As Scarecrow Schofield watches his mission to eliminate a Siberian turn into a bloodbath, he realises he has been tricked -- and now become the prey rather than the predator. For a shadowy consortium of staggering power and wealth has included his name on a list of fifteen targets to be eliminated without fail by twelve noon that same day. Now every high-powered bounty hunter on the planet is on his trail, while he must simultaneously track down the perpetrators of a conspiracy about to reduce many of the major cities of the world to ashes. From Arctic Russia to the Afghan border, to France s Atlantic Coast, to a speed-of-light conflict over the Suez Canal, every form of ultra-tech weaponry comes into play in a spellbinding action drama unfolding within a mere twenty-four hours.

An eye-watering account of the president s abuse of the rules of golf Sunday TimesDonald Trump is now the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America. We re living in a Trump Presidency 2.0. What better to explain the madness of it all than one of his favourite sports?Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump is a fascinating on-the-ground and behind-the-scenes survey of Donald Trump s ethics deficit on and off the golf course. Renowned sports writer Rick Reilly transports readers onto the greens with President Trump, revealing the absurd ways in which he lies about his feats, and what they can tell us about the way he leads off the course in the most important job in the world.Reilly has been with Trump on the fairways, the greens and in the rough, he has seen how the President plays - and it s not pretty. Based on his personal experiences, and interviews with dozens of golf pros, amateurs, developers, partners, opponents, and even caddies who have first-hand involvement with Trump out on the course, Reilly takes a deep and often hilarious look at how Trump shamelessly cheats at golf, lies about it, sues over it, bullies with it, and profits from it.From Trump s ridiculous claim to have won eighteen club championships, to his devious cheating tricks, to his tainted reputation as a golf course tycoon, Commander in Cheat tells you everything you need to know about the man. Reilly pokes more holes in Trump s claims than there are sand traps on all his courses combined. It is by turns amusing and alarming New Yorker

A Theology of Matthew s Gospel develops the perspective that Matthew wrote his Gospel to identify, defend, and proclaim Jesus Immanuel, God with us, as the Davidic Messiah who fulfilled the OT expectations of humanity s redemption. Matthew s Gospel establishes Jesus s identity as the heir to the promises of Israel s throne through king David, and heir to the promises of blessing to all the nations through the patriarch Abraham (1:1). So, this first Gospel offers evangelistic hope in Jesus s message of the gospel to Jews, contending that they should turn to Jesus as their long-awaited Messiah (Matt 11:2-6). But, strikingly, Matthew s Gospel also offers evangelistic hope to Gentiles, emphasizing that salvation through Jesus Messiah is available to all the nations (28:19).The book emphasizes the three horizons that comprise Matthew s gospel: history, theology, and literature. The first horizon focuses on Jesus s historical ministry. Here Matthew provides for us a record of God s activities in history in the arrival of Jesus Messiah and the kingdom of heaven. The second horizon develops Matthew s theological perspective for his audience(s). Here we attempt to understand and isolate Matthew s unique theological perspective of God s activities in Jesus Messiah. This is a central focus, emphasizing Matthew s theological perspective of the Old Testament, Christology, the kingdom of heaven, discipleship, the Church/church, Israel (past, present, and future), the death and resurrection of Jesus, mission/commission, and eschatology/eternity. The third horizon emphasizes today s reader(s) engaging with Matthew s Gospel as literature. Here we attempt to capture the significance of the perspective of today s reader s understanding of Jesus Messiah s activities in history and Matthew s theological perspective for the contemporary church.In this book we view Matthew s perspective of God s activities in Jesus s unfolding earthly ministry. The alternating sections of narrative and discourse provide for his readers Jesus s example to follow and Jesus s words to obey. Therefore, Matthew s Gospel is at least in part a manual on discipleship to Jesus Messiah in the kingdom of heaven. In the six Narratives, Matthew reveals Jesus s true identity in his deeds, and introduces themes that will lead to instructions to Jesus s disciples in the Discourses. The six Narratives provide the example that Jesus s disciples are commanded to obey. In the five Discourses, Matthew records Jesus s instructions, commands, parables, directives and prophecies that will guide his followers in their discipleship to Jesus until the end of the age. Combined, the narratives of Jesus s life provide Jesus s example to follow, and the discourses give Jesus s instructions to obey, and are the basis of our ongoing transformation to become like Jesus.

