Something in the Water explores the inner workings of England''s football-talent hotbeds, investigating how these areas so often create elite footballers. For decades working-class northern towns have churned out players like a factory conveyor belt - places like Huyton, a town of just over 33,000 that has produced the likes of Steven Gerrard, Peter Reid, David Nugent, Joey Barton and Tony Hibbert. However, the emergence of south London as the new-school hotbed is exciting. Players produced here are like nothing seen before in England. The concrete Catalonia is home to a new generation of stars such as Jadon Sancho, Wilf Zaha, Joe Gomez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Joe Aribo and others. Bringing together the thoughts and ideas of those involved at every level of the game - from the south London estate cages to the heights of the Premier League and Europe''s elite - the book unearths the secrets of two distinct types of hotbed that represent the past, present and possible future of English football.

Gypsies have been a part of the British and European social fabric for centuries – and have faced prejudice and oppression for nearly as long, since at least the time of Henry VIII. Theirs is a peripatetic existence, dwelling in tents and in caravans and living often precariously at the edges of towns and villages, moving on in search of opportunities or as mainstream society drives them away. Gypsies of Britain explores the history of this unique lifestyle, looking at how Gypsies have maintained their distinctive culture and how they have adapted to the twenty-first century, and shedding light on a range of traditional Gypsy occupations including harvesting, horse-dealing, fortune-telling and rat-catching. Archive illustrations and modern photographs depict their lives, work and ornately carved and painted caravans.

Published to coincide with this ''remarkable achievement'' and in the anniversary year, Dear Mr Murray is a collection of some of the best letters from the hundreds of thousands held in the John Murray Archive.

The first appearance of this award-winning writer''s work since the 1940s, this collection, which includes an introduction by John Ashbery, restores Joan Murray''s striking poetry to its originally intended form.Though John Ashbery hailed Joan Murray as a key influence on his work, Murray’s sole collection, Poems, published after her death at the early age of twenty-four and selected by W. H. Auden for inclusion in the Yale Series of Younger Poets, has been almost entirely unavailable for the better part of half a century. Poems was put together by Grant Code, a close friend of Murray’s mother, and when Murray’s papers, long thought to be lost, reappeared in 2013, it became clear that Code had exercised a heavy editorial hand. This new collection, edited by Farnoosh Fathi from Murray’s original manuscripts, restores Murray’s raw lyricism and visionary lines, while also including a good deal of previously unpublished work, as well as a selection of her exuberant letters.

Drawing from intensive on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon, Murray presents a compelling case that places the latest violence in its proper historical context. He takes readers on a harrowing journey through the aftermath of the 7th October massacre, piecing together the exclusive accounts from victims, survivors and even the terrorists responsible for the atrocities. On Democracies and Death Cults illustrates how Israel's commitment to fundamental Western values - capitalism, individual rights, democracy, and reason - has made it a beacon of progress in a region dominated by authoritarianism and extremism.Murray contrasts Israel's principles with the ideology of Hamas, which openly proclaims its love of death over life.

As we meditate on the words He spoke on earth, let us yield to his teaching, in the fullest confidence that, with such a teacher, we shall make progress.

Douglas Murray odvážně popisuje a jasně vysvětluje tragické problémy, které se vynořily v západním světě jako důsledek ztráty orientace a smyslu lidské existence. Vznikla nová utopická ideologie společenské spravedlnosti, jež nesmiřitelně prosazuje radikální přestavbu společnosti na základě domnělých práv rasových a sexuálních menšin (i většinových žen). Tato ideologie proniká do hlavního proudu politiky, ovládla veřejný diskurz a stala se novou státní legitimitou. Je však zmatená a absurdní, a tak vede doslova k masovému šílenství. Jak píše Murray: "Vypjaté projevy znechucení na veřejnosti i v soukromí se opakují stále častěji, lidé se chovají jako v horečce, reagují stádně, anebo jako by si potřebovali nepřetržitě a vulgárně ulevovat. Každodenní zprávy nám předkládají důsledky takového chování, ale příčiny nám unikají." Na straně "progresivistů" vystupují globální americké firmy, zejména Google, Amazon, Twitter a Facebook, jež získaly moc "určovat lidem, co mají znát, o čem přemýšlet a mluvit”. Autor popisuje paradoxy a protimluvy tohoto šílenství, které se snaží potlačit normální zdravý rozum (např. výrokem, že ženy a muži jsou stejní). Murray rozebírá matoucí ideologii a její novořeč: "komunita LBGTQ", "bělošské privilegium", "toxické mužství" nebo "transfobie" a nabízí možnost, jak se nenechat ovládnout takzvanou "politickou korektností”, jež je naprosto scestná. Autor ukazuje, že pro záchranu západní ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Už delší dobu to vypadá, že se na Západě hroutí snášenlivá společnost humánních civilizačních zásad, které jí dosud zajišťovaly soudržnost a rozvoj. Média podléhají cenzuře politické ideologie "sociální spravedlnosti” a univerzity indoktrinují mládež revoluční vizí nové společnosti. "Všechno, co jsme pokládali za rozumné a dané”, píše Murray, "se nyní nachází pod palbou nenávistné kritiky”. Máme-li i tentokrát zvítězit nad fašismem a komunismem, musíme demaskovat vnitřního nepřítele. Není to snadné, pseudoprogresivistické hnutí "uvědomělých (woke)” bojůvek používá proměnlivý jazyk utopické "absolutní rovnosti rasových a sexuálních menšin” a svou novořečí dokáže posluchače často zmást. V útoku na západní civilizaci zneužívá americký komplex z otrokářství ("Na černošských životech záleží!”) a obviněním z rasismu útočí na liberální politickou tradici, západní filosofii, literaturu, umění a dokonce i exaktní vědy jako na pozůstatky rasistické imperialistické politiky "bílých mrtvých mužů”, kterou je nutno od základu vyvrátit a vybudovat novou, spravedlivou, multikulturní a beztřídní společnost. Murray dramaticky líčí, jak ideologie anti-rasismu pronikla do myšlení západní elity, jak ovlivňuje chod škol a institucí, pracovní zákony i veřejnou debatu. Padají sochy zakladatelů americké svobody a hrdinů občanské války. Absurdní obvinění bílé rasy z vrozeného nevyléčitelného rasismu ohrožuje legitimitu a soudržnost multietnického národa.

In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it?It's become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers.

On Thursday, 5 April 1877, police charged 30-year-old Annie Besant and her colleague Charles Bradlaugh with breaching the Obscene Publications Act 1857. The reason was the scandalous sale of a slim book called The Fruits of Philosophy – a book that advocated for birth control in an era when parents were encouraged to keep their daughters ignorant and fearful. The publication of this guide, which the prosecutor in the trial referred to as a ‘dirty, filthy book’, made Annie famous.But this was not Annie’s first or last battle against Victorian social mores.She was a good Christian wife who became an atheist; a liberal campaigner who became a prominent socialist activist in the strikes and protests of the 1880s; a Theosophical High Priestess who became heavily involved in the Indian nationalist movement. Viewed as a dangerous threat to imperial government and authority, she was a fearless and formidable freedom fighter.Annie Besant lived an extraordinary and inspiring life, and yet because of her complexities and seeming contradictions, she has been sidelined by history.From politics to the occult, from Christianity to Theosophy and from the London suburbs to a pyre on the banks of an Indian river, The Nine Lives of Annie Besant ...
