Cut and Fold Techniques for Pop-Up Designs - Paul Jackson
Introducing techniques for making pop-ups from one sheet of card, the third title in this series on paper engineering takes folding techniques into the third dimension. Each chapter introduces a new technical idea and shows how that technique can be adapted in many different ways, or combined with techniques from earlier chapters. These 3-D techniques can be incorporated into any design where typography and/or illustration are used, including mail-shots, personal publicity, invitations, business cards and greetings cards. With their emphasis on surface design over complex cutting, the pop-ups have an instant appeal for designers.Following the elegant, easy-to-follow style of Paul Jackson’s other titles for Laurence King, Cut and Fold Techniques for Pop-Up Designs is an essential resource for marketing professionals and design students.

Andrew Jackson - Teri Kanefield
This biography for young readers explores the life of the controversial seventh U.S. president, as well as his successes, failures, and legacy.Born in the Carolina backwoods, Andrew Jackson joined the American Revolutionary War at the age of thirteen. After a reckless youth of gunfights, gambling, and general mischief, he rose to national fame as the general who defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans.Jackson ran for president as a political outsider, championing the interest of common farmers and frontiersmen. Determined to take down the wealthy, well-educated East Coast “elites,†he pledged to destroy the national bank—which he believed was an engine of corruption serving the interest of bankers and industrialists. A staunch nationalist, he sought to secure and expand the nation''s borders. Believing that "we the people" included white men only, he protected the practice of slavery, and opened new lands for white settlers by pushing the Native people westward. Jackson, a polarizing figure in his era, ignited a populist movement that remains a powerful force in our national politics. The book includes selections of Jackson''s writings, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.“A concise profile that successfully reveals Jackson''s personal complexities and contradictions and his controversial legacy as a public figure.†—Kirkus Reviews

Eleven Rings - Phil Jackson
For fans of the hit Netflix docuseries The Last Dance.During his storied career as head coach of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson won more championships than any coach in the history of professional sports. Even more important, he succeeded in never wavering from coaching his way, from a place of deep values. Jackson was tagged as the ''Zen master'' half in jest by sportswriters, but the nickname speaks to an important truth: this is a coach who inspired, not goaded; who led by awakening and challenging the better angels of his players’ nature, not their egos, fear, or greed.This is the story of a preacher’s kid from North Dakota who grew up to be one of the most innovative leaders of our time. In his quest to reinvent himself, Jackson explored everything from humanistic psychology and Native American philosophy to Zen meditation. In the process, he developed a new approach to leadership based on freedom, authenticity, and selfless teamwork that turned the hyper-competitive world of professional sports on its head.In Eleven Rings, Jackson candidly describes how he:- Learned the secrets of mindfulness and team chemistry while playing for the champion New York Knicks in the 1970s- Managed Michael Jordan, the greatest player in the world, and got him to embrace selflessness, even if it meant losing a scoring title- Forged successful teams out of players of varying abilities by getting them to trust one another and perform in sync- Inspired Dennis Rodman and other ''uncoachable'' personalities to devote themselves to something larger than themselves- Transformed Kobe Bryant from a rebellious teenager into a mature leader of a championship team. Eleven times, Jackson led his teams to the ultimate goal: the NBA championship six times with the Chicago Bulls and five times with the Los Angeles Lakers. We all know the legendary stars on those teams, or think we do. What Eleven Rings shows us, however, is that when it comes to the most important lessons, we don’t know very much at all. This book is full of revelations: about fascinating personalities and their drive to win; about the wellsprings of motivation and competition at the highest levels; and about what it takes to bring out the best in ourselves and others.

