this life martin hagglund

If this life is all there is, what should we do with it? Join Swedish philosopher Martin Hägglund on an original inquiry into the deepest questions of existence, beginning with a radical declaration: ''What I do and what I love can matter to me only because I understand myself as mortal.''Through revelatory engagements with some of history''s greatest philosophers, including Aristotle, St Augustine, Nietzsche, Hegel and Marx, Hägglund attacks our two great deceivers, religion and capitalism. Only by stripping away their subtle illusions can we discover the true value of our earthly freedom.Existence is revealed as a collective project: everything is at stake in what we do together, and no victory can survive us. ''The light of bliss - even when it floods your life - is always attended by the shadow of loss.'' By illuminating this truth, This Life forges an existential philosophy fit for a darkening century.

AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4''S ''A GOOD READ''Such a wonderful book. Utterly unique, exquisitely crafted and quietly powerful. I loved it and want everyone to read this lost literary treasure.'' Bernardine Evaristo''Maud Martha finds beauty in the brutal formative moments that make us. It is one of my favorite depictions of how a woman comes to trust her eyes.'' Raven Leilani''The quotidian rises to an exquisite portraiture of black womanhood in the hands of one of America''s most foundational writers.'' Claudia Rankine''Maud Martha reveals the poetry, power and splendor of an ordinary life.'' Tayari Jones''Incredible ... She is a quietly radical seer, she is literature itself, a person in the world. It’s a rare kind of perfect!'' Max PorterWhat, what, am I to do with all of this life? Maud Martha Brown is a little girl growing up on the South Side of 1940s Chicago. Amidst the crumbling taverns and overgrown yards, she dreams: of New York, romance, her future. She admires dandelions, learns to drink coffee, falls in love, decorates her kitchenette, visits the Jungly Hovel, guts a chicken, buys hats, gives birth. But her lighter-skinned husband has dreams too: of the Foxy Cats Club, other women, war. And the ''scraps of baffled hate'' – a certain word from a saleswoman; that visit to the cinema; the cruelty of a department store Santa Claus– are always there …Written in 1953 but never published in Britain, Maud Martha is a poetic collage of happenings that forms an extraordinary portrait of an ordinary life: one lived with wisdom, humour, protest, rage, dignity, and joy.

From bestselling author Renée Carlino, a warm and witty novel about a struggling writer who must come to grips with her past, present, and future after she discovers that she’s the inspiration for a pseudonymously published bestselling novel. When a bestselling debut novel from mysterious author J. Colby becomes the literary event of the year, Emiline reads it reluctantly. As an adjunct writing instructor at UC San Diego with her own stalled literary career and a bumpy long-term relationship, Emiline isn’t thrilled to celebrate the accomplishments of a young and gifted writer. Yet from the very first page, Emiline is entranced by the story of Emerson and Jackson, two childhood best friends who fall in love and dream of a better life beyond the long dirt road that winds through their impoverished town in rural Ohio. That’s because the novel is patterned on Emiline’s own dark and desperate childhood, which means that “J. Colby” must be Jase: the best friend and first love she hasn’t seen in over a decade. Far from being flattered that he wrote the novel from her perspective, Emiline is furious that he co-opted her painful past and took some dramatic creative liberties with the ending. The only way she can put her mind at ease is to find and confront “J. Colby,” but is she prepared to learn the truth behind the fiction?

Martin Stevens explores the extraordinary variety of senses in the animal kingdom, and discusses the cutting-edge science that is shedding light on these secret worlds. Our senses of vision, smell, taste, hearing, and touch are essential for us to respond to threats, communicate and interact with the world around us. This is true for all animals - their sensory systems are key to survival, and without them animals would be completely helpless. However, the sensory systems of other animals work very differently from ours. For example, many animals from spiders to birds can detect and respond to ultraviolet light, to which we are blind. Other animals, including many insects, rodents, and bats can hear high-frequency ultrasonic sounds well beyond our own hearing range. Many other species have sensory systems that we lack completely, such as the magnetic sense of birds, turtles, and other animals, or the electric sense of many fish. These differences in sensory ability have a major bearing on the ways that animals behave and live in different environments, and also affect their evolution and ecology.In this book, Martin Stevens explores the remarkable sensory systems that exist in nature, and what they are used for. Discussing how different animal senses work, he also considers how they evolve, how they are shaped by the environment in which an animal lives, and the pioneering science that has uncovered how animals use their senses. Throughout, he celebrates the remarkable diversity of life, and shows how the study of sensory systems has shed light on some of the most important issues in animal behaviour, physiology, and evolution. He also describes evidence of the disruptive effects of human activities on the way other animals navigate the world.

