I pack my bags, talk to the survivors, write my stories, then go home to wait for the next catastrophe. I don t wait very long.Journalist Patricia Evangelista came of age in the aftermath of a street revolution that forged a new future for the Philippines. Three decades later, in the face of mounting inequality, the nation discovered the fragility of its democratic institutions under the regime of strongman Rodrigo Duterte.Some People Need Killing is Evangelista s meticulously reported and deeply human chronicle of the Philippines drug war. For six years, Evangelista chronicled the killings carried out by police and vigilantes in the name of Duterte s war on drugs - a war that has led to the slaughter of thousands - immersing herself in the world of killers and survivors and capturing the atmosphere of fear created when an elected president decides that some lives are worth less than others.The book takes its title from a vigilante whose words seemed to reflect the psychological accommodation that most of the country had made: I m really not a bad guy, he said. I m not all bad. Some people need killing. A profound act of witness and a tour de force of literary journalism, Some People Need Killing is also a brilliant dissection of the grammar of violence and an important investigation of the human impulses to dominate and resist.

George Stephenson is the ultimate selfmade man: born in the pit village of Wylam, near Newcastle, and skipping any education to start work, his inventions would change the very nature of the world.From the moment he began work in the pit at the tender age of ten, he showed a natural talent for mending and inventing machines, slowly rising to become the collieryâ ™s resident engineer. However, he struggled to break through the class prejudices of the time; indeed, Sir Humphrey Davy, later President of the Royal Society, considered Stephenson (then an unknown pitman) â ˜a thief and not a clever thiefâ ™. This early battle was only one of many that Stephenson waged against the establishment.Even so, Stephenson went on to build the worldâ ™s first public railways, the Stockton and Darlington in 1825 and the Liverpoolâ “Manchester in 1830. Much is known of these achievements and of his famous creation, Rocket, yet little is known of the man himself. In George Stephenson a colourful portrait is painted of the self-taught and often testy Geordie, whose Victorian invention is now the backbone of every nation on the planet.

Kniha amerického transpersonálního psychologa se zabývá zásadním obratem v životě každého muže - a sice jeho přechodem z dětství do dospělosti. Toto vývojové období se podle nejnovějších výzkumů ukazuje být stejně klíčové pro další rozvoj zdravého duševního růstu jako rané a pozdější dětství. Integrální součástí dospívání mladých mužů byly proto ve většině tradičních kultur různé přechodové rituály a iniciace. Autor otevírá svou strhující knihu popisem situace městské rizikové mládeže v USA a zamýšlí se nad příčinami i formami vzdoru a nepřizpůsobivosti dospívajících chlapců. Ukazuje na spojitosti mezi absencí tradičních přechodových rituálů a rizikovým či delikventním jednáním mladistvých. Objasňuje, do jaké míry naše společnost sebe samu i své děti ochuzuje tím, že je připravuje o možnost ritualizovaného přechodu do dospělosti. V dalších kapitolách pak autor rekonstruuje přechodové rituály a obřady mužské dospělosti tak, aby odpovídaly naší moderní době. Stephenson se inspiruje různými domorodými tradicemi a snaží se tyto v dnešní (post)moderní společnosti chybějící rituály kompenzovat specifickými technikami, které kromě vyprávění příběhů a rozmanitých uměleckých technik zahrnují také například indiánskou saunu, hledání vize, různé způsoby modlitby, práce s živly a další. BRET STEPHENSON více než dvacet let pracuje s rizikovou a vysoce rizikovou mládeží v USA. Během své kariéry působil v různých službách a na různých pozicích, jako přednášející se účastnil nesčetných národních i mezinárodních konferencí, workshopů a přednášek. Bližší informace o jeho práci najdete na www.adolescentmind.com. Kniha je zásadní četbou pro rodiče, pedagogy, prarodiče a kohokoli dalšího, kdo vytváří a ovlivňuje způsoby, jimiž společnost přistupuje k mladým mužům… Stephenson je mistrem prezentace způsobů, jak pomoci chlapcům ‚zabít draka a dosáhnout tak přínosného, zdravého a úspěšného mužství. Doporučuji tuto knihu z celého srdce!

