Taking the Risk is Hilary Bradt''s engaging, insightful, amusing and sometimes alarming memoir about serendipitous adventures in travel and publishing. A travel industry trailblazer who co-founded Bradt Guides, Hilary looks back on 50 years of escapades, surprises, mishaps, disasters. and success. From her first solo trip aged three (on a British beach), she revisits six decades of hitch-hiking, feeding the travel habit by working abroad, and starting a successful travel-publishing company where knowing nothing proved a surprising asset. Barely into her twenties, Hilary Bradt thumbed lifts around the Middle East for three months before spending four years working and travelling in the US. Between 1973 and 1976 Hilary explored, and worked in, South America and Africa with her then husband George, often journeying through literally uncharted territory in their quest for new hiking routes. The discovery of an ancient trail to Machu Picchu unexpectedly inspired their first guidebook. From 1977 the pair wrote several backpacking guides, and set up Bradt Guides. This was just as well, because Hilary''s career in occupational therapy ended when potential employers noticed that time taken off for travel exceeded periods of employment. During the 1980s, Bradt Guides grew and became successful - but that didn''t stop Hilary travelling, including as a tour leader. Join Hilary as she relives the rigours of travel before the days of the internet or mobile phones, including smuggling her husband across an international border and frequently getting arrested despite efforts to be responsible tourists. Learn how Hilary''s lack of experience made the early days of publishing quite unlike those of any other successful publisher. Laugh (or cry) at Hilary''s ability to court media disasters while seeking the limelight, including waving around condoms on BBC TV. Taking the Risk comprises the collected stories of an inveterate, intrepid traveller whose joyous exploration of the world has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people - anyone who has ever owned a Bradt Guide. A unique book from a unique individual, it will delight anyone who has ever travelled or ever wondered what goes into making the books we read.

After all, she knows more than most how fragile people can be – and how easily they can be to break . . . Further praise for Fragile: ''Fragile is absolutely STUNNING, the dreamy atmosphere couples with Nell''s carnal love for Joe put me in mind of Barbara Vine . . .

A nightmarish slant on the world delivered expertly and with heart. Tension like cold steel. Characters you won''t forget. Sarah Hilary is a modern-day Highsmith.'' - Steve Cavanagh, author of The Thirteen ''A beguiling thriller of considerable ambition and ingenuity, Fragile marks Sarah Hilary as a twenty-first century du Maurier, a writer who plunges the depths of human nature, finding the darkest, most deviant corners, but also the fleeting hopes and brittle aspirations. This is a truly outstanding work of modern gothic.'' - Eva Dolan, author of Between Two Evils ''Highly original, beautifully written'' - Sharon Bolton, author of Now You See Me ''Sarah Hilary has created a beautifully written modern Gothic masterpiece, so full of intrigue and mysteries layered upon mysteries that the unravelling may well shred your nerves, in the best way possible'' - Liz Nugent, author of Skin Deep ''The writing is so elegant, so restrained, that it brings to mind Patricia Highsmith. Fragile is a very fine, and very creepy psychological thriller.'' - Lucy Atkins, author of Magpie Lane ''A gorgeously written, tense and atmospheric novel.

