One of the shrewdest political commentators we have Andrew Marrâ ˜Tony Blair was a giant amongst prime ministers and leaders of the Labour party: Steve Richards is a giant amongst political commentators. This riveting and persuasive book describes what happens when they meet head onâ ™ Anthony SeldonWas Tony Blair a visionary, impatiently looking ahead, or a leader trapped by his past â “ Labourâ ™s vote-losing 1980s and the dominance of Margaret Thatcher? Was the partyâ ™s move to the right under Blair necessary in order for them to win, or could they, after 18 years of Tory rule, have afforded to be more daring and more left wing than their leader wished to recognise?In Steve Richardsâ ™s short, provocative and highly engaging new biography, he argues that Blair was often the opposite of what we remember him being: perceived as a â ˜moderniserâ ™, he sought to strengthen the traditional institutions that partly define the UK, from the monarchy to the military; while to Margaret Thatcherâ ™s public appreciation he cemented her economic legacy rather than moved on from it. And, while he was viewed as messianic over Iraq, he was, in fact, being characteristically expedient, clinging to the orthodoxy in which the UK stands shoulder to shoulder with the US in war.But the UK in 2007 was undoubtedly a different country to the one it had been in 1997: from devolution, which played its part in establishing peace in Northern Ireland, to civil partnerships and a revived NHS, Blair left Britain in a much better place. While his legacy has been overshadowed by the Iraq war, Tony Blair re-establishes a more rounded view of his time in office, and shows that the challenges facing Blair were the ones that still face Labour today.

I will risk my life in order to save it.”Growing up in the mountains of Utah, Cory Richards was constantly surrounded by the outdoors. His father, a high school teacher and a ski patroller, spent years teaching Richards and his brother how to ski, climb, mountaineer, and survive in the wild.

After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and dropping out of high school, Richards subsumed himself in the worlds of photography and climbing, seeking out the farthest reaches of the world to escape the darkness.

Selma Blair stvárnila počas svojej hereckej kariéry mnoho úloh, k najznámejším patria naivka vo Veľmi nebezpečných známostiach a konzervatívna ľadová kráľovná v Pravej blondínke. Preslávila sa však aj v modelingovej sfére ako múza Karla Lagerfelda. Napokon sa v posledných rokoch stala predstaviteľkou komunity ľudí trpiacich sklerózou multiplex a jej cieľom sa stalo šírenie osvety. Predtým však Selmu poznali najmä ako... protivné decko. Vo svojom zábavnom, no taktiež emočne zdrvujúcom životopise rozpráva strhujúci príbeh dospievania a pátrania po vlastnej životnej pravde. Prvé, čo sa o sebe Selma Blair dozvedela, bolo, že je protivné, protivné decko a celé roky ostávala verná svojej reputácii: hrýzla sestry, klamala, ako sedemročná sa opíjala z vína počas Pesachu a správala sa teatrálne, aby bola stredobodom pozornosti. Hoci sa Selma nakoniec stala hollywoodskou herečkou a modelkou, nikdy sa celkom nezbavila temných mračien, ktoré sa jej z času na čas zbierali nad hlavou, a neopúšťalo ju ani presvedčenie, že jej život v sebe ukrýva veľkú záhadu. Často mávala pocit, že jej horia ruky, akoby sústavne dostávala elektrické šoky, a tak potajomky pila, aby tomu všetkému unikla. Selma v tomto nádhernom, miestami zdrvujúcom životopise odhaľuje svoju závislosť od alkoholu, oddanosť jej geniálnej a komplikovanej matke a chvíle, keď koketovala so smrťou. Nájdete v ňom násilie, vášnivú lásku, pravé priateľstvo, dar materstva a nakoniec aj prekvapivé spasenie vo forme diagnózy sklerózy multiplex. Prostredníctvom prenikavo originálneho a neľútostne inteligentného hlasu presiaknutého ťažko nadobudnutou múdrosťou je kniha Selmy Blair hlbokým ľudským životopisom a pravým literárnym klenotom. „Selma Blair je rebelka, umelkyňa a ako sa ukázalo aj spisovateľka.“ – Glennon Doyleová, autorka bestselleru Untamed a zakladateľka neziskovej organizácie Together Rising.

