The Stars are Fire
'Long before Liane Moriarty was spinning her Big Little Lies, Shreve was spicing up domestic doings..She still is, as effectively as ever, this time with a narrative literally lit from within' New York Times
The brilliantly gripping new novel from the New York Times best-selling author of The Pilot's Wife (an Oprah's Book Club selection).
Hot breath on Grace's face. Claire is screaming, and Grace is on her feet. As she lifts her daughter, a wall of fire fills the window. Perhaps a quarter of a mile back, if even that. Where's Gene? Didn't he come home?
1947. Fires are racing along the coast of Maine after a summer-long drought, ravaging thousands of acres, causing unprecedented confusion and fear.
Five months pregnant, Grace Holland is left alone to protect her two toddlers when her difficult and unpredictable husband Gene joins the volunteers fighting to bring the fire under control. Along with her best friend, Rosie, and Rosie's two young children, the women watch in horror as their houses go up in flames, then walk into the ocean as a last resort. They spend the night frantically trying to save their children. When dawn comes, they have miraculously survived, but their lives are forever changed: homeless, penniless, and left to face an uncertain future.
As Grace awaits news of her husband's fate, she is thrust into a new world in which she must make a life on her own, beginning with absolutely nothing; she must find work, a home, a way to provide for her children. In the midst of devastating loss, Grace discovers glorious new freedoms - joys and triumphs she could never have expected her narrow life with Gene could contain - and her spirit soars. And then the unthinkable happens, and Grace's bravery is tested as never before.

On Fire: The Burning Case for a Green New Deal
For more than twenty years Naomi Klein's books have defined our era, chronicling the exploitation of people and the planet and demanding justice. On Fire gathers for the first time more than a decade of her impassioned writing from the frontline of climate breakdown, and pairs it with new material on the staggeringly high stakes of what we choose to do next.
Here is Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of 'perpetual now,' to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of 'climate barbarism,' this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink.
With dispatches from the ghostly Great Barrier Reef, the smoke-choked skies of the Pacific Northwest, post-hurricane Puerto Rico and a Vatican attempting an unprecedented 'ecological conversion,' Klein makes the case that we will rise to the existential challenge of climate change only if we are willing to transform the systems that produced this crisis.
This is the fight for our lives. On Fire captures the burning urgency of the climate crisis, as well as the energy of a rising political movement demanding change now.

