In My Nature - James Owen Thomas

An exploration of colourful collages influenced by autism and the natural world by award-winning environmental artist James Owen Thomas. Foreword by Monty Don.James creates bold, engaging collages and montages from old lottery scratchcards and other used materials. His autism has an influence throughout his creative process, from gathering materials to sorting them by colour, visual theme and texture before hole-punching, tearing or cutting them up for collaging – it even affects the subjects he depicts. These are primarily peaceful, calming woodland settings and animals, but also branch out into architecture, portraiture and the surreal. This beautifully illustrated examination of his work shows how his art and love for nature have helped him cope with autism from an early age, going on to explain the inspiration behind many of his pieces and the various techniques he uses. An emotive biographical section describes the many challenges of his autism and how he has worked through them – and with them – to become a successful artist and environmental campaigner.

John Morton - Stuart Bradley

John Morton (c. 1420–1500) was one of the most important men in the land from the Wars of the Roses to the start of the Tudor dynasty. Yet he has been largely ignored in recent times.He was a man of great character and influence over politics and the Church. He lived into his eighties, having served three kings as a councillor, Master of the Rolls, Lord Chancellor, bishop, Archbishop of Canterbury and Cardinal. He was a key figure in the early Tudor state. He had escaped from the Tower of London, lived in exile twice, and was a major adversary of Richard III. He funded the building of Hatfield Palace, the first drainage of the fens, and the central tower of Canterbury Cathedral. The Morton Missal contained the first printed music in England.As S. B. Chrimes observed, ‘Although there can be little doubt that Morton was the key figure in Henry VII’s government, nothing approaching an adequate study of his life and role has yet been published.’ In fact, no detailed biography of Morton has been produced since Victorian times.This book follows John Morton’s career through the reigns of Henry VI and Edward IV, and his central role in opposition ...

Ekobytí - Timothy Morton

Jak mluvit o klimatické krizi s těmi, kdo se o ekologii nezajímají? Timothy Morton místo hory dat a sloganů nabízí filozofickou cestu na hranice lidského a nelidského světa. A během ní máme šanci nejen zachránit planetu, ale taky objevit vlastní spřízněnost s přírodou okolo. Timothy Morton je britský*á filozof*ka, jehož*jíž práce stojí na pomezí současné postantropocentrické filozofie a environmentálních studií. Patří ke klíčovým postavám takzvané objektově orientované ontologie, která mimo jiné boří tradiční hranice mezi lidským a nelidským světem i hierarchie bytí. Jako profesor*ka dlouhodobě působí na Rice University v Texasu a kromě ekologie nebo filozofie píše o umění, populární kultuře a literatuře. Vydal*a přes 18 knih, z nichž vzešla řada vlivných konceptů - kromě hyperobjektů, které Morton řeší v této knize, třeba temná ekologie. Jeho*jí práce meandruje mezi akademickou filozofií a populární esejistikou, spolupracoval*a s Björk, Pharrellem Williamsem nebo Olafurem Eliassonem.

Being Ecological - Timothy Morton

''To read Being Ecological is to be caught up in a brilliant display of intellectual pyrotechnics'' P.D.Smith, GuardianWhy is everything we think we know about ecology wrong?Is there really any difference between ''humans'' and ''nature''?Does this mean we even have a future?Don''t care about ecology? This book is for you. Timothy Morton, who has been called ''Our most popular guide to the new epoch'' (Guardian), sets out to show us that whether we know it or not, we already have the capacity and the will to change the way we understand the place of humans in the world, and our very understanding of the term ''ecology''. A cross-disciplinarian who has collaborated with everyone from Björk to Hans Ulrich Obrist, Morton is also a member of the object-oriented philosophy movement, a group of forward-looking thinkers who are grappling with modern-day notions of subjectivity and objectivity, while also offering fascinating new understandings of Heidegger and Kant. Calling the volume a book containing ''no ecological facts'', Morton confronts the ''information dump'' fatigue of the digital age, and offers an invigorated approach to creating a liveable future.

