When Jennifer Scott arrived in Paris as an exchange student from California, she had little idea she would become an avid fan of French fashion, lifestyle, and sophistication.

Winner of the Internationl Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Book Award for Best Clinical Book 2024FDerived from Ruth Williams’ more than 40-year immersion in spiritual practice, as well as her clinical experience as a Jungian analyst, this thought-provoking volume explores the nature of spiritual paths and trajectories in practical ways, incorporating personal anecdote and ground-breaking academic research and providing a window into how Jungian practitioners work with soul and spirit.Williams explores the nature of being a human using the Yiddish idea of a person being a ‘mensch’, which means being a decent human being, having humanity and living ethically with integrity. The idea of ‘grace’ is the thread that runs through the book—the mystery that binds things together and makes life meaningful, purposeful, potentially joyful and spiritually fulfilling. Williams sees ‘grace’ as being that which underpins and lies behind synchronicity and divinatory practices and as a force by which we can learn to be guided.Rooted in clinical work, Exploring Spirituality from a Post-Jungian Perspective is fascinating reading for Jungian analysts, therapists and academics, as well as for general readers interested in a spiritual journey, both personally and for clinical purposes.

Audiokniha na CD - autor Karin Lednická, čte Vilma Cibulková ROMÁNOVÁ KRONIKA ZTRACENÉHO MĚSTA, LÉTA 1894-1921 Podtitul knihy lapidárně shrnuje příběh o někdejší pastevecké vesnici, která vystavěla svůj rozkvět na těžbě uhlí, aby o století později zašla na úbytě – také kvůli těžbě uhlí. Dnes už z výstavních budov a vznosné katedrály nezbylo nic. Jen šikmý kostel, který strmě a varovně ční do pusté krajiny. Kniha začíná obrovským důlním neštěstím roku 1894, které drsně zasáhlo do života obyvatel celého kraje. Patří mezi ně i hrdinové této knihy, jejichž pohnuté osudy můžeme po následující čtvrtstoletí sledovat. Barbora, Julka a Ludwik jsou představiteli tří naprosto odlišných dějových linií, které se však na mnoha místech proplétají a vytvářejí plastický obraz polozapomenutých časů, jejichž drsnost je pro dnešního čtenáře v mnoha ohledech téměř nepředstavitelná.

Čtvrtý svazek edice věnované Topičovu salonu představuje období v rozmezí let 1894 - 1899, kdy se salon objevil na pražské umělecké scéně poprvé. František Topič jej založil jako výstavní síň svého nakladatelství a knihkupectví, které sídlilo na tehdejší Ferdinandově třídě č. 9 (dnešní Národní 7) v Praze. Přestože kulturní politika soukromých galerií v 19. století není prozatím dostatečně zmapována, je zřejmé, že Topičovy obchodní a výstavní aktivity byly ve své době spíše ojedinělé a směle konkurovaly oficiálním institucím. Program salonu zahrnoval monografické, skupinové a tematické výstavy českých i zahraničních umělců stejně jako prodej uměleckých předmětů a reprodukcí. Publikace Topičův salon 1894 - 1899 zachovává strukturu předchozích dílů. Obsahuje dílčí studie o nakladatelské a knihkupecké činnosti Františka Topiče, architektuře domu a prostoru pro expozice, výstavních aktivitách a plakátech. Cennou součástí je také antologie dobových textů z vybraných katalogů a soupis všech uvedených výstav z daného období s bibliografií ohlasů.

An eye-opening account on what we get wrong about sex and gender and a “formidable challenge to our politics, on both the right and the left…informed by science, law, and personal experience” (Guy-Uriel Charles, Harvard Law School professor)—and how we can be a thoughtful, sex-smart society.On Sex and Gender focuses on three sequential and consequential questions: What is sex as opposed to gender? How does sex matter in our everyday lives? And how should it be reflected in law and policy? All three have been front-and-center in American life and politics since the rise of the trans right movement: They are included in both major parties’ political platforms. They are the subject of ongoing litigation in the federal courts and of highly contentious legislation on Capitol Hill. And they are a pivotal issue in the culture wars between left and right playing out around the dinner tables, on campuses and school boards, on op-ed pages, and in corporate handbooks. Doriane Coleman challenges both sides to chart a better way. In a book that is equal parts scientific explanation, historical examination, and personal reflection, she argues that denying biological sex and focusing only on gender would have detrimental effects on women’s ...

