The Aviator
Jim McConnell was one of the first Americans to serve with the French during WWI, first as an ambulance driver and then as a pilot. On the University of Virginia campus, one can find a winged, 12-foot-tall bronze statue titled The Aviator. Curiously, The Aviator is a memorial to a UVA dropout, James Rogers McConnell. McConnell was a fighter pilot in the famous squadron of American volunteers who fought for the French prior to US entry into World War I, the Lafayette Escadrille. Prior to joining the escadrille, McConnell served in France as an ambulance driver. He documented the front, both on the ground and in the air in Flying for France, a bestselling book published just before his death. A modest character, Jim included very little information about himself in his book. Even while at the front, McConnell remained in regular correspondence with his family, friends, and girlfriends. A large volume of these original letters are preserved today. Author Steven T. Tom has sifted through a mountain of primary source material to go beyond Flying for France and tell the full story of the brief but famous life of Jim McConnell.
SOVEREIGNTY - John Mappin - The Restoration of Sanity
Civilizationstands on the brink. Nations betray their people. Psychiatry colonises thehuman mind. Truth itself is pathologised. Yet on the cliffs of Cornwall, in theshadow of Arthurian legend, one man raises a banner against the managed declineof the West. JohnMappin is a sentinel of sovereignty, a modern mythmaker, and, willingly or not,a hero at history's crossroads. Fromhis defiant refusal to turn Camelot into a migrant-processing hotel to hisprophetic wager on Donald Trump's rise, Mappin has become a lightning rod forglobal battles; nationhood versus globalism, courage versus conformity, truthversus the psychiatric priesthood of lies. His close relationship with CharlieKirk, his friendship with Candace Owens, and his associations with figures suchas Tucker Carlson and Nigel Farage show how his influence reaches acrosscontinents. Author Mike Fairclough observes how Mappin forges connections,bridges worlds, and unites those who still dare to speak truth. Thisbook is not a neutral biography. It is a rallying cry. It traces Mappin'sjourney through hidden networks, fateful alliances, and symbolic acts thatripple across nations. We step inside Camelot's Round Table, where artists,diplomats, scientists, and dissidents gather to speak the truths theestablishment fears. At itscore, Sovereignty: John Mappin and TheRestoration of Sanity is a declaration that philosophy, not politics oreconomics, is the true engine of history. It reveals how psychiatry became thecorrosive creed behind tyranny and war. It shows how myth can still awakennations. And it argues that the Restoration of Sanity begins with reclaimingthe sovereignty of the mind. Arthur. Achilles. Odysseus. Trump. Mappin. The names change. The archetype endures. Theman who stands when others bow. This isa story of myth and memory. Of prophecy and defiance. Of sanity andsovereignty. A story not only about John Mappin, but about whether Britain, andthe West, still have the will to remain free.

The Many Names of Robert Cree
A vital account of the life and many names of Robert Cree, and his plan for a peaceful, sincere, and just path to reconciliation in an angry and chaotic world. His mother called him ''Bobby Mountain.'' Elders called him ''Great Man.'' His people called him ''Chief.'' Oil men called him ''Mr. Cree.'' But the government called him ''Number 53.'' Robert Cree was all of these while facing his people''s oppressors and freeing the ghosts of tortured spirits. The Many Names of Robert Cree is his first-person account of survival in a brutally racist residential school system designed to erase traditional Indigenous culture, language, and knowledge. It is also the story of an epic life of struggle and healing, as Cree takes the wisdom of his ancestors and a message of reconciliation to the halls of government and to industry boardrooms. In the storytelling tradition of his people, Cree recounts his early years in the bush, his captivity at a residential school, his struggles with addiction, his political awakening as one of Canada''s youngest First Nation Chiefs, and the rising Indigenous activism of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. He also recounts the oil industry''s arrival on his poverty-stricken reserve and the ensuing struggle to balance economic opportunity with environmental challenges. Throughout, Cree''s leadership is rooted in his unshakable commitment to the sacred traditional teachings of his people. His beliefs give him the strength to focus on hope, dignity, and building a better future for his community. Now a respected Elder and spiritual leader, Cree champions forgiveness as a powerful force that can bring healing and transformation for all.