Black Women Taught Us - Jenn M. Jackson
A reclamation of essential history and a hopeful gesture toward a better political future, this is what listening to Black women looks like—from a professor of political science and columnist for Teen Vogue. “Jenn M. Jackson is a beautiful writer and excellent scholar. In this book, they pay tribute to generations of Black women organizers and set forward a bold and courageous blueprint for our collective liberation.”—Imani Perry, author of South to AmericaThis is my offering. My love letter to them, and to us.Jenn M. Jackson, PhD, has been known to bring historical acuity to some of the most controversial topics in America today. Now, in their first book, Jackson applies their critical analysis to the questions that have long energized their work: Why has Black women’s freedom fighting been so overlooked throughout history, and what has our society lost because of our refusal to engage with our forestrugglers’ lessons?A love letter to those who have been minimized and forgotten, this collection repositions Black women’s intellectual and political work at the center of today’s liberation movements.Across eleven original essays that explore the legacy of Black women writers and leaders—from Harriet Jacobs and Ida B. Wells to the Combahee River Collective and Audre Lorde—Jackson sets the record straight about Black women’s longtime movement organizing, theorizing, and coalition building in the name of racial, gender, and sexual justice in the United States and abroad. These essays show, in both critical and deeply personal terms, how Black women have been at the center of modern liberation movements despite the erasure and misrecognition of their efforts. Jackson illustrates how Black women have frequently done the work of liberation at great risk to their lives and livelihoods.For a new generation of movement organizers and co-strugglers, Black Women Taught Us serves as a reminder that Black women were the first ones to teach us how to fight racism, how to name that fight, and how to imagine a more just world for everyone.

Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter - Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFor the first time, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback—from tragic personal loss to thriving businessman and cable’s highest-paid executive—in this unique self-help guide, his first since his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The 50th Law.In his early twenties Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin’s family. The series quickly became “appointment” television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network—the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.Now, in his most personal book, Jackson shakes up the self-help category with his unique, cutting-edge lessons and hard-earned advice on embracing change. Where The 50th Law tells readers “fear nothing and you shall succeed,” Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter builds on this message, combining it with Jackson’s street smarts and hard-learned corporate savvy to help readers successfully achieve their own comeback—and to learn to flow with the changes that disrupt their own lives.

Kurt Jackson's Rivers - Jackson Kurt
From source to sea, artist Kurt Jackson's fascination with the rivers of the British Isles and beyond has endured throughout his life. This book explores, for the first time, Jackson's visual and written responses to the rivers that he has followed, from the continent of Africa to his home county of Cornwall. The diversity of the waterways that Jackson has come to know through his travels is echoed in his images, which capture habitats rich in flora and fauna. We can also discern the changing face of our rivers - choked by pollution and straining to survive the abuses inflicted since industrialisation restricted the natural flow of the network of blue lines that trickle, meander and run through our lands. Celebrating those networks common to us all, this important publication reminds us of the splendours of our rivers - powerful and fragile in equal measure.

Suzanne Jackson - Kellie Jones, Taylor Jasper, Paulina Pobocha
A richly illustrated account tracing the full arc of contemporary painter Suzanne Jackson’s life and multifaceted artistic visionFirst and foremost a painter, Suzanne Jackson has worked for six decades in a dizzying array of genres, including drawing, printmaking, poetry, dance, and theater design. Suzanne Jackson: What Is Love reveals Jackson’s achievements as a leading and influential artist who has been in dialogue with her contemporaries, from Betye Saar and Emory Douglas to Senga Nengudi and Mary Lovelace O’Neal. This wide-ranging book illuminates Jackson’s work and its connections to nature, environmentalism, performance, feminism, and Black and Native traditions. It explores the way her innovative hanging acrylic works break the canvas; the role of dance and set design in Jackson’s practice; and her trailblazing Los Angeles art space Gallery 32, which she ran from 1968 to 1970, and which became a focus for a circle of fellow emerging artists. The book also features artist dialogues between Jackson and Nengudi, Saar, Fred Eversley, and Richard Mayhew, as well as a conversation between Jackson and SFMOMA painting conservator Jennifer Hickey.

