Desert by Design celebrates the interior worlds that exist in Earth’s most arid climes and, more importantly, the creative minds who inhabit them Marfa, Texas-based desert dwellers Molly Mandell and James Burke traveled the world to explore and photograph thirty incredible spaces. They made their way through the southwestern United States, to Mexico and Argentina, and to Morocco, Jordan, the Canary Islands, Rajasthan India, and even a micro-desert in New Zealand. They visited high desert and low desert, urban desert and rural desert, sandy desert and scrubby desert. They photographed everything from iconic properties inhabited by Yves Saint Laurent, César Manrique, and Donald Judd to thoughtfully curated, centuries-old adobe structures and modern, groundbreaking ones, all the while interviewing the choreographers, hoteliers, sculptors, environmentalists, chefs, audio engineers, and preservationists who bring them to life. This gorgeous coffee table book is an ode to these landscapes—their sounds, smells, flora, and fauna—filled with equal parts mystery and beauty and a glimpse into the projects and lives of those who have chosen to call them home.Desert by Design—its genuine, beautiful, and unexpected approach—is not your average interiors book. From tips for cultivating the intimate and unpretentious environment that is synonymous with the desert to images that evoke mindful living, it is both an homage to this unique and dynamic climate—its most extraordinary places and memorable personalities—and a manual for adopting elements of this lifestyle, no matter our location. Yes, this publication is for desert people, those who reside in it or who simply resonate with it. But it likewise exists for all of us who are seeking authentic design inspiration or courage to take the path less traveled, regardless of where we hang our hats. Deserts are known to be sensitive ecosystems where adaptability and resilience become common currency, requiring humans to live within the environment rather than apart from it. The result is a people who are inspired by challenge and who constantly create and innovate.

A novel set in Civil War-era Louisiana, as the South transforms and a brilliant cast of characters-enslaved and free women, plantation gentry, and battle-weary Confederate and Union soldiers-are caught in the maelstrom.In the fall of 1863, the Union Army is in control of the Mississippi River and much of Louisiana, including New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The retreating Confederate army is being replaced by Red Legs, irregulars commanded by a maniacal figure, and enslaved men and women are beginning to glimpse freedom.When Hannah Laveau, an enslaved woman working on the Lufkin plantation, is accused of murder, she goes on the run with Florence Milton, an abolitionist schoolteacher, dodging the local constable and the slavecatchers that prowl the bayous.Wade Lufkin, haunted by what he observed-and did-as a surgeon on the battlefield, has returned to his uncle s plantation to convalesce, where he becomes enraptured by Hannah.James Lee Burke, whose evocative prose remains a thing of reliably fierce wonder (Entertainment Weekly), expertly renders the rich Louisiana landscape, from the sunsets on the Mississippi River to the dingy saloons of New Orleans to the tree-lined shores of the bayou and the cottonmouth snakes that dwell in its depths. Powerful and deeply moving, Flags on the Bayou is a story of tragic acts of war, class divisions upended, and love enduring through it all.

The subject of “design thinking” is the rage at business schools, throughout corporations, and increasingly in the popular press—due in large part to the work of IDEO, a leading design firm, and its celebrated CEO, Tim Brown, who uses this book to show how the techniques and strategies of design belong at every level of business.The myth of innovation is that brilliant ideas leap fully formed from the minds of geniuses. The reality is that most innovations come from a process of rigorous examination through which great ideas are identified and developed before being realized as new offerings and capabilities. Change by Design explains design thinking, the collaborative process by which the designer’s sensibilities and methods are employed to match people’s needs, not only with what is technically feasible, but what is viable to the bottom line. Design thinking converts need into demand. It’s a human-centered approach to problem solving that helps people and organizations become more innovative and more creative. Introduced a decade ago, the concept of design thinking remains popular at business schools, throughout corporations, and increasingly in the popular press—due in large part to work of IDEO, the undisputed world leading strategy, innovation, and design firm headed by Tim Brown. As he makes clear in this visionary guide—now updated with addition material, including new case studies, and a new introduction—design thinking is not just applicable to so-called creative industries or people who work in the design field. It’s a methodology that has been used by organizations such as Kaiser Permanente, to increase the quality of patient care by re-examining the ways that their nurses manage shift change, or Kraft, to rethink supply chain management. Change by Design is not a book by designers for designers; it is a book for creative leaders seeking to infuse design thinking into every level of an organization, product, or service to drive new alternatives for business and society.

