Pandemie COVID-19 může být odrazovým můstkem pro rychlé změny potřebné k řešení klimatické krize. Autoři předkládají přesvědčivé argumenty, proč musíme jednat ihned a od základů změnit všechny systémy, které jsou pilíři dnešní civilizace a ekonomiky. Vlády musí jednat okamžitě, dřív než budou následky jejich nedbalosti a nekompetence zdrcující. Lidstvo má velmi málo času na zavedení nezbytných radikálních změn. - Bernice Maxton-Lee, spoluautorka, přednáší o změně klimatu a odlesňování Tuto změnu musí vést mladí lidé, kteří dosud nejsou infikováni ekonomickým virem zabíjejícím planetu. Je čas, aby nové politické vedení vybudovalo pro lidstvo méně sobeckou budoucnost. - Graeme Maxton, spoluautor, řádný člen Římského klubu Tato kniha je odvážná, dramatická a vizionářská. Zcela brilantně vysvětluje řadu krizí, kterým v současnosti lidstvo čelí, a představuje pandemii COVID-19 v jiném světle - jako jedinečnou příležitost k vybudování lepší budoucnosti. Doufám, že lidstvo tento těžký úkol zvládne. - Jorgen Randers, emeritní profesor klimatických strategií, BI Norwegian Business School, Oslo Kniha i pro ty, kteří ještě stále nedospěli k elementárnímu člověčenství - nést odpovědnost za vlastní skutky.

„Na prvý pohľad hlavný problém zmeny klímy predstavujú skleníkové plyny. Sú však len symptómom. V jadre klimatickej krízy je sociálny problém... Klimatická zmena sa dá korigovať iba ak zmeníme naše správanie.“ Z tejto pozície analyzuje autor Graeme Maxton, ešte nedávno generálny tajomník Rímskeho klubu, systémové príčiny krízy našej civilizácie, aby sa tak dostal k systémovým riešeniam. Ide teda o viac ako len redukciu uhlíka v atmosfére. Za ničením planetárneho ekosystému musíme vidieť dominantný systém kultúry, ktorý podporuje a priam núti ľudí do organizovaného drancovania prírody. Takéto nastavenie nedokážu zmeniť individuálne akcie, ani apelovanie na uvedomelosť ľudí. Navyše, rozpad ekosystémov a narušenie klímy sú už v takom stupni, že pomôže len okamžitá, skutočne účinná záchranná akcia. Jej nevyhnutnou podmienkou je radikálna zmena ekonomického a politického systému v globálnom rozsahu. „Ako sme sa dostali do tejto situácie, aké dôsledky môžeme očakávať a čo by sme mali ako jednotlivci a spoločnosť urobiť – práve o tom je táto kniha.“

Pandémia COVID-19 môže byť odrazovým mostíkom pre rýchle zmeny potrebné na riešenie klimatickej krízy.

V rokoch 2007 a 2008 svet zažíval finančný a ekonomický kolaps. Táto kniha odhaľuje jeho príčiny vrátane čoraz väčšej globálnej ekonomickej nerovnováhy, rozmach vo využívaní nových finančných nástrojov, nesprávneho riadenia rizík i úloh, ktoré pri kolapse zohrali bývanie a zadlžovanie. Odkrýva dôkazy o tom, že keď ku kolapsu došlo, nebolo vo svete všetko v poriadku a že mnohí politici a finanční lídri hroziace nebezpečenstvá ignorovali. Autor, uznávaný odborník v oblasti ekonómie na fakulte Oriel College Oxfordskej univerzity, popisuje kľúčové udalosti kolapsu a vysvetľuje hlavné mechanizmy, ktoré prispeli k jeho urýchleniu. Záchranné nástroje zo strany bánk podrobuje bližšiemu ekonomickému rozboru, pričom osobitnú pozornosť venuje skrytým spôsobom ich fungovania a objasňuje, kto v skutočnosti znáša príslušné náklady a v akej miere dochádza k vzniku nových rizík. Hodnovernosť argumentov uvedených v knihe sa zvyšuje aj vďaka tomu, že autorovi sa podarilo identifikovať kľúčové faktory kolapsu a upriamiť na ne pozornosť verejnosti ešte pred jeho vypuknutím.

„Dokumentární“ thriller nominovaný na Man Booker Prize a přeložený do více než dvanácti jazyků se tváří jako soubor „nalezených“ listin pojednávajících o vyvraždění jedné rodiny na skotském venkově v roce 1869 a následném soudu, který zkoumá, zda byl pachatel při spáchání činu příčetný, anebo se propadl do šílenství. Napínavé líčení je navíc vynikajícím pokusem rozlišit tyto dva stavy lidské mysli a také historickým esejem o tom, jak se v kriminalistice začaly uplatňovat poznatky psychiatrie a psychologie zločinu, doplněným o humorné přiblížení tehdy módní pseudoteorie degeneracionismu a dědičnosti zločinné povahy. Graeme Macrae Burnet (1967) je skotský prozaik žijící v Glasgow; nějakou dobu pobýval i v Česku. Upozornil na sebe výraznou prvotinou, mystifikační detektivkou Zmizení Adele Bedeauové (česky Argo 2018).

