Ungovernable - Hart Simon
Over the course of five years, Simon Hart had a front-row seat to the most turbulent times in recent British political history. Ungovernable lifts the lid on life as an MP and chief whip during one of its most turbulent eras in modern-day Britain. From negotiations around Brexit to the impact of Liz Truss’s extraordinary forty-nine-day premiership and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he’s seen and heard it all.And starting in 2022, under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, he witnessed successive dramas unfold, all while holding down the (often misunderstood) position of chief whip. Astonishingly, during those whip years, Simon oversaw a near record fifteen Conservative MPs fall by the wayside. Three of these were resignations, including Nadine Dorries and the scandal of her disappearing peerage; two were defections to Labour; and the remaining ten were suspended by Simon for offences ranging from Matt Hancock’s unauthorized appearance on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here to Lee Anderson’s comments about the London Mayor.Each one of these involved an extensive build-up, a complicated process, and a noisy and vitriolic public commentary. None of this stopped him from becoming one of the few chief whips – of which there have been eleven since 2010 in fourteen consecutive years – to survive for an entire premiership. In a first-of-its-kind extraordinary look at life as a chief whip, Ungovernable is a revealing, real-time, blow-by-blow account – offering a glimpse of what truly goes on in Westminster behind closed doors.

WWE Superstar Natalya “Nattie” Neidhart—the longest-serving female wrestler in WWE history—invites readers inside her extraordinary journey, from her upbringing in the legendary Hart family home through her more than two decades in wrestlingWhile most children grow up running around with their friends, Nattie Neidhart was schooled in the Hart family Dungeon, in the shadow of her grandfather Stu Hart, father Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, and legendary uncles Bret and Owen Hart. With every body slam and piledriver, Nattie fought her own way into pro wrestling—the first and only woman in her family to do so—to become a two-time women’s world champion and one of the most visible, titled, and world record-holding Superstars in WWE. In this raw, unwaveringly honest memoir, Nattie opens up for the first time about her life as the legacy of the Hart family dynasty, candidly sharing untold details on: Her chaotic childhood in the boom-and-bust world of professional wrestling, including her family’s brush with homelessness Her father’s battles with addiction and other effects of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, leading to his eventual sudden death, and how they shaped her Her struggle to navigate the complex dynamics between the Hart family and WWE in the aftermath of the Montreal Screwjob, Owen Hart s tragic death, and her husband TJ Wilson’s near-fatal, career-ending, in-ring injury Her front-row seat to the rise of women’s wrestling and the resilience it took to thrive as a female wrestler at a time when what you looked like on screen was more important than how talented you were between the ropes From heart-pounding glory to devastating loss, The Last Hart Beating pulls no punches when it comes to the drama, hilarity, and outright mayhem of life inside the ring and out.

Pojem práva - H. L. A. Hart
Herbert Lionel Adolphus Hart (1907-1992), někdejší profesor právní teorie Oxfordské univerzity, patří mezi nejvýznamnější postavy právní filozofie 20. století a jeho kniha Pojem práva radikálním způsobem změnila tradiční pohledy na právo a jeho vztah k morálce i politice, na pojem přirozeného práva a spravedlnosti i na právní metodologii. Kromě pražského rodáka Hanse Kelsena bychom asi stěží hledali jiného právního teoretika, jehož jméno se stalo synonymem celého jednoho proudu právního myšlení - tzv. analytické jurisprudence. Od roku 1961, kdy byla kniha Pojem práva poprvé publikovaná, inspirovala několik generaci právníků, filozofů i politologů a bez nadsázky lze říci, že dějiny angloamerické právní filozofie a teorie posledních téměř pěti desetiletí jsou do značné míry obdobím kritického vyrovnávání se s Hartovou koncepci práva jako systému primárních a sekundárních pravidel. Hartovy slavné polemiky s americkým právním teoretikem Lonem L. Fullerem, v nichž se originálním způsobem oživil spor mezi pozitivním a přirozeným právem, měly rozhodující význam pro tak rozmanité školy právního myšleni, jaké představuje například dílo Ronalda Dworkina, Josepha Raze nebo Neila MacCormicka. Hartova schopnost skloubit tradiční právní dogmatiku s lingvistickými a sociologickými metodami působí i dnes mimořádně přesvědčivě a svěže. H. L. A. Hart však nebyl autorem jediné knihy a například jeho studie Law, Liberty and Morality (Právo, svoboda a morálka, 1963) a The Morality of the Criminal Law (Morálka trestního práva, 1965) jsou principiální obhajobou liberálních názorů na právo a politiku. Hart v nich polemizuje například s dobovými názory lorda Devlina a hájí tu koncepci práva, podle niž nelze právními prostředky regulovat sféru morálky. V tomto i mnoha dalších názorech tak Hart kriticky rozvíjí nejlepší tradici britského liberálního myšlení a filozofie, jak ji známe z díla Jeremyho Benthama, Johna Stuarta Milla nebo Johna Austina. Liberální motivy jsou ostatně příznačné i pro Pojem práva. Možnost seznámit se s tímto zcela klíčovým dílem moderní právní filozofie v českém překladu proto jistě uvíta nejen právnická veřejnost, ale také všichni, kdo se zajímají o politickou a morální teorii či o praktické otázky politického rozhodování a tvorby práva nebo jeho aplikace.