The Stuff of Life - Prof. Timothy Morton

''An old teapot, used daily, can tell me more of my past than anything I recorded of it.'' Sylvia Townsend WarnerThere are many ways of telling the story of a life and how we''ve got to where we are. The questions of why and how we think the way we do continues to preoccupy philosophers. In The Stuff of Life, Timothy Morton chooses the objects that have shaped and punctuated their life to tell the story of who they are and why they might think the way they do. These objects are ''things'' in the richest sense. They are beings, non-human beings, that have a presence and a force of their own. From the looming expanse of Battersea Power Station to a packet of anti-depressants and a cowboy suit, Morton explores why ''stuff'' matters and the life of these things have so powerfully impinged upon their own. Their realization, through a concealer stick, that they identify as non-binary reveals the strange and wonderful ways that objects can form our worlds.Part memoir, part philosophical exploration of the meaning of a life lived alongside and through other things, Morton asks us to think about the stuff, things, objects and buildings that have ...

Owen Tudor - Breverton Terry

‘The Welsh habit of revolt against the English is an old-standing madness … from the sayings of the prophet Merlin they still hope to recover their land. Hence, they frequently rebel … but because they do not know the appointed time, they are often deceived and their labour is in vain.’ (Vita Edwardi Secundi)The appointed time, it turned out, was 1485. For generations, the ancestors of Welshman Owen Tudor had fought Romans, Irish Picts, Vikings, Saxons, Mercians and Normans. His uncles had been executed in the Glyndwr Welsh War of Independence. Owen fought for Henry V in France and entered the service of Henry’s queen, Catherine of Valois. Soon after the king’s death he secretly married her, the mother of the eight-month-old Henry VI. Owen and Catherine would have two boys together. Henry VI would go on to ennoble them as Edmund Earl of Richmond, and Jasper Earl of Pembroke, but upon Catherine’s death Owen was imprisoned. Escaping twice, Owen was thrown into the beginnings of the Wars of the Roses with his two sons. It would be Edmund’s son, Henry Tudor, who would take the English throne as Henry VII.When Jasper led the Lancastrian forces at Mortimer’s Cross in ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Selected Letters of Wilfred Owen

This new, select edition of Wilfred Owen''s letters provides a fresh understanding of the poet''s life in his own words.Wilfred Owen''s fame as one of the great war poets of the twentieth century is unsurpassed, with Dulce et Decorum est possibly the defining piece of World War literature.Owen''s letters reveal the man behind the cultural icon; human with all his foibles, whose 25 years were marked by great highs and lows, by emerging modernity, and the violence of war. Evocative, lyrical, and often surprisingly funny, the letters act as both autobiography and companion to the famous war poems. He was both an accomplished poet and one of the finest letter-writers of the twentieth century.Accompanied by new notes and new introduction, as well as previously redacted and omitted material, the new edition of Owen''s Selected Letters brings together past and contemporary scholarship to provide fresh insights into Owen''s character and poetic development.

Kráľovná - Andrew Morton - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Alžbeta z rodu Windsorovcov bola vždy mimoriadne plachá a snívala o pokojnom živote na vidieku, kde by si založila rodinu a starala sa o psy a kone. Osud to však zariadil inak. Následníčkou trónu sa stala po abdikácii svojho strýka kráľa Eduarda VIII. a po predčasnom skone svojho otca kráľa Juraja VI. Počas sedemdesiatich rokov svojho pôsobenia vo funkcii anglickej kráľovnej zažila nielen triumfy, ale čelila i nekonečnému radu prekážok a rodinných konfliktov. Bola vystavená náročným skúškam vytrvalosti a odvahy, no jej úsilie udržať monarchiu na poprednom mieste kultúrne, spoločensky a politicky bolo nezlomné. Neraz pritom narazila na odpor zvnútra samotnej inštitúcie aj zvnútra vlastnej rodiny, ktorá bola pod intenzívnym drobnohľadom médií. Prepieralo sa v nich všetko od údajnej nevery jej manžela, neúspešného manželstva jej sestry, tragickej smrti princeznej Diany až po nedávny odchod princa Harryho a Meghan z kráľovskej rodiny. Renomovaný životopisec Andrew Morton sa v tejto audioknihe podrobne venuje najdlhšie vládnucej britskej panovníčke a skúma vplyv, aký mala prakticky celú druhú polovicu minulého storočia na Britániu a na zvyšok sveta.

