Thinking About History - Sarah Maza

What distinguishes history as a discipline from other fields of study? That s the animating question of Sarah Maza s Thinking About History, a general introduction to the field of history that revels in its eclecticism and highlights the inherent tensions and controversies that shape it. Designed for the classroom, Thinking About History is organized around big questions: Whose history do we write, and how does that affect what stories get told and how they are told? How did we come to view the nation as the inevitable context for history, and what happens when we move outside those boundaries? What is the relation among popular, academic, and public history, and how should we evaluate sources? What is the difference between description and interpretation, and how do we balance them? Maza provides choice examples in place of definitive answers, and the result is a book that will spark classroom discussion and offer students a view of history as a vibrant, ever-changing field of inquiry that is thoroughly relevant to our daily lives.

Snider doesn’t present solutions to these challenges, but he does inspire and encourage, offering thoughtful reassurance and a unique, humorous perspective that’s characteristic of his work—an approach that resonates with millions of readers all over the world. Emotions can be tricky to navigate. We overthink. We second-guess. And we can’t get out of our own way. The reality is, it’s impossible for any of us to understand our complicated feelings fully. But fear not, because you’ve come to the right place.

Daniel Brush: Thinking about Monet

Sculptures-as-meditations: Brush rearticulates Monetâ ™s magnificent lightwork in palm-sized objectsEarly in life, American painter, sculptor and jeweler Daniel Brush (born 1947) discounted Monetâ ™s work wholesaleâ ”that is, until the pivotal day he saw an 8-by-10 transparency that a collector and friend was considering acquiring. This encounter sparked an obsession with the light Monet so masterfully captured through oil paint. Thinking about Monet contains 60 of the more than 100 steel sculptures Brush createdâ ”all of which are meditations on light. The artist hand-carved the same steel for all of his palm-sized pieces, but each one articulates distinct properties of color and light. Mesmerizing in the intricacy and daring of their fabrication, Brush s objects bear comparison with the work of historical masters.This small, jewel-like book is covered in printed silk cloth, and all the sculptures are reproduced at their original size. Nicolas Bos, president of Van Cleef Arpels, contributes a short foreword to the book.

Four Ways of Thinking - David Sumpter

What is the best way to think about the world? How often do we consider how our own thinking might impact the way we approach our daily decisions? Could it help or hinder our relationships, our careers, or even our health?Thinking about thinking is something we rarely do, yet it is something science questions all the time.David Sumpter has spent decades studying what we could all learn from the mindsets of scientists, and Four Ways of Thinking is the result. Here he reveals the four easily applied approaches to our problems: statistical, interactive, chaotic and complex. Combining engaging personal experience with practical advice and inspiring tales of ground-breaking scientific pioneers (with a tiny bit of number crunching along the way), Sumpter explains how these tried and tested methods can help us with every conundrum, from how to bicker less with our partners to pitching to a tough crowd - and in doing so change our lives.

Thinking in Bets - Annie Duke

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Poker champion turned business consultant Annie Duke teaches you how to get comfortable with uncertainty and make better decisions as a result in “the ultimate guide to thinking about risk” (Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit). “A big favorite among investors these days.”—The New York Times “Outstanding.”—Jason Zweig, The Wall Street JournalIn Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a hand off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck?Even the best decision doesn t yield the best outcome every time. There s always an element of luck that you can t control, and there is always information that is hidden from view. So the key to long-term success (and avoiding worrying yourself to death) is to think in bets: How sure am I? What are the possible ways things could turn out? What decision has the highest odds of success? Did I land in the unlucky 10% on the strategy that works 90% of the time? Or is my success attributable to dumb luck rather than great decision making? Annie Duke, a former World Series of Poker champion turned business consultant, draws on examples from business, sports, politics, and (of course) poker to share tools anyone can use to embrace uncertainty and make better decisions. For most people, it s difficult to say I m not sure in a world that values and, even, rewards the appearance of certainty. But professional poker players are comfortable with the fact that great decisions don t always lead to great outcomes and bad decisions don t always lead to bad outcomes.By shifting your thinking from a need for certainty to a goal of accurately assessing what you know and what you don t, you ll be less vulnerable to reactive emotions, knee-jerk biases, and destructive habits in your decision making. You ll become more confident, calm, compassionate and successful in the long run.