Selma Blair has played many archetypal roles: gullible ingenue in Cruel Intentions. Preppy ice queen in Legally Blonde. Fire-starter in Hellboy. Muse to Karl Lagerfeld. Face of Chanel. Cover model. Advocate for the multiple sclerosis community. But before all of that, Selma was known best for being one thing: a mean baby. In a memoir that is as wildly funny as it is emotionally shattering, Selma Blair tells the captivating story of growing up and finding her truth.The first story Selma Blair Beitner ever heard about herself is that she was a mean, mean baby. With her mouth pulled in a perpetual snarl and a head so furry it had to be rubbed to make way for her forehead, Selma spent years living up to her terrible reputation: biting her sisters, lying spontaneously, getting drunk from Passover wine at the age of seven, and behaving dramatically so that she would be the center of attention.Although Selma went on to become a celebrated Hollywood actress and model, she could never quite shake the periods of darkness that overtook her, the certainty that there was a great mystery at the heart of her life. She often felt like her arms might be on fire, a sensation not unlike electric shocks, and she secretly drank to escape.Over the course of this beautiful and, at times, shocking memoir, Selma lays bare her addiction to alcohol, her devotion to her brilliant and complicated mother, and the moments she flirted with death. There is brutal violence, passionate love, true friendship, the gift of motherhood and, finally, the simultaneous devastation and surprising salvation of a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. In a voice that is powerfully original, fiercely intelligent, and full of hard-won wisdom, Selma Blair s Mean Baby is a deeply human memoir and a true literary achievement.

Americký katolický kněz Larry Richards, autor úspěšné knihy Buď mužem!, zaujme svým svérázným stylem psaní o duchovních tématech. V něm dominuje strhující síla jeho zanícení, chlapská ráznost, kategoričnost, a přitom velká upřímnost a autenticita. Hlavním tématem knihy je rozhodnutí být svatým, tedy naplnit poslání, ke kterému je povolán každý člověk. Pro Richardse nejde o něco vzdáleného, nedostupného, exkluzivního – spíš si ne každý uvědomuje, že v životě nejde o nic menšího. Larry Richards je americký katolický kněz, autor řady spirituálních knih, vyhledávaný kazatel a duchovní doprovázející. V Portále vyšla jeho knihy Buď mužem! (2017).

Audrey Richards (1899-1984) was a leading British anthropologist of the twentieth century and the first woman president of the Royal Anthropological Institute. Based on fieldwork conducted at a time when the discipline was dominated by male anthropologists, Chisungu: A Girlâ ™s Initiation Ceremony Among the Bemba of Zambia is widely hailed as a classic of anthropology and African and gender studies.Underpinned by painstaking research carried out by Richards among the Bemba people in northern Zambia in the 1930s, Chisungu focuses on the initiation ceremonies for young Bemba girls. Pioneering the study of womenâ ™s rituals and challenging the prevailing theory that rites of passage served merely to transfer individuals from one status to another, Richards writes about the incredibly rich and diverse aspects of ritual that characterised Chisungu: its concern with matriliny; deference to elders; sex and reproduction; the birth of children; ideas about the continuity between past, present and future; and the centrality of emotional conflict.On a deeper level, Chisungu is a crucial work for the role it accords to the meaning of symbolism in explaining the structure of society, paving the way for much subsequent understanding of the role of symbolic meaning and kinship.This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Jessica Johnson and an introduction by Jean La Fontaine.

As the fall of France took place, almost the entire coastline of Western Europe was in German hands. Clandestine sea transport operations provided lines of vital intelligence for wartime Britain. These secret flotillas landed and picked up agents in and from France, and ferried Allied evaders and escapees. This activity was crucial to the SIS (Secret Intelligence Service) and the SOE (Special Operations Executive). First published in 1996, the original edition included descriptions of naval operations off French North Africa. The history has now been amended and expanded by Sir Brooks and is now published in two volumes. This first volume concentrates on the sea lines to Brittany.This authoritative publication by the official historian, the late Sir Brooks Richards, vividly describes and analyses the clandestine naval operations that took place during World War Two. The account has been made possible through Sir Brooks access to closed government archives, combined with his own wartime experiences and the recollections of many of those involved.

Selected and Edited with an Introduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent at Canterbury.Late in the eighteenth century authors began to write â ˜Gothicâ ™ stories as a way of putting literature back in touch with the irrational, the supernatural and the bizarre, which had been neglected in the â ˜Age of Reasonâ ™.This superb new collection brings together stories from the earliest decades of Gothic writing with later 19th and early 20th century tales from the period in which Gothic diversified into the familiar forms of the ghost- and-horror-story. Work by writers such as Poe, Dickens, Hawthorne, Gaskell and M. R. James appears alongside that of anonymous writers from the start of the period and many lesser-known authors from Britain and America. Some of these stories, like the haunting â ˜The Lame Priestâ ™ are â ˜lost masterpiecesâ ™ and several have never been anthologised before. Together they cover the spectrum of Gothic story-telling â “ tales of madness and violence, of shape-shifters and spectres, that express some of the deepest fears of the human mind â “ insanity, sexuality, death and the often terrible power of the past to catch up with the present.In a lively, authoritative introduction David Blair provides fresh insights and a detailed commentary on the storiesâ ™ place in the complex traditions of Gothic writing in British and American literature.

