Voices in Stone
Iconoclasm is in the air. Bitter debates rage in the press, through social media and on the streets around the proper fate of statues of controversial figures, whether slave traders, imperialists or Confederate generals. It is an important question, but discussion has largely been confined to the final act of the lives of statues. Paul Brummell''s contention is that statues should be understood through their changing roles during often complex lifetimes. Starting with a discussion of why sponsors and sculptors choose to erect figurative representations of human subjects, the book explores the impact of time on statues, as durable images in marble and bronze outlive the worldviews of their founders, becoming forgotten relics of past regimes or acquiring a toxicity when their subjects are identified as problematic by new generations. On this journey through the lives of statues, Brummell explores such issues as the circumstances under which statues move, talk, and even kill, the role of votive offerings and the vexed question of the rubbing of intimate bronze body parts, examining the stories of statues from ancient history to the present day, from the celebrated beauty of Praxiteles'' statue of Aphrodite at Knidos to the Romanian hero likened to a chubby Santa Claus.

Never Shaken, Never Stirred
‘Reindorp has done a stellar job of balancing their privilege and pathos.’ - The Lady‘Everyone in this book seems to be awash with booze.’ - The TelegraphGlamorous, fun and packed with scandalous anecdotes and exclusive interviews, Never Shaken, Never Stirred tells the story of two extraordinary sisters, Ann and Laura Charteris, who made marrying well an art form. While Laura eventually became the Duchess of Marlborough, Ann’s third and final husband was the journalist Ian Fleming, who she inspired to start writing the spy franchise he would become famous for. Along the way there were marriages, and affairs, with some of the biggest names of the twentieth century. The sisters’ collective husbands included a duke, four peers, Jacqueline Kennedy’s former brother-in-law and the alleged illegitimate son of Queen Elizabeth’s uncle. There were also passionate flings with a Labour leader, a press baron and a cluster of film and literary stars. History would come to define Ann and Laura by the men they married, but their marriages are only part of the story. From royals to writers, film stars to politicians, aristocrats to academics, the Charteris sisters knew everybody that mattered, their countless friendships allowing them a privileged ringside seat during many momentous historical moments of the last century. Blazing a glamorous trail with their beauty, charm, riotous behaviour and energetic love affairs, the aristocratic Charteris sisters alternately delighted and scandalised British society, and their lives continue to do so to this day.

One Garden Against the World
WINNER OF THE PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZE FOR NON-FICTIONLONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION WRITINGFINALIST IN THE GARDEN MEDIA GUILD AWARDSFive years after writing her first nature memoir, The Bumblebee Flies Anyway, Kate Bradbury has a new garden. It’s busy: home to all sorts of wildlife, from red mason bees and house sparrows to hedgehogs and dragonflies. Brighton and Hove's entire frog population seems to breed in her small pond each spring, and now there are toads, too. On summer nights, Kate watches bats flit above her and for a moment, everything seems alright with the world. But she knows habitat loss remains a huge issue in gardens, the wider countryside and worldwide, and there’s another, far bigger threat: climate change. Temperature increases are starting to bite, and she worries what that will mean for our wildlife. In this uplifting book, Kate writes passionately about how her climate-change anxiety pushes her to look for positive ways to keep going in a changing world. As in her first memoir, she invites you into her life, sharing stories of her mum’s ongoing recovery and her adventures with her rescue dog, Tosca. One Garden Against the World is a call to action for all of us – gardeners, communities and individuals – to do more for wildlife and more for the climate. Climate change and biodiversity loss go hand in hand, but if we work together, it’s never too late to make a difference.
Hawke PM
The companion volume to YOUNG HAWKE: the making of a larrikin from the award-winning historian and author of CURTIN and CHIFLEY Bob Hawke was one of the most influential Australians of the twentieth century, firstly as Australia's most powerful trade union leader in the 1970s before becoming the longest serving Labor prime minister in the 1980s. The government of this formerly hard-drinking womaniser did much to transform the Australian economy, reorient Australian foreign policy towards Asia and introduce groundbreaking social welfare measures, including Medicare, and did much to promote the advancement of women. After the difficult years of the late 70s and early 80s, it was a time of renewed confidence that was exemplified by the winning of the America's Cup and the celebration of Australia's Bicentenary. It was also a time of national introspection, with the demand for a treaty with the Aborigines, the 75th anniversary of Gallipoli and the questioning of Australian identity. Bob Hawke was at the centre of it all, and for much of his time in office enjoyed an unprecedented level of popularity. But there was a prime minister-in-waiting who was intent on taking his position and a difficult family life that contrasted with the public image. This is the definitive biography of one of Australia's most important prime ministers.
Twilight of Camelot
From the author of the “insightful and well-crafted” (The Wall Street Journal) Kennedy and King comes a heart-wrenching and sensitive examination of the tragic loss of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy’s premature son, Patrick, and how their shared grief brought them closer together in the months leading up to his assassination. In April 1963, the White House announced that Jackie was pregnant with a sibling for Caroline and John Jr.—joyful news after years of miscarriages and a stillbirth in 1956. But on August 7th, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy was born six weeks premature and died less than two days later. In this probing, soulful account of the struggle to save Patrick, Steven Levingston takes us inside the long-troubled relationship of Jack and Jackie as they faced one of the most difficult experiences of their marriage. With a “perceptive and eloquent” (The Christian Science Monitor) voice, Levingston reveals how Patrick’s death, tragic as it was, ultimately brought the couple closer together and set the President on a trajectory to be a better husband and father in the months leading up to their fateful campaign trip to Dallas. In a parallel storyline, Levingston reveals the largely unknown role President Kennedy played in modernizing an important corner of American health care. After Patrick’s death, he ordered studies into the primitive state of premature care and drummed up millions of dollars in government funding, igniting a revolution in treatments that over the decades have saved millions of infants thanks to the invention of baby ventilators, new drugs, and modern neonatal intensive care units. For his definitive account of Patrick’s brief but influential life, Levingston draws on first-ever interviews with doctors who treated Jackie and Patrick, in-depth revelations of the Secret Service agent in whose speeding car Jackie nearly gave birth prematurely, and on new archival documents. Twilight of Camelot is a fresh and humanizing portrait of one of the most famous and complicated couples of the 20th century, and a pulsating drama that illuminates one of the least-known periods in Kennedy family history.

