The Physio is an incredibly powerful, and totally unforgettable, narrative that explores the present and the past of author, Jonathan Smith, a man whose life has been upended by Parkinsons - a condition that threatens to take away his independence and identity. As he painstakingly relearns to perform the simplest tasks with his left hand, he is forced to confront his limitations and the reality of his condition. But it is within the walls of the physiotherapy room that Jonathan finds an unexpected ally in Clare, his physiotherapist - whose expertise and adventurous spirit challenge him to push beyond his boundaries. As Jonathan grapples with the frustrations of daily life, Clare becomes more than just a therapist; she becomes a mentor and confidante. Their relationship, rooted in mutual respect and understanding, blossoms as they share stories, fears, and laughter - each session a step closer to Jonathan''s physical and emotional healing. But the book is also a vivid account of the books and plays that he has written as well as those that he has read, and one begins to understand that this is not just a book about healing but an autobiography, a total life, viewed through the lens of literature.

''A landmark contribution to humanity''s understanding of itself'' The New York TimesWhy can it sometimes feel as though half the population is living in a different moral universe? Why do ideas such as ''fairness'' and ''freedom'' mean such different things to different people? Why is it so hard to see things from another viewpoint? Why do we come to blows over politics and religion?Jonathan Haidt reveals that we often find it hard to get along because our minds are hardwired to be moralistic, judgemental and self-righteous. He explores how morality evolved to enable us to form communities, and how moral values are not just about justice and equality - for some people authority, sanctity or loyalty matter more. Morality binds and blinds, but, using his own research, Haidt proves it is possible to liberate ourselves from the disputes that divide good people.

From acclaimed poet and memoirist Jonathan Wells comes a raucous and aching New York novel about family derangement, Boomer laments and youthful revolt, rock and roll, and the sacrifices we make for what we love. Benjamin and Dita Stern are seasoned New Yorkers whose life in the pre-war, Upper East Side building Benjamin’s grandfather built has settled into stasis—two children no longer at home, professional lives never fully realized. Then Benjamin’s brash younger brother Spence, founder and CEO of the hearing aid company Belphonics, asks him to collaborate on a new product line inspired by the brothers’ rock-and-roll youth at CBGB—the club where, Spence believes, his hearing was permanently damaged. If the idea works, it might salvage Benjamin and Dita’s tenuous financial position. Yet they both know that getting involved in Spence’s schemes comes at a high price. That same evening, with the Sterns’ daughter Alessandra over for dinner, Benjamin’s news is upstaged by the startling appearance of their son, Giorgio, whose violent adolescent behavior resulted in his being sent away for most of high school. Now seventeen, he is adrift and still a very troubled young man. As Benjamin and Dita reckon with their parental choices, Giorgio takes the reins of his own story, and we learn not only that his name is not, in fact, Giorgio, but also the extent to which all the Sterns share some measure of responsibility for his plight. A funny and deeply felt debut novel from poet and memoirist Jonathan Wells, The Sterns Are Listening explores a family on the verge of both collapse and regeneration. Brimming with affection for its troubled characters and the troubled city they call home, the novel traces a courageous path to the deeply uncomfortable heart of the matter, one that just might lead to redemption.

''This is a wonderful book, exhaustively researched, vigorously argued and teeming with the furious joy of seventeenth-century life'' THE TIMES''A brilliant, bloody account of England''s most dramatic century . . . Thrilling'' TELEGRAPH‘The most entertaining general history of seventeenth-century England I have read’ TOM HOLLANDThe seventeenth century began as the English found themselves ruled by a Scotsman, and ended in the shadow of a Dutch invasion. Midway through, society collapsed into a civil war, followed by army coup and regicide. For a short time – for the only time in history – England was a republic. In coffee shops and alehouses, ordinary people fizzed with ideas that were angry, populist and almost impossible to control.Despite these radical changes, few today fully understand the story of this revolutionary age. Leaders like Oliver Cromwell, Charles II and William of Orange have been reduced to caricatures, while major turning points like the Civil War and the Glorious Revolution are shrouded in myth. Yet, as Jonathan Healey argues, the period has never been more relevant. From raw politics to religious divisions, civil wars to witch trials, plague to press freedoms, The Blazing World tells the story of this strange but fascinating century in exuberant, panoramic detail.