Trying
Over the years that Chloe Caldwell had been married and hoping to conceive a child, she''d read everything she could find on infertility. But no memoir or message board reflected her experience; for one thing, most stories ended with in vitro fertilization, a baby or both. She wanted to offer something different. Caldwell began a book. She imagined a selective journal about her experience coping with stasis and uncertainty. Is it time to quit coffee, find a new acupuncturist, get another blood test? Her questions extended to her job at a clothing boutique and to her teaching and writing practice. Why do people love equating publishing books with giving birth? What is the right amount of money to spend on pants or fertility treatments? How much trying is enough? She ignored the sense that something else in her life was wrong that was not on the page... until she extracted a confession from her husband. Broken by betrayal but freed from domesticity, Caldwell felt reawakened, to long-buried desires, to her queer identity, to pleasure and possibility. She kept writing, making sense of her new reality as it took shape. With the candour, irreverence, and heart that have made Caldwell''s work beloved, Trying intimately captures a self in a continuous process of becoming - and the mysterious ways that writing informs that process.

Enzo Ferrari – egy ikon életrajza
Mindenki ismeri a Ferrari nevet, és szinte mindenki hallott már a legendás autómárka névadójáról, a zseniális autóversenyzőről, autótervezőről és üzletemberről, Enzo Ferrariról. Azonban jóval kevesebben ismerik a legenda mögött rejtőző, borzasztóan bonyolult és ellentmondásos embert. Az autóipari veterán és elismert író, Luca Dal Monte monumentális életrajza a legátfogóbb beszámoló arról, hogyan lett Enzo Ferrari az autóversenyzés mestere, majd a modern autógyártás megkerülhetetlen szereplője és egyben a 20. század egyik legfontosabb és legimpozánsabb alakja.
A könyv többéves, Olaszországban és külföldön végzett kutatásokon alapul, és feltárja Enzo Ferrari pályafutásának rejtett aspektusait. Lenyűgöző részletességgel mutatja be a Ferrari vállalat és a csapat belső politikáját, amelyet egy olyan ember vezetett, aki brutális erőszak, paranoia és ravaszság keverékével manipulálta alkalmazottait, versenyzőit, riválisait és a médiát. Mélyrehatóan vizsgálja Ferrari személyes kapcsolatait a nőkkel, különös tekintettel feleségére, Laurára, és szeretőjére, Lina Lardinra.
A kötet oldalain kirajzolódó személyiség rendkívül összetett. Kegyetlen és szégyentelenül vulgáris tudott lenni, de meglepően sebezhető is, aki számtalan tragédiával és katasztrófával küzdött meg hosszú élete során. Akár az üzletben, akár a magánéletben, akár a versenypályán kellett szembenéznie a kihívásokkal, Ferrari soha nem vesztette el alapvető optimizmusát és megingathatatlan hitét az életben és önmagában.
Srdce pralesa
Milovaná matka a svedkyňa evanjelia prinášajúca pokoj a zmierenie do napätých vzťahov a prostredí poznačených bolesťou. Spoznajte príbeh a osobnosť talianskej misionárky Marie Troncatti, ktorá 46 rokov pôsobila v amazonskom pralese v Ekvádore. Mala však aj vrúcny vzťah k Slovensku, lebo spolupracovala so slovenským misionárom Jánom Šutkom. Jeho rodnej sestre – saleziánke Vilme Šutkovej – napísala sestra Maria niekoľko priateľských listov.
Po svätej Márii Dominike Mazzarellovej je Maria Troncatti (1883 – 1969) prvou, ktorú Cirkev uznala za svätú medzi dcérami Márie Pomocnice – saleziánkami.
Ann Shaw
Ann Shaw (1788-1854), the author's ancestor, was hailed by both immigrant and indigenous South Africans as their spiritual mother, the 'Mother of Methodism in South Africa'. However, all accounts of early South African history have erased her influence, including those written by her husband, Rev. William Shaw, the 'Wesley of Africa'. Had something necessitated Ann's removal from the records? With tenacious scholarship, McAlpine-Black discovers Ann's letters, her poetry, and the female threads of the lives that surrounded her-and weaves a family history into an international narrative. Ann Shaw lived at a time when women were discouraged from taking part in church ministry. Despite this, Ann journeyed from the English fens to the African Cape, becoming the most significant female catalyst for Methodism and education in South Africa. Now Methodism is its largest denomination. In addition to the challenges of women's diseases, miscarriage, childbirth, family life, and patriarchy in the early nineteenth century, Ann's story unearths the female roots of Methodism, a fresh and compelling history of South Africa, and the high cost of motherhood.
