More Stories about Buildings & People
These fifteen short stories from Brooke Fieldhouse include six old favourites: the Warner Group prizewinning love story THE GIFT, the liquid nightmare of DROWNING BY NUMBERS and the petrifying tale of immuration RAW CONCRETE.The collection is in three parts: Love, Fear, and Love & Fear, and each story is headed with a colour image taken from original collages by the author.The nine previously unpublished pieces range from the bone chilling THE LILYWHITE BOY, through the heartbreaking story of Deidre’s attempt to achieve immortality by RUNNING WITH THE BULLS, the mysteriously philosophical MINDFULNESS COMPASSION & THE SECOND SEX, to the metaphysical surreal adult fairy tale THERE ISN’T AN OUNCE OF MALICE IN A MOOSE. The group also includes the reconciliatory IN PLAIN SIGHT which was shortlisted for the 2019 Fiction Factory Prize, and the mischievously morbid care home fable A PERFECT LIKENESS which was long-listed for the 2020 Fiction Factory Prize.Fieldhouse dedicates the book to his late parents and elaborates with a brief, thoroughly unsentimental and notably misery-free memoir and a haunting Afterword.
Vagabond Soul
Vagabond Soul tells the story of a young woman who came of age in the Swinging Sixties and spent the next decade fearlessly traversing the globe in search of romance and adventure. While Carrie Evans’ first memoir, The Fun We Had, traces her peripatetic childhood and teaching career in ten countries, this second volume offers a thoughtful and intimate look at her personal life.Embracing the era’s ethos of Free Love, Carrie launches into adult life with exuberance, fearlessness and a touch of naivety. After reading this book, some may wonder how Carrie is still here to tell her tale. Her youthful adventures are full of risk-taking—some might say recklessness—as she hitches her way across the Continent and embarks on expeditions further afield, entering into many a romantic liaison along the way.Vagabond Soul is a vivid portrait of a life lived boldly. It is a testament to resilience, curiosity and the enduring appeal and consequences of choosing adventure over convention. At times you may be shocked, but you will certainly be entertained and amused as Carrie finds herself in extraordinary situations, only to emerge unscathed and triumphant.
To já jsem uměním
Osamu Dazai patří k nejvýraznějším a nejčtenějším autorům moderní japonské literatury. Výbor To já jsem uměním jej představuje v celé šíři jeho tvorby: jako nemilosrdného pozorovatele vlastních slabostí, ironického glosátora literárního světa, originálního vypravěče i temně komického mistra převyprávění.Autobiografické prózy, v nichž se Dazai vrací k tokijským rokům, chudobě, závislostem, láskám, vině i pocitu vykořenění, se zde potkávají s nápaditými adaptacemi japonských pohádek, čínských motivů i biblického příběhu. V každém textu se přitom znovu a znovu objevuje autorovo zraněné, pochybující a zároveň neobyčejně bystré „já" - někdy tragické, jindy groteskní, vždy však bolestně živé.To já jsem uměním je pronikavý a překvapivě vtipný výbor povídek, které česky doposud knižně nevyšly; povídky spisovatele, který dokázal ze své vnitřní nejistoty, zoufalství i sebezničující ironie vytvořit literaturu mimořádné síly. Knihu doplňuje doslov překladatelky Veroniky Abbasové, přibližující Dazaiův život, tvorbu i místo v dějinách japonské literatury.

Dedskull
Is Britain the most doom-ridden it''s ever been? It may feel that way. But it’s a tie.Between famine and plague, revolt and reinvention, Dedskull is a collection of interlinked tales set in Northamptonshire between 1315 and 1348, each following the elusive soldier, Dedskull, as he drifts through moments of crisis, bearing witness to how ordinary people respond when survival is at stake.Drawing on real events and legends, the stories explore brutal winters, social unrest, economic experiments, environmental destruction, and the first stirrings of the modern world. Dedskull is sometimes saviour, sometimes judge, sometimes merely observer, tipping the balance between disaster and survival… or not.
Azbest v pracovním prostředí a jeho zdravotní účinky
Kniha Azbest v pracovním prostředí a jeho zdravotní účinky nabízí ucelený pohled na pracovnělékařskou problematiku azbestu – materiálu, který se po desetiletí využíval v průmyslu, stavebnictví i dalších odvětvích. Díky svým mimořádným vlastnostem – odolnosti vůči vysokým teplotám, pevnosti a chemické stabilitě – byl azbest považován za revoluční materiál. Postupné odhalení jeho škodlivých účinků na lidské zdraví však změnilo stanovisko na jeho využívání a vedlo k výrazným regulacím a postupnému zákazu v mnoha zemích.
Publikace zahrnuje historii používání azbestu včetně vědeckých poznatků, které vedly k jeho klasifikaci na látku karcinogenní. Čtenáři se rovněž dozví o jednotlivých druzích azbestových vláken a jejich škodlivosti na lidský organismus. V knize jsou podrobně popsána vážná onemocnění spojená s expozicí azbestu, jak nenádorová, jako jsou azbestóza plic a nemoci pleury, tak nádorová onemocnění, především maligní mezoteliom, rakovina plic, hrtanu a vaječníku.
Autoři představují problematiku posuzování profesionality nemocí vzniklých z důvodu expozice azbestovému prachu na pracovišti, tedy nemoci z povolání včetně aktuálních informací v platném seznamu nemocí z povolání.
Část knihy je věnována legislativním opatřením platným v rámci Evropské unie a v České republice vztahujícím se k práci s azbestem. Jsou zde uvedeny zásady pracovnělékařských služeb, které mají za cíl minimalizovat zdravotní rizika a vést k ochraně zdraví zaměstnanců. Zmíněna je i péče o osoby, které již s azbestem nepracují, ale v minulosti byli riziku prachu azbestu vystaveni.
Monografie může být užitečným zdrojem informací nejen pro odborníky z oblasti pracovního lékařství, pneumologie, onkologie, radiologie, hygieny a bezpečnosti práce, veřejného zdravotnictví, ochrany a podpory zdraví při práci, ale i pro studenty těchto oborů.

