‘Sharp, angry, punchily philosophical and often funny. It basically invents a new type of lifestyle aspiration: deathstyle.’ The Times‘Callender’s joyous, thought-provoking book is an account of how his own early encounters with bereavement led to him becoming a new kind of undertaker.’ Daily Mail‘This book is a great work of craft and beauty.’ Salena Godden‘I loved What Remains? Funny, demystifying, but mostly, deeply moving.’ Kathy Burke, Actor and Director‘This compelling personal story of a pioneering punk undertaker is a moving revelation.’ Love Reading‘Inspiring and unforgettable.’ John Higgs, author of William Blake vs the WorldDeath has shown me . . . the unbreakable core of love and courage that lies at the heart of what it means to be human.Ru Callender wanted to become an undertaker in order to offer people a more honest experience than the stilted formality of traditional ‘Victorian’ funerals. Driven by raw emotion and the unresolved grief of losing his own parents, Ru brought an outsider, ‘DIY’ ethos to the business of death, combined with the kinship and inspiration he found in rave culture, social outlaws and political nonconformists.Ru has carried coffins across windswept beaches, sat in pubs with caskets on beer-stained tables, helped children fire flaming arrows into their father’s funeral pyre, turned modern occult rituals into performance art and, with the band members of the KLF, is building the People’s Pyramid of bony bricks in Liverpool – all in the name of creating truly authentic experiences that celebrate those who are no longer here and those who remain.Radical, poignant, unflinchingly real and laugh-aloud funny, What Remains? will change the way you think about life, death and the human experience.

A moving meditation on what is left in our wake. What Remains is a short book that touches lightly on big subjects: migration, colonialism, the urban-rural divide, identity, cultural curation and the meaning of home. Using elements of anthropology, essay and memoir, this is modern fiction, which demands to be read on its own striking terms.

How may we find happiness and peace?In this book, Rupert Spira distils the message of all the great religious and spiritual traditions into two essential truths: happiness is the very nature of our self or being, and we share our being with everyone and everything.Drawing on numerous examples from his own experience, Spira demonstrates that to seek lasting happiness through objects, situations and relationships is destined for failure and disappointment, and skilfully guides the reader to recognise that we are already the happiness we seek.This book is for anyone who yearns for lasting happiness and is open to the possibility that it is continuously available within ourselves, irrespective of our circumstances.Could there be any greater discovery in life than to know that we are already that for which we long?''Rupert Spira''s articulate and very intimate style of teaching is truly transformational. I''ve read and treasure all of his books.'' - Rhonda Byrne, author of The Secret and The Greatest Secret''Let Rupert Spira, one of the finest teachers of the present time, gently guide you home to your innate peace and happiness.'' - Peter Russell, author of Letting Go of Nothing''I''ve gained deeper understanding listening to Rupert Spira than I have from any other exponent of modern spirituality.

''Hilariously honest. . . a kind of rake''s progress'' Daily MailAn element of drama has always attended Rupert Everett, even before he swept to fame with his outstanding performance in ''Another Country''. He has spent his life surrounded by extraordinary people, and witnessed extraordinary events. He was in Moscow during the fall of communism; in Berlin the night the wall came down; and in downtown Manhattan on September 11th. By the age of 17 he was friends with Andy Warhol and Bianca Jagger, and since then he has been up close and personal with some of the most famous women in the world: Julia Roberts, Madonna, Sharon Stone and Donatella Versace. Whether sweeping the floor for the Royal Shakespeare Company or co-starring with Faye Dunaway and an orang-utan in ''Dunstan Checks In'' (they both took ages to get ready), Rupert Everett always brings as much energy and talent to his life as he does to his career. A superb raconteur and a keen observer of human folly (especially his own), Rupert Everett turns his life into a captivating story of love, fame, glamour, gossip and drama.Praise for Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins''He has an almost fanatical loyalty to the concept of enjoyment, to the detriment, it might be argued, of his art, though to the great enrichment of his being; and for Rupert, as he makes clear in this continuously brilliant memoir, the best theatrical autobiography since Noël Coward''s Present Indicative, acting is being...a superb and unexpectedly inspiring achievement'' Simon Callow, Guardian''Lush, profoundly reflective, and thoroughly satisfying...a heady triumph of observation and reverie'' Independent''What makes this autobiography a (novelistic) masterpiece is the way he is acutely aware of the melancholia and pain that are the other side of hedonism''s coin'' Daily Telegraph

