Proslulý tvůrce obrázkových knih Jon Klassen získal za svůj suchý úsporný humor v knihách pro děti řadu ocenění od dospělých. V této absurdní meditaci o přátelství, osudu, futuristických vizích a divném pocitu, v pěti kapitolkách složených výhradně z dialogů, seznamuje čtenáře s želvou, pásovcem a hadem – v kloboucích a s jednoznačnými charaktery. Želvák stojí na oblíbeném místě. Líbí se mu tam tak moc, že vyzve pásovce, aby si tam přišel stoupnout také. Ale najednou má z toho špatný pocit... Tak začíná názorné zkoumání osudovosti, proložené jen malou hrozivou ochutnávkou jiného světa, v němž děti vtipnost „tvoří“ samy a jsou při čtení vždy o krok před hlavními hrdiny. Téměř nic se neděje, a přesto se děje všechno. Chytrý, černohumorný a netradiční příběh v autorově typické tlumené barevné paletě snoubí vizuální napětí s břitkým humorem a existenciální bláznivostí a je dalším z jeho minimalistických skvostů. Něco tu nehraje, ale vy to nedokážete pojmenovat? Jon Klassen to nakreslil.

Over the past decade, Jon Alexander’s consultancy, the New Citizenship Project, has helped revitalise some of Britain’s biggest organisations including the Co-op, the Guardian and the National Trust. Here, with the New York Timesbestselling writer Ariane Conrad, he shows how history is about to enter the age of the Citizen. Because when our institutions treat people as creative, empowered creatures rather than consumers, everything changes. Unleashing the power of everyone equips us to face the challenges of economic insecurity, climate crisis, public health threats, and polarisation. Citizens is an upbeat handbook, full of insights, clear examples to follow, and inspiring case studies, from the slums of Kenya to the backstreets of Birmingham – and a foreword by Brian Eno. It is the perfect pick-me-up for leaders, founders, elected officials – and citizens everywhere. An ideal companion to the groundbreaking books Doughnut Economics and Radical Help. Organise and seize the future! Reviews ''Every great transformation requires a new story. A story that reveals new possibilities and points toward an optimistic alternative to the current situation. Citizens presents just such a story.'' – Tim Brown, Chair of IDEO and author of Change By Design ''The shift from consumer to citizen is a truly big idea. If you’re in a position of strategic influence, I strongly recommend you engage with this and consciously explore what it might mean for your organisation.'' – Dame Fiona Reynolds DBE, Former Director General, National Trust, and Trustee, BBC ''The belief that every single one of us has both the potential and the desire to make the world better drives me every day, in everything I do.

Driven by a deep need to understand the impact on society of 3,000 commercial messages a day, he gathered three Masters degrees, exploring consumerism and its alternatives from every angle. In 2014, he co-founded the New Citizenship Project to bring the resulting ideas into contact with reality. In Citizens, he is ready to share them with the world.

Brian Eno sets out the value of Citizens in framing a new, optimistic cooperative story for our age, as opposed to the two other options: authoritarian states such as China and "Siliconia" - "a Consumer state with centralised power and deep surveillance". Mentions Citizen Story 1. Opening. Jon Alexander sets out the need to ''step into'' the Citizen Story so that we can deal with the many challenges of our age: economic insecurity, ecological emergency, public health threats, political polarisation, and more.

How humans are bound together through interdependence and reciprocity, and in turn have a deep bond with nature, which conventional big business cannot understand.

Central to the Citizen Story is a belief in ourselves and in human nature as creative, capable, and caring, rather than lazy, self-interested, and competitive within a zero-sum framework.

