Affairs
''Hugely thoughtful and stimulating. . . Can''t fail to leave us with new insights on our lives.'' - Alain de BottonWorking late?Midnight calls?Suspicious texts? One in five of us will have an affair in our lifetimes – but the reasons behind them might not be what you think. Psychotherapist Juliet Rosenfeld shares the secrets, lies and motivations behind real affairs, through the lens of five very different true stories.We meet the man who left his wife in the delivery suite to visit his young mistress and the psychologist who put attraction to a patient above career ethics. We hear from the surgeon who risked everything for someone he''d only ever spoken to online and the previously straight woman who cheated on her husband with a female colleague – and changed all of their lives.In Affairs, this deeply-concealed but exceptionally common aspect of human behaviour is brought out into the light and explored without judgement or shame.True personal stories, ground-breaking research and expert psychological analysis come together to change everything you have ever thought about infidelity.
Lost Moray and Nairn
In Lost Moray and Nairn, Bruce Bishop traces what has been ''lost'' from the old counties of Moray and Nairn, both architecturally and socially. Packed with illustrations of places, buildings and of aspects of life which are now vanished, and containing a history of various elements of life in the area, Bishop illustrates changes in the way of life of the people of the Burghs of Nairn, Forres and Elgin, and in the smaller towns and villages. The effect of these lost elements on the coastal towns is also discussed, with particular focus placed on the demise of the ports of Findhorn, Nairn and Garmouth, and the more recent decline in the fishing industry.His journey trough the region takes him from prehistory to the present day, and examines everything from geology, architecture, agriculture, industry, to communications. Lost Moray and Nairn is an important, illuminating and compelling account and a worthy addition to the Birlinn series.
Contemporary Public Administration in New Zealand
This book provides an up-to-date account of New Zealand public administration, including insider stories of leading reform. Hailed for its distinctiveness and high performance, New Zealand’s radical public service reforms of the 1980s were studied, praised, criticised, and emulated around the world. However, New Zealand has not stood still. The 80s model had tremendous strengths, reducing some problems but also creating new problems and exacerbating others. More recent reforms layered cultural and behavioural approaches on top of earlier changes. This book, co-authored by the former head of the New Zealand public service, describes decades of change, what worked, what didn’t, and what challenges remain.
Adaptace na chlad u člověka
Monografie pojednává o různých aspektech reakce a adaptace lidského organismu na působení chladu se zvláštním zřetelem na chlad extrémní. Tomu jsou vystaveni sportovci (maratonští plavci, horolezci, vodáci, triatlonisté, sportovní otužilci a často také lyžaři), v profesní oblasti pak potápěči, vodní záchranáři, členové horské služby, vojáci, ale i všichni, kteří jsou nuceni pracovat v drsných klimatických podmínkách.
Adaptace na chlad se týká samozřejmě i běžné, nesportující populace - otužování vůči chladu je důležité zejména z hlediska snížení nemocnosti pro akutní respirační choroby. Kniha podává přehled fyziologických pochodů nastupujících jako reakce na celkové působení intenzivního chladového podnětu, zabývá se projevy adaptace na chlad a objasňuje podstatu zvyšování obranyschopnosti organismu otužováním.
Text je určen převážně lékařům, ale též pracovníkům v profesích vyžadujících adaptaci na chlad. Dále pak pedagogům a trenérům sportovců, kteří přicházejí s chladem do styku.
Kompletní průvodce adaptací na zimu a chladné prostředí pro lékaře, sportovce i širokou veřejnost nabízí odpovědi na tyto otázky:
*Které fyziologické procesy stojí za adaptací na chlad?
*Jak funguje lidské tělo v extrémních podmínkách?
*Je otužování jen módní vlna, nebo má smysl pro všechny?
*Jak správně trénovat tělo na chlad a jak tyto poznatky aplikovat ve sportu i v každodenním životě?
*Jaká rizika jsou spojena s chladem - a jak jim předejít?

