J. G. Ballard''s collected nonfiction from 1962 to 2007, mapping the cultural obsessions, experiences, and insights of one of the most original minds of his generation.J. G. Ballard was a colossal figure in English literature and an imaginative force of the twentieth century. Alongside seminal novels—from the notorious Crash (1973) to the semi-autobiographical Empire of the Sun (1984)—Ballard was a sought-after reviewer and commentator, publishing journalism, memoir, and cultural criticism in a variety of forms. This volume collects the most significant short nonfiction of Ballard''s fifty-year career, extending the range of the only previous collection of his nonfiction, A User''s Guide to the Millennium (1996), which selected essays and reviews published between 1962 and 1995.A decade on from Ballard''s death in 2009, a new generation of readers needs a new collection. In the period following A User''s Guide, Ballard''s writing addressed 9/11, British politics from New Labour onward, and what he termed “the rise of soft fascism”—a diagnosis that maintains its relevance amid a shift toward right populism in European and US politics. Beautifully edited by Ballard scholar and novelist Mark Blacklock, this volume includes Ballard''s editorials and manifestos; commentaries on his own work; commentaries on the work of others; ...

The definitive collection of nonfiction—from war reporting to literary criticism to the sharpest political writing—from the “legend of American letters” (Vanity Fair) Robert Stone was a singular American writer, a visionary whose award-winning novels—including Dog Soldiers, Outerbridge Reach, and Damascus Gate—earned him comparisons to literary lions ranging from Samuel Beckett to Ernest Hemingway to Graham Greene. Stone had an almost prophetic grasp of the spirit of his age, which he captured with crystalline clarity in each of his novels. Of course, he was also a sharp and brilliant observer of American life, and his nonfiction writing is revelatory. The Eye You See With—the first and only collection of Robert Stone’s nonfiction—was carefully selected by award-winning novelist and Stone biographer Madison Smartt Bell. Divided into three sections, the collection includes the best of Stone’s war reporting, his writing on social change, and his reflections on the art of fiction. This is an extraordinary volume that offers up a clear-eyed look at the 20th century and secures Robert Stone’s place as one of the most original figures in all of American letters.

Politics, religion, culture, travel, science and technology, family life: nothing escaped the eye and pen of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, nineteenth-century America''s most famous writer and a legend in his own lifetime. Though chiefly known today for his classic novels of childhood, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, and for his short stories, he produced even more nonfiction of an impressive quality.Twain lived a life as exciting as his fiction, and in his Autobiography we find him running wild, like the heroes of his novels, in the countryside around his childhood home in Missouri and navigating the treacherous waters of the Mississippi River as a trained steamboat pilot, while his letters show him travelling thousands of miles over the United States on hectic lecture tours (he was a great showman, raconteur and performer of his own works), hobnobbing with princes and presidents and being lionized in the capitals of Europe.His trademark wit, candour, sarcasm and irrepressible humour shine through on every page of this selection, but here too, beyond the entertainer, we discover in his speeches and essays the social and moral issues - slavery, imperialism - which concerned him, and meet the private man behind that ...

A midwestern urban Republican mayor reveals the success of his moderate approach to governing. Throughout his eight years as mayor of Indianapolis, Greg Ballard did what he thought was right, looking out for the long-term health of his city with political implications being the last of considerations. This included a pointed critique of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed by then governor Mike Pence. Relying on his well-trained and efficient staff, he ensured that the city moved aggressively forward with little political interference. Never taking a poll to see which way the winds were blowing, Ballard was not a normal politician. He was a Marine who had traveled the world, been to war, and had returned to his hometown to serve again. Ballard was that rarity in American politics, an urban Republican, moderate in views and practical in governing, and always completely dedicated to his city. Thoughtful and brimming with insights, Greg Ballard's inspirational story offers a compelling blueprint for American politics going forward.

From J. G. Ballard, author of ‘Crash’ and ‘Cocaine Nights’ comes his extraordinary vision of an African forest that turns all in its path to crystal.Through a ‘leaking’ of time, the West African jungle starts to crystallize. Trees metamorphose into enormous jewels. Crocodiles encased in second glittering skins lurch down the river. Pythons with huge blind gemstone eyes rear in heraldic poses. Most flee the area in terror, afraid to face a catastrophe they cannot understand.But some, dazzled and strangely entranced, remain to drift through this dreamworld forest: a doctor in pursuit of his ex-mistress, an enigmatic Jesuit wielding a crystal cross and a tribe of lepers searching for Paradise.In this tour de force of the imagination, Ballard transports the reader into one of his most unforgettable landscapes.This edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballard’s works, featuring introductions from a number of his admirers (including James Lever, Ali Smith, Hari Kunzru and Martin Amis) and brand-new cover designs.

A startling and at times unsettlingly prescient collection of J. G. Ballard’s greatest interviews.J.G. Ballard was a literary giant. Best known for his controversial bestseller ‘Crash’ and the memoir ‘Empire of the Sun’, he was a writer of unique talent – always surprising, frequently prescient.Such acuity was not exclusive to his novels and, as this book reminds us, Ballard’s restive intelligence sharpened itself in dialogue. He entertained many with insights into the world as he saw it, and speculated, often correctly, about its future. Some of these observations earned Ballard an oracular reputation, and continue to yield an uncannily accurate commentary today.‘Extreme Metaphors’ collects the finest interviews of his career. Conversations with Will Self, Jon Savage, Iain Sinclair and John Gray, and collaborators like David Cronenberg, are a reminder of his wit and humanity, testament to Ballard’s profound worldliness as much as his otherworldly imagination. This collection is an indispensable tribute to one of recent history’s most original thinkers.

Elektronická kniha - autor Josef Pecinovský, 228 stran V prvním čtvrtletí roku 2007 přinesla firma Microsoft na trh novou verzi kancelářského balíku, Office 2007. Tato verze je svým způsobem revoluční, protože přináší zcela nový vzhled oken programů se zcela jinými ovládacími prvky. Autoři programu byli vedeni maximální snahou ovládání programů zjednodušit a zpřístupnit je tak prakticky všem uživatelům. Jestli to byl šťastný krok, ukáže čas. Uživatelé starších verzí, pokud přejdou k Office 2007, se budou muset po několik dní i týdnů obrnit trpělivostí a budou se muset zbavit dosavadních návyků. Z oken aplikací zcela zmizel panel nabídek i panely nástrojů, zůstal jen malý relikt nazvaný panel nástrojů Rychlý přístup. Namísto nabídek i panel nástrojů nastupuje velká poměrně složitá lišta, nazvaná Pás karet, kde je většina funkcí dostupná na jedno nebo dvě klepnutí myší.
