Aquaculture Landscapes explores the landscape architecture of farms, reefs, parks, and cities that are designed to entwine the lives of fish and humans.In the twenty-first century, aquacultureâ ™s contribution to the supply of fish for human consumption exceeds that of wild-caught fish for the first time in history. Aquaculture has emerged as the fastest growing food production sector in the world, but aquaculture has agency beyond simply converting fish to food. Aquaculture Landscapes recovers aquaculture as a practice with a deep history of constructing extraordinary landscapes. These landscapes are characterized and enriched by multispecies interdependency, performative ecologies, collaborative practices, and aesthetic experiences between humans and fish. Aquaculture Landscapes presents over thirty contemporary and historical landscapes, spanning six continents, with incisive diagrams and vivid photographs. Within this expansive scope is a focus on urban aquaculture projects by leading designersâ ”including Turenscape, James Corner Field Operations, and SCAPEâ ”that employ mutually beneficial strategies for fish and humans to address urban coastal resiliency, wastewater management, and other contemporary urban challenges. Michael Ezban delivers a compelling account of the coalitions of fish and humans that shape the form, function, and identity of cities, and he offers a forward-thinking theorization of landscape as the preeminent medium for the design of ichthyological urbanism in the Anthropocene. With over two hundred evocative images, including ninety original drawings by the author, Aquaculture Landscapes is a richly illustrated portrayal of aquaculture seen through the disciplinary lens of landscape architecture. As the first book devoted to this topic, Aquaculture Landscapes is an original and essential resource for landscape architects, urbanists, animal geographers, aquaculturists, and all who seek and value multispecies cohabitation of a shared public realm.Winner of the 2020 John Brinckerhoff Jackson Book Prize!

There is no escaping landscape: it s everywhere and part of everyone s life. Landscapes have received much less attention in aesthetics than those arts we can choose to ignore, such as painting or music â “ but they can tell us a lot about the ethical and aesthetic values of the societies that produce them. Drawing on examples from a wide range of landscapes from around the world and throughout history, Susan Herrington considers the ways landscapes can affect our emotions, our imaginations, and our understanding of the passage of time. On Landscapes reveals the design work involved in even the most naturalistic of landscapes, and the ways in which contemporary landscapes are turning the challenges of the industrial past into opportunities for the future. Inviting us to thoughtfully see and experience the landscapes that we encounter in our daily lives, On Landscapes demonstrates that art is all around us.

What were the landscapes of the past like? What will landscapes look like in the future? Landscapes are all around us, but most of us know very little about how they have developed, what goes on in them, and how they react to changing climates, tectonics and human activities. Examining what landscape is, and how we use a range of ideas and techniques to study it, Andrew Goudie and Heather Viles demonstrate how geomorphologists have built on classic methods pioneered by some great 19th century scientists to examine our Earth. Using examples from around the world, including New Zealand, the Tibetan Plateau, and the deserts of the Middle East, they examine some of the key controls on landscape today such as tectonics and climate, as well as humans and the living world. They also discuss some key landscape detectives from the past, including Charles Darwin who did some important, but often overlooked, research on landscape. Concluding with the cultural importance of landscape, and exploring how this has led to the conservation of much earth heritage , they delve into the future and look at how we can predict the response of landscapes to climate change in the future.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

In the past, we were deeply bound to all things green and growing.We once knew the landscape and the plants around us as well as we knew ourselves. But today our relationship with plants and nature has grown distant - we have lost a sense of plants as precious. Vanishing Landscapes tells the story of how plants disappeared from our daily lives one by one.First were apples, then household medicines like saffron, cloth dyes like woad, grapes for making wine, and then, eventually, the timber and reeds we used to build our houses and the wheat we grew for our bread. In their place came the first corporation, the first factory, the banking system, private property, global trade, and modern medicine. The history of these plants shows us how we became modern, but it also shows a path to recover some of what we have lost.In Vanishing Landscapes, Bonnie Lander Johnson goes in search of the old life and the people who are still connected to the land. She meets farmers in Ireland, wine makers in Yorkshire and cloth dyers in the Highlands. She cuts reeds in the watery Norfolk fens and camps overnight in a West Country orchard to gaze up at an unchanging sky.Vanishing Landscapes brings to life a world we never knew but still long for, and reminds us that it s not too late to find a way back.

