A Beginner's Guide to Being Mental - Natasha Devon
A comprehensive guide to mental health from one of the UK's foremost experts. An A-Z from Anxiety to Zero F**ks Given.‘Am I normal?’‘What’s an anxiety disorder?’‘Does therapy work?’These are just a few of the questions Natasha Devon is asked as she travels the UK campaigning for better mental health awareness and provision. Here, Natasha calls upon experts in the fields of psychology, neuroscience and anthropology to debunk and demystify the full spectrum of mental health. From A (Anxiety) to Z (Zero F**ks Given – or the art of having high self-esteem) via everything from body image and gender to differentiating ‘sadness’ from ‘depression’.Statistically, one in three of us will experience symptoms of a mental illness during our lifetimes. Yet all of us have a brain, and so we ALL have mental health – regardless of age, sexuality, race or background. The past few years have seen an explosion in awareness, yet it seems there is still widespread confusion.A Beginner's Guide to Being Mental is for anyone who wants to have this essential conversation, written as only Natasha - with her combination of expertise, personal experience and humour - knows how.

Rails Around Preston - Mike Rhodes
The first railway to reach Preston was the North Union (NU), with a line from Wigan in October 1838. By the turn of the nineteenth century there were some seventy stations within a 15-mile radius of Preston, with approximately half of these still in use in 2022. The variety of motive power to be seen at Preston over the years would rival any station in the entire UK railway network.Mike Rhodes has recorded the railway scene in the locality for over sixty-five years and has been active with a camera since just before the curtain came down on BR steam in 1968, with nearby Lostock Hall MPD being the last functioning steam shed on BR. Here he explores the rails around Preston through fascinating images and informative captions.

Party of the People - Patrick Ruffini
An eye-opening, “must-read” (Ben Shapiro, founder of The Daily Wire) about the future of the Republican party as they unite working-class voters in a multi-racial, cross-generational populist coalition.Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election shocked the world. Yet his defeat in 2020 may have been even more surprising: he received 12 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016 and his unexpectedly diverse coalition included millions of nonwhite voters, a rarity for the modern Republican party. In 2020, Trump defied expectations and few journalists, strategists, or politicians could explain why Trump had nearly won reelection. Patrick Ruffini, a Republican pollster and one of the country’s leading experts on political targeting, technology, and demography, has the answers—and the explanation may surprise you. For all his apparent divisiveness, Trump assembled the most diverse Republican presidential coalition in history and rode political trends that will prove significant for decades to come. The shift is profound: seven in ten American voters belong to groups that have shifted right in the last two presidential elections, while under three in ten whites with a college degree belong to votes groups that are trending left. Together, this super-majority of right-trending voters forms a colorblind, populist coalition, largely united by its working-class roots, moderate to conservative views on policy, strong religious beliefs, and indifference to or outright rejection of the identity politics practice by the left. Not all these voters are Republican, and in certain corners of the coalition, only a small minority are. But recent elections are pointing us towards a future where party allegiances have been utterly upended. The Party of the People demonstrates this data. Ruffini was as wrong as every pollster in 2016 and spent the intervening years figuring out why and developing better methods of analyzing voters in the digital age. Using robust data, he shifts you away from the complacent, widespread narrative that the Republican party is a party of white, rural voters. It is, but more importantly for its longevity, it’s a party of non-college-educated voters. And as fewer voters attend college, the Republican party shows no signs of stagnation. With rich data and clear analysis, Party of the People is a “deeply researched book” (Amy Walter, editor-in-chief of The Cook Political Report) that explains the present and future of the Republican party and American elections.

