_____________________________''If you''ve ever wept, "Why Do I Want To Run?", your answer is here.'' CAITLIN MORANAlexandra Heminsley had high hopes: the arse of an athlete, the waist of a supermodel, the speed of a gazelle. Defeated by gyms and bored of yoga, she decided to run.Her first attempt did not end well.Six years later, she has run five marathons in two continents.But, as her dad says, you run with your head as much as with your legs. So, while this is a book about running, it''s not just about running.You could say it''s about ambition (yes, getting out of bed on a rainy Sunday morning counts), relationships (including talking to the intimidating staff in the trainer shop), as well as your body (your boobs don''t have to wobble when you run). But it''s also about realising that you can do more than you ever thought possible.Very funny, very honest and very emotional, whether you''re in serious training or thinking about running for the bus, this is a book for anyone who after wine and crisps for supper a few too many times thinks they might . . . just might . . . like to run like a girl._____________________________Here''s what people are saying about Running Like A Girl - and what it''s inspired them to do!''This book has changed my attitude, I loved it from page one and found it totally relatable for the normal woman...

An electric, searing memoir by the original Riot Grrrl and legendary frontwoman of Bikini Kill and Le TigreKathleen Hanna’s rallying cry to feminists echoed far and wide through the punk scene of the 1980s, ’90s, and beyond. Her band, Bikini Kill, embodies this iconic time, and today their gutsy, radical lyrics of anthems like ‘Rebel Girl’ and ‘Double Dare Ya’ are more powerful than ever. But where did this transformative voice come from?In Rebel Girl, Hanna’s raw and insightful new memoir, she takes us from her tumultuous childhood home, to her formative college years in Olympia, Washington, and on to her first years on tour, fighting hard for gigs and for her band. As Hanna makes blindingly clear, being in a ‘girl band’, especially a punk girl band, in those years was not a simple or a safe prospect. Male violence and antagonism threatened at every turn, and surviving as a band took limitless amounts of grit and bravery.But the relationships she developed during those years buoyed her – including with her bandmates Tobi Vail, Kathi Wilcox, and Billy Karren; her friendship with Kurt Cobain; and her introduction to Joan Jett – and they were a testament to how the true punk world nurtured and cared for its own.Hanna opens up about falling in love with Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys and her debilitating battle with Lyme disease, and she brings us behind the scenes of her later bands, Le Tigre and The Julie Ruin. She also writes candidly about the Riot Grrrl movement and its decline, documenting with love its grassroots origins but critiquing its later exclusivity.In an uncut voice all her own, Hanna reveals the darkest, hardest times along with the most joyful – and how it all fuelled her revolutionary art, from the 1980s to today.

**PAPERBACK FEATURES NEW CONTENT. NOW WITH AFTERWORD AND READING GROUP QUESTIONS**''A compelling and courageous memoir forcing the legal profession to confront uncomfortable truths about race and class. Alexandra Wilson is a bold and vital voice. This is a book that urgently needs to be read by everyone inside, and outside, the justice system.'' THE SECRET BARRISTER ''A riveting book in the best tradition of courtroom dramas but from the fresh perspective of a young female mixed-race barrister. That Alexandra is "often" mistaken for the defendant shows how important her presence at the bar really is.'' MATT RUDD, THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINEAlexandra Wilson was a teenager when her dear family friend Ayo was stabbed on his way home from football. Ayo''s death changed Alexandra. She felt compelled to enter the legal profession in search of answers. As a junior criminal and family law barrister, Alexandra finds herself navigating a world and a set of rules designed by a privileged few. A world in which fellow barristers sigh with relief when a racist judge retires: ''I''ve got a black kid today and he would have had no hope''. In her debut book, In Black and White, Alexandra re-creates the tense courtroom scenes, the heart-breaking meetings with teenage clients, and the moments of frustration and triumph that make up a young barrister''s life. Alexandra shows us how it feels to defend someone who hates the colour of your skin, or someone you suspect is guilty. We see what it is like for children coerced into county line drug deals and the damage that can be caused when we criminalise teenagers. Alexandra''s account of what she has witnessed as a young mixed-race barrister is in equal parts shocking, compelling, confounding and powerful. ''An inspirational, clear-eyed account of life as a junior barrister is made all the more exceptional by the determination, passion, humanity and drive of the author. Anyone interested in seeing how the law really works should read it.'' SARAH LANGFORD''This is the story of a young woman who overcame all the obstacles a very old profession could throw at her, and she survived, with her integrity intact.'' BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH''Wilson offers a role model for those who still think the law is for other people, and shows the way for English courts to become ever less Dickensian.''DAVID COWAN, TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

