''I thought I had a pretty good sense of how colonialism shapes modern society, but Dr Davy has shown me that understanding these things is a lifetime''s work. In the absence of time to read everything, you could not ask for a more eloquent guide than this book. Essential'' - Sathnam SangheraAn eye-opening book about how societies are designed to support the status of those in power at the destructive expense of those without it. Read it and take responsibility.ECOLOGICAL OPPRESSIONIn 1958, China declared war on sparrows, destroying its own crops and contributing to the deaths of more than 10 million people.ECONOMIC OPPRESSIONIn the nineteenth century, the Shuar people of Ecuador were driven by economic necessity to procure shrunken heads for the Western curio market. The bloody wars that ensued nearly destroyed their society.EDUCATIONAL OPPRESSIONThere have been fifty-five prime ministers of Great Britain, of whom forty-eight have been privately educated, creating a society built by and for the privileged.These are just some of the stories in this remarkable book that illustrate the key factors that allow societies to create and sustain oppressive systems. Some are historical. Others have played out right before our eyes over the last decade. All are rooted in the systems in which we all participate.Together they represent the layers of systematic, often insidious oppression that make up the world today.

Neobyčejný život obyčejného muže - Paul Newman

Znovuobjevené paměti možná největší filmové hvězdy naší doby. Muže, kterého mnozí obdivovali, ale málokdo ho skutečně znal.„Tato kniha vznikla ze snahy vysvětlit vše mým dětem. Chci po sobě zanechat nějaký záznam, který uvede věci na pravou míru, naruší mýty, které kolem mě vznikly, zničí některé legendy a udrží piraně v uctivé vzdálenosti. Něco, co by s určitou přesností zaznamenalo dobu, kdy jsem byl na této planetě. Protože to, co existuje v záznamech teď, nemá vůbec nic společného s pravdou. To je vše, o co mi jde.“—Paul NewmanV roce 1986 se Paul Newman a jeho nejbližší přítel, scenárista Stewart Stern, pustili do ambiciózního projektu. Stern měl sestavit orální historii a požádat Newmanovu rodinu, přátele a ty, kteří s ním úzce spolupracovali, aby vyprávěli o hercově životě. Newman pak měl ve spolupráci se Sternem nabídnout svou verzi příběhu. Jedinou podmínkou bylo, že každý, kdo promluví na záznam, musí být naprosto upřímný. Stejná podmínka platila i pro samotného Newmana. Projekt trval pět let.Výsledkem jsou výjimečné paměti, které byly vybrány z tisíců stran přepisů, jež byly teprve nedávno znovu objeveny. Newmanův hlas je někdy vtipný, někdy bolestný, vždy však především pravdivý. Další hlasy, které se v knize objevují – přátelé z dětství a kamarádi z námořnictva, rodinní příslušníci a filmoví a divadelní spolupracovníci jako Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt a John Huston – dodávají příběhu, který Newman vypráví, bohatost, barvy a souvislosti.Paul Newman podrobně líčí své často traumatické dětství, nejistotu v dospívání, mladické neúspěchy u žen, vzestup ke slávě, své první soupeře (Marlona Branda a Jamese Deana), první manželství, své pití, dobročinnost, smrt syna Scotta a touhu, aby jeho dcery pochopily pravdu o svém otci. Snad nejdojemnější materiál v knize se soustředí na jeho vztah s Joanne Woodwardovou – jejich hlubokou vzájemnou lásku, způsob, jakým ho formovala po intelektuální, emocionální a smyslové stránce, a jeho trvalou závislost na ní.PAUL NEWMAN byl herec, filmový režisér, automobilový závodník a podnikatel. Byl desetkrát nominován na Oscara a tuto cenu získal za nejlepší mužský herecký výkon ve filmu Barva peněz. Byl také držitelem mnoha dalších ocenění, včetně ceny BAFTA, tří Zlatých glóbů, ceny Sdružení filmových a televizních herců, ceny Emmy, ceny Cecila B. de Millea a humanitární ceny Jeana Hersholta. Mezi jeho filmy patří například Biliárový král, Hud, Harper, Frajer Luke, Butch Cassidy a Sundance Kid, Podraz, Rozsudek, Pan a paní Bridgeovi, Nejsem blázen, Cesta do zatracení a Auta studia Pixar, kde namluvil hlas Doca Hudsona. Jako automobilový závodník Newman vyhrál několik národních šampionátů. Jako politický aktivista a humanitární pracovník shromáždil a daroval téměř 1 miliardu dolarů mnoha charitativním organizacím. Paul Newman měl šest dětí a byl padesát let ženatý s oscarovou herečkou Joanne Woodwardovou. Zemřel v roce 2008 ve věku třiaosmdesáti let.