Our species is misnamed. Though sapiens defines human beings as "wise" what humans do especially well is to prospect the future. We are homo prospectus. In this book, Martin E. P. Seligman, Peter Railton, Roy F. Baumeister, and Chandra Sripada argue it is anticipating and evaluating future possibilities for the guidance of thought and action that is the cornerstone of human success. Much of the history of psychology has been dominated by a framework in which people''s behavior is driven by past history (memory) and present circumstances (perception and motivation). Homo Prospectus reassesses this idea, pushing focus to the future front and center and opening discussion of a new field of Psychology and Neuroscience.The authors delve into four modes in which prospection operates: the implicit mind, deliberate thought, mind-wandering, and collective (social) imagination. They then explore prospection''s role in some of life''s most enduring questions: Why do people think about the future? Do we have free will? What is the nature of intuition, and how might it function in ethics? How does emotion function in human psychology? Is there a common causal process in different psychopathologies? Does our creativity change with age?In this remarkable convergence of research in philosophy, statistics, decision theory, psychology, and neuroscience, Homo Prospectus shows how human prospection fundamentally reshapes our understanding of key cognitive processes, thereby improving individual and social functioning. It aims to galvanize interest in this new science from scholars in psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy, as well as an educated public curious about what makes humanity what it is.

The Remarkable Life of Albert Haskell, Jr.: The King of Crown City is the first comprehensive portrait of the Cortland, New York schoolboy who forged a path of his own that garnered him a reputation in New York State and the Northeast of the nation as an accomplished lawyer, politician, banker, civic organizer, supporter of higher education, and promoter of industrial expansion.As a district attorney, Haskell crossed paths with the prohibition government agents, murderers, white slavers, members of the “Black Hand” gang, and the Ku Klux Klan. He successfully prosecuted those who were part of a tubercular cattle scandal. As a state assemblyman, he was an advocate for the state’s dairy farmers during the violent milk strikes in the 1930s. Haskell co-founded a chapter of Rotary International in 1919 and played a pivotal role in the 1950s in making the place of his birth “the typewriter capital of the world.” Based on a trove of scrapbooks assembled by Haskell through his lifetime and kept by his grandchildren, this biography reveals exactly why Haskell’s life of integrity and public service merits the title of “King of ‘Crown City.’”

Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig’s King is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. – and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. He casts fresh light on the King family’s origins as well as MLK’s complex relationships with his wife, father, and fellow activists. King reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became its only modern-day founding father – as well as the nation’s most mourned martyr. In this landmark biography, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, and a committed radical who led one of history’s greatest movements, and whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime.

Audiokniha: Inspirativní příběh akrobatického pilota Martina Šonky, jenž se v roce 2018 stal mistrem světa respektované letecké série Air Race. Jeho cesta k absolutní světové špičce ale zároveň ukazuje, jak se vyplácí snít, protože i zdánlivě nereálné touhy mohou být – pokud tvrdě pracujete a jdete si za nimi – jednou naplněny. Obyčejný kluk ze Sezimova Ústí, jak o sobě rád říká, se prosadil v odvětví, v němž často rozhodují peníze. Navzdory tomu, že jeho maminka byla samoživitelka, on s bratrem spával v kamrlíku na košťata a Česko není pro velké sponzory atraktivní lokací, z něj vyrostl elitní světový pilot. A z anonymního muže se v tuzemsku stala respektovaná sportovní osobnost. Zpověď otce tří dětí zároveň doplňují rozhovory s jeho nejbližšími i s jeho velkými soupeři.

