John Morton (c. 1420–1500) was one of the most important men in the land from the Wars of the Roses to the start of the Tudor dynasty. Yet he has been largely ignored in recent times.He was a man of great character and influence over politics and the Church. He lived into his eighties, having served three kings as a councillor, Master of the Rolls, Lord Chancellor, bishop, Archbishop of Canterbury and Cardinal. He was a key figure in the early Tudor state. He had escaped from the Tower of London, lived in exile twice, and was a major adversary of Richard III. He funded the building of Hatfield Palace, the first drainage of the fens, and the central tower of Canterbury Cathedral. The Morton Missal contained the first printed music in England.As S. B. Chrimes observed, ‘Although there can be little doubt that Morton was the key figure in Henry VII’s government, nothing approaching an adequate study of his life and role has yet been published.’ In fact, no detailed biography of Morton has been produced since Victorian times.This book follows John Morton’s career through the reigns of Henry VI and Edward IV, and his central role in opposition ...

Jak mluvit o klimatické krizi s těmi, kdo se o ekologii nezajímají? Timothy Morton místo hory dat a sloganů nabízí filozofickou cestu na hranice lidského a nelidského světa. A během ní máme šanci nejen zachránit planetu, ale taky objevit vlastní spřízněnost s přírodou okolo. Timothy Morton je britský*á filozof*ka, jehož*jíž práce stojí na pomezí současné postantropocentrické filozofie a environmentálních studií. Patří ke klíčovým postavám takzvané objektově orientované ontologie, která mimo jiné boří tradiční hranice mezi lidským a nelidským světem i hierarchie bytí. Jako profesor*ka dlouhodobě působí na Rice University v Texasu a kromě ekologie nebo filozofie píše o umění, populární kultuře a literatuře. Vydal*a přes 18 knih, z nichž vzešla řada vlivných konceptů - kromě hyperobjektů, které Morton řeší v této knize, třeba temná ekologie. Jeho*jí práce meandruje mezi akademickou filozofií a populární esejistikou, spolupracoval*a s Björk, Pharrellem Williamsem nebo Olafurem Eliassonem.

''To read Being Ecological is to be caught up in a brilliant display of intellectual pyrotechnics'' P.D.Smith, GuardianWhy is everything we think we know about ecology wrong?Is there really any difference between ''humans'' and ''nature''?Does this mean we even have a future?Don''t care about ecology? This book is for you. Timothy Morton, who has been called ''Our most popular guide to the new epoch'' (Guardian), sets out to show us that whether we know it or not, we already have the capacity and the will to change the way we understand the place of humans in the world, and our very understanding of the term ''ecology''. A cross-disciplinarian who has collaborated with everyone from Björk to Hans Ulrich Obrist, Morton is also a member of the object-oriented philosophy movement, a group of forward-looking thinkers who are grappling with modern-day notions of subjectivity and objectivity, while also offering fascinating new understandings of Heidegger and Kant. Calling the volume a book containing ''no ecological facts'', Morton confronts the ''information dump'' fatigue of the digital age, and offers an invigorated approach to creating a liveable future.

''An old teapot, used daily, can tell me more of my past than anything I recorded of it.'' Sylvia Townsend WarnerThere are many ways of telling the story of a life and how we''ve got to where we are. The questions of why and how we think the way we do continues to preoccupy philosophers. In The Stuff of Life, Timothy Morton chooses the objects that have shaped and punctuated their life to tell the story of who they are and why they might think the way they do. These objects are ''things'' in the richest sense. They are beings, non-human beings, that have a presence and a force of their own. From the looming expanse of Battersea Power Station to a packet of anti-depressants and a cowboy suit, Morton explores why ''stuff'' matters and the life of these things have so powerfully impinged upon their own. Their realization, through a concealer stick, that they identify as non-binary reveals the strange and wonderful ways that objects can form our worlds.Part memoir, part philosophical exploration of the meaning of a life lived alongside and through other things, Morton asks us to think about the stuff, things, objects and buildings that have ...

Audiokniha: Alžbeta z rodu Windsorovcov bola vždy mimoriadne plachá a snívala o pokojnom živote na vidieku, kde by si založila rodinu a starala sa o psy a kone. Osud to však zariadil inak. Následníčkou trónu sa stala po abdikácii svojho strýka kráľa Eduarda VIII. a po predčasnom skone svojho otca kráľa Juraja VI. Počas sedemdesiatich rokov svojho pôsobenia vo funkcii anglickej kráľovnej zažila nielen triumfy, ale čelila i nekonečnému radu prekážok a rodinných konfliktov. Bola vystavená náročným skúškam vytrvalosti a odvahy, no jej úsilie udržať monarchiu na poprednom mieste kultúrne, spoločensky a politicky bolo nezlomné. Neraz pritom narazila na odpor zvnútra samotnej inštitúcie aj zvnútra vlastnej rodiny, ktorá bola pod intenzívnym drobnohľadom médií. Prepieralo sa v nich všetko od údajnej nevery jej manžela, neúspešného manželstva jej sestry, tragickej smrti princeznej Diany až po nedávny odchod princa Harryho a Meghan z kráľovskej rodiny. Renomovaný životopisec Andrew Morton sa v tejto audioknihe podrobne venuje najdlhšie vládnucej britskej panovníčke a skúma vplyv, aký mala prakticky celú druhú polovicu minulého storočia na Britániu a na zvyšok sveta.

