Beautiful FINANCIAL TIMESIf you took an Uber in Washington DC a few years ago, there s a chance your driver was one of the greatest living Uyghur poets, and one of only a handful from his minority Muslim community to escape the genocide being visited upon his homeland in western China.A successful filmmaker, innovative poet and prominent intellectual, Tahir Hamut Izgil had long been acquainted with state surveillance and violence, having spent three years in a labour camp on fabricated charges.But in 2017, the Chinese government s repression of its Uyghur citizens assumed a terrifying new intensity: critics were silenced; conversations became hushed; passports were confiscated; and Uyghurs were forced to provide DNA samples and biometric data.As Izgil s friends disappeared one by one, it became clear that fleeing the country was his family s only hope.Escape to America spared Izgil s family the internment camps that have swallowed over a million Uyghurs. It also allowed this rare personal testimony of the Xinjiang genocide to reach the wider world.Waiting to Be Arrested at Night charts the ongoing destruction of a community and a way of life. It is a call for the world to awaken to a humanitarian catastrophe, an unforgettable story of courage, escape and survival, and a moving tribute to Izgil s friends and fellow Uyghurs whose voices have been silenced.

In this book, Robert Leeson and Charles Palm have assembled an amazing collection of Milton Friedman’s best works on freedom. Even more amazing is that the selection represents only 1 percent of the 1,500 works by Friedman that Leeson and Palm have put online in a user-friendly format—and an even smaller percentage if you include their archive of Friedman’s audio and television recordings, correspondence, and other writings. This book and the larger online collection are sorely needed and very welcome. Milton Friedman deserves to be read in the original by generation after generation.

I was bored, angry, tired and sad. I felt all alone yet I had nothing to complain about. I had a good job, a husband who as far as I could tell wasn t shagging his assistant, three children who apart from being the occasional assholes were pretty good kids; a house, a dog and everything else we are told as little girls we should aspire to. But inside, I was growing restless. I was sick of having the same dull conversations about meal plans and kid-friendly holidays. I was frustrated with having the same married sex I d been having for the past seven years, or not having any sex at all. I didn t want to be looked at as just a mom . I wanted to be desired, to make someone s hair stand on end and go crazy for me. I didn t want to live by some label that didn t represent me. I looked at my messy SUV after my yoga class one morning and I wanted to vomit on it all. I panicked, thinking about how I am slowly approaching middle age and the menopause and I wondered how many years do I have left of being f**ckable before everything starts going downhill? We have many sides to us, most of the time we think we must choose just one character and stick to it. But the truth is, we can be all of them without having to choose. I am finally able to show the world that I am a bit of an idiot who dances around her kitchen in her knickers and makes silly videos with her husband, as well as a responsible parent and a businesswoman who runs her own company.When you find authenticity it s hard to go back. It s like opening a door to the truth and starting to breathe a new type of air. This discovery is what prompted me to write. It s my way of saying HERE I AM. I don t think we should be sorry for who we are. None of us.

Author of Wall Street Journal Bestseller Ultralearning explores why it’s so difficult for people to learn new skills, arguing that three factors must be met to make advancement possible, and offering 12 maxims to improve the way we learn. Life depends on learning. We spend decades in school, acquiring an education.We want to be good at our jobs, not just for the perks that come from being one of the best, but for the pride that comes from mastering a craft. Even the things we do for fun, we enjoy to a large extent when we feel we’re capable of getting better at them. Yet learning is often mysterious.Sometimes it comes effortlessly, as when we quickly find our way around a new neighborhood or pick up the routine at a new job. In other cases it’s a slog. We may spend hours in the library, with little to show for it on the final exam.We may want to switch companies, industries or even professions, but not feel qualified to make the leap. Decades spent driving a car, typing on a computer, or hitting a tennis serve don’t reliably make us much better at them. Improvement is fickle, if it comes at all.In Get Better At Anything, Scott Young argues that there are three key factors in helping us learn: learning from others, practice, and feedback. Using research and real-life examples, Young breaks down these elements into twelve simple maxims of learning. Whether you’re studying for an exam, learning a new skill at work, or just want to get better at something you’re interested in, these maxims will help you do it better.

Analysis (sometimes called Real Analysis or Advanced Calculus) is a core subject in most undergraduate mathematics degrees. It is elegant, clever and rewarding to learn, but it is hard. Even the best students find it challenging, and those who are unprepared often find it incomprehensible at first. This book aims to ensure that no student need be unprepared. It is not like other Analysis books. It is not a textbook containing standard content. Rather, it is designed to be read before arriving at university and/or before starting an Analysis course, or as a companion text once a course is begun. It provides a friendly and readable introduction to the subject by building on the student s existing understanding of six key topics: sequences, series, continuity, differentiability, integrability and the real numbers. It explains how mathematicians develop and use sophisticated formal versions of these ideas, and provides a detailed introduction to the central definitions, theorems and proofs, pointing out typical areas of difficulty and confusion and explaining how to overcome these. The book also provides study advice focused on the skills that students need if they are to build on this introduction and learn successfully in their own Analysis courses: it explains how to understand definitions, theorems and proofs by relating them to examples and diagrams, how to think productively about proofs, and how theories are taught in lectures and books on advanced mathematics. It also offers practical guidance on strategies for effective study planning. The advice throughout is research based and is presented in an engaging style that will be accessible to students who are new to advanced abstract mathematics.