England
A PROSPECT BOOK OF THE YEAR‘Challenging, forensic, compelling'' SATHNAM SANGHERA‘Pure centrist erotica. A myth-busting chronicle of bad-tempered, Brexit-riven England'' SUNDAY TIMES‘Wonderfully evocative. Too honest, too nuanced and too deep for any party manifesto'' MATTHEW PARRISAfter an election where people voted for a politics that our new Prime Minister describes as ''treading more lightly on people’s lives'', this must-read book charts a gentler course for a country that has suffered the ructions of profound change in recent decades.Some politicians will still talk of restoring an English birthright of liberty and the swashbuckling self-confidence to rule the waves. Others yearn for the old-fashioned morality which they claim once civilised a savage world or want to look inwards to a story of an enchanted island that can stand alone and isolated against the world. But England, by Tom Baldwin, the bestselling biographer of Keir Starmer, and Marc Stears, an influential think tank head, unravels the myths that have distorted ideas of this country and provided ammunition for culture warriors from both left and right. Instead of vainly promising to solve everything all at once, Baldwin and Stears provide clues for how a humbler, less grandiose, set of ideas rooted in real lives can help fix some of the things that have gone so badly wrong in recent years. They travel from muddy fields in the Home Counties to the ports of Plymouth and Hull. They visit the old industrial heartland of Wolverhampton, spend weekends in the worn-down seaside resort of Blackpool, then gaze up the gleaming towers of modernity on the edge of London and the dreaming spires of Oxford. Along the way, they speak with many different people who tell stories of England, including politicians Nigel Farage and David Lammy, campaigner Chrisann Jarrett, playwright James Graham and scientist Sarah Gilbert. What emerges is a startlingly fresh and vivid picture of an old country that belongs to everyone, or at least, to no one in particular.
The Sisterhood
Created in the aftermath of World War II, the Central Intelligence Agency relied on women even as it attempted to channel their talents and keep them down. Women sent cables, made dead drops, and maintained the agency’s secrets. Despite discrimination – even because of it – women who started as clerks, secretaries, or unpaid spouses become some of the CIA’s shrewdest operatives.They were unlikely spies – and that’s exactly what made them perfect for the role. Because women were seen as unimportant, pioneering female intelligence officers moved unnoticed around Bonn, Geneva, and Moscow, stealing secrets from under the noses of their KGB adversaries. Back at headquarters, women built the CIA’s critical archives – first by hand, then by computer. And they noticed things that the men at the top didn’t see. As the CIA faced an identity crisis after the Cold War, it was a close-knit network of female analysts who spotted the rising threat of al-Qaeda – though their warnings were repeatedly brushed aside.After the 9/11 attacks, more women joined the agency as a new job, targeter, came to prominence. They showed that data analysis would be crucial to the post-9/11 national security landscape – an effort that culminated spectacularly in the CIA’s successful effort to track down bin Laden in his Pakistani compound.Propelled by the same meticulous reporting and vivid storytelling that infused Code Girls, The Sisterhood offers a riveting new perspective on history, revealing how women at the CIA ushered in the modern intelligence age, and how their silencing made the world more dangerous.
The Nazi Mind
How could the Nazis have committed the crimes they did? Why did commandants of concentration and death camps willingly - often enthusiastically - oversee mass murder? How could ordinary Germans have tolerated the removal of the Jews? In THE NAZI MIND, bestselling author Laurence Rees combines history and the latest research in psychology to help answer some of the most perplexing questions surrounding the Second World War and the Holocaust. Ultimately, he delves into the darkness to explain how and why these people were capable of committing the worst crime in the history of the world.
Queen Victoria and her Prime Ministers
A Daily Mail Best History Book of the Year; A Spectator Best Book of the Year It is generally accepted that Queen Victoria reigned but did not rule. This couldn’t be more wrong. In Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers, Anne Somerset masterfully traces Victoria’s political evolution, from headstrong teenager to seasoned octogenarian. This book demonstrates her passionate involvement in state affairs, and casts fresh light on her relationships with her ten prime ministers. Victoria herself acknowledged that when it came to ‘likes and dislikes’ of her prime ministers, ‘she had them very strongly’. She showed girlish adoration for her first Prime Minister, the worldly-wise Lord Melbourne, whose delightful conversation and kindly guidance enchanted her. Later in her reign, Benjamin Disraeli – who flattered her shamelessly, tirelessly praising her sagacity and judgement and filling her life with ‘poetry, romance and chivalry’ – became her favourite. While she developed a powerful bond with several of her Prime Ministers, in other cases the relationship fell little short of mutual detestation. Victoria’s keenest antipathy was reserved for Disraeli’s great rival, the Liberal William Gladstone. When he became prime minister for a fourth time at the age of 82, Victoria declared it ‘a bad joke’ that this ‘dangerous old fanatic’ should be ‘thrust down her throat’. Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers charts the bitter clashes and affectionate interactions Victoria had with her ten premiers in often hilarious detail. Drawing extensively on unpublished sources such as material from the Royal Archives and never-before-seen prime ministerial papers, it casts a fresh and highly illuminating perspective not just on Victoria, but on the exceptionally able politicians who served her in government.
