W.B. Yeats's Robartes-Aherne Writings - Wayne K. Chapman
The figures of Michael Robartes and Owen Aherne appear throughout the writing of the great Irish poet W.B. Yeats, featuring in his poems, short fictions, dialogues and as authorities in notes to his work. Bringing together into one volume published and unpublished writings featuring these two enigmatic figures, W.B. Yeats’s Robartes-Aherne Writings traces their history and the development of Yeats’s mystical thought that culminated (twice) in the publication of his visionary work A Vision (1925, 1937). Including reproductions of manuscript and notebook pages as well as transcriptions and extracts from a wide range of Yeats’s mystical writings and substantial commentary and annotation throughout, this book is an essential resource for scholars of Yeats’s thought, his stylistic evolution and the esoteric influences on modernist writing in the early 20th century.

Selected Poems - William Yeats
W.B. Yeats's Selected Poems is edited with an introduction and notes by Timothy Webb in Penguin Modern Classics.Few have lived their ideas so passionately and nobly as W.B. Yeats in his love affairs, politics and poetry. From his youth in the 1880s, a fertile dreamer rediscovering and remaking the Irish tradition, he grew into a great and innovative poet of the twentieth century. This selection of Yeats's work includes the final book from the unjustly neglected narrative poem The Wanderings of Oisin and a number of lyrics from Yeats's work as poetic dramatist. This edition breaks new ground by allowing the reader to engage with a dozen poems in alternative versions; in many other cases it provides significant variants, so that Yeats's struggle to revise his poetry can be experienced with unusual immediacy. It also includes explanatory and textual notes for each poem.W B Yeats (1865-1939) was one of the great and innovative poets of the twentieth century. Much of his most vigorous verse on love, sex, Irish and international politics, the complexities of the occult and the 'sedentary toil' of poetry was produced in the years between his fiftieth birthday in 1915 and his death in 1939.If you enjoyed ...

When You Are Old - William Yeats
From the publication of his first poems at the age of twenty, to his Nobel Prize in 1923, W. B. Yeats grew from an aspiring poet spellbound by the mystical life, to an Irish senator crafting modernist poetry around a complex system of symbolism. When You are Old: Early Poems and Fairy Tales returns to the younger Yeats, encountering him through Irish mythology and much-beloved poems like "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" and "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" that made him popular during his own lifetime. The poems, plays, and prose collected here present Yeats as the 1890s aesthete who dressed as a dandy, collected Irish folklore, dabbled in magic, and wrote beautiful poems for his beloved, steeped in the late-Victorian aesthetics of the symbolist and decadence movements, as well as early modernism. Approaching his early verse and tales with innocent candor as if reading Yeats for the first time, this volume proffers lush images of western Ireland full of faeries and otherworldly beings, framed within a profound fascination with aestheticism and the Arts and Crafts Movement, all giving expression to Yeats''s early nationalist sympathies.

The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats - W.B. Yeats
With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex. W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner, dramatist and, above all, poet. He began writing with the intention of putting his 'very self' into his poems. T. S. Eliot, one of many who proclaimed the Irishman's greatness, described him as 'one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them'. For anyone interested in the literature of the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century, Yeats's work is essential. This volume gathers the full range of his published poetry, from the hauntingly beautiful early lyrics (by which he is still fondly remembered) to the magnificent later poems which put beyond question his status as major poet of modern times. Paradoxical, proud and passionate, Yeats speaks today as eloquently as ever.

W. B. Yeats - W.B. Yeats
''Tread softly because you tread on my dreams'' is one of the most well-known and repeated lines of poetry ever written. Less haunting, but still so relevant: ''Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.''W B Yeats was one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature. Winner of a Nobel prize, he was also a political figure, and, as is evident from his earlier work, fascinated by Irish folklore and the occult. He was also deeply affected by the First World War and the Anglo-Irish and Irish civil wars. It is a testament to the greatness of Yeats'' poetry that he attempts to bear witness to these emotional and historical forces.This perfectly pitched collection includes some of the greatest poetry of the 20th century.

Alone at Dawn - Lori Chapman-Longfritzová, Dan Schilling
In the predawn hours of March 4, 2002, just below the 10,469-foot peak of a mountain in eastern Afghanistan, a fierce battle raged. Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of Navy SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate. Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness alone, with the enemy closing in on three sides.John Chapman''s subsequent display of incredible valor -- first saving the lives of his SEAL teammates and then, knowing he was mortally wounded, single-handedly engaging two dozen hardened fighters to save the lives of an incoming rescue squad -- posthumously earned him the Medal of Honor.

