What About Men? - Caitlin Moranová

'A must-read eye-opener that makes you laugh, cry, get angry and get happy on every page. It's magnificent' Bob Mortimer'I fall passionately in love with absolutely every single thing Caitlin Moran writes - and I've fallen very hard for this book... Eye-opener, page-turner, women-translator, guy-empowerer - put like that, I hope you'll agree it's incredibly reasonably priced' Marina Hyde'Our greatest modern writer on women turns her eyes on men - and it's all good' David BaddielAs any feminist who talks about the problems of girls and women will know, the first question you will ever be asked is 'But what about MEN?' After eleven years of writing bestsellers about women and dismissing this question, having been very sure that the concerns of feminism and men are very different things, Caitlin Moran realised that this wasn't quite right, and that the problems of feminism are also the problems of, yes, men.So, what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their wife or girlfriend makes them? Why do they never discuss their penises with each other - but make endless jokes about their balls? What is porn doing for young men? Is their fondness for super-skinny jeans leading to an epidemic of bad mental health? Are men allowed to be sad? Are men allowed to lose? Have Men's Rights Activists confused 'power' with 'empowerment'? And is Jordan B Peterson just your mum - but with some mad theory about a lobster?In this book, Caitlin intends to answer all this and more - because if men haven't yet answered the question 'What About Men?', it's going to be down to a busy woman to do it.

Víc než žena - Caitlin Moranová

Autorka bestselleru Jak být ženou se vrací. Starší a zkušenější — a ještě vtipnější! Caitlin Moranová před deseti lety předpokládala, že má všechny trable za sebou. V globálním bestselleru Jak být ženou se vypořádala s patriarchátem, feminismem a vůbec vším, co obnáší moderní „ženství“, a měl ji čekat spokojený dospělý život plný skvělého sexu a harmonického rodičovství. Víc se mýlit nemohla. V nové a neméně úspěšné knize se proto populární spisovatelka zaobírá výzvami, které v současnosti čekají na „zralé“ ženy. Víc než žena je břitkým průvodcem dospělostí i smířením s faktem, že seznam povinností, potřeb a potíží se bude jen prodlužovat. Ale ať už to jsou stárnoucí rodiče, dospívající a náladové děti, odcizující se partner, nebo proměňující se vlastní tělo, Moranová neztrácí nadhled a smysl pro řádně kousavý humor. Stárnutí je v jejím pojetí oslavou života — i když obnáší nudný sex, protivné puberťáky a nezničitelné faldy. Nebo možná právě proto.

Jak být ženou - Caitlin Moranová

V roce 1913 se sufražetka Emily Wilding Davisonová vrhla pod kopyta králova koně… V roce 1970 vzaly feministky útokem Miss World… A nyní přichází kniha Caitlin Moranové…Nikdy v minulosti nebylo lepší být ženou. Máme volební právo, pilulky a od roku 1727 nás neupalují jako čarodějnice. Ale přece jen zbývá položit pár rýpavých otázek…Proč se od nás čeká, že budeme chodit na brazilskou depilaci? Měla byste zajít na botox? Je pravda, že nás muži vskrytu nenávidí? Jak máme nazývat svou vagínu? Proč bolí nosit podprsenku? A proč se vás všichni ptají, kdy už budete mít dítě?Caitlin Moranová zodpovídá tyto a další otázky v knize Jak být ženou, která je zčásti vyprávěním o životě autorky a zčásti plamennou tirádou. Moranovou sledujeme od jejích strašlivých třináctých narozenin („vážím osmdesát kilo, nemám žádné kamarády, a když mě vidí kluci, házejí na mě štěrk“) přes dospívání až po práci, striptýzové kluby, lásku, obezitu, potrat, nakupování, mateřství a ještě mnohem dál. V roce 2011 získala Caitlin Moranová ocenění Galaxy National Book Award.

