A trove of insights into and images of an important, little-known Frank Lloyd Wright building  The house that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Frederick C. and Katherine G. Bogk in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1916 occupies a unique position in Wright⠙s career: it is the only fully realized house designed in the teens that demonstrates his fascination with Primitivism, the use of non-Western sources as an inspiration for modern design. This book traces Wright⠙s exploration alongside the stories of an immigrant family⠙s rise and Milwaukee⠙s emergence as a vibrant city. It also documents the interiors, relatively unchanged for over a century, that represent Wright⠙s approach to total design.  Written by two eminent architectural historians and Wright scholars, Anthony Alofsin and Richard L. Cleary, this book offers new insight into the evolution of Wright⠙s design process during the least understood decade of his career. The book draws on a fascinating cache of unpublished letters, photographs, drawings, and documents in the private archive of the Elsner family, who owned the house from 1955 to 2023. The book also features new photography of the Bogk House by Alexander Vertikoff, renowned for his use of natural light.  Distributed for Frank Lloyd Wright⠙s Burnham Block, Inc.

Acclaimed as the “father of skyscrapers”, the quintessentially American icon Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) was an architect of aspiration. He believed in giving cultivated American life its fitting architectural equivalent and applied his idealism to structures across the continent, from suburban homes to churches, offices, skyscrapers, and the celebrated Guggenheim Museum. Wright’s work is distinguished by its harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture, and which found its paradigm at Fallingwater, a house in rural Pennsylvania, cited by the American Institute of Architects as “the best all-time work of American architecture”. Wright also made a particular mark with his use of industrial materials, and by the simple L or T plan of his Prairie House which became a model for rural architecture across America. Wright was also often involved in many of the interior elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass, paying particular attention to the balance between individual needs and community activity. Exploring Wright’s aspirations to augment American society through architecture, this book offers a concise introduction to his at once technological and Romantic response to the practical challenges of middle-class Americans. The author Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer became Frank Lloyd Wright’s apprentice at the Taliesin Fellowship in 1949. In 1957, he attended the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, returning in 1958 to continue his apprenticeship with Wright until his death in 1959. He remains at Taliesin to this day, as director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives, a vice-president of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, and author of numerous publications on Wright s life and work. The editor Peter Gössel runs an agency for museum and exhibition design. He has published TASCHEN monographs on Julius Shulman, R. M. Schindler, John Lautner, and Richard Neutra as well as several architecture titles in the Basic Art Series.

Radujem sa zo slovenského vydania knihy AKO SA BOH STAL KRÁĽOM. Teším sa, že po knihe Prekvapení nádejou sa toto dielo dostáva na Slovensko.Táto kniha je o tom, ako sme nepochopili evanjeliá. Buď sme sa nechali zlákať jasnými odkazmi vyznaní viery a zabudli sme na veľký príbeh Izraela a Božieho kráľovstva, alebo sme sa nadchli kráľovstvom, ktoré vyjadruje Božiu vášeň pre nápravu sveta, no nedali sme ho do súladu s vtelením a smrťou Božieho syna. Božie kráľovstvo a Ježišovo ukrižovanie - tieto dve témy sú v evanjeliách úplne prepletené, ale ich spojenie nám akosi nejde.Jadrom posolstva evanjelií je príbeh, AKO SA BOH STAL KRÁĽOM - teda niečo, čo Boh už urobil a dosiahol skrze Ježiša. Boh preto dokončí svoj zámer, ako zasľúbil, a naplní svet svojou láskou a slávou. Takáto vízia má potenciál dodať odhodlanie pre prácu evanjelia novej generácii. Mojou nádejou a modlitbou je, aby k tomu táto kniha prispela aj na Slovensku.Tom Wright Neviem o nikom inom, kto by lepšie prenášal múdrosť historického kresťanstva do dnešnej doby ako N. T.