John Wayne: The Life and Legend - Scott Eyman
John Wayne died more than thirty years ago, but he remains one of today''s five favorite movie stars. The celebrated Hollywood icon comes fully to life in this complex portrait by noted film historian and master biographer Scott Eyman. Exploring Wayne''s early life with a difficult mother and a feckless father, "Eyman gets at the details that the bean-counters and myth-spinners miss…Wayne''s intimates have told things here that they''ve never told anyone else" (Los Angeles Times). Eyman makes startling connections to Wayne''s later days as an anti-Communist conservative, his stormy marriages to Latina women, and his notorious-and surprisingly long-lived-passionate affair with Marlene Dietrich. He also draws on the actor''s own business records and, of course, his storied film career. "We all think we know John Wayne, in part because he seemed to be playing himself in movie after movie. Yet as Eyman carefully lays out, ''John Wayne'' was an invention, a persona created layer by layer by an ambitious young actor" (The Washington Post). This is the most nuanced and sympathetic portrait available of the man who became a symbol of his country at mid-century, a cultural icon and quintessential American male against whom other screen heroes are still compared.

Vize - William Butler Yeats
Kniha symbolických próz irského spisovatele a nositele Nobelovy ceny za literaturu z roku 1923 Williama Butlera Yeatse (1865-1939) nachází jednotu historických epoch, hlavních období lidského života a charakterových typů v cyklu měsíčních fází. Kniha měla být po vzoru Poundových Cantos sumou autorova poznání a představuje zdroj nejpůsobivějších Yeatsových symbolů z jeho pozdního tvůrčího období. Yeats věnoval Vizi téměř patnáct let svého života a první verzi z roku 1924 upravoval a doplňoval až do roku 1931. Jeho básnická tvorba tím však ani v nejmenším neutrpěla a pozdní básnické sbírky Věž (The Tower) a Točité schodiště (The Winding Stair) z let 1928 a 1933 jsou právem pokládány za její vrchol. Vize (poprvé vyšla v roce 1937) však není pouhým výkladem autorova esoterického systému. Obsahuje i autobiografické pasáže, v nichž autor vysvětluje genezi této knihy, a nemalý podíl na jeho vzniku měla Yeatsova žena Bertha Georgie - médium a zprostředkovatelka automatického psaní, které tvoří základní obrazy a metafory tohoto výjimečného díla.

The Tower includes some of his greatest and most innovative poems including ''Sailing to Byzantium'', a lyrical meditation on man''s disillusionment with the physical world; ''Leda and the Swan'', a violent and graphic take on the Greek myth of Leda and Zeus and ''Among School Children'', a poetic contemplation of life, love and the creative process.

Meaningful Stuff - Jonathan Chapman
An argument for a design philosophy of better, not more.Never have we wanted, owned, and wasted so much stuff. Our consumptive path through modern life leaves a wake of social and ecological destruction--sneakers worn only once, bicycles barely even ridden, and forgotten smartphones languishing in drawers. By what perverse alchemy do our newest, coolest things so readily transform into meaningless junk? In Meaningful Stuff, Jonathan Chapman investigates why we throw away things that still work, and shows how we can design products, services, and systems that last. Obsolescence is an economically driven design decision--a plan to hasten a product''s functional or psychological undesirability. Many electronic devices, for example, are intentionally impossible to dismantle for repair or recycling, their brief use-career proceeding inexorably to a landfill. A sustainable design specialist who serves as a consultant to global businesses and governmental organizations, Chapman calls for the decoupling of economic activity from mindless material consumption and shows how to do it.Chapman shares his vision for an "experience heavy, material light" design sensibility.

From Russia With Love - Llewella Chapman
Often hailed as the ''best'' James Bond film, From Russia With Love (1963) is celebrated for its direction by Terence Young, memorable performances from Sean Connery in his second outing as 007, Pedro Armendáriz as Kerim, Lotte Lenya as the lesbian villain Colonel Rosa Klebb, and Robert Shaw as Red Grant, the sexually ambiguous SPECTRE assassin. And regardless of its place within the longest-running continuous film series in cinema history, it is also an outstanding example of the British spy thriller in its own right.Llewella Chapman''s study of the iconic film pinpoints its place within the James Bond film franchise, and its significant cultural value to critics and fans as well as this film’s important place within British cinema history more widely. Drawing on a broad range of archival sources, Chapman traces the film''s development and production history, including its adaptation from Ian Fleming''s source novel, as well as its reception and lasting impact. Chapman also considers the film''s portrayal of gender politics, with its queer villains counterpoised with the heterosexual couple Bond and his Russian counterpart Tatiana Romanova, the context of Cold War politics, and the influence of Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959).

To keby sme vedeli... pred svadbou! - Gary Chapman
Väčšina ľudí venuje neporovnateľne viac času príprave na svoje budúce povolanie, než príprave na manželstvo,“ hovorí Dr. Gary Chapman. Drvivá väčšina slobodných dospelých túži po manželskom vzťahu na celý život a nechcú, aby oni sami a prípadne ich deti museli prežiť bolestnú skúsenosť rozvodu. Tragédiou je, že mnoho z nich nemá ani najmenšiu predstavu, ako budovať takéto manželstvo. Aj to je dôvodom vysokej rozvodovosti. Známy autor a manželský poradca Gary Chapman dúfa, že sa mu svojou najnovšou knihou podarí aspoň trochu tento trend zmierniť. Má 35-ročnú skúsenosť s manželským poradenstvom a je presvedčený, že dôvodom rozvodov je aj nedostatočná príprava na manželstvo a neschopnosť a neochota naučiť sa vo vzťahu spolupracovať.

