Long overdue, this first comprehensive survey spans three decades of Simmons’ richly layered, socially engaged artPublished with Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Covering 30 years of sculptures, paintings, works on paper, large-scale wall drawings, installations and site-specific works, this book presents the art of Gary Simmons, one of the most respected artists of his generation. Since the late 1980s, Simmons has played a key role in situating questions of race, class and gender identity within art discourse. He is notable for combining pop-cultural imagery with conceptual artistic strategies to expose and analyze histories of racism inscribed in US visual culture. Over the course of his career, Simmons has revealed traces of these histories in the fields of sports, cinema, literature, music, and architecture and urbanism while drawing on popular genres such as hip-hop, horror and science fiction. His approach is cool and unflinching in its interrogation of historical and cultural narratives, yet the results consistently deliver a strong emotional charge. This publication offers readers the opportunity to gain a holistic understanding of the complex, profoundly moving work of this influential artist. Gary Simmons was born in 1964 in New York City, where he was raised. Today he lives and works ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Warming is about to hit one and a half degrees, perhaps two degrees soon after. What do we do then? In the overshoot era, schemes abound for muscular adaptation or for turning the heat down at a later date, by means of technologies for removing CO2 from the air or blocking sunlight. Such technologies are by no means safe: they come with immense risks. Like magical promises of future redemption, they provide reasons for continuing emissions in the present. But do they also hold some potentials? Can the catastrophe be reversed, masked or simply adapted to, once it is a fact? Or will any such roundabout measure rather make things worse? This book maps the new frontlines in the struggle for a liveable planet and insists on the climate revolution long overdue. In the end, no technologies can absolve us of its tasks.

It was just another day in America. And as befits an unremarkable day, ten children and teens were killed by gunfire. Far from being considered newsworthy, these everyday fatalities are simply a banal fact.The youngest was nine; the oldest nineteen. None made the news. There was no outrage at their passing. It was simply a day like any other day. Gary Younge picked it at random, searched for the families of these children and here, tells their stories. Another Day in the Death of America explores the way these children lived and lost their short lives, offering a searing portrait of the vulnerability of youth in contemporary America.

During the Second World War, hundreds of games were manufactured by the British, Germans and Americans aimed at children. Despite being cheaply made due to the wartime economy, the games were often fun to play and challenging to win. They also had considerable propaganda value helping to manipulate children into supporting the war. To get their attention, many of the games incorporated dramatic artwork and were based on real wartime events from the evacuation of children in 1939 to the dropping of the atomic bomb in 1945.This book features a large selection of different games produced by the British, Germans and Americans and tells the stories behind their wartime propaganda. The Nazis in particular prided themselves on producing games which promoted and glamourised war, exploiting children''s patriotism and pride in German conquests. Some of their most insidious games included Juden Raus! (Jews Out!) and Bomber über England (Bomber over England). However, the British and Americans also produced unethical games like Target for Tonight which promoted the carpet bombing of Germany and Atomic Bomb, a dexterity puzzle about the nuclear bombing of Japan.The games featured in this book include roll and move games with a board and die, pinball and similar ...

Je to nejužitečnější návod na řešení klimatické krize, který jsem kdy viděl.“ — Fortune O knize Nemusíte být klimatologové, abyste měli povědomí o oteplování planety a souvisejících jevech: o obdobích extrémních veder, bouří, stoupání hladiny moří, povodních, následných hladomorech a migračních vlnách. Bill Gates nás však vyzývá, že není na místě propadat strachu a bezmoci, ale naopak nahlížet na současný stav jako na příležitost postavit se pragmaticky výzvě a projít jako lidstvo další energetickou a technologickou revolucí. V knize vás seznámí s plánem snížit do roku 2050 emise skleníkových plynů ze současných 51 miliard tun ročně na nulu. Jde o velkolepý plán, ale nereálný.