Hannah Arendt
The long-awaited and revelatory biography of Hannah Arendt ? one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century ? and the story of an intellectual icon whose character and ideas continue to captivate and challenge us to this day.
Born in Germany in 1906 to a Jewish family, Hannah Arendt became a chronicler able to translate personal experience into concise analysis; an analytical thinker who wrested from Plato, Kant, and Heidegger that which seemed eternal yet was of the utmost contemporary relevance; a free spirit who felt an obligation only to her friends, her lovers, and the truth. Arendt's mode of thinking and the sheer range of her interlocutors and influences form an intellectual panorama of the twentieth century that is unparalleled. For her entire life, she refused to think within boundaries ? her teachers, friends, and intellectual allies included Heidegger, Bultmann, Mannheim, Brecht, and Benjamin, to name but a few.
Drawing on newly discovered archival materials and previously overlooked documents in both Germany and the USA, Thomas Meyer traces Arendt's journey from Königsberg to Paris ? where she fled after being imprisoned in 1933 ? and finally to New York in 1941, illuminating her formative years and the development of her radical and brilliant books, as well as her famous affair and lifelong philosophical debate with Martin Heidegger, whose Nazism was a permanent challenge to her.
Woman, friend, lover, journalist, Jew, human rights activist, philosopher and political theorist, Arendt continues to exert fascination as both icon and thinker. Meyer's biography centres on two pivotal phases: Arendt's years in Paris after fleeing Nazi Germany, and her time in the United States leading up to the landmark publication of The Origins of Totalitarianismin 1951. It was her coverage of the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem in 1961, however, that would make her world-famous ? and notorious. Her coining of the phrase *the banality of evil* to describe the Nazi bureaucrat who had helped orchestrate the Holocaust remains one of the most debated and resonant formulations in modern thought, as controversial today as when she first wrote it.
The result is not only a meticulous reconstruction of an extraordinary life but a compelling invitation to rethink her legacy for our own troubled times. At a moment of acute political polarisation, with liberalism in crisis and urgent debates about freedom, responsibility, and truth unfolding all around us, Arendt's ideas resonate more powerfully than ever ? and this magnificent biography restores to us the full complexity of the woman behind them.

Lindbergh : Shadows on the Wall. 45th Ed.
“What is merely beautiful has always bored me. I’m interested in what is powerful and real.” ?Peter LindberghWith such credits as shooting the first American Vogue cover under Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the ’90s supermodels, and numerous solo exhibitions at world-renowned institutions including the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, and the Gagosian in London, Peter Lindbergh (1944–2019) was a master of his craft who made his mark in the halls of photography history.The industry quickly became enamored with his almost anti-fashion photography, capturing the zeitgeist and the spirit of his subjects rather than pursuing today’s search for perfection, which he considered inhuman.Handpicked from 37,000 unreleased photos from his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar shoot, Shadows on the Wall offers an intimate insight into a pool of extraordinary talent: Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Charlotte Rampling, Dame Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Kate Winslet, Léa Seydoux, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Robin Wright, Rooney Mara, Uma Thurman, and Zhang Ziyi.Lindbergh’s message is simple. These intimate images represent a different kind of beauty, far away from society’s obsession with youth and perfection; one which is concerned with individuality, the courage to be yourself, and your very own sensibility.

Will There Ever Be Another You
'Lockwood has a modern comic sensibility like no one else' The Times'Characteristically witty, lyrical, sometimes bonkers' New York TimesThe world might be in disarray, but for one young woman, the very weave of herself seems to have loosened. Time and memories pass straight through her body, she's afraid of her own floorboards, and the lyrics of 'What Is Love' play over and over in her ears. 'I'm sorry not to respond to your email,' she writes, 'but I live completely in the present now.'Tearing through the slippery terrains of fiction and reality, the possibility for human connection seems to beckon from the other side - and with it, the chance for a blinding re-emergence into the world.From one of our most original, inventive and prodigiously funny writers, Will There Ever Be Another You is a phosphorescent, wild and profound investigation into what keeps us alive in unprecedented times.
SolidGoldMagikarp
When English mathematician Matthew Watkins went to San Francisco to study an early version of ChatGPT, he expected dry technical work. Instead, he uncovered a series of 'rare tokens' that made the system go haywire. Some produced gibberish.Others turned it hostile. One trigger word - petertodd - sent the machine into what looked like full-blown paranoia. Was it a simple bug? A trail of breadcrumbs left by whistleblowers? Or a glimpse into how AI really thinks?The search for answers pulls Watkins into the secretive world of AI safety research.In this rapidly expanding domain, the line between science and belief blurs: billionaires play god while rogue chatbots win fortunes and groupies. What starts as a computer mystery becomes something much bigger: both a window into the eerie inner worlds of LLMs and a cryptic clue to what might be history's greatest power grab.The system has since been patched. Even so, before the window closed, we saw inside for a brief moment - and what stared back at us was both stranger and more human than we might like to admit.