There was no book published this year, novels included, that I found richer in character; no plot more taut - Tom Holland, The Spectator A dazzling tour de force of epic royal history: a compulsive, unputdownable real-life thriller, a gripping portrait of ruthless power politics, and a study of British tyranny... written with the delicacy and elegance of one of Britainâ ™s most brilliant historians at the top of her game - Simon Sebag-Montefiore If ever a book of history was blessed with contemporary relevance, this one is. The dumbfounding, delusional, narcissistic King Richard; the white-knuckle ride of Henry IV, dogged all the way by notions of illegitimacy. I feel these men could have been ripped from todayâ ™s headlines. The bookâ ™s great achievement is in the storytelling â ” the unfolding drama, the secrets of power and ambition so beautifully controlled in the telling. The Eagle and the Hart will be a non-fiction book of the year and will deserve the ovations it is certain to receive. When history is this gripping thereâ ™s nothing like it - Andrew O HaganRichard of Bordeaux and Henry Bolingbroke were first cousins, born just three months apart. Their lives were from the beginning entwined. When they were still children, Richard was crowned King Richard II with Henry at his side, carrying the sword of state: a ten-year-old lord in the service of his ten-year-old king. Yet, as the animals on their heraldic badges showed, they grew up to be opposites: Richard was the white hart, a thin-skinned narcissist, and Henry the eagle, a chivalric hero, a leader who inspired loyalty where Richard inspired only fear. Henry had all the qualities Richard lacked, all the qualities a sovereign needed, bar one: birth right. Increasingly threatened by his charismatic cousin, Richard became consumed by the need for total power, in a time of constant conflict, rebellions and reprisals. When he banished Henry into exile, the stage was set for a final confrontation, as the hart became the tyrant and the eagle his usurper. Helen Castor tells this story of one of the strangest and most fateful relationships in English history. It is a story about power, and masculinity in crisis, and a nation brought to the brink of catastrophe. At its heart, it is the story of two men whose lives were played out in extraordinary parallel, to devastating effect.

An unforgettable tribute to the unbreakable bond between a father and sonWhen Simon McDermott first noticed his dad Ted⠙s sudden flares of temper and fits of forgetfulness, he couldn⠙t have guessed what lay ahead. Then came the devastating, inevitable diagnosis of Alzheimer⠙s. The dad Simon knew seemed to be drifting further away, and he had no idea how to reach him.Then, one day in the car, Simon hit play on Ted⠙s favourite song. And just like that, they were simply two mates driving around Blackburn, singing at the top of their lungs. That moment would change the course of their lives forever.Simon filmed their adventure, uploaded the video to YouTube and woke up to messages, tweets and his phone ringing off the hook. Their carpool karaoke had gone viral all the way across the globe.But a record deal, Pride of Britain Awards, over £130,000 raised for The Alzheimer⠙s Society and a Top 10 single later, Simon was still losing Ted. That⠙s when he made a decision. His Dad ⠓ the storyteller of his childhood and his best friend ⠓ couldn⠙t tell his own story, so Simon would tell it for him. This is that story.Full of poignant moments, the ups and downs of family life and treasured memories, The Songaminute Man is a story of two halves: a celebration of the man Ted was, and a powerful and moving account of caring for a loved one.

