How the deadliest storm in modern history ripped Pakistan in two and led the world to the brink of nuclear war when American and Soviet forces converged in the Bay of Bengal In November 1970, a storm set a collision course with the most densely populated coastline on Earth. Over the course of just a few hours, the Great Bhola Cyclone would kill 500,000 people and begin a chain reaction of turmoil, genocide, and war. The Vortex is the dramatic story of how that storm sparked a country to revolution. Bhola made landfall during a fragile time, when Pakistan was on the brink of a historic election. The fallout ignited a conflagration of political intrigue, corruption, violence, idealism, and bravery that played out in the lives of tens of millions of Bangladeshis. Authors Scott Carney and Jason Miklian take us deep into the story of the cyclone and its aftermath, told through the eyes of the men and women who lived through it, including the infamous president of Pakistan, General Yahya Khan, and his close friend Richard Nixon; American expats Jon and Candy Rhode; soccer star-turned-soldier Hafiz Uddin Ahmad; and a young Bengali revolutionary, Mohammed Hai. Thrillingly paced and written with incredible detail, The Vortex is not just a story about the painful birth of a new nation but also a universal tale of resilience and liberation in the face of climate emergency that affects every single person on the planet.

What are our bodies really capable of? We like to sit in air-conditioned comfort, yet each year millions of ordinary people train in CrossFit boxes, compete in Tough Mudders, and challenge themselves in Spartan races. They are connecting with their environment and, whether they realise it or not, unlocking their hidden evolutionary potential. No one exemplifies this better than Wim Hof, whose remarkable ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study. Through him, we are just beginning to understand how cold adaptation might combat autoimmune diseases and chronic pain — and possibly even reverse the development of one of our greatest killers: diabetes. Award-winning journalist Scott Carney investigates the astonishing and sometimes dangerous world of body transformation. He reveals techniques you can try at home, but his own journey culminates in a record-bending, 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt Kilimanjaro — wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and running shoes.

Zu warm? Schnell die Klimaanlage einschalten. Zu kalt? Lieber die Heizung aufdrehen, bevor wir uns erkälten. Wim Hof, der holländische Survival-Profi, der zahlreiche Rekorde in Sachen Kälteresistenz hält, weiß aber: Wir brauchen diese Annehmlichkeiten gar nicht, ganz im Gegenteil, sie machen uns sogar krank. Sein Credo: Die Evolution hat uns robuster gemacht, als wir denken. Kälte, Hitze und Höhe tun uns also gut. Scott Carney hat in einem Selbstversuch die Wim-Hof-Methode getestet und seinen eigenen Körper auf eine Reise bis an den Rand der menschlichen Belastbarkeit geschickt, unter anderem auf den Kilimandscharo, nur mit Turnschuhen und Shorts bekleidet. Er hat festgestellt: Extrem ist extrem gut – und extrem gesund!

To vše ve snaze pochopit, čeho jsme skutečně schopni.
