      JEDEN OKAMŽIK – JEDENÁCT ŽIVOTŮ – BEZPOČET DŮSLEDKŮ Xavier Ireland utíká před minulostí a snaží se nezasahovat nikomu do života. Skrývá se za svou prací nočního rozhlasového moderátora, při níž ovšem paradoxně radí nespavcům, co si mají počít se svými problémy, a urputně se vyhýbá svým sousedům i novým vztahům. Přesto jeho čin, nebo spíš to, co neudělá, spustí řetězec událostí, které ovlivní životy jedenácti lidí. Navíc mu do jeho staromládeneckého bytu vpadne Pippa a obrátí všechno kolem doslova vzhůru nohama…

      Three decades ago, the charismatic Howard York built the empire of his dreams: the Hotel Alpha. It was once the finest in London, but over the years, as the world around it has moved on at an ever more dizzying rate, the hotel has struggled to keep pace. Graham, the Alpha's concierge, has been behind the front desk since the day the hotel opened and has witnessed every stage of its history. Chaz, Howard's blind adopted son, has almost never ventured outside its walls. Both of them view the Alpha as their sanctuary, the place that gives them everything they need. But both of them must now accept that the Alpha no longer offers them the life they most want, and that Howard's vision has been built on secrets as well as dreams . . .

      What the environmental movement has been waiting for is a plane-frequenting, blissfully ignorant comedian with no green credibility whatsoever to tackle one of the most important issues of our time. When non-expert Mark Watson announced his intention to spend the year becoming less Crap At The Environment, within 24 hours, 500 mates and fans had joined him. He lived for (almost) a week without plastic. He ransacked libraries in order to read frightening books on climate change. He lured audiences outside to plant trees, confronted his morbid fear of bike-riding, even started eating vegetables. And a man who began 2007 as a blight on the planet ended up coming to the attention of the most famous almost-president in the world, Al Gore . . .
