Magical and transporting . . . Wayward proves that Bunyan has lived the best possible life, on her own idiosyncratic terms Maggie O Farrell A gorgeous account of outsiderness and survival: a map of how to live outside the boundaries and of striving for an authentic artistic life. A quietly defiant and moving work Sinéad Gleeson An epic in miniature . . . I loved - and lived - every sentence Benjamin MyersIn 1968, Vashti Bunyan gave up everything and everybody she knew in London to take to the road with a horse, wagon, dog, guitar and her then partner. They made the long journey up to the Outer Hebrides in an odyssey of discovery and heartbreak, full of the joy of freedom and the trudge of everyday reality, sleeping in the woods, fighting freezing winters and homelessness. Along the way, Vashti wrote the songs that would lead to the recording of her 1970 s album Just Another Diamond Day, the lilting lyrics and guitar conveying innocent wonder at the world around her, whilst disguising a deeper turmoil under the surface. From an unconventional childhood in post-war London, to a fledgling career in mid-sixties pop - recording a single written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards - to the despair and failure to make any headway with her own songs, she rejected the music world altogether and left it all behind. After retreating to a musical wilderness for thirty years, the rediscovery of her recordings in 2000 brought Vashti a second chance to write, record and perform once more. One of the great hippie myths of the 1960s, Wayward, Just Another Life to Live, rewrites the narrative of a barefoot girl on the road to describe a life lived at full tilt from the first, revealing what it means to change course and her emotional struggle, learning to take back control of her own life.

Audiokniha: Na borůvkových polích v Maine se ztratí čtyřletá holčička a její záhadné zmizení bude pronásledovat pozůstalé, rozvrátí rodinu a zůstane nevyřešeno téměř padesát let… Červenec 1962. Rodina Mikmaků z Nového Skotska přijíždí do Maine, aby zde přes léto sbírala borůvky. O několik týdnů později zmizí čtyřletá Ruthie, nejmladší dítě rodiny. Naposledy ji viděl její šestiletý bratr Joe, jak sedí na oblíbené skále na okraji borůvkového pole. Úzkost, smutek a výčitky z Ruthiina zmizení pronásledují Joea celý život. Ve státě Maine vyrůstá mladá dívka Norma jako jediné dítě zámožných rodičů. Její otec je citově chladný, matka přehnaně úzkostlivá. Normu trápí opakující se sny a vize tak živé, že připomínají spíše reálné vzpomínky než představy. Jak Norma dospívá, postupně si začíná uvědomovat, že je tu něco, co jí rodiče neříkají. Své intuice se nehodlá vzdát, a tak stráví desítky let snahou odhalit rodinné tajemství.

All over the world there are fantastic ruins and objects that cannot be explained by conventional history, archaeology or religion. In the ground-breaking Chariots of the Gods, Erich von Daniken provides answers to these questions...why do religious texts often refer to Gods who descend from fiery chariots? Why do modern space launch sites look like constructions on the plains of Nazca in Peru? Was God an astronaut?By looking at human history and the ruins of ancient civilisations with an open mind, Erich von Daniken offers a new solution to these eternal mysteries in Chariots of the Gods. Why, for instance, do the world s sacred books describe Gods who came down from the sky in fiery chariots and always promised to return? How could an ancient Sanskrit text contain an account which could only be of a journey in an alien craft? Compare photographs of American space centre launch sites to the constructions on the plains of Nazca in Peru.In order to understand the mysteries which Erich von Daniken has catalogued we must go back to these ancient relics with an open mind. We must call in the resources and experience of sciences other than archaeology. Chariots of the Gods is a provocative attempt to explain some of the universe s most interesting mysteries.Erich von Daniken has spent a lifetime gathering evidence to prove that, before the dawn of recorded history, our ancestors were visited by an alien race. Erich von Daniken was responsible for popularising the ancient astronaut hypothesis of human development. Orthodox historians have been sceptical but a vast public have been drawn to his ideas by instinctive interest and wonder.His 26 books have sold over 60 million copies in over 40 languages.

⠜Amanda Jones started getting death threats, all for standing up for our right to read . . . but she⠙s not stopped fighting against book bans, or stopped advocating for access to diverse stories.⠝⠔Oprah Winfrey, in a speech at the 2023 National Book AwardsPart memoir, part manifesto, the inspiring story of a Louisiana librarian advocating for inclusivity on the front lines of our vicious culture wars.One of the things small town librarian Amanda Jones values most about books is how they can affirm a young person⠙s sense of self. So in 2022, when she caught wind of a local public hearing that would discuss ⠜book content,⠝ she knew what was at stake. Schools and libraries nationwide have been bombarded by demands for books with LGTBQ+ references, discussions of racism, and more to be purged from the shelves. Amanda would be damned if her community were to ban stories representing minority groups. She spoke out that night at the meeting. Days later, she woke up to a nightmare that is still ongoing. Amanda Jones has been called a groomer, a pedo, and a porn-pusher; she has faced death threats and attacks from strangers and friends alike. Her decision to support a collection of books with diverse perspectives made her a target for extremists using book banning campaigns⠔funded by dark money organizations and advanced by hard right politicians⠔in a crusade to make America more white, straight, and Christian. But Amanda Jones wouldn⠙t give up without a fight: she sued her harassers for defamation and urged others to join her in the resistance.Mapping the book banning crisis occurring all across the nation, That Librarian draws the battle lines in the war against equity and inclusion, calling book lovers everywhere to rise in defense of our readers.
