Planetfall - Emma Newman

From Emma Newman, the award-nominated author of Between Two Thorns, comes a novel of how one secret withheld to protect humanity''s future might be its undoing...Renata Ghali believed in Lee Suh-Mi''s vision of a world far beyond Earth, calling to humanity. A planet promising to reveal the truth about our place in the cosmos, untainted by overpopulation, pollution, and war. Ren believed in that vision enough to give up everything to follow Suh-Mi into the unknown.More than twenty-two years have passed since Ren and the rest of the faithful braved the starry abyss and established a colony at the base of an enigmatic alien structure where Suh-Mi has since resided, alone. All that time, Ren has worked hard as the colony''s 3-D printer engineer, creating the tools necessary for human survival in an alien environment, and harboring a devastating secret.Ren continues to perpetuate the lie forming the foundation of the colony for the good of her fellow colonists, despite the personal cost. Then a stranger appears, far too young to have been part of the first planetfall, a man who bears a remarkable resemblance to Suh-Mi.The truth Ren has concealed since planetfall can no longer be hidden. And its revelation ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Neobyčejný život obyčejného muže - Paul Newman

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"

The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man - Paul Newman

In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman’s family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor’s life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years. The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman’s voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voices—from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston—that run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling. Newman’s often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Marlon Brando and James Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his ...

Cardinal Newman - Michael Ffinch

The fascinating and insightful biography of one of the most intriguing, thoughtful and controversial figures of the 19th century.''Growth is the only evidence of life'' - so said poet, academic and theologian John Henry, Cardinal Newman. Canonised in 2019 (despite having said ''I have nothing of the saint about me''), Newman was an important and controversial figure in the religious history of the 19th century.This highly lyrical and accomplished biography not only covers his religious life (he played a vital role in the Oxford Movement, and subsequently converted to Catholicism), but also places him in the context of 19th-century religious revival and changing attitudes. In addition to his sometimes controversial teachings, Cardinal Newman was also a poet who wrote the text of Elgar''s The Dream of Gerontius and was responsible for the foundation of the Oratorian Order in England.Michael Ffinch shows an unusual insight into Newman''s character, finding an unexpected warmth and humour in a man often thought of as cold and austere. This fascinating biography also shows a deep understanding of a church emerging from dark centuries of persecution and misunderstanding into the light of what Newman himself chose to call ''The Second Spring''.

Barnett Newman - Amy Newman

The definitive biography of a transformational American artist and the city that shaped himBarnett Newman (1905–1970), a founding member of the abstract expressionist movement, was a contemporary of such figures as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. He left behind only 118 finished paintings, six sculptures, and 83 acknowledged drawings, yet is often regarded as the greatest painter to have emerged after the Second World War. Barnett Newman is the definitive biography of a charismatic New Yorker who defied the rules and created an art of the sublime. This landmark book features original research conducted over decades, using scores of interviews, oral histories, and previously unseen correspondence to paint a richly textured portrait of a creative sage who became an exemplar of the artist-citizen. Born in New York to Polish Jewish immigrant parents, he grandly aspired to involve himself in every detail of the city’s life. He was a crusader for the civil service, ran against La Guardia for mayor, worked as a teacher, wrote poetry, criticism, and manifestos, produced political plays, and promoted other artists—all before painting a mature work of his own in his early forties. Newman began with none of the qualities once ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Neobyčajný život obyčajného muža - Paul Newman

Paul Newman vo svojich memoároch úprimne opisuje celý svoj život: traumatické detstvo, kariéru, pitie, spomienky na Marlona Brandona, Jamesa Deana, Elizabeth Taylorovú, Johna Hustona, ale aj svoje najväčšie herecké roly, intímny život s Joanne Woodwardovou či svoje najvnútornejšie obavy, vášne a radosti. V roku 1986 sa Paul Newman a jeho najbližší priateľ, scenárista Stewart Stern, pustili do výnimočného projektu. Stewart mal zostaviť jeho pamäti. Predstava bola taká, že Newmanova rodina, priatelia a tí, ktorí s ním úzko spolupracovali, podajú svoju výpoveď o hercovom živote. A následne bude Paul Newman spolupracovať so Stewartom a podá svoju verziu príbehu. Jedinou podmienkou bolo, že každý, kto sa zúčastní na nahrávaní, musí byť maximálne úprimný. Rovnaká podmienka platila aj pre samotného Newmana. Projekt trval päť rokov a výsledkom sú neobyčajné memoáre, zostavené z tisícov strán prepisov. Newmanovo rozprávanie je silné, niekedy vtipné, inokedy bolestné, vždy však hlboko úprimné. Rozprávania priateľov z detstva a kamarátov z námorníctva, rodinných príslušníkov a filmových a divadelných spolupracovníkov, ako sú Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt a John Huston, ktoré sa objavujú v celom texte, dodávajú Newmanovmu príbehu bohatosť, farebnosť a zaujímavú rôznorodosť.

