We Should All Be Mirandas
When Sex and the City premiered, many were hesitant to identify as the Miranda of their social circle - after all, sarcasm, workaholism, and dubious fashion choices are rarely considered aspirational. However, in the two-plus decades since her television debut, our culture has finally caught up with this forward-thinking icon and all she represents. The truth is, Miranda Hobbes is the feminist hero that we deserve - we were all just too busy obsessing over Carrie's corset tops to notice it at first.
WE SHOULD ALL BE MIRANDAS is a celebration of a certain redheaded lawyer and the legions of fans who relate to her pragmatic, no-bullshit approach to work, love, and sex. Written by two self-proclaimed Mirandas, this humorous manifesto distils Ms. Hobbes' core principles into a strategic guide for navigating life's inevitable ups and downs. In it, you'll learn to:
Overcome your internalised Mirandaphobia
Cope with humiliating sexual encounters
Make Google Docs your bitch
Dump that Skipper that you've been dating
Embrace your bad hair days
...and so much more!
With sharp, sardonic humor and nods to the series' most iconic moments, We Should All Be Mirandas is the perfect gift for fashionistas, pop culture mavens, and every woman who has dared to eat cake out of the garbage.

New European Baking
Just like many pandemic-driven Americans, Europeans are turning on their ovens and rediscovering their roots through baking.
This collection of nearly one hundred recipes is presented with elegant yet friendly flair by Laurel Kratochvila, an American-born, boulangerie-trained baker with her own Jewish bakery and bagel shop in Berlin. Each chapter is dedicated to a certain kind of baked product-breads, brioches and enriched doughs, viennoiseries and laminated pastries, tartes and biscuits-and includes foundational recipes and time-honored techniques for dough-shaping, fermentation, seasoning, and fillings.
Sprinkled throughout the book are profiles introducing readers to eleven other European bakers who are turning out delicious pastries and breads that reflect the cultural heritage of their home cities of Paris, Warsaw, Copenhagen, Madrid, London, and Lisbon. Recipes such as Baltic rye bread, toasted sesame challah, elderflower maritozzi, honey and fig tropezienne, lamb and fennel sausage rolls, soft pretzels, and spicy ginger caramel shortbreads combine Old World traditions with twenty-first century flavors.
Filled with luscious photography, and suitable for bakers at every level of experience, this sophisticated yet accessible guide to home baking is crammed with centuries of European history.

Fen, Bog and Swamp
From Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx - whose novels are infused with her knowledge and deep concern for the earth - comes an urgent and riveting history of wetlands, their ecological role and how the loss of them threatens the planet.
Fens, bogs, swamps and marine estuaries are the earth's most desirable and dependable resources, and in four illuminating parts Proulx documents the emergence of their systemic destruction in the pursuit of profit and the consequent release of their stored carbon. Wide-ranging and idiosyncratic, Proulx's explanation of wetlands takes readers to the fens of sixteenth-century England, Canada's Hudson Bay Lowlands, Russia's Great Vasyugan Mire and America's Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and introduces the nineteenth-century explorers who launched the ravaging of the Amazon rainforest.
Proulx was born in the 1930s, a time, as she says, when 'in the ever-continuing name of progress, Western countries busily raped their own and other countries of minerals, timber, fish and wildlife.' Fen, Bog & Swamp is both a revelatory history and an urgent plea for wetland reclamation from a writer whose passionate devotion to observing and preserving the environment is on glorious display.
Pražské mosty v obrazech

u Čechova, zbytků nejstaršího románského mostu na Vyšehradě. Z moderních objektů je to lávka na Barrandově nebo u paláce Dunaj v Pobřežní ulici v Karlíně nebo lávka ve Stodůlkách či tunelový most metra v Prokopském údolí. Knížka uvádí pět okruhů nauč
né stezky vždy s asi dvaceti objekty. Je rovněž doplněna obrázkovou mapkou.

Ne legyen más istened rajtam kívül!
„Nincs még egy komponista, aki zenéjével Richard Wagner módján képes az érzések valóságos váltófürdőjébe meríteni a hallgatóját, és ezzel szélsőséges csodálatot vagy szélsőséges elutasítást kiváltani. Vajon mi rejlik e mögött a zenei túláradás mögött? Véleményem szerint összeegyeztethetetlen az emberi etika alapelveivel a Wagner életét, írásait és operáit átható világszemlélet. Rasszizmus, a nők megvetése, az önistenítés és az élet tagadása határozza meg ezt világszemléletet. A Wagner-féle világlátás ezen oszlopai képezik a könyvem tárgyát. Megpróbálom lecsapolni a befogadástörténetnek azt a mocsarát, amit a zeneszerző, gondolkodó és politikus Richard Wagner hordott össze. Anakronisztikus, embertelen és anti-európai az ő tekintélyelvűen antidemokratikus, rasszista és a nőket megvető öröksége; a múlt olyan sugárzó méregládája, amit nagy felelősséggel hatástalanítani kell. Éppen ezért annyira fontos, hogy a „teljes” Richard Wagnerrel foglalkozzunk, és ne csupán csábos zenéjével. Önimádó, destruktív, embertelen viselkedésével és gondolkodásával Wagner homlokegyenest szemben áll mindazzal, amit az emberséges, szolidáris társadalom jellemez. Ezzel mindazok bálványa és szószólója lett, akik Németországot és Európát baljóslatú útra vezették. Hosszú és intenzív munka eredménye, hogy kritikus szemmel nézek Richard Wagnerre, a Bayreuther Festspielére és a Wagner-klánra. Bayreuthban a Wagner-tömjénezés közepette nőttem fel. Fiatal koromban eldugott filmtekercseket találtam, amelyek a családomat derűs együttlétben mutatták Adolf Hitlerrel, ezután kérdéseket kezdtem feltenni az apámnak – ezekre azonban semmiféle választ nem kaptam. Nagyon alaposan foglalkoztam Richard Wagnerrel és hatásával, zenetörténészként, családtagként és dédunokaként. Mindenekelőtt a személyes élmények és tapasztalatok tettek egyre kritikusabbá. Hátat fordítottam Bayreuthnak, a zsidó Kurt Weil zenéjéből doktoráltam, és számos nácik által üldözött emberrel találkoztam – mindez alapvetően meghatározta a gondolkodásomat és az érzéseimet.”
