Lost World - Dorothy Hartley

During 1933–1936, Dorothy Hartley was commissioned by the Daily Sketch newspaper to write articles describing the English countryside, old English crafts and customs, country foods and country ways (with the odd excursion to Wales, Scotland and Ireland). She did her research in the British Museum (she had by then written several books of social history) and on the ground, travelling around the country on her sturdy bicycle, staying with her subjects, or under a hedgebank if no other choice. These articles were to form her knowledge-bank which she used in several books that came out during the 1930s and beyond (particularly Here’s England, 1935), but they have never been seen as they were first written. We offer a selection, with a foreword by Lucy Worsley (who is presenting the BBC TV documentary on Hartley to be transmitted in November) and introduced by the writer Adrian Bailey (who befriended Dorothy Hartley in her later life). The 65 articles are illustrated with some of Hartley’s own snapshots which she kept as notes for future reference. The subjects range widely over matters as various as thatching, clog-making, eels, the country chemist, marram grass, sand shoes, crabs, sheep shearing, spring-cleaning, country kitchens, ploughing, weather ...

I díky této volbě má, jako vždy, pocit dokonalé kontroly nad vlastním životem. Ale i přes tuto pečlivě naplánovanou „transakci" však narazí na nepředvídatelnost osudu. Maggie se totiž nečekaně zamiluje, a to do Johna (Ethan Hawke), profesora antropologie, jemuž se pro změnu zrovna rozpadá manželství s Georgettou (Julianne Moore), velmi úspěšnou a egocentrickou profesorkou na prestižní Columbia University, a také více než trochu drsnou manželkou. A tak Maggie rozjede další ze svých dokonalých plánů. Tentokráte na osvobození Johna z manželského chomoutu. O několik let později, když je Maggie za Johna už provdaná, si uvědomí, že její láska k němu už poněkud vyprchala. A tak, jak je zvyklá, přijde s dalším plánem, a to smířit Johna s jeho bývalou manželkou a vrátit jej zpátky ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Maggie Davis - M.H. Davis

For anyone interested in a gifted, neglected 20th century artist (thoroughly trained at the Kent Thanet School of Art and subsequently the renowned London Central School of Arts & Crafts), this retrospective art selection should provide a fascinating link to the post-WWII period of English art. This selection includes Maggie’s early post-war years. These include pen/ink advertising and magazine/book illustrations. Early Watercolours include an unnamed London bridge and paintings done in France, 1947. In the 1960’s Maggie began painting in oils. This coincided with her semi-abstract works inspired by storm-blasted trees. Concurrently, her ‘romantic dream fantasy’ period also began, resulting in many outstandingly creative works. These latter concerned the darkness of loss and separation. Maggie’s imaginative work also included illustrations for projected children’s books. Maggie’s lino-cut work is represented here in its impressive exactness. Her pastel work is notable for its engaging incisiveness. As well as landscape oils, Maggie’s work offers vividly recognisable children’s and adult’s portraits. Examples of her house commission paintings demonstrate Maggie’s assured handling of architectural structure. Her last oil works often dealt with inner desolation. For instance, Maggie’s striking oil picture: The Widows. Influences are found in the work of Graham Sutherland, Paul Nash, Rene Magritte ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Strach z nemocí - Hans Morschitzky, Thomas Hartl

Žijeme v době wellness-, fitness- a biotrendů, kdy je zdraví snad nejdůležitější hodnotou. Navzdory všem pokrokům v medicíně se lidé obávají rakoviny, infarktu, AIDS či škodlivých vlivů znečištěného prostředí. U některých se z toho může vyvinout takzvaná hypochondrická porucha – přesvědčení, že mají somatickou nemoc, která ohrožuje jejich život. Okolí se jim často směje, protože stále dokola vyžadují lékařskou péči, ale přitom je skutečně nemocná jejich duše. Jiní zase trpí takzvanou nozofobií – fobií z nemocí. Tu v extrémním případě potlačí natolik, že se vyhýbají smysluplnému vyšetření.Psychoterapeut Morschitzky a novinář Hartl ve své knize, jež je plná názorných kazuistik, popisují nejčastější příčiny strachu z nemocí i to, k jakým důsledkům vede. Kniha lidem s těmito poruchami, jejich blízkým i odborníkům, kteří je ošetřují, radí, co je ještě normální, a co již projev choroby a také jak se se strachem z nemocí úspěšně vypořádat, a to zejména za pomoci kognitivně-behaviorální terapie. Hans Morschitzky je psycholog a psychoterapeut. Pracuje na oddělení psychosomatiky Zemské nervové kliniky v Linci a má také vlastní praxi. V češtině vyšly jeho knihy Deset tváří úzkosti (Portál, 2014) a Když duše mluví řečí těla (Portál, 2015), na nichž spolupracoval se Sigrid Sator. Thomas Hartl je vědecký novinář. S ...

