Dorothy Parker, more than any of her contemporaries, captured the spirit of the Jazz Age in her poetry and prose, and The Collected Dorothy Parker includes an introduction by Brendan Gill in Penguin Modern Classics.Dorothy Parker was the most talked-about woman of her day, notorious as the hard-drinking bad girl with a talent for stinging repartee and endlessly quotable one-liners. The decadent 1920s and 1930s in New York were a time of great experiment and daring for women. For the rich, life seemed a continual party, but the excesses took their emotional toll. In the bitingly witty poems and stories collected here, along with her articles and reviews, she brilliantly captures the spirit of the decadent Jazz Age in New York, exposing both the dazzle and the darkness. But beneath the sharp perceptions and acidic humour, much of her work poignantly expresses the deep vulnerability of a troubled, self-destructive woman who, in the words of philosopher Irwin Edman, was ''a Sappho who could combine a heartbreak with a wisecrack''.Dorothy Parker (1893-1967) was born in West End, New Jersey, and grew up in New York. In 1916 she sold some of her poetry to the editor of Vogue, and was subsequently ... Unknown localization key: "more"

William''s beloved sister was his muse, champion, and most valued reader. She is mythologised as a self-effacing spinster and saintly amanuensis, yet Thomas De Quincey described her as ''all fire and ardour''.

In her Grasmere Journals, she vividly recorded their intimate life together in the Lake District, marked by a startling freedom from social convention.

A brilliant young environmental journalist argues that we must innovate and adapt to save planet Earth in this enlightening “trip around the world to meet people working out new ways for humanity to live as well as survive” (The New York Times Book Review).With the historical perspective of The Song of the Dodo and the urgency of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, The Unnatural World chronicles a disparate band of unlikely heroes: an effervescent mad scientist who would fertilize the seas; a pigeon obsessive bent on bringing back the extinct; a low-level government functionary in China doing his best to clean up his city, and more. These scientists, billionaires, and ordinary people are all working toward saving the best home humanity is ever likely to have. What is the threat? It is us. In a time when a species dies out every ten minutes, when summers are getting hotter, winters colder, and oceans higher, some people still deny mankind’s effect on the Earth. But all of our impacts on the planet have ushered in what qualifies as a new geologic epoch, thanks to global warming, mass extinction, and such technologies as nuclear weapons and plastics. “A futurist ray of hope ...

A lavishly illustrated look at how evolution plays out in selective breedingUnnatural Selection is a stunningly illustrated book about selective breeding—the ongoing transformation of animals at the hand of man. More important, it''s a book about selective breeding on a far, far grander scale—a scale that encompasses all life on Earth. We''d call it evolution.A unique fusion of art, science, and history, this book is intended as a tribute to what Charles Darwin might have achieved had he possessed that elusive missing piece to the evolutionary puzzle—the knowledge of how individual traits are passed from one generation to the next. With the benefit of a century and a half of hindsight, Katrina van Grouw explains evolution by building on the analogy that Darwin himself used—comparing the selective breeding process with natural selection in the wild, and, like Darwin, featuring a multitude of fascinating examples.This is more than just a book about pets and livestock, however. The revelation of Unnatural Selection is that identical traits can occur in all animals, wild and domesticated, and both are governed by the same evolutionary principles. As van Grouw shows, animals are plastic things, constantly changing. In wild animals, the changes are usually too slow ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, G.K. Chesterton and nine other writers from the legendary Detection Club collaborate in this fiendishly clever but forgotten crime novel first published 80 years ago. Inspector Rudge does not encounter many cases of murder in the sleepy seaside town of Whynmouth. But when an old sailor lands a rowing boat containing a fresh corpse with a stab wound to the chest, the Inspector's investigation immediately comes up against several obstacles. The vicar, whose boat the body was found in, is clearly withholding information, and the victim's niece has disappeared. There is clearly more to this case than meets the eye - even the identity of the victim is called into doubt. Inspector Rudge begins to wonder just how many people have contributed to this extraordinary crime and whether he will ever unravel it... In 1931, Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and ten other crime writers from the newly-formed `Detection Club' collaborated in publishing a unique crime novel.

Svět přijal myšlenku, že pohlaví je něco, o čem může rozhodovat člověk. Stále častěji se setkáváme s kolegy, přáteli a rodinnými příslušníky, kteří se identifikují s jiným pohlavím, než s jakým se narodili. Jak máme s takovými lidmi jednat? Potřebujeme být informováni a vybaveni znalostmi o dané problematice, měli bychom znát význam příslušných pojmů a potřebujeme vědět, co o těchto věcech říká Stvořitel, který svou vůli vyjádřil v Bibli. Sharon Jamesová nám v této informativní a praktické příručce pomáhá kráčet po tenké hranici mezi láskou k bližnímu a odmítáním lží světa, a přitom neztratit rovnováhu.

Audiokniha: Cyklus 12 rozhlasových her o životě Ježíše Krista. Dorothy Leigh Sayersová se této látky chopila jako zkušená spisovatelka- a přitom s pokorou a s úctou k biblické látce, k níž přibrala pár legend, které se k biblickému vyprávění později připojili. V každém příběhu uslyšíte úryvek z Ježíšova příběhu, tak jak jej zachytil některý z evangelistů. Potom kulisy oživnou , rozpovídají se a vy jste svědky mezihry, která v bibli takto zapsána není. Tady už v sobě Dorothy Leigh Sayersová detektivářku nezapře.

Autorka volně navazuje na své předešlé publikace s národopisnou tematikou, respektive její nenásilnou popularizaci. Tentokrát stylizuje knihu do podoby starobylých kalendářů, které bývaly oblíbenou četbou ve venkovských domácnostech. Přístupnou a čtivou formou vyprávění dvou mladých lidí přibližuje čtenáři všední i sváteční život na vesnici ve druhé polovině 19. století. Ve výpovědi běžných i neobvyklých událostí jednoho roku se tu střídají mládenec Jakub a jeho milá Dorotka. Lze snad prozradit, že rok pro ně skončí veselkou, tedy šťastně… Důležitější je totiž podoba knížky, jež navazuje na starobylé kalendáře, přinášející čtenářům kromě praktických údajů také vyprávění, pranostiky, říkadla a písničky, zajímavé recepty a obrázky. Jeden rok života Dorotky a Jakuba tak Kamila Skopová ve své desáté knize doplňuje vedle svých nezaměnitelných obrázků i půvabnou lidovou slovesností, pranostikami, praktickými návody a ovšem - i tradičními recepty lidové kuchyně.

When Dorothy Pilley first began climbing in the 1910s, female mountaineers were seen as a dangerous liability, their achievements ignored, unrecorded or disbelieved. Undeterred, Dorothy proved herself on the vertiginous slopes of Wales, Scotland and the Lake District before tackling rock faces in the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Rockies, Mount Fuji and the Himalayas. Her tireless championing of fellow women climbers and her own trailblazing example helped establish female alpinists as serious mountaineers with impressive records on bravery, skill and endurance. First published in 1935, Climbing Days tells a daredevil tale of adventure, near-death slips and rapturous achievement in high places, interleaved with moments highlighting the particular challenges of being a woman in a sport seen as the province of men.
