Aged twenty-five, dressed as Che Guevara, Nigel Planer answers an ad for a room and his life changes for ever.Both a memoir and a love story, Young Once follows his journey, from bell-ringer to gravedigger, from university dropout to long-term patient of the Hospital for Tropical Diseases and all the other bizarre events that shape him, until the day he meets Alexei Sayle, Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson in a former strip club and the 1980s Comedy Revolution is born . . . Often mistaken (even by his mother) for Neil, the hippy character he creates, by 1986 Nigel has become so well-known he often has to leave the house via the kitchen window. It s lucky that he has always had a talent for seeing the funny side of things: whether it s dealing with 20-foot-éclair-related injuries or being cajoled into Band Aid by Bob Geldof; gatecrashing a rave with Robin Williams or crashing into the set on Top of the Pops; becoming a grandfather at twenty-nine or being rescued from disaster by musical theatre.Against a backdrop of squats, Glastonbury and roller discos, with a supporting cast that includes Lemmy, a stony-faced Robert de Niro and French and Saunders, Young Once is a wildly entertaining and gloriously sideways glimpse into a remarkable life and career. It s also an object lesson in why you should never give up looking for your Happy Ever After. It might well turn out to be right in front of you.

Miso soup for breakfast, packing a suitcase for a trip and watching a butterfly settle on a carpet, hiding in plain sight. He gives short stories of feasts such as a mango eaten in monsoon rain or a dish of restorative macaroni cheese and homes in on the scent of freshly picked sweet peas and the sound of water breathing at night in Japan.This funny and sharply observed collection of the good bits of life, often things that pass many of us by, is utter joy from beginning to end.⠘I loved this. It is a secular book of hours ⠓ thoughts and pleasures beautifully cadenced and generously placed⠙ Edmund de Waal⠘Nigel Slater has a magical capacity to find beauty in the smallest moments. A nourishing, sustaining book⠙ Olivia Laing⠘His evocative, uplifting observations are a balm for life: a prose-poem for eaters and a spiritual companion for thoughtful cooks.

Kniha Dějiny pohanské Evropy je mimořádně čtivým přehledem pohanských náboženství ze všech částí Evropy, který se přitom vyznačuje vědeckým a historickým přístupem a zpracováním. Pohanství se v pojetí autorů neomezuje jen na klasické náboženství antiky, ani na protikřesťanské nebo humanistické pojetí lidského světa. Definují jej především jako polyteismus, který vidí v přírodě teofanii, projevení božství, jehož základní složkou je i Bohyně, ženský princip. To vysvětluje i rostoucí oblibu pohanství, které nyní čerpá impulsy ze zájmu o životní prostředí a ze snahy feminismu emancipovat ženy i v duchovní oblasti, dosud setrvávající z velké části v doméně mužů. Autoři ve svém zkoumání vycházejí z nejstarších písemných zpráv o minojské kultuře na Krétě a mykénské kultuře v Řecku. Přes klasické Řecko, záhadnou kulturu Etrusků a Řím, jejichž náboženství jsou poměrně známá, pak pokračují popisem méně známých božstev a rituálů Keltů a Germánů a velký prostor zde dostávají i donedávna málo známé či zcela opomíjené a sotva zdokumentované kmenové systémy Piktů, Finů a ostatních kmenů na severních okrajích kontinentu a Slovanů, včetně Rusů. Kniha se tak stává uceleným a vyváženým popisem původních evropských posvátných tradic, na jejichž existenci jsme už zapomněli a jež nezřídka opomíjejí i duchovně orientovaní lidé, kteří hledají inspiraci například ve východních náboženstvích. Poslední část knihy se zabývá novopohanstvím a jeho specifickými směry, jako jsou neodruidismus, wicca nebo ásatrú. „Tato kniha poskytuje rozsáhlý přehled o fascinujících aspektech evropských dějin ... nutnost pro každého, kdo se zajímá o dějiny idejí a náboženských systémů.“ – Miranda Green, Univerzita ve Walesu, Cardiff „Příručka a zásadní text k diskusi o pohanství, starověkém nebo moderním ...

Those who understand how AI thinks are about to win big.We are used to thinking of computers as being a step up from calculators - very good at storing information, and maybe even at playing a logical game like chess.But up to now they haven t been able to think in ways that are intuitive, or respond to questions as a human might. All that has changed, dramatically, in the past few years.Our search engines are becoming answer engines. Artificial intelligence is already revolutionising sectors from education to healthcare to the creative arts.But how does an AI understand sentiment or context? How does it play and win games that have an almost infinite number of moves? And how can we work with AI to produce insights and innovations that are beyond human capacity, from writing code in an instant to unfolding the elaborate 3D puzzles of proteins?We stand at the brink of a historic change that will disrupt society and at the same time create enormous opportunities for those who understand how AI thinks. Nigel Toon shows how we train AI to train itself, so that it can paint images that have never existed before or converse in any language. In doing so he reveals the strange and fascinating ways that humans think, too, as we learn how to live in a world shared by machine intelligences of our own creation.

