Jáhen King Kong - James McBride
Brooklyn, konec 60. let. Starý svérázný jáhen jednoho dne nakráčí před místního dealera, kterého ještě nedávno učil hrát baseball, a postřelí ho. Spustí tak kaskádu událostí, jež změní život nejen jim dvěma, ale celé různorodé komunitě žijící ve špatné čtvrti . Sociální problémy, rasismus a nepokoje jsou spíše pozadím živelného příběhu, který postupně nabírá parametry pátrání ve stylu Indiana Jonese. Americký klasik James McBride, jenž vychází v češtině vůbec poprvé, zde ukazuje jak mistrovské vypravěčské schopnosti, tak svou trvalou víru v lidstvo. Jáhen King Kong voní atmosférou New Yorku a jazzu, potěší milovníky gangsterek a podivínských hrdinů a je povzbudivou zprávou o tom, že láska a víra žije i v tom nejposlednějším darebákovi.

Deacon King Kong - James McBride
From the author of THE HEAVEN EARTH GROCERY STORE...A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER and OPRAH S BOOK CLUB PICKChosen by BARACK OBAMA as a favourite readTOP TEN books of the year, NEW YORK TIMES WASHINGTON POSTNATIONAL BOOK AWARD winning author Brilliantly imagined, larger than life, a tragicomedic epic. JOYCE CAROL OATES Deeply felt, beautifully written and profoundly humane. JUNOT DIAZ Among the greatest American storytellers of our time. BOOKPAGE A modern day Mark Twain NYT Book ReviewThe year is 1969. In a housing project in south Brooklyn, a shambling old church deacon called Sportcoat shoots - for no apparent reason - the local drug-dealer who used to be part of the church s baseball team. The repercussions of that moment draw in the whole community, from Sportcoat s best friend - Hot Sausage - to the local Italian mobsters, the police (corrupt and otherwise), and the stalwart ladies of the Five Ends Baptist Church.DEACON KING KONG is a book about a community under threat, about the ways people pull together in an age when the old rules are being rewritten. It is very funny in places, and heartbreaking in others. From a prize-winning storyteller, this New York Times bestseller shows us that not all secrets are meant to be hidden, and that the communities we build are fragile but vital.______________________ When I met James McBride, I felt like I d had coffee with a hysterically funny Leo Tolstoy Ethan Hawke A hilarious, pitch-perfect comedy set in the Brooklyn projects of the late 1960s. This alone may qualify it as one of the year s best novels. The Washington PostWhat Goodreads readers are saying:***** Deacon King Kong is one of those novels whose brilliance sneaks up on you. I haven t been this pleasantly surprised by a book in a while. ***** I do believe I just finished one of my all time favorite books. I loved every minute spent with Sportcoat and his community. A good old fashioned yarn shot through with truth, spirit, and humor. I LOVED it! ***** This book was a balm for my soul, a portrait of a black church community circa 1969 with sweet characters (well, most of them), interconnections that stretch back decades, and a plot with more than one mystery at its heart. ***** Deacon has the texture of folk lore and fable mixed with the unexpected rhythms of jazz and the noisy streets of late 1960s Brooklyn. ***** The ending was one of those where you clutch your heart and want to hug the book (or your Kindle).

