Kdo to byl Michail Čechov? Jaká byla jeho divadelní metoda? Jaké prvky přenesl do své metody a pedagogiky ze svého původního působení v Moskevském uměleckém divadle a z technik Konstantina Stanislavského? Jakým způsobem tyto techniky upravil a rozšířil při výuce herectví na školách, které vedl v britském Dartingtonu a později v americkém Ridgefieldu? Jaké nové aspekty při vývoji metody, která nese jeho jméno a díky níž se kultivuje americké herectví již dlouhá desetiletí, připojil? Jakou roli v procesu učení se této metodě hrají jeho publikace a pedagogická tradice, kterou dál předávali jeho studenti? V čem spočívá přetrvávající vliv a důležitost jeho pedagogiky? - Na tyto otázky se pokouší odpovědět česko-americká herečka a pedagožka Lenka Pichlíková-Burke. Po studiích na pražské DAMU a slibně se rozvíjející herecké kariéře v českém divadle, filmu a televizi se autorka knihy na počátku 80. let vydala do USA, kde se vedle dalšího hereckého školení věnovala i studiu pantomimy u slavného francouzského mima Marcela Marceaua. Od té doby spojuje vlastní uměleckou práci s pedagogickou: přednáší na Fairfieldské univerzitě v Connecticutu a jako specialistka na hereckou pedagogiku působí i na Purchase College při Státní univerzitě v New Yorku.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLERThe gruffest man in hockey opens up about the challenges, the feuds, and the tragedies he''s fought through.Brian Burke is one of the biggest personalities in the media landscape. His brashness makes him a magnet for attention, and he does nothing to shy away from it. Most famous for advocating "pugnacity, truculence, testosterone, and belligerence" during his tenure with the Maple Leafs, Burke has lived and breathed hockey his whole life. He has been a player, an agent, a league executive, a scout, a Stanley Cup-winning GM, an Olympic GM, and a media analyst. He has worked with Pat Quinn, Gary Bettman, and an array of future Hall of Fame players. But there is more to Brian Burke than hockey. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School, and an accomplished businessman with hard-earned lessons that come from highly scrutinized decisions made at the helm of multi-million-dollar companies. And despite his brusque persona on camera and in the boardroom, he is nevertheless a father with a story to tell. He lost his youngest son in a car accident, and has had to grapple with that grief, even in the glare of the spotlight. Many Canadians and hockey fans ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Although many of Edmund Burke''s speeches and writings contain prominent economic dimensions, his economic thought seldom receives the attention it warrants. Commerce and Manners in Edmund Burke''s Political Economy stands as the most comprehensive study to date of this fascinating subject. In addition to providing rigorous textual analysis, Collins unearths previously unpublished manuscripts and employs empirical data to paint a rich historical and theoretical context for Burke''s economic beliefs. Collins integrates Burke''s reflections on trade, taxation, and revenue within his understanding of the limits of reason and his broader conception of empire. Such reflections demonstrate the ways that commerce, if properly managed, could be an instrument for both public prosperity and imperial prestige. More importantly, Commerce and Manners in Edmund Burke''s Political Economy raises timely ethical questions about capitalism and its limits. In Burke''s judgment, civilizations cannot endure on transactional exchange alone, and markets require ethical preconditions. There is a grace to life that cannot be bought.