''Highly recommend - practical and full of human wisdom'' FINANCIAL TIMES''Brimming with ideas to transform the future'' KATE RAWORTH, author of DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS''An act of radical hope, radical listening and radical humility . . . I loved it'' RORY STEWARTWork, for decades, has been debated and discussed as a narrow economic category. Instead, Hilary Cottam identifies work as a cultural force at the heart of good lives, strong communities and a sense of a shared national destiny. Crucially, in these dramatic times, she shows how we can shape this force to meet technological change, our ecological crisis and the challenges of the world''s deep injustices. We can create a work revolution. Ambitious but rooted in the ideas of everyday experts - real workers from all walks of life - this is a realistic and hopeful book. Hilary Cottam has crossed the UK and the USA; she''s spent time in communities considered by outsiders as ''left behind'' and in places at the centre of financial and technological power. Drawing on a fascinating range of sources - historians, trade unionists, business leaders, philosophers and most originally, hours of her imaginative workshops with workers - Hilary Cottam boldly asks: how can we redesign work? Our challenges - political, social, economic and environmental - are tangled and growing. But so are the imaginative solutions. In this exciting, inspiring and optimistic book, Hilary shows us how we could work differently and live better.''So valuable . . . Hilary Cottam proposes a bold new vision of what the principles underlying ''good work'' might be'' MARIANA MAZZUCATO, UCL professor and author of MISSION ECONOMY ''Timely . . . guides the changes needed'' CARLOTA PEREZ''Exposes what motivates workers today - not the things most business leaders think - and shows how new thinking would benefit us all.

Temporary structures, such as scaffolding, barriers, and building sites, ensure the functioning of multiple processes, from construction and deconstruction to maintenance, guidance, and protection. Temporary Tecture presents a new perspective on this type of contemporary vernacular architecture—often overlooked in both public and professional discourse, despite its omnipresence. This new approach reveals that these “structures of necessity” provide an architectural language from which architects can learn in terms of adaptability, use of local resources, circular economy, and conceptual radicalism. Ultimately, it raises the question: How permanent should architectural solutions be in a continuously changing world? With contributions by Charlotte Malterre-Barthes, Jan De Vylder and Philip Ursprung Numerous photographs of global, temporary structures

In Inside Stories, Hilary Robertson reveals a multitude of ways to curate and arrange those objects and possessions that make up the stuff of life, from treasured artworks and decorative accessories to everyday objects such as hats, baskets and bicycles.In the first chapter, How to Arrange your Stuff, Hilary considers four different approaches to creating arrangements – intuitive, narrative, practical and curatorial—and shows how each one can be achieved. She considers the variety of display locations available within the home—walls, mantelpieces, windowsills, chests of drawers, tabletops—and suggests how to make the most of them with decorative vignettes. Next, in Stories Told by Real Homes, Hilary casts her stylist’s eye over interiors that fall into five different styles—Neatnik, Bohemian, Naturalist, Sculpture Vulture, and Noble Salvage. As she reveals, some people are magpies—they love stuff; finding, collecting, and displaying it—while their opposite, the minimalists, are on a mission to contain or tame it. The ideas in this book will appeal to magpies, minimalists, and everyone in between.

CD Album Vlastimil Třešňák, Temporary Quintet - Kiks (2022). Téměř deset let museli fanouškové Vlastimila Třešňáka čekat na nové písně - poslední jeho deska Alter ego vyšla v roce 2013. Kolekce třinácti nových skladeb, nazvaná neotřele a krátce Kiks, vznikla letos na jaře a každá z těchto písní je tradičně malé třešňákovské monodrama, někdy ironicky kousavé, jindy zahalené do surrealistické mlhy plné kódů k dešifrování. Pozorný posluchač objeví i jistou symboliku v návaznosti písní od prvního Kiksu až po povzdech nad chybějícím Václavem Havlem. Hudební podoba písní vznikala od začátku ve spolupráci autora s Josefem Štěpánkem a Janem Steinsdörferem, které v Temporary Quintetu doplnili basista Martin Lehký, bubeník Miloš Dvořáček a saxofonista Jan Štolba. Album Kiks nahrál ve studiu Soundevice Adam Pakosta. 1. Kiks 03:03 2. Chmaták 03:34 3. Arbajt 02:21 4. Čtvrtý komín Titanicu 02:47 5. Maestro Diabolo 03:21 6. Sv. Amnesie 03:31 7. Líné blues 02:15 8.