I carry my landscapes around with me focuses on American abstract artist Joan Mitchell’s large-scale multipanel works from the 1960s through the 1990s. Mitchell’s exploration of the possibilities afforded by combining two to five large canvases allowed her to simultaneously create continuity and rupture, while opening up a panoramic expanse referencing landscapes or the memory of landscapes. Mitchell established a singular approach to abstraction over the course of her career. Her inventive reinterpretation of the traditional figure-ground relationship and synesthetic use of color set her apart from her peers, resulting in intuitively constructed and emotionally charged compositions that alternately evoke individuals, observations, places, and points in time. Art critic John Yau lauded her paintings as “one of the towering achievements of the postwar period.” Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner New York in 2019, this book offers a unique opportunity to explore the range of scale and formal experimentation of this innovative area of Mitchell’s extensive body of work. It not only features reproductions of each painting in this selection as a whole, but also numerous details that allow an intimate understanding of the surface texture and brushwork. In the complementing essays, Suzanne Hudson examines boundaries, borders, and edges in Mitchell’s multipanel paintings, beginning with her first work of this kind, The Bridge (1956), considering them as both physical and conceptual objects; Robert Slifkin discusses the dynamics of repetition and energy in the artist’s paintings, in relation to works by Monet and Willem de Kooning, among others.

Set in a near-future fraught with ecological collapse, Christine Lai s mesmerising and prismatic debut novel Landscapes is a brilliant exploration of memory, empathy, preservation, and art as an instrument for recollection and renewal. In the English countryside - decimated by heat and drought - Penelope archives what remains of an estate s once notable collection. As she catalogues the library s contents, she keeps a diary of her final months in the dilapidated country house that has been her home for two decades and a refuge for those who have been displaced by disasters. Out of necessity, Penelope and her partner, Aidan, have sold the house and its scheduled demolition marks the pressing deadline for completing the archive. But with it also comes the impending return of Aidan s brother, Julian, at whose hands Penelope suffered during a brief but violent relationship twenty-two years before. As Julian s visit looms, Penelope finds herself unable to suppress the past, clinging to art as a means of understanding, of survival, and of reckoning. Recalling the works of Rachel Cusk and Kazuo Ishiguro, Landscapes is an elegiac and spellbinding blend of narrative, essay, and diary that reinvents the country-house novel for our age of catastrophe, announcing the arrival of an extraordinarily gifted new writer.

This is a book about silences. And land. Renowned anthropologist and film-maker Hugh Brody weaves a dazzling tapestry of personal memory and distant landscapes: childhood in England in the shadow of the Second World War, the Derbyshire hills, a kibbutz in Israel and the deep Canadian Arctic. Growing up on the outskirts of Sheffield, Hugh Brody ate roast beef and Yorkshire pudding but was always given to understand that the real, the perfect food came from his motherâ ™s home, Vienna. He attended Hebrew classes three times each week but was sent off to a Church of England boarding school. Conflicted and bewildered, he sought places to which he could escape â “ but everywhere he discovered deep and troubling silences.He takes us on his first journeys to the Arctic, a world so far removed from anything he had known as to be a chance to learn, all over again, what it can mean to be alive. As he reveals, the realities of the far north were a joy, but even there he found abuses of the people and the land â “ and voices that were deeply silenced by the forces of colonialism.In these landscapes, human well-being appears to be both possible and impossible. Yet in memory, in the land, in the defiance of silence, Hugh Brody sees a profound humanity â “ as well as hope.

Prato and Fagre offer the first systematic, multi-disciplinary assessment of the challenges involved in managing the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem (CCE), an area of the Rocky Mountains that includes northwestern Montana, southwestern Alberta, and southeastern British Columbia. The spectacular landscapes, extensive recreational options, and broad employment opportunities of the CCE have made it one of the fastest growing regions in the United States and Canada, and have lead to a shift in its economic base from extractive resources to service-oriented recreation and tourism industries. In the process, however, the amenities and attributes that draw people to this New West are under threat. Pastoral scenes are disappearing as agricultural lands and other open spaces are converted to residential uses, biodiversity is endangered by the fragmentation of fish and wildlife habitats, and many areas are experiencing a decline in air and water quality. Sustaining Rocky Mountain Landscapes provides a scientific basis for communities to develop policies for managing the growth and economic transformation of the CCE without sacrificing the quality of life and environment for which the land is renowned. The book begins with a natural and economic history of the CCE. It follows with an assessment of current physical and biological conditions in the CCE. The contributors then explore how social, economic, demographic, and environmental forces are transforming ecosystem structure and function. They consider ecosystem change in response to changing patterns of land use, pollution, and drought; the increasing risk of wildfire to wildlife and to human life and property; and the implications of global climate change on the CCE. A final, policy-focused section of the book looks at transboundary issues in ecosystem management and evaluates the potential of community-based and adaptive approaches in ecosystem management.