Aston Martin is the Great British survivor among car manufacturers.Created as Bamford & Martin in 1913, Aston Martin’s subsequent century-long existence has seen the company go bust seven times, win the Le Mans 24 Hours and become indispensable transport for a certain movie spy. This comprehensive and timely two-volume study by Russell Hayes covers Aston Martin’s adventure from the very beginning, setting the cars in context with the changing automotive world and rivals, and adding insights from contemporary road tests and first-hand accounts from recent company personalities. Fourteen chapters make sense of every Aston Martin for both the cognoscenti and the uninitiated, supported by a lavish array of photographs. • Beginnings, 1913–26: Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin started producing small sporting cars that showed prowess in racing.• The Bertelli and Sutherland eras, 1926–39: Under the leadership of Augustus ‘Bert’ Bertelli and then investor Gordon Sutherland, Aston Martins became rakish road cars bred through racing endeavor, notably at Le Mans.• The early David Brown cars, 1948–59: A glorious period unfolded under tractor magnate David Brown, with the fine DB2 family of road cars and a serious racing programme that culminated in victory at Le Mans in 1959, plus Lagondas.• The new six-cylinder cars, 1958–69: The superb DB4 was followed by the DB5, which shot the company’s image into orbit thanks to James Bond in Goldfinger, then DB6 and DBS completed the line.• A family tree of V8s, 1969–2000: Despite numerous ups and downs, Aston Martin’s big hand-built V8 engine powered an enduring family of super-exclusive cars with evocative names like Vantage, Volante and Zagato, plus the ‘wedge’ Lagonda.• Into the big time with Ford, 1987–2007: The all-new and very successful DB7 began a revival, leading to a new V12 engine, the mighty Vanquish and then the ‘VH’ cars including the DB9, V8 Vantage, Rapide and many specials.• A successful return to racing with the DBR9 and the Vantage GTE is given a dedicated chapter.• The rollercoaster continues, 2007 to date: From purchase by a consortium led by Prodrive boss David Richards to Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll’s present-day stewardship, Aston Martin’s activities have been enormously varied, even embracing an SUV (the luxury DBX) and a Formula 1 programme.• Full specifications are included and appendices cover the James Bond Astons and ‘continuation’ cars.This major book, a labor of love for its author, is the last word on Aston Martin and is presented to the highest standards as two volumes in a cloth-bound slipcase.

This book charts the origins, design and development of the most iconic British supercar of the 1970s and 1980s - the Aston Martin V8. It traces the car''s origins from the introductory model of 1967, the DBS through the various iterations of the V8 versions and ends with the final models of the range, the spectacular Vantage Zagato. While the car started life with Aston Martin''s ageing six-cylinder engine, it quickly received the engine the car was originally designed to be fitted with; Aston Martin''s mighty quad cam V8. The V8 would would power the car through the 70s and 80s, and with various tweaks and tunes, described in the book, would keep Aston Martin''s reputation as a vendor of fast, high-performance coupes alive through some very troubling times.The book covers the whole family of standard production cars produced by Aston Martin, along with various special versions, including the Ogle-designed ''Sotheby Special'', the Siva S350 and the ''Bulldog'' which recently broke the 200mph barrier. Alongside the specials the book also looks at the racing variants, including the Le Mans Lola of 1967, the spectacular V8 production racer run by Robin Hamilton (which was nicknamed ''the muncher'' thanks to its spectacular performance meaning it would eat is brakes for breakfast) and the Nimrod, which saw Aston Martin return to Le Mans in the 1980s. It also looks at the car in film and on the small screen, with James Bond looming large (''On Her Majesty''s Secret Service'' and ''The Living Daylights'') and with Roger Moore cavorting about Europe with Tony Curtis in the popular TV series ''The Persuaders!'' polishing the cars celebrity credentials.With some 70,000 words and 250+ pictures, many never seen before, this book pays a heartfelt tribute to the The Aston Martin V8. The V8 was the poster car for the patriotic British teenager of the 1970s and 1980s, providing a glimmer of hope that Britain could produce a world beating performance car that was the match of Italian exotica and American muscle. The Aston Martin V8 was that world beater, a car with superlative looks, amazing performance, unparalleled luxury and tough, reliable underpinnings. This book is a heartfelt tribute to the car, the car that kept Aston Martin''s hopes and British automotive dreams alive, a car that is now starting to be recognised for the true British supercar it always has been.

