Mixing the contemporary with the ancient, MOSAICS spotlights ground-breaking emerging artist Cameron Welch.The inaugural monograph of multidisciplinary artist Cameron Welch presents a vivid, comprehensive look into a young artist’s practice. Welch’s work has straddled sculpture, collage, and textiles, but in early 2017, he shifted to mosaic as his primary medium. As a child, the artist was introduced to mosaic by his grandmother, an experience that has a lasting impact on the way he works the age-old medium to piece together disparate materials and histories. Welch treats mosaic as a physical manifestation of intertextuality, referring to the colliding contexts he unearths in the work as a kind of "infiltration."While Welch’s chosen medium evokes ancient traditions, the effect of his work is decidedly contemporary. His chaotic, jumbled compositions speak to the same anxiety felt in the Information Age, an era when unlimited information is available at the tap of a screen. Amidst the pictorial chaos of Welch’s mosaics, the figures who emerge range from familiar to foreign, comical to heroic. Frequently depicting himself and figures from his own life, Welch sheds light on unsung histories within the intricate topology of his creations. An incisive essay by Greek and Roman Art scholar Alexis Belis helps readers contextualize Welch’s work within historical and contemporary creative practice.

THE TIMES BOOK OF THE WEEKNamed one of The Telegraph''s ''Best Biographies of the Year 2024''Queen Victoria had forty-two grandchildren but the four Princesses of Hesse were held in her particular favour. After the sudden death of her daughter Alice, Queen Victoria took an obsessive interest in the marriage prospects of the four girls their mother had left behind, hoping this might secure for them a happy future.

How the wisdom of Herodotus can fortify us against political falsehoods and violent extremism  Nearly 2,500 years ago, the Greek writer Herodotus introduced the concept of objective truth derived from factual investigation and empirical deduction. Writing just before the start of the catastrophic Peloponnesian War (431–404 BCE), Herodotus addressed an increasingly polarized Greek world. His Histories demonstrates that the capacity for humane moral action depends on the ability to resist unthinking allegiance to authoritative fictions. Herodotus offers an indispensable, nonpartisan approach for countering poisonous ideologies and violent conflict emanating from all extremes of the political kaleidoscope.  Interpreting some of Herodotus’s most compelling stories, Emily Katz Anhalt illuminates this ancient writer’s vital insights concerning sexual violence, deception, foreign ways, political equality, and more. The Histories urges us to value reality, restrain destructive passions, and acknowledge the essential humanity of every human being—crucial guidance for navigating our own divisive and volatile political climate. Inviting us to take responsibility for our own choices and their consequences, Herodotus exposes autocratic leadership and abuses of power as self-defeating. Herodotus guides readers in assembling and assessing information, distinguishing fact from fiction, and making compassionate moral evaluations. The ancient Greeks never achieved an egalitarian, just society. Herodotus equips us to do better.

Více zdravotní péče rovná se lepší zdraví? Ne! Právě naopak. Tvrdí to a v této knize dokazuje profesor v oboru medicíny H. Gilbert Welch. Podle něj až příliš mnoho lidí podstupuje screeningové testy a vyšetření se všemi škodlivými dopady. Na základě nepřiměřených, zbytečně poplašných diagnóz pak absolvují léčbu, kterou nepotřebují - a která jim v lepším případě neprospěje a v horším ublíží. Lidem se vnucuje představa, že vyhledávání zdravotní péče je nejdůležitějším prostředkem zachování zdraví a životní pohody. Welch upozorňuje, že s výjimkou akutní zdravotní péče je všechno jinak: -více informací někdy škodí (protože dotyčného vyděsí), -včasná diagnóza může ze vcelku zdravého jedince udělat předčasného pacienta, -snaha omezit rizika paradoxně vytváří rizika nová, -nové metody léčby nemusejí být nutně lepší (jsou jen nebezpečnější), -přehnané úsilí vyhnout se smrti může člověku zkazit celý život. Zkušený lékař a epidemiolog dochází k jednoznačnému závěru: hlavním problémem zdravotní péče je její nepatrná prospěšnost.

