Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928) is famous worldwide for founding the Garden City movement, and he continues to be frequently cited by planners and theorists. When he was dying, he urged his prospective biographer to remember that ''the spiritual dimension'' had always been central to his life and work. He wanted this to be prominently brought out in any biography. Almost a century after his death, Ebenezer Howard: Inventor of the Garden City is the first book that does justice to that wish. Frances Knight has written a very readable biography, the first since the 1980s, with a properly contextualized analysis of Howard''s religious views. Shaped in the world of London Congregationalism, he became a keen seeker after unity and peace. He grafted new religious ideas, particularly from spiritualism, and later from Theosophy, into his biblically-informed, Protestant faith. Prone to spiritual epiphanies, he believed that he had been raised up to preach the ''gospel of the garden city'' and to tackle the housing crisis by beginning to build the New Jerusalem in the Hertfordshire countryside. Although he sometimes appeared naïve, he was astute, and highly skilled at combining different, and sometimes conflicting, ideas in a way that built consensus and gained support ...

Audiokniha: The eighth step into the Darkness takes place on the American side of the Atlantic. It features two short stories by a single author – Texas native Robert Ervin Howard. Sadly enough, Howard died at age 30, but he still managed to create several immortal heroes – and was one of the founders of the now popular genre of heroic fantasy (along with J. R. R. Tolkien). R. E. Howard created Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, and Solomon Kane. Together with H. P. Lovecraft and others, R. E. Howard was one of the most prominent purveyors of the Cthulhu Mythos (the best-known contemporary author of this fictional mythology is Stephen King). The Horror from the Mound, and The Fearsome Touch of Death, are excellent even by today’s standards – and the stories are further highlighted by incredible vocal performances, stunning music, and superb graphics on the cover.

With little more than an assortment of Earl Grey teabags, Danish candles and a map, Georgina Howard abandons her all-too-cosy, cinnamon-scented lifestyle and drives south.The journey leads to wild and craggy landscapes in the Basque Pyrenees on the French/Spanish border, where place names are written in a bizarre, foreign tongue full of ''x''s and ''z''s. Losing her heart to this beautiful land and her pride to the inscrutability of the language, Howard moves into an isolated barn in a mountain hamlet. While pagan festivals reverberate through the valleys, her Basque neighbours - farmers, shepherds, a gravedigger and a champion female lumberjack - observe her, bemused. Only when her daughter, Marion, is born - after an unsuccessful relationship with an eccentric Basque miller - do Howard''s neighbours drop their reserve and welcome her into their homes. Taking Marion''s upbringing upon themselves, they fatten her up on spicy Basque sausages and black bean stews, teach her Basque nursery rhymes and train her to milk sheep.

A sweeping history of the violence perpetrated by governments committed to extreme forms of secularism in the twentieth century  A popular truism derived from the Enlightenment holds that violence is somehow inherent to religion, to which political secularism offers a liberating solution. But this assumption ignores a glaring modern reality: that putatively progressive regimes committed to secularism have possessed just as much and often a vastly greater capacity for violence as those tied to a religious identity. In Broken Altars, Thomas Albert Howard presents a powerful account of the misery, deaths, and destruction visited on religious communities by secularist regimes in the twentieth century.  Presenting three principal forms of modern secularism that have arisen since the Enlightenment—passive secularism, combative secularism, and eliminationist secularism—Howard argues that the latter two have been especially violence-prone. Westerners do not fully grasp this, however, because they often mistake the first form, passive secularism, for secularism as a whole. But a disconcertingly more complicated picture emerges with the adoption of a broader global vision. Admitting different species of secularism, greater historical perspective, and case studies drawn from the former Soviet Union, Turkey, Mexico, Spain, Czechoslovakia, Albania, Mongolia, and China, among other countries, Howard calls ...