The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man - Paul Newman

In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman’s family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor’s life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years. The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman’s voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voices—from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston—that run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling. Newman’s often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Marlon Brando and James Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his son Scott, his strong desire for his daughters to know and understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most moving material in the book centers around his relationship with Joanne Woodward—their love for each other, his dependence on her, the way she shaped him intellectually, emotionally and sexually. The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man is revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in some places, always complex and profound.

Barnett Newman - Amy Newman

The definitive biography of a transformational American artist and the city that shaped himBarnett Newman (1905–1970), a founding member of the abstract expressionist movement, was a contemporary of such figures as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. He left behind only 118 finished paintings, six sculptures, and 83 acknowledged drawings, yet is often regarded as the greatest painter to have emerged after the Second World War. Barnett Newman is the definitive biography of a charismatic New Yorker who defied the rules and created an art of the sublime. This landmark book features original research conducted over decades, using scores of interviews, oral histories, and previously unseen correspondence to paint a richly textured portrait of a creative sage who became an exemplar of the artist-citizen. Born in New York to Polish Jewish immigrant parents, he grandly aspired to involve himself in every detail of the city’s life. He was a crusader for the civil service, ran against La Guardia for mayor, worked as a teacher, wrote poetry, criticism, and manifestos, produced political plays, and promoted other artists—all before painting a mature work of his own in his early forties. Newman began with none of the qualities once considered indispensable for a master artist, such as training, apprenticeship, or natural facility. But he possessed a galvanizing intellect and a conviction that aesthetic expression is an ecstatic declaration of existence and an assertion of human dignity. Drawing on previously unpublished sources gleaned from full access to Newman’s archives, Amy Newman presents a portrait of a maverick whose works are among the most enduring of the twentieth century and whose influence continues to this day.

Neobyčajný život obyčajného muža - Paul Newman

Paul Newman vo svojich memoároch úprimne opisuje celý svoj život: traumatické detstvo, kariéru, pitie, spomienky na Marlona Brandona, Jamesa Deana, Elizabeth Taylorovú, Johna Hustona, ale aj svoje najväčšie herecké roly, intímny život s Joanne Woodwardovou či svoje najvnútornejšie obavy, vášne a radosti. V roku 1986 sa Paul Newman a jeho najbližší priateľ, scenárista Stewart Stern, pustili do výnimočného projektu. Stewart mal zostaviť jeho pamäti. Predstava bola taká, že Newmanova rodina, priatelia a tí, ktorí s ním úzko spolupracovali, podajú svoju výpoveď o hercovom živote. A následne bude Paul Newman spolupracovať so Stewartom a podá svoju verziu príbehu. Jedinou podmienkou bolo, že každý, kto sa zúčastní na nahrávaní, musí byť maximálne úprimný. Rovnaká podmienka platila aj pre samotného Newmana. Projekt trval päť rokov a výsledkom sú neobyčajné memoáre, zostavené z tisícov strán prepisov. Newmanovo rozprávanie je silné, niekedy vtipné, inokedy bolestné, vždy však hlboko úprimné. Rozprávania priateľov z detstva a kamarátov z námorníctva, rodinných príslušníkov a filmových a divadelných spolupracovníkov, ako sú Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt a John Huston, ktoré sa objavujú v celom texte, dodávajú Newmanovmu príbehu bohatosť, farebnosť a zaujímavú rôznorodosť.

Underground Empire - Henry Farrell, Abraham Newman

An explosive new vision of geopolitics from two trail-blazing political scientistsDeep beneath our feet, vast and sprawling, lies one of the most sophisticated empires the world has ever known. At first glance, it might not look like much - it is made up of fibre optic cables and obscure payment systems. But according to prominent political scientists Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman, the United States has turned the most vital pathways of the world economy into tools of domination over foreign businesses and countries, whether they are rivals or allies, allowing it to maintain global supremacy.Drawing on original reporting and ground-breaking research, Farrell and Newman explain how this underground empire has allowed the United States to eavesdrop on other countries and isolate its enemies. Now, efforts by countries such as China and Russia to untether themselves from this coercive US-led system are turning the global economy into a battle zone. Today's headlines about trade wars, sanctions, and controls on technology exports are merely tremors hinting at far greater seismic shifts beneath the surface, as we sleepwalk into a dangerous new struggle for empire.Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how power is wielded today, Underground Empire weaves together tales of economic conflict, shadowy surveillance and covert infrastructure projects to explain how the world order has been brought to the brink of chaos - and how we might find a way back from the edge.

