When Conscience Calls - Kristen Renwick Monroe
What is moral courage? Why is it important and what drives it? An argument for why we should care about moral courage and how it shapes the world around us. War, totalitarianism, pandemics, and political repression are among the many challenges and crises that force us to consider what humane people can do when the world falls apart. When tolerance disappears, truth becomes rare, and civilized discourse is a distant ideal, why do certain individuals find the courage to speak out when most do not? When Conscience Calls offers powerful portraits of ordinary people performing extraordinary acts—be it confronting presidents and racist mobs or simply caring for and protecting the vulnerable. Uniting these portraits is the idea that moral courage stems not from choice but from one’s identity. Ultimately, Kristen Renwick Monroe argues bravery derives from who we are, our core values, and our capacity to believe we must change the world. When Conscience Calls is a rich examination of why some citizens embrace anger, bitterness, and fearmongering while others seek common ground, fight against dogma, and stand up to hate.

When Courage Calls: Josephine Butler and the Radical Pursuit of Justice for Women - Sarah C. Williams
Millicent Fawcett once described Josephine Butler as ''the most distinguished English woman of the nineteenth century''. Among the first feminist activists, Butler raised public awareness of the plight of destitute women, worked to address human trafficking and led a vigorous campaign to secure equal rights for women before the law. In her pursuit of justice, Butler did as much for women as William Wilberforce did for African slaves within the British Empire, and yet, while Wilberforce remains a household name, Butler is forgotten. Underpinning Butler''s public life of political activism lies the full corpus of her writing and the spirituality that grounded her activism. When Courage Calls offers a profound examination of Butler''s inner life of prayer, defined by her radical sense of justice that was able to transform Victorian society. Such conviction offers us a taste of what might be possible for our own time and culture.

When Beavers Flew - Kristen Tracy, Luisa Uribe
This fascinating picture book tells the unique, quirky, and true story of how one man in Idaho saved 76 beavers from destroying a town by parachuting them into uninhabited wetlands.In 1948, the town of McCall, Idaho was growing rapidly. World War II was over, and the little town tucked away in the mountains began to boom. There was only one problem. As the town expanded, they found beavers everywhere. A beaver here, a beaver there, and it didnÂ’t take long to realize that humans and beavers werenÂ’t great cohabitators. But one clever and resourceful Fish and Game Warden named Elmo Heter had an idea.Heter knew that the beavers were integral to the wetlands, so keeping the well-being of the beavers in mind he set out to find a way to relocate them. After a few failed attempts, he finally landed on a wild idea… parachutes. Using a surplus of parachutes left over from WWII and creating a special box with air holes designed to pop open when it hit the ground, Heter devised a way to parachute the beavers into IdahoÂ’s backcountry, an area that beavers hadnÂ’t inhabited in decades.Kirsten TracyÂ’s fascinating and playful nonfiction text pairs beautifully with Luisa ...

Journeys Out of the Body - Robert A. Monroe
When, unpredictably and against his will, Robert Monroe began to have out-of-body experiences, he was frightened and disbelieving. He found that he could leave his physical body to places far removed from the material and spiritual realities of life on earth. He came to inhabit a world unbounded by death or time. As Robert Monroe met many other people who have had similar experiences and read the literature of the East that documents the long history of this phenomenon, his fears were alleviated. His journeys became more frequent and began to change his life. This classic, first-hand account of out-of-body experiences challenges us to revise our ideas about life and death. Robert Monroe's step-by-step instructions invite the reader to initiate their own out-of-body experiences.

Kennedy’s birthday, or leaning out of a balcony over the streets of New York City, or famously standing over the subway grates while shooting The Seven Year Itch. Behind the glamour, we’ve also heard the sad stories: her mother’s institutionalization, her three failed marriages, her own struggles with mental health, her surprising death that still leaves us with questions.Marilyn Monroe: A Photographic Life delves into the life of the star—before, during, and after she became a “Blonde Bombshell.” Born Norma Jeane Mortenson (the Baker came later), she had a troubled childhood that culminated in her self-described “inferiority complex.” But all the while, she dreamed of something more.Read the stories behind her first marriage (and why she kept it secret when she started modeling), her early roles with the studios (and the one exec who thought she didn’t have “it”), and her life as a budding actress that include humble anecdotes (at one point, she ...