Based on over eighty hours of interviews with Lovelock and unprecedented access to his personal papers and scientific archive, Jonathan Watts has written a definitive and revelatory biography of a fascinating, sometimes contradictory man.James Lovelock is best known as the father of Gaia Theory, the idea that life on Earth is a self-sustaining system in which organisms interact with their environments to maintain a habitable ecosystem.Lovelock''s life was a chronicle of twentieth-century science, and somehow he seemed to have a hand in much of it. During the Second World War he worked at the National Medical Research Institute, where his life-long interest in chemical tracing began. In the 1960s he worked at NASA. He worked for MI5 and MI6 during the Cold War. He was a science advisor to the oil giant Shell, who he warned as early as 1966 that fossil fuels were causing serious harm to the environment. He invented the technology that found the hole in the Ozone layer. And all of this shaped Gaia Theory - a theory that could not have been developed without the collaboration of two important women in his life. Drawing together the many influences which shaped his life and thinking, The Many Lives of James Lovelock is a unique biography of one of the most fascinating scientists of the modern age.

Jonathan Haidt is a modern-day prophet, disguised as a psychologist . . .He points the way forward to a brighter, stronger future for us all’ Susan Cain'Compelling, readable, remarkably persuasive' Telegraph'Urgent and essential . . .it ought to become a foundational text for the growing movement' GuardianAfter more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents in many countries around the world deteriorated suddenly in the early 2010s. Why have rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide risen so sharply, more than doubling in many cases?In this book, Social Psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that the decline of free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone usage among adolescents are the twin sources of increased mental distress among teenagers. Haidt delves into the latest psychological and biological research to show how, between 2010 and 2015, childhood and adolescence got rewired.As teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed with social media apps, time online soared while time engaging face-to-face with friends and family plummeted, and so did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of diminishing childhood freedom, as parents over-supervised every aspect of their children’s lives offline, depriving them of the experiences they most need to become strong and self-governing adults. The Anxious Generation reveals the fundamental ways in which this shift from free-play to smartphones disrupts development – from sleep deprivation to addiction – with separate in-depth analyses of the impact on girls and boys.Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed full of cutting-edge science, this eye-opening book is a life raft and a powerful call-to-arms, offering practical advice for parents, schools, governments, and teens themselves.

F1 is now the fastest growing sport in the world; the full story of its unbelievable rise is a riveting saga only hinted at by the likes of Drive to Survive. In this book - the first, definitive account of how F1 came to achieve total global fandom - Wall Street Journal reporters Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg take us inside a world full of racing obsessives, glamorous settings, petrolheads, engineering geniuses, dashing racers and bitter rivalries.The story of F1's world dominance is one of near-constant transformation and experimentation. This is a sport where the only way to win championships is to land a series of technical moon shots - and then do it all over again. With fast cars, big money, beautiful people, and glamorous locations from Monaco to Melbourne, The Formula tells the full, epic story of the sport. Starting in 1950s Britain, where six years of wartime engineering laid the foundations for a new type of motorcar racing; to the first global star partnership of Senna and Ecclestone; Spygate; Crashgate and its transition into an entertainment juggernaut. Bringing unique insight and access to F1's most storied teams and personalities - from Ferrari to Lewis Hamilton to Christian Horner and Daniel Ricciardo -The Formula offers a riveting portrait of the drivers, corporations, cars, rivalries, and audacious gambles that have shaped the sport for half a century.The end result is a high-octane history of how modern F1 racing came to be - the first book to tell the story of the outrageous successes and spectacular crashes that led F1 to this extraordinary yet precarious moment. More than just a sports story, it is the tale of a commercial empire, one built in the 20th century, rendered almost obsolete in the early 21st, and re-emerged world-dominant today; a disrupter that claimed its place in the crowded sports marketplace through cash, personality, and a new understanding of what a sport needs to be in the age of wall-to-wall entertainment.

