With its revered past, Nantucket Looms globally recognized distinctive interiors style—bespoke handwoven textiles, artisanal furnishings, and local art that exudes the island’s heritage—is coveted by today’s tastemakers.In the early 1960s a reawakening was happening on Nantucket.

In 1968 they opened Nantucket Looms, which specialized in needlepoint, crewelwork, handwoven fabrics, and local artwork, forging their Nantucket style aesthetic. This modest homespun charm held great appeal to such style makers as Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Bunny Mellon, and interior designer Billy Baldwin.Nantucket Looms launched an interior design studio in 1998 to much acclaim. The featured recent homes have a sophisticated, comfortable ambience that exemplifies the company’s style—wooden planked floors; natural fiber rugs; muted color palettes in shades of blues, grays, greens, and whites; timeless furniture; and handwoven textiles. Each is adorned with local artwork and crafts inspired by the island''s rich maritime history. This fresh approach to design can be applied everywhere; it is a style embraced in the work of many leading interior designers.

In Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise (1995), two young lovers, the American Jesse (Ethan Hawke), and the Frenchwoman Celine (Julie Delphy), meet on a train travelling across Europe and spend a magical night together in Vienna before parting at dawn. Filmed in nine-year intervals, the film’s sequels Before Sunset (2004) and Before Midnight (2013) forge an unexpected trilogy brimming with longing, second chances and resentments as the couple meet again and build a relationship.Lucas Hilderbrand reflects on the experience of falling in love with, living with and having one’s own life shaped by the Before trilogy. Tracing the story of the films’ production, he considers the contribution of the leading actors, particularly Delphy, to their screenplays. He offers a close reading of each of the Before films, considering the extent to which they operate beyond the generic norms of romantic comedy or melodrama, incorporating aspects of realism and emotional authenticity through their location shooting, long takes and near-real time temporality. Treating the films as time capsules of their respective historical moments, Hilderbrand considers how evolving politics and technologies impact or interrupt the characters’ intimacy, while placing the trilogy in conversation with other films. All the while, he pays attention to the trilogy’s subjective impact on viewers across its eighteen-year timespan – and its continuing afterglow.

“My visions were of shipwreck and famine; of death or captivity among barbarian hordes; of a lifetime dragged out in sorrow and tears, upon some gray and desolate rock, in an ocean unapproachable and unknown.”In his only novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket (1838), Edgar Allan Poe carries his knack for the mysterious and macabre, spilt blood and cryptic messages onto the South Seas.

“Truly a great book—unique, invaluable and unapproachable as the gold standard of the genre… Bemelmans got there first, more frequently, and better.” —Anthony Bourdain  Acerbic, colorful, and spirited stories from a bygone era: behind the scenes in a grand NY hotel, from the author of the Madeline books Picture David Sedaris writing Kitchen Confidential about the Ritz in New York in the 1920s, which had the style and charm of The Grand Budapest Hotel…In this charming and uproariously funny hotel memoir, Ludwig Bemelmans uncovers the fabulous world of the Hotel Splendide—the thinly disguised stand-in for the Ritz—a luxury New York hotel where he worked as a waiter in the 1920s. With equal parts affection and barbed wit, he uncovers the everyday chaos that reigns behind the smooth facades of the gilded dining room and banquet halls. In hilarious detail, Bemelmans sketches the hierarchy of hotel life and its strange and fascinating inhabitants: from the ruthlessly authoritarian maître d''hôtel Monsieur Victor to the kindly waiter Mespoulets to Frizl the homesick busboy. Illustrated with his own charming line drawings, Bemelmans'' tales of a bygone era of extravagance are as charming as they are riotously entertaining. “[Bemelmans] was the original bad boy of the NY hotel/restaurant subculture, a waiter, busboy, and restaurateur who “told all” in a series of funny and true (or very near true) autobiographical accounts of backstairs folly, excess, borderline criminality, and madness in the grande Hotel Splendide… If you like stories about old New York as I do, this classic will have you laughing out loud.” –Anthony Bourdain