The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of his friend Marilyn Monroe - Andrew O'Hagan
An utterly unique take on the most extraordinary period of the twentieth century, from one of Britain''s most exciting literary writers.In November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. His name was Maf. He had an instinct for the twentieth century. For politics. For psychoanalysis. For literature. For interior decoration. This is his story.Maf the dog was with Marilyn for the last two years of her life. Not only a picaresque hero himself, he was also a scholar of the adventuring rogue in literature and art, witnessing the rise of America''s new liberalism, civil rights, the space race, the New York critics, and was Marilyn Monroe''s constant companion.Maf was very much a real historical figure, with his license and photographs sold at auction along with Marilyn''s other person affects. Through his eyes we get an insight into the life of Monroe herself, and a fascinating new angle on the most talked-about decade of recent times.

Tajné životy Marilyn Monroe
Audiokniha na CD - autor Anthony Summers, čte Vasil Fridrich I wanna be loved by you… zpívala kdysi ikona filmového plátna Marilyn Monroe. Tato věta by mohla být mottem jejího života. Publikum a hlavně jeho mužská část Marilyn milovali, byla sex symbolem, ona sama však štěstí v lásce nikdy nenašla. Její život ukončila předčasná smrt v třiceti šesti letech. Celý ten neveselý životní příběh Marilyn se začal psát krátce po jejím narození. Její matka Gladys Monroe totiž nebyla schopná se o dceru starat (její dvě děti z prvního manželství vychovávali příbuzní prvního manžela), a tak Marilyn trávila většinu času v sirotčincích nebo v péči pěstounů. Marilyn navíc dostala do vínku náchylnost k duševním poruchám a na její nestálé psychice se také do velké míry podepsal nespočet potratů (dobrovolných i samovolných) a jiných gynekologických zákroků. K prvnímu potratu ji ještě jako – náctiletou údajně donutila její pečovatelka Grace McKeeová. Marilyn si podle slov...

Šokující smrt Marilyn Monroe - Mike Rothmiller, Douglas Thompson
Poslední měsíce života slavné hvězdy. Na veřejnost se poprvé dostávají záznamy z deníku, který si vedla. Konec života Marilyn Monroe se přiblížil ve chvíli, kdy slunce zalilo kapotu luxusního Lincolnu Continental, který vyjel z letiště v Los Angeles a zamířil přes Santa Moniku dál na sever. Důležití muži v jejím životě, ona klika báječných a slavných mužů, kdysi jí tak bezmezně oddaných a zcela okouzlených, zatím prošla zlověstnou proměnou. Když naleštěný lincoln zpomalil, aby zabočil doprava na bulvár San Vicente a pak do centra Los Angeles, byl ten nejvyděšenější z Marilyniných milenců už skálopevně přesvědčen o nutnosti provést plán, který situaci vyřeší. To, co uslyšel v prvních minutách krátké cesty, ho přesvědčilo, že jediným řešením je Marilynina smrt. Její neochota mlčet byla pro jednoho z nejmocnějších mužů světa mimořádně nebezpečná. Marilyn už pro něj nepředstavovala mámivý sen ani opojnou fantazii, ale jen noční můru. V sobotu 4. srpna 1962 odpoledne, kdy nad pobřežím svištěl "ďábelský vichr" z kalifornských hor, pohlíželi jistí odhodlaní jedinci na nejzářivější hollywoodskou hvězdu a nejkrásnější ženu světa, novodobou Helenu Trójskou, se zlověstným odporem… "Hollywood je místo, kde vám dají tisíce dolarů za jednu pusu, a padesát centů za vaši duši." Marilyn Monroe, 1958.