Monografie přináší pohled na sociální pedagogiku jako na historicky zformovaný a aktuálně rozvíjený systém vědy, praxe a profese. Seznamuje čtenáře s klíčovými teoreticko-praktickými koncepty sociální pedagogiky a objasňuje genezi jejího vědního i profesního profilu. V návaznosti na to nastiňuje aktuální rozvoj sociální pedagogiky v ČR a v dalších zemích. Pozornost věnuje procesu socializace a oblastem, ve kterých se rozvíjí sociálně pedagogická praxe - informální výchově, sociokulturní animaci, práci s mládeží, lidovému vzdělávání dospělých, komunitní škole a školní sociální pedagogice. V neposlední řadě objasňuje význam principů, na kterých je založen sociálně pedagogický přístup k práci s lidmi, a seznamuje s profesí sociálního pedagoga v českém i v mezinárodním kontextu. Výběr z posudků: "Předkládaná monografie nemá v České republice obdobu svým obsahovým záměrem ani šíří zpracování znalostní a dovednostní báze dané vědecké oblasti. V kontextu ČR se jedná o práci, která má potenciál stát se základním profilujícím dílem oboru sociální pedagogika a snese srovnání i s významnými mezinárodními publikacemi." doc. Radim Šíp "Kvalitní a tvořivé zpracování monografie prokazuje v plné míře autorčinu kompetentnost a profesionalitu na poli sociální pedagogiky a představuje nejen fundovaný zdroj pro studium sociální pedagogiky, ale především značné obohacení sociálně pedagogického myšlení v Česku." doc.

Světově proslulý román Mistr a Markétka, na němž ruský prozaik a dramatik Michail Bulgakov (1891-1940) začal pracovat koncem dvacátých let a který dokončil, již zcela vyčerpaný a téměř slepý, pouhých několik dní před smrtí, náleží do zlatého fondu světové literatury a je právem považován za jedno z nejpozoruhodnějších literárních děl 20. století. Ačkoli se začalo rodit již téměř před sto lety, jde o dílo stále živé - dílo, které čtenářské publikum nepřestává okouzlovat, ba fascinovat již po řadu generací.Mistra a Markétku lze charakterizovat jako mnohovrstevnatou magicko-realistickou fantaskní grotesku zasazenou do veskrze reálných - a z dnešního hlediska zcela absurdních - poměrů, které v Sovětském svazu panovaly na přelomu dvacátých a třicátých let minulého století. Lze jej číst jako mistrovskou satiru na dobové pořádky, ale také jako důmyslnou variaci na faustovské téma, svéráznou filozofickou alegorii a především jako strhující příběh nikdy nekončícího střetávání dobra se zlem, viny a neviny, odvahy a zbabělosti, který nám skýtá nejen mimořádný čtenářský zážitek, ale také nás ponouká k tomu, abychom spolu s autorem hledali odpovědi na základní otázky lidského bytí.Michail Bulgakov se vydání svého vrcholného díla nedočkal, román poprvé vyšel až čtvrtstoletí po jeho smrti, navíc v okleštěné a cenzurované podobě.Kniha vychází v překladu naší ...

Inkluze je tématem rezonujícím nejenom mezi pedagogickými odborníky a profesionály ve školské praxi, ale díky poměrně intenzivní medializaci (v pozitivním i negativním smyslu) se s touto problematikou nepochybně setkala i převážná část veřejnosti. Inkluzivní přístup ve vzdělávání je již popsán v řadě českých publikací, nikoliv ale dostatečně srozumitelným, přehledným a komplexním způsobem.Mezi odborníky proto panují značné rozpaky v otázce porozumění a zejména aplikace tohoto přístupu jak ve školní a mimoškolní edukaci, tak rovněž v širším významu inkluze coby sociálního konceptu.Zcela nevyjasněn zůstává vztah mezi inkluzivní pedagogikou (jako nově se formující pedagogickou disciplínou) a speciální pedagogikou (jako již pevně etablovaným oborem s dlouholetou tradicí v českém školství i v dalších oblastech souvisejících se životem osob s postižením či znevýhodněním, včetně dětí, žáků a studentů se speciálními vzdělávacími potřebami).Kniha nabízí čtenářům vymezení a zpřehlednění oblastí inkluzivní a speciální pedagogiky, kterým se autor dlouhodobě věnuje teoreticky, výzkumně, publikačně i na úrovni přímé praxe, a zejména pak jejich propojení v konceptu inkluzivní speciální pedagogiky.Může být proto přínosná nejenom pro odborníky v oblasti pedagogiky a vzdělávání, sociální práce nebo dalších pomáhajících profesí v akademické sféře i v profesní praxi, ale stejně dobře poslouží jako učebnice pro studenty řady souvisejících oborů (učitelství, sociální práce, psychologie, sociologie, ...

