Checkpoint Charlie
Nový strhující pohled na dějiny berlínské zdi, především slavného hraničního přechodu Charlie, jenž se stal symbolem studené války, střetu o moc mezi Západem a Východem. V důkladně zdokumentovaném a přitom čtivém příběhu tohoto místa vystupují významné postavy světové politiky jako D. Eisenhower, J. V. Stalin, J. F. Kennedy, N. S. Chruščov, Mao Ce-tung, a další. Na přesvědčivosti mu dodává řada působivých svědectví získaných z rozhovorů s lidmi, kteří zeď stavěli a bourali, s dětmi, které ji překonaly, s příbuznými a přáteli, jejichž blízcí zahynuli při pokusu o průnik do západní zóny, s příslušníky vojenské policie a vojáky strážícími kontrolní stanoviště, s agenty CIA, MI6 a Stasi, kteří dohlíželi na přeshraniční akce. Tři desetiletí po pádu berlínské zdi nám tato kniha připomíná, kolik lidských osudů zasáhla a jaké to bylo žít v rozděleném světě.
„Povinná četba pro každého, kdo chce porozumět Evropě, jakou jsme zdědili.“ – Jon Snow, moderátor britského televizního kanálu Channel 4 New
„MacGregor vdechuje berlínské zdi nový život díky rozhovorům s lidmi, kteří ji stavěli, bránili či žili v jejím stínu.“ – Whashington Post
„Bohatá sbírka příběhů z Berlína v době studené války zachycuje zběsilou komplexitu tohoto města.“ – Observer
Iain MacGregor se jako redaktor či editor věnuje literatuře faktu již více než pětadvacet let. Své bohaté zkušenosti zúročil i v knize o berlínském hraničním přechodu Checkpoint Charlie. Jeho otec sloužil s britskou armádou na Rýně v 50. letech a poté byl poslán na zotavenou do Západního Berlína. Sám MacGregor během studií v první polovině 80. let navštívil Pobaltí i Sovětský svaz, se zájmem sledoval dění v Berlíně v noci z 9. na 10. listopadu 1989, kdy padla berlínská teď. Později procestoval bývalé země Varšavské smlouvy a vrátil se i do Berlína, kde zavítal ke stále netknutému hraničnímu přechodu Charlie. Žije v Londýně s manželkou a dvěma dětmi. Checkpoint Charlie je jeho druhá kniha.

Women Who Run with Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the bins of the female unconscious. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over twenty years of research that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype. Dr. Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. "La Loba" teaches about the transformative function of the psyche. In "Bluebeard," we learn what to do with wounds that will not heal; in "Skeleton Woman," we glimpse the mystical power of relationship and how dead feelings can be revived; "Vasalisa the Wise" brings our lost womanly instincts to the surface again; "The Handless Maiden" recovers the Wild Woman initiation rites; and "The Little Match Girl" warns against the insidious dangers of a life spent in fantasy. In these and other stories, we focus on the many qualities of Wild Woman. We retrieve, examine, love, and understand her, and hold her against our deep psyches as one whois both magic and medicine. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and lifegiving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.

The Great Reset
In The Great Reset: And the War for the World, the most controversial man on earth Alex Jones gives you a full analysis of The Great Reset, the global elite's international conspiracy to enslave humanity and all life on the planet.
From central bankers, corporate billionaires, and corrupted government officials, global elites have been organizing a historic war on humanity under a trans-humanist, scientific dictatorship. Alex Jones was the first major figure to expose the World Economic Forum’s agenda. He has dedicated the last 30 years of his life to studying The Great Reset, conducting tens of thousands of interviews with top-level scientists, politicians, and military officials in order to reverse engineer their secrets and help awaken humanity.
The Great Reset: And the War for the World chronicles the history of the global elites' rise to power and reveals how they’ve captured the governments of the world and financed The Great Reset to pave the way for The New World Order.
Once dubbed a conspiracy theory, but now openly promoted by the most powerful corporations and governments, The Great Reset is a planned attempt to redistribute all the world’s wealth and power into the hands of banks, corporations, billionaires, and The World Economic Forum.
If you read one book in a lifetime, this is it. In The Great Reset: And the War for the World, you will discover from the self-appointed controllers of the planet in their own words, their plan for what they call the final revolution, or The Great Reset.
The only way this corporate fascist conspiracy can succeed is if the people of the world are not aware of it. And this book lays out their sinister blueprint and how to stop it. While many great books have been written to help awaken people to this sinister agenda, no author has ever spent as much time and research on The Great Reset as Alex Jones.
The Great Reset: And the War for the World is the undisputed trailblazer for understanding what’s happening and how to stop it.
