The first book to explore David SmithÂ’s deep engagement with the natural world as source, subject, and site for his art. Spanning the full career of the sculptor David Smith (1906–65), this study features some fifty sculptures alongside related paintings, reliefs, and works on paper to reclaim the primacy of nature within his expansive oeuvre. SmithÂ’s adventurous approach to three-dimensional form has permanently expanded the vocabulary and range of sculptural practice. The first American artist to make welded metal sculptures and incorporate industrial means in his work, SmithÂ’s enlistment of nature as material and prime setting for his art was equally innovative. As explored in the bookÂ’s introduction, reflections by the artistÂ’s daughters, and an essay by Jed Morse, SmithÂ’s creative vision is firmly rooted in landscape and the natural world. Â

The chief prosecution witness in the Moors Murders trial gives his account of the case after more than four decades of silenceDespite standing as chief prosecution witness in the Moors Murders trial, David Smith was vilified by the public due to the accusations thrown at him by Myra Hindley and Ian Brady about his involvement in their crimes. Hindley s later confession that she and Brady had lied in an attempt to reduce their sentences did little to diminish the slurs against his name. For over four decades, Smith was asked by writers and film-makers to tell his story. Apart from a handful of brief interviews, he always refused. Carol Ann Lee met Smith during her research for One of Your Own, her critically acclaimed biography of Hindley, following which he finally agreed to reveal all. In Evil Relations (previously published as Witness), interviews, archival research and, most significantly, David Smith s own vivid memoir are fused to create an unforgettable, often harrowing account of his life before, during and after the Moors Murders.David Smith lived in rural Ireland with his wife prior to his death in May 2012. He is survived by four children and several grandchildren. Carol Ann Lee is an acclaimed biographer and has written extensively on the Holocaust. Her most recent publication, One of Your Own, focused on the life and death of Myra Hindley.

With many now seeing the return of British Rail as a solution to the manifest problems on Britain s railways in the 21st century, the work of BR is being re-evaluated on various levels. This book focuses on one aspect of this, BR s architectural legacy showing how it pursued innovation and experiment in this field. British Rail Architecture demonstrates how twentieth century British railway stations were being brought into the mainstream of modern architecture. It explores not just the buildings and their designers but styles, materials, furniture, colours, artworks and unexpected links to distant places that inspired these changing design idioms. The book s structure is loosely chronological, accounting for the time architecture takes to evolve from a sketch to a finished building. It begins with the ambitious ideas conceived during the 1930s with inspiration from mainland Europe and then examines post Second World War reconstruction as a precursor to the considerable innovation of the 1950s and 1960s. The narrative then recounts the new design ideas brought to the railway environment during the 1970s and the considerable investments in comprehensive reconstruction and new station projects between in the 1980s and 90s. The book s author, David Lawrence, is a professional in this field, his 2016 title, British Rail Designed 1948 - 1997 has received justifiable acclaim and has already been reprinted.

David Cajthaml (1959) je malíř, scénograf, grafik, hudebník (punková kapela Energie G) a spisovatel. O sobě říká: Pokud se dívám na svůj stín, vidím sám sebe jako člověka. Jedna polovina duše patří sebevrahovi, druhá tvořivci. Obě řešení jsou možná, ale člověk nesmí být v ničem dokonalý; být dokonalý sebevrah vylučuje přežití a v tvorbě má větší hodnotu chyba než dokonalost. Cit mi určuje nic neudělat dokonale, a tak nechat všemu možnost vlastního konce. Odskočil jsem si v životě vyzkoušet poučku sex, drogy a rokenrol, jejichž pachuť mi vsákla do jazyka, a tím i do mých vyjádření, tedy myšlenek, které se tvoří na mlhou zahaleném jazyku. V knize Mořská dívka se proplétají absurdní a snivá slovní spojení s expresivními kresbami, celek je jasný.

