The Isle of Youth - Laura van den Berg
"[Laura van den Berg is] a master of the short story form. Hers are deliciously unnerving, moving, and monstrous tales.†—Karen Russell, author of Orange World and other stories"A smart, fun, noir-y treasure map . . . Van den Berg somehow packs a duffel bag of plot into carry-on-size stories. She also has the right kind of range: from brutal to moving to funny, South America to Paris to Antarctica, really great to freaking outstanding.†—Kathryn Schulz, New YorkThe surreal, compulsively readable collection that established Laura van den Berg as a singular stylist, reissued for its tenth anniversary. The Isle of Youth, Laura van den Berg’s breakout second story collection, explores the lives of women who are mired in secrecy and deception.

White and Faded - Janet Parrella-Van Den Berg
Find new value, purpose, and joy as you restore and uncover beauty in your home and (most importantly) in your life.The only thing more beautiful than home transformation is personal transformation. In White & Faded Janet Parrella-Van Den Berg takes you on a hope-filled journey to discover the hidden beauty in your own home and heart.We''ve all experienced it at some time, like an old piece of furniture we have felt unloved, discarded, neglected, or valueless. We''ve struggled with our own self-worth in moments of darkness when we feel like nobody cares about us and nobody wants us. But in these moments of despair sometimes the beginning of a journey toward hope can come from unlikely sources…like uncovering the charm and elegance of an antique chair or dresser that has had its true worth obscured by years of disuse and realizing that like that antique we still have beauty and life within ourselves. In White & Faded, Janet Parrella-Van Den Berg takes you on a stunning photographic tour through her restored English homes as she invites you into her personal journey of restoring her own sense of value and purpose—and reveals how you can do the same.

The Education We Need for a Future We Can't Predict - Jordan Corson, Thomas C. Hatch, Sarah Gerth van den Berg
Improve Schools and Transform Education In order for educational systems to change, we must reevaluate deep-seated beliefs about learning, teaching, schooling, and race that perpetuate inequitable opportunities and outcomes. Hatch, Corson, and Gerth van den Berg challenge the narrative when it comes to the "grammar of schooling"--or the conventional structures, practices, and beliefs that define educational experiences for so many children—to cast a new vision of what school could be. The book addresses current systemic problems and solutions as it: Highlights global examples of successful school change Describes strategies that improve educational opportunities and performance Explores promising approaches in developing new learning opportunities Outlines conditions for supporting wide-scale educational improvement This provocative book approaches education reform by highlighting what works, while also demonstrating what can be accomplished if we redefine conventional schools. We can make the schools we have more efficient, more effective, and more equitable, all while creating powerful opportunities to support all aspects of students’ development. "You won’t find a better book on system change in education than this one. We learn why schools don’t change; how they can improve; what it takes to change a system; and, in the final analysis, the possibilities of system change. Above ... Unknown localization key: "more"

“Electrifying…sparkles with MangerÂ’s song and poetry, and is brilliantly layered with literary and folkloric references.” — Tablet“There is something joyous about MangerÂ’s playful language.” — The Jewish ChronicleThe raucously witty Yiddish classic about a Jewish Paradise afflicted by very human temptations and pains — a delightful new translation perfect for fans of Michael ChabonWitty, playful and slyly profound, this story of a young angel expelled from Paradise is the only novel by one of the great Yiddish writers, which was written just before the outbreak of World War II.As a result of a crafty trick, the expelled angel retains the memory of his previous life when heÂ’s born as a Yiddish-fluent baby mortal on Earth. The humans around him plead for details of that other realm, but the Paradise of his mischievous stories is far from their expectations: a world of drunken angels, lewd patriarchs and the very same divisions and temptations that shape the human world.Published here in a lively new translation by Robert Adler Peckerar, The Book of Paradise is a comic masterpiece from poet-satirist Itzik Manger that irreverently blurs the boundaries between ancient and modern and sacred and profane, where the shtetl is heaven, and heaven is ...