AS FEATURED ON BBC2 S BETWEEN THE COVERS THE TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLERA GUARDIAN, TELEGRAPH, THE TIMES, IRISH TIMES, ROUGH TRADE, MOJO, CLASH, ROLLING STONE, UNCUT BOOK OF THE YEARFrom award-winning musician and composer Warren Ellis comes the unexpected and inspiring story of a piece of chewing gum. FEATURING AN INTRODUCTION BY NICK CAVEâ ˜Warren has turned this memento, snatched from his idolâ ™s piano in a moment of rapture, into a genuine religious artefact.â ™NICK CAVE Such a mad, happy book about art and music and obsession. Iâ ™m so glad I got to read it. It made the world feel lighter. NEIL GAIMAN In praise of meaning-rich relics and magical things. Totally heartwarming project. MAX PORTER A unique study of a fanâ ™s devotion, of transcendence and of the artistic vocation â ” itâ ™s got depth and great warmth. Itâ ™s a beautiful piece of work. KEVIN BARRYI hadnâ ™t opened the towel that contained her gum since 2013. The last person to touch it was Nina Simone, her saliva and fingerprints unsullied. The idea that it was still in her towel was something I had drawn strength from. I thought each time I opened it some of Nina Simoneâ ™s spirit would vanish. In many ways that thought was more important than the gum itself.On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave s Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr Simone s piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, a conduit that would eventually take Ellis back to his childhood and his relationship with found objects, growing in significance with every passing year.Nina Simoneâ ™s Gum is about how something so small can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process, friendship, understanding and love. This is such a beautiful f*@king book. Thank you, Warren. I highly recommend this motherf*@ker. FLEA A beautifully written book about the power of music and objects. I powered through it in two days. COURTNEY BARNETT A moving, inspiration insight into a beautiful mind. JIM JARMUSCH The year s most eccentric and joyful musical memoir. DAILY TELEGRAPH (Books of the year) [Nina Simone s Gum] is a metaphor for [Ellis ] creativity â ” the blossoming of a small idea into something bigger and bolder â ” but also a journey inside the impulsive, improvisatory mind of Warren Ellis, his passions, obsessions and superstitions. OBSERVER [A] beautiful, strikingly idiosyncratic book â ” part memoir, part essay, part conceptual art project, all testament to humans at their strangest and best . . . [Ellis] sees signifiance where others might not. MOJO A glorious piece of object fetishism . . . Marvel as Ellis collection of eccentric personal mementos morphs into a celebration of the intangible wonder of music. UNCUT Wonderful. THE TIMES The most peculiar book I ve ever read.

Or maybe the alpaca disaster that went viral on YouTube.

Instead of talking about Simon, the astronomers who flock to the area are busy listening for signs of life in space.

I Put A Spell On You - Nina Simone
James Baldwin used to tell Nina Simone, This is the world you have made for yourself, now you have to live in it. Simone has created for herself a world of magnificent peaks. Often compared to Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, Simone is known as one of the greatest singers of her generation. She has recorded forty-three albums, ranging from blues to jazz to folk, and her hits like I Loves You, Porgy, My Baby Just Cares for Me, I Put a Spell on You, and Mississippi Goddam have confirmed her as an enduring force in popular music. Her song Young, Gifted, and Black became the anthem for the Civil Rights Movement and thrust her beyond international stardom into the center of activism. But such worlds as Simone s are not without their grim valleys: disastrous marriages, arrest and the threat of imprisonment, mental breakdown, poverty, and attempted suicide. She has survived these trials and continues to perform throughout Europe and the United States. With undiminished passion and in her unconquerable voice, this is Nina Simone s powerful memoir of her tempestuous life.

Jenže pak citlivá korespondence padne do nesprávných rukou a Simon se stane obětí vydírání: buď udělá, co se po něm chce, i když se mu to příčí, nebo riskuje, že si tajné e-maily přečte celá škola.

Cílem je najít cokoliv, čím by dokázal Jinxe povolat, vyvázat Izáka z jeho moci a zároveň zajistit, že ho nestráví kletba, kterou na něm zanechal Veripula. Jediným vodítkem je flash disk, který mu zanechala Sára. Obsahuje tajemný kód, který Simon není schopen přečíst. Možná je v Orákulu někdo, kdo to zvládne. Co disk ale skrývá? Tajemný rituál? Pekelné zaklínadlo? A proč se zdá, že má Orákulum vlastní tajemství, která se Simonem není ochotno sdílet? Pátá kniha o okultním právníkovi nás zavede do Itálie. Zde se Simon setkává se starým známým Harveyem a zjišťuje, že celá jeho dosavadní praxe nejspíš není nic víc než jen špičkou...

Já, Simon: Vyšlo také pod názvem Probuzení Simona Spiera (978-80-242-8687-7)
Kniha - autor Becky Albertalli, 296 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Šestnáctiletý Simon už nějakou dobu ví, že je gay, ale ještě není připravený sdělit to okolnímu světu. Jedinou výjimkou je tajemný Blue, se kterým si Simon už několik měsíců vyměňuje e-maily a jejich vzájemné pouto sílí. Jenže pak citlivá korespondence padne do nesprávných rukou a Simon se stane obětí vydírání: buď udělá, co se po něm chce, i když se mu to příčí, nebo riskuje, že si tajné e-maily přečte celá škola. V sázce je však ještě mnohem víc – plachého Bluea by nechtěná publicita mohla vyděsit a Simon už by nikdy nezjistil, kdo Blue ve skutečnosti je… Doporučený věk 13 +.

