Should We Abolish Household Debts? - Johnna Montgomerie

We live in a culture of credit. As wages have stagnated, we’ve seen a dramatic surge in private borrowing across the western world; increasing numbers of households are sucked into a hopeless vortex of spiralling debt, fuelled by exploitative lending. In this book Johnna Montgomerie argues that the situation is chronically dysfunctional, both individually and collectively. She shows that abolishing household debts can put an end to austerity and to the unsustainable forward march of debt-dependent growth. She combines astute economic analysis with the elements of an accessible guide to practical policy solutions such as extending unconventional monetary policy to the household sector, providing pragmatic and affordable refinancing options, and writing off the most pernicious elements of household debt. This framework, she contends, can help us to make our economy fairer and to tackle both the housing crisis and accelerating inequality.

Samantha Irby makes staying in feel like like a luxury, and reminds you that going out is actually quite annoying. I laughed out loud so much reading this -- I honestly couldn''t be more in awe of her.'' Sara PascoeStaring down the barrel of her fortieth year, Samantha Irby is confronting the ways her life has changed since the days she could work a full 11 hour shift on 4 hours of sleep, change her shoes and put mascara on in the back of a moving cab and go from drinks to dinner to the club without a second thought. Recently, things are more ''Girls Gone Mild.'' In Wow, No Thank You Irby discusses the actual nightmare of living in a rural idyll, weighs in on body negativity (loving yourself is a full-time job with shitty benefits) and poses the essential question: Sure sex is fun but have you ever googled a popular meme?''Samantha Irby is the king of sparkling misanthropy and tender, loving dread.''

Cathy Earnshaw or Jane Eyre?Petrova or Posy?Scarlett or Melanie?Lace or Valley of the Dolls?On a pilgrimage to Wuthering Heights, Samantha Ellis found herself arguing with her best friend about which heroine was best: Jane Eyre or Cathy Earnshaw. She was all for wild, passionate Cathy; but her friend found Cathy silly, a snob, while courageous Jane makes her own way.And that’s when Samantha realised that all her life she’d been trying to be Cathy when she should have been trying to be Jane.So she decided to look again at her heroines – the girls, women, books that had shaped her ideas of the world and how to live. Some of them stood up to the scrutiny (she will always love Lizzy Bennet); some of them most decidedly did not (turns out Katy Carr from What Katy Did isn’t a carefree rebel, she’s a drip). There were revelations (the real heroine of Gone with the Wind? It''s Melanie), joyous reunions (Anne of Green Gables), poignant memories (Sylvia Plath) and tearful goodbyes (Lucy Honeychurch). And then there was Jilly Cooper...How To Be A Heroine is Samantha’s funny, touching, inspiring exploration of the role of heroines, and our favourite books, in all our lives – and how they change over time, for better or worse, just as we do.

Diary of an Apprentice Astronaut - Samantha Cristoforetti

‘I read a lot of writings by astronauts in my research for Orbital, but this was my go-to. It''s written with clarity, generosity, humour, humility and heart’ Samantha Harvey ''Today I woke up on Earth. And I will fall asleep in space''In space the sun rises and sets 16 times a day. You fly over every sea, every mountain and desert, every city and every port. The most ordinary things -- eating, sleeping, brushing your teeth or cutting your hair -- have to be relearned, until they become familiar again. This is the story of Samantha Cristoforetti''s incredible journey to becoming an astronaut, and her journey beyond Earth.Her voyage as an apprentice astronaut began when she was in her early thirties: five years of intense training around the world, from Houston to Japan to the legendary Star City in Russia. Countless hours spent in centrifuges, spaceship simulators and under water for spacewalk practice. Then, one day, a rocket was waiting for her on the launch pad. And after eight minutes of wild ascent, she was on orbit, crunched up with her two crewmates in a tiny spaceship that took them to the International Space Station.With honesty and warmth, Cristoforetti chronicles the two hundred days she spent on the ISS, the joys and challenges of being in an extraordinary place, from the sublime sight of seeing Earth for the first time to more unusual concerns, such as mastering the art of floating. How do you find your bearings when there is no up and down? What is it like to run in weightlessness? And how do you cook in space?This is an enthralling, inspiring and surprisingly down-to-earth story about what it really takes to pursue your dreams.

When Grandma Burnt Her Bra - Samantha Tidy

In When Grandma Burnt Her Bra, author Samantha Tidy and illustrator Aśka depict the world as seen by a child whose own grandma, a loud and proud feminist, was part of the revolution that now benefits us all. Readers of all types will enjoy this humorous story that plays on how children hear stories and reproduce them in their minds. The narrative uses dinosaurs slowly invading the backyard (and the story itself) to convey the shift across time in the fight for women’s equality and rights — taking the story all the way back to a time when people lived in caves and stone-age attitudes dominated. This unashamedly feminist text uses humour, history, the childhood perception of age, underwear and the unexpected appearance of dinosaurs to broach a tricky subject without casting blame. The book communicates that across history, both men and women (as depicted in the illustrations) have broken down barriers that women should no longer need to face. It conveys carefully and quirkily the complex message that things were not always equal — and that they are not yet equal –—but the continued fight for equality lies with each new generation. The call to action is to carry the flame forward.

