You Don't Have to be Loud - Ben Brooks
A shy kid's guide to thriving in their own (quiet) way.Do you sometimes feel afraid of talking in front of people, making a mistake or saying the wrong thing? While everywhere else you look there are loud, confident people?You're not alone. Ben Brooks also grew up as a shy child (so much so that he'd rather have cut his own hair or spend a week at a Silent Retreat then have to speak to other people). But he soon realised that being quiet doesn't make you strange or wrong or boring. In fact, being shy can give you great skills such as listening, kindness and compassion. It's something to embrace and be proud of.In this book, Ben introduces readers to some of the most famous, talented and brilliant shy people - including Charles Darwin, David Bowie, Greta Thunberg, Rosa Parks, Beyonce and Emma Watson - who used their special quietness to achieve awesome things, and he shares his tips for growing up shy in a world that can sometimes feel, well, LOUD.Because you don't have to be loud to be liked, and you definitely don't have to be loud to make an impact.

Lolito - Ben Brooks
Když si patnáctiletej kluk nabrnkne čtyřicetiletou ženskou a jejich vztah přeroste z chatu do postele, začnou se dít věci. Pletou se do toho jeho rodiče, její manžel, a pak to začne zajímat dokonce i policii. Proboha proč? To už si dneska nemůžou dva lidi úplně v klidu užít trochu toho sexuálního potěšení? Nešlo jim o nic jiného, než že on zapomene na rozchod se spolužačkou a ona na nespokojený život v manželství. A teď je z toho skandál v celé Anglii jenom proto, že ona je učitelka. Ale vždyť to je přece v pořádku, ne? Naučí ho něco poloh a praktik, takže si svou učitelskou povinnost splní! Kniha Bena Brookse Lolito šokuje svou otevřeností, baví popisem života nadržených teenagerů a vzrušuje popisem divokých milostných scén. Tím vším si všude, kde vyšla, získala přízeň mladých čtenářů a odsouzení ze strany jejich rodičů. Není tohle to nejlepší doporučení, proč si Lolita přečíst?! Teprve 19letý autor Ben Brooks za svou knihu získal v roce 2015 prestižní ocenění Somerset Maugham Award, které je ve Velké Británii každoročně udělováno nejlepším mladým spisovatelům do 35 let.

Over Here, Over There - William Brooks
During the Great War, composers and performers created music that expressed common sentiments like patriotism, grief, and anxiety. Yet music also revealed the complexities of the partnership between France, Great Britain, Canada, and the United States. At times, music reaffirmed a commitment to the shared wartime mission. At other times, it reflected conflicting views about the war from one nation to another or within a single nation. Over Here, Over There examines how composition, performance, publication, recording, censorship, and policy shaped the Atlantic allies' musical response to the war. The first section of the collection offers studies of individuals. The second concentrates on communities, whether local, transnational, or on the spectrum in-between. Essay topics range from the sinking of the Lusitania through transformations of the entertainment industry to the influenza pandemic.

Přesun času - Ben Greenwich
Kniha podává naučným, a přitom humorným způsobem přehled k problematice změny času a přináší zamyšlení nad aktuální debatou o zrušení střídání času v Evropě. Autorova úvaha směřuje k řešení otázky, zda ponechat celoročně jeden čas, či pravidelnou změnu na letní čas a jak v tomto nejlépe dosáhnout společenského konsenzu v Česku, ale současně i v celé Evropě. V publikaci je dán prostor pro věcnou argumentaci členů fiktivní komise odborníků, pro emotivní reakce z diskuse i pro vyložené vzlety fantazie. V závěru díla proud nápadů vykypí mimo běžnou realitu a je dobře, že je čtenář nakonec pobídnut k nadhledu a vlastnímu úsudku.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and Richard and Judy pick.From the author of the acclaimed ‘Year of Wonders’ and ‘People of the Book’, a historical novel and love story set during a time of catastrophe on the front lines of the American Civil War.Set during the American Civil War, ‘March’ tells the story of John March, known to us as the father away from his family of girls in ‘Little Women’, Louisa May Alcott’s classic American novel. In Brooks’s telling, March emerges as an abolitionist and idealistic chaplain on the front lines of a war that tests his faith in himself and in the Union cause when he learns that his side, too, is capable of barbarism and racism. As he recovers from a near-fatal illness in a Washington hospital, he must reassemble the shards of his shattered mind and body, and find a way to reconnect with a wife and daughters who have no idea of the ordeals he has been through.As Alcott drew on her real-life sisters in shaping the characters of her little women, so Brooks turned to the journals and letters of Bronson Alcott, Louisa May’s father, an idealistic educator, animal rights exponent and ...

Not All Dead White Men - Donna Zuckerberg
A Times Higher Education Book of the WeekA virulent strain of antifeminism is thriving online that treats women’s empowerment as a mortal threat to men and to the integrity of Western civilization. Its proponents cite ancient Greek and Latin texts to support their claims—from Ovid’s Ars Amatoria to Seneca and Marcus Aurelius—arguing that they articulate a model of masculinity that sustained generations but is now under siege. Not All Dead White Men reveals that some of the most controversial and consequential debates about the legacy of the ancients are raging not in universities but online. “A chilling account of trolling, misogyny, racism, and bad history proliferated online by the Alt-Right… Zuckerberg makes a persuasive case for why we need a new, more critical, and less comfortable relationship between the ancient and modern worlds in this important and very timely book.â€â€”Emily Wilson, translator of The Odyssey“Explores how ideas about Ancient Greece and Rome are used and misused by antifeminist thinkers today.â€â€”Time“Zuckerberg presciently analyzes these communities’…embrace of stoicism as a self-help tool to gain confidence, jobs, and girlfriends.
