A Place Called Galveston - Andrea Shapiro
Highlighting an underrepresented part of Jewish-American history, this poetic non-fiction picture book tells the collective stories of the immigrants who came through the port of Galveston, Texas in prose to captivate 6-8 year-olds.In the early 20th century, thousands of Jews escaped antisemitic Russia to immigrate to the U.S. They faced long journeys across oceans, sometimes leaving family behind. But they didn''t arrive at Ellis Island, as many others had. They were welcomed instead through the port of Galveston, Texas, on the Gulf Coast.Galveston had sweet air and wide-open space. The newcomers built temporary communities, havens of people offering help, food, and shelter, to ease the loneliness and fear of a new country with a new language. And when they could, they ventured into the vast Midwest searching for jobs and safer futures.In an end note, the author shares her family''s story of coming to America from Russia and further details the history of Jewish immigration, the organizations that helped facilitate the journeys, and how Galveston became a popular port.

A Place Called Yellowstone - Randall K. Wilson
It has been called Wonderland, America''s Serengeti, the crown jewel of the National Park System, and America''s best idea. But how did this faraway landscape evolve into one of the most recognizable places in the world? As the birthplace of the national park system, Yellowstone witnessed the first-ever attempt to protect wildlife, to restore endangered species, and to develop a new industry centered on nature tourism. Yellowstone remains a national icon, one of the few entities capable of bridging ideological divides in the United States. Yet the park''s history is also filled with episodes of conflict and exclusion, setting precedents for Native American land dispossession, land rights disputes, and prolonged tensions between commercialism and environmental conservation. Yellowstone''s legacies are both celebratory and problematic. A Place Called Yellowstone tells the comprehensive story of Yellowstone National Park as the story of the nation itself.

Lauren Tarshis''s story of one child surviving the horrible event churns with page-turning action and bold hope.The city of Galveston, Texas, was booming. Perched on an island off the southern coast of Texas, Galveston had been founded in the 1830s. By 1900, it was Texas''s richest and most important city. Boats loaded up with American cotton and wheat steamed from Galveston to countries around the world. Arriving ships were crowded with immigrants. The streets, paved with crushed oyster shells, sparkled like they''d been sprinkled with diamonds.True, this glittering city was prone to flooding.

The Right Side of History - Shapiro Ben
Human beings have never had it better than we have it now in the West. So why are we on the verge of throwing it all away? In 2016, New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro spoke at the University of California-Berkeley. Hundreds of police officers were required to protect his speech. What was so frightening about Shapiro? He came to argue that Western civilization is in the midst of a crisis of purpose and ideas; that we have let grievances replace our sense of community and political expediency limit our individual rights; that we are teaching our kids that their emotions matter more than rational debate; and that the only meaning in life is arbitrary and subjective. As a society, we are forgetting that almost everything great that has ever happened in history happened because of people who believed in both Judeo-Christian values and in the Greek-born power of reason. In The Right Side of History, Shapiro sprints through more than 3,500 years, dozens of philosophers, and the thicket of modern politics to show how our freedoms are built upon the twin notions that every human being is made in God's image and that human beings were created with ...

Umění milující laskavosti - Rabi Rami Shapiro
Původní cena: 299 Kč, celková sleva: 67 % Neortodoxní a mnoha duchovním tradicím otevřený rabín Rami Shapiro přijímá původně buddhistický koncept milující laskavosti a spojuje ho s podněty dalších spiritualit. Milující laskavost nachází v charakteristice židovského Boha a v jeho atributech, jak je dále rozvíjí judaismus, ale i křesťanství, islám a další. Shapiro probírá třináct biblických atributů Boží milující laskavosti jako rámec pro kultivaci dobrého života každého člověka, který je volán k tomu, být Bohu podobný. Vede tak člověka k objevení zdrojů jeho vlastní důstojnosti, velkorysosti, laskavosti a dobroty. Každý může rozšířit své srdce, když: – je laskavý skrze soucitnou upřímnost – dělá si v srdci místo pro realitu – rozpoznává Boží projevy – obejme paradox nevědění – je přítomný v daném okamžiku aj. Rami M. Shapiro, známý jako „Rabbi Rami“, je oceňovaný autor, učitel a přednášející, představitel liberálního judaismu se zájmem o současné spirituality.

