It s autumn 2018 and a young woman moves into a rented room in university accommodation, ready to begin a job as a research assistant at Oxford. Here, living and working in the spaces that have birthed the country s leaders, she is both outsider and insider, and she can t shake the feeling that real life is happening elsewhere. Eight months later she finds herself in London. She s landed a temp contract at a society magazine and is paying £80 a week to sleep on a stranger s sofa.

Strongmen - Ruth Ben-Ghiat

A gripping and illuminating picture of how strongmen have deployed violence, seduction, and corruption Daniel Ziblatt, co-author of How Democracies Die A timely analysis of how a certain kind of charisma delivers political disaster Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny Ours is the age of the strongman. Countries from Russia to India, Turkey to America are ruled by men who combine populist appeal with authoritarian policy. They have reshaped their countries around them, creating cults of personality which earn the loyalty of millions. And they do so by drawing on a playbook of behaviour established by figures such as Benito Mussolini, Muammar Gaddafi and Adolf Hitler. So why - despite the evidence of history - do strongmen still hold such appeal for us?Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat draws on analysis of everything from gender to corruption and propaganda to explain who these political figures are - and how they manipulate our own history, fears and desires in search of power at any cost. Strongmen is a fierce and perceptive history, and a vital step in understanding how to combat the forces which seek to derail democracy and seize our rights.

The Tale of the Tailor and the Three Dead Kings - Dan Jones

A chilling medieval ghost story, retold by bestselling historian Dan Jones. Published in a beautiful small-format hardback, perfect as a Halloween read or a Christmas gift. One winter, in the dark days of King Richard II, a tailor was riding home on the road from Gilling to Ampleforth. It was dank, wet and gloomy; he couldn t wait to get home and sit in front of a blazing fire.Then, out of nowhere, the tailor is knocked off his horse by a raven, who then transforms into a hideous dog, his mouth writhing with its own innards. The dog issues the tailor with a warning: he must go to a priest and ask for absolution and return to the road, or else there will be consequences...First recorded in the early fifteenth century by an unknown monk, The Tale of the Tailor and the Three Dead Kings was transcribed from the Latin by the great medievalist M.R. James in 1922. Building on that tradition, now bestselling historian Dan Jones retells this medieval ghost story in crisp and creepy prose.

The Gospel of Ruth - Carolyn Custis James

God is counting on his daughters to build his kingdom.This isn’t the Ruth you thought you knew. Award-winning author, Carolyn Custis James has unearthed startling new insights from a well-worn story that have life-changing implications for us today.Through careful and dynamic biblical scholarship, rediscover the story of Ruth and its characters. Naomi is no longer regarded as a bitter, complaining woman, but as a courageous overcomer. Ruth, typically admired for her devotion to Naomi, is seen as a gutsy risk-taker and a powerful agent for change among God’s people. Boaz, the Kinsman Redeemer, is repeatedly caught off-guard by Ruth’s initiatives. His partnership with her models the kind of relationships that the gospel intends for all who follow Jesus.Carolyn Custis James drills down deeper into the story where she uncovers in the Old Testament the same passionate, counter-cultural, rule-breaking gospel that Jesus modeled and taught his followers to pursue. Within this age-old story is a map to radical levels of love and sacrifice.The Gospel of Ruth vests every woman’s life with kingdom purposes and frees us to embrace wholeheartedly God’s calling. This story of two women who have lost everything contains a profound message: God created women not to live in the shadowy margins of men or of the past, but to emerge as courageous activists for his kingdom.

Breaking Babe Ruth - Edmund F. Wehrle

Rather than as a Falstaffian figure of limited intellect, Edmund Wehrle reveals Babe Ruth as an ambitious, independent operator, one not afraid to challenge baseballâ ™s draconian labor system. To the baseball establishment, Ruthâ ™s immense popularity represented opportunity, but his rebelliousness and potential to overturn the status quo presented a threat. After a decades-long campaign waged by baseball to contain and discredit him, the Babe, frustrated and struggling with injuries and illness, grew more acquiescent, but the image of Ruth that baseball perpetuated still informs how many people remember Babe Ruth to this day. This new perspective, approaching Ruth more seriously and placing his life in fuller context, is long overdue.

Ruth Asawa and the Artist-Mother at Midcentury - Jordan Troeller

How a group of artist-mothers in postwar San Francisco refused the centuries-old belief that a woman could not make art while also raising children.For most of modern history, to be an artist and a mother was to embody a contradiction in terms. This “awful dichotomy,” as painter Alice Neel put it, pitted artmaking against caretaking and argued that the best art was made at the expense of family and futurity. But in San Francisco in the 1950s and 1960s, a group of artists gathered around Ruth Asawa (1926–2013) began to reject this dominant narrative. In Ruth Asawa and the Artist-Mother at Midcentury, Jordan Troeller analyzes this remarkable moment. Insisting that their labor as mothers fueled their labor as artists, these women redefined key aesthetic concerns of their era, including autonomy, medium specificity, and originality.Delving into the archive, where the traces of motherhood have not yet been erased from official history, Troeller reveals Ruth Asawa’s personal and professional dialogue with several other artist-mothers, including Merry Renk, Imogen Cunningham, and Sally Woodbridge. For these women, motherhood was not an essentialized identity, but rather a means to reimagine the terms of artmaking outside of the patriarchal policing of reproduction. This project unfolded in three broad areas, which also structure the book’s chapters: domesticity and decoration; metaphors for creativity; and maternal labor in the public sphere, especially in the public schools. Drawing on queer theory and feminist writings, Troeller argues that in belatedly accounting for the figure of the artist-mother, art history must reckon with an emergent paradigm of artmaking, one predicated on reciprocity, caretaking, and futurity.

