The incredible story of Benjamin Franklin’s parting gift to the working-class people of Boston and Philadelphia—a deathbed wager that captures the Founder’s American Dream and his lessons for our current, conflicted age.Benjamin Franklin was not a gambling man. But at the end of his illustrious life, the Founder allowed himself a final wager on the survival of the United States: a gift of two thousand pounds to Boston and Philadelphia, to be lent out to tradesmen over the next two centuries to jump-start their careers. Each loan would be repaid with interest over ten years. If all went according to Franklin’s inventive scheme, the accrued final payout in 1991 would be a windfall. In Benjamin Franklin’s Last Bet, Michael Meyer traces the evolution of these twin funds as they age alongside America itself, bankrolling woodworkers and silversmiths, trade schools and space races. Over time, Franklin’s wager was misused, neglected, and contested—but never wholly extinguished. With charm and inquisitive flair, Meyer shows how Franklin’s stake in the “leather-apron” class remains in play to this day, and offers an inspiring blueprint for prosperity in our modern era of growing wealth disparity and social divisions.

Benjamin Franklin''s writings represent a long career of literary, scientific, and political efforts over a lifetime which extended nearly the entire eighteenth century. Franklin''s achievements range from inventing the lightning rod to publishing Poor Richard''s Almanack to signing the Declaration of Independence. In his own lifetime he knew prominence not only in America but in Britain and France as well. This volume includes Franklin''s reflections on such diverse questions as philosophy and religion, social status, electricity, American national characteristics, war, and the status of women. Nearly sixty years separate the earliest writings from the latest, an interval during which Franklin was continually balancing between the puritan values of his upbringing and the modern American world to which his career served as prologue. This edition provides a new text of the Autobiography, established with close reference to Franklin''s original manuscript. It also includes a new transcription of the 1726 journal, and several pieces which have recently been identified as Franklin''s own work. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Eric Franklin’s classic reference is back in a new full-color edition, complete with new material and exercises for instructors to use with their dancers, other performing artists, athletes, and classes.In Dynamic Alignment Through Imagery, Third Edition, Franklin-an internationally renowned teacher, dancer, and choreographer who has been sharing his imagery techniques for more than 35 years-teaches the use of imagery to increase self-awareness, improve body image, and apply anatomical and biomechanical principles for more efficient movement.This expanded new edition includesmore than 600 anatomical imagery exercises to improve posture and body alignment, release excess tension, and prevent injuries;over 500 full-color illustrations to help readers visualize the exercises and use them in various contexts;four audio files containing guided imagery exercises led by Franklin and set to music; andupdated chapters throughout the book, including new material and exercises to address fasciae and connective tissue.“The pictures and the words in your mind influence the feelings in your body, which in turn feed your thoughts and mental pictures,” Franklin says. “To create powerful and dynamic alignment, you need to fertilize your mind and body with constructive information and weed out destructive thoughts.”This book will help readers do just that as they discover their natural flexibility and increase their power to move. Franklin expertly guides readers through foundational concepts of posture, dynamic alignment, and imagery; explores different types of imagery and guidelines for using them; and delves into biomechanical and anatomical principles, including the body’s center and gravity, the laws of motion and force systems, and joint and muscle function. He then provides exercises for anatomical imagery, covering every area of the body from head to toe. The book closes with two critical chapters on defining dynamic alignment and on integrating dynamic alignment exercises into workouts and programs.Dynamic Alignment Through Imagery, Third Edition, will help readers experience the biomechanical and anatomical principles that are crucial to athletes, dancers, other performing artists, and yoga and Pilates practitioners.

During his 84-year life Benjamin Franklin was America's best scientist, inventor, publisher, business strategist, diplomat, and writer. He was also one of its most practical political thinkers. America's first great publicist, he carefully crafted his own persona, portrayed it in public and polished it for posterity.In this riveting new biography Walter Isaacson provides readers with a full portrait of Franklin's public and private life - his loyal but neglected wife, his bastard son with whom he broke over going to war with England, his endless replacement families and his many amorous, but probably unconsummated, liaisons. But this is not just a biography of Benjamin Franklin but rather a fascinating look at American and European political history at that time. Isaacson examines the run up to the Revolutionary War, the intimate relations between Britain, France and the colonies and the decisive events that led to America's independence.Just as David McCullough brought life to the historic figure of John Adams, Isaacson portrays Franklin in the flesh, showing readers how this radical man helped define America's national character and personality.

