A Personal Journey: 26 Days Traveling The Camino De Santiago
Hi, I’m Stella Stella, and I journaled my epic and personal pilgrimage backpacking through the Camino De Santiago. Originally intended to share this only with a few close friends, my detailed journal is real, and raw (and funny). This beautiful, life altering experience will stay with you forever. I include the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Triumphing over setbacks, this writing captures why everyone has their own Camino.
Be ready, as this may not be what you expect.
PS – If you are planning a Camino, also check out my Packing List.

An Ugly Truth
Award-winning New York Times reporters Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang unveil the tech story of our times in a riveting, behind-the-scenes exposé that offers the definitive account of Facebook's fall from grace.
Once one of Silicon Valley's greatest success stories, for the past five years, Facebook has been under constant fire, roiled by controversies and crises. It turns out that while the tech giant was connecting the world, they were also mishandling users' data, allowing the spread of fake news, and the amplification of dangerous, polarising hate speech.
Critics framed the narrative as the irreconcilable conflict between the platform's lofty mission to advance society by bringing people together while also profiting off of them. The company, many said, had simply lost its way. But the truth is far more complex.
Drawing on their unrivalled sources, Frenkel and Kang take readers inside the complex court politics, alliances and rivalries within the company, its growing political influence as well as its skirmishes with privacy groups and the FTC, to shine a light on the fatal cracks in the architecture of the tech behemoth. Their explosive, exclusive reporting led them to a shocking conclusion: The missteps of the last five years were not an anomaly but an inevitability - this is how the platform was built to perform. In a period of great upheaval, growth has remained the one constant under the leadership of Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. Each has stood by as their technology is co-opted by hate-mongers, criminals and corrupt political regimes across the globe, with devastating consequences. In An Ugly Truth, they are at last held accountable.

Interpretace nově získaných pramenů odkrývá bohatou síť souvisejících faktů, událostí a kontaktů, které rekonstruují rámec dobové hudební kultury. Vymezují také roli Jana Nováka a jeho manželky Elišky v propagaci díla Martinů v 50. letech u nás v době, kdy čelil politicky angažované kritice. Monografie se též snaží poukázat na paralely v životě a tvorbě obou skladatelů, ať se jedná o emigraci, evropanství, humanismus nebo vztah k lidové hudbě a divadlu. Kniha, která vychází ke 100. výročí narození Jana Nováka, se snaží přispět k hlubšímu pochopení a docenění díla tohoto významného skladatele, který byl z důvodu emigrace odsouzen k povinné kolektivní amnézii.

A Journey in Other Worlds
What did our ancestors dream of when they gazed up at the stars and looked beyond the present? Wildly imaginative but grounded in reasoned scientific speculation, A Journey in Other Worlds races far ahead of the nineteenth century to imagine what life would be like in the year 2000. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Earth is effectively a corporate technocracy, with big businesses using incredible advances in science to improve life on the planet as a whole. Seeking other planets habitable for the growing human population, the spaceship Callisto, powered by an antigravitational force known as apergy, embarks on a momentous tour of the solar system. Jupiter proves to be a wilderness paradise, full of threatening beasts and landscapes of inspired beauty, where the explorers must fight for their lives. Dangers less tangible but equally deadly await the Callisto crew on Saturn, which yields profound secrets about their fate and the ultimate destiny of mankind. Thoughtful, adventurous, and replete with a dazzling array of futuristic devices, A Journey in Other Worlds is a classic, unforgettable story of utopias and humankind’s restless exploration of the stars.

How To Be an Antiracist
In How To Be An Antiracist Ibram X. Kendi, one of the world's most influential scholars on racism, demolishes the idea of a post-racial society, punctures the myths and taboos that cloud our understanding of racism and presents a radically new approach to tackling it.
He shows how everyone is, at times, complicit in maintaining the structure of racism though we rarely realise it, and gives us the tools to identify and change those behaviours.
Uncompromising but essential, How To Be An Antiracist sparked a new conversation about being an antiracist around the world, showing that until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem.
