Kniha - autor Klára A. Samková, 84 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Knížka je překladem původní české studie, kterou napsala česká advokátka a znalkyně této problematiky Klára A. Samková v roce 2011. Vyhrocený problém soužití Romů s majoritní společností, který je stále aktuální v mnoha zemích, zejména evropských, autorka analyzuje zcela kompaktně z historického, právního, sociologického a psychologického hlediska. Metodologickým vodítkem studie je dílo Irwina Yaloma „Existenciální psychoterapie“ a stejně jako tento významný americký psychiatr i autorka předkládá čtenáři čtyři velká témata lidského života, totiž smrt, svoboda, existenciální izolaci a nepřítomnost smyslu. Nahlíží tato témata očima romské komunity, jejími zvyky a hodnotovým systémem, který autorka důvěrně zná. Tím odkrývá zcela nový pohled na Romy jako na svébytný národ s vlastním duchovním a duševním životem, který však je uzavřen nejen pro běžnou majoritní společnost, ale i pro ty,...

Kniha je překladem původní české studie autorky, která je znalkyní této problematiky. Autorka analyzuje z pohledu historického, právního i psychologického vyhrocený problém soužití Romů s majoritní společností, který je i v dnešní době stále aktuální. Autorka nahlíží na témata lidského života očima romské komunity, čímž odkrývá zcela nový pohled na Romy jako na svébytný národ. Autorka dochází k závěru, že hlavní problém soužití s Romy netkví v sociální rovině, ale jedná se především o problém národnostní a národní emancipace Romů. Pohled na Romy jako na sociální skupinu pak autorka kritizuje jako nefunkční a zjednodušený pohled státních garnitur. Autorka ve své práci vychází ze svého dlouholetého soužití s romskou komunitou i s hlubokých odborných znalostí. Kvalitu této studie potvrdili špičkoví odborníci.

Elektronická kniha - ze série Spisy Filozofické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity, autor Jiří Šalamoun, 115 stran, anglicky Tato kniha se zaměřuje na tvorbu afroamerického spisovatele Ishmaela Reeda a sleduje, jak se napříč jeho padesátiletou románovou tvorbou proměňuje způsob, jímž autor uplatňuje satiru. Přestože je každý Reedův román originálním knižním počinem, v uplatnění satiry lze najít jisté pravidelnosti a vývojové tendence. Zatímco v Reedově rané satiře převládá společenská kritika založená na zobrazení nestandardní sexuality, v jeho současnější satiře (čímž je označována autorova románová tvorba od roku 1993 dále) dominuje společenská kritika založená na argumentaci. Uvedené mody satiry jsou v knize dále propojeny se dvěma druhy amerického rasismu, s rasismem zjevným a skrytým. Kniha dokládá, že spolu s tím, jak se zjevný rasismus stal v americkém společenském diskurzu nepřípustným a byl nahrazen rasismem skrytým, aktualizoval Ishmael Reed svoji satiru,...

In The Handbook of Existential Coaching Practice, Monica Hanaway presents a complete introduction to existential coaching, focusing on how coaches can incorporate key skills in all aspects of their practice. Practical and theoretical, the book explores how existential thought can offer a fresh re-orientation of coaching practice that embraces uncertainty, working towards a deeper understanding of the clientÂ’s world and the challenges they face in the twenty-first century.This comprehensive guide is presented in two parts, bringing together theoretical coaching models and HanawayÂ’s extensive practical experience. In Part 1, Hanaway begins by clearly exploring what is meant by existential coaching and places it in the context of contemporary coaching culture, illuminating the key philosophical elements of the existential coaching approach and the differences between existential coaching and existential psychotherapy. In Part 2, Hanaway draws from her own experience and presents case studies to demonstrate how coaches can build relationships with clients, enabling them to face existential dilemmas in their organisational and social life to become their authentic self. She introduces key existential concepts relating to authenticity, relatedness, freedom, responsibility, values and beliefs, and encourages the reader to explore how these are relevant to the coaching process.

Kniha - autor Felix Boom, 235 stran, anglicky The novel, bordering between real story and fantasy, controversial by nature, has been written by an experienced author, established up to now in a different genre. Hence the author's need for pseudonym. The plotline is based on the return of Jesus Christ to the earth after more than 2000 years. Jesus Christ is acting as a tabloid sports reporter and a good sportsman, a footballer, interpreting the New Testament and its key events through the 21st-century human way of thinking. Through witty dialogues, Jesus reveals God as an illiterate, who speaks only Hebrew, a bad father, a speed demon and the like, and accuses Him of having made many mistakes. Furthermore, Jesus presents God with a "Jesus 2010" project, aimed at averting the decline of Christian faith. In the end, God agrees to it. Jesus Christ then puts the project into practice, rectifying many errors in the interpretation of Christian history often in...

Příběh běží na pozadí československého totalitního režimu v letech 1948 až 1989 a končí v první polovině roku 1990 rozčarováním, že sametová revoluce je podvod. Odehrála jako se předání moci v podivném aranžmá, podle jejíhož kuloárního scénáře vlastně komunisté předali moc znovu sami sobě.