More Than a Woman - Caitlin Moranová

A decade ago, Caitlin Moran thought she had it all figured out. Her instant bestseller How to Be a Woman was a game-changing take on feminism, the patriarchy, and the general 'hoo-ha' of becoming a woman. Back then, she firmly believed 'the difficult bit' was over, and her forties were going to be a doddle.If only she had known: when middle age arrives, a whole new bunch of tough questions need answering. Why isn't there such a thing as a 'Mum Bod'? How did sex get boring? What are men really thinking? Where did all that stuff in the kitchen drawers come from? Can feminists have Botox? Why has wine turned against you? How can you tell the difference between a Teenage Micro-Breakdown, and The Real Thing? Has feminism gone too far? And, as always, WHO'S LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN? Now with ageing parents, teenage daughters, a bigger bum and a To-Do list without end, Caitlin Moran is back with More Than A Woman: a guide to growing older, a manifesto for change, and a celebration of all those middle-aged women who keep the world turning.

Naopak — mohla by změnit k lepšímu život mnoha ženám… Moranová nepřichází s radikálně novými koncepcemi, „jenom“ je předkládá natolik stravitelně a s takovým vtipem, že naštve snad jen lidi beze smyslu pro humor.— Kamil Fila, Respekt Jak být ženou je nebývale otevřený a nezkrášlený punkový pohled pětatřicetileté rebelky s proříznutou pusou, která byla na party s Lady Gaga.

Jak být ženou - Caitlin Moranová - e-kniha

eBook: 1913: Sufražetka se vrhá pod kopyta králova koně. 1970: Feministky berou útokem Miss World v Londýně. 2011: Caitlin Moranová přichází a ptá se, proč jsou kalhotky stále menší a menší. Nikdy dříve nebylo lepší být ženou. Máme volební právo, antikoncepci a od roku 1727 nás neupalují jako čarodějnice. Ale pořád ještě zbývá položit pár rýpavých otázek… Proč se od nás čeká, že budeme vyholené? Měly bychom chodit na botox? Opravdu nás muži vskrytu nenávidí? Jak máme říkat své vagině? Proč nošení podprsenky bolí? Proč se nás všichni ptají, kdy už budeme mít dítě? Kniha Caitlin Moranové je famózní one-woman show, v níž autorka nestydatě vtipným způsobem deklasuje veškeré nároky, jež na moderní ženu klade společnost. Vážná zamyšlení nad náměty jako dospívání, práce či mateřství střídá neméně moudré glosování témat jako striptýzové kluby, celebrity nebo svatby. Caitlin Moranová zkrátka útočí na všechny zbytečnosti beroucí ženám drahocenný čas. Její kniha je nezbytným průvodcem současné ženy. Caitlin Moranová neměla v roce 1990 žádné kamarády, a tak jí zbývala spousta času na psaní jejího prvního románu Kronika rodiny Narmů. Tehdy jí bylo patnáct let. O rok později začala pracovat v hudebním týdeníku Melody Maker a v osmnácti se stala moderátorkou pořadu o pop music Naked City na britském televizním kanálu Channel 4. Po tomto raketovém startu věnovala následujících osmnáct let své kariéry psaní sloupků do deníku The Times — a to jako recenzentka i jako autorka nejčtenější části novin, satirického sloupku o slavných osobnostech nazvaného Celebrity Watch. Za svou práci získala v roce 2010 publicistickou cenu Columnist of The Year udělovanou v rámci British Press Awards, nejprestižnějších ocenění britského tisku. Je nejstarší z osmi dětí a rodiče ji spolu s jejími sourozenci vzdělávali doma, v obecním domku ve Wolverhamptonu. Četla řadu knih o feminismu — především proto, aby svému bratrovi Eddiemu vědecky dokázala, že je lepší než on.

A year later, he'd completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and on his writing. Equal parts travelogue, training log, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and settings ranging from Tokyo's Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back.By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is rich and revealing, both for fans of this masterful yet private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in distance running.

