Everybody Needs Beauty
'This book represents, genuinely, a moment of ground-breaking importance for how we think about nature, access and wellbeing in late capitalism' Dr Alice Tarbuck
'Impeccably researched . . . A call to us all to find a place within the simplicity and complexity of nature' Lara Maiklem, bestselling author of Mudlarking
Everybody is talking about the healing properties of nature. Hospitals are being retrofitted with gardens, and forests reimagined as wellbeing centres. On the Shetland Islands, it is possible to walk into a doctor's surgery with anxiety or depression, and walk out with a prescription for nature.
Where has this come from, and what does 'going to nature' mean? Where is it - at the end of a garden, beyond the tarmac fringes of a city, at the summit of a mountain? Drawing on history, science, literature and art, Samantha Walton shows that the nature cure has deep roots - but, as we face an unprecedented crisis of mental health, social injustice and environmental devastation, the search for it is more urgent now than ever.
Everybody Needs Beauty engages seriously with the connection between nature and health, while scrutinising the harmful trends of a wellness industry that seeks to exploit our relationship with the natural world. In doing so, this book explores how the nature cure might lead us towards a more just and radical way of life: a real means of recovery, for people, society and nature.
What Beauty There Is
A searingly powerful and unputdownable thriller that is The Road meets Winter's Bone. HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO PROTECT THOSE YOU LOVE?
Life can be brutal. Jack knew it. So did I. When jack and I met, did I sense the coming tornado? I think I did, and there was no stopping it. For seventeen years, Ava's father has stolen her freedom; silencing her voice and teaching her to love no one. Trust no one. On the other side of town, life's taken everything from Jack. And now it's coming for his little brother. Alone in the harsh Idaho Winter, their only chance to escape is finding the drug money that destroyed their family.
When Ava realizes her father is on Jack's trail, their two worlds collide and Ava is faced with a choice: remail silent or fight for the brothers' survival - and her own. But choices, they come at a price... A gripping thriller about love, courage and survival that asks how we decide what's right and wrong in a world where neither is simple - and what we risk if we fail.

Black Beauty
Black Beauty is Anna Sewell's only novel, composed in the last years of her life between 1871 and 1877 while confined to her house as an invalid.The story is told in the first person as an autobiographical memoir told by a horse named Black Beauty—beginning with his carefree days as a colt on an English farm, to his difficult life pulling cabs in London, to his happy retirement in the country. Along the way, he meets with many hardships and recounts many tales of cruelty and kindness. Each short chapter recounts an incident in Black Beauty's life containing a lesson or moral typically related to the kindness, sympathy, and understanding treatment of horses, with Sewell's detailed observations and extensive descriptions of horse behaviour lending the novel a good deal of verisimilitude.

How would her neighbors treat her with her father not around? CAPTAIN BERNARDThere is no one in town who doesn’t love Captain Bernard. That is, no one except Belle. Sure, he’s built, good-looking and powerful. But he is also full of himself and has gained the nickname ‘The Animal’ for his behavior on the battlefield. But is there more to the Captain than meets the eye? Could his animalistic drive come from the pain of a long lost love? Is his love for Belle real? And when Belle’s father disappears while on a trip to the city, will Captain Bernard be the one to come to Belle’s rescue? THE BEAST Deep in the Dark Forest is an enchanted castle.

But when the man steals an enchanted rose as he leaves, the enraged Beast locks him up. Will the Beast allow the man’s beautiful daughter to take his place? Could she be the one to break the curse?