Audiokniha: Klasický román v nebývalé dramatizaci a v brilantním podání Luboše Veselého. Dvacetidílná četba na pokračování z dvoudílného románu Charlese Dickense zachycuje osudové momenty ze života Davida Copperfielda, chudého sirotka, který dospěl v pozoruhodného a úspěšného člověka. Ačkoliv zažil po úmrtí rodičů nepřízeň, pronásledující ho celé dětství, a jeho dospívání provázelo mnoho obtíží. Režie: Hana Mikolášková Charles Dickens (1812-1870) Anglický spisovatel, představitel kritického realismu Charles Dickens se narodil v roce 1812, ale prožil neradostné dětství. Otec, který neuměl zacházet s penězi byl uvězněn ve vězení pro dlužníky se ženou i dětmi. Dickens už jako dvanáctiletý se musel živit sám. Pracoval v továrně na leštidla, mezi lidmi nevalného chování. Dařilo se mu mnohem hůř, než rodičům ve vězení. Naštěstí se objevilo nečekané dědictví, které rodině pomohlo z finančních problémů. Dickens se začal zajímat o děti, které prožívají podobné dětství jako on, bez domova a rodiny, odkázáni sami na sebe. Účastnil se také dobročinných akcí. Jeho tvorbu ovlivnil vztah k otci a k matce. Otce miloval, ale matku příliš v lásce neměl. Patníctiletý Dickens se stal advokátním písařem a poté soudním zapisovatelem. Od roku 1831 pracoval jako novinář a parlamentní zpravodaj. Novinařině se věnoval celý svůj život. Miloval také divadlo, rád by stal hercem, ale neměl cit pro drama. Luboš Veselý (1961) Herec Luboš Veselý prošel řadou divadelních scén. Na filmovém plátně se poprvé objevil ve známém snímku Jiřího Svobody Skalpel, prosím. Mohli jsme ho vidět i v televizní komedii režiséra Rudolfa Tesáčka Houpací křeslo, kde hrál po boku Jiřího Kodeta a Miroslava Donutila. Luboš Veselý se objevil v televizních seriálech Dobrodružství kriminalistiky, Světla pasáže, Případy prvního oddělení, První republika, Cukrárna, Život na zámku či Ulice.

Charles Dickens is the acclaimed definitive biography by bestselling author Claire Tomalin Charles Dickens was a phenomenon: a demonicly hardworking journalist, the father of ten children, a tireless walker and traveller, a supporter of liberal social causes, but most of all a great novelist - the creator of characters who live immortally in the English imagination: the Artful Dodger, Mr Pickwick, Pip, David Copperfield, Little Nell, Lady Dedlock, and many more.At the age of twelve he was sent to work in a blacking factory by his affectionate but feckless parents. From these unpromising beginnings, he rose to scale all the social and literary heights, entirely through his own efforts. When he died, the world mourned, and he was buried - against his wishes - in Westminster Abbey.Yet the brilliance concealed a divided character: a republican, he disliked America; sentimental about the family in his writings, he took up passionately with a young actress; usually generous, he cut off his impecunious children. From the award-winning author of Samuel Pepys, Charles Dickens: A Life paints an unforgettable portrait of Dickens, capturing brilliantly the complex character of this great genius. If you loved Great Expectations, Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol, this book is invaluable reading. By far the most humane and imaginatively sympathetic account yet for the general reader Amanda Craig, New Statesman

Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector s Library are books to love and treasure. Throughout his illustrious writing career, Charles Dickens often turned his hand to fashioning short pieces of ghostly fiction. Even in his first successful work, The Pickwick Papers, you will find five ghost stories, all of which are included in this collection. Dickens began the tradition of the ‘ghost story at Christmas’, and many of his tales in this genre are presented here including the brilliant novella, ‘The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain’, which deserves to be as well-known as A Christmas Carol. While all his supernatural tales aim to chill the spine, they are not without the usual traits of Dickens’ flamboyant style, his subtle wit, biting irony, humorous incidents and moral observations. It is a mixture which makes these stories fascinating and entertaining as well as unsettling. To paraphrase the Fat Boy in The Pickwick Papers: Charles Dickens ‘wants to make your flesh creep’.This collection brings together all Dickens ghost stories - twenty in all - including several long tales. Here are chilling histories of coincidence, insanity and revenge. Illustrated by various artists, with an afterword by David Stuart Davies.

Think you already know the story of Charles Dickens life? Think again. Almost everything you re familiar with was first mentioned in an authorised biography written by Dickens close friend John Forster 150 years ago. It s the version of events that Dickens himself chose to make public, and newly accessible archives reveal that it s crammed with gaps, inconsistencies, and outright lies. There s the sister whose existence Dickens kept secret and the Jewish relations whose faith he strove to conceal. There s plagiarism, fraud, and suicide. And that s only for starters. Helena Kelly, author of the acclaimed Jane Austen, the Secret Radical, retells Dickens story from his childhood to his deathbed, uncovers the truths he tried to keep hidden, and offers a fresh - and deeply troubling - perspective on the man who remains one of Britain s best-known novelists. You won t be able to look at him - or his work - in the same way again.