Audiokniha: V létě roku 1989 založil skladatel Michael Kocáb spolu s novinářem Michalem Horáčkem iniciativu MOST, která si dala za cíl zprostředkovat jednání mezi komunistickou mocí a představiteli nezávislých opozičních sdružení. Co se zprvu mohlo zdát dílem jako troufalost a dílem jako politická naivita, se už v listopadu téhož roku ukázalo být především občanskou od vahou a prozíravostí, když k jednacímu stolu zasedl tehdejší předseda vlády Ladislav Adamec a zástupci studentů, Občanského fóra a Veřejnosti proti násilí v čele s Václavem Havlem. Kocáb popisuje všechna zásadní jednání s komunistickými vládci, s generalitou československé i sovětské armády, se sovětskou stranou včetně zástupců KGB, která vedl či se jich účastnil za iniciativu MOST nebo Občanské fórum. Průběh sametové revoluce líčí na pozadí připravované akce Zásah, kterou se armádní složky ve spolupráci s StB snažily zabránit demokratizačním změnám silou. Autobiografický text působí trochu jako politický thriller. Autor popisuje, jak se situace měnila den po dni, hodinu po hodině, a ukazuje, že politika je tvůrčí a často i improvizační činnost, v níž občas není od věci brát na sebe „drzou“ odpovědnost. V druhé části knihy pak vzpomíná na svoje působení ve Sněmovně lidu Federálního shromáždění ČSFR a na druhý olbřímí úkol, který si předsevzal – prohlášení ostudné okupační smlouvy o „dočasném pobytu“ za neplatnou od samého počátku, kdy až urychlený odsun sovětských vojsk z území bývalého Československa definitivně završil sametovou revoluci. MICHAEL KOCÁB: Ještě během studií na konzervatoři založil Michael Kocáb legendární kapelu Pražský výběr, která se až do roku 1989 pohybovala na pomezí oficiální a neoficiální scény a mezi lety 1982 a 1987 nesměla vystupovat. V létě 1989 s Michalem Horáčkem založil iniciativu MOST, byl zakládajícím členem Občanského fóra, zahájil rozhovory s Generálním štábem Československé lidové armády a inicioval kroky k ukončení okupace Československa sovětskou armádou a volbě Václava Havla prezidentem. Od prosince 1989 působil jako poslanec Federálního shromáždění v zahraničním výboru a v prvních svobodných volbách v roce 1990 získal 56 % preferenčních hlasů a opět se stal poslancem. V letech 1993 až 2003 působil jako externí poradce Václava Havla, s nímž pak spolupracoval až do roku 2008, kdy přijal kandidaturu do senátu jako nezávislý senátor za Stranu zelených. O rok později byl jmenován ministrem pro lidská práva a národnostní menšiny a tento post zastával i na evropské úrovni během předsednictva České republiky v Evropské unii.

THE FOURTH VOLUME OF MICHAEL PALIN S BESTSELLING DIARIESA new millennium, and a new chapter for Michael Palin unfolds. With a Hemingway travel project testing his confidence, doubts creeping in about his abilities as a writer, the death of his great friend George Harrison and the last of his children leaving home, the dawn of the twenty-first century sees Michael at his most reflective yet. â ¯Over the next ten years, we watch through Michael s eyes as the world reels fromâ ¯the successive shocks of September 11, the 7/7 bombings and the global financial crash. With the warmth and gentle empathy that have endeared him to millions of fans over the decades, Michael documents the day-to-day detail of living in a world buffeted by such powerful winds of change.â ¯And amidst this turbulence, one thing remains constant: Michael s irrepressible curiosity and thirst for adventure. These diaries follow his life as he comes and goes through the filming of four blockbuster travel documentaries - Hemingway Adventure, Sahara, Himalaya and New Europe - and reaches the peak of his fame as a beloved TV traveller. And five years on from the last of his children flying the nest, Michael embarks on his greatest adventure yet: becoming a besotted grandfather.â ¯There and Back is a new window into the world of Michael Palin, one that reveals more than ever the strength and succour he draws from those ever-present supporting structures in his life: his family, his friendships and, of course, the Pythons.

