There exist words for orphan, widow and widower, but there is no word that captures and conveys this tragic type of loss.It has been eleven years since Diane Foley’s son, the American journalist James Foley, was kidnapped in northern Syria, and nearly ten since that day in August 2014 when she would learn that he had been murdered by ISIS in a public beheading that would ricochet in video around the world. A whole decade. Time rushes past. And yet, for Diane, that moment is unending. In American Mother, legendary author Colum McCann tells Diane’s story as she recalls the months of his captivity, the efforts made to bring him home and the days following his death, in which Diane came face to face with one of the men responsible for her son’s kidnapping and torture. A testament to the power of radical empathy and moral courage, American Mother takes us inside one woman’s extraordinary journey to find connection in a world torn asunder, and to fight for others as a way to keep her son’s memory alive.

The Southern Railway, and later British Railways’ Southern Region extended its reach into Devon and Cornwall, competing with the Great Western Railway. The main line served Exeter and Plymouth and named trains such as the ‘Atlantic Coast Express’ and the ‘Devon Belle’ took holidaymakers to the coastal resorts, including Padstow, Bude and Ilfracombe. In addition, a network of lines served smaller locations in the two counties. Many of these lines were closed in the 1960s, during the Beeching era, and earlier BR’s Western Region had taken over the Southern’s lines in Devon and Cornwall west of Exeter. In this book railway historian Robert Hendry documents in photographs the changing race of the railways on these lines, from the days of the Southern Railway into BR’s ownership.

So began Diane’s new life phase: teaching people how to pull together a meal in a cinch.A self-taught home cook and former caterer with six grownish kids, Diane Morrisey knows what people want to eat—and what they can cook in the short window most of us have to get dinner on the table.

When Diane Arbus died in 1971 at the age of 48, she was already a significant influence—even something of a legend—for serious photographers, although only a relatively small number of her most important pictures were widely known at the time. The publication of Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph in 1972—along with the posthumous retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art—offered the general public its first encounter with the breadth and power of her achievements. The response was unprecedented. The monograph, composed of 80 photographs, was edited and designed by the painter Marvin Israel, Diane Arbus'' friend and colleague, and by her daughter Doon Arbus. Their goal in producing the book was to remain as faithful as possible to the standards by which Arbus judged her own work and to the ways in which she hoped it would be seen. Universally acknowledged as a photobook classic, Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph is a timeless masterpiece with editions in five languages, and remains the foundation of her international reputation. A quarter of a century has done nothing to diminish the riveting impact of these pictures or the controversy they inspire. Arbus'' photographs penetrate the psyche with all the force of a personal encounter and, in doing so, transform the way we see the world and the people in it.

A new collection of photographs by Diane Arbus illuminates her singular ability to enter private worlds. Diane Arbus: Sanctum Sanctorum brings together forty-four photographs made in private places across New York, New Jersey, California, and London between 1961 and 1971. Through her singular combination of intelligence, charisma, intuition, and courage, Diane Arbus (1923–1971) was frequently invited into personal realms seldom seen by strangers. Though made in intimate settings, the photographs collected in this volume convey no sense of intrusion or trespass—instead, they reveal an unspoken exchange between photographer and subject, a moment of recognition in which confidences emerge freely and without judgment. Arbus’s desire to know people embraced a vast spectrum of humanity. Her subjects featured in Sanctum Sanctorum include debutantes, nudists, celebrities, aspiring celebrities, socialites, transvestites, babies, widows, circus performers, lovers, female impersonators, and a blind couple in their bedroom. Through a fresh consideration of little-known photographs among works that may be more familiar, this publication invites viewers to discover aspects of even well-known images that have previously gone unnoticed. Published on the occasion of the exhibitions presented jointly by David Zwirner, London, and Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco, Sanctum Sanctorum is an invaluable addition to the understanding of one of the most daring and transformative photographers of the twentieth century.

Audiokniha: Fascinující kombinace odhodlání a nekonečného, vysilujícího boje za záchranu přírody, to by smysl života Dian Fosseyové. „Když si uvědomíme cenu všeho živého, budeme méně lpět na minulosti a můžeme se tak více soustředit na záchranu budoucnosti.“ Jedna z nejdůležitějších knih, jaké kdy byly napsány o našem spojení se světem přírody. Kniha Gorily v mlze je strhující zprávou o třinácti letech Dian Fosseyové v odlehlém africkém deštném pralese a jejím mimořádném úsilí zajistit jeho budoucnost. Příběh lásky, aniž by byl milostným příběhem, příběh války, aniž by byl o násilí, příběh o snaze jedné ženy naplnit své sny a zároveň zajistit přežití horských goril v přirozeném prostředí Afriky. I když autorčina práce skončila tragicky její vraždou, kniha zůstává neocenitelným svědectvím jedné z nejdéle trvajících terénních studií primátů. V roce 1988 vznikla filmová adaptace, hlavní hrdinku představila Sigourney Weaver.

