boj o krasu gill paulova

Měly hodně společného, přesto se nenáviděly. Elizabeth Ardenová a Helena Rubinsteinová svorně odmítly přijmout společenské konvence první poloviny 20. století, v dobách, kdy žena měla být především manželkou a matkou. Svá obchodní impéria založily na pevné vůli a odhodlání a šly si tvrdě za svým navzdory očekávání společnosti a mnohdy i svých nejbližších. Každá vzpoura ale má svou cenu… Elizabeth Ardenová, chudá dívka z Kanady, svou značku doslova vydupala ze země. Dokázala ženy přesvědčit, že její výrobky jim zaručí mládí a krásu. Helena Rubinsteinová nechala za zády rodné Polsko a založila svůj obchod se zázračnými bylinnými krémy na vědeckých osvědčeních.Na bitevním poli bylo dovoleno všechno: krást si zaměstnance, kopírovat si produkty i vysílat špehy, jen aby jedna mohla předčit druhou při každé příležitosti, která se naskytla. Ovšem tvrdý boj často přináší i ztráty. Kdo mohl tušit, že obchodování s krásou může být tak nemilosrdné? Autorka několika bestsellerů Gill Paulová ve svém novém románu odhaluje neznámý příběh dvou hlavních veličin kosmetického průmyslu. Vypráví o tom, jak se spolu s rychlými proměnami světa měnilo i postavení žen. Zakladatelky obchodních impérií musely v osobním životě ustát nejen krach manželství, ale i řadu dalších tragédií, zatímco spolu bez ustání a mnohdy nevybíravě soupeřily, to vše napříč několika dekádami, třemi světadíly, dvěma světovými válkami a velkou ekonomickou krizí.

Kniha je věnována životním osudům a kariéře významné české historičky Milady Paulové (1891-1970), která jako první žena v Československu dosáhla nejvyšších univerzitních gradů a do historické vědy vnesla kontroverzní otázku, zda je možné aplikovat metody historické práce na téma z moderní historie a zároveň jej objektivně vyhodnotit. Paulová byla favorizovanou žačkou historika a slavisty Jaroslava Bidla, profesora obecných dějin se zaměřením na dějiny východní Evropy a Balkánského poloostrova, který se rozhodl vychovat z ní svou nástupkyni v čele katedry obecných dějin východní Evropy a Balkánského poloostrova. Milada Paulova tak měla pokračovat v jeho započatém díle spočívajícím ve vědeckém zkoumání dějin východních Slovanů a Byzantské říše, ale nakonec se přiklonila k tématu mapování českého a jihoslovanského protihabsburského odboje za první světové války. Jaroslav Bidlo, zastánce tzv. čisté vědy, byl konfrontován s výraznou politickou a lobbistickou angažovaností své žačky a faktem, že upřednostnila moderní téma a úzkou specializaci. Jejich spor skončil sice neochotným návratem M. Paulové k byzantologii, v níž se nakonec stala respektovanou představitelkou, která pro tento obor dokázala získat mezinárodní uznání. Do širšího povědomí se ale M. Paulová vepsala jako elitní historička českého a jihoslovanského protihabsburského odboje, přičemž její Jugoslavenski odbor zůstává dodnes fundamentálním dílem zachycujícím zrod Jugoslávie. V životě M. Paulové se zrcadlí jak proměny politických a společenských poměrů, tak proměny historické vědy (zejména slavistiky a byzantologie) a českého, resp. československého univerzitního života.

Profesor Jaroslav Bidlo a jho žačka Milada Paulová jako spoluzakladatelé české byzantologie a slavistiky patří dodnes k významným představitelům naší historické vědy. Spojovalo je nesporné nadání k vědecké práci, svědomitost a preciznost, pevná vůle, pečlivost a v neposlední řadě ctižádostivost. Oba dokázali, pokud to považovali za nutné, za své zájmy rovněž úspěšně bojovat i mimo univerzitní půdu. Rozdělovala je však občas nezvládnutá emocionalita a neústupnost, i názor na postavení vědy ve společenském a politickém životě. Díky dosud nepublikovaným dokumentům můžeme sledovat nejen osobní a profesní růst obou aktérů, ale i vývoj oborů, jejichž studiu se celý život věnovali.

Eric Gill se narodil v roce 1882 v anglickém Brightonu a už v útlém dětství projevoval zájem o písmo a architekturu i nadání pro tyto obory. Na popud W. R. Leihabyho z Centrální školy umění a řemesel začal vyřezávat písmena a navštěvovat výuku Edwarda Johnstona. V roce 1903 odešel na volnou nohu a započal svou celoživotní dráhu jako řemeslník. V roce 1924 jej požádal Stanley Morison, aby napsal článek o typografii do typografického časopisu Fleuron. Odmítl s tím, že typografie "není jeho světem". Už v roce 1925 však Gill rozpracoval několik abeced (z jedné z nich se nakonec stala Perpetua) a také formuloval zásady, které později sebral do svého slavného "Eseje". Eric Gill měl nadání pro bezpočet věcí. Do své smrti v roce 1940 si osvojil mnoho řemesel: byl sochařem, kameníkem, rytcem, filozofem, ilustrátorem a typografem. V srdci však zůstával pokrokovým radikálem a sociálním reformátorem, v jehož práci se vždy odrážela jeho filozofie a jehož ruka se řídila jeho morálním přesvědčením.

