Catherine E. Walsh examines social struggles for survival in societies deeply marked by the systemic violence of coloniality to identify practices that may cultivate the possibility of living otherwise.

40 years have passed since the release of PIECE OF MIND. More than an album, it was a thunderous statement of intent by a band whose meteoric rise from the East End of London would propel them to the world stage, thrusting them into the realms of legend. This commemorative tome, containing comics, art, and remembrances from acclaimed writers, artists, musicians and storytellers, is a powerful celebration of the unparalleled vision which inspired them -- the living legend that is IRON MAIDEN.

V roce 1999 zkompletoval Manchester United unikátní treble, když vyhrál Premier League, FA Cup a Ligu mistrů – ještě pozoruhodnější však bylo, jak se mu to podařilo, a příběhy, které za tímto historickým úspěchem stály. Když sezóna začínala, byl Manchester United na prodej, končil legendární Eric Cantona, konkurenční Arsenal byl úřadujícím dvojnásobným mistrem, David Beckham byl po vyloučení během mistrovství světa nenáviděnou postavou národa, a dokonce i pozice manažera Alexe Fergusona byla zpochybňována. Hnáni nezdolnou vůlí kapitána Roye Keana a podporováni odchovanci Beckhamem, Nickym Buttem, Ryanem Giggsem, Gary Nevillem či Paulem Scholesem se United vydali na dlouhou sérii bez porážky. Matt Dickinson byl po celou dobu blízko kabině United. Vyzdvihuje klíčové momenty a hovoří s těmi, kteří byli v centru dění, i s těmi, co zůstávali v pozadí. 1999: Je to mnohem víc než jen kniha pro fanoušky Manchesteru United; je to vhled do budování týmu, vůle po úspěchu a příběh hrdosti. Odhaluje skutečné příběhy stojící za legendou, kterou zpečetil Ole Gunnar Solskjaer vstřeleným gólem v poslední minutě finále Ligy mistrů.

Award-winning writer Matt Dickinson recalls Manchester United's historic Treble campaign in 99 compelling chapters

Chcela chytiť let, nie sa zamilovať... Molly a Andrew sú priatelia, ktorí sa stretnú raz za rok a strávia spolu sedem hodín a pätnásť minút na poslednom predvianočnom lete z Chicaga do Dublinu. Nič viac, nič menej. Popíjajú príšerné víno a vymieňajú si celoročné zážitky. Je to tradícia, ktorej sa ani jeden z nich nemieni vzdať. Lenže tento rok je ich let pre snehovú kalamitu zrušený. Pre Molly sú Vianoce len pár dní voľna navyše, Andrew je však hotový fanatik zamilovaný do sviatočného obdobia – viac sa už líšiť ani nemôžu. Namiesto toho, aby urobili jedinú rozumnú vec a oslávili sviatky spolu v Amerike, Molly sa rozhodne pre niečo veľmi hlúpe. Priam iracionálne. Prisahá Andrewovi, že ho dostane domov a ešte k tomu aj stihne mamkinu slávnostnú vianočnú večeru, na ktorú sa teší celý rok. Čas beží, ale Molly má v zálohe vždy nový plán. A nič sa predsa nemôže pokaziť, kým všetky taxíky, lietadlá, lode a vlaky pôjdu načas. Zatiaľ čo na mesto padá snehová pokrývka a Molly s Andrewom si myslia, že im nie je súdené byť spolu, vesmír má vlastný plán...

Matt Dickinson's mountain-bound narratives require no dramatic embellishment, as the inhospitable conditions of Mount Everest, where he has nearly perished twice, provide ample drama. His assertion that mere footsteps feel like marathons is entirely believable. Unlike his non-fiction work, this fictional effort is infused with heightened tension and excitement. After her tycoon husband dies on Everest, determined TV presenter Josie Turner seeks "closure," spurred on by her ratings-driven bosses. With veteran avalanche expert Hal Maher, who has his own motives for facing the mountain, they embark on a perilous ascent that quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival amid a fierce storm. Dickinson's technical expertise is impeccable, particularly regarding the mechanics of avalanches, but his true triumph lies in depicting Everest as a tangible, enigmatic adversary—both alluring and terrifying. The harsh environment, with its relentless silence, assaults both mind and body; for Josie, the cold becomes an enemy intent on her destruction. Dickinson effectively translates his firsthand experiences into fiction, crafting a gripping narrative that explores the perilous relationship between humanity and nature.

Josie ist zu allem bereit - und ahnt nicht, was für eine weiße Hölle sie am Everest erwartet.

Verslag van de beklimming van de Mount Everest door een Britse cameraman die geen enkele klimervaring had.

Describes the ill-fated Mr. Everest expedition in the spring of 1996, when a storm hit and killed eight climbers on the northern part of the mountain.

In this pioneering anthology, Clint Willis presents 75 years of great writing -- from Neil O'Dell to Jon Krakauer -- on the fabled peaks. Here are stories of two British expeditions to Everest in the 1920s; a piece on the 1939 K2 attempt that claimed four climbers' lives; a firsthand account by the Sherpa who reached the summit of Everest in 1953 with Edmund Hillary; the story of the first successful American assault on K2 in 1978; a British photographer's view of the calamitous 1996 storm on Everest; and many more -- a cornucopia of mountaineering thrills for adventurous readers.

It seemed like any other season on Mount Everest. Ten expeditions from around the world were preparing for their summit push, gathered together to try for mountaineering's ultimate prize. Twenty-four hours later, eight of those climbers were dead, victims of the most devastating storm ever to hit Everest. On the North face of the mountain, a British expedition found itself in the thick of the drama. Against all odds, film-maker Matt Dickinson and professional climber Alan Hinkes managed to battle through hurricane-force winds to reach the summit. In Death Zone , Matt Dickinson describes the extraordinary event that put the disaster on the front cover of Time and Newsweek . The desperate attempts of teams on the southern side of the mountain, fatal errors that led to the deaths of three Indian climbers on the North Ridge and the moving story of Rob Hall, the New Zealand guide who stayed with his stricken client, and paid with his life. Based on interviews with the surviving climbers and the first-hand experience of having lived through the killer storm, this gripping non-fiction book tackles issues at the very heart of mountaineering. Death Zone is an extraordinary story of human triumph, folly and disaster.