Socialism - Michael Newman

What is socialism? Does it have a future, or has it become an outdated ideology in the 21st century?This Very Short Introduction considers the major theories in socialism, and explores its historical evolution from the French Revolution to the present day. Michael Newman argues that socialism has always been a diverse doctrine, while nevertheless containing a central core of interconnected values and goals: a critique of capitalism; an optimistic view of human beings; and the belief that it is possible to establish societies based on egalitarianism, social solidarity, and co-operation. In this new edition, he draws on case studies such as Cuba, Sweden, and Bolivia, to consider attempts to implement socialism in practice, before discussing New Left challenges to conventional notions of socialism on such questions as feminism, climate change, and direct action. Rejecting the widespread view that socialism is an out-dated doctrine, Newman argues that it remains ultimately relevant in today''s world. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books ar the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Bloody Brilliant Women - Cathy Newman

‘A litany of fresh heroes to make the embattled heart sing’ Caitlin Moran‘Newman is a brilliant writer’ ObserverA fresh, opinionated history of all the brilliant women you should have learned about in school but didn’t.For hundreds of years we have heard about the great men of history, but what about herstory?In this freewheeling history of modern Britain, Cathy Newman writes about the pioneering women who defied the odds to make careers for themselves and alter the course of modern history; women who achieved what they achieved while dismantling hostile, entrenched views about their place in society. Their role in transforming Britain is fundamental, far greater than has generally been acknowledged, and not just in the arts or education but in fields like medicine, politics, law, engineering and the military.While a few of the women in this book are now household names, many have faded into oblivion, their personal and collective achievements mere footnotes in history. We know of Emmeline Pankhurst, Vera Brittain, Marie Stopes and Beatrice Webb. But who remembers engineer and motorbike racer Beatrice Shilling, whose ingenious device for the Spitfires’ Rolls-Royce Merlin fixed an often-fatal flaw, allowing the RAF’s planes to beat the German in the Battle of Britain? Or Dorothy Lawrence, the journalist who achieved her ambition to become a WW1 correspondent by pretending to be a man? And developmental biologist Anne McLaren, whose work in genetics paved the way for in vitro fertilisation?Blending meticulous research with information gleaned from memoirs, diaries, letters, novels and other secondary sources, Bloody Brilliant Women uses the stories of some extraordinary lives to tell the tale of 20th and 21st century Britain. It is a history for women and men. A history for our times.

Kamenné kruhy - Hugh Newman

Kamenné kruhy evokují zaniklý svět druidských astronomů. Pro archeology i amatérské nadšence je účel těchto staveb už dlouho předmětem dohadů. Nejproslulejším z kruhů je Stonehenge v Anglii, expert na megality Hugh Newman však ukazuje, že tyto úžasné architektonické památky můžeme najít po celém světě - v Evropě, v Africe, Asii i na americkém kontinentu. V tomto jedinečném průvodci po kamenných kruzích autor zkoumá, jak byly vytvořeny, co pro lidi své doby znamenaly a jak je jejich konstrukce sladěna s krajinou, Sluncem, Měsícem a hvězdami. Je to nepostradatelná knížka o úchvatné starobylé architektuře.

Gödelův důkaz - Nagel Ernest, Newman Roy James

V knize Gödelův důkaz nabízejí Ernest Nagel a James R. Newman čtivý a speciální symboliky prostý výklad hlavních myšlenek a důsledků Gödelova objevu. Kniha byla poprvé publikována v roce 1958, a od té doby je znovu a znovu vydávána – čeština je jedenáctým jazykem, do něhož byla přeložena. Nagelova a Newmanova populární a vlivná práce nabízí vzdělanému čtenáři se zájmem o matematiku, logiku a filozofii příležitost porozumět důkazu jinak obtížnému a nepřístupnému. V posledním vydání tuto dnes již klasickou práci přehlédl a aktualizoval nositel Pulitzerovy ceny Douglas R. Hofstadter. Odstranil víceznačnosti, vyjasnil argumenty a text učinil ještě přístupnějším. Připojil úvod, kde odhaluje svůj vztah k této knížce a vliv, jaký měla na jeho odborný růst, vysvětluje podstatu Gödelova důkazu a ukazuje, jak a proč je tento důkaz dodnes důležitý. Aktuální vydání je nově rozšířeno o doslov Alexandra Meduny (FIT VUT) s názvem "Brněnský rodák Kurt Gödel a jeho odkaz". Kniha je určena studentům, vědcům, učitelům, jakož i odborníkům na matematiku, kybernetiku, logiku, filozofii a přírodní vědy.

