The Language of Trees
If trees have memories, respond to stress, and communicate, what can they tell us? And will we listen?
A stunning international collaboration that reveals how trees make our world, change our minds and rewild our lives – from root to branch to seed.
In this beautifully illustrated collection, artist Katie Holten gifts readers her visual Tree Alphabet and uses it to masterfully translate and illuminate pieces from some of the world’s most exciting writers and artists, activists and ecologists.
Holten guides us on a journey from prehistoric cave paintings and creation myths to the death of a 3,500 year-old cypress tree, from Tree Clocks in Mongolia and forest fragments in the Amazon to the language of fossil poetry. In doing so, she unearths a new way of seeing the natural beauty that surrounds us and creates an urgent reminder of what could happen if we allow it to slip away.
Printed in deep green ink, The Language of Trees is a celebratory homage filled with prose, poetry and art from over fifty collaborators, including Ursula K. Le Guin, Robert Macfarlane, Zadie Smith, Radiohead, Elizabeth Kolbert, Amitav Ghosh, Richard Powers, Suzanne Simard, Gaia Vince, Tacita Dean, Plato and Robin Wall Kimmerer.
A kisgyermek gondozása
A csecsemő életének első éve alatt a szülőknek az információk valóságos tárháza áll rendelkezésükre szakkönyvekben, illetve az egészségügyi intézményeknek és az egészségügyi személyzetnek köszönhetően. A kisgyermek gondozásához azonban már nem ilyen egyszerű ismereteket szerezni. Most azonban, íme a segítség azon új problémák és aggodalmak kezelésére, amelyek a csecsemő kisgyermekké válása során adódnak.
A kezdőknek szóló színes kézikönyv végigkalauzolja a szülőket, hogy hogyan alakítsák ki az egészséges táplálkozás, öltözködés, éjszakai és délutáni alvás mindennapos menetét, és miként birkózzanak meg a fegyelmezés gondjaival. A kötet azt is bemutatja, hogyan intézzük a bilizést, hogyan tegyünk eleget a gyermek érzelmi igényeinek, miként alakítsuk ki a bizalom légkörét, s hogyan csökkentsük a kicsi félelmeit.
And Then What? Inside Stories of 21st-Century Diplomacy
So much of modern-day diplomacy still takes place behind closed doors, away from cameras and prying eyes. So what does this vital role really look like in today’ s world – and what does it take to do it well? From 2009 to 2014, Cathy Ashton was the EU’ s first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security, effectively Europe's foreign policy supremo responsible for coordinating the EU's response to international crises. Arriving in Brussels as a relative novice to international diplomacy, she faced the challenge of representing the views and values of 28 nations during one of the most turbulent times in living memory. Decades-old certainties were swept away in days. Hope rose and fell, often in a matter of hours. From the frozen conflict of Ukraine to the Serbia-Kosovo deal, there were challenges, failures and moments of success. She encountered dictators and war criminals, and witnessed the aftermath of natural disasters, military action, and political instability. Working with US politicians and counterparts including John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Burns, she negotiated historic settlements, such as the Iran nuclear deal. An ‘ honest broker’ , she navigated the needs of opposing politicians to chart a path towards collaboration and stability. Now Ashton takes us behind the scenes to show us what worked and what didn’ t, and how it felt to be in ‘ the room where it happened’ . From Serbia to Somalia, Libya to Haiti, she offers essential insight into how modern diplomacy works, examining the tools needed to find our way through the many challenges we face today.

František z Assisi
Táto kniha nesie podtitul „Nový kritický životopis“, čím nemyslíme, len životopis najnovší, ale skôr nový portrét muža, ktorý je známy ako svätý František z Assisi. Máme to šťastie, že o Františkovi sa nám zachovalo veľké množstvo príbehov, anekdot, správ i spisov pochádzajúcich z jeho vlastného storočia, z ktorých väčšinu dnes bádatelia v niektorých alebo všetkých ohľadoch považujú za „legendárne“. Tento životopis je pokusom spracovať stredoveké pramene o Františkovi dôsledne, niekedy až nemilosrdne kritickým spôsobom. Jeho cieľom je čo najviac poodhaliť človeka, ktorý sa skrýva za legendami.

Mateřství se mi stalo pastí
Pojmem „mateřská deprese“, který autorka sama definovala, dosud nebyl dostatečně popsán a odborně zkoumán a rozumí se jím dlouhodobý depresivní stav, jímž průběžně trpí matky malých dětí s predispozicí k depresi (na rozdíl od poporodní deprese). Na základě vlastní zkušenosti a výpovědí dalších matek, které se musely s tímto problémem dlouhodobě potýkat, Tracy Thompsonová tento stav popisuje a definuje, vymezuje se proti tabu, s nímž bývá stále ještě koncept „nemilující matky“ spojován, a nabízí řadu rad, jak si tuto situaci pokud možno usnadnit a hlavně jak ji nepředat dalším generacím.
Tracy Thompsonová je americká novinářka. Další její knihou je Beast, beletristicky laděný příběh o tom, jak se s depresí vyrovnávala ona sama.
