Mack - Face to Face - Robert Fleck

Much has been written about Heinz Mack, but this book truly stands out. Recounting his life through the pen of Robert Fleck, the artist himself gives us deep insights into the motivations and goals of his artistic work – almost as if we were sitting in conversation with this fascinating and renowned figure. A world-class artist is at once simple and very complex. On the one hand, a human being, like all of us, on the other, permeated by a web of motifs and ideas that one can scarcely guess at. Based on numerous conversations since 2020, the present volume explores this charged duality in Heinz Mack. We follow the artist closely through his eventful life, from the years of the Second World War to the present day. Like a second voice, original quotes placed in the margin accompany the narrative and lend this unusual biography its unique charm.

Goodbye to All That - Robert Graves

An autobiographical work that describes firsthand the great tectonic shifts in English society following the First World War, Robert Graves''s Goodbye to All That is a matchless evocation of the Great War''s haunting legacy, published in Penguin Modern Classics.In 1929 Robert Graves went to live abroad permanently, vowing ''never to make England my home again''. This is his superb account of his life up until that ''bitter leave-taking'': from his childhood and desperately unhappy school days at Charterhouse, to his time serving as a young officer in the First World War that was to haunt him throughout his life. It also contains memorable encounters with fellow writers and poets, including Siegfried Sassoon and Thomas Hardy, and covers his increasingly unhappy marriage to Nancy Nicholson. Goodbye to All That, with its vivid, harrowing descriptions of the Western Front, is a classic war document, and also has immense value as one of the most candid self-portraits of an artist ever written.Robert Ranke Graves (1895-1985) was a British poet, novelist, and critic.

The Madman's Guide to Stamp Collecting - Robert Irwin

A fascinating, one-of-a-kind journey through the world of stamps and collecting by maverick historian and writer Robert IrwinWhy do we collect? Is it to rescue objects from oblivion? Is it a kind of desire - or even a kind of madness? In this mosaic of fiction, philosophy, sociology, biography and autobiography, virtuoso thinker Robert Irwin takes us on a wayward journey through the art of collecting, and his own intellectual passions.Drawing on the works of writers including Susan Sontag, Walter Benjamin, Iris Murdoch and Georges Perec, as well as a host of lesser-known geniuses, flaneurs, obsessives and eccentrics, Irwin explores everything from mysticism to nostalgia, classical antiquity to surrealism, dreams to death. We join Thomas De Quincey on a night mail coach, encounter the man who set out to acquire every stamp ever issued and enter the badlands of fakes and forgeries, all in the company of a uniquely brilliant mind.This is a book of wonders; of labyrinthine digressions, good humour and a delight in small things. It is a meditation on the stuff of life.

Goodbye to all that - Robert Graves

Robert Graves, aged nineteen, left school within a week of the outbreak of World War I, and immediately volunteered with the Royal Welch Fusiliers. His experiences as a junior officer form the heart of this compelling autobiography. Beginning with an ironic overview of his Edwardian childhood, he proceeds to a tongue-in-cheek account of a young poet''s life at public school (not helpful to be half-German, but handy to take up boxing), progressing to caricatures of military stereotypes he encounters in training, and the devastating farce of the War itself, the blundering and mismanagement, and the appalling human consequences. Graves''s handling of the horrors of war is always deadpan, honest and unadorned. It is wholly in line with his sense of the absurd that his commanding officer should write to inform his parents that he had died of wounds during the battle of the Somme. He soon found that patriotism was meaningless to the men in the trenches; loyalty to comrades alive and dead drove him back to active service though still suffering from shell-shock. Goodbye to All That takes Graves through his convalescence in England, his efforts to protect the poet Siegfried Sassoon, a friend and fellow officer, from the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

On the eve of her hanging, Ruth Ellis wrote to a friend: ''I must close now but remember I am quite happy with the verdict, but not the way the story was told, there is so much that people don''t know.''

Using official documents including the transcript of her trial at the Old Bailey, he unlocks the full, secret background to the story of the last woman to be hanged in Britain. Meticulous and fair in its analysis, The Last Woman to be Hanged is an absorbing portrait of the tragic life of a young woman, a vivid snapshot of an era and a gripping account of a notorious case that shocked the nation.

Unlock your potential and finally move forward.A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they don''t change their habits, only one in seven will be able to follow through successfully. Desire and motivation aren''t enough: even when it''s literally a matter of life or death, the ability to change remains maddeningly elusive.Given that the status quo is so potent, how can we change ourselves and our organizations?In Immunity to Change, authors Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey show how our individual beliefs--along with the collective mind-sets in our organizations--combine to create a natural but powerful immunity to change. By revealing how this mechanism holds us back, Kegan and Lahey give us the keys to unlock our potential and finally move forward. And by pinpointing and uprooting our own immunities to change, we can bring our organizations forward with us.This persuasive and practical book, filled with hands-on diagnostics and compelling case studies, delivers the tools you need to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work.

