Anthony Powell earned a reputation as a literary giant within the generation of Waugh, Orwell and Greene, best known for his twelve-volume work A Dance to the Music of Time. These memoirs reveal Powell - the man and author - providing an insider's view of the British literary scene and social elite from the 1920s to the 1980s. In these pages, Powell observes the obscenity trial sparked by Lady Chatterley's Lover, and Shirley Temple's libel suit after Graham Greene reviewed Wee Willie Winkie with 'more than his usual verve'.Throughout, Powell paints vivid, witty and superbly written portraits of his contemporaries, other authors including Kingsley Amis, V.S. Naipaul, T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf.Featuring an illuminating new introduction by Louisa Young, TO KEEP THE BALL ROLLING is the abridged version of Anthony Powell's four volumes of memoir, first published between 1976 and 1982.

Georgia Author of the Year, nomineeAmber Hollibaugh Award for LGBTQ+ Social Justice Writing, FinalistIn this powerful debut memoir, Neesha Powell-Ingabire chips away at coastal Georgia’s facade of beaches and golden marshes to recover undertold Black history alongside personal and family stories. In May of 2020, Neesha Powell-Ingabire’s hometown became infamous after a viral video spread of white vigilantes killing a Black man named Ahmaud Arbery. The small coastal city of Brunswick, Georgia became synonymous with this tragedy, which, along with the police murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, spurred an international movement that summer to end white supremacy. Neesha Powell-Ingabire, a millennial journalist, essayist, and organizer, grew up in Brunswick feeling alienated as a Black queer and disabled girl in a fraught racial and political environment. Come By Here: A Memoir in Essays from Georgia’s Geechee Coast traces the genealogy of systemic racial violence while paying homage to the area’s long history of Black resistance and culture keeping. Powell-Ingabire probes her personal connection to past and present: the victorious campaign to remove Brunswick’s Confederate monument out of a public park, modern echoes of ancestral practices such as farming, fishing, and basket weaving, the fight for Geechee land in Sapelo ...

A bold guide for connecting across differences—even those that seem impossible“Wise and visionary, powell helps us find the courage to forge connections with others, the earth, and ourselves in order to transform the world from the inside out.” —Valarie Kaur, bestselling author of See No Stranger and Sage WarriorWe don’t want to live in a society in turmoil. In fact, 93 percent of people in the US want to reduce divisiveness, and 86 percent believe it’s possible to disagree in a healthy way. Yet with increasing political and social fragmentation, many of us don’t know how to move past our differences. Civil rights scholar john a. powell presents an actionable path through “bridging” that helps us communicate, coexist, and imagine a new story for our shared future where we all belong.With inimitable warmth and vision, powell offers a framework for building cohesion and solidarity between disparate beliefs and backgrounds. Bridging is more than a discrete list of actions to follow—it’s a mindset we can develop to help us foster belonging and connection. Key elements of the bridging mindset include:• Understanding how deeply “othering” shapes our world, priming us to see difference of any kind—race, gender, political orientation, etcetera—as a threat• ...

''The Temporary would be worth reading for its self-regarding, utterly thoughtless heroine alone.'' Financial Times''An exquisitely written gem.'' Vogue''The wit, dialogue and the uncomfortable perception brought to bear on human relations make The Temporary such a fine achievement.'' SpectatorRalph Loman works in an unsatisfying job, for a free London newspaper, when Francine Snaith, a temporary secretary for a corporate finance firm, unexpectedly crosses his path at a party. Her beauty ignites a blaze of excitement in his troubled heart. But Francine is ravenous for attention, driven by a thirst for conquest, and when Ralph tries politely to extricate himself, he finds he is bound by chains of consequence from which it seems there is no escape. The Temporary paints a merciless portrait of the cut and thrust of modern romance, work and life.

Exploring the creation and impact of Baden-Powell''s South African Constabulary during and after the Boer War.This work begins in August 1900 during the war in South Africa, when mounted Boer commandos ranging across the veldt superseded pitched battles of massed armies and heavy weaponry. Thanks to his flair for organization, Baden-Powell is asked to create a mounted force with a combined military and police role, and will be answerable to the Commander-in-Chief and the civil High Commissioner.Rejecting Army models of command, Baden-Powell creates the South African Constabulary (SAC) with a small number of officers, dividing it into Troops of 100 men, then sub-dividing again into sections and the key working unit – the squad of six men under a corporal. To get the caliber of recruit he wants, the SAC will be better paid than the Army and he expects the men to be motivated by a code of honor, to be self-reliant and ‘handy men’ able to tackle any kind of work. Most recruits come from the UK, but in Canada, however, the Governor General intervenes and botches selection.The SAC’s effectiveness comes to light in this book – the first that deals with its creation and development; its wartime ...

