The Magic Kingdom and the Meaning of Life - Adam Kadlac

What truths and life lessons can we take away from a seemingly trivial theme park in Orlando, Florida? Father and philosopher Adam Kadlac reflects on his own visits to Walt Disney World, arguing that Disney theme parks are a remarkably fruitful environment in which to reflect on the human condition. On the one hand, engagement with the worlds of Disney is a pervasive feature of many people s everyday experience. On the other hand, the fantastical nature of Disney theme parks casts light on aspects of our lives that may otherwise seem unremarkable. If, on a day out at the Magic Kingdom, we pause to absorb our surroundings, our thoughts can quickly turn to all sorts of important topics and questions: authenticity and pleasure; what it means for corporations to play such a large role in our culture; whether nostalgia is always bad; and, of course, princesses (so, so many princesses. The Magic Kingdom and the Meaning of Life will challenge Disney lovers and sceptics alike to think more deeply about the things that matter to them.

A pitch-black crime comedy from two of the hottest thriller writers on either side of the Atlantic, Supermax is a bloody, bawdy odyssey of drug dealing, adultery, and murder for fans of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho.When a small-time businessman who’s a legend in his own mind (that would be Max) hatches a plan with his sexpot secretary (that’s Angela) to murder his wife and live happily ever after, you might think everything would go smoothly – but Max and Angela are in for the ride of their lives, as an escalating series of bad decisions and worse luck plunges them into a tsunami of crime and depravity featuring IRA hitmen, an aspiring serial killer, a wheelchair-bound blackmailer, trigger-happy drug dealers, and the warring factions in one of the world’s deadliest prisons. Award-winning authors Ken Bruen (JACK TAYLOR) and Jason Starr (THE NEXT TIME I DIE) set out to write the wildest crime saga of all time, and the three novels that resulted – originally published as BUST, SLIDE, and THE MAX – earned rave reviews and nominations for the Barry and Anthony Awards. Long unavailable in their original print editions, these cult classics are now collected for the first time ever in a single volume, bringing Max and Angela’s high-octane odyssey back to blow the minds of a new generation of readers.

Last Titans: Churchill and de Gaulle - Vinen Richard

Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle were thrown together by war. They incarnated the resistance of Britain and France to the existential threat from Nazi Germany, and their ultimate victory over Hitler has ensured their achievements will never be forgotten. But, as The Last Titans: Churchill and de Gaulle shows, that is only a part of a complex story. Both men influenced their countries, and the world around them, long after the war was won.There was a paradox in the parallel and intertwined lives of these extraordinary men. De Gaulle – tall, gauche and incorruptible – exhibited qualities often associated with the English. Churchill – short, charming, witty and a bon vivant – resembled the quintessential politician of the French Third Republic. Their working relationship was rarely smooth, but they appreciated each other s stature: de Gaulle said Churchill was the great artist of a great history , while Churchill recognised de Gaulle as l homme du destin .Wolfson Prize-winning historian Richard Vinen explores what made these men exceptional and how profoundly they were influenced by their national cultures. Beyond personal intrigue, the book makes a wider point that Britain and France are both haunted by perceptions of past greatness. Vinen retraces the paths of two leaders who once helmed superpowers but lived to see their nations weakened by two world wars and the loss of empires.

Basque Country and Navarre - Murray Stewart

This new, thoroughly updated, third edition of The Basque Country and Navarre, Bradt s award-winning guidebook, remains the most in-depth guide to a multi-lingual, multi-cultural borderland that is neither Spain nor France, but straddles the Pyrenees, mountains that divide the two countries. Bradt s guide offers real insights into a profound regional identity, uncovering the peculiarities which imbue the area with intrigue and takes you way beyond the delightful, well-known cities into the heart of the beautiful Basque countryside.Deep-seated Basque traditions, singular cuisine, world-class wine, strange sports, unique language, bold art and architecture all converge to showcase a land that continues to mystify and reveal itself the more you visit. Secluded valleys and rugged mountains, wild coastlines and the vestiges of industry long gone provide a strange mix that pays homage to a troubled past, a lively present and a constant reinvention that promises an exciting future for the Basques. Large and sparsely populated, little known and little visited, neighbouring Navarre offers natural attractions ranging from high Pyrenees to arid semi-desert. This former kingdom s troublesome history is waymarked by lonely hilltop castles, but only in the frenetic, bull-running days of Pamplona s San Fermín festival does it announce itself noisily on the world stage, welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors to Ernest Hemingway s favourite party town.With advice on where to walk, cycle, horseride, surf and birdwatch accompanying traditional listings of where to stay and eat, author Murray Stewart guides travellers through this increasingly popular area. Find the best pintxos (tapas) and txakoli wine, the finest chuletón (beef chop) and the freshest fish. From elegant Biarritz, via the French Basque Pyrénées, to the Navarran badlands of Bardenas Reales, travel to fascinating, less-visited places that host thrilling local festivals. New elements in this edition include a host of elegant hotels in San Sebastián, the city-on-the-beach, transport improvements, new restaurants serving culinary specialities, a major reconfiguration of Bilbao s Bellas Artes museum and constantly evolving wine tourism opportunities. Whether you are a hiker or surfer, foodie or cyclist, spiritualist or golfer, let Bradt s The Basque Country and Navarre help you enjoy a fascinating, rewarding holiday.

Talismans and Tarot - Lori Lytle

Talismans and Tarot offers tarot lovers a new way to add power to their practice! By combining magic, rituals, and the use of talismans alongside the cards, readers will find support in manifesting their goals, dreams, and desires. As our ancestors did before us, we put our faith in lucky charms and talismans. Maybe you have a protective charm like a guardian angel pendant or an evil eye. Perhaps it is a family heirloom, a crystal, a small figurine, a foreign coin, or another fascinating object that brings you comfort and luck. We adorn ourselves with symbolic images and carry talismans because we hope in some way to improve our lives and reach our goals. We also turn to these touchstones when we are fearful or in need of comfort. Or when we’re inspired or ambitious and want to believe that anything is possible. Lovers of tarot know that the cards inspire with those same intentions. Incorporating talismans with tarot reading offers a powerful and lasting impact. It is a magical combination that helps to amplify intentions and attract positive energy. It enables you to carry the power of a tarot reading with you every day as it supports and guides you toward manifesting your intentions. Talismans and Tarot offers guidance for hands-on practices that include setting intentions, choosing and consecrating your talisman, and when and how to do readings. Readers will learn to confidently work their magic in the way that most resonates with them. Lori Lytle offers a unique approach to tarot that inspires, guides, and supports the reader while empowering them to take impactful action toward their goals.