Packer, profesor teológie na Regent College vo Vancouveri a známy autor N. T. Wright (1948) je popredný novozmluvný teológ a svetový odborník na dejiny raného kresťanstva. V súčasnosti pôsobí ako profesor Novej zmluvy a raného kresťanstva na Teologickej fakulte Univerzity St. Andrews v Škótsku. Tom Wright v minulosti slúžil ako biskup diecézy Anglikánskej cirkvi v Durhame a pôsobil na význačných univerzitách v Oxforde, Cambridgi, McGille v Toronte a iných. Napísal viac ako 35 odborných a populárnych kníh a okrem knihy Ako sa Boh stal kráľom vyšli v slovenskom preklade aj jeho knihy Prekvapení nádejou a Jednoducho kresťan. V edícii životopisov velikánov kresťanského myslenia z dielne Porta libri vyjde v roku 2020 aj Wrightov obsiahly životopis PAVOL, v ktorom zhrnul svoj celoživotný výskum apoštola Pavla a jeho teológie. N. T. Wright svojím vplyvom ďaleko prekročil hranice vlastnej anglikánskej tradície a jeho dielo s veľkým záujmom čítajú ľudia z protestantského aj katolíckeho prostredia.

Artist Daphne Wright is fascinated with the collections of the Ashmolean Museum and the history of seeing they present. Her latest project grows out of a lifetimeâ ™s engagement with this theme. Much of Wrightâ ™s existing body of work is steeped in a deep understanding of the iconography and history of Western art, as represented in the Ashmoleanâ ™s extensive collection. This book establishes connections to the Ashmoleanâ ™s rich collection of 17th century Dutch Still Life paintings. These genre paintings portray a range of subjects from arrangements of flowers to fruit, fish and game. Sometimes the paintings include a symbolic reference to the transience of life, in the form of fruit that has begun to rot or flowers that are losing petals. In Fridge Still Life, the exposed body of a fridge, containing upon its shelves a raw chicken and bundle of asparagus, is topped with a vase of wilting tulips. This is a contemporary re-telling of a still life painting, with its various familiar elements, such as a brace of hanging pheasants, a bowl of fruit and a vase of blooms, with can connote status or vanitas. Wright has explored the transitory nature of life throughout her practice. In previous work, Wright has used plants and animals, with their shorter life spans, to stand in for the human. Wrightâ ™s work also resonates strongly with the Ashmoleanâ ™s extensive and celebrated cast collection. Prominent amongst the plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures are the gods and heroes of Homeric legend. These idealised images of men still form the basis of our ideas of masculinity today. With Sons on Couch Wright is seeking to capture the elusive moment of transition into manhood. The athletic figures in the cast court may have been updated to social media influencers, but the pressure young men face today to achieve a perceived ideal body type remain the same.

From one of America’s most brilliant writers, a New York Times bestselling journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of meditation to show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and enduring happiness.At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer—and the reason we make other people suffer—is that we don’t see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: We can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness. In this “sublime” (The New Yorker), pathbreaking book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life—how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. He also shows why this transformation works, drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution. This book is the culmination of a personal journey that began with Wright’s landmark book on evolutionary psychology, The Moral Animal, and deepened as he immersed himself in meditative practice and conversed with some of the world’s most skilled meditators. The result is a story that is “provocative, informative and...deeply rewarding” (The New York Times Book Review), and as entertaining as it is illuminating. Written with the wit, clarity, and grace for which Wright is famous, Why Buddhism Is True lays the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age and shows how, in a time of technological distraction and social division, we can save ourselves from ourselves, both as individuals and as a species.

​The incredible true story of the origin of human flight, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author David McCullough. On a winter day in 1903, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, two unknown brothers from Ohio changed history. But it would take the world some time to believe what had happened: the age of flight had begun, with the first heavier-than-air, powered machine carrying a pilot.Who were these men and how was it that they achieved what they did? David McCullough, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, tells the surprising, profoundly human story of Wilbur and Orville Wright. Far more than a couple of unschooled Dayton bicycle mechanics who happened to hit on success, they were men of exceptional courage and determination, and of far-ranging intellectual interests and ceaseless curiosity, much of which they attributed to their upbringing.In this thrilling book, McCullough draws on the immense riches of the Wright Papers, including private diaries, notebooks, scrapbooks and more than a thousand letters from private family correspondence to tell the human side of the Wright Brothers #39; story, including the little-known contributions of their sister, Katharine, without whom things might well have gone differently for them.

In this thoughtful follow-up to Simply Christian, today’s leading Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and acclaimed author uses the Gospel of John to reveal how Christianity presents a compelling and relevant explanation for our world.N. T. Wright argues that every world view must explain seven “signposts,” indicators inherent to humanity: Justice, Spirituality, Relationships, Beauty, Freedom, Truth, and Power. If we do not live up to these ideals, our societies and individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger and frustration—negative emotions that divide us from ourselves and from God, he contends. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being broken and unattainable. Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves and our world.