As Kingfishers Catch Fire - Preston Alex, Neil Gower
''Delightful . . . an original look at the literature inspired by Britain''s birdlife'' the Guardian, Best Nature Books of 2017''[The] pages light up with feathered magic'' Evening StandardWhen Alex Preston was 15, he stopped being a birdwatcher. Adolescence and the scorn of his peers made him put away his binoculars, leave behind the nature reserves and the quiet companionship of his fellow birders. His love of birds didn''t disappear though. Rather, it went underground, and he began birdwatching in the books that he read, creating his own personal anthology of nature writing that brought the birds of his childhood back to brilliant life. Looking for moments ''when heart and bird are one'', Preston weaves the very best writing about birds into a personal narrative that is as much about the joy of reading and writing as it is about the thrill of wildlife. Beautifully illustrated and illuminated by the celebrated graphic artist Neil Gower, As Kingfishers Catch Fire is a book to love and to hold, to return to again and again, to marvel at the way that authors across the centuries have captured the endless grace and variety of birds. It will make you look at birds, at the world, in a newer, richer light.''A joyful and a wondrous book . . . Each bird illustrated by Gower in a mixture of gouache and watercolour that brings to mind both William Morris and Eric Ravilious'' the Observer''I can see it under the Christmas tree of every family with a bird feeder and a copy of the RSPB Handbook . . . Preston captures his birds beautifully'' The Times

Relikvie - Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Anotace: Rituální vražda, nebo zásah nadpřirozena? Expedice doktora Whittleseyho měla v září 1987 za úkol pátrat po ztraceném kmeni Kothogů. Místo nich však její účastníci nalezli v džungli Amazonie zkázu, a tak po celé výpravě zbylo jen pár beden artefaktů určených k archivaci. O sedm let později připravuje newyorské Muzeum dějin přírody slavnostní otevření nejvelkolepější expozice kultury přírodních národů, jakou kdy obor zaznamenal. V sázce je příliš mnoho, a proto vedení instituce nemíní připustit, aby se do hledáčků televizních reportérů dostal brutální osud dvou mladíků, kteří v budově po zavírací době našli smrt. Poručík Vincent D'Agosta ostatně věří, že vrah se nadále skrývá kdesi v suterénu muzea. Brzy se však na scéně objeví výstřední agent FBI Aloysius Pendergast a předloží vyšetřovatelům vlastní teorii. Teorii, jež se vymyká běžnému chápání – a která by se ke smůle všech zúčastněných mohla ukázat coby správná… Úspěšná série o neohroženém agentu Pendergastovi slaví v Česku už 21 vydaných dílů. Roku 1997 byl podle tohoto úvodního svazku série natočen stejnojmenný horor v režii Petera Hyamse. „Než jsme napsali Relikvii, provedli jsme rozsáhlý vědecký výzkum celosvětového problému mozkožravých příšer, které zamořují muzea. Co víc si přát?“ – Douglas Preston „Úžasně zábavné. Milovníci napětí si nemohli přát děsivější zasazení než znepokojivou budovu, ve které není sebemenší prostor pro citlivky.“ – Kirkus Reviews „… co by se stalo, kdyby se Jurský park odehrával v New Yorku.“ – The Chicago Tribune „Preston a Child přinášejí příběh s atmosférou tak hutnou, že by se dala krájet, a nabízejí vše, co od pořádně svižného thrilleru vyžadujeme.“ – Library Journal

Tenacious Beasts - Christopher J. Preston
An inspiring look at wildlife species that are defying the odds and teaching important lessons about how to share a planet. First Honorable Mention, The Rachel Carson Environment Book AwardWinner of the 2024 High Plains Book Award, Non-Fiction CategoryFinalist, 2024 PROSE Awards: Popular Science and Mathematics CategoryIncluded in The New Yorker's "Best Books of 2023, So Far"The news about wildlife is dire—more than 900 species have been wiped off the planet since industrialization. Against this bleak backdrop, however, there are also glimmers of hope and crucial lessons to be learned from animals that have defied global trends toward extinction: bears in Italy, bison in North America, whales in the Atlantic. These populations are back from the brink, some of them in numbers unimaginable in a century. How has this happened? What shifts in thinking did it demand? In crisp, transporting prose, Christopher Preston reveals the mysteries and challenges at the heart of these resurgences. Drawing on compelling personal stories from the researchers, Indigenous people, and activists who know the creatures best, Preston weaves together a gripping narrative of how some species are taking back vital, ecological roles. Each section of the book—farms, prairies, rivers, forests, oceans—offers a philosophical shift in how humans ought to think about animals, passionately advocating for the changes in attitude necessary for wildlife recovery. Tenacious Beasts is quintessential nature writing for the Anthropocene, touching on different facets of ecological restoration from Indigenous knowledge to rewilding practices. More important, perhaps, the book offers a road map—and a measure of hope—for a future in which humans and animals can once again coexist.