What I’d Rather Not Think About - Jente Posthuma

SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZEWhat if one half of a pair of twins no longer wants to live? What if the other can’t live without them?This question lies at the heart of Jente Posthuma’s deceptively simple What I’d Rather Not Think About. The narrator is a twin whose brother has recently taken his own life. She looks back on their childhood, and tells of their adult lives: how her brother tried to find happiness, but lost himself in various men and the Bhagwan movement, though never completely. In brief, precise vignettes, full of gentle melancholy and surprising humour, Posthuma tells the story of a depressive brother, viewed from the perspective of the sister who both loves and resents her twin, struggles to understand him, and misses him terribly.

Pink explains in his paradigm-shattering book Drive, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today's world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and the world. Along the way, he takes us to companies that are enlisting new approaches to motivation, and introduces us to the scientists and entrepreneurs who are pointing a bold way forward.

SEX/LIFE: 44 Chapters About 4 Men - BB Easton

One woman's secret journal completely changes her marriage in this hilarious and biting memoir - the inspiration for the Netflix Original Series. School psychologists aren't supposed to write books about sex. Doing so would be considered 'unethical' and 'a fireable offense'. Lucky for you, ethics was never my strong suit. Sex/Life: 44 Chapters About 4 Men is a laugh-out-loud funny and brutally honest look at female sexuality, as told through the razor-sharp lens of domesticated bad girl BB Easton. No one and nothing is off limits as BB revisits the ex-boyfriends - a sadistic tattoo artist, a punk rock parolee, and a heavy metal bass player - that led her to finally find true love with a straight-laced, drop-dead-gorgeous . . . accountant. After settling down and starting a family with her perfectly vanilla 'husbot', Ken, BB finds herself longing for the reckless passion she had in her youth. She begins to write about these escapades in a secret journal, just for fun, but when Ken starts to act out the words on the pages, BB realizes that she might have stumbled upon the holy grail of behaviour modification techniques. The psychological dance that ensues is nothing short of hilarious as BB wields her journal like a blowtorch, trying to light a fire under her cold, distant partner. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but in the end, BB learns that the man she was trying so hard to change was perfect for her all along.

Why is it so hard to detect a lie, read a face or judge a stranger's motives? Through a series of encounters and misunderstandings - from history, psychology and infamous legal cases - Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual adventure into the darker side of human nature, where strangers are never simple and misreading them can have disastrous consequences. No one challenges our shared assumptions like Malcolm Gladwell. Here he uses stories of deceit and fatal errors to cast doubt on our strategies for dealing with the unknown, inviting us to rethink our thinking in these troubled times.

Kniha - autor James Rickards, 340 stran, anglicky, Brožovaná bez přebalu matná - autor James Rickards, 340 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná The global economy has made what seems like an incredible comeback after the financial crisis of 2008. Yet this comeback is artificial. Central banks have propped up markets by keeping interest rates low and the supply of money free-flowing. They won't bail us out again next time. And there will be a next time - soon.In The Road to Ruin, bestselling author James Rickards identifies how governments around the world are secretly preparing an alternative strategy for the next big crisis: a lockdown. Instead of printing money to reliquify markets and prop up assets, governments are preparing to close banks, shut down exchanges and order powerful asset managers not to sell. They're putting provisions in place that will allow them to do so legally. What's more, the global elite has already started making their own...

Talking to Strangers : What We Should Know about the People We Don´t Know - Malcolm Gladwell

The routine traffic stop that ends in tragedy. The spy who spends years undetected at the highest levels of the Pentagon. The false conviction of Amanda Knox. Why do we so often get other people wrong? Why is it so hard to detect a lie, read a face or judge a stranger's motives? Through a series of encounters and misunderstandings - from history, psychology and infamous legal cases - Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual adventure into the darker side of human nature, where strangers are never simple and misreading them can have disastrous consequences. No one challenges our shared assumptions like Malcolm Gladwell. Here he uses stories of deceit and fatal errors to cast doubt on our strategies for dealing with the unknown, inviting us to rethink our thinking in these troubled times.

