The Book of Hope
A legendary conservationist. A lifetime spent fighting for nature. An indispensable message of hope.
In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope?
Looking at the headlines?the worsening climate crisis, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval?it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.
In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist, and Douglas Abrams, the bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy, explore through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her "Four Reasons for Hope": The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.
Filled with inspiring stories and original photographs, The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look not only at the nature of hope but also into the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionized how we view the world and has spent a lifetime fighting for our future.
There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.

Petra Kvitová Neuvěřitelný příběh
Začínáte číst velký a silný příběh, jak se obyčejná holka ze slezského městečka Fulneku stala z neznámé tenisové Popelky bílou královnou, a dnes platí za uznávanou globální hvězdu, která ovšem musela překonat nejednu těžkou překážku a jednou také dokázala zvítězit sama nad sebou. Ano, je to až neuvěřitelné, Petra Kvitová je celých deset let na špičce světového tenisu a dnes v celém světě respektovanou celebritou. Jak je možné, že děvče, které začalo s tenisem až ve čtrnácti letech, ušlo do svých současných devětadvaceti let tak významnou cestu. Tajemství tkví především v dobré rodině a vlastní tvrdé práci.
Petra už ve svých jedenadvaceti ovládne rok 2011, když po vítězství nad Marií Šarapovovou získá titul ve Wimbledonu a stejně dominuje na Turnaji mistryň v Istanbulu. Rovněž vyhraje dalších pět prestižních turnajů a pak ještě dovede Česko k výhře ve Fed Cupu nad Ruskami, úžasnou sezonu končí jako světová dvojka. Do dějin tenisu se opětovně zapíše, když v roce 2014 dobyde Wimbledon po vítězství nad Kanaďankou Eugenií Bouchardovou podruhé.
„Vítězství ve Wimbledonu a Fed Cupu jsou pro mě nejvíc.“
Zařadí se tak hned za nejlepší českou tenistku Martinu Navrátilovou, ostatně Petra s 26 tituly (!) triumfy na velkých turnajích, na nichž vyhrála přes 500 zápasů, kráčí ve šlépějích svého vzoru.
Velkého úspěchu dosáhne pro Česko i na olympiádě v Riu 2016, kde se po výhře nad Američankou Madison Keysovou raduje z bronzu. Petra se touží opět přiblížit k samotnému vrcholu a dobýt nějaký grandslam. Sny, které má nablízku, však těsně před Vánocemi 2016 přetrhne brutální napadení a vážně poranění skvělé levé ruky, Petřina zlatého nástroje. Zprvu není vůbec jisté, zda ještě bude moci hrát vrcholový tenis. Petra se však, pomalu zázračně, dokáže rychle zotavit a vrátit a už v červnu 2017 slaví v Birminghamu svůj dvacátý titul, na okruhu pak přidává dalších šest a také finále na grandslamu v Melbourne 2019. Petra je opět mezi nejlepšími pěti hráčkami světa a chce útočit dál a výš.
„Spíš než na zázraky věřím sama v sebe,“ řekla po návratu.
Petra je rovněž vynikající týmovou hráčkou. Má velkou zásluhu na skutečnosti, že se Češky během osmi staly šestkrát šampionkami Fed Cupu. Nejprve v roce 2011 po vítězném finále nad Ruskami a 2012 nad Srbskem, následně třikrát v řadě 2014 až 2016, kdy zdolaly silnou Francii, a naposledy v 2018, když porazily Spojené státy. Je nepochybné, že s Petrou a Karolínou Plíškovou máme nejlepší ženský tenisový tým na světě!
Knížka není jen portrétem mladé sportovní hvězdy a obrazem její mimořádné cesty, ale také reálným a těžce vydřeným hollywoodským snem narozeným v Česku a pak na všech významných tenisových kolbištích světa. Fanynky a fanoušci a také všechny obyčejné holky, rodiče, čtěte recept na nebeský úspěch i pozemskou slávu, k nimž vedly velká píle, pokora a skromnost a také neuvěřitelná statečnost.

None of the Above
'When you are someone that falls outside of categories in so many ways, a lot of things are said to you. And I have had a lot of things said to me.'
In None of the Above, Travis Alabanza examines seven phrases people have directed at them about their gender identity. These phrases have stayed with them over the years. Some are deceptively innocuous, some deliberately loaded or offensive, some celebratory; sentences that have impacted them for better and for worse; sentences that speak to the broader issues raised by a world that insists that gender must be a binary.
Through these seven phrases, which include some of their most transformative experiences as a Black, mixed race, non binary person, Travis Alabanza turns a mirror back on society, giving us reason to question the very framework in which we live and the ways we treat each other.