But the roots of the conflict began long before that historic date.The roots of the Russo-Ukrainian War can be traced back through a sequence of events to the early 1990s that lead us not to Russia or Ukraine, but to the other side of the Atlantic. In 1994, the White House, under President Clinton, embarked upon the expansion of NATO, urged on by the new governments of Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, who sought the security NATO could offer against Russia. Even at this early stage, the United States was secretly considering Ukraine for membership. When the likelihood of this emerged, President Putin of Russia made absolutely clear that this was a red line not to be crossed. But few expected the war that eventually came.In Hubris, Jonathan Haslam, one of the world’s greatest experts on Russian foreign policy and espionage, examines one of the most intractable issues of our time.

Jaké mýty šíří západní novináři a historici o středoevropském odporu vůči komunistickému státu? Jak se na disent dívá americký historik J. Bolton? Všechno se odehrávalo ve zcela konkrétním prostředí a situaci, říká a popisuje jej vlastními slovy jeho účastníků a hojně cituje z dopisů, deníků i literárních děl. V jeho podání nejde tolik o politickou filozofii jako spíše o běžné zážitky. Disent je živým společenstvím lidí, kteří pochybují a pociťují nejistotu a rozhodně se nepokládají za žádné mesiáše.

Vyvrcholení fantasy série nasáklé krví a sarkasmem. Do Souzených zemí dorazila dlouho očekávaná válka a Kaňour se ocitá na frontové linii. Při osvobozování kříženců z hispartské Elleriny si z nečekaného setkání s bojovnými Ocelovými mnichy odnese krvavé zranění. Při následném střetu s mocným hispartským vojskem jej pak záhadná bojovnice obdařená čarovnou mocí probodne oštěpem. A to je teprve začátek epického příběhu trojkrevného bojovníka, který se po boku Nádherné, Šakala a ostatních Bastardů snaží zvrátit válečnou štěstěnu na stranu utlačovaných kříženců. Nečekané pomoci se jim dostane od mazaného čaroděje Šikuly, jenž coby vyslanec Tyrkánské říše sleduje vlastní záměry, a Bastardi by se před ním tudíž měli mít i nadále na pozoru. Zatímco Nádherná se Šakalem válčí v jiných částech Souzených, Kaňour a další Bastardi se pod Šikulovým vedením vydávají do srdce Hisparty, na tajemné místo v hlubokých lesích a poté přímo na královský dvůr, aby zde svedli se svým sveřepým nepřítelem konečný souboj o budoucnost Souzených zemí.

Vyprávění přesvědčeného nacisty a důstojníka SS Maximiliena Aueho nás provede několika různými dějišti druhé světové války, na frontu, do okupovaných oblastí i do zázemí. Text je koncipován jako Aueho fiktivní memoáry sepsané dlouho po válce; Aue se v nich neobhajuje, nýbrž se snaží po svém vysvětlit, jak a proč funguje jedno malé kolečko v příšerné smrtící mašinérii. Za svůj monumentální exkurz do duše malé ryby mezi válečnými zločinci získal Jonathan Littell r. 2006 Velkou cenu Francouzské akademie a prestižní Goncourtovu cenu.

Žij v sedle. Zemři na divočákovi. Taková je víra poloorků obývajících zemi Lot. Patří k bratrstvům známým jako kopyta; tito bývalí otroci střeží svůj neutěšený kraj na hřbetech obřích divokých prasat, speciálně šlechtěných k boji. Jsou tím jediným, co stojí mezi dekadentním srdcem ušlechtilého Hispartského království a divokými tlupami čistokrevných orků. Šakal střeží svůj kraj spolu s Šedými bastardy, jedním z osmi kopyt, která přežila kruté obléhání Lotu. Protože je mladý, prohnaný a velice ctižádostivý, navrhuje sesadit tyranského zakladatele Bastardů, válečníka zvaného Claymaster. Šakalův nebezpečný pokus o puč podpoří Kaňour, zuřivý kříženec s větším množstvím orkské než lidské krve, a Nádherná, jediná jezdkyně ze všech kopyt. Když kvůli příchodu cizího čaroděje vyjde podlá zrada najevo, Šakalovy plány končí ve zmatku a nejistotě. On sám se ocitá v sedle se zajatou elfskou dívkou, jejíž přítomnost začne narušovat jeho spojenectví. S blížícím se anarchickým krvavým rituálem Měsíce zrádců se Šakal musí rozhodnout, komu zůstane věrný, a najít si své místo ve světě, který odměňuje jen zlomyslné.

