Planes, Trains & Amphetamines - Kirk Field

Rave may be the middle word in travel, but when raving reporter Kirk Field created the world''s first holiday company catering exclusively to clubbers, the world threw everything it could at him: 9/11, volcanic ash clouds, suspicious customs officers, avalanches, North Sea storms, pandemics, fraudulent accountants, and the ghost of Michael Jackson. From high jinks on the high seas and insanity in Ibiza to playing in the powder of the Austrian Alps and psychic silliness on the Costa del Sol, this is the story of what happened when Kirk pioneered a new kind of tourism for guests who weren''t interested in spending the night in a five-star luxury bed (or any bed, for that matter!) and for whom a healthy tan raised suspicion rather than envy, suggesting the owner had spent more time on the lounger than on the lash. An uncensored, white-knuckle ride through the side of holidays the brochures don''t show you!

The perfect Ibiza holiday read...if you can get it through customs!' - JUDGE JULES'Some great stories from those early rave days. Really made me giggle.' - CARL COXAs a humble barman at the M25 Orbital raves, Kirk Field witnessed the moment acid house exploded.

Planes, Trains and Toilet Doors - Matt Chorley

‘’F *** ing brilliant. I would describe it as like a bag of political nuts – moreish and fabulously salty’ JOE LYCETT A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARPlanes, Trains and Toilet Doors is an entertaining and original romp through the highs and lows of British political history and the unlikely locations that have decided our national fate.Forget Westminster bust-ups and PMQs, some of the key events that have shaped modern British politics happened not in the cloisters of parliament or Downing Street’s many corridors of power, but in car parks, village halls and seaside resorts where the mundane have played host to the mighty. From Pitt the Younger’s Putney Heath duel to finding Margaret Thatcher a voice coach on a train, Harold Wilson’s ‘Scilly’ season holidays to John Major’s dental appointment clearing his path to No10 – these (and many more) are the places where chance meetings, untimely deaths and snap, sometimes daft, decisions changed the course of politics.Matt Chorley has spent almost two decades covering Westminster, interviewing prime ministers, mocking ministers and chronicling the serious, and sometimes unintentionally absurd, events which act as unlikely turning points in the direction of a nation. Illustrated by award-winning political cartoonist Morten Morland, Planes, Trains and Toilet Doors combines Matt’s insider-knowledge, smart analysis and detailed research with his background in comedy to create an hilarious history of how politics actually happens.

Trápí ji pošklebky sourozenců: k čemu je v říši bohů nymfa mluvící lidským hlasem? Teprve láska k člověku v ní probudí kouzelnou moc, která dokáže měnit lidi v bohy a bohy v netvory. Za trest ji Zeus vyžene na ostrov Aiaia, kde žije stovky let jen ve společnosti zvířat a nymf. Ke břehům připlouvají lodě plné námořníků, za jejichž násilí je Kirké začaruje v prasata. Když jednou dorazí i hrdina Odysseus, proměňuje se i samotná Kirké, která si konečně musí vybrat, kam vlastně patří. Do říše bohů, nebo světa smrtelníků?

Night Trains - Andrew Martin

Night trains have long fascinated us with the possibilities of their private sleeping compartments, gilded dining cars, champagne bars and wealthy travellers. Authors from Agatha Christie to Graham Greene have used night trains to tell tales of romance, intrigue and decadence against a rolling background of dramatic landscapes. The reality could often be as thrilling: early British travellers on the Orient Express were advised to carry a revolver (as well as a teapot).In Night Trains, Andrew Martin attempts to relive the golden age of the great European sleeper trains by using their modern-day equivalents. This is no simple matter. The night trains have fallen on hard times, and the services are disappearing one by one. But if the Orient Express experience can only be recreated by taking three separate sleepers, the intriguing characters and exotic atmospheres have survived. Whether the backdrop is 3am at a Turkish customs post, the sun rising over the Riviera, or the constant twilight of a Norwegian summer night, Martin rediscovers the pleasures of a continent connected by rail. By tracing the history of the sleeper trains, he reveals much of the recent history of Europe itself. The original sleepers helped break down national barriers and unify the continent. Martin uncovers modern instances of European unity - and otherwise - as he traverses the continent during ''interesting times'', with Brexit looming. Against this tumultuous backdrop, he experiences his own smaller dramas, as he fails to find crucial connecting stations, ponders the mystery of the compartment dog, and becomes embroiled in his very own night train whodunit.

