A Sound So Very Loud - Kessler Ted
The definitive book about the music of Oasis, published in time for the reunion tour. A deeply researched tribute to the creative talent and star power of the Gallaghers, A Sound So Very Loud is crammed with unknown detail and the kind of anarchic, brilliantly funny anecdotes that only Oasis could generate.Music journalists Ted Kessler and Hamish MacBain first met Liam and Noel in 1994, when the brothers were playing tiny venues, and have since interviewed them dozens of times, tracking the astonishing success of Oasis as they became one of the biggest bands in the world.In this comprehensive telling of the Oasis story through their spectacular back catalogue, Kessler and MacBain focus on the enduring power of the music, exploring the tales behind the lyrics and revealing the background to the writing, recording and impact of all the songs, from megahits like ‘Live Forever’, ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Champagne Supernova’ to the fan-favourite B-sides and deep cuts such as ‘Acquiesce’, ‘The Masterplan’ and ‘Half the World Away’.With their unique perspective on all things Oasis, Kessler and MacBain bring this story to life in glorious colour.

So Very Small - Thomas Levenson
In 1665, an infectious disease swept through the British capital and claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people. It would take another two hundred years for the cause of the Great Plague of London to be confirmed: a powerful bacterium called Yersinia pestis. In those centuries, our understanding of diseases was transformed. In So Very Small, Thomas Levenson reveals how human hubris led us to overestimate our own ability and underestimate the threat that microorganisms truly pose. He journeys through some of the most significant epidemics and pandemics in history, including the recurrent outbreaks of cholera in Europe and Asia, and the1721 Boston smallpox epidemic.The turning point came in the nineteenth century with the development of germ theory: the concept that microbes can cause disease. Levenson shows how, in the years that followed, scientists made major breakthroughs in our ongoing struggle against infectious disease. Perhaps the greatest of these achievements is the discovery of antibiotic treatment, which has been the salvation of much of humanity in recent centuries.In a story that spans centuries and continents, So Very Small explores the scientific quest to understand how tiny organisms have impacted the wider world – and looks ahead to the battle to fight their rapid evolution.

Sonata VI "Fras": "Čert" (9790260103405)
Kniha - autor Luboš Fišer, česky Z celkem osmi klavírních sonát ve Fišerově tvorbě patří v pořadí šestá sonáta s podtitulem Fras (staroslovanské označení čerta) k dílům tvůrčího období 70. let. Vznikla v roce 1978, v němž se autor vrací po uměleckých výbojích let šedesátých k tradičnějšímu způsobu hudebního vyjadřování a zápisu. Počínaje čtvrtou sonátou (1962-64) vytvořil Fišer typ jednověté kompozice, u níž je patrný vývoj směrem k větší sevřenosti hudebního tvaru s působivou stručností výpovědi. I šestou klavírní sonátu autor koncipuje jako jednověté zpracování vystavěné na principu kontrastních dílů a gradace vyvolávající dramatickou účinnost.

Aura-Soma - Mike Booth, Rebilas Iris
Zkušená německá učitelka Aura-Somy ve své knize popisuje hloubku působení barev, jejich jazyk a prožitky, které nám mohou přinést prostřednictvím tří typů esencí - Pomanderů, Kvintesencí a Archandělských esencí. Oblast působení nejběžněji používaných esencí - Pomanderů - vysvětluje na barevném spektru denního světla, které nám přináší rytmus a střídání stavů mysli a vědomí. Kvintesence pomáhají duchovním hledačům nalézat cestu k vyššímu vědomí, zatímco Archandělské esence přinášejí inspiraci, ochranu a transformaci. Kniha je praktickým návodem pro ty, kdo chtějí lépe pochopit působení barev, a neocenitelným průvodcem pro všechny, kdo Aura-Somu používají. Autorce se v ní podařilo převést abstraktní svět energií do konkrétního a snadno uchopitelného jazyka a vysvětlit působení barev na běžných situacích každodenního života.