Kniha Nové dětství nabízí nový, revoluční pohled na moderní technologie, kterým jsou naše děti denně vystavovány. Ve světě, kde hraní videoher a používání internetu dětmi vzbuzuje obavy a inspiruje k množství výzkumů, zabývajících se dopadem těchto vlivů na vývoj našich děti, nabízí Jordan Shapiro na první pohled až překvapivě tolerantní přístup. Skutečně dělá hraní videoher z dětí zombíky a připravuje je o poctivé dětství? Nebo je naopak může jistým způsobem rozvíjet? Vždyť mezi jejich a naším dětstvím vlastně ani nemusí byt takový zásadní rozdíl. Shapiro nejenže nabízí jiný úhel pohledu, navíc dobře vysvětlený a podložený fakty, ale v jisté části se jeho kniha mění na povinnou příručku pro rodiče. Oddělit děti od moderních technologií a sociálních sítí je dnes nemožné. Ale díky autorovým postřehům a radám můžeme děti naučit využívat je zodpovědně a bez negativních následků. Kniha Jordana Shapiro vám neřekne, že máte dětem všechna moderní lákadla vzít, protože jsou špatné. Naučí vás však, jak děti do digitálního světa vyslat natolik připravené, aby na ně tento svět nepůsobil destruktivně.

Politika zadržování - Ian Shapiro
Kniha známého amerického politologa Iana Shapira z roku 2007 se věnuje současné zahraniční politice Spojených států, která po 11. září čelí zcela novým výzvám. Představuje politiku zadržování (containment) jako alternativu k nefunkční Bushově doktríně. Politika zadržování přizpůsobená realitě 21. století podle Shapira nabízí "nejlepší ochranu Američanů před násilnými útoky a zároveň je nejlepším způsobem, jak zachovat demokracii v Americe a také ji šířit ve světě." Shapirova smělá vize bezpečnosti ve světě po 11. září připomíná Dlouhý telegram George Kennana, ve kterém byla strategie zadržování poprvé představena. Ve druhé polovině 20. století pomohla Americe vyhrát studenou válku a Shapiro ve své další brilantní analýze mocenských strategií ukazuje, nakolik má šanci uchránit Spojené státy před hrozbou světového terorismu.

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Debates about science and religion are rarely out of the news. Whether it concerns what''s being taught in schools, clashes between religious values and medical recommendations, or questions about how to address our changing global environment, emotions often run high and answers seem intractable.

But although the Framers would recognize the way justices are nominated and confirmed today, something is different. Why have appointments to the high court become one of the most explosive features of our system of government? As Ilya Shapiro makes clear in Supreme Disorder, this problem is part of a larger phenomenon. As government has grown, its laws reaching even further into our lives, the courts that interpret those laws have become enormously powerful. If we fight over each new appointment as though everything were at stake, it’s because it is. When decades of constitutional corruption have left us subject to an all-powerful tribunal, passions are sure to flare on the infrequent occasions when the political system has an opportunity to shape it. And so we find the process of judicial appointments verging on dysfunction. Shapiro weighs the many proposals for reform, from the modest (term limits) to the radical (court-packing), but shows that there can be no quick fix for a judicial system ...

Jak zachránit západní civilizaci - Shapiro Ben
Ben Shapiro v knize Jak zachránit západní civilizaci míří z pohledu dnešní krize Západu ke kořenům evropské kultury, na něž současná převažující materialistická a hédonistická kultura zapomněla. Vysvětluje, že bez dědictví Athén a Jeruzaléma je ohrožena nejen svoboda a řád, soudržnost demo-kratické společnosti, ale i dnešní, nikdy v minulosti nevídaný blahobyt. Dramaticky popisuje 3 000 let evropských dějin, jež spojily zdánlivě neslučitelné: židovsko-křesťanskou existenciální víru s řeckou filosofií. V symbióze této víry a rozumu vyrostla nejúspěšnější civilizace, která dala světu vědu a techniku, dramatické umění a představu osobní svobody, lidské důstojnosti i občanských práv. Autor hájí řecký přirozený zákon telos, který z konečného účelu lidské přirozenosti vyvozuje, že člověk má pěstováním ctností směřovat k naplnění smyslu svého života, tedy k moudrosti a vznešenosti. Bez vyššího smyslu života se Západ zhroutí do chaosu iracionálních svárů, jak to vidíme dnes, kdy věcnou diskusi nahrazují vášně, subjektivita, etnická nebo menšinová identita a podobně. Paradoxně totiž i sám rozum závisí na víře – víře v racionální, poznatelný a objektivní svět, v němž rozpoznává Stvořitele.