Lost Aberdeen: The Freedom Lands
This, the final volume in Diane Morgan’s acclaimed Lost Aberdeen trilogy, is a fascinating, ground-breaking account of the west side of the city. The Stocket Lands and the adjoining Lands of Rubislaw, both Crown grants dating from the fourteenth century, form the greatest part of the urban section of the Freedom Lands, stretching in a vast semi-circle from the Low Stocket (Westburn Road) in the north to the South parks of Rubislaw (Great Western Road) in the south.We discover not only land improvement and great mansions, but the unexpected, from Turkish baths to aircraft manufacture, and a bevy of Scottish Enlightenment polymaths – Dr Hamilton, Professor Copland, and the Rev Skene Keith, the cultured Sheriff Dauney, his near neighbour, Francis Peacock, doyen of the performing arts, and that dilettante par excellence James Skene, who south to metamorphose his unpromising Lands of Rubislaw into an Edinburgh of the North and in so doing set in train the development of Aberdeen’s golden West end.Featuring period photographs, illustrations and maps, Lost Aberdeen: The Freedom Lands uncovers the forgotten hamlets and communities that make up this large area of the modern city.

Ghosts of Iron Mountain
How did America end up trapped in a nightmare of conspiracy theories, in which millions see the government as an evil ‘deep state’?In 1967, at the height of the Vietnam War, a group of New York writers concocted what appeared to be a top-secret government report into what would happen to the USA if permanent global peace broke out. Report from Iron Mountain claimed that winding down America’s vast war-making machinery would wreck the economy and tear society apart, necessitating draconian controls over the population. It was published as non-fiction – and was frighteningly convincing. Journalists tried to find out who had written it. Worried memos reached right up to the president. It became a bestselling cause celebre.Even when the hoax was revealed, many refused to believe it wasn’t real. The Report was seized on by eager figures on the far right and in the militia movement, who insisted that it revealed terrifying government conspiracies to pollute the environment, enslave Americans and even instigate eugenics. And its legacy lives on today.Ghosts of Iron Mountain traces this story through a gallery of vivid characters, from the radical academic C. Wright Mills and the writers E.L. Doctorow, Victor Navasky and Leonard Lewin in 1960s New York, to the far-right impresario Willis Carto, Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, conspiracy theorist Milton William Cooper,L. Fletcher Prouty (the inspiration for ‘Mr X’ in the film JFK), and ranting broadcaster Alex Jones.This is one of the great stories of our time and reveals how nightmares about its own government drove America crazy.
Lost Deeside
Deeside, the southern border of the Northeast shires of Aberdeen and Banff, is very much frontier country – its lonely passes through a barely penetrable mountain range were of massive strategic importance for centuries. The legions of Emperor Septimus Severus came in by Elsick Mounth in the early third century ad, and the B974 Fettercairn–Banchory road marks the way taken by Edward I’s army as it withdrew from the North-east in 1296, as well as the route Macbeth took to his doom two and a half centuries before.In this book, Daniel MacCannell looks at the rich and varied lost legacy of this haunting part of Scotland, from castles, houses, and whole villages to hospitals, illicit stills and even a number of lochs. In addition to tangible things, he also considers much else that has been ‘lost’ from the history, landscape and collective memory of the area – such as forgotten astronomers, inventors, roisterers and rebels; the local Gaelic of the area which has now died out; the wolf, which lived freely there until the 1680s; and the ways of life of past generations of Deeside people. The result is a vivid and stimulating insight into the way Deeside has changed over many hundreds of years.
