From the daughter of the bestselling author of Father Joe: the poignant and ultimately hopeful memoir of a young girl’s struggle to live a normal childhood in the chaotic seventies, and to overcome sexual abuse by her famous father
Earlier this year, Tony Hendra’s memoir, Father Joe: The Man Who Saved My Soul, spent thirteen weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. The book detailed his life as a comedian who launched the careers of John Belushi and Chevy Chase and helped create such cult classics as This Is Spinal Tap, while he struggled with inner demons including alcohol and drug abuse. But there was a glaring omission in his supposed tell-all confessional: his sexual abuse of his daughter, Jessica Hendra, when she was a young girl.
After more than thirty years of silence, Hendra has decided to reveal the truth. In this poignant memoir, she reveals the full story behind the New York Times article that rocked the world and detailed her father’s crimes. But Jessica’s story is no footnote to her father’s story. No One Was Listening is also the inspiring story of her own journey, and how she was finally able to find healing within, after years of struggling with anorexia, bulimia, and low self-esteem. Set against the backdrop of the chaotic seventies, Hendra’s memoir follows Jessica and her sister Kathy as they strove to make a normal life for themselves amidst the madness, sex, and drug abuse that her parents and their friends—many of the household names in the world of show business—participated in. No One Was Listening reveals the hope and heartache of a young girl who was faced with a loss of innocence at an early age, who faced a slow and
painful recovery, and who finally found contentment and peace within.

نتساءل حول هذا "التصميم العظيم" للكون. نحدّق باتجاه السماوات الشاسعة ونسأل أنفسنا أسئلة مثل: متى وكيف بدأ الكون؟ كيف يمكننا فهم العالم الذي وَجَدنا أنفسنا فيه؟ كيف حصل كل ذلك؟...تلك كانت أسئلة الفلسفة، وقد صارت اليوم أسئلة العلم. في هذا الكتاب يقدّم ستيفن هوكينج وليونارد مولدينو أحدث الأفكار العلميّة عن ألغاز الكون المستمرة، بلغة تتميز بالوضوح والعلمية والبساطة. فيشرحان الاجابات التي فرضتها الاكتشافات والنظريات العلميّة منذ آينشتاين الى فيزياء الكَمّ إلى النظريّة إم. فالصورة الكلاسيكية عن حركة الأجسام لا يمكنها تفسير ما يبدو سلوكاً عجيباً على المستويات الذريّة وما دون الذريّة، فكان ضرورياً وجود إطار مختلف يسمّى فيزياء الكمّ. لكن هذه الفيزياء تقوم على مفاهيم مختلفة جداً عن الواقع كما نفهمه أو نراه.بحسب نظرية الكم ليس للكون وجود أو تاريخ واحد فقط. وهي فكرة نعادها أننا مجرّد كون من أكوان عديدة لكل منها قوانين طبيعية مختلفة. والنظريّة إم تقدّم تفسيراً للقوانين التي تحكم كوننا، المرشّح الوحيد الموجود "لنظرية كل شيء"، وهي النظرية الموحّدة التي كان يبحث عنها آينشتاين، والتي إن ثبتت، فإنها ستمثّل انجازاً عظيماً للفكر الإنسانيللتحميل :