How games create beauty and meaning, and how we can use them to explore the aesthetics of thought.Are games art? This question is a dominant mode of thinking about games and play in the twenty-first century, but it is fundamentally the wrong question. Instead, Frank Lantz proposes in his provocative new book, The Beauty of Games, that we think about games and how they create meaning through the lens of the aesthetic. We should think of games, he writes, the same way we think of literature, theater, or music—as a form that ranges from deep and profound to easy and disposable, and everything in between. Games are the aesthetic form of interactive systems, a set of possibilities connected by rules of cause and effect. In this book, Lantz analyzes games from chess to poker to tennis to understand how games create beauty and evoke a deeper meaning. He suggests that we think of games not only as hyper-modern objects but also as forms within the ancient context of artistic production, encompassing all of the nebulous and ephemeral qualities of the aesthetic experience.

“There are at least two kinds of games,” states James P. Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite; the other infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.”Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change—as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end. What are infinite games? How do they affect the ways we play our finite games? What are we doing when we play—finitely or infinitely? And how can infinite games affect the ways in which we live our lives? Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world—from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion—leaving all ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Sages of various traditions and ages have reiterated that we must incorporate the inevitability of death into the fabric of life to experience life''s breadth and beauty. Imagery is an important tool in dealing with death, and this book is devoted to exploring many facets of this fascinating issue. It begins with an overview of ancient and modern approaches to the use of death imagery for therapeutic purposes, including a discussion of its possible benefits.

Audiokniha: Důkladná investigace Nadace Billa a Melindy Gatesových, která odhaluje, jak Bill Gates využívá filantropii k uplatňování politické moci bez odpovědnosti. Bill Gates se díky svým filantropickým aktivitám proměnil z technologického padoucha v jednoho z nejobdivovanějších lidí na světě. I když nedávné rozvodové řízení a četná obvinění z nevhodného chování poskvrnily jeho veřejný obraz, jen málokdo zpochybňuje dobročinnost jeho nadace, bezmezně obdivované za to, jak vynakládá miliardy dolarů na zachraňování životů chudých obyvatel naší planety. Jak ale Tim Schwab ve své odvážné investigaci ukazuje, Gates je stále tím, čím býval: monopolistou přesvědčeným o své neomylnosti a odhodlaným vnucovat všem ostatním své představy, svá řešení a své vůdcovství. Žádný nezištný filantrop, nýbrž obchodník s mocí, chytrý inovátor, jenž dokázal proměnit extrémní bohatství v obrovský politický vliv a přesvědčit mnoho lidí k tomu, aby jeho činy velebili, nikoli zpochybňovali. Audiokniha Tima Schwaba nabourává oslnivou aureolu, která až příliš dlouho chránila nejmocnější charitativní organizaci světa před dohledem veřejnosti, a ukazuje, jak si Bill Gates za své miliardy koupil ohromující kontrolu nad veřejnou politikou, soukromými trhy, vědeckým výzkumem a zpravodajskými médii.

Odpovídá i na otázku, proč mezi jejími obyvateli a Židy panuje tak silná nenávist.Označení „pásmo Gazy“ slyšel každý. Málokdo ale ví, co přesně to znamená.

Why is playing games a universal human instinct? Why did the same games evolve across wildly different civilisations? And how can those games make your life happier, healthier and more fulfilled? The history of board games is really the history of human civilisation. Through it we see how our species has learned to live with one another, make deals, take on different roles and manage the ups and downs of luck.In this entertaining and thought-provoking look at games through the ages, Tim Clare explores the legal highs of a good dice roll, the thrills of a predatory race game and the tactile pleasures of the games that age with us through our lives to discover how, through play, we become fully ourselves. Drawing on Roman anti-cheating devices, organised crime card syndicates and the combative domestic bonding ritual of Monopoly, The Game Changers explains why games are more popular now than ever, and how playing them helps us learn to be better losers, make smarter decisions and become more human.