Diet, Drugs and Dopamine - David A. Kessler
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ''An important and illuminating book.'' - Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed PeopleFor decades, the medical establishment has been giving us the wrong advice on what to eat; and when we put on weight we are made to feel it''s our own fault. In Diet, Drugs and Dopamine, Dr. David A. Kessler, a leading medic and former head of the US Food and Drug Administration, sets the record straight, sharing new evidence that obesity is not just a disease of the body, but also one of the brain. He explains how processed food has changed our brain chemistry, creating compulsive cravings that not only cause us to eat more but rob us of the ability to feel full. As someone who has struggled with his weight all his adult life, Dr Kessler trials the latest weight loss drugs, and brings his unique perspective to evaluate their real impact. While these medicines, which work by suppressing appetite, will offer miracle results for some, they are not a cure-all. Drawing on cutting-edge research on the many factors that influence weight - from neuroscience to nutrition - Kessler presents a new way forward. Eye-opening and empowering, this book is a must-read for anyone who has ever struggled to maintain a healthy body weight - which is to say, everyone.

Paddy Mayne - Ross Hamish
‘The best biography I’ve read recently’ – Colin Bateman, Sunday Independent''An excellent examination of Mayne… Ross corrects many of the myths about him that have flourished over the years'' - History of War magazine‘This welcome reassessment, officially backed and well-researched, sets the record straight’ – Soldier Magazine‘Paddy’ Mayne was one of the most outstanding special forces leaders of the Second World War. Hamish Ross’s authoritative study follows Mayne from solicitor and rugby international to troop commander in the Commandos and then the SAS, whose leader he later became and whose annals he graced, winning the DSO and three bars, the Croix de Guerre and the Légion d’Honneur.Mayne’s achievements attracted attention, and after his early death legends emerged, based largely on anecdote and assertion. Hamish Ross’s closely researched biography challenges much of the received version, using contemporary sources, the official war diaries, the chronicle of 1 SAS, Mayne’s papers and diaries, and a number of extended interviews with key contemporaries.Ross’s analysis shows Mayne to be a dynamic, yet principled and thoughtful man, committed to the unit’s original concepts. He was far from flawless, but his leadership and tactical brilliance in the field secured the reputation of the SAS, proving he was every bit a rogue hero.

Hamish
This is the lively autobiography of Group Captain Hamish Mahaddie who was at various times a Halton apprentice, bomber pilot, staff officer, station commander and technical adviser to the British film industry.In an animated narrative liberally laced with anecdotes, the author reflects on his formative years in Edinburgh and the part he played in the Trenchard Experiment at Halton in the late 1920s. We follow him to the outposts of the Empire during the 1930s with postings to Egypt and Iraq where he gained his wings. On his return to the UK in 1937, he found a very different Royal Air Force now frantically preparing for the inevitable cataclysm of war which was about to engulf the world.Hamish flew on two tours of operations with Bomber Command in the dangerous night skies over Europe in Whitleys and Stirlings before joining AVM Don Bennett''s Staff at Pathfinder Force HQ.