Garlic And Sapphires - Ruth Reichl

Genuinely touching, wonderfully revealing NEW YORKERGarlic and Sapphires is Ruth Reichl s riotous account of the many disguises she employs to dine undetected when she takes on the much coveted and highly prestigious job of New York Times restaurant critic.____________________________________________________Reichl knows that to be a good critic she has to be anonymous - but her picture is posted in every four-star, low-star kitchen in town and so she embarks on an extraordinary - and hilarious - undercover game of disguise - keeping even her husband and son in the dark. There is her stint as Molly, a frumpy blonde in an off-beige Armani suit that Ruth takes on when reviewing Le Cirque resulting in a double review of the restaurant: first she ate there as Molly; and then as she was coddled and pampered on her visit there as Ruth, New York Times food critic. Then there is the eccentric, mysterious red head on whom her husband - both disconcertingly and reassuringly - develops a terrible crush. She becomes Brenda the earth mother, Chloe the seductress and even Miriam her own (deceased) mother.What is even more remarkable about Reichl s spy games is that as she takes on these various guises, she finds herself changed not just physically, but also in character revealing how one s outer appearance can very much influence one s inner character, expectations, and appetites.

Pravdivý život - Ruth Valeriová

Globalizace a konzumerismus ovlivňují každou oblast našeho života. Nejde jen o nakupování. Tyto mocné síly utvářejí i náš osobní život, ovlivňují, jak se k sobě navzájem chováme, jak se díváme na svět - a především mají zhoubný dopad na život chudých lidí a na zdravotní stav planety. Každý křesťan každé generace v dějinách si musel ujasnit, co v jeho kultuře obnáší pojem služba a následování Krista. Ruth Valeriová se nad těmito otázkami zamýšlí v důkladně propracované knize, která není jen pouhým popisem situace kolem nás, ale především návodem, jak bychom se měli zhostit svého křesťanského poslání. Kniha představuje úvahy o ekologických otázkách ve spojitosti s křesťanskou etikou. O autorce: Ruth Valeriová - Britská spisovatelka, akademická teoložka, ochránkyně životního prostředí, aktivistka, matka a pěstitelka zeleniny, která zároveň provozuje vepřín a fairtradový obchod s klenoty, považuje víru za podstatu svého života a usiluje o sociální spravedlnost, rovnost mezi lidmi a čistotu životního prostředí. Pracuje pro křesťanskou charitativní organizaci A Rocha UK (žije v Chichestru ve Velké Británii), jejímž cílem je ochrana a obnova přirozeného životního prostředí. Ochranu celé Boží země nepovažuje za dobrovolný přívažek ke křesťanskému životu, ale za jeho hlavní náplň. Studovala na Cambridgeské univerzitě a na Londýnské teologické škole, doktorát má z Kings College a nejvíce ji přitahuje učení Tomáše Akvinského. Často píše o spravedlnosti, životním prostředí a životním stylu.

Ruth Maierová se v roce 1920 narodila do vídeňské židovské rodiny. Poté, co se v předvečer jejích 18. narozenin odehrála Křišťálová noc, nebylo už na co čekat – Ruth emigrovala do Norska. Nacistický teror ji však dostihl i tam, a tak byla deportována do Osvětimi. Její deníky spatřily světlo světa až ve 21. století a jsou víc než svědectvím doby: potkáváme v nich inteligentní ženu, jež zkoumá podstatu lidství a spravedlnosti i v těch nejtemnějších časech.

Víc štěstí než rozumu - Ruth Bondyová

Kniha izraelské novinářky, publicistky a překladatelky Ruth Bondyové, je zamyšlením nad autorčinou životní cestou, prvním ohlédnutím za vlastním osudem. Světy, které poznala, dnes už zaniklé nebo zanikající, evokuje jemnými náznaky, zlomky vzpomínek, nenásilnými asociacemi. Rodinné kořeny na českém venkově, atmosféra předválečné židovské Prahy, sionistické mládežnické hnutí v Čechách, válka, první kroky v Izraeli, úspěšná dráha publicistky a překladatelky, obraz toho všeho skládá z drobných zlomků, které vytvářejí netušeně plastickou fresku. Ruth Bondyová se narodila r. 1923 v Praze. Po příchodu nacistických okupantů byla nucena opustit obchodní školu a později byla deportována do terezínského ghetta. Až do konce války byla vězněna v koncentračních táborech. Koncem roku 1948 odjela s brigádou čs. dobrovolníků do právě vyhlášeného Státu Izrael, aby bojovala za jeho nezávislost. V Izraeli se usadila natrvalo a stala se známou novinářkou, publicistkou a překladatelkou české literatury. Díky ní poznali izraelští čtenáři například Haška, Čapka, ale také Fukse, Hrabala či Kunderu. Sama je autorkou několika biografických děl (o terezínském starším J. Edelsteinovi, izraelském ministru financí P. Rozenovi a pozoruhodném odbojáři E. Serenim, o lékaři dr. Ch. Šibovi), knižně vyšly i její novinářské sloupky.
