''An extraordinary account of heroism and sacrifice. An unexpected and important story, rivetingly told. Rip roaring stuff. Get this into the paws of the sea dog in your life.'' - Griff Rhys Jones''A book that had to be written'' - Let''s Talk''People ashore don’t realise what a grim war we are waging at sea with the Germans. A cold-blooded war, in a way I think requiring the maximum of bravery from the men of both sides in the long run, as it is so ceaseless and intangible. You just don’t know whether the next moment will be your last.'' Robert Hichens, RNVSR Several years ago, Julia Jones was searching through long-forgotten items stored at her house and discovered some suitcases of old written material, which turned out to be accounts by her father of his experiences in the RNVSR (Royal Naval Volunteer Supplementary Reserve). She realised that as a child she’d met some of the people mentioned, and although she was too young to truly know them, these youthful impressions spurred her on to rediscovery and understanding. In this absorbing book Julia tells the compelling stories of the yachtsmen. Some were famous (such as Sir Peter Scott), others were wealthy ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The extraordinary stories of the fearless women who set their sights on the sea in an all-male world, paving the way for the female sailing superstars of today.Gender issues are stark at sea. Historically a ship’s crew is all male, and although vessels are referred to as ‘she’, women’s contributions to sailing have been largely ignored, if not actively opposed. Today’s sailing legends such as Tracy Edwards and Ellen MacArthur compete with men on equal terms, but they stand on the shoulders of many women before them, who had to challenge preconceptions, prejudice and even the law in their wish to sail.Spanning the 19th century to today, Julia Jones dives into the lives of an array of incredible and unconventional women: we meet single-handed sailors, wealthy explorers, long-suffering wives and penniless chancers with a thirst for adventure. Each had to face down barriers of official exclusion, family-imposed restriction, social disapproval and often a resulting lack of self-belief.In the 21st-century, British women wear Admiral’s uniforms and break global yachting records, yet their journey to professional sailing remains challenging, and the public face of sailing remains mostly male – evident in the lack of female Commodores in prestigious yacht clubs.

Access to the countryside is essential for our health, our happiness and our future. But does nature need us?In January 2023, the largest land access demonstration since the 1930s took place on a bright wintery morning on Dartmoor. The access movement demands that the countryside be thrown open. This, they argue, would help nature by giving the public the opportunity to hold farmers and wealthy landowners to account.But would it really work for Britain’s growing population to spill out across the countryside, and is access quite as restricted as we are led to believe?In Uncommon Ground, Patrick Galbraith takes us on an extraordinary tour of ...

Like the cowboy, the idea of the rock star lives on in our imaginations.What did we see in them? Swagger. Recklessness. Sexual charisma. Damn-the-torpedoes self-belief. A certain way of carrying themselves. Good hair. Interesting shoes. Talent we wished we had.What did we want of them? To be larger than life but also like us. To live out their songs. To stay young forever. No wonder many didn't stay the course.In Uncommon People, David Hepworth zeroes in on defining moments and turning points in the lives of forty rock stars from 1955 to 1995, taking us on a journey to burst a hundred myths and create a hundred more.As this tribe of uniquely motivated nobodies went about turning themselves into the ultimate somebodies, they also shaped us, our real lives and our fantasies.

Build and deepen your personal spiritual practice with this empowering, radical reframing of prayer as a secular tool for healing, personal growth, societal change, and profound joy.Prayer is an ancient practice-one that has been utilized and embraced by cultures around the world and across time. There is not one correct way to pray, and no tradition holds a monopoly on what prayer is or means. In The Uncommon Book of Prayer author, psychosomatic therapist, and flower essence practitioner Heidi Smith reveals that prayer does not even need to be practiced within a religious tradition, though it can be. Instead, she reintroduces readers to the idea of prayer as a highly personal practice that can bring joy and enlightenment, heal deeply felt trauma, and work toward planetary healing. Readers will encounter a new definition of prayer: An active agreement that you make between your soul and the Divine (whatever that means to you). It is a sacred practice that can be called upon to bring about states of grace, healing, and change. Through this expansive, heart-centered experience readers will explore their own existing feelings about prayer and learn to build a personal practice that is authentic and sustaining.

