Having returned home for Christmas from time out travelling in Europe, what should have been a routine trip to the doctor left 31- year-old Ursula with a diagnosis of Stage 1A Ovarian cancer. Only 46% of all UK women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will still be alive 5 years later. Determined not to sink into self-pity Ursula decided that she would continue her travels and walk between her home in mid Wales and hospital appointments in Bristol. This decision led to her plan to walk Wales publicising the need for early detection for the disease which kills far too many patients due to ignorance of symptoms. In the 17 months it took to walk Wales, Ursula's journey took her across, around, up, over and through all of Wales from beaches to mountains, farms to urban sprawl. She met many sheep and a surprising number of walkers keen to accompany her for part of her journey. Ursula raised over 11,000 pounds for her two chosen charities. One Woman Walks Wales is a story of determination, tears and laughter, joy and pain, and a fascinating insight into not just one woman during a testing time, but a country, its landscape and its people.

Forget hurrying. Forget putting your foot down and racing through sweeping bends. Forget the understeer (whatever that is). Forget the blur of a life lived too fast.This is a look at taking life slowly. It’s about taking the time to enjoy journeys and places for their own sake. It’s about stopping and putting the kettle on. Stopping to take a picture. Stopping to enjoy stopping. How are you going to do it? In a camper van or a motorhome, of course.

We meander around England and Wales on the most breathtaking roads, chugging up mountain passes and pootling along the coast. We show you stuff that’s fun, often free. We include the best drives for different kinds of drivers; for surfers, wildlife watchers, climbers and walkers. We include the steepest, the bendiest, those with the most interesting bridges or views or obstacles, ferries and tidal causeways. And you don’t even have to own a camper van or motorhome – we’ll tell you the many places you can rent one to take you on the journey. All of this is interspersed with beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky travel writing from the king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin Dorey. So if all you want to do is flick through it on a cold day and plan your next outing, you’ll be transported (albeit slowly) to pastures, beaches, mountains and highways that make you want to turn the key and go, go, go!

• 150 striking colour photographs • Expert text explains the fascinating stories behind each castle • Wide selection of entries from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and the Isle of Man Some of the most romantic castles in the world are found in the Celtic nations on the northwestern fringes of Europe. These strongholds may now largely be ruined, but in their dilapidation they have gained an air of mystery and beauty. The people they once protected are gone, the borders they guarded have dissolved, the fragile communities and wooden buildings that built up around them have been dismantled. Only the castles, centuries on, remain – proof of how robustly they were constructed in the first place. From the tip of southern Ireland to northern Scotland, from castles maintained over the centuries to ones that are now mere ruins, Castles of Scotland, Ireland & Wales celebrates the stories behind more than 100 strongholds. In these we find tales of religious dissent, of English Parliamentarians attacking Irish Catholic refuges, of warring Scottish clans, of the Welsh fighting for independence. And in the buildings we find such curiosities as Britain’s only triangular castle or the hiding place for the Scottish crown jewels. With 150 outstanding colour photographs, Castles of Scotland, Ireland & Wales is a brilliant pictorial examination of worlds gone by.

By Ursula K. Le GuinIntroduction by Donna HarawayImages by Lee Bul In The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, visionary author Ursula K. Le Guin tells the story of human origin by redefining technology as a cultural carrier bag rather than a weapon of domination.Hacking the linear, progressive mode of the Techno-Heroic, the Carrier Bag Theory of human evolution proposes: ‘before the tool that forces energy outward, we made the tool that brings energy home.’ Prior to the preeminence of sticks, swords and the Hero’s killing tools, our ancestors’ greatest invention was the container: the basket of wild oats, the medicine bundle, the net made of your own hair, the home, the shrine, the place that contains whatever is sacred. The recipient, the holder, the story. The bag of stars. This influential essay opens a portal to terra ignota, where the possibilities of human experience and knowledge can be discovered anew. Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (1929-2018) was a celebrated and beloved author of twenty-one novels, eleven volumes of short stories, four collections of essays, twelve children’s books, six volumes of poetry and four of translation. The breadth and imagination of her work earned her six Nebulas, nine Hugos and SFWA’s Grand Master, along with the PEN/Malamud and many other awards. In 2014 she was awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, and in 2016 joined the short list of authors to be published in their lifetimes by the Library of America.In The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, visionary author Ursula K.