Oceans under Glass - Samantha Muka

A welcome dive into the world of aquarium craft that offers much-needed knowledge about undersea environments. Atlantic coral is rapidly disappearing in the wild. To save the species, they will have to be reproduced quickly in captivity, and so for the last decade conservationists have been at work trying to preserve their lingering numbers and figure out how to rebuild once-thriving coral reefs from a few survivors. Captive environments, built in dedicated aquariums, offer some hope for these corals. This book examines these specialized tanks, charting the development of tank craft throughout the twentieth century to better understand how aquarium modeling has enhanced our knowledge of the marine environment. Aquariums are essential to the way we understand the ocean. Used to investigate an array of scientific questions, from animal behavior to cancer research and climate change, they are a crucial factor in the fight to mitigate the climate disaster already threatening our seas. To understand the historical development of this scientific tool and the groups that have contributed to our knowledge about the ocean, Samantha Muka takes up specialty systems—including photographic aquariums, kriesel tanks (for jellyfish), and hatching systems—to examine the creation of ocean simulations and their effect on our interactions with underwater life. Lively and engaging, Oceans under Glass offers a fresh history about how the aquarium has been used in modern marine biology and how integral it is to knowing the marine world.

Orbity - Samantha Harveyová - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Jak vypadá den, během něhož člověk vidí šestnáct východů a západů slunce?Posádku vesmírné stanice, která obíhá kolem modré planety ve vzdálenosti několika set kilometrů, tvoří šestice astronautů: čtyři muži a dvě ženy. Američan, Japonka, Ital, Angličanka a dva Rusové. Vznášejí se a otáčejí, nohama vzhůru i hlavou dolů – a to všechno za ustavičného letu rychlostí skoro třicet tisíc kilometrů za hodinu. Co se jim honí hlavou, o čem sní a čeho se obávají tváří v tvář rozpínajícímu se vesmíru? Jak prožívají nevšední výhled na rodnou planetu a nakolik to změnilo jejich smýšlení o lidstvu, Bohu, životu či smrti? Ustojí jejich psychika dlouhotrvající absenci rodiny, běžných výdobytků civilizace i zemské tíže? Nakolik je devítiměsíční pobyt na naší oběžné dráze změní fyzicky? A co až se vrátí na Zemi – jak vylíčit tu nevýslovnou krásu i hrůzu nekonečna, jak sdílet onu mimořádnou zkušenost? Přijmou je pozemšťané znovu mezi sebe, anebo se z nich stanou vyděděnci? Poeticky laděný román, jenž v roce 2024 získal prestižní Bookerovu cenu. Uznávaná britská autorka v něm sugestivně líčí pocity a vjemy několika zástupců lidské rasy, shlížejících z nebes na svou překrásnou a křehkou planetu. „Samantha Harveyová napsala prazvláštně krásné a naprosto jedinečné dílo.“ – The New Yorker „Jedna z autorek s nejvytříbenějším stylem ve Velké Británii.“ – The Guardian„Virginia Woolfová své generace.“ – The TelegraphMluvili už několikrát o pocitu, který mívají. O pocitu, že splývají. Jako by se nemohli oddělit ani sami od sebe, ani od vesmírné lodi. Ať už bývali kýmkoli, než sem přišli, jakkoli rozdílné byly jejich cesty vzdělávání nebo původu, jejich pohnutky či charakterové vlastnosti, ať už pocházejí z jakékoli země nebo ať se jejich národy škorpily sebevíc, jemná síla jejich vesmírného plavidla je všechny staví naroveň. Jsou součástí choreografie pohybů a funkcí kosmického tělesa, zatímco to sehrává dokonalou choreografii s planetou. Anton – tichý, se suchým humorem, sentimentální, který zcela nepokrytě pláče u filmů i při obzvlášť dojemných scenériích za oknem – Anton je srdcem kosmického plavidla. Pietro je jeho myslí, Roman (současný kapitán, zručný a zdatný, umí cokoli spravit, ovládá robotickou paži na milimetr přesně, připojuje k síti i nejsložitější desky s plošnými spoji) je jeho rukama, Shaun je jeho duší (mají ho tu proto, aby je všechny přesvědčil o tom, že mají duši), Čie (metodická, spravedlivá, moudrá, nelze ji přesně definovat nebo uchopit) je jeho svědomím, Nell (s osmilitrovým objemem plic zkušené potápěčky) je jeho dechem. – ukázka z knihy

Hannah Arendt - Hill Samantha

Hannah Arendt is one of the most renowned political thinkers of the twentieth century and her work has never been more relevant than it is today. Born in Germany in 1906, Arendt published her first book at the age of 23, before turning away from the world of academic philosophy to reckon with the rise of the Third Reich. After the War, Arendt became one of the most prominent - and controversial - public intellectuals of her time, publishing influential works such as The Origins of Totalitarianism, The Human Condition and Eichmann in Jerusalem. Samantha Rose Hill weaves together new biographical detail, archival documents, poems and correspondence to reveal a woman whose passion for the life of the mind was nourished by her love of the world.

''Beautifully written, intimate and intellectually fascinating'' Nathan Filer‘This book represents, genuinely, a moment of ground-breaking importance for how we think about nature, access and wellbeing in late capitalism’ Dr Alice Tarbuck ‘Impeccably researched . . . A call to us all to find a place within the simplicity and complexity of nature’ Lara Maiklem, bestselling author of MudlarkingEverybody is talking about the healing properties of nature. Hospitals are being retrofitted with gardens, and forests reimagined as wellbeing centres. On the Shetland Islands, it is possible to walk into a doctor’s surgery with anxiety or depression, and walk out with a prescription for nature.Where has this come from, and what does ‘going to nature’ mean? Where is it – at the end of a garden, beyond the tarmac fringes of a city, at the summit of a mountain? Drawing on history, science, literature and art, Samantha Walton shows that the nature cure has deep roots – but, as we face an unprecedented crisis of mental health, social injustice and environmental devastation, the search for it is more urgent now than ever.Everybody Needs Beauty engages seriously with the connection between nature and health, while scrutinising the harmful trends of a wellness industry that seeks to exploit our relationship with the natural world. In doing so, this book explores how the nature cure might lead us towards a more just and radical way of life: a real means of recovery, for people, society and nature.
