Bernadette was just ten years old when her father packed her off to a convent school in Dublin. Seven gruelling years later, she returned home to Liverpool at the start of the swinging sixties.

Bernadette got her first job at 21, teaching five to seven year olds in a school in one of Liverpool''s toughest slum areas. The poverty and deprivation she saw at the school shocked her to the core. Children would frequently turn up shoeless and starving, but gradually Bernadette could see she was making a real difference to their lives, and found that teaching changed her own life in ways she hadn''t expected...Rich in period detail, PLEASE, MISS is an uplifting and moving book that opens a window onto the colourful and fascinating world of 1960s Liverpool.

Bernadette vstoupila v 19 letech do řádu a nakonec se stala ošetřovatelkou, o čemž od mala snila. Svůj život zasvětila Bohu a druhým. Brzy však začala trpět bolestmi zad, které se i po několika operacích postupně zhoršovaly. Musela přestat pracovat, velké bolesti tlumily léky a voperovaný neurostimulátor. Nakonec se invalidní Bernadette mohla pohybovat jen s velkými obtížemi a na krátké vzdálenosti. Její praktický lékař jí v roce 2008 navrhl, aby se zúčastnila diecézní poutní cesty do Lurd. Po návratu domů pocítila, jak její tělo zalilo nezvyklé teplo a krátce nato všechny její obtíže náhle vymizely. Toto překvapivé uzdravení studovalo mnoho lékařů deset let. Nakonec konstatovali, že za současného stavu vědeckých poznatků je nejsou schopni vysvětlit. Začátkem roku 2018 diecézní komise jmenovaná biskupem uznala Bernadettino uzdravení za zázračné. Je to 70. lurdský zázrak v posledních 160 letech. V této velmi upřímné zpovědi autorka opakovaně hledá tajemné důvody tohoto zázraku: Proč já?

Christině je sedmnáct let a pochází ze švýcarského Toggenburgu. Narodila se s výrazně rozšířeným vědomím, čímž se řadí k nové generaci mladých evolučních myslitelů, kteří lidskou existenci vnímají, popisují a prožívají jako komplexitu kvantových, neuropsychologických a spirituálních jevů. Od narození se vyznačuje pozoruhodným vhledem do dění dnešního světa a ohromuje vysokou etikou, moudrostí i vnitřním klidem. Bez jakékoliv námahy a zcela přirozeně používá řadu paranormálních vloh. V první knize vypráví její matka, Bernadette, Christinin příběh: o mimořádném porodu, dětství a mládí až do jejích 16 let. Byla to léta plná výzev, učení a zkoušek, kdy si Christina zvykala na "trojrozměrnost" a připravovala se na svoji životní úlohu. Christina ji shrnuje třemi klíčovými slovy - svoboda, pravda a láska.

Carbon is much more than a chemical element: it is a polymorphic entity with many faces, at once natural, cultural and social. Ranging across ten million different compounds, carbon has as many personas in nature as it has roles in human life on earth. And yet it rarely makes the headlines as anything other than the villain of our fossil-based economy, feeding an addiction which is driving dangerous levels of consumption and international conflict and which, left unchecked, could lead to our demise as a species. But the impact of CO on climate change only tells part of the story, and to demonize carbon as an element which will bring about the downfall of humanity is to reduce it to a pale shadow of itself. In this major new history of carbon, Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent and Sacha Loeve show that this omnipresent element is at the root of countless histories and adventures through time, thanks to its extraordinary versatility. Carbon has a long and prestigious CV: its work and achievements extend far beyond the burning of fossil fuels. The fourth most abundant element in the universe and the second most abundant element in the human body, carbon is the chemical basis ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Astrology has been open to criticism through a large part of its long history. In this groundbreaking book Bernadette Brady gives new insights in the intensity of these criticisms by placing astrology into its initial setting, its original world of ancient creation myths linked to the great creative void. Modern chaos theory has now rediscovered this void and Brady maps astrology to chaos theory to produce "chaotic astrology". The result is an insight into fate, freewill and the nature of astrology itself implying that it is neither a science nor a religion, and suggests instead that astrology is an instrument of chaos, a fertile and pragmatic tool for understanding the patterns of life. Original and insightful as ever, Brady navigates the reader through a breath-taking journey which can change forever the way one views the world.

Lifelong fans and interested newcomers will love this stunning biography of Duran Duran by the bestselling author of Gold Dust Woman and Hammer of the Gods.In Please Please Tell Me Now, bestselling rock biographer Stephen Davis tells the story of Duran Duran, the quintessential band of the 1980s. Their pretty boy looks made them the stars of fledgling MTV, but it was their brilliant musicianship that led to a string of number one hits. By the end of the decade, they had sold 60 million albums; today, they've sold over 100 million albums—and counting.Davis traces their roots to the austere 1970s British malaise that spawned both the Sex Pistols and Duran Duran—two seemingly opposite music extremes. Handsome, British, and young, it was Duran Duran that headlined Live Aid, not Bob Dylan or Led Zeppelin. The band moved in the most glamorous circles: Nick Rhodes became close with Andy Warhol, Simon LeBon with Princess Diana, and John Taylor dated quintessential British bad girl Amanda De Cadanet. With timeless hits like "Hungry Like the Wolf," "Girls on Film," "Rio," "Save a Prayer," and the bestselling James Bond theme in the series' history, "A View to Kill," Duran Duran has cemented its legacy ...

'A raging wave, mountain-like, came rowling a-stern of us...we were all swallowed up in a moment.The sole survivor of a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe is washed up on a desert island. In his journal he chronicles his daily battle to stay alive, as he conquers isolation, fashions shelter and clothes, first encounters another human being and fights off cannibals and mutineers. With Robinson Crusoe, Defoe wrote what is regarded as the first English novel, and created one of the most popular and enduring myths in literature. Written in an age of exploration and enterprise, it has been variously interpreted as an embodiment of British imperialist values, as a portrayal of 'natural man' or as a moral fable. But above all it is a brilliant narrative, depicting Crusoe's transformation from terrified survivor to self-sufficient master of his island.This edition contains a full chronology of Defoe's life and times, explanatory notes, glossary and a critical introduction discussing Robinson Crusoe as a pioneering work of modern psychological realism.

First published in 1870, The Wild Garden challenged the prevailing garden style of the day and advocated a naturalistic style, in which hardy plants, both native and exotic, are arranged in groupings that mimic wild landscapes. Thanks to Robinson’s passionate advocacy, the naturalistic style triumphed, and Robinson's urgent message continues to resonate today. For this newly designed edition, Rick Darke has written an introductory essay that not only underscores Robinson’s importance in the evolution of garden design and ecology, but also explains his relevance for today’s gardeners, designers, and landscape professionals. The book contains over 100 stunning photographs taken by Darke, including images of Gravetye and of modern “wild” gardens.