The Gospel of Matthew, like the other Gospels, is a story. The narrative nature of Matthew s account of the life of Jesus unfolds as a plotted sequence of words and events, beginning with his birth and closing with his presence to the disciples as their risen Lord. The location of any single passage within the flow of the unfolding story is a major guide to understanding this Gospel. Matthew is best known for his account of the birth of Jesus (Matt 1â ”2); Peter s recognition of Jesus as the Son of Man, the Son of God (16:13â “20); and the final commission of all the disciples to preach the gospel to all nations (28:16â “28). But where do these famous passages appear in the story? What preceded them and what follows? The first Gospel famously highlights five major discourses, during which only Jesus speaks. How do they contribute to Matthew s story of the life of Jesus?The Shape of Matthew s Story focuses upon the temporal and geographical flow of the unfolding narrative, and the interacting roles of the protagonists within it. It traces an early Christian storyteller s single-minded presentation of God, Jesus Christ, the call to discipleship, and the Christian Church.Endorsements: Throughout his long and productive career, Fr. Francis Moloney has published many works of serious scholarship along with books that address the general public. His ability to speak clearly and intelligently on both levels, often at the same time, is truly remarkable. The Shape of Matthew s Story is a prime example of his making academic research available to the educated laity. â ”John P. Meier, University of Notre Dame In typical Moloney fashion, The Shape of Matthew s Story delivers an accessible, insightful, and lucid introduction to the first Gospel. Students and clergy alike will benefit from Moloney s careful attention to the narrative, historical, and theological concerns of the text. â ”Kelly Iverson, Baylor University Employing considerable skills as narrative critic, Francis Moloney offers a compelling account of Matthew s story of the Messiah, from birth to death and beyond. With Moloney as reliable guide, Matthew s complex yet profound narrative emerges from the page, inviting the reader into a community of disciples that is taught by Jesus. â ”Ian Boxall, University of OxfordFrancis J. Moloney, SDB, is a graduate of the Pontifical Biblical Institute and the University of Oxford. He was Dean of the School of Theology and Religious Studies and Professor of New Testament at the Catholic University of America (1999â “2005). Now in semi-retirement, he is a senior professorial fellow of Catholic Theological College, within the University of Divinity, Melbourne, Australia.â

The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.

So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . . and so much more.In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he s found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety.

A beautifully illustrated exploration of the artistic and personal connections between Matthew Wong (1984–2019) and Vincent van Gogh. Shortly before his early death, the Chinese-Canadian artist Matthew Wong (1984–2019) emerged as a phenomenon. He started drawing and painting in 2011, at the age of 27, and within the space of just a few years had developed a highly personal style, using intense colours to paint imaginative landscapes.Wong’s expressively lyrical works were inspired by both traditional Chinese painting and Western art. He was especially influenced by Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), not only in terms of his painting style and choice of motifs, but also in some aspects of his life. Both artists were self-taught, acquiring their drawing and painting skills without tuition, and both faced mental health issues.Wong saw his own life reflected in that of Van Gogh, and once said: ‘I see myself in him. The impossibility of belonging in this world.’ Published to accompany the exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, this book explores the artistic and personal connection between the two artists, bringing around 45 paintings and drawings by Wong into dialogue with a group of Van Gogh masterpieces. Kenny Schachter, who knew Matthew Wong, contributes a personal introduction, which is followed by essays exploring the artists’ biographical and artistic kinship.