She’s chosen to spend her summer break as a volunteer helping to register black voters. But as Ellie follows her ideals fighting for the civil rights of the marginalized, her scandalized parents scorn her efforts, and her neighbors reveal their prejudices.

The conversation around menopause has opened up; most of us understand what it means to go through the menopause, how it affects health and wellbeing and what we can do to manage difficult symptoms.BUT. Do we really know why menopause matters? Estrogen levels drop - so what? Periods get heavier - so what? It matters because estrogen protects heart health and if levels drop dramatically, women are at greater risk of a cardiac event. And heavy periods are not trivial if, for example, you''re a primary school teacher who can''t just abandon your children mid-lesson to deal with flooding, or a police officer who can''t access a toilet to change sanitary protection. Women in these situations - women like you; your mother; your sister; your friend; your partner - often just give up. On work, on their careers, on their health. And this isn''t even taking into account those who can''t access any healthcare support to take HRT, or enter a conversation in which that might become a possibility. Diane Danzebrink was one of the first people to take up the fight to have menopause recognized and covered on the school PSHE curriculum and her campaigns have been critical to the way in which menopause is no longer seen as a shameful or trivial experience. Her book Making Menopause Matter reminds us not only of what menopause is - of the scope, nature and impact of symptoms and of how we can manage them - but also why it is important that we continue to campaign for access to support, enhanced understanding and an acceptance that it is not a seamless transition for many. Diane''s wise, compassionate writing offers practical advice on symptoms along with deeper insights into how we can better support those whose lives are hugely impacted by their menopause. Part manifesto, a little memoir, plenty of self-help and ultimately a call to arms for society, public health and individuals alike, Making Menopause Matter should be required reading for all.

For fans of McCarthy’s Bar, a debut memoir about a woman’s humorous and poignant solo adventures of self-discovery on Ireland’s backroads following a painful divorce. When an introverted, divorced, middle-aged mother and school librarian from the Midwest decides to leave her comfort zone and travel alone to Ireland, her desire to fulfill her dream overcomes her fear as she immerses herself into what will become an adventure of courage and self-discovery. Motivated by her love of Irish music and Celtic spirituality, along with her desire to find healing from depression and divorce, Diane sets off for Ireland, a country she’s been obsessed with for years. Her romantic preconceptions of the Emerald Isle quickly clash with reality, however, and while there she faces many obstacles, including driving the narrow, ill-marked roads throughout the countryside she traverses. Nevertheless, this first sojourn leads to three more trips over the next six years, and she gradually learns to navigate Ireland’s back roads—not to mention her own personal and spiritual roads toward self-discovery and acceptance. This heartfelt and humorous account of Diane’s adventures—including hanging out with an Irish rock band, traveling remote roads in search of a hermit nun, and meeting her favorite Irish musician not once but twice—is sure to inspire readers to get outside their own comfort zones and take some rewarding risks of their own.

Diane Keaton’s cabinet of saved and found photographic curiosities is a visual autobiography of sorts and scrapbook of her fascinations and reflections.A visual autobiography of a kind as only Diane Keaton could tell it, via the celebrated star’s idiosyncratic and personal collections and ruminative texts, Savedoffers an unprecedented glimpse into the mind of the legendary film star. The book begins with an homage to movies—curiously, to old “b” grade horror flicks, such as Attack of the Puppet People—a passion that manifests in a collection of rare film stills showing large-brain aliens with crablike hands and terrified men with eyes growing from their shoulders. In a second chapter or collection, the reader encoun-ters “Cracked,” a startling selection of crinkled and neglected negatives: found portraits that speak of the past through the broken lens of time. Even more intimately revealing are photographs taken by the star herself, be they of pigeons while on downtime from the set of Reds in London or of the “greeters” of Hollywood Boulevard, caught at the other end of her Rolleiflex camera lens, now revealed as the seen, the experienced, the remembered, the cherished. But this is only the beginning, the surface of a very deep dive into the wellsprings of one of the great creative talents at work today. The book is an invitation to dive in.