Sound Authorities shows how experiences of music and sound played a crucial role in nineteenth-century scientific inquiry in Britain. In Sound Authorities, Edward J. Gillin focuses on hearing and aurality in Victorian Britain, claiming that the development of the natural sciences in this era cannot be understood without attending to the study of sound and music. During this time, scientific practitioners attempted to fashion themselves as authorities on sonorous phenomena, coming into conflict with traditional musical elites as well as religious bodies. Gillin pays attention to sound in both musical and nonmusical contexts, specifically the cacophony of British industrialization. Sound Authorities begins with the place of acoustics in early nineteenth-century London, examining scientific exhibitions, lectures, spectacles, workshops, laboratories, and showrooms. He goes on to explore how mathematicians mobilized sound in their understanding of natural laws and their vision of a harmonious ordered universe. In closing, Gillin delves into the era’s religious and metaphysical debates over the place of music (and humanity) in nature, the relationship between music and the divine, and the tensions between spiritualist understandings of sound and scientific ones.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ABIA BIOGRAPHY BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2024The powerful, untold story of two of the three members of iconic Australian band Silverchair. It all began in Ben Gillies' garage - where three high school kids from Newcastle, New South Wales, created magic with their smash-hit single 'Tomorrow', setting them on a path to domination of the Australian charts, worldwide touring and fame. So much has been written about Silverchair over the years but very little has been said by the band's members. In Love & Pain, drummer Ben Gillies and bass player Chris Joannou retrace their footsteps from childhood friends living across the road from each other, and share their often hilarious, wild and unforgettable stories from the rock 'n' roll spotlight, along with the exhilarating highs and heart-wrenching lows they faced along the way. There was also all the love and pain that came from being in the band: the cost of fame and intense pressure on two teenagers who had no way of preparing for it, and the complex dynamics of navigating friendships with each other and their relationships with friends and family members, the mistakes they made and the successes they cherished. Gillies and Joannou write with vulnerability and raw and blistering honesty, making for an extraordinary account of a band adored by so many.

An engaging account of how Shaftesbury revolutionized Western philosophyAt the turn of the eighteenth century, Anthony Ashley Cooper, the third Earl of Shaftesbury (1671–1713), developed the first comprehensive philosophy of beauty to be written in English. It revolutionized Western philosophy. In A Philosophy of Beauty, Michael Gill presents an engaging account of how Shaftesbury’s thought profoundly shaped modern ideas of nature, religion, morality, and art—and why, despite its long neglect, it remains compelling today. Before Shaftesbury’s magnum opus, Charactersticks of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times (1711), it was common to see wilderness as ugly, to associate religion with fear and morality with unpleasant restriction, and to dismiss art as trivial or even corrupting. But Shaftesbury argued that nature, religion, virtue, and art can all be truly beautiful, and that cherishing and cultivating beauty is what makes life worth living. And, as Gill shows, this view had a huge impact on the development of natural religion, moral sense theory, aesthetics, and environmentalism. Combining captivating historical details and flashes of humor, A Philosophy of Beauty not only rediscovers and illuminates a fascinating philosopher but also offers an inspiring reflection about the role beauty can play in our lives.

A taky že by místo řvaní: "Mami, já to nemůžu najít" mohly zvednout svoje líné zadky a začít tu věc opravdu hledat. Když se k tomu přidají postupové zkoušky na střední škole a testy na řidičák, máma má co dělat, aby udržela celou rodinu v chodu a pohromadě, i přesto, že každý má namířeno úplně jinam a jeden z těch směrů je ulovit si v kuchyni další svačinu. Máma je vyčerpaná a cítí, že si její nikdy nekončící péče o rodinu nikdo neváží, a tak jedinou její útěchou je stále se zvětšující sklenice vína. Proč máma zase pije je čtvrtým a závěrečným dílem úspěšné knižní série spisovatelky a blogerky Gill Sims.

Dětské zimní boty Loap GILLI jsou ideální na každodenní nošení do školy, na procházku i na výlet. Svršek z polyuretanu doplněný textilií je odolný a snadno se udržuje. Fleecové zateplení nedovolí, aby si vaše ratolesti z venkovních aktivit odnesly rýmu kvůli nastydnutí od nohou. Podrážku tvoří termoplastická guma, díky níž se podrážka méně deformuje („neošoupává se”) a déle vydrží. Také má dobré protiskluzové vlastnosti. Tkaničky jsou u těchto bot spíše designovým prvkem a boty se utahují pomocí suchého zipu.

"A beautifully written and argued book." - Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, BabyThere is no shortage of voices demanding everyone pay attention to the violence trans women suffer. But one frighteningly basic question seems never to be answered: why does it happen? If men are not inherently evil and trans women do not intrinsically invite reprisal—which would make violence unstoppable—then the psychology of that violence had to arise at a certain place and time. The trans panic had to be invented.Award-winning historian Jules Gill-Peterson takes us from the bustling port cities of New York and New Orleans to the streets of London and Paris in search of the emergence of modern trans misogyny. She connects the colonial and military districts of the British Raj, the Philippines, and Hawai’i to the lively travesti communities of Latin America, where state violence has stamped a trans label on vastly different ways of life. Weaving together the stories of historical figures in a richly detailed narrative, the book shows how trans femininity emerged under colonial governments, the sex work industry, the policing of urban public spaces, and the area between the formal and informal economy.A Short History of Trans Misogyny is the first book to explain why trans women are burdened by such a weight of injustice and hatred.
