Cuban writer Ivan Cardena Maturell meets a mysterious foreigner on a Havana beach who is always in the company of two Russian wolfhounds. Ivan quickly names him ''the man who loved dogs''. The man confesses that he is Ramon Mercader, the man who killed Leon Trotsky in Mexico City, and that he is now in secret exile in Cuba. This is Leonardo Padura''s most brilliantly executed novel yet. It is the story of revolutions fought and betrayed, the ways in which political convictions are continually tested, and a critique of the role of fear in consolidating power.

Unlike later buildings called ‘health centres’, The Pioneer Health Centre was not a medical facility offering curative services. It was a club in which families were encouraged to cultivate their own health, and in which the doctors who ran the Centre attempted to look at health, science and social development in a new way. At one level, as a local social welfare project, the Centre was a significant success. At another, it had a much greater ambition, which was to find a way to address the growing threat that human activity posed to the natural environment. This aspect of the experiment was not a success, but can now be seen as having been visionary for its time. The story of the Peckham Experiment will appeal to anyone who is interested in the influence of biological ideas on social welfare politics in early twentieth century Britain, and anyone who is seeking to think about new ways to improve the human environment, strengthen local communities and improve the lives of ordinary people.

"Bill Bryson on two wheels". (Independent). Scaling a new peak of rash over-ambition, Tim Moore tackles the 9,000km route of the old Iron Curtain on a tiny-wheeled, two-geared East German shopping bike. Asking for trouble and getting it, he sets off at the Arctic winter's brutal height, bullying his plucky MIFA 900 through the endless and massively sub-zero desolation of snowbound Finland. Haunted throughout the journey by the border detritus of watchtowers and rusted razor wire, Moore reflects on the curdling of the Communist dream, and the memories of a Cold War generation reared on the fear of apocalypse - at a time of ratcheting East-West tension. After three months, 20 countries and a 58-degree jaunt up the centigrade scale, man and bike finally wobble up to a Black Sea beach in Bulgaria, older and wiser, but mainly older.

The Who is one of the most energetic and influential bands in rock history. Beginning as a mod band in London’s Shepherd’s Bush, they were shaped in character and style by the Pop Art movement of the Swinging Sixties. They pioneered the rock opera genre with Tommy (1969) and Quadrophenia (1973) before becoming a key influence for the punk revolution of the 1970s, establishing an energy and attitude that has resonated ever since. During a career spanning sixty years, The Who have released nearly 300 tracks, most during the period of their classic lineup (1964–1978) with lead vocalist Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townsend, bassist John Entwistle and drummer Keith Moon. On the one hand their songs are about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, while on the other they reach much deeper, holding society to account on contemporary subjects, and in one example, the 1972 song ‘Relay’, imagining a futuristic network that has been credited as a prophesy of the internet. The Who: Song By Song is a forensic examination of every song in the band’s totemic discography, including different versions and background facts.

When the Past Is Always Present: Emotional Traumatization, Causes, and Cures introduces several new ideas about trauma and trauma treatment. The first of these is that another way to treat disorders arising from the mind/brain may be to use the senses. This idea, which is at the core of psychosensory therapy, forms what the author considers the "third pillar" of trauma treatment (the first and second pillars being psychotherapy and psychopharmacology). Psychosensory therapy postulates that sensory input—for example, touch—creates extrasensory activity that alters brain function and the way we respond to stimuli. The second idea presented in this book is that traumatization is encoded in the amygdala only under special circumstances. Thus, by understanding what makes an individual resistant to traumatization we can offer a way of preventing it. The third idea is that traumatization occurs because we cannot find a haven during the event. This is the cornerstone of havening, the particular form of psychosensory therapy described in the book. Using evolutionary biological principles and recently published neuroscientific studies, this book outlines in detail how havening touch de-links the emotional experience from a trauma, essentially making it just an ordinary memory.