Exams, grades, league tables, Ofsted reports. All of them miss the point of school and together they are undermining our whole approach to education. An essential read – as entertaining as it is insightful – for anyone who cares about the way we treat young people ObserverWhat is school for? Drawing on his twenty years as a teacher, hundreds of interviews and his experience on the UK Government s Social Mobility Commission, head teacher Sammy Wright exposes the fundamental misconception at the heart of our education system. By focusing on the grades pupils get in neatly siloed, academic subjects, we end up ranking them and our schools into winners and losers: some pupils are set on a trajectory to university - the rest are left ill-equipped for the world they actually face.Wright s entertaining and hugely important book shows that schools are - and should be - so much more than this. With wisdom and humour, balancing idealism and pragmatism, he sets out what a better way would look like and how we might get there.‘Brilliantly illuminates the realities and blindspots of the system’ Jeffrey Boakye‘Deeply absorbing...Wright deserves the highest marks’ Financial Times Such a compelling read, no matter your outlook Telegraph‘Extraordinary and brilliant . . . the book education has been waiting for’ Laura McInerney, co-founder of Teacher Tapp

In The Evolution of God, Robert Wright, award-winning author of the bestselling books Nonzero and The Moral Animal, takes us on a sweeping journey through religious history, from the Stone Age to the Information Age, unveiling along the way an astonishing discovery: that there is a hidden pattern in the way that Judaism, Christianity and Islam have all evolved.Through the prisms of archaeology, theology, evolutionary psychology and a careful re-reading of the scriptures, Wright s findings repeatedly overturn conventional wisdom and basic assumptions about the great monotheistic faiths.Looking at the forces that have moved the Abrahamic faiths away from belligerence and intolerance to a higher moral plane, Wright finds that this previously unrecognized evolutionary logic points not toward continued religious extremism as the media would have us believe, but towards future harmony.

Discover complex histories and experiences of Asian Americans through the work of 2023 Pulitzer Prize finalist Lloyd Suh.For the past decade, Lloyd Suh has dramatized forgotten moments that have indelibly shaped American history. Through a sustained exploration of over 150 years of Asian and Asian American experiences, these plays contest the pastness of the past to reveal the unexpected ways that untold histories reverberate into the present. Suhâ ™s theatrical imagination, his stylistic and formal artistry, empathy, wit, and humor shine through unforgettable characters. Unique in scope and perspective, these history plays offer a powerful testament to the ingenuity and endurance of Asian America.The Chinese Lady is a portrait of the United States as seen through the eyes of the first Chinese woman in America, Afong Moy, who was put on display, as she comes of age in a nation struggling to define itself. Set in the wake of the Chinese Exclusion Act, The Far Country is an intimate epic that traces the forging of an unlikely family through invented biographies and poems of longing from rural Taishan to the wild west of California.

Son, and postscripts by theatre artists May Adrales, Jiyoun Chang, Peter Kim, Whit K. Lee, and Shannon Tyo.

Podstata křesťanství (Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense) Proč toužíme po spravedlnosti? Proč hledáme duchovní rozměr života? Proč nás přitahuje krása? Proč se trápíme ve vztazích? Jak dát svět znovu do pořádku? Podle N. T. Wrighta jsou tyto odvěké otázky ozvěnou hlasu, který tušíme jen mlhavě, ale bytostně toužíme jej zaslechnout. Tyto otázky nás přivádějí k samotné podstatě Boha, jeho charakteru a jeho vůle. Křesťanství na tyto otázky odpovídalo po celá dvě tisíciletí. Přední novozákonní badatel a anglikánský biskup N. T. Wright ukazuje, že na ně může odpovídat i dnes. Podobně jako to učinil v minulé generaci C. S. Lewis ve svém díle K jádru křesťanství, N. T. Wright nyní objasňuje základní obsah křesťanské víry a ukazuje na způsob, jak ji autenticky žít v dnešním světě. Jeho kniha Podstata křesťanství nabízí vysvětlení hledajícím i skeptikům a přináší novou inspiraci i dlouholetým věřícím.