Někdy je opravdu těžké říct pravdu a přiznat, že jsme udělali něco špatně. Zároveň chceme, aby naše děti byly pravdomluvné. Chceme jim důvěřovat. Jak toho docílit? Tomu se věnuje knížka Lucinčino zatloukání. Je to knížka o selhání, vyznání, a především o radosti z pravdy a odpuštění. Lucinka Mývalová dostala pětku z testu z matematiky a cítí se hrozně. Jenže to není ta největší šlamastika – zalhala, protože se jí nechtělo učit, a teď zatlouká, aby se neprovalila pravda. Ed Welch pomocí úžasného příběhu od Jocelyn Flanders provádí děti procesem vyznání a prosby za odpuštění. Zároveň poukazuje na to, že hlavní roli v pravdomluvnosti dětí hraje jednání rodičů. A tak v závěru knížky Ed Welch vysvětluje, jak vytvořit milující bezpečné prostředí, ve kterém se oslavuje pravda a děti se nebojí přiznat chybu.

A magnificently illustrated study of skin in Renaissance Europe.People in the Renaissance saw skin differently from how we do today. The Europe of 1500 to 1700 was a world of humours, and skin – the clothing of the body – was thought to be dangerously porous.In this landmark book, Evelyn Welch explores Renaissance skin as a bodily surface, as physical matter and as a generator of new knowledge. Ranging across anatomy, surgery and sausage making, she reveals how skin was managed by physicians as well as by glovemakers, butchers and parchment makers. How did people protect their health in a changing global environment, one where the air itself could be pathogenic? How did they see their bodies in a world where there was suddenly a multiplicity of skin colours and decorations? Addressing these questions and more, Welch show us what happens when you see skin differently, either in the marketplace, where men and women from far-away lands were put on display, or under the microscope. In doing so, she reveals that the past had a distinctive and very different way of understanding bodily experiences.

The go-to Southern Peloponnese travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover the Southern Peloponnese on foot with the Sunflower Southern Peloponnese travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. The Sunflower Southern Peloponnese guide is indispensable for hiking in the Peloponnese or seeing the Peloponnese by car. There are hidden landscapes throughout mainland Greece, but the region which packs the most variety into the smallest space is the Peloponnese. From the beaches of Arcadia to the fir forests of Mt Parnon, from the olive groves of Kalamata to the pyramidal peak of Prophet Elijah, from classical Sparta to medieval Mani, this compact semi-island has it all. Though the ancients called it ''the island of Pelops'', after their mythical king, this three-fingered landmass is joined to the mainland by a narrow isthmus at Corinth. Only in the 19th century was a canal finally cut through the isthmus, but it retains the cultural diversity and spectacular scenery of the mainland.Because there''s so much to discover, the author has drawn an east-west line roughly through the middle of the Peloponnese, and limited the book to the southern half. By good fortune, this contains its highest mountain range (Mt Taygetus), its finest Byzantine chapels and medieval forts (in the Mani), its wildest seascapes (Capes Tainaron and Maleas), its largest forest (Mt Parnon) and, arguably, some of its loveliest beaches (Pylos, Kiparissi and Elafonisos, to name just a few.Whatever your age or ability we''ve got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable holiday in the southern Peloponnese.Inside the Sunflower Southern Peloponnese guide book you''ll find:50 long and short walks for all ages and abilities - each walk is graded so you can easily match your ability to the level of walkTopographical walking maps - give you a clear sense of the surrounding terrain with a scale of 1:50 000Free downloadable gps tracks - for the techiesSatnav guidance to walk starts for motorists 5 car tours and fold-out touring map - for easy reference on your tour Strolls to idyllic picnic spots - enjoy our recommendations for where to picnic along the wayTimetables for public transport - ideal if you want to link two walks or avoid hiring a car on your holidayOnline update service for the latest informationWhether you tour the islands by car or explore on foot, we look forward to showing you around.Â

