ON BEHALF OF QUEEN, COUNTRY . . . AND THE PERFECT POT OF TEA When Prudence Alessandra Maccon Akeldama (Rue to her friends) is given an unexpected dirigible, she does what any sensible female would under similar circumstances - names it the Spotted Crumpet and floats to India in pursuit of the perfect cup of tea. But India has more than just tea on offer. Rue stumbles upon a plot involving local dissidents, a kidnapped brigadier''s wife and some awfully familiar Scottish werewolves. Faced with a dire crisis and an embarrassing lack of bloomers, what else is a young lady of good breeding to do but turn metanatural and find out everyone''s secrets, even thousand-year-old fuzzy ones?

Renamed the Old Way, medieval pilgrims are thought to have travelled this route to reach the celebrated shrine of Thomas Becket.Over four seasons, travel writer Gail Simmons walks the Old Way, winding 240 miles between the chalk hills and shifting seascapes of the south coast, to rediscover what a long journey on foot offers us today.

Can we now reclaim pilgrimage as a secular act?Blending history, anthropology, etymology and geology, Gail''s walk reveals the rich natural and cultural heritage found on our own doorstep.

Kniha Dějiny pohanské Evropy je mimořádně čtivým přehledem pohanských náboženství ze všech částí Evropy, který se přitom vyznačuje vědeckým a historickým přístupem a zpracováním. Pohanství se v pojetí autorů neomezuje jen na klasické náboženství antiky, ani na protikřesťanské nebo humanistické pojetí lidského světa. Definují jej především jako polyteismus, který vidí v přírodě teofanii, projevení božství, jehož základní složkou je i Bohyně, ženský princip. To vysvětluje i rostoucí oblibu pohanství, které nyní čerpá impulsy ze zájmu o životní prostředí a ze snahy feminismu emancipovat ženy i v duchovní oblasti, dosud setrvávající z velké části v doméně mužů. Autoři ve svém zkoumání vycházejí z nejstarších písemných zpráv o minojské kultuře na Krétě a mykénské kultuře v Řecku. Přes klasické Řecko, záhadnou kulturu Etrusků a Řím, jejichž náboženství jsou poměrně známá, pak pokračují popisem méně známých božstev a rituálů Keltů a Germánů a velký prostor zde dostávají i donedávna málo známé či zcela opomíjené a sotva zdokumentované kmenové systémy Piktů, Finů a ostatních kmenů na severních okrajích kontinentu a Slovanů, včetně Rusů. Kniha se tak stává uceleným a vyváženým popisem původních evropských posvátných tradic, na jejichž existenci jsme už zapomněli a jež nezřídka opomíjejí i duchovně orientovaní lidé, kteří hledají inspiraci například ve ...

Román americké spisovatelky Gail Parentové, který poprvé vyšel roku 1972, je kultovní knihou už pro třetí generaci čtenářek. V mnoha zemích světa se stal bestsellerem, posloužil jako předloha několika divadelních adaptací a byl i zfilmován. Jeho hlavní hrdinka Sheila Levinová je předobrazem Bridget Jonesové - vtipně, sebeironicky a trefně mluví z duše všem "nezadaným třicátnicím", které provází smůla na chlapy. Je přelom 60. a 70. let minulého století a New Yorkem zmítá sexuální revoluce. Sheily Levinové se to ale netýká. Brzy jí bude třicet a nemůže sehnat muže, který by ji chtěl. Ne do postele na jednu noc, ale na celý život. Všechny její kamarádky jsou zadané, ale baculaté a neatraktivní Sheile se štěstí vyhýbá. Rozhodne se spáchat sebevraždu a píše dlouhý dopis na rozloučenou, v němž si vyřizuje účty s celým světem. S rodiči, kteří jí odmalička vštěpovali, že pokud se holka nevdá do pětadvaceti, je odepsaná. Se spolužačkami z univerzity, které byly chytřejší, štíhlejší a úspěšnější. S muži, na něž měla spadeno, ale z nichž se nakonec vyklubali ženáči, neschopní seladoni, podvodníci nebo homosexuálové. Sheile nezbývá než koupit si parcelu na hřbitově, objednat pomník se svým jménem a připravit pohřební řeč, která bude pronesena nad její rakví. Začíná ... Unknown localization key: "more"

It has never been more important for inclusive design research to inform society. Based on 20 years of research and incorporating perspectives from over 500 participants, this book provides a critical overview of public toilet design in the UK and presents an urgent need to re-evaluate the accessibility of, and culture around, these essential spaces. Public toilets are a vital element of public health infrastructure and an area of the built environment that everyone would use, if they could. Drawing from a rich body of research into toilet design, public services, accessibility and social injustice, Jo-Anne Bichard and Gail Ramster explore the complexities around using these facilities and examine a diverse array of design considerations related to age, disability, neurodiversity and gender. The authors look at the development of toilet design in the UK, discussing examples of successful and failed designs, and present an innovative approach for the future that reframes a space associated with unpleasantness and inaccessibility as one that is essential and respected. This rigorous study takes into consideration the body’s needs and decision making on leaving home, issues of navigating, locating and entering facilities, and issues related to cubicles, fixtures, products and hygiene. The authors present an ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Philosophy of Mind: A Very Short Introduction probes some of the great philosophical questions about the mind: What is the relationship between mind and matter? Can science unravel the mystery of consciousness? How can our thoughts represent things in the world? Are computers genuinely intelligent? In the book, Barbara Gail Montero highlights key thought experiments used by philosophers to explore the nature of mind and how mind and body relate to each other (the mind-body problem). She leads readers through the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed solutions to the mind-body problem and explores the philosophical conundrums associated with sensation, perception, cognition, and emotion. While keeping an eye on the contemporary philosophical debate, Montero also considers the cross-cultural roots of philosophy of mind, and its connections to psychology, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and physics. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.

Astonishingly, the average age of first viewing porn is now 11.5 years for boys, and with the advent of the Internet, it’s no surprise that young people are consuming more porn than ever. And, as Gail Dines shows, today’s porn is strikingly different from yesterday’s Playboy. As porn culture has become absorbed into pop culture, a new wave of entrepreneurs are creating porn that is even more hard-core, violent, sexist, and racist. Proving that porn desensitizes and actually limits our sexual freedom, Dines argues its omnipresence is a public health concern we can no longer ignore.