Against the background of broad brush strokes of Nepal s history and geography, David Hawker tells a dramatic story. After 20 years working in Nepal, Nurse Ellen Findlay saw an opportunity to go and attempt to meet the desperate needs of people living in the remote and inaccessible mountains of Nepal. With vision, determination and bravery, she and surgeon Mike Smith pioneered outreach into some of Nepal s most isolated and poverty-stricken communities. For 25 years, 7-10 day surgical, medical and dental camps were organised, treating more than 100,000 sick people during civil war and political upheaval, many in places with no roads or airstrips. Finally, after the massive earthquake of 2015, specialist gynaecological and ear centres were established to provide ongoing treatment and training for Nepali clinicians.

Friday, 12th February, 1993. Two outwardly unremarkable ten-year-old boys began the day by playing truant and ended it running an errand for the local video shop. In between they abducted and killed a two-year-old boy, James Bulger. In search of an explanation, award-winning journalist David James Smith looks behind the misinformation, misunderstanding and sensational reporting to an exact account of the events of that day. A sensitive and definitive account, The Sleep of Reason achieves a unique understanding of the James Bulger case, and comes as close as may ever be possible to explaining how two ten-year-olds could kill.

An unusual collection of writing by and about mystic artist Harry Smith• Explores in depth the occult and mystical side of Smith—his “heaven and earth magic”—focusing on how his varied artistic efforts were part of a comprehensive magical and alchemical practice• Includes unpublished photos of and letters from Smith, rare interviews, one of his unpublished texts, and essays by scholars and friendsHarry Smith (1923–1991) was a legendary twentieth-century artist, filmmaker, painter, anthropologist, ethnomusicologist, and archivist. Especially well known for his Anthology of American Folk Music, innovative abstract realms, and extraordinary collection of paper airplanes now housed at the Getty Research Institute, Smith also had a deep esoteric and mystical side, with experimentation in magic, Tarot, Kabbalah, and other occult practices. Like other alchemists, Smith’s life mission was to create a unified work from disparate elements, a synthesis of correspondences between seemingly unrelated topics—from music, string figures, and Seminole patterns to the relationship between sound and film imagery.Presenting the most diverse collection of writings about Harry Smith, this volume explores the far-ranging esoteric themes that run throughout his art and career. The book includes never-before-seen photos, rare interviews, personal letters, and an unpublished text by Harry Smith, The 96 Apparitions of the 96 Alchemical Formulae (1 to 36), as well as personal reminiscences from Smith’s friends and former students. Smith’s groundbreaking mystical wisdom, heaven and earth magic, and influence as an artist of the extremes leap from the pages in this book, confirming his contribution to art, music, film, and modern alchemy.

Audiokniha: Ve svých slavných vzpomínkách Patti Smith dokumentuje bouřlivý milostný vztah, i vlastní profesní začátky v divokém prostředí amerického undergroundu. LÁSKA, SEX A AMERICKÝ UNDERGROUND - PATTI SMITH O PATTI SMITH. Patti Smith v knize Just Kids: Jsou to jen děti upřímně a zároveň se strhujícím zápalem vypráví o vztahu s fotografem Robertem Mapplethorpem, kterému sepsání knihy slíbila před jeho smrtí. Jejich milostný vztah byl poznamenán chudobou i Robertovým hledáním vlastní sexuality, po jeho skončení přesto zůstali přáteli. Kniha Just Kids zaznamenává zpěvaččiny hudební začátky i divoká společná léta mimo jiné ve slavném newyorském hotelu Chelsea a dodnes zůstává jedním z nejsilnějších dokumentů o americkém undergroundu konce 60. let a poloviny 70. let. Americká zpěvačka a básnířka Patti Smith je jednou z nejvýraznějších tváří dějin punku a nové vlny. Proslavilo ji už její debutové album Horses z roku 1975 a dlouholetá hudební i literární dráha. Kniha Just Kids jí vyšla v roce 2010, a stala se součástí několika žebříčků nejoceňovanějších knih daného roku. Ve stejném roce za ni Patti Smith získala také National Book Award. Anita Krausová je přes své mládí už interpretkou řady audioknih, třeba O Pavlovi, Do tmy či Zmizení Sáry Lindertové. Přesto s ní práce na Just Kids otřásla: Po tvářích se mi koulely slzy. V tom je Pattina kniha jedinečná. Radost, smutek, nadšení, závrať, to všechno se při čtení pomalu vpíjí pod kůži a už tam zůstane napořád. Anita spolupracuje také na podcastové a rozhlasové tvorbě a známá je i díky řadě filmových a televizních rolí, mimo jiné v sérii Pustina, Rapl II, Vodník či Bez vědomí.

