Thinking, Fast and Slow - Daniel Kahneman

One of the most influential books of the 21st century: the ground-breaking psychology classic - over 10 million copies sold - that changed the way we think about thinking''There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality, but only one masterpiece. That masterpiece is Thinking, Fast and Slow'' Financial Times''A lifetime''s worth of wisdom'' Steven D. Levitt, co-author of FreakonomicsWhy do we make the decisions we do? Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman revolutionised our understanding of human behaviour with Thinking, Fast and Slow. Distilling his life''s work, Kahneman showed that there are two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. His book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error, bias and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical) and gives practical techniques that enable us all to improve our decision-making. This profound exploration of the marvels and limitations of the human mind has had a lasting impact on how we see ourselves.''The godfather of behavioural science ... his steely analysis of the human mind and its many flaws remains perhaps the most useful guide to remaining sane and steady'' Sunday Times

In Tits Up, bestselling author, sociologist and journalist Sarah Thornton asks how is it that we look at breasts so much, but reflect on them so little.It was after Sarah underwent a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery that she found herself considering how we think about breasts, and what that tells us about ourselves.

This Time for Me - Alexandra Billings

An emotional, funny, and fabulous memoir by trailblazing and award-winning Trans actor and activist Alexandra Billings.Born in 1962, Alexandra Billings grew up in a decade in which being herself was illegal. When she started transitioning in 1980, the word “Transgender” was not commonly used. With no Trans role models and no path to follow, Alexandra did what her family, teachers, and even friends said was impossible: Alexandra forged ahead.Spanning five decades, from profound lows to exhilarating highs, This Time for Me captures the events of a pioneering life. An award-winning actor and history-making LGBTQ and HIV/AIDS activist, Alexandra shares not only her own ever-evolving story but also the parallel ways in which queer identity has dramatically changed since the Stonewall riots of 1969. She weaves a true coming-of-age story of richly imaginative lies, of friends being swept away by a plague that decimated the community, of her determination to establish a career that would break boundaries, and of the recognition of her own power.A celebration of endless possibilities, Alexandra’s bracing memoir is a fight-to-the-death revolution against all expectations.

Portrét Alexandra - Jonáš Jasen

Ako kvapky vody sú poviedky, z ktorých pozostáva Portrét Alexandra. Každá zrkadlí vlastný príbeh, ale spolu vytvárajú prúd spoločného plynutia času od konca devätnásteho storočia až po súčasnosť. Čas vo vnútri jednotlivých textov sa neraz skrúti do protipohybu, vráti na scénu vedľajšiu postavu alebo inak zmieša prítomnosť s minulosťou — barónsku nadradenosť s tajomstvom falzifikátu, víťaza prvých motocyklových pretekov s jeho poslednou milenkou, podvedeného emigranta s budúcim premiérom či amputovanú nohu s Van Goghovým odrezaným uchom.To hlavné je však rozprávanie o ubiehaní Alexandrovho života, ktorý koreňmi čiastočne siaha do vymretého aristokratického rodu, on sám je však priemerný človek dneška, ktorý nič významné nedosiahol, hoci sa o to pokúšal. Aj preto nostalgická konfrontácia toho akí sme boli, o čom sme snívali, s tým, čo sme urobili a kam sme dospeli, je v knihe neustále prítomná.Portrét Alexandra je fragmentárny neromán o pominuteľnosti a o náhodách, ktoré sa stávajú osudom. Je mozaikou skomponovanou z rozhodujúcich okamihov Alexandrovho života, ktorým často nerozumel, keď sa mu diali, z jeho najintímnejších spomienok, ale aj z toho, čo sám nezažil, z paralelných príbehov ľudí, ktorí mu skrížili cestu.

Heaven's My Destination - Thornton Wilder

“If John Steinbeck’s mighty Grapes of Wrath is the tragic novel of the Great Depression, then Heaven’s My Destination is its comic masterpiece. —J.D. McClatchyA hilarious tale about goodness in a fallen world, Heaven’s My Destination introduces George Marvin Brush, one of Thornton Wilder''s most memorable characters. Brush, a traveling textbook salesman, is a fervent religious convert who is determined to lead a good life.

The Adventures of Mr. Mocker - Thornton W. Burgess

The adventures of Mr. Mocker is written by Thornton W. Burgess. To bring joy and gladness to the Green Meadows and the Green Forest, the Laughing Brook, and the Smiling Pool, Mistress Spring begins from far to the South. Winsome Bluebird goes just a little way ahead of her, for he is the herald of Mistress Spring. When all the other little people in feathers had flown to that faraway country, then did this friend of Ol' Mistah Buzzard make up his mind that he would go too. He didn't say anything about it to anyone, but he just started off by himself. Uncle Billy Possum and Mr. Mocker had a moonlight party in the Green Forest. When they heard about it, they became anxious to see the stranger with the wonderful voice. Peter Rabbit followed him around just to hear him fool others by making his voice sound like theirs. When he learned that some people believed Mr. Mocker had not obtained his voice honestly, Ol' Mistah Buzzard chuckled.

