Club of Opportunities: The Garden od Problems - Jakub Jansa

The book uncovers the themes addressed in the Club of Opportunities, an episodic project created by artist Jakub Jansa, starring hybrid human-vegetable creatures who question authority and cultural and class relationships. Through the texts of the invited authors (Michal Novotný, Julie Béna, Kamil Nábělek, Noemi Purkrábková, Jozef Mrva Jr., Ernestyna Orlowska, Klára Vlasáková, Jan Bělíček), we get to the bottom of multiple problems - with celeriac ontology, black magic, humour, losing vision of the future and especially with taking root. Kniha podrobně odkrývá problémy obsažené ve výstavním projektu Club of Opportunities, epizodickém vyprávění umělce Jakuba Jansy. Vystupují zde hybridní lidsko-zeleninové bytosti, které nám přibližují témata kulturních a třídních vztahů, hierarchie a autority. Prostřednictvím textů přizvaných autorek a autorů, jako jsou Michal Novotný, Julie Béna, Kamil Nábělek, Noemi Purkrábková, Jozef Mrva ml., Ernestyna Orlowska, Klára Vlasáková či Jan Bělíček, se dostáváme na kloub různým problémům - s celerovou ontologií, černou magií, humorem, ztrátou vize budoucnosti a zejména se zakořeněním.

Why Is the Middle East Entering a “New Era?” Is It a New Dawn? Is It a Setting Sun? In the third decade of the twenty-first century, the Middle East is entering a new era. A multifaceted and intricate equilibrium will write the next chapter of this region. The new era we are entering is fraught with challenges and full of opportunities. The new era is both defined by, and a result of, a combination of ancient and modern, domestic, regional, and international processes. Iran and Turkey each strive to position themselves as the regional superpower. In parallel, the people of the region struggle to overcome increasing domestic challenges. These developments, combined with an escalating struggle over path, identity, and direction, could result in a new model of statehood in the Arab world. While some countries take the turbulent path toward a possible new statehood model, others are fighting for their sovereignty and survival.

The Book of Garden Flowers builds on the success of Angie Lewin’s and Christopher Stocks’ previous collaborations; The Book of Wild Flowers (Thames & Hudson, 2024) and The Book of Pebbles (Thames & Hudson, 2020.) While The Book of Wild Flowers explored the natural history of Britain’s favourite wild species, The Book of Garden Flowers is more a social history, bringing into focus some of the remarkable people who introduced exotic plants to our gardens from around the globe, including: • Margery Fish, secretary to six successive editors at the Daily Mail, who rescued many cottage garden flowers from obscurity • Ellen Willmot, who employed over 100 staff in her garden and burned through a huge fortune thanks to her passion for plants, dying penniless and alone • Charles Dickens, who became obsessed with a particular pelargonium • John Gerrard, the famous 17th-century herbalist, who planted the first nasturtiums in the ...

The Science of Garden Biodiversity - Julian Doberski

You step out of the back door into the garden. There may be a few birds flitting around, perhaps butterflies or bumblebees on the wing. But often the garden can seem very still. But if you look beyond the superficial inactivity there is an ecological web of wildlife to explore, to understand and then to encourage more biodiversity.The Science of Garden Biodiversity: The Living Garden shows how data and science can help to dispel myths, such as that a garden fit for wildlife must be ‘ wild’ and that you must grow native plants. It also provides an understanding of how diverse life can be in gardens and how gardens work. And along the way there are scientific ‘ signposts’ to better wildlife gardening. Julian Doberski explains the role of ''small things'' - microorganisms and invertebrates - that are fundamental to the ecological functioning of gardens. Learning more about the ecology of a garden helps us understand and appreciate what makes a garden a refuge for wildlife and how following the science may lead to a more thoughtful and constructive approach to gardening and garden design and garden planting.

