The fourth book in the Jack Parlabane series, from author Christopher Brookmyre.It was a junket, a freebie. A ''team-building'' weekend in the highlands for lawyers, advertising execs, businessmen, even the head of a charity. Oh, and a journalist, specially solicited for his renowned and voluble scepticism - Jack Parlabane. Amid the flying paintballs and flowing Shiraz even the most cynical admit the organisers have pulled some surprises - stalkers in the forest, power cuts in the night, mass mobile phone thefts, disappearing staff, disappearing guests: there''s nothing can bring out people''s hidden strengths or break down inter-personal barriers quite like not having a clue what''s going on and being scared out of your wits. However, when the only vehicular access for thirty miles is cut off it seems that events are being orchestrated not just for pleasure ... And that''s before they find the first body. Thereafter, ''finding out who your colleagues really are'' is not so much an end product as the key to reaching Monday morning alive.

Flip the script on how you think about UGLY--what it means, what it is, and how to reclaim it to Uplift, Glorify, and Love Yourself in an uglified world.Blending joyful self-help magic with incisive social analysis and personal narrative, Vanessa Rochelle Lewis empowers readers to heal, connect, and revolt against uglification.Uglification is "ugly" weaponized: a tool, ideology, and type of oppression that designates some bodies as more or less worthy of love, respect, access, and dignity. It defines who''s accepted in what spaces, which identities are marginalized, and how we all move through the world--and is part and parcel of systems like white supremacy, ableism, sizeism, sexism, and queer- and transphobia. Here, Lewis takes on uglification, showing us how reclaiming UGLY is a subversive act that roars an unapologetic "yes!" to joy, healing, and community-building in a world that''s engineered to hold us back.Lewis asks us to go beyond analysis, inviting us to boldly perform UGLY as an act of rebellion, liberation, and radical self-love. Through self-help exercises, reflective meditations, and lesson plans, Lewis moves us closer to a collective liberation that takes back what society tells us is ugly and taboo...and teaches us to deconstruct what we''ve told ourselves is ugly and taboo. In sharing her analysis, personal journey, and activity toolkit, Lewis offers a warm embrace and compassionately guides us toward lives of radical self-acceptance, joyful community-centered healing, and unfiltered self-love.

Originální optická jednotka UG-3220 nahradí ve vaší laserové tiskárně jednu z jejich nejdůležitějších součástek. Optická jednotka, jinak také optický válec, má totiž na starosti přenos a fixování toneru na papír – tedy samotný tisk. Jelikož u laserových tiskáren, které disponují samostatnou optickou jednotkou, nedochází k pravidelné výměně optického válce spolu s tonerem, optický válec se postupně opotřebovává. Správný čas na výměnu optické jednotky je tehdy, když začnete pozorovat vady tisku. Samostatná optická jednotka UG-3220 s kapacitou 20000 stran je konstruovaná tak, aby mnohonásobně přežila životnost tonerové kazety. Jejich vyšší pořizovací cenu dokonale vyváží levnější spotřební materiál – tonerové kazety u tiskáren, kde je použitá samostatná optická jednotka (optický válec není součástí toneru), jsou levnější, než ty jejichž součástí je optický válec. Originální optická jednotka UG-3220 je vyráběna a testování pod přísným dohledem výrobce vaší tiskárny. Samotná značka Panasonic tak ručí svým jménem za to, že vše bude fungovat, jak má. Obecně jsou tiskové výstupy z originálních součástek spolehlivější a věrnější než při použití alternativ v podobě kompatibilních součástek. Originální optické jednotky mívají méně problémů s kompatibilitou a jejich použitím nevznikají zbytečné komplikace s případnou reklamací tiskárny v záruční době. Jejich nevýhodou je ale vysoká pořizovací cena. Výhodnou alternativou jsou tak kompatibilní optické jednotky, které jsou mnohdy i řádově levnější. Japonská značka elektroniky Panasonic je známá hlavně díky svým televizím, díky kterým se stala v roce 2012 jejich největším světovým producentem. Společnost ale působí i na poli osobních počítačů, osvětlení, audio vybavení, fotoaparátů, projektorů, baterií a samozřejmě i tiskáren. Panasonic se zaměřuje se na multifunkční zařízení pro malé a střední kanceláře, které hledají co do počtu jednotlivých funkcí těžko konkurenci.