Ani Bůh ani člověk - Herbert Leon Kessler
Ani Bůh ani člověk. Slova, obrazy a středověká úzkost z výtvarného umění je jednou z recentních prací Herberta L. Kesslera, která vyšla poprvé v roce 2007 jako součást ediční řady zabývající se literárními prameny k výtvarným dílům.V centru pozornosti této knihy stojí otázka legitimity zobrazování Boha ve středověkém vizuálním umění a můžeme ji tak, i přes její úsporný formát, považovat za syntézu autorových badatelských zájmů. Čtenáři se nyní dostává do rukou český překlad, jenž vznikl poněkud netradičním způsobem, a to jako společná práce studentů Semináře dějin umění brněnské Filozofické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity. Jeho vydání bylo motivováno několika faktory.V první řadě se jedná o snahu uvést téma této publikace na domácí scénu, kde se mu prozatím nedostalo rozsáhlejší reflexe.Za druhé, kniha Ani Bůh ani člověk, stejně jako značná část autorova díla, vyšla ve velice omezeném nákladu a její distribuce byla proto pouze marginální. Pro domácího čtenáře, a studenty obzvláště, tak Kesslerovy knihy zůstávají obtížně dostupné, což je v případě jedné z předních osobností historiografie dějin středověkého umění posledních desetiletí velká škoda. Konečně, Herbert L. Kessler je také klíčovou postavou pro rodící se Centrum raně středověkých studií při Semináři dějin umění Masarykovy univerzity, kde zároveň působí jako hostující profesor. Toto exkluzivní propojení s Brnem, činí tento překlad logickým vyústěním našich společných aktivit.

Rosenfeld - Maya Kessler
''Rosenfeld is all intensity and desire''- Chicago Review of Books''Primal, graphic and shocking'' - Esquire''This novel should come with an X rating'' - The Los Angeles TimesNoa Simon is a thirty-six-year-old filmmaker who knows what she wants when she sees it. When she meets Teddy Rosenfeld, an antagonistic, older CEO, she goes for the jugular. An electrifying encounter in a bathroom stall after their first meeting only serves to whet Noa''s appetite, and despite Teddy''s subsequent rejections, Noa is empowered by the challenge-and by her own insatiability. She takes a job at his office and folds herself into his life, where they are just as often at each other''s throats as in each other''s beds. Their ravenous, volatile romance unearths difficult secrets from both of their pasts, and ultimately forces Noa to reckon with whether she wants to be with Teddy or give herself the permission to become someone more like him.Rosenfeld is a compulsive, erotic page-turner that refuses to shy away from the thorniest questions of how taboos around power, agency, and control play out between men and women in our most painful and pleasurable moments. With precision and visceral, voyeuristic detail, Maya Kessler has written a tale of sexual initiation and abandon that titillates and interrogates in equal measure.

Melanesia - Hamish McDonald
An immersive journey through the tumultuous past and fascinating present of the south-western Pacific. Stretching from Fiji in the east to New Guinea in the west, Melanesia is astonishingly diverse. Its islands are home to some 1,200 language groups, many of them still isolated from the outside world. This complex region tends to make the news only in times of crisis: military coups in Fiji, Kanak unrest in New Caledonia, rioting in the Solomon Islands. Melanesia offers readers a deeper insight into the people and places behind these headlines, combining travelogue, history and astute political analysis.By land and sea, Hamish McDonald travels from one end of Melanesia to the other, uncovering the histories, values, aspirations and tensions that have shaped the region. He examines the impact of outsiders on local communities: the Indians recruited to work in Fiji; the white ‘blackbirders’ who kidnapped Melanesians to labour in Australian cane fields; the Americans during the Second World War; the Indonesians in New Guinea. And he considers the big changes unfolding today, as shifting demographics and the growing influence of China produce a new balance of power across the region.Vividly written, Melanesia is essential reading for anyone looking to understand this fascinating part of the world and its growing international significance.

Go-Man: Champion of Earth - Steele Hamish
Lonely latchkey kid Tobi dreams of growing up to fight the giant monsters that plague his city, just like his dad does, but when he stumbles upon the power to turn into the colossal superhero, Go-Man, he realizes he’s been wishing his childhood away. Go-Man: Champion of Earth is an action-packed, highly bingeable middle grade adventure series about how one kid overcomes the differences that set him apart from his classmates in order to make friends and save his city. It’s also, at its heart, a story about an autistic kid overcoming neglect in his home. It draws on Hamish’s own childhood experiences and obsessions, making this project very close to his heart. This is not just your ordinary superhero story. The superhero element in Go-Man is a metaphor for masking, the camouflaging behavior that many autistic people employ to suppress their true identity in an effort to conform with those around them. As a superhero, Tobi is more popular than ever! But this masking effort drains him of all of his energy, making him retreat into his bedroom for days. Tobi’s goal is to become someone who doesn’t need his superhero side anymore. He must ultimately learn to love himself as he is, find friends who appreciate him for himself, and finally enjoy being just a kid before it’s too late.