The First World War from a refreshingly unfamiliar angle . . . masterly Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times Compelling . . . The Eastern Front is essential reading Margaret Macmillan, Financial Timesâ ˜A masterwork . . . This is the history of the Eastern Front Iâ ™ve waited all my life to readâ ™ Simon Sebag MontefioreThe definitive history of the Eastern Front in the First World War, from the acclaimed military historian and author of Passchendaele and The Western Front***********In the second volume of his landmark First World War trilogy, Professor Nick Lloyd tells the story for the first time of what Winston Churchill once called the unknown war : the vast conflict in Eastern Europe and the Balkans that brought about the collapse of three empires.Much has been written about the fighting in France and Belgium, yet the Eastern Front was no less bloody. Between 1914 and 1917, huge numbers of people - perhaps as many as 16 million soldiers and two million civilians - were killed, wounded or maimed in enormous battles that sometimes ranged across a front of 100 km in length. Through intimate eyewitness reports, diary entries and memoirs - many of which have never been translated into English before - Lloyd reconstructs the full story of a war that began in the Balkans as a local struggle between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, and which sucked in Russia, Germany and Italy, right through to the final collapse of the Habsburg Empire in 1918.The Eastern Front paints a vivid and authoritative picture of a conflict that shook the world, and that remains central to understanding the tragic, blood-soaked trajectory of the twentieth century, and the current war in Ukraine.

About the people who make and shape the bread we buy and the difficulties that social and cultural change, food fads and health directives have had, and are having, on the baking industry. After his family bakery sadly closed its doors after seventy-five years, Wright asks if the the closure of the bakery underlines the very idea that bread is a dying foodstuff. Is bread good or bad? And what does the future hold for bread?Bread is an essential part of our story, our health, our very being. Every civilisation has a form of bread, and how we create, make and bake it, how we sell it and buy it, our food security, our access to it, affects everything: our physical and mental well-being, the ingredients, the seeds, the very earth we grow our grains in, the water we use and how we treat and sustain these natural resources, impact on the very health and future of our planet.Chapters include:1 Why Bread? – Creating, making, baking2: The Wheel of Life – A loaf’s cycle3: Frankenloaf – Science and the perfect loaf4: Sicker by the Slice – A marriage not made in heaven5: Big Bread – Industrial vs artisan bakeries6: The Breadline – The economics of crust7: Flour Power – The politics of bread8: Bloody Bread – The costs of conquest9: Our Daily Bread – What the gods want10: Breaking bread - A once ropey baker looks to the futureBreaking Bread contains interviews and expert contributions from Olia Hercules - Food Writer, Dan Lepard - Baker and Writer, Felicity Spector - Writer and Baker, Kateryna Kalyuzhna – Baker, Brad Leone - Food Personality, Chris Cowie – Philosopher, Zara Mohammed - Religious Leader, William Kendall - Food Producer, Andy Cato/George Lamb – Wildfarmed, Daisy Terry - Dusty Knuckle, Ollie Hornsey-Pennell - Hylsten Bakery, Tim Williams - Regenerative Farmer, Matt Burgess – Chef, Martha Delacey - Teacher and Writer, Karl De Smedt - Sourdough Librarian, Vanessa Kimbell – Baker, Chris Young - Real Bread Campaign, Ben MacKinnon - Baker E5, Ben Glazer - Coombeshead Bakery, Andrew Gilespy - Fresh Flour, OJ Borg - Radio 2 DJ and Presenter, Christopher Tan - Baker and Writer, Martin Bricknell - War Studies Professor KCL, Wing Mon Cheung - Cereal Bakery

Haunting . . . The writing is often breathtaking, brutality amplified through perfectly crafted prose. The Times Extraordinary . . . Serious history and skillful journalism, but with the nuance and wallop of a finely wrought novel. Washington Post With a passion for truth and justice, and a fierce determination to dig for the secrets, Wright Thompson has produced an incredible history of a crime that changed America. John GrishamHow forces from around the world converged on the Mississippi Delta to bring about the most consequential murder in US history. Emmett Tillâ ™s murder is one of the most infamous in American history; a moment that, more than any other, awakened the world to the racism of the Deep South. Yet despite growing up just a few miles from where it happened, Wright Thompson knew nothing of it until he left Mississippi. This is no accident: the cover-up began at once, and it is ongoing. Over the course of five yearsâ ™ research, Thompson has learnt that almost every part of the standard account of Tillâ ™s killing is wrong. In August 1955, after the two men charged with the murder were acquitted by an all-white jury, they gave a false confession to a journalist: one that was misleading about where the murder took place and who was involved. We now know that at least eight people were present, and many more complicit. And we now know precisely where it took place: inside a barn on a 36-square-mile grid called Township 22 North, Range 4 West. This book tells the story of that barn. It is the story of what really happened on the night of August 28, 1955, and of the individuals who have spent decades bringing the truth to light. And it is the story of the centuries-old forces that made that night inevitable: forces that, over the course of 200 years, transformed Township 22 North, Range 4 West from Choctaw land, to a slave plantation, to a sharecropperâ ™s farm, to the site of the most significant murder in US history. The result is a revelatory work of investigative reportage and a panoramic new history of white supremacy in America. It maps the road that the US â “ and the world â “ must travel to heal its oldest, deepest wound.

