The Tragic Life of Lady Jane Grey - Beverley Adams
Lady Jane Grey, the nine-day queen is considered to be one of the most tragic characters in English history. In July 1553 when King Edward VI died at the age of just 15 years old, the Tudor dynasty fell into chaos. The king had no legitimate male heirs and was determined his half-sisters Mary and Elizabeth would not inherit his throne, despite his father Henry VIII stating in his will that they should. We are led to believe that on Edward''s instructions his cousin Lady Jane Grey was to be proclaimed queen. But who was she? Was she the innocent young girl that our history books tell us she was, or a religious fanatic with the aim of keeping Mary off the throne and England Protestant? Or was she nothing but a pawn to men in the game of power and politics, abused by her parents to marry against her will all for a crown she did not want? This book looks into her life from her early years in relative seclusion at the family home at Bradgate through to her tragic end on the scaffold at the Tower of London, executed on the orders of her cousin Queen Mary. ...

Poznáš to z polibků - Julia Quinnová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Gareth St. Clair je v pěkné bryndě. Otec ho připravil o dědictví a jemu zbyl pouze starý rodinný deník, který může ukrývat tajemství z jeho minulosti a klíč k budoucnosti. Bohužel je psaný v italštině, z níž Gareth neumí ani slovo. Hyacinth Bridgertonová je dívka, které je podle Garetha lepší se vyhnout, umí ale italsky. Když se tihle dva náhodou setkají, Gareth Hyacint přiměje, aby mu slíbila, že deník přeloží. Jak se tak ponořují do tajemného textu, zjišťují, že odpovědi nenajdou v deníku, nýbrž jeden v druhém. A že nic není tak prosté – nebo tak složité – jako jediný, dokonalý polibek. „Julia Quinnová je bezesporu naší současnou Jane Austenovou.“ - Jill Barnettová „Jednoduše úchvatné, plné šarmu, humoru a vtipu.“ - Kirkus Reviews „Quinnová je… mistryní románů.

Přestože je dcerou hraběte, zlá nevlastní matka ji odsoudila do role služebné. Teď se však Sophie v náruči šaramantního a pohledného Benedicta Bridgertona cítí jako princezna. Bohužel s vědomím, že až odbije půlnoc, kouzlo vyprchá... Citace: „Toužíte po romantickém vztahu?“ Prudce zčervenala. „To je ovšem velmi osobní otázka, nemyslíte?“ Benedict pokrčil rameny a chystal se prohodit něco jako „za pokus to stálo“. Zatímco se jí však díval do obličeje, přičemž jí tváře půvabně zrůžověly a sklopila oči do klína, stalo se něco zvláštního. Uvědomil si, že ji chce. Skutečně a doopravdy ji chce. Proč ho to tak překvapilo? Samozřejmě že ji chce. Je to vitální muž a jako takový nemůže strávit dlouhou dobu v blízkosti tak svůdné a roztomilé ženy, jako je Sophie, aniž by po ní nezatoužil. Chtěl, nijak náruživě ani naléhavě, polovinu žen, které potkal. Ale v tuto chvíli, s touto ženou, to začalo být naléhavé.

Audiokniha: Další audiokniha z oblíbené série o Bridgertonových. Colina Bridgertona už unavovalo, že ho lidé považují pouze za okouzlujícího hejska. A nejvíc mu vadilo, že všichni hltali klepy z pera lady Whistledownové, která se o něm zmiňovala snad v každém ze svých sloupků. Po návratu z ciziny však zjistil, že se mnohé změnilo – především jeho stará dobrá kamarádka Penelope. Jaká tajemství můžou skrývat jeden obyčejný floutek a dívka, kterou už každý považuje za starou pannu? A mohou mít vůbec něco společného? „Ne, vyslechni mě.“ Obrátil se k ní a v tu chvíli se ho zmocnil pocit, že by nedokázal odtrhnout oči od jejích, ani kdyby se dům kolem nich zřítil. „Předpokládejme, že bych každému řekl, že jsem tě svedl.“ Penelope strnula. „Navždy by to zničilo tvou pověst,“ pokračoval a posadil se na okraj pohovky, aby byli zhruba ve stejné rovině. „Bylo by úplně jedno, že jsme se ani nepolíbili. Taková je, drahá Penelope, síla slova.“ Seděla nehybně jako socha a tváře jí hořely. „Já… nevím, co na to říct,“ zakoktala se.

The Highest Level of Enlightenment - David R. Hawkins
In this profound book, based on a popular audio program, Dr. David Hawkins gives a primer on his world-famous map of consciousness that will help the reader embark on their own journey to an advanced state of consciousness.Dr. Hawkins’s research is based on a well-established science called kinesiology, which has to do with the testing of an all-or-none muscle response stimulus. A positive stimulus generates a strong muscle response, and a negative stimulus results in a demonstrable weakening of the test muscle. Clinical kinesiological muscle testing as a diagnostic technique has been verified widely over the past 25 years.David Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D, conducted a 29-year study that demonstrated that the human body becomes stronger or weaker depending on a person’s mental state. He created a scale from 1 to 1,000 that mapped human consciousness. Furthermore, he demonstrated that this map can be used as a blueprint to reach higher states of consciousness that can be identified simply by applying a small amount of pressure on an outstretched arm!Not only that, but this simple method has also been demonstrated to be an effective tool for instantly calibrating human consciousness.

In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince - while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable . . . but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society - just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend's sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him.

The Last Days of the Ottoman Empire - Gingeras Ryan
''Impressive ... It is a complicated story that still reverberates, and Gingeras narrates it with lucid authority'' New StatesmanThe story of the fall of the Ottoman Empire, published to coincide with the centenary of its dissolutionThe Ottoman Empire had been one of the major facts in European history since the Middle Ages. By 1914 it had been much reduced, but still remained after Russia the largest European state. Stretching from the Adriatic to the Indian Ocean, the Empire was both a great political entity and a religious one, with the Sultan ruling over the Holy Sites and, as Caliph, the successor to Mohammed.Yet the Empire''s fateful decision to support Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1914, despite its successfully defending itself for much of the war, doomed it to disaster, breaking it up into a series of European colonies and what emerged as an independent Saudi Arabia.Ryan Gingeras''s superb new book, published for the centenary of the last Sultan''s departure into exile, explains how these epochal events came about and shows how much we still live in the shadow of decisions taken so long ago. Would all of the Empire fall to marauding Allied armies, or could something be saved? In such ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Toy Story and the Inner World of the Child offers the first comprehensive analysis of the role of toys and play within the development of film and animation. The author takes the reader on a journey through the complex interweaving of the animation industry with inner world processes, beginning with the early history of film. Karen Cross explores digital meditations through an in-depth analysis of the Pixar Studios and the making of the Toy Story franchise. The book shows how the Toy Story functions as an outlet for exploring fears and anxieties relating to new technologies and industrial processes and the value of taking a psycho-cultural approach to recent controversies surrounding the film industry, particularly its cultural and sexual politics. The book is key reading for film and animation scholars as well as those who are interested in applications of psychoanalysis to popular culture and children''s media.