Začněte praktikovat mindfulness a zlepšete své zdraví, soustředění i radost z každého dne, zatímco snížíte hladinu stresu. Tím nejpovolanějším průvodcem vám bude profesor Jon Kabat-Zinn, zakladatel moderního programu všímavosti.Mindfulness, neboli meditace všímavosti, je duševní trénink zaměřený na prožívání přítomného okamžiku. Její blahodárné účinky na zdraví a psychickou pohodu jsou vědecky prokázané. Praktikují ji známé osobnosti jako Al Gore, Clint Eastwood, Oprah Winfreyová nebo ragbista Jonny Wilkinson. O mindfulness píší světová média (Time, Scientific American, Newsweek), firmy jako Google či Twitter svým zaměstnancům hradí kurzy a stovky nemocnic po celém světě zavádějí léčebné programy založené na jejích principech.Kabat-Zinn, který v roce 1979 založil na Massachusettské univerzitě Kliniku snižování stresu, stojí u zrodu programu MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction). Ten kombinuje prvky buddhistické meditace a jógy a využívá se dnes v více než 720 zdravotnických zařízeních po celém světě. Díky němu se mindfulness dostala do hlavního proudu medicíny i k široké veřejnosti.Kniha Život samá pohroma je Kabat-Zinnovým klíčovým dílem. Poprvé vyšla před více než 25 lety, v roce 2013 byla zásadně přepracována a doplněna o nejnovější vědecké poznatky i zkušenosti z praxe. Dodnes patří k základním pramenům pro všechny, kdo chtějí mindfulness poznat a začít praktikovat.V knize se dozvíte: jak naslouchat svému tělu a lépe zvládat potíže jako chronickou bolest, úzkost či nespavost, jak pracovat se stresem z práce, vztahů nebo životních rolí, co ví věda o propojení duševního a fyzického zdraví a jak posílit imunitu, ucelený a srozumitelný návod, jak i doma projít osvědčeným meditačním kurzem MBSR, praktické tipy, jak vnést všímavost do každodenního života. Knihu doprovází audio nahrávka českého lektora Jaroslava Chýleho, která vám usnadní začátky meditační praxe.Jon Kabat-Zinn (*1944) je emeritním profesorem medicíny na Massachusettské univerzitě. Je autorem osmi knih přeložených do 30 jazyků a vedl výcvik mnoha byznysmenů, olympioniků i osobností veřejného života. Je považován za klíčovou postavu hnutí mindfulness, které dnes patří mezi významné součásti západní medicíny i moderního životního stylu.

Kniha je společným dílem tří špičkových profesionálních hráčů pokerových multi-table turnajů na internetu, kteří mají odehrány desítky tisíc turnajů a na svém kontě více než 1 800 finálových stolů a stovky velkých výher. Pojďme si je nyní představit: Eric "Rizen" Lynch patří již léta mezi naprostou špičku turnajového pokeru. Přestože se věnuje především hře na internetu, má za sebou i celou řadu velkých úspěchů v živém pokeru a celkově si na své konto v živých turnajích připsal bezmála 1 000 000$. Ještě úspěšnější je Eric na internetu, kde má na svém kontě více než 50 vítězství a celkové výhry přes 1 500 000$. Jon "PearlJammer" Turner je hráč, kterého také není třeba pokerové veřejnosti příliš představovat. Američan - který nyní sídlí a hraje online poker z Mexika - za svou kariéru potrefoval na internetu více než 200 turnajů a jeho celkové výhry dosahují závratných šesti milionů dolarů. Přestože se také specializuje především na online multi-table pokerové turnaje, nevyhýbá se ani živé hře. I tam je velice úspěšný a za svou kariéru si prozatím v živých turnajích připsal více než jeden milion dolarů. Jon "Apestyles" Van Fleet je dalším z trojice mladých úspěšných profesionálních hráčů. Jeho výhry v online pokerových turnajích, kde zaznamenal více než 130 vítězství, již přesáhli hranici 5 000 000$. Autorskou trojici doplňuje jako spoluautor majitel vydavatelství Dimat Enterprises, Inc., provozovatel pokerových webových stránek a autor řady pokerových knih Matthew Hilger. I ten se zhruba před deseti lety věnoval pokeru na plný úvazek jako profesionál a na svém kontě má několik větších úspěchů. Postupně se však začal více a více věnovat dalším aktivitám souvisejících s pokerem a své hraní pokeru omezoval. Na co se v knize mohou čtenáři těšit? Kniha "Poker - tajemství hry na internetu" je napsána v unikátním formátu. Na čtenáře čeká celkem 50 pokerových hand pocházejících ze skutečně odehraných turnajů. Autoři knihy komentují průběh každé odehrané handy od samotného počátku před flopem až do jejího konce, analyzují jednotlivá rozhodnutí a navrhují nejlepší možná zahrání. U každé handy si tak čtenáři mohou přečíst, jak by se v dané situaci zachovali hned tři špičkoví turnajoví profesionálové! Díky tomu mají čtenáři jedinečnou příležitost takříkajíc z první ruky sledovat, jaké faktory při rozhodování zvažují v obtížných situacích ti nejlepší pokeroví hráči. Již po přečtení prvních několika hand je zřejmé, že tajemství úspěšné hry spočívá především v důkladné analýze situace u stolu. Kniha čtenáře naučí, jak správně uvažovat v klíčových situacích, kde záleží nejen na relativní síle kombinace, ale především také na pozici jednotlivých hráčů a velikost jejich stacků. Kromě toho je nutné brát v úvahu také skoky ve výplatní struktuře, které v pozdních fázích turnajů bývají obvykle již značné.

