Don’t just see the sights—get to know the people. The people of this land of white summer nights and pristine lakes are famous for their sisu, a form of enterprising stoicism. They are survivors: if you were stranded on a desert island, your ideal companion would be a Finn. Before you knew it, the sauna would be ready, fishhooks positioned, a fire burning, and any edible berries picked and prepared for eating. Shaped by the harsh physical beauty around them, the Finns can be melancholy, yet have a great sense of humor. Their music is often in the minor key, but they love to dance, sing, and perform. They cherish their traditions, from name days to near-pagan rituals, yet they are great innovators.Culture Smart! Finland describes the historical, geographical, and cultural influences that have shaped the Finnish psyche, and guides you through the working and social lives of the Finns today, offering you a deeper, more rewarding experience of this beautiful land.Have a richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the local culture.

Now into its eighth edition and written by Philip Briggs, the world s leading author of African guidebooks, Bradt s Rwanda has been the go-to guide for visitors to the Land of a Thousand Hills for more than 20 years. Still the only standalone guide in English to this increasingly popular destination, it remains in a class of its own for in-depth information. With fresh research into developments across the country, Bradt s Rwanda includes expanded coverage of Gishwati-Mukura National Park, which opened to tourism in 2021, and up-to-date details of rapidly modernising Kigali, considered Africa s cleanest city. Rwanda continues to change and develop at an unprecedented pace - no country has a higher proportion of female parliamentarians - and there s hardly a more accessible part of Africa. It s no less intriguing for the convenience, however, and Rwanda s superlative natural attractions constantly improve, with growing animal populations, as in Akagera National Park, where Africa s Big Five (rhino, lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo) can be seen.This new edition also includes extensive maps and natural history information, while details of kayak and canoe excursions on Lake Kivu and the Mukungwa River complement advice about staying on tea plantations at Sorwathe or Gisovu. It contains everything you need to know about tracking mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park (workplace of primatologist Dian Fossey of Gorillas in the Mist fame) and chimpanzees in Nyungwe National Park (East Africa s largest surviving montane forest, harbouring numerous endemic birds and primates) and Gishwati-Mukura (which is also the only location for the rare golden monkey outside the Virunga mountains). Also covered are Nyanza, with its hilltop Rukari King s Palace Museum, and the Ethnographic Museum of Rwanda, the top cultural site in Butare (Huye). A chapter on nearby cities and national parks provides key necessary information to take an excursion into neighbouring DRC, including how to see lowland gorillas. As not only the most in-depth guide available in English, but also the guide with the longest history in the country itself, Bradt s Rwanda is the indispensable companion for visitors, including wildlife enthusiasts and Africa aficionados.

The renowned designer and style guru Ilse Crawford showcases her body of influential, holistic work for the first time, articulating her groundbreaking philosophies for design and living. Studioilse, the award-winning design studio founded by Ilse Crawford, bridges the worlds of interior design, architecture, and product design with the philosophy of putting the human being at the center. Fascinated by what drives us and makes us feel alive, Crawford says: When I look at making spaces, I don’t just look at the visual. I’m much more interested in the sensory thing, in thinking about it from the human context, the primal perspective, the thing that touches you. Featuring Studioilse’s work to date, from private residences to hotels, restaurants, and retail projects, this book illustrates the effectiveness of design grounded in human needs and desires. Layering materials and textures, combined with her understanding of human behavior, Crawford’s designs are sensual and accessible. A forerunner of the holistic design movement a decade ago, her humanistic approach has now become the norm. This volume illustrates why Crawford’s design philosophy is so seminal—her work has influenced not only a generation of Dutch and European designers, but also Americans due to her acclaimed Soho House New York. With new photography and essays by Crawford and design critic Edwin Heatcote, this inspirational volume is sure to be one of the most important design books of the year.

From the presenter of BBC Radio 4 s Take Four BooksYou scramble up over the dunes of an isolated beach. You climb to the summit of a lonely hill. You pick your way through the eerie hush of a forest. And then you find them. The traces of the past. Perhaps they are marked by a tiny symbol on your map, perhaps not. There are no plaques to explain their fading presence before you, nothing to account for what they once were ⠓ who made them, lived in them or abandoned them. Now they are merged with the landscape. They are being reclaimed by nature. They are wild history.In this book acclaimed author and presenter James Crawford introduces many such places all over the country, from the ruins of prehistoric forts and ancient, arcane burial sites, to abandoned bothies and boathouses, and the derelict traces of old, faded industry.Waterstones Scottish Book of the Month for April 2025Shortlisted for The Great Outdoors Reader AwardsLonglisted for the Highland Book Prize PRAISE FOR JAMES CRAWFORDThe Edge of the Plain: How Borders Make and Break Our World Crawford travels widely to make his points in a text reminiscent of those of Barry Lopez or Robert Macfarlane . . .

