AK MARE BARROW NIEČO VIE, TAK TO, ŽE JE ODLIŠNÁ.V elektrizujúcom pokračovaní románu Červená kráľovná sa stupňuje boj medzi neustále sa zväčšujúcou armádou Červených so špeciálnymi schopnosťami a zvyškom sveta, ktorý je ešte stále rozdelený podľa krvi. Krv hlavnej hrdinky Mare Barrow je síce červená, no jej schopnosť ovládať blesky z nej robí nebezpečnú zbraň, ktorú chce mať kráľovský dvor pod kontrolou. Mare sa síce spolu s Calom podarí utiecť a zobrať so sebou aj tajný zoznam s menami tých, ktorí sú „novou krvou“, pomstychtivý Maven, ktorý je teraz už kráľom, je však rozhodnutý ich nájsť a zničiť. A tak sa Mare vydáva na najnebezpečnejšiu misiu svojho života – je rozhodnutá vypátrať ďalších Červených so špeciálnymi schopnosťami, aby s ich pomocou porazila Mavena a ukončila vládu Strieborných. Musí však čeliť aj ďalšiemu nebezpečenstvu, ktoré vyviera z jej vlastného vnútra. Zlomí ju váha životov, ktoré boli položené v mene revolúcie, a stane sa z nej rovnaký netvor, akého sa snaží poraziť? Alebo ju faloš a zrada už navždy zocelia? Mare Barrow nemá na výber... Musí čeliť temnote, ktorá sa jej začína rozpínať v duši.

Príbeh neobyčajnej rodiny z horiaceho domu, plný lásky, odvahy a odhodlania, otvorený pre všetkých, ktorým záleží na budúcnosti našej planéty a neboja sa začať od seba.Keď mala klimatická aktivistka Greta Thunberg jedenásť rokov, spolu so svojimi rodičmi a mladšou sestrou prežívali obrovskú krízu. Greta prestala jesť, prestala rozprávať a žiadne volanie o pomoc nepomáhalo. Pri zúfalom hľadaní riešenia si uvedomili, že hlavným dôvodom jej nepokoja môže byť práve rastúce riziko klimatickej katastrofy.Scény zo srdca, ktoré zaznamenala Gretina matka, slávna švédska operná speváčka Malena Ernman, sú inšpiratívnym svedectvom o tom, ako jej rodina začala zápasiť nielen s osobnými, ale aj globálnymi problémami. Prevádzajú nás celou kľukatou cestou od prijatia diagnóz svojich dvoch dcér až po Gretino rozhodnutie začať svoj školský štrajk za klímu, ktorý vyvolal obrovský ohlas po celom svete.

Titul Vyslobodení a vyslobodzujúci hovorí o kruciáte oslobodenia človeka. Teda o tom, čo vedie ľudí k abstitencii a čo takýto život prináša nielen tým, ktorí podpísali kruciátu a zaviazali sa žiť bez alkoholu. Kniha tiež ponúka modlitbu Krížovej cesty "Vyslobodení a vyslobodzujúci" a Abstinenčné "krédo" Kruciáty oslobodenia človeka.Úryvok z knihy: "Potrebujeme dnes Kruciátu oslobodenia človeka?... Čo je tým neustále bijúcim srdcom Kruciáty oslobodenia človeka, čo zabezpečuje jej trvanie a rozvoj? Je to zážitok slobody. Paradoxne ten, kto prijíma výzvu Kruciáty ako obetu na úmysle vyslobodenia iných, sám radikálne vstupuje do priestoru slobody. Zakúša neobyčajne silno pocit, že je niekým. Jeho rozhodnutie, predtým ako začne premieňať okolie, formuje najprv jeho samého. Naoko drobná záležitosť abstinencie od alokoholu sa pre mnohých ľudí stáva podnetom, ktorý dáva do pohybu ich rozvoj smerom k osobnej plnosti, smerom ku slobode."

V Osle je nájdené mŕtve telo ženy, ktorá je usmrtená nevšedným spôsobom. Z tela má vycicanú krv a na krku stopy po železnom chrupe.

Na rozdiel od ostatných, on vidí za brutálnymi vraždami aj iný motív. Vraždí naozaj vampirista?