During the mid-1980s, a brutal killing spree began in Los Angeles as several women were murdered, having been sexually assaulted and shot in the chest with a .25 calibre gun. The man responsible was Lonnie David Franklin Jr. However, his identity wouldn't be revealed for almost thirty years, by which time he had become one of America's most prolific serial killers. At the time, Los Angeles was a city struggling under the weight of racial inequalities and a crack cocaine epidemic that was sweeping through its most deprived areas. Many in the communities of South Central felt that this caused a lack of interest on the part of the LAPD in properly investigating the these murders. In 2010, Franklin's escape from justice finally came to an end, and he was eventually convicted of the killings of nine women and one teenage girl in 2016, although it is suspected that he could be responsible for killing many, many more. In this book, investigative journalist Victoria Redstall delves into the mind of America's most notorious serial killer to discover the truth, in his own words, behind his appalling actions as well as speaking to neighbours, family members, victims' family members and police connected to the case. By visiting Franklin in prison and gaining his trust, she allows Franklin to reveal a terrifying lack of empathy for the victims whose lives he so brutally ended. This is a chilling and fascinating look into the crimes of the Grim Sleeper.

Tato kniha je výsledkem série přednášek, kterou měl autor v letním semestru roku 1966 na Jižní metodistické univerzitě v texaském Dallasu. Ústředním pojmem přednášek je logoterapie – psychoterapie zaměřená na hledání smyslu lidského života. Frankl zde zdůrazňuje systematickou povahu logoterapie, která předpokládá svobodu vůle, vůli ke smyslu a smysl života. Zaměřuje se na konkrétní logoterapeutické techniky a také na aplikační oblasti logoterapie, jež léčí různé typy neuróz. Logoterapie je kladena do kontextu jiných psychoterapeutických škol a závěrečná kapitola knihy se věnuje i jejímu vztahu k teologii. Viktor E. Frankl (1905–1997) byl profesorem neurologie a psychiatrie na Vídeňské univerzitě a profesorem logoterapie na United States International University v Kalifornii a dalších amerických univerzitách. Je tvůrcem tzv. logoterapie a existenciální analýzy jakožto „třetího vídeňského směru psychoterapie“, který se zaměřuje na hledání smyslu v lidském životě. Ve svých knihách Frankl mj. využil své zkušenosti vězně nacistických koncentračních táborů. V Portále vyšly jeho knihy Utrpení z nesmyslnosti života a Teorie a terapie neuróz. Pozor! Kniha Léčba smyslem, vydaná původně anglicky jako The Will to Meaning (1988), vychází česky poprvé. Dříve vydaná Franklova kniha Vůle ke smyslu, původně vydaná německy pod názvem Der Wille zum Sinn (1972), je sice taky přepisem různých přednášek (z let 1946-1971), jedná se však o jinou knihu!

Profesor Frankl, ktorý sa krátko nato stal známymna celom svete, v nich vysvetlil svoje ústredné myšlienky o zmysle,odolnosti a dôležitosti prijatia života – aj napriek veľmi nepriaznivýmudalostiam. Franklove slová silno rezonujú aj v súčasnosti, keď svet čelíčoraz vážnejším klimatickým a ekologickým hrozbám, prehlbujúcej sasociálnej aj názorovej nerovnosti a veľkej ekonomickej neistote.Autor ponúka zaujímavý pohľad na odporúčanie „žite tak, akobyste dostali druhú šancu“ a odhaľuje svoje základné presvedčenie, žekaždá kríza v sebe zahŕňa príležitosť. Napriek nevýslovným hrôzamkoncentračných táborov Frankl pozorovaním sily svojich spoluväzňovzistil, že vždy je možné „povedať životu áno“. Toto poznanie je hlbokáa nadčasová lekcia pre nás všetkých.

Vůle ke smyslu představuje autorský výbor z Franklových přednášek, které měl mezi lety 1946 a 1980. Jejich základní téma je následující: Člověk je tvor hledající smysl (logos) a poskytnout člověku pomoc v jeho hledání je jedním z úkolů psychoterapie – a to především Franklem koncipované logoterapie. Výbor doplňuje příspěvek Franklovy žačky Elisabeth S. Lukasové o validizaci účinků logoterapie a Logo-test k měření životní smysluplnosti a jejího opaku – existenciální frustrace. Jedná se o jednu z nejznámějších Fraklových knih, která byla v tomto vydání obohacena o stať „Alpinismus a patologie ducha doby“. Viktor E.

Kniha obsahuje přednášky z let 1957–1975, v nichž se jako červená nit táhne otázka člověka po smyslu života. Viktor Frankl je přesvědčen, že utrpení z pocitu hluboké nesmyslnosti a ochromující prázdnoty života je specifickou nemocí naší doby. Vytvořil proto terapeutickou koncepci, s jejíž pomocí toto existenciální vakuum úspěšně léčil. V této knize dává nahlédnout do svého myšlení i praxe a na mnoha příkladech ukazuje, jak se dá utrpení z nesmyslnosti života léčit. „Názory, které profesor Frankl zastává v této a dalších svých knihách, znamenají nejdůležitější přínos pro obor psychoterapie od časů Freuda, Adlera a Junga. A jeho styl je mnohem čtivější.“ (Sir Cyril Burt, předseda British Psychological Society). „Tento svazek je tak zhuštěný, tak prodchnutý žhoucím humanismem, tak bohatý na dokumentaci a jeho kritické postoje jsou tak uvážlivé, že zasluhuje podrobnou četbu stránka co stránka.“ (Annales Médico-psychologiques).

