Wealth Secrets of the 1% - Sam Wilkin
''Infuriating... Wilkin''s main claim is that the super-rich have discovered ''secret'' ways of both making and preserving their fortunes... like [Capital author Thomas] Piketty, Wilkin has a love-hate relationship with capitalism. He takes the view that most billionaires are rich because, one way or another, they have found ways to rig the market.'' The TimesWhat does it take to make a fortune? Hard work? Great ideas? Intelligence? Business acumen? Or something else entirely? Spanning centuries and continents, from the Ancient World to the 21st century, Wealth Secrets of the 1% uncovers the economic principles that enable a fortunate few to get really rich. Witty, provocative and immaculately researched, it is essential and revelatory reading at a time when 1% of the world''s population owns half of its wealth.''Clever [and] entertaining, with a distinctly satirical edge'' Daily Mail''Illuminating [and] eye-opening... sure to make libertarian heads explode'' Kirkus Reviews''What makes this book different is that Sam Wilkin is an inside man'' Daily Telegraph''No one gets really rich reading how-to-get-rich handbooks...Wilkin offers up the real scoop in Wealth Secrets of the One Percent, a delicious - and insight-packed - send-up of the genre.''

The world of Stonehenge - Duncan Garrow, Neil Wilkin
‘A simply outstanding book’ ‘Astonishing’ ‘[A] rich treasure-trove of photographs of objects’ ‘The book truly is a delight, and is a ‘book of the ancestors’ in a very real sense.’ ‘Highly recommended.’ - Sacred Hoop Magazine, March 2022 Stonehenge is one of the best known, but most misunderstood, monuments in the world. Contrary to common belief, it was not a static, unchanging structure built by shadowy figures or druids. Rather it represents the cumulative achievement of numerous generations who were woven into a complex and widespread network of cultural interactions, environmental change and belief systems. This publication, which accompanies the first exhibition about Stonehenge ever staged in London, uses the monument as a gateway to explore the communities and civilisations active at the time of its construction and beyond, between 4,000 and 1,000 BCE. Recent archaeological findings regarding the origin of Stonehenge’s striking ‘bluestones’ have reignited interest in this ancient wonder, the people who built it and the beliefs they held. Through the ‘iconic’ structure, spectacular objects of precious and exotic material and more humble, personal objects, authors Duncan Garrow and Neil Wilkin examine the dramatic cultural and societal shifts that characterised the world of Stonehenge, including the introduction of ...

Frontier Comrades - Jim Wilke
Frontier Comrades examines six accounts of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender lives on the frontier of the American West. Each account interprets this history through experiences that take place in different parts of the West, moving chronologically from the fur trade era to the dawn of the automobile age. Jim Wilke provides the first comprehensive accounts of figures such as transgender stage driver Charley Parkhurst; transgender Seventh Cavalry laundress Mrs. Noonan (also known as Mrs. Nash); and the extraordinary Clara Dietrich and Ora Chatfield, known by the contemporary press as “lady lovers.” Frontier Comrades also offers glimpses of individual personalities: the cool and detached grandeur of William Stewart as he traversed the West during the fur trade era; the stubborn determination of Charley Parkhurst after California’s gold rush; the careful, giddy energy of Mrs. Noonan; the hidden passions of Tombstone sheriff William Breakenridge for a Vanderbilt and a local rustler; the desperate bravery of Dietrich and Chatfield as they sought to elope from Victorian Aspen; and the masculine, matter-of-fact comradeship of loggers and miners as they worked the distant Sierras. The maelstrom of opportunities and conflicts that made up the West affected lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender westerners in intrinsically ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Justice and Recognition - Marek Hrubec, Nythamar de Oliveira, Giovani Saavedra, Emil Sobottka
Kniha se zaměřuje na dva významné koncepty teorie společnosti: spravedlnost a uznání, především sociální spravedlnost a sociální uznání. Rozebírá jejich význam, jejich vzájemný vztah a jejich společenské, právní a globální aspekty. Ukazuje, že tradiční teorie a praxe zahrnují vážné deficity v oblasti spravedlnosti a uznání a nabízí alternativní přístupy z hlediska kritické teorie společnosti. Kniha analyzuje, jakou zásadní roli hraje uznání v kritické teorii zneuznání Axela Honnetha. The book offers essays focusing on the connection between injustice and misrecognition, or justice and recognition (Anerkennung). The formulation of the issue of justice and recognition is closely linked with Axel Honneth as a critical theorist who mostly contributed to philosophical and social scientific research on recognition. The book shows and evaluates what the contributions of Honneth's theory of social recognition and its relation to justice are. The book as a whole contributes to the current theoretical discussions on justice at domestic and global levels, and presents the significant role of recognition in them. Vyšlo ve spolupráci s PURCS, Porto Alegre.

