Witches â “ whether broomstick-riding spell-casters or Wiccan earth-worshippers â “ have been culturally relevant for centuries. For centuries, too, belief in the potency of witchcraft has been debated, accused witches have been hunted and punished, and film and TV productions have brought the witch and the witch-hunter to big and small screens.But where did our perception of witches â “ good and bad â “ come from? What motivated wide-scale panics about witchcraft during certain periods? How were alleged witches identified, accused, and variously tortured and punished?Steven Veerapen traces witches, witchcraft, and witch-hunters from the explosion of mass-trials under King James VI and I in the late sixteenth century to the death of the witch-hunting phenomenon in the early eighteenth century. Based on documents and the latest historical research, he explores what motivated widespread belief in demonic witchcraft throughout Britain as well as in continental Europe, what caused mass panics about alleged witches, and what led, ultimately, to the relegation of the witch â “ and the witch-hunter â “ to the realm of fantasy and the fringes of society.

Jak se Nico a jeho partnerka Jax (Pam Grier) blíží k psychopatickému gangsterskému bossovi (Henry Silva), rozpoutává režisér Andrew Davis (Uprchlík) nad celým Chicagem doslova akční smršť.

Mason Storm však žije. Bude trvat velmi dlouho, než se pustí do hledání vrahů. Potom už jej však nic nezastavíDetektiv Mason Storm pořídí usvědčující videozáznam schůzky neznámého poslance se zločineckým podsvětím, na níž se domlouvá vražda senátora Campbella, po jehož křesle poslanec touží.

Vážně zraněný Storm, oficiálně prohlášený za mrtvého, upadne do kómatu. Zatímco zkorumpovaný kapitán Huiland se pokusí Stormovu památku pošpinit, jeho kolega a přítel O´Malley zachrání usvědčující videozáznam a zajistí, aby byl Storm inkognito převezen do bezpečí, kde by se případně mohl uzdravit. Storm se po sedmi letech probere z kómatu. Mafiáni se to ale dozvědí a ihned se ho pokoušejí zabít. Storma zachrání zdravotní sestra Andy Stewartová, která ho ukryje. Detektiv se postupně uzdravuje a fyzicky i psychicky se připravuje k odplatě a odhalení spiknutí. Andy a Storm se do sebe brzy zamilují. Zločinci však stahují smyčku kolem Storma a likvidují všechny, kteří překážejí.

Steven Pinker, the bestselling author of The Language Instinct, deploys his gift for explaining big ideas in The Sense of Style - an entertaining writing guide for the 21st centuryWhat is the secret of good prose? Does writing well even matter in an age of instant communication? Should we care? In this funny, thoughtful book about the modern art of writing, Steven Pinker shows us why we all need a sense of style.More than ever before, the currency of our social and cultural lives is the written word, from Twitter and texting to blogs, e-readers and old-fashioned books. But most style guides fail to prepare people for the challenges of writing in the 21st century, portraying it as a minefield of grievous errors rather than a form of pleasurable mastery. They fail to deal with an inescapable fact about language: it changes over time, adapted by millions of writers and speakers to their needs. Confusing changes in the world with moral decline, every generation believes the kids today are degrading society and taking language with it. A guide for the new millennium, writes Steven Pinker, has to be different.Drawing on the latest research in linguistics and cognitive science, Steven Pinker replaces the recycled dogma of previous style guides with reason and evidence. This thinking person s guide to good writing shows why style still matters: in communicating effectively, in enhancing the spread of ideas, in earning a reader s trust and, not least, in adding beauty to the world. Eye-opening, mind-expanding and cheerful, The Sense of Style shows that good style is part of what it means to be human.

September 1613.In Belvoir Castle, the heir of one of Englandâ ™s great noble families falls suddenly and dangerously ill. His body is â ˜tormentedâ ™ with violent convulsions. Within a few short weeks he will suffer an excruciating death. Soon the whole family will be stricken with the same terrifying symptoms. The second son, the last male of the line, will not survive.It is said witches are to blame. And so the Earl of Rutlandâ ™s sons will not be the last to die.Witches traces the dramatic events which unfolded at one of Englandâ ™s oldest and most spectacular castles four hundred years ago. The case is among those which constitute the European witch craze of the 15th-18th centuries, when suspected witches were burned, hanged, or tortured by the thousand. Like those other cases, it is a tale of superstition, the darkest limits of the human imagination and, ultimately, injustice â “ a reminder of how paranoia and hysteria can create an environment in which nonconformism spells death. But as Tracy Borman reveals here, it is not quite typical. The most powerful and Machiavellian figure of the Jacobean court had a vested interest in events at Belvoir.He would mastermind a conspiracy that has remained hidden for centuries.