How can activists strike a balance between fighting for a cause and sustaining relationships with family, friends, and neighbors? Uncommon Cause follows environmental justice activists in Kerala, India, as they seek out, avoid, or strive to overcome conflicts between their causes and their community ties. John Mathias finds two contrasting approaches, each offering distinct possibilities for an activist life. One set of activists repudiates community ties and resists normative pressures; for them, environmental justice becomes a way of transcending all local identities and affiliations, even humanity itself. Other activists seek to ground their activism in community belonging, to fight for their own people. Each approach produces its own dilemmas and offers its own insights into ethical tensions we all face between taking a stand and standing with others. In sharing Kerala activists’ diverse stories, Uncommon Cause offers a fresh perspective on environmental ethics, showing that environmentalism, even as it looks beyond merely human concerns, is still fundamentally about how we relate to other people.

Tantra nemůže být záminkou pro radovánky. Jejím cílem není - jak se obvykle tvrdí - prožít "opravdovou slast". Tantrické "překonání předsudků" nesmí vést k požitkářství a ani uctívání ženského principu není cílem, ale jen nástrojem tantry. To i mnohem víc alespoň tvrdí tato kniha, která se ostře vymezuje proti konzumnímu duchovnu. Naopak, říká, cílem tantry je překonat lidská omezení, zapálit se vnitřním plamenem a zakusit stav božství a nesmrtelnosti. Julius Evola (1898-1974) byl vůdčí osobností na esoterickém poli své doby a jeho spisy se dodnes těší velké pozornosti. V tantře nacházel uchopení pomíjivého života a jeho přesměrování k nepomíjivým metám. Rozsáhlé znalosti z oblasti hermetismu, buddhismu a metafyziky sexu mu umožnily představit syntézu tantry jakožto neortodoxní nauky, která sahá na odvěké aspirace lidstva.

Alan Bennett''s classic story about Queen Elizabeth IIWhat would happen if the Queen became a reader of taste and discernment rather than of Dick Francis? The answer is a perfect story.The Uncommon Reader is none other than HM the Queen who drifts accidentally into reading when her corgis stray into a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace. She reads widely (JR Ackerley, Jean Genet, Ivy Compton Burnett and the classics) and intelligently. Her reading naturally changes her world view and her relationship with people like the oleaginous prime minister and his repellent advisers. She comes to question the prescribed order of the world and loses patience with much that she has to do. In short, her reading is subversive. The consequence is, of course, surprising, mildly shocking and very funny.

The Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 18 Minutes unlocks the secrets of highly successful leaders and pinpoints the missing ingredient that makes all the difference You have the opportunity to lead: to show up with confidence, connected to others, and committed to a purpose in a way that inspires others to follow. Maybe it’s in your workplace, or in your relationships, or simply in your own life.  But great leadership—leadership that aligns teams, inspires action, and achieves results—is hard. And what makes it hard isn’t theoretical, it’s practical. It’s not about knowing what to say or do.

It’s 1984, and Britain (now called Airstrip One) has long been absorbed into the larger trans-Atlantic nation of Oceania.

Courage can shape our lives, as well as the workplace and business outcomes. Willingness and ability to take risks make space for major decisions. And it’s more than something to admire in others: courage can be learned, and this book will teach you.Building on examples from a 30-year international career in marketing, coaching, and political activism, Florence Guesnet introduces the pioneering concept of the “courage zone.” This shifts courage from an unattainable heroism to a competence that can be built with five steps: recognize fear, perceive your heart''s desires, analyze reality, make a decision, and take the step. The book begins by strengthening the reader’s courage as an individual, inspiring a bold mindset and vision and including hands-on exercises. The book then goes on to show readers how to carry their courage into organizations and inspire others, addressing questions of governance, strategy, and everyday team encouragement against the backdrop of 21st century demands and typical paralyzing fears.Current and aspiring leaders in small, medium to large organizations will be empowered to take risks, surmount obstacles, and grab opportunities with this book’s effective tools to build courage in themselves and their teams.

Proč si tuto knihu přečíst Když Juli Zeh, jedna z nejoceňovanějších německých spisovatelek současnosti, napsala knihu o své lásce ke koním, vytvořila poetickou úvahu o jezdectví jako životní filozofii a vzniklo tak něco mezi životopisem, esejem a průvodcem uměním komunikace mezi jezdcem a koněm. Na vášeň pro jezdectví se tak můžete podívat z jiné perspektivy a nahlédnout do duševního života koně i jezdce. Poznáte, co člověka a koně spojuje a rozděluje, jak si lze získat důvěru koní a naučit se rozumět jejich řeči, aby jezdectví bylo radostí pro obě strany. Kniha vypráví o zvláštní, nádherné, někdy nebezpečné formě lásky. Přináší návod na to, jak zacházet s koňmi, které lidé milují a možná i odpověď na otázku, proč je kůň pro holky vášní na celý život.