Lost Edinburgh - Hamish Coghill
From mean beginnings – ‘wretched accommodation, no comfortable houses, no soft beds’, visiting French knights complained in 1341 – the city of Edinburgh went on to become one of the architectural wonders of the world. But over the centuries many of its fine buildings have gone. Although invasion and civil strife played their part, some buildings simply collapsed of old age and neglect. Others were swept away in the ‘improvements’ of the nineteenth century; yet more fell in the developers’ swathe of destruction in the twentieth century as shifting patterns of social habits, industry, housing and road systems demanded change on a massive scale. Few buildings were immune as much of the Old Town’s medieval heritage was destroyed, Georgian squares attacked, Princes Street ruined, old tenements razed in huge slum clearances, and once familiar and much-loved landmarks disappeared.In this informative and stimulating book, Hamish Coghill sets out to trace many of Edinburgh’s lost buildings – from imposing city centre edifices to domestic dwellings – and to find out why they were doomed. Lavishly illustrated, Lost Edinburgh is a fascinating insight into a cityscape that has been constantly reinvented over the years, and which continues to develop in the most unexpected and dramatic ways in the twenty-first century.

Sound Affects - Julian Treasure
''Transformative and a fascinating read; this book will open your ears to the world of sound and change your life'' Steven Bartlett, bestselling author of The Diary of a CEO''A fascinating insight into the power of sound'' Susan Cain, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of QUIETEvery day, the sounds around us affect every aspect of our human experience, and thus fundamentally alter our quality of life, for better or worse. It is only recently that scientists have realised that sounds connect us to the world in ways that are every bit as vivid and evocative as visual landscapes. Hearing is the first sense we develop, and as our primary warning sense it is hardwired into our brains. And yet, in an increasingly noisy and distracted world, most people pay scant attention to the sounds around them, causing them to lose contact with the essential skill of listening. Sound Affects is about rediscovering the wonder of sound, and understanding how powerfully it affects us, whether we are paying attention or not. It is also a manual for taking back responsibility for the sounds we consume and the sounds we make, so we can enhance our own happiness, effectiveness and well-being.In the process, the reader will discover that:- stars are like bells, ringing with sound black holes make sound 50 octaves below what we can hear - snapping shrimp may be only 1cm long but they make sound that''s as loud as a rock concert - whales can communicate underwater over hundreds of miles with very low frequency sound that travels five times as fast as sound in air - individual cells make unique sounds, enabling scientists detect early signs of metastases - dolphins have names and call each other by them

Sound Authorities - Edward J. Gillin
Sound Authorities shows how experiences of music and sound played a crucial role in nineteenth-century scientific inquiry in Britain. In Sound Authorities, Edward J. Gillin focuses on hearing and aurality in Victorian Britain, claiming that the development of the natural sciences in this era cannot be understood without attending to the study of sound and music. During this time, scientific practitioners attempted to fashion themselves as authorities on sonorous phenomena, coming into conflict with traditional musical elites as well as religious bodies. Gillin pays attention to sound in both musical and nonmusical contexts, specifically the cacophony of British industrialization. Sound Authorities begins with the place of acoustics in early nineteenth-century London, examining scientific exhibitions, lectures, spectacles, workshops, laboratories, and showrooms. He goes on to explore how mathematicians mobilized sound in their understanding of natural laws and their vision of a harmonious ordered universe. In closing, Gillin delves into the era’s religious and metaphysical debates over the place of music (and humanity) in nature, the relationship between music and the divine, and the tensions between spiritualist understandings of sound and scientific ones.