Everyone knows Benjamin Franklin was an important statesman, inventor, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. But did you know he started the first public library in America?Ben Franklin was always a “bookish” boy. The first book he read was the Bible at age five, and then he read every printed word in his father’s small home library. Ben wanted to read more, but books were expensive. He wanted to go to school and learn, but his family needed him to work. Despite this, Ben Franklin had lots of ideas about how to turn his love of reading and learning into something more. First he worked as a printer’s apprentice, then he set up his own printing business. Later, he became the first bookseller in Philadelphia, started a newspaper, published Poor Richard’s Almanac, and in 1731, with the help of his friends, organized the first subscription lending library, the Library Company.Ruth Ashby’s fast-paced biography takes young readers through Franklin’s life from his spirited, rebellious youth through his successful career as an inventor and politician and finally to the last years of his life, surrounded by his personal collection of books.

Fashion History: A Global View proposes a new perspective on fashion history. Arguing that fashion has occurred in cultures beyond the West throughout history, this groundbreaking book explores the geographic places and historical spaces that have been largely neglected by contemporary fashion studies, bringing them together for the first time.Reversing the dominant narrative that privileges Western Europe in the history of dress, Welters and Lillethun adopt a cross-cultural approach to explore a vast array of cultures around the globe. They explore key issues affecting fashion systems, ranging from innovation, production and consumption to identity formation and the effects of colonization. Case studies include the cross-cultural trade of silk textiles in Central Asia, the indigenous dress of the Americas and of Hawai''i, the cosmetics of the Tang Dynasty in China, and stylistic innovation in sub-Saharan Africa. Examining the new lessons that can be deciphered from archaeological findings and theoretical advancements, the book shows that fashion history should be understood as a global phenomenon, originating well before and beyond the fourteenth century European court, which is continually, and erroneously, cited as fashion''s birthplace. Providing a fresh framework for fashion history scholarship, Fashion History: A Global View will inspire inclusive dress narratives for students and scholars of fashion, anthropology, and cultural studies.

Držíte v rukou nové vydání tří přednášek Viktora Frankla z roku 1946, které mají obrovskou sílu a jsou překvapivě aktuální a které shrnují celé myšlení tohoto velkého lékaře a psychoterapeuta. Jejich smyslem je ukázat, že život má navzdory všemu smysl – navzdory bídě, smrti, utrpení, nemoci, osudu – a je možné mu říci Ano.Mnoho lidí po celém světě skličuje poznání, že materiální blahobyt sám o sobě není tím, co by jejich životu dávalo smysl. Viktor Frankl říká, že je to sám život, kdo nám klade otázky, na něž máme odpovídat. A jedině když na ně odpovídáme, máme možnost naplnit smysl života.Frankl rozvíjí své základní přesvědčení, že být člověkem znamená být schopen zvolit si, jak budeme v různých situacích reagovat, jak k nim budeme přistupovat. Důkazem toho jsou jeho vlastní bolestivé zkušenosti se ztrátou, hladem a strachem ze smrti, ve kterých přese všechno dokázal nalézt i naději, přátelství a smysluplné zkušenosti.V ­každé krizi se skrývá také příležitost – a­ to prokázat svou vlastní lidskost.

Po obecném výkladu neuróz autor dělí duševní poruchy na endogenní psychózy, psychosomatická onemocnění, funkční onemocnění a neurózy reaktivní, iatrogenní, psychogenní, noogenní a kolektivní. Výraz „noogenní neurózy“ odráží Franklovo přesvědčení, že i problémy duchovního rázu či existenciální krize se mohou zdát zdrojem neurotických obtíží. Kolektivní neurózy zase znamenají neurotické poruchy typické pro ducha doby, v níž daný člověk žije. V druhé části knihy autor představuje dvě hlavní metody léčby noogenních neuróz – logoterapii jakožto terapii vycházející z duchovních zdrojů a existenciální analýzu coby terapii zaměřenou na duchovní oblast a na osobní duchovní existenci. Kniha je doprovázena mnoha kazuistikami.Viktor E. Frankl (1905–1997) byl profesorem neurologie a psychiatrie. Je tvůrcem tzv. logoterapie a existenciální analýzy jakožto „třetího vídeňského směru psychoterapie“, který se zaměřuje na hledání smyslu v lidském životě. Ve svých knihách Frankl mj. využil své zkušenosti vězně nacistických koncentračních táborů. V Portále vyšla jeho kniha Utrpení z nesmyslnosti života.