The second volume of Robert Crawford s magisterial biography of the revolutionary modernist, visionary poet and troubled man, drawing on extensive new sources.In this compelling and meticulous portrait of the twentieth century s most important poet, Robert Crawford completes the story he began in Young Eliot. Drawing on extensive new sources and letters, this is the first full-scale biography to make use of Eliot s most significant surviving correspondence, including the archive of letters (unsealed for the first time in 2020) detailing his decades-long love affair with Emily Hale.This long-awaited second volume, Eliot After The Waste Land , tells the story of the mature Eliot, his years as a world-renowned writer and intellectual, and his troubled interior life.From his time as an exhausted bank employee after the publication of The Waste Land, through the emotional turmoil of the 1920s and 1930s, and his years as a firewatcher in bombed wartime London, Crawford reveals the public and personal experiences that helped generate some of Eliot s masterpieces.He explores the poet s religious conversion, his editorship at Faber and Faber, his separation from Vivien Haigh-Wood and happy second marriage to Valerie Fletcher, and his great work Four Quartets.Robert Crawford presents this complex and remarkable man not as a literary monument but as a human being: as a husband, lover and widower, as a banker, editor, playwright and publisher, but most of all as an epoch-shaping poet struggling to make art among personal disasters.

SHORTLISTED FOR SCOTLAND S NATIONAL NON-FICTION BOOK AWARD 2023Today, there are more borders in the world than ever before in human history. In this book James Crawford argues that our enduring obsession with borders has brought us to a crisis point: that we are entering the endgame of a process that began thousands of years ago, when we first started dividing up the earth.Beginning with the earliest known marker which denoted the end of one land and the beginning of the next, Crawford follows the story of borders into our fragile and uncertain future - towards the virtual frontiers of the internet, and the shifting geography of a world beset by climate change. In the process, he travels to many borders old and new: from a melting border high in the glacial landscapes of the Austrian-Italian Alps to the only place on land where Europe and Africa meet; from the artist Banksy s Walled Off Hotel in the conflict-torn West Bank to the Sonoran Desert and the fault lines of the US/Mexico border.Combining history, travel and reportage, The Edge of the Plain explores how borders have grown and evolved to take control of our landscapes, our memories, our identities and our destinies. As nationalism, climate change, globalisation, technology and mass migration all collide with ever-hardening borders, something has to give. And Crawford asks, is it time to let go of the lines that divide us?

Everyone has biases, yet most people are unable to discuss them openly without feelings of shame, stigma and defensiveness. Although perceived as flaws or a question of one’s character, these biases should be viewed as socially constructed coping mechanisms shaped by trauma, stress and the need to survive. Only when redefined will we be able to have honest conversations about, and reductions in, bias, race and prejudice.Dana Crawford’s Crawford Bias Reduction Theory Training (CBRT) invites readers on a transformative journey to understand, research and reduce bias at the internal, relational and systemic levels. Her three-pronged approach starts with the awareness phase which focuses on self-reflection and group interaction through empathy, compassion and accountability. The investigation phase will help readers recognise and dissect bias within themselves, with others and in society.Lastly, the reduction phase further develops skills to confront and mitigate bias with exercises like role-play and real-play scenarios. With reflection prompts, personal stories, actionable advice and examples inspired by actual events, Healing Bias translates complex ideas into relatable, empowering solutions that can be used on your own or in group settings. This guide can be used with the Racial Awareness Conversations for Everyone (R.A. C. E.) card deck to enhance self-reflection and group discussion with questions based on the CBRT model.

International observers have lauded Rwanda as an example of an African country taking control of its own development trajectory, and as a market-friendly destination for investment. A key component of this narrative has been an ambitious programme of agricultural reform, involving private firms, NGOs, and international charities. The Rwandan government claims these reforms have been a resounding success, tripling crop yields and helping to combat hunger. Chris Huggins argues, however, that Rwandaâ ™s liberal, modernising image sits poorly with the regimeâ ™s continuing authoritarian tendencies. Featuring in-depth case studies of the effects of agricultural reform in three different regions, and drawing on hundreds of interviews, Huggins shows that the much-vaunted â ˜liberalizationâ ™ of agriculture has in fact depended on the coercion of Rwandan farmers, and in many cases has had a detrimental impact on their livelihoods.With the Kagame regime now coming under increasing international scrutiny, this work provides a timely look at the impact of â ˜market friendly authoritarianismâ ™ in contemporary Africa, making essential reading for students and scholars of development in the fields of sociology, anthropology, political science, and economics.

