Una exploración de la comunicación con los pájaros y las lecciones que pueden ensenarnos• Discute técnicas específicas del habla de los pájaros y ofrece revelaciones sobre muchas especies• Revisa la larga tradición de la “aviterapia” a través de la historia y en la literatura y las artes• Explica cómo hablar con los pájaros a través de sus cantos restablece la paz, calma la ansiedad y mejora la saludDurante décadas, Alan Powers ha estudiado las vocalizaciones de los pájaros, desarrollando la notable habilidad de imitar sus cantos y lograr que respondan y hasta cambien de tono. A lo largo de sus anos de estudio, ha descubierto que las aves pueden ensenarnos importantes lecciones sobre el mundo y sobre nosotros mismos. Como explica Powers, al crear una comunidad entre especies nos acercamos a una red atemporal de interconexión con toda la vida pasada y presente, lo que Giordano Bruno, filósofo del Renacimiento, llamó en latín Uni-versus, el “Todo convertido en Uno”. Al compartir su experiencia en el aprendizaje del habla de los pájaros y sus amplias observaciones sobre las influencias poéticas, espirituales y sanadoras de sus cantos, Powers explora su antiguo lenguaje y la profundidad de su significado. Explica que, para nosotros, hablar con las aves es como entonar una canción, aunque sus trinos están llenos de urgencias y matices, ya sea que se expresen sobre predadores o sobre el clima. Detalla cómo empezó a descubrir el habla de los pájaros, escuchando uno solo cada verano, para aprender sus muchas vocalizaciones y variaciones. Al discutir técnicas específicas, comparte revelaciones sobre la comunicación de muchas especies, incluyendo el discurso complejo e inteligente de los cuervos, la profundidad emocional de las gavias, la mímica de los arrendajos azules y el bello canto del tordo de madera. Powers explora la metafísica involucrada en el lenguaje de los pájaros y los humanos, y revisa la larga tradición de la aviterapia a través de la historia, la literatura y las artes. Además, comparte la presencia de pájaros en los poemas de Shakespeare y Emily Dickinson y en canciones de amor de todo el mundo, y examina cómo escritores famosos—de la altura de Keats, Catulo, san Francisco de Asís y el historiador francés Jules Michelet—encontraron que hablar con aves mejoraba sus estados mentales. Asimismo, explica que hablar con el lenguaje canoro de los pájaros puede restablecer la paz, calmar la ansiedad y mejorar la salud.

*THE INCREDIBLE COMEBACK STORY OF THE 2025 MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPION*Marc Márquez is the apex predator of the MotoGP world: arguably the greatest motorcycle racer who ever lived, he is a nine-time world champion. He is the man who dethroned Valentino Rossi, and who changed the sport of MotoGP forever. Márquez's hyper aggressive riding style has made him many enemies, his epic championship battle with Valentino Rossi in 2015 led to one of the most controversial moments in the history of MotoGP and his closely-fought battle with his brother, Alex, for the 2025 title capped off an astonishing sporting comeback story. But his story off the track is just as incredible: devastating accidents, surgeries and recoveries, racing on despite a diagnosis that left him knowing one more head injury could leave him blind. His self-admittedly ruthless personality and desire to win make him an explosive, dominant and at times controversial character. Told by bestselling author Stuart Barker, with the insight of rivals, team members, pundits, managers and many close to his story, this is the a story of pure sporting theatre and white-knuckle speed twinned with real human drama. Marc Marquez: Everything or Nothing is the Márquez told in full for the very first time.

LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION 2025'Reading Hannah’s story, compellingly told, you will fall in love with these increasingly endangered birds, true masters of the sky.’ Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE ?The inspirational story of a bird lover who became a nature-warrior in a David v Goliath battle to save swifts from extinction.  Nature Needs You tells the compelling story of how Hannah, without campaigning experience, funding or contacts, set out to save swifts from extinction in the UK. Her mission is to change the law and make ‘swift bricks’ mandatory so that the birds who nest in our walls will have a future in Britain. Nature Needs You delves into the highs and lows of trying to win hearts and minds, grab the news agenda with her naked Feather Speech, win Caroline Lucas and Lord Zac Goldsmith’s support, navigate meetings with Secretaries of State and debates in the Houses of Parliament, survive the trolling and midnight self-doubt and raise a petition with the requisite 100,000 signatures for a Parliamentary debate. At stake, with a decline in numbers of over 60% since 1995, are the birds who have become our symbol of summer, the swifts screaming in the skies above us. Steeped in love for the wild, by a talented writer, Nature Needs You is a clarion call to save the nature on our doorsteps and to prove that passion can be a superpower in bringing change to nature-depleted Britain. Raw, funny, self-deprecating and unstoppable in turn, this is nature writing with the pace of a thriller. Hannah is now knocking at the door of the new Labour Secretary of State for Housing, in the hope that, where Rishi Sunak and Michael Gove failed, Angela Rayner and Matthew Pennycook will save our swifts. ‘I applaud Hannah’s book; her inner steel and her sassy take on conservation are inspiring. I am so heartened that there are courage-driven young women holding nature in the light so that it WILL be seen by the powerful.’ Mary Colwell, author of Curlew Moon ‘This book might make you scream. It is the story of a fight that started with a promise to a small bird. It is about bird spirit and the spirit of a very singular human. Hannah Bourne-Taylor has a searing eye for both truth and charlatans.‘ Keggie Carew, author of Beastly ‘A wonderful book that will make you furious, hopeful and inspired by turns. Buy it, read it and then become an activist yourself.’ Roger Morgan-Grenville, author of Shearwaters

