A Lie Too Big to Fail - Lisa Pease

A thorough and groundbreaking addition to our understanding of the RFK assassination based on newly released police reports and government documents.In A Lie Too Big to Fail, longtime Kennedy researcher (of both JFK and RFK) Lisa Pease lays out, in meticulous detail, how witnesses with evidence of conspiracy were silenced by the Los Angeles Police Department; how evidence was deliberately altered and, in some instances, destroyed; and how the justice system and the media failed to present the truth of the case to the public. Pease reveals how the trial was essentially a sham, and how the prosecution did not dare to follow where the evidence led.A Lie Too Big to Fail asserts the idea that a government can never investigate itself in a crime of this magnitude. Was the convicted Sirhan Sirhan a willing participant? Or was he a mind-controlled assassin? It has fallen to independent researchers like Pease to lay out the evidence in a clear and concise manner, allowing readers to form their theories about this event. Pease places the history of this event in the context of the era and provides shocking overlaps between other high-profile murders and attempted murders of the time. Lisa Pease goes ...

Audiokniha: První díl vyprávění o životě odvážného židovského chlapce Felixe v okupovaném Polsku za 2. světové války. Příběh o naději v době, která naději nepřála. Věnováno: „Všem dětem, jejichž příběhy nikdy nikdo nevyprávěl.“ Tři roky a osm měsíců žije devítiletý Felix Salinger v odlehlém katolickém sirotčinci v horách, ačkoli není katolického vyznání. Jeho rodiče nejsou mrtví. Přivedli ho k matce Mince, představené jeptišek, aby se měl dobře. A určitě si pro něj brzy přijdou, jak Felix věří, jen co vyřeší potíže, které mají se svým knihkupectvím. Protože židovští knihkupci to mají v Polsku roku 1942 těžké. Jak moc těžké, to Felix pochopí, až když se v sirotčinci objeví muži s podivnými páskami na rukávech a začnou vyhazovat a pálit židovské knihy z místní knihovny. Felix uteče. Cestou zachrání malou Zeldu, jejíž rodina byla zavražděna, a pomalu mu dochází, co mají tihle spalovači knih za lubem. A co to znamená pro něj, Zeldu a všechny ostatní Židy… Spisovatele k napsání příběhu inspiroval osud Janusze Korczaka, polského židovského lékaře a tvůrce knih pro děti, který zasvětil svůj život péči o mladé lidi. Chtěl knihou vzdát této osobnosti hold, protože pro něj je hrdinou.

Audiokniha: Vždycky existuje šanceDvě židovské děti uprchnou z transportu do koncentračního tábora a na polském venkově hledají možnosti, jak přežít. Válka je realita, ale ony chtějí prožívat normální dětská dobrodružství.Felix je obyčejný desetiletý kluk, který chce prožívat normální klukovská dobrodružství. Ale je zima 1942, Felix je židovský sirotek v Polsku, a v jeho v životě tak není normálního vůbec nic. Felix a jeho šestiletá kamarádka Zelda utečou z vlaku jedoucího do koncentračního tábora a na polském venkově hledají možnosti, jak přežít. Naštěstí se jich ujme paní Genia, na jejímž statku se mohou ukrývat. Drsná realita války ale vtrhne i do jejich poklidného venkovského života… Felixova dobrodružství jsou stejně napínavá, vtipná a dojemná jako každá kvalitní literatura pro mládež, jen nás zamrazí při myšlence, že Felixovi a jeho ochráncům jde o život. Všichni si však uchovávají naději, protože slovy Felixe: „To je na příbězích to dobré. Vždycky existuje šance, že se splní.“ Příběh je inspirován životem Janusze Korczaka, polského pedagoga, který vedl sirotčinec pro židovské děti, a statečně je doprovodil až do plynové komory, kde byl zavražděn spolu s nimi.

Měl jsem pro sebe a Zeldu plán. Měli jsme předstírat, že jsme někdo jiný. Měli jsme si najít nové rodiče. A žít navždy v bezpečí. Potom přišli nacisti. Jsem Felix a tohle je můj příběh. Felix je Žid. A být Žid, když kolem zuří druhá světová válka, je nebezpečné. Felix měl nějakou dobu štěstí, schovával se v katolickém sirotčinci, pak ve sklepě. Jenže úkryt byl odhalen a Felix se ocitne ve vlaku jedoucím do koncentračního tábora. A přece znovu získá naději: z vlaku se jemu a šestileté Zeldě podaří uprchnout. V bezpečí ovšem nejsou ani zdaleka. Jak dokážou bez pomoci přežít? A komu můžou důvěřovat, když všude je tolik lidí lačnících po odměně za dopadeného Žida? Štěstí se však na ně opět usměje v podobě laskavé statkářky Genii. Ta je nechá u sebe v domě, vybělí jim vlasy a dá německá jména. Felix však tuší, že je jen otázkou času, kdy někdo odhalí jeho pravou identitu. A to bude konec - pro něj, pro Zeldu i pro Genii... K napsání příběhu autora inspiroval osud Janusze Korczaka, polského židovského lékaře a autora knih pro děti. Po mnoho let pomáhal ve Varšavě vést sirotčinec pro dvě stovky židovských dětí.

Nenašel je, ale zachránil malou Zeldu. Potom oba uprchli z transportu jedoucího do koncentračního tábora a potkali statkářku Geniu, která jim vybělila vlasy, dala německá jména a nebála se starat o dvě židovské děti. Když nacisté Zeldu i Geniu zabili a statek, kde se teď už třináctiletý Felix schovával, shořel, dal se hrdina k partyzánům, aby pomohl nacisty porazit. Brzy, doufá Felix, ta strašná válka skončí a on i jeho ochránce Gabriek budou žít v bezpečí. V poválečném zbědovaném Polsku však vládne chaos, hlad, bezpráví a krutost.

