An immersive history of a pivotal stretch of water‘Fascinating, spellbinding, erudite and great fun.’ Roddy Doyle‘Remarkable. Lively … Gower writes beautifully [and] the book is profoundly popular.’ Times Literary SupplementThe Turning Tide is a hymn to a sea passage of world-historical importance. Combining social and cultural history, nature-writing, travelogue and politics, Welshman Jon Gower charts a sea which has carried both Vikings and saints; invasion forces, royals and rebels; writers, musicians and fishermen.The divided but interconnected waters of the Irish Sea – from the narrow North Channel through St George’s Channel to where the Celtic sea opens out into the wide Atlantic – have a turbulent history to match the violence of its storms. Jon Gower is a sympathetic and interested pilot, taking the reader to the great shipyards of Belfast and through the mass exodus of the starving during the Irish Famine in coffin boats bound for America. He follows the migrations of working men and women looking for work in England and tells the tales of more casual travellers: sometimes seasick, often homesick too.The Irish Sea is also a place with an abundant natural history. The rarest sea bird in Europe visits its coasts in summer while the rarest goose wings in during winter.The Turning Tide navigates waters teeming with life, filled with seals and salt-tanged stories and surveyed by seabirds. Lyrically written and fizzing with curiosity, this is a remarkable and far-reaching book.

Packed with personal accounts of the action, this is a vivid narrative history of the often-overlooked USAAF campaign in North Africa and Sicily in World War II. In 1942, the Western Allies needed to take the offensive against the Axis to relieve pressure on the Soviet Union. With planning for a cross-Channel invasion beset by logistical and operational difficulties, in May 1942 President Roosevelt ordered his military leaders to prepare to support the British in the Mediterranean. This led to the first USAAF units arriving in the Middle East in July, firstly as reinforcements for the British and later as part of the Operation Torch landings in French Morocco and Algeria in November. In little over ten months from the summer of 1942, the USAAF in North Africa grew from nothing to a senior partner, providing aircraft and crews the other Allies were unable to match. The Axis forces that had controlled almost the entire southern shore of the Mediterranean had been swept from the African continent – thanks in no small part to the efforts of the USAAF.Using first-hand accounts from pilots and other aircrew, Tom Cleaver describes how the USAAF units that landed in Morocco were forced to learn their own lessons in combat with veteran Luftwaffe units, and how the experience gained in the skies over North Africa and Sicily was invaluable in developing the air forces that would dominate the skies over Europe in the latter years of the war.

It is the act of turning the flywheel, slowly gaining momentum and eventually reaching a breakthrough. Building upon the flywheel concept introduced in his groundbreaking classic Good to Great, Jim Collins teaches readers how to create their own flywheel, how to accelerate the flywheel’s momentum, and how to stay on the flywheel in shifting markets and during times of turbulence.Combining research from his Good to Great labs and case studies from organisations like Amazon, Vanguard, and the Cleveland Clinic which have turned their flywheels with outstanding results, Collins demonstrates that successful organisations can disrupt the world around them – and reach unprecedented success – by employing the flywheel concept.

We give up too easily. With a simple change of attitude, what seem like insurmountable obstacles become once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling 'modern Machiavelli' Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands, draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better. If the competition threatens you, it's time to be fearless, to display your courage. An impossible deadline becomes a chance to show how dedicated you are. And as Ryan discovered as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand is generating controversy - it's also potentially generating publicity. The Stoic philosophy - that what is in the way, is the way - can be applied to any problem: it's a formula invented more than 2,000 years ago, whose effectiveness has been proven in battles and board rooms ever since. From Barack Obama's ability to overcome obstacles in his election races, to the design of the iPhone, the stoic philosophy has helped its users become world-beaters.

In her old house by the fjord, Signe lies on a bench and sees a vision of herself as she was more than twenty years earlier: standing by the window waiting for her husband Asle, on that terrible late November day when he took his rowboat out onto the water and never returned. Her memories widen out to include their whole life together, and beyond: the bonds of family and the battles with implacable nature stretching back over five generations, to Asle''s great-great-grandmother Aliss. In Jon Fosse''s vivid, hallucinatory prose, all these moments in time inhabit the same space, and the ghosts of the past collide with those who still live on. Aliss at the Fire, is a visionary masterpiece, a haunting exploration of love and loss that ranks among the greatest meditations on marriage and human fate.

