Our Spoons Came from Woolworths (EN)
Audiobook Our Spoons Came from Woolworths, written by Barbara Comyns. "I defy anyone to read the opening pages and not to be drawn in, as I was. Quite simply, Comyns writes like no one else." Maggie O'Farrell, author of "Hamnet". Pretty, unworldly Sophia is twenty-one years old and hastily married to a young painter called Charles. An artist's model with an eccentric collection of pets, she is ill-equipped to cope with the bohemian London of the 1930s, where poverty, babies (however much loved) and her husband conspire to torment her.

The Gringo Guide To Moving To Mexico
Living The Mexican Dream!!
Imagine living in a place where your dollars are worth almost 20 times more than in the US, but that is also modern and close enough so you'll never feel homesick.
A place with beautiful beaches, tasty food, affordable housing and healthcare.
A place where the locals are friendly and there's always something fun to do.
If you strive for living a laidback lifestyle, in place rich with folklore and culture where you can also learn some Spanish on the go, then Mexico is the right place for you.
My name is Raúl Jiménez (Yes, like the player from the Mexican national soccer team), writer of the Amazon best seller on Mexican slang "MEXISLANG", and also an online Spanish teacher who has taught over 200 students from all over the world, including Gabriel Wyner, the writer and founder of "Fluent Forever".
I've been teaching online for more than 3 years, and during this time, I've noticed how many people were learning Spanish to travel to Mexico and Latin America, and besides language questions, I always got a lot about what places were the best to visit, or what kind of documents people needed if they wanted to stay here; because of this, I started writing this book.
This book is made for people who:
Want to know the process and documentation necessary to become a temporary or permanent resident of Mexico.
Want to know your money's worth and the general cost of living in Mexico.
Want to know about safety from the drug war and the most expat friendly places in Mexico.
Want to know about real state, and housing in Mexico.
Want to be prepared for the culture shock and the language barrier when moving to Mexico.
Want information about working and paying taxes in Mexico.

Umíral jsem na ledové planetě.
Byl to můj nejlepší přítel, který mě tam našel a vykonal nade mnou rozsudek. Byl mým žalobcem, soudcem i katem zároveň.
Měl jsem tam zemřít, ale já přežil. Za cenu toho, že už jsem nebyl takový jako předtím...
Kdysi jsem býval důstojníkem v elitní jednotce Ozbrojených složek Vesmírné asociace, ale pak jsem odmítl splnit rozkaz, uprchl do nepřátelského Extrasolárního společenství a našel tam nový domov. Jenže Vesmírná asociace znovu drtivě zaútočila. Někteří lidé si mysleli, že se to už nikdy nestane. Já ne, ale mě nikdo neposlouchal. Báli se mě. Nevěřili mi.
Protože už jsem ani téměř nebyl člověk...
Prohráváme na všech frontách a na mně je, abych se společně s Desmondem Sommersem a dalšími společníky vydal na zoufalou misi, která má za cíl osvobodit tajemného Vězně X, disponujícího znalostmi, jež by mohly celý konflikt zvrátit. Cesta mě však zavede mnohem, mnohem dál. Na Antára v jeho loži z oblaků na rozhraní mezi světlem a temnotou, kde se mé nejhorší noční můry stávají realitou...

Clapton Eric - 24 Nights: The Definitive 8LP+3BD
Eric Patrick Clapton, prezývaný ako Slowhand, je jeden z najúspešnejších anglických rockových gitaristov, spevákov a skladateľov 20. a 21. storočia. Je držiteľ ceny Grammy Award, a dosiahol aj to, že bol trikrát uvedený do Rokenrolovej siene slávy. V rokoch 1990 a 1991 vystupoval Eric Clapton 42 nocí v Royal Albert Hall v Londýne; 18 koncertov v roku 1990 a 24 v roku 1991. Počas týchto vystúpení vystupoval Clapton v troch rôznych zostavách: rocková kapela, bluesová kapela a orchester. Obrovský počin nacvičovania vystúpení troch výrazne odlišných žánrov a setlistov bol náročnejší kvôli zostavám rockových šou, ktoré sa pohybovali od 4, 9 alebo 13 členov kapely. Medzi hosťujúcich hudobníkov patrili Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Robert Cray a Phil Collins. Orchester dirigoval zosnulý Michael Kamen.Mnohé z vystúpení boli natočené, zaznamenané a obrovské množstvo zvukového a filmového materiálu bolo starostlivo obnovené a kvalitatívne vylepšené."Definitive 24 Nights Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set" obsahuje kompletný koncert o zvuku a filme každého žánru: Rock, Blues a Orchestral. 47 skladieb, takmer 6 hodín hudby na 8 LP a 3 Blu-ray.