Ordinary Hazards - Anna Bruno

For fans of Celeste Ng comes a transfixing debut novel about how life’s small decisions can ultimately yield the most powerful consequences. Everyone always wants to know why relationships fail. It’s a spiteful curiosity thing, schadenfreude, but also a self-preservation thing. People want to understand how to avoid the fall.The answer is complicated. There isn’t one reason, one event. It has something to do with smoking cigarettes and drinking all night. It takes into account thousands of hours of labour on a small house, projects finished and unfinished. It is late-night conversations and inside jokes and making love and having a child. The answer is wrapped up, shrouded and ensconced in prioritization, ambition and work. Caring about these things is not the problem. Not caring about them is death. Emma has settled into her hometown bar for the evening. It was in this very room that she met Lucas a few years back, on a blind date. Nine months ago, in unimaginable circumstances, they divorced. As Emma listens to the locals’ banter, key facts about her life story begin to emerge and the past comes bearing down on her like a freight train. A powerhouse in the business world, why has she ended up here, now a regular in the last bar on the edge of a small town? What is she running away from? And what is she willing to give up in order to recapture the love she has lost? As Emma teeters on the edge of oblivion, becoming more booze-soaked by the hour, her night begins to spin out of control with shocking results. ‘Seen through keen eyes and full of deep feeling, Ordinary Hazards delves into the psyche of a woman grappling with grief, loss, and the burdens of inheritance. Anna Bruno vividly renders the messiness of a single human life in all its joy and heartbreak.’ —CLAIRE LOMBARDO, author of The Most Fun We Ever Had ‘Crisp, haunting, and intelligent. Beneath the surface of this booze-soaked, small town, dive bar novel lies a devastating story of loss, guilt, and grief. Bruno’s narrator proves a dark, funny, unflinching companion as you descend with her, step by step, towards the revelation of what has led her to the bar tonight.’ —STEPHEN MARKLEY, author of Ohio #39;Quiet but emotionally engaging, this atmospheric novel has a raft of enduring characters who prompt her memories. Bruno has a gift for observation which she uses to produce a haunting examination of love, loss and grief.’ —Fanny Blake, Daily Mail

Jane Austen, the Secret Radical - Helena Kelly

A sublime piece of literary detective work that shows us once and for all how to be precisely the sort of reader that Austen deserves. Caroline Criado-Perez, GuardianAlmost everything we think we know about Jane Austen is wrong. Her novels don t confine themselves to grand houses and they were not written just for readers enjoyment. She writes about serious subjects and her books are deeply subversive. We just don t read her properly - we haven t been reading her properly for 200 years.Jane Austen, The Secret Radical puts that right. In her first, brilliantly original book, Austen expert Helena Kelly introduces the reader to a passionate woman living in an age of revolution; to a writer who used what was regarded as the lightest of literary genres, the novel, to grapple with the weightiest of subjects - feminism, slavery, abuse, the treatment of the poor, the power of the Church, even evolution - at a time, and in a place, when to write about such things directly was seen as akin to treason.Uncovering a radical, spirited and politically engaged Austen, Jane Austen, The Secret Radical will encourage you to read Jane, all over again.

Fulvia - Jane Draycott

The charismatic Fulvia amassed a degree of military and political power that was unprecedented for a woman in Ancient Rome. Married three times to men who moved in powerful circles, including Marc Antony, Fulvia was not content to play the usual background role that was expected of a wife - instead she challenged the Roman patriarchy and sought to increase her influence in the face of determined opposition. It s rare to know so much about a particular Roman woman, but Fulvia was so despised by her male detractors that she was much written about. Acclaimed historian Jane Draycott has used original sources to piece together Fulvia s life and sort fact from fiction, while also exploring the role of women in Roman society. Set during the chaotic period when Rome was violently transitioning from a republic to the dictatorship of the Roman Empire, this is an original and fascinating take on an endlessly popular period of history.