The Savage Storm - James Holland
[A] captivating and dramatic account. . . Drawn from letters and diaries, Holland’s immersive narrative is told through the eye-level perspectives of dozens of subjects. Readers will be enthralled Publishers Weekly‘Tells the story of the hard, bloody, muddy fighting that filled the rest of 1943… this excellent book reinforces Holland’s reputation as the busiest and most popular military historian of the second world war working today’ Spectator‘A remarkable achievement by a historian at the height of his powers. Holland has successfully illustrated both the significance and the savagery of the Italian campaign... through a powerful and compelling narrative’ Military History Matters_____________________From the bestselling author of Brothers in Arms comes the story of the most pivotal Allies campaign of World War II.With the invasion of France the following year taking shape, and hot on the heels of victory in Sicily, the Allies crossed into Southern Italy in September 1943. They expected to drive the Axis forces north and be in Rome by Christmas. And although Italy surrendered, the German forces resisted fiercely and the swift hoped-for victory descended into one of the most brutal battles of the war.Even though shipping and materiel were already being safeguarded for the D-Day landings, there were still huge expectations on the progress of the invading armies, but those shortages were to slow the advance with tragic consequences. As the weather closed in, the critical weeks leading up to Monte Cassino would inflict a heavy price for every bloody, hard fought mile the Allied troops covered.Chronicling those dark, dramatic months in unflinching and insightful detail, The Savage Storm is unlike any campaign history yet written. James Holland has always recounted the Second World War at ground level, but this version telling brings the story vividly to life like never before. Weaving together a wealth of letters, diaries, and other incredible documents, Holland traces the battles as they were fought - across plains, over mountains, through shattered villages and cities, in intense heat and, towards the end, frigid cold and relentless rain - putting readers at the heart of the action to create an entirely fresh and revealing telling of this most pivotal phase of the war._____________________Praise for James Holland Impeccably researched and superbly written Observer Holland has something new to say.... Filled with insight and detail Neil Oliver James Holland is the best of the new generation of WW2 historians Sebastian Faulks

Entropy Economics - James K. Galbraith, Jing Chen
Economists dream of equilibrium. Itâ ™s time to wake up. In mainstream economics, markets are ideal if competition is perfect. When supply balances demand, economic maturity is orderly and disturbed only by shocks. These ideas are rooted in doctrines going back thousands of years, yet, as James K. Galbraith and Jing Chen show, they contradict the foundations of our scientific understanding of the physical and biological worlds. Entropy Economics discards the conventions of equilibrium and presents a new basis for thinking about economic issues, one rooted in life processesâ ”an unequal world of unceasing change in which boundaries, plans, and regulations are essential. Galbraith and Chenâ ™s theory of value is based on scarcity, and it accounts for the power of monopoly. Their theory of production covers increasing and decreasing returns, uncertainty, fixed investments over time, and the impact of rising resource costs. Together, their models illuminate key problems such as trade, finance, energy, climate, conflict, and demography. Entropy Economics is a thrilling framework for understanding the world as it is and will be keenly relevant to the economic challenges of a world threatened with disorder.

Tomorrow Will Be Different - Biden Joe, Sarah McBride
“A brave, powerful memoir” (People) that will change the way we look at identity and equality in this country, from the activist elected as the first openly transgender member of Congress in U.S. history“The energy and vigor Sarah has brought to the fight for equality is ever present in this book.”—Vice President Kamala Harris “If you’re living your own internal struggle, this book can help you find a way to live authentically, fully, and freely. . . . Let it show that we are all created equal and entitled to be treated with dignity and respect.”—President Joe Biden, from the forewordBefore she became the first transgender person to speak at a national political convention in 2016 at the age of twenty-six, Sarah McBride struggled with the decision to come out—not just to her family but to the students of American University, where she was serving as student body president. She’d known she was a girl from her earliest memories, but it wasn’t until the Facebook post announcing her truth went viral that she realized just how much impact her story could have on the country.Four years later, McBride was one of the nation’s most prominent transgender activists, walking the halls of the White House, advocating inclusive legislation, and addressing the country in the midst of a heated presidential election. She had also found her first love and future husband, Andy, a trans man and fellow activist, who complemented her in every way . . . until cancer tragically intervened.Informative, heartbreaking, and profoundly empowering, Tomorrow Will Be Different is McBride’s story of love and loss and a powerful entry point into the LGBTQ community’s battle for equal rights and what it means to be openly transgender. From issues like bathroom access to health care to gender in America, McBride weaves the important political and cultural milestones into a personal journey that will open hearts and change minds.As McBride urges: “We must never be a country that says there’s only one way to love, only one way to look, and only one way to live.”The fight for equality and freedom has only just begun.