The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge - Karl Popper

In a letter of 1932, Karl Popper described Die beiden Grundprobleme der Erkenntnistheorie – The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge – as ‘…a child of crises, above all of …the crisis of physics.’Finally available in English, it is a major contribution to the philosophy of science, epistemology and twentieth century philosophy generally.The two fundamental problems of knowledge that lie at the centre of the book are the problem of induction, that although we are able to observe only a limited number of particular events, science nevertheless advances unrestricted universal statements; and the problem of demarcation, which asks for a separating line between empirical science and non-science.Popper seeks to solve these two basic problems with his celebrated theory of falsifiability, arguing that the inferences made in science are not inductive but deductive; science does not start with observations and proceed to generalise them but with problems, which it attacks with bold conjectures.The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge is essential reading for anyone interested in Karl Popper, in the history and philosophy of science, and in the methods and theories of science itself.

In the Garden of the Righteous - Richard Hurowitz

This book is more timely than ever.”—Stuart E. Eizenstat, author of Imperfect Justice: Looted Assets, Slave Labor, and the Unfinished Business of World War IIThese powerfully illuminating and inspiring profiles pay tribute to the incredible deeds of the Righteous Among the Nations, little-known heroes who saved countless lives during the Holocaust.Less than a century ago, the Second World War took the lives of more than fifty million people; more than six million of them were systematically exterminated through crimes of such enormity that a new name to describe the horror was coined: the Holocaust. Yet amid such darkness, there were glimmers of light—courageous individuals who risked everything to save those hunted by the Nazis. Today, as bigotry and intolerance and the threats of fascism and authoritarianism are ascendent once again, these heroes’ little-known stories—among the most remarkable in human history—resonate powerfully.

The Garden at the End of Time - John Hanson Mitchell

John Hanson Mitchell has long written about his garden outside of Boston, and about the plants and animals with whom he shares this land. In 2022, the United Nations and others started reporting the true severity of the climate crisis as the Earth passed a point of no return. All across the globe it was the worst year on record for climate-related disasters, including extinctions, deadly floods, massive fires, and dramatic droughts. Mitchell, like so many, felt overwhelmed. He looked to the story of Voltaire’s Candide, and settled on the famous aphorism from that book: “We must cultivate our garden.”The Garden at the End of Time features Mitchell’s trademark blend of science, literature, and anecdote as he processes both the information he is reading from various sources and what it prompts him to do in his own small corner of the world. The story that unfolds is one of Mitchell diversifying his plantings; fighting what he sees as unnecessary local development; walking through and observing changes in the wild lands nearby; continuing to read the news from around the world; and meditating on other moments, real and imagined, when people sought refuge even as they did their part to improve ...

DVD film Česká mše vánoční, Jakub Jan Ryba [1988]. Nahráno 18. a 19. října 1988 v kostele v Rožmitále pod Třemšínem. Dolby Digital. Jakub Jan Ryba - ČESKÁ MŠE VÁNOČNÍ „Hej mistře"Kyrie • Gloria • Graduale • Credo • Offerlorium Sanctus • Benedictus • Agnus Dei • Communio Česká mše vánoční s podtitulem „Hej mistře, vstaň bystře" Jakuba Jana Ryby (1765-1815) se stala nejznámějším dílem jednoho ve své době z nejvzdělanějších českých kantorů a muzikantů, který svůj životní osud spojil s působením ve školských službách v malém městečku Rožmitále pod Třemšínem. Ryba v Rožmitále vyvíjel mnohostrannou činnost osvětovou, didaktickou, literární a zejména hudební. V jeho skladatelském odkazu nalezneme řadu mší na latinský text, ale jen jednu na text český. Ryba v tomto případě použil vlastní české podání příběhu o narození Krista v Betlémě po vzoru lidových jesličkových her. Od prvního provedení o Vánocích roku 1796 se Rybova česká mše postupně stala symbolem českých vánočních svátků a je v hojné míře provozována dodnes.