From Steve Richards, broadcaster, journalist, and author of The Prime Ministers We Never Had.'Through wonderful vignettes, Richards offers a masterful, clear-eyed and, above all, entertaining history of British politics' – Will HuttonEvery few weeks in British politics, a columnist will reach for the word ‘unprecedented’ as a cabinet minister resigns or yet another inquiry is called. In this magisterial history, respected broadcaster and journalist Steve Richards puts the chaos into context. Blending anecdote and analysis, Richards takes a step back to explore ten critical moments that have shaped modern Britain – from the Suez Crisis of 1956 to the Covid-19 pandemic, from 1945 to Thatcher.Richards argues that it is only with distance that we can perceive the tectonic plates shifting – and events that may seem earth-shattering in the moment might be a passing tremor with the perspective of history.A must-read for anyone seeking to understand our nation, this landmark work is enlightening and entertaining in equal measure.

If you want to be a successful leader in today’s business world, you need to think like an activist. If you want to be a successful leader in today’s business world, you need to think like an activist. This urgent and essential book shows how to do just that. The Activist Leader argues that the world needs a new kind of business leader, one that thinks differently about their role in today’s challenges. From climate change to inequality, the major crises facing society have become critical issues for business, and the world expects companies to step up. This is a pragmatic book. Jon Miller and Lucy Parker show what it takes to do business in these challenging times, taking a close look at companies such as Apple, Mastercard, Nestle, Maersk, JP Morgan Chase and Walmart. Most people feel powerless when they look at the problems facing the world – but if you’re a leader in a big business, you’re not powerless. Whether you’re a top executive or earlier in your working life, this book shows that thinking like an activist can have a transformative impact – for yourself, for your businesses, and for broader society.

''Vast and arresting'' SPECTATOR''A remarkably human take on the geological world'' NEW STATESMANRocks are the record of our creative planet reinventing itself for four billion years. Nothing is ever lost, just transformed. Marcia Bjornerud''s life as a geologist has coincided with an extraordinary period of discovery. From an insular girlhood in rural Wisconsin, she found her way to an unlikely career studying mountains in remote parts of the world. As one of few women in her field, she witnessed the shift in our understanding of the Earth, from solid object to an entity in a constant state of transformation. In the most tumultuous times of her own life, a deep understanding of our rocky planet imbued her life with meaning.The lives of rocks are long and complex, spanning billions of years and yet shaping our own human lives in powerful, invisible ways. Sandstone that filters out pathogens creating underground oases in aquifers of clean water. Ecologite is "the chosen rock" whose formation keeps the planet running. Earth is not just a passive backdrop, or a source of resources to be mined, extracted, and carved out. Rocks are full of wisdom, but somewhere along the way many of us have forgotten how to hear it.When we are uncertain about where to find truth, a geocentric worldview reminds us that we are Earthlings, part of a planetary community where we can find wisdom in the most unlikely places.More praise for TURNING TO STONE:''Marcia Bjornerud writes evocatively'' COUNTRY LIFE''A nuanced celebration of the language of stone'' DAVID GEORGE HASKELL''A unique and timeless book'' ROBERT HALZEN

