cisla ohromujici a ochromujici william hartston

Ať se nám to líbí nebo ne, našim životům vládne matematika. Každodenní přísun čerstvých zpráv nás zahrnuje statistickými odhady, výzkumy veřejného mínění, posuzováním rizik, výpočty inflací, předpovědí počasí a klimatických pochodů a všemožnými politickými rozhodnutími, která jsou založena na údajně přesných číslech. Většinu z nás obvykle ani nenapadne tato čísla zpochybňovat nebo se ptát, co doopravdy znamenají, a jestli z nich náhodou neplyne víc otázek než odpovědí. Vzápětí všechny cifry pustíme z hlavy - pokud se vůbec dostaly dovnitř. Ve svém jednoduchém průvodci pro všechny, kdo zažívají ochromení z čísel, William Hartston jasně a s humorem vysvětluje, jak bezpečně projít minovým polem matematiky, která nás obklopuje. "Chytrá, vtipná a objevná kniha, která radí, jak jasně myslet uprostřed záplavy procent a pravděpodobností. Naučte se rozpoznat falešné vzorečky a podezřelé statistiky. Až 100 procent čtenářů shledá, že jde o zcela fascinující knihu. Doporučuje 92,53 procenta matematiků." Ian Stewart, britský matematik a spisovate

This is a political biography of William III (1650–1702): prince of Orange; stadhouder in the Netherlands from 1672; and (in a novel joint monarchy with his wife, Mary), king of England, Scotland, and Ireland after the revolution of 1688–9. William III explains how William overcame huge disadvantages at his birth to regain his family’s traditional dominance of Dutch politics; how he dedicated his life to the defeat of Louis XIV of France; how this brought him to the Stuart thrones in Britain and Ireland; and how he managed a war from 1689 which shifted the balance of Europe. William achieved these remarkable successes by being a new kind of ‘hybrid’ ruler. He befitted the traditional roles of aristocratic leadership and royalty: acting as a war leader, displaying personal and court magnificence, manipulating dynastic ties, and performing an authoritative masculinity. Yet he was also a master of an emerging public politics in which the opinions of others, and even wide populations, mattered. He persuaded his countries to fight Louis XIV of France with a brilliant mixture of mass print propaganda; skills of persuasion, compromise, and consent-building; a strong partnership with his popular wife; and a presentation of himself as his people’s ...

Before they became two of America’s most iconic pop artists, Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana were young aspiring creatives, living in New York. There, they met and befriended William John Kennedy, who would take some of the first photographs of these artists in their career. Many photographers worked with Andy Warhol, but few so early on in his career or in a such a uniquely collaborative fashion. After establishing a friendship with Robert Indiana and taking some of the first, important close-up images of him in his studio, Kennedy went on to work in a similarly creative way with Warhol.These striking images of the young Warhol and Indiana were lost for nearly 50 years before being rediscovered. They were immediately recognised as important documents by the Warhol Museum and by Robert Indiana, and presented in the Before they were Famous exhibition, which travelled to London and New York. The story of the re-discovery of these photographs was made into an acclaimed documentary in 2010 - Full Circle: Before They Were Famous, Documentary on William John Kennedy.William John Kennedy: The Lost Archive: Photographs of Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana will be the first of William John Kennedy’s books devoted solely to ...

Jak jsme se ocitli na tomto světě? Je možné se uživit jen psaním? Jak žít smysluplně a nezpronevěřit se vlastní duši? Tyto otázky si klade hlavní hrdina titulní povídky "Odvážný mladý muž na létající hrazdě", mladík, který se podobá Williamu Saroyanovi, a udává tón celé sbírce: "Jsem vypravěč a mám jen jediný příběh - člověka. Miluji život a před smrtí jsem pokorný. Jsem proti prostřednosti. Je-li někdo poctivý idiot, mohu ho milovat, nemohu však milovat nepoctivého génia. Co živ jsem se smál pravidlům a posmíval se tradicím, stylům i manýrám. Jak je možno dávat pravidla tak nádhernému vynálezu, jako je člověk?" William Saroyan se narodil roku 1908 v kalifornském Fresnu v rodině arménského původu. Když mu byly tři roky, zemřel mu otec a William byl i se sourozenci umístěn do sirotčince. Později se rodina v čele s matkou znovu spojila a dospívající William začal brzy pracovat. Když doma narazil na několik otcových povídek, rozhodl se, že se stane spisovatelem. Kritiky zaujal především humanistickou povídkou "Odvážný mladý muž na létající hrazdě", posléze se na literární scéně etabloval emotivními knihami Lidská komedie, Tracyho tygr, Tati, tobě přeskočilo, Mami, mám tě ráda či dramatem Čas tvého života. William Saroyan zemřel v roce 1981. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and William Hill Sports Book of the Year: Barbarian Days is a deeply rendered self-portrait of a lifelong surfer looking for transcendence ''that recalls early James Salter'' (Geoff Dyer, Observer)Surfing only looks like a sport. To devotees, it is something else entirely: a beautiful addiction, a mental and physical study, a passionate way of life.New Yorker writer William Finnegan first started surfing as a young boy in California and Hawaii. Barbarian Days is his immersive memoir of a life spent travelling the world chasing waves through the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, Africa and beyond. Finnegan describes the edgy yet enduring brotherhood forged among the swell of the surf; and recalling his own apprenticeship to the world''s most famous and challenging waves, he considers the intense relationship formed between man, board and water.Barbarian Days is an old-school adventure story, a social history, an extraordinary exploration of one man''s gradual mastering of an exacting and little-understood art. It is a memoir of dangerous obsession and enchantment. ''Reading this guy on the subject of waves and water is like reading Hemingway on bullfighting; William Burroughs on controlled substances; Updike on adultery. . . . a coming-of-age story, seen ...

William Hague has written the life of William Wilberforce who was both a staunch conservative and a tireless campaigner against the slave trade.Hague shows how Wilberforce, after his agonising conversion to evangelical Christianity, was able to lead a powerful tide of opinion, as MP for Hull, against the slave trade, a process which was to take up to half a century to be fully realised. Indeed, he succeeded in rallying to his cause the support in the Commons Debates of some the finest orators in Parliament, having become one of the most respected speakers of those times.Hague examines twenty three crucial years in British political life during which Wilberforce met characters as varied as Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, Tsar Alexander of Russia, and the one year old future Queen Victoria who used to play at his feet. He was friend and confidant of Pitt, Spencer Perceval and George Canning. He saw these figures raised up or destroyed in twenty three years of war and revolution.Hague presents us with a man who teemed with contradictions: he took up a long list of humanitarian causes, yet on his home turf would show himself to be a firm supporter of the instincts, ...