As extraordinary an achievement as Cryptonomicon, Quicksilver is Neal Stephenson s first novel in his acclaimed Baroque Cycle.Neal Stephenson follows his international bestseller, the WWII thriller Cryptonomicon, with a novel set in the 16th and 17th centuries, in a world of war, scientific, religious and political turmoil. With a cast of characters that includes Newton, Leibniz, Christopher Wren, Charles II, Cromwell and the young Benjamin Franklin, Stephenson again shows his extraordinary ability to get inside a place and time; as he did for the futures of his science fiction (Snowcrash,The Diamond Age) and for WWII (Cryptonomicon), here he does for the England of the Civil War and the Europe of the Wars of Religion and the Scientific Revolution. Quicksilver is yet another tour-de-force from a writer who is simply unique.

As only Stephenson can, Termination Shock sounds a clarion alarm, ponders potential solutions and dire risks, and wraps it all together in an exhilarating, witty, mind-expanding speculative adventure.

Píše se rok 1714. Daniel Waterhouse, přírodní filozof, který byl u všeho důležitého, když se rodily vědy, jak je známe dnes, se na naléhavou žádost z vysokých míst vrací z kolonie v Massachusetts do rodné Anglie a zjišťuje, že nic není jako dřív. Churavějící královna Anna, poslední Stuartovna, leží na smrtelné posteli a její následnictví zdaleka není jasné, politické a náboženské spory nadále doutnají, vliv Královské společnosti upadá, protože Isaac Newton zabředá čím dál hlouběji do alchymie, hnán touhou po záhadném Šalamounově zlatě, novou anglickou měnu ohrožuje penězokaz Jack Razič, nechvalně známý Jack Shaftoe, král vagabundů, a z druhé strany Kanálu to vše potutelně sleduje snad nesmrtelný Král Slunce. Daniel by nejraději byl jen pozorovatelem dění, ale pekelné stroje a další úklady, které mu někdo staví do cesty, jej nutí ponořit se do křivolakých londýnských uliček, aby rozpletl nitky a zjistil, kdo za tím vším stojí.

Melisanda Stokesová je odbornice na starověké jazyky. Když se na chodbě univerzity náhodou sejde s Tristanem Lyonsem, jenž se zabývá vojenskou rozvědkou, netuší, že se ocitla na prahu událostí, které naruby obrátí nejen její život, ale i lidské dějiny. Mladík jí totiž navrhne cosi neuvěřitelného: aby mu pomocí překladů pečlivě tajených dávných dokumentů pomohla dokázat, že magie kdysi existovala a byla provozována. Až příchod osvícenství a moderní vědy ji oslabil a nakonec zcela zničil. Magie podle pramenů zmizela v roce 1851 – a Tristan je odhodlán nejen přijít na to, proč se tak stalo, ale pokud možno také magii vzkřísit z mrtvých a využít ji k rozvědným a vojenským účelům. Tak vznikne D.O.D.O. – Detašované oddělení diachronních operací, které přijde na jeden velmi nadějný, ale také velmi znepokojující způsob využití magie, jenž může lidstvu přinést mnoho užitku, ale i mnoho škody. Román, do kterého Neal Stephenson vnesl nápaditost, intelekt a sofistikovanost a Nicole Gallandová lidskou vřelost, humor a vypravěčské nadání, oživí nejen magii, ale taky vaši víru v nemožné, která byla odjakživa na sci-fi a fantastice tím největším lákadlem.