Slávny imaginárny cestopis Jonathana Swifta prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1726 a dnes sa považuje za dobrodružnú literatúru pre deti, hoci vznikol ako nemilosrdná satira na ľudstvo, štátne inštitúcie i dobové Anglicko. Kapitán Lemuel Gulliver v ňom rozpráva o neuveriteľných dobrodružstvách, ktoré zažil v Lilipute medzi trpaslíkmi, s obrami v Brobdingnagu, u čudáckych hvezdárov na lietajúcom ostrove Laputa či u múdrych koní Hujhnumov. Dielo vychádza v preklade Viktora Krupu bez úprav pre detského čitateľa, preto ho dopĺňajú vysvetlivky. Text sprevádzajú nádherné ilustrácie Petra Uchnára.

A Sunday Times Art Book of the Year: written by one of the UK’s foremost art critics, this new narrative history of the Renaissance takes in the whole of Europe and its global context. What was the 'Renaissance'? In the nineteenth century this flowering of creativity and thought was celebrated as the birth of the modern world. Today many historians are sceptical about its very existence. Earthly Delights rekindles the Renaissance as a seismic change in European mentalities, in a panoramic history that encompasses Florence and Bruges, London and Nuremberg. Artists from northern as well as southern Europe, including Leonardo, Bosch, Bruegel and Titian, star in a captivating and beautifully illustrated narrative that sets their lives against a period of convulsive change across a continent that was finding itself as it ‘discovered’ the world. Art critic and writer Jonathan Jones tells the story of Renaissance artists as pioneers, adventurers and ‘geniuses’, a Renaissance concept. Albrecht Dürer gazes with wonder on Aztec art in Brussels in 1520, Leonardo da Vinci tries to perfect a flying machine, Hieronymus Bosch finds inspiration in West African ivory carvings imported by the Portuguese to Antwerp. A then unknown Netherlandish painter, Pieter Bruegel, arrives in 1550s Rome just as Michelangelo is striving in the same city to raise the new St Peter’s Basilica towards heaven. From Atlantic voyages to Germanic woods, Italian palazzi to the royal castle of Prague, this was an age when people dared to experiment with the occult and dabble in utopias: to think and create new worlds.

Dimbleby’s work is in a different league, told with such skill and judgment'' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday TimesA gripping and authoritative account of the year that sealed the fate of the Nazis, from the bestselling historianJune 1944: In Operation Bagration, more than two million Red Army soldiers, facing 500,000 German soldiers, finally avenged their defeat in Operation Barbarossa in 1941. The same month saw the Allies triumph on the beaches of Normandy, but, despite the myths that remain, it was the events on the Eastern Front that sealed Hitler''s fate and destroyed Nazism.In his new book, bestselling historian Jonathan Dimbleby describes and analyses this momentous year, covering the military, political and diplomatic story in his evocative style. Drawing on previously untranslated German, Russian and Polish sources, we see how sophisticated new forms of deception and ruthless Partisan warfare shifted the Soviets’ fortunes, how their triumphs effectively gave Stalin authority to occupy Eastern Europe and how it was the events of 1944 that enabled Stalin to dictate the terms of the post-war settlement, laying the foundations for the Cold War . . .''Mr. Dimbleby is a sure-footed guide to the labyrinthine military operations along a front line that extended nearly 2,000 miles, from the Baltic to the Black Sea'' Wall Street Journal''Terrific . . . a tour de force'' Sir Richard Evans''Military history at its very best'' Keith LoweSunday Time Bestseller, June 2024

