Je planeta Země už plná?
Počet obyvatel zatěžuje naši planetu a ta je jen stěží schopna nás uživit..."
Z takového výroku se zdá, že globální kolaps už je na spadnutí, ale počet obyvatel, o kterém se zde mluví, byl asi 190 milionů lidí na celé Zemi a myslitel, jenž šířil tuto poplašnou zprávu, byl Tertullianus, obyvatel Kartága píšící ve 2. století našeho letopočtu. Za posledních 40 let se světová populace zdvojnásobila až na současných 7 miliard lidí, ale tempo jejího růstu se zpomaluje a počet obyvatel ani není jedinou rozhodující proměnnou, uvažujeme-li o tom, zda je planeta Země už plná. Žijeme v "globální vesnici" a jsme v nebezpečí, protože nám chybí vesnická rada starších, která by nás vedla. Změny klimatu, zásoby vody a potravin, využívání neobnovitelných zdrojů a v poslední době především migrace - to všechno jsou problémy, kterým lidé čelí.
Jaké jsou etické důsledky růstu světové populace? Je stávající úroveň spotřeby bohatých lidí trvale udržitelná? Je možné, aby taková úroveň byla rozšířena na všechny obyvatele planety? Jaký je současný stav planety Země a jejího ekosystému a jak se asi změní s růstem populace a příjmů? Co mohou lidé, firmy a vlády dělat, aby zastavili negativní dopady populačního růstu a naopak využili ty pozitivní? Na tyto otázky v knize o současnosti i budoucnosti planety odpovídají akademici z oborů ekonomie, demografie, filozofie, geografie, biologie, fyziky i medicíny z Oxford Martin School při Oxfordské univerzitě.

Goodbye Russia
In 1940 Sergei Rachmaninoff, living in exile in America, broke his creative silence and composed a swan song to his Russian homeland. What happened in those final haunted years and how did he come to write his farewell masterpiece, the Symphonic Dances?
Rachmaninoff left Petrograd in 1917 in the throes of the Russian Revolution. He was 44 years old, at the peak of his powers as composer-conductor-performer, moving in elite Tsarist circles, as well as running the family estate, his refuge and solace. He had already written the music which, today, has made him one of the most popular composers of all time: the second and third Piano Concertos and two symphonies. The story of his years in exile in America and Switzerland, has only been told in passing. Reeling from the trauma of a life in upheaval, he wrote almost no music and quickly had to reinvent himself as a feted virtuoso pianist, building up untold wealth and meeting the stars- from Walt Disney and Charlie Chaplin to his Russian contemporaries and polar opposites, Prokofiev and Stravinsky.
Yet the melancholy of leaving his homeland never lifted. Using a wide range of sources, including important newly translated texts, Maddocks' immensely readable book conjures impressions of this enigmatic figure, his friends and the world he encountered. It explores his life as an emigré artist and how he clung to an Old Russia which no longer existed. That forging of past and present meets in his Symphonic Dances (1940), his last composition, written on Long Island shortly before his death in Beverly Hills, surrounded by a close-knit circle of Russian exiles.

Tupac Shakur
The authorized biography of the legendary artist, Tupac Shakur, a “touching, empathetic portrait” (The New York Times) of his life and powerful legacy, fully illustrated with photos, mementos, handwritten poetry, musings, and more.
Artist, poet, actor, revolutionary, legend.
Tupac Shakur is one of the greatest and most controversial artists of all time. More than a quarter of a century after his tragic death in 1996 at the age of just twenty-five, he continues to be one of the most misunderstood, complicated, and influential figures in modern history. Drawing on exclusive access to Tupac’s private notebooks, letters, and uncensored conversations with those who loved and knew him best, this estate-authorized biography paints the fullest and most intimate picture to date of the young man who became a legend for generations to come.
In Tupac Shakur, author and screenwriter Staci Robinson—who knew Tupac from their shared circle of high school friends in Marin City, California, and who was entrusted by his mother, Afeni Shakur, to share his story—unravels the myths and unpacks the complexities that have shadowed Tupac’s existence. Decades in the making, this book pulls back the curtain to reveal a powerful story of a life defined by politics and art—a man driven by equal parts brilliance and impulsiveness, steeped in the rich intellectual tradition of Black empowerment, and unafraid to utter raw truths about race in America.
It is a story of a mother and son bound together by a love for each other and for their people, and the relationship that endured through their darkest times. It is a political story that begins in the whirlwind of the 1960s civil rights movement and unfolds through a young artist’s awakening to rage and purpose in the ’90s era of Rodney King. It is a story of dizzying success and its devastating consequences. And, of course, it is the story of Tupac’s music, his timeless, undying message as it continues to touch and inspire us today.