Bullshit Jobs : The Rise of Pointless Work, and What We Can Do About It - David Graeber

Be honest: if your job didn't exist, would anybody miss it? Have you ever wondered why not? Up to 40% of us secretly believe our jobs probably aren't necessary. In other words: they are bullshit jobs. This book shows why, and what we can do about it. In the early twentieth century, people prophesied that technology would see us all working fifteen-hour weeks and driving flying cars. Instead, something curious happened. Not only have the flying cars not materialised, but average working hours have increased rather than decreased. And now, across the developed world, three-quarters of all jobs are in services, finance or admin: jobs that don't seem to contribute anything to society. In Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber explores how this phenomenon - one more associated with the Soviet Union, but which capitalism was supposed to eliminate - has happened. In doing so, he looks at how, rather than producing anything, work has become an end in itself; the way such work maintains the current broken system of finance capital; and, finally, how we can get out of it. This book is for anyone whose heart has sunk at the sight of a whiteboard, who believes 'workshops' should only be for making things, or who just suspects that there might be a better way to run our world.

Rich Forever: What They Didn’t Teach You about Money, Finance and Investments in School - Bianca Miller-Cole, Byron Cole

Remember when talking about money was taboo? Times have changed and in our times, with so many radical and disruptive changes to the economy, the role of the entrepreneur now embedded at the centre of so much societal and technological change, and digital currencies changing the way we think about exchange, money has become a vital, insistent of conversation for everyone. All of us acknowledge it matters desperately; yet so few of us really understand it. The press and social media are awash with rags to riches stories, stories of kitchen table businesses that become multi-million-pound enterprises.Stories of teenagers and young adults investing in digital currencies from their bedrooms. On the flip side of these aspirational stories there is the reality of the everyday person who simply wants to understand what to and what not to do with their money. Should they save or invest, if they invest - what in, if they save - what for? Should they buy a home or rent, should they live for the moment or live for retirement.How does having credit provide more credit and would insurance be the best bet if all falls around you and what the hell is APR anyway?Finance and money are topics we all wish we learnt at school but instead we find ourselves having to 'learn on the job', having to do deep investigations and 'trust' the advice from online experts. There must be a better way and a better place to go to for this insight and here we have it, courtesy of two authors who have known hardship and huge success - "What they should have taught you about money, finance and investment at school' to fill that void.

Martinů: What Men Live By, Symfonie č. 1, H 289, Česká filharmonie, Jiří Bělohlávek (CD)

Poslední slovo Jiřího Bělohlávka k dílu Bohuslava Martinů. What Men Live By (Čím lidé žijí, H 336, 1952) - jednoaktová pastorální opera podle povídky L. N. Tolstého "Pohádka o ševci". Symfonie č. 1 H 289 (1942) Ivan Kusnjer, Petr Svoboda, Jan Martiník, Lucie Silkenová, Ester Pavlů, Jaroslav Březina, Josef Špaček (vypravěč), Lukáš Mareček. Martinů Voices, sbormistr Lukáš Vasilek, Česká filharmonie, dirigent Jiří BělohlávekJiří Bělohlávek (1946-2017) byl významným světovým ambasadorem díla Bohuslava Martinů. Jen pro Supraphon natočil na čtyři desítky jeho symfonických, koncertantních a jevištních děl, mnohé z nich s přívlastkem světové premiéry. Navzdory rozsáhlým plánům představuje tato nahrávka současně vrchol i závěr Bělohlávkovy pozoruhodné diskografie ze skladatelova díla. Premiérová nahrávka pastorální opery What Men Live By vznikla ze tří koncertních provedení v prosinci 2014 (nastudování si vysloužilo nominaci na cenu The International Opera Award). Martinů ji zkomponoval na vlastní libreto v Americe na přelomu let 1951-52 a měl jasnou představu o jejím provedení: "Nesmí se to hráti 'patheticky', ale radostně. ... Ten text svádí mnoho k velice vážnému a ‚hlubokému' pojetí, ale to nebylo v mém plánu. Pro mne to je jaksi radostné dílo a posluchač musí cítit ne náboženskou jakoby morálku (poučení), ale radost. Ta morálka je právě v té radosti." Snímek Symfonie č. 1 z ledna 2016 doplňuje dříve vydané symfonie č. 3-6 (SU3631-2, SU4007-2) a byl součástí zamýšleného, žel nedokončeného kompletu pozdního symfonického díla Martinů. Bělohlávkovo spojení s Českou filharmonií v posledních pěti letech jeho života bylo velmi šťastné období pro obě strany a dalo rozvinout novým kvalitám ve zvuku orchestru. Předkládaná nahrávka zůstane živým dokladem této zcela výjimečné lidské a umělecké konstelace.