Úvod do meditace - Einführung in die Meditation
Účel knihy
»Úvod do meditace« člověku umožňuje, aby si osvojil meditaci v rámci samostudia. Člověk tedy nepotřebuje navštěvovat »guruy« či »jogíny«, kteří by mu za drahé peníze namlouvali, že mu dokážou přinést »spásu«, ačkoliv by v něm pouze vzbuzovali závislost, využívali jej, otravovali jeho myšlení a zotročovali jeho vědomí.
Studium meditace je ovšem velmi tvrdé a vyžaduje velké nasazení, vůli se učit a schopnost vytrvat, chce-li člověk dospět k tomu, aby požíval nepředstižných darů vědomí. Rychlokurzy nebo intenzivní kurzy, jež jsou všude nabízeny pro netrpělivce, mohou sice působit lákavě, ale jsou také nanejvýš klamné a nebezpečné, a především: nepřináší žádný efekt.
Pozemštěné nejsou uvyklí myslet a jednat na základě Tvořivých zákonů, a proto pro ně není snadné se přeorientovat na trpělivost a klid, jež od nich vyžaduje meditace. Ve škole a v povolání se od člověka stále vyžaduje materiálně-intelektuální úsilí (ctižádostivost, zvídavost atd.) a věřícný přístup k cizím poznatkům a vědomostem.
Náboženství postavila lidi pod nadvládu imaginárního Boha a uzmula jim tak jejich sebevládu. Také světské, lidské struktury moci, jako je stát, ekonomika a věda, se starají o to, aby lidé zůstali nevědoucí a manipulovatelní. Lidé proto již nevědí, jaká moc skutečně dřímá v jejich nitru, a tak hledají náhražku v čistě materiálním výkonu, v jehož důsledku zatracují své vědomí k nečinnosti. Mnozí lidé však přesto ve svém nitru možná tuší, že mnohé věci, na nichž se spolupodíleli, nemohou být správné.
Lidé, a především jejich vědomí, chtějí žít jinak, totiž v souladu s Tvořením.
Mnozí lidé věří tomu – nečinně čekajíce na blesk z čistého nebe –, že ke správnému způsobu života a správnému smýšlení dospějí tím, že budou sedět na kraji cesty.
Lidé nepotřebují vybočovat z cesty, neboť mohou ve svém vlastním navyklém prostředí začít s tím, aby mysleli a jednali na základě Tvořivých zákonů. Nesmějí a nemohou však již otálet s tím, aby se po několik málo vteřin skutečně soustředili na své nitro, pokud je pro ně zatím obtížné, aby se od své niterní podstaty např. dozvěděli přesný čas, místo aby se podívali na hodinky. Pokud však lidé tuto schopnost soustředění jednou ovládnou, pak jim bude sloužit i tam, kde by se svým obvyklým, materiálním způsobem myšlení museli ujít celé kilometry k předmětu, na nějž chtějí nahlédnout, načež by o něm přesto ještě s absolutní jistotou nemohli říci: JE TO TAK.
Člověk by se měl zamyslet nad tím, že Tvoření není nikdy nečinné. I ono naplňuje bez přerušení zákony a doporučení, jež samo stvořilo, aby zabezpečilo existenci všech svých tvorů. Člověk je jedním z tvorů Tvoření a měl by jednat stejně jako ono.
Meditace neslouží jednoduše k uvolnění – kvůli čemuž ji doporučují i lékaři –, nikoliv, meditace slouží především k sebedisciplíně člověka, ke školení jeho vědomí, k poznání a k tomu, aby se dopracoval niterního míru a vyrovnanosti a aby vůbec zvládl svůj život.
Bude-li člověk tuto knihu podrobně a pozorně studovat a bude-li jednat na základě objasňovaných vědomostí, tak se mu dostane souvisejících a mnoha jiných poznatků.

Fire Eaters
There he was, below the bridge, half-naked, eyes blazing. He had a pair of burning torches. He ran them back and forth across his skin.

He glared. He roared like an animal. That summer, life had seemed perfect for Bobby Burns. But now it's autumn and the winds of change are blowing hard. Bobby's dad is mysteriously ill. His new school is a cold and cruel place. And worse: nuclear war may be about to start. But Bobby has a wonder-working friend called Ailsa Spink.

James Baldwin. Steve Schapiro. The Fire Next Time
irst published in 1963, James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time stabbed at the heart of America's so-called "Negro problem." As remarkable for its masterful prose as for its frank and personal account of the black experience in the United States, it is considered one of the most passionate and influential explorations of 1960s race relations, weaving thematic threads of love, faith, and family into a candid assault on the hypocrisy of the "land of the free."
Now, James Baldwin's rich, raw, and ever relevant prose is reprinted with more than 100 photographs from Steve Schapiro, who traveled the American South with Baldwin for Life magazine. The encounter thrust Schapiro into the thick of the movement, allowing for vital, often iconic, images both of civil rights leaders-including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Fred Shuttlesworth, and Jerome Smith-and such landmark events as the March on Washington and the Selma march.
Rounding out the edition are Schapiro's stories from the field, an original introduction by civil rights legend and U.S. Congressman John Lewis, captions by Marcia Davis of The Marshall Project, and an essay by Gloria Baldwin Karefa-Smart, who was with her brother James in Sierra Leone when he started to work on the story. The result is a remarkable visual and textual record of one of the most important and enduring struggles of the American experience.First published as a TASCHEN Collector's Edition, now available in a popular edition.