It wasn t me. I didn t do it. And I ll never do it again! says Brian Johnson of The Lives of Brian. That AC/DC s legendary front man got to do it all is one of the most cheering and entertaining stories in rock n roll history.The son of a British army sergeant-major and Italian mother, Brian grew up in Dunston, Tyne and Wear, as it emerged from the shadow of the Second World War. Then he saw Little Richard on the BBC and it changed the course of his life.The choirboy and cub scout was going to be singer.For over a decade he tried to make his mark with a succession of bands. He appeared on to Top of the Pops, toured Australia and yet the big time looked out of reach. Then he was invited to London for an audition for one of the world s biggest rock acts. AC/DC were a band in crisis following the tragic death of their lead singer, Bon Scott, but with Brian on board they would record their masterpiece: Back in Black. It became the biggest selling rock album of all time. The tour that followed played to packed out arenas. Quickly embraced by the band s fans, the new boy had earned his spurs. But there was to be a twist in the tale. In 2016, Brian was forced to quit the band after being diagnosed with hearing loss, only to make a triumphant return to the band he loved with the release of 2020 s smash hit album Power Up.It s been a rollercoaster of a life, throughout which Brian s kept his feet firmly on the ground, never losing touch with his roots.Warm, vivid, evocative, life-affirming and often laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian tells the story of one of our most well-loved performers in his own inimitable voice

Perennially on the outside, Brian has led a solitary life; he works at Camden Council, lunches every day at Il Castelletto café and then returns to his small flat on Kentish Town Road. It is an existence carefully crafted to avoid disturbance and yet Brian yearns for more. A visit one day to the BFI brings film into his life, and Brian introduces a new element to his routine: nightly visits to the cinema on London⠙s South Bank. Through the works of Yasujirō Ozu, Federico Fellini, Agnes Varda, Yilmaz Güney and others, Brian gains access to a rich cultural landscape outside his own experience, but also achieves his first real moments of belonging, accepted by a curious bunch of amateur film buffs, the small informal group of BFI regulars. A tender meditation on friendship and the importance of community, Brian is also a tangential work of film criticism, one that is not removed from its subject matter, but rather explores with great feeling how art gives meaning to and enriches our lives.

With the widest catchment area of any river in Britain, the Tay drains much of the lower Highlands of Scotland. A vast network of lochs and smaller bodies of water feed the rivers Isla, Garry, Tummel, Almond and Earn, which all in turn flow into this mighty river as it cuts its way through the landscape.Robin Crawford has a very personal connection to this river, and as he walks along its banks, from its source on Ben Lui until it spills into the North Sea at Dundee, we find paralells between his own experience and the broader history of the Tay.Reaching back to a prehistoric fish found near Balruddery in Perthshire, we follow its story through time to the present day, with detours to seek gold, clans, battles, forts, disasters, witches and whisky en route.In amongst this broader sweep of history is Robinâ ™s own story. As he walks, he reminisces and reflects on the small moments of a life on which events turn.

*With a foreword by former BBC Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond*The touching and ground-breaking story of the Queen s childhood as told by her nanny, revealing the royal family s life before The Crown.Now, more than ever, the Royal Family s private lives are no longer private. Marion Crawford, or Crawfie , as she was known to the Queen and Princess Margaret, became governess to the children of the Duke and Duchess of York in the early 1930s, little suspecting she was nurturing the future Queen. Beginning at their quiet family home in Piccadilly and ending with the birth of Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace in 1948, Crawfie tells how she brought the princesses up to exist in their royal world, whilst also exposing them to the reality of underground trains, buses and swimming lessons. First published in 1950, The Little Princesses created an instant furore: Crawfie was demonised by the press and the Queen Mother - who had been a great friend and who had, Crawfie maintained, given her permission to write the account - never spoke to her again.

It s time to rethink our attitudes to work.For too long we have convinced ourselves that the only jobs worth doing involve sitting at a desk. Generations of school-leavers head for university lacking the skills to fix or even understand the most basic technology. And yet many of us are not suited to office life, while skilled manual work provides one of the few and most rewarding paths to a secure living.Drawing on the work of our greatest thinkers, from Aristotle to Heidegger, from Karl Marx to Iris Murdoch, as well as on his own experiences as an electrician and motorcycle mechanic, Matthew Crawford s irreverent and inspiring manifesto will change the way you think about work forever.