Diary of an Uncertain Psychic - Deena I.J. Newman

In Diary of an Uncertain Psychic, artist-anthropologist Deena I.J. Newman explores the life and lessons of Elizabeth, a California psychic and radio talk show host. Through vivid graphic narrative, this detailed account tells a story about images through images. Elizabeth experienced a continuous flow of inner images, In Western culture, the phenomenon of spontaneous inner imagery is often considered unusual or abnormal. Newman challenges this perspective by suggesting that many people experience spontaneous visual, auditory, and kinesthetic imagery and contends that such imagery may be a potential key to understanding psychic and mental processes. These images are interpreted differently across different cultures – as spiritual messages, omens, sources of scientific and artistic inspiration, psychological insights, symptoms of mental illness, or simply nonsensical productions of the mind. In visualizing these images on the page, this book invites readers to delve deeper into the complexities of inner imagery – both within psychics and within themselves. This graphic work captures the film-like inner images commonly experienced yet frequently overlooked, revealing the uncertainty involved in translating between images and words. Newman reflexively explores Elizabeth's and her own experiences to understand this process of translation.

Socialism - Michael Newman

What is socialism? Does it have a future, or has it become an outdated ideology in the 21st century?This Very Short Introduction considers the major theories in socialism, and explores its historical evolution from the French Revolution to the present day. Michael Newman argues that socialism has always been a diverse doctrine, while nevertheless containing a central core of interconnected values and goals: a critique of capitalism; an optimistic view of human beings; and the belief that it is possible to establish societies based on egalitarianism, social solidarity, and co-operation. In this new edition, he draws on case studies such as Cuba, Sweden, and Bolivia, to consider attempts to implement socialism in practice, before discussing New Left challenges to conventional notions of socialism on such questions as feminism, climate change, and direct action. Rejecting the widespread view that socialism is an out-dated doctrine, Newman argues that it remains ultimately relevant in today''s world.

When her husband David announces he’s been offered a job in New York, Saoirse is thrilled.

Gödelův důkaz - Nagel Ernest, Newman Roy James

V knize Gödelův důkaz nabízejí Ernest Nagel a James R. Newman čtivý a speciální symboliky prostý výklad hlavních myšlenek a důsledků Gödelova objevu. Kniha byla poprvé publikována v roce 1958, a od té doby je znovu a znovu vydávána – čeština je jedenáctým jazykem, do něhož byla přeložena. Nagelova a Newmanova populární a vlivná práce nabízí vzdělanému čtenáři se zájmem o matematiku, logiku a filozofii příležitost porozumět důkazu jinak obtížnému a nepřístupnému. V posledním vydání tuto dnes již klasickou práci přehlédl a aktualizoval nositel Pulitzerovy ceny Douglas R. Hofstadter. Odstranil víceznačnosti, vyjasnil argumenty a text učinil ještě přístupnějším. Připojil úvod, kde odhaluje svůj vztah k této knížce a vliv, jaký měla na jeho odborný růst, vysvětluje podstatu Gödelova důkazu a ukazuje, jak a proč je tento důkaz dodnes důležitý. Aktuální vydání je nově rozšířeno o doslov Alexandra Meduny (FIT VUT) s názvem "Brněnský rodák Kurt Gödel a jeho odkaz". Kniha je určena studentům, vědcům, učitelům, jakož i odborníkům na matematiku, kybernetiku, logiku, filozofii a přírodní vědy.

Idea univerzity - J.H. Newman

Tento soubor přednášek a esejů vznikl v době, kdy J. H. Newman spoluzakládal Irskou katolickou univerzitu (1851) a posléze se stal jejím prvním rektorem. Autor v nich výmluvně hájí ucelené vysokoškolské vzdělání zahrnující humanitní a přírodní vědy i filozofii a teologii. Newmanovy pronikavé a brilantně formulované úvahy mají v anglosaském světě dodnes značný vliv a nejednou se ostře protnou se současnými diskusemi o roli vysokých škol ve společnosti, o významu všeobecného vzdělání nebo o vztahu víry a rozumu - jak se mj. dočteme v zasvěceném úvodu.
