Kamenné kruhy evokují zaniklý svět druidských astronomů. Pro archeology i amatérské nadšence je účel těchto staveb už dlouho předmětem dohadů. Nejproslulejším z kruhů je Stonehenge v Anglii, expert na megality Hugh Newman však ukazuje, že tyto úžasné architektonické památky můžeme najít po celém světě - v Evropě, v Africe, Asii i na americkém kontinentu. V tomto jedinečném průvodci po kamenných kruzích autor zkoumá, jak byly vytvořeny, co pro lidi své doby znamenaly a jak je jejich konstrukce sladěna s krajinou, Sluncem, Měsícem a hvězdami. Je to nepostradatelná knížka o úchvatné starobylé architektuře.

There are many ways prospective authors routinely sabotage their own work. But why leave it to guesswork? Misstep by misstep, How Not to Write a Novel shows how you can ensure that your manuscript never rises above the level of unpublishable drivel; that your characters are unpleasant, dimensionless versions of yourself; that your plot is digressive, tedious and unconvincing; and that your style is reliant on mangled clichés and sesquipedalian malapropisms. Alternatively, you can use it to identify the most common mistakes, avoid them and actually write a book that works.Guardian Award shortlisted novelist Sandra Newman and veteran editor Howard Mittelmark have distilled 30 years of teaching, editing, writing and reviewing fiction into a hilarious and liberating guide that is the perfect read for anyone who''s ever laughed at a badly written piece of prose and for anyone who''s ever penned one - and doesn''t want to do it again.

From award-winning historian Robin Lane Fox, Alexander the Great searches through the mass of conflicting evidence and legend to focus on Alexander as a man of his own time. Tough, resolute, fearless, Alexander was a born warrior and ruler of passionate ambition who understood the intense adventure of conquest and of the unknown. When he died in 323 BC aged thirty-two, his vast empire comprised more than two million square miles, spanning from Greece to India. His achievements were unparalleled - he had excelled as leader to his men, founded eighteen new cities and stamped the face of Greek culture on the ancient East. The myth he created is as potent today as it was in the ancient world. Combining historical scholarship and acute psychological insight, Alexander the Great brings this colossal figure vividly to life. ''So enjoyable and well-written ...

Herbert Ponting (1870-1935) was young bank clerk when he bought an early Kodak compact camera. By the early 1900s, he was living in California, working as a professional photographer, known for stereoview and enlarged images of America, Japan and the Russo-Japanese war. In 1909, back in Britain, Ponting was recruited by Captain Robert Scott as photographer and filmmaker for his second Antarctic expedition. In 1913, following the deaths of Scott and his South Pole party companions, Ponting’s images of Antarctica were widely published, and he gave innovative ‘cinema-lectures’ on the expedition. When war broke out, Ponting’s offers to serve as a photographer or correspondent were declined, but in 1918 he, Ernest Shackleton and other Antarctic veterans joined a government-backed Arctic expedition. During the economically depressed 1920s and 1930s, Ponting wrote his Antarctic memoir, re-worked his Antarctic films into silent and ‘talkie’ versions and worked on inventions. Like others, he struggled financially but was sustained by correspondence with photographic equipment magnate George Eastman, a late-life romance with singer Glae Carrodus and knowing that his images of Antarctica had secured his place in photographic and filmmaking history.

Like Jared Diamond''s Guns, Germs and Steel, Clive Ponting''s book studies the relationship between the environment and human history. It examines world civilisations from Sumeria to ancient Egypt, from Easter Island to the Roman Empire and it argues that human beings have repeatedly built societies that have grown and prospered by exploiting the Earth''s resources, only to expand to the point where those resources could no longer sustain the societies'' populations and cause subsequent collapse. This new edition of Clive Ponting''s international bestseller has been revised, expanded and updated. It provides not only a compelling story of how we have damaged the environment for thousands of years but also an up-to-the-minute assessment of the crisis facing the world today - and the problems that have to be addressed in the search for solutions.

From filmmaker, former Fangoria editor-in-chief, and Corman/Poe author Chris Alexander comes ART! TRASH! TERROR! Adventures in Strange Cinema, a treasure trove of in-depth essays and edifying interviews that celebrate some of the most eccentric and unforgettable movies in cult cinema history. From recognised classics (George A. Romero''s Dawn Of The Dead , David Lynch''s The Elephant Man) to misunderstood masterpieces (Michael Mann''s The Keep , Boris Sagal''s The Omega Man) to unfairly maligned curios (Kostas Karagiannis'' Land Of The Minotaur, Brett Leonard''s Hideaway), the author takes an alternately serious and playful but always personal look at several strains of international horror, dark fantasy, and exploitation film - motion pictures that transform, transgress, challenge, infuriate, shock, and entertain. Connecting these passionate and critical essays are insightful interviews with revered talents, such as John Waters (writer/director, Cecil B. Demented), Michael Winner (director, The Sentinel), Nicolas Cage (actor, Vampire''s Kiss), Gene Simmons (co-founder/bassist, KISS), William Crain (director, Blacula), William Lustig (director, Maniac), Werner Herzog (director, Nosferatu: Phantom Der Nacht) and many more, as well as witty, heartfelt memoirs charming the author''s oddball experiences on the fringes of Hollywood and beyond.