Lost Argyll
In Lost Argyll, Marian Pallister looks not only at the lost architectural heritage of Argyll but also at its lost industries, ferries, roads, bridges and archaeological monuments. Poltalloch House, for example, built in the 1840s as a monument to commerce and investment, lies ruinous, its owners having stripped it of its roof to avoid paying crippling rates; Campbeltown once bristled with distilleries until a cocktail of economic factors left it with only two whilst others have been subsumed into the modern townscape; little remains of even the jetties at Loch Awe and West Loch Tarbert, two of the busiest waterways in times past.This largely rural county has seen its fair share of forts, castles and mansions rise and fall. Some were destroyed in battle; others simply lost the financial battle to remain standing in the face of increasing taxation. Vernacular architecture has also disappeared: the houses of the fishermen and those in agricultural settlements crumbled in the wake of depredations, clearances, afforestation and government demands on landlords to house tenants in fitting conditions.In this fascinating yet poignant study, Marian Pallister introduces the many varied aspects of lost Argyll, showing how ancient and even relatively modern landscapes have changed inexorably, often with little thought for conservation or preservation.

Húzd meg a határaidat
Többségünknek soha nem tanították meg, hogyan érvényesítse saját érdekeit és miként fejezze ki hatékonyan a vágyait. Sőt, inkább passzív-agresszív viselkedés mögé rejtjük az érzéseinket, megtagadjuk saját igazságainkat vagy addig nyomjuk el érzelmeinket, amíg depressziósak vagy annyira frusztráltak leszünk, hogy felrobbanunk, amivel akár tönkre is teszünk egy nehezen felépített bizalmat és kapcsolatot.
Földünk legsikeresebb és legelégedettebb embereinek van egy közös vonása: asszertívak, vagyis képesek világos, egészséges határokat felállítani, és ezeket kommunikálni. Egyértelműen ez a képesség a legfontosabb tényező, ha arról van szó, hogy egészséges, boldog és önrendelkezéssel teli életet éljünk.
Miket ismerhetsz meg a kötetből:
• Mik a határállítás alapjai?
• Milyen típusai vannak az egészséges határainknak
• Hogyan vezet társfüggőséghez, ha nincsenek meg a határaink
• Melyek azok a rossz minták, amelyekkel eddig próbáltunk rosszul határokat húzni?
• Kik az életünkben a határrombolók?
• Három lépés, amivel felismerheted majd felállíthatod az egészséges határaidat
• Egyedi, határállító terved elkészítése
Ebben a kötetben Terri Cole pszichoterapeuta tehát azokat a különleges készségeket mutatja be, amikkel felhagyhatunk a mások kedvében járásnak (méghozzá bűntudat és dráma nélkül), önmagunk cserben hagyásának, és amikkel képessé válhatunk arra, hogy tudatosan irányítsuk érzelmi, spirituális, fizikai, személyes életünk minden egyes aspektusát. Mivel a határállítás mesterévé válás egy folyamat, Cole a gyakorlatba is átültethető stratégiákat, forgatókönyveket és technikákat mutat be, amelyeket bármely pillanatban használhatunk, amikor csak szükségünk van rájuk.
Ez a könyv azoknak is szól, akik már belefáradtak a túlzott adakozásba, a túlcsinálásba vagy akár a túlérzésbe. Ha már mindent megtettél másokért, főként a saját rovásodra, ajándékozd meg magad a határállítás felszabadító erejével!
Taking Manhattan
‘An informative and thought-provoking history’ The TelegraphIn 1664, England decided to invade the Dutch-controlled city of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. Charles II and his brother, the Duke of York, had dreams of empire, and their arch-rivals, the Dutch, were in the way. But Richard Nicolls, who led the English flotilla bent on destruction, changed his strategy once he began parleying with Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch leader on Manhattan.Bristling with vibrant characters, Taking Manhattan reveals the founding of New York to be an invention: the result not of a violent English takeover, but of clever negotiations that led to the fusing of the multiethnic, capitalistic society the Dutch had pioneered to the power of the rising English empire. But the birth of what might be termed the first modern city is also a story of the brutal dispossession of Native Americans and of the roots of American slavery.Based on newly translated sources, Taking Manhattan shows how the paradox of New York’s origins — boundless opportunity coupled with subjugation and displacement — reflect America’s promise and failure to this day.
Lost Bristol

Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House
