Totální nasazení
Tři komiksové příběhy podle skutečných událostí. Tři příběhy žen, které se nikdy nesetkaly, a přece jejich životy spojuje podobná zkušenost – pracovní lágr. Franciska se během nuceného nasazení narodila. Její polská matka a český otec se do sebe zamilovali na tom nejpodivnějším místě — v továrně na munici, kde byli oba nuceně nasazeni. Jarmila se chtěla otrocké práci pro nacistickou říši vyhnout, ale nakonec do Německa odjela, aby se v táboře Sackisch skryla před gestapem. Spolupracovala totiž jako spojka s odbojovou skupinou, kterou nacisté odhalili. A Helena musela na otrocké práce nastoupit poté, co ji s rodiči, sourozenci a babičkou uvěznili v židovském ghettu ve volyňském Ostrožci. Z rodiny přežila jediná.
Kniha ale nevypráví jen o ubíjejících dnech, které tyto ženy a jejich rodiny trávily v továrnách, na polích pod dohledem strážných. Vypráví i o tom, co jim válka vzala, s jakými vzpomínkami a s jakou bolestí je vrhla zpět do světa. A spolu s nimi zhruba dalších 400 až 450 tisíc Čechů, českých Židů a Romů, kteří museli odjet do nacistické říše jako levná pracovní síla a jako vězni zajateckých a koncentračních táborů.
A Terribly Nasty Business
After achieving her lifelong dream of solving a murder, bringing a killer to justice, and proving she is not, in fact, a morbid creep, Beatrice Steele feels like everything is finally falling into place. She's traded her etiquette-obsessed community of Swampshire for the big city of London, accompanied by her ever-trusty chaperone, Miss Bolton. They've settled in a lovely neighborhood, Sweetbriar, known for its proximity to the Sweet Majestic theater, picturesque pleasure gardens, and an unfortunate infestation of flying squirrels. But Beatrice's favorite part is that Sweetbriar is also home to D.S. Investigations, the new office she opened with the prickly, annoyingly logical Inspector Drake to solve the city's brutally thrilling crimes. However, nothing is turning out how Beatrice imagined it would. Sir Huxley, famed gentleman inspector and Beatrice's former crush, is still considered the real investigator in London, so the only cases left for Beatrice and Drake are lost pets and spectacles. Not that Beatrice has much time for crime-solving, anyways, as her mother still expects her to find an eligible (rich) husband to protect their family from destitution. Beatrice is struggling to balance all the demands on her and begins to wonder if she can become a true detective in a city that feels full of false promises. That is until a string of murders thrusts Beatrice and Drake into the center of a scandal that pits the neighborhood's wealthiest against the arts community, spreading fear and chaos throughout the city. As they follow the trail through bewildering ballrooms, secretive shops, and odd operas, Beatrice must survive threats to her partnership, her business, and her place in society to break the case--before it's too late.

A Chorus of Ears
‘One of the most eloquent thinkers about our life in language’ – The Sunday TimesA Chorus of Ears is a series of essays on voice, lyric and the persona of the poet from one of our greatest living English poets. Denise Riley contemplates how a poet's public persona can hold more significance than their actual poetry in the modern literary world. She reflects on how prize culture can transform criticism into a beauty contest, and limit our ability to meet the lyric on its own terms. What might be discovered, Riley asks, if we liberate the poem from the person of the author? From where does its own voice spring? In allowing the poem to speak, what might we hea? ncluding a foreword by leading poet and critic Don Paterson. 'One of the great poets of our time ' – New Statesman
Amplify!
Amplify! My Fight for Asian America offers a meaningful look at the real stories behind the headlines, providing Asian Americans and allies of all backgrounds a vital resource to broaden their perspective on anti-Asian hate and contribute to positive social transformation.February 24, 2020, started out like any other day for journalist and television anchor Dion Lim of San Francisco’s ABC News. Planning her pitches for the morning’s editorial meeting, she checked her Instagram account and saw a message from someone she didn’t recognize. Attached was a horrifying video in which men were beating and yelling racist slurs at an elderly Asian man who had been collecting cans in the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco. Lim felt compelled to investigate the story, help the man who “looked freakishly like my dad,” and bring the perpetrators to justice. Thus began Lim’s four-years-and-counting quest to bring attention to the appalling rise of anti-Asian hate and violence in America. Amplify! My Fight for Asian America brings readers on an eye-opening journey alongside Lim, who has unwittingly become a national hero for her relentless fight for Asian American visibility. Through deeply personal anecdotes about her own life as a Chinese American, exclusive interviews with survivors, activists, and historians, and incisive historical context, she provides the very first book to tackle one of the biggest political and social controversies of this century from the perspective of the AAPI community.
