Volanie temnoty - Hugh Conway
Hlavný hrdina románu Volanie temnoty Gilbert Vaughan - bohatý, ale slepý mladý muž sa vďaka zvláštnej súhre náhod stane svedkom brutálnej vraždy. Páchateľov však nemôže vidieť, iba počuť. Po zdĺhavej a bolestivej liečbe sa mu zrak vráti a počas potuliek v Taliansku sa zamiluje do tajomnej dievčiny. Záhadná kráska je osudným spôsobom spojená s ohavným činom, ktorého bol mládenec pred časom svedkom a spomienka na krvavú udalosť jej zatemnila myseľ. Kvôli svojej láske sa Vaughan rozhodne vypátrať páchateľov a musí podstúpiť nebezpečnú cestu z Londýna do ruského Peterburgu a do cárskych temníc na Sibíri. Viktoriánsky pohľad na zločiny, milostné záležitosti, exotické cesty, ale aj politický fanatizmus je dodnes mimoriadne fascinujúci a román Hugha Conwaya preto nestratil nič na svojej príťažlivosti.

Book of Life - Deborah Conway
"A no-holds-barred memoir that charts the rise and fall - and rise - of one of Australia''s most iconic music performers.You think you know Deborah Conway? You think seeing her striding and scowling down Sydney''s back streets in an oversize coat or galavanting around a golf course wearing a close approximation of plus fours means you know who Deborah Conway is? She figures you probably don''t know the half of it.

Volanie divočiny - Jack London
Buck je pes žijúci na farme životom privilegovaného domáceho zvieraťa. O Zlatej horúčke na Klondike ani nechyruje, no predsa mu vidina zlata, ktorá zachvátila polovicu sveta, prevráti život naruby. Vytrhnutý z kultivovaného prostredia zámožnej rodiny sa náhle ocitá v drsnom svete, kde vládne zákon palice a tesáka a kde sa za chyby kruto platí.V psom záprahu musí Buck strpieť nejednu nespravodlivosť, no zakúša v ňom nielen drinu a tvrdosť života, ale aj surovú krásu divočiny, pocit nespútaného dobrodružstva, priateľstvo, lásku. Jeden po druhom zo seba striasa nánosy civilizácie a čím viac sa ich zbavuje, tým jasnejšie mu v ušiach znie volanie, pieseň jeho vlčích predkov. Ako Buck objavuje divočinu a nachádza v nej svoje miesto, cíti sa v nej postupne viac doma ako na rohožke pred kozubom. Zisťuje, že nielen on má miesto v divočine, ale aj divočina v ňom a že splývajú vedno cez prúdy času a bytia ako legenda, ktorá sa nikdy nekončí.Jack London očami Bucka vyrozprával jeden z najmilších príbehov o psej duši, aké kedy boli napísané. Volanie divočiny sa právom radí medzi klasiku, ktorá nestarne a aj po rokoch si získava srdcia čitateľov.

Volanie sirén - Chris Hayes
Niekto vám niečo ukradol – vašu pozornosť. Poznáte ten pocit. Chcete sa sústrediť, ale nedá sa. Telefón pípne, vyskočí notifikácia a algoritmus vás vtiahne do víru ďalších a ďalších podnetov. Ani si nevšimnete, že už sami nerozhodujete o tom, čomu chcete venovať pozornosť.Chris Hayes, novinár, moderátor a autor bestsellerov, vo svojej silnej a odvážnej knihe Volanie sirén ukazuje, ako sa pozornosť stala najvzácnejším a najohrozenejším tovarom súčasnosti. Tento „útok na pozornosť“ nezostáva bez následkov – nielen na naše duševné zdravie, ale aj na spoločnosť, politiku a medziľudské vzťahy. Digitálne sirény neodpočívajú, zvonia v našich kuchyniach, v spálňach, v hlavách. A my sme ich zraniteľnou korisťou.Volanie sirén je vizionárskou analýzou aj výzvou k činu. Prináša nový rámec, v ktorom môžeme pochopiť, čo sa s nami deje, a najmä, čo sa s tým dá urobiť. Lebo v hre je viac než len sústredenie – ide o návrat k sebe samým, k demokracii a k ľudskosti.

