Even the Good Girls Will Cry
'Our '90s fever dreams were beautiful but they were also brutal and only the good girls, like Melissa, have the guts to tell you that' Shirley Manson'As if through the lens of her camera, Melissa shows us a female experience of rock and roll' Martha Wainwright'Intimate, poetic' Walton GogginsThanks to a thrown beer bottle and a fan letter to a P.O. box, Melissa Auf der Maur's first band scored an opening slot for the Smashing Pumpkins in her bohemian home town, Montreal. Sensing Melissa's talent, Billy Corgan recommended her to Courtney Love. Whisked from her local scene, Melissa joined Hole just after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole's prior bassist, Kristen Pfaff, with the just-widowed Courtney Love at the centre of it all. That was only the beginning of Melissa's journey through alternative rock, a trip she undertook alongside 90s luminaries including Rufus Wainwright, Michael Stipe and her former boyfriend, Dave Grohl. Even the Good Girls Will Cry is a vivid dispatch from the last analogue decade, capturing that bygone era in all its messy, angsty glory.

The New Flesh

A man convinced that he has developed a phantom beak edges towards a terrible metamorphosis.

Including stories of bestial shapeshifters such as the tiger-men, fox spirits and werewolves of world folklore, this collection also presents some of the weirder shifts of the horror genre, where a flatworm masquerades as a boy, a girl becomes one with a bridge, and a babe-in-arms and her beekeeper father come to reflect the creatures of the hives.

Revoluce. Jak ženy na dvou kolech měnily svět
Od okamžiku, kdy se ženy poprvé vyhouply do sedla jízdního kola, už nic nebylo jako dřív. Kniha Revoluce britské autorky a cyklistky Hannah Ross přináší fascinující, čtivý a inspirující příběh o tom, jak se bicykl stal nástrojem svobody, vzdoru i sebeurčení. Ross ve své knize s lehkostí propojuje historii, společenský kontext i osobní příběhy žen, které se navzdory předsudkům rozhodly sednout na kolo – a tím změnily svět.
Ross sleduje, jak byl obraz ženy na kole odjakživa politický – ať už šlo o „nepatřičně sportovní“ rebelky v šatech, nebo profesionální závodnice, které dodnes bojují o rovné příležitosti. „Muž na kole je prostě muž na kole,“ píše recenzentka Guardianu, „ale žena na kole působí politicky, nezávisle, až pobuřujícím způsobem.“ Kniha je manifestem i poctou zároveň – bohatě zdokumentovanou historií ženského cyklistického hnutí i vášnivým vyznáním svobody, kterou ženy díky jízdě na kole získaly.
Co dnes bereme jako sport a vášeň, to bylo (a stále může být) inspirativní možností, jak zlepšit svět – a nalézt vlastní svobodu.

But lady's maid Alice, blessed and cursed with the Sight, is tormented by terrifying visions. When chaperone Eliza falls prey to a disturbing wasting illness, the women hope to seek the healing waters of Transylvania.

And not all of them will survive.
The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
Occultism has long been associated with the visual and literary arts, the wild and the avant-garde, and nowhere was this more embodied than in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Founded in London in the 1880s by Freemasons, it was the world's most famous secret society. In this fresh, bracing narrative history, Felix John Taylor recounts its rise and fall through the men and women for whom the Order represented both an alternative to traditional Victorian religious values and a space for imaginative exploration.
Devoted to the study of ceremonial magic, the Order attracted a long list of eminent writers, actors and visual artists to its ranks. It looked towards a 'golden age' of spiritual enlightenment, with progressive ideals - class and gender were no barriers to entry - and teachings from tarot to alchemy and astral projection that were gradually unveiled as members ascended ten 'grades'.
While its temples were formally spaces to practice magic, Taylor finds that the Golden Dawn was at various points more an arts club or society of writers. Political schisms and sex scandals ensured that it was short-lived, yet for many members its occult practices came to shape their work and influence the wider culture over a much longer period.
The Golden Dawn, with its role in the foundation of Wicca and modern developments in magic, is a vital thread connecting Victorian esotericism to the present-day occult revival. This visually arresting, meticulously researched literary history teases out these connections, while offering a compelling account of the Order and its members.
Slepá místa medicíny
Myslíte si, že lékařská doporučení stojí na pevných důkazech?
Že když je slýcháme celý život a opakují je experti, musejí být správná?
Kéž by to platilo vždy.
Lékař a výzkumník Marty Makary přesvědčivě ukazuje, že i dnešní medicína má svá slepá místa. Tedy oblasti, kde se odborný konsenzus změnil v dogma, kde se přestaly klást otázky a kde špatné interpretace dat a tlak autorit vedly k chybám, na něž doplácejí celé generace. A možná zasáhly i vás.
Makary vás provede příběhy výzkumů, lékařských rozhodnutí a pacientů, u nichž zdravotní systém selhal – ne kvůli absenci důkazů, ale navzdory nim.
V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte:
- Epidemii alergie na arašídy nespustila příroda, ale oficiální zdravotní doporučení.
- Miliony žen přišly zbytečně o zdravé vaječníky, protože se dlouho ignorovalo skutečné místo vzniku rakoviny.
- Rutinní podávání antibiotik ničí mikrobiom a zvyšuje riziko obezity, astmatu, diabetu i duševních poruch.
- Vejce a cholesterol se nestaly obětním beránkem kvůli důkazům, ale vinou hlasitých jednotlivců.
- Hormonální substituční terapie může udělat pro zdraví žen nad padesát let víc než kterýkoli jiný lék v historii.
Tato kniha není útokem na vědu.
Je výzvou dostát jejím ideálům.