Every Falling Star - Sungju Lee, Susan McClelland
Every Falling Star, the first book to portray contemporary North Korea to a young audience, is Sungju Lee’s intense memoir about being forced at age 12 to live on the streets and fend for himself.“Presents North Korea as a horrifying real-life dystopia. The book, the first of its kind aimed at young adults, is a first-person account of what it is like to be born and raised in a terrifying environment.” —The Guardian Dedicating his book to those he left behind in North Korea, Sungju Lee writes, “North Korea is indeed a Hermit Kingdom; a true-to-life dystopian nation. It’s against this backdrop that my story takes place.” To survive, Sungju creates a gang and lives by thieving, fighting, begging, and stealing rides on cargo trains. Sungju richly recreates his scabrous story, depicting what it was like for a boy alone to create a new family with his gang, “his brothers,” to daily be hungry and to fear arrest, imprisonment, and even execution. The book starts with a brief, never-before-told history of modern North Korea that puts Sungju’s personal story into context. Then he and coauthor Susan Elizabeth McClelland describe the four years of danger and desperation he endured after being abandoned by his parents. You may not believe the things that he was forced to endure at such a young age. You may not want to believe the horrors of the modern state of North Korea. But this true story of survival and determination allows young readers to learn about another culture where the freedoms they take for granted do not exist.

Budu vůbec někdy dost dobrá? - Rádce pro dcery narcistických matek - Karyl McBride
Tato kniha je určena dcerám matek, které se chovaly sobecky a soustředily se jen na sebe. Nabízí jim pomocnou ruku k tomu, aby překonaly to, co se jim dělo, a dokázaly změnit svůj život. Karyl McBride má více než dvacetiletou praxi s prací s ženami, které prošly touto zkušeností, a pomáhá jim odhalit, jak tato zkušenost poznamenala jejich emoční život, a také vytvořit si vlastní program, který jim pomůže ochránit se před vlivy minulosti, rozhodovat se a přivést je k zotavení zranění z osobní historie. Narcistické matky své dcery učí, že láska není bezpodmínečná, že ji dostanou pouze tehdy, když se chovají tak, jak se od nich očekává. Jako dospělé pak tyto dcery mají problém s překonáním pocitu nedostatečnosti, zklamání, emoční prázdnoty a smutku. Utíkají se pak do nezdravých romantických vztahů, mívají sklon k perfekcionismu a neadekvátní sebekritice a potýkají se s frustrací. Často také sabotují samy sebe. Kniha jim pomůže rozpoznat jejich vlastní zkušenost s mateřským narcismem a jeho dopady na celý jejich život. Také jim pomůže zjistit, zda samy převzaly verbální i neverbální poselství svých matek a zda se s nimi ztotožnily. Pomůže jim v tom, aby převzaly kontrolu nad svým životem a nastolily ve vztahu se svou matkou jasné a zdravé hranice. Karyl McBride, Ph.D. , je manželskou a rodinnou poradkyní s více než třicetiletou zkušeností. Specializuje se na léčení traumatu a je uznávanou odbornicí v oblasti narcismu.

For some, it’s gathering around the kitchen table as Grandma tells the story of Anansi the spider, while for others it s grinning from ear to ear while eating auntie’s spectacular 7Up cake.Black experiences and traditions are complex, striking, and vast—they stretch longer than the Nile and are four times as deep—and carry more than just unimaginable pain—there is also joy.Featuring an all-star group of thirty-seven powerful poetic voices, including such luminaries as Kwame Alexander, James Baldwin, Ibi Zoboi, Audre Lorde, Nikki Giovanni, and Gwendolyn Brooks, this riveting anthology depicts the diversity of the Black experience by fostering a conversation about race, faith, heritage, and resilience between fresh poets and the literary ancestors that came before them.Edited by Taylor Byas, Erica Martin, and Coretta Scott King New Talent Award winner Amber McBride, Poemhood will simultaneously highlight the duality and nuance at the crux of so many Black experiences with poetry being the psalm constantly playing.A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection pick!

Mjung Sung: korejské umění živé meditace - Jenelle Kimová
Většina forem meditace nás žádá, abychom spočinuli v klidu a tichu. Máme se odpoutat od svého rušného života a zapomenout na stále rostoucí seznam úkolů, což nemusí být vždy jednoduché. Živá meditace mjung sung je pravým opakem tohoto přístupu. Jedná se o meditaci aktivní, dynamickou a vetkanou do našeho každodenního života. Díky meditaci mjung sung můžeme vidět sebe samé, a tedy i svět mnohem jasněji. Pomáhá nám žít v přítomnosti, s pocitem uvědomění, ukotvení a propojení, abychom mohli vést harmonický a vyvážený život bez ohledu na to, co se děje kolem nás.