Hnev - Gary Chapman
Hnev zažívajú ľudia bez ohľadu na vek či spoločenské postavenie. Brian, vysokoškolák, sa hnevá na učiteľku, ktorá mu zapísala nedostatočnú. Liz, Brianova učiteľka, sa hnevá na svojho bývalého partnera, pretože neposiela načas výživné. Alex sa hnevá len tak všeobecne, pretože si nedokáže nájsť prácu a cíti sa spoločnosťou opomenutý. Viete, že hnev vám ničí život, ale neviete, čo s tým robiť. Život prináša veľa frustrácií. Aj keď možno nemávate záchvaty zúrivosti, je ľahké kvôli sklamaniu, zraneniu, odmietnutiu či zahanbeniu zatrpknúť a živiť v sebe hnev. Hnev je súčasťou života, ale nemusí váš život ovládať. Dá sa využiť aj pozitívne a dokonca vám môže pomôcť zmeniť životnú situáciu. Gary Chapman ponúka užitočné a často prekvapivé pohľady na to, prečo sa hneváme a čo s tým môžeme urobiť. V knihe nájdete skutočné príbehy a na nich autor vysvetľuje, ako: 1. lepšie pochopiť samého seba,2. prekonať hanbu, popieranie a zatrpknutosť,3. odlíšiť dobrý hnev od zlého,4. konštruktívne zvládať hnev a konflikt,5. urobiť pozitívne zmeny vo vašom živote,6. pomôcť iným zvládať hneva oveľa viac. Gary Chapman je autor, spíker a poradca. Je autorom série kníh Päť jazykov lásky, ktoré sa stali bestsellermi, a riaditeľom organizácie Marriage and Family Life Consultants, Inc.

Wayne Thiebaud
"A beautifully produced, authoritative volume."—Kirkus Reviews Explores Wayne Thiebaud's career as a self-described "thief" who appropriated and reinterpreted old and new European and American artworks. Although artist Wayne Thiebaud (1920–2021) earned acclaim for his poetic renderings of the prosaic particulars of American life, he openly admitted that "it's hard for me to think of artists who weren't influential on me, because I'm such a blatant thief." Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art features the artist's virtuosic appropriations and reinterpretations of old and new European and American artworks, spanning from Andrea Mantegna to Édouard Manet, Henri Matisse to Richard Diebenkorn, offering crucial insights into his creative process. Thiebaud's exploration of art, artists, and art history—along with the practices of copying, appropriation, and reinterpretation—allowed him not only to see through the eyes of other artists but also to commune with them through their work, expanding his own vision. This career-long engagement with the concept of appropriation illustrates his perception of art history as an encyclopedic "bureau of standards"—a rich repository and resource that offers working artists community with their predecessors and communion with their artworks. Published in association with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Exhibition dates: Legion of Honor: March ...

The Pocket Guide to Neurodiversity - Daniel Aherne
At least one in seven people are thought to be neurodivergent. So what exactly is neurodiversity? What does ''executive functioning'' mean? What are ''spiky profiles''?In this simple guide, expert speaker and trainer Daniel Aherne provides a clear introduction to neurodiversity and the four most common neurodivergent identities of autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. Using an analogy of a cactus needing a desert to grow in, he emphasises the importance of getting the environment right for neurodivergent people, rather than expecting them to adapt to the neurotypical world. Daniel, who himself has ADHD, also explains how neurodivergent people often have great strengths alongside areas of difficulty, and writes about the interplay between diagnoses, as well as unpacking tricky concepts such as working memory, sensory processing, communication differences and more.Busting common misconceptions and setting out simple tips and guidance for supporting the neurodivergent people around you, whether among your family, friends or at your school, college or workplace - or if you yourself are ND and want to improve the understanding of others - this essential guide will help us all celebrate neurodiversity and foster more inclusive communities.

Anglicanism - Mark Chapman
What is Anglicanism? How is it different from other forms of Christianity, and how did it come to have so many different versions throughout the world? Although originally united by location and a common belief, Anglicanism has gradually lost its pre-eminence as the English state church due to increasing pluralisation and secularisation. While there are distinctive themes and emphases which emerge from its early history and theology, there is little sense of unity in Anglicanism today. In Anglicanism: A Very Short Introduction, Mark Chapman highlights the diversity of contemporary Anglicanism by exploring its fascinating history, theology, and structures. Putting the history and development of the religion into context, Chapman reveals what it is that holds Anglicanism together despite the recent crises that threaten to tear it apart. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