“[A] memoir of . . . madcap travels, triumphs and humiliations. [Tonello] peels back the layers of pretension at the eminent design house. . . . Anyone who’s ever stepped into a luxury boutique and felt the sting of the doorman’s disapproval will find a hero in Tonello.” —Miami Herald The hilarious, whirlwind account of an insider’s years spent globe-trotting in search of the handbag called “a better investment than gold”: the Birkin. With a life that reads like a heist novel, Michael Tonello reveals the secret to bagging this legendary purse, coveted by celebrities and status-seekers around the world.For more than twenty years, the Hermès Birkin bag has been the iconic symbol of fashion, luxury, and wealth. Though the bag is often seen dangling from the arms of celebrities, there is a fabled waiting list of more than two years to buy one from Hermès, and the average fashionista has a better chance of climbing Mount Everest in Prada pumps than of possessing one of these coveted carryalls. Unless, of course, she happens to know Michael Tonello . . .Michael’s newfound career started with an impulsive move to Barcelona, a vanished job assignment, no work visa, and a Hermès scarf sold on eBay to generate some quick cash. But soon the resourceful Michael discovered the truth about the waiting list and figured out the secret to getting Hermès to part with one of these precious bags. Millions of dollars worth of Birkins later, Michael had become one of eBay’s most successful entrepreneurs—and a Robin Hood to thousands of desperate rich women. With down-to-earth wit, Michael chronicles the unusual ventures that took him to nearly every continent, from eBay to Paris auction house and into the lives of celebrities and poseurs. Flirting with danger, Michael recounts the heady rush of hand delivering his first big score to famed songwriter Carole Bayer Sager in Paris; how he had to hire thugs to rescue a bag that one of his “shoppers” held for ransom; and the story of the Oscar-worthy performances that allowed him to snag “reserved” bags from other, less dogged Birkin seekers.Whether he’s relating his wining and dining, buying and selling, dodging and weaving, laughing and crying, or schmoozing and stammering, Michael is a master raconteur who weaves together tales of hunting Birkins in the world’s most posh locales, memories of meals that would make any gastronome salivate, anecdotes of obsessed collectors with insatiable desires, and sweetly intimate stories about his family, friends, and finding true love. The result is a memoir that is distinctive, fun, page-turning, and as addictive as its namesake.

In George Michael: A Life,“Gavin’s engrossing biography of the singer takes the measure of a gifted, tragic, and infuriating man” (New York Times Book Review). George Michael was an extravagantly gifted, openhearted soul singer whose work was both pained and smolderingly erotic. He was a songwriter of true craft and substance, and his music swept the world, starting in the mid-1980s. His fabricated image—that of a hypermacho sex god—loomed large in the pop culture of his day. It also hid—for a time—the secret he fought against revealing: Michael was gay. Soon his obsession with fame would start to backfire. As one of the industry’s most privileged yet tortured men began to self-destruct, the press showed little sympathy. George Michael: A Life explores the compelling story of a superstar whose struggles, as well as his songs, continue to touch fans all over the world. Acclaimed music biographer James Gavin traces Michael’s metamorphosis from the shy and awkward Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou into the swaggering, dominant half of the leading British pop duo of the 1980s Wham! He then details Michael’s sensational solo career and its subsequent unraveling. With deep analysis of the creative process behind Michael’s albums, tours, and music videos, as well as interviews with hundreds of his friends and colleagues, George Michael: A Life is a probing, definitive portrait of a pop legend.

The definitive biography of a legendary athlete.The Shrug. The Shot. The Flu Game. Michael Jordan is responsible for sublime moments so ingrained in sports history that they have their own names. When most people think of him, they think of his beautiful shots with the game on the line, his body totally in sync with the ball -- hitting nothing but net.But for all his greatness, this scion of a complex family from North Carolina s Coastal Plain has a darker side: he s a ruthless competitor and a lover of high stakes. There s never been a biography that encompassed the dual nature of his character and looked so deeply at Jordan on and off the court -- until now.Basketball journalist Roland Lazenby spent almost thirty years covering Michael Jordan s career in college and the pros. He witnessed Jordan s growth from a skinny rookie to the instantly recognizable global ambassador for basketball whose business savvy and success have millions of kids still wanting to be just like Mike. Yet Lazenby also witnessed the Michael Jordan whose drive and appetite are more fearsome and more insatiable than any of his fans could begin to know.Michael Jordan: The Life explores both sides of his personality to reveal the fullest, most compelling story of the man who is Michael Jordan. Lazenby draws on his personal relationships with Jordan s coaches; countless interviews with Jordan s friends, teammates, and family members; and interviews with Jordan himself to provide the first truly definitive study of Michael Jordan: the player, the icon, and the man.

The fourth volume of Michael Palin s widely acclaimed diaries finds him embracing the first decade of a new century. In Travelling to Work, the third volume covering the years 1988-1998, Michael s career took an unexpected direction into travel after a decade of filming, writing and acting, and it is travel that would shape his working life for the next 25 years, with eight very successful television series including Around the World in 80 Days and Pole to Pole. The early years of the 21st century see Michael trekking around (around through) the world s largest desert in Sahara (2002) and travelling around some of the highest mountains in the world in Himalaya (2004), and for a complete change of scenery there was New Europe (2007), in which Michael travelled in the nations of Eastern Europe.In each case he wrote a book about his travels. These travel programmes were responsible for a phenomenon termed the Palin effect : areas of the world that Michael has visited suddenly becoming popular tourist attractions. Michael also wrote and presented documentary programmes on artists that interested him - the Scottish colonists in The Bright Side of Life; The Ladies Who Loved Matisse; and The Mystery of Hammershøi on the Danish artist.As a model railway enthusiast, he also had two trains named after him. He won a BAFTA Special Award in 2005 and another as part of the Monty Python team in 2009. Finally, in 2009 Michael was elected for a three-year term as President of the Royal Geographical Society.These latest Diaries show a man grasping every opportunity in a phenomenally varied life, and they deal candidly with the doubts and setbacks that accompany this prodigious work-rate. As ever, his family life is there to anchor him.

