Spain * France: Catalunya & Barcelona - Mary-Ann Gallagher, Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls

Bradt’s newly published Catalunya & Barcelona has the most extensive coverage of any travel guidebook to the whole of this fiercely independent region (both French and Spanish sides), which is proud of its strong identity and packs a huge amount of fascination and contrast into a conveniently small area – from the Pyrenees mountains and sparkling Mediterranean coves to crisp cava and world-renowned cuisine. Although Barcelona, with its Gaudí architecture, may be the best-known destination, the rest of Catalunya generates the identity of which local residents are so proud. Although officially a semi-autonomous comunidad, Catalunya feels like a separate country – as arguably befits its history as a medieval kingdom that ruled parts of southernmost France, the Balearics and even what is now the Italian island of Sardinia. Written by long-time travel authors Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, and Mary-Ann Gallagher, who has lived in Barcelona since the mid-2000s, Bradt’s new guidebook furnishes detailed background and practical information in eight easy-to-follow chapters, providing in-depth guides to Barcelona plus the provincial capitals of Girona, Tarragon and Lleida, alongside sections covering the Costa Brava (where charming fishing villages and isolated beaches offset mass-tourism resorts), the Pyrenees (including Andorra) and French Catalunya (including ...

Dordogne & Lot - Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls

Bradt''s Dordogne & Lot, with Bordeaux & Toulouse is the most detailed guide to the entire region, with coverage that includes the Lot-et-Garonne and Tarn-et-Garonne in addition to Dordogne, Lot and Bordeaux. Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls (authors of the original Cadogan guide to the area) have lived in the Lot valley for over thirty years and are the perfect guides to the region''s landscapes, towns, food, art, architecture and, of course, wine: Bordeaux''s 8,800 wine châteaux produce on average 650 million bottles a year!Their guide starts with Bordeaux, the capital of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region as well as the world capital of wine, along with the départements of the Gironde, Dordogne, Lot, Lot-et-Garonne, and Tarn-et-Garonne in between. This is a land of great wines and stunning rivers, encompassing long sandy beaches along the Côte d''Argent (with Europe''s biggest sand dune on the south end), forests and rolling hills.

Italy: Emilia-Romagna - Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls

The new, extensively updated second edition of Bradt''s Emilia-Romagna is the most thorough and in-depth guidebook available to this entire north Italian region (not just Bologna and the main cities).

Demonic Foes - Richard Gallagher

The world’s leading psychiatric authority on demonic possession delves into the hidden world of exorcisms and his own transformation from cynic to believer over the course of his twenty-five-year career.Successful New York psychiatrist Richard Gallagher was skeptical yet intrigued when a hard-nosed, no-nonsense Catholic priest asked him to examine a woman for a possible exorcism. Meeting her, Gallagher was astonished. The woman’s behavior defied logic. In an instant, she could pinpoint a person’s secret weaknesses. She knew how individuals she’d never known had died, including Gallagher’s own mother, who passed away after a lengthy battle with ovarian cancer. She spoke fluently in multiple languages, including Latin—but only when she was in a trance. This was not psychosis, Gallagher concluded. It was, in his scientific estimation, what could only be describe as paranormal ability. The woman wasn’t mentally disturbed—she was possessed. This remarkable case was the first of many that Gallagher would encounter. Sought after today by leaders of all faiths—ministers, priests, rabbis and imams, Gallagher has spent a quarter-century studying demonic activity and exorcisms throughout history and has witnessed more cases than any other psychiatrist in the world today.In this eerie and enthralling book, Gallagher chronicles his most famous cases ...

Zrození kinematografického času - Doaneová Mary Ann

Až do 19. století byl čas obvykle vnímán jako kontinuální proud, živel, jehož plynutí prakticky nedokážeme ovlivnit. Nástup kapitalistické modernity spojený s jeho racionalizací a vynález fotografie, která jej dokázala zastavit, však radikálně proměnily způsob, jakým se k času vztahujeme. Mary Ann Doaneová, profesorka Kalifornské univerzity v Berkeley a autorka průkopnických studií věnovaných problematice genderu ve filmu, v knize Zrození kinematografického času zkoumá, jak se nahodilost zmrzlého okamžiku zachyceného fotografickým aparátem vzpírá vzrůstajícím požadavkům na standardizaci a racionalizaci života v kapitalistické společnosti. Jediná fotografie však nedokáže zachytit pohyb, teprve film jako souslednost po sobě následujících snímků znovu ustavuje ireverzibilní tok času. Jaká je ale povaha času, pokud jej chápeme zároveň jako proud i jako diskontinuální, kvantovanou veličinu? A co se odehrává v prostoru mezi jednotlivými snímky? Mary Ann Doaneová nám přesvědčivým způsobem představuje klíčovou roli, kterou kinematografický čas sehrál při zrodu modernity.