A testben őrzött múlt
Ez az úttörő könyv a legfrissebb kutatások segítségével tárja fel, hogyan hagy nyomot a trauma a testünkben egészen sejtszinten, és új lehetőséget kínál a valódi, teljes testi gyógyulásra.
Bár ma már többet tudunk a mentális egészségről, mint valaha, a hagyományos orvoslás még mindig összetéveszti a trauma finom jeleit a stresszel, szorongással vagy krónikus betegségekkel, néha pedig elavult és félrevezető módszerekkel akár újra is traumatizálhatja a betegeket. Az elmére fókuszáló kezelések csak a következményeket kezelik, a testi tünetek kezelésére irányuló szokásos orvosi megközelítések pedig nem vizsgálják a gyökérokokat, és nem segítik elő az igazi felépülést.
Ha valóban meg akarunk gyógyulni, testben zajló folyamatként és nem egyszeri külső eseményként kell tekintenünk a traumára. Elengedhetetlen, hogy világosan lássuk, hogyan őrzi meg testünk a tapasztalatokat, melyek hatást gyakorolnak testi egészségünkre, valamint arra is, képesek vagyunk-e egészségesen viselkedni és egészséges kapcsolatokat fenntartani. Ebben segít Dr. Aimie Apigian integratív, forradalmi megközelítése.
Egy évtizednyi klinikai kutatást bemutatva, valamint érthető történetekkel és valós példákkal A testben őrzött múlt feltárja előttünk:
- hogyan raktározza el a test a túlterhelő és fájdalmas élményeket;
- hogyan ismerhetjük fel a trauma gyakran figyelmen kívül hagyott jeleit – például a tartós kimerültséget, a „ködös” gondolkodást vagy az indokolatlan szorongást;
- miként hatnak a testben elraktározott érzelmi sebek sejtszinten az egészségünkre – még akkor is, ha kívülről sikeresnek tűnik az életünk;
- hogyan előzhetjük meg azokat a testi változásokat, amelyek gátolják a gyógyulást;
- hogyan dolgozhatunk együtt idegrendszerünkkel a biztonságos felépülés érdekében, anélkül, hogy újra traumatizálnánk magunkat.
A testben őrzött múlt mind a személyes fejlődést keresők, mind a gyógyítók számára tökéletes, mély betekintést nyújt az elme és a test működésébe és a gyógyulás útjába.
Energikusan 40 felett
Ez a könyv iránytű a változókor útvesztőjében: közérthetően elmagyarázza, mi történik a testeddel és a lelkeddel, és megmutatja, hogyan lehetsz újra energikus – 40 felett is. A szerző 54 éves személyi edző, táplálkozási tanácsadó, gerinctréner és menopauza coach, aki nap mint nap ugyanazokkal a problémákkal szembesül, mint Te. Fejezetei célratörők: menopauza-alapismeretek, táplálkozás, testmozgás, napi rutin, az első 12 hét lépésről lépésre, „ünnepi túlélő” stratégiák, majd hosszú távú fenntartás. A hőhullámtól az alvásig, a csontsűrűségtől a bélflóráig mindenről szó esik – és minden tanács könnyen beépíthető a hétköznapokba. Ha akarod, ez az időszak nem lezárás, hanem új kezdet: jobb közérzet, feszesebb test, tisztább fej, több életkedv. Lapozz bele, és kövesd hétről hétre a gyakorlati lépéseket. A jövőd már elkezdődött.
Judaism
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringHow has Judaism changed since the days of the Bible? What sects and divisions does it have, and how does it respond to the challenges of modernity? How does the secular state of Israel resolve the conflicts of ‘Church’ and stat? n this Very Short Introduction, Norman Solomon explores Judaism as a religion and as a way of life, including its festivals, prayers, customs, and sects. Solomon considers how Judaism is perceived and understood in the 21st century, discusses how Judaism deals with issues such as feminism, gender, homosexuality, and gay marriage, and looks historically at the relationship between Judaism and the Muslim faith.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