OLD GOD''S TIME (MARCH 2023), SEBASTIAN BARRY''S STUNNING NEW NOVEL, AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOWA stunning return from the prize-winning and best-selling author ofThe Secret Scripture Jack McNulty is a ''temporary gentleman'', an Irishman whose commission in the British army in the Second World War was never permanent. In 1957, sitting in his lodgings in Accra, he urgently sets out to write his story. He feels he cannot take one step further, or even hardly a breath, without looking back at all that has befallen him.He is an ordinary man, both petty and heroic, but he has seen extraordinary things. He has worked and wandered around the world - as a soldier, an engineer, a UN observer - trying to follow his childhood ambition to better himself. And he has had a strange and tumultuous marriage. Mai Kirwan was a great beauty of Sligo in the 1920s, a vivid mind, but an elusive and mysterious figure too. Jack married her, and shared his life with her, but in time she slipped from his grasp.A heart-breaking portrait of one man''s life - of his demons and his lost love - The Temporary Gentleman is, ultimately, a novel about Jack''s last bid for freedom, from the savage realities of the past and from himself.

V roce 1535 nechal kovářův syn Thomas Cromwell svoje skromné počátky dávno za sebou. Je prvním ministrem krále Jindřicha VIII., jeho vliv a majetek narůstaly s tím, jak stoupala hvězda Anny Boleynové, Jindřichovy druhé manželky. Kvůli ní se Jindřich rozešel s Římem a založil vlastní církev; země se však díky tomu dostala do nebezpečné izolace a Anna nedokázala splnit, co slibovala: porodit syna, který by byl pokračováním tudorovské linie.Při letní návštěvě Wolf Hall, domu rodiny Seymourových, Cromwell sleduje, jak král propadá lásce k tiché, obyčejné Janě. Ministr chápe, co všechno je v sázce - nejde jen o královo potěšení, ale také o bezpečnost země. V dusivé atmosféře dvorských klevet a sexuálního taktizování musí připravit "pravdu", která uspokojí Jindřicha a zabezpečí mu jeho vlastní kariéru. Ale krvavé divadlo posledních dní Annina života postihne i ministra a krále… V románu Předveďte mrtvé, jenž je pokračováním oceňované knihy Wolf Hall (Man Booker Prize za rok 2009, česky vydalo Argo v roce 2010) Hilary Mantelová zkoumá jednu z nejtajemnějších a nejděsivějších epizod anglických dějin: zkázu Anny Boleynové. Její nový román je odvážným obrazem tudorovské Anglie, který vrhá nové světlo i na moderní svět. Je to práce vynikající autorky na vrcholu sil, což dokazují i významná ocenění, kterých se románu dostalo: roku 2012 získala Hilary Mantelová jako vůbec první žena podruhé Man Bookerovu cenu a současně i cenu Costa Book Award za nejlepší román i nejlepší knihu roku 2012.

The blacksmith’s son from Putney emerges from the spring’s bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; he has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry’s regime to breaking point, Cromwell’s robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the future. But can a nation, or a person, shed the past like a skin? Do the dead continually unbury themselves? What will you do, the Spanish ambassador asks Cromwell, when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone close to him?With The Mirror and the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common man’s vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion and courage.A Guardian Book of the Year • A Times Book of the Year • A Daily Telegraph Book of the Year • A Sunday Times Book of the Year • A New Statesman Book of the Year • A Spectator Book of the Year Sunday Times Bestseller (08/03/2020)