Mary - Anne Eekhout

Píše se rok 1816.Mary Shelleyové je teprve osmnáct let, když se svým milovaným manželem Percym navštíví u Ženevského jezera přátele Johna Polidoriho a lorda Byrona. Večer si u krbu vyprávějí strašidelné příběhy. Střípek z minulosti Mary vrátí o několik let zpátky do Skotska, kde zažila záhadné dobrodružství. Tato vzpomínka se stane základem světoznámého příběhu o Frankensteinovi.Mary je chvalozpěvem na fantazii, je příběhem o tvoření a složitém poutu mezi představivostí a skutečností. Knihu lze číst jako bildungsroman popisujíci zrání Mary coby spisovatelky a matky, jako intimní vyprávění o truchlení po nejbližších, ale také jako staromódní duchařský příběh nebo příběh dvojího milostného trojuhelníku. Mary je zkrátka dokonale dávkovaná směs žánrů.Anne Eekhout si odvážně pohrává s žánrovými prvky, které by se u méně nadaných autorů okamžitě změnily v klišé. Díky autorčinu strhujícímu vyprávění čtenáři před očima ožívá mladičká tvůrkyně mistrovského díla o nyní již nejznámějším netvorovi všech dob.

African American Artists and the New Deal Art Programs - Mary Ann Calo

This book examines the involvement of African American artists in the New Deal art programs of the 1930s. Emphasizing broader issues informed by the uniqueness of Black experience rather than individual artists’ works, Mary Ann Calo makes the case that the revolutionary vision of these federal art projects is best understood in the context of access to opportunity, mediated by the reality of racial segregation. Focusing primarily on the Federal Art Project (FAP) of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), Calo documents African American artists’ participation in community art centers in Harlem, in St. Louis, and throughout the South. She examines the internal workings of the Harlem Artists’ Guild, the Guild’s activities during the 1930s, and its alliances with other groups, such as the Artists’ Union and the National Negro Congress. Calo also explores African American artists’ representation in the exhibitions sponsored by WPA administrators and the critical reception of their work. In doing so, she elucidates the evolving meanings of the terms race, culture, and community in the interwar era. The book concludes with an essay by Jacqueline Francis on Black artists in the early 1940s, after the end of the FAP program. Presenting essential new archival information and important ...

Natural, uncut stones exploded into vogue and a 1961 exhibition at the Goldsmith’s Hall kickstarted the nation’s new obsession with gold.

They placed their own orders, exploring Grima’s drizzled gold and Flockinger’s fused metallic experimentations; John Donald’s textured gold cubes and the House of Munsteiner’s curious new gem cuts. This was an era of innovation – captured here through insights into the work of 25 major jewellers and sumptuous pictures of their work.This book introduces the most influential British designers, jewellers, goldsmiths and silversmiths of 1960-1980.

Ona je v tom divokom banskom mestečku nová. On patrí medzi jeho najvplyvnejších obyvateľov. Ani jeden nechce mať s tým druhým nič spoločné. Spočiatku. Rok 1875. Keď Kathryn Walshová prichádza do Calvady, banského mestečka v pohorí Sierra Nevada, posledné, s čím počíta, je, že by sa mohla zamilovať. Z rozhodnutia bohatého otčima, ktorý ju vykázal z Bostonu, si prichádza prevziať dedičstvo po strýkovi, ktorého nikdy nestretla: zaniknutú redakciu lokálnych novín so sídlom na hlavnej ulici plnej nevestincov a salónov a zdanlivo bezcennú baňu. Pohnutá žalostnými životnými podmienkami miestnych baníkov a ich rodín sa rozhodne obnoviť vydávanie strýkových novín, čím si znepriatelí najvplyvnejších mužov Calvady.
