The Art of Japanese Architecture presents a complete overview of Japanese architecture in its historical and cultural context. The book begins with a discussion of early prehistoric dwellings and concludes with a description of works by important modern Japanese architects. Along the way it discusses the iconic buildings and architectural styles for which Japan is so justly famous—from elegant Shinden and Sukiya aristocratic villas like the Kinkakuji "Golden Pavilion" in Kyoto, to imposing Samurai castles like Himeji and Matsumoto, and tranquil Zen Buddhist gardens and tea houses to rural Minka thatched-roof farmhouses and Shinto shrines. Each period in the development of Japan''s architecture is described in detail and the most important structures are shown and discussed—including dozens of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The aesthetic trends in each period are presented within the context of Japanese society at the time, providing a unique in-depth understanding of the way Japanese architectural styles and buildings have developed over time and the great variety that is visible today. The book is profusely illustrated with hundreds of hand-drawn 3D watercolor illustrations and color photos as well as prints, maps and diagrams.

Pokud jde o to, čemu věříme, lidé vidí to, co chtějí vidět. Jinými slovy, máme to, čemu Julia Galefová říká "vojenské" myšlení. Od kmenového myšlení a zbožných přání až po racionalizaci v osobním životě a všechno mezi tím, jsme nuceni bránit myšlenky, kterým chceme nejvíce věřit - a sestřelovat ty, kterým nevěříme. Pokud však chceme mít častěji pravdu, měl bychom se podle Galefa vycvičit ve "skautském" myšlení. Na rozdíl od vojáka není cílem průzkumníka hájit jednu stranu na úkor druhé. Je jít ven, prozkoumat území a vrátit se s co nejpřesnější mapou. Bez ohledu na to, v co doufá, chce zvěd především vědět, co je skutečně pravda. V knize The Scout Mindset Galef ukazuje, že to, co dělá skauty lepšími v tom, aby věci zjistili správně, není to, že jsou chytřejší nebo znalejší než ostatní. Je to hrstka emočních dovedností, návyků a způsobů pohledu na svět - které se může naučit každý. Na fascinujících příkladech, od toho, jak přežít uvíznutí uprostřed oceánu, přes to, jak se Jeff Bezos vyhýbá přehnané sebedůvěře, přes to, jak superprognostici překonávají agenty CIA, až po vlákna na Redditu a moderní stranickou politiku, Galef zkoumá, proč nás náš mozek klame a co můžeme udělat pro to, ...

This book argues for a new articulation of the ways in which transgression is theorized in contemporary literature by Japanese women.Exploring the rhetorical and discursive mechanics of literary “bad girls” from fiction produced during the millennial turn (1990–2010), the book contends that women writers today deploy truant, unruly, restless, and aggressive female protagonists not to challenge the status quo but rather to reaffirm it. While Japanese women’s fiction has long been invested in cultivating an uncomfortable politics of opposition through “unladylike” themes such as sex, sexuality, and violence, the book argues that today authors turn to such acts of defiance to quietly advocate for the primacy of Japanese social order. Showing how transgression has not only lost its political and disruptive valence in contemporary women’s fiction, this book further reveals how discourses of dissent can be retooled to promote a conservative worldview.A fascinating literary analysis which reads Japanese literature in relation to the receding value of rebellion today, this book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese literature, gender, and cultural studies.

Dr Whybray''s volume, like the others in the series, contains the text in the New English Bible translation, with introductory material preceding, and a commentary directly following, each section of text.Dr Whybray describes the ancient near-eastern tradition of producing collections of ''wisdom'': instructions in the form of aphorisms and proverbs for the education of the young for a happy and successful career. He indicates the dependence of Proverbs on this tradition, but also points out how the Israelite authors modified it. The book contains three kinds of material: sections whose form and character are hardly distinguishable from the instructions of Egypt and Mesopotamia; others where, in spite of a more specifically Israelite dress, the aim remains the achievement of the successful life; and finally passages in which the main purpose has now become the pursuit of a wisdom which is in entire conformation with the ''fear of the Lord''.

The book includes notes, historical and social, and comparisons with sayings in different languages.Alexander Nicolson, one of the best scholars of his day, has gathered together a wide-ranging collection covering such diverse topics as women and marriage, wise men and fools, friendship and courage, and poverty and wealth. The proverbs appear in Gaelic along with the English translation, carefully preserving the pith of the original. These sayings, which as Nicolson remarks in his Preface, ’come from thatched cottages and not baronial and academic halls’, reflect keen intelligence and a distinct sense of humour.