In 1987, up-and-coming celebrity photographer Timothy White got a call from American musician Michael Bolotin s (now Bolton) record company, asking him to work on a photo shoot. When Bolton came over to his studio, Timothy was struck by his calm persona, dry wit, and superb sense of humour. The two immediately hit it off. The resulting full-of-life photographs that captured Bolton s charisma and charm marked the start of not only a professional but also a personal relationship that would come to establish Bolton s visual legacy and identity. Michael Bolton contains White s handpicked collection of cinematic photographs featuring Bolton, on view together for the first time ever. The wide range of works include: Bolton with his trademark wavy locks blowing in the wind, pictures in his breathtaking neoclassical home, classic editorial studio shots, and heartwarming selections from shoots across a variety of urban and rural landscapes. The work spans decades, featuring Bolton at all stages of his career. Timothy shot some of his most recognizable photographs and album covers, and Bolton s visual legacy is captured here in all its glory. It tells the story of two parallel and singular artistic careers. Original quotes from celebrities are peppered throughout the book s pages and highlight Bolton s impact on a range of famous lives and on wider society. Michael Jordan notes Bolton s God-given talent, Kenny G declares Bolton has an undeniable gift, and Zelma Redding shares she was brought to tears by Bolton s performances. Additional mash notes from Andy Samberg, Zoey Deschanel, Will Ferrell, Dolly Parton, Bill Clinton, and Michael Jordan, to name a few, fill out the testimonials of love. Bolton and White themselves contribute text, as well as Grammy-award winning American record producer and former president of Columbia Records, Clive Davis. Andy Samberg corks the tome with his take on the artist and music. Michael Bolton is released alongside Bolton s hilarious new podcast Michael Bolton s Big Sexy Podcast and a blues CD, featuring a wide array of Bolton s previously unpublished, trademark covers. Chock-full of cinematic visuals and touching, personal texts that reveal a side of the enigmatic megastar that has never been presented before, the book portrays a comprehensive visual overview of the beloved performer and his impact on popular culture, while also highlighting an intimate collaboration between two exemplars of their respective talent fields.

TEN LAWS OF OPERATIONAL RISK Unlike credit and market risk, operational risk currently lacks an overarching theory to explain how and why losses occur. As a result, operational risk managers have been forced to use unsatisfactory tools and processes that fail to add sufficient commercial value. In Ten Laws of Operational Risk: Understanding its Behaviours to Improve its Management, Michael Grimwade delivers an insightful discussion of the nature of operational risk and a groundbreaking redesign of the profession???s existing tools. The author???s Ten Laws are grounded on the business profiles of firms and the human and institutional behaviours that drive operational risk. They are underpinned by taxonomies for the causes; the inadequacies or failures that constitute both control failures and events; and the impacts of operational risks. Drawing on twenty-five years of first-hand experience and research, this book explains the patterns and trends that are apparent in the historical data and offers solutions to the persistent problems inherent in risk appetite, RCSAs, scenario analysis, reputational risk, stress testing, capital modeling, and insurance. It also provides fresh insights into the everyday activities of risk managers with respect to predictive key risk and control indicators, root cause analysis, why controls fail, the risks posed by change, and product risk profiles. Ten Laws of Operational Risk presents a structured and evidence-based approach to identifying emerging risks and predicting future behaviours related to pandemics, climate change, cybercrime, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. It includes revealing industry data, in-depth case studies, and real-world examples that shed light on recurring and obstinate problems in operational risk management. A must-read resource for Chief Risk Officers and other risk professionals, as well as regulators, management consultants, and students and scholars of operational risk, Ten Laws of Operational Risk provides an invaluable new, systematic, and rigorous approach to operational risk management. PRAISE FOR TEN LAWS OF OPERATIONAL RISK ???Operational Risk can no longer be described as a new concept, but as a discipline few attempts have been made to really understand its behaviour. In his book Michael does this very successfully, blending extensive practical experience with analytical thought leadership to propose a set of laws that explain why and how Operational Risks arise, and what can be done to manage them. Assertions are evidence based, with numerous real examples used to underpin his hypotheses. This is a valuable addition to Operational Risk thinking and is recommended for experienced professionals and novices alike.?????? Dr Luke Carrivick, Director of Research Information, ORX ???Michael has established himself as one of Operational Risk???s foremost thinkers. His ability to use historical data to analyse events is unrivalled. In this must-read book, he identifies ten fundamental laws that provide every Operational Risk practitioner with a clear set of rules they can use to understand current events and predict their impacts.?????? Andrew Sheen, former Head of the FSA???s Operational Risk Review team ???Michael is one of the most prominent thinkers in Operational Risk. He combines a long career in Operational Risk management and measurement with a deep, long-standing reflection on the fundamental causes, dynamics and patterns in the manifestation of Operational Risk events. He produces, with this book, a remarkable synthesis of his insightful and innovative work.?????? Dr Ariane Chapelle, Honorary Reader, University College London; Managing Partner, Chapelle Consulting ???Michael is a highly respected expert in the field of Operational Risk, who has developed some ground-breaking frameworks for analysing this risk and guiding better risk management decisions. As a working practitioner in the field he brings many insights that will appeal to other practitioners as well as regulators, students and scholars.??? ??? Professor Elizabeth Sheedy, Macquarie Business School ???Michael???s views and analysis challenge the traditional Basel II views of Operational Risk and are genuinely thought-provoking. His book on the Ten Laws of Operational Risk will give financial services clarity and a practical view, where it has been previously lacking, on how best to manage such risks.?????? Tin Lau, Group Head of Financial and Strategic Risk, TP ICAP