The current publication by author Vojtěch Pokorný takes as its subject not only the history of the oldest Christian sacred building in the Prague neighbourhood of Dejvice, but equally the past of the locality itself, starting from its first known settlement in late Neolithic times up to the present. Using a wide range of literature and sources, the author presents a truthful account of the oft-mythicised tales of the earliest traces of human presence in Upper Šárka and the founding of the church consecrated to St. Matthew, and in chronological succession relates the events transpiring there across the following centuries. Research into archival materials and other sources provided the basis for an imposing text that casts light on a history now nearly forgotten. The author unfolds previously neglected topics and opens the curtain for new awareness of our ancestors against the large-scale history of the Czech lands. Though undoubtedly a scholarly text, the book is nonetheless conceived as readable even for the wider public. Among other findings, the reader learns of the origins and gradual expansion of the famous St. Matthew s Fair - until only the recent past, associated with St. Matthew s Church itself. No less intriguing themes addressed are the church s famous gingerbread Nativity scene, or the depictions of the church by various artists. The text was reviewed by four professional historians, each addressing the relevant epoch of scholarly expertise - prehistory, medieval times, the Baroque era, and modernity. The publication is illustrated with a wealth of archival and contemporary photographs, historic engravings and maps, all capturing and enlivening the sacred structure and site that is its central theme Kniha autora Vojtěcha Pokorného pojednává nejen o dějinách nejstarší křesťanské svatyně v pražských Dejvicích, ale i o minulosti lokality samotné, počínaje prvním osídlením v pozdní době kamenné až po současnost. Autor uvádí pomocí bohatého poznámkového aparátu na pravou míru mýty o nejstarších stopách lidské činnosti na Horní Šárce a o vzniku kostelíka sv. Matěje a navazuje v chronologickém sledu líčením zdejších událostí v následujících staletích.Výzkum dobových archiválií a dalších pramenů dal vzniknout monolitnímu textu, který osvětluje dnes již téměř zapomenutou historii. Autor předkládá doposud nezpracované téma a otevírá nová poznání o našich předcích na pozadí velkých dějin českých zemí.

A definitive biography, told with passion and punch #39; – Brian Jay Jones, author George Lucas: A Life and Jim Henson: The Biography. More than forty years after Bruce Lee’s sudden death at age 32, journalist and author Matthew Polly has written the definitive account of Lee’s life. It’s also one of the only accounts; incredibly, there has never been an authoritative biography of Lee. Following a decade of research that included conducting more than one hundred interviews with Lee’s family, friends, business associates and even the mistress in whose bed Lee died, Polly has constructed a complex, humane portrait of the icon. There are his early years as a child star in Hong Kong cinema; his actor father’s struggles with opium addiction and how that turned Bruce into a troublemaking teenager who was kicked out of high school and eventually sent to America to shape up; his beginnings as a martial arts teacher, eventually becoming personal instructor to movie stars like Steve McQueen; his struggles as an Asian-American actor in Hollywood and frustration seeing role after role he auditioned for go to white actors in eye makeup; his eventual triumph as a leading man; his challenges juggling a sky-rocketing career with his duties as a father and husband; and his shocking end that to this day is still shrouded in mystery.Polly breaks down the myth of Bruce Lee and argues that, contrary to popular belief, he was an ambitious actor who was obsessed with martial arts—not a great kung-fu master who just so happened to make a couple of movies. The book offers an honest look at an impressive yet flawed man whose personal story was even more entertaining and inspiring than any fictional role he played on-screen.Praise for Matthew Polly #39;Hypnotic...Tapped Out manages to humanize a sport once demonized as human cockfighting by deconstructing the stereotype of the martial-arts tough guy. #39; – New York Times #39;Tapped Out is a knockout for MMA fans, who will laugh at the intimate portraits Polly sketches of some of the sport #39;s most famous personalities.