Uršulu Kovalyk můžeme považovat za feministickou autorku, ovšem Krasojezdkyně je její nejméně feministické dílo. V této postmoderní novele můžeme nalézt řadu různých linií: sociální, národnostní, politickou, erotickou, fantastickou a další; rozbíjení stereotypů žensko-mužského světa je téměř až na posledním místě. Hlavní hrdinka Karolína vyrůstá v roce 1984 v malém městě kdesi na východě Československé socialistické republiky. Karolína je programová outsiderka, což se projevuje i v jejím vzhledu. S její podobou a nuzotou rodinného zázemí kontrastuje krasojízda a kůň jako symboly něčeho vznešeného v kombinaci s nuzotou rodinného zázemí a vzhledem hrdinky působí dráždivě a netradičně. "Kdybych chtěla jen šokovat, přeběhla bych nahá po Hlavní ulici v Košicích a nemusela bych tolik sedět za počítačem. Moje texty podle mě lezou pod kůži. A to je rozdíl." - Uršula Kovalyk "Krasojezdkyně v mnoha ohledech připomíná Tygrovu ženu Téy Obreht." - Storgy.com "Novela Uršuly Kovalyk je duhou obrazů a vhledů, které mladou dívku provádějí po světě po pádu komunismu. Duha je poškozená; zlomilo mi to srdce. Překlad Julie a Petera Sherwoodových je skvostný, zachovává tempo a plynulost a ve chvílích ohromující drzosti se zabodává do čtenáře." - Gabriel Gbadamosi, porotce EBRD Literature Prize Vydání knihy podpořilo Literárně informační centrum v Bratislavě.

Ursula K. Le Guin has won or been nominated for over 200 awards for her fiction, including the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy and SFWA Grand Master Awards. She is the acclaimed author of the Earthsea sequence and The Left Hand of Darkness - which alone would qualify her for literary immortality - as well as a remarkable body of short fiction, including the powerful, Hugo-winning ''The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas'' and the masterpiece of anthropological and environmental SF ''The Word for World is Forest'' - winner of the Hugo Award for best novella. But Ursula Le Guin''s talents do not stop at fiction. Over the course of her extraordinary career, she has penned numerous essays around themes important to her: anthropology, environmentalism, feminism, social justice and literary criticism to name a few. She has responded in detail to criticism of her own work and even reassessed that work in the context of such critiques. This selection of the best of Le Guin''s non-fiction shows an agile mind, an unparalleled imagination and a ferocious passion to argue against injustice. In 2014 Ursula Le Guin was awarded the National Book Foundation''s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, and her widely praised acceptance speech is one of the highlights of this volume, which shows that one of modern literature''s most original voices is also one of its purest consciences.

Kniha Uršuly Flemingové Uchop kopřivu poskytuje návod a metodu, jak se v životě aktivně potýkat s bolestí, strachem a utrpením z vlastních, skrytých zdrojů i tehdy, kdy lékařská věda už nemůže pomoci. Nejde jen o ryze odbornou příručku, ale o ohlédnutí autorky, kdysi přední anglické fyzioterapeutky, za čtyřiceti lety života plně věnovaného péči o lidi trpící bolestí. Metoda tzv. "soustředěné relaxace", kterou sama vyvinula a prověřila svým výzkumem a praxí, měla výsledky i tam, kde už se nečekalo, že by zmírnění bolesti bylo vůbec možné. Její účinky ilustruje na příbězích několika pacientů, kterým pomohla buďto k návratu do plnohodnotného života, nebo k pokojné smrti. Upřímně, stručně a srozumitelně se s námi dělí také o své myšlenky a názory na místo bolesti a utrpení v životě člověka i na současný stav světa kolem nás a lidí v něm. Některé zcela nové přístupy k bolesti a jejím příčinám, dnes pokládané za samozřejmé, pomáhala prosazovat do praxe právě Uršula Flemingová.

When Ursula K. Le Guin started writing a new story, she would begin by drawing a map. The Word for World presents a selection of these images by the celebrated author, many of which have never been published before, to consider how her imaginary worlds enable us to re-envision our own.Le Guin’s maps offer journeys of consciousness beyond conventional cartography, from the Rorschach-like archipelagos of Earthsea to the talismanic maps of Always Coming Home. Rather than remaining within known terrain, they open up paradigms of knowledge, exemplified by the map’s edges and how a map is read, made and re-made, together. The Word for World brings her maps together with poems, stories, interviews, recipes and essays by contributors from a variety of perspectives to enquire into the relationship between worlds and the imagination and representation of them.With contributions by Federico Campagna, Theo Downes-Le Guin, Daniel Heath Justice, Bhanu Kapil, Canisia Lubrin, Una McCormack, David Naimon, Nisha Ramayya, Shoshone Collective, Standard Deviation, Marilyn Strathern.Co-published by Spiral House and AA Publications to coincide with an exhibition of Ursula K.