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

V této publikaci vám předkládáme překlad světově proslulého projevu anglického politika Enocha Powella, v kterém veřejně varoval Angličany před masovou migrací neevropského obyvatelstva na Britské ostrovy a před tzv. „antidiskriminačními“ zákony, které zvýhodňují nebělošské cizince a diskriminují původní bílé obyvatele. Fakticky se pod rouškou boje s rasismem začaly omezovat občanská práva původních obyvatel, například právo odmítnout někomu pronajmout svou nemovitost, když jste ji deklarovali k pronájmu. Pokud by úřady dospěly k názoru, že vaše odmítnutí bylo motivováno diskriminací, tak jste mohli být přísně potrestáni bez ohledu na to, jestli jste opravdu byli motivování rasistickým postojem nebo jen obavou z možného násilí zájemce o pronájem.Tento projev zlidověl pod názvem „řeky krve“. Paradoxně byl projev pronesen v Birminghamu, který je dnes považován za město již prakticky bez převažující anglické kultury – což je výsledek několik desítek let trvající masové migrace neevropského obyvatelstva.Jen pro ilustraci: v roce 2021 se k muslimskému vyznání hlásilo 341 811 obyvatel Birminghamu, což představuje 29,9 % celkové populace města. Dle sčítání lidu v Anglii a Walesu, bez Skotska a Severního Irska, jsou výsledky následující: Počet muslimů v Anglii a Walesu vzrostl z odhadovaných 226.000 v roce 1971 na přibližně 3,9 milionu v roce 2021, což představovalo 6,5 % ...

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.

Mary Jo Powell''s Texas begins with a panorama of the vast Texas landscape, from the Piney Woods to Big Bend Country, before turning to the people of the land now called Texas. She begins with those who inhabited the area before the Spanish arrived, the story of the Alamo, the movement from independent nation to state, the role of slavery in Texas, the state''s role in the Civil War and reconstruction, and how the state survived both World Wars and the Depression. Along the way, Powell addresses some uniquely Texan phenomena, such as the myth and realities of the Texas cowboy, how the discovery of oil and logging changed the land and its identity, and the rancorous and spirited world of Texas politics, which made its mark on US politics with the rise of Lyndon B. Johnson and the Bush family. It also introduces readers to the spicier side of the state, including its food, the movies it inspired, its music, and its writers.

This book by the author of Why Am I Afraid to Love? contains insights on self-awareness, personal growth and communication with others. Why do people continually hide their real selves from the people around them? Why are so many so insecure and afraid to open up? The answer, explains John Powell, is that maturity is reached by communicating and interacting with others. This book considers the consequences our real self faces if no one else ever finds out what we are like. In this enduring classic, the companion to Why Am I Afraid to Love?, John Powell explains how to be more emotionally open, and shows how people adopt roles and play psychological games to protect their inner selves. The courage to be our real selves can be developed, and then we can begin to grow. Now newly designed for a fresh audience, Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am? is as relevant as it has been for twenty years. With a proven track record, it continues to speak to the needs and aspirations of people today. It is best included in self help sections of general bookshops, but also has a religious appeal.

''A Scout is a Friend to all''An amalgam of imperial myth, borrowed tips on health and hygiene, and object lessons in woodcraft, the 1908 text of Robert Baden-Powell''s Scouting for Boys is the original blueprint and ''self-instructor'' of the Boy Scout Movement. One of the all-time bestsellers in the English-speaking world, this primer of ''yarns and pictures'' constitutes probably the most influential manual for youth ever published. Yet the book is at the same time a roughly composed hodge-podge of jingoist lore and tracker legend, padded with lengthy quotations from adventure fiction and Baden-Powell''s own autobiography, and seamed through with the multiple anxieties of its time: fears of degeneration, concerns about masculinity and self-restraint, and invasion paranoia.Elleke Boehmer''s edition of Scouting for Boys reprints the original text and illustrations, and her fine introduction investigates a book that has been cited as an authority by militarists and pacifists, capitalists and environmentalists alike.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

The Mighty Warrior Kings traces the history of early Europe through the biographies of nine kings, who had the courage, determination and martial might to establish their dominance over the fragmented remnants of the Roman Empire. The book begins with Charlemagne, who united large regions of current-day France, Germany and Italy into the Holy Roman Empire and ends with Robert the Bruce, who gallantry defended Scotland against the attempted usurpation of England. There are many famous warrior kings in the book, including Alfred the Great of Wessex, whose victories over the Vikings led to the unification of England under a single ruler, William I of Normandy, whose triumph at Hastings in 1066 changed the course of English history, while Frederick I Barbarossa led his army to victory in Germany and Italy solidifying and expanding the lands under the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Emperor. Among the lesser known monarchs discussed in the work are Cnut, whose victory at the battle of Ashingdon won the English crown and resulted in the creation of the North Sea Empire, which ruled over the kingdoms of England, Denmark and Norway, while during the reign of Louis IX of France the knights of Europe answered ...

"Devastating and gorgeous," the New York Times Book Review proclaims. "Perhaps it’s a ghost story, perhaps it’s a fantasy story, but it’s refreshingly oblique. The images are heightened and stylized, the better to pass along that frisson so essential to punk art—rock or otherwise."Love and Rockets meets Russian Doll in this original, full-color graphic novel about an underground punk band caught in a loop of an eternally repeating tour—from National Book Award–winning cartoonist Nate Powell. Master cartoonist Nate Powell has crafted a graphic novel that serves as both a brilliant example of circular storytelling and a love letter to the spirit of punk communities. Fall Through will stay with the reader long after they’ve turned the last page, asking the impossible question: Would you burn down everything you love in order to save it all? At first glance, Diamond Mine seems to have emerged in 1979 as Arkansas’s first punk band. Instead, this quartet is revealed to be interdimensional travelers from 1994, guided—largely against their will—by vocalist Diana’s powerful spell embedded into their song “Fall Through.” As Diamond Mine tours the country, each performance of the song triggers a fracturing of space-time perceptible only by the band members as they’re ...