Nejmylnější domněnkou vědy je názor, že věda již pochopila podstatu reality - že základní otázky jsou už zodpovězeny a nyní zbývá pouze dořešit detaily. V této knize vám Rupert Sheldrake, jenden z nejvíce průkopnických vědců současnosti, názorně ukáže, že věda je spoutaná domněnkami, které se změnily v dogmata. "Vědecký pohled na svět" se stal souborem pouhých domněnek a vírou. Veškerá realita je podle něj hmotná či fyzikální a svět je strojem, jenž je tvořen neživou hmotou. Příroda dle tohoto pohledu postrádá jakýkoli smysl a vědomí není ničím víc, než pouhou fyzickou aktivitou mozku. Svobodná vůle je iluzí a bůh existuje jenom jako představa v lidské mysli, uvězněn v naší lebce. Rupert Sheldrake vědecky prozkoumává tato dogmata a předkládá přesvědčivé důkazy, že vědě by se dařilo lépe bez nich - byla by svobodnější, zajímavější a zábavnější.

Dosud málo známý a nezaslouženě zapomenutý výtvarný fotograf Rupert Kytka (1910-1993) patří do generace umělců spjatých s meziválečným amatérským hnutím. Nejvýznamnější práce ovšem vytvořil až v šedesátých letech jako zakládající člen olomoucké skupiny DOFO, prvního poválečného československého fotografického sdružení (vzniklo roku 1959), k jejímuž věhlasu přispěli později například Ivo Přeček a Vilém Reichmann. Z této doby vynikají zejména Kytkovy snímky v duchu poezie všedního dne (se styčnými plochami s tradicí surrealismu a imaginativního umění) a fotografie blížící se svým výrazem umění op-artu či informelu (mj. skleněné struktury). K jeho vrcholným snímkům patří zátiší v exteriéru i interiéru, často citlivě zobrazující odhozené a různě destruované předměty. Fotografickou dráhu pak Rupert Kytka zakončil výjimečným souborem Dobrá země (1969-1979), kdy zejména v detailech opět prokázal schopnost mistrovsky rytmizovat námět. Zhodnotil tak zároveň celoživotní zájem o fotografii horské krajiny. Reprezentativní výběr (téměř padesát kvalitních reprodukcí) z Kytkova neokázalého, ale dnes již klasického díla je uveden průkopnickou studií Lukáše Bártla a uzavřen soupisem výstav umělce.

The Science Delusion is the belief that science already understands the nature of reality. The fundamental questions are answered, leaving only the details to be filled in. In this book (published in the US as Science Set Free), Dr Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, shows that science is being constricted by assumptions that have hardened into dogmas.The 'scientific worldview' has become a belief system. All reality is material or physical. The world is a machine, made up of dead matter.Nature is purposeless. Consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain. Free will is an illusion.God exists only as an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls. Sheldrake examines these dogmas scientifically, and shows persuasively that science would be better off without them: freer, more interesting, and more fun. In The God Delusion Richard Dawkins used science to bash God, but here Rupert Sheldrake shows that Dawkins' understanding of what science can do is old-fashioned and itself a delusion.

Nothing and no one escapes his attention'' ObserverRupert Everett tells the story of how he set out to make a film of Oscar Wilde''s last days, and how that ten-year quest almost destroyed him. (And everyone else.) Travelling across Europe for the film, he weaves in extraordinary tales from his past, remembering wild times, freak encounters and lost friends. There are celebrities, of course. But we also meet glamorous but doomed Aunt Peta, who introduces Rupert (aged three) to the joys of make-up. In ''90s Paris, his great friend Lychee burns bright, and is gone. While in ''70s London, a ''weirdly tall, beyond size zero'' teenage Rupert is expelled from the Central School of Speech and Drama. Unflinchingly honest and hugely entertaining, To the End of the World offers a unique insight into the ''snakes and ladders'' of filmmaking. It is also a soulful and thought-provoking autobiography from one of our best-loved and most talented actors and writers.

"Rupert Spira is one of the great souls. Read his books, and be clarified."-Coleman Barks, translator of Rumi, including Soul FuryA contemplative poem about the intimate, impersonal, infinite nature of being.In A Meditation on I Am, Rupert Spira contemplates the essential nature of our self before it has been conditioned or qualified by the content of experience. It is a poem, a prayer and a hymn of praise to the simple fact of being that is the source of the peace and happiness for which we long above all else.For seasoned spiritual seekers and newcomers alike, this meditative poem explores and celebrates the truth of what we essentially are: the awareness of being that shines in each of our minds as the knowledge "I am," which is temporarily coloured by experience but is never modified, changed or harmed by it.