Kirké - Madeline Millerová

Heliovi, bohu Slnka a najmocnejšiemu z Titanov, sa narodí dcéra. Nymfa Kirké je zvláštne dieťa, má žlté oči a čudesný tenký hlas, no inak po svojom majestátnom otcovi ani pôvabnej zvodnej matke Perse nezdedila nič pozoruhodné. Ako najslabšia zo všetkých bohýň je vystavená ustavičným posmeškom súrodencov, preto hľadá spoločnosť vo svete ľudí. Čoskoro v sebe objaví netušenú moc - ovláda čary, ktoré dokážu premeniť sokyne na príšery a ohroziť samotných bohov. Zeus ju z obavy pred jej nepredvídateľnými schopnosťami vyženie na opustený ostrov, kde Kirké rozvíja svoje tajomné umenie, krotí divé zvery a stretáva mnohé významné postavy z gréckej mytológie vrátane Daidala, jeho nešťastného syna Ikara, napoly človeka, napoly býka Minotaura, krvilačnej Medeie a, samozrejme, prefíkaného Odysea vracajúceho sa z trójskej vojny. Neželaných či dotieravých hostí s potešením premieňa na prasce, no vie im opäť vrátiť ľudskú podobu. Iných si zasa obľúbi a na istý čas sa stávajú jej milencami. Lenže osamelým ženám často hrozí nebezpečenstvo a rozmarná Kirké na seba nechtiac privolá hnev bohov aj ľudí. Napokon musí čeliť jednej z najdesivejších a najpomstychtivejších božstiev celého Olympu. Ak chce ochrániť svojich drahých, musí pozbierať všetku odvahu a raz a navždy si vybrať miesto - buď medzi bohmi, ktorí jej dali život, alebo smrteľníkmi, ktorých sa naučila milovať. Vďaka nezabudnuteľným postavám, podmanivému štýlu a strhujúcemu deju je Kirké skutočné majstrovské dielo - očarujúci epos o rodinnom súperení, palácových intrigách, láske i strate, ktorý vyzdvihuje silu nezlomnej ženy vo svete, kde dominujú muži.

Slow Trains Around Britain - Tom Chesshyre

"Easy-going, discursive and digressive, even those to whom trains are a closed timetable will find this a charming travelogue." - Stuart MaconieJoin travel writer and self-confessed "train nut" Tom Chesshyre as he celebrates 200 years of passenger railways on a zigzagging tour around the UK - where trains (proudly) beganIn a small market town in the northeast of England in 1825, something momentous happened: ticket-bearing human beings started moving along wrought-iron tracks on a contraption with engine-powered wheels. The contraption was called a "train". What happened in Darlington, along a 26-mile line to Stockton, would kickstart the worldwide railway revolution. Today, 1.3 million miles of tracks crisscross the planet.To celebrate the 200th anniversary of this groundbreaking event, Tom Chesshyre embarks on a journey around the country that invented trains, taking in many heritage lines maintained by armies of enthusiasts. On a long, circular series of rides beginning and ending in Darlington, Chesshyre enjoys the scenery, seeks out the history, dodges delays (best he can), reports on the current (often shambolic) state of British railways, and lets the rhythm of the clattering tracks reveal what it is about trains - especially wonderful old trains - that we love so much.

abc Famous Trains - G Freeman Allen

In 1955, Ian Allan Publishing produced the first five books in a new series entitled, Famous Trains. Another three were added in 1956 to complete the set. The extent of these little booklets was around 30 pages and they were priced at 6 (old) pence each. They were similar in format and appearance to the abcs which were being produced and sold in vast numbers at the time when locospotting had become something of a national obsession for schoolboys in particular.Each of the books featured one of the well-known named express trains of that era; The Elizabethan, The Royal Scot, The Cornish Riviera Express, The Atlantic Coast Express, The South Wales Pullman, The Queen of Scots, The Royal Wessex and the Bournemouth Belle and The Irish Mail.They were all written by one of the most prolific railway authors of the 1950s and 60s, G. Freeman Allen, and followed the same format. A short introduction led to a description of the route traversed by the trains. This was illustrated with sketches of relevant portions of the route and photographs of the trains themselves. Major railway and topographical features, which could be seen by passengers along the journey, were also highlighted. All the covers carried a drawing by A.N.Wolstenholme of the train featured, similar in style to the covers of the ''abcs'' of the time.Long out of print, we are republishing facsimiles of all eight titles in one combined volume. This book will transport the reader on a wonderful nostalgic journey back to those years that, seen from the perspective of the twenty first century, represents the golden age of British Railways and the apogee of steam traction on the network.

