Discipline Equals Freedom
Find your will, find your discipline - and you will find your freedom. In this expanded edition of the mega-bestseller, updated with brand-new sections like Do What Makes You Happy, Sugar-Coated Lies and Don't Negotiate with Weakness, readers will discover new ways to become stronger, smarter and healthier.Jocko Willink's methods for success were born in the SEAL Teams, where he spent most of his adult life, rising through the ranks to become the commander of the most highly decorated special operations unit of the war in Iraq. In Discipline Equals Freedom, the number one New York Times bestselling co-author of Extreme Ownership describes how he lives that mantra: the mental and physical disciplines he imposes on himself in order to achieve freedom in all aspects of life.Many books offer advice on how to overcome obstacles and reach your goals but that advice often misses the most critical ingredient: discipline. Without discipline, there will be no real progress. Discipline Equals Freedom covers it all, including strategies and tactics for conquering weakness, procrastination and fear, and specific physical training presented in workouts for beginner, intermediate and advanced athletes, and even the best sleep habits and food intake recommended to optimize performance.
Prefab Houses
A prefab is a mass-produced house, constructed in a factory and assembled on–site in a few days or weeks. Once regarded as a cheap, easy solution for urgent housing problems, the prefab has evolved to become a synonym for ambitious design and sophisticated detailing solutions.The amazing history of prefabricated houses started in England in the 1830s with a building kit for emigrants moving to Australia. Even today, prefabricated houses provide a high percentage of living spaces in many countries of the world. This book covers prefabs from the USA via Europe to Asia and Africa, giving insight into the various industrially prefabricated components, the difficulties of delivery to the building site, and the intricacies of assembly and completion. As well as tracing the link between modernism and industrialization that evolved to produce the latest prefabricated solutions, it also features a unique compilation of one-off prefabricated houses by well-known international architects, as well as successful dwellings manufactured off-site for everyday modern living.
Oblékám si svoje tělo jako pyžamo
Daleko od lidí je daleko od sebe. Jen s nimi jsme ve světě. Vše, co se stalo, a všechny, které jsme potkali, máme ve svém těle zapsané. Slovy, která jsou někdy až moc hluboko. Slovy, která na noc nejdou svléct. Proto když jsi ty tím, kdo je píše, přitlač. Vejdi do psaní celým tělem. Psaní je aktem odporu, ale taky péče, existence, kolektivního soužití. Piš. Tělo musí promluvit. Truchli, tanči, vzpomínej. Vracej se pohybem vpřed. Vypij soudek do dna, jinak se vypaří. Jako i my se nakonec vypaříme.
The Spirit of Stone
From the lonely heights of mountains to the womblike depths of caves, stone has always drawn us in. In The Spirit of Stone, Wyl Menmuir explores the many ways in which rock and earth form part of our identities, histories, and futures. Across Britain and Ireland, rock is everywhere beneath our feet, shaping not only our landscapes but also our imaginations and the ways we live together. Moving across these lands, Wyl Menmuir’s essays combine travelogue, social history, and memoir, bringing together interviews, folklore, and personal encounters with the landscapes themselves. From sacred monuments to modern sculpture, this book reveals how stone grounds us, challenges us, and inspires us, such as: Mountains and caves as places of pilgrimage, danger, refuge, and wonder. Ancient pathways andstone circles that leave traces of our ancestors written into the land. Marks and monuments, from Neolithic carvings to contemporary sculpture, art that endures across centuries. Everyday stone, for example the quarries, buildings and raw materials that underpin our daily lives. The Spirit of Stone follows on from The Draw of the Sea and The Heart of the Woods, completing a trilogy of explorations into our relationship with place. Where the first two books took readers to the water’s edge and into the forest, this book journeys into the landscapes of rock, stone and earth, reflecting on how they continue to define us. Resonant with the work of Robert Macfarlane, Kathleen Jamie and Peter Ross, yet strikingly original in its breadth and vision, The Spirit of Stone is a profound meditation on belonging, endurance, and our shared human story written in stone.
Souostroví Rusko ve válce proti Ukrajině
Válka, kterou ruská armáda, podporovaná částí společnosti, vede od roku 2014 proti Ukrajině, drasticky proměnila Ukrajinu, Evropu, svět, i Rusko samotné. A to nejen vojensky, politicky, ekonomicky, ale i v oblasti kulturní. Jak tamní umělkyně a umělci reagují na válku, jak ji jejich díla podrývají, dokumentují, oslavují – nebo ignorují? Jak válka intervenuje do vyjadřovacích prostředků umění, jak je proměňuje? Které jevy v kultuře, v kulturní politice a ve veřejném prostoru se v době války zdají být stěžejní, z čeho vycházejí, jak se projevují a kam směřují? Co vlastně znamená a co produkuje takzvaný ruský exil? Jaké strategie volí kulturní instituce a kremelský establishment? Na tyto a mnohé další otázky hledá odpovědi deset kapitol tohoto souboru faktů a úvah o válce a kultuře, psaných za války.

