The Samburu: A Study of Gerontocracy in a Nomadic Tribe by Paul Spencer offers a rich ethnographic account of a pastoral society in northern Kenya whose political and social life is organized around the authority of elders. Closely related linguistically and culturally to the Masai, the Samburu nonetheless developed their own distinctive institutions, shaped by the arid ecology of their homeland and by crises such as the devastating rinderpest and smallpox epidemics of the late nineteenth century. Colonial intervention brought new layers of administration and, after World War II, experimental grazing schemes, yet Spencer demonstrates that Samburu society remained remarkably resilient. Elders continued to dominate decision-making, adjudicate disputes, and control marriage, while the age-set system maintained a strict separation between the power of the old and the obligations of the young. At the core of Samburu social values lies *nkanyit*—a nuanced concept of respect, shame, and duty—that governs relationships within the tribe and distinguishes the Samburu from their neighbors. Drawing on twenty-seven months of fieldwork from 1957 to 1960, Spencer provides a vivid portrait of Samburu gerontocracy in practice. He examines the tension between elder authority and the moran, the young unmarried men who, though stripped of their historic warrior ... Unknown localization key: "more"

''There was a rumour, too, that he was a devil-worshipper, or something of that sort, and also that he had the evil eye...'' Arthur Conan Doyle was the greatest genre writer Britain has ever produced. Throughout a long writing career, he drew on his own medical background, his travels, and his increasing interest in spiritualism and the occult to produce a spectacular array of Gothic Tales. Many of Doyle''s writings are recognised as the very greatest tales of terror. They range from hauntings in the polar wasteland to evil surgeons and malevolent jungle landscapes. This collection brings together over thirty of Conan Doyle''s best Gothic Tales. Darryl Jones''s introduction discusses the contradictions in Conan Doyle''s very public life - as a medical doctor who became obsessed with the spirit world, or a British imperialist drawn to support Irish Home Rule - and shows the ways in which these found articulation in that most anxious of all literary forms, the Gothic.

Tales of weird and supernatural suspense from Arthur Conan Doyle, the author best known for the creation of the illustrious detective Sherlock Holmes. The next addition to the Hardback Classics series, with previous titles collecting the works of Sheridan le Fanu, Margaret Oliphant and M.R. James.The luminous fog drifted slowly off the table and wavered and flickered across the room. There in the farther and darkest corner it gathered and glowed, hardening down into a shining core… Although best known for the stories of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a remarkable number of weird and supernatural tales. Pulling at this thread of his fiction reveals a writer deeply fascinated in matters of the occult, the uncanny and the unexplainable, with his belief in spiritualism later in life only adding to his passion for the unknown. This volume collects Doyle’s most enduring strange stories – ranging from monster encounters and deadly hauntings to dark tales of mesmerism – and also includes a new introduction along with Doyle’s never-before-reprinted essay on his own spiritual experiences, "Stranger than Fiction."

The great and the good rarely, if ever, accomplish all they wish to achieve without the able assistance of many skilled men and women. To have a very capable person beside you acting as guide, confidant and adviser is essential. Even better when it is someone with a depth of knowledge equal to, or even better than your own. If all these skills can be combined in one trusted, assistant so much the better. To a leader such a person may be valued ‘beyond rubies’, because they have the ability to take ideas, add something and help make them a reality.For Herbert Nigel Gresley, CME of the LNER, Bert Spencer was just such a man. As Gresley triumphed his faithful, introverted and highly talented assistant remained resolutely in the background playing an unsung yet key role in the development of Gresley’s outstanding Pacifics and his many other memorable locomotives.

Discover Your Connection to the World from Within... There are countless paths that a young person can take to adulthood. Between family, friends, and school, there are many influences affecting every step of that path. Yet, the teenage and young adult years are when one’s independent voice blossoms alongside feelings of doubt and disconnection. It may help to know that others have painfully wandered through adolescence searching for happiness, only to find that their inherent beauty and peace was inside their own heart all along. Perhaps the words of Rumi speak clearest in today’s world: “There is a life force within your soul, seek that life. There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine. O traveler, if you are in search of That Don’t look outside, look inside yourself and seek That.” How can this message be heard and understood in a world of social media and cell phones, common tools meant to enhance communication that instead have become ways to critique, discredit, and even hurt others? Especially during the teenage years?