London Underground By Design is the beautifully illustrated new book from Mark Ovenden, the acclaimed author of Great Railway Maps of the World, published to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the Tube in 2013.Since its establishment 150 years ago as the world s first urban subway, the London Underground has continuously set a benchmark for design that has influenced transit systems from New York to Tokyo, Moscow to Paris and beyond. London Underground by Design is the first meticulous study of every aspect of that feat, a comprehensive history of one of the world s most celebrated design achievements, and of the visionaries who brought it to life.Beginning in the pioneering Victorian age, Mark Ovenden charts the evolution of architecture, branding, typeface, map design, interior and textile styles, posters, signage and graphic design and how these came together to shape not just the Underground s identity, but the character of London itself. This is the story of celebrated designers - from Frank Pick, the guru who conceptualised the modern Tube s look under the design fit for purpose mantra, to Harry Beck, Tube diagram creator, and from Marion Dorn, one of the twentieth century s leading textile designers, to Edward Johnston, creator of the distinctive font that bears his name, as well as Leslie Green, designer of central London s distinctive ruby-red tiled stations, and the Design Research Unit s head, Misha Black, who in the 1960s rebranded British Railways and created the Victoria line s distinctive style, and Sir Norman Foster, architect of Canary Wharf station. Fascinating ... authoritative ... bristles with photographs I ve never seen before ... the book does ample justice to a network that - overcrowded and overpriced - is a glorious palimpsest of design Andrew Martin, Observer I wouldn t ordinarily enthuse about one book at such length, but this is an important work...not because it s an entertaining read (it is), but because it identifies the birth of a brand...and records the birth of a new idea - the transport interchange Kevin McCloud, Grand Designs Magazine Mark Ovenden has devotedly documented the designs associated with [the Underground] ... addictive for anyone interested in the look of everyday life Telegraph This beautifully illustrated history is a worth tribute [to 150 years of design] Shortlist A wonderful, handsome book ... it makes me want to nerd out, get a travel card and whiz out to the strange ends of Metroland or the UFO shape of Southgate station Robert Bownes/Andrew Tuck, Monocle Weekly (Radio programme)Mark Ovenden is a British writer and broadcaster.

Buď budeme odevzdaně čekat na nevyhnutelnou tragédii, nebo se pokusíme převzít řízení, nebo z vozu vyskočíme. Jiné možnosti nemáme.

How Might We Obtain Everlasting Life?Although Protestants ought to have a ready answer about faith in Jesus Christ, the reasons explaining that answer run much deeper and relate to our status as God⠙s image bearers.  Important historical issues inform how we understand the precise relationship of work and grace. Throughout much of the medieval period and into modern Roman Catholicism, many believed that because original righteousness was superadded to our nature, personal righteousness could be restored by grace after the fall, allowing us to merit everlasting life by our own works. By contrast, the Reformation tradition has held that sin has damaged our nature so thoroughly that we could never merit salvation and must receive everlasting life by grace alone.  Righteous by Design is, on one hand, a thorough historical investigation of medieval and counter⠓Reformation theology,exploring sources that have seldomly if at all been treated in Reformed literature. At the same time, it is also a theological case that original righteousness was natural to Adam before the Fall and that Adamcould have merited everlasting life according to the covenant of works. The payoff of this effort in theological retrieval is to underscore the majesty of grace in that sinners are right with God only on the basis of Christ⠙smerits. Thus, this book mounts a case for the Protestant law⠓gospel distinction through the lens of the imago Dei to highlight the sufficiency of Christ and his work.