In Ugly Freedoms Elisabeth R. Anker reckons with the complex legacy of freedom offered by liberal American democracy, outlining how the emphasis of individual liberty has always been entangled with white supremacy, settler colonialism, climate destruction, economic exploitation, and patriarchy. These “ugly freedoms” legitimate the right to exploit and subjugate others. At the same time, Anker locates an unexpected second type of ugly freedom in practices and situations often dismissed as demeaning, offensive, gross, and ineffectual but that provide sources of emancipatory potential. She analyzes both types of ugly freedom at work in a number of texts and locations, from political theory, art, and film to food, toxic dumps, and multispecies interactions. Whether examining how Kara Walker’s sugar sculpture A Subtlety, Or the Marvelous Sugar Baby reveals the importance of sugar plantations to liberal thought or how the impoverished neighborhoods in The Wire blunt neoliberalism’s violence, Anker shifts our perspective of freedom by contesting its idealized expressions and expanding the visions for what freedom can look like, who can exercise it, and how to build a world free from domination.

''Your book is the "really good book. Just one" that Roger Butler would have wanted'' - Sir Ian McKellen''Absorbing and often very moving'' - Peter Parker, Spectator''Sir, we are homosexuals . . .''So began the letter penned by Roger Butler and sent to several British newspaper editors - some of whom were so shocked they thought it was a hoax - in June 1960. Writing such a letter seven years before the decriminalisation of homosexuality was a radical and dangerous move. It was a risk that set a major milestone in the fight for gay rights - one that has been almost entirely forgotten.This is the story of the first man to come out voluntarily, using his own name, to the entire British public, a decade before activists started petitioning gay people everywhere to ''come out proud''. Taking us through a criminalised underworld of gay pubs, parties and activist meetings, The Light of Day charts how Roger helped bring about the legalisation of homosexuality, but soon found himself marginalised from the movement he kickstarted after losing his sight in his early 30s.Enter Christopher - a student asked to visit and read to an old, blind man at the beginning of a new century. As their intergenerational friendship bloomed, Roger came to trust Christopher with his most precious possession: memoirs of his revolutionary past, locked away in his home. After Roger''s death, Christopher opened a series of unsent letters, left in a pink folder, addressed to him. They contained Roger''s final wish, for Christopher finally to bring his remarkable, hidden story into the light of day.''Remarkable . . . a splendidly sprawling part biography, part autobiography, part history and part social commentary . . . the result, a true account, benefits greatly from a lightness, a candour untethered to any agenda or argument'' - Times Literary Supplement''Faithfully and beautifully told'' - Mail on Sunday

Christopher Tolkien’s masterly translation of the Icelandic Heidrek’s Saga, including the dramatic Battle of the Goths and the Huns, the lyrical Waking of Angantyr, and the unique riddle-contest between King Heidrek and the god Odin.Heidrek’s Saga is a medieval entertainment – a ‘romance’, but a romance that derives little of its matter from the literature of France or Germany. It is an example of a kind of story-telling that was flourishing in Iceland by the beginning of the twelfth century, and which (in contrast to the more celebrated ‘Sagas of the Icelanders’) told of legendary figures whose origins lie far back in time beyond the settlement of the country.The elements of the story, diverse in age and atmosphere, are unified in the theme of a possession bearing an ancestral curse, as it passes down the generations; but the saga’s peculiar value lies in the older poems which the unknown author set into the framework of his narrative, including The Battle of the Goths and the Huns, perhaps the oldest of all the Northern heroic lays, The Waking of Angantyr, source of many eighteenth-century ‘Gothic Odes’, and the unique riddle-contest between King Heidrek and the god Odin in disguise.Translated from the Icelandic with Introduction, Notes and Appendices by Christopher Tolkien, then Lecturer in Old English at New College, Oxford, The Saga of King Heidrek the Wise was first published in 1960 in Nelson’s Icelandic Texts series. Marking Christopher Tolkien''s centenary, this first ever paperback edition also includes his original essay ''The Battle of the Goths and the Huns'' as a bonus chapter.

Winner of the Wolfson History Prize, Christopher Clark''s Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia 1600-1947 is a compelling account of a country that played a pivotal role in Europe''s fortunes and fundamentally shaped our world. Prussia began as a medieval backwater, but transformed itself into a major European power and the force behind the creation of the German empire, until it was finally abolished by the Allies after the Second World War. With great flair and authority, Christopher Clark describes Prussia''s great battles, dynastic marriages and astonishing reversals of fortune, its brilliant and charismatic leaders from the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg to Bismarck and Frederick the Great, the military machine and the progressive, enlightened values on which it was built. ''Fascinating ... masterly ... littered with intriguing detail and wry observation'' Richard Overy, Daily Telegraph ''A terrific book ... the definitive history of this much-maligned state'' Daily Telegraph Books of the Year ''You couldn''t have the triumph and the tragedy of Prussia better told'' Observer ''A magisterial history of Europe''s only extinct power'' Financial Times ''Exemplary ... an illuminating, profoundly satisfying work of history'' The New York Times Christopher Clark is a lecturer in Modern European History at St Catharine''s College, University of Cambridge. He is also the author of Kaiser Wilhelm II: A Life in Power.