Here we meet not just Mantel the Cromwell-catcher, but Mantel the quill-sharp critic of contemporary life'' The Times, Book of the YearTHE MAGNIFICENT FINAL BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE WOLF HALL TRILOGYAs well as her celebrated career as a novelist, Hilary Mantel long contributed to newspapers and journals, unspooling stories from her own life and illuminating the world as she found it. This strand of her writing was an integral part of how she thought of herself. ''Ink is a generative fluid,'' she explains. ''If you don''t mean your words to breed consequences, don''t write at all.'' A Memoir of My Former Self collects the finest of this writing over four decades. Mantel''s subjects are wide-ranging. She discusses nationalism and her own sense of belonging; our dream life flopping into our conscious life; the mythic legacy of Princess Diana; the many themes that feed into her novels - revolutionary France, psychics, Tudor England - and other novelists, from Jane Austen to V. S. Naipaul. She writes about her father and the man who replaced him; she writes fiercely and heartbreakingly about the battles with her health she endured as a young woman, and the stifling years she found herself living in Saudi Arabia. Here, too, is a selection of her film reviews - from When Harry Met Sally to RoboCop - and, published for the first time, her stunning Reith Lectures, which explore the process of art bringing history and the dead back to life.From her unique childhood to her all-consuming fascination with Thomas Cromwell that grew into the Wolf Hall Trilogy, A Memoir of My Former Self reveals the shape of Hilary Mantel''s life in her own dazzling words, ''messages from people I used to be.''

New Yorker cartoonist and author of Murder Book Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell returns with a riotous and radically candid comic memoir about snacks, connection, and developing a taste for freedom.From standup comedian, New Yorker cartoonist, and the author of Murder Book comes this fresh comics memoir about being a snacker in a world of foodies. With equal parts humor and unflinching honesty, Hilary traces her life story through food: from her childhood as the ultimate picky eater, her teenage and young adult years of disordered eating, and finally learning to love herself again. Punctuated throughout with ridiculous (but very real! and important!) snack recipes like "a baggie of goldfish" and "burnt toast," Campbell captures the reality of growing up in a woman's body in the '90s and '00s in how it shaped her life in work, friendship, and dating. Especially dating. Aren't we all seeking love, self-acceptance, and a good snack to get you through it? These hilarious stories of family, romance, and belonging prove that if food can isolate us, it also has the power to connect us to what matters most.

A funny, fresh, and brilliantly insightful collection of stories from a beloved writer, with a new introduction by Francine ProseJohanna Kaplan’s beautifully written stories first burst on the literary scene in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Today they have retained all of their depth, surprise, and humor—their simultaneously scathing, hilarious, and compassionate insight into character and behavior. From Miriam, home from school with the measles, to Louise, the daughter of a family that fled Vienna for the Dominican Republic, to Naomi, a young psychiatrist, her heroines are fierce, tender, funny, and cuttingly smart.At once specific to a particular period, place, and milieu—mainly, Jewish New York in the decades after World War II—Kaplan’s stories resonate with universal significance. In this new collection, which includes both early and later stories, unforgettably vivid characters are captured in all of their forceful presence and singularity, their foolishness and their wisdom, their venality and their nobility, while, hovering in the background, the inexorable passage of time and the unending pull of memory render silent judgment.In its pitch-perfect command of dialogue matched with interwoven subtleties of insight and feeling and a masterful control of language, Loss of Memory Is Only Temporary is itself a timeless collection of the finest work by one of the most extraordinary talents of our age.

"Guest workers of the United Arab Emirates embody multiple worlds and identities and long for home in a fantastical debut work of fiction, winner of the inaugural Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing.… An enchanting, unparalleled anthem of displacement and repatriation." —Kirkus ReviewsIn the United Arab Emirates, foreign nationals constitute over 80 percent of the population. Brought in to construct the towering monuments to wealth that punctuate the skylines of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, this labor force works without the rights of citizenship, endures miserable living conditions, and is ultimately forced to leave the country. Until now, the humanitarian crisis of the so-called “guest workers” of the Gulf has barely been addressed in fiction. With his stunning, mind-altering debut novel Temporary People, Deepak Unnikrishnan delves into their histories, myths, struggles, and triumphs. Combining the irrepressible linguistic invention of Salman Rushdie and the satirical vision of George Saunders, Unnikrishnan presents twenty-eight linked stories that careen from construction workers who shapeshift into luggage and escape a labor camp, to a woman who stitches back together the bodies of those who’ve fallen from buildings in progress, to a man who grows ideal workers designed to live twelve years and then perish—until they don’t, and found a rebel community in the desert. With this polyphony, Unnikrishnan brilliantly maps a new, unruly global English. Giving substance and identity to the anonymous workers of the Gulf, he highlights the disturbing ways in which “progress” on a global scale is bound up with dehumanization.