A collection of writings by the mathematician and composer linking notions of continuity and construction across math, minimalist music and contemporary artNoted mathematician and composer Spencer Gerhardt presents Ticking Stripe, a groundbreaking collection of essays linking notions of continuity and construction across the boundaries of math, art, music and philosophy. Gerhardt offers new, deeply informed analysis of the 1960s New York avant-garde, viewed through the lens of trailblazing artists such as La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela, Catherine Christer Hennix, Henry Flynt and Tony Conrad. Ticking Stripe pairs the spirit of L.E.J. Brouwer—a mathematician who sought to reconstruct the continuum in his own philosophical terms called intuitionism—with the ambitions of pioneering minimalists who combined continued constructions, idealized processes of introspection and conceptual world-building with a host of philosophical, scientific and spiritual concerns. Informed by his own work as a mathematician and composer, Gerhardt explores the depths of these disparate traditions, finding unlikely areas of commonality.Spencer Gerhardt is a composer and musician, and teaches mathematics at the University of Southern California.

Nechme se okouzlit vypravěčským mistrovstvím Arthura Conana Doylea, jehož dílo vyzařuje žíznivou zvědavost, roznícenou fantazii i neuhasitelnou touhu po lepším světě, což ho jednoznačně vřazuje do jednadvacátého století. Tento druhý svazek zahrnuje Doyleovy prózy s dobrodružnými náměty, a to v moderním a jiskřivém českém překladu, přičemž některé z těchto próz vycházejí česky vůbec poprvé. Doyle se intenzivně zajímal o tajemné události a jevy, takže reagoval i na záhadné zmizení americké lodi Marie Celeste, jež byla nalezena roku 1872 opuštěná u Azorských ostrovů za okolností, o nichž se dodnes pouze spekuluje. O vysvětlení se Doyle pokusil v povídce Zpráva J. Habakuka Jephsona. Dalším nevšedním tvůrčím počinem je Vězňova obhajoba, která tvoří pandán ke známé holmesovské povídce Poslední poklona, v níž se Sherlock Holmes ve službách vlasti ujímá role falešného špiona. Třetí svazek, jenž vyjde s několikaměsíčním odstupem, ponese název Doktoři a další vědci. Čtyřdílnou Doyleovskou sérii uzavřeme novým překladem slavného Psa baskervillského, jehož vydání doprovodí působivé dobové ilustrace.

Audiokniha: První detektivní román vydal Doyle v roce 1887, jmenoval se Studie v šarlatové a poprvé v něm představil slavnou dvojici – geniálního detektiva Sherlocka Holmese a jeho věrného přítele a zároveň vypravěče Holmesových případů doktora Watsona. U čtenářů však více zabrala až druhá kniha Znamení čtyř. Po ní následovala výhodná objednávka Strand Magazinu na sérii povídek s Holmesem. Doyle nakonec těchto povídek napsal celkem šestapadesát a na jejich zápletkách se učili řemeslu další detektivní autoři, zatímco některé Holmesovy detektivní postupy prý přebírali policisté ze slavného Scotland Yardu. Příběhy byly tak úspěšné, že se na Strand Magazine stály fronty. Je paradoxem, že povídky, které mu vynesly největší úspěch, psal Doyle kvůli obživě. A protože ho odváděly od psaní vážné literatury, pokusil se – věren svému žánru – Sherlocka Holmese zabít. Rozhořčené protesty čtenářů, a dokonce samotné královny Victorie ho však přiměly – i když odolával dlouhých deset let – Holmese vrátit mezi živé.

Audiokniha: Ve svém zatím nejvíce autobiografickém románu se Paulo Coelho vrací do svého mládí, do doby přelomu 60. a 70. let 20. století. Mladý Brazilec Paulo a Nizozemka Karla se setkávají v Amsterdamu, tehdejším ohnisku hnutí hippies, který se stává jedním z cílů Paulovy první cesty za moře. Namísto plánovaném cestování po Evropě se však Paulo nechá přesvědčit a nastoupí s Karlou do autobusu směřujícího do Káthmándú. Román je na jedné straně kronikou cesty Paula a ostatních spolucestujících, na druhé straně svědectvím o bouřlivých šedesátých letech a myšlenkách, kterými byly neseny. Hipík je knihou o lidech, kteří tápou a hledají, ale hledají poctivě. Je příběhem těch, kteří poslechli výzvu: „Prodej své vědomosti a kup si místo ve své duši, které naplníš absolutnem. Protože moudrost mužů a žen je bláznovství před Bohem.“ Paulo Coelho (1947) Je považován za jednoho z nejvlivnějších spisovatelů dnešní doby, uveřejnil své knihy v 168 zemích v překladu do 80 jazyků, jejich náklad přesáhl počet 150 milionů výtisků a patří tak mezi jednoho ze tří nejprodávanějších autorů na světě.