Kniha je napsána v unikátním formátu. Na čtenáře čeká celkem 50 pokerových hand pocházejících ze skutečně odehraných turnajů. Autoři knihy komentují průběh každé odehrané handy od samotného počátku před flopem až do jejího konce, analyzují jednotlivá rozhodnutí a navrhují nejlepší možná zahrání. U každé handy si tak čtenáři mohou přečíst, jak by se v dané situaci zachovali hned tři špičkoví turnajoví profesionálové! Díky tomu mají jedinečnou příležitost takříkajíc z první ruky sledovat, jaké faktory při rozhodování zvažují v obtížných situacích ti nejlepší pokeroví hráči. Již po přečtení prvních několika hand je zřejmé, že tajemství úspěšné hry spočívá především v důkladné analýze situace u stolu. Kniha čtenáře naučí, jak správně uvažovat v klíčových situacích, kde záleží nejen na relativní síle kombinace, ale především také na pozici jednotlivých hráčů a velikost jejich stacků. Kromě toho je nutné brát v úvahu také skoky ve výplatní struktuře, které v pozdních fázích turnajů bývají obvykle již značné. Jedním z nejzajímavějších aspektů knihy je možnost sledovat tři rozdílné herní styly a to, jak se jejich odlišný přístup ke hře odráží v jednotlivých rozhodnutích v průběhu hand. Všichni tři autoři však mají společnou jednu věc – dokáží se přizpůsobit dynamice hry u stolu a svým soupeřům a na základě dostupných informací zvolit pokud možno co nejlepší řešení. Kniha „Poker – tajemství hry na internetu“ patří rozhodně mezi to nejlepší, co bylo kdy o online pokerových multi-table turnajích napsáno. Díky této knize mají čtenáři jedinečnou šanci výrazně vylepšit svou hru v pozdních fázích turnaje, kde se již hraje o velké peníze. Kniha je povinnou četbou pro každého, kdo to myslí s hrou pokerových turnajů na internetu vážně.

Elektronická kniha - autor Ófeigur Sigurdsson, 262 stran, česky Sopečný román plný lásky, vášně a popela. Román o životě islandského národního hrdiny „kněze ohně“ Jóna Steingrimssona, jedné z nejzajímavějších postav islandských dějin, kniha o životě mladého muže v temných dobách prvních záblesků osvícenství. Během tuhé zimy na přelomu let 1755 a 1756 cestuje Jón Steingrimsson po Islandu, ukrývá se na jihu v jeskyni a píše dopisy své těhotné manželce na sever. Je podezřelý z vraždy jejího bývalého manžela a byl vypovězen z kláštera. Nicméně jih nepatří k místům, kde by se člověk toužil zdržovat: ledovcová sopka Katla vybuchuje, všechno zahaluje mračnem popela, ničí, co se jí postaví do cesty, a Jón riskuje, že ho v jeskyni pohřbí zaživa. Přesto tvrdě pracuje, aby se prˇipravil na jaro a na příjezd své ženy, se kterou začnou nový život daleko ode všeho. Skandál okolo domnělé vraždy ale pronásleduje Jóna celou cestu do jeskyně a mučí ho dnem i...

From Jon Sopel, bestselling author and presenter of hit podcast The News Agents, comes an incisive examination of post-Brexit Britain and what it means for our future. 'I like and trust Jon Sopel and you should too'JOE LYCETT'A thrilling, nerve-wracking book. You couldn't make the last ten years up; thanks to Jon Sopel, you don't have to'PETER FRANKOPAN'A hugely entertaining and quite traumatic rollercoaster'ARMANDO IANNUCCI'Acute and unflinching - Sopel deploys his foreign correspondent skills on home shores as well as far ones, and brings together the story of a tumultuous few years on both sides of the Atlantic'MISHAL HUSAINReturning to the UK in some ways has been disconcerting – or maybe discombobulating would be a better word. It is, after all, my home; it is where I grew up, a country I love and am proud of. But either it’s changed, or I have. Maybe both. It just feels like a strange land. At the beginning of 2022, after eight years of political reporting in the US, Jon Sopel returned home to the UK – and having spent almost a third of his career abroad, he found a very different place to the one he left. In Strangeland, his first book since launching the global hit podcast The News Agents, he asks: What is the Britain he’s come home to?In the US, Jon was the outsider looking in, firm in the belief that the common language of English masked our fundamental differences; in terms of values and beliefs, it seemed the British had much more in common with our European neighbours. Strangeland is Jon’s account of how much that has changed. The US was a country he thought he knew well but didn’t really; returning home has been in some ways even more disconcerting – either Britain, the country he grew up in, has changed dramatically, or he has. Perhaps it’s both. A trenchant analysis of politics, people, and everything in between, Strangeland is an unforgettable portrait of a country gone through the looking glass.