Máte někdy pocit, že jste se ocitli na prahu beznaděje a prázdnoty? Nic se vám nedaří, nic nefunguje a lidé kolem, místo aby vám pomohli dostat se z vašeho podivného stavu, se vám snaží házet ještě spíše klacky pod nohy? Není leckdy snadné zastavit se a najít rychle cestu, která by vás dovedla znovu k pohodě a stavu vyrovnanosti, avšak přece jen něco existuje. Jsou to meditace a relaxace. Meditace je zastavení v tichu a radost z vlastního bytí. V překladu meditace znamená též přemýšlení, uvažování či hloubání. Nějak jsme v naší uspěchané době zapomněli zahloubat se, popřemýšlet o problému, nutíme se jen k rychlým nerozvážným rozhodnutím, kterých později litujeme. Ta však někdy mohou změnit celý náš život a zavedou nás na cestu,kterou jsme vlastně ani jít nechtěli. Nabízím Vám několik malých zastavení v každodenním uspěchaném životě, několik meditací a relaxací, které vás dokážou uvolnit, potěšit, odpoutat od všedních celodenních starostí. Pomohou vyčistit vaši mysl a dovolí vám na chvilku myslet jen na miniaturní zážitky, letmé okamžiky, detail. Tím, že se na chvilku přenesete do úplně jiného světa, než je vaše kancelář, šatna, dům nebo auto, zapomenete na svůj problém a necháte se hýčkat silou okamžiku, ve kterém se například ocitnete v jeskyni plné zlata nebo na mořské pláži...

Estetika, pojímaná jako obor kultivující vkus, mírnící vášně a upevňující mravnost, se stala důležitou součástí osvícenského programu rakouské státní výchovy (Nationalerziehung). Za císaře Josefa II. byla určena jako povinný předmět pro všechny posluchače třetího ročníku rakouských filozofických fakult. Přes zjevnou nobilitaci zároveň zůstala trvale vystavena útokům ze strany jak pragmatiků, požadujících od vzdělání přípravu na výkon praktických povolání, tak konzervativních kruhů a přírodovědců. Tato první monografie o počátcích pražské univerzitní estetiky zkoumá na základě archivních pramenů přednášky Carla Heinricha Seibta (1735-1806) a Augusta Gottlieba Meißnera (1753-1807) jako součást dějin evropské estetiky 18. století, zejména německé; zkoumá vznik stolice krásných věd (posléze přejmenované na stolici estetiky) jako jedné z nových kateder vzniklých na univerzitách rakouské monarchie v rámci tereziánských a josefínských reforem a zkoumá místo pražské univerzitní estetiky v české kulturní tradici chápané co možná nejvíce široce, nejen úzce jazykově česky.

The Penguin English Library Edition of Daisy Miller and The Turn of the Screw by Henry James I m a fearful, frightful flirt! Did you ever hear of a nice girl that was not? This edition contains two of Henry James s most popular short works. Travelling in Europe with her family, Daisy Miller, an exquisitely beautiful young American woman, presents her fellow-countryman Winterbourne with a dilemma he cannot resolve. Is she deliberately flouting social convention in the outspoken way she talks and acts, or is she simply ignorant of those conventions? In Daisy Miller Henry James created his first great portrait of the enigmatic and dangerously independent American woman, a figure who would come to dominate his later masterpieces.Oscar Wilde called James s chilling The Turn of the Screw a most wonderful, lurid poisonous little tale . It tells of a young governess sent to a country house to take charge of two orphans, Miles and Flora. Unsettled by a sense of intense evil within the houses, she soon becomes obsessed with the belief that malevolent forces are stalking the children in her care.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

The Birthplace is a short story by Henry James that was first released in 1903 in his anthology. The tale shows James s doubts regarding Shakespeare s authorship and is a sharp satire on the excesses of bardolatry. The story also depicts a characteristically imaginative Jamesian protagonist creating another reality in his presentation on Bard s purported childhood activities, which goes beyond the specific scholarly topic. Morris Gedge receives a favorable offer to take on the role of custodian of Stratford-on-Shakespeare Avon s residence. James twice used Shakespeare s name in his notebooks as he was drafting the novel, so even though his name is not mentioned in the story, to Whom the highest Mecca of the English-speaking people is dedicated is obvious. After being appointed the custodian, Morris starts to question the explanations he is made to provide to visitors. He begins to qualify and fumble through his speech. His wife is distressed by this, and the owners of the temple issue a warning. He gives a funny lecture about how Shakespeare the child played around the house in the story s concluding scene. Of course, tourist revenue grows and Gedge gets paid more.
