Sand Talk - Tyson Yunkaporta

A paradigm-shifting book in the vein of Sapiens that brings a crucial Indigenous perspective to historical and cultural issues of history, education, money, power, and sustainability—and offers a new template for living.As an indigenous person, Tyson Yunkaporta looks at global systems from a unique perspective, one tied to the natural and spiritual world. In considering how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation, he raises important questions. How does this affect us? How can we do things differently?In this thoughtful, culturally rich, mind-expanding book, he provides answers. Yunkaporta’s writing process begins with images. Honoring indigenous traditions, he makes carvings of what he wants to say, channeling his thoughts through symbols and diagrams rather than words. He yarns with people, looking for ways to connect images and stories with place and relationship to create a coherent world view, and he uses sand talk, the Aboriginal custom of drawing images on the ground to convey knowledge. In Sand Talk, he provides a new model for our everyday lives. Rich in ideas and inspiration, it explains how lines and symbols and shapes can help us make sense of the world. It’s about how we learn and how we remember. It’s about talking ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Starry Messenger - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Bringing his cosmic perspective to civilization on Earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson, bestselling author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, shines new light on the crucial fault lines of our time-war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, race, and tribalism-in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for us all.In a time when our political and cultural perspectives feel more divisive than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin engines of enlightenment-a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science.After thinking deeply about how a scientist views the world and about what Earth looks like from space, Tyson has found that terrestrial thoughts change as our brain resets and recalibrates life's priorities, along with the actions we might take in response. As a result, no outlook on culture, society, or civilisation remains untouched.In Starry Messenger, Tyson reveals just how human the enterprise of science is. Far from a cold, unfeeling undertaking, scientific methods, tools, and discoveries have shaped modern civilisation and created the landscape we've built for ourselves on which to live, work, and play.

„MEMOÁRY BEZ RUKAVIC“ OD MIKEA TYSONA, BÝVALÉHO MISTRA SVĚTA TĚŽKÉ VÁHY - A LEGENDY V RINGU I MIMO NĚJ.Filozof, hvězda Broadwaye, boxer, zločinec – za tři desetiletí na očích veřejnosti se Mike Tyson vzepřel stereotypům, očekáváním a konvencím. Ze šikanovaného kluka z nejchudší čtvrti Brooklynu se stal Tyson jedním z nejatraktivnějších a nejzuřivějších boxerů historie - a také nejmladším mistrem světa těžké váhy všech dob. Ale jeho záře v ringu byla častokrát ohrožena bezohledným chováním. Léta bujarých večírků, násilnických soubojů a trestních řízení si vybraly svou daň: v roce 2003 spadl Tyson na úplné dno, odsouzený zločinec, zbankrotovaný, pointa tisíců špatných vtipů v televizních show. Ale vybojoval si cestu zpátky; jako člověk, který tvrdil, že byl závislým „na všem“, si opět vydobyl úspěch, svou důstojnost a lásku své rodiny: svou triumfální one-man show, nezapomenutelným výkonem ve filmu Pařba ve Vegas, svým nově nalezeným štěstím a vyrovnaností v roli otce a manžela. Tysonův příběh je fascinujícím americkým originálem. Tyson zaznamenává své bouřlivé stavy nahoře a dole brutálně upřímně, syrově a častokrát vesele, ale taky stejně upřímným a přímočarým způsobem, jaký jsme od něj jako od legendárného sportovce očekávali.

Keď som začal písať túto knihu, vážil som 178 kíl a zápasil s hlbokou depresiou. V tom čase som vo svojom živote videl a cítil len bolesť. Opasky, sláva majstra sveta v ťažkej váhe – naplnenie celoživotného sna v roku 2015 – mi priniesli len chladný, prázdny pocit, ktorý ma neopúšťal. Ten ma nakoniec priviedol k pokusu vziať si vlastný život. Ale o dva roky neskôr ma už mnohí považovali za muža číslo jeden v ťažkej váhe. Po návrate z priepasti som bol v silnejšej forme než kedykoľvek predtým a šťastnejší než kedykoľvek predtým, s úžasnou chuťou žiť, aj keď si neustále uvedomujem, že moje problémy s duševným zdravím nikdy úplne nezmiznú.

Jeden príklad za všetky – potenciálne kozmické bytosti by vzhľadom na pomer veľkosti mozgu a tela kontaktovali v prvom rade mravce, nie nás.Hviezdny posolnám jasným a zrozumiteľným štýlom vkladá do rúk vedeckú paletu, vďaka ktorej svet zažiari v nových farbách.

Železné ambice - Co jsem se naučil od muže, který ze mě udělal šampiona - Mike Tyson

Bývalý mistr světa v těžké váze a autor životopisných bestsellerů přinášejí detailní pohled na život a lekce Cuse D’Amata, legendárního boxerského trenéra a náhradního otce Mika Tysona.Když Cus D’Amato poprvé viděl třináctiletého Mika Tysona spárovat v ringu, prohlásil, „Tohle je mistr světa v těžké váze.“ D’Amato, jenž předtím řídil kariéry mistrů světa Floyda Pattersona a Josého Torrese, trénoval mladého boxera několik let; zemřel několik měsíců předtím, než se Tyson stal nejmladším mistrem světa v těžké váze v historii.D’Amato hrál velkou roli v Tysonových formativních letech. Zákonně ho adoptoval jako šestnáctiletého, když zemřela jeho matka, a po letech života v chudobě ho psychicky i fyzicky formoval. V knize Železné ambice Tyson popisuje životní lekce, které mu D’Amato uděloval, a přemítá, jak v něm trenérova moudrá slova stále rezonují i mimo ring. Kniha také popisuje Cusův odvážný boj proti mafiánům, kteří ovládali box, a odhaluje nám o této jedinečné osobnosti víc, než jsme dosud věděli.

