NATIONAL BESTSELLERThis second volume of Sapiens: A Graphic History, the full-color graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s #1 New York Times bestseller, focuses on the Agricultural Revolution—when humans fell into a trap we’ve yet to escape: working harder and harder with diminishing returns.What if humanity’s major woes—war, plague, famine and inequality—originated 12,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens converted from nomads to settlers, in pursuit of the fantasy of productivity and efficiency? What if by seeking to control plants and animals, humans ended up being controlled by kings, priests, and Kafkaesque bureaucracy? Volume 2 of Sapiens: A Graphic History–The Pillars of Civilization explores a crucial chapter in human development: the Agricultural Revolution. This is the story of how wheat took over the world; how an unlikely marriage between a god and a bureaucrat created the first empires; and how war, plague, famine, and inequality became an intractable feature of the human condition.But it’s not all doom and gloom with this book’s cast of entertaining characters and colorful humorous scenes. Yuval, Zoe, Prof. Saraswati, Cindy and Bill (now farmers), Detective Lopez, and Dr. Fiction, all introduced in Volume 1, once again travel the length and breadth of human history, this time investigating ...

''Queer: A Graphic History Could Totally Change the Way You Think About Sex and Gender'' ViceActivist-academic Meg-John Barker and cartoonist Jules Scheele illuminate the histories of queer thought and LGBTQ+ action in this groundbreaking non-fiction graphic novel.From identity politics and gender roles to privilege and exclusion, Queer explores how we came to view sex, gender and sexuality in the ways that we do; how these ideas get tangled up with our culture and our understanding of biology, psychology and sexology; and how these views have been disputed and challenged.Along the way we look at key landmarks which shift our perspective of what’s ‘normal’ – Alfred Kinsey’s view of sexuality as a spectrum, Judith Butler’s view of gendered behaviour as a performance, the play Wicked, or moments in Casino Royale when we’re invited to view James Bond with the kind of desiring gaze usually directed at female bodies in mainstream media.Presented in a brilliantly engaging and witty style, this is a unique portrait of the universe of queer thinking.

Pamela Colman Smith: artist, occultist, true bohemian. Her illustrations defined the iconography of the classic tarot deck, but she is all too often forgotten.Born in London in 1878, Pamela moved to Jamaica with her parents at the age of eleven and then to New York to study art. She dropped out of college following her mother''s death in 1896, and after her father died in 1899 she found herself back in London, joining the infamous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret society dedicated to the study of occultism. It was there that she met Arthur Edward Waite, with whom she created the classic Rider-Waite Tarot deck that is still in print today.This beautifully illustrated graphic history tells the tale of Pamela''s life and relates it to the iconic cards she helped to create, from the Fool, the beginning of every new adventure, to the Magician, who focusses energy, to the Hanged Man, who helps us see things from a different perspective, until finally we embrace the World and fulfil our destinies.

Graphic design has a paradoxical relationship to history. While it claims to promote originality and innovation - ideas that emphasize the new and unique - design practice is deeply embedded in previous ideals. Too often, design students encounter the past in brief visual impressions which seduce them to imitate form rather than engage with historical contexts. Even though it has claimed to be objective and even comprehensive, graphic design history has focused largely on individual careers and Eurocentric achievements.Yet the past swells with untapped potential. Graphic design history can serve the field of today and tomorrow, but its narratives require updates. History, like design, is always changing — and like design, history is driven by present-day questions. This book shows how students and practicing designers can enrich their work by thinking historically about design. With thoughtful analyses, stimulating creative prompts, inspiring case studies, and perspectives from designers all over the world, this book challenges our traditional understanding of graphic design history, and the very notion of the design canon, offering ways to shape socially engaged, critical practices.

Since the seventeenth century, the café, or coffee house, in Europe has been the key gathering place of innovators and mavericks – the writers, artists, philosophers and political figures who formed influential affiliations and gave birth to revolutionary movements that still affect our lives today. It was the type of establishment ideally suited for this role. Unlike the tavern, pub or bar, where one’s senses grow ever duller from alcohol, one can sit for hours in a café with like-minded companions, consuming the coffee that sharpens wits and conversations. No wonder so many new ideas were generated in the legendary cafés of Paris and Vienna, Rome and Venice, Prague, Budapest and other major European cities.

In 1576, a young man could have attended the first performance at The Theatre, newly-built by James Burbage, the first arena exclusively dedicated to the drama in England since Roman times. Sixty-years later, as a very old man, he could have attended the last performance at the Globe Theatre before its summary closure by the Puritans. The two dates represent the beginning and the end of the golden age of English theatre. In this book, Nicholas Fogg recounts the epic and often tumultuous story of those years – the great poets and actors, the rivalries, personalities, hostility and panache that contributed to a monumental era, going beyond such household words as Shakespeare, Marlowe, Burbage, Alleyn and Jonson to the lesser-known who also made their vital contribution to the world that was the stage, which ranged from the humble provincial inn yard of the touring company to the sumptuous royal palace. Yet it was at heart a popular theatre, created by the people for the people, reflecting the vital breath of its times and continuing to speak to us today: a story which involves us all because it represents the universal drama in which we all play our many parts.