What is your name? asked General Mohammad. Matthew, I said. I had stopped saying Matt a while ago because it means dead in Arabic. On New Year s Eve in 2012, Matthew Schrier was headed home from Syria, where he d been photographing the intense combat of the country s civil war. Just 45 minutes from the safety of the Turkish border, he was taken prisoner by the al Nusra Front -- an organization the world would come to know as the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda. Over the next seven months he would endure torture and near starvation in six brutal terrorist prisons. He d face a daily struggle just to survive. And, eventually, he d escape. In this gripping, raw, and surprisingly funny memoir, Schrier details the horrifying and frequently surreal experience of being a slight, wisecracking Jewish guy held captive by the world s most violent Islamic extremists. Managing to keep his heritage a secret, Schrier used humor to develop relationships with his captors -- and to keep himself sane during the long months of captivity. The Dawn Prayer (Or How to Survive in a Secret Syrian Terrorist Prison): A Memoir is a tale of patriotism and unimaginable bleakness shot through with light ... of despair and friendship, sacrifice and betrayal, in a setting of bombed-out buildings and shifting alliances. It s the story of the first Westerner to escape al Qaeda -- not a battle-hardened soldier, but an ordinary New Yorker who figured out how to set his escape plan in motion from a scene in Jurassic Park. From the prisoners fiercely competitive hacky sack games and volleyball tournaments (played using a ball made of shredded orange peels and a shoelace) to his own truly nail-biting outbreak, Matthew Schrier s story is unforgettable -- and one you won t want to miss.

Matthew Dennison s elegant and magisterial biography of Her late Majesty, updated following the death of Elizabeth II and the accession of King Charles III. A worthy and balanced overview of the Queen s life. Dennison is especially good on her childhood... quietly, tactfully, tastefully reverent. The Times The death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022 was more than just a moment of profound sadness; her passing marked the end of an era in our national life – and the final closing of the Elizabethan Age. For millions of people, both in Britain and across the world, Elizabeth II was the embodiment of monarchy. Her long life spanned nearly a century of national and global history, from a time before the Great Depression to the era of Covid-19. Her reign embraced all but seven years of Britain s postwar history up to the accession of her son King Charles III; she was served by fifteen UK prime ministers from Churchill to Truss, and witnessed the administrations of fourteen US presidents from Truman to Biden. In this brand-new biography of the longest-reigning sovereign in British history, Matthew Dennison traces her life and reign across an era of unprecedented and often seismic social change. Stylish in its writing and nuanced in its judgements, The Queen charts the joys and triumphs as well as the disappointments and vicissitudes of a remarkable royal life; it also assesses the achievement of a woman regarded as the champion of a handful of British values endorsed – if no longer practised – by the bulk of the nation: service, duty, steadfastness, charity and stoicism.