The Beauty of Ukraine
On 24 February 2022, the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops began. Since then, Russia's war of aggression has continued with increasing ferocity and destruction. Millions of Ukrainians have fled to neighbouring European countries. Ukraine is now a country caught between two stools: on the one hand, it is striving for rapprochement with NATO and the EU; on the other hand, good relations with Russia have also always been of fundamental importance to the country. This is a picture book about a landscape and its country, which is going through dark times and is currently moving the whole world. Here we take a look at the beauty and the integrity of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian landscape is characterised by steppes, plateaus, lowlands and mountains. The Lemurian Lake in the south of Ukraine impresses with its pink colour, as it has a higher salt content than the Dead Sea. The mountain ranges of the Carpathians in the west of Ukraine captivate with their wonderful wild beauty. The Ukrainian steppe is part of the great Eurasian steppe, which runs through several countries of Eastern Europe and used to be the home of the Cossacks. The country is also criss-crossed by numerous river courses, with the Dnieper, Donets and Dniester rivers, which flow into the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, being among the most significant.
Unparalleled scale, out-of-this-world colours and unique landscape shots from above make this book a tribute to the beauty of the Ukrainian landscape.
A Horror and a Beauty: The World of Peter Ackroyd's London Novels
Peter Ackroyd je jedním z předních současných britských „londýnských“ spisovatelů, který se zaměřuje na tuto metropoli, jeho historii, vývoj a identitu jak ve svých prózách, tak literatuře faktu. Jeho románový Londýn je silně idiosynkratický konstrukt, který vychází z autorových myšlenek o povaze tohoto města, ale také z jeho pojetí anglické literární senzibility obecně tak, jak je rozvíjí ve svých přednáškách i historických a literárních studiích. Jedná se o neobyčejně heterogenní město nezměrné rozmanitosti a bohatosti lidských zkušeností, nálad, emocí, aktivit a událostí, ale také nástrojů, jejichž prostřednictvím jsou (re)prezentovány a vyobrazeny. Tato heterogenita se podle Ackroyda většinou rodí mimo sídla a sféry kulturní produkce hlavního proudu a etablovaných společenských norem a konvencí, a to obzvláště v okultních praktikách, podvratných činnostech a spiknutích radikálních jedinců či skupin, nejrůznějších zločinných a podvodných činech, pochybných vědeckých experimentech, populárních dramatických rituálních a zábavných formách. Jejich neustálé střetávání se a soupeření s formami oficiálně doporučovanými a schvalovanými generují životní energii města nezbytnou pro jeho dynamické proměny a duchovní obrodu. Tato kniha představuje svět Ackroydových londýnských románů jako osobitý chronotop určený svými specifickými prostorovými a časovými vlastnostmi a jejich vzájemnou propojeností. Ačkoliv se takováto koncepce městského prostoru vzpírá kategorizaci, kniha je tematicky uspořádána na základě šesti aspektů definujících tento Londýn tak, jak je Ackroyd rozeznává: vztah mezi minulostí a přítomností města, jeho nadpřirozené projevy, jeho zločinné tendence, psychogeografické a antikvářské strategie jeho obyvatel, jeho divadelnost a jeho bytostně literární charakter.

Soubor článků, fejetonů a esejů, které autorka psala a vydávala v uplynulých 25 letech v různých českých periodikách (MF Dnes, Lidové noviny, Literární noviny atd.). V nich s ironií a vtipem sobě vlastními komentuje každodenní život kolem sebe, módu, kulturu, mezilidské vztahy, zajímá se ale i o vývoj na politické scéně či mezinárodní události, nejprve z pohledu významné osobnosti pražského uměleckého života, posléze obohaceného o „atlantickou optiku“ z Bretaně.
Faithfull Marianne with Warren Ellis - She Walks In Beauty 2LP
KDO: Marianne Faithfull je britská zpěvačka, písničkářka a herečka, jejíž kariéra trvá již více než pět dekád. V letech 1966-1970 plnila stránky bulvárního tisku svým vztahem s Mickem Jaggerem. I přes tuto poněkud nechtěnou reklamu si postupem času získala svou tvorbou přízeň hudební kritiky i neutuchající zájem posluchačů o svou tvorbu.
CO: Své nové album začala nahrávat Marianne Faithfull před prvním lockdownem a pokračovala i během něho do doby, než sama vážně onemocněla nemocí Covid-19. Na albu je jako hlavní spolupracovník hudebník Warren Ellis, který je společně s Nickem Cavem podepsán pod několika známými soundtracky. Mezi dalšími spolupracovníky se objevují i zmíněný Nick Cave, dále Brian Eno, cellista Vincent Ségal nebo producent a hudební inženýr skrývající se pod pseudonymem Head. Na albu vzdává Marianne poctu svým oblíbeným anglickým romantickým básníkům.
