Poslední akční hrdinovia - Nick de Semlyen
Triumfy a pády kráľov hollywoodskych bitkárov Príbeh o posledných akčných hrdinoch sa zrodil v máji 1990 v Cannes, keď za potlesku slávnych osobností vystúpili bok po boku Arnold Schwarzenegger a Sylvester Stallone. Po rokoch rivality sa konečne zmierili dve najväčšie akčné hviezdy na svete. Nick de Semlyen v tejto strhujúcej knihe o zlatej ére akčného filmu mapuje „mŕtvolami“ posiatu cestu Stalloneho a Schwarzeneggera na pozadí Ameriky osemdesiatych rokov a studenej vojny. Čitateľom zároveň sprostredkúva dosiaľ neznáme príbehy osobností, ktoré kráčali v ich stopách: Chucka Norrisa a Jackieho Chana s ich výkopmi, zamračených drsných chlapov Dolpha Lundgrena a Stevena Seagala, aj sarkastických rebelov Jeana-Clauda Van Damma a Brucea Willisa. Čas však neúprosne plynul a éra neporaziteľných akčných hrdinov, ktorí svojimi svalmi, bojovým umením a modernými zbraňami zachraňovali svet, pomaly spela ku koncu. Keď trhák Jurský park v roku 1993 prevalcoval Posledného akčného hrdinu, slávne dni týchto svalovcov sa oficiálne pominuli. Nick de Semlyen čerpá z otvorených rozhovorov so samotnými hviezdami, s ich kolegami, priateľmi aj rivalmi, vďaka čomu prináša ničím neskalené svedectvo o hollywoodskych časoch, keď sa nedala obmedziť sláva týchto hercov, ani spúšť, ktorú po sebe zanechávali – či už na plátne alebo mimo neho.

The Last of Her Kind - Nunez Sigrid
The paths of two women from different walks of life intersect amid counterculture of the 1960s in this haunting and provocative novel from the National Book Award-winning author of The Friend It is Columbia University, 1968. Ann Drayton and Georgette George meet as roommates on the first night. Ann is rich and radical; Georgette is leery and introverted, a child of the very poverty and strife her new friend finds so noble. The two are drawn together by their differences; two years later, after a violent fight, they part ways. When, in 1976, Ann is convicted of killing a New York cop, Georgette comes back to their shared history in search of an explanation. She finds a riddle of a life, shaped by influences more sinister and complex than any of the writ-large sixties movements. She realises, too, how much their early encounter has determined her own path and why, after all this time, as she tells us, ''I have never stopped thinking about her''.''A brilliant, dazzling, daring novel'' Boston Globe''A subtle and profoundly moving novel about friendship, romantic idealism and shame'' O, The Oprah Magazine''An unflinching examination of justice, race and political idealism that brings to mind Philip Roth''s ...

The Boleyn Women - Elizabeth Norton
EIGHT GENERATIONS OF BOLEYN WOMEN FROM THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY TO 1603The Boleyn family appeared from nowhere at the end of the fourteenth century, moving from peasant to princess in only a few generations. The women of the family brought about its advancement, beginning with the heiresses Alice Bracton Boleyn, Anne Hoo Boleyn and Margaret Butler Boleyn, who brought wealth and aristocratic connections. Then there was Elizabeth Howard Boleyn, who was rumoured to have been the mistress of Henry VIII, along with her daughter Mary and niece Madge, who certainly were. Anne Boleyn became the king’s second wife and her aunts, Lady Boleyn and Lady Shelton, helped bring her to the block. The infamous Jane Boleyn, the last of her generation, betrayed her husband before dying on the scaffold with Queen Catherine Howard.The next generation was no less turbulent and Catherine Carey, the daughter of Mary Boleyn, fled from England to avoid persecution under Mary Tudor. Her daughter, Lettice, was locked in bitter rivalry with the greatest Boleyn lady of all, Elizabeth I, winning the battle for the affections of Robert Dudley but losing her position in society as a consequence.

Walking Europe's Last Wilderness - Nick Thorpe
An evocative voyage through the Carpathian mountain range and its threatened landscape, peoples, and history  The Carpathian Mountains of Poland, Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine are Europe’s last true wilderness. A landscape of great spruce and beech forests, grass meadows, and ancient villages, its people contend daily with the elements—as well as Europe’s last large carnivores. But this fragile ecosystem is now under threat, from climate change and illegal logging.  Journeying from the banks of the Danube to Transylvania, Nick Thorpe guides us through the history and ecology of the watershed of Europe, between the Black Sea and the Baltic. For a thousand years the Carpathians have been a place of refuge, of identity and belonging, where powerful rulers and dynasties fought to gain control over rich gold seams and the unruly inhabitants of strategic valleys. Today, its inhabitants struggle to protect its vast forest habitat from urban sprawl as well as logging.  Drawing on interviews with shepherds, foresters and loggers, and his four decades of experience in the region, Thorpe sheds light on a neglected part of Europe—where bears, wolves, chamois, and lynxes still roam.

The Badly Behaved Bible - Nick Page
We''re told that the Bible is beautiful, uplifting and a joy to read - but, while we know this is how we''re supposed to feel about it, in reality many of us find the very opposite. On opening the Bible, we are faced with a multitude of problems; from its form and historical content to its sheer size and often distasteful stories, we can be left feeling overwhelmed and disheartened. But the problem is not with the Bible - and it''s not with us either.The problem is we''ve been misinformed. And so, we end up believing things about the Bible that the Bible never claims for itself. But the Bible won''t politely sign up to the neat categories and terms we force on it. That''s why it''s badly behaved. We want to control the Bible and tame it so that we can ride it into battle; but the Bible bucks and rears and throws us off. We want to pin the Bible down so that it proves our theology; but the Bible evades capture and plays hide and seek. We want answers; but the Bible keeps firing questions. We want it to tell us what to do; but the Bible ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A radical reinterpretation of how your mind works - and why it could change your life ''An astonishing achievement. Nick Chater has blown my mind'' Tim Harford''A total assault on all lingering psychiatric and psychoanalytic notions of mental depths ... Light the touchpaper and stand well back'' New ScientistWe all like to think we have a hidden inner life. Most of us assume that our beliefs and desires arise from the murky depths of our minds, and, if only we could work out how to access this mysterious world, we could truly understand ourselves. For more than a century, psychologists and psychiatrists have struggled to discover what lies below our mental surface.In The Mind Is Flat, pre-eminent behavioural scientist Nick Chater reveals that this entire enterprise is utterly misguided. Drawing on startling new research in neuroscience, behavioural psychology and perception, he shows that we have no hidden depths to plumb, and unconscious thought is a myth. Instead, we generate our ideas, motives and thoughts in the moment. This revelation explains many of the quirks of human behaviour - for example why our supposedly firm political beliefs, personal preferences and even our romantic attractions are routinely proven to be inconsistent and ...