The Indian Buddhist world abounds with goddesses—graceful nature divinities, maternal nurturers, potent healers, mighty protectors, transcendent wisdom figures, cosmic mothers of liberation, and dancing female Buddhas. Despite their importance in Buddhist thought and practice, female deities have received relatively little scholarly attention, and no comprehensive study of the female pantheon has been available.Buddhist Goddesses of India chronicles the histories, legends, and artistic portrayals of nineteen goddesses and several related human figures and texts.

Překvapivě zralá sbírka intimní lyriky básnířky, prozaičky a publicistky Moniky Hojné. Originálními ilustracemi doprovodil kolínský výtvarník Pavel Rajdl. Druhá básnická sbírka Moniky Hojné, k níž se Renata Bulvová vyjádřila mimo jiné takto: "Mé prohlášení - Monika je tatérka lásky. Vpíchne se, zůstává. A to je víc než dost v době, ve které se lidé neradi zalétají, ulpívají na něčem tak křehkém, jako je láska. Přiznat se k ní je slabost. V podání Moniky Hojné je to ctnost. Umí ji pojmenovat, přes všechny rány rozsévat."

Monika Immrová je absolventkou ateliéru Jindřicha Zeithammla. Je jednou z nejvýraznějších sochařských osobností své generace. Jako rodačka z Loun dostala do vínku silnou afinitu k abstraktnímu tvaru. Jako člověk blízký přírodě se však na druhou stranu neubrání ani průnikům geometrie s organickým tvarem. Tato bipolární identita jejích betonových objektů a reliéfů nese v sobě něco z estetiky vybavení meziplanetárních plavidel a historických industrií zároveň. Beton povýšila na sochařský materiál par excelence. Pracuje s ním stejně často jako s dalším netradičním materiálem - kartonem. Tyto svého druhu čistě technické komodity jsou jí oporou při hledání oproštěného a striktně formulovaného prostorového konceptu. Její doménou byla a je socha, ale v posledních letech intenzivně pracuje také v grafice a získala za ni ocenění Grafika roku.Publikace vychází u příležitosti výstavy Tříbení konané v Galerii hlavního města Prahy v Colloredo-Mansfeldském paláci (4. 11. 2020-7. 3. 2021).

Audiokniha: Vysoká inteligence je v povědomí lidí automaticky spojovaná s úspěchem a skvělým životem. Málokoho napadne, že to ale může být přesně naopak, že spousta nadaných lidí, pokud správně neporozumí své odlišnosti, může prožít nenaplněný život plný utrpení, problémů, nepochopení, odmítání a předstírání. Velmi chytří lidé se často cítí osaměle, trpí nedostatkem sebedůvěry a až přílišnou citlivostí a zranitelností. Mívají pocit, jako by byli z jiné planety. Tím, že mají odlišný způsob myšlení a prožívání, bývají mnohdy nepochopeni, což vede k ještě většímu uzavírání se do sebe. Tato výjimečná audiokniha jim odhalí cesty k nalezení štěstí, seberealizaci a plně prožitému životu. Čím dříve je poznají, a to nejlépe už v dětském věku, tím méně času v životě promarní zbytečnými pokusy být jako ostatní, přizpůsobit se.

Monika je dospělá, soběstačná žena. Má však pohnutou minulost – rodiče ji počali v nevázaných šedesátkách a poté ji nechali napospas divoké době. Monika tak i po letech hledá ztracenou maminku. Jenže stopy vedou do surreálné undergroundové sekty… Román rozdělený do devíti stylově odlišných částí nasvěcuje z několika úhlů pohledu Moničinu cestu, na níž se ocitnete ve válce ve Vietnamu nebo lovecraftovském hororu, zažijete existenciální tíseň i nevázané sexuální eskapády a budete svědky makabrózních výjevů či esoterických rituálů. Daniel Clowes čerpá z pulpových kořenů amerického komiksu a obohacuje je jedinečným psychedelickým nádechem. Monika je vrcholem Clowesovy tvorby a mistrovskou lekcí v komiksovém vyprávění.

Monika Zgustová v díle na pomezí románu a literatury faktu Oblečené k tanci na sněhu zachycuje autentická svědectví devíti "silných, vnímavých a statečných" žen, které se dostaly do spárů jednoho z nejděsivějších totalitních režimů lidských dějin, a přece se nezlomily a dokázaly se vrátit do alespoň zčásti normálního života. Zgustové hrdinky líčí nejen své děsivé zkušenosti s prostředím stalinských lágrů, ale také strázně onoho "návratu do civilu", jenž byl nejednou stejně nesnadný jako pobyt v místech s běžným lidským životem skoro neslučitelných. Všechny se shodnou na tom, že přežily zejména díky skutečnosti, že se upnuly na literaturu a poezii a nalezly krásu i ve zcela odlidštěných podmínkách a že jim pobyt v táborech pomohl si uvědomit, jaké hodnoty jsou skutečně důležité. Drásavému tématu navzdory je kniha oslavou života a vyznívá pozitivně v tom smyslu, že i takto drastickou zkušenost je možné přežít. "Nikdo si nedovede představit, co pro vězně znamenala kniha - byla to spása! Byla to krása, svoboda a civilizace uprostřed barbarství!" - Jelena Korybut-Daszkiewicz Markova "Z četby Oblečených k tanci na sněhu vás bude mrazit, a nebude to jen ze zimy, která přichází z tundry, ale také z čirého strachu.
