For a relatively ephemeral feature of the landscape of those English uplands made of porous chalk and limestone, the artificial watering sites for livestock known as dew ponds have been the subject of a great deal of legend, outright misinformation, experimentation and scientific research. This generated much published material from the late 1700 onwards, the key elements of which are highlighted in this book. These parts of the farmed landscape are of uncertain age, and for centuries they had been essential water sources for the great flocks of sheep that grazed the upland pastures. Today, a well-watered dew pond is an attractive aspect of the landscape, and they are increasingly recognised as valuable sources of wildlife diversity. David Rivière explores the history, construction and restoration of dew ponds as well as their representation in myth and art in this introduction to an increasingly forgotten feature of the country⠙s landscape heritage.

Nové CD album Robert Křesťan Druhá tráva - Díl první (2021) - Přední česká nadžánrová kapela Druhá tráva vydává po dlouhých devíti letech nové řadové album. Desetipísňová kolekce nazvaná jednoduše Díl první je součástí dvojalbového projektu, jehož druhá část vyjde příští rok, kdy skupina oslaví 30 let na scéně. Na aktuální nahrávce Druhá tráva přirozeně mixuje svůj autorský materiál s převzatými skladbami. Ty do češtiny přebásnil frontman kapely Robert Křesťan. V diskografii skupiny je Díl první výjimečným počinem i kvůli tomu, že na nahrávku dohlížel Brit Eddie Stevens, známý producentskou prací pro respektované kapely. Podařilo se mu umocnit již tak velmi osobitý zvuk Druhé trávy a přirozeně a nerušivě jej obohatit o zvuky, často typické pro elektronickou muziku či jiné žánry. 1.

Building Theories speaks to the value of words in architecture. It addresses the author⠙s fascination with the voices of architects, engineers, builders, and craftspeople whose ideas about building have been captured in text. It discusses the content of treatises, essays, articles, and letters by those who have been, throughout history, committed to the art of building. In this, Building Theories argues for the return of a practice of architectural theory that is set amongst building, buildings, and builders. This journey of close reading reinterprets the words of Vitruvius, Alberti, de L⠙Orme, Le Camus de Mézières, Boullée, Laugier, Rondelet, Semper, Viollet-le-Duc, Hübsch, Bötticher, Berlage, Muthesius, Wagner, Behrendt, Gropius, and Arup. With chapters dedicated to texts from antiquity, the Renaissance, and the nineteenth century, and with a critical eye on architectural theory popularized in the Anglo-Saxon world post-1968, readers are introduced to a wider, more inclusive definition of architectural ideas. Building Theories considers how contemporary scholarship has steered away from the topic of building in its reluctance to admit that both design and construction are central to its concerns. In response, it argues for a realignment of architecture with the concept of techné, with a dual commitment to fabrica e ratio, with a productive return to l⠙art de bien bastir, with the accurate translation of the term Baukunst, and with an appeal to the architect⠙s ⠘composite mind.⠙ Students, practitioners, and educators will identify in Building Theories ways of thinking that strive for the integration of design with construction; reject the supposed primacy of the former over the latter; recognize how aesthetics are an insufficient scaffold for subtending the subject of architectural ethics; and accept, without reservation, that material transformations have always been at the origins of built form.

The story of natural law - the idea that God has written a law on the human heart so that ethical norms derive from human nature - in twentieth-century Protestant ethics is one of rejection and resurgence. For half a century, luminaries like Karl Barth, Carl F. H. Henry, and Cornelius Van Til cast a shadow over natural law moral reflection because of its putative link to natural theology, autonomous reason, associations with Catholic theology, and ethical witness devoid of special revelation. However, over the past twenty years, Protestant theologians have renewed their interest in the subject, often animated by debates on Christian involvement in the public arena and on matters of life, death, and gender and sexuality. Much of this engagement has happened within Reformed circles and has largely been conducted without reference to Roman Catholic construals of the natural law. Conversely, Catholic developments in natural-law thinking have paid little attention to the surge of interest on the Protestant side. As a result, Protestant and Catholic natural proponents - and even those skeptical of the natural law - are not in conversation with one another.The lack of dialog between the various schools of natural law has left a historic tradition within Christian moral thought underdeveloped in contemporary Protestant theology. By bringing together a variety of perspectives in much-needed conversation, this book helps readers to understand the various construals of natural law within the broader strands of Christian and classical traditions and clarifies its unique importance for Christian moral witness in a secular culture. The contributors address the following questions:What is natural law?Can moral norms be derived from immanent, creaturely ends? If so, how specific or action-guiding can those norms be? How extensive might these moral norms be?How does natural law endure despite Christian insistence on the noetic, epistemological effects of sin?What is the relationship between Christian reflection on natural law and the broader classical tradition s understanding of natural law?How do Catholic and Protestant construals of natural law differ?What is the relationship between faith and reason?What s the relationship between human nature and natural law?Does natural law mean: secular moral reasons ? Or is natural law merely religious belief disguised as public reason?How does natural law relate to public reason?Does the affirmation of a natural law lead to a natural theology? Or are these distinct?What is the relationship between natural law and the laws of nature?Five views:Classical Natural Law - Michael PakalukNew Natural Law - Melissa MoschellaReformed Natural Law - W.

Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality-including Robert s indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing. Despite a storied career on the British and American stage-as both performer and playwright-and a string of hit films including From Russia with Love, A Man for All Seasons, The Sting, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, international celebrity eluded Robert... until he was summoned to star in a little horror film called Jaws. What happened on-screen was unforgettable. What happened off-screen was chaos. Now Christopher Shaw Myers reveals the true story of the making of the classic. Jaws would become both an artistic success and a worldwide triumph for Robert Shaw. Tragically, for a man shadowed by his father s demons, it would also signal the beginning of the end. Drawing on family recollections, personal letters, scrapbooks, recordings, extensive interviews, and a lifetime of his own memories, Christopher paints a unique, intimate, and honest portrait of a man he was proud to call his uncle.

Audiokniha: Komentář k původní LP 1 18 2363 z roku 1978: V roce 1845 napsal Robert Browning, tehdy ještě málo známý anglický básník, mnohými považovaný za stěží srozumitelného excentrika, dopis slečně Elizabeth Barrettové, tehdy již proslulé básnířce, jejíž verše se těšily značné popularitě. V dopise ji poděkoval za to, že ve své poslední sbírce citovala s porozuměním jeho verše, a zároveň vyjádřil svůj obdiv k její poezii. Důvodem k napsání dopisu bylo v neposlední řadě i básníkovo dobré srdce - o slečně Barrettové se vědělo, že je vážně nemocná a nikdy neopouští svůj pokoj. Tento dopis, na který Elizabeth Barrettová odpověděla, měl pro život obou korespondentů dalekosáhlé následky. Začali si psát pravidelně - málo sdílný a velmi rezervovaný básník nalezl konečně někoho, komu se mohl svěřovat se svými plány, myšlenkami a záměry, a chorobně plachá žena, která se s výjimkou své rodiny stýkala se světem jen prostřednictvím korespondence, přemohla svůj ostych natolik, že o půl roku později povolila svému příteli z dopisů první návštěvu. Psali si téměř každý den po dobu půldruhého roku a napsali mimoděk (na 1200 stranách) příběh vlastní lásky, o které do poslední chvíle nevěděli, jak skončí. Bylo třeba nejdříve překonat úzkosti a obavy nemocné ženy, o šest let starší než Browning, že svým spojením s milovaným mužem přinese do jeho života jen zármutek a starosti, a také vyrovnat se s nepřekonatelným odporem jejího podivínského otce, který tvrdě požadoval, aby žádné z jeho jedenácti dospělých dětí neuzavíralo sňatek. Nakonec se musela dát Elizabeth Baarrettová s Browningem tajně oddat a odjela s ním do Itálie. Usadili se nejdříve v Pise a později ve Florencii, kde se jim narodil syn Robert Wiedermann, později známý malíř. V Itálii strávili patnáct let svého manželství, až do smrti E. B. Browningové, která zemřela ve Florencii v roce 1861. Robert Browning měl v době, kdy napsal první dopis E. Barrettové, za sebou vydání dramatické básně Paracelsus, básnický epos Sordello a první malé svazečky pásma lyrické a epické poezie, které nazval Zvonky a granátová jablka. Byla v nich jedna z jeho nejlepších básní Pippa jde mimo. Za svého pobytu v Itálii vytvořil řadu dramatických monologů, které vydal v obsáhlé sbírce Muži a ženy. Po smrti E. B. Browningové se usadil znovu v Londýně, aby poskytl synovi anglickou výchovu. Ještě za pobytu v Itálii ho zaujala drobná knížka líčící kdysi proslavený hrdelní proces a osudy jeho protagonistů. Browning zachytil průběh této hrdelní pře ve směle koncipované básni o 20 000 veršů, kterou nazval Prsten a kniha. Současníci, kritici, i čtenáři vytýkali dlouho jeho poezii přílišnou složitost, nesrozumitelnost, přetíženost historickými narážkami a metaforami. Nakonec jej však přece uznání neminulo. Po souborném vydání proslulost jeho díla časem vzrůstala (dožil se 82 let) a vyvrcholila založením Browningovské společnosti, jejímiž členy se stala řada jeho vynikajících současníků. Z díla E. B. Browninové přetrvává dosud rozsáhlý epos Aurora Leigh. Dějovou osnovou je velmi poplatný své době, ale jeho jádro tvoří již moderní svár mezi přáním ženy stát se pomocí své práce samostatnou ucelenou osobností a její touhou najít životní naplnění v lásce k milovanému muži. Nejvíce čteno a vydáváno je však oněch 44 dokonalých milostných sonetů - jak je nazval R. M. Rilke -, které vznikaly téměř souběžně s její korespondencí s Robertem Browningem a pod názvem Portugalské sonety jsou známy milovníkům poezie na celém světě. Korespondence Roberta Browninga a E. B. Barrettové vyšla v obsáhlém výboru v nakladatelství Odeon pod názvem Milý pane Browningu. Tyto dopisy, které si vyměnili v období let 1845 a 1846, tvoří zákonitou část literárního odkazu obou básníků. S niternou naléhavostí a vůlí k pravdě je v nich zachyceno v co věřili, doufali a co jeden v druhém nalezli. Hana Žantovská Každé zveřejnění soukromé korespondence je záležitostí nejen literární, nýbrž především etickou. Jestliže jsme se rozhodli zařadit korespondenci Elisabeth Barrettové s Robertem Browningem do repertoáru Violy (premiéru měla pod názvem Mé nebe za tvou zem 14. prosince 1973 a těší se dosud zájmu publika), bylo to také proto, že oba básníci se nevyhýbali tématu vzájemného vztahu ani ve svých verších. V nich jej zjevili - především básnířka - už svým současníkům, i když třeba pod průhlednou kamufláží: Elisabet Barrett Browningová nazvala své básně Portugalské sonety a vydávala je za překlad. Autorčiny verše zpětně vyvolaly zájem také o korespondenci. A tu se ukázalo, že milostné sonety slečny Barrettové - jedny z nejkrásnějších milostných sonetů světové poezie - jsou básnickou parafrází jejích dopisů. Z této skutečnosti vychází i náš scénář (jeho původní, dvojnásobná verze připravená pro Violu vznikla ve spolupráci s překladatelkou Hanou Žantovskou, která pro tento účel vybrala a přeložila básně Roberta Browninga). Dopis je proto doplňován, komentován, zobecněn, povýšen ze soukromého sdělení k objektivní hodnotě literární právě vřaz