Válka a trest vyšla anglicky v roce 2023 a dočkala se skvělého přijetí ze strany čtenářů i kritiky. Čte se lehce a rychle, a přitom obsahuje bezpočet informací, svědectví z první ruky, postřehů a úvah, které může zprostředkovat jen přímý účastník probíhajících procesů. Kniha, jež se věnuje historii ukrajinsko-ruských vztahů, je v českém veřejném prostoru, jímž se šíří redukované obrazy, zjednodušené pravdy, emoce a obavy, neobyčejně potřebná. Odhaluje dějiny politického, hospodářského i kulturního útlaku Ukrajiny ruskou říší, boří řadu mýtů, obviňuje ruský nacionalismus z války a rozbíjí Putinův imperiální narativ, jímž ospravedlnil svůj brutální útok na Ukrajinu. Michail Zygar popisuje na základě studia literatury, dostupných pramenů a vlastních reportáží dlouhý vývoj Ukrajiny jako kulturně a politicky svébytného regionu, často v přímém konfliktu s Ruskem, až po Sovětským svazem kontrolovaný stát, který ve 30. letech 20. století strašlivě trpěl Stalinovou politikou nuceného hladomoru a poté nacistickou okupací. Popisuje rovněž vývoj Ukrajiny po pádu SSSR, kdy se stala nejprve postsovětským oligarchickým státem a následně státem s rostoucími ekonomickými, kulturními a politickými vazbami na Evropu a USA, a reakci, již tento vývoj vyvolal v Rusku.

''Pain and pleasure are simple ideas, incapable of definition.''In 1757 the 27-year-old Edmund Burke argued that our aesthetic responses are experienced as pure emotional arousal, unencumbered by intellectual considerations. In so doing he overturned the Platonic tradition in aesthetics that had prevailed from antiquity until the eighteenth century, and replaced metaphysics with psychology and even physiology as the basis for the subject. Burke''s theory of beauty encompasses the female form, nature, art, and poetry, and he analyses our delight in sublime effects that thrill and excite us. His revolution in method continues to have repercussions in the aesthetic theories of today, and his revolution in sensibility has paved the way for literary and artistic movements from the Gothic novel through Romanticism, twentieth-century painting, and beyond. In this new edition Paul Guyer conducts the reader through Burke''s Enquiry, focusing on its place in the history of aesthetics and highlighting its innovations, as well as its influence on many subsequent authors from Kant and Schiller to Ruskin and Nietzsche.

Edmund Burke was the dominant political thinker of the last quarter of the eighteenth century in England. His reputation depends less on his role as a practising politician than on his ability to set contemporary problems within a wider context of political theory. Above all, he commented on change. He tried to teach lessons about how change should be managed, what limits should not be transgressed, and what should be reverently preserved. Burke''s generation was much in need of advice on these matters. The Industrial Revolution, the American Revolution, and catastrophically, the French Revolution presented challenges of terrible proportions. They could promise paradise or threaten anarchy. Burke was acutely aware of how high the stakes were. The Reflections on the Revolution in France was a dire warning of the consequences that would follow the mismanagement of change. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Amid the 18th century’s golden generation that included his companions Adam Smith, Samuel Johnson and Edward Gibbon, Burke’s controversial mixture of conservative and subversive theories made him first a marginal figure, and finally a revered theorist – a hero of the Romantics. He warned of the effects of British rule in Ireland, the loss of the American colonies, and most famously, he foresaw the disastrous consequences of revolution in France. This he predicted, would trigger extremism, terror and the atomisation of society – a profound analysis that continues to resonate today.In this absorbing new biography Conservative MP Jesse Norman gives us Burke anew, vividly depicting his dazzling intellect, imagination and empathy against the rich tapestry of 18th century Europe. Burke’s wisdom, Norman shows, applies well beyond the times of empire to the conventional democratic politics practised in Britain and America today. We cannot understand the defects of the modern world, or modern politics, without him.
