Hříšníku, stůj!
Kniha přináší ojedinělý pohled na spirituály - písně z dob otroctví v celé své syrové kráse a zbožnosti - v nových převodech Michala Bystrova. Tento hudební žánr zrozený z utrpení afroamerických otroků je u nás známý především díky Spirituál kvintetu, který tyto písně naděje, víry a bolesti proslavil tak, že mnohé zlidověly. Na rozdíl od jejich volných adaptací se Bystrov pokouší zachytit původní tragický kontext, přísnou zbožnost a těsné vazby na texty Starého a Nového zákona. Přesto i jemu se místy nedaří udržet vážnou tvář - zejména v oddílech věnovaných biblickým prorokům vtip a fantazie prorážejí na povrch. Publikace je doplněna konkrétními pasážemi z Bible, které tvoří nedílnou součást duchovního poselství spirituálů.
Jak dodává autor předmluvy Jiří Tichota, u překladů lidových písní nejde jen o doslovnost, ale i o zachování něčeho nevyslovitelného - rozpoložení původního autora, jedinečnosti slovních obrazů a genia loci. Bystrovova kniha obsahuje volné převody bezmála 150 prapůvodních spirituálů, které jsou určeny nejen ke čtení, ale i ke zpívání. Písně zrozené z řetězů tak mohou ve své kráse a smutku znít i dnes.

Dear Memory
"Groundbreaking . . . Chang's lyrical experiment memorably evokes an individual family's time capsule and an artist's timeless yearning to shape carbon dust into incandescent gem." —NPRNow in paperback, from the poet who “resurrects mediums” (The Millions), a collection of literary letters and mementos on the art of remembering across generations. For Victoria Chang, memory “isn’t something that blooms, but something that bleeds internally.” It is willed, summoned, and dragged to the surface. The remembrances in this collection of letters are founded in the fragments of stories her mother shared reluctantly and in the silences of her father. They are whittled and sculpted from an archive of family relics: a marriage license, a letter, a visa petition, a photograph. And, just as often, they are built on questions that can no longer be answered. Dear Memory is not a transcription but a process of shaping and being shaped, knowing that when a writer dips their pen into history, what emerges is poetry. In letters to family, past teachers, fellow poets, and to the imagination itself, Victoria Chang offers a model for what it looks like to find ourselves in our histories.
Washington Is Burning
Washington Is Burning reveals the inner workings of Trump's Washington - a grotesque carnival of corruption. Andrew Cockburn sets fire to US pieties, focusing on the spectacular greed at the heart of the nation's political system. Graft and self-interest have long typified both Democratic and Republican administrations. Cockburn charts the connections between the American military bureaucracy and the defense industry, which have created a senseless drive for ever-greater spending on arms. After the failed adventures of Afghanistan and Iraq, the Pentagon now seeks fresh rewards through inflating the threat from China and Iran, deploying time-tested techniques to boost the budget, including the invocation of supposedly superior enemy weapons development. The American empire has reached a watershed. With Trump back in the White House, Washington Is Burning is a must-read account of unedifying practices in the US capital.

Wild Folk

These tales from the stones are neither new nor old. They are full of wild folk , shape-shifting spirits that carry the energy that connects all things. You will meet selkies and silver trout and the black fox, as big as a wolf and so fast and cunning she drives the lord of the manor to madness and oblivion; the woman of flowers who is happier living as an owl; the boy who learns to feel the songs and stories of trees through his skin; Wayland, the smith who can hammer metal to such airy thinness he makes his own wings; and the great white raven, a bird so rare it awakens the king who sleeps beneath the stones of the wild west cliffs of Wales. This book brings together the words of Jackie Morris and the stained-glass paintings of Tamsin Abbott, but the stories come from both, a true collaboration born out of friendship and hope. These are tales to make you see, listen and most of all feel the wild magic that links stone, tree, fox and star.

Inside Youth Sports
Discover what every athlete—and parent— needs to know about the youth sports industrial complex, from training and injuries to developing bodies and navigating league politics, through the eyes of a father-daughter team that has been in your shoes. Over the last two decades, the youth sports market has quietly risen from a cottage industry to one with a valuation of nearly $40 billion. While the industry thrives on the aspirations of children – and their parents – towards college scholarships, it is well-known that reaching that level is rare. Organized sports benefit individuals and society in a myriad of ways, yet youth athletes and their parents often struggle with the financial, physical, and personal costs provided by well-meaning yet misguided influencers in the space. Inside Youth Sports is an in-depth dive into youth sports, the playing experience, and the science behind the muscles, mechanics, and minds of developing kids. Featuring alternating narratives between Buel D. Rodgers – an international leader in the field of muscle biology – and his daughter, Meilani – an elite youth athlete who competed at the national level in soccer and track – this instructive and insightful guide explores the physiology and psychology of child and adolescent athletes, how youth athletes manage the emotional burden and individual challenges of competition as well as the people, places and market surrounding play. Complex biological processes like puberty, the biology of gender, muscle and exercise physiology as well as rehabilitation myths and mythologies are carefully and tactfully detailed for a broad lay audience. Detailed interviews with legendary coaches Anson Dorrance and Geno Auriemma, the winningest soccer and basketball coaches in NCAA history, offer further strategies for parents and players alike. For every parent, coach and athlete looking for a more scientific understanding of growing bodies, injuries, the far-reaching benefits of sport and its impact on our psyches, coaching philosophies, and how to navigate the often-complicated interpersonal world of youth sports, Inside Youth Sports is an invaluable guide.

Yasha's Amazin' Bar Mitzvah
It's 1986, and thirteen-year-old Yasha Reznik doesn’t understand why his parents moved them all from his Russian community of Brighton Beach to the suburbia of Rockwood, New Jersey. Sure, it may be their “American Dream,” but it’s not his. Yasha’s dream is to make it through his Bar Mitzvah, watch the New York Mets make it to the playoffs, and fit in at his new school. But fitting in may be harder than he thinks, when he’s one of only two Russian families in town and all the kids he meets keep calling him Drago (thanks Rocky movies), even after he starts going by “Jake” instead of “Yasha.” The only person who seems to really get him is Bernie, his pal from the senior citizen home where Yasha is doing community service for his Bar Mitzvah project. Then Bernie says his dream is also to see the Mets win the World Series. And Yasha may not know his Torah portion yet, or why he feels alone even with his new “friends,” but he does know one thing: somehow, someway, he’s going to get those tickets.