It Only Happens in the Movies
The greatest love story ever told doesn't feature kissing in the snow or racing to airports. It features pain and confusion and hope and wonder and a ban on cheesy cliches. Oh, and zombies...YA star Holly Bourne tackles real love in this hugely funny and poignant novel.
Morální slepota
V životě, kde jsou hodnoty odvozovány od kasovních trháků a lidé touží po nejnovějších technických a módních vychytávkách, kde svůj názor odvozují od bulvárních drbů a jsou líní přemýšlet nad složitými otázkami, čelíme vážnému riziku, že ztratíme citlivost a přestaneme vnímat utrpení druhých.
Zlo totiž neodhaluje svou tvář jen za okolností, v nichž lidé často jednají pod extrémním nátlakem, jako jsou například války, projevuje se převážně v každodenní necitlivosti k utrpení druhých, v neschopnosti či odmítání je pochopit a v náhodném odvracení etického pohledu. Zlo a mravní slepota se skrývají v tom, co považujeme za normální, v triviálnostech a v banalitě každodenního života, a to nejen v abnormálních a výjimečných případech. Britský sociolog Zygmunt Bauman a litevský filosof a politolog Leonidas Donskis jev morální slepoty analyzují prostřednictvím konceptu adiafory - umístění určitých činů nebo kategorií lidských bytostí mimo svět morálních závazků a hodnocení. Adiafora implikuje postoj lhostejnosti k tomu, co se ve světě děje, je znakem mravní otupělosti, která se podle autorů stále více vzmáhá v západní společnosti.
Vydáním knihy Morální slepota s podtitulem Ztráta citlivosti v tekuté modernitě navazujeme na předešlé Baumanovy tituly (Tekuté zlo, Tekutý život, Tekutý strach).
Seal - Standards CD
Britská soulová legenda a držitel Grammy Seal na desáté desce Standards kombinuje svůj unikátní hlas s nejlepšími jazzovými standardy a swingovou klasikou, která byla kdy napsána. Album vdechuje nový život ikonickým hitům, jejichž prostřednictvím Seal vzdává hold legendám, jako je Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald nebo Nina Simone. Po celý čas třicetileté kariéry byl Seal vždy na vrcholu svého oboru a celosvětově prodal přes 30 milionů alb.
“Tohle je album, které jsem chtěl vždy nahrát. Vyrůstal jsem posloucháním muziky z éry Rata Packa, takže nahrávání těchto nestárnoucích melodií byl můj celoživotní sen. Byla to pro mě opravdová čest spolupracovat s těmi samými umělci, kteří vystupovali s Frankem Sinatrou a dalšími mými oblíbenými interprety, v těch samých studiích, kde byly tyto zázraky poprvé stvořeny. Prožil jsem jedny z nejlepších dní mé nahrávací kariéry,” přibližuje okolnosti vzniku desky Seal
Sealovo nové album přenáší do přítomnosti půvab starého Hollywoodu. Jeho sametově hřejivý vokál oživuje nesmrtelné klasiky jako I’ve Got You Under My Skin od Franka Sinatry, I’m Beginning to See The Light od Elly Fitzgerald nebo I Put A Spell on You od Niny Simone. Nahrávání se účastnil například Randy Waldman, klavírista, který vystupoval se Sinatrou nebo Paulem Ankou, Chuck Berghofer, basista, který hrával s Ellou Fitzgerald a Ray Charlesem a v neposlední řadě Greg Fields, bubeník, jež doprovázel Quincyho Jonese a Stevieho Wondera.

Audrey, Lizzie and their fellow medics and pilots will suffer the tragedies of war and experience loss and suffering.