A refreshing distillation of insights into the human condition, by one of the best-known and most popular philosophers in the UK.Thinking about life, what it means and what it holds in store does not have to be a despondent experience, but rather can be enlightening and uplifting. A life truly worth living is one that is informed and considered so a degree of philosophical insight into the inevitabilities of the human condition is inherently important and such an approach will help us to deal with real personal dilemmas.This book is an accessible, lively and thought-provoking series of linked commentaries, based on A. C. Grayling s The Last Word column in the GUARDIAN. Its aim is not to persuade readers to accept one particular philosophical point of view or theory, but to help us consider the wonderful range of insights which can be drawn from an immeasurably rich history of philosophical thought.Concepts covered include courage, love, betrayal, ambition, cruelty, wisdom, passion, beauty and death. This will be a wonderfully stimulating read and act as an invaluable guide as to what is truly important in living life, whether facing success, failure, justice, wrong, love, loss or any of the other profound experience life throws out.

Things I Don

Perhaps when Orwell described sheer egoism as a necessary quality for a writer, he was not thinking about the sheer egoism of a female writer. Even the most arrogant female writer has to work over time to build an ego that is robust enough to get her through January, never mind all the way to December. Deborah Levy

V Sokole a v Tasově - Jakub Deml

Šestý svazek Spisů Jakuba Demla představuje jeden z výkyvů jeho duchovního i politického světa, totiž plody jeho angažmá v Sokole z let 1923-1925. Nečekané ztotožnění se sokolskou organizací i se sokolským myšlenkovým světem dává dobově smysl - vzhledem k Demlovu znechucení světem katolickým i k slovansky laděnému nacionalismu, jenž ho se Sokolem spojuje. Dočasné zakotvení v Sokole spadá vjedno s trvalým zakotvením v rodném Tasově; a souvislost není jen časová. Následující svazek přinese texty z roku 1926, kdy nadšení pro Sokol slábne; proto ponese titul V Tasově a v Sokole . Sokolská čítanka (1923) shrnuje články pro sokolské časopisy, vzniklé často na základě promluv pro sokolské akce. Představuje tak světský, ale přitom nikdy tak docela neduchovní protějšek Demlových knih katolicky kazatelských. Sestrám (1924) shrnuje články podobného rázu, adresované však speciálně ženám - Sokolkám, čtenářkám časopisu Sokolice a potenciálním čtenářkám Demlových knih. Česno (1924) shrnuje prózy ze stejné doby - formálně nesokolské , duchem však stejnorodé. Se sokolskými články je spojuje zejména téma uzemnění , zakotvení v konkrétním kraji a komunitě, i související téma ekologické. Šlépěje IX (1925) dokumentují Demlovy konkrétní lidské vztahy napříč sokolskou obcí, ale také počínající spory. Znejišťuje-li se Sokol - tím jistějším se jeví Tasov. Oddíl Epilegomena obsahuje zejména drobné sokolské články, nezahrnuté do příslušných knih. Svazek doprovází doslov, ediční poznámka, překlady všech cizojazyčných pasáží, vysvětlivky reálií, jmenný rejstřík a reprodukce ilustrací a obálek původních vydání.

V Tasově a v Sokole: Tepna, Hlas mluví k Slovu, Mohyla, Epilegomena (978-80-200-3411-3)

Kniha - autor Jakub Deml, 512 stran, česky, pevná s přebalem lesklá Sedmý svazek Demlových spisů obsahuje tři knihy, vydané v témže roce 1926: Tepna, Hlas mluví k slovu a Mohyla. Deml v nich podává lyrický dokument mikrohistorie – jednak městečka Tasov, jednak své vlastní rodiny a jejích kořenů, za nimiž se vydává do tehdy německojazyčné oblasti Hřebečsko na severozápadní Moravě. Deml se tak vřazuje do širokého dobového proudu literárních „návratů na venkov“ i do ještě širšího, celoevropského proudu literárního regionalismu. Současně však je v jeho textech přítomná i tematika sokolská, byť stále konfliktněji. Sokolská nota slábne – regionalistická sílí. Proto se šestý svazek nazýval V Sokole a v Tasově, zatímco sedmý V Tasově a v Sokole.