Matějova akrobacie - Taeymans Rika, Van Bouchout Laura
ZÁBAVNÝ PRŮVODCE AKROBATICKÝMI CVIČENÍMI PRO CELOU RODINU Matějova akrobacie je sbírka 24 akrobatických cvičení pro celou rodinu. Všechna cvičení od jednoduchých průpravných her až po skutečné akrobatické prvky přinášejí čistou radost dětem od 3 let i jejich rodičům a pomáhají přitom rozvíjet jejich motorické dovednosti. Matěj chce na Vánoce doma udělat akrobatické představení. Každý týden proto s mámou a tátou cvičí salta, pyramidy a další triky. Akrobacie popsaná v této publikace vychází z cirkusových technik a z procvičovacích her pohybově rozvojové metodiky Veronicy Sherborne. Rika Taeymans vyvinula tuto směs cirkusu a pohybové filozofie v 90. letech a pojmenovala ji "Cirkomotorika". Dovednosti potřebné k tomu, aby bylo možné provádět akrobatické triky bezpečně a beze strachu, učí hravou formou pomocí procvičovacích her. Kromě zlepšení fyzických schopností a uvědomění si vlastního těla poskytují tato cvičení také emocionální podněty, a to díky vztahovým hrám. Rika Taeymans před 20 lety založila první vlámskou cirkusovou školu. Laura Van Bouchout byla jedno z jejích prvních žákyň. Jejich kniha je výsledkem dlouholeté praxe výuky cirkomotoriky, což je příjemná směs akrobacie a pohybových cvičení pro rodiče a děti. Emma Thyssen dodala srozumitelný obrazový doprovod, který krok za krokem ilustruje každou hru nebo pohyb.

Beatrice & Laura - Vanda Vybíralová
Beatrice a Laura jsou vnímány jako inspirátorky milostné poezie dvou velkých básníků Danta Alighieriho a Franceska Petrarky. Z toho také nepřímo vyplývá, jak velkou úlohu obě sehrály v historii středověké literatury. Jsou zároveň koncem a začátkem. Především v Beatrici vrcholí jedna koncepce milostné poezie a v Dantovi samotném snad poezie vůbec. A právě tato koncepce je výsledkem dlouhé tradice počínající ve verších okcitánských trubadúrů a vrcholící ve sladkém novém stylu básníků střední Itálie. Nikdo dnes nepochybuje o důležitosti role, kterou sehrály Beatrice a Laura v literárním životě svých autorů. Nikomu z kritiků se však nepodařilo jednoznačně a uspokojivě vyřešit otázku jejich skutečné existence v reálném životě jejich opěvovatelů. Mimoliterární historie těchto postav však zdaleka není tak podstatná, jak by se nám na první pohled zdálo, a z toho také vychází tato práce, jejímž cílem je charakterizovat dvě ženské literární postavy a jejich úlohu v poezii a životě jejich autorů.

"Grudova is Angela Carter''s natural inheritor. Her style is effortlessly spare and wonderfully seductive. Read her! Love her! She is sincerely strange." —Nicola Barker, author, Darkmans Following Grudova''s critically acclaimed collection The Doll''s Alphabet, this surreal, discomforting debut novel charts the fates of a ragtag group of cinema workers who are spat out by corporate takeover. When Holly applies for a job at the Paradise - one of the city''s oldest cinemas, squashed into the ground floor of a block of flats - she thinks it will be like any other shift work. She cleans toilets, sweeps popcorn, avoids the belligerent old owner, Iris, and is ignored by her aloof but tight-knit colleagues who seem as much a part of the building as its fraying carpets and endless dirt. Dreadful, lonely weeks pass while she longs for their approval, a silent voyeur. So when she finally gains the trust of this cryptic band of oddballs, Holly transforms from silent drudge to rebellious insider and gradually she too becomes part of the Paradise - unearthing its secrets, learning its history and haunting its corridors after hours with the other ushers.

