My Penguin Year - Lindsay McCrae
BBC DYNASTIES CAMERAMAN'S ENTHRALLING STORY OF EMPEROR PENGUIN LIFE'Part adventure story, part evocation of the last untouched place on Earth, this is mesmerising.' Daily Mail - Books of the Year Chris Packham says:'A dramatic saga forged by passion, honesty and a rare skill as a naturalist and film-maker. Twelve men have walked on the moon. But how many have spent an entire season with the Emperors in Antarctica? Maybe more, likely less. Lindsay McCrae has - and this is his wonderful and frank story. There are lines of penguins and blizzards, but there's also the emotional turmoil of being separated from his home, his new wife and his unborn child. All his musings and observations combine to produce a compelling tale of the man, those extraordinary birds and that lonely place at the end of the earth. So turn off the heating, put on your gloves and head deep south into a frozen land of dreams and nightmares, all played out in the world of beautiful Emperors'~'[This] remarkable memoir is rich in the technological and logistical challenges of filming in extreme conditions. But most gripping are his fine-tuned observations of these beautiful metre-high birds, which must survive and raise their young in temperatures as low as -60?(deg)C' - NatureWhen the BBC asked BAFTA-winning cameraman Lindsay McCrae to go to Antarctica to film emperor penguins he was thrilled. After discussing it with his wife Becky they agreed that, although it would mean him being away for 11 months, he should do it. But then she became pregnant and it seemed like the worst idea in the world - not just to miss the birth of his first child, but the first 7 months of his life. Weeks of anguished discussions followed before they decided he should go because it was his dream project and the chance might never come again. My Penguin Year recounts Lindsay's adventure to the end of the Earth, filming the most resilient creatures in nature, while coping with being over 15,000km away from Becky and all the comforts of home - something which almost proved too much. Out of that experience he has written an unprecedented portrait of Antarctica's most extraordinary residents, the emperor penguins. They march up to 100 miles over solid ice to reach their breeding grounds. They choose to breed in the depths of the worst winter on the planet; and in an unusual role reversal, the males incubate the eggs, fasting for over 100 days to ensure they introduce their chicks safely into their new frozen world. And they are uniquely vulnerable to the unprecedented melting of the polar ice cap.In weaving their story with his epic journey, Lindsay has created a masterpiece of natural observation - and a deeply moving tale of human endeavour in the harshest environment on the planet.

The Many Hundreds of the Scent - Shane McCrae
A TELEGRAPH BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023''One of the most erudite and inventive poets of our time'' GuardianShane McCrae, one of the most powerful voices in contemporary poetry, returns with The Many Hundreds of the Scent, an urgent new collection that brims with lyric force. He expands both the poetic and the personal mythologies that he has been constructing over the course of his career; in addition to introducing his readers to ''the thin king / who eats the world,'' McCrae invites them to bear witness to his tangle of childhood memories. In brutal, sorrowful lines, he recounts being kidnapped by his white supremacist maternal grandparents from his Black father as a boy. ''O reader, listener, stay,'' McCrae writes. ''You are now evidence.''In The Many Hundreds of the Scent, Homeric figures mingle with those that populate the poet''s world. Helen weighs Paris''s spear in her hand and bloodies a raging Achilles; Penelope burns her loom each night; Dido watches Aeneas''s ship burn on the horizon. A strikingly original and engaging poet, McCrae continually surprises - the collection includes a series of poems about the advent of post-rock and Hex, the debut album of the band Bark Psychosis. With this collection, he has once more crafted an extraordinarily affecting book of poetry. As Kate Kellaway writes in the Guardian, ''In McCrae''s hands, poetry is reclamation. It is also transport: writing a way out and through.''

