Big Ideas from Literature
This third book in the best-selling Big Ideas series introduces readers to the classics, as well as modern children’s fiction—a charming addition to Big Ideas for Curious Minds and Big Ideas from History
Great stories are often universal: our very souls shine with new ideas when we read them. Books can be so powerful, helping us through tricky times, offering us wisdom we haven’t learnt yet, showing us that there are people like us, or showing us the opposite, that other people live very different lives. Books can be a friend when you need one the most and you can use them to help and inspire others, too.
Big Ideas from Literature helps the child discover key ideas that lots of different books are trying to teach through the stories they tell – and helps the growing child develop empathy and resilience.
This book teaches children (and adults!) about the history of literature, from the first ever story that was written down to the invention of books just for children. The best children’s books become our dearest friends and companions.
Children discover characters from a diverse range of books – including J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba and Young Dark Emu: A Truer History by Bruce Pascoe – and learn how these stories can help them better understand the world around them.
The Big Fail
From the author of the modern business classic The Smartest Guys in the Room comes a damning indictment of late-stage capitalism-and the leaders that were brutally unprepared for a global pandemic.
In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic made it painfully clear that governments across the world could not adequately protect their citizens. Millions of people suffered and died in just two years, while administrations around the globe blundered; prize-winning economists overlooked devastating trade-offs from the collapse of trade; and elites escaped to isolated retreats, unaffected by - and worse, even profiting from - the worst healthcare crisis to hit humanity in decades.
In this page-turning economic, political and financial history, veteran journalists Bethany McClean and Joseph Nocera analyse the American response to the pandemic as a case study, to offer fresh and provocative answers. With laser-sharp reporting and deep sourcing, they investigate what really happened when governments ran out of PPE due to snarled supply chains; and the shock to the financial system when the world's biggest economies stumbled. They zero in on the effectiveness of wildly polarised approaches across states, and they trace why thousands died in hollowed-out hospital systems and nursing homes run by private equity firms, all in the name of "maximising shareholder value".
The Big Fail is an expansive, gripping narrative account on what the pandemic did to one economy, and how it forced us to question the fundamental principles of our society

Sea & Sky

Young meteorology student Javes is stuck in the remote desert of the north. The area bristles with technology of an ancient past, but he cannot tell anyone about it because roads and telegraph lines have been cut by bad weather and invading bandits.

Sky Island
Trot is near her home on the coast of southern California when she meets a strange little boy with a large umbrella. Button Bright has been using his family's magic umbrella to take long-range journeys from his Philadelphia home, and has gotten as far as California. After an explanation of how the magic umbrella works, the two children, joined by Cap'n Bill, decide to take a trip to a nearby island; they call it "Sky island," because it looks like it's "halfway in the sky" — but the umbrella takes them to a different place entirely, a literal island in the sky.

Three Apples Fell from the Sky
A poignant, uplifting tale of love, friendship and second chances
High in the Armenian mountains, villagers in the close-knit community of Maran bicker, gossip and laugh. Their only connection to the outside world is an ancient telegraph wire and a perilous mountain road that even goats struggle to navigate. As they go about their daily lives - harvesting crops, making baklava, tidying houses - the villagers sustain one another through good times and bad. But sometimes a spark of romance is enough to turn life on its head, and a plot to bring two of Maran's most stubbornly single residents together soon gives the village something new to gossip about...
Three Apples Fell from the Sky is an enchanting fable sparkling with sumptuous imagery, warm humour and the irresistible joy of everyday friendship.

Iron Sky
A ?nácik bukása után létrejött a Negyedik Birodalom – a Holdon. Adolf Hitler holtteste (elvileg) nyomtalanul eltűnt, de a nemzetiszocialista ideológia virágkorát éli továbbra is, egy másik égitesten.
A könyv egy fiatal nőről szól, aki hisz a faji felsőbbrendűségben és mindazokban a doktrínákban, amelyeket a Földről tanult. Ám amikor egy amerikai űrhajó érkezik a Holdra 2018-ban, minden megváltozik. Renate a Földre utazik, hogy beszélhessen az embereknek az erkölcsileg magasabb rendű náci életmód erényeiről, ám amit ott talál, cseppet sem olyan, mint a propagandában.
A világ abszurditását tükröző mű könyörtelen görbetükröt tart elénk, bemutatva civilizációnk vakságát és önpusztító hatásait. Politikai szatíra a hatalom szégyentelen kapzsiságáról, a tömegek manipulálásáról, az ideológiák hatásairól – és természetesen az emberiség végtelen ostobaságáról.
A regény az Iron Sky című film forgatókönyvén és Johanna Sinisalo kutatásain alapul, a könyv így annak ún. „írói változata”, megfűszerezve az űrnél is sötétebb humorral.