Ako kvapky vody sú poviedky, z ktorých pozostáva Portrét Alexandra. Každá zrkadlí vlastný príbeh, ale spolu vytvárajú prúd spoločného plynutia času od konca devätnásteho storočia až po súčasnosť. Čas vo vnútri jednotlivých textov sa neraz skrúti do protipohybu, vráti na scénu vedľajšiu postavu alebo inak zmieša prítomnosť s minulosťou — barónsku nadradenosť s tajomstvom falzifikátu, víťaza prvých motocyklových pretekov s jeho poslednou milenkou, podvedeného emigranta s budúcim premiérom či amputovanú nohu s Van Goghovým odrezaným uchom.To hlavné je však rozprávanie o ubiehaní Alexandrovho života, ktorý koreňmi čiastočne siaha do vymretého aristokratického rodu, on sám je však priemerný človek dneška, ktorý nič významné nedosiahol, hoci sa o to pokúšal. Aj preto nostalgická konfrontácia toho akí sme boli, o čom sme snívali, s tým, čo sme urobili a kam sme dospeli, je v knihe neustále prítomná.Portrét Alexandra je fragmentárny neromán o pominuteľnosti a o náhodách, ktoré sa stávajú osudom. Je mozaikou skomponovanou z rozhodujúcich okamihov Alexandrovho života, ktorým často nerozumel, keď sa mu diali, z jeho najintímnejších spomienok, ale aj z toho, čo sám nezažil, z paralelných príbehov ľudí, ktorí mu skrížili cestu. Všetky postavy v knihe vlastne tvoria Portrét Alexandra. „Tých na druhom brehu rovnako pri sebe cítim ako tých, ktorých vidím očami,“ hovorí príznačne jeden z Alexandrových predkov, potulný maliar Benický.

Všichni chtějí, abyste byli hodní, ochotní, spolehliví. Vyhovující. Nápomocní. Ticho trpící. Tak dlouho, až z toho jednoho dne prasknete. Alexandra Reinwarth to udělala jinak – řekla „ne“, když to bylo třeba, a přestala se bát, co si o ní kdo pomyslí. V knize Všichni mi můžete… Hlavně, že mně je skvěle otevřeně mluví o situacích, kdy bychom si zasloužili medaili jen za to, že jsme se nerozbrečeli. A místo další rady, jak to „vydržet“, nabízí nový přístup: vykašlat se na to . S nadhledem, humorem a chutí do života. Konečně zjistíte, co všechno si můžete s klidným srdcem pustit k vodě – od nepohodlných džín až po lidi, kteří Vám neustále kradou energii. Nečekejte ezoteriku, ani další motivační výkřiky o tom, jak „být lepší verzí sebe sama“. Tohle je drsná, lidská a k smíchu i pláči upřímná knížka o tom, že občas stačí přestat – a dýchá se líp. Pro koho je kniha určena Pro všechny, kteří mají pocit, že neustále žijí pro druhé. Kteří už nechtějí omlouvat svůj čas, svoje rozhodnutí a svoje nálady. Pro ty, kteří si chtějí dovolit žít podle sebe – a nebát se přitom být upřímní. Proč si tuto knihu přečíst Protože už možná nechcete být tou, která „všechno zvládne“, nebo tím, kdo „to přece nějak udělá“. Protože možná potřebujete slyšet, že i když na všechno kašlete, může Vám být skvěle. A to je naprosto v pořádku. Co ti kniha přinese Uleví se Vám. Opravdu. Naučíte se říkat „ne“ – laskavě, ale jasně. Přestanete si vyčítat, že neplníte cizí očekávání. A konečně si dovolíte cítit se dobře – bez výčitek . Doporučení nakladatele Tahle kniha nás zasáhla přímo – do nervů, do bránice, do srdce.

