Eccentric, sentimental and homespun, John Betjeman''s passions were mostly self-taught. He saw his country being devastated by war and progress and he waged a private war to save it. His only weapons were words - the poetry for which he is best known and, even more influential, the radio talks that first made him a phenomenon. From fervent pleas for provincial preservation to humoresques on eccentric vicars and his own personal demons, Betjeman''s talks combined wit, nostalgia and criticism in a way that touched the soul of his listeners from the 1930s to the 1950s. Now collected in book form for the first time, his broadcasts represent one of the most compelling archives of twentieth-century broadcasting, reawakening the modern reader to Betjeman''s unique perspective and the compelling magic of the golden age of wireless.

For more than half a century, Betjeman''s writings have awakened readers to the intimacy of English places - from the smell of gaslight in suburban churches, to the hissing of backwash on a shingle beach. Betjeman is England''s greatest topologist: whether he''s talking about a townhall or a teashop, he gets to the nub of what makes unexpected places unique. This new collection of his writings, arranged geographically, offers an essential gazetteer to the physical landmarks of Betjeman Country.A new addition to the popular series of Betjeman anthologies, following on from Trains and Buttered Toast and Tennis Whites and Teacakes, this is a treasure trove for any Betjeman fan and for anyone with a love for the rare, curious and unique details of English life.

‘’F *** ing brilliant. I would describe it as like a bag of political nuts – moreish and fabulously salty’ JOE LYCETT A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARPlanes, Trains and Toilet Doors is an entertaining and original romp through the highs and lows of British political history and the unlikely locations that have decided our national fate.Forget Westminster bust-ups and PMQs, some of the key events that have shaped modern British politics happened not in the cloisters of parliament or Downing Street’s many corridors of power, but in car parks, village halls and seaside resorts where the mundane have played host to the mighty. From Pitt the Younger’s Putney Heath duel to finding Margaret Thatcher a voice coach on a train, Harold Wilson’s ‘Scilly’ season holidays to John Major’s dental appointment clearing his path to No10 – these (and many more) are the places where chance meetings, untimely deaths and snap, sometimes daft, decisions changed the course of politics.Matt Chorley has spent almost two decades covering Westminster, interviewing prime ministers, mocking ministers and chronicling the serious, and sometimes unintentionally absurd, events which act as unlikely turning points in the direction of a nation.

From the author of the New York Times and international bestseller Unfu*k Yourself Gary John Bishop presents a no-holds-barred guide to breaking through our cycles of self-sabotage to get what we want out of life.In Unfu*k Yourself, Gary John Bishop told us it was time to stop making excuses– to recognize and take responsibility for the negative self-talk holding us back.In Stop Doing That Sh*t, he builds on that message, teaching us how to stop self-sabotaging behavior. Bishop explains how our destructive cycles come down to the way that we’re wired. He then identifies different types of people and the ways we fu*k ourselves over: We can’t save money. We land in the same type of toxic relationship. We’re stuck in a rut at work. Analysing why we act the way we do, including what our common grenades are that blow up our lives, Bishop then shows how we can interrupt the cycle and stop self-sabotaging our lives.Written in the same in your face style as Unfu*k Yourself, Stop Doing that Sh*t will help us get in touch with our psychological machinery so we learn to interrupt negative thoughts and behaviour before they start, allowing us to give our attention ...

V letech 1983-1987 mladý britský scenárista jménem Alan Moore zmodernizoval americký komiks. Jeho přelomové pojetí Bažináče nastavilo nové standardy pro grafické vyprávění a vyvolalo v komiksovém médiu malou revoluci. Navázal na rámec gotického hororu svých předchůdců a umocnil jej intuitivním stylem vyprávění a bezprecedentní hloubkou postav. Moorovu vizi pak realizovali znepokojivě krásnou kresbou takoví spolupracovníci jako Stephen Bissette, John Totleben, Dan Day a Rick Veitch. Výsledkem je mistrovské dílo odolávající zubu času. V tomto prvním ze šesti dílů Moorovy Ságy o Bažináčovi jsou sebrány sešity 20-28. Svazek obsahuje rovněž předmluvu známého hororového autora Ramseyho Campbella a úvod od spolutvůrce a redaktora původní série Lena Weina.