Audiokniha: Spánok patrí k najdôležitejším, ale najmenej pochopeným aspektom nášho života, zdravia a dlhovekosti. Donedávna vedci nedokázali odpovedať na otázky prečo spíme, ako spánok pomáha nášmu telu a mozgu, prečo nás postihnú ničivé zdravotné následky, keď nespíme. Najmä v porovnaní s našimi ostatnými základnými životnými potrebami jesť, piť a rozmnožovať sa, sme účel spánku dlhé roky nedokázali pochopiť. Prudký príval vedeckých objavov za ostatné dve desaťročia však do tejto oblasti vniesol nové svetlo. Teraz nám vynikajúci neurovedec a odborník na spánok Matthew Walker umožňuje porozumieť životnej dôležitosti spánku a snívania. Okrem mnohých iných funkcií, spánok posilňuje našu schopnosť učiť sa, zapamätávať si a robiť logické rozhodnutia. Usmerňuje naše emócie, dopĺňa imunitný systém, dolaďuje metabolizmus a reguluje náš apetít. Snívanie upokojuje bolestné spomienky a vytvára priestor virtuálnej reality, v ktorom mozog spája minulé poznanie so súčasným a podnecuje kreativitu. Walker odpovedá na dôležité otázky o spánku: Ako vplýva na spánok kofeín a alkohol? Čo sa skutočne deje počas REM spánku? Prečo sa náš spánok v priebehu života mení? Ako na nás vplývajú bežné lieky na spanie, môžu spôsobiť dlhodobé poškodenie? Vďaka zmapovaniu najnovších prelomových vedeckých objavov a zhrnutiu dekád výskumov a klinickej praxe Walker vysvetľuje, ako nám môže spánok pomôcť s učením, ako nám môže zlepšiť náladu a úroveň energie, regulovať hormóny, preventívne pôsobiť proti rakovine, Alzheimerovej chorobe a cukrovke, ako môže spomaliť prejavy starnutia, zvýšiť dlhovekosť, zlepšiť vzdelávanie a predĺžiť dĺžku života našich detí a podporiť našu efektivitu, úspešnosť a produktivitu. Prenikavá, fascinujúca, vyčerpávajúca a zrozumiteľná kniha Prečo spíme čitateľom úplne zmení chápanie a oceňovanie spánku a snov. Matthew Walker, PhD. je profesorom neurovied a psychológie na Kalifornskej univerzite v Berkeley, riaditeľom univerzitného Laboratória spánku a neurozobrazovania a bývalým profesorom psychiatrie na Harvardovej univerzite. Publikoval viac než sto vedeckých štúdií a vystúpil v televíznych reláciách 60 minutes, Nova, BBC News a v rozhlasovej relácii Science Friday stanice National Public Radio. Dielo Prečo spíme je jeho prvou knihou. Objasňuje, ako si môžeme podmaniť pretvárajúcu silu spánku a zmeniť tak svoj život k lepšiemu.

Audiokniha: Kolik hodin jste dnes v noci spali? Pokud méně než osm, pak asi stejně jako většina lidstva trpíte spánkovou deprivací. A přicházíte o to nejlepší.

Příčinu své únavy a zdravotních potíží hledejte v nedostatku kvalitního spánku a pak teprve jinde. Audiokniha předního světového neurovědce Matthewa Walkera odkrývá nejnovější poznatky z výzkumu spánku a ukazuje, že evoluce nás touto bezbrannou a neproduktivní fází denního rytmu nevybavila náhodou. Díky převratnému rozvoji a dostupnosti zobrazovacích metod dokáže věda poprvé v historii zodpovědět, proč vůbec spíme, jak spánek prospívá našemu tělu a mozku a proč má neřešená dlouhodobá spánková deprivace tak ničivé následky pro naše zdraví. Walker fascinujícím způsobem objasňuje vliv spánku na logické rozhodování, učení a paměť, na seřizování našich emocí a imunitní systém, ale i metabolismus a chuť k jídlu. A přesvědčivě dokládá, že chronický nedostatek kvalitního spánku nás může nejen mnoha různými způsoby zabít, ale také ovlivnit rozhodování a chování celé společnosti.