The go-to Southern Tenerife and La Gomera travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours.  Discover La Gomera and Southern Tenerife on foot with the Sunflower Southern Tenerife and La Gomera travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. This new 9th edition of Southern Tenerife and La Gomera, indispensable for hiking and seeing the islands by car, has been carefully revised on the ground just prior to publication; for instance, it includes a map of the devastating fire damage on the cumbre dorsal in Tenerife. We are pleased to have the collaboration of Jan Kostura on this new edition. He was on Tenerife during the fires and on Gomera subsequently, and he guides on both islands a couple of times a year. Thanks to him the Guergues walk, which was closed to walkers illegally, has been replaced by a new but similar route further north. The book is for those staying on La Gomera or in the south of Tenerife within easy reach of the Gomera ferry. Since the two islands are just a 35-minute ferry ride apart, the book covers walks and tours on both. There are car tours with picnic suggestions ranging all over both islands, with pull-out touring maps and plans for the larger conurbations.Walks are described throughout the whole of La Gomera, while for Tenerife there are walks in the south and west. All walks are illustrated with newly drawn 1:50,000 topo maps based on OpenStreet mapping. GPS tracks are available for all the walks, and there are satnav coordinates to the starting points. All ‘official’ signposted and waymarked government trails have been highlighted and numbered on the walking maps – a real plus: if a walker comes across a signpost for a route not fully described in Noel’s text, it can still be used as a short- (or long-!)cut. (Note: those going to Tenerife for a long walking holiday, who will be based in the south, should ideally have this book and Landscapes of Tenerife.)Area covered: The book is divided into two parts. The major emphasis is on exploring the whole of La Gomera by car or on foot. But the Tenerife section of the book is also packed with suggestions: there are tours (from Playa de las Américas/Los Cristianos) covering the whole of Tenerife by car, as well as the best walking in Tenerife’s south and west.Whatever your age or ability we’ve got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable holiday in Gomera and southern Tenerife.Inside the Sunflower Southern Tenerife and La Gomera guide book you’ll find:70 long and short walks for all ages and abilities – each walk is graded so you can easily match your ability to the level of walkTopographical walking maps – give you a clear sense of the surrounding terrainFree downloadable gps tracks – for the techiesSatnav guidance to walk starts for motorists 6 car tours and fold-out touring map – for easy reference on your tour Strolls to idyllic picnic spots – enjoy our recommendations for where to picnic along the wayTimetables for public transport – ideal if you want to link two walks or avoid hiring a car on your holidayOnline update service for the latest informationPlans of San Sebastián (La Gomera), Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos (Tenerife) are also includedWhether you tour La Gomera and Southern Tenerife by car or explore on foot, we look forward to showing you around.

With the era of British Railways’ transition from steam to diesel and electric influencing the country-wide fleets of trains beyond the 1970’s, the Southern proved no exception to such, integrated within its flotillas of commuter electric trains. Southern Region motive power was territorial, thanks to the requirement for electric trains to remain within the live third rail network. Remaining pockets of non-electrified routes provided the last bastions of diesel-electric units and locomotive hauled trains, not only in Dorset, Sussex and Hampshire but also especially along the South West mainline to Exeter. Although with a limited range of Class 33, 47, 50 and 73 locomotives serving the passenger sector in the 1980’s, there remained interesting passenger workings to note such as that along Weymouth Quay or through the rural tranquillity of Devon’s countryside to Barnstaple. Railfreight ensured a wider variety of locomotives within in the Region. Standard colours of B.R. blue and grey livery may have been monotonous but the bright and clean Network SouthEast colours were welcomed, along with the much needed emphasis on running clean and punctual services as part of the Network SouthEast ethos. Brand new fleets of trains in the Southern area continue to offer the railway enthusiast and photographer the chance to study the impact of privatisation in the modern railway. Fortunately we have several preserved lines in the Southern area which perfectly capture the character of the traditional Southern branch line in the days of heritage diesels.