Tento povídkový soubor uznávané a oceňované autorky vyvolal v Británii skandál - jedná se sice o sbírku textů vesměs publikovaných časopisecky, ale titulní povídka vyšla v tomto souboru poprvé. Mantelová se za znevážení britské ikony dočkala nevybíravých útoků, jenomže kritici jako by nebrali na vědomí, že v povídce se sice objevuje Margaret Thatcherová a míří se na ni puškou, ale že Mantelové jde o něco jiného - popsat křehkou vazbu mezi nesourodými hrdiny povídky. Křehké pouto mezi lidmi, důvěrnost, která se někdy přiblíží k lásce, ale může se snadno rozplynout, je ostatně společným tématem všech povídek tohoto souboru, byť se odehrávají na rozličných místech a mezi rozličnými aktéry. Hilary Mantelová se narodila roku 1952 v Derbyshiru. Studovala na univerzitě v Sheffi eldu, prošla řadou zaměstnání, krom Anglie žila v Africe a v Saúdské Arábii, a exotické prostředí se pak objevilo v jejích knihách. První román začala psát už v roce 1974; pracovala na něm pět let a pak ho odložila; vyšel až roku 1991 (A Place of Greater Safety). Jeho hlavními hrdiny byli představitelé francouzské revoluce Robespierre a Danton. Mantelová tu poprvé zkoumala soukromé životy historických osobností, což je přístup, který použila i v románech Wolf Hall a Předveďte mrtvé, za které v letech 2009 a 2013 získala prestižní Man Booker Prize.

Nebo své herce opravdu inspiroval a vybudoval nejlepší činoherní soubor, který tvořil základ činohry Národního divadla ještě v 60. letech minulého století? Příběh jeho života a díla, tvořících výjimečnou jednotu, dovoluje nahlédnout tam, kde se tvoří předpoklady pro to, co pak obecenstvo vidí na jevišti: do složitých vztahů divadelního zákulisí, divadla a kritiky a samozřejmě divadla a doby, která nebyla jednoduchá. Tak předkládaná kniha nabízí i důležitý pohled na kulturní poměry první Československé republiky, která za Hilarova života vznikla a skončila tři roky po jeho smrti.

První dva svazky - Wolf Hall a Předveďte mrtvé - líčí Cromwellův vzestup a okolnosti, za kterých se postupně stal Jindřichovým nepostradatelným rádcem.

American Book Fest Best Health Book (Mental Health & Psychology) Award Winner 2018Cutting-edge and accessible psychotherapy to put us back in touch with our emotions - and fast''I loved it ... I have drawn my own picture of the change triangle - both fascinating and useful'' - Cathy RentzenbrinkWe were all taught that our thoughts affect our emotions, but in truth it is largely the other way around: we have to experience our emotions to truly understand our thoughts, and our full selves. This is why we should think not only about cognitive behavioural therapy or medication, but also about our emotions, when addressing psychological suffering. In It''s Not Always Depression, pioneering psychotherapist Hilary Jacobs Hendel reveals the most effective techniques for putting us back in touch with the emotions we too often deny - methods which can be used by anyone, any time, anywhere. Drawing on stories from her own practice, she sheds light on the core emotions (such as joy, sadness and fear), defences (anything we do to avoid feeling) and inhibitory emotions (anxiety, shame and guilt), and how understanding their interaction can help us return to mental well-being.This is the basis of ''accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy:'' it accelerates healing through having an emotional experience in the here and now. It allows you to reacquaint yourself with your feelings, to recover a more authentic self and to be more calm, curious and connected.Winner of Nautilus Silver for Personal Growth Books 2019

