A wide-ranging and dramatic account of the Antonine plague, the mysterious disease that struck the Roman Empire at its pinnacleIn the middle of the second century AD, Rome was at its prosperous and powerful apex. The emperor Marcus Aurelius reigned over a vast territory that stretched from Britain to Egypt. The Roman-made peace, or Pax Romana, seemed to be permanent. Then, apparently out of nowhere, a sudden sickness struck the legions and laid waste to cities, including Rome itself. This fast-spreading disease, now known as the Antonine plague, may have been history’s first pandemic. Soon after its arrival, the Empire began its downward trajectory toward decline and fall. In Pox Romana, historian Colin Elliott offers a comprehensive, wide-ranging account of this pivotal moment in Roman history. Did a single disease—its origins and diagnosis still a mystery—bring Rome to its knees? Carefully examining all the available evidence, Elliott shows that Rome’s problems were more insidious. Years before the pandemic, the thin veneer of Roman peace and prosperity had begun to crack: the economy was sluggish, the military found itself bogged down in the Balkans and the Middle East, food insecurity led to riots and mass migration, and persecution of Christians intensified. The pandemic exposed the crumbling foundations of a doomed Empire. Arguing that the disease was both cause and effect of Rome’s fall, Elliott describes the plague’s “preexisting conditions” (Rome’s multiple economic, social, and environmental susceptibilities); recounts the history of the outbreak itself through the experiences of physician, victim, and political operator; and explores postpandemic crises. The pandemic’s most transformative power, Elliott suggests, may have been its lingering presence as a threat both real and perceived.

'The best things are worth waiting for. SAS veteran Colin Maclachlan's much anticipated book is arresting, revelatory, inspirational and explosive. An elite operator's gripping true story. It blows the door off!' - Damien Lewis'Colin has made a fascinating start to his life already, but the adventure is just beginning!’ - Andy McNab“An incredible story of courage and commitment under fire” - Bear Grylls"A rollercoaster of an account of a young boy through to SAS Commander on some of the biggest missions in modern times" - Chris RyanThe Pilgrim is the book the MOD tried to ban. It is a rollercoaster of an autobiography of Colin Maclachlan, known for his appearances on shows like Channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins and Channel 5’s Secrets of the SAS. His autobiography starts with his troubled childhood and escape to the military where, as a fifteen year- old boy, he grows up and matures into the SAS soldier we now recognise. Early chapters describe physical, mental and sexual abuse and Colin could easily have ended up in a home but despite the odds and with the help of both the Children’s Panels, NSPCC and some diligent schoolteachers, Colin escaped to the army. Colin had to get special permission to join the army at only fifteen years of age and goes from being a young vulnerable and damaged boy to a capable soldier through preparation for the first Gulf War and joining the oldest and most senior infantry regiment in the British Army, The Royal Scots. From operations in Northern Ireland to being the Queen’s Butcher to Colin’s first TV cameos on Soldier Soldier and Gladiators, Colin’s stories and anecdotes are both exhilarating and hilarious. Colin then describes the arduous SAS selection process, the hardest and most gruelling military selection process in the world. Colin describes in some detail what most have never even heard in this secretive world where Colin goes from a course of what seemed hundreds down to only six percent in six months! The reader is then taken on a never seen before description of life as an SAS operator. Daily life in an operational squadron and the operations, missions and training involved all described in detail. Colin was part of Mountain Troop, D Squadron who were to be involved in some of the most high-profile and dangerous missions in SAS history.