When Steam Ruled the Roads - Colin Tyson

The period between the late 1800s and the late 1920s was the heyday of the road steam traction engine. Prior to that, ‘portable’ steam engines were pulled by horses from farm to farm to provide the power unit for belting to machinery for tasks such as the annual threshing. The invention of the self-moving traction engine brought many advances, always staying one jump ahead of amendments to the Locomotive Acts. Fairground operators hauled their huge road train of rides to the next fair; ploughing engines and threshing engines travelled from farm to farm; road hauliers carried huge loads; and steam rollers laid and mended the roads. The availability of cheap surplus First World War petrol vehicles saw road hauliers and fairground showmen dispense with the ‘hassle’ of operating steam vehicles, yet there were still manufacturers making steam wagons until the late 1930s and several councils carried on operating true steam rollers right into the 1960s.Colin Tyson presents a vibrant selection of images celebrating traction engines in all their many and varied forms when ‘steam ruled the roads’.

Aveling & Porter - Colin Tyson

An eminent early preservationist, John Crawley was able to amass an enviable photographic archive of steam traction engines and road rollers in their working days, of which this Aveling & Porter selection formed just a part. Organiser of over eighty steam rallies, John saved up to thirty steam traction engines for preservation from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s, at a time when they were considered not much more than worthless scrap. Indeed, he became the first owner of no fewer than twenty-two of them.Utilising this incredible and unique collection of images, most of which are previously unpublished, Colin Tyson tells the story of this important manufacturer and iconic British brand.

The Self-Talk Workout - Rachel Turow

Self-talk matters, but what methods of building healthy self-talk actually work? This how-to guide shares evidence-based techniques to go from being your own worst critic to your own best friend. Perhaps you want to be nicer to yourself but don’t really know how to get there. Or maybe you’re someone who assumes self-criticism is a permanent part of your personality. Rest assured you’re not alone—millions of people struggle with the toll that excessive self-criticism takes on their minds, energy levels, jobs, and relationships. And problems with self-talk vary dramatically from one person to the next: they can appear as mild but persistent inner criticism, full-blown self-loathing, or the pain of internalized oppression or abuse. After over twenty years of working with individuals, groups, and classes on self-criticism and related challenges, psychologist and mindfulness teacher Dr. Rachel Goldsmith Turow offers the “self-talk workout”—six doable exercises that can help you replace self-criticism with self-kindness and self-encouragement. Specific self-talk strategies such as “Spot the success,” “Fail forward,” and “Allowing all feelings, skillfully,” require just a few minutes a day. These skills can be practiced individually to transform your self-talk, or you can choose to combine two or more exercises to enhance your self-talk ... Unknown localization key: "more"

American Corruption Talk - Robert G. Boatright, Molly Brigid McGrath

Americans often worry about political corruption-not only about specific officials misusing their powers, but also more broadly about political, cultural, moral decay or deterioration. Underneath our talk about corruption lie deeper claims and concerns about how we organize our common life. American Corruption Talk presents a study of corruption and corruption talk that seeks to understand those deeper claims and concerns. Robert Boatright and Molly Brigid McGrath focus on the role corruption talk plays in American political discourse. They distinguish between two ways people speak about corruption-corruption talk in the style of a purifier, who wishes to expunge the evil forces or drain the swamp, and corruption talk in the style of the mender, who thinks of managing, replacing, or repairing. Â American Corruption Talk begins by tracing how the concept of political corruption was developed by philosophers and political thinkers, leading up to its use in the American context, especially in the Progressive Era. It also compares modes of contemporary corruption talk in different areas of public life. In doing so, the authors hope to resolve confusion and partisan disagreements about what corruption is and to discourage the tendency to label actions, events, and ideas that we merely disagree ...

What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat - Aubrey Gordon

From the creator of Your Fat Friend and co-host of the Maintenance Phase podcast, an explosive indictment of the systemic and cultural bias facing plus-size people.Anti-fatness is everywhere. In What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat, Aubrey Gordon unearths the cultural attitudes and social systems that have led to people being denied basic needs because they are fat and calls for social justice movements to be inclusive of plus-sized people’s experiences. Unlike the recent wave of memoirs and quasi self-help books that encourage readers to love and accept themselves, Gordon pushes the discussion further towards authentic fat activism, which includes ending legal weight discrimination, giving equal access to health care for large people, increased access to public spaces, and ending anti-fat violence. As she argues, “I did not come to body positivity for self-esteem. I came to it for social justice.”By sharing her experiences as well as those of others—from smaller fat to very fat people—she concludes that to be fat in our society is to be seen as an undeniable failure, unlovable, unforgivable, and morally condemnable. Fatness is an open invitation for others to express disgust, fear, and insidious concern. To be fat is to be ... Unknown localization key: "more"