With his 1954 book The Nature of Prejudice, American psychologist Gordon Allport displays the crucial skill of reasoning, producing and organizing an argument that was persuasive enough to have a major impact not only in universities, but also on government policy. The question that Allport tackled was an old one: why are people so disposed to prejudice against those from other groups? Earlier psychologists had suggested a number of reasons, especially in the case of racial prejudice. Some had suggested that racism was a learned behaviour, conditioned by negative experiences of other races; others that there was an objective rationale to negative racial stereotypes. Allport, however, reasoned that prejudice is essentially a by-product of the necessary mental shortcuts the human brain uses to process the vast amount of information it takes in. Because our brains want to use as little effort as possible, they regularly fall back on simple stereotypes – which easily generate prejudice. Gathering strong evidence for this hypothesis, he reasoned, clearly and persuasively, that our natural cognitive approach is the most significant factor in accounting for prejudice. Going further still, Allport also reasoned that, once this was better understood, social scientists would be able to influence policy-makers ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Znovuobjevené paměti možná největší filmové hvězdy naší doby. Muže, kterého mnozí obdivovali, ale málokdo ho skutečně znal.„Tato kniha vznikla ze snahy vysvětlit vše mým dětem. Chci po sobě zanechat nějaký záznam, který uvede věci na pravou míru, naruší mýty, které kolem mě vznikly, zničí některé legendy a udrží piraně v uctivé vzdálenosti. Něco, co by s určitou přesností zaznamenalo dobu, kdy jsem byl na této planetě. Protože to, co existuje v záznamech teď, nemá vůbec nic společného s pravdou. To je vše, o co mi jde.“—Paul NewmanV roce 1986 se Paul Newman a jeho nejbližší přítel, scenárista Stewart Stern, pustili do ambiciózního projektu. Stern měl sestavit orální historii a požádat Newmanovu rodinu, přátele a ty, kteří s ním úzce spolupracovali, aby vyprávěli o hercově životě. Newman pak měl ve spolupráci se Sternem nabídnout svou verzi příběhu. Jedinou podmínkou bylo, že každý, kdo promluví na záznam, musí být naprosto upřímný. Stejná podmínka platila i pro samotného Newmana. Projekt trval pět let.Výsledkem jsou výjimečné paměti, které byly vybrány z tisíců stran přepisů, jež byly teprve nedávno znovu objeveny. Newmanův hlas je někdy vtipný, někdy bolestný, vždy však především pravdivý. Další hlasy, které se v knize objevují – přátelé z dětství a kamarádi ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Why isn''t wood weaker that it is? Why isn''t steel stronger? Why does glass sometimes shatter and sometimes bend like spring? Why do ships break in half? What is a liquid and is treacle one? All these are questions about the nature of materials. All of them are vital to engineers but also fascinating as scientific problems. During the 250 years up to the 1920s and 1930s they had been answered largely by seeing how materials behaved in practice. But materials continued to do things that they "ought" not to have done. Only in the last 40 years have these questions begun to be answered by a new approach. Material scientists have started to look more deeply into the make-up of materials. They have found many surprises; above all, perhaps, that how a material behaves depends on how perfectly - or imperfectly - its atoms are arranged. Using both SI and imperial units, Professor Gordon''s account of material science is a demonstration of the sometimes curious and entertaining ways in which scientists isolate and solve problems.

Building on Robin Alexander’s landmark Towards Dialogic Teaching, this book shows how and why the dialogic approach has a positive impact on student engagement and learning. It sets out the evidence, examines the underpinning ideas and issues, and offers guidance and resources for the planning, implementation and review of effective dialogic teaching in a wide range of educational settings.Dialogic teaching harnesses the power of talk to engage students’ interest, stimulate their thinking, advance their understanding, expand their ideas and build and evaluate argument, empowering them for lifelong learning and for social and democratic engagement. Drawing on extensive published research as well as the high-profile, 5000-student trial and independent evaluation of Alexander’s distinctive approach to dialogic teaching in action, this book: Presents the case for treating talk as not merely incidental to teaching and learning but as an essential tool of education whose exploitation and development require understanding and skill; Explores questions of definition and conceptualisation in the realms of dialogue, argumentation and dialogic teaching, revealing the similarities and differences between the main approaches; Discusses evidence that has enriched the debate about classroom talk in relation to oracy, argumentation, student voice and philosophy for children as well as dialogic teaching itself; ...