Lámpás mesék - Jó éjt, erdőlakók

Az utolsó hívás - Dzsian telefonfülkéje
Mi lenne, ha egyetlen telefonhívás elegendő lenne ahhoz, hogy választ kapjunk a legfájóbb kérdéseinkre? Egy pszichológiai boncolásokat végző központban azok történetei találkoznak, akik egy szeretett személy öngyilkossága után maradtak magukra, és tele vannak bűntudattal, haraggal és megválaszolatlan kérdésekkel. A központ közelében álló, elhagyatott telefonfülke különös titkot rejt: aki belép oda, és leemeli a kagylót, meghallgathatja elhunyt rokona, szerelme utolsó gondolatait.
Kang Dzsian, a központ vezetője, saját vesztesége - édesapja halála - miatt nap mint nap felkeresi a fülkét, abban a reményben, hogy még egyszer hallhatja a hangját. Amikor felismeri, milyen mély hatással vannak ezek az utolsó gondolatok az itt maradókra, úgy dönt, beépíti a fülkét a pszichológiai boncolás, a traumafeldolgozás, a gyógyítás és gyógyulás folyamatába. A cél nem a múlt megváltoztatása, hanem a megértés: annak feltárása, mi vezetett a tragédiához, és hogyan lehet együtt élni a következményekkel és az elveszített szerettünk hiányával.
Csillagösvényen
BÁN MÓR ezúttal egy izgalmas koncepcióra épülő, dupla novelláskötettel jelentkezik. A Göröngyös úton című kötetben a Hunyadi-sorozat szerzője ezúttal is a magyarok múltjának izgalmas fejezeteit tárja elénk, a Csillagösvényen pedig legkiválóbb sci-fi- elbeszéléseinek gyűjteménye.
Az emberiség jövőjét kutató írások hol a következő évszázadok társadalmának égető gondjaira reflektálnak, hol pedig a technikai fejlődés vívmányainak következményeit próbálják feltérképezni. A távoli galaxisok felfedezői, a jövőben válni készülő házaspárok, akik mindent el akarnak felejteni előző életükből, klónozott személyiségek egymáshoz fűződő, nem könnyen kibogozható viszonya, a távoli évszázadok majdan megvívott ütközeteinek hősei, a közeli jövő háborús tudósításainak forgatókönyvírói - csupán néhány figura és téma a kötetben szereplő elbeszélésekből.
A novellák között akad sokkolóan szókimondó, fordulatos, akár egy kalandregény, vagy éppen mélyen elgondolkodtató. Vajon jó irányba tartunk a jövőbe vezető úton?
Idézzük fel együtt a hosszú utat - a földrögből a csillagokig!
Szív és ész törvényei
A gimnazista Lily Webb első szerelmével közösen szőtt álmai erőszakos véget érnek egy tengerparti buli után, és Lily még csak nem is emlékszik a történtekre.
A hetvenes években járunk. Amerika változik; Lily is feminista anyja és mélyen vallásos apja nézetei között bolyongva éli a kamaszlányok mindennapjait húgával, a matematikazseni Jane-nel. Édesanyjuk halála után a szerelem nyújt számára menedéket, egészen addig a végzetes éjszakáig.
A fiútól elszakadva Lily egyetemre megy, ahol egy idősebb professzor, az ornitológus Marshall nyeri el ismét a szívét. Csakhogy évekkel később a fiú, aki egykor a világmindenséget jelentette Lily számára, ismét felbukkan az életében.
Lilyt évtizedeken át nyomasztja a felelősség a történtekért, miközben igyekszik a második szerelem szilárd nyugalma és az első azóta sem szűnő lobogása között egyensúlyozni. Az egyre inkább lecsúszó Jane sorsa is az ő vállára nehezedik.
A regény a hit, az irodalom, a fizika és a madarak viselkedése segítségével igyekszik a bűn, a bűnhődés, a megbocsátás és a megváltás kérdéseire választ találni, és felcsendülnek benne a kor legjobb zenéi.

Le Samourai
In this compelling study, Daisuke Miyao explores Jean-Pierre Melville's cult 1967 thriller Le Samourai, a film that unfolds in a coolly stylised Paris where the paths of a contract killer, Jef Costello (Alain Delon), and the police commissaire pursuing him (François Périer) fatally intersect. Despite its title, Le Samourai, is not a sword-clashing tale of feudal Japan. Rather, Miyao suggests that the film's philosophical framework draws on both existentialism and the samurai moral philosophy of bushido, or 'the way of the warrior', and considers how these philosophies may help explain Jef Costello's identity crisis and his concluding act of self-annihilation. In a close analysis of Melville's technical and aesthetic decisions, Miyao highlights the film's use of close-ups to convey or mask emotion, the play of light and shadow, and the function of flashbacks and dream sequences in the narrative, as well as the meanings of Costello's pet bullfinch. Setting Le Samourai within the shifting landscape of post-war French cinema, Miyao traces its dialogue with Hollywood film noir and Japanese art cinema, particularly Kurosawa's Rashomon (1950), suggesting that both genres informed and influenced Melville's film-making. Finally, Miyao discusses the film’s enduring legacy, from Jim Jarmusch’s Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) to Yoko M.’s 2020 novella Jef, a prequel to the film.

She plans to set out and see all of the country's butterfly species in a single summer. She knows nothing about butterflies. She doesn’t even know why she wants to see them.