Labyrint / Shapira / Třináct oken - Karol Efraim Sidon
Když se Karola Sidona v polovině sedmdesátých let zeptal Jiří Lederer (v interview pro České rozhovory), co ve své tvorbě myšlenkově sleduje, oč mu jde, Sidon mu zprvu nerozuměl. Lederer se mu tedy snažil pomoci: "Rozumíš, jde mi o to, abys sám sebe interpretoval". A Sidon: "Právě o tohle mi jde: abych sám sebe interpretoval." Ano, opravdu se dá říci, že veškerá Sidonova tvorba je poznamenána hledáním vlastní identity, a proto i snahou nemilosrdně poznat sama sebe, hodnotu svého jednání. Tvorba spisovatele, scénáristy a dramatika Karola Sidona byla u nás v sedmdesátých a osmdesátých letech umlčována, a poté byl Sidon dokonce donucen strávit sedm let v exilu. Nyní je známou osobností nejen díky své umělecké tvorbě, ale i díky svému působení v postavení zemského rabína. Tři hry zařazené v tomto svazku (Labyrint, Shapira a Třináct oken) patří k tomu nejlepšímu, co Karol Sidon napsal.

Honoria - Janice Shapiro
When Ida is sent away for the summer to stay with the Murphys - friends of her father, but also of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald - she travels from New York to France and, unknowingly, into the artistic epicentre of 1929. There, she meets their haughty, sullen, and precocious daughter, Honoria, and wonders if she can be friends with the prettiest girl in the whole world. In the ''perfect inverted world'' of adults, one of constant play and leisure - and inebriation, of course - it''s the children who most acutely perceive the pervasive unhappiness bubbling beneath the surface gaiety. Achingly sad and effortlessly funny, full of the kind of youthful sincerity unclouded by pretenses of age, short story writer and cartoonist Janice Shapiro''s debut graphic novel, HONORIA, is the complex story of the education of two young girls who have started moving slowly into womanhood.

Moderní otcovství - Shapiro Jordan
Autor vychází z výzkumů sociologie, psychologie, genderových studií a vlastních zkušeností a zkoumá otcovství z archetypální perspektivy a kulturní historie. Zpochybňuje tradiční předpoklady o původu a rozdělení rodičovských rolí a úkolů.V naší společnosti se začaly měnit genderové normy a z nich vyplývající (i ekonomická) očekávání. Začalo se také měnit pojetí "tradiční rodiny". Je proto nejvyšší čas přehodnotit některé aspekty otcovství.Otcové jsou však prostřednictvím různých médií neustále bombardováni domněnkami, které pocházejí z viktoriánského nebo industriálního chápání postavení a role otce v rodině.Moderní otcovství tak nabízí tolik potřebné aktualizované chápání otcovství a role otců v životě jejich dětí a mužství obecně. Shapiro vede čtenáře k obrazu člověka pro svět 21. století.

1606 - James Shapiro
1606: William Shakespeare and the Year of Lear traces Shakespeare''s life and times from the autumn of 1605, when he took an old and anonymous Elizabethan play, The Chronicle History of King Leir, and transformed it into his most searing tragedy, King Lear.1606 proved to be an especially grim year for England, which witnessed the bloody aftermath of the Gunpowder Plot, divisions over the Union of England and Scotland, and an outbreak of plague. But it turned out to be an exceptional one for Shakespeare, unrivalled at identifying the fault-lines of his cultural moment, who before the year was out went on to complete two other great Jacobean tragedies that spoke directly to these fraught times: Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra.Following the biographical style of 1599, a way of thinking and writing that Shapiro has made his own, 1606: William Shakespeare and the Year of Lear promises to be one of the most significant and accessible works on Shakespeare in the decade to come

Responsible Parties - Ian Shapiro, Frances McCall Rosenbluth
How popular democracy has paradoxically eroded trust in political systems worldwide, and how to restore confidence in democratic politics Democracies across the world are adopting reforms to bring politics closer to the people. Parties have turned to primaries and local caucuses to select candidates. Ballot initiatives and referenda allow citizens to enact laws directly. Many democracies now use proportional representation, encouraging smaller, more specific parties rather than two dominant ones. Yet voters keep getting angrier. There is a steady erosion of trust in politicians, parties, and democratic institutions, culminating most recently in major populist victories in the United States, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere. Frances Rosenbluth and Ian Shapiro argue that devolving power to the grass roots is part of the problem, not the solution. Efforts to decentralize political decision-making make governments and especially political parties less effective and less able to address constituents' long-term interests. To revive confidence in governance, we must restructure our political systems to restore power to the core institution of representative democracy: the political party.

