kdo je má, vítězí, kdo je nemá, upadá. - Proč nové technologie zvyšují křehkost společnosti, co nám hrozí a jak to všechno přežít. „Když se s novými technologiemi potkáváte, děje se tak zpravidla prostřednictvím nadšených článků věrozvěstů, propagátorů a marketérů, kteří nemají důvod rozebírat stinné stránky, případně si jich ani nejsou vědomi. Jenže selhávání má své zákonitosti a jsem přesvědčený, že aktuální technologická revoluce otřese mnoha jistotami. Každý by měl proto rozumět současným možnostem i rizikům, jinak naše víra v pokrok bude slepá.“ – Patrick Zandl O autorovi Patrick Zandl (* 1974) je technologický publicista, který stál u zrodu českého internetu.

The Light of Asia - Christopher Harding
A rich historyâ ¦ Harding writes with energy and insight, wearing a tremendous amount of learning lightly - Rana Mitter, Financial Times This rich and enjoyable book by the acclaimed author of Japan Story explores the many ways in which Asia has influenced Europe and North America over centuries of tangled, dynamic encountersFrom the time of the ancient Greeks onwards the West s relationship with Asia consisted for the most part of outrageous tales of strange beasts and monsters, of silk and spices shipped over vast distances and an uneasy sense of unknowable empires fantastically far away. By the twentieth century much of Asia might have come under Western rule after centuries of warfare, but its intellectual, artistic and spiritual influence was fighting back.The Light of Asia is a wonderfully varied and entertaining history of the many ways in which Asia has shaped European and North American culture over centuries of tangled, dynamic encounters, and the central importance of this vexed, often confused relationship. From Marco Polo onwards Asia has been both a source of genuine fascination and equally genuine failures of comprehension. China, India and Japan were all acknowledged to be both great civilizations and in crude ways seen as superseded by the West. From Chicago to Calcutta, and from antiquity to the new millennium, this is a rich, involving story of misunderstandings and sincere connection, of inspiration and falsehood, of geniuses, adventurers and con-men.Christopher Harding s captivating gallery of people and places celebrates Asia s impact on the West in all its variety.

Spring Unfurled - Angela Harding
Spring, at all its stages, has an energy that engages us with the outside world. Seasonal change has always been a great inspiration for my artwork. I love the changing light that brings new colours and smells. The seasons are nature s clock, bringing birds from distant shores to nest and breed in our gardens. So it is hard to say exactly when one season stops and the other begins; the changes are not necessarily gradual but come in fits and starts. Seasons have no regard for the official times written down in a calendar. Spring, more than any other of the seasons, is like this. Spring Unfurled is the first book in a stunning seasonal quartet from beloved printmaker and illustrator Angela Harding. Each title in this pocket-sized series takes readers on a journey through the seasons, reflecting Angela s observations as the nature around her transforms and evolves over the course of a year. Taking in landscapes across the UK including views from her home studio in Rutland, to the Scottish wilderness, via the low-lying marshlands of Suffolk and the windswept hills of Yorkshire, the beautiful illustrations and evocative imagery of the prose make this the perfect book for nature lovers and art lovers everywhere.Featuring over thirty of Angela Harding s favourite prints alongside observations taken from her books A Year Unfolding, Wild Light and Still Waters Wild Waves, each short, small book in this seasonal collection is a beautiful new way to enjoy Angela s work and celebrate nature and wildlife across the UK at all times of year.

Gaia Alchemy - Stephan Harding
A bold exploration of the reintegration of rationality and intuition, science and soul, to foster individual and planetary healing During the scientific revolution, science and soul were drastically separated, propelling humanity into four centuries of scientific exploration based solely on empiricism and rationality. But, as scientist and ecologist Stephan Harding, Ph.D., demonstrates in detail, by reintegrating science with profound personal experiences of psyche and soul, we can reclaim our lost sacred wholeness and help heal ourselves and our planet. The book begins with compelling introductions to depth psychology, alchemy, and Gaia theory--the science of seeing the Earth as an intelligent, self-regulating system, a theory pioneered by the author’s mentor James Lovelock. Harding then explores how alchemy, as understood through the depth psychology of C. G. Jung, offers us powerful methods of reuniting rationality and intuition, science and soul. He examines the integration of important alchemical engravings, including those from L’Azoth des Philosophes and the Rosarium Philosophorum, with Gaian science. He shows how the seven key alchemical operations in the Azoth image can help us develop deeply transformative experiences and insights into our interconnectedness with Gaia. He then looks at how the four components of the living Earth--biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere--mesh not only with the four elements of alchemical theory but also with the four functions of consciousness from depth psychology. Woven throughout with the author’s own experiences of Gaia alchemy, the book also offers guided meditations and contemplative exercises to open your receptivity to messages from the biosphere and help you develop your own Gaian alchemical way of life, full of wonder and healing.

Dáma, která měla ráda čisté záchodky - James Patrick Donleavy - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Dáma, která měla ráda čisté záchodky - audiokniha obsahuje humorný příběh o tom, jak se i v neštěstí na vás může osud nečekaně usmát, když si potrpíte na čistých toaletách. Autor James Patrick Donleavy. Čte Petra Špalková, Jan Hartl, Jiří Dvořák. Kronika jedné z nejzvláštnějších událostí, o kterých se kdy v New Yorku povídalo. Román Jamese Patricka Donleavyho vypráví příběh ženy, které se ve třiačtyřiceti letech stalo to, co potkává mnoho lidí v tomto věku – opustí ji životní druh a dospělé děti vyletí z rodného hnízda. Hlavní hrdinka Jocelyn Guenevere Marchantierová-Jonesová (Petra Špalková) se s tím zpočátku vyrovnává se ctí, ale postupem času upadá do podivné strnulosti a čím dál větší materiální bídy. V okamžiku, kdy se už zdá, že její život nemůže dospět jinam než k chmurnému dobrovolnému konci, vyplatí se jí zásada, kterou jí vštěpovala její babička, totiž „používat jen ty nejčistší z čistých záchodků“, a to naprosto nečekaným způsobem. Brilantně vypointovaný, a přitom tak nejednoznačně vyznívající příběh této až do poslední chvíle hrdé, vtipné a ironické hrdinky je zábavný a dojemný zároveň. James Patrick Donleavy James Patrick Donleavy se narodil roku 1926 v New Yorku a většinu svého života prožil v Irsku; proto si ho přisvojuje jak literatura irská, tak americká. Upozornil na sebe už svým debutem z roku 1955 nazvaným Zrzek (The Ginger Man), kritikou řazeným k tvorbě autorových generačních souputníků, anglických rozhněvanců Kingsleyho Amise, Johna Osbornea či Johna Waina, a dodnes vyučovaným na amerických univerzitách jako modelová próza předznamenávající hnutí hippies 60. let. Autor se též prosadil na amerických divadelních scénách svými jednoaktovkami, které se staly pojmem.