Co je „já“? Co je „druhý“, co je „svět“? Kdo je onen „prožívající“, který, jak se zdá, spojuje oba póly dohromady? Co je podstatou zkušenosti neboli pro-žitku, který právě teď, v tomto okamžiku, zažíváme? Rozpoznání naší pravé podstaty nevyžaduje náročné studium duchovních textů a léta meditačních praktik. Vyžaduje pouze ochotu zapojit se do ne-kompromisního a upřímného zkoumání povahy samotného uvědomění, do hledání toho, čím skutečně jsme. Rupert Spira v knize Průhlednost věcí nejenže vystihuje podstatu tohoto výzkumu slovy každodenního jazyka, ale činí tak bez odkazu na jakékoli meta-fyzické nebo ezoterické doktríny. Vybízí nás, abychom se pustili do osobního zkoumání toho, co to znamená být vědomý, a dovolává se přitom jen naší přímé zkušenosti. Pokud využijeme jeho pozvánky a pustíme se do zkoumání své vlastní zkušenosti, zjistíme, že zažíváme poznání, jemuž se probuzené bytosti těší již celé věky. Průhlednost věcí je sbírkou kontemplativních esejí, jejímž účelem je podívat se jasně a jednoduše na povahu zkušenosti, aniž bychom se ji pokoušeli změnit. Jemně, ale přímo nás vede k poznání, že naší esenciální podstatou není ani tělo, ani mysl, nýbrž vědomá Přítomnost uvědomující si v každém okamžiku naši současnou zkušenost. Ačkoli na sebe bere podobu této zkušenosti, vždy zůstává sama sebou.

For Rupert Russell, the shock of the Trump-Brexit victories was only the latest in a decade full of them: the unstoppable war in Syria, huge migrant flows into Europe, beheadings in Iraq, children caged at the US border. In Price Wars he sets out on an improbable journey to investigate what caused the wave of chaos that consumed the world in the 2010s. Armed with a notebook, flak jacket and pink socks, Russell travels to modern apocalypses across five continents, embedding with separatist soldiers in the trenches of Eastern Ukraine, gangs of street kids battling over garbage in Caracas, the UN bomb disposal squad in Iraq and cattle raiders in Northern Kenya. He traces the origins of these conflicts back to dramatic and mysterious swings in the prices of essential commodities. He meets with commodity speculators who describe the inner workings of these volatile markets, explaining how food prices can spike even in years of abundant harvests, causing bread riots and revolutions. Oil prices can surge on rumours, enriching and emboldening dictators and terrorists alike. These price shocks, and many others across the decade, triggered local disasters that became global catastrophes. It is chaotic prices, Russell learned, fuelled by banks and hedge funds in New York and London, that have toppled regimes and fractured the West. Price Wars is a page-turning chronicle of discovery and a ground-breaking expose of the power of price to devastate the world.

Britský filosof Rupert Read tematizuje jako nejnaléhavější problém dneška změnu klimatu a ohrožení naší planety. Jestliže skutečně rychle směřujeme k zániku naší civilizace v podobě, jak ji dosud známe, nesmíme podle Reada před celoplanetární krizí zavírat oči, naopak si musíme uvědomit, jak neudržitelná je současná (klimatická) politika. Civilizace však ještě není ztracená, naději na její transformaci autor spatřuje v realistickém, lokálním a komunálním klimatickém aktivismu.

How did a marginal dialect spoken in the late ninth century by 200,000 people become the world’s language spoken by 1.6 billion people today?In Amorous or Loving? – The Highly Peculiar Tale of English and the English, Sir Rupert Gavin charts the unique evolution of our language into the resulting hodge-podge that is now the lingua franca of the world. He argues that English is ideal as the global language, not just by accident of history, but by fundamental construction and constitution. Further, he examines how all of this was determined not just by our unique language, but also our geography, our weather, our religion, the extraordinary status of London, and by a handful of inspirational figures – some well-known and some hardly known today at all.