Anglers knee-deep in Alberta's mountain streams after the First World War understood that there was something wrong. Coal mining, forestry, and irrigation were industrializing landscapes. Roads and railways brought unprecedented numbers of people to remote fishing grounds. Once home to abundant runs of cutthroat, mountain whitefish, and bull trout, the Bow, Highwood, and Oldman Rivers, and their many high mountain tributaries, were in crises. Up and down the Eastern Slopes, anglers rallied to defend their watersheds. The ensuing fish fights were not peaceful. Deep disagreement on tributary closures, open season dates, environmental protection, regulation and enforcement raged among fishers. But despite their disputed viewpoints, Alberta's anglers agreed to advocate fiercely for the conservation of their rivers and streams. Troubled Tributaries reveals for the first time the work—and the controversy—of fisheries conservation in the Eastern Slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains from 1900 to 1930. It is a story of passion and commitment, of the struggle to balance nature's use and preservation, and of people coming together even when divergent viewpoints threatened to break them apart. This is the story of the first round in the great fight to save Alberta's western trout kingdoms.

Ambassador Antonín Panenka Fotbalový svět i jeho samotný fanoušek se poměrně často ptají: Kdo že je skutečně nejlepším jedincem v historii fenomenální hry, která se před půldruhým stoletím narodila v Anglii a postupně ovládla planetu Zemi a v roce 1930 započala éru 22 světových šampionátů. A obsažná kniha nás jimi provede. Od Uruguaye až po Katar 2022, poznáme mistrovské týmy a s nimi největší hvězdy jednotlivých mistrovství včetně famózních kanonýrů. A kdo je opravdu nejlepším fotbalistou historie? PELÉ – vysloví jméno fotbalového poloboha polovina fanoušků, vždyť třikrát přivedl Brazílii ke Zlaté Niké (1958, 1962, 1970), dobrá čtvrtina doslova vynese do nebe fantoma MARADONU, kapitána argentinského triumfu v roce 1986. Autor v knize oběma věnuje speciální přílohu VELIKÁNI. Současně vyslechneme názory, že tihle dva zcela výjimeční plejeři dominovali fotbalu zejména ve svém období, ale že od jejich času se hra a výkonnost a umění hráčů neporovnatelně posunuly. Nejlepšími z nejlepších jsou přece ti, kteří jsou nejlepší právě dnes. A těmi vyvolenými jsou bezpochyby CRISTIANO RONALDO a LIONEL MESSI, pětinásobný resp. osminásobný (!) držitel Zlatého míče. Myslí si to také Iker Casillas, který se ve volném čase intenzivně zabývá filozofií. „Ti dva jsou z jiné planety. Přemohli, co bylo, a předběhli to, co bude. Mají vlastní úroveň, společný level přístupný jen jim, o spoustu pater výš, než jsou všichni ostatní,“ zní výrok mistra světa a dvojnásobného evropského šampiona. Má hloubku a sílu a vyjadřuje reálnou skutečnost. Gólmanská ikona potvrzuje, že je dnes při veškeré úctě k legendám zpochybnitelný názor, že nejlepšími fotbalisty historie jsou právě Pelé či Maradona. Ano, stali se legendami. Ve své éře, podobně jako Alfredo di Stéfano či Johan Cruijff, vyčnívají vysoko nad ostatními, ale k současným géniům, Cristianovi a Lionelovi, je těžko můžeme přirovnávat, a vůbec – takové měření, které dělí tři desítky let až půlstoletí, je velmi obtížné. Alespoň je ale zřejmé, že Pelé, Maradona, Ronaldo a Messi jsou ikonami fotbalu. Až po nich následující výjimeční muži, které můžeme pojmenovat vládci desetiletí. V padesátých letech udivuje svět Alfredo di Stéfano, po boku Pelého září černá perla z Mosambiku, Eusébio. Sedmdesátá léta zase patří Johanu Cruijffovi a Franzi Beckenbauerovi. V „osmdesátkách“ vynikají společně s Maradonou Michel Platini a Marco van Basten, o desetiletí později udivují Italové, Paolo Maldini s Robertem Baggiem, na počátku nového věku jsou skvělí držitelé Světového poháru Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo. A my můžeme být hrdí, že mezi nejlepší fotbalisty historie náleží také dva čeští držitelé Zlatého míče: JOSEF MASOPUST, souputník Pelého, a PAVEL NEDVĚD, opravdový fotbalový gladiátor, a s nimi samozřejmě JOSEF BICAN, autor rekordních 821 soutěžních gólů. Slavného Pepiho překonali pouze Cristiano (965) a Lionel (905), megahvězdy bez limitů. Tři Čechoslováci či Češi v první stovce fotbalistů historie! Už nám je nikdo nevezme stejně jako dvě světová stříbra. V roce 1934 je získala generace Františka Pláničky, v roce 1962 „Chilané“ v čele s Masopustem. A nyní máme naději, že na české hvězdy obou slavných šampionátů naváže současné Česko v čele s kapitánem Láďou Krejčím, Patrikem Schickem a Pavlem Šulcem. A tak se s našimi novodobými hrdiny CR7 a LM10 vydejme za jejich slavnými předchůdci a rovněž poznejme jejich možné nástupce Kyliana Mbappého a vycházející star Lamine Yamala, a to také ve speciální příloze VLÁDCI PLANETY FOTBAL. Interesantní a speciální otázka zní: zvedne někdo z nich po šampionátu v Americe 2026 nad hlavu pro každému hráče snový Světový pohár?
