This insightful book explores the relationship we have with gardens and with the act of gardening, considering in detail the psychological, social and health benefits.From the Garden of Eden and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to Kew Gardens and the humble suburban plot, it is self-evident that gardens and gardening have an ever-present attraction. This book addresses the appeal of gardens from a psychological perspective: Why do we spend our cash on plants and gardening paraphernalia and give hours of our time to tending our annuals, bulbs and shrubs? Why do we travel to see gardens in our own and other countries? The theme of this book lies in identifying the individual and social rewards to be found in gardens and gardening, particularly within our own private gardens.The Psychological Appeal of Gardens will be of great interest to students and scholars of applied psychology, as well those taking horticultural courses of various levels, from professional horticulturalists to enthusiastic amateurs.

Sri Lanka takes its place in Asian garden history not only by virtue of its chronicle accounts, inscriptional records and literary descriptions of gardens and natural environments, but even more so on account of the unique survival of the archaeological remains of many planned garden forms, especially from time horizons earlier than those of surviving historic gardens in other South Asian societies and cultures. The Sri Lankan relict gardens are an archaeological phenomenon little seen elsewhere in Asia from a period prior to the 13th century.Following the journey proposed by Klaus Holzhausen and the authors of this volume, one goes from surprise to surprise. First of all, there’s the unsuspected world of the great royal estates: spatial generosity here reflects a local aristocratic civilisation which found in the garden the highest point of its art. Another essential tradition presented in this volume is that of Sri Lanka’s monastic gardens. The sheer number of Buddhist monasteries scattered all over the island since almost 2000 years is incredible. Most of these sites contain rather gardens than buildings. Then there’s the more complex case of colonial gardens, those magical but often forced amalgams between a self-celebrating culture from outside and the local topography ...

A romantic journey through forty captivating gardens lost to time. All over the world, once-flourishing horticultural spaces have been abandoned and forgotten. From the once-crumbling grandeur of the Villa d’Este and the magic of the Lost Gardens of Heligan, to the sculptural surrealism of Las Pozas and the colourful rebirth of Le Jardin Majorelle, there are countless gardens around the world with fascinating stories to tell. Author and journalist Sandra Lawrence takes readers on a tour of 40 horticultural gems from around the world that have been lost either through neglect, abandonment or destruction. Many have been consigned to history, never to be seen again, while others have been revived and restored by the care and dedication of new owners and communities.

While sculpture remained central to his artistic practice, Isamu Noguchi’s (1904–1988) interests and production spanned an exceptionally broad terrain that included furniture and lamps, stage sets for dance, plazas, courtyards — and gardens. Noguchi made no distinction between design, craft, and the so-called fine arts: in his view all of these could all be considered art should their aesthetic qualities sufficiently transcend those generated by the simple address of need.Although his gardens include several of the twentieth century’s most iconic landscape designs and have received almost universal praise, Noguchi nonetheless occupies a place removed from the normal practice of landscape architecture. As an artist he relied more on intuition - bolstered by focused study where required - than on objective analysis, and he shaped his landscapes as sculpture, with space as their primary vehicle. To Noguchi landscape design was a spatial and formal art, and from his earliest environmental projects to the works of his later maturity, he succeeded in conceiving and constructing a series of remarkable places. In this comprehensive and richly illustrated study of Noguchi''s gardens, noted landscape historian Marc Treib describes and critiques projects that date from his early unrealised projects for playgrounds and monuments to a ...

Meggan Watterson nám přináší obraz skutečné Marie (Máří) Magdaleny – té, která žije v každém z nás. Světový bestseller Odhalení Marie Magdaleny odkrývá a vykládá znovunalezené Mariino evangelium, které nám přibližuje milostný příběh tolik odlišný od toho, jež po dva tisíce let předávala křesťanská církev. Přestože Česká republika je v dnešní době zemí převážně ateistickou, křesťanství naši kulturu a myšlení českých lidí značně ovlivnilo. Ježíš a Marie Magdalena jsou součástí naší historie. Jsou součástí každého z nás. Proto je pro nás tato kniha a toto téma tak důležité, dnes více než kdy dříve. Dnes, kdy se čím dál tím více lidí probouzí a uvědomuje si pravdy, které byly po stovky nebo i dokonce tisíce let potlačovány, stíhány a trestány. Krom jiného, že v Boha máme všichni v sobě a že to božské nemusíme hledat nikde mimo sebe, že k tomu, abychom mohli mluvit s Bohem, nepotřebujeme nikoho ani nic jiného.

Galerie hlavního města Prahy pečuje o nejvýznamnější pomníky, sochy a sousoší v Praze. Většina historických soch či pomníků jsou kulturní nemovité památky a k jejich údržbě, konzervaci či restaurování se musí přistupovat citlivě s ohledem na jejich památkovou hodnotu. Pro různé materiály je třeba používat specifické techniky nebo technologie, s citem a rozmyslem využívat i ty nejmodernější postupy nebo prostředky. Protichůdné názory veřejnosti na rychlost, kvalitu nebo míru restaurování veřejných plastik vycházejí z představy, že po restaurování by umělecké dílo mělo být "čisté". Živá praxe správy veřejné plastiky s sebou přináší historky úsměvné, rozčilující i ty k vysloveně k pláči. Chtěli bychom ukázat, že Galerie hlavního města Prahy využívá nejnovější technologické postupy nejen při restaurování veřejných plastik, ale i při jejich konzervaci a běžné údržbě. Vždy ale musíme pečlivě přemýšlet, kdy a jak můžeme zkoušet časem ještě neprověřené novinky, a kdy nemůžeme riskovat poškození materiálu, které se neprojeví hned, ale může být původcem degradace v budoucích desetiletích nebo staletích.