Should We Colonize Other Planets? - Adam Morton

As humans continue to degrade and destroy our planet’s resources, leading to predictions of total ecological collapse, some (such as the entrepreneur Elon Musk) now suggest that a human colony elsewhere may be our species’ best hope for survival. Adam Morton examines extra-terrestrial colonization plans with a critical eye. He makes a strong case for colonization – just not by human beings. Humans live relatively short lives and, to survive, require large amounts of food and water, very specific climatic conditions and an oxygen-rich atmosphere. We can create colonists that have none of these shortcomings. Reflecting compassionately on the nature of existence, Morton argues that we should treat the end of the human race in the same way that we treat our own deaths: as something sad but ultimately inevitable. The earth will perish one day, and, in the end, we should be concerned more with securing the future of intelligent beings than with the preservation of our species, which represents but a nanosecond in the history of our solar system.

But when, in a quixotic twist of fate, their uncle Edward VIII decided to abdicate the throne, the dynamic between Elizabeth and Margaret was dramatically altered. Forever more, Margaret would have to curtsey to the sister she called ‘Lillibet’. And bow to her wishes.Elizabeth would always look upon her younger sister’s antics with a kind of stoical amusement but Margaret’s struggle to find a place and position inside the royal system – and her fraught relationship with its expectations – was often a source of tension. Famously, the Queen had to inform Margaret that the Church and government would not countenance her marrying a divorcee, Group Captain Peter Townsend, forcing Margaret to choose between keeping her title and royal allowances or her divorcee lover.From the idyll of their cloistered early life, through their hidden wartime lives, into the divergent paths they took following their father’s death and Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne, this book explores their relationship over the years.

Tasha - Brian Morton

A Washington Post Best Nonfiction Book of the Year In the spirit of Fierce Attachments and The End of Your Life Book Club, acclaimed novelist Brian Morton delivers a “superb” (Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air), darkly funny memoir of his mother’s vibrant life and the many ways in which their tight, tumultuous relationship was refashioned in her twilight years.Tasha Morton is a force of nature: a brilliant educator who’s left her mark on generations of students—and also a whirlwind of a mother, intrusive, chaotic, oppressively devoted, and irrepressible. For decades, her son Brian has kept her at a self-protective distance, but when her health begins to fail, he knows it’s time to assume responsibility for her care. Even so, he’s not prepared for what awaits him, as her refusal to accept her own fragility leads to a series of epic outbursts and altercations that are sometimes frightening, sometimes wildly comic, and sometimes both. Clear-eyed, “deeply stirring” (Dani Shapiro, The New York Times Book Review), and brimming with dark humor, Tasha is both a vivid account of an unforgettable woman and a stark look at the impossible task of caring for an elderly parent in a country whose unofficial motto is “you’re ...

The War Poems Of Wilfred Owen - Wilfred Owen

''Orpheus, the pagan saint of poets, went through hell and came back singing. In twentieth-century mythology, the singer wears a steel helmet and makes his descent "down some profound dull tunnel" in the stinking mud of the Western Front. For most readers of English poetry, the face under that helmet is that of Wilfred Owen.'' Professor Jon Stallworthy, from his Introduction.When Wilfred Owen was killed in the days before the Armistice in 1918, he left behind a shattering, truthful and indelible record of a soldier''s experience of the First World War. His greatest war poetry has been collected, edited and introduced here by Professor Jon Stallworthy. This special edition is published to commemorate the end of the hellish war that Owen, though the hard-won truth and terrible beauty of his poetry, has taught us never to forget.