In response to an awful camp orientation video created by the god Apollo, Percy Jackson and other residents of Camp Half-Blood answer such questions as "What is this place?" and "Do I get to keep the T-shirt?"Newbies can check out the section on the Divine Cabins, read up on Magical Landmarks, and consult the chapter of Training Arenas.But Camp Half-Blood Confidential explores much more than just the buildings and grounds. It includes info that can only be learned from those who live there. For instance, campers do not always co-exist in peace and harmony. The camp is not run with superior efficiency. Prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity. Sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called Camp Half-Blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown. Chiron himself introduces the book with a brief history of training based on his millennia of experience. And, of course, divine words of wisdom from the god Apollo himself are included, because the demigod authors would prefer not to be struck down by him, thank you very much.

Lovely One - Ketanji Brown Jackson
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In her “vulnerable, tender, and infinitely inspirational” (Oprah Daily) memoir, the first Black woman to ever be appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States chronicles her extraordinary life story. “A billowingly triumphant American tale.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEARWith this unflinching account, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invites readers into her life and world, tracing her family’s ascent from segregation to her confirmation on America’s highest court within the span of one generation. Named “Ketanji Onyika,” meaning “Lovely One,” based on a suggestion from her aunt, a Peace Corps worker stationed in West Africa, Justice Jackson learned from her educator parents to take pride in her heritage since birth. She describes her resolve as a young girl to honor this legacy and realize her dreams: from hearing stories of her grandparents and parents breaking barriers in the segregated South, to honing her voice in high school as an oratory champion and student body president, to graduating magna cum laude from Harvard, where she performed in musical theater and improv and participated in pivotal student organizations. Here, Justice Jackson pulls back the curtain, marrying the public record of her life with what is less known. She reveals what it takes to advance in the legal profession when most people in power don’t look like you, and to reconcile a demanding career with the joys and sacrifices of marriage and motherhood. Through trials and triumphs, Justice Jackson’s journey will resonate with dreamers everywhere, especially those who nourish outsized ambitions and refuse to be turned aside. This moving, openhearted tale will spread hope for a more just world, for generations to come.

''This is a book that is surely about killers, but they don''t take the spotlight. That belongs to the detectives who work the case, whose eyes are not jaundiced and who steadily, methodically close in. In them you find humanity and hope in a city where killers are often kings'' Michael Connelly''A great true-crime story and a great cop memoir-about how they do it and, above all, why they do it'' Lee Child****A TRUE STORY OF MURDER AND BETRAYAL IN LOS ANGELES FROM LAPD DETECTIVE RICK JACKSON, A KEY INSPIRATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF HARRY BOSCH, WITH AN INTRODUCTION FROM MICHAEL CONNELLY ****Lifelong LAPD Homicide Detective Rick Jackson takes us behind the scenes of the murder case he could never let go.In June 1990, Ronald Baker was found repeatedly stabbed to death in a tunnel near Spahn Ranch, where the Manson Family once lived. Jackson and his partner, Frank Garcia, were assigned the case.But who would have motive to kill a straight-A UCLA student? What about the proximity to the Manson ranch? Or the pentagram pendant around Ron''s neck? Suspicions soon fall on Baker''s two roommates, one Black,and one white.As the case unfolds over the years it becomes a sprawling tale of betrayal, grief and redemption - as well as a portrait of Los Angeles on the brink, and America''s reckoning with racial injustice in the wake of Rodney King.Black Tunnel White Magic is a true-crime odyssey into the dark, beating heart of a murder investigation, and shows the true cost of justice for the detectives themselves.