Spánek významně snižuje riziko srdečního infarktu a mrtvice, chrání před rakovinou, Alzheimerovou chorobou a diabetem typu II Co nového víme o NREM a REM fázích spánku a jaký mají vliv na odvádění toxických metabolitů z mozku Jak sny zmírňují traumata i bolestivé vzpomínky a podněcují kreativitu. Kdy nejpozději požívat kofein, proč se držet dál od prášků na spaní a kdy si pomoci tabletou melatoninu Jak se mění vzory spánku v průběhu života a proč nechat teenagery ráno dospat. O alarmujícím poklesu imunity po probdělé noci. Stačí spát méně než pět hodin a riziko, že způsobíte za volantem vážnou nehodu vzroste 10x. O kolik procent stoupne počet infarktů myokardu den po přechodu na letní čas. A hlavně, jak se znovu naučit dobře usínat a zdravě spát. Řekli o knize „Důkazy, které Walker předkládá, jsou víc než dostačující k tomu, abyste šli spát. Nejde o otázku volby, ale přežití. Čím kratší dobu spíte, tím kratší dobu žijete.“ — The Guardian „Tohle není kniha, ale manuál k utajené superschopnosti nás všech: kvalitnímu spánku, který léčí, regeneruje a udržuje naše tělo i mozek v perfektní kondici. Jedna z nejdůležitějších knih o zdraví vůbec.“ — Robert Vlach, autor bestselleru Na volné noze „Když vám podstatu spánku vysvětlí ředitel spánkové a neurozobrazovací laboratoře, tak vám pochopení PROČ pomůže i s JAK.“ — People „Neurolog objevil revoluční metodu, jak být chytřejší, atraktivnější, štíhlejší, šťastnější, zdravější a jak nedostat rakovinu – kvalitní noční spánek. Asi je předčasné říkat, že mi Proč spíme zachránilo život, ale už teď můžu říct, že se stalo hlasitým budíčkem.“ — The Guardian „Důležitá a podnětná kniha, kterou byste měli číst s vědomím, že autor, jak sám říká, miluje spánek a všechny, kteří spí. Ale prosím, nezačínejte ji číst před spaním.“ — Financial Times „Většina z nás netuší, co se děje v třetině života věnované spánku. Matthew Walker srozumitelně a poutavě odhaluje všechna tajemství, která spánek provázela po věky. Číst Proč spíme je potěšením, které vás donutí pokračovat navzdory večerce. — Daniel Gilbert, profesor psychologie na Harvardu a autor knih Matthew Walker (1973) působí jako profesor neurovědy a psychologie na Kalifornské univerzitě v Berkeley, kde také založil Centrum pro výzkum lidského spánku.

Kto z nás by nechcel stretnúť toho pravého partnera a žiť s ním šťastne, až kým nepomrie? Napriek tomu často robíme rozhodnutia, ktoré nás od našej ideálnej lásky skôr vzďaľujú a vedú do slepých uličiek, v ktorých sa nechcene ocitáme znova a znova. Matthew Hussey, asi najznámejší vzťahový kouč súčasnosti, vám ukáže, že už tápať nemusíte.

Kľúčové slová sú láska k sebe, ochota zmeniť sa, základná životná spokojnosť, pevné štandardy, nekompromisnosť vo výbere partnera a úprimnosť. V tejto knihe plytké myšlienky rozhodne nenájdete. Ak ste pripravení rozlúsknuť svoje neprospešné vzťahové vzorce a začať vyžarovať šťastie, Matthew vám ukáže, ako na to úspešne a efektívne.

A fascinating guide to decoding the secret language of the churches of England through the medieval carved markings and personal etchings found on our church walls from archaeologist Matthew Champion. Rare, lovely glimmers of everyday life in the Middle Ages. -- The Sunday Times A fascinating and enjoyable read -- ***** Reader review Superb -- ***** Reader review Riveting -- ***** Reader review Compelling, moving and fascinating -- ***** Reader review*****************************************************************************************************Our churches are full of hidden messages from years gone by and for centuries these carved writings and artworks have lain largely unnoticed.Having launched a nationwide survey to gather the best examples, archaeologist Matthew Champion shines a spotlight on a forgotten world of ships, prayers for good fortune, satirical cartoons, charms, curses, windmills, word puzzles, architectural plans and heraldic designs.Here are strange medieval beasts, knights battling unseen dragons, ships sailing across lime-washed oceans and demons who stalk the walls. Latin prayers for the dead jostle with medieval curses, builders accounts and slanderous comments concerning a long-dead archdeacon.Strange and complex geometric designs, created to ward off the evil eye and thwart the works of the devil, share church pillars with the heraldic shields of England s medieval nobility.Giving a voice to the secret graffiti artists of Medieval times, this engaging, enthralling and - at times - eye-opening book, with a glossary of key terms and a county-by-county directory of key churches, will put this often overlooked period in a whole new light.
