You Are Not a Before Picture
An urgent, enlightening and empowering guide to disavowing diet culture and learning to make peace with our bodies, from body confidence and anti-diet advocate, Alex Light.
When we look in the mirror, so many of us see a ‘before’ picture: the miserable person in the side-by-side shot waiting for the ‘glow-up’ (read: weight loss) that will bring true happiness. But it’s not our fault that we see our bodies as projects in need of constant work: this is just one of the beliefs that has been ingrained in us by diet culture. We have been taught to view ourselves as a collection of ‘problem’ areas for which the billion-dollar diet industry holds the solutions.
Step-by-step, You Are Not A Before Picture provides a framework for changing the way we view ourselves and the world around us. Working with experts in the fields of psychotherapy, fitness and nutrition, Alex empowers readers to interrogate their underlying beliefs, challenge the external and internal forces that are holding us back, and finally find freedom in our bodies, for good.
Hvězdy fotbalu
PELÉ - vysloví jméno fotbalového poloboha polovina fanoušků, vždyť třikrát přivedl Brazílii ke Zlaté Niké (1958, 1962, 1970), dobrá čtvrtina doslova vynese do nebe argentinského fantoma MARADONU, strůjce argentinského triumfu v roce 1986. Současně vyslechneme názory, že tihle dva zcela výjimeční plejeři dominovali fotbalu zejména ve svém období, ale že od jejich času se hra a výkonnost a umění hráčů neporovnatelně posunuly. Nejlepším z nejlepších jsou přece ti, kteří jsou nejlepší právě dnes. A těmi vyvolenými jsou bezpochyby CRISTIANO RONALDO a LIONEL MESSI. Myslí si to třeba také Iker Casillas, který se ve volném čase intenzivně zabývá filozofií. "Ti dva jsou z jiné planety. Přemohli to, co bylo, a předběhli to, co bude. Mají vlastní úroveň, společný level přístupný jen jim, o spoustu pater výš, než jsou všichni ostatní," zní výrok mistra světa a dvojnásobného evropského šampiona. Mají hloubku a sílu a vyjadřují reálnou skutečnost. Jen potvrzují, že je dnes při veškeré úctě k legendám zpochybnitelným názor, že nejlepšími fotbalisty historie jsou právě Pelé či Maradona. Ano, se stali legendou. Ve své éře, podobně jako Alfredo di Stefano či Johan Cruijff, vyčnívají vysoko nad ostatními, ale k současným géniům, Cristianovi a Lionelovi, je těžko můžeme přirovnávat, a vůbec - takové měření, které tři desítky let až půlstoletí, je velmi obtížné. Alespoň je ale zřejmě, že Pelé, Maradona, Ronaldo a Messi jsou opravdu živými ikonami fotbalu. Až po nich následující výjimeční a úžasní muži, které můžeme pojmenovat vládci desetiletí. V padesátých letech udivuje svět Alfredo di Stéfano, po boku Pelého září černá perla z Mosambiku, Eusébio. Sedmdesátá léta zase patří Johanu Cruijffovi i Franzi Beckenbauerovi. V "osmdesátkách" vynikají společně s Maradonou Michel Platini a Marco van Basten, o desetiletí později udivují Italové, Paolo Maldini s Robertem Baggiem, na počátku nového věku jsou skvělí držitelé Světového poháru Zinedine Zidane, Brazilec Ronaldo, a dodnes zářící Gianluigi Buffon. A my můžeme být hrdí, že mezi nejlepší fotbalisty náleží také dva čeští držitelé Zlatého míče JOSEF MASOPUST, souputník Pelého, a PAVEL NEDVĚD, opravdový fotbalový gladiátor, a s nimi samozřejmě JOSEF BICAN, nejlepší evropský kanonýr všech dob.
Tři Češi v první stovce fotbalistů historie! A nesmíme zapomenout ani na ANTONÍNA PANENKU, strůjce našeho evropského titulu z roku 1976. Není to úžasné?
A tak se teď s našimi novodobými hrdiny Cristianem a Lionelem vydejme za jejich slavnými předchůdci a rovněž poznejme jejich možné nástupce, Neymara, Balea, Griezmanna a další možné kandidáty fotbalového trůnu.

Tyll
'Brilliant and unputdownable' Salman Rushdie
He's a trickster, a player, a jester. His handshake's like a pact with the devil, his smile like a crack in the clouds; he's watching you now and he's gone when you turn. Tyll Ulenspiegel is here!
In a village like every other village in Germany, a scrawny boy balances on a rope between two trees. He's practising. He practises by the mill, by the blacksmiths; he practises in the forest at night, where the Cold Woman whispers and goblins roam. When he comes out, he will never be the same.
Tyll will escape the ordinary villages. In the mines he will defy death. On the battlefield he will run faster than cannonballs. In the courts he will trick the heads of state. As a travelling entertainer, his journey will take him across the land and into the heart of a never-ending war.
A prince's doomed acceptance of the Bohemian throne has European armies lurching brutally for dominion and now the Winter King casts a sunless pall. Between the quests of fat counts, witch-hunters and scheming queens, Tyll dances his mocking fugue; exposing the folly of kings and the wisdom of fools.
With macabre humour and moving humanity, Daniel Kehlmann lifts this legend from medieval German folklore and enters him on the stage of the Thirty Years' War. When citizens become the playthings of politics and puppetry, Tyll, in his demonic grace and his thirst for freedom, is the very spirit of rebellion - a cork in water, a laugh in the dark, a hero for all time.