The Anarchy was the first civil war in post-Conquest England, enduring throughout the reign of King Stephen between 1135 and 1154\. It ultimately brought about the end of the Norman dynasty and the birth of the mighty Plantagenet kings. When Henry I died having lost his only legitimate son in a shipwreck, he had caused all of his barons to swear to recognize his daughter Matilda, widow of the Holy Roman Emperor, as his heir and remarried her to Geoffrey, Count of Anjou. When she was slow to move to England on her father’s death, Henry’s favourite nephew Stephen of Blois rushed to have himself crowned, much as Henry himself had done on the death of his brother William Rufus. Supported by his brother Henry, Bishop of Winchester, Stephen made a promising start, but Matilda would not give up her birthright and tried to hold the English barons to their oaths. The result was more than a decade of civil war that saw England split apart. Empress Matilda is often remembered as aloof and high-handed, Stephen as ineffective and indecisive. By following both sides of the dispute and seeking to understand their actions and motivations, Matthew Lewis aims to reach ... Unknown localization key: "more"

“There are at least two kinds of games,” states James P. Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite; the other infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.”Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change—as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end. What are infinite games? How do they affect the ways we play our finite games? What are we doing when we play—finitely or infinitely? And how can infinite games affect the ways in which we live our lives? Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world—from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion—leaving all ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Why is playing games a universal human instinct? Why did the same games evolve across wildly different civilisations? And how can those games make your life happier, healthier and more fulfilled? The history of board games is really the history of human civilisation. Through it we see how our species has learned to live with one another, make deals, take on different roles and manage the ups and downs of luck.In this entertaining and thought-provoking look at games through the ages, Tim Clare explores the legal highs of a good dice roll, the thrills of a predatory race game and the tactile pleasures of the games that age with us through our lives to discover how, through play, we become fully ourselves. Drawing on Roman anti-cheating devices, organised crime card syndicates and the combative domestic bonding ritual of Monopoly, The Game Changers explains why games are more popular now than ever, and how playing them helps us learn to be better losers, make smarter decisions and become more human.

Audiokniha: Od autora světového bestselleru Odse*te se přichází další audiokniha, tentokrát na téma vztahy a láska. Co stojí za úspěšným a dlouhodobým vztahem? „Láska je trpělivá, láska je slepá. . .“ Dokud není. A pak co? Bez ohledu na to, kolik rad dostaneme nebo jak moc na sobě zapracujeme, nevidíte ve svých vztazích žádnou změnu? Pravdou je, že jste žalostně špatně vybaveni na jednu z věcí, které nejvíce určují váš život – bytí v oddaném vztahu. Ať už v jednom jste, chcete být, jste napůl v a napůl mimo, jeden překonáváte, jste ženatí, svobodní, rozvedení, nebo jste prostě celou tou věcí zavaleni, pojďte společně s autorem, jež si nebere servítky proplout vztahovým bahnem a poslechnout si rady, které vás dostanou zpátky do sedla. Žádné květnaté bláboly, žádné mystické strategie, systémy nebo techniky, jen real talk pro skutečné lidi, kteří chtějí ve svém životě skutečný vztah, jež opravdu funguje. O knize řekli: „Povinná četba plná strategických rad, jak mít trvalé a naplňující vztahy. Pokud jste single, tato kniha je pro vás. Pokud jste v oddaném vztahu, tato kniha je pro vás. Pokud jste rozvedení, tato kniha je pro vás. Jednoduše řečeno, vaše lepší já čeká." — Men’s Journal. „Autor bestsellerů New ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Ať už jste rodič, chcete být rodič, nebo prostě jen máte rodiče, tato kniha pronikne do podstaty toho, kdo jste a jak se projevujete ve světě – abyste plně převzali odpovědnost za směřování vlastního života a ukázali případným dětem, jak mají řídit ten svůj.Gary John Bishop tvrdí, že k rodičovství nepotřebujeme další tipy, triky a techniky, potřebujeme jen změnit to, kým sami jsme. Nikdy se nebudeme moci vyrovnat modelu „dokonalého rodiče“, který jsme si vytvořili v hlavě – frankensteinovské verzi mámy a táty poskládané z našeho dětství, kulturních ideálů, sociálních sítí a všeho ostatního.Chceme být dobrými rodiči, ale brzdí nás minulost. Pokud si říkáte: „Nemůžu být dobrým rodičem, protože jsem měl špatné dětství / špatné rodiče / trauma“, tak s tím přestaňte! Pusťte z hlavy to, co bylo, a začněte jednat autenticky a na základě přítomnosti. Dáte tak dětem vzor a připravíte je na to, aby se sebevědomě postavily světu a žily naplno.

In the 1970s, microbiologist Lynn Margulis and atmospheric chemist James Lovelock developed the Gaia theory. Embracing the circular logic of life and engineering systems, the Gaia theory states that Earth is a self-regulating complex system in which life interacts with and eventually becomes its own environment. Gaia describes a living Earth: a body in the form of a planet.Fusing science, mathematics, philosophy, ecology and mythology, Gaia and Philosophy, with a new introduction by Dorion Sagan, challenges Western anthropocentrism to propose a symbiotic planet. In its striking philosophical conclusion, the revolutionary Gaia paradigm holds important implications not only for understanding life''s past but for shaping its future.