KATASTROFA U CARRHAE, GALSKÁ VÁLKA, VÁLKA CAESARA S POMPEIEM, ALEXANDRIJSKÁ, AFRICKÁ A HISPÁNSKÁ VÁLKACaesarovy legie jsou třetím svazkem projektu o vojenské historii antického Říma, tentokrát věnovaným poměrně krátkému, leč bitvami a klíčovými událostmi nabitému úseku římských vojenských dějin, tomu nejproslulejšímu, a přece neznámému. Krom porážky římských legií u Carrhae, kde přišel o život Crassus, vítěz nad Spartakem, sledují výhradně čtyři velké války Gaia Iulia Caesara, tu s Galy, téměř ukončenou vítězstvím nad Vercingetorigem, občanskou válku s Gnaeem Pompeiem, válku v Egyptě, která Caesara přivedla do blízkosti Kleopatry, válku v Africe se stále nezlomenými stoupenci už mrtvého Pompeia a poslední válku Gaia Iulia proti Pompeiovým synům v Hispánii.

Spisovatel přijíždí v čase tuhých mrazů do hlavního města, aby se s činovníky celostátního Svazu spisovatelů dohodl na novém vydání svého deset let zakázaného románu Padlá metropol. Veze s sebou soudek domácí pikantní sóji, přestože profesor, který si na ní pochutnával a kterého si vážil pro jeho nesmiřitelnost a erudici natolik, že mu posloužil jako předobraz k postavě Čuanga Motýla, je už po smrti, aniž by jeho dílo četl. Takto nás o dalších sedmnáct let poté uvádí do románu o románu spisovatel Ťia Pching-wa ze západní metropole Si-anu. Ve své fiktivní životní zpovědi stárnoucího spisovatele, kterou věnuje sám sobě, vypráví o své bytostné lásce k psaní a literatuře, o cenzuře a strachu, o celostátních demonstracích v roce 1989 a následných represích, o politice, ženách a přátelství, o vysídleném čínském venkově a svém vztahu k domovu.

Kniha Český spor o Milana Kunderu, již edičně připravil Jiří P. Kříž, shrnuje ve třech oddílech texty 40 autorů, které se z mnoha úhlů pohledu vztahují k obvinění vznesenému proti Milanu Kunderovi v týdeníku Respekt roku 2008 a ke knize Jana Nováka Kundera. Český život a doba z roku 2020. Jde o knihu pramennou, jež v jednom svazku zachycuje často vášnivou, zaujatou a osobně vyhrocenou časopiseckou polemiku z časového odstupu a ukazuje tak, že v ní jde mnohdy o něco víc než jen o spor o nejúspěšnějšího a nejpřekládanějšího českého spisovatele druhé poloviny dvacátého století a let následujících, ale o samu schopnost Čechů odpovědně, pravdivě, poctivě a především citlivě se vztahovat k vlastní mnohovrstevné a složité poválečné minulosti. Mezi autory v knize zastoupenými najdeme mimo jiné Sylvii Richterovou, Jiřího Přibáně, Milana Uhdeho, Pavla Kohouta, Vladimíra Justa, Jana Nováka, Jiřího Kratochvila, Mojmíra Jeřábka, Václava Bělohradského, Ondřeje Štindla, Josefa Rauvolfa, Karla Halouna, Ladislavu Chateau či Kateřinu Tučkovou.

Druhá kniha Posledních potomků začíná několik týdnů po událostech první knihy. Stále je třeba najít dvě části Trojzubce ráje a obě skupiny jsou odhodlané nezopakovat své předchozí chyby.

První román populárního autora Patrika Hartla vychází po osmi letech s filmovou obálkou. Román s vtipným nadhledem vypráví příběh čtyř kamarádů, kteří si 20 let po maturitě uvědomí, že ve skutečnosti nežijí tak, jak si v osmnácti představovali. A protože si musí přiznat, že by sami ze sebe nejspíš byli zklamaní, rozhodnou se, že s tím něco chtějí udělat. Obsah zůstává stejný, avšak obálka a vnitřní strany knihy skrývají autentické fotografie z natáčení stejnojmenného filmu autora a režiséra Patrika Hartla.

An inquisitive, expansive and fascinating exploration of humans as creatures of our own makingOther species adapt to their environments, we alone create ours. Over generations, we have remade the world to suit ourselves - using improved knowledge and technology to confront the traditional scourges - and for the most part we enjoy prosperity beyond the dreams of our ancestors. What's more, in changing our world, we have also reshaped the human phenotype - the interaction between genes and environment that moulds our bodies and minds.The results can be seen in the streets of our post-industrial cities. We are taller and heavier, and live longer. We think and behave differently, and die from once-rare diseases.Our experiences of life have been transformed, and in turn so have our societies. Weaving together biology, social anthropology, epidemiology and history, Edwin Gale examines the shifting physical and mental dimensions of our lives, from ageing to illness, food production to reproduction, designer bodies to IQ tests, and asks: are we a self-domesticated species?

