A fast and easy six-step approach for addressing insomnia and other sleep disorders. More than one third of adults suffer from insomnia or some other kind of sleep disorder. Left unaddressed, lack of sleep can lead to debilitated health, lowered resilience, and decreased performance in all aspects of life. Restoring hope to the sleepless, psychotherapist Philip Carr-Gomm reveals how we each have the ability to unlock better sleep naturally. Combining his knowledge of sleep science and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with techniques drawn from spiritual traditions and insights from the emerging field of psychedelic therapy, Carr-Gomm presents a fast and easy-to-follow six-step program to help you sleep better. He explores a multitude of approaches to sleep, as well as sleep difficulties and how to overcome them.

Through his leading role in the three Superman films, Christopher Reeve became so closely identified with the superhero that he wasn''t just seen as the actor who played Superman, he was Superman. Which is why the tragic riding accident which left him paralysed from the neck down shocked the world. Superman was not superhuman. It is also why he is now the world''s most recognisable person in a wheelchair. In true superhero style, Christopher Reeve refuses to resign himself to the life of a quadriplegic, and is actively campaigning to raise the profile of spinal-cord injury victims and research. Although he was initially told that he would only ever be able to move his head, he can now shrug his shoulders and breathe alone for increasing periods of time, and is determined that he will walk again. It is this extraordinary courage and determination that has made Christopher Reeve the internationally admired figure that he is, and it is this bravery which makes this autobiography about his paralysis and his journey to recovery such a powerful and moving story.

"Reeve''s book is an excellent companion to Plato''s Apology and a valuable discussion of many of the main issues that arise in the early dialogues. Reeve is an extremely careful reader of texts, and his familiarity with the legal and cultural background of Socrates'' trial allows him to correct many common misunderstandings of that event. In addition, he integrates his reading of the apology with a sophisticated discussion of Socrates'' philosophy. The writing is clear and succinct, and the research is informed by a thorough acquaintance with the secondary literature. Reeve''s book will be accessible to any serious undergraduate, but it is also a work that will have to be taken into account by every scholar doing advanced research on Socrates." --Richard Kraut, Northwestern University

Simon Reeve velice podrobně, přitom ale nesmírně čtivě líčí nejen průběh dne 5. září 1972, kdy palestinští teroristé na dvacátých olympijských hrách v Mnichově zajali část izraelské sportovní výpravy. Popisuje zoufalé snažení nepřipravených německých policistů, reakce vládních činitelů, všeobecný chaos, všudypřítomné zvědavce a média informující o neštěstí v přímém přenosu. Když vylíčí tragický konec nepovedené záchranné policejní operace, věnuje se tajným akcím izraelské vlády stíhající a vraždící palestinské pachatele. V závěru pojedná o snahách německé vlády celou záležitost vymazat z paměti, aby nevyšlo najevo její pochybení, a opačné úsilí pozůstalých vytrvale žádajících spravedlnost a připomínajících památku mrtvých. Při psaní autor vycházel hlavně z materiálů shromážděných pro natáčení dokumentárního filmu, oceněného Oscarem. Vyprávění dodává Reeve dramatičnost a emotivnost nejen přímými výpověďmi jednotlivých osob, ale i domýšlenými dialogy tak, že kniha působí téměř jako napínavý špionážní román. Dává hlas všem, ale vzhledem k mlčenlivosti oficiálních činitelů zaznívají přece jen nejvíce hlasy pozůstalých, a přes veškerou snahu o nezaujatost je jasné, na čí straně jsou autorovy sympatie. Kniha není jen strhujícím popisem jedné konkrétní teroristické akce, ale přerůstá v obecnou a velmi aktuální připomínku toho, jak nesnadné je vypořádat se s terorismem a jak mu média mimoděk nahrávají.

But a mysteriously abandoned set of rooms in the castle of Lovel promises to disclose the secrets of the past. After a series of frantic episodes and surprising revelations, culminating in a trial by combat, the crimes of the usurper and the legitimacy of the true heir are finally discovered.''The literary offspring of the castle of Otranto'', as Reeve described it, The Old English Baron provides an ambitious rewriting of Horace Walpole''s groundbreaking work, transporting the trappings of the Gothic to medieval England.

Flights, a novel about travel in the twenty-first century and human anatomy, is Olga Tokarczuk’s most ambitious to date. It interweaves travel narratives and reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration. From the seventeenth century, we have the story of the Dutch anatomist Philip Verheyen, who dissected and drew pictures of his own amputated leg. From the eighteenth century, we have the story of a North African-born slave turned Austrian courtier stuffed and put on display after his death. In the nineteenth century, we follow Chopin’s heart as it makes the covert journey from Paris to Warsaw. In the present we have the trials of a wife accompanying her much older husband as he teaches a course on a cruise ship in the Greek islands, and the harrowing story of a young husband whose wife and child mysteriously vanish on a holiday on a Croatian island. With her signature grace and insight, Olga Tokarczuk guides the reader beyond the surface layer of modernity and towards the core of the very nature of humankind.

Richard Dawkins on how nature and humans have learned to overcome the pull of gravity and take to the skies. ''A masterly investigation of all aspects of flight, human and animal... A beautifully produced book that will appeal across age groups'' Alexander McCall Smith ''Dawkins has always been an extraordinarily muscular, persuasive thinker. What feels new here is that he writes with such charm and warmth'' The TimesHave you ever dreamt you could fly? Or imagined what it would be like to glide and swoop through the sky like a bird? Do you let your mind soar to unknown, magical spaces? Richard Dawkins explores the wonder of flight: from the mythical Icarus, to the sadly extinct but spectacular bird Argentavis magnificens, from the Wright flyer and the 747, to the Tinkerbella fairyfly and the Peregrine falcon. But he also explores flights of the mind and escaping the everyday – through science, ideas and imagination. Fascinating and beautifully illustrated, this is a unique collaboration between one of the world''s leading scientists and a talented artist.