Puberta – vzrušující, ale pro spoustu dětí i velice těžké období. Prochází mnoha změnami a obzvlášť potřebují trpělivost a důvěru svých rodičů. Udržet při výchově dospívajících rovnováhu mezi otevřenou myslí (mindfulness) a vřelým srdcem přitom vůbec není snadné. Kniha Eline Snelové vám pomůže zachovat klid. Z přiloženého CD si můžete poslechnout dvě sady cvičení mindfulness – jedna je určena rodičům a jedna dospívajícím dětem (13–19 let). Naučíte se například: pozorovat a nehodnotit čelit stresu přijímat krize s vřelostí soucítit se sebou samými důvěřovat svým dětem i sami sobě Prostřednictvím mindfulness se dokážete spojit se všemi radostmi i strastmi, konflikty i přátelstvím, které prožíváte se svým dítětem, aniž byste přitom museli něco řešit, na všechno okamžitě reagovat nebo se museli snažit, aby všechno vypadalo navenek lépe, než tomu ve skutečnosti je. Knížka navazuje na první díl, Klidně a pozorně jako žabka, který učí děti a rodiče, jak čas od času umět zmáčknout tlačítko PAUZA.

Euforie je fiktivním záznamem posledního roku života Sylvie Plathové, končící dva měsíce před její smrtí. V první osobě vypráví o střetu intelektuálních potřeb s mateřskými povinnostmi, o lásce k dětem a životní potřebě psaní i o závislosti na manželovi, básníku Tedu Hughesovi, která ji ubíjí. Sylvia, "uvězněná" ve venkovském domě a ve svém stále cizejším těle nesoucím nový život, prožívá se zničující silou lásku i žárlivost, euforii i zoufalství a přitom postupuje krok za krokem po cestě, jejíž konec je všeobecně známý. V Euforii ho však nenajdete. Je to román oslavující Sylvii živoucí, vášnivou a tvůrčí. Elin Cullhedová stvořila naprosto přesvědčivý literární hlas - výsledkem je strhující román, v němž se mnozí poznají a nikoho nenechá chladným. Kniha získala hlavní švédskou literární cenu - Augustovu cena za beletrii 2021.

A luminous portrayal of a brilliant mind who is at once at battle with herself and with the constraints that society has placed on her.A woman''s life, erupting with brilliance and promise, is fissured by betrayal and the pressures of duty. What had once seemed a pastoral family idyll has become a trap, and she struggles between being the wife and mother she is bound to be and wanting to do and be so much more.The woman in question is Sylvia Plath in the final year of her life, reimagined in fictive form by Elin Cullhed, who seizes the flame of Plath''s blistering, creative fire in Euphoria, lending a voice to women everywhere who stand with one foot in domesticity and the other in artistic creation.As Plath''s marriage to Ted Hughes unravels through the heady days of their first summer in Devon together, Sylvia turns increasingly to writing to express her pain and loss, yet also her resilience and power. She has decided to die, but the art she creates in her final weeks will set her name, and the world, ablaze.

“How to Be Hopeful is a beautifully executed explanation of why hope is so needed in the environmental space.”—Leah Thomas, author of The Intersectional Environmentalist"Kelsey''s nourishing work reminds us that being human and managing complex emotions is a part of the process in healing the Earth and sprouting hope around the world."—Isaias Hernandez, @QueerBrownVegan“Are you hopeful?” That is the question elin kelsey is most often asked when she speaks to young people about the emotions and anxiety wrought by the climate crisis. How to Be Hopeful is kelsey’s answer, an inspiring exploration of hope as an active, evidence-based response to climate change and environmental degradation. Hope is not merely a passive feeling but an active choice, a stance that must be nurtured despite the ever-present sense of despair and hopelessness that often accompanies the state of the world.Through personal reflections, scientific insights, and practical exercises, How to Be Hopeful emphasizes emotional awareness, community collaboration, and the agency of both humans and non-human species. Some of the practices described in the book include:Accepting your fears without fatalismSourcing solutions-focused news and tracking positive trendsActing from your unique giftsPracticing interspecies etiquetteGathering strength from your circles of supportA seminal contribution to the field of environmental justice, How to Be Hopeful empowers readers to confront their own emotional landscapes, engage in collective action, envision a sustainable future, and ultimately, cultivate a hopeful and resilient response to the pressing issues of our time.