Peter Wohlleben Moudrost lesa Provedení: Tištěná kniha
Proč si tuto knihu přečíst V úvodu knihy vypráví Wohlleben o svém profesním vývoji od dob studií až po pozici lesního hospodáře , který postupně začíná pociťovat nesoulad s tradičními metodami lesního hospodaření. Jeho zájem se proto obrací k principům ekologického lesnictví , což vede k neshodám s jeho nadřízenými, až nakonec opouští svou pozici, aby v obci Hümmel mohl uskutečnit svou vizi udržitelného lesnictví. Dále si můžete přečíst o složitých sociálních vztazích mezi různě starými stromy, které jsou známkou zdravého lesa . Autor popisuje, jak stromy reagují na jaro, a jak se vzájemně podporují v nemoci. Autor také objasňuje, proč jsou bukové lesy nejen více přirozené, ale i ekonomicky výhodnější ve srovnání s lesy smrkovými a borovicovými, vysazenými pro rychlou a levnou produkci dřeva. Peter Wohlleben se nebojí kritizovat konvenční lesnictví a poukázat na spolupráci lesníků s loveckými lobbistickými skupina a na zavádějící marketingové strategie, které mají za cíl vás přesvědčit o ochranářském poslání lesníků a myslivců . Kritizuje nejen jednotlivce, ale celý přístup k lesu jako k produktu závislému na lidské péči. Nicméně Wohlleben nezůstává pouze u kritiky, ale představuje i alternativy pro ekologické lesnictví, které by mohlo napomoci obnově původních bukových pralesů ve střední Evropě . Ukazuje, že ekonomický profit je možné generovat bez kácení stromů, například prostřednictvím rekreačních aktivit v lese. Wohllebenova práce je výzvou k změně, v níž osobně a vášnivě vysvětluje, co je nutné udělat pro zachování původních lesů v jejich autentické podobě. Nahlédněte do knihy Audiokniha Čte Aleš Procházka.