A riveting history of vampire panics across cultures and down through the millenniaâ ”and why killing the dead is better than killing the livingKilling the Dead provides the first in-depth, global account of one of the worldâ ™s most widespread yet misunderstood forms of mass hysteriaâ ”the vampire epidemic. In a spellbinding narrative, John Blair takes readers from ancient Mesopotamia to present-day Haiti to explore a macabre frontier of life and death where corpses are believed to wander or do harm from the grave, and where the vampire is a physical expression of societyâ ™s inexplicable terrors and anxieties. In 1732, the British public opened their morning papers to read of lurid happenings in eastern Europe. Serbian villagers had dug up several corpses and had found them to be undecayed and bloated with blood. Recognizing the marks of vampirism, they mutilated and burned them. Centuries earlier, the English themselves engaged in the same behavior. In fact, vampire epidemics have flared up throughout historyâ ”in ancient Assyria, China, and Rome, medieval and early modern Europe, and the Americas. Blair blends the latest findings in archaeology, anthropology, and psychology with vampire lore from literature and popular culture to show how these episodes occur at traumatic moments in societies that upend all sense of security, and how the European vampire is just one species in a larger family of predatory supernatural entities that includes the female flying demons of Southeast Asia and the lustful yoginis of India. Richly illustrated, Killing the Dead provocatively argues that corpse-killing, far from being pathological or unhealthy, served as a therapeutic and largely harmless outlet for fear, hatred, and paranoia that would otherwise result in violence against marginalized groups and individuals.

Jako zasloužilý pamětník psychedelického hnutí nabízí William A. Richards čtenářům desítky let vlastní, nezprostředkované zkušenosti s výzkumem psychedelik. V této pozoruhodné knize se pohybuje jak na poli diskuzí o nejdůležitějších momentech psychedelického výzkumu, tak v hlubokých náboženských a metafyzických tématech, která probírá s péčí a smyslem pro detail. Autor nabízí rozvážné a pragmatické rady, např. jak si poradit s psychosomatickými potížemi při užití psychedelik, jak bezpečně maximalizovat potenciál k navození spirituálně transformativní mystické zkušenosti, jak mohou psychedelika dát smysl běžnému životu i prožitku umírání a jak mohou tyto látky udivujícím způsobem pomoci při těžkých závislostech nebo klinické depresi. Kniha Posvátné poznání věnuje hlavní pozornost zkoumání mystických prožitků, které jsou zřejmě tím hlavním a nejpřekvapivější zjištěním psychedelického výzkumu. Pokud jsou spirituální prožitky katalyzované psychedeliky nerozlišitelné od mystických stavů, jejichž líčení jsou náplní literatury všech větších náboženství, vědci a badatelé mají k dispozici jedinečný a drahocenný nástroj - mohou vcelku spolehlivým a replikovatelným způsobem zprostředkovat mystickou zkušenost. William A. Richards postupuje podrobně, systematicky a hovoří rozvážným, průzračným jazykem. Postupně tak stránku po stránce rozkrývá svou vizi úžasných hlubin lidské psýché a podobně úžasné krásy tohoto světa - vizi, která v jeho případě není jen jakousi vznosnou, nepodloženou metafyzickou spekulací, nýbrž dobře vystavěnou koncepcí, doloženou podrobnými popisy prožitků a vhledů pacientů a dobrovolníků.

The great director John Ford (1894-1973) is best known for classic westerns, but his body of work encompasses much more than this single genre. Jeffrey Richards develops and broadens our understanding of Ford s film-making oeuvre by studying his non-Western films through the lens of Fordâ ™s life and abiding preoccupations. Ford s other cinematic worlds included Ireland, the Family, Catholicism, War and the Sea, which share with his westerns the recurrent themes of memory and loss, the plight of outsiders and the tragedy of family breakup. Richards revisionist study both provides new insights into familiar films such as The Fugitive (1947); The Quiet Man (1952), Gideonâ ™s Way and The Informer (1935) and reclaims neglected masterpieces, among them Wee Willie Winkie (1937) and the extraordinary The Long Voyage Home.