Sung Hwan Kim - Janine Armin
A richly illustrated exploration of Sung Hwan Kim’s complex record of migrant stories, displacement and belonging, border-crossings and translation.In A Record of Drifting Across the Sea (2017–), Sung Hwan Kim turns to past histories of migration. The artist parses the traces—archival and bodily—left by undocumented Korean migrants who came to the US by way of Hawai’i at the turn of the last century, and ponders over their impact on other migrant and indigenous communities. As an ongoing film and installation series, comprising two chapters and a third in progress, A Record unsettles the limits of the one work with its distributive, open-ended and collaborative nature.  In this speculative inquiry, Janine Armin explores each chapter in Kim’s multilayered work as a mycelial network of feelers entangling and extending the wider work in process. Engaging history through the senses, folklore and myth, as much as through archival material, Kim navigates and crosses the boundaries between displacement and belonging. Focusing on the artist’s attempt to escape from representation, Armin illuminates and attends to the different stories and non-sovereign ways of being together towards which his work points us.  This title is part of the One Work book series, which focuses on artworks that have significantly changed the way we understand art and its history.

Gut and Psychology Syndrome - Natasha Campbell-McBride
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride set up The Cambridge Nutrition Clinic in 1998. As a parent of a child diagnosed with learning disabilities, she is acutely aware of the difficulties facing other parents like her, and she has devoted much of her time to helping these families. She realized that nutrition played a critical role in helping children and adults to overcome their disabilities, and has pioneered the use of probiotics in this field. Her willingness to share her knowledge has resulted in her contributing to many publications, as well as presenting at numerous seminars and conferences on the subjects of learning disabilities and digestive disorders. Her book Gut and Psychology Syndrome captures her experience and knowledge, incorporating her most recent work. She believes that the link between learning disabilities, the food and drink that we take, and the condition of our digestive system is absolute, and the results of her work have supported her position on this subject. In her clinic, parents discuss all aspects of their child s condition, confident in the knowledge that they are not only talking to a professional but to a parent who has lived their experience. Her deep understanding of the challenges they face puts her advice in a class of its own.

The Sword of Song - Aleister Crowley
A fully annotated, deluxe hardcover edition of one of Aleister Crowley’s formative works• Presents Crowley’s preferred text, drawing on all existing draft manuscripts and margin notes from Crowley’s personal copies• Contains an introduction and explanatory notes by Crowley biographer Richard Kaczynski, helping to illuminate obscure passages and references• Includes Crowley’s mystical essays on his first forays into sex magic, his initial embrace of the legendary title of “the Beast,” and his encounters with the Golden Dawn, Buddhism, Agnosticism, and ChristianityToo inflammatory for English publishers, Aleister Crowley printed The Sword of Song, his first talismanic work, in Paris in 1904, releasing a mere one hundred copies. Deconstructing his encounters with the Golden Dawn, Buddhism, Agnosticism, and Christianity, the book explored Crowley’s magic and spiritual philosophy before he experienced the revelation that led to The Book of the Law. The Sword of Song also contained Crowley’s first manifesto, his first forays into sex magic, his initial embrace of the legendary title of the Beast, the occult poem Ascension Day, and mystical essays.Now in this fully annotated deluxe hardcover edition, renowned Crowley biographer Richard Kaczynski presents Crowley’s preferred text for The Sword of Song, drawing on all existing draft manuscripts as well as unpublished margin notes from Crowley’s personal copies of the book. Kaczynski clarifies all the significant changes and additions throughout the book’s various iterations and provides explanations for the many occult and popular culture references. He also includes a substantial scholarly introduction, reflecting an intimate knowledge of Crowley and the development of his magical practice.Kaczynski demonstrates how The Sword of Song was not only a prototype for Crowley’s later works such as Konx Om Pax and The Book of Lies, but that The Sword of Song s blend of poetry, allegory, fiction, and essay reveals the formative inner workings of one of the twentieth century’s most provocative thinkers just before he received the life-changing Book of the Law from the discarnate entity Aiwass.