Wisdom of the Body Moving - Linda Hartley

This comprehensive guide introduces Body-Mind Centering, the internationally recognized field pioneered by dancer and occupational therapist Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. Devoting thirty-five years to a systematic investigation of the relations between bodily experience and the anatomical maps of science, Bainbridge Cohen independently discovered many of the principles that underlie Feldenkrais work, cranial osteopathy, Rolfing, dance therapy, and Zero Balancing. Experienced BMC practitioner Linda Hartley demonstrates the basic philosophy and key elements of Body-Mind Centering. Drawing on animal and infant movements, she takes readers through the wondrous realms of Bainbridge Cohen’s pantheon—from the ''minds'' of the skeletal and muscular systems to the quite different inner lives of digestive, lymphatic, urinary, respiratory, vocal, circulatory, endocrine, and reproductive organs. Her choreography ultimately brings us into the states of consciousness of skins, cells, blood, fat, cerebrospinal fluid, nervous system, and brain. Hartley’s explorations of the images, feelings, sensations, and intuitions of the diverse organs and cells lead to exercises that gently guide students in ways of discovering and integrating their bodies’ multidimensional aspects.

The Yorkshire Coiners - Steve Hartley

In late 18th century Yorkshire a powerful gang of counterfeiters held the local community in its spell. In a remote valley near Halifax called Cragg Vale, gold coins of the realm were clipped and filed, then returned to circulation, while the extra metal collected was melted down to produce new counterfeit currency. The crime was punishable by death, and violence and vengeance, even murder, was meted out against those who got in their way. The Cragg Vale Coiners were highly organised, enlisting the help of many in the local community, and local authorities were powerless to stop them. The threat posed by the gang was debated in Parliament and the Government had to do something to prevent the Exchequer being defrauded of millions of pounds and the nationÂ’s currency being debased, so it was forced to despatch high-ranking officials of the Royal Mint in an attempt to bring the gang to justice and the ringleaders to the gibbet. The ensuing hunt for the gang members was bitter and the story of the outcome has become the stuff of legends.Steve Hartley has been researching the true story of the Cragg Vale Coiners for many years.

Flannery O'Connor and Blaise Pascal - Ann Hartle

Flannery O'Connor is a guide for the Catholic who seeks to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to live the life of faith in the modern world. O'Connor describes herself as a Catholic burdened by the modern consciousness which the psychologist Carl Gustav Jung views as "unhistorical, solitary, and guilty." Ann Hartle understands O'Connor's fiction as her confrontation with this specifically modern form of consciousness. The seventeenth-century philosopher Blaise Pascal helps us to experience the meaning of O'Connor's fiction because Pascal confronted that same consciousness in its origins in Montaigne's philosophy. O'Connor recognizes in Pascal a truly Catholic modern philosopher who speaks to the experience of the searching mind of modern man.Flannery O'Connor and Blaise Pascal approaches O'Connor's fiction from a philosophical perspective rather than the perspective of a literary critic. The goal of this volume is to deepen the experience of the meaning of her stories insofar as they are addressed to a specifically modern audience burdened with the form of consciousness that is highly skeptical of the historical reality of the Christian mystery.Hartle's argument is that modern consciousness rests on the "spiritualization" of the Incarnation. Both Montaigne and Jung abstract a purely human meaning from the ... Unknown localization key: "more"