Westernová novela Zima v krvi, zasazená do šedesátých let 20. století, uvádí čtenáře do života indiánské komunity v rezervaci Fort Belknap v severoamerickém státě Montana. Protagonistou příběhu a současně jeho vypravěčem je bezejmenný indiánský mladík, odcizený své rodině i zemi, ubíjený pocitem existenciální prázdnoty, před níž marně uniká ke kerouacovsky nevázanému životu plnému divokých jízd, alkoholu či náhodného sexu. Jeho výpravy do nepřátelského světa mimo rezervaci, zpočátku motivované opětovným získáním odcizených věcí, se však postupně proměňují v cesty za nalezením vlastní identity a štěstí. A jeho pouť jej navíc přivede k odhalení dávného rodinného tajemství… Novela je prvotinou klasika americké indiánské literatury Jamese Welche (1940-2003). Autor patřil k předním představitelům hnutí Native American Renaissance (L. M. Silková, L. Erdrichová ad.), jež se od konce šedesátých let minulého století podílelo na oživení historického a kulturního dědictví původních obyvatel Severní Ameriky. Na motivy knihy byl v roce 2013 natočen stejnojmenný film. České vydání doplňuje doslov amerikanisty Miroslava Černého, který zasazuje Welchovo dílo do kontextu soudobé americké literatury a současně stručně naznačuje jeho význam ve vztahu k literatuře s indiánskou tematikou dosud vydané v České republice.

Smrt Jima Loneyho (1979) je po novele Zima v krvi (1974) druhou autorovou prózou věnovanou novodobým osudům původních obyvatel Severní Ameriky. Jim Loney je míšenec bělošského a indiánského původu. Odcizený oběma těmto společenstvím, vede v malém městečku v Montaně samotářský a bezútěšný život, naplněný nicneděláním a alkoholem. V dětství jej opustila matka i otec, a tak mu zůstala jen sestra Kate, která ale nechápe jeho svět. A také přítelkyně Rhea, která touží dát Loneyho životu nový cíl. Jeho existenci však může dát smysl jediné - přestat utíkat před minulostí a pokusit se nalézt své skutečné kořeny. A to i za cenu ztráty vlastního života… Rozsahem nevelká Welchova próza rozvíjí dojemný příběh o lásce bez naděje a životní cestě za pravdou vedoucí k sebezničení. - Vychází za laskavé podpory Ministerstva kultury ČR. James Welch (1940-2003) byl indiánský autor, jehož předkové pocházeli z kmenů Blackfeet a Gros Ventre. Jako přední představitel hnutí Native American Renaissance (L. M. Silková, L. Erdrichová ad.) měl zásadní vliv na utváření novodobé identity indiánského etnika v Severní Americe.

Smelling blood in the water, Mack''s mother, the original Magnolia Bishop, breezes in with a project lead--strings attached. If there''s one thing Magnolia lives for, aside from maintaining her station atop the Southern social ladder, it''s to control Mack''s life . . . and that includes keeping the identity of the absentee father Mack never knew in the shadows.While working for her mother is the professional equivalent of moving into one''s parent''s basement, Mack spots an opportunity to make it her own when a television network puts a call out for local designers. Pitching the home renovation TV pilot of her dreams--one with a historic preservation twist--might just be the way to finally prove herself. Still, she''ll have to do it covertly to avoid her mother''s interference.Just when Mack finds her professional footing, at home she spots an impossibly familiar figure unloading his moving truck into the newly sold house next door. She is furious, floored, and regrettably flustered because Lincoln Kelly is the one who got away. Fifteen years earlier he was a summer romance she inadvertently fell in love with, and when he left, following his dreams to New York, Mack was broken-hearted.Filled with characters who could step off the page and a reminder that nothing worth saving is beyond repair, this charming and delightful debut novel will resonate with readers of Southern women''s fiction by Mary Kay Andrews and Kristy Woodson Harvey.

The Southern Railway, and later British Railways’ Southern Region extended its reach into Devon and Cornwall, competing with the Great Western Railway. The main line served Exeter and Plymouth and named trains such as the ‘Atlantic Coast Express’ and the ‘Devon Belle’ took holidaymakers to the coastal resorts, including Padstow, Bude and Ilfracombe. In addition, a network of lines served smaller locations in the two counties. Many of these lines were closed in the 1960s, during the Beeching era, and earlier BR’s Western Region had taken over the Southern’s lines in Devon and Cornwall west of Exeter. In this book railway historian Robert Hendry documents in photographs the changing race of the railways on these lines, from the days of the Southern Railway into BR’s ownership.