As Christopher Lloyd and Beth Chatto convey their gardening experiences, share gossip and discuss life and nature, the horticultural expertise of these two long-established friends and distinguished gardeners gives these inspirational letters a life of their own. Beth Chatto’s garden in East Anglia is a place of pilgrimage for plant lovers, while Christopher Lloyd was one of the major figures in twentieth century gardening, transforming the gardens of his home Great Dixter in East Sussex.Friday 16 February Dear Beth, Today was straight out of my idea of heaven – the first such day this year and the first time that all the winter crocuses have opened wide, in appreciation. Armed with my kneeling pad, I dropped to my knees to savour the honey scent of C. chrysanthus ‘Snow Bunting’. Rosemary Alexander, who spends more and more time at Stoneacre (the National Trust property near Maidstone, which she rents), expressed doubts on whether it wouldn’t be better to concentrate on snowdrops, seeing that crocuses spend so much of their time in an obstinately closed state, loudly proclaiming ‘this isn’t good enough for me’. I can see her point, of course. […] Tuesday 20 February Dear Christo, What a good thing you enjoyed your crocuses when you had the chance! Today we are blanketed in snow once more, with a wild north wind hurling stinging dry snow horizontally past the windows. Your way of having crocuses (and many other bulbs) naturalized in short grass is a far more effective way of growing them than in conventional borders. Left to seed themselves in little knots and ribbons of colour they appear like embroidery across a carpet before something else takes over the design. […]

THE MORAL ANIMAL examines the significance of this extraordinary shift in our perception of morality and what it means to be human.Taking the life of Charles Darwin as his context, Robert Wright brilliantly demonstrates how Darwin s ideas have stood the test of time, drawing startling conclusions about the structure of some of our most basic preoccupations. Why do we commit adultery, express suicidal tendencies and have the capacity for self-deception? Wright not only provides the answers to such fundamental moral questions from the perspective of evolutionary psychology but challenges us to see ourselves anew through the clarifying lens of this fledgling and exciting science.

Richard Wright s memoir of his childhood as a young black boy in the American south of the 1920s and 30s is a stark depiction of African-American life and a powerful exploration of racial tension.â ˜A compelling indictment of life in the Deep South between the warsâ ™ Daily Telegraph At four years old, Richard Wright set fire to his home in a moment of boredom; at five his father deserted the family; by six Richard was - temporarily - an alcoholic. It was in saloons, railroad yards and streets that he learned the facts about life, about fear, hunger and hatred, while his mother s long illness taught him about suffering. In a world of white hostility and subjugation it would be his love of books and pursuit of knowledge that would propel him to follow his dream of justice and opportunity in the north.A chronicle of coming of age under the racial prejudices of the American south, as much the story of a writer finding his voice, Black Boy remains one of the great, impassioned memoirs of the twentieth century.

A study of contemporary pilgrimage through the elastic history of a shrine in Oaxaca, Mexico.  For many, pilgrimage conjures ideas about ancient traditions and somber journeys of self-discovery⠔an escape from modern life. In Devotion in Motion, Edward Wright-Ríos argues that we misunderstand pilgrimage (past and present) if we ignore its dynamic relationship with the rhythms of daily life and community. Through the story of a centuries-old, ever-changing Catholic shrine to Our Lady of Juquila in Oaxaca, Mexico, Wright-Ríos reveals how tradition, innovation, marketing, and devotion coexist and interact in pilgrimage. Devotees, he shows, are not dissuaded by the embeddedness of the sacred site in the complexities, hierarchies, or conflicts of their lives. In fact, the truckers, accountants, and health-care workers we meet in this book actively seek new resources (including social media) to aid and share their devotion. Part microhistory, part ethnography, Devotion in Motion is a celebration of pilgrimage as a living experience in every generation.