⠘The best account in a single volume of Spain since 1898, exemplary for concision and for accuracy in the use of language, as well as for equanimity and generosity of spirit⠙ Felipe Fernández-Armesto, TLSA revelatory new history of Spain, from the late nineteenth century to the twenty-first Spain is different, proclaimed the Franco regime in the 1940s, keen to attract foreign tourists. For the most part, the world has agreed. From the end of its glorious empire in 1898 to the dazzling World Cup victory in 2010, the prevailing narrative of modern Spain has emphasized the country s peculiarity. Generations of historians and readers have been transfixed by its implosion into civil war in the 1930s, seduced by the valiant struggle of the republicans, horrified by the barbarity of the dictatorship which followed. Franco s Spain was seen as an anomaly in the midst of prosperous and permissive post-war Western Europe. But, as Nigel Townson shows in this richly layered and exciting new history, beyond the familiar image, there lies a radically different history of Spain: of a dynamic and progressive society that fits firmly into the narrative of modern Europe. Drawing on over forty years of post-Franco scholarship, The Penguin History of Modern Spain transforms our knowledge of Spain and its politics, society, economics and culture. It interweaves cutting-edge Spanish-led research - never before published in English - and testimonies of peasants, housewives, soldiers, workers, entrepreneurs, feminists and worker-priests, for an original and surprising portrait, which allows us, at last, to discern the country behind the veil of propaganda and romantic myths which still endure today

The Sunday Times BestsellerA new assessment of the Westâ ™s colonial recordIn the wake of the dissolution of the Soviet empire in 1989, many believed that we had arrived at the â ˜End of Historyâ ™ â “ that the global dominance of liberal democracy had been secured forever.Now however, with Russia rattling its sabre on the borders of Europe and China rising to challenge the post-1945 world order, the liberal West faces major threats.These threats are not only external. Especially in the Anglosphere, the â ˜decolonisationâ ™ movement corrodes the Westâ ™s self-confidence by retelling the history of European and American colonial dominance as a litany of racism, exploitation, and massively murderous violence.Nigel Biggar tests this indictment, addressing the crucial questions in eight chapters: Was the British Empire driven primarily by greed and the lust to dominate? Should we speak of â ˜colonialism and slaveryâ ™ in the same breath, as if they were identical? Was the Empire essentially racist? How far was it based on the theft of land? Did it involve genocide? Was it driven fundamentally by the motive of economic exploitation? Was undemocratic colonial government necessarily illegitimate? and, Was the Empire essentially violent, and its violence pervasively racist and terroristic?Biggar makes clear that, like any other long-standing state, the British Empire involved elements of injustice, sometimes appalling. On occasions it was culpably incompetent and presided over moments of dreadful tragedy.Nevertheless, from the early 1800s the Empire was committed to abolishing the slave trade in the name of a Christian conviction of the basic equality of all human beings. It ended endemic inter-tribal warfare, opened local economies to the opportunities of global trade, moderated the impact of inescapable modernisation, established the rule of law and liberal institutions such as a free press, and spent itself in defeating the murderously racist Nazi and Japanese empires in the Second World War.As encyclopaedic in historical breadth as it is penetrating in analytical depth, Colonialism offers a moral inquest into the colonial past, forensically contesting damaging falsehoods and thereby helping to rejuvenate faith in the Westâ ™s future.

Philosophy begins with the nature of reality and how we should live. These were the concerns of Socrates, who spent his days in the ancient Athenian marketplace asking awkward questions, disconcerting the people he met by showing them just how little they genuinely understood. This engaging Little History introduces the great thinkers in Western philosophy and explores their most compelling ideas about the universe and our place in it. Nigel Warburton guides us on a tour of the lives and work of thought-provoking philosophers – from the certainty of Descartes (‘I think, therefore I am’) to Hannah Arendt who examined crimes against humanity and taught us ‘the banality of evil’.

A new approach to the challenges surrounding artificial intelligence that argues for assessing AI actions as if they came from a human being  ⠜Elegant and erudite.⠝⠔John Thornhill, Financial Times  Intelligent machines present us every day with urgent ethical challenges. Is the facial recognition software used by an agency fair? When algorithms determine questions of justice, finance, health, and defense, are the decisions proportionate, equitable, transparent, and accountable? How do we harness this extraordinary technology to empower rather than oppress?  Despite increasingly sophisticated programming, artificial intelligences share none of our essential human characteristics⠔sentience, physical sensation, emotional responsiveness, versatile general intelligence. However, Nigel Shadbolt and Roger Hampson argue, if we assess AI decisions, products, and calls for action as if they came from a human being, we can avert a disastrous and amoral future. The authors go beyond the headlines about rampant robots to apply established moral principles in shaping our AI future. Their new framework constitutes a how-to for building a more ethical machine intelligence.

Telling the story of their lives from children to modern day, this fascinating and revelatory new book will look at the fraught relationship (and fiery rivalry) between King Charles and Prince Andrew.Raised for vastly different futures, one burdened with the responsibility of becoming the future king and the other destined to live in his shadow, Charles and Andrew have spent their lives on different sides of the same coin.War of the Windsors tells, for the first time, the complete story of Charles and Andrew from their diverging childhoods to their current struggles. It looks at the distinct but overlapping stories of the two heirs, from being separated in their early years and the Queen s supposed overindulgence of Andrew to the competition for Lady Diana and finally, Charles ascension to throne while his brother is stripped of Royal duties. And it explores whether, with the scandals around Andrew still fresh in public memory, Charles will ever let his brother back into the family.With extensive research and expert sourcing, War of the Windsors is the incredible inside story of a family in turmoil. Recounting the highs and lows of a brotherhood then turned into a rivalry, royal author and journalist Nigel Cawthorne looks at the makings of a decades long feud and questions whether, ultimately, the brothers will one day band together again.
