Mountainish


A narrator and her dog are criss-crossing the Swiss Alps. She travels with friends who share her interest in food, languages and their topographical contexts. They collect colours, even look for colourlessness, and develop the idea of a walk-in diary, a vain attempt to archive their observations.Gradually, other mountains appear in their observations and memories, as do the mountains of literature and art. Mountains may be sites of fear and awe, of narrow-mindedness, racism and ever-looming collapse; Alpine lodges may be places of hospitality, retreat and unexpected encounters; of nature under threat.In 515 notes, Zsuzsanna Gahse unfolds a finely woven interplay between her six characters while giving us a vivid panorama of mountain worlds, a multi-layered typology of all things mountainish.

On the Grid


'On the Grid is incredibly special. I loved every thoughtfully written word' Will Buxton  'Luke is one of the foremost journalists within the paddock. His book draws the curtain back on our sport... Very few titles have covered the stories of the unsung members of the F1 community in this level of detail and with such vibrancy' Toto Wolff 'Even if you think you know everything there is to know about Formula 1, you'll learn something within these pages'GP Racing  Formula 1 might only have twenty drivers in its most elite competition, but each is supported by a world-class team of mechanics, engineers, strategists, party planners and much more. In On the Grid journalist Luke Smith takes us behind the scenes of the past, present and future of the sport, telling its story through the eyes of the people who create it, including the all-important fans.   We see thrilling drama, cutting-edge technology, the stress and the glamour. Smith takes us to the starting grid, full of engine fumes and sweat, to yacht parties in Monaco and to the pit lane for the critical mid-race decisions. We see how a fifty-pence screw in the wrong place could cause a £15m car to break down, how F1 has influenced not just the cars we drive but life-saving medical equipment and even croissants, how you create a Grand Prix track from scratch.  On the Grid shows us what it’s like to work in a high-pressure and inherently dangerous sport; showcases the personalities that give it such drama and intrigue; examines how the sport is addressing its critics around inclusivity and environmental impact. For both long-time fans and newcomers, what results is the definitive, access-all-areas account of what makes F1 stand alone in world sport.

Lovecké příběhy z Beskyd


Příběhy myslivců a jejich psích kamarádů Není pro myslivce krásnější chvíle, než se procházet ztichlým lesem ve společnosti jediného opravdového přítele – loveckého psa. Autor vypráví zejména příběhy zkušených loveckých psů, starých mazáků, kteří se vyznají v lese a v lovu. Příběhy psů s krví čistou jak křišťál, ale i těch, jejichž krev je naředěna všelijakými příměsemi psů obyčejných, přesto si na lovecké stezce nezadají. Jsou to i málo pravdě podobné příběhy o psech s očima ohnivýma a se srstí černou jako noc. Ne nadarmo se říká, že pes je nejlepším přítelem člověka. O to pevnější je vazba mezi loveckým psem a jeho pánem – myslivcem. Výraz pán není nejpříhodnější, spíš přítel. Jedno je jisté: pokud budou lovci a lovečtí psi, bude mezi nimi existovat obdivuhodné pouto přátelství. Kachny, polekané výstřelem, vytáčely ve vzduchu široký oblouk, rychle se dostávaly mimo střelecké pole. Viktor se musel za letkou pootočit. Zamířil, potáhl hlaveň po směru letu, stiskl kohoutek… Dřevo lávky, na které stál, bylo zpuchřelé. Střelec nedržel loveckou pušku příliš pevně, pažba ho tvrdě udeřila do čelisti, rána ho srazila do vody. Poslední, co viděl, bylo, jak se Lusy v mohutném skoku vzpíná nad hladinou rybníka. Voda jí z dlouhé srsti crčí jako napěněný závoj, slechy napřímené, tělo vypjaté do oblouku, mordu dychtivě rozevřenou okamžik předtím, než uchopí výstřelem sraženou kachnu. Voda byla nepříjemná, hrozně studená. Ten protivný pocit Viktor vnímal celým tělem. Nejhorší však bylo, že pod hladinou ztratil orientaci, kudy nejblíž ke břehu. Ztěžklé oblečení ho táhlo ke dnu. Takhle umřít jsem nechtěl, napadlo ho, takhle ne. Stále se nemohl dostat nad hladinu. Pak se přece odrazil od bahnitého dna. Konečně se jedna ruka, pak druhá dobývala nad hladinu, ale to už ho zase táhlo mokré oblečení ke dnu, nezadržitelně klesal níž. Když se napůl omráčený Viktor znovu přiblížil k hladině, ucítil, jak se mu cosi zahryzlo do límce. To byla Lusy. Nechala střelenou kachnu kachnou a přispěchala Viktorovi na pomoc…

