When Europeans first arrived in North America, between five and eight million indigenous people were already living there. But how did they come to be here? What were their agricultural, spiritual, and hunting practices? How did their societies evolve and what challenges do they face today? Eminent historians Theda Perdue and Michael Green begin by describing how nomadic bands of hunter-gatherers followed the bison and woolly mammoth over the Bering land mass between Asia and what is now Alaska between 25,000 and 15,000 years ago, settling throughout North America. They describe hunting practices among different tribes, how some made the gradual transition to more settled, agricultural ways of life, the role of kinship and cooperation in Native societies, their varied burial rites and spiritual practices, and many other features of Native American life. Throughout the book, Perdue and Green stress the great diversity of indigenous peoples in America, who spoke more than 400 different languages before the arrival of Europeans and whose ways of life varied according to the environments they settled in and adapted to so successfully. Most importantly, the authors stress how Native Americans have struggled to maintain their sovereignty--first with European powers and then with the United ... Unknown localization key: "more"

When Marcel Duchamp shipped Constantin Brancusi''s sculpture Bird in Space to Edward Steichen in 1926, New York customs officials refused to accept that it was a work of art, instead levying the standard import tariff for a manufactured object. A legal battle ensued, with the courts eventually declaring Bird in Space an artwork and therefore exempt from the tariff. Seventy-eight years later, visitors to Simon Starling''s exhibition at New York''s Casey Kaplan Gallery were confronted with Staling''s own Bird in Space (2004): a two-ton slab of steel from Romania (Brancusi''s country of origin) leaning against the gallery wall and propped up on three inflatable cushions. The United States had recently introduced a new import tax of twenty per cent on foreign metals, which Starling circumvented by labelling this unaltered chunk of European steel a work of art. Its plinth of cushioned air not only introduced a second, more representational valance to the work but also brought to bear the traditional sculptural parameters of weight, gravity and balance. Starling''s art frequently traffics in deception. It also traffics in traffic, meaning the circulation of goods, knowledge and people (usually the artist himself).  Many of his works circle back on themselves, taking ...

Nick Dunne, její muž, je po sérii nalezených důkazů obviněn z vraždy své ženy. Nick prohlašuje, že nic nespáchal, Amyini přátelé a zápisky v jejím deníku tvrdí opak. Kdo má pravdu? Jak ji poznat? A pokud je Nick nevinný, kam se poděla Amy? Kriminální psychologický román americké spisovatelky Gillian Flynnové z roku 2012 se stal doslova literární senzací – 37 týdnů vévodil žebříčku bestsellerů New York Times a řada periodik ho jmenovala nejlepším thrillerem roku; vyšel ve 46 zemích a dosud se ho prodalo více než 16 milionů výtisků. O dva roky později natočil oscarový režisér David Fincher (Klub rváčů, Sedm, Muži, kteří nenávidí ženy) filmovou adaptaci, Rosamund Pike byla za roli Amy nominována na Oscara.

Zapomenuté missourijské maloměsto Wind Gap se ještě nevzpamatovalo z jedné brutální vraždy, a už je tu další, stejně strašná a nepochopitelná. Proč nevinné dívky? A proč jim vrah vytrhal skoro všechny zuby? Pro mladou chicagskou reportérku Camille Preakerovou, která ve Wind Gap vyrůstala, je takový případ vítaným sólokaprem. Jenže to, co se zprvu zdálo jako kariérní příležitost, získá nakonec mnohem osudovější a tragičtější podobu. Ukáže se, že posedlost jde v tomto příběhu až na krev. A to do slova a do písmene. Kontroverzní, znepokojivý psychothriller Gillian Flynnové, podle kterého HBO natočila dramatickou minisérii s Amy Adams v hlavní roli, stojí na počátku autorčiny úspěšné spisovatelské kariéry: její knihy (vycházejí v jednačtyřiceti jazycích) od té doby neopouštějí žebříčky bestsellerů – ani hlavy čtenářů.