Our Town and Other Plays - Thornton Wilder

Finding the theatre of the 1920s lacking in bite and conviction, Thornton Wilder set out to bring back realism and to celebrate the innocent, simple and religious. Yet he also tried to endow individual experience with cosmic significance and Our Town is both an affectionate portrait of American life and ''an attempt to find a value above all price for the smallest events in our daily life''. The Skin of our Teeth deals with human survival in a ''comic strip'' way, and The Matchmaker is a hilarious farce which urges rebellion against all the constraints that deny a rich, full life.

Virginia Woolfová - Alexandra Harrisová

Virginia Woolfová patří k literárním ikonám dvacátého století: málokdo měl na vývoj moderní prózy větší vliv než ona. Proč tomu tak je, ukazuje výmluvně přední britská kulturní historička Alexandra Harrisová. Její nové biografii Virginie Woolfové se v anglofonních zemích dostalo nadšeného kritického přijetí i mimořádného čtenářského ohlasu, zejména díky autorčině schopnosti barvitě a srozumitelně vykreslit Woolfové život i dobu a skrze živý detail přiblížit její geniální literární dílo. Těm, kdož Woolfovou neznají, nabízí Alexandra Harrisová čtivý úvod do spisovatelčina díla, znalcům modernistické spisovatelky pak neotřelé a novátorské interpretace jejích velkých děl, založené na důkladné znalosti předmětu. Alexandra Harrisová (1981) vystudovala anglistiku na Oxfordu; v současnosti přednáší na University of Liverpool. Kritická biografie Virginie Woolfové je její druhou knihou; její literárněhistorický debut Romantic Moderns získal řadu ocenění, mj. prestižní cenu The Guardian First Book Award za rok 2010.

From leading educational researcher Ron Ritchhart, a deep dive that illuminates what the foundational mindsets needed to create cultures of thinking really looks like in action. Building on the framework presented in the best-selling Creating Cultures of Thinking, Ron Ritchhart’s new book, Cultures of Thinking in Action, takes the next step in helping readers not only understand how a culture of thinking looks and feels, but also how to create it for themselves and their learners.

Teaching Creative Thinking - Bill Lucas, Ellen Spencer

Teaching Creative Thinking: Developing Learners Who Generate Ideas and Can Think Critically defines and demystifies the essence of creative thinking, and offers action-oriented and research-informed suggestions as to how it can best be developed in learners. Where once it was enough to know and do things, young people now need more than subject knowledge in order to thrive: they need capabilities. Teaching Creative Thinking is the first title in the three-part Pedagogy for a Changing World series, founded upon Lucas and Spencer''s philosophy of dispositional teaching a pedagogical approach which aims to cultivate in learners certain dispositions that evidence suggests are going to be valuable to them both at school and in later life. A key capability is creative thinking, and, in 2021, one of the guardians of global comparative standards, PISA, is recognising its importance by making creative thinking the ''innovative assessment domain'' to supplement their testing of 15-year-olds'' core capabilities in English, maths and science. Creative thinkers are inquisitive, collaborative, imaginative, persistent and disciplined and schools which foster these habits of mind in learners need to be creative in engaging children and young people by embedding creativity into their everyday educational experiences.

Portrét Alexandra (978-80-8237-014-3)

Kniha - autor Jonáš Jasen, 320 stran, slovensky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Ako kvapky vody sú poviedky, z ktorých pozostáva Portrét Alexandra. Každá zrkadlí vlastný príbeh, ale spolu vytvárajú prúd spoločného plynutia času od konca devätnásteho storočia až po súčasnosť. Čas vo vnútri jednotlivých textov sa neraz skrúti do protipohybu, vráti na scénu vedľajšiu postavu alebo inak zmieša prítomnosť s minulosťou — barónsku nadradenosť s tajomstvom falzifikátu, víťaza prvých motocyklových pretekov s jeho poslednou milenkou, podvedeného emigranta s budúcim premiérom či amputovanú nohu s Van Goghovým odrezaným uchom. To hlavné je však rozprávanie o ubiehaní Alexandrovho života, ktorý koreňmi čiastočne siaha do vymretého aristokratického rodu, on sám je však priemerný človek dneška, ktorý nič významné nedosiahol, hoci sa o to pokúšal. Aj preto nostalgická konfrontácia toho akí sme boli, o čom sme snívali, s tým, čo sme urobili a kam sme dospeli, je v knihe neustále...

Číhat na mech - Alexandra Brocková

Básnická sbírka Alexandry Brockové Číhat na mech je sebevědomým debutem. Promyšleně komponovaná kniha nenápadně vrací do současné české poezie vysoký básnický styl. Brocková ráda střídá pestré formální rejstříky: od vznešeného patosu k „mileniálsky“ potutelné větě. Nebojí se spájet vysoké s nízkým, jistou „učenost“ s rozpustilostí, pozorování nepostřehnutelných dějů a bytostí, rostlin, ptactva i živlů s precizní básnickou formou. Brocková mluví za věci i živé bytosti, nikdy není povýšená, vždy je účastná. Lidstvo vnímá jako jednoho z mnoha tvorů obývajících Zemi a s delikátní ironií glosuje jeho absurdní hemžení. Jako by v jejím pohledu současná civilizace byla přehlídkou zvolna se rozpadajících památek-ruin, o kterých autorka jako užaslý cestovatel podává zprávu. V poezii Alexandry Brockové je možné zakusit to, co Petr Král nazýval „rozdýcháním vjemu“ – schopnost rozehrát zjitřený počitek či stav, který se při čtení doslova rozklene před očima.