Contested Will - James Shapiro
For two hundred years after William Shakespeare''s death, no one thought to argue that somebody else had written his plays. Since then dozens of rival candidates - including The Earl of Oxford, Sir Francis Bacon and Christopher Marlowe - have been proposed as their true author. Contested Will unravels the mystery of when and why so many people began to question whether Shakespeare wrote the plays (among them such leading writers and artists as Sigmund Freud, Henry James, Mark Twain, Helen Keller, Orson Welles, and Sir Derek Jacobi)Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro''s fascinating search for the source of this controversy retraces a path strewn with fabricated documents, calls for trials, false claimants, concealed identity, bald-faced deception and a failure to grasp what could not be imagined. If Contested Will does not end the authorship question once and for all, it will nonetheless irrevocably change the nature of the debate by confronting what''s really contested: are the plays and poems of Shakespeare autobiographical, and if so, do they hold the key to the question of who wrote them.

When Bad Thinking Happens to Good People - Steven Nadler, Lawrence Shapiro
Why the tools of philosophy offer a powerful antidote to today’s epidemic of irrationalityThere is an epidemic of bad thinking in the world today. An alarming number of people are embracing crazy, even dangerous ideas. They believe that vaccinations cause autism. They reject the scientific consensus on climate change as a “hoax.†And they blame the spread of COVID-19 on the 5G network or a Chinese cabal. Worse, bad thinking drives bad acting—it even inspired a mob to storm the U.S. Capitol. In this book, Steven Nadler and Lawrence Shapiro argue that the best antidote for bad thinking is the wisdom, insights, and practical skills of philosophy. When Bad Thinking Happens to Good People provides an engaging tour through the basic principles of logic, argument, evidence, and probability that can make all of us more reasonable and responsible citizens. When Bad Thinking Happens to Good People shows how we can more readily spot and avoid flawed arguments and unreliable information; determine whether evidence supports or contradicts an idea; distinguish between merely believing something and knowing it; and much more. In doing so, the book reveals how epistemology, which addresses the nature of belief and knowledge, and ethics, the study of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Every translucent petal, tender green stem, and grain of pollen shimmers with painterly detail reminiscent of the works of the great botanical artists and engravers of the eighteenth century. From the bold crimson beauty of an Oriental poppy to the seductive lure of a pink Protea peeking out from behind its thick foliage to the timeless classic beauty of a garden rose, it’s a flower lover’s dream. Debi’s work truly makes every bloom a leading lady.

Power of Peers - Leo Bottary, Leon Shapiro
Birds of a feather flock together. We''re all in the same boat. Great minds think alike. While just figures of speech to some, they reflect a simple truth--it''s the company we keep that often determines the level of personal growth and professional success we achieve in life. Business leaders exchange information and ideas. They network to make deals and build partnerships. They work together to optimize best practices, and they reach out to leaders outside their companies to accelerate growth. Simply put, CEOs and business leaders provide value to one another that they can''t find anywhere else. In The Power of Peers, authors Leon Shapiro and Leo Bottary introduce peer advantage, a concept that transcends peer influence. This is what CEOs and business leaders experience when they are more selective, strategic, and structured in the way they engage their peers. Peer advantage gives CEOs the insights to compete and the courage to act. The Power of Peers features stories of business leaders from a range of industries to illustrate the five essential factors for peer advantage, how it impacts personal growth and why it has proven so effective in helping leaders identify future opportunities and challenges.

At her inner-city London school where more than eighty languages are spoken, she would sense urgent needs; mending uniforms, calling social services, shielding vulnerable teens from gangs.

So in 2018, when Andria won the million-dollar Global Teacher Prize, she knew exactly where the money would go: back into arts education for all.