If people were planets, we''d be a lot like Earth ...People are nature. From the water we drink to the trees we climb, we are connected to the natural world in big and surprising ways. With simple, poetic text, and exquisite artwork, You Are Stardust introduces kids to these connections - sparking their imaginations and starting conversations. Combining the ideas of environmental author and educator Elin Kelsey with inventive, three-dimensional dioramas by artist Soyeon Kim, this remarkable picture book reveals ties that are often sensed, yet seldom explained. Children will learn that the salt in their body is the same as the salt in the ocean, that they learned to speak in the same way that baby birds do - by copying their parents, and that elephants, bats and whales make friends, just like they do. In a world dominated by technology, never have these connections between people and nature been more worth exploring.

'Simply unforgettable' ELIF SHAFAK'Terrific' THE TIMES'Incredible' PETER FRANKOPAN'Powerful and charming' FINANCIAL TIMES'Utterly compelling' PHILIPPE SANDS'Masterly' TELEGRAPH'Ingenious' KAMILA SHAMSIE'A must-read' SUNDAY TIMES'Beautiful' RORY STEWARTIn 1969, the luxury Hotel Inter-Continental Kabul opened its doors: a glistening white box, high on a hill, that reflected Afghanistan’s hopes of becoming a modern country, connected to the world. Lyse Doucet first checked into the Inter-Continental on Christmas Eve 1988. In the decades since, she has witnessed a Soviet evacuation, a devastating civil war, the US invasion, and the rise, fall and rise of the Taliban, all from within its increasingly battered walls. The Inter-Con has never closed its doors. Now, she weaves together the experiences of the Afghans who have kept the hotel running to craft a richly immersive history of their country. It is the story of Hazrat, the septuagenarian housekeeper who still holds fast to his Inter-Continental training from the hotel’s 1970s glory days – an era of haute cuisine and high fashion, when Afghanistan was a kingdom and Kabul was the ‘Paris of Central Asia’. Of Abida, who became the first female chef after the fall of the Taliban in 2001. And of Malalai and Sadeq, the twenty-somethings who seized every opportunity offered by two decades of fragile democracy – only to see the Taliban come roaring back in 2021. Through these intimate portraits of Afghan life, the story of a hotel becomes the story of a people. 'Fabulous . . . A cross between the novel A Gentleman in Moscow and Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel.' THE TIMES'The Finest Hotel in Kabul plays to all Lyse Doucet’s strengths.

Krušnohorský nábytek je vyráběn v malé truhlářské dílně ve městě Ostrov ležícím přímo na úpatí Krušných hor, 15 km pod ikonickou obcí Boží Dar . Dřevo, hlavně smrkové a borovicové , je těženo v souladu s nejpřísnějšími ekologickými normami přímo v Krušných horách. Díky tomu je zcela minimální uhlíková stopa a dřevo putuje k našim truhlářským mistrům do dílny skutečně jen několik málo kilometrů na rozdíl od nábytku z Číny či jiných vzdálených krajin. Truhláři si každý kousek pečlivě vybírají a pak z nich tvoří velmi kvalitní a bytelné vyvýšené záhony , květináče a další zahradní nábytek či zahradní dekorace .

Hmyzí hotel Mezi nejčastější obyvatele hmyzích hotelů patří samotářské včely, které patří mezi vyznamné opylovače. Kromě včelek samotářek zde můžete najít úkryt i motýli a pestřenky, jejichž larvy likvidují škodlivý hmyz. Další obyvatelé, jako jsou zlatoočka, berušky a škvoři , požírají škodlivý hmyz, především mšice. Na větší plochu doporučujeme umístit více hotelů. Proč mít hmyzí hotel? Hmyz nám pomáhá s likvidací škůdců (mšice atd), zvláště tehdy, pokud se chceme vyhnout chemickým přípravkům . Lidé si také mnohdy neuvědomují, že bez hmyzích opylovačů bychom se ani nedočkali velké úrody . Většina ovocných stromů, ale potřebuje ke svému opylení hmyz. Kam hmyzí hotel umístit? Výš od země, nejlépe na strom, nebo zeď. Na jižní stranu, kde bude chráněn proti dešti a větru. Rozměry - Výška: 32 cm - Šířka: 16 cm - Hloubka: 9 cm Doba dodání do maximálně 2 pracovních dnů .