The work within this book celebrates the use of mascots in contemporary graphic design. Co-opted to help sell or promote anything from tech companies and financial organisations to burger chains, record fairs and publishers, the use of mascots seems to be as popular as ever. Part of their charm is their variety. Simple and playful or sophisticated and current, mascots are fun characters that manage to put a smile on your face and simultaneously stand for something – injecting meaning and playfulness into a brand and creating a lasting impression.

MCKINSEY TOP 5 RECOMMENDED READ ''An underground hit'' – Best Politics Books, Financial Times ''Jon has one of the few big ideas that''s easily applied'' – Sam Conniff, Be More Pirate ''A wonderful guide to how to be human in the 21st Century'' – Ece Temelkuran, How to Lose a Country: the Seven Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship Description Citizens opens up a new way of understanding ourselves and shows us what we must do to survive and thrive as individuals, organisations, and nations. Over the past decade, Jon Alexander’s consultancy, the New Citizenship Project, has helped revitalise some of Britain’s biggest organisations including the Co-op, the Guardian and the National Trust. Here, with the New York Times bestselling writer Ariane Conrad, he shows how history is about to enter age of the Citizen. Because when our institutions treat people as creative, empowered creatures rather than consumers, everything changes. Unleashing the power of everyone equips us to face the challenges of economic insecurity, climate crisis, public health threats, and polarisation. Citizens is an upbeat handbook, full of insights, clear examples to follow, and inspiring case studies, from the slums of Kenya to the backstreets of Birmingham – and a foreword by Brian Eno. It is the perfect pick-me-up for leaders, founders, elected officials – and citizens everywhere. Organise and seize the future! Reviews ''Society is like an out of control house party – eating, drinking and consuming everything. Jon is the organiser of the campfire gathering behind the party. It’s calm and welcoming and you won’t want to leave. In Citizens, Jon and Ariane show how to leave the burning house of the Consumer Story and join the campfire that is the Citizen Story.'' – Stephen Greene, CEO of RockCorps and founding Chair of National Citizen Service UK ''The belief that every single one of us has both the potential and the desire to make the world better drives me every day, in everything I do. In Citizens, Jon shows how taking that belief as a starting point really could transform our world. This is a truly powerful book, in every sense of the word.'' - Josh Babarinde, Forbes 30 Under 30 Social Entrepreneur ''Every great transformation requires a new story. A story that reveals new possibilities and points toward an optimistic alternative to the current situation. Citizens presents just such a story and if we respond to its challenge we may just manage to navigate our way out of the mess we have created for ourselves.'' – Tim Brown, Chair of IDEO and author of Change By Design ''Jon is working with a set of ideas and tools that have the potential to change politics forever. In fact, they could change everything forever.'' – Ian Kearns, Founder and Trustee, European Leadership Network ''Citizens is a powerful and intriguing contribution to the search for a genuinely sustainable future. I am particularly interested in how the Citizen Story might help businesses to engage more fully with their employees and customers to accelerate sustainability and might also help businesses to become more transparent and accountable.'' – David Grayson, Emeritus Professor of Corporate Responsibility at Cranfield University School of Management and co-author of The Sustainable Business Handbook ''The shift from consumer to citizen is a truly big idea. If you’re in a position of strategic influence, I strongly recommend you engage with this and consciously explore what it might mean for your organisation.'' – Dame Fiona Reynolds DBE, Former Director General, National Trust, and Trustee, BBC ''There is such a thing as an idea whose time has come. This is that idea.'' – James Perry, Board Member, B Lab Global, and Founding Partner, Snowball Investment Management About the Authors JON ALEXANDER began his career with success in advertising, winning the prestigious Big Creative Idea of the Year before making a dramatic change. Driven by a deep need to understand the impact on society of 3,000 commercial messages a day, he gathered three Masters degrees, exploring consumerism and its alternatives from every angle. In 2014, he co-founded the New Citizenship Project to bring the resulting ideas into contact with reality. In Citizens, he is ready to share them with the world. ARIANE CONRAD has built a career turning big ideas into books that change the world. Known as the Book Doula, she has co-written several New York Times bestsellers. BRIAN ENO is an artist, philosopher and Citizen who has played a critical part in British culture since the early 1970s. He is a deep believer in the power of ideas and the possibility of a better world, beliefs which manifest both in his audio and visual art, and in his deep engagement with social, political and environmental issues.