Lídři jedí poslední - Simon Sinek - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Jak vybuduji stabilní a a výkonný tým, ve kterém všichni usilují o dosažení společného cíle? Kde nepanuje cynismus a sobectví? Kde jsou si kolegové oporou? Simon Sinek, autor bestselleru Začněte s proč, studoval množství firem, v jejichž čele stojí lídři, kterým více než na sobě a na krátkodobých ziscích záleží na zaměstnancích. Své poznatky pak zpracoval do nové knihy Lídři jedí poslední, kde se jimi můžete inspirovat i vy. Armáda má jasno: důstojníci jedí poslední! Co je v jídelně spíše symbolickým gestem, dostává na bitevním poli vážnější rozměr. Ti nejlepší lídři obětují vlastní pohodlí a bezpečí pro dobro těch, kterým velí. Budují ve své firmě důvěru, pocit jistoty a podporují spolupráci. Jejich zaměstnanci pak táhnou za jeden provaz a dokážou čelit vnějším výzvám. Firmy jsou stabilní a dlouhodobě úspěšné. Tento princip používá lidstvo od dob lovců a sběračů a Simon Sinek ukazuje, že platí stále, možná víc než kdy jindy. Simon Sinek (1973) Simon Sinek je britsko-americký autor, motivační řečník a marketingový konzultant. Je autorem světových bestsellerů: „Začněte s PROČ“, „Lídři jedí poslední“ a „Objevte své PROČ“. Sinek zformuloval a popularizoval koncept „zlatého kruhu“, v jehož středu stojí „proč - vnitřní smysl existence nebo práce jednotlivce. Vzděláním je etnograf, a tak ho nepřestávají fascinovat lidé a organizace. Spolupracuje se společností Ernst Young, jíž pomáhá měnit firemní kulturu, nebo s renomovanou RAND Corporation. Spolupracuje nebo spolupracoval i s dalšími firmami a organizacemi, mezi nimi figurují například Microsoft, Disney, Mars, KPMG, Pfizer nebo americká armáda. Gustav Bubník (1962) Gustav Bubník je český televizní herec a dabér, syn hokejisty Augustina Bubníka. Vystudoval pražskou konzervatoř, po dokončení studia prošel angažmá v několika divadlech, např. v Kolíně, na Kladně či v Městských divadlech pražských. Později pracoval jako divadelní producent.

Pouštní pták (na útesech rocků) - Josef Šimon - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Z komentáře Vladimíra Justla k původnímu LP albu 1118 4193 Josef Šimon Pouštní pták (na útesech rocků) vydaného v roce 1987 v Supraphonu a nyní vycházejícímu poprvé digitálně: Řekneme-li básníci jazzové inspirace, vybaví se nám celá plejáda jmen autorů několika generací různých národů, nejčastěji američtí a angličtí beatníci, sovětští básníci z generace Vozněsenského, z našich především bluesový Josef Kainar a ragtimový Václav Hrabě. Básníci rockové inspirace není ještě zavedený pojem, a přece už je u nás autor, jemuž toto označení (nebudeme-li je považovat za vyčerpávající) patří plným právem. Je to JOSEF ŠIMON (nar. 1948), který vydal dosud pět sbírek básní: Snídaně v automatu (1976), Asfaltoví holubi (1978), Český den (1979), Pouštní pták (1981), Ať člověk . Melancholická kytara (1982). Šestá knížka s názvem Vyvolávač by měla vyjít ve stejné době jako tato gramofonová deska...Stejně totálně jako svět a ženu chápe Šimon i umění. Je mu celistvým postojem ke skutečnosti, jeho zdrojem je rozum i cit. Stejně tak slovo: je mu nejen slovem psaným, mluveným či zpívaným, ale především prostředkem tvorby. Šimon je alergický na slova skleníková , touží po ztotožnění, po osobní výpovědi. Proto ho láká hovořit své verše a docela je i zpívat. Je v tom i odmítání cizích mystifikací z interpretace vytváří prvek uměleckého obrazu. V tomto smyslu představuje Šimona právě tato gramofonová deska. Je to - zdá se - experiment. Ale má něco do sebe: jde o totální výpověď, kde hudba není doplňkem, ozdobou, náhodností, ale ani funkční možností je víc: nutností, tvoří se slovem dvojhlas, jednotu, společný svět....