Liberal Bullies - Luke Conway
The political left has an urgent and rising problem with authoritarianism. An alarmingly high percentage of self-identified progressives are punitive, bullying, and intolerant of disagreement – and the problem is getting worse.Using his own cutting-edge research, leading psychologist Luke Conway shows that it’s not just right-wing extremists who long for an authority figure to crush their enemies, silence opponents and restore order; it’ s also those who preach ‘be kind’ and celebrate their ‘inclusivity.’ A persistent proportion of left-wingers demonstrate authoritarian tendencies, and they’re becoming more emboldened as they gain cultural and political power. On a range of scientific and social issues, they are increasingly advocating censorship over free debate, disregarding the rule of law, and dehumanising their opponents. These tendencies are part of an accelerating ‘threat circle’ of mutual hatred and fear between left and right that could tear apart our basic democratic norms.Concluding with an eloquent call for firm but rational resistance to this rising tide of liberal bullying, Conway presents a way forward for our hyper-partisan era.

Agnes Varda - Kelley Conway
Both a precursor to and a critical member of the French New Wave, Agnès Varda weaves documentary and fiction into tapestries that portray distinctive places and complex human beings. Critics and aficionados have celebrated Varda''s independence and originality since the New Wave touchstone Cleo from 5 to 7 (1962) brought her a level of international acclaim she has yet to relinquish. Film historian Kelley Conway traces Varda''s works from her 1954 debut La Pointe Courte through a varied career that includes nonfiction and fiction shorts and features, installation art, and the triumphant 2008 documentary The Beaches of Agnès . Drawing on Varda''s archives and conversations with the filmmaker, Conway focuses on the concrete details of how Varda makes films: a project''s emergence, its development and the shifting forms of its screenplay, the search for financing, and the execution from casting through editing and exhibition. In the process, she departs from film history''s traditional view of the French New Wave and reveals one artist''s nontraditional trajectory through independent filmmaking. The result is an intimate consideration that reveals the artistic consistencies and bold changes in the career of one of the world''s most exuberant and intriguing directors.

Elektronická kniha - autor Piotr Glas, 208 stran, slovensky „Aby svet spoznal, aký veľký je hnev nebeského Otca voči súčasnému svetu, Boh pripravuje veľké očistenie celého ľudstva.“ Matka Božia v Akite Otec Stefano Gobbi, „tajomník“ Matky Božej, napísal, že Mária je hrozivá a mocná zároveň. Hrozivá pre všetko, čo je démonické, a mocná, keď nás chráni. Ako chápať udalosti posledných desaťročí? Čo nám chce Mária povedať o časoch zmätku, v ktorých žijeme? Aká nádej nám ostáva? Otec Piotr Glas, ktorý celý svoj kňazský život zasvätil Márii, nás vedie prostredníctvom posolstiev našej Matky – vo Fatime, Akite, Kibeho a La Salette –, kde Mária volala po zmene ľudského srdca. Jej volania sú odpoveďou na súčasnú krízu viery. Sú to konkrétne smerovky zamerané na to, čo máme robiť, aby sme sa pripravili na príchod nášho Pána. V čase morálnej a duchovnej tragédie Cirkvi, v čase drámy viery laikov i kňazov je hlas z neba a volanie Márie jedinou záchranou,...

Hugh Despenser the Younger and Edward II - Kathryn Warner
Hugh Despenser the Younger and Edward II tells the story of ‘the greatest villain of the fourteenth century’, his dazzling rise as favorite to the king and his disastrous fall.Born in the late 1280s, Hugh married King Edward I of England’s eldest granddaughter when he was a teenager. Ambitious and greedy to an astonishing degree, Hugh chose a startling route to power: he seduced his wife’s uncle, the young King Edward II, and became the richest and most powerful man in the country in the 1320s. For years he dominated the English government and foreign policy, and took whatever lands he felt like by both quasi-legal and illegal methods, with the king’s connivance. His actions were to bring both himself and Edward II down, and Hugh was directly responsible for the first forced abdication of a king in English history; he had made the horrible mistake of alienating and insulting Edward’s queen Isabella of France, who loathed him, and who had him slowly and grotesquely executed in her presence in November 1326.