Jak jednat s rozhněvanými lidmi
Okolnosti, během nichž se v běžném životě setkáváme s rozzlobenými jedinci, jsou dvojího typu. Může jít o jednorázové situace, kdy se na nás rozčílí někdo cizí, anebo se jedná o jedince se vznětlivou povahou, který má v našem životě pevné místo – nadřízený, životní partner, sourozenec, rodič nebo i potomek. Kniha vám pomůže takovýmto lidem lépe porozumět a komunikovat s nimi tak, aby to bylo přínosné a zbytečně vás to nevyčerpávalo.
Existuje rozdíl mezi hněvem a agresí. Osoby, s nimiž komunikujete a které jsou rozzlobené, možná nejsou vůči vám (nebo jiným osobám) útočné, ale vy se v jejich přítomnosti nemusíte cítit dobře. Je dobré si uvědomit, že hněv může být nejen stav, ale i povahová vlastnost. A také to, že prchliví lidé nemusí být nutně zlí.
První část knihy se zaměřuje na porozumění lidem, kteří prožívají hněv. Autor se v ní zabývá různými typy osobnosti, ale i biologickými faktory, emočním vývojem, šířením emocí a myšlenkovými vzorci. Každá kapitola pak přináší praktické rady.
Ve druhé části najdete deset konkrétních postupů pro efektivní zvládání situací s rozzlobenými lidmi:
1. Jak zjistit, co vy opravdu chcete
2. Jak si zachovat klid a vyrovnanost
3. Jak rozpoznat různé podoby hněvu
4. Jak porozumět hněvu z pohledu druhé osoby
5. Jak poznat, kdy je něčí hněv oprávněný
6. Jak jednat s těmi, kteří nekomunikují
7. Jak účinně zvládat hněv v online prostředí
8. Jak se vyhnout osobním útokům
9. Jak poznat, kdy je čas se stáhnout
10. Jak kombinovat různé přístupy

Štítná žláza a emoce
Tato unikátní publikace pojednává o souvislostech mezi štítnou žlázou a emocemi. Erudovaně, odborně, avšak zároveň způsobem fascinujícím i pro laika vysvětluje, jak přesně tato souvislost funguje a co to znamená pro pochopení nesmírně důležité funkce tohoto orgánu, jakož i problémů spojených s jejím narušeným fungováním.
Jean du Chazaud je zakladatelem takzvané endokrinopsychologie. Je přesvědčený, že lidské emoce jsou podmíněny naší hormonální rovnováhou, zatímco stres působí recipročně i na funkce štítné žlázy. Zdůrazňuje, že štítná žláza je žlázou emocí. Právě ona přijímá a řídí naše emoce a poté informuje mozek. Díky ní nám funguje inteligence, psychika je schopná se přizpůsobovat situacím, se kterými se setkáváme, a právě ona nás nutí vyjadřovat radost, smutek, hněv či strach.
Uvedené poznatky se mohou stát východiskem pro další zkoumání a také zdrojem naděje pro tisíce lidí, kteří trpí, protože jejich vnitřní poruchy a náhlé změny duševního stavu nejsou pochopeny.
Kromě jiného zde najdete podrobné pojednání o emocích z psychologického, lékařského i filozofického hlediska a také rozbor některých psychosomatických nemocí, jako je vysoký (nebo naopak nízký) krevní tlak, nemoci srdce, nebo dokonce závislosti.
The Stimulated Mind

With people struggling to focus, and dementia and Alzheimer's on the rise, Dr Wood offers a bold, empowering message: our brains are not destined to decline. In fact, with the right stimulus, they can adapt, strengthen and even improve over time.
In THE STIMULATED MIND, Dr Wood introduces his science-backed '3-S Model' - Stimulation, Sleep and Nutrient Supply - as the foundation for lifelong brain health.