For over a decade, Monty Don has travelled the world, using gardens and green spaces to get under the skin of our most beloved cities and countries. Many of his destinations were well-known to him. For his latest journey, though, he explored Spain as a relative newcomer - and he kept a detailed record of his travels. Starting in Madrid and working his way north through the verdant gardens of Galicia, the Basque country and Barcelona, Monty then heads south to the rugged tropical climes of Mallorca, Alicante, Andalucia, Malaga, and Seville. It's a chance for him to explore how Spain has evolved from the darker days after the civil war to its successful transition to democracy over fifty years ago, tracing those changes through its gardens - from the more conventional gardens created after the war to the rich and inventive approaches of contemporary designers. Accompanied by Derry Moore's stunning photography, Spanish Gardens is a remarkable and personal journey through one of the most popular country destinations on earth.

Audioknihu Marie a Magdalény napsal autor: Lenka Horňáková-Civade, čte: Valérie Zawadská, Tereza Bebarová, Lucie Pernetová. Magdaléna, Libuše, Eva… jedna rodová linie a stejný osud: všechny vyrůstají bez otce. Magdaléna zažila nacistickou okupaci, Libušino dětství, rámované kolektivizací, končí za okupace vojsky Varšavské smlouvy, Eva je dítětem normalizace. A jedna po druhé svým osobitým způsobem vypráví o lásce, o naději, o světle v temnotách a o vnitřním zdroji síly, která každé z nich umožní nést hlavu vztyčenou navzdory nepřízni osudu i historie. A jedna po druhé vypráví i o Marii, jejich matce, babičce a prababičce, která jako archetypální ženské božstvo onu sílu opatruje a šíří. Autorka prostřednictvím svých hrdinek vystavěla pevným, a přitom křehkým, průzračným a zpěvným stylem příběh jedné rodiny, navzdory tragickým okolnostem velmi prostý, navzdory velké historii velmi všední a navzdory obyčejnosti velmi silný.

Starbirdová odhaľuje nové vzrušujúce informácie o žene, ktorá bola najdôvernejšou Ježišovou spoločníčkou, ženou, ktorú roky zamieňali s ostatnými Máriami v evanjeliách. Ponúka historické dôkazy, že Mária bola skutočne Ježišovou zabudnutou nevestou.

Ocenění: Prix Renaudot des Lycéens „Román mi připomněl příběh žen z románu Žítkovské bohyně, který jsem načetla zhruba před pěti lety. Téma je ryze ženské, je o síle rodového předurčení, o emancipaci, nezávislosti, o společenském vyčlenění, pokrytectví, touze… Moje rodina pochází z moravského venkova, takže jsem tam našla spoustu situací, které mí blízcí prožívali obdobně.“ ‒ Tereza Bebarová, interpretka „Zajímalo mě, jak historie s velkým H ovlivňuje naše životy, i když si myslíme, že od ní jsme daleko a už se nás netýká.

Román české autorky vyznamenaný francouzskými literárními cenami ! Nestává se moc často, aby se český literát prosadil v cizině a už vůbec ne, aby se prosadil tvorbou v adoptovaném jazyce. Stalo se tak v případě české malířky a doposud česky píšící autorky Lenky Horňákové-Civade, která po více než dvaceti letech života ve Francii vydala svou francouzskou prvotinu. O tom, že i svým druhým, i když ne mateřským jazykem vládne autorka bravurně, svědčí fakt, že krátce poté, co román ve Francii vyšel, se ocitl na seznamu titulů, z nichž byl na podzim vybírán laureát významné francouzské literární ceny - Prix Renaudot. Oceněn pak byl Prix Renaudot des Lycéens a několika dalšími francouzskými literárními cenami, kladně je přijímán jak kritikou, tak čtenáři. Jakožto francouzsky píšící Češka bude v březnu 2017 hostem Francouzského institutu a v rámci frankofonie představí svou knihu v Praze i dalších městech v Čechách a na Moravě.

A fascinating biographical monograph of Charles J. Stick, the Virginia-based landscape architect renowned for his historically and culturally based gardens filled with luxuriant bloomsCharles Stick lives and works in the Piedmont region of Virginia, a land of rolling hills and dramatic vistas filled with echoes of the early history of America. Stick draws on all of this in his designs, which refer back to the classical designs of Thomas Jefferson at Monticello and the University of Virginia. Stick focuses on residential gardens, drawing on the principles of Palladio, Charles A. Platt, and Russell Page to connect the architecture to the land and develop enticing pathways between the formal planting and the landscape beyond. This new book is the first to explore and bring together four major estates—Crab Tree Farm on the North Shore of Chicago, Illinois; Mount Sharon near Charlottesville, Virginia; Sleepy Cat Farm in Greenwich, Connecticut; and Waverley, a previously unpublished farm in Central Virginia—offering new insights into the design process and the intimacy of his client relationships. Ten featured smaller gardens also demonstrate the breadth of Stick’s creative response to topography and climate.

Ema má však také své starosti, přání a tajemství. V den svých narozenin dostane od kamarádek taštičky s dárky, díky nimž se její sny začnou uskutečňovat. Nebo se jí to všechno jen zdá? Kdyby byly autorky knihy Prababiččin klobouk jednou osobou, měly by celkem sedm dětí a dohromady by jim bylo sto osm let.

This is their safe place, an oasis of familiar delights – a beautiful garden, a busy kitchen and a bountiful recreation schedule. But this ordinary neighbourhood is not without its prejudices. The serenity of Cinnamon Gardens is threatened by malignant forces more interested in what makes this refuge different rather than embracing the calm companionship that makes this place home to so many.