How to Fail - Elizabeth Day

Inspired by her hugely popular podcast, How To Fail is Elizabeth Day's brilliantly funny, painfully honest and insightful celebration of things going wrong. This is a book for anyone who has ever failed. Which means it's a book for everyone. If I have learned one thing from this shockingly beautiful venture called life, it is this: failure has taught me lessons I would never otherwise have understood. I have evolved more as a result of things going wrong than when everything seemed to be going right. Out of crisis has come clarity, and sometimes even catharsis. Part memoir, part manifesto, and including chapters on dating, work, sport, babies, families, anger and friendship, it is based on the simple premise that understanding why we fail ultimately makes us stronger. It's a book about learning from our mistakes and about not being afraid. Uplifting, inspiring and rich in stories from Elizabeth's own life, How to Fail reveals that failure is not what defines us; rather it is how we respond to it that shapes us as individuals. Because learning how to fail is actually learning how to succeed better. And everyone needs a bit of that.

Proč Západ vládne - Ian Morris

Oblast světa, kterou dnes označujeme jako Západ, získala díky průmyslové revoluci v 19. století světovou nadvládu, která trvá dodnes. Nicméně nyní, na začátku 21. století, se začínají šířit obavy, že nastupující hospodářská síla Číny a Indie znamená konec Západu jako globální supervelmoci. Jsou tyto obavy opodstatněné? A proč se vlastně do takto dominantní pozice v minulosti dostaly zrovna státy Západu? Britský historik a archeolog Ian Morris se ve své vlivné knize zaměřuje na vzorce historie v horizontu tisíců let a přináší zajímavou odpověď na obě tyto otázky. Klíčem k nadvládě Západu nebyla kultura, rasové rozdíly nebo výjimečné výkony jedinců. Zásadní byla role geografie, která určovala, jak si byli místní lidé schopni ve svých každodenních životech poradit s nedostatkem surovin, nemocemi, migrací nebo proměnami klimatu. Souhra zeměpisných faktorů a lidské vynalézavosti přitom pokračuje a svět se díky tomu podle Morrise bude nadále proměňovat, což poznamená i velmocenské postavení vyspělých zemí. Kniha je zásadním příspěvkem k dějinám naší civilizace a skvělým výchozím bodem k porozumění současné geopolitické situaci.

The Matter of the Heart - Thomas Morris

''Thrilling... The “dizzying” story of heart surgery is every bit as important as that of the nuclear, computer or rocket ages. And now it has been given the history it deserves'' James McConnachie, Sunday TimesFor thousands of years the human heart remained the deepest of mysteries; both home to the soul and an organ too complex to touch, let alone operate on. Then, in the late nineteenth century, medics began going where no one had dared go before. In eleven landmark operations, Thomas Morris tells us stories of triumph, reckless bravery, swaggering arrogance, jealousy and rivalry, and incredible ingenuity, from the trail-blazing ‘blue baby’ procedure to the first human heart transplant. The Matter of the Heart gives us a view over the surgeon’s shoulder, showing us the heart’s inner workings and failings. It describes both a human story and a history of risk-taking that has ultimately saved millions of lives.

Too Close to the Flame - Joseph B. Ingle

Joe Ingle''s Too Close to the Flame is a heartbreakingly beautiful account of over four decades serving as a spiritual counselor, guide, and friend to the men and women on Death Row. ''I had been working with the condemned since 1975 -- but never before had an execution affected me with this much power and confusion.'' Throughout his forty-five years visiting death rows across the American South, Joe Ingle has learned, loved, and suffered intensely. In Too Close to the Flame, Ingle describes how the events of 2018-2020 finally exposed the deep wounds inflicted on his psyche by nearly half a century of enduring the state-sanctioned murder of friend after friend. As an advocate for the men and women condemned to death by an unjust legal system that routinely victimizes the marginalized, Ingle has often found himself waiting through the darkest hours as the spiritual advisor and sole companion of those on deathwatch -- the brief period of isolation that precedes an execution. In vivid detail and startling candor, Ingle describes every moment with the expertise of a scholar and the affection of a brother. Through Ingle''s eyes, we are invited into the inner sanctum during desperate attempts at clemency, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Too Big to Jail - Chris Blackhurst

From journalist Chris Blackhurst, Too Big to Jail unveils how across the world, HSBC likes to sell itself as ‘the world’s local bank’, the friendly face of corporate and personal finance. And yet, a decade ago, the same bank was hit with a record US fine of $1.9 billion for facilitating money laundering for ‘drug kingpins and rogue nations’. In pursuit of their goal of becoming the biggest bank in the world, between 2003 and 2010 HSBC allowed El Chapo and the Sinaloa cartel, one of the most notorious and murderous criminal organizations in the world, to turn its ill-gotten money into clean dollars and thereby grow one of the deadliest drugs empires the world has ever seen.How did a bank, which boasts ‘we’re committed to helping protect the world’s financial system on which millions of people depend, by only doing business with customers who meet our high standards of transparency’ come to facilitate Mexico’s richest drug baron? And how did a bank that as recently as 2002 had been named ‘one of the best-run organizations in the world’ become so entwined with one of the most barbaric groups of gangsters on the planet?Too Big to Jail is an extraordinary ...