From Jon Ronson, the Sunday Times top ten bestselling author of The Psychopath Test, this is a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world''s most underappreciated forces: shame.''It''s about the terror, isn''t it?''''The terror of what?'' I said.''The terror of being found out.''Jon Ronson has travelled the world meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us – people who, say, made a joke on social media that came out badly, or made a mistake at work. Once their transgression is revealed, collective outrage circles with the force of a hurricane and the next thing they know they''re being torn apart by an angry mob, jeered at, demonized, sometimes even fired from their job.A great renaissance of public shaming is sweeping our land. Justice has been democratized. The silent majority are getting a voice. But what are we doing with our voice? We are mercilessly finding people''s faults. We are defining the boundaries of normality by ruining the lives of those outside it. We are using shame as a form of social control.Simultaneously powerful and hilarious in the way only Jon Ronson can be, So You''ve Been Publicly Shamed is a deeply honest book about modern life, full of eye-opening truths about the escalating war on human flaws – and the very scary part we all play in it.

Little do the two friends know that after surviving hundreds of dives and developing the closest of bonds, forces outside their control will push their friendship to the breaking point.This beautiful, thoughtful novel illuminates a world turned upside down, one where the women are in charge, engaging in dangerous physical work, and the men take care of the children.

As the sun sets on a cold November evening, the tiny community of St Agnes prepares for their annual Fifth-of-November festivities. Moments before the fireworks are scheduled to commence, an islander discovers a charred body left on the bonfire, and quickly it becomes clear that a killer is at large. Ben Kitto is the Deputy Chief of Police for the Scilly Isles, and with a killer on the loose, he has no choice but to forbid all residents from leaving the island. With a population of just eighty people, everyone is a suspect and no one is safe. When threats start appearing, written in the old Cornish language, Ben suspects that the killer’s motive is to rid the island of the newcomers who threaten their traditions. With time running out, Ben hurries to discover the secrets of the island’s peculiar residents, but he knows it’s only a matter of time before another fire is started . . . No place to run.No place to hide. PRAISE FOR KATE RHODES: ‘In Burnt Island, Kate Rhodes' portrayals of island life are vivid; her landscapes deftly sketched. A tense thriller with pitch-perfect pace – I devoured it!’ ISABEL ASHDOWN ‘Gripping, clever and impossible to put down. I’ve been a Kate Rhodes fan for years and in Ben Kitto she has created a detective who is just as complex and compelling as Kate’s elegant plotting and stunning prose. The claustrophobia and paranoia of the island are so brilliant evoked, I could almost feel the tide encroaching as time ran out to find the killer' ERIN KELLY ‘Absorbing and complex, Hell Bay kept me guessing until the final pages’ RACHEL ABBOTT 'A vividly realised protagonist whose complex and harrowing history rivals the central crime storyline' SOPHIE HANNAH 'Beautifully written and expertly plotted; this is a masterclass' GUARDIAN 'Expertly weaves a sense of place and character into a tense and intriguing story' METRO 'Rhodes does a superb job of balancing a portrayal of a tiny community oppressed by secrets with an uplifting evocation of setting' Jake Kerridge, SUNDAY EXPRESS ‘The whole book tingles with tension. I hope it does for the Scilly Isles what Ann Cleeves did for Shetland' MEL MCGRATH 'I love reading Kate's books in the way I love reading Sophie Hannah – a poet writing crime fiction is a great thing . . . It is at once a locked-room mystery, a story of the returning hero, and an examination of fear and abuse. It has the air of a twenty-first century Agatha Christie' JULIA CROUCH

''The true and fascinating story of Easter Island and its amazing statues'' KEN FOLLETTWhere did they come from? How did they get there? Why did they carve the island’s colossal iconic statues – and how? What happened to the civilisation they created?These are just a few of the questions about Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, that have puzzled generations.Europeans first encountered the Islanders in the early eighteenth century, bringing back astonishing tales from one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. They told fantastic stories of lost continents, cannibalism, giants and aliens. Thor Heyerdahl claimed that the island was discovered by pale-skinned sailors from South America, ignoring the rightful claims of the greatest explorers the world has ever known. Recently, the idea that Islanders cut down all the trees, causing mass starvation and social collapse, has been espoused by scientists, broadcasters and politicians. Now, in archaeologist Mike Pitts’s superb investigation, Island at the Edge of the World, he provides authoritative new insights into what really happened.Using the latest scientific and archaeological research, plus a huge range of historical accounts, Pitts builds a fascinating new portrait of the Islanders’ story. In particular, Pitts revives the life work of Katherine Routledge, who spent sixteen months on the island in 1914-15, surviving revolution and war, assembling a priceless but largely ignored archive of excavations and interviews - and whose legacy reveals the rapacious interference that spawned generations of false histories. Many questions still remain, but this is the most compelling and comprehensive account yet published of the extraordinary story of Easter Island.