Odehrál třetí nejvyšší počet zápasů za reprezentaci v historii anglického fotbalu. Byl pravděpodobně nejlepším a zcela jistě nejzanícenějším britským sportovcem své generace. Ale kdo je vlastně Steven Gerrard? Za svůj milovaný Liverpool odehrál více než 700 zápasů a za národní tým Anglie dalších 114. Steven Gerrard je sportovec, jemuž se nikdo nevyrovná v oddanosti spoluhráčům, a je nezpochybnitelným vzorem. Ale díky čemu se stal tím, kým je? A díky čemu se mu podařilo zůstat tak dlouho na vrcholu v nejtěžší lize světa? V knize Můj příběh vypráví Gerrard upřímně o své mimořádné kariéře, klíčových zápasech a momentech, na něž nám nabízí vlastní pohled ze hřiště. Ať už je to úžasný obrat Liverpoolu ve finále Ligy mistrů 2005 nebo jeho starty na mistrovstvích světa a Evropy, podává nám vzrušující obraz výher – a proher – před desítkami tisíc bouřících fanoušků. A především je to úžasný a velmi vzácný osobní příběh o tom, jaké to je zůstat věrný jedinému klubu v časech dobrých i zlých. Bez vytáček, odvážně a upřímně se v knize Stevena Gerrarda Můj příběh vypráví o typu hráčů, kteří už vymírají – o muži, jenž drží slovo a jenž je věrný svému klubu i sám sobě.

STEVEN GERRARD odohral za reprezentáciu Anglicka tretí najvyšší počet zápasov v jej histórii. Možno ho považovať za najväčšieho a nepochybne najoddanejšieho britského športovca jeho generácie. No kto je v skutočnosti Steven Gerrard? Predovšetkým je to jeden z najpríťažlivejších športových vzorov. Za svoj milovaný Liverpool odohral viac než sedemsto zápasov a ďalších stoštrnásť v drese anglického národného tímu. Ako sa však stal tým, kým bol? Ako sa mu podarilo udržať tak dlho v špičke najťažšej futbalovej ligy sveta? V knihe Môj príbeh hovorí Steven Gerrard otvorene o svojej výnimočnej futbalovej kariére, o pozadí kľúčových zápasov a prináša zaujatý pohľad hráča priamo na ihrisku. Či rozpráva o ohromujúcom triumfe Liverpoolu v Lige majstrov v roku 2005, alebo o svojich výkonoch na mnohých svetových a európskych turnajoch, zakaždým nám sprostredkúva vzrušujúci zážitok z prežívania výhier – i prehier – pred zrakmi desiatok tisícov rozvášnených divákov. Nadovšetko však spoznávame neuveriteľný a zriedkavý osobný príbeh o lojalite k jednému klubu v dobrom i v zlom, nech bola cena akákoľvek. Kniha Môj príbeh je poslednou bodkou odvážneho, statočného, poctivého, no i chybujúceho futbalistu, akí sa už nerodia, je príbehom muža, ktorý si stál za svojím slovom, za svojím klubom a bol vždy sám sebou.