Poxl West unikl nacistům, když obsazovali Československo. Znovu se z jejich spárů vymanil v Holandsku. Pomáhal zachraňovat Londýňany z trosek po náletech během bleskové války. Podmanil si nejednu neodolatelnou a nekonvenční krásku. Jako pilot RAF ze svého bombardéru dštil oheň a síru na Německo. Poxl West je ztělesněním mužnosti a jeho synovec, teenager Eli Goldstein, k němu vzhlíží jako k idolu. Vidí v něm statečného židovského válečného hrdinu. Tento obdiv se ještě prohloubí, když se West rozhodne poskládat nejlepší historky ze svého života a napsat paměti. Eli se zatajeným dechem hltá každé vyprávění o strýcových dobrodružstvích a milostných románcích. Po vydání sklidí tento memoár jménem Skylock velký úspěch a Poxl se v rámci jeho propagace vydává na cesty po světě. Zmizí tak i ze života svého synovce, který je četbou strýcova opusu zcela pohlcen a ještě více propadne fascinaci vším, co se jen trochu týká Poxla Westa. Čím hlouběji se ale Eli noří do Poxlovy minulosti, tím je mu jasnější, že život nebojácného superhrdiny měl také svou temnou stránku. Začíná chápat, že velkolepá dobrodružství s sebou nesla i nepředstavitelné ztráty. Ztráty, z kterých se možná Poxl nikdy nezotavil. Pravda postupně vyplouvá na povrch a Eli se musí smířit s tím, že si příliš idealizoval nejen život a činy svého hrdiny, ale také samotnou válku.Poslední let Poxl West, knižní prvotina Daniela Tordaye, mistrně splétá dohromady rozdílné pohledy na svět, které mají obě hlavní postavy – Poxl West a Eli Goldstein. Hledá odpověď na otázku, co znamená být hrdinou a členem rodiny v dlouhém stínu války.

''Colin Heber-Percy is a reliable guide'' - THE REVEREND RICHARD COLESWhere am I? Who am I? And why didn''t I bring a sandwich...?This book is a hymn to getting lost. Drawing on his experience as a troubled schoolboy, a burnt-out screenwriter at the BBC, an ''awkward'' priest in the Church of England, Colin Heber-Percy reflects on the value of not belonging...We all share a desire to belong. There''s reassurance and safety in knowing who we are and where we fit in. But at significant moments in our lives - a new job, new school or an unexpected change of circumstances - or just in the ruts and routines of everyday life, we can experience a sense of not belonging, of dislocation, of being lost in a forest. But, there is another way to approach these uneasy moments. Rather than fearing the forest, Colin discovers great value and creativity there.Join parish priest Colin Heber-Percy in an invitation to get lost - to lose the labels society and institutions use to box us in - and to relish the liberation of losing our way in the world. Blending anecdotes from parish life, with philosophy, literature and tales from his local Savernake Forest, Colin argues that there is an overlooked richness, a spirituality and a freedom to be found outside the boundary lines our culture sets for us.Lost in the Forest is a gentle, funny, and life-affirming trail of crumbs through the woods...PRAISE FOR COLIN HEBER-PERCY:''Colin Heber-Percy''s prose is flowing and he writes amusingly, perceptively and beautifully'' ― KATE GREEN, Country Life''A gentle, generous spirit.'' ― SIMON RUSSELL BEALE''A Wordsworthian appreciation of nature and is full of humanity and wisdom.'' ― SARAH SANDS, journalist and author of ''The Interior Silence''

Since its first publication, J. H. Elliott''s classic chronicle has become established as the most comprehensive, balanced, and accessible account of the dramatic rise and fall of imperial Spain. Now with a new preface by the author, this brilliant study unveils how a barren, impoverished, and isolated country became the greatest power on earth—and just as quickly fell into decline.At its greatest Spain was a master of Europe: its government was respected, its armies were feared, and its conquistadores carved out a vast empire. Yet this splendid power was rapidly to lose its impetus and creative dynamism. How did this happen in such a short space of time? Taking in rebellions, religious conflict and financial disaster, Elliott''s masterly social and economic analysis studies the various factors that precipitated the end of an empire.

Artificial intelligence not only powers our cars, hospitals and courtrooms: predictive algorithms are becoming deeply lodged inside us too. Machine intelligence is learning our private preferences and discreetly shaping our personal behaviour, telling us how to live, who to befriend and who to date. In Algorithmic Intimacy, Anthony Elliott examines the power of predictive algorithms in reshaping personal relationships today. From Facebook friends and therapy chatbots to dating apps and quantified sex lives, Elliott explores how machine intelligence is working within us, amplifying our desires and steering our personal preferences. He argues that intimate relationships today are threatened not by the digital revolution as such, but by the orientation of various life strategies unthinkingly aligned with automated machine intelligence. Our reliance on algorithmic recommendations, he suggests, reflects a growing emergency in personal agency and human bonds. We need alternatives, innovation and experimentation for the interpersonal, intimate effort of ongoing translation back and forth between the discourses of human and machine intelligence.  Accessible and compelling, this book sheds fresh light on the impact of artificial intelligence on the most intimate aspects of our lives. It will appeal to students in the social sciences and humanities and to a wide range of general readers.