Knihu vytvořili bratři Tomáš a Martin Welsovi jako dárek pro své rodiče k Vánocům roku 1938. Podařilo se jim zachytit každodenní život jejich rodiny v Praze na konci třicátých let 20. století. Svazek je sestaven z dialogů a scén s výjevy z rodinného života Welsových, v mnoha ohledech dodnes typických, v jiných naopak nepředstavitelných. Autorem ilustrací je výtvarně nadaný mladší ze sourozenců Martin (1925-1944). V knize se střídá čeština s němčinou, tento stav odráží tehdejší jazykovou situaci v Praze. Dále se objevuje angličtina a francouzština. Všechny texty jsou přeloženy a grafické řešení umožňuje, že je kniha jazykově přístupná nejen českému čtenáři, ale i jinojazyčným mluvčím. Název Sancta Familia (Svatá rodina) vyjadřuje zkratkou rodinné vztahy: "Když mají dobrou náladu, mají se moc rádi, a někdy se hádají tak, že by se roztrhli. Rodina, jak má být."V knize jsou zaznamenány obyčejné situace: Martin prochází po ulici Na Příkopě s matkou Idou - mluví německy; na Můstku přechází do češtiny - tak, jak se na Václavském náměstí slušelo -, zastaví se v automatu Koruna pro vepřenku a limonádu. Později, když všichni sedí doma u jídelního stolu, vypukne vášnivá debata, proč Martin víc nesportuje - mohl by alespoň chodit bruslit - a proč má trojku z matiky. V jiné scéně otec Rudolf a jeho obchodní partner diskutují o nejnovějším politickém vývoji ve světě. Jinde se spekuluje o tom, zda má Tomáš přítelkyni, a jinde zase, kdy hodlá Idina přítelkyně paní Lederkrempová emigrovat. Bratři v knize, která vznikla necelé tři měsíce po podpisu Mnichovské dohody, předjímají budoucnost: představují si, že na jaře 1939 bude Tomáš na cestě do Ameriky. S matkou Martin vtipkuje, že, když tam jednou bude celá rodina, budou moci v Americe otevřít rodinnou restauraci s vepřenkami. I přes humor a láskyplné škádlení prosvítá nejistota a obavy. "Rodina se do budoucna nemá čeho bát," píše ale Martin na konci knihy, "doufejme, že brzy najde nový domov a bude pokračovat v klidu v této divadelní hře." Už v říjnu 1938 požádala celá rodina o emigrační vízum do Spojených států. Rudolf a Ida se oba narodili do západočeských židovských rodin. O Rudolfových předcích, chudých maloobchodních z Rokycanska, se můžeme dočíst v pamětech U "Bernatů",které napsal jeho otec Šimon Wels v roce 1919. Tomášovi je osmnáct, Martin je o pět let mladší. Výtvarné nadání zdědil Martin asi po otcovi. V době vzniku knihy byl Rudolf Wels již velmi úspěšným architektem, autorem řady zajímavých a originálních projektů. Události se ale odvíjely jinak, než jak si bratři přáli: Tomášovi se podařilo odejít včas. V dubnu 1939, krátce po březnové okupaci, utekl přes Polsko do Velké Británie, kde za války sloužil v britské armádě. Martinovi a jeho rodičům Idě a Rudolfovi byla žádost o vízum do Spojených států odložena. Byli zavražděni v Osvětimi 8. března 1944. Tomáš se vrátil do Prahy hned po válce, ale nikoho tu už neměl. To, co se z rodinného archivu zachovalo, vzal s sebou zpátky do Anglie. Později měl svou rodinu, o minulosti ale nikdy nemluvil a nikdy neotevřel krabici, ve které se zachovala i kniha Sancta Familia.

Audiokniha: Miko Syrový slaví dvě desítky let své policejní kariéry. Tedy slavil by, pokud by zrovna neležel v nemocniční posteli. A tak alespoň vzpomíná na dobráky i nebožáky, kteří prošli jeho detektivním životem. Na jedné straně kolegové, na té druhé zlodějíčci, podvodníci, rabiáti a dokonce vrazi. Julo, jeho první velitel, nenasytná, a přesto osamocená Zuzanka, Greg, maličký nácek Patrik, gambler Beny... Ti a mnozí další defilují Mikovi před očima a on si vybavuje příběhy, které s nimi prožil v dobách dávných i těch sotva minulých. V povídkové knize Živý mrtvý vrací Martin Goffa na scénu svého detektiva pražské kriminálky, Mikuláše Syrového. Martin Goffa (*1965) populární český spisovatel detektivních příběhů a thrillerů. Kromě románů píše i povídky. Spisovatel vystupující pod pseudonymem Martin Goffa pracoval od 90. let na Policii ČR nejprve jako pochůzkář, převážnou část těchto patnácti let ale působil jako detektiv kriminální služby. Nyní se zabývá obchodem a psaním. Tomu se začal věnovat až po ukončení policejní kariéry. Literární kritik Pavel Mandys řadí Goffu mezi nejzajímavější nové české autory detektivek. Oceňuje, jak využívá své policejní zkušenosti a domnívá se, že se jako spisovatel s každým dalším dílem zlepšuje. Napsal například Muž s unavenýma očima, Bez těla, Mezi dvěma ohni. Román Přiznat vinu, první díl jeho nové série s novinářem Terencem, se letos umístil na třetím místě v ceně Jiřího Marka pro nejlepší českou detektivku. Martin Preiss (*1973) již během studia herectví na pražském DAMU hostoval v činohře Národního divadla, poté chvíli také působil v Plzni v divadle J.K.Tyla. V roce 1998 se stal členem činohry Národního divadla. Objevuje se také na televizní obrazovce, často v seriálech. Proslavil se i díky moderování soutěžního pořadu Chcete být milionářem? Kromě herectví a moderování se Martin Preiss věnuje dabingu, četbě pro rozhlas nebo audioknih. Libor Hruška (*1965) po konzervatoři působil ve Státním divadle Ostrava a následně v několika pražských divadlech jako např. Divadle pod Palmovkou či v Karlínském divadle. Před kamerou ztvárnil řadu menších rolí. Proslul zejména jako bravurní a vyhledávaný dabér a svůj hlas propůjčil několika tisícům postav. V dabingu se uplatňuje také jako režisér.

