Learn how to change the way we use them. Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars, by Professor Henrietta Moore and Arthur Kay, explores the philosophical implications of car culture, as well as the practical impacts it has on your money, your taxes, your neighborhood, your planet, your health, and your happiness.

Inside the book: Jaw-dropping, real-world examples of the human and monetary costs imposed by cars, including the fact that cars have killed 60 to 80 million people since their invention, more than the deaths of WWI and WWII combined. Philosophical arguments explaining how car-centric cities restrict the freedoms of drivers and non-drivers alike. A catalogue of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Giacomo a Henrietta - Richard Aldington

Úchvatný milostný a dobrodužný román předního anglického básníka a spisovatele první poloviny minulého století Richarda Aldingtona, spolu a Hemingwayem, Fitzgeraldem a dalšími příslušníka ‚ztracené generace‘, poznamenané traumaty 1. světové války. Aldington, v mládí autor nesmlouvavých básní a kritických próz, se v pokročilém věku uchýlil k romantickému žánru, avšak vysokou kulturu a průraznost myšlení, stejně jako mimořádný vypravěčský talent a hluboké lidoznalectví si v něm plně zachoval. Jde o přesvědčivě vyjádřený příběh věčného boje dobra se zlem, v němž je dobro sice jako téměř vždy v defenzívě, avšak přesto je nesmírně silné a proto ideově nepotlačitelné. Casanova, svůdce žen, dobrodruh a podvodník, je na sklonku života postaven před ožehavovu otázku, zda to byl on, kdo s ženami manipuloval, nebo zda ve skutečnosti nemanipulovaly ony s ním. Dokáže si vzpomenout pouze na jedinou ženu, která ho milovala skutečně a čistě - na Henriettu. Nakladatel Bohumil Sláma původní Aldingtonův text zkrátil a upravil, čímž mu přidal na kompaktnosti a vyzdvihl jeho poselství.

"Women have won their political independence. Now is the time for them to achieve their economic freedom too."This was the great rallying cry of the pioneers who, in 1919, created the Women’s Engineering Society. Spearheaded by Katharine and Rachel Parsons, a powerful mother and daughter duo, and Caroline Haslett, whose mission was to liberate women from domestic drudgery, it was the world’s first professional organisation dedicated to the campaign for women''s rights.Magnificent Women and their Revolutionary Machines tells the stories of the women at the heart of this group – from their success in fanning the flames of a social revolution to their significant achievements in engineering and technology. It centres on the parallel but contrasting lives of the two main protagonists, Rachel Parsons and Caroline Haslett – one born to privilege and riches whose life ended in dramatic tragedy; the other who rose from humble roots to become the leading professional woman of her age and mistress of the thrilling new power of the twentieth century: electricity.In this fascinating book, acclaimed biographer Henrietta Heald also illuminates the era in which the society was founded.

Henry Moore's Sheep Sketchbook - Kenneth Clark, Henry Moore

In 1972, when the packing and crating for a major exhibition made it impossible for him to work in his sculpture studios, Henry Moore retreated to a small studio that looks out on a sheep meadow. Over the course of several months, as sheep were suckled and sheared, Moore produced this delightful flock of sketches and drawings. Sheep are as much a commonplace of the English countryside as hedgerows, but Moore looked at them afresh. Here are ewes nurturing their lambs, lambs playing in the meadow, and the swollen stateliness of sheep with full coats of wool. Many of the sketches evoke themes that are important in all Moore''s work. The depiction of a ewe and lamb, for instance, suggests the mother-and-child theme often evoked in Moore''s sculpture by a large form sheltering a smaller one. Henry Moore presented the sketchbook to his daughter, Mary. In this facsimile edition, first created under Moore''s personal supervision, Mary''s little lambs will charm anyone who sees these tender, vigorous drawings.

New Collected Poems of Marianne Moore - Marianne Moore

During her lifetime Marianne Moore was that rarest of combinations, a genuine leader in the art of poetry, as well as a bona fide celebrity. She was an instantly recognisable symbol of Brooklyn, New York, appearing on the cover of Life magazine, asked by the Ford Motor Company to christen their new family sedan, and by the New York Yankees to throw the opening pitch of their baseball season. However, because of Moore’s restless, seldom-ceasing, decade-spanning revision of her own poems, creating a ‘stable’ text of her work has posed editors a challenge ever since. Moore tackled the problem herself: Complete Poems (1967) was her own selection, but she favoured the later work, including less than half of her output up to that point. ‘Omissions are not accidents,’ she wrote pointedly in that edition, but for some readers the absence of more than one hundred poems constituted a wilful neglect of her startlingly innovative, highly influential early work, and contributed to Moore’s undervaluing as a ‘modernist’ poet. Marianne Moore scholar Heather Cass White has prepared an edition of poems that, for the first time, presents the full range of Moore’s work in its published order, while honouring the complex textual ...