How to Grow Perennial Vegetables gives comprehensive advice on all types of perennial vegetables, from ground-cover plants and coppiced trees to plants for bog gardens and edible woodland plants.Perennial vegetables are a joy to grow. Whereas traditional vegetable plots are largely made up of short-lived, annual vegetable plants, perennials are edible plants that live longer than three years. Grown as permaculture plants, they take up less of your time and effort than annual vegetables, and extend the harvesting season - avoiding the hungry gap between the end of the winter harvest and the start of the summer harvest of annual vegetables. Unlike annual vegetables, perennials cover and protect the soil all year round, which maintains the structure of the soil and helps everything growing in it. Humous levels build up, nutrients donâ ™t wash out of the soil, and mycorrhizal fungi, critical for storing carbon within the soil, are preserved. Perennial plants also contain higher levels of mineral nutrients than annuals because they have larger, permanent root systems, capable of using space more efficientlyWritten by gardening expert Martin Crawford, this book gives comprehensive advice on how to grow and care for both common perennial vegetables like rhubarb, Jerusalem artichokes, horseradish and asparagus and unusual edible plants such as skirret, red chicory, nodding onions, Babington s leek, scorzonera, sea kale, wild rocket, coppiced trees and aquatic plants.With plenty of cooking tips, colour photographs and illustrations throughout and an A-Z of over 100 perennial edibles, it is an inspiration for all gardeners.

Paper Jane reflects Austen⠙s heady reputation as a revered canonical author, even while her books are simultaneously enjoyed as chick lit. Jane Austen s growing fame is measured at fifty-year intervals: in 1825, 1875, 1925, 1975, and 2025.  In the semiquincentennial year of Jane Austen (1775⠓1817), she is arguably the best-known author in the English language after Shakespeare. However, this reputation was hard-won and was many years in the making. This book traces Jane Austen⠙s ascendence as a literary celebrity through print⠔from fine first editions to mass-market paperbacks, supplemented by manuscripts, movie posters, graphic novels, theater bills, play scripts, and paper currency. The temporal dimension makes this not only the story of Austen⠙s growing fame but also traces the changes in readers and reading culture over the last two centuries and a half. It demonstrates that cheap books are, in fact, the force that made ⠜Miss Austen⠝ canonical. Paper Jane accompanies an exhibition at The Grolier Club, drawing from private collections by Janine Barchas, Mary Crawford, and Sandra Clark.

Audiokniha: Na Helikonii, planetě obíhající kolem binárních sluncí, trvá Velký rok dva tisíce šest set let pozemského času: lidská civilizace se vzmáhá zjara, vzkvétá během období léta a téměř zaniká s nástupem zimy, jež přetrvává po mnoho lidských generací. Právě přichází jaro a Helikonie se pomalu probouzí z předlouhého sevření mrazu. Kmeny rovníkového kontinentu vycházejí z úkrytů, v nichž zdecimovány na minimum přečkaly nepříznivé klima a opětovně začínají soupeřit o nadvládu nad planetou s divokými tvory chladu – fagory. A v jedné z vesnic, Oldorandu, znovu objevují řemesla, obchod, zemědělství, mince i nové rozměry mezilidských vztahů… Román Helikonie – Jaro je úvodním svazkem skvělé Helikonské trilogie, monumentální ságy, která svým měřítkem přesahuje všechno, co jeden z největších mistrů imaginace a žánru science fiction kdy napsal. ŽIVOTNÍ DÍLO VELMISTRA SCIENCE FICTION! Strhující epos o planetě trpící střídáním smrtelně nebezpečných extrémů. Staletí trvající zima odsoudí celé civilizace k záhubě. Do jara se probouzí svět nezatížený minulostí, a přesto jej čeká stejný osud… Vhání čtenáře střemhlav k úžasu. Trilogie, která disponuje monumentální noblesou. — THE TIMES Fantazie Briana Aldisse nezná hranic a staví jeho trilogii o planetě Helikonii vysoko nad běžnou sci-fi. Ba daleko za hranice žánru! — DAILY MAIL Brian Wilson Aldiss se narodil v roce 1925 v anglickém Norfolku. Během své dlouhé a úspěšné spisovatelské kariéry publikoval oceňované science fiction (dvě ceny Hugo, cena Nebula a John W. Campbell Memorial Award); bestsellery populární literatury, experimentální literaturu a mnoho dalších kultovních a průkopnických děl, včetně toho nejznámějšího – trilogie Helikonie. Vždy vyzýval mysl čtenářů k zamyšlení, a tak nikoho nemůže překvapit ekologický přesah jeho děl a zamyšlení nad důsledky klimatické změny dlouho před tím, než se staly tyto úvahy součástí mainstreamu. Připravil mnoho úspěšných antologií a je i autorem velkolepých dějin science fiction Billion Year Spree, později přepracovaných jako Trillion Year Spree. Českým čtenářům je znám z románů Skleník, Nonstop, Pokolení starců či Temné světelné roky. Z mnoha jeho povídek je zřejmě nejznámější Superhračky vydrží celé léto, kterou pro film adaptoval Stanley Kubrick a po Kubrickově smrti ji produkoval a režíroval Steven Spielberg pod názvem A.I. – Umělá inteligence. Brian Wilson Aldiss zemřel v roce 2017 ve věku 92 let. Filip Jančík (* 1974) je český herec, dabér i dabingový režisér. V 18 letech hrál ve filmu Záhada hlavolamu a o rok později ve filmu Vekslák aneb staré zlaté časy. Pracuje pro dabingové studio S-Pro Alfa. Daboval například postavu Codyho v seriálu Krok za krokem, Randyho Dishera v seriálu Můj přítel Monk nebo hlas psa Ftefana v reklamě na limonádu Kofola.