Living with Lynx


This book investigates a vital and controversial question for conservation and rewilding in Britain and Ireland: could and should we learn to live with lynx, wolves and bears again? We travel back in time, around the world and into the future to explore this contested topic. The author delves deep into the human psyche, considering not only his own mixed feelings about large carnivore reintroductions but also why people have such polarised perspectives on top predators. He brings his unique combination of expertise on snow leopards ? and their relationship with humans ? along with his experience as a farmer to illustrate the discussion. Along the way, we meet a cast of characters from across society, including farmers, rewilders and everyone in between. It becomes clear that coexistence is as much about sharing landscapes with each other as it is about sharing them with wildlife. The first book to tackle this subject in detail, based on more than 50 interviews in/from seven countries, Coexistence will be of relevance to anyone with an interest in the future of nature, farming and the countryside. Personal, detailed, unflinching and engaging, it will add a great deal to this rapidly evolving debate.

When Wedge Had The Edge


This bookcelebrates the striking wedge cars that first appeared at the 1968 Paris MotorShow. A surreal wedge-shaped sculpture of steel, glass, and layers of scalymetal astounded show-goers with its daring shape and extraordinary form. TheAlfa Romeo Carabo was an exercise in lateral thinking at just about everylevel. With headlamps covered by retractable slats and, for the first time,doors that opened with scissor action, the Carabo rewrote the rules ofautomobile design, kick-starting an avalanche of wedge forms — a trend thatremained in vogue for the best part of the next two decades.  A bold departurefrom traditional automotive design, captivating the imagination and emphasizingsharp lines, low profiles and angular contours, the wedge shape, characterizedby a sharply tapered front end that widens towards the rear, was not merely a stylisticchoice, but a reflection of advances in aerodynamics and engineering. Byminimizing drag and improving stability at high speeds, these cars demonstrateda commitment to performance and efficiency. How the motorcar designersgradually moved towards the wedge shape is described in this book whichculminates in a celebration of the many variations that can be seen today.

The Agritopianists


A precise history of Japan’s agriculture-based communitarian projects and the utopian theories that have motivated the country’s social changesAs a part of his research series on the historical practices of communitarian utopias in different countries, Ou Ning''s new book, The Agritopianists, focuses on the labor experiments of intellectual groups in 20th-century Japan’s rural areas. From the collective Atarashiki-mura (New Village) Movement initiated by Mushakoji Saneatsu, through many other individual semiagricultural life practices of Japanese writers and artists, the book traces the emergence of a shared agricultural fundamentalism that informed and evolved into the active political interventions of later years. Ou Ning combines original field investigation with a close reading of the historical archives to construct a narrative spanning period and geographies that is always attentive to specific detail. The Agritopianists takes the reader to the historical scene and asks them to consider its relevance to today’s urgent questions of ways of living and planetary thinking. Among the many histories of utopian thought and experiments, this is a unique rethinking of environmental possibilities through geographical and cultural differences.Ou Ning (born 1969) is a poet, writer, curator, filmmaker, editor, researcher, activist and founder of the utopian villages Bishan Commune and School of Tillers. In 2004 he cofounded the Alternative Archive with artist Cao Fei. He has edited several journals including The Voice, Modern Chinese Poetry, Filmakers and Chutzpah!. He taught at GSAPP, Columbia University, and worked as the chief curator of the 2009 Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture.