Zlomový okamžik v životě Vladimira Vladimiroviče Putina nastal na podzim roku 1989 v Drážďanech. Před místní rezidenturou KGB, kde mladý Putin sloužil, se shromáždil dav protestujících, kteří chtěli vzít nenáviděnou organizaci útokem. Bez vojenské podpory nemohl Putin budovu dlouho udržet. Rozhodl se tedy blafovat. Vyšel neozbrojen před bránu a prohlásil: Moji vojáci mají zbraně. Vydal jsem jim rozkazy: pokud někdo vkročí do objektu, mají zahájit palbu. Zástup protestujících se rozešel. Ve své knize Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina předkládá americký investigativní novinář Steven Lee Myers barvitý obraz muže, který se z řadového agenta KGB vyšvihl až na vrchol vládní pyramidy - stal se ruským prezidentem. V důkladně rešeršovaných kapitolách rozebírá Putinovu rodinu a dětství, jeho kariérní růst i kontroverzní rozhodnutí v pozici prezidenta. Výsledkem je přesvědčivý a živý psychologický portrét člověka, jehož prvotní motivací je zachování zdání autority za každou cenu, člověka, který nedává najevo slabost, který improvizuje i chladně kalkuluje a u něhož se cílevědomost váže s výkonností a flexibilitou. O autorovi: Steven Lee Myers je americký investigativní novinář, který od roku 1989 pracuje v listu The New York Times. Od roku 2002 strávil během dvou pobytů více než sedm let jako zahraniční korespondent v Rusku a referoval o druhé čečenské válce, ukrajinské oranžové revoluci, zimní olympiádě v ruském Soči i anexi Krymu. Předtím pracoval jako novinář v New Yorku, Washingtonu a za války v Iráku také v Bagdádu. Nyní se specializuje na zahraniční záležitosti a bezpečnostní témata. Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina je jeho první knihou. Citace: Nový car je strhujícím a nesmírně podrobným životopisem Vladimira Putina, v němž Myers zevrubným, až shakespearovským způsobem vysvětluje, proč Putin jedná právě tak, jak jedná. - Robert D. Kaplan, geopolitický analytik Velmi působivý portrét děsivě mocného autokrata. - Kirkus Review Nový car Stevena Leeho Myerse není prvním Putinovým životopisem, ale do dnešního data je životopisem nejsolidnějším. Uvážlivým a komplexním způsobem odhaluje pravou tvář jednoho z nejuzavřenějších světových vůdců. - Daniel Treisman, The Washington Post Myers předkládá obraz člověka, který přechází od jedné krize ke druhé s jediným cílem: aby z něj vyzařovala síla. Zasvěcený a detailní životopis. - Gal Beckerman, The New York Times Book Review V životopise Vladimira Putina Steven Lee Myers geniálně kombinuje vyprávěcí umění, psychologickou sondu i politickou analýzu. - Nina Lvovna Chruščovová, americká politoložka, pravnučka Nikity Chruščova

Odhaluje nejhlubší podstatu toho, oč by měl usilovat každy´ tvůrce, umělec či profesionál.“ — Robert Vlach, autor knihy Na volné noze. Měli jste někdy v noci před spaním vizi člověka, kterým byste se mohli stát, práce, které byste mohli dosáhnout, díla, které byste chtěli vytvořit? Jste spisovatel, který nepíše, malíř, který nemaluje, nebo podnikatel, který nikdy nezaložil podnik? Potom znáte Odpor: temnou sílu, bránící kreativitě a úspěchu. Steven Pressfield vyhlásil Odporu válku a ve své přísné, strohé a zároveň zábavné knize vás naučí, jak tohoto nepřítele porazit a rozbít tak bloky, které dusí vaši tvořivost. Po poslechu Války umění o sobě mnohé pochopíte. Několik dní jí budete mít plnou hlavu, a pak možná změníte svůj život. Autorův odkaz na Umění války od Sun-c’ je naprosto na místě, neboť Pressfield považuje tvorbu a umění za boj tvůrce se sebou samy´m. Válka umění vyšla poprvé v roce 2002. Od té doby se dočkala překladů do mnoha světovy´ch jazyků a stále patří mezi nejprodávanější knihy o kreativitě. Inspirovala a stále inspiruje statisíce čtenářů z celého světa. Slovy autora: „ Většina z nás má dva životy. Ten, ktery´ žijeme, a potom nežity´ vnitřní život.” Není to škoda? Steven Pressfield (*1943) Steven Pressfield je romanopisec, scenárista i autor příruček o tvorbě a kreativitě. Narodil se na Trinidadu, po službě u americké námořní pěchoty vystudoval psychologii na Dukeově univerzitě a poté pracoval v mnoha pomocny´ch profesích. Trvalo mu dlouhy´ch 17 let, než byl schopen uživit se samotny´m psaním. A kdo jiny´ by měl o tvorbě psát než ten, kdo dokázal překonat tvůrčí bloky, nevzdal se a dosáhl úspěchu?

If anyone can save capitalism from the capitalists, it s Steven Pearlstein. This lucid, brilliant book refuses to abandon capitalism to those who believe morality and justice irrelevant to an economic system. -Ezra Klein, founder and editor-at-large, VoxPulitzer Prize-winning economics journalist Steven Pearlstein argues that our thirty year experiment in unfettered markets has undermined core values required to make capitalism and democracy work.With a New Introduction by the AuthorThirty years ago, greed is good and maximizing shareholder value became the new mantras woven into the fabric of our business culture, economy, and politics. Although, around the world, free market capitalism has lifted more than a billion people from poverty, in the United States most of the benefits of economic growth have been captured by the richest 10%, along with providing justification for squeezing workers, cheating customers, avoiding taxes, and leaving communities in the lurch. As a result, Americans are losing faith that a free market economy is the best system.In Moral Capitalism, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steven Pearlstein chronicles our descent and challenges the theories being taught in business schools and exercised in boardrooms around the country. We re missing a key tenet of Adam Smith s wealth of nations: without trust and social capital, democratic capitalism cannot survive. Further, equality of incomes and opportunity need not come at the expense of economic growth.Pearlstein lays out bold steps we can take as a country: a guaranteed minimum income paired with universal national service, tax incentives for companies to share profits with workers, ending class segregation in public education, and restoring competition to markets. He provides a path forward that will create the shared prosperity that will sustain capitalism over the long term.Previously published as Can American Capitalism Survive?