In June 1960, several British newspapers received a letter so shocking some thought it was a hoax. Beginning ''Sir, we are homosexuals . . '', it was signed by Roger Butler and two others. Publishing such a letter seven years prior to the decriminalisation of homosexuality was a radical and dangerous move. But it was a risk that marked a huge milestone in the fight for gay rights. By the 1970s, the Gay Liberation Front was calling on people to come out to help reduce stigma, and it continued to be a core tactic in the 80s and 90s. Roger, however, had done this a full decade earlier. This is the story about of first man to voluntarily come out in his own words, using his own name, to the entire British public. Taking us through a criminalised underworld of pubs, parties and campaign gatherings, The Light of Day charts how Roger helped bring about a change in the law, legalising sex between men, but soon found himself marginalised from the movement he kickstarted after becoming completely blind in his early 30s. Worn down trying to navigate life afresh in London, he left for Oxford, where he became increasingly isolated and never found the life partner he so desperately wanted.Enter Christopher - an Oxford University student asked by a friend to visit and read to an old, blind man. Though their intergenerational friendship bloomed, Roger never spoke of his revolutionary act. Instead he wrote about it secretly, leaving his account to Christopher after his death, along with a sealed pink folder. It was in that folder that the Roger revealed his final wish, for Christopher to tell his remarkable story.A hugely moving and powerful story about sexuality, disability, friendship, isolation, love and more, The Light of Day is a vital piece of missing history about a brave revolutionary in the fight for equality.

Through his leading role in the three Superman films, Christopher Reeve became so closely identified with the superhero that he wasn''t just seen as the actor who played Superman, he was Superman. Which is why the tragic riding accident which left him paralysed from the neck down shocked the world. Superman was not superhuman. It is also why he is now the world''s most recognisable person in a wheelchair. In true superhero style, Christopher Reeve refuses to resign himself to the life of a quadriplegic, and is actively campaigning to raise the profile of spinal-cord injury victims and research. Although he was initially told that he would only ever be able to move his head, he can now shrug his shoulders and breathe alone for increasing periods of time, and is determined that he will walk again. It is this extraordinary courage and determination that has made Christopher Reeve the internationally admired figure that he is, and it is this bravery which makes this autobiography about his paralysis and his journey to recovery such a powerful and moving story.

WINNER OF THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION''S JOHN K. FAIRBANK PRIZESHORTLISTED FOR THE CUNDHILL HISTORY PRIZE 2017''This is the finest single-volume history of Vietnam in English. It challenges myths, and raises questions about the socialist republic''s political future'' Guardian''Powerful and compelling. Vietnam will be of growing importance in the twenty-first-century world, particularly as China and the US rethink their roles in Asia. Christopher Goscha''s book is a brilliant account of that country''s history.'' - Rana Mitter''A vigorous, eye-opening account of a country of great importance to the world, past and future'' - Kirkus ReviewsOver the centuries the Vietnamese have beenboth colonizers themselves and the victims of colonization by others. Their country expanded, shrunk, split and sometimes disappeared, often under circumstances far beyond their control. Despite these often overwhelming pressures, Vietnam has survived as one of Asia''s most striking and complex cultures.As more and more visitors come to this extraordinary country, there has been for some years a need for a major history - a book which allows the outsider to understand the many layers left by earlier emperors, rebels, priests and colonizers. Christopher Goscha''s new work amply fills this role. Drawing on a lifetime of thinking about Indo-China, he has created a narrative which is consistently seen from ''inside'' Vietnam but never loses sight of the connections to the ''outside''. As wave after wave of invaders - whether Chinese, French, Japanese or American - have been ultimately expelled, we see the terrible cost to the Vietnamese themselves. Vietnam''s role in one of the Cold War''s longest conflicts has meant that its past has been endlessly abused for propaganda purposes and it is perhaps only now that the events which created the modern state can be seen from a truly historical perspective.Christopher Goscha draws on the latest research and discoveries in Vietnamese, French and English. His book is a major achievement, describing both the grand narrative of Vietnam''s story but also the byways, curiosities, differences, cultures and peoples that have done so much over the centuries to define the many versions of Vietnam.