Rewind to that morning, when Nadine is in her kitchen, making last-minute preparations before she welcomes more than a hundred guests to her home to celebrate her mother’s birthday. But her husband is of little help to her, her two grown children are consumed with their own concerns, and her mother—only her mother knows that today isn’t just a birthday party. It marks another anniversary as well. Still, Nadine will focus just on tonight. Everyone deserves a celebration after the year they’ve had. A chance for fun. A chance to forget. But it’s hard to forget when Nadine’s head is swirling with secrets, haunting memories, and concerns about what might happen when her guests unite.

First To Leave The Party - Jami Bernard, Salah Bachir
Salah Bachir, who immigrated to Canada from Lebanon in the 1960s, has been a gay activist who has worked in the film world for over four decades. While this has given him undeniable front-row access to Hollywood''s biggest stars, it is Salah''s personal charm and kindness, his philanthropy, his overall style (think hats, scarves, brooches, pearls, diamonds) and deep involvement in the art world that has made him a friend, companion, confidante, and/or lover to so many - including Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Joan Rivers, Mary Tyler Moore, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Edward Albee, Orson Welles, Aretha Franklin, Norman Jewison, and Elizabeth Taylor - although it''s true that Katharine Hepburn once turned him down, very nicely. Collected here in this wonderful book are personal stories of them all - some short, some long, some surprising, others juicy, and all fascinating. Through them we get to know Salah, a larger-than-life character that embodies the many worlds he shapes - the kind of person it would be hard to make up if he didn''t already exist.

Party of One - Wong Chun Han
''Compelling and informative... a useful gateway into [Xi Jinping''s] mind'' Rana Mitter, Literary ReviewFrom one of the most admired reporters covering China today, a vital new account of the life and political vision of Xi Jinping, the authoritarian leader of the People''s Republic whose hard-edged tactics have set the rising superpower on a collision with Western liberal democracies.Party of One: The Rise of Xi Jinping and China''s Superpower Future shatters the many myths and caricatures that shroud one of the world''s most secretive political organizations and its leader. Many observers misread Xi during his early years in power, projecting their own hopes that he would steer China toward more political openness, rule of law, and pro-market economics. Having masked his beliefs while climbing the party hierarchy, Xi has centralized decision-making powers, encouraged a personality cult around himself, and moved toward indefinite rule by scrapping presidential term limits-stirring fears of a return to Mao-style dictatorship. Today, the party of Xi favors political zeal over technical expertise, trumpets its faith in Marxism, and proclaims its reach into every corner of Chinese society with Xi portraits and hammer-and-sickle logos. Under Xi, China has challenged Western preeminence in global affairs and cast its authoritarian system as a model of governance worthy of international emulation.As a China reporter for the Wall Street Journal, Chun Han Wong has chronicled Xi''s hardline strategy for crushing dissent and asserting Beijing''s expansive global interests. Wong spent five years in Beijing before the Chinese government forced him to leave mainland China in 2019, after which he moved to Hong Kong and continued writing about Xi''s leadership. Now, Wong has drawn on his years of first-hand reporting across China to create a lucid and historically-rooted account of China''s leader, and how he inspires fear and fervor in his party, his nation, and beyond.Timely, revelatory, and important, Party of One explains how the future Xi imagines for China will reshape the future of the entire world.