Sophisticated, evocative, and delicious, the martini will never go out of style. Appearing in countless movies-for example, any one of the Bond films-it''s one of the most popular and well-known cocktails of all time. Making a martini is simplicity personified, the classic recipe requiring just two ingredients (not counting the garnish): gin and vermouth. And now man-about-town Matt Hranek is here to tell us everything we need to know about the iconic cocktail. Like Hranek''s The Negroni, The Martini will give readers insight into the drink''s nineteenth-century-origins, as well as the tools for making 35 simple variations of the drink-a combination of recipes from the author, recipes from experts/bartenders around the world, and iconic versions that any martini fanatic needs to have on hand. Included are the author''s own version, always with gin (never vodka), served ice cold and dry with a twist of lemon (or, on very rare occasions, like when he is hungry, an olive); the Martinez (circa 1849), named for the city of Martinez about 25 miles northeast of San Francisco, where some say this all began; a lime martini, a nod to Hranek''s father, who loved a gin and tonic; and New York City legend Russ & Daughters Cafe''s own martinis, "The Lower East Side" and "The Smoked Martini." There will be details on ingredients, methods (to shake or to stir?), garnish, equipment, glassware; where to get the best martini around the world, and more. Beautiful original and archival photography make this an irresistible gift for anyone who loves to enjoy a martini.

Audiokniha: Další neobyčejný případ obyčejného českého policajta. Večerní setkání s náhodným kolemjdoucím se pro Mika Syrového změní v tragédii, která do základů rozmetá jeho dosavadní život. Pachatele této nešťastné události se Miko rozhodne dopadnout za jakoukoli cenu a po jeho stopě se vydává s dalšími dvěma muži v zádech. Všichni tři jsou přitom již od začátku srozuměni s tím, že je při štvanici na uprchlíka nezastaví nejen hranice mezi státy či kontinenty, ale dokonce ani zákony, které až do té doby jako policisté chránili. Martin Goffa (*1965) populární český spisovatel detektivních příběhů a thrillerů. Kromě románů píše i povídky. Spisovatel vystupující pod pseudonymem Martin Goffa pracoval od 90. let na Policii ČR nejprve jako pochůzkář, převážnou část těchto patnácti let ale působil jako detektiv kriminální služby. Nyní se zabývá obchodem a psaním. Tomu se začal věnovat až po ukončení policejní kariéry. Literární kritik Pavel Mandys řadí Goffu mezi nejzajímavější nové české autory detektivek. Oceňuje, jak využívá své policejní zkušenosti a domnívá se, že se jako spisovatel s každým dalším dílem zlepšuje. Napsal například Muž s unavenýma očima, Bez těla, Mezi dvěma ohni. Román Přiznat vinu, první díl jeho nové série s novinářem Terencem, se letos umístil na třetím místě v ceně Jiřího Marka pro nejlepší českou detektivku. Martin Preiss (*1973) již během studia herectví na pražském DAMU hostoval v činohře Národního divadla, poté chvíli také působil v Plzni v divadle J.K.Tyla. V roce 1998 se stal členem činohry Národního divadla. Objevuje se také na televizní obrazovce, často v seriálech. Proslavil se i díky moderování soutěžního pořadu Chcete být milionářem? Kromě herectví a moderování se Martin Preiss věnuje dabingu, četbě pro rozhlas nebo audioknih. Libor Hruška (*1965) po konzervatoři působil ve Státním divadle Ostrava a následně v několika pražských divadlech jako např. Divadle pod Palmovkou či v Karlínském divadle. Před kamerou ztvárnil řadu menších rolí. Proslul zejména jako bravurní a vyhledávaný dabér a svůj hlas propůjčil několika tisícům postav. V dabingu se uplatňuje také jako režisér. Roku 2006 získal Cenu Františka Filipovského.