Returning to the Sanctuary of the Redeemers – Thomas Cale is told by the Lord Militant that the destruction of mankind is necessary – the only way to undo God's greatest mistake.Cale seemingly accepts his role in the ending of the world – fate has painted him as the Left Hand of God, the Angel of Death. Absolute power is within his grasp – the terrifying zeal and military might of the Redeemers a weapon for him to handle as simply as he once used a knife.But perhaps not even the grim power that the Redeemers hold over Cale is enough – the boy who turns from love to poisonous hatred in a heartbeat, the boy who switches between kindness and sheer violence in the blink of an eye. The annihilation that the Redeemers seek may well be in Cale's hands – but his soul is far stranger than they could ever know.

Autor bestsellerov č. 1 denníka The New York Times Čo keby? a Ako na to? odpovedá na ďalšie mimoriadne čudné otázky, ktoré vám nikdy nenapadlo položiť.Milióny ľudí na celom svete, ktorí si prečítali a zbožňujú knihu Čo keby?, kladú ďalšie otázky, navyše čoraz podivnejšie. Našťastie, na pomoc prichádza tvorca internetového komiksu xkcd Randall Munroe. Plánujete skĺznuť po hasičskej tyči z Mesiaca na Zem? Najťažšou fázou bude prežiť pristátie. Nádejate sa, že atmosféru možno ochladiť tým, že všetci majitelia chladničiek naraz otvoria dvere svojich spotrebičov? Možno nastal čas na krátky úvod do termodynamiky. Chcete zistiť, čo by sa stalo, keby ste sa viezli na liste vrtule helikoptéry, postavili budovu s miliardou poschodí, vyrobili lávovú lampu obsahujúcu skutočnú lávu alebo vyskočili na vybuchujúci gejzír? Dobre teda, ak na tom trváte.Skôr ako sa vydáte na výlet do vesmíru, nakŕmite tyranosaura obyvateľmi New Yorku alebo naplníte všetky kostoly banánmi, nezabudnite nazrieť do tohto praktického sprievodcu nepraktickými nápadmi. Munroe sa nedá vyviesť z konceptu absurdnosťou a pri všetkom od fyziky hojdačiek cez návrh katapultov na štartovanie lietadiel až po odpovede na otázky čitateľov čerpá z najnovších výsledkov výskumu, pričom sa vyjadruje jasne a stručne a pripája objasňujúce a občas aj desivé ilustrácie. Ustavične demonštruje, že skúmaním, ako by svet fungoval za veľmi špecifických a extrémnych situácií, sa človek môže veľa naučiť.Z anglického originálu What if? 2.0 (Riverhead Books, New York, 2022) preložil Róbert Hrebíček.

Nevlastní bratia Michel a Bruno majú spoločnú matku, ale inak nič viac. Michel je výskumník, idealista, prísny zástanca determinizmu, ktorý je neschopný milovať, nahrádza život prácou, jedlom z Monoprix a sedatívami. Bruno je voľnomyšlienkar, hoci viac v teoretickej ako v praktickej rovine, a len zúfalo sa snaží dopracovať k sexuálnym pôžitkom. Obaja sú typickými príslušníkmi atomizovanej spoločnosti, v ktorej náboženstvo ustúpilo plytkej ezoterike a filozofiám New Age a lásku nahradilo prázdne sexuálne splynutie. Román Elementárne častice je príbehom dvoch bratov, ale jeho skutočnou témou je rozklad súčasnej spoločnosti, jej predstáv o sebe samej, domnienok, jej politickej nekorektnosti a prejavov vo všetkom od antropológie po listy čitateliek v dievčenských časopisoch. Rozklad moderných životov a lásky. Román Michela Houellebecqa je raz vtipný, ostrý, inokedy didaktický, dojemný a naturalistický.

V posledních desetiletích došlo k obrovským změnám v rodinném chování. Přispěla k tomu především dostupná spolehlivá hormonální antikoncepce a metody asistované reprodukce – ta nyní může udělat rodiče v podstatě z kohokoliv a kdykoliv. Informace o technickém provedení metod asistované reprodukce jsou dobře dostupné, je jich plný internet.