UNLOCK THE MAGIC OF THEATRE THIS CHRISTMAS - GO BEHIND THE CURTAIN WITH WEST END LEGEND, MICHAEL BALL IN HIS FIRST MEMOIR #39;Love, laughter and tears abound in this warm, entertaining read #39; Woman and Home #39;Glittering #39; Daily Mail #39;Wonderful #39; The SunIn 1989, a young Michael Ball landed the lead role in the musical Aspects of Love. It was a moment that changed his life forever. It was the first time he worked with legends of the stage like Andrew Lloyd Webber and Trevor Nunn; the show featured his smash hit song, Love Changes Everything, which rode high in the charts for 15 weeks; it was then, also, that he first met his long-term partner Cathy McGowan and battled back against the stage fright that had threatened his career. Over three decades later, Michael returned to a new production of the same show where he made his name, and with a lifetime #39;s worth of stories to tell.In Different Aspects, Michael takes us backstage inside the making of a West End hit, while also diving back into his memories to share untold anecdotes and explore a glittering career that has made him a household name - from his first stage experiences in Les Misérables and Phantom of the Opera, to delighting and shocking his audiences in equal measure in Hairspray and Sweeney Todd, as well as his chart-topping musical success (and some howlers too!). Exploring Michael #39;s life, career and relationships alongside the pitfalls and pratfalls of modern theatre, Different Aspects is the story of a life lived on the stage. There will be laughter, tears and an abundance of heart. There #39;s even some Roger Moore, though, famously, not quite enough.Take your seats ladies and gentlemen, the lights are dimming, the performance is about to start.Readers are loving Different Aspects... #39;A very funny, insightful glimpse of the highs and lows of a musical theatre star #39; #39;If you love Michael Ball, you #39;ll love this #39; #39;His story made me smile #39; #39;Filled with wonderful little stories #39; #39;Interesting, honest and revealing #39;