Zemi ovládají orbitální mocnosti a její znesvářené národy mohou jen bezmocně přihlížet, jak jsou drancovány zbytky jejího bohatství. Ve špinavých neony osvícených ulicích se lidská spodina živí, jak se jen dá, aby si vydělala na vytouženou letenku z gravitační studny. Avšak kdyby se zločinecké i povstalecké podsvětí spojilo, rovnováha moci by se mohla nečekaně vychýlit.

Elektroakustická kytara Britský kytarista Jon Gomm je patří k současné generaci virtuózních muzikantů preferujících perkusní styl hry, kteří jsou schopni kromě melodických linek schopni na kytaře vykouzlit i rytmickou sekci (basové linky a perkuse). JGM11 je jeho signature model elektroakustické kytary ze špičkové řady Platinum Collection japonské značky Ibanez. Asymetrické tělo kytary vychází z konceptu Jumbo. Přední deska kytary je zhotovena z masivu smrku speciálně zahřívaného ve vakuu (Thermo Aged). Výsledkem jsou lehké a tvrdé desky, které svým charakterem připomínají dřevo vysoušené po několik dekád. Zadní deska a luby jsou vyrobeny z masivu afrického mahagonu. Ke krku z pěti kusů mahagonu a javoru je přilepen hmatník z ebenu makassar osazený dvaceti pražci z nerezové oceli velikosti Jumbo. O něco delší menzura nástroje (655 mm) je ideální pro alternativní ladění, která Jon Gomm používá. Přehled o dění na hmatníku i za šera vám poskytnou luminiscenční tečky na boku. Specifikem kytary je poměrně komplexní způsob snímání akustického zvuku (systém Fishman PowerTap Earth Blend), kdy kromě aktivní elektroniky Fishman Rare Earth Mic Blend, která využívá kombinaci snímání zvuku pomocí humbuckeru a kardioidního mikrofonu, nabízí i snímání kontaktním mikrofonem/senzorem. Tento systém je tak schopen zachytit i ty nejjemnější vibrace těla i krku a poskytnout kytaře krásně bohatý akustický zvuk s dynamickým akcentem perkusních prvků – navíc bez rizika vzniku zpětné vazby. Dva jackové výstupy z kytary nabízí možnost stereo (zvlášť signál snímačů a mikrofonu) i mono zapojení. Struny jsou přes nultý pražec a kompenzované sedlo z kosti uchyceny chromovaných mechanik Gotoh a netradičních banjo mechanikách (Keith Banjo Tuners Stainless Steel). Luxusní zpracování podtrhují dřevěné prvky v podobě lemovky těla, zdobného inlaye na hmatníku a rozety. Kytara je dodávána v kufru (Fiberglass case).

Otázka, kterou si klade Jon Elster v této pozoruhodné knize, zní, co drží společnosti pohromadě a zabraňuje jim, aby se rozpadly v chaosu a válce. Elster analyzuje dva pojmy sociálního řádu: stálé, předpověditelné vzorce chování a kooperativní chování. Kniha zkoumá rozmanité aspekty kolektivního jednání a vyjednávání z hledisek teorie racionální volby a teorie sociálních norem. Vychází ze základního předpokladu, že sociální normy jsou důležitou motivací iracionálního (neracionálního) jednání. Kniha představuje významný milník v Elsterově práci a má dodnes značný ohlas mezi politology, politickými filosofy, sociology a ekonomy. Poprvé byla vydána roku 1989, ale i po více než dvou desetiletích vychází dále v nových vydáních a dotiscích.

Steward je beta, tedy klon. Jeho vzpomínky však mají patnáct let zpoždění, protože si jeho alfa nenechal provést mozkový sken. Jenže za tu dobu se svět proměnil od základů. Stewardův někdejší chlebodárce, orbitální korporace Policorp, zbankrotovala, spousta jeho přátel padla ve vesmírné válce, lidstvo kontaktovala mimozemská rasa, jeho žena porodila dítě a rozvedla se s ním, jeho druhá žena jakbysmet a navíc ho někdo zavraždil.