‘Full of dark, deadpan humour, Brat is a raucous story of the messy, messed-up business of living, dying and having a family.’ Financial Times ‘A moving coming-of-age family story’ Observer #39;Iconic #39;, Radio 1I was in the waiting room. Then I was in the examination room. Gabriel’s skin is falling off. His dad is dead. He owes his editor a novel. His girlfriend won’t answer his calls. Tasked by his horribly well-adjusted brother with clearing out the family home for sale, Gabriel’s sanity quickly begins to unravel. His parents’ old manuscripts appear to change each time he reads them. A bizarre home video hints at long-buried secrets. And there’s a hideous man in the garden. Disquieting and hilarious, taut yet lyrical, blisteringly-paced but formally inventive, Brat is a mediation on grief, art and love that will leave you altered, breathless and desperate for more. From a stunningly original new talent, this is a debut novel unlike anything you have read before. ‘This original, clever story is brilliant on grief, madness and creativity. It’s beautifully written, hilarious and heart-breaking. I raced through it.’ Daily Mail ​‘For readers looking for something that will grip you from start to finish, Brat is sure to be your breath of fresh air. The novel crackles with gothic horror, deadpan humor, and a damning sense of alienation that you won’t soon shake.’ Chicago Review of Books ‘Smith #39;s picaresque first novel is told from the perspective of Gabriel, a writer struggling with numerous issues . . . a deeply gothic work that never quite settles the reader in a certain world as Gabriel’s foibles, ghostly visions, and uncertainties filter every moment.

A deeply moving and brilliantly idiosyncratic visual book of days by the National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids and M Train. More than 365 images chart Smith’s singular aesthetic - inspired by her wildly popular InstagramIn 2018, without any plan or agenda for what might happen next, Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with the simple message “Hello Everybody!” Known for shooting with her beloved Land Camera 250, Smith started posting images from her phone including portraits of her kids, her radiator, her boots, and her Abyssinian cat, Cairo. Followers felt an immediate affinity with these miniature windows into Smith’s world, photographs of her daily coffee, the books she’s reading, the graves of beloved heroes - William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil, Albert Camus.Over time, a coherent story of a life devoted to art took shape, and more than a million followers responded to Smith’s unique aesthetic in images that chart her passions, devotions, obsessions, and whims. Original to this book are vintage photographs: anniversary pearls, a mother’s keychain, and a husband’s Mosrite guitar. Here, too, are never-before-seen photos of life on and off the road, train stations, obscure cafés, a notebook always nearby.In wide-ranging yet intimate daily notations, Smith shares dispatches from her travels around the world. With 365 photographs, taking you through a single year, A Book of Days is a new way to experience the expansive mind of the visionary poet, writer, and performer. Hopeful, elegiac, playful - and complete with an introduction by Smith that explores her documentary process - A Book of Days is a timeless offering for deeply uncertain times, an inspirational map of an artist’s life.

A superb book Financial Times, Books of the YearAdam Smith is now widely regarded as the father of modern economics and the most influential economist who ever lived. But what he really thought, and what the implications of his ideas are, remain fiercely contested. Was he an eloquent advocate of capitalism and the freedom of the individual? Or a prime mover of market fundamentalism and an apologist for inequality and human selfishness? Or something else entirely? Jesse Norman s brilliantly conceived \book gives us not just Smith s economics, but his vastly wider intellectual project. Against the turbulent backdrop of Enlightenment Scotland, it lays out a succinct and highly engaging account of Smith s life and times, reviews his work as a whole and traces his influence over the past two centuries.But this book is not only a biography. It dispels the myths and debunks the caricatures that have grown up around Adam Smith. It explores Smith s ideas in detail, from ethics to law to economics and government, and the impact of those ideas on thinkers as diverse as Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek. Far from being simply an economist, Adam Smith emerges as one of the founders of modern social psychology and behavioural theory. Far from being a doctrinaire libertarian or neoliberal thinker, he offers a strikingly modern evolutionary theory of political economy, which recognises the often complementary roles of markets and the state.At a time when economics and politics are ever more polarized between left and right, this book, by offering a Smithian analysis of contemporary markets, predatory capitalism and the 2008 financial crash, returns us to first principles and shows how the lost centre of modern public debate can be recreated. Through Smith s work, it addresses crucial issues of inequality, human dignity and exploitation; and it provides a compelling explanation of why he remains central to any attempt to defend, reform or renew the market system.