Děkuji. Doporučuji všem vnímavým lidem, kterým není lhostejný život na Zemi. Vlastimil Obr Proti knize Tajný život stromů, která vysvětluje, že strom je živý tvor a les zase živý organismus a v níž autor jen krátce zavzpomínal na svá učednická léta, je tato kniha mnohem více plná osobních vzpomínek, které mapují autorovu cestu od běžného lesníka až po zapáleného ochránce lesa. Tématu samotného lesa se ovšem nevyhýbá a upozorňuje na zapomenutý fakt, že králem evropských lesů není smrk, ale buk, a že vztah ochranářsky založeného lesníka nemusí být nutně v souladu s názory státních úředníků a myslivců a lovců. Nejde o zelenou agitku, ale o ucelené, životem a praxí ověřené názory rozumného člověka, který pro les žije. A nám z města nezbývá než mu i trochu závidět. Obě knihy krásně načetl Aleš Procházka. Bukiet Při čtení knihy Petra Wohllebena jsem byl naprosto uchvácen přirozenou lidskostí jeho psaného textu. Kniha přinášející nespočet postřehů pramenících z dlouholetých zkušeností, vytrvalého celoživotního studia a hlavně z neochvějné lásky ke svému oboru, neztrácí po celou dobu spád a je čtivá do posledního řádku. Krásná práce! Jakub Jiroušek Velmi krásná kniha, okořeněná citem a láskou k přírodě. Tato kniha poskytuje velmi dobrý přehled o všem, co definuje les. Autor opakovaně kritizuje konvenční způsoby hospodaření, které způsobují velké škody, a proto musí být nahrazeny jinými metodami. Argumenty, které Wohlleben přináší, jsou důsledně promyšlené a naprosto přesvědčivé. Nemusíte být odborníkem, abyste si uvědomili, že Wohlleben má pravdu. Stačí procházka lesem s otevřenýma očima. Kniha je věcná a mimořádně poučná pro každého laika. Jitty82 I když už leccos zaznělo v dřívějších knihách, stejně to nevadí. Přistupuju k této knize tak, že to může být pro někoho první autorův titul, a proto je třeba vše znovu odvyprávět. Protože dělá osvětu a moc dobrou. Uvažuje logicky, rozumně a klidně přizná i vlastní chyby, z kterých se poučil. Pokud začnete číst Wohllebena, stejně jako já se asi pustíte do všech dalších. Neudělat to by byla chyba. Medialstar O autorovi Peter Wohlleben Peter Wohlleben se narodil v roce 1964 v Bonnu. Již od malička se zajímal o přírodu a původně chtěl studovat biologii. Dal ale na radu své matky a rozhodl se studovat lesnictví. Po studiích strávil přes dvacet let v zemské lesní správě, kde nejdříve pracoval jako vedoucí kanceláře a později se stal lesníkem. Zde si našel cestu k ekologickému lesnictví a organizaci túr pro turisty a kurzů pro studenty. V roce 2007 mu vyšla první kniha a během několika následujících let se stal jedním z nejprodávanějších autorů. V současnosti pracuje a vyučuje na Lesní akademii v německém Eifelu a globálně se zasazuje o obnovu pralesů. Často vystupuje v televizních programech, pořádá přednášky a semináře a píše knihy týkající se lesa a ochrany přírody. Jeho bestsellery Tajný život stromů, Citový život zvířat, Tajná síť přírody, Tajemné pouto mezi člověkem a přírodou a Než stromům dojde dech nadchly čtenáře po celém světě. Za emocionálně působivé a nekonvenční zprostředkovávání vědeckých poznatků mu byla v roce 2019 udělena Bavorská státní medaile Za zásluhy o životní prostředí. Film z roku 2020 Tajný život stromů, vycházející ze stejnojmenné knihy, zhlédlo v kinech na 350 tisíc lidí. Les umí dostat z lidí to nejlepší! Romantický hvozd – hluboké ticho, vůně mechu a pryskyřice, ševelení v korunách stromů: představujete si les také tak? Tato nádherná místa se stávají vlivem lidské chamtivosti a znečišťování čím dál vzácnějšími. Peter Wohlleben nám ukazuje, že pevnější a zdravější vztah s přírodou kolem nás je uskutečnitelný, a především potřebný. Křehký ekosystém lesa, v němž spolu rostliny komunikují a navzájem si pomáhají, můžeme chránit i my. Autor nám v této knize předává, čemu ho sám les naučil. Chopme se nyní příležitosti a doprovoďme ho na jeho cestách hlubokými, tajuplnými lesy. Nechme se přitom stále znovu překvapovat a objevujme divokou, autentickou přírodu. Naučíme se tak víc starat o stromy, a tím i o sebe. O lese, jaký je a jaký by mohl být. Peter Wohlleben, lesník s hlubokou láskou k lesu, nám ukazuje les takový, jaký je i jaký by mohl být. To, co mylně považujeme za nedotčenou přírodu, je pouze masa stromů, mající sloužit účelům lesního hospodářství a lovu. Přirozeně rostoucím stromům se daří v pospolitosti, a ta skrývá mnohá tajemství – od téměř neprozkoumaných spodních vrstev lesní půdy až po nejvyšší vrcholky. Spolu s Peterem Wohllebenem znovu objevíme kouzlo přírody a porozumíme životu stromů. Autor Peter Wohlleben (1964) se již od dětství chtěl stát ochráncem přírody. Studoval lesnictví a přes dvacet let pracoval jako úředník zemské lesní správy. Dnes vede Lesní akademii v německém regionu Eifel a usiluje o návrat pralesů do různých oblastí světa. Často vystupuje v televizních pořadech, pořádá přednášky a semináře a píše knihy na témata týkající se lesa a ochrany přírody. Svými bestsellery Tajný život stromů, Citový život zvířat, Slyšíš, jak mluví stromy a dalšími nadchl čtenáře po celém světě. V Německu nedávno začal vydávat časopis Wohllebenův svět. V roce 2019 mu byla udělena Bavorská státní medaile za zásluhy při ochraně životního prostředí, a to za jeho citlivé a nekonvenční zprostředkovávání vědeckých poznatků. Tato kniha je vytištěná na ekologickém recyklovaném papíře s certifikátem FSC.