Merchants of Doubt - Erik M. Conway, Naomi Oreskes
The U.S. scientific community has long led the world in research on such areas as public health, environmental science, and issues affecting quality of life. Our scientists have produced landmark studies on the dangers of DDT, tobacco smoke, acid rain, and global warming. But at the same time, a small yet potent subset of this community leads the world in vehement denial of these dangers.Merchants of Doubt tells the story of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. Remarkably, the same individuals surface repeatedly - some of the same figures who have claimed that the science of global warming is "not settled" denied the truth of studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. "Doubt is our product," wrote one tobacco executive. These ''experts'' supplied it. Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway, historians of science, roll back the rug on this dark corner of the American scientific community, showing how ideology and corporate interests, aided by a too-compliant media, have skewed public understanding of some of ...

The Spanish Civil War - Hugh Thomas
Since its first publication, Hugh Thomas''s The Spanish Civil War has become established as the definitive one-volume history of a conflict that continues to provoke intense controversy today. What was it that roused left-wing sympathizers from all over the world to fight against Franco between 1936 and 1939? Why did the British and US governments refuse to intervene? And why did the Republican cause collapse so violently? Now revised and updated, Hugh Thomas''s classic account presents the most objective and unbiased analysis of a passionate struggle where fascism and democracy, communism and Catholicism were at stake - and which was as much an international war as a Spanish one.

Landscapes of Silence - Hugh Brody
This is a book about silences. And land. Renowned anthropologist and film-maker Hugh Brody weaves a dazzling tapestry of personal memory and distant landscapes: childhood in England in the shadow of the Second World War, the Derbyshire hills, a kibbutz in Israel and the deep Canadian Arctic. Growing up on the outskirts of Sheffield, Hugh Brody ate roast beef and Yorkshire pudding but was always given to understand that the real, the perfect food came from his mother’s home, Vienna. He attended Hebrew classes three times each week but was sent off to a Church of England boarding school. Conflicted and bewildered, he sought places to which he could escape – but everywhere he discovered deep and troubling silences.He takes us on his first journeys to the Arctic, a world so far removed from anything he had known as to be a chance to learn, all over again, what it can mean to be alive. As he reveals, the realities of the far north were a joy, but even there he found abuses of the people and the land – and voices that were deeply silenced by the forces of colonialism.In these landscapes, human well-being appears to be both possible ...

The Green Road Into The Trees - Hugh Thomson
WINNER OF THE 2014 THWAITES WAINWRIGHT PRIZEIn the past, Hugh Thomson has written acclaimed books about Peru, Mexico and the Indian Himalaya. Now he returns to the most exotic and foreign country of them all – his own. Walking right across England, along ancient trackways and green grass roads, Hugh explores the way the country was and the way it is today: the legends, literature and natural world that define us, and the undercurrent of regret running throughout our history; what he calls ‘the unicorn disappearing into the trees’.From coast-to-coast and through the heart of the countryside, he shows how older,forgotten cultures like the Celts, Saxons and Vikings lie much closer to the surface than we may think. It is a journey enriched and partly told by the characters he meets along the way. By taking it, Hugh casts unexpected light – and humour – on the way we live now.

The Watch Man – Balnakiel: Shona Illingworth - Caterina Albano, Professor Martin A. Conway
This publication revolves around two key works by the artist Shona Illingworth. Made one after the other between 2006 and 2009, the video and sound installations The Watch Man and Balnakiel are highly personal but extraordinarily resonant studies of memory, history and place that examine the damage that is done to the psyche by the experience of war and the equally pervasive and insidious marks that have been left on the physical landscape by the presence of the military. Informed by a longstanding collaboration between the artist and the cognitive neuro-psychologist Professor Martin A. Conway (whose written contributions and distinctive ‘memory drawings’ punctuate the book), the background to these pieces is further elaborated in a trio of specially commissioned essays by Caterina Albano, Jill Bennett and Steven Bode.

A Short History of the American Revolutionary War - Stephen Conway
The American war against British imperial rule (1775-1783) was the world''s first great popular revolution. Ideologically defined by the colonists'' formal Declaration of Independence in 1776, the struggle has taken on something of a mythic character. From the Boston Tea Party to Paul Revere''s ride to raise the countryside of New England against the march of the Redcoats; and from the American travails of Bunker Hill (1775) to the final humiliation of the British at Yorktown (1781), the entire contest is now emblematic of American national identity. Stephen Conway shows that, beyond mythology, this was more than just a local conflict: rather a titanic struggle between France and Britain. The Thirteen Colonies were merely one frontline of an extended theatre of operations, with each superpower aiming to deliver the knockout blow. This bold new history recognizes the war as the Revolution but situates it on the wider, global canvas of European warfare.