Tento soubor přednášek a esejů vznikl v době, kdy J. H. Newman spoluzakládal Irskou katolickou univerzitu (1851) a posléze se stal jejím prvním rektorem. Autor v nich výmluvně hájí ucelené vysokoškolské vzdělání zahrnující humanitní a přírodní vědy i filozofii a teologii. Newmanovy pronikavé a brilantně formulované úvahy mají v anglosaském světě dodnes značný vliv a nejednou se ostře protnou se současnými diskusemi o roli vysokých škol ve společnosti, o významu všeobecného vzdělání nebo o vztahu víry a rozumu - jak se mj. dočteme v zasvěceném úvodu.

Tripping the Trail of Ghosts - P. D. Newman

Exploring psychedelic spiritual practices and afterlife beliefs among the Mississippi mound cultures• Examines the Path of Souls or Trail of Ghosts, a Native American model for the after-death journey• Demonstrates how psychoactive plants were used to evoke the liminal state between life and death in initiatory rites and spirit journeys• Explores the symbology of the large earthwork mounds erected by the Indigenous people of the Mississippi Valley and how they connect to the Path of SoulsThe use of hallucinogenic substances like peyote and desert tobacco has long played a significant role in the spiritual practices and traditions of Native Americans. While the majority of those practices are well documented, the relationship between entheogens and Native Americans of the Southeast has gone largely unexplored.Examining the role of psychoactive plants in afterlife traditions, sacred rituals, and spirit journeying by shamans of the Mississippian mound cultures, P. D. Newman explores in depth the Native American death journey known as the "Trail of Ghosts" or "Path of Souls." He demonstrates how practices such as fasting and trancework when used with psychedelic plants like jimsonweed, black nightshade, morning glory, and amanita and psilocybin mushrooms could evoke the liminal state between life and death in initiatory rites and spirit journeys for shamans and chiefs. He explores the earthwork and platform mounds built by Indigenous cultures of the Mississippi Valley, showing how they quite likely served as early models for the Path of Souls. He also explores similarities between the Ghost Trail afterlife journey and the well-known Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead.

The Beautiful Brain - Alfonso Araque, Larry Swanson, Eric Newman

At the crossroads of art and science, The Beautiful Brain presents Nobel Laureate Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s contributions to neuroscience through his groundbreaking artistic brain imagery. “Among the world’s greatest scientific illustrations. . . . They posit the thing between your ears as an immense cosmic universe, or at least one of the most intricate of all of nature’s creations. That the images are also undeniable as art only adds to the complexity.” —New York Times Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852–1934) was the father of modern neuroscience and an exceptional artist. He devoted his life to the anatomy of the brain, the body’s most complex and mysterious organ. His superhuman feats of visualization, based on fanatically precise techniques and countless hours at the microscope, resulted in some of the most remarkable illustrations in the history of science. This selection of Cajal’s exquisite drawings of brain cells, brain regions, and neural circuits features accessible descriptive commentary, explored in the text from multiple perspectives: Larry W. Swanson describes Cajal’s contributions to neuroscienceLyndel King and Eric Himmel explore his artistic roots and achievementEric A. Newman provides commentary on the drawingsJanet M. Dubinsky describes contemporary neuroscience imaging techniques This book is the companion to the traveling exhibition that marked the first time that many of these works, which are housed at the Instituto Cajal in Madrid, have been seen outside of Spain. In addition to showcasing Cajal’s contributions to neuroscience and exploring his artistic roots and achievement, The Beautiful Brain looks at his work in relation to contemporary neuroscience imaging, appealing to general readers and professionals alike.

Billie Eilish - Terry Newman

Billie Eilish is a fashion phenomenon. Her goth-skate-anime wardrobe resonates loud and clear with her generation and anyone who doesn’t want to be defined. Courted by the world’s biggest fashion houses, Billie has a way of spotlighting inclusivity, body image, environmental issues and more, while always looking awesome. In the latest addition to this popular series, fashion writer Terry Newman casts her eye over a young megastar with oversized clothes and an even bigger attitude.When Billie Eilish burst onto the music scene aged just 14, her outfits told everyone who she was before they’d downloaded a track. She was savage and brooding. Her clothes were large and matched her attitude. Her wardrobe was made up of labels that speak the language of Gen Z and everyone who doesn’t want to be defined by others. Growing up hasn’t changed a thing – though she now has the command of fashion houses the world over. As such, Billie often mixes and matches Chanel, Balenciaga, Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons and Prada with finds from Slumpy Kev, Skoot, The Incorporated and Freak City, and the result is beyond the realms of meta-modernism. It’s a look that might very well bite the hand that feeds it, but Eilish doesn’t care. She wears what she likes when she likes. And we’re here for it.