An unforgettable tribute to the unbreakable bond between a father and sonWhen Simon McDermott first noticed his dad Ted⠙s sudden flares of temper and fits of forgetfulness, he couldn⠙t have guessed what lay ahead. Then came the devastating, inevitable diagnosis of Alzheimer⠙s. The dad Simon knew seemed to be drifting further away, and he had no idea how to reach him.Then, one day in the car, Simon hit play on Ted⠙s favourite song. And just like that, they were simply two mates driving around Blackburn, singing at the top of their lungs. That moment would change the course of their lives forever.Simon filmed their adventure, uploaded the video to YouTube and woke up to messages, tweets and his phone ringing off the hook. Their carpool karaoke had gone viral all the way across the globe.But a record deal, Pride of Britain Awards, over £130,000 raised for The Alzheimer⠙s Society and a Top 10 single later, Simon was still losing Ted. That⠙s when he made a decision. His Dad ⠓ the storyteller of his childhood and his best friend ⠓ couldn⠙t tell his own story, so Simon would tell it for him. This is that story.Full of poignant moments, the ups and downs of family life and treasured memories, The Songaminute Man is a story of two halves: a celebration of the man Ted was, and a powerful and moving account of caring for a loved one.

AS FEATURED ON BBC2 S BETWEEN THE COVERS THE TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLERA GUARDIAN, TELEGRAPH, THE TIMES, IRISH TIMES, ROUGH TRADE, MOJO, CLASH, ROLLING STONE, UNCUT BOOK OF THE YEARFrom award-winning musician and composer Warren Ellis comes the unexpected and inspiring story of a piece of chewing gum. FEATURING AN INTRODUCTION BY NICK CAVEâ ˜Warren has turned this memento, snatched from his idolâ ™s piano in a moment of rapture, into a genuine religious artefact.â ™NICK CAVE Such a mad, happy book about art and music and obsession. Iâ ™m so glad I got to read it. It made the world feel lighter. NEIL GAIMAN In praise of meaning-rich relics and magical things. Totally heartwarming project. MAX PORTER A unique study of a fanâ ™s devotion, of transcendence and of the artistic vocation â ” itâ ™s got depth and great warmth. Itâ ™s a beautiful piece of work. KEVIN BARRYI hadnâ ™t opened the towel that contained her gum since 2013. The last person to touch it was Nina Simone, her saliva and fingerprints unsullied. The idea that it was still in her towel was something I had drawn strength from. I thought each time I opened it some of Nina Simoneâ ™s spirit would vanish. In many ways that thought was more important than the gum itself.On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave s Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr Simone s piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, a conduit that would eventually take Ellis back to his childhood and his relationship with found objects, growing in significance with every passing year.Nina Simoneâ ™s Gum is about how something so small can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process, friendship, understanding and love. This is such a beautiful f*@king book. Thank you, Warren. I highly recommend this motherf*@ker. FLEA A beautifully written book about the power of music and objects. I powered through it in two days. COURTNEY BARNETT A moving, inspiration insight into a beautiful mind. JIM JARMUSCH The year s most eccentric and joyful musical memoir. DAILY TELEGRAPH (Books of the year) [Nina Simone s Gum] is a metaphor for [Ellis ] creativity â ” the blossoming of a small idea into something bigger and bolder â ” but also a journey inside the impulsive, improvisatory mind of Warren Ellis, his passions, obsessions and superstitions. OBSERVER [A] beautiful, strikingly idiosyncratic book â ” part memoir, part essay, part conceptual art project, all testament to humans at their strangest and best . . . [Ellis] sees signifiance where others might not. MOJO A glorious piece of object fetishism . . . Marvel as Ellis collection of eccentric personal mementos morphs into a celebration of the intangible wonder of music. UNCUT Wonderful. THE TIMES The most peculiar book I ve ever read.

James Baldwin used to tell Nina Simone, This is the world you have made for yourself, now you have to live in it. Simone has created for herself a world of magnificent peaks. Often compared to Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, Simone is known as one of the greatest singers of her generation. She has recorded forty-three albums, ranging from blues to jazz to folk, and her hits like I Loves You, Porgy, My Baby Just Cares for Me, I Put a Spell on You, and Mississippi Goddam have confirmed her as an enduring force in popular music. Her song Young, Gifted, and Black became the anthem for the Civil Rights Movement and thrust her beyond international stardom into the center of activism. But such worlds as Simone s are not without their grim valleys: disastrous marriages, arrest and the threat of imprisonment, mental breakdown, poverty, and attempted suicide. She has survived these trials and continues to perform throughout Europe and the United States. With undiminished passion and in her unconquerable voice, this is Nina Simone s powerful memoir of her tempestuous life.