First, steam engines hissed billowing clouds into the air, then gleaming diesel locomotives pulled boxcars, freight cars, and sleek passenger cars north, south, east, and west. The story of how trains began barreling across the landscape is one of new machines, new inventions, new jobs, and new hopes. Railroad travel started with steam-powered wagons on a tramway and developed into a technology that would change the day-to-day life of Americans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—and forever connect one coast to another.

Zeus ju z obavy pred jej nepredvídateľnými schopnosťami vyženie na opustený ostrov, kde Kirké rozvíja svoje tajomné umenie, krotí divé zvery a stretáva mnohé významné postavy z gréckej mytológie vrátane Daidala, jeho nešťastného syna Ikara, napoly človeka, napoly býka Minotaura, krvilačnej Medeie a, samozrejme, prefíkaného Odysea vracajúceho sa z trójskej vojny. Neželaných či dotieravých hostí s potešením premieňa na prasce, no...

Achilleova píseň/Kirke - Madeline Millerová

Achilleova píseň: Řecko v časech hrdinů. Patroklos, nešikovný mladý princ, byl vyhoštěn do království Fthie, kde žije přehlížen ve stínu krále Pelea a jeho zlatovlasého syna Achillea. Achilleus, "nejlepší ze všech Řeků", je vším, čím Patroklos není - silný, krásný, syn bohyně -, a jejich cesty se nikdy neměly zkřížit. Jednoho dne ho však Achilleus vezme pod svou ochranu a brzy se z nich stanou přátelé. Vzdělávají se v umění války a medicíny a z jejich pouta vznikne něco mnohem hlubšího - k nelibosti Achilleovy matky Thetidy, kruté mořské nymfy. Když přijde zpráva, že byla unesena Helena Spartská, jsou řečtí muži vyzváni, aby šli do války proti Troji. Achilleus se připojí, sveden příslibem slavného osudu. Patroklos, zmítaný láskou a strachem o svého přítele, následuje Achillea do války, aniž tuší, jak krutá zkouška je čeká. Toto dojemné a originální ztvárnění trojské války je zničujícím příběhem lásky a soupeření mezi bohy a lidmi. Hlavní zápas se však odehrává mezi nelítostnou ctižádostí a touhou lidského srdce po míru. Kirke:V paláci boha slunce Helia, nejmocnějšího z Titánů, se narodí dcera. Malou Kirku všichni považují za nedochůdče - nevládne na první pohled zřejmou mocí jako její otec ani zlomyslnou krásou jako její matka. Teprve když se pokusí zahnat samotu mezi smrtelníky, zjistí, že přece jen dostala do vínku jisté nadání - čarodějnou moc, jež jí dovoluje měnit sokyně v příšery a postavit se samotným bohům. Román Kirke skvěle vykreslenými postavami, podmanivým jazykem a stránkami plnými napětí nabízí mistrovsky zpracovaný příběh o rivalitě mezi příbuznými, palácových intrikách, lásce a ztrátě a přináší svědectví o nezdolné ženské síle ve světě ovládaném muži. Kniha získala cenu za nejlepší překlad knihy pro starší děti Zlatá stuha 2020- překladatelka Eva Maršíková. Do překladu se skvěle povedlo přenést vylíčení silných emocí, bohatost a zvukomalebnost jazyka, hru se slovy, pestrý popis prostředí i proměnu postav v čase. Překlad nerušeně plyne a snadno by ho bylo možné považovat za původní české dílo výborného spisovatele.

Do you love trains? Do you love adventure? If so, join Tom Chesshyre on his meandering rail journey across Europe from London to Venice. Escaping the rat race for a few happy weeks, Chesshyre indulges in the freedom of the tracks. From France (dogged by rail worker strikes), through Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland, he travels as far east as Odessa by the Black Sea in Ukraine. With no set plans, simply a desire to let the trains lead the way, he heads back via Hungary, the Balkans and Austria. Along the way he enjoys many an encounter, befriending fellow travellers as well as a conductor or two. This is a love letter to Europe, written from the trackside.