Battles of Conscience - Tobias Kelly
A ground-breaking new study brings us a very different picture of the Second World War, asking fundamental questions about ethical commitmentsAccounts of the Second World War usually involve tales of bravery in battle, or stoicism on the home front, as the British public stood together against Fascism. However, the war looks very different when seen through the eyes of the 60,000 conscientious objectors who refused to take up arms and whose stories, unlike those of the First World War, have been almost entirely forgotten.Tobias Kelly invites us to spend the war five of these individuals: Roy Ridgway, a factory clerk from Liverpool; Tom Burns, a teacher from east London; Stella St John, who trained as a vet and ended up in jail; Ronald Duncan, who set up a collective farm; and Fred Urquhart, a working-class Scottish socialist and writer. We meet many more objectors along the way -- people both determined and torn -- and travel from Finland to Syria, India to rural England, Edinburgh to Trinidad.Although conscientious objectors were often criticised and scorned, figures such as Winston Churchill and the Archbishop of Canterbury supported their right to object, at least in principle, suggesting that liberty of conscience was one ...

Everyday Utopia - Kristen R. Ghodseeová
Anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee looks at pioneering experiments in communal living to present a rousing argument for rethinking what we mean by home.‘A must-read’ THOMAS PIKETTY‘Just wonderful’ ANGELA SAINIThroughout history and around the world today, forward-thinking communities have pioneered alternative ways of living together, sharing property and raising children. In Everyday Utopia, anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee explores what we can learn from these experiments – from the ancient Greek commune founded by Pythagoras to the trail-blazing feminists of the French Revolution, from the cohousing movement in contemporary Denmark to the flourishing ecovillages of Colombia and Portugal. She shows why utopian thinking is essential to making a fairer world and that many of the best ways of getting there begin at home.

Norman Mailer. Bert Stern. Marilyn Monroe - Mailer Norman, Bert Stern
“This book is really two books. It is a biography, and it is also a pictorial retrospective of an actress whose greatest love affair was conceivably with the camera,” wrote Norman Mailer in his 1973 biography, Marilyn. TASCHEN has paired Mailer’s original text with Bert Stern’s photographs from the legendary Last Sitting—widely considered the most intimate photographs of Monroe ever taken—to create a fitting tribute to the woman who, at the time of her death in 1962, was the world’s most famous, a symbol of glamour and eroticism for an entire generation. But though she was feted and adored by her public, her private life was that of a little girl lost, desperate to find love and security. Mailer’s Marilyn is beautiful, tragic, and complex. As Mailer reflects upon her life—from her bleak childhood through to the mysterious circumstances of her death—she emerges as a symbol of the bizarre decade during which she reigned as Hollywood’s greatest female star. This book, conceived by Lawrence Schiller, Mailer’s collaborator on five works, combines the author’s masterful text with Stern’s penetrating images of the 36-year-old Marilyn. Photographed forVoguemagazine over three days at the Bel-Air Hotel, Marilyn had never allowed such unfettered access, nor ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Freedom of Conscience in (Post)Soviet Space
Freedom of Conscience in (Post)Soviet Space, a collection of original essays edited by Julie K. deGraffenried, Michael Long, and Xenia Dennen, is inspired by the work of Michael Bourdeaux, the holdings of the Keston Archive, and continuing questions of freedom of conscience. Ranging from England to Siberia and moving chronologically from 1917 to the twenty-first century, this book reveals the unique organization and methodology behind the Keston''s collection of materials and the ways those in the West thought about religion and communism during the Cold War, including the connection between religious liberty and human rights. The essays demonstrate the depth and breadth of current research on religion in communist and postcommunist contexts, a much-needed corrective to contemporary political uses of religious freedom. Bourdeaux''s activism and preservation of materials influenced many fields of study, as reflected by contributing authors'' varied disciplines—history, theology, sociology, languages, and literature. A preface by the theologian and former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams comments on Michael Bourdeaux''s life and significance.
