Northern Tanzania - Philip Briggs, Chris McIntyre
This new, thoroughly updated fifth edition of Bradt''s Northern Tanzania Safari Guide remains the only full-length guidebook focussed exclusively on the country''s north and on Zanzibar. Reflecting tourism''s shift away from backpackers and budget camping safaris to upper-end and mid-range safaris and beach holidays, it is tailored closely to the requirements of anyone going on a safari to northern Tanzania, followed by a few days on Zanzibar.Northern Tanzania is dominated by Africa''s finest safari circuit, offering spectacular game-viewing year round. Centred on the legendary Serengeti National Park and its world-famous wildebeest migration, this circuit also incorporates the Ngorongoro Crater and surrounding Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara and Tarangire national parks.

Lesser-known gems include the prehistoric rock art at Kondoa (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the forested Arusha National Park and Amani Nature Reserve, and the spectacular Ol Doinyo Lengai - Africa''s most active volcano.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2008.An epic chronicle of the last twenty years of British life from the Booker shortlisted and Granta Best of Young British novelist, Philip Hensher.Beginning in 1974 and ending with the fading of Thatcher''s government in 1996, ‘The Northern Clemency’ is Philip Hensher''s epic portrait of an entire era, a novel concerned with the lives of ordinary people and history on the move.Set in Sheffield, it charts the relationship between two families: Malcolm and Katherine Glover and their three children; and their neighbours, the Sellers family, newly arrived from London so that Bernie can pursue his job with the Electricity Board. The day the Sellers move in there is a crisis across the road: Malcolm Glover has left home, convinced his wife is having an affair. The consequences of this rupture will spread throughout the lives of both couples and their children, in particular ten-year-old Tim Glover, who never quite recovers from a moment of his mother''s public cruelty and the amused taunting of fifteen-year-old Sandra Sellers, childhood crises that will come to a head twenty years later.

Still the only standalone guide in English to this increasingly popular destination, it remains in a class of its own for in-depth information.

Myers-Briggs Typology vs. Jungian Individuation - Steve Myers
In Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation: Overcoming One-sidedness in Self and Society, Steve Myers unravels the century-long misinterpretation of Jung’s seminal text, Psychological Types, to show how Jung’s thinking offers solutions to the conflicts that have torn apart our societies. By challenging the popular interpretation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and similar instruments, Myers argues that we have not only missed Jung’s main proposition, but our contemporary interpretation runs counter to it. Myers aims to rediscover the overlooked argument of Jung’s Psychological Types and make it of practical relevance to contemporary issues. He intends to refocus rather than discard Myers-Briggs typology, showing that there are further stages of development after becoming a type and that typological principles have a much broader application. Raising queries about the way typology is used in contemporary society, Myers uses literary examples, such as Romeo and Juliet and Carl Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus, to show how one-sidedness leads to conflict and to illustrate Jung’s solution to the problem of opposites. He also applies this to real-life political crises by examining the decision-making of key political figures, such as Nelson Mandela, Robert Mugabe, and those involved in Brexit or the Northern Ireland peace process.

Vzestup vlka 8 - Rick McIntyre
Americký národní park Yellowstone se kdysi honosil početnou vlčí populací, avšak ve dvacátých letech minulého století strážci parku zabili posledního z nich. Ve snaze navrátit místnímu ekosystému rovnováhu se pak o několik desetiletí později pokusili přivést vlky zase zpátky. V 90. letech byl spuštěn projekt na obnovení populace vlků v Yellowstonu, jehož důležitou součástí byl autor této knihy. Svým osobitým stylem nás nechává nahlédnout do života vlčích smeček a prožít příběhy jednotlivých vlčích jedinců. Tedy především jednoho z nich - vlka 8, který se dokázal z nejmenšího, šikanovaného mláděte vypracovat v největšího vlka, který kdy žil. Rick McIntyre strávil studiem a sledováním vlků v amerických národních parcích více než čtyřicet let. Tyto šelmy se mu podařilo zahlédnout na stotisíckrát a deník, v němž si vede záznamy z pozorování, čítá dvanáct tisíc stránek. Jeho práce přinesla zatím nejdetailnější obraz o tom, jak vlci žijí, jak se chovají a jak pravděpodobně přemýšlejí. Nyní je McIntyre v důchodu, jeho vášeň pro vlky ho však stále neopouští. Předmluvu ke knize napsal známý herec a režisér Robert Redford, kniha zároveň obsahuje barevnou fotografickou přílohu.

Unlearning - Charles L. Briggs
A provocative theoretical synthesis by renowned folklorist and anthropologist Charles L. Briggs, Unlearning questions intellectual foundations and charts new paths forward. Briggs argues, through an expansive look back at his own influential works as well as critical readings of the field, that scholars can disrupt existing social and discourse theories across disciplines when they collaborate with theorists whose insights are not constrained by the bounds of scholarship.  Eschewing narrow Eurocentric modes of explanation and research foci, Briggs brings together colonialism, health, media, and psychoanalysis to rethink classic work on poetics and performance that revolutionized linguistic anthropology, folkloristics, media studies, communication, and other fields. Beginning with a candid memoir that credits the mentors whose disconcerting insights prompted him to upend existing scholarly approaches, Briggs combines his childhood experiences in New Mexico with his work in graduate school, his ethnography in Venezuela working with Indigenous peoples, and his contemporary work—which is heavily weighted in medical folklore.  Unlearning offers students, emerging scholars, and veteran researchers alike a guide for turning ethnographic objects into provocations for transforming time-worn theories and objects of analysis into sources of scholarly creativity, deep personal engagement, and efforts to confront unconscionable racial inequities.

Gifts Differing - Briggs Myers Isabel, Peter B. Myers
*The original book behind the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (R) (MBTI (R)) test*Like a thumbprint, personality type provides an instant snapshot of a person's uniqueness. Drawing on concepts originated by Carl Jung, this book distinguishes four categories of personality styles and shows how these qualities determine the way you perceive the world and come to conclusions about what you've seen. It then explains what they mean for your success in school, at a job, in a career and in your personal relationships.For more than 60 years, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) tool has been the most widely used instrument in the world for determining personality type, and for more than 25 years, Gifts Differing has been the preeminent source for understanding it.

When the Wind Blows - Raymond Briggs
Raymond Briggs'' world-famous graphic account of one ordinary couple''s attempt to stand firm in the face of nuclear annihilation remains as powerful today as it was when it was first published in 1982.Following Jim and Hilda Blogg in the days before and after a nuclear attack on Britain, When the Wind Blows is alternately funny, shocking, heartbreaking and devastating. Few can read it and not be deeply moved.Despite writing some of the most beloved and enduring children''s books of all time - The Snowman, Father Christmas and Fungus the Bogeyman - When the Wind Blows is very much a story for adults. Not only does it articulate the fears of the generations who grew up in the shadow of the Cold War, but it also speaks today of our own fears, living as we do in a nuclear age.Written and illustrated by Briggs, When the Wind Blows has never been out of print.