Our bestselling social work textbook is back again. Taking you right back to basics, this book explains and analyses key theories in a really accessible way before going on to discuss, in detail, how theory can be incorporated into every day social work practice. Each chapter contains activities with step-by-step commentaries for discussion, self-analysis and critical reflection. The book very loosely follows the shape of a human life, beginning with a birth and ending with a death, but many of the chapters deal with ideas and topics that are relevant at many different stages of life, such as bereavement, attachment and learning. Its focus throughout is on psychosocial development – so psychological development within a social context – rather than physical development. This book is by Chris Beckett, a social work academic and novelist who previously worked in child and family social work, and Hilary Taylor, a psychotherapist and former social work academic who used to work in the field of social work with adults. It is the go-to guide for anyone studying for careers in the helping professions, such as nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, teachers and counsellors. It′s also supported by an online case study resource. Follow the lives of people living in the fictional London Borough of Bexford, with 12 extended case studies to help you explore key issues and themes raised in the book as well as develop the skill of linking theory to practice.

Father Angwin, the town’s cynical priest, has lost his faith, and wants nothing more than to be left alone. Sister Philomena strains against the monotony of convent life and the pettiness of her fellow nuns. The rest of the town goes about their lives in a haze, a never-ending procession of grim, grey days stretching ahead of them.Yet all of that is about to change. A strange visitor appears one stormy night, bringing with him the hint, the taste of something entirely new, something unknown. But who is Fludd? An angel come to shake the Fetherhoughtonians from their stupor, to reawaken Father Angwin’s faith, to show Philomena the nature of love? Or is he the devil himself, a shadowy wanderer of the darkest places in the human heart?Full of dry wit, compassionate characterisations and cutting insight, Fludd is a brilliant gem of a book, and one of Hilary Mantel’s most original works.

A century after Samuel Clemens’s death, Mark Twain thrives. One way fans still celebrate the first true American writer and his work is by visiting any number of Mark Twain destinations. They believe they can learn something unique by visiting the places where he lived. Mark Twain’s Homes and Literary Tourism untangles the complicated ways that Clemens’s houses, now museums, have come to tell the stories that they do about Twain and, in the process, reminds us that the sites themselves are the products of multiple agendas and, in some cases, unpleasant histories. Hilary Iris Lowe leads us through four Twain homes, beginning at the beginning—Florida, Missouri, where Clemens was born. Today the site is simply a concrete pedestal missing its bust, a plaque, and an otherwise-empty field. Though the original cabin where he was born likely no longer exists, Lowe treats us to an overview of the history of the area and the state park challenged with somehow marking this site. Next, we travel with Lowe to Hannibal, Missouri, Clemens’s childhood home, which he saw become a tourist destination in his own lifetime. Today mannequins remind visitors of the man that the boy who lived there became and the literature that grew out of his experiences in the house and little town on the Mississippi. Hartford, Connecticut, boasts one of Clemens’s only surviving adulthood homes, the house where he spent his most productive years. Lowe describes the house’s construction, its sale when the high cost of living led the family to seek residence abroad, and its transformation into the museum. Lastly, we travel to Elmira, New York, where Clemens spent many summers with his family at Quarry Farm. His study is the only room at this destination open to the public, and yet, tourists follow in the footsteps of literary pilgrim Rudyard Kipling to see this small space. Literary historic sites pin their authority on the promise of exclusive insight into authors and texts through firsthand experience. As tempting as it is to accept the authenticity of Clemens’s homes, Mark Twain’s Homes and Literary Tourism argues that house museums are not reliable critical texts but are instead carefully constructed spaces designed to satisfy visitors. This volume shows us how these houses’ portrayals of Clemens change frequently to accommodate and shape our own expectations of the author and his work. Â