Audiokniha: Jak vybuduji stabilní a a výkonný tým, ve kterém všichni usilují o dosažení společného cíle? Kde nepanuje cynismus a sobectví? Kde jsou si kolegové oporou? Simon Sinek, autor bestselleru Začněte s proč, studoval množství firem, v jejichž čele stojí lídři, kterým více než na sobě a na krátkodobých ziscích záleží na zaměstnancích. Své poznatky pak zpracoval do nové knihy Lídři jedí poslední, kde se jimi můžete inspirovat i vy. Armáda má jasno: důstojníci jedí poslední! Co je v jídelně spíše symbolickým gestem, dostává na bitevním poli vážnější rozměr. Ti nejlepší lídři obětují vlastní pohodlí a bezpečí pro dobro těch, kterým velí. Budují ve své firmě důvěru, pocit jistoty a podporují spolupráci. Jejich zaměstnanci pak táhnou za jeden provaz a dokážou čelit vnějším výzvám. Firmy jsou stabilní a dlouhodobě úspěšné. Tento princip používá lidstvo od dob lovců a sběračů a Simon Sinek ukazuje, že platí stále, možná víc než kdy jindy. Simon Sinek (1973) Simon Sinek je britsko-americký autor, motivační řečník a marketingový konzultant. Je autorem světových bestsellerů: „Začněte s PROČ“, „Lídři jedí poslední“ a „Objevte své PROČ“. Sinek zformuloval a popularizoval koncept „zlatého kruhu“, v jehož středu stojí „proč - vnitřní smysl existence nebo práce jednotlivce. Vzděláním je etnograf, a tak ho nepřestávají fascinovat lidé a organizace. Spolupracuje se společností Ernst Young, jíž pomáhá měnit firemní kulturu, nebo s renomovanou RAND Corporation. Spolupracuje nebo spolupracoval i s dalšími firmami a organizacemi, mezi nimi figurují například Microsoft, Disney, Mars, KPMG, Pfizer nebo americká armáda. Gustav Bubník (1962) Gustav Bubník je český televizní herec a dabér, syn hokejisty Augustina Bubníka.

Audiokniha: Z komentáře Vladimíra Justla k původnímu LP albu 1118 4193 Josef Šimon Pouštní pták (na útesech rocků) vydaného v roce 1987 v Supraphonu a nyní vycházejícímu poprvé digitálně: Řekneme-li básníci jazzové inspirace, vybaví se nám celá plejáda jmen autorů několika generací různých národů, nejčastěji američtí a angličtí beatníci, sovětští básníci z generace Vozněsenského, z našich především bluesový Josef Kainar a ragtimový Václav Hrabě. Básníci rockové inspirace není ještě zavedený pojem, a přece už je u nás autor, jemuž toto označení (nebudeme-li je považovat za vyčerpávající) patří plným právem. Je to JOSEF ŠIMON (nar. 1948), který vydal dosud pět sbírek básní: Snídaně v automatu (1976), Asfaltoví holubi (1978), Český den (1979), Pouštní pták (1981), Ať člověk . Melancholická kytara (1982). Šestá knížka s názvem Vyvolávač by měla vyjít ve stejné době jako tato gramofonová deska...Stejně totálně jako svět a ženu chápe Šimon i umění. Je mu celistvým postojem ke skutečnosti, jeho zdrojem je rozum i cit. Stejně tak slovo: je mu nejen slovem psaným, mluveným či zpívaným, ale především prostředkem tvorby. Šimon je alergický na slova skleníková , touží po ztotožnění, po osobní výpovědi. Proto ho láká hovořit své verše a docela je i zpívat. Je v tom i odmítání cizích mystifikací z interpretace vytváří prvek uměleckého obrazu. V tomto smyslu představuje Šimona právě tato gramofonová deska. Je to - zdá se - experiment. Ale má něco do sebe: jde o totální výpověď, kde hudba není doplňkem, ozdobou, náhodností, ale ani funkční možností je víc: nutností, tvoří se slovem dvojhlas, jednotu, společný svět....