Mammoth Book of Bob Dylan
Bob Dylans impact on popular music has been incalculable. Having transformed staid folk music into a vehicle for coruscating social commentary, he then swept away the romantic platitudes of rock n roll with his searing intellect. From the zeitgei
st-encapsulating protest of Blowin in the Wind to the streetwise venom of Like a Rolling Stone, and from the stunning mid-sixties trilogy of albums Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde to Time Out of Mind, his
stunning if world-weary comeback at the age of 56, Dylans genius has endured, underpinned by the dazzling turn of phrase that has made him the pre-eminent poet of popular music. Because Dylans achievements have no equal, his career is the most chr
onicled in rock history. Here, Sean Egan presents a selection of the best writing on Dylan, both praise and criticism. Interviews, essays, features and reviews from Dylan intimates and scholars such as John Bauldie, Michael Gray, Nat Hentoff and Jule
s Siegel are interspersed with new narrative and reviews of every single album to create a comprehensive picture of the artist whose chimes of freedom still resound.

er, has other plans and Joe has no intention of settling down. All Rose will ever be to him is part of his student past. Instead he embarks on a dazzling career which takes him abroad for a number of years, leaving Rose alone with shattered dreams. S
he knows what true happiness can be like. Her parents have always been very well married, and the late arrival of her kid sister, Lily, helped make the family complete. But when Joe returns and falls for Lily, unaware that Rose still has feelings for
him, a dangerous rivalry ensues ...one that can only lead to murder.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu. Zobrazená obálka môže byť iba ilustr

OWC Emma
Emma Woodhouse is the lovely, lively, willful, and fallible heroine of Jane Austen's fourth published novel. Confident that she knows best, Emma schemes to find a suitable husband for her pliant friend Harriet, only to discover that she understands t
he feelings of others as little as she does her own heart. As Emma puzzles and blunders her way through the mysteries of her social world, Austen evokes for her readers a cast of unforgettable characters and a detailed portrait of a small town underg
oing historical transition. Written with matchless wit and irony, judged by many to be her finest novel, Emma has been adapted many times for film and television. This new edition contains lively notes and an introduction that shows how Austen brilli
antly turns the mundane into the exceptional. Emma is considered by many to be Austen's finest and most representative novel. The story of Emma Woodhouse's matchmaking, and her awakening to the true feelings of others as well as herself, is told with
consummate wit and humour. This new edition contains lively notes and an introduction that explores how Austen transmutes the everyday into the revelatory.

OWC Marble Faun
any narrative of human action and adventure - whether we call it history or Romance - is certain to be a fragile handiwork, more easily rent than mended' The fragility - and the durability - of human life and art dominate this story of American expat
riates in Italy in the mid-nineteenth century. Befriended by Donatello, a young Italian with the classical grace of the 'Marble Faun', Miriam, Hilda, and Kenyon find their pursuit of art taking a sinister turn as Miriam's unhappy past precipitates th
e present into tragedy. Hawthorne's 'International Novel' dramatizes the confrontation of the Old World and the New and the uncertain relationship between the 'authentic' and the 'fake', in life as in art. The author's evocative descriptions of class
ic sites made The Marble Faun a favourite guidebook to Rome for Victorian tourists, but this richly ambiguous symbolic romance is also the story of a murder, and a parable of the Fall of Man. As the characters find their civilized existence disrupted
by the awful consequences of impulse, Hawthorne leads his readers to question the value of Art and Culture and addresses the great evolutionary debate which was beginning to shake Victorian society.

Kate Remembered
'For more than twenty years, Katharine Hepburn imparted many of the details of her life to me suggesting that I weave them into a book - one that would appear upon her death. Sad to say, the time has come to publish that book. But I find comfort in knowing she lived a very rich 96 years, and I have tried my best to honour her wish of making the book as true to her spirit as possible - as inspiring, as loving and as fun.' Scott Berg KATE REMEMBERED is a loving tribute and a tender farewell that reveals an unusual relationship in a unique life, one fully lived - and largely according to Katharine Hepburn's own rules. More importantly, it sets down many of the stories of that life as she saw them, full of sentiments she felt should not be made public until after her death. Ultimately, this book is not only a story of the poignant final twenty years in which Scott Berg knew Katharine Hepburn, but also a tale of a great theatrical personality and the better part of the century that was the stage for her distinguished life.

Hundertwasser 25 Taschen
"His trump card is his art, the creator of beauty: of natural harmony, peace and joy. The extra-lucid power of his analytical sensitivity makes him the perfect decoder of global culture and its guided information. He reveals the prodigious quality re
sources of naturist empiricism against the abusive uniformity of rationalist totalitarianism, against the tyranny of ugliness and the iron rule of its straight line." Excerpt from: Pierre Restany, Hundertwasser, The Power of Art - The Painter-King wi
th the five skins, Cologne, 1998, p. 94 Viennese-native Friedrich Stowasser (1928-2000) called himself Hundertwasser Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt. True to the colorful variety of his names, he pursued many activities as a painter, architect and
ecologist, and as "one who awakens identities." This presentation of Hundertwasser's work in all of its different facets is guided by the artist's own view of himself and his purpose. And, because his work is virtually inseparable from his personal l
ife and political activity, a vivid portrait of the artist takes shape before the reader's eyes. Excerpts from conversations between the author and the artist lend a sense of immediacy and authenticity to the narration.