Mnozí lidé nahlížejí na alchymii jako na metaforu pro vnitřní transformaci. To je však pouze polovina celého příběhu. Podle Catherine MacCounové alchymie není pouhou metaforou. Je to opravdová magie. Transformace vlastního vnitřního světa je pro alchymistu cestou k transformování světa vnějšího. Prostřednictvím studia principů alchymie můžeme dosáhnout výjimečných výsledků při konání běžných činů díky tomu, že porozumíme skutečným principům, podle nichž svět funguje. br> Catherine MacCounová, povoláním spisovatelka a literární spolupracovnice, se věnuje studiu a praktikování alchymie dlouhá léta. Její dílo získalo řadu grantů a ocenění včetně National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in prose. Je rovněž autorkou románu Beyond the Abbey Gates (Za branami opatství).

Now Ferry has translated Horace's two books of iEpistlesi, in which Horace perfected the conversational verse medium that gives his voice such dazzling immediacy, speaking in these letters with such directness, wit, and urgency to young writers, to friends, to his patron Maecenas, to Emperor Augustus himself. It is the voice of a free man, talking about how to get along in a Roman world full of temptations, opportunities, and contingencies, and how to do so with one's integrity intact. Horace's world, so unlike our own and yet so like it, comes to life in these poems. And there are also the poems -- the famous Art of Poetry and others -- about the tasks and responsibilities of the writer truth to the demands of one's medium, fearless clear-sighted self-knowledge, and unillusioned, uncynical realism, joyfully recognizing the world for what it is.p

From Tony Hsieh to Amy Chua to Jeremy Lin, Chinese Americans are now arriving at the highest levels of American business, civic life, and culture. But what makes this story of immigrant ascent unique is that Chinese Americans are emerging at just the same moment when China has emerged -- and indeed may displace America -- at the center of the global scene. What does it mean to be Chinese American in this moment And how does exploring that question alter our notions of just what an American is and will be p In many ways, Chinese Americans today are exemplars of the American Dream during a crowded century and a half, this community has gone from indentured servitude, second-class status and outright exclusion to economic and social integration and achievement. But this narrative obscures too much the Chinese Americans still left behind, the erosion of the American Dream in general, the emergence -- perhaps -- of a Chinese Dream, and how other Americans will look at their countrymen of Chinese descent if China and America ever become adversaries. As Chinese Americans reconcile competing beliefs about what constitutes success, virtue, power, and purpose, they hold a mirror up to their country in a time of deep flux. p In searching, often personal essays that range from the meaning of Confucius to the role of Chinese Americans in shaping how we read the Constitution to why he hates the hyphen in Chinese-American, Eric Liu pieces together a sense of the Chinese American identity in these auspicious years for both countries. He considers his own public career in American media and government his daughter's efforts to hold and release aspects of her Chinese inheritance and the still-recent history that made anyone Chinese in America seem foreign and disloyal until proven otherwise. Provocative, often playful but always thoughtful, Liu breaks down his vast subject into bite-sized chunks, along the way providing insights into universal matters identity, nationa

This book is a wholly life affirming and positive account of how spiritual evolution is the domain of all of us, whether we realize and accept it or not. It is very practical and down to earth. It explains how the great spiritual traditions of the world agree to a surprisingly wide extent as to what, in essence, a human being is comprised, how the truth of really and truly what we are may be realized, and under what circumstances true and lasting happiness can be availed. The book shows how what is now known as mindfulness is in truth part of the essential make up of us all and how it comprises something of the utmost value if it is perceived as a path not just to therapeutic well-being but to spiritual realization. The book outlines just how accessible this subject is because it is essentially practical. It uses examples from across the globe and down the ages from many traditions, cultures, and religions but does so in a manner free of dogma and with a light touch. The reader is encouraged to investigate and given various exercises and ideas to use. One is left with the feeling that the outcome and destiny of all of us is actually blissful and full of love and well-being, and that is entirely within reach of all of us if we are prepared to approach this vast subject with an open mind and an open heart.

