LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDRÉ SIMON AWARD 2021 ''Truffle Hound, like a truffle, charms by seducing us'' Mark Kurlansky A captivating exploration into the secretive and sensuous world of truffles, the elusive food that has captured hearts, imaginations, and palates worldwide.The scent of one freshly unearthed white truffle in Barolo was all it took to lead Rowan Jacobsen down a rabbit hole into a world of secretive hunts, misty woods, black-market deals, obsessive chefs, quixotic scientists, muddy dogs, maddening smells, and some of the most memorable meals ever created.Truffles attract dreamers, schemers, and sensualists. People spend years training dogs to find them underground. They plant forests of oaks and wait a decade for truffles to appear. They pay £2,170 a pound to possess them. They turn into quivering puddles in their presence. Why?Truffle Hound is the fascinating account of Rowan''s quest to find out, a journey that would lead him from Italy to Istria, Hungary, Spain, England, and North America. Both an entertaining odyssey and a manifesto, Truffle Hound demystifies truffles—and then remystifies them, freeing them from their gilded cage and returning them to their roots as a sacred offering from the forest. It helps people understand why they respond so strongly to that crazy smell, shows them there’s more to truffles than they ever imagined, and gives them all the tools they need to take their own truffle love to the next level. Deeply informed, unabashedly passionate, rakishly readable, Truffle Hound will spark Britain’s next great culinary passion.

Vzrušující debut Caitlin Starling s intenzitou a napětím Marťana a Gravitace i plíživou atmosférou Anihilace. Hlavní hrdinkou románu, jehož děj se odehrává na kolonizované planetě Cassandra-V, je mladá speleoložka Gyre Priceová, která se pouští do děsivé psychologické a emocionální hry o holé přežití.Když se Gyre dostala na tuto expedici, myslela si, že bude mapovat nerostná ložiska a jejím největším problémem budou zřícené podzemní jeskyně. Očekávala, že dostane k ruce zkušený tým, který na ni bude z povrchové základny dávat pozor. Napovídala tomu ostatně i tučná odměna, díky níž Gyre věřila, že bude moci z téhle bohem zapomenuté planety vypadnout a konečně najít svoji matku, která před lety zmizela neznámo kam.Jenže místo toho dostala k ruce tajnůstkářskou a odměřenou Em, která nevidí nic špatného na tom, když do své svěřenkyně ve jménu „hladkého průběhu expedice“ násilím napumpuje drogy. Co víc, ztracená a dezorientovaná Gyre si začne všímat drobných nesrovnalostí v podobě chybějících zásob i nečekaných změn v trase. A k tomu ten zvláštní pocit, že ji v temnotě jeskyní někdo sleduje...

Buchanan v knize popisuje zánik Západu. Příčinu vidí ve ztrátě jeho hodnot, především potom ve ztrátě židovské a křesťanské víry. Vinu za to dává idejím čtyř myslitelů, "Čtyřem, kteří stvořili revoluci", marxistickým teoretikům G. Lukácsovi, Gramscimu, Adornovi a Marcusovi. Ti jsou podle něj zdrojem kulturní revoluce a pokračování studené války, kulturní války. Jejím důsledkem potom jsou pokles porodnosti (vymírání obyvatel Západu), masové přistěhovalectví ze zemí třetího světa, interrupce, antikoncepce a vytváření světové vlády. Statistická čísla uváděná v knize v případě České republiky, jejíž obyvatelstvo je v podstatě produktem této revoluce, patří k nejhorším v západním světě. Nesmírně poutavá kniha, kterou však čtenář může strávit pouze tehdy, zbaví-li se všech svých předsudků k náboženství a víře.

Je morálně oprávněné, aby medicína nejen léčila nemoci, ale i vylepšovala člověka? Věda by mohla v dohledné době zvýšit lidskou inteligenci, zlepšit paměť, prodloužit život a zpomalit stárnutí, a dokonce i zdokonalit náš charakter. V současné diskusi naneštěstí převládají extrémní pozice -- na jedné straně konzervatismus, varující před nástupem zdokonalených nadlidí, kteří si podmaní zbytek lidstva, na straně druhé nekritický optimismus, věřící v technologické řešení všech lidských problémů. Americký bioetik Allen Buchanan ve své čtivé knize odmítá jak konzervatismus, neboť lidský genom se stále vyvíjí a zásah do něj není přestupkem ani proti bohu, ani proti přírodě, tak přehnaný optimismus, který podceňuje nezamýšlené důsledky vylepšování.

In this dark and enchanting stand-alone fantasy from debut author Lynn Buchanan--complete with black and white illustrations and a full-wrap illustrated cover--discover a world centered around destructive, all-consuming monsters; the magical dolls designed to fight this force; and the artisans tasked with creating demon-slaying dolls. A touch cozy fantasy and a touch horror, The Dollmakers is perfect for fans of Studio Ghibli films, the works of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree, and readers of Juniper & Thorn and The Goblin Emperor.In the country called One, dollmakers are vital members of the community. An artisan’s doll is the height of society’s accomplishments, while a guard’s doll is the only thing standing between the people of One and the Shod: vicious, cobbled monstrosities that will tear apart any structure—living or dead, inanimate or otherwise—to add to their horde.Apprentice Shean of Pearl is a brilliant dollmaker. With her clever dolls, she intends to outsmart and destroy the Shod, once and for all—a destiny she’s worked her whole life toward accomplishing. But when the time comes for her dolls to be licensed, she’s told her work is too beautiful and delicate to fight. A statement that wounds and infuriates her; the Shod killed everyone she loved. How could her fate be anything but fighting them?In an attempt to help her see a new path for herself, Shean’s mentor sends her on a journey to the remote village called Web, urging her to glean some wisdom from Ikiisa, a reclusive and well-respected guard dollmaker. But Shean has another plan: if she can convince the village of Web of her talents, the Licensor Guild will have to reconsider and grant her a guard’s license. And what better way to convince them than challenging Ikiisa and instating herself as the official dollmaker of Web? Once she’s done that, proving her dolls’ worth in the fight against the Shod will be simple.As simple, that is, as calling the Shod to Web...

Co znamená být křesťan? Co odlišuje křesťanství od jiných vyznání? Co je společné křesťanům všech míst a všech dob? Rowan Williams neodpovídá výkladem věroučných článků, ale toho, co křesťané dělají: křtí - čtou Bibli - slaví večeři Páně - modlí se. Knížka jeho citlivě napsaných úvah, čerpající z pokladu společné křesťanské tradice, je přehledná a srozumitelná, současně však čtenáře zve na hlubinu a nespokojuje se s lacinými odpověďmi.

A wonderful husband, two beautiful children, a job she loves—Claire has it all. And then some. But lately, her world has started to feel uncertain. Her mother hovers more than a helicopter, her husband seems like a stranger, and her children are like characters in a movie. More concerning is that Claire is losing her memory. When she is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, Claire begins to fill the pages of a blank book with private memories and keepsakes. Soon, the book becomes the story of Claire - her passions, her sorrows, her joys, and her adventures in a life that refuses to disappear.
