"Rebellion is a part of youth. Sometimes it's dangerous. Instead of a sword, I hold a guitar in my hands. I'm in the same, rigid world but instead of Molotov cocktails, I've got a computer. It's a much more powerful weapon." Confessions Of A Heretic is the forthright and erudite memoir of the front man and driving force behind the Polish heavy-metal group Behemoth, currently at the top of their game following the release of their 2014 US Top 40 album The Satanist. Presented as a series of interrogations by friends and associates, the book reveals a complex man of great contrast--a health-conscious, highly personable intellectual known for his extreme views and even more extreme music--lifting the lid on everything from his clashes with the Polish Catholic church to appearing as a judge on the Polish edition of The Voice to his recent battle with leukemia.

Publikacja zbiega się z obchodami dwusetnej rocznicy utworzenia Naszej Uczelni, która jako Cesarsko-Królewski Uniwersytet Warszawski w dniu 19 listopada 1816 r. została powołana do życia dekretem Aleksandra I.

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER THE CALLER ‘Thirty-seven years in the force, and if I was allowed to choose just one thing to erase from my mind, what’s inside that room would be it.’ That’s what a LAPD Lieutenant tells Detectives Hunter and Garcia of the Ultra Violent Crimes Unit as they arrive at one of the most shocking crime scenes they have ever attended. In a completely unexpected turn of events, the detectives find themselves joining forces with the FBI to track down a serial killer whose hunting ground sees no borders; a psychopath who loves what he does because to him murder is much more than just killing – it’s an art form. Welcome to The Gallery of the Dead. PRAISE FOR CHRIS CARTER 'This is a chilling, compulsive portrait of a psychopath, and proves that Carter is now in the Jeffrey Deaver class' Daily Mail 'Punchy and fast paced' Sunday Mirror 'There's a touch of the Patricia Cornwell about Chris Carter's plotting' Mail on Sunday
Music was integral to the profound cultural, social and political changes that swept the globe in 1968. This collection of essays offers new perspectives on the role that music played in the events of that year, which included protests against the ongoing Vietnam War, the May riots in France and the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. From underground folk music in Japan to antiauthoritarian music in Scandinavia and Germany, Music and Protest in 1968 explores music's key role as a means of socio-political dissent not just in the US and the UK but in Asia, North and South America, Europe and Africa. Contributors extend the understanding of musical protest far beyond a narrow view of the 'protest song' to explore how politics and social protest played out in many genres, including experimental and avant-garde music, free jazz, rock, popular song, and film and theatre music.
W przeszłości wszelkie informacje dotyczące konopi miały charakter tajemny. Teraz, gdy coraz więcej państw wycofuje się z całkowitego zakazu jej używania, nadarza się okazja, a wraz z nią pojawia się wręcz poczucie obowiązku, aby rzucić nowe światło na ten opacznie rozumiany zakątek ezoterycznej duchowości. Rozpoczynając od przyjrzenia się najdawniejszym czasom i starożytnym eliksirom, a kończąc na wypowiedziach współczesnych mistyków, takich jak Aleister Crowley czy Timothy Leary, Philip H. Farber przedstawia sposoby na bezpieczne i skuteczne używanie konopi podczas praktyk magicznych. W swojej książce prezentuje rys historyczny, opinie najbardziej znanych magów rytualnych i zwolenników konopi, obala najpopularniejsze mity dotyczące marihuany oraz opisuje dokładne instrukcje tworzenia rytuałów z zastosowaniem tego wyjątkowego daru natury. Dowiedz się, jak wykorzystywać tę świętą roślinę w takich praktykach magicznych, jak: - wezwanie, - przywoływanie, - wygnanie, - medytacja, - uzdrawianie energią, - dywinacja/wróżbiarstwo, - aktywacja czakr, - praca z przodkami, - dokonywanie zmian na świecie.
Delving into a tumultuous year’s impact on art, culture, and politics, this book “illuminates the often-overlooked histories of 1968” (The Journal of American History). From the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, revolutions in theory, politics, and cultural experimentation swept around the world. These changes had as great a transformative impact on the right as on the left. A touchstone for activists, artists, and theorists of all stripes, the year 1968 has taken on new significance for the present moment, which bears certain uncanny resemblances to that time. The Long 1968 explores the wide-ranging impact of the year and its aftermath in politics, theory, the arts, and international relations—and its uses today.

WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE THE STARS? 'Look at a satellite image of the Earth. Where it was once as dark as night, it is now lit up like a Christmas tree. If you zoom in on a city, you'll see floodlights, neon lights, car lights, and streetlamps. If you zoom in even further, to your own bedroom, you might see lamps and TV, tablet, and phone screens. Humans have always struggled with the dark, but isn't it light enough now? What is all this artificial light doing to us and everything else that lives? What is it doing to our sleep patterns and rhythms and bodies? AN ODE TO DARKNESS explores our intimate relationship with the dark: why we are scared of it, why we need it and why the ever-encroaching light is damaging our well-being. Under the dark polar night of northern Norway, journalist Sigri Sandberg meditates on the cultural, historical, psychological and scientific meaning of darkness, all the while testing the limits of her own fear.