The National Book Award-winning author of Year of the Monkey, Just Kids, and M Train offers a rare, intimate account of her own creative process. A work of creative brilliance may seem like magic—its source a mystery, its impact unexpectedly stirring. How does an artist accomplish such an achievement, connecting deeply with an audience never met? In this groundbreaking book, one of our culture’s beloved artists offers a detailed account of her own creative process, inspirations, and unexpected connections. Patti Smith first presents an original and beautifully crafted tale of obsession—a young skater who lives for her art, a possessive collector who ruthlessly seeks his prize, a relationship forged of need both craven and exalted. She then takes us on a second journey, exploring the sources of her story. We travel through the South of France to Camus’s house, and visit the garden of the great publisher Gallimard where the ghosts of Mishima, Nabokov, and Genet mingle. Smith tracks down Simone Weil’s grave in a lonely cemetery, hours from London, and winds through the nameless Paris streets of Patrick Modiano’s novels. Whether writing in a café or a train, Smith generously opens her notebooks and lets us glimpse the alchemy of her art and craft in this arresting and original book on writing. The Why I Write series is based on the Windham-Campbell Lectures, delivered annually to commemorate the awarding of the Donald Windham-Sandy M. Campbell Literature Prizes at Yale University. Patti Smith is a writer, performer, and visual artist. Her memoir Just Kids received a National Book Award, and her recent book M Train is a critically acclaimed New York Times best-seller.

When Stevie Smith died in 1971 she was one of the twentieth-century s most popular poets; many of her poems have been widely anthologised, and Not Waving but Drowning remains one of the nation s favourite poems to this day.Satirical, mischievous, teasing, disarming, her characteristically lightning-fast changes in tone take readers from comedy to tragedy and back again, while her line drawings are by turns unsettling and beguiling. In this edition of her work, Smith scholar Will May collects together the illustrations and poems from her original published volumes for the first time, recording fascinating details about their provenance, and describing the various versions Smith presented both on stage and page. Including over 500 works from Smith s 35-year career, The Collected Poems and Drawings of Stevie Smith is the essential edition of modern poetry s most distinctive voice.Nobody heard him, the dead man,But still he lay moaning:I was much further out than you thoughtAnd not waving but drowning.- Not Waving but Drowning

A radiant new memoir from beloved artist and writer Patti Smith, author of the National Book Award Winner Just Kids.God whispers through a crease in the wallpaper, writes Patti Smith in this indelible account of her life as an artist. A post-Second World War childhood unfolds in a condemned housing complex described in Dickensian detail: consumptive children, vanishing neighbours, an infested rat house, and a beguiling book of Irish fairytales. We enter the child s world of the imagination where Smith, the captain of her loyal and beloved sibling army, vanquishes bullies, communes with the king of tortoises and searches for sacred silver pennies.The most intimate of Smith s memoirs, Bread of Angels takes us through her teenage years where the first glimmers of art and romance take hold. Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan emerge as creative heroes and role models as Patti starts to write poetry, then lyrics, merging both into the iconic songs and recordings such as Horses and Easter, Dancing Barefoot and Because the Night .She leaves it all behind to marry her one true love, Fred Sonic Smith, with whom she creates a life of devotion and adventure on a canal in St. Clair Shores, Michigan with ancient willows and fulsome pear trees. She builds a room of her own, furnished with a pillow of Moroccan silk, a Persian cup, inkwell and fountain pen. The couple spend nights in their landlocked Chris-Craft studying nautical maps and charting new adventures as they start their family.As Smith suffers profound losses, grief and gratitude are braided through years of caring for her children, rebuilding her life and, finally, writing again - the one constant in a life driven by artistic freedom and the power of the imagination to transform the mundane into the beautiful, the commonplace into the magical, and pain into hope. In the final pages, we meet Patti on the road again, the vagabond who travels to commune with herself, who lives to write and writes to live.