Jedinečná krása a nedotčená příroda Proč by bez Sahary nemohl existovat amazonský deštný prales? Jsou oázy skutečně jen skupinky datlovníků kolem studně? Je pravda, že se na poušti víc lidí utopí, než kolik jich tu zemře žízní? Michael Martin procestoval pouště celého světa a tyto tajuplné oblasti a lidi, zvířata i rostliny, jimž se daří přizpůsobovat se nejobtížnějším životním podmínkám, dokáže poutavě popsat. V tichu, osamění a klidu pouští přitom on sám nachází protiváhu k našemu přehlcenému životu. Nabízí tak zasvěcený vhled do radikálně odlišné reality – podivuhodné, obohacující a místy přímo neuvěřitelné! Díky rozsáhlé fotografické příloze zažijete poušť takřka na vlastní kůži. Pouště a polopouště pokrývají třetinu zemské pevniny, a pokud počítáme i ledové pouště v polárních oblastech, dostaneme se dokonce k padesáti procentům. Zabírají tedy větší plochu než deštné lesy, savany, stepi nebo pohoří. Pouště nás odjakživa fascinují, fungují jako projekční plochy našich přání a tužeb – a přesto o nich víme překvapivě málo. Dobrodruh a fotograf Michael Martin už několik desetiletí cestuje suchými pouštěmi jako Sahara, Gobi, Namib a Atacama i mrazivými pouštěmi Grónska či Antarktidy a zná toto svébytné prostředí jako nikdo jiný. Otevírá nám oči pro udivující rozmanitost pouštních biotopů, které si zasluhují ochranu. V roce 1987 ještě v poušti Ténéré narazil na pštrosy, dnes už prakticky vyhubené. Užasl nad „Schody do nebe“, uměleckým dílem, které se nachází uprostřed pláně Marha na jihu Maroka a doslova rozšiřuje obzory. Na Sahaře našel stovky let staré otisky chodidel otroků, kteří byli ve dlouhých průvodech hnáni po „bornuské silnici“ do středisek obchodu na pobřeží. S častou představou, že v pouštích není k vidění nic než písek, se expert na pouště Michael Martin rázně vypořádává – a mimochodem, dokonce i pouštní písek je natolik různorodý, že nemálo nadšenců po celém světě sbírá a vyměňuje si jeho vzorky. Mimořádně čtivě napsaná a zároveň poučná kniha pro všechny, kdo o poušti sní – ať už ji někdy navštívili, nebo se tam jednoho dne vypraví, či zkrátka chtějí spolu s Michaelem Martinem poznat její podstatu. Autor Michael Martin - fotograf, dobrodruh a vystudovaný geograf, věnuje se také přednášení. Už přes 35 let podává svědectví o svých výpravách do pouští celého světa a postupně se stal celosvětově nejuznávanějším fotografem pouští. Uveřejnil na 30 obrazových publikací a knih, které byly přeloženy do mnoha jazyků. Uspořádal přes 2 000 přednášek a produkoval několik televizních filmů. Kromě rozpálených pouští se zabývá i chladnými a ledovými pouštěmi Arktidy i Antarktidy. Za svou tvorbu získal řadu ocenění, mimo jiné čestnou medaili Královské geografické společnosti. V poslední době k nim přibyla cena Gregor International Calendar Award a cena ITB Book Award za celo­životní dílo. Časopis GEO věnoval Michaelu Martinovi v listopadu 2016 celé zvláštní vydání Geo extra .

Václav Havel pohledem Michaela Žantovského: už tím je naznačeno mnohé, co tato biografie přináší. Oba muži spolu dlouhá léta úzce spolupracovali, pojilo je blízké přátelství - a politický i kulturní odkaz Václava Havla dodnes Michael Žantovský rozvíjí ve svém veřejném působení, ať už jakožto diplomat (působil jako velvyslanec v USA, Izraeli a Velké Británii), manažer (v letech 2015-2023 byl ředitelem Knihovny Václava Havla), editor (k vydání připravil několik havlovských publikací) či autor. Jeho kniha však nenabízí jen pohled zevnitř ; Žantovský vnímá Havlův život, literární dílo i politické působení i s kritickým odstupem, s maximální možnou objektivitou a odbornou erudicí. Uplatňuje přitom též svou původní profesi klinického psychologa; jak sám v knize poznamenává, jednou z méně radostných, ale nezbytných stránek této profese je schopnost zaujmout klinický postoj, tj. dokázat pozorovat jiné lidské bytosti (včetně těch, které jsou vám nejblíž), jak zápasí, vítězí, prohrávají, trpí a umírají, a dělat si přitom po celou dobu nezúčastněné poznámky . Žantovského Havel nyní, po deseti letech od svého prvního vydání, vychází v rozšířené podobě; na základě nových pramenů a informací Michael Žantovský svůj výklad místy aktualizuje a nabízí i jednu zbrusu novou kapitolu věnovanou Havlově úloze v narovnávání česko-německých vztahů. Když vezmete do rukou knihu o někom, koho jste přes čtvrtstoletí znali a s kým jste v různých dobách a různých formách spolupracovali, máte jisté pochyby, jak pravdivý může být obraz toho člověka. Po přečtení tuto knihu obdivuji. Michael Žantovský ji napsal s důkladností zkušeného novináře a s kritickým pohledem, který vidí i Havlovy slabosti a vrtochy, ale také nezakrývá svou lásku k němu. Je to neskutečně zajímavý portrét vývoje, dospívání a životního díla člověka, který nejen ve své době, ale dodnes převyšuje politiky nejen v Čechách, ale i v celé Evropě. - Karel Schwarzenberg Překrásná kniha o největší osobnosti našich novodobých dějin. - Tomáš Sedláček Havel byl jedním z nejvýznamnějších a nejprovokativnějších intelektuálů-státníků své doby - nonkonformista, odhodlaný žít v pravdě a neustále zpochybňující systém, své spoluobčany a sebe sama. K popisu, interpretaci a analýze tohoto mravního velikána není povolanějšího autora, než je Michael Žantovský. Jeho havlovská biografie je psána s velkým porozuměním, otevřeností a láskou - a nabízí nejen erudovanou analýzu Havlova politického odkazu, ale i jeho uměleckého díla. - Madeleine Albrightová Václav Havel patřil k nejvýznačnějším mravním a politickým vůdcům naší doby - a Michael Žantovský napsal jeho definitivní životopis. Jeho moudrá a zároveň vzrušující kniha výborně postihuje Havlovu velikost. Na základě dlouholetého blízkého přátelství tu vzniklo hluboce osobní vyprávění, jež přináší inspiraci i poučení. - Walter Isaacson Kniha získala na veletrhu Svět knihy ocenění Český bestseller za rok 2014.