Rather than as a Falstaffian figure of limited intellect, Edmund Wehrle reveals Babe Ruth as an ambitious, independent operator, one not afraid to challenge baseball’s draconian labor system. To the baseball establishment, Ruth’s immense popularity represented opportunity, but his rebelliousness and potential to overturn the status quo presented a threat. After a decades-long campaign waged by baseball to contain and discredit him, the Babe, frustrated and struggling with injuries and illness, grew more acquiescent, but the image of Ruth that baseball perpetuated still informs how many people remember Babe Ruth to this day. This new perspective, approaching Ruth more seriously and placing his life in fuller context, is long overdue.

Kniha - autor Peter Zheutlin, 224 stran, česky, plátěný potah Kdo vlastně byla první žena, která objela svět na kole? Do současnosti se o ní u nás nikdo nezmínil ani slovem. A to přesto, že byla v Americe jednou z nejslavnějších žen 19. století. Byla volnomyšlenkářkou spojující v sobě sportovkyni, odvážnou obchodnici a světoběžnici. Onou první ženou, která na bicyklu obkroužila zeměkouli, byla Annie "Londonderry" Cohen Kopchovsky. Narodila se jako Annie Cohen v židovské rodině v Rize v dnešním Lotyšsku v roce 1870 a emigrovala do Spojených států s rodiči ještě jako dítě. V osmnácti letech se provdala za Maxe Kopchovského a měla s ním v následujících čtyřech letech tři děti. V roce 1894 opustila dočasně manžela a své malé děti ve věku 5, 3 a 2 roky a odstartovala 25. června v Bostonu před davem 500 lidí. Jejím cílem bylo objet zeměkouli v čase 15 měsíců a vydělat si tím 5000 dolarů. Cestou vyměnila vlající sukni a korzet za pánské podkasané kalhoty sahající pod...

Podtitul knihy výstižne zhŕňa príbeh o niekdajšej pastierskej dedine, ktorá vystavala svoj rozkvet na ťažbe uhlia, aby sa o storočie neskôr obrátila navnivoč – tiež kvôli ťažbe uhlia. Dnes už z výstavných budov a hrdo sa týčiacich veží nezostalo nič. Len šikmý kostol, ktorý stroho a varovne čnie do pustej krajiny.Kniha začína obrovským banským nešťastím v roku 1894, ktoré drsne zasiahlo do života obyvateľov celého kraja. Patria medzi nich aj hrdinovia tejto knihy, ktorých pohnuté osudy môžeme nasledujúce štvrťstoročie sledovať.BARBORA, JULKA a LUDWIK sú predstavitelia troch úplne odlišných dejových línií, ktoré sa však na mnohých miestach prepletajú a vytvárajú plastický obraz polozabudnutých čias, ktorých drsnosť je pre dnešného čitateľa v mnohých ohľadoch takmer nepredstaviteľná. Každý z hrdinov čelí životným výzvam po svojom: niekto sa im trpne poddáva, iný sa snaží uchopiť šance, ktoré mu kvasiaca doba ponúka. Do všetkých osudov však opakovane a nemilosrdne zasahujú veľké dejiny, ktoré môžu úsilie obyčajného človeka ľahko premeniť na prach. Alebo nie.Príbeh je vystavaný na skutočných udalostiach, z ktorých mnohé doteraz neboli v českej románovej tvorbe spracované.

Much more than the memoir of a fashion model, this is the rarely-told insider story of the most glamorous, grotty and downright insane industries' SALI HUGHESJoin Ruth Crilly in this comic memoir as she teeters through the noughties and lifts the lid on her days as an international fashion model. Told with unparalleled wit and remarkable detail, this is a book for anyone who dreams big and aims high but never quite reaches their goal.At twenty years old, five feet eight and with boobs that were 'inconveniently fulsome', Ruth was not quite young enough, tall enough or waif-like enough to ever hope for a meteoric rise to supermodel status. And yet her sheer optimism and questionable grasp on reality led her to abandon her law degree and begin a career with one of the biggest agencies in the world.Follow Ruth through a rip-roaring, hilarious decade of not-quite-making-it as a supermodel.