One woman. One ship. One astonishing true story. Summer 1856. Nineteen-year-old Mary Ann Patten and her husband, Joshua, are young and ambitious. Both from New England seafaring families, they have already completed their first voyage around the world with Joshua as captain. Their dream of building a home and a family is almost within reach, but the price is one last dangerous transit - a race to deliver supplies to the other side of the country. And there is no alternative but to sail all the way around. Yet as their ship leaves New York, navigating towards the jagged coastline of South America, Joshua falls ill, confined to his bunk and delirious. The treacherous first mate is imprisoned in the brig for insubordination, and with no obvious option for a new captain, Mary Ann steps into the breach. Within days she has put down a mutiny and must now attempt to steer this 216' clipper ship laden with the modern equivalent of $11 million of cargo through Drake's Passage and around Cape Horn - the most treacherous waters in the world.

The Lord's commitment to make himself known throughout the nations is the missionary theme that spans the Bible, and is the central theological concern of the book of Exodus. Countering scholarly tendencies to fragment the text due to theological problems, Ross Blackburn contends that Exodus can be read as a unified whole, and that an appreciation of this missionary theme in its canonical context is of great help in dealing with difficult issues that the book poses. For example, how is Exodus 6:3 best understood? Is there a tension between law and gospel, or mercy and judgment? How should we understand the painstaking detail of the tabernacle chapters?From a careful examination of Exodus, Blackburn demonstrates that:* the Lord humbles Pharaoh so that the world would know that only God can save;* the Lord gives Israel the law so that she might display his goodness to the world, and live in a state of order and blessing;* the Lord deals with Israel's idolatry severely, yet mercifully, for his goodness cannot be known if his glory is compromised. In the end, Exodus not only sheds important light on the church's mission, but also reveals what kind of God the Lord is, one ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Andrew Dickson White, a founding member of Cornell University, released A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom in two volumes in 1896. The original purpose of White's 1874 lecture on The Battlefields of Science is stated in the introduction. White expanded on this idea in a book titled The Warfare of Science that same year. He traces the growing separation of science from theology in numerous domains in these books. According to science historian Lawrence M. Principe, "No credible historians of science now continue to support the warfare thesis... The foundations of the warfare thesis may be found in the writings of two persons, John William Draper and Andrew Dickson White, from the late 19th century. Scientists have known for years that White and Draper's claims are more propaganda than history, according to science historian and atheist Ronald Numbers, who wrote in a collection about errors committed by White and others. The "battle" paradigm was based on a terrible oversimplification that required all facets of the history of science and religion to fit into one ill-chosen conceptual box. As a result, many scholars ignored the vast amount of historical information that simply didn't fit into that ... Unknown localization key: "more"

RECENT TECHNICAL ADVANCES mean it is typically cheaper to produce electricity from renewable sources than from fossil fuels. Yet, around the world, the transition to green energy is happening too slowly if it is happening at all. As Brett Christophers argues, the problem is rooted in the absurdist nature of capitalist priorities: saving the planet on which our lives depend is not sufficiently profitable.

Why do Czech men love sandals and white socks, and why do Czech women practice extramarital sex with greater gusto than women in most other European countries? Did you know that Czech Euroscepticism has its roots in 1620? That Czech society is in reality an undercover matriarchy? Or that some Czech have names like Hippopotamus, Don't-Eat-Bread and even Pepa from Hong Kong? When is it crucial not to do as you are told, and should you be happy when somebody gives you a painting of a rhombus? In this manual, foreigners will find light answers to these and many other weighty questions about the Czechs and their fascinating society. It is written by a foreigner who after years in the country has discovered that many things and people are not what they seem at first glance. This manual does not treat the Czechs as 10 million identical people with some typical Czech personal features. Instead, it points out that the conflux of a turbulent history, religious clashes, influence from diverse cultures, and four decades of Bolshevik isolation has created a society that in some respects is suprisingly tolerant and rich, and in others a bit less admirable and generous.