A fascinating and incisive examination of our language instinct from award-winning science writer Steven Mithen.Along with the concepts of consciousness and intelligence, our capacity for language sits right at the core of what makes us human. But while the evolutionary origins of language have provoked speculation and impassioned debate, music has been neglected if not ignored. Like language it is a universal feature of human culture, one that is a permanent fixture in our daily lives.In THE SINGING NEANDERTHALS, Steven Mithen redresses the balance, drawing on a huge range of sources, from neurological case studies through child psychology and the communication systems of non-human primates to the latest paleoarchaeological evidence.The result is a fascinating and provocative work and a succinct riposte to those, like Steven Pinker, who have dismissed music as a functionless and unimportant evolutionary byproduct.

I believe this book will change the conversation in schools on children s behaviour. - Dr Luna CentifantiA School Without Sanctions offers an innovative approach to behaviour management in schools, prioritising compassion and behaviour modification over punishment. Drawing on their award-winning methods, Steven Baker and Mick Simpson explain why challenging behaviour occurs and provide a toolbox of non-confrontational approaches that will benefit the whole school community.When Steven and Mick set out to transform their school s approach to behaviour, it changed everything. With the help of Dr Alice Jones Bartoli at Goldsmiths, they developed a sanction-free approach in their special school for boys with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties. Far from descending into anarchy, lessons began to improve and studentâ “staff relationships flourished. The school is now rated outstanding in all areas, and more importantly, student outcomes have been remarkable.Steven and Mick apply this experience, as well as their work in pupil referral units and young offender institutions, to explore their strategies for managing behaviour without the need for zero tolerance, discussing exclusions, trauma, motivation and engagement along the way. Rooted in neuroscience and evolutionary psychology, this book will revolutionise the way you think about behaviour management, help boost student mental health and academic achievement, and protect teacher wellbeing.

But Froelich has a talent for making himself at home wherever he is, amassing an impressive array of new friends in a short time ⠓ some of whom can even match his penchant for being in a near-constant buzz from industrial-quantity drugs and drink.As ever, the cock-a-hoop characters Steven ingratiates himself with become his surrogate dysfunctional family. But Tracey, Devonais, Ask Bobby!, Valentino and a pack of feral kids led by the gleefully destructive Molokai soon have Steven wondering whether or not his cheerfully transactional relationships are, in fact, binding him ever more tightly in a web of scams that threatens to leave him broke and stranded in this shabby paradise. Is his paranoia justifiable, or is that just the continuous cocaine use? His response is to agree to renting an SUV and embarking all together on a road trip along the coast, taking in shantytowns, fine hotels, beaches and, at a low ebb, jail. Why do ⠘mechanics⠙ keep appearing every time the truck mysteriously fails? Why are his credit cards failing just as frequently? Who⠙s zoomin⠙ who?Coarse, irresponsible and wilfully ignorant, Froelich is nevertheless observant and caring at heart ⠓ and Belize is about the ways in which chaotic, complex human beings find community, no matter where they⠙re from or where they⠙re headed.Features twelve full-colour illustrations by Froelich⠙s collaborator Oscar Zárate.

A rousing read - Irish Times A bright light of Francophone feminism - New York TimesRenowned journalist Mona Chollet recasts the witch as a powerful role model: an emblem of strength, free to exist beyond the narrow limits society imposes on women. Taking three archetypes from historic witch hunts - independent women, women who avoid having children and women who embrace ageing - Chollet examines how women today have the same charges levelled against them. She calls for justice in healthcare, challenging the gender imbalance in science and questioning why female bodies must still controlled by men.Rich with popular culture, literary references and media insights, In Defence of Witches is a vital addition to the cultural conversation around women, witches and the misogyny that has shaped the world they live in. With a foreword by Carmen Maria Machado and translated from French by Sophie R. Lewis.