Audiokniha: Můžeme napravit své chyby v jiné realitě? Jedinečný technothriller od mistra neotřelých zápletek a napínavých rozuzlení, vydávaného ve 46 zemích. Dylanu Moranovi se jedné deštivé noci zhroutil svět: jeho auto pohltila rozvodněná řeka a pod hladinou zůstala jeho milovaná žena. Od té doby se Dylan utápí v žalu, zároveň však zažívá děsivé vize: kamkoli jde, pronásleduje ho on sám. Připisuje to prožitému traumatu, pak se však setká s psycholožkou, která mu tvrdí, že Dylan už delší dobu podstupuje speciální léčbu. Ta je založena na myšlence, že každá volba, kterou v životě učiní, stvoří nekonečné množství paralelních světů. V některých je Dylan šťastný. V jiných se stane vrahem.

Brian Freeman vyrostl v oblasti California Bay Area v San Mateo (Kalifornie). Navštěvoval Carleton College v Minnesotě, kde v roce 1984 absolvoval. Freeman začal psát v mladém věku. Jeho učitel na střední škole, který si všiml jeho lásky k řemeslu, ho povzbudil, aby seděl v rohu a psal svůj příběh, místo aby se řídil učebním plánem. Ve 13 letech dokončil svůj první román. Také rád čte. Lásku k detektivkám pravděpodobně zdědil po své babičce, která měla ráda detektivky.

Poté se stal ředitelem marketingu a vztahů s veřejností v mezinárodní advokátní kanceláři Faegre Benson v Minneapolis.

Matematický kosmolog Brian Swimme se ve Skrytém srdci kosmu zamýšlí nad tím, jak dnešního člověka - a zvláště naše děti - vymanit z uvěznění, do nějž byli v moderní době uzavřeni úzce materialistickým pohledem na svět a konzumním způsobem života, a jak je otevřít novému kontaktu s vesmírem. Přesněji řečeno, jak nás znovu do vesmíru iniciovat. Taková iniciace není jen intelektuální záležitostí, nestačí pouze studovat vzrušující fakta a teorie nového kosmologického příběhu, ale je nezbytné tento nový příběh žít; což předpokládá proměnu navyklých vzorců našeho vnímání, hlubokou transformaci subjektivity. Brian Swimme v této souvislosti navrhuje různé způsoby, jak nové vědecké porozumění dynamickému evolučnímu vesmíru, které často vzdoruje naší přirozené intuici, integrovat do našeho vnímání a tělesného prožívání. Skryté srdce kosmu je velmi potřebný, hutný a přehledný úvod do nové kosmologie, která dramaticky transformuje naše porozumění vesmíru i porozumění povaze a osudu lidstva. Swimme zvláštním osvětlujícím způsobem zkoumá hluboká tajemství kosmu a má vzácný dar, jak integrovat vědu s vědomím posvátného. --- Steven Rockefeller, Middelbury College Brian Swimme, vynikající vědec, nám odhaluje v této knize zázrak a krásu a okouzlující vlastnosti světa kolem nás. Jen takový vesmír, vesmír odhalovaný takovým lyrickým jazykem, může naše duše zachránit, protože toto je prvotní odhalení samotného božství. --- Thomas Berry, autor The Dream of the Earth / Sen země Aniž by čtenáře zatěžoval technickými pojmy, Brian Swimme sděluje v této knize základní myšlenky moderní kosmologie a současně vyjadřuje vědomí naší sounáležitosti s kosmem. --- Fritjof Capra, autor Tao fyziky