Steam Trains Today - Andrew Martin

''A delightful book ... the perfect companion as you wait for the 8.10 from Hove'' ObserverAfter the Beeching cuts of the 1960s, many railways were gradually shut down. Rural communities were isolated and steam trains slowly gave way to diesel and electric traction.But some people were not prepared to let the romance of train travel die. Thanks to their efforts, many lines passed into community ownership and are now booming with new armies of dedicated volunteers. Andrew Martin meets these volunteer enthusiasts, finding out just what it is about preserved railways that makes people so devoted. From the inspiration for Thomas the Tank Engine to John Betjeman''s battle against encroaching modernity, Steam Trains Today will take you on a heart-warming journey across Britain from Aviemore to Epping.

Quantum Field Theory - Francois Gelis

This modern text combines fundamental principles with advanced topics and recent techniques in a rigorous and self-contained treatment of quantum field theory.Beginning with a review of basic principles, starting with quantum mechanics and special relativity, students can refresh their knowledge of elementary aspects of quantum field theory and perturbative calculations in the Standard Model. Results and tools relevant to many applications are covered, including canonical quantization, path integrals, non-Abelian gauge theories, and the renormalization group. Advanced topics are explored, with detail given on effective field theories, quantum anomalies, stable extended field configurations, lattice field theory, and field theory at a finite temperature or in the strong field regime. Two chapters are dedicated to new methods for calculating scattering amplitudes (spinor-helicity, on-shell recursion, and generalized unitarity), equipping students with practical skills for research. Accessibly written, with numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problems, this is an essential text for graduate students. The breadth of coverage makes it an equally excellent reference for researchers.

Politics, Poverty and Belief - The Rt Hon Frank Field

''For the past half-century Frank Field has been an outstanding parliamentarian, social reformer and champion of the disadvantaged. He joined the Labour Party at the age of 16 and was expelled from it at the age of 78.'' -Brian & Rachel Griffiths''Frank Field is one of the most important, iconoclastic and remarkable politicians of his generation. This book is told with his Christian belief, regrets and all, and his trademark searing honesty.'' -Nick TimminsIn the increasingly dirty world of British politics, one man has stood out for unimpeachable integrity – the former Labour Member of Parliament for Birkenhead, Frank Field.In this touching but also profound memoir, the veteran former Labour MP and social campaigner Frank Field reveals the poverty of his own childhood and the deep and lasting effect of his Christian socialism. Field has spent his life fighting poverty in Britain, and has found allies on all sides of the political spectrum. In this book, Field talk about his activism, his foundational work with the Child Poverty Action Group and his work passing legislation for the Minimum Living Wage. He explains why he has dedicated his life to speaking out against the corruption of greed and power and writes with great alacrity about the titans of his political age, including Tony Blair and Margaret Thatcher. In the end, Field’s zeal for reform was too much for too many people, and, in 2015, he was deselected by his own local Labour party. Politics, Poverty and Belief is an implicit indictment of modern British politics – the world of cash for questions, Partygate and all the rest – in which the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

Healing Trauma in Children with Clay Field Therapy - Cornelia Elbrecht

The first book of its kind on treating trauma in children through creative play with clay, written by a leading voice in the field of art therapy.From the moment we’re born, we rely on our hands to perceive the world. It’s through touch that we communicate with our primary caregivers and attain an abiding sense of love and security. In Clay Field therapy, client children work with clay and water in a rectangular box. The therapeutic focus is not on object creation, but on the touch connection with the clay as a symbolic external world. Movement, touch, and sensory feedback that have long been out of reach are actualized through the creative process, enabling the child to heal past wounds and regain a more fulfilling sense of self.Author and therapist Cornelia Elbrecht has been a leader in groundbreaking art therapy techniques for over 40 years. In Healing Trauma in Children with Clay Field Therapy, she shows how embodied expression within the Clay Field can be an effective tool in treating children suffering the mental, emotional, and physical effects of trauma. She discusses the theory and practice of Clay Field therapy using dozens of case examples and more than 200 images. Working within a fun, safe, and trusting environment, children respond with their embodied braced, chaotic, or dissociated structures of the past, but are then able to foster new sensorimotor experiences that enhance self-esteem, empowerment, and a restoration of developmental deficits. Child therapists will find this book to be a valuable tool--working with a Clay Field can reach even the earliest developmental trauma events, repairing their damage through the haptic hands-brain connection.