Pulling the Chariot of the Sun - Shane McCrae
Vulture’s #1 Memoir of 2023 An unforgettable, “lyrical and poignant” (The Washington Post) memoir by an award-winning poet about being kidnapped from his Black father and raised by his white supremacist grandparents.When Shane McCrae was three years old, his grandparents kidnapped him and took him to suburban Texas. His mom was white and his dad was Black, and to hide his Blackness from him, his maternal grandparents stole him from his father. In the years that followed, they manipulated and controlled him, refusing to acknowledge his heritage—all the while believing they were doing what was best for him. For their own safety and to ensure the kidnapping remained a success, Shane’s grandparents had to make sure that he never knew the full story, so he was raised to participate in his own disappearance. But despite elaborate fabrications and unreliable memories, Shane begins to reconstruct his own story and to forge his own identity. Gradually, the truth unveils itself, and with the truth, comes a path to reuniting with his father and finding his own place in the world. A revelatory account of an American childhood that hauntingly echoes the larger story of race in our country, Pulling the Chariot of the Sun is written with the virtuosity and heart of one of the finest poets writing today. A powerful reflection on what is broken in America—this is “an essential story for our times” (Hilton Als, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of White Girls).

Průvodce fotografováním portrétů a postav - Lindsay Adlerová
Správná póza je základ kvalitní fotografie. Naučte se, jak prostřednictvím pózování dosáhnout přesně toho, co chcete! Při fotografování lidí můžete mít skvělou kompozici, dokonalé světlo a správné nastavení fotoaparátu, ale pokud váš objekt nevypadá správně – pokud póza „nefunguje“ – nedosáhnete dokonalého snímku. Pózování je skutečně zásadní dovedností, kterou fotografové musí mít, aby vytvořili skvělé fotografie. Pokud chcete zlepšit svou schopnost pózovat objekty, ať už jsou to muži, ženy, páry, nebo skupiny, kniha skvělé fotografky Lindsay Adlerové Průvodce fotografováním portrétů a postav: Jak vytvořit skvělé fotografie v každé situaci (The Photographer's Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter Everyone) je pro vás dokonalým zdrojem informací. V první části knihy Lindsay pojednává o tom, jak fotoaparát „vidí“, tedy, jak úhel fotoaparátu, výběr objektivu a perspektiva ovlivňují vzhled vašeho objektu. Poté pokryje pět nejdůležitějších věcí, které ničí pózu – jako je umístění rukou, výraz, držení těla atd. Pokud zvládnete dávat si pozor na těchto pět věcí, vaše dovednosti (a vaše snímky) se rychle zlepší. Následně se ponoříte do „základů pózování“, dozvíte se postup, jak začít se „základní pózou“, jak na ní stavět a vytvořit tak nekonečné příležitosti k pózování. Zabývat se budete také pózováním obličeje, v knize najdete specifické části věnované bradě, čelisti, očím a čelu. A samozřejmě také pózování rukou. Ve druhé polovině knihy věnuje autorka celé kapitoly konkrétnímu tématu: ženám, mužům, párům, ženám s křivkami, rodinám a malým i velkým skupinám. V každé kapitole jsou řešeny specifické výzvy daného úkolu. Lindsay nabízí pět „běžných pozic“, které můžete vždy použít, a popisuje, jak trénovat oko, aby určilo nejlepší pózu pro vaše modely. V poslední kapitole je vše přehledně shrnuto tak, abyste si byli jisti, že máte veškeré znalosti, které vás dovedou k dokonalým fotografiím.

Lindsey Vonnová - Můj příběh - Lindsey Vonnová
Vůbec první autobiografie nejuznávanější lyžařky všech dob odhaluje její dosud nevyprávěné osobní příhody, její boj s depresemi i odvážná rozhodnutí, která Lindsey Vonnové pomohla překonat problémy na sjezdovkách i mimo ně. Během své bohaté kariéry pohledná Američanka vyhrála 82 závodů Světového poháru, posbírala tři olympijské medaile a sedm z mistrovství světa. Lindsey nabízí fascinující pohled na neúnavnou honbu za svými limity, při jejichž dosahování tlačila své tělo až za hranici únosnosti. Tato ikonická odvaha a vytrvalost jí sice pomohly k řadě vítězství, ale vyžádala si svou daň – samozřejmě fyzickou, ale také psychickou. Kniha tak je inspirativním pohledem na její těžce vybojovaný úspěch a zároveň upřímným zhodnocením obětí, které na své cestě musela přinést.

Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory - Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Audiokniha Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory (Velmi praktický návod, jak se domluvit prakticky s každým) Autoři Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay. Čte Jan Eisler. Zdá se, že v současné atmosféře je nemožné vést rozumnou konverzaci s někým, kdo zastává odlišný názor. Ať už zveřejňujete svoje postoje na sociálních sítích nebo mluvíte se spolužáky ve škole či s kolegy v zaměstnání (nebo jen doufáte, že přežijete ve zdraví rodinnou večeři s tvrdohlavým příbuzným), dialog skončí ve chvíli, když se vaše názory zkříží. Vyhrocené debaty pak často končí urážkami a výčitkami, přičemž obojí blokuje jakoukoli možnost produktivní diskuze. Skoro se zdá, jako by dnes všichni měli při konverzaci stále prst připravený na spoušti zbraně. V audioknize Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory autoři Peter Boghossian a James Lindsay seznamují čtenáře s přímočarými a praktickými konverzačními technikami, které jsou nezbytné k vedení rozhovorů na různá kontroverzní témata jako jsou klimatická změna, náboženské přesvědčení, genderová identita, rasová otázka, chudoba, imigrace nebo otázka kontroly prodeje střelných zbraní. Boghossian a Lindsay vás naučí, jak vzbudit u partnera během dialogu pochybnosti a jak následně otevřít jeho mysl. Postupně provádějí čtenáře různými úrovněmi konverzace – od úplných základů, jakými jsou rady a návody pro vedení kvalitního dialogu, až po techniky na úrovni expertů, které se dají uplatnit při rozhovorech s názorovými extremisty. Audiokniha je užitečným manuálem pro každého, kdo se chce naučit vést zdvořilou konverzaci a snaží se, aby jeho rozhovory s partnery byly prodchnuty snahou o porozumění a empatii. Nahrávka vznikla podle knihy Petera Boghossiana a Jamese Lindsaye Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory (Velmi praktický návod, jak se domluvit prakticky s každým) vydané v roce 2021.

Ravenminder - Lindsay Cummings
'Had me hooked from the very first pages' Sarah J. Maas, praise for Lindsay Cummings 'Plot twists galore … perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas, George R. R. Martin and Raven Kennedy' READER REVIEW ????? A kingdom at war. A girl with a gift. A destiny to be revealed. Your new romantasy obsession awaits in this captivating epic adventure … The sky is a dangerous place for a girl without wings. In the war-torn kingdom of Lordach, Ezer has spent two years as the Ravenminder of Rendegard. Chained in a prison tower’s aviary, she pays the debts of the man she calls uncle, who rescued her after shadow wolves killed her parents. With three glittering scars on her cheek and mystical ‘strangeties’ unlike any magic in their world, Ezer is haunted by dreams of her death at the hands of an unknown warrior. Then a Sacred Knight arrives to recruit Ezer for the fight against the enemy, the Acolyte. When her affinity with birds reveals itself on the journey to the Citadel, she is given a new mission: to help the Prince of Lordach tame one of the Acolyte’s captured raphons. Half giant raven, half black panther, these creatures are as loyal to the Acolyte as his strongest darksoul soldiers . . and only they can make the flight to infiltrate his lair. While Ezer forges an unbreakable bond with the raphon, her heart becomes torn between the loyal Knight and the mysterious Prince. But as her dreams take on new clarity, she finds herself faced with a choice and a question: has the darkness been her destiny all along? ?Readers are GRIPPED by Ravenminder?: 'A dark, romantic fantasy that had me completely gagged. Our FMC is fierce, flawed, and unforgettable. The writing is vivid, the pacing was perfect, and the plot had me hooked all the way to the end' 'The ending left me breathless and already craving the sequel' 'What an exciting plot, vivid storytelling and relatable, rich characters. I couldn't put this book down – absolutely loved it' 'This book had everything I crave in a fantasy read — and then some…I'm screaming, crying, already wanting the sequel' 'The ending was so unexpected … I can't rest until I get my hands on book 2!!' 'Original, memorable, and filled with interesting, believable characters' 'Wow… I absolutely devoured this book!' 'The worldbuilding is layered and beautifully crafted, with a fresh magic system that feels original' 'Lindsay literally made me fall in love with every single character in this book. I loved both princes, and found myself rooting for both of them to win over Ezer' Perfect for fans of: Romance ?? Action & Adventure Magic ?? Mysterious creatures *** Lindsay Cummings became a No. 1 New York Times bestseller in July 2018 for ZENITH