The newest addition to our Influential Video Game Designers series explores the work of Todd Howard, executive producer at Bethesda Studios, known for how he consistently pushes the boundaries of open-world gaming and player agency. Howard’s games create worlds in which players can design their own characters and tell their own stories. While many games tell the story of the game’s main character, Todd Howard’s worldbuilding approach to game design focuses more on telling the story of the game’s world, whether it be the high fantasy environments of the Elder Scrolls series or the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the Fallout series. This focus on sculpting the world allows for remarkable amounts of player freedom and choice in an expansive game environment by creating a landscape rich with open opportunity. Drawing on both academic discussions of narrative, world design, and game design, as well as on officially released interviews, speeches, and presentations given by Howard and other designers at Bethesda Games, Wendi Sierra highlights three core areas set Howard’s design perspective apart from other designers: micronarratives, iterative design, and the sharing of design tools.

Audiokniha: Osmý krok k temnotě zůstává na americkém kontinentě. A dokonce přináší dvě povídky jediného autora – texaského rodáka Roberta Ervina Howarda. Ač se dožil pouhých 30 let, stvořil hned několik nesmrtelných hrdinů a společně s J. R. R. Tolkienem stál u zrodu dodnes oblíbeného žánru hrdinské fantasy. Sám Howard přivedl na svět barbara Conana, Rudou Sonju či puritánského šermíře jménem Solomon Kane. A s Howardem Phillipsem Lovecraftem a dalšími patřil k nejvýznamnějším tvůrcům uznávajícím mýtus Cthulhu (dnes je nejznámějším autorem této fiktivní mytologie Stephen King). Povídky Příšera z mohyly a Dotek smrti ve skvělém podání pozvaných herců – Petra Šmída, Jiřího Dvořáka a Filipa Šorma – dokazují, že Howardovo dílo obstojí i dnes.

Audiokniha: Zrození legendární bojovnice.Rudá Soňa patří mezi slavné popkulturní postavy. Objevila se ve filmech, komiksech i počítačových hrách. Poprvé se představila již před více než devadesáti lety v knize Roberta E. Howarda Stín supa. A právě toto dílo nyní vychází v Česku poprvé jako audiokniha.Howard novelu publikoval v roce 1934, na samém úsvitu fantasy žánru. Příběh zasadil do období tureckého tažení na Vídeň. Sultán Sulejman vyslal své vojsko dobýt Evropu a v cestě mu stála poslední bašta odporu, habsburská metropole. Bitva o Vídeň vstoupila do učebnic dějepisu odražením osmanských vojsk, ale kdo ví, jak by to tehdy – alespoň podle Howarda – dopadlo, kdyby se mezi obránci města neobjevili paladin Gottfried von Kalmbach a tajemná rusovlasá bojovnice Rudá Soňa.Rudá Soňa – Stín supa je považovaná za jednu z prvních knih v žánru fantasy zvaném Sword & Sorcery.Robert E. Howard krátce po vydání zemřel, ale jeho hrdinka tehdy čtenáře fascinovala natolik, že se Rudá Soňa začala objevovat v příbězích dalších autorů. A Howardovi, spolu s jeho dalším hrdinou Barbarem Conanem, zajistila mezi fanoušky fantasy věčnou slávu.

Over the years Katherine Howard, Henry VIII’s fifth wife, has been slandered as a ‘juvenile delinquent’, ‘empty-headed wanton’ and ‘natural born tart’, who engaged in promiscuous liaisons prior to her marriage and committed adultery after. Though she was bright, charming and beautiful, her actions in a climate of distrust and fear of female sexuality led to her ruin in 1542 after less than two years as queen. In this in-depth biography, Conor Byrne uses the results of six years of research to challenge these assumptions, arguing that Katherine’s notorious reputation is unfounded and redeeming her as Henry VIII’s most defamed queen. He offers new insights into her activities and behaviour as consort, as well as the nature of her relationships with Manox, Dereham and Culpeper, looking at her representations in media and how they have skewed popular opinion. Who was the real Katherine Howard and has society been wrong to judge her so harshly for the past 500 years?