The works of Andreas Vesalius (1514''1564) have long been regarded among the great treasures of the Renaissance. Published as medical books while he was teaching anatomy and dissection at the University of Padua, they include the Tabulae Sex (1538), intended as an aid to students; the magnificently illustrated De Humani Corporis Fabrica (1543), and the companion volume, the Epitome (1543). Individually, these books are milestones in the history of medicine. They also offer one of the most magnificent collections of anatomical drawings ever published. The plates were executed with such vitality and originality that they have been attributed to the most talented illustrators of the sixteenth century, not to mention Vesalius himself. Many of the drawings, in fact, were products of Titian''s famous atelier. For this edition of the Vesalius illustrations, Dover has combined the best existing plates and text. The illustrations have been reproduced from the sumptuous (1934) Munich edition of Vesalius titled Icones Anatomicae. The Munich plates were struck for the most part from the original wood blocks then in the collection of the Library of the University of Munich.

The collection of the fin de siécle art from the collections of the Gallery of West Bohemia in Pilsen is one of the best in the context of Czech public collections. It includes all the important styles and trends that appeared on the art scene of the time, i.e. naturalism, symbolism, impressionism and art nouveau. Czech art at this time was in the process of integration into international structures and many artists from the Czech lands studied, exhibited or worked in the key cultural capitals of Europe, such as Vienna, Munich and Paris. Two personalities who achieved worldwide fame are represented in the Pilsen collection: one of the most important representatives of art nouveau, Alfons Mucha, and the later co-founder of abstract painting, František Kupka.

Most period ship models are built from kits, usually primarily of wood with some ready-made fittings. Although these commercial offerings have improved significantly in recent years, all of them can be enhanced in accuracy or detail by an experienced model maker. This book, by an expert ship modeler, distills lessons gleaned from a lifetime practicing the hobby to the highest standards, setting out methods of improving basic kits and gradually developing the skills and confidence to tackle the construction of a model from scratch. Using a variety of kits as the starting point, each chapter demonstrates a technique that can be readily improved or a feature that can be replaced to the advantage of the finished model. Topics include hull planking, representing copper sheathing, many aspects of more accurate masting and rigging, and how to replace kit parts and fittings from scratch. The impact of a period model depends on its accuracy, and this book provides guidance on plans and references, including where to find them and how they are best used. The plank-on-frame model, sometimes with exposed frames in the Navy Board style, has always been considered the crowning achievement of period ship modeling, and this book concludes with ...

This volume offers a broad introduction to one of the most exciting chapters of Late Antiquity through direct testimony from one of the last representatives of Roman Antiquity, Ausonius of Bordeaux, and his radical Christian protégé, the populist bishop and experimental poet Paulinus of Nola.The first comprehensive volume in English dedicated to these works in over a century, this book also offers representative selections from Paulinus’ vast poetic output, from the publicly performed poems that mark his contribution to the emerging cult of the saints to his experimental Christianization of a wide range of Classical genres. Preceded by a substantial introduction discussing the modern significance of these works and their original contexts, the translation is accompanied by running notes for ease of reference and an interpretive commentary rich with illustrative parallels. Taken together, the correspondence with Ausonius and the selections from Paulinus epitomize the personal, political, and spiritual conflicts of their age, offering a lively and concentrated introduction to the life and thought of these two underappreciated contemporaries of Jerome and Augustine.Accompanied by new and provocative interpretations with detailed but concise historical and biographical guidance, this accessible and stylish translation will appeal to scholars and students of Classics, Late Antiquity, ...

Kniha - autor Randolph M. Nesse, 384 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná One of the world's most respected psychiatrists provides a much-needed new evolutionary framework for making sense of mental illness. With his classic book Why We Get Sick, Randolph Nesse established the field of evolutionary medicine. Now he returns with a book that transforms our understanding of mental disorders by exploring a fundamentally new question. Instead of asking why certain people suffer from mental illness, Nesse asks why natural selection has left us with fragile minds at all. Drawing on revealing stories from his own clinical practice and insights from evolutionary biology, Nesse shows how negative emotions are useful in certain situations, yet can become excessive. Anxiety protects us from harm in the face of danger, but false alarms are inevitable. Low mood prevents us from wasting effort in pursuit of unreachable goals, but it often escalates into pathological...

‘Highly enjoyable’ – Ancestors‘A fascinating recreation of the Tower as the life-and-death blood of the nation’ – Oxford TimesServing as both a palace and a prison, the Tower of London has been at the centre of more intrigue, terror and crucial turning points in history than any other site in England.

As the British gunned down the last heirs to the Mughal Empire or burned down the Summer Palace in Beijing, it was clear that for Asia to recover a new way of thinking was needed. Pankaj Mishra re-tells the history of the past two centuries, showing how a remarkable, disparate group of thinkers, journalists, radicals and charismatics emerged from the ruins of empire to create an unstoppable Asian renaissance, one whose ideas lie behind everything from the Chinese Communist Party to the Muslim Brotherhood, and have made our world what it is today.Reviews:''Arrestingly original ... this penetrating and disquieting book should be on the reading list of anybody who wants to understand where we are today'' John Gray, Independent ''A riveting account that makes new and illuminating connections ... deeply entertaining and deeply humane'' Hisham Matar''Fascinating ... a rich and genuinely thought-provoking book'' Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph''Provocative, shaming and ...