Cameron Harris narukoval hned po střední škole do armády a z války v Afghánistánu se vrátil na invalidním vozíku. O čtyři roky později žije se sestrou Tanyou v rodném městečku napůl zbořeném hurikánem Katrina a má dost monotónní život: kouká na telku, hraje videohry, občas se s Tanyou vypraví do místní večerky, aby nakoupili cigára, pivo a křupky… Jenomže jednoho horkého srpnového odpoledne, když čeká, až Tanya zaplatí a pojedou domů, jako by jím projela nějaká vlna a… Cameron vstane! Nastane cirkus: z večerky se stane poutní místo, kde se odehrál zázrak, lékaři na Cameronovi testují všechno, co je napadne, Vatikán vyšle zmocněnce, aby to celé prozkoumal, a nakonec si ho všimne i Hollywood. Ale co si s tím vším má počít on? Chodící zázrak je třeskutě vtipná studie toho, jak funguje současná americká společnost, jak vznikají mýty a jak je snadné, aby se v tom člověk ztratil.

Pokračování fantasy série nasáklé krví a sarkasmem Nady, která kdysi bývala jedinou jezdkyní v Souzených, se stala náčelnicí Bastardů, poloorků, kteří jí po pádu Pece přísahali věrnost. Její kopyto však sužují potíže — pevnost chátrá, obyvatele trápí záhadný hladomor a po okolí křižuje děsivá smečka ďábelských psů, jež rozsévá smrt. Ve své tvrzi mezitím kapitán Bermudo osnuje plán, s jehož pomocí se mají kavaleristi v zájmu hispartské koruny zmocnit vlády nad Souzenými. Když roztahovačná Hisparta najímá do svých služeb neznámý kmen Zahracénů a vyjednávání náčelníků o společném postupu kopyt selhává, ocitá se Nady a její město na pokraji zkázy. Nady se rozhodne vyrazit pro pomoc, v Jámě se opět setkává s Kaňourem, ale také s proradným náčelníkem Orčích skvrn Boulem, který se její pokusy o sjednocení kopyt pokouší zhatit. Navzdory všem nástrahám se jí a jejímu kopytu podaří dostat do zakázané země Elfů, kde její lid najde dočasné útočiště. Nady zde ovšem čekají těžké úkoly — nejdříve ale musí překonat odvěkou nenávist, kterou k ní Elfové cítí.

Známému americkému filmovému kritikovi Jonathanu Rosenbaumovi, který se dlouhodobě věnuje tvorbě autorského Hollywoodu, se zde na malé ploše podařilo předestřít nezvykle širokou paletu fakt a kontextových informací ke kultovnímu filmu Jima Jarmusche MRTVÝ MUŽ. Ve své knize se nevěnuje jen genezi samotného snímku a jeho natáčení, ale představuje nám např. motivy z americké historie, které tvoří pozadí námětu, uvádí tu také málo známá fakta o precizní, etnograficky přesné přípravě při vzniku scénáře a výpravy filmu. Jeho úvahy se tu mísí a konfrontují s názory režiséra filmu, s nimž Rosenbaum vedl několik rozhovorů, čímž rozbíjí klasickou, a někdy až příliš dogmatickou strukturu autorského textu. Sám autor pro české vydání připsal předmluvu, která mapuje osudy tohoto filmu v novém tisícIletí.Knihu kromě autorovy předmluvy doprovází česká i zahraniční bibliografie k tomuto snímku a základní data o něm včetně soupisu spolupracovníku, kteří se na filmu podíleli.

Z temné minulosti se vynořují temné snímky. Kdo by chtěl umírat pohřbený zaživa? Jonathan Moore navazuje na ty nejlepší: Edgara Allana Poea, zakladatele detektivního žánru, a mistra drsné školy, Raymonda Chandlera.Inspektor Gavin Cain právě přihlíží vyzvedávání rakve na sanfranciském hřbitově, když je náhle odvolán na místní radnici. Co může být důležitějšího než případ, kdy se zdá, že tu někdo zakopával nejen mrtvoly? Starosta Castelli je však jiného názoru – právě obdržel obálku s fotografiemi neznámé dívky, očividně pod vlivem drog, a dopisem s výzvou, aby to ukončil, jinak se jeho žena a dcera dozvědí, co se stalo. Castelli tvrdí, že netuší, oč jde. Pár dní nato je však nalezen s prostřelenou hlavou. A v jedné rakvi objeví kromě nebožtíka i tělo mladé ženy, zjevně živé, ještě než nad ní zaklaplo víko…
