Always challenging and nothing easy, but a great way to spend a life, with a few lessons learnt to be passed on to the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Speed
Prepare to view the world through a new lens - SPEED - a groundbreaking exploration that challenges your perceptions of life's driving force, from the internationally bestselling author
'There is perhaps no other academic who paints pictures with numbers like Smil' Guardian
In a world that feels like it's moving faster than ever, Smil examines how our relentless pursuit of speed - in areas such as production, travel and communication - shapes not only our technological landscape but also our social and environmental realities. And through engaging anecdotes and striking statistics, Smil challenges the assumption that faster is always better.
He invites readers to reconsider the implications of our collective obsession with speed, and its intricate relationship with nature and innovation. For example, he highlights the surprising fact that erosion can actually accelerate mountain growth, and he points out that the rapid adoption of mobile phones - achieving 90 per cent penetration in just nineteen years - reflects historical patterns of technological adoption, suggesting that our world may not be moving significantly faster than in the past.
Whether exploring the tiny mites that can traverse 300 times their body length in a second or the societal impacts of high-frequency trading, Speed invites readers to engage in a more balanced conversation about the role of speed in our lives, in an age defined by haste.
Backstage Confidential
Backstage Confidential lifts the curtain on West End Theatre from a viewpoint rarely heard: the wings. Beginning his career at seventeen, Eden Phillips rose to become London’s youngest head flyman before veering into acting, writing and publishing — yet always remained an observer of the theatre’s hidden world. With warmth and wit, he evokes backstage work in the 1960s and ’70s: rigging sets, working the flys, operating revolves and tackling the countless unseen tasks that keep a show running. Along the way he encounters an array of theatrical greats, from Sir Noël Coward, Sir John Gielgud and Dame Judi Dench to directors Hal Prince and Harold Pinter. A lively, humorous and affectionate insider’s glimpse into a golden age of British theatre.
Kylian Mbappe - The Definitive Biography
'Only the second teenager to have scored a goal in a World Cup Final! Welcome to the club - it's great to have some company!' Pelé
This was the praise lauded upon Kylian Mbappé who, at just 19 years of age, led France to triumph at the 2018 World Cup. As golden confetti rained down, millions across the globe watched as the young man kissed the iconic trophy; the heir to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best footballer in the world had announced himself. It was his crowning moment.
In Kylian Mbappé: The Definitive Biography, Julien Laurens, the world's leading French football journalist, paints a vivid portrait of Mbappé's meteoric rise to global stardom. After a decade covering Kylian's career, Julien has had unprecedented access to the player's friends, coaches and teammates past and present. Exploring Mbappé's humble upbringing in the suburbs of Paris and schooling at the famed Clairefontaine academy, his peerless rise with AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as his dream move to Real Madrid where his career has reached new heights, this extensive biography crafts an intimate account of Kylian's life.
Julien takes us into the inner workings of Mbappé's psyche, as we witness how becoming a world superstar at just 19 affected the young Parisian. From the complex relationship he had with his boyhood club and its hierarchy to valiantly losing against Lionel Messi's Argentina in the 2022 World Cup Final, and becoming the new face of Real Madrid's galácticos, Julien shows us how the Mbappé that stars for club and country today is unrecognisable from the one who won the World Cup with France in 2018.

The Sanctuaries and Cults of Demeter in Asia Minor and the Islands off Its Western Coast
At least twenty-two sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore in Asia Minor and the islands off the western coast are attested by archaeological evidence. More than 272 epigraphic sources, nearly all of which are translated and discussed in this study, further document the cults of both goddesses in these regions. This monograph is the first study to draw on such a substantial body of material in order to demonstrate the cultic connections between cities in the Greek East and other parts of the Greek world. The archaeological and written sources provide insight into both regional and Pan-Hellenic features of the sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore, including their architectural layouts, the iconography of votive offerings, festivals, rituals, and the development of these practices over time. In assessing these regional and Pan-Hellenic characteristics, the analysis draws on the full range of archaeological and written evidence from across the Greek world. The available evidence indicates that the cults and sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore in the Greek East largely retained Greek characteristics; however, in certain regions, such as Caria, their cults were partially shaped by indigenous religious traditions. Despite Greek and later Roman hegemony, the cult of Demeter in other parts of Asia Minor, beyond western Asia Minor, was unable to supplant the cult of Cybele and other local chthonic fertility deities.
Churchill and the Crown
The story of Winston Churchill's long relationship with the Crown—from radical liberal under Edward VII to his last premiership as an old man under the young Queen Elizabeth II. Winston Churchill was born in a palace and was given a funeral worthy of a king. His family had enjoyed an intimate association with the British monarchy stretching back centuries. As King Edward VIII said of him, 'I have never met anyone of royal blood who exemplified in such high degree the ideal of the 'good king.' Churchill and the Crown tells the story of Churchill's relationship with the various kings and queens he served during his long political career, from young journalist under Edward VII, through his dramatic fall from grace in the First World War under George V, the frustrations of appeasement during the interwar period and his relationship with Edward VIII during the abdication crisis of 1936, culminating in his Finest Hour in the Second World War under George VI and the coda of Churchill's public service to his final monarch: Queen Elizabeth II. Ted Powell analyses Churchill's writings on monarchy and his role in preserving and establishing monarchies outside Britain. At the core of the book is a series of studies of Churchill's relationships with the monarchs he served. These studies offer a two-way perspective, examining both Churchill's view of individual monarchs and their attitudes towards him. They shed light not only on Churchill's career but also on the changing role of the monarchy in 20th century Britain.
Carlos Had a Dream
Carlos Had a Dream charts the remarkable Carlos Carvalhal era at Sheffield Wednesday, which saw him become the first foreign manager in the Owls' long history when he arrived in the summer of 2015. In the months that followed the Portuguese transformed the culture at Hillsborough, turning Wednesday into promotion contenders with a style of football that wowed Owls fans and took them as close to a return to the Premier League as they have been since the turn of the Millennium. It was early in the Dejphon Chansiri ownership era and the Owls played football that reignited belief amongst a fanbase and carried Wednesday to within touching distance of Premier League glory - before it all gradually fell apart. This is the story of that period, told by a man who was at the coalface for every cough and splutter.
Vnitřní čas člověka
Autor provede čtenáře vědeckými poznatky o biologických hodinách člověka. S využitím vlastních studií i poznatků mezinárodní komunity vědců zabývajících se spánkem a biologů studujících cirkadiánní rytmy, ilustruje vliv denní doby na naše zdraví: jak nám večerní procházky zajistí lepší spánek, jak jídlo po západu slunce ovlivňuje naši hmotnost i jaké účinky má na náš život doba užívání léků.
V moderní době jsme zanedbali zásadní součást naší biologie. Stále častěji přesouváme rutinní činnosti do nočních hodin a věnujeme se práci, cvičení a společenskému životu dlouho po setmění. Zapomněli jsme, že se naše těla se řídí 24 hodinovými biologickými hodinami, které nás vedou k nejlepšímu času na spaní, jídlo a pití. Nové vědecké poznatky dokázaly, že život mimo synchronizaci s těmito biologickými hodinami nejen narušuje spánek, ale činí nás i zranitelnějšími vůči infekcím, obezitě, cukrovce 2. typu, srdečním chorobám, rakovině a duševním onemocněním.

What Artists Do
This book explains why Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) is an influential art education movement, addresses misconceptions about TAB, and shares real-life examples from practicing teachers.