Bold Ventures - Charlotte Van den Broeck
''Bold Ventures resembles a pop version of Iain Sinclair''s psychogeography or Out of Sheer Rage, Geoff Dyer''s anti-biography of DH Lawrence'' Olivia Laing, GUARDIAN''A marvel: a monument to human beings continuing to reach for the skies, even after their plans dissolve in dust'' NEW YORK TIMESIn thirteen chapters, Belgian poet Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal for their architects - architects who either killed themselves or are rumoured to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire built in seventeenth-century France to a theatre that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC., and an eerily sinking swimming pool in her hometown of Turnhout.Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Charles Darwin to art history, stories from her own life and popular culture, patterns gradually come into focus, as Van den Broeck asks: what is that strange life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator?Threaded through each story, and in prose of great essayistic subtlety, Van den Broeck meditates on the question of suicide - what Albert Camus called the ''one truly serious philosophical problem'' - in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Way of Coyote - Gavin Van Horn
Blending travelogue and philosophical reflection, Van Horn embarks on a quest for a new urban land ethic that reveals how urban animals can expand how we care for and understand place. A hiking trail through majestic mountains. A raw, unpeopled wilderness stretching as far as the eye can see. These are the settings we associate with our most famous books about nature. But Gavin Van Horn isn’t most nature writers. He lives and works not in some perfectly remote cabin in the woods but in a city—a big city. And that city has offered him something even more valuable than solitude: a window onto the surprising attractiveness of cities to animals. What was once in his mind essentially a nature-free blank slate turns out to actually be a bustling place where millions of wild things roam. He came to realize that our own paths are crisscrossed by the tracks and flyways of endangered black-crowned night herons, Cooper’s hawks, brown bats, coyotes, opossums, white-tailed deer, and many others who thread their lives ably through our own.            With The Way of Coyote, Gavin Van Horn reveals the stupendous diversity of species ...

This Side of Paradise / The Beautiful and Damned - F. Scott Fitzgerald
With an Introduction and Notes by Lionel Kelly, University of Reading.This Side of Paradise tells the story of Amory Blaine, the only child of wealthy parents, whose journey from adolescence to adulthood follows him from prep school through to Princeton University, where his literary talents flourish, in contrast to his academic failure. A sequence of love affairs with beautiful young women are fatally damaged by the collapse of his family’s fortune, and the novel ends with him poised to face the challenge of making his own way in the world. Composed in an unconventional narrative mode, the novel is a rich fusion of satiric and romance idioms, and found a captivated audience on its publication in 1920. It made Fitzgerald rich and famous overnight.The Beautiful and Damned is a bleaker version of the corrosive power of wealth and its privileges, one of Fitzgerald’s abiding subjects. Anthony Patch, is heir to a huge fortune, whose marriage to the beautiful and indolent Gloria is increasingly shadowed by Anthony’s fall into alcoholism. Though he wins a lawsuit to gain his inheritance of millions of dollars, it is a pyrrhic victory, for he is now a physically and morally broken man.

Delusions of Paradise - Maiwand Banayee
'The strongest opening sentence of any memoir of the 21st century, and the following 300 pages do not disappoint'Frances Wilson, Daily TelegraphWhen Maiwand Banayee was 16, he wanted to become a suicide bomber for the Taliban. In this inspiring tale of survival and self-discovery, the reader will follow Maiwand's journey down a dark path and his ultimate redemption. Growing up in Kabul amid the Afghan wars, he witnessed atrocities that no child should ever see - rotting corpses, starving families, a neighbourhood torn apart. He escaped to a refugee camp in Pakistan, where religious militants began the gradual grooming of Maiwand and other Afghan boys. These confused and traumatised children were indoctrinated, radicalised and prepared to die in the name of a religious war. But Maiwand escaped this life. Fleeing Afghanistan, he had a life-altering crisis of faith, confidence and meaning, finding new purpose and rebuilding himself. Maiwand taught himself how to read and write in English, and here tells his astonishing story in crystalline prose. Delusions of Paradise offers a powerful warning about the dangers of radical religion, and is a stunning celebration of self-determination and redemption from an important new voice.

The Politics of Experience and The Bird of Paradise - R. D. Laing
In ‘The Politics of Experience’ and the visionary ‘Bird of Paradise’, R.D. Laing shows how the straitjacket of conformity imposed on us all leads to intense feelings of alienation and a tragic waste of human potential. He throws into question the notion of normality, examines schizophrenia and psychotherapy, transcendence and ‘us and them’ thinking, and illustrates his ideas with a remarkable case history of a ten-day psychosis. ‘We are bemused and crazed creatures,’ Laing suggests. This outline of ‘a thoroughly self-conscious and self-critical human account of man’ represents a major attempt to understand our deepest dilemmas and sketch in solutions.‘Everyone in contemporary psychiatry owes something to R.D. Laing’ Anthony Clare, the Guardian.