In the remote northeast corner of Oregon lies the ruggedly beautiful Zumwalt Prairie. A wild expanse of untilled ground covering nearly two hundred square miles, the Zumwalt is almost entirely managed by cattle ranchers. It also is home to one of the highest concentrations of hawks in North America, including red tailed, ferruginous, and Swainsons hawks. Strong and beautiful, these buteo hawks usually depend on uncultivated, unpeopled prairies. Marcy Houle, a wildlife biologist and student, first went to the Zumwalt in 1979 to discover what attracts and sustains the buteos there in such startling abundance. Houle explores the vast prairie on foot and horseback, and by truck, cataloging its hawks, studying its complex ecosystem, and meeting its people. Fueled by her youth, her spirit, her humorand in part by hernaivetshe bands birds, outruns a bull, climbs into nests, and pullstogether the fac tious community of ranchers, towns people, andgovernment employees. Her findings, eloquently reported, show that ranchers and grazing and wildlife not only can coexist, but in some instances must coexist if we are to save the last of the native prairies. In an epilogue to this new edition, Houle returns to the Zumwalt to look at how the prairie is faring two decades later. The American West is undergoing tremendous change and a historic way of life is fighting for survival. But Houle finds reason for hope in the Zumwaltin the hawks and ranchers that are still there, and also in creative new partnerships. For example, the Nature Conservancy bought 42 square miles of the grassland in 2000, with a plan to encourage sustainablecattle grazing and let ranchers play a role in the stewardship of the land.This and other strategies are important to explore, Houle reminds us, if the ranchers and wildlife of the Zumwalt are to persist and the prairie to endure.

Many thousands of Irish peasants fled from the country in the terrible famine winter of 1847-48, following the road to the ports and the Liverpool ferries to make the dangerous passage across the Atlantic. The human toll of Black '47, the worst year of the famine, is notorious, but the lives of the emigrants themselves have remained largely hidden, untold because of their previous obscurity and deep poverty. In emThe End of Hidden Irelandem, Scally brings their lives to light. Focusing on the townland of Ballykilcline in Roscommon, Scally offers a richly detailed portrait of Irish rural life on the eve of the catastrophe. From their internal lives and values, to their violent conflict with the English Crown, from rent strikes to the potato blight, he takes the emigrants on each stage of their journey out of Ireland to New York. Along the way, he offers rare insights into the character and mentality of the immigrants as they arrived in America in their millions during the famine years. Hailed as a distinguished work of social history, this book also is a tale of adventure and human survival, one that does justice to a tragic generation with sympathy but without sentiment.

It is late 1955. From tumultuous Nicosia, snooping US Navy crews regularly taunt the Soviet giant with their Boomerang surveillance flights north into the Pond - the Black Sea. Nasser is in power in Egypt, Israel is independent, and Great Britain is retrenching her Middle East forces to newly strategic Cyprus. There, at the center of waning British influence, these flights superimpose Cold War tensions on the brittle politics of the region, while in Washington, they fuel inter-service rivalries and stir up memories and paybacks long overdue.p Against a backdrop of seething Cypriot tensions and growing terrorism, one American crew bravely pursues an important intelligence catch, and their story spins out against the unusual ethical and romantic conflict their pilot faces as he grapples with the drive to protect his men and, at the same time, perform his top secret mission. We watch the Beast, the specialized American surveillance aircraft, take center stage in the lives of its crew in their adventures on a dark night in a strange part of the world. Cypriot patriots and Cold Warriors, the British and as the alluring Czech spy-for-hire describes them the not so British, churn toward a showdown engineered by a crafty American intelligence master. p Finally, we watch as an American Admiral and a British Field Marshall - both historical personages - maneuver to insure that greater values are preserved as they cope with the fallout from the highly charged intersection of their national interests.p

pbOphelia's story in a way you've never heard it before, and seven more ways as well.b pOphelia is trapped, stuck inside the machinery that has created her consciousness, fighting to be heard. Hamlet, overwhelmed by the ceaseless flood of media, mindlessly watches TV, consuming a mish-mash of beauty and horror a daily soup of innocence and violence. The two of them hopelessly confined, and separated by the Atlantic Ocean. pA polemic response to Heiner Mueller's iHamletmachine, i iOpheliamachine iis a postmodern tale of love, sex and politics in a fragmented world of confused emotions and global, virtual sexuality. Since its premiere in 2013, Magda Romanska's celebrated experimental play has been performed and studied around the world, with each culture and language feeding into and responding to iOpheliamachinei's collage of modern existence. pThis edited collection brings together eight different translations of the play, offering English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Romanian and Polish language interpretations of Romanska's original text. Along with two introductory essays, these different versions of iOpheliamachinei provide academics, artists and teachers the opportunity to study a fascinating intersection of Shakespeare, translation, adaptation, feminism and avant-garde theatre.p