Nový titul zpěvačky, básnířky a spisovatelky Patti Smith, autorky slavné knihy Just Kids, je ojedinělým autobiografickým záznamem. Kontemplativní odyseu, která vznikala přibližně v letech 2011-2013, sama autorka nazvala automapou svého života . Příslovečný vlak vzpomínek M Train se dává do pohybu v malé kavárničce v Greenwich Village, kam Patti Smith každé ráno vyráží na šálek černé kávy. V prozaickém vyprávění se sen plynule mísí se skutečností a minulost s přítomností; Patti Smith zavádí čtenáře na místa, která drží v nejvyšší úctě: do Casa Azul, modrého domu malířky Fridy Kahlo v Mexiku, do Berlína na setkání obskurního společenství polárníků, do zchátralého domu na Rockaway Beach, který si autorka pořídí těsně před tím, než na východní pobřeží udeří ničivý hurikán Sandy; a k hrobům milovaných autorů, Jeana Geneta, Sylvie Plathové, Artura Rimbauda nebo Jukia Mišimy. Patti Smith v knize vykresluje mozaiku tvůrčích aspirací a inspirací. Textem se proplétají také vzpomínky na její život v Michiganu a autorka se poprvé dělí o bolest spojenou se ztrátou manžela, hudebníka Freda Sonica Smithe. Své putování po krajinách snových i skutečných ilustruje polaroidovými snímky. M Train je meditací o cestování, detektivních seriálech, literatuře a kávě, ale především intimní a hluboce působivou sondou do vnitřního světa jedné z nejvýznamnějších současných umělkyň.

Adam Smith is now widely regarded as the father of modern economics and the most influential economist who ever lived. But what he really thought, and what the implications of his ideas are, remain fiercely contested. Was he an eloquent advocate of capitalism and the freedom of the individual? Or a prime mover of market fundamentalism and an apologist for inequality and human selfishness? Or something else entirely? Jesse Norman s brilliantly conceived \book gives us not just Smith s economics, but his vastly wider intellectual project. Against the turbulent backdrop of Enlightenment Scotland, it lays out a succinct and highly engaging account of Smith s life and times, reviews his work as a whole and traces his influence over the past two centuries.But this book is not only a biography. It dispels the myths and debunks the caricatures that have grown up around Adam Smith. It explores Smith s ideas in detail, from ethics to law to economics and government, and the impact of those i

Following a run of New Year s concerts at San Francisco s legendary Fillmore, Patti Smith finds herself tramping the coast of Santa Cruz, about to embark on a year of solitary wandering. Unfettered by logic or time, she draws us into her private wonderland, with no design yet heeding signs, including a talking sign that looms above her, prodding and sparring like the Cheshire Cat. In February, a surreal lunar year begins, bringing with it unexpected turns, heightened mischief, and inescapable sorrow. In a stranger s words, Anything is possible: after all, it s the year of the monkey. For Patti Smith - inveterately curious, always exploring, tracking thoughts, writing the year evolves as one of reckoning with the changes in life s gyre: with loss, aging, and a dramatic shift in the political landscape of America.Smith melds the Western landscape with her own dreamscape. Taking us from Southern California to the Arizona desert; to a Kentucky farm as the amanuensis of a friend in crisis; to the hospital room of a valued mentor; and by turns to remembered and imagined places - this haunting memoir blends fact and fiction with poetic mastery. The unexpected happens; grief and disillusionment. But as Patti Smith heads toward a new decade in her own life, she offers this balm to the reader: her wisdom, wit, gimlet eye, and above all, a rugged hope of a better world.Riveting, elegant, often humorous, illustrated by Smith s signature Polaroids, Year of the Monkey is a moving and original work, a touchstone for our turbulent times.