Genesis: A Robert Hunter Thriller (1471197581)

Kniha - 526 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná A killing like no other. A killer more twisted than he’s ever seen before. A case that will test him to the limit. Has Robert Hunter finally met his match? ‘Do you believe the Devil exists, Detective?’ the officer at the end of the line asks. ‘Because if you don’t . . . I’m sure you will once you get here.’ Robert Hunter is called to the most vicious crime scene he has ever attended. It is made even more disturbing when the autopsy reveals a poem, left by the killer, inside the body of their victim. Soon, another body is found. The methods and signature of the murder differs, but the level of violence used suggests that the same person is behind both crimes. Hunter’s fears are confirmed when a second part of the poem is found. But this discovery does more than just link the two killings – it suggests that this is the work of a serial murderer. With no forensic evidence to go on, Robert Hunter must catch...

Robert Rauschenberg's New York

Marking the centennial of Robert RauschenbergÂ’s birth, this long over-due publication examines the central importance of photography to the artist. Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) was a quintessential artist of post-war New York and one of the most influential creators of twentieth-century America, best known as a painter and graphic artist who paved the way for Pop Art. Robert RauschenbergÂ’s New York takes a deep dive into the artistÂ’s engagement with photographs, focusing on his relationship with New York City. Seminal early photographs set the stage for the entire volume, examining the artistÂ’s early life and career and the New York arts scene of the 1950s and early 1960s. Later on, the career-defining photographs made by Rauschenberg in New York City between 1979 and 1981 are presented alongside a small selection of his paintings and prints that reproduce and repurpose the photographs in new ways. Here photographic imagery is seen in a new context, as source material for further artistic creativity and improvisation.

Or is there another way?In their new book, Robert Peston and Kishan Koria explain how the country is almost bust - economically, politically and socially. The economy is flatlining, society is fracturing, parliament is unfit for purpose, and the state is failing.They''ve got the shocking stories to prove it. But this is no counsel of despair. It''s a call to action. We can fix ourselves - by harnessing artificial intelligence, remaking our important institutions, and recognising that we can and must learn from the rest of the world.

A Left that Dares to Speak Its Name - Slavoj Žižek

With irrepressible humor, Slavoj ?i?ek dissects our current political and social climate, discussing everything from Jordan Peterson and sex “unicorns” to Greta Thunberg and Chairman Mao. Taking aim at his enemies on the Left, Right, and Center, he argues that contemporary society can only be properly understood from a communist standpoint. Why communism? The greater the triumph of global capitalism, the more its dangerous antagonisms multiply: climate collapse, the digital manipulation of our lives, the explosion in refugee numbers – all need a radical solution. That solution is a Left that dares to speak its name, to get its hands dirty in the real world of contemporary politics, not to sling its insults from the sidelines or to fight a culture war that is merely a fig leaf covering its political and economic failures. As the crises caused by contemporary capitalism accumulate at an alarming rate, the Left finds itself in crisis too, beset with competing ideologies and prone to populism, racism, and conspiracy theories. A Left that Dares to Speak Its Name is ?i?ek’s attempt to elucidate the major political issues of the day from a truly radical Leftist position. The first three parts explore the global political situation ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Asa Wikforss, profesorka teoretickej filozofie, skúma fenomén rezistencie voči poznaniu z filozofickej perspektívy. Čo je poznanie? Aké psychologické mechanizmy nám bránia prijať fakty a ako predchádzať rezistencii voči poznaniu? Ako sa brániť falošným a nepodloženým tvrdeniam? Akú úlohu hrajú médiá a ako môžu pomôcť školy?

Dynamics Of The Korean State: From The Paleolithic Age To Candlelight Democracy - Robert E Bedeski

One Korea or two?The persistence of North and South Korea since 1948 has been a source of one war and fears of new wars. Although they share centuries of common culture, society and politics, the two nations differ on fundamentals today: capitalist democracy in the south and totalitarian communism in the north. Dynamics of the Korean State provides a unique overview of how humans treasure their individual lives and how these dynamics intertwine with Korean history and state evolution.The book examines the development of the Korean state from ancient times and sees its roots in the Stone Age struggle for survival. The persistent theme has been to Prolong Life — Postpone Death. Hence, the origins of every state can be found in man''s Will-to-Live, and this is demonstrated in the Will/action framework offered by the author. Human Will, not material determinism or divine plan, creates the state. This primary Will generates five other Wills, which motivate actions to culminate in the state and give it a fluidity over time. The six Wills/actions are as follows: Will-to-Live/production; Will-to-Freedom/innovation; Will-to-Power/organization; Will-to-Comply/enforcement; Will-to-Transcend/political vision & religion; and Will-to-Redirect/reform, usurpation, rebellion, revolution.