No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. Hailed as ‘the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet’ by T.S. Eliot, he is the only writer in history to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes. In iconic poems like ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’, simple images summon the rural landscape of New England, and Frost unfailingly moves the reader with his profound grasp of the human condition. This is the most comprehensive and authoritative volume of Frost s verse available, comprising all eleven volumes of his poems, meticulously edited by Edward Connery Lathem. Review The most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living (T. S. Eliot) Frost was the first American poet who could honestly be reckoned a master-poet by world standards (Robert Graves) Robert Frost has passed into the poetic pantheon (Independent) Of all the poetry written in our generation, Frost s is most likely to stand the test of time (Lewis Gannett) About the Author Robert Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874. After the death of his father he moved with his mother and sister to Massachusetts. His first collection, A Boy s Will, was published in 1913. In 1924 he won the first of four Pulitzer Prizes for his fourth book, New Hampshire. In the 1930s, as he became ever more revered, he suffered a series of family tragedies: his youngest child Marjorie died in 1934, his wife Elinor in 1938, and his son Carol in 1940. Another daughter, Irma, suffered from mental illness. Frost s last major collection, A Witness Tree (1942), contains a number of poems reflecting these disasters. In 1957 Robert Frost received honorary degrees from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. He died in January 1963.

Weak or failed states - where no government is in control - are the source of many of the world s most serious problems, from poverty, AIDS and drugs to terrorism. What can be done to help? The problem of weak states and the need for state-building has existed for many years, but it has been urgent since September 11 and Afghanistan and Iraq. The formation of proper public institutions, such as an honest police force, uncorrupted courts, functioning schools and medical services and a strong civil service, is fraught with difficulties. We know how to help with resources, people and technology across borders, but state building requires methods that are not easily transported. The ability to create healthy states from nothing has suddenly risen to the top of the world agenda. State building has become a crucial matter of global security. In this hugely important book, Francis Fukuyama explains the concept of state-building and discusses the problems and causes of state weakness and its national and international effects.

When Sebastien Sasseville, an athlete with type 1 diabetes, decided to take part in the Race Across America, solo, he knew he was embarking on the most difficult ultra-cycling race in the world. What he didn t realise was that this experience, and the work that needed to be done ahead of it, would inform his thinking around a team-building model that had application beyond sports and deep into workplaces and boardrooms. This crossing of the United States from west to east, in a time trial of no more than 12 days, forces the riders to stay in the saddle for about 21 hours a day. Truly a solitary challenge, but one that is impossible to accomplish without an exceptional team that follows and supports the cyclist night and day. Together, Sebastien and co-author Gabriel Renaud, a high-performance athlete, corporate trainer, and member of the race team, have taken the model they used to build the Race Across America team and written Building Unstoppable Teams, a toolkit for building passionate teams that can accomplish the exceptional. Leadership, commitment, definition of objectives, group dynamics, adaptability, performance, motivation, and recognition are all components of successful team building and key pieces of the toolkit, but it all begins with getting the right people in place: the bees and eagles.