Za maskou. Tyson Fury - Môj životopis
Manchesterský chlapec z rodu Irish Traveller – Írska rodina cestovateľov s 200 ročnou tradíciou, (preto prezývka CIGÁNSKÝ KRÁĽ) narodený predčasne o tri mesiace a vážiaci len pol kila pri narodení, Tyson (pomenovaný po boxerskom hrdinovi svojho otca MIKE TYSONA) vyrástol a stal sa jedným z najnepravdepodobnejších šampiónov v ťažkej váhe v histórii profesionálneho boxu. Tento „splnený sen“ sa však čoskoro zmenil na nočnú moru, keď konzumácia alkoholu a kokaínu zničila Tysonovi jeho kariéru a boli mu odobraté všetky vybojované tituly a majstrovské opasky. Nasledoval najtemnejší moment jeho života – v tejto knihe je prvýkrát podrobne opísaný – v ktorom bol len pár sekúnd od ukončenia všetkého.
ĽUDOVÝ ŠAMPIÓN.

Ženská práce
Popová historie, jak ji psaly ženy
Příběhy mnoha oblíbených písní v sobě nesou vzrušení, ducha doby a jedinečné osudy. Jsou ale také poznamenané zásadní nerovností ve společnosti. Co je pro muže samozřejmostí, pro ženy pořád znamená výzvu a bitvu navíc. Málokde to je tak zřejmé jako v populární hudbě. Sledovat dráhy zásadních hudebnic od Billie Holiday přes Kate Bush po Björk proto neznamená jen zkoumat vývoj hudby ve dvacátém a současném století — je to také příběh emancipace a sociální změny, která přesahuje hudbu. Kniha Ženská práce líčí dílo i životy řady zpěvaček a autorek, které proměnily hudbu i svět. V příbězích Niny Simone, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, ale také Yoko Ono či Laurie Anderson vypráví o přístupech, tématech a možnostech, které by se bez jejich vůle vystoupit, být nekompromisní nebo zápasit s všemožnými okolnostmi nikdy do dnešní hudební krajiny nepromítly. Kniha Pavla Klusáka svědčí o tom, že popkultura je výmluvným odrazem světa, jeho bitev a proměn, a zároveň poukazuje na množství báječné a inspirativní hudby důležitých autorek, která dodnes oslovuje široké posluchačstvo bez ohledu na gender.

Only God Can Judge Me
New York Times bestselling author Jeff Pearlman turns his sharp eye and meticulous storytelling to one of pop culture?s most enduring and enigmatic figures?Tupac Shakur?presenting the definitive retelling of his life, complete with explosive new details. Scrutinized in life, mythologized in death, Tupac Shakur remains a subject of immense cultural significance and speculation nearly thirty years after his murder. Despite a multitude of books, documentaries, and even a feature film, much about Tupac?s story remains shrouded and misunderstood. Like many icons who died tragically young, Tupac the man has long been obscured?his edges sanded down, his complexity numbed?by the competing agendas that surround his legacy.In Only God Can Judge Me, accomplished biographer and cultural historian Jeff Pearlman tackles his most nuanced subject, telling the definitive story of Tupac Shakur in unprecedented depth. In this authoritative look at Tupac?s life, Pearlman skillfully recreates West Coast hip hop in all its glory, going inside Death Row Records and on the sets of movies like Juice and Poetic Justice to offer the most clear-eyed rendering to date of the man who still casts a shadow over modern hip hop. But more than just a biography of a complicated figure, Only God Can Judge Me also captures the time and place in which Tupac rose, a singular moment in music history when West Coast hip hop became a phenomenon and transformed popular music.Featuring nearly seven hundred original interviews and never-before-published details from every corner of Tupac?s life, the result offers a truly singular portrait of one of modern pop culture?s most towering figures. Guided by the voices of those who knew and lived life alongside him, Only God Can Judge Me captures the layers of a man who, even thirty years after his death, remains as elusive as ever.
