*THE HEARTBREAKING, FUNNY AND SHOCKINGLY HONEST MEMOIR FROM ANTHONY KAVANAGH, AKA 90S POP STAR AND HEARTTHROB, KAVANA* 'My name is Anthony, but some people know me as Kavana or Kav. I've been called a pop star, a has-been, a heartthrob and a mess. I've been all of them. I once thought fame would give me everything I wanted. Wrong wish. This is my story about life as a 90s pop star, a lost decade in Hollywood, addiction, homelessness, and what it's like being an outsider, desperately trying to get back into a world that's moved on without you. But when things fall apart, it doesn't always mean it's the end. Sometimes it can be the making of you, just not the version you expected.' Pop Scars is a story told with fearless honesty that's as funny as it is heartbreaking, chronicling the highs, the lows and the chaos of hitting rock bottom and then finding out that rock bottom has a basement.

A contender for the G.O.A.T. - the greatest of all time - Jeff Beck left an indelible mark on rock history. His sudden loss in 2023 prompted an outpouring of grief and respect from his peers that only underlined his place in the pantheon of legendary guitar slingers. Not many could have filled the shoes of Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds, but for Beck it only marked the beginning of a trailblazing career that defied expectation and labels. From the wedding pop of Hi Ho Silver Lining through the ground-breaking proto-metal of the Jeff Beck Group, and from the landmark jazz rock recorded of the mid-seventies to the cutting-edge electronica of the 21st century Beck never stood still. Across it all, as he seemed to deliberately swerve the straitjacket of megastardom, his genius as an instrumentalist remained constant. In Blow by Blow, Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill provide fresh insight and understanding into life of one of rock's most enigmatic heroes. Drawing on nearly thirty hours of interviews with Beck himself, numerous conversations with those closest to him, and extensive new research, they shed light on the man and musician Jimmy Page once said had "shifted the whole sound and face of electric guitar music."

Or survive. - Tropes: Enemies to Lovers Second Chance Chosen One Found Family Slow Burn Forced Proximity Older FMC Professor x Student Secret/Hidden Identity

Apollónovo strastiplné putování pokračuje! Kdysi mocný bůh Apollón, nyní ale puberťák jménem Lester Papadopoulos, pokračuje v napravování svých chyb. A Zeus mu dává co proto. Poslal ho osvobodit pět pradávných zdrojů proroctví z moci tří ďábelských římských imperátorů. Navíc dopustil, že si ho zotročila paličatá polobožská holka jménem Meg! S pomocí přátel se Apollónovi povedlo přežít první dvě martyria. Teď ale musí s Meg vstoupit do zrádného labyrintu a najít třetího imperátora, který je přímo zosobněním vraždy, mučení, šílenství a výstřednosti. Vyhnaného olympského boha čeká ten nejbídnější, nejtrapnější a nejstrašnější týden za jeho více než čtyři tisíce let dlouhý život!

At the age of sixteen, Mary Powell marries poet John Milton. Their marriage, which plays out during the Civil War, is not one of love, but rather a practical arrangement that proves to be a devastating mismatch of temperaments and convictions. Her Royalist sympathies and his ardent parliamentarianism, her independence, and his austere way of life, 1640s England is a hotbed of clashing ideologies and so too is this marriage. The story, which unfolds in Marie''s sensitive and searching journals, is a scathing portrait of one of England''s most famous poets, a story of literary ambition and masculine egoism, and, like all of Graves'' historical novels, a monumental achievement of closely watched history. One the one hand, this is a tender story of the romance Marie Powell found outside the walls of her tyrannical husband''s house. On the other it is also a brilliant account of one of the most breathtaking epochs in English history, when that kingdom was ravaged by a bloody civil war and the tides of fortune swayed from one to the other side of the opposing camps - the King against his parliament, tyranny against freedom - culminating in the dramatic execution of Charles I.

Osud tzv. Transgasu, brutalistního areálu na rozhraní pražského Nového Města a Vinohrad, patří k nejdiskutovanějším památkovým kauzám posledních let. V reakci na plánovanou demolici areálu připravil kolektiv renomovaných specialistů ucelenou monografii, která se zabývá významem stavby a historickými souvislostmi jejího vzniku. Na přípravě knihy se vedle historiků architektury podíleli i sami její tvůrci – architekti a technici, jejichž zkušenosti z projektování, vzpomínky na kolegy i nestandardní týmovou spolupráci dávají vědeckému zhodnocení další rozměr živé osobní výpovědi. V souvislosti s přípravou publikace se autorskému kolektivu naskytla jedinečná příležitost zdokumentovat areál před jeho zánikem. Významnou měrou se proto věnuje stavebně historickému rozboru stavby, text doprovází bohatý fotografický materiál, který zachycuje stav budov Transgasu před demolicí. Rozsáhle je v publikaci uplatněna také plánová dokumentace. Vedle toho je součástí knihy i památkové zhodnocení souboru staveb a připomenutí událostí, jež areál provázely od prvního zveřejnění myšlenky demolice v roce 2017 až do jejího uskutečnění na podzim 2019. Kniha vznikla jako neplánovaný výstup výzkumného projektu NAKI II, který se zaměřuje na dokumentaci a průzkum památkového potenciálu architektury 60. a 70. let 20. století. V rámci projektu dále vyšly publikace věnované nádraží Ostrava-Vítkovice, obchodnímu domu Prior / Kotva a hotelu Intercontinental.

As a young girl in Afghanistan, Zahra disguised herself as a boy just to be able to go to school. Under US occupation, opportunity and freedom flourished and she was able to study law and become a journalist, setting up her own media company. There was hope and belief in a future. But when the Taliban reclaimed power in 2021, decades of progress vanished overnight - and the silencing of women began. The promises of the West were broken. This book tells of this great betrayal, of having the courage to speak out and of the ongoing fight for rights across the world. Now living in exile in London, Zahra refuses to stay silent. The Vanishing Girl of Kabul is not only an eye-opening personal account, but her story becomes a rallying cry for women everywhere whose rights are stripped away. From Afghan girls forbidden to go to school, to women losing control over their bodies, Zahra exposes how the same battle for equality rages on every continent. It is a searing indictment of gender apartheid that is being allowed to continue and a testament to the power of hope, and how we must heed the voices of those who resist.