Colin Tudge''s The Secret Life of Trees: How they Live and Why they Matter explores the hidden role of trees in our everyday lives - and how our future survival depends on them. What is a tree? As this celebration of the trees shows, they are our countryside; our ancestors descended from them; they gave us air to breathe. Yet while the stories of trees are as plentiful as leaves in a forest, they are rarely told. Here, Colin Tudge travels from his own back garden round the world to explore the beauty, variety and ingenuity of trees everywhere: from how they live so long to how they talk to each other and why they came to exist in the first place. Lyrical and evocative, this book will make everyone fall in love with the trees around them. ''A love-letter to trees'' Financial Times ''One of those books you want everyone to have already read'' Sunday Telegraph ''Wonderful, invaluable and timely. Tudge is as illuminating a guide as one could wish for'' Daily Mail ''Everyone interested in the natural world will enjoy The Secret Life of Trees. I found myself reading out whole chunks to friends'' The Times Books of the Year Colin Tudge started his first tree nursery in his garden aged 11, marking his life-long interest in trees. Always interested in plants and animals, he studied zoology at Cambridge and then began writing about science, first as features editor at the New Scientist and then as a documentary maker for the BBC. Now a full-time writer, he is a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London and visiting Research Fellow at the Centre of Philosophy at the London School of Economics. His books include The Variety of Life and So Shall We Reap.

„Završení O’Bradyho úsilí se zapsalo mezi nejpozoruhodnější úspěchy polárních výprav.“ Úctyhodná autobiografie Colina O’Bradyho popisuje jeho úspěšné zotavení z tragické nehody, korunované sólovým pochodem o délce 1500 km napříč Antarktidou. Až do prosince 2018 se nikomu nepodařilo přejít pevninskou Antarktidu sám, bez pomoci a jen vlastními silami. A právě k tomu odhodlal Colin O’Brady, přestože o deset let dříve pochyboval o tom, že bude ještě někdy normálně chodit. Z temnot tragické nehody si vybojoval cestu zpátky na vrchol. Sám se svými myšlenkami téměř dva měsíce na rozlehlém zmrzlém kontinentu – zmítaný strachem a pochybnostmi – se vracel do minulosti a hledal odvahu a inspiraci ve vztazích a zážitcích, které ovlivnily jeho život. Upřímná, velmi dojemná kniha naplněná křehkými okamžiky na pozadí nejextrémnějšího prostředí na světě – od Mount Everestu po Antarktidu – ukazuje, jak může každý z nás zavrhnout hranice, překonat ty nejtěžší překážky a zjistit, na čem nejvíc záleží. COLIN O’BRADY je cestovatel, špičkový vytrvalostní sportovec, držitel několika světových rekordů a motivační řečník. Mezi jeho výkony patří první sólový přechod Antarktidy bez podpory, jen pomocí svých vlastních sil; je držitelem horolezeckých rychlostních rekordů Explorers Grand Slamu a Sedmi vrcholů a zdolal nejvyšší vrcholy všech padesáti států USA za rekordních jednadvacet dní. Je absolventem Yaleovy univerzity a žádaným řečníkem, jehož přednášky a neziskové aktivity inspirovaly miliony lidí.

How to Disappear is bassist Colin Greenwood's stunning portrait of Radiohead in his own photographs.Two decades in the making, he takes us on a journey into the heart of the 21st-century's most influential band, a maverick collective who have vastly broadened our musical landscape while they dominate and distort it. On stage, backstage, in the rehearsal room, behind the scenes, on tour, at work and at play, Colin's photographs, and the stories and memories they evoke for him in his accompanying text, form an intimate portrait of the musical and cultural iconoclasts as they travel through 'our middle years: all the joy and doubt and confidence and uncertainty we would oscillate between'.

Isolated beyond the central Himalayas, its summit has never been scaled, but for centuries the mountain has been ritually circled by Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. Colin Thubron joins these pilgrims, after an arduous trek from Nepal, through the high passes of Tibet, to the magical lakes beneath the slopes of Kailas itself. He talks to secluded villagers and to monks in their decaying monasteries; he tells the stories of exiles and of eccentric explorers from the West. Yet he is also walking on a pilgrimage of his own. Having recently witnessed the death of the last of his family, his trek around the great mountain awakes an inner landscape of love and grief, restoring precious fragments of his own past.