Všichni chtějí, abyste byli hodní, ochotní, spolehliví. Vyhovující. Nápomocní. Ticho trpící. Tak dlouho, až z toho jednoho dne prasknete. Alexandra Reinwarth to udělala jinak – řekla „ne“, když to bylo třeba, a přestala se bát, co si o ní kdo pomyslí. V knize Všichni mi můžete… Hlavně, že mně je skvěle otevřeně mluví o situacích, kdy bychom si zasloužili medaili jen za to, že jsme se nerozbrečeli. A místo další rady, jak to „vydržet“, nabízí nový přístup: vykašlat se na to . S nadhledem, humorem a chutí do života. Konečně zjistíte, co všechno si můžete s klidným srdcem pustit k vodě – od nepohodlných džín až po lidi, kteří Vám neustále kradou energii. Nečekejte ezoteriku, ani další motivační výkřiky o tom, jak „být lepší verzí sebe sama“. Tohle je drsná, lidská a k smíchu i pláči upřímná knížka o tom, že občas stačí přestat – a dýchá se líp. Pro koho je kniha určena Pro všechny, kteří mají pocit, že neustále žijí pro druhé. Kteří už nechtějí omlouvat svůj čas, svoje rozhodnutí a svoje nálady. Pro ty, kteří si chtějí dovolit žít podle sebe – a nebát se přitom být upřímní. Proč si tuto knihu přečíst Protože už možná nechcete být tou, která „všechno zvládne“, nebo tím, kdo „to přece nějak udělá“. Protože možná potřebujete slyšet, že i když na všechno kašlete, může Vám být skvěle. A to je naprosto v pořádku. Co ti kniha přinese Uleví se Vám. Opravdu. Naučíte se říkat „ne“ – laskavě, ale jasně. Přestanete si vyčítat, že neplníte cizí očekávání. A konečně si dovolíte cítit se dobře – bez výčitek . Doporučení nakladatele Tahle kniha nás zasáhla přímo – do nervů, do bránice, do srdce.

Virginia Woolfová patří k literárním ikonám dvacátého století: málokdo měl na vývoj moderní prózy větší vliv než ona. Proč tomu tak je, ukazuje výmluvně přední britská kulturní historička Alexandra Harrisová. Její nové biografii Virginie Woolfové se v anglofonních zemích dostalo nadšeného kritického přijetí i mimořádného čtenářského ohlasu, zejména díky autorčině schopnosti barvitě a srozumitelně vykreslit Woolfové život i dobu a skrze živý detail přiblížit její geniální literární dílo. Těm, kdož Woolfovou neznají, nabízí Alexandra Harrisová čtivý úvod do spisovatelčina díla, znalcům modernistické spisovatelky pak neotřelé a novátorské interpretace jejích velkých děl, založené na důkladné znalosti předmětu. Alexandra Harrisová (1981) vystudovala anglistiku na Oxfordu; v současnosti přednáší na University of Liverpool. Kritická biografie Virginie Woolfové je její druhou knihou; její literárněhistorický debut Romantic Moderns získal řadu ocenění, mj. prestižní cenu The Guardian First Book Award za rok 2010.