As humans continue to degrade and destroy our planet’s resources, leading to predictions of total ecological collapse, some (such as the entrepreneur Elon Musk) now suggest that a human colony elsewhere may be our species’ best hope for survival. Adam Morton examines extra-terrestrial colonization plans with a critical eye. He makes a strong case for colonization – just not by human beings. Humans live relatively short lives and, to survive, require large amounts of food and water, very specific climatic conditions and an oxygen-rich atmosphere. We can create colonists that have none of these shortcomings. Reflecting compassionately on the nature of existence, Morton argues that we should treat the end of the human race in the same way that we treat our own deaths: as something sad but ultimately inevitable. The earth will perish one day, and, in the end, we should be concerned more with securing the future of intelligent beings than with the preservation of our species, which represents but a nanosecond in the history of our solar system.

A Washington Post Best Nonfiction Book of the Year In the spirit of Fierce Attachments and The End of Your Life Book Club, acclaimed novelist Brian Morton delivers a “superb” (Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air), darkly funny memoir of his mother’s vibrant life and the many ways in which their tight, tumultuous relationship was refashioned in her twilight years.Tasha Morton is a force of nature: a brilliant educator who’s left her mark on generations of students—and also a whirlwind of a mother, intrusive, chaotic, oppressively devoted, and irrepressible. For decades, her son Brian has kept her at a self-protective distance, but when her health begins to fail, he knows it’s time to assume responsibility for her care. Even so, he’s not prepared for what awaits him, as her refusal to accept her own fragility leads to a series of epic outbursts and altercations that are sometimes frightening, sometimes wildly comic, and sometimes both. Clear-eyed, “deeply stirring” (Dani Shapiro, The New York Times Book Review), and brimming with dark humor, Tasha is both a vivid account of an unforgettable woman and a stark look at the impossible task of caring for an elderly parent in a country whose unofficial motto is “you’re ...

The Lonely Soldier--the inspiration for the documentary The Invisible War--vividly tells the stories of five women who fought in Iraq between 2003 and 2006--and of the challenges they faced while fighting a war painfully alone.More American women have fought and died in Iraq than in any war since World War Two, yet as soldiers they are still painfully alone. In Iraq, only one in ten troops is a woman, and she often serves in a unit with few other women or none at all. This isolation, along with the military''s deep-seated hostility toward women, causes problems that many female soldiers find as hard to cope with as war itself: degradation, sexual persecution by their comrades, and loneliness, instead of the camaraderie that every soldier depends on for comfort and survival. As one female soldier said, "I ended up waging my own war against an enemy dressed in the same uniform as mine."In The Lonely Soldier, Benedict tells the stories of five women who fought in Iraq between 2003 and 2006.

Nonetheless, he had an extraordinary war. As a driver for the Royal Army Service Corps, Timber''s job was to get ammunition and high explosives to the front line.

“The most complete biography of [Patton] yet produced.” –Chicago TribuneUtilizing untapped archival materials from the United States and England, Stanley P. Hirshson creates the most balanced portrait of Patton ever written. General Patton: A Soldier’s Life reveals Patton as a complex soldier capable of brilliant military maneuvers but also of inspiring horrendous acts with fiery speeches. It explains Patton’s belief in a soldier’s Valhalla, connects the family’s wealth to one of America’s bitterest labor strikes, and disputes the usual interpretation of Patton’s relief from command of the Third Army. While investigating this complex man, Hirshson has uncovered surprising material about a series of civilian and military massacres in Sicily, attempts to exploit Patton’s diary after his death, and Patton’s relations with top Allied generals. In this meticulously documented volume, Patton comes to life.

The Good Soldier Svejk follows Josef Svejk ("one of the great characters of 20th century literature"--New Republic), a boisterous and sometimes bumbling (or brilliantly subversive?) Czech soldier, through the trials of World War I. Beginning with the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914, we follow one of the great comic heroes of the 20th century on a wild trip through war-ravaged Europe, as he fakes illnesses, is captured by his own men, and embarks on various quixotic quests, always with a bizarre--and often hilarious--anecdote at the ready. Predating countercultural American classics like Catch-22 (whose defining paradox about the insanity of anyone who would volunteer for war is liberally adapted from Svejk's own invocation "The best thing you can do... is pretend to be an idiot") by a generation, The Good Soldier Svejk was one of the first anti-war satires, and still one of the finest ever written. Featuring Cecil Parrott's lively, unabridged translation, as well as the book's original illustrations, this will be the definitive publication of Hasek's masterpiece for years to come.