Česká mše vánoční (Jakub Jan Ryba) (Vinyl LP)

Česká mše vánoční - Jakub Jan Ryba (2024) - Vinyl LP. Nejslavnější dílo českých Vánoc v novém remasterovaném vydání na LP. Nejslavnější dílo Jakuba Jana Ryby a skladba symbolizující české Vánoce vznikla v roce 1796. Není to mše v tradičním slova smyslu, ale lidová hra o zvěstování a narození Ježíše Krista a příchodu pastýřů k jesličkám na důvěrně známý český text začínající slovy „Hej mistře, vstaň bystře“, který si Ryba napsal sám. Hudba je to radostná a velmi přístupná, mnoho výjevů si posluchač snadno zapamatuje a rád se k nim vrací. Už od svého vzniku je to neobyčejně populární dílo a v čase Vánoc se objevuje v desítkách či spíše stovkách provedení. Na vinylové desce teď znovu vychází jedna z klasických nahrávek, která má romantický a trochu nostalgický charakter, jaký obvykle Vánoce mají. Je to snímek s dlouholetým šéfem Symfonického orchestru hl. m. Prahy FOK Václavem Smetáčkem, zpívá Český pěvecký sbor (dnes Pražský filharmonický sbor) s legendárním sbormistrem Josefem Veselkou a sólisté Jaroslava Vymazalová, Marie Mrázová, Beno Blachut a Zdeněk Kroupa.

Ella in the Garden of Giverny - Daniel Fehr

This intriguing child''s-eye view of Monet and the development of impressionism takes as its premise how artists flocked to Giverny at the turn of the 20th century to study the painter''s technique. It tells the story of Ella, the daughter of one such artist, who sneaks into Monet''s garden, and develops a friendship with him. As Ella sketches, Monet talks about his life, career, and his technique. And he explains the idea of Impressionism in a way that will make children not only understand the genre, but also want to imitate it themselves. Monika Vaicenavičienė''s subtly colored and dreamily delicate illustrations strike the perfect note as they reflect Ella''s interpretation of Monet''s beautiful garden. Readers will learn about important moments in Monet''s life, including his struggles with critics and his own self-doubt, while also appreciating the easy comradery between a wise and experienced artist and a young, opinionated yet impressionable painter. The book ends with a brief biography of Monet in timeline form and information about impressionism as well as Giverny and museums that feature Monet''s work.

The Dark Side of Jane Austen's World - Angela Youngman

Jane Austen’s novels are read all over the globe, and adaptations of her works have graced both film and TV screens. Although sometimes criticised for being detached from the real world, providing nothing more than light-hearted plot-driven story lines, the reality is very different. Jane was aware of the evils of society, of the problems faced by women whether single or married. Underneath the entertaining story lines are much darker aspects of Regency and Georgian life. Staying single resulted in serious problems for young women; there were very few alternatives open to them, while marriage itself resulted in other risks. The threats of poverty or becoming a victim of crime were also an issue. Indeed, Jane’s aunt spent months in prison and faced the threat of transportation for theft. Other problems society faced included those posed by opium addiction, poor medical standards, and a lack of property leaving young men and women struggling to survive. Many sought solutions in India, leading to the creation of ‘fishing fleets’ with girls sent to marry total unknowns. Meanwhile, the issues of slavery brought more problems, and social disorder was rife. Jane Austen created classic stories that have endured the test of time, reflecting ...

Dress in the Age of Jane Austen - Hilary Davidson

A comprehensive and beautifully illustrated examination of dress, clothing, fashion, and sewing in the Regency seen through the lens of Jane Austen’s life and writings This lively book reveals the clothing and fashion of the world depicted in Jane Austen’s beloved books, focusing on the long Regency between the years 1795 and 1825. During this period, accelerated change saw Britain’s turbulent entry into the modern age, and clothing reflected these transformations. Starting with the intimate perspective of clothing the self, Dress in the Age of Jane Austen moves outward through the social and cultural spheres of home, village, countryside, and cities, and into the wider national and global realms, exploring the varied ways people dressed to inhabit these environments. Jane Austen’s famously observant fictional writings, as well as her letters, provide the entry point for examining the Regency age’s rich complexity of fashion, dress, and textiles for men and women in their contemporary contexts.  Lavishly illustrated with paintings, drawings, historic garments, and fashion plates—including many previously unpublished images—this authoritative yet accessible book will help readers visualize the external selves of Austen’s immortal characters as clearly as she wrote of their internal ones. The result is an enhanced understanding of ... Unknown localization key: "more"