Between visits to the town’s hostelries, Chief Inspector Georges Gorski ponders the connections, if any, between these events, while all the time grappling with his own domestic and existential demons. Graeme Macrae Burnet once again pierces the respectable bourgeois façade of small-town life in this, the concluding part of his trilogy of Gorski novels. He injects a wry humour into the tiniest of details and delves into the darkest recesses of his characters’ minds, but above all provides an entertaining, profound and moving read.Â

''A Case of Matricide demonstrates literary talent of the highest order … few writers can rival Burnet.’ The SpectatorChief Inspector Gorski returns … In the unremarkable French town of Saint-Louis, a mysterious stranger stalks the streets; an elderly woman believes her son is planning to do away with her; a prominent manufacturer drops dead. Between visits to the town’s hostelries, Chief Inspector Georges Gorski ponders the connections, if any, between these events, while all the time grappling with his own domestic and existential demons. Graeme Macrae Burnet once again pierces the respectable bourgeois façade of small-town life in this, the concluding part of his trilogy of Gorski novels. He injects a wry humour into the tiniest of details and delves into the darkest recesses of his characters’ minds, but above all provides an entertaining, profound and moving read.Â

Further Facets of Wuthering Heights is a follow-up to Facets of Wuthering Heights (Matador, 2018). The book consists of nineteen of Graeme Tytler’s essays, originally published in the journal Brontë Studies over the years. Each of the essays is a critical discussion of one particular aspect of Emily Brontë''s masterpiece, based on a close reading of the text. This second collection continues to draw attention to Emily''s remarkable versatility as a novelist by pointing up again the skill with which she has constructed the plot, the inventiveness with which she has created an astonishing variety of complex characters, and the brilliance with which she has made structural use of her central themes. And although Wuthering Heights is famous above all for its extraordinary love story, these essays explore deeper meanings and shades of the plot, characters and even props, to open the eyes of the reader who will perhaps experience a new, surprising enjoyment of the novel.

The mixed-race child of a Catholic teenager and a Guyanese stowaway, Lynott rose above daunting obstacles and wounding abandonments to become Ireland''s first rock star. Cowboy Song examines his key musical alliances as well as the unique blend of cultural influences which informed Lynott''s writing, connecting Ireland''s rich reserves of music, myth and poetry to hard rock, progressive folk, punk, soul and New Wave.Published on the thirtieth anniversary of Lynott''s death in January 1986, Thomson draws on scores of exclusive interviews with family, friends, band mates and collaborators. Cowboy Song is both the ultimate depiction of a multi-faceted rock icon, and an intimate portrait of a much-loved father, son and husband.

Glasgow Harbour, the port and shipbuilding centre along the River Clyde from Glasgow Green to the River Kelvin and beyond to Clydebank, became the greatest seaport in Scotland and one of the largest in Britain. Through a mixture of striking illustrations, this book recounts the early history, development, pioneering inventions and importance nationally and internationally of Glasgow Harbour, as well as its regeneration today. From the seventeenth century Glasgow became one of the major hubs of trade across the Atlantic and to the rest of the world. In the eighteenth century Glasgow adopted new methods to deepen and engineer the River Clyde to make it more useful and the largest and most advanced docks were to be built, with some 12 miles of busy quayside lining the river. By the nineteenth century Glasgow was also the world-leading shipbuilding centre, including such famous names as Fairfield, John Brown, Beardmore, Barclay Curle, Stephen and Connell. Later Yarrow and Harland & Wolff joined the ranks of shipbuilders, and at its peak over seventy shipping lines operated from the city. Although heavy industry in Glasgow Harbour has shrunk, today much of the waterfront is being regenerated.Graeme Smith and Mike McCreery tell the fascinating story ...

Archibald Menzies (1754–1842) is recognized as an accomplished botanist but, as author Graeme Menzies has discovered, that is only a part of his story. In this compelling new biography, the author reveals that Archibald Menzies was a remarkable product of the Scottish Enlightenment: a boy raised in the shadows of ancient Neolithic standing stones who was sponsored by his clan chief to study in Edinburgh and through talent, curiosity, perseverance, and circumstance became one of the top medical doctors and social raconteurs of Victorian London.  Along the way readers learn of Archibald’s experience as a Royal Navy surgeon in the epic Caribbean Battle of The Saintes, his encounters with the Indigenous people of Pacific Northwest Coast and the islands of Hawaii, his near court-martial by Captain Vancouver, his life-threatening and little-known experiments in the nascent field of virology, and his post-navy life in London. The result of this work is not just a full accounting of the subject’s career but a work which also provides insights into his character and personality. His attitude toward issues such as slavery, human rights, religion, and the opportunities and dangers of European contact with Indigenous peoples are explored and show a man of ...

Americký katolický novinář Philip Lawler se v této knize ptá po příčinách zmíněné krize, sleduje její průběh a hledá cestu k jejímu řešení. Vyhýbá se laciné apologetice i laciné kritice: nelíčí to, co je v Církvi nemocné, jako zdravé, a zároveň nechce ničit, ale pomáhat Nevěstě Kristově k uzdravení.