The Wrong Man - Amanda Brookfield
'No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield' The Mirror 'In the weeks that followed, Jane did her best not to think about anything very much. Usually, it worked. But every so often she would freeze, and tremble at the terrifying realisation that she wanted to leave her husband.'While many regard her marriage with admiration and a touch of envy, Jane Lytton quietly reaches the shocking conclusion that her relationship with Michael, a successful banker with little time for her – or the nitty-gritty of family life – is failing. Even daring to contemplate leaving Michael is daunting. With no obvious outward signs of any marital problems, family and friends greet news of the predicament with a mixture of anger and uncomprehending sympathy. Forced to accept that she is alone, Jane takes drastic steps that veer her life off course. When at last her vision clears to reveal the best chance of happiness, it looks as if she may have left it too late. Being with the wrong man does not make finding the ‘right’ one any easier. Amanda Brookfield’s loving but unflinching dissection of marriage and relationships is timeless and irresistible. The Wrong ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Rodina Mikmaků z Nového Skotska přijíždí do Maine, aby zde přes léto sbírala borůvky. O několik týdnů později zmizí čtyřletá Ruthie, nejmladší dítě rodiny. Naposledy ji viděl její šestiletý bratr Joe, jak sedí na oblíbené skále na okraji borůvkového pole. Úzkost, smutek a výčitky z Ruthiina zmizení pronásledují Joea celý život. Ve státě Maine vyrůstá mladá dívka Norma jako jediné dítě zámožných rodičů. Její otec je citově chladný, matka přehnaně úzkostlivá. Normu trápí opakující se sny a vize tak živé, že připomínají spíše reálné vzpomínky než představy. Jak Norma dospívá, postupně si začíná uvědomovat, že je tu něco, co jí rodiče neříkají. Své intuice se nehodlá vzdát, a tak stráví desítky let snahou odhalit rodinné tajemství.

Edward Weston: The Flame of Recognition
Sixty years after its publication, The Flame of Recognition continues to offer unmatched insight into the mind, life, and work of a twentieth-century icon. This classic monograph, first issued as a hardcover volume in 1965, began its life in 1958 as a monographic issue of Aperture magazine. Drawing on a decades-long collaboration between the photographer and Nancy Newhall, Aperture cofounder and Museum of Modern Art curator, The Flame of Recognition brings together a sequence of images and excerpts from Weston's writing in an effort to channel the photographer's creativity and, in his own words, "present clearly my feeling for life with photographic beauty . . . without subterfuge or evasion in spirit or technique."In 2015, Aperture reissued the book on its fiftieth anniversary, and ten years later Aperture is pleased to present the sixtieth anniversary edition in an elegant paperback edition. The Flame of Recognition covers the range of Weston's greatest works, from the portraits and nudes to the landscapes and still lifes. Accompanying and amplifying the images are Weston's own thoughts, excerpted from his now-famed Daybooks and letters. Others who contributed to the making of the book include two of the artist's sons, Brett and Cole, and two other ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Free - Amanda Knox
Amanda Knox spent nearly four years in prison and eight years on trial for a murder she didn''t commit - and became a notorious tabloid story in the process. Though she was exonerated, it''s taken more than a decade for her to reclaim her identity and truly feel free. Free recounts how Amanda survived prison, the mistakes she made and misadventures she had reintegrating into society, culminating in the untold story of her return to Italy and the extraordinary relationship she''s built with the man who sent her to prison. It is the gripping saga of what happens when you become the definition of notorious, but have quietly returned to the matters of a normal life - seeking a life partner, finding a job, or even just going out in public. In harrowing (and sometimes hilarious) detail, Amanda tells the story of her personal growth and hard‑fought wisdom, recasting her public reckoning as a private reflection on the search for meaning and purpose that will speak to everyone persevering through hardship.