Big Beat šedesátých let v Brně a okolí
Knihu "Big Beat šedesátých let v Brně a okolí - I. Triptichon" napsal a sestavil erudovaný rocker Jiří Donné Smýkal, vyšla ve formátu A4 má skoro 500 stran a obsahuje stovky fotek kapel ze šedesátých let. Nechybí ani jmenný rejstřík a dvě záložky. Nezbytný průvodce brněnskou ROCK AND ROLLOVOU dobou, který není pouze pro MÁNIČKY A PAMĚTNÍKY. Na přelomu padesátých a šedesátých let minulého století začaly na naši hudební scénu pronikat progresivní hudební projevy. Byl jím především rokenrol. Ale hlavní vzestup spojený s hudební scénou, která začala určovat celkový životní postoj a styl mládeže, měl teprve přijít. V první polovině šedesátých let zasáhla celý civilizovaný svět hudební euforie všeobecně nazývaná, podle nejtypičtějších hudebních představitelů, beatlemanie. Hudební skupina z anglického města Liverpool The Beatles se stala vzorem pro mladé lidi téměř vlastně na celém světě. A to nejen hudbou, kterou tato skupina produkovala, ale i svými názory, které šířila. Ve čtyřiašedesátém a v pětašedesátém začalo vznikat v tehdejším Československu nejvíce bigbeatových skupin a to i v Brně. Byl to do té doby nevídaný rozmach. Vždyť někteří takoví zakládající členové si šli koupit elektrickou kytaru, aniž by do té doby drželi jakoukoli v ruce. Prostě zastrčili kabel od kytarových snímačů do gramofonového vstupu obyčejného domácího rozhlasového přijímače a začali se učit hrát přímo "s elektrikou". V Brně a jeho okolí působilo v šedesátých letech více než sto bigbeatových skupin. V repertoáru měly ponejvíc převzaté skladby slavných zahraničních skupin. O vlastní tvorbu nebyl moc velký zájem, protože zde sehrála svoji roli izolovanost našeho státu od "západu". Členové bigbeatových skupin i jejich příznivci si chtěli vytvořit takovou atmosféru, jakou si představovali, že je za našimi hranicemi. Proto nejraději kopírovali zahraniční vzory.
If The Sky Weeps
In this collection, I have decided to take up the task of the town crier, take up the metal gong and beat not just into the conscience of all those killing our environments but also into the ears of everyone who cherishes the regeneration of humanity and desires a secure and safe natural habitat for their posterity. If The Sky Weeps is the first in a trilogy of collections of poetry which I am using to address these issues. The others are There’s No More Sky To Eat and Dance Of The Forest.

A Sky Beyond The Storm
Picking up just a few months after A Reaper at the Gates left off...
The long-imprisoned jinn are on the attack, wreaking bloody havoc in villages and cities alike. But for the Nightbringer, vengeance on his human foes is just the beginning.
At his side, Commandant Keris Veturia declares herself Empress, and calls for the heads of any and all who defy her rule. At the top of the list? The Blood Shrike and her remaining family.
Laia of Serra, now allied with the Blood Shrike, struggles to recover from the loss of the two people most important to her. Determined to stop the approaching apocalypse, she throws herself into the destruction of the Nightbringer. In the process, she awakens an ancient power that could lead her to victory - or to an unimaginable doom.
And deep in the Waiting Place, the Soul Catcher seeks only to forget the life - and love - he left behind. Yet doing so means ignoring the trail of murder left by the Nightbringer and his jinn. To uphold his oath and protect the human world from the supernatural, the Soul Catcher must look beyond the borders of his own land. He must take on a mission that could save - or destroy - all that he knows.

Big Auntie’s Pearls
The Choreo-novel, “Big Auntie’s Pearls” is my attempt to expand upon the form of dramatic expression known as “Choreopoem” which combines poetry, dance music and song with traditional African-American storytelling. My story’s implied plot uses theme elements with specific characters to hopefully create an emotional response from readers also its listeners. Nontraditional spelling and vernacular are written in the Concert format with each chapter called an Opus with three different movements as found in a Sonata or acts of an Opera or Ballet. The four Opuses are infused with Intermezzo and in Three-quarters time giving those of us with short attention spans maybe a twelve-hour read or an hour for one movement. The Google interactive version contains links to music; fashion; food and culture with also fast cars of the times to enhance the readers experience and maybe even do a little shopping.
My story is Historical "Inspirational Fiction” using pseudonyms of persons and Venerable Institutions in a respectful fictitious manner to help Annamitta (Anna-me-ta) tell her story of her Big Auntie’s whispered “High Pearls of Burden.” I invite you on this journey to my native Southwest Georgia in the “Morning Star Suite” and a debut recital in the Southern hamlet of Boston before spanning through time with stops in Washington DC, Miami until Annamitta’s “New Day” at Savannah’s College by the Sea.