Eric Ravilious: Landscapes NatureDrawing on the V AÂ’s collections, more than one hundred beautiful images capture RaviliousÂ’s deep enjoyment of everything in nature, from grassy hills, owls, greenhouse geraniums, and snow, to rainy seas, airport-runway puddles, and tideswept beaches. This book reveals common themes running through his work, such as weather, plants, animals, and birds, as well as RaviliousÂ’s love of depicting signs of human presence in the landscape, including rusting machinery, ships and aircraft, and his famous illustrations of hillside chalk figures.Although best known for his watercolors, Ravilious was also inspired to learn wood engraving by seeing the V AÂ’s Samuel Palmer exhibition of 1926. Due to encouragement by his tutor Paul Nash and later to financial pressures, Ravilious turned his hand to a wide variety of creative work, from designs for ceramics, glass, furniture, murals, and textiles, to illustrating books, pamphlets, and posters.

A photographic and verbal account of the landscapes of Palestine. This book offers a portrait of the lives and struggles of Palestinians living in the occupied Palestinian territories on the West Bank, in particular the South Hebron Hills and the Jordan Valley. Among the topics highlighted are house demolitions; confrontations between Palestinian shepherds or farmers and Israeli settlers, soldiers, and police; the daily challenges of sheer existence posed by the occupation system, intent on pushing Palestinians off their land; and the tenacity and courage that these conditions require. The book endeavors to impart to the reader a sense of the beauty of the landscape, the sound of the language, the taste of friendships, and the richness of a way of life that is threatened with extinction. Voices of activists, both Palestinian and Jewish, are also present. The introduction sets forth, in brief, the historical context that generated present realities in Palestine as well as the history of the authorsÂ’ partnership. The bookÂ’s viewpoint reflects many years of activism on the peace and human rights front in Palestine as well as an ongoing conversation between two authors who have experienced together the continually renewed astonishment that comes with such encounters.

WINNER of the 2023 Books Are My Bag Readers Award for Best Poetry Collection Pedersen bends words like no-one else. There s a naughtiness, an innocence and surprising vulnerability in this collection. It s poetry to intoxicate. Just sublime. Juno Dawson Every page of The Cat Prince brought me gladsome joy. Pedersen has the astonishing power of finding the astonishing in every moment that deserves a raised glass Daljit Nagra This laser focused collection of poetry by Michael Pedersen will gut you like a fish and smash your heart in. Searingly specific, exquisite and requisite. I relished reading every tiny morsel of it Shirley Manson Open-hearted, gut-wrenching and yet elegiac, these poems pack a hefty emotional punch. Michael Pederson s poems display a huge vocabulary for love, love in all its many forms and guises. These poems chart the journey from boyhood to manhood, the highs and the lows, the losses and the gains, always working their way towards an essential, emotional truth Jackie Kay If the alphabet is a piano keyboard then Michael Pedersen plays it with the confidence and panache of a jazz improviser who knows that every note can have the potential to change someone s life. Be amazed by this book Ian McMillan Michael s poems are so physical you can almost touch the images in them. Fabulously sensual and alive. I adore poetry like this Stephen FryThe Cat Prince Other Poems is the third collection from prize-winning poet, and author of Boy Friends, Michael Pedersen. All moggy moxie, Pedersen croons to the beauty and devastation of love, loss, friendship, cats and careless joy. Equal parts tender and trenchant, raw and ribald, plangent and smutty, these poems exhibit an emotionally charged, fantastical playground of language and lore. From the brutalising death of a cherished friend comes a gut-wrenching grief. And so begins a tenacious quest for light, lustre and survival as Pedersen pays tender tribute to a gorgeous, life-altering friendship. In doing so, he harks back to the hilarity of being young, reckless and petrified: memories of boys showboating in a fishing tackle shop, games of feline metamorphosis, laments for demolished buildings and a case of constipation of the most pernicious stock.As frisky as it is fierce, The Cat Prince pounces around the poet s emotional and physical landscapes, past and present, unfankling a Scotland full of gothic splendour and nature s majesty.These poems reveal a poet at his bravest and most vulnerable. The Cat Prince Other Poems purrs with affection, flashes its teeth, then digs in the claws.