A call for Christianity to recover its confidence The mainstream Churches are faltering - or even at risk of dying out - in their Western and Middle Eastern heartlands. Surveys confirm that only a minority of people in a country such as Britain now claim Christian allegiance. The pattern is being matched in neighbouring societies. At the same time many opinion formers preach secularist ideology with a self-confidence shading into dogmatism. Others, unsure of their moorings, feel some residual attachment to spirituality, while being sceptical about the existence of God and other articles of belief. Yet church teaching remains intellectually robust, as well as inspiring a transformative global presence. In this major and wide-ranging international study - both a report on the unsettling consequences of secularisation and a defence of a creed too often belittled by its opponents - Rupert Shortt outlines Christianity's fading profile in the present, but also argues compellingly that Europe's historic faith remains critical to the survival of a humane culture.

Popa''Cool and controlled...Electrifying...Reading Rupert Thomson novels can easily become an obsession'' The Times--------Set on the eve of the financial crash of 2008, Barcelona Dreaming is made up of three stories that are linked by time and place, and also by the moving, unexpected interactions of a rich cast of characters.The stories are narrated, in turn, by an English woman who runs a gift shop, an alcoholic jazz pianist, and a translator tormented by unrequited love, all of whose lives will be changed forever. Underpinning the novel, and casting a long shadow, is a crime committed against a young Moroccan immigrant.Exploring themes of addiction, racism, celebrity, immigration, and self-delusion, and fuelled by a longing for the unattainable and a nostalgia for what is about to be lost, Barcelona Dreaming is a love letter to one of the world''s most beautiful cities and a powerful and poignant fable for our uncertain times.

To many, the problem of evil and suffering constitutes by far the most serious objection to mainstream religious belief. For all its starkness and salience, though, the dilemma is also widely misinterpreted. That visceral feelings often dominate discussion is understandable on one level. But this can displace the clearer-headed thinking needed to shed greater light on the subject. In this brief but broad-ranging book, Rupert Shortt shows that belief in a divine Creator is much more coherent intellectually than many sceptics suppose. Basic misconceptions about core aspects of Judaism, Christianity and Islam can in turn spawn still greater caricatures of subjects including divine power. Having cleared the ground, Shortt goes on to discuss the nature of evil from a classical Abrahamic standpoint and how Christian resources in particular offer guidance in an area where raw emotion, conceptual thought and the deepest trials of the spirit overlap. If the dilemma has no clear solution, that need not discredit sensitive and creative ways of grappling with it.The Hardest Problem is an accessible contemporary reflection on the perennial question of human suffering.

Being Myself is a contemplative exploration of the essential nature of our self.Everyone has the sense of ''being myself,'' but not everyone knows their self clearly. In most cases, our sense of self is mixed up with the content of experience and, as a result, its natural condition of peace and happiness is veiled. Through investigation and analogy, the meditations in this collection take us back to our true nature again and again, until we begin to find our self naturally and effortlessly established there, as that. In time, experience loses its capacity to veil our being, and its innate peace and joy emerge from the background of experience.* * *The Essence of Meditation Series presents meditations on the essential, non-dual understanding that lies at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions, compiled from contemplations led by Rupert Spira at his meetings and retreats. This simple, contemplative approach, which encourages a clear seeing of one''s experience rather than any kind of effort or discipline, leads the reader to an experiential understanding of their own essential being and the peace and fulfilment that are inherent within it.

To go beyond is to move into a higher state of consciousness, to a place of bliss, greater understanding, love, and deep connectedness, a realm where we finally find life''s meaning - experiences for which all spiritual seekers seek.Dr Rupert Sheldrake, writing as both a scientist and a spiritual explorer, looks at seven spiritual practices that are personally transformative and have scientifically measurable effects. He combines the latest scientific research with his extensive knowledge of mystical traditions around the world to show how we may tune into more-than-human realms of consciousness through psychedelics, such as ayahuasca, and by taking cannabis. He also shows how everyday activities can have mystical dimensions, including sports and learning from animals. He discusses traditional religious practices such as fasting, prayer, and the celebration of festivals and holy days.Why do these practices work? Are their effects all inside brains and essentially illusory? Or can we really make contact with forms of consciousness greater than our own? We are in the midst of a spiritual revival. This book is an essential guide.

As a Professor of Anatomy and Forensic Anthropology, she focuses on mortal remains in her lab, at burial sites, at scenes of violence, murder and criminal dismemberment, and when investigating mass fatalities due to war, accident or natural disaster.