Three Years On Fire
The third volume of Kurkov’s critically acclaimed, intimate and deeply moving war diaries: a poignant, personal account of life under siege in Ukraine – rich with humanity, dark humour, and unforgettable resilience amidst devastation. “Clever, passionate” The Times “The pieces are flawlessly structured; the tone is devoid of self-pity … Yet saturating the book is a note of savage black comedy, the farce of a world made weird by unimaginable violence” Spectator “Uplifting and utterly defiant” Daily Express “No-one with the slightest interest in this war, or the nation on which it is being waged, should fail to read Andrey Kurkov” Daily Mail ______ Andrey Kurkov’s war diaries continue – a searing, deeply human portrait of a nation reshaped by war. In this third volume of Andrey Kurkov’s war diaries, Ukraine’s greatest living writer chronicles the third year of the full-scale invasion from his home in Kyiv and from journeys all over the country – capturing moments of horror, resilience, absurdity and grace with unmatched clarity. Children on a contested border wear hooded bulletproof vests to school; soldiers write haiku; professional clowns go to war; and the mother of a young soldier, killed in battle, uses his compensation money to create a rehabilitation centre for veterans. Roses bloom across Ukraine in quiet tribute to a florist and soldier killed in Avdiivka, remembered by those who once bought his flowers. The Dnipro River seems to slow when the first missiles fall, as though nature itself had paused in shock. In Pokrovsk, 7,500 residents refuse to leave a city that no longer exists – their homes obliterated but their will unbroken. A general’s seventeen-year-old pet toad becomes an iconic symbol of defiance. And buried beneath a cherry tree, a murdered writer’s final diary is recovered, a haunting echo of a silenced voice. From the home front to the trenches, Kurkov captures the rhythms of survival – the quiet rituals, unlikely joys, unexpected humour and appalling costs – in an intimate and deeply moving record of national endurance. Three Years on Fire is a luminous act of remembrance, rich with unforgettable detail and human spirit, from a writer whose voice stands witness to everything Ukraine has lost – and everything it refuses to give up. From the international bestselling author of The Stolen Heart, Death and the Penguin and The Grey Bees ______ Praise for Andrey Kurkov’s war diaries “Andrey Kurkov [is] one of the most articulate ambassadors to the West for the situation in his homeland,” Sam Leith, Spectator “Immediate and important … From the grim incredulity at Russians massing on the border to the displacement of millions of people, this is an insider's account of how an ordinary life became extraordinary. It is also about survival, hope and humanity,” Helen Davies, The Times “Ukraine’s greatest novelist is fighting for his country,” Giles Harvey, New York Times “The author's on-the-ground account is packed with surprising details about the human effects of the Russian assault ... His voice is genial but also impassioned, never more so than when deploring Putin's efforts to erase Ukrainian culture and history. Ukraine, he says, ‘will either be free, independent and European, or it will not exist at all’. That's why the war has to be fought, with no concession of territory. And he remains quietly hopeful that it will be won,” Blake Morrison, Guardian
Misunderstood
A compelling and candid memoir from Allen Iverson, the NBA’s most misunderstood Hall of Famer, detailing his tough childhood in Virginia, his entry into the league as the number one overall pick, and his controversial, culture-changing pro basketball career. In Misunderstood, Allen Iverson shares in searing clarity and touching candor his meteoric rise from impoverished child in the Virginia projects to high school champion to Georgetown University protégé of legendary coach John Thompson, and finally to NBA All-Star and Reebok’s Vice President of Basketball. Allen Iverson is a household name—Boomers and Gen Xers watched his decades-long run as a scrappy, tenacious basketball player on the Philadelphia 76ers who redefined the sport’s style (both fashion-wise and playing-wise), while millennials and Gen Zers are perhaps more familiar with his Reebok line’s resurgence in popularity, his callout in Post Malone’s viral hit “White Iverson,” and for being the namesake of Kendall Roy’s son on Succession. Part athletic legend, part fashion icon, part hip-hop muse, Iverson was one of the first celebrities to fuse lifestyle, culture, and sports. But while everyone may know his name, few have seen behind the curtain on Iverson’s tumultuous life. Misunderstood lifts the veil and brings you into the mind of the pugnacious, ultra-talented misfit whose foremost goal, more than fame or fortune, was always to lift his family and friends out of poverty and violence. In his memoir, Iverson explores how he completely shattered the mold dictating what an NBA star could be in the 1990s and 2000s, all while dealing with legal troubles and personal traumas that only contributed to his sense of individualism and star power. This is the unforgettable story of a trailblazer who not only changed the game of basketball but rewrote the rules of what it means to rise, fall, and rise again while staying unapologetically true to himself.