Kniha - autor Jonáš Jasen, 320 stran, slovensky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Ako kvapky vody sú poviedky, z ktorých pozostáva Portrét Alexandra. Každá zrkadlí vlastný príbeh, ale spolu vytvárajú prúd spoločného plynutia času od konca devätnásteho storočia až po súčasnosť. Čas vo vnútri jednotlivých textov sa neraz skrúti do protipohybu, vráti na scénu vedľajšiu postavu alebo inak zmieša prítomnosť s minulosťou — barónsku nadradenosť s tajomstvom falzifikátu, víťaza prvých motocyklových pretekov s jeho poslednou milenkou, podvedeného emigranta s budúcim premiérom či amputovanú nohu s Van Goghovým odrezaným uchom. To hlavné je však rozprávanie o ubiehaní Alexandrovho života, ktorý koreňmi čiastočne siaha do vymretého aristokratického rodu, on sám je však priemerný človek dneška, ktorý nič významné nedosiahol, hoci sa o to pokúšal. Aj preto nostalgická konfrontácia toho akí sme boli, o čom sme snívali, s tým, čo sme urobili a kam sme dospeli, je v knihe neustále...

Básnická sbírka Alexandry Brockové Číhat na mech je sebevědomým debutem. Promyšleně komponovaná kniha nenápadně vrací do současné české poezie vysoký básnický styl. Brocková ráda střídá pestré formální rejstříky: od vznešeného patosu k „mileniálsky“ potutelné větě. Nebojí se spájet vysoké s nízkým, jistou „učenost“ s rozpustilostí, pozorování nepostřehnutelných dějů a bytostí, rostlin, ptactva i živlů s precizní básnickou formou. Brocková mluví za věci i živé bytosti, nikdy není povýšená, vždy je účastná. Lidstvo vnímá jako jednoho z mnoha tvorů obývajících Zemi a s delikátní ironií glosuje jeho absurdní hemžení. Jako by v jejím pohledu současná civilizace byla přehlídkou zvolna se rozpadajících památek-ruin, o kterých autorka jako užaslý cestovatel podává zprávu. V poezii Alexandry Brockové je možné zakusit to, co Petr Král nazýval „rozdýcháním vjemu“ – schopnost rozehrát zjitřený počitek či stav, který se při čtení doslova rozklene před očima.

Traditionally ascribed to the early third-century BCE tragedian Lykophron, the Alexandra is a powerful Greek poem by an unknown author, probably written c. 190, when Rome had defeated Hannibal and the Carthaginians and was poised to humble the Seleukid king Antiochos III. The poem is an ingeniously constructed masterpiece, a generic mix with elements of tragedy, epic, and history.Priam''s beautiful daughter, the prophetic Kassandra, foresees her rape in Athena''s temple by the hateful Greek warrior Ajax after Troy''s fall, and warns of disastrous returns (nostoi) for all the Greek ''heroes''. But Troy will rise again as Rome, founded by Trojan refugees. Alexandra (another name for Kassandra), narrates these Mediterranean foundation myths, adopting a bitterly disillusioned female perspective, but culminating in prophecies of Roman rule over land and sea.

You can find the deep peace you''ve been longing for--and that God has promised.Because of spiritual brokenness, we humans run.

An inspirational collection of the world's most beautiful scenic runs, selected by the editors of cult independent running magazine Like the Wind. Trail running is as simple as it sounds: just put one foot in front of the other, somewhere unpaved and outdoors. The opportunities it presents are endless, with a wide variety of routes that stretch over mountains, forests and deserts, in hot climates and frigid ones, through some of the most wild and beautiful places on Earth. Targeted at both novice and experienced runners, this book presents the finest trail-running locations around the world. From the heights of the Alps to the snowy expanses of the Arctic to the jungles of Latin America and the outback Down Under, each destination is brought to life by a different trail runner, showcasing exactly what makes each location so spectacular, as well as providing practical information to keep you moving on the ground. Compiled by the editors of Like the Wind, the first independent running magazine, each run offers an unparalleled experience, while the foreword was written by renowned American ultramarathon runner Dean Karnazes.