See, Solve, Scale
Inspired by Brown University's beloved course - The Entrepreneurial Process - Danny Warshay's See, Solve, Scale is a proven and paradigm-shifting method to unlocking the power of entrepreneurship.
The Entrepreneurial Process, one of Brown University's highest-rated courses, has empowered thousands of students to start their own ventures. You might assume these ventures started because the founders were born entrepreneurs. You might assume that these folks had technical or finance degrees, or worked at fancy consulting firms, or had some other specialized knowledge. Yet that isn't the case. Entrepreneurship is not a spirit or a gift. It is a process that anyone can learn, and that anyone can use to turn a problem into a solution with impact.
In See, Solve, Scale, Danny Warshay, the creator of the Entrepreneurial Process course and founding Executive Director of Brown's Center for Entrepreneurship, shares the same set of tools with aspiring entrepreneurs around the world. He overturns the common misconception that entrepreneurship is a hard-wired trait or the sole province of high-flying MBAs, and provides a proven method to identify consequential problems and an accessible process anyone can learn, master, and apply to solve them.
Combining real-world experience backed by surprising research-based insights, See, Solve, Scale guides the reader through forming a successful startup team and through the three steps of the process: find and validate a problem, develop an initial small-scale solution, and scale a long-term solution. It also details eleven common errors of judgment that entrepreneurs make when they rely on their intuition and provides instruction for how to avoid them.
Leveraging Warshay's own entrepreneurship successes and his 15 years of experience teaching liberal arts students, See, Solve, Scale debunks common myths about entrepreneurship and empowers everyone, especially those who other entrepreneurship books have ignored and left behind. Its lasting message: Anyone can take a world-changing idea from conception to breakthrough entrepreneurial success.
Diane Arbus Documents
Known for her evocative portraits, Diane Arbus is a pivotal figure in American postwar photography. Undeniably striking, Arbus's black-and-white photographs capture a unique gaze. Criticized as well as lauded for her photographs of people deemed "outsiders," Arbus continues to attract a diversity of opinions surrounding her subjects and practice. Critics and writers have described her work as "sinister" and "appalling" as well as "revelatory," "sincere," and "compassionate." In the absence of Arbus's own voice, art criticism and cultural shifts have shaped the language attributed to her work.
Organized in eleven sections that focus on major exhibitions and significant events in Arbus's life, as well as on her practice and her subjects, the seventy facsimiles of articles and essays--an archive by all accounts--trace the discourse on Diane Arbus, contextualizing her hugely successful oeuvre. Also with an annotated bibliography of more than six hundred entries and a comprehensive exhibition history, Documents serves as an important resource for photographers, researchers, art historians, and art critics, in addition to students of art criticism and the interested reader alike.

Wolfgang Tillmans: To look without fear
Encompassing photography, installation, print media, video and more, this publication is the most comprehensive account of Tillmans' wide-ranging career to date
A visionary creator and intrepid polymath, Wolfgang Tillmans unites formal inventiveness with an ethical orientation that attends to the most pressing issues of life today. While his work transcends the bounds of any single artistic discipline, he is best known for his wide-ranging photographic output. From trenchant documents of social movements to windowsill still lifes, ecstatic images of nightlife to cameraless abstractions, sensitive portraits to architectural studies, astronomical phenomena to intimate nudes, he has explored seemingly every genre of photography imaginable, continually experimenting with how to make new pictures and deepen the viewer's experience.
Published in conjunction with a major exhibition of Tillmans' work at the Museum of Modern Art, this copiously illustrated volume surveys four decades of the artist's career. An outstanding group of writers offer diverse essays addressing key threads of his multifaceted practice, and a new text by Tillmans himself elucidates the distinctive methodology behind his system of presenting photographs. Wolfgang Tillmans: To look without fear grants readers new insight into the work of an artist who has not only changed the way photography is exhibited but pointed contemporary art in dynamic new directions.
Wolfgang Tillmans (born 1968) is among the most influential contemporary artists, and the impact of his work registers across the arts, intersecting with fashion, music, architecture, the performing arts and activism. Tillmans is the recipient of the Turner Prize (2000) and the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography (2015). His foundation, Between Bridges, supports the advancement of democracy, international understanding, the arts and LGBTQ rights.