Minstrel Weather is a classic nature appreciation text by Marian Storm featuring the following excerpt Though January has days that dress in saffron for their going, and noons of yellow light, foretelling crocuses, the month is yet not altogether friendly. The year is moving now toward its most unpitying season. Nights that came on kindly may turn the meadows to iron, tear off the last faithful leaves from oaks, drive thick clouds across the moon, to end in a violent dawn.

pThis book showcases a unique, innovative form for contemporary life narrative scholarship. Life Narrative is a dynamic and interdisciplinary field defined through attention to diverse styles of personal and autobiographical narration and to subjectivity and ethics in acts of self-representation. The essay is a uniquely sympathetic mode for such scholarship, responsive to diverse methods, genres, and concepts and enabling a flexible, hybrid critical and creative approach. Many of the essays curated for this volume are by the authors of creative works of life writing who are seeking to reflect critically on disciplinary issues connected to practice, ethics, audience, or genre. Others show academics from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds engaged in creative critical self-reflection, using methods of cultural analysis, ethnography, or embodied scholarship to address foundational and emerging issues and concepts in relation to identity, experience, or subjectivity. ppEssays in Life Writing positions the essay as a unique nexus of creative and critical practice, available to academics publishing peer-reviewed scholarly work from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, and a form of scholarship that is contributing in exciting and vigorous ways to the development of new knowledge in Life Narrative as a field. ppThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal iLife Writingi. p

pElliptic equations of critical Sobolev growth have been the target of investigation for decades because they have proved to be of great importance in analysis, geometry, and physics. The equations studied here are of the well-known Yamabe type. They involve Schr dinger operators on the left hand side and a critical nonlinearity on the right hand side.pbrp A significant development in the study of such equations occurred in the 1980s. It was discovered that the sequence splits into a solution of the limit equation--a finite sum of bubbles--and a rest that converges strongly to zero in the Sobolev space consisting of square integrable functions whose gradient is also square integrable. This splitting is known as the integral theory for blow-up. In this book, the authors develop the pointwise theory for blow-up. They introduce new ideas and methods that lead to sharp pointwise estimates. These estimates have important applications when dealing with sharp constant problems a case where the energy is minimal and compactness results a case where the energy is arbitrarily large. The authors carefully and thoroughly describe pointwise behavior when the energy is arbitrary.pbrp Intended to be as self-contained as possible, this accessible book will interest graduate students and researchers in a range of mathematical fields.p

Rudolf Steiners' vast body of literary work includes not a small number of lectures and compilations of lectures such as this one. Primarily concerning itself with the evolution of mankind and with the pre-modern theories of Blavatskys' time it claims a sort of stage-by-stage descent away from the cosmic but towards an improved mankind increasingly able to reason and potentially grasp true spiritual principles. That is, that archaic man had direct help in the post-Atlantis period as he deems it from higher beings.It speaks in some degree of Galileo, Bruno, and Kepler, among other various figures.

Arguably the last of the 'traditional' tramways to operate in Britain, Dundee's fleet of some 56 trams were to survive through until the mid-1950s when - despite considerable opposition - this popular form of transport was replaced by bus. The final Dundee trams operated in October 1956. - The Lost Tramways of Scotland series documents the tram networks which were at the heart of many of Britain's growing towns and cities from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. - Transport expert Peter Waller, author of numerous works on the regional tram systems of the UK, guides the reader along the route of the network and discusses its key features stop by stop. - As well as rigorously detailed transport history, these volumes provide an intimate glimpse into life as it was lived during this period, and the recognisable streets which have been maintained or transformed through the decades. - An informative, accessible and portable resource for the tram enthusiast as well as the general reader, and a superb souvenir or gift for visitors past and present. - Photo illustrated throughout, including many archive images which are appearing in print for the first time.

'I was happy being machinepwhen round the bend beside a streampwas birdsong happening in the trees.'pbrpRuth McIlroy is a poet of the 'tilting world'. Her lyrics are charged with immediacy and proceed off-kilter in the revelation of familiar experience as unfamiliar and normality as something quite other. There is much here, directly and indirectly, of heroic Gaelic song, both ancient and modern, conveying humour, darkness and arresting beauty executed with startling, sure-footed precision. Whether in lamentation, the conjuring of a curse or jogging in the park, in every mode the singer is possessed by the song. I once asked a Gaelic singer from the Isle of Lewis - emWhat are you thinking about when you sing these songs Oh the song mostly, the songem, she said. Ruth McIlroy has this secret and doesn't so much make it new as show us that it never grew old.