Insecure in Love : How Anxious Attachment Can Make You Feel Jealous, Needy, and Worried and What You Can Do About It - Becker-Phelps Leslie

Has your romantic partner called you clingy, insecure, desperate, or jealous? No one wants to admit that they possess these qualities; but if you find yourself constantly on the alert, anxious, or worried when it comes to your significant other, you may suffer from anxious attachment, a fear of abandonment that is often rooted in early childhood experiences.In Freeing Your Love From Insecurity, you'll learn how to overcome attachment anxiety using compassionate self-awareness, a technique that can help you recognize your negative thoughts or unhealthy behavior patterns and respond to them in a nurturing way-rather than beating yourself up. You'll also learn how insecurity can negatively affect healthy dialog between you and your partner (or potential partners) and develop the skills needed to stop you from reverting back to old patterns of neediness and possessiveness.If you suffer from anxious attachment, you probably know that you need to change, and yet you have remained stuck. With compassionate self-awareness, you can successfully explore old anxiety perpetuating perceptions and habits without being overwhelmed or paralyzed by them. By understanding the psychological factors at the root of your attachment anxiety, you will learn to cultivate secure, healthy relationships to last a lifetime.If you're ready to stop getting stuck in the same hurtful relationship patterns and finally break the cycle of heartache, this book can show you how to get the love you deserve-and keep it!

Sharp-witted conwoman Rosa Cellini arrives in the city the same day that the Medici Pope, Leo X, returns to take up the reins of power. This is not a coincidence.

But as the authorities draw closer and the Medici''s noose pulls tighter around the land, old secrets resurface and tensions in the group start to flare. What began as a robbery could be the key to saving the city itself - if Rosa and company don''t destroy each other first.Get ready for an absolute swashbuckling riot, beginning with a ''mud'' pie to the Pope''s face, and ending with a climactic heist that would give Danny Ocean a run for his money.

Hledání dobré smrti - Caitlin Doughtyová

Majitelku pohřebního ústavu Caitlin Doughtyovou fascinuje všudypřítomný strach ze smrti, pokouší se proto zjistit, jak o své mrtvé pečují lidé v jiných kulturách. Hledání dobré smrti je poutavá cesta do různých koutů světa, na které poznáte tajemné a působivé pohřební rituály, o kterých se v našem prostředí téměř nic neví. Na indonéském venkově sleduje muže, jak umývá a obléká tělo svého mumifikovaného dědečka, s nímž už dva roky pobývá v rodinném domě. V La Paz objevuje bolivijské natitas (oslavované lidské lebky, co kouří cigarety a plní lidem přání). V Tokiu se seznamuje s japonským zvykem kotsuage, během kterého pozůstalí vybírají čínskými hůlkami kosti svých milovaných z popela. Píše o inovátorech v oblasti pohřebních služeb, kteří zkoumají kompostování lidského těla a ekologické pohřby. Snaží se zjistit, jak by nám různé tradice, od mexického svátku Día de los Muertos až po zoroastrijský nebeský pohřeb, mohly pomoci vidět naše vlastní pohřební zvyklosti v jiném světle. Vydejte se spolu s autorkou po světě za hledáním "dobré smrti". Je to cesta možná trochu morbidní, ale dobrodružná a nesmírně zajímavá, je to příběh o mnoha překvapivých a fascinujících způsobech, kterými se lidé po celém světě vyrovnávají s velmi lidskou výzvou - se smrtí.
