George Marshall Boeken

This book, which is written in two parts, is a true story of loss, perseverance, redemption and triumph. It chronicles the life of a young girl from earliest childhood to adulthood, and focuses on her hard times and traumatizing experiences after the death of her mother and grandmother at the age of 12 and 13. It expounds on the various mistakes she made during and after her teen years, tells how she was able to overcome obstacles and turn failure into success. A return to the church brought about a transformation in her life, where she eventually discovered real love and happiness in her future husband. This book will be of interest to young and older readers because the youth population will learn to avoid bad choices, yet realize that they can be overcome and a good or better life can prevail. The older population will find affirmation that no matter how deeply in love a couple may be, failure to maintain good communication concerning issues that affect both persons' lives will create a breakdown in the relationship. But in the end, prayer and forgiveness can heal all hurts and love will endure.

Zachránit planetu? Nejdřív je potřeba prozkoumat klima našich mozků. Klimatická krize je tady a je reálná. Hory vědeckých dat a důkazů prostě nejde ignorovat. A přece se nám to daří. Na vině je však vedle obvyklých podezřelých (politiky, fosilní lobby nebo médií) i někdo další: naše vlastní mysl. Hledání odpovědi na trpkou otázku současnosti – proč navzdory kupícím se faktům o globálním oteplování vlastně nic moc nepodnikáme – proto klimatického experta George Marshalla vedlo do ordinací psychologů, vědeckých laboratoří, aktivistických štábů či politických kanceláří. Ať už se však jedná o vystrašené klimatology, konzervativní aktivisty popírající klimatickou krizi, nebo cynické politiky, Marshall nepátrá po příčinách jejich sporů a rozdílných názorů, ale naopak sleduje to společné – lidskou psychologickou a kognitivní výbavu. Jsou to totiž obranné mechanismy v našich hlavách, které reagují na alarmující podněty zvenčí, a zapříčiňují tak zdánlivě neřešitelné spory i lhostejnost. Teprve až pochopíme, jak a co nás dělí, můžeme pokročit k řešení skutečných hrozeb.
