What Is Theology - Jean-Claude Larchet

Orthodox theology is intimately linked to spiritual experience:it has a very different meaning to the present usage of this word coming from academia. The scientific methods developed in the West since the seventeenth century can of of benefit in many regards, but without strong roots in the Orthodox tradition theology risks being "eaten up" by the human sciences.These roots are in the mystical tradition of the Church as passed down from the the beginning and expressed in the lives of saints, iconography etc. Thus this work has both a theoretical and a practical scope, of relevance to all Christians.

The Spiritual Roots of the Ecological Crisis - Jean-Claude Larchet

Many Christians are tempted to dismiss concerns over the environment and the catastrophic effects of climate change. After all, prominent voices who most vociferously warn us about this crisis tend to also advocate a wider worldview antithetical to Christian teachings. In this text, noted philosopher and scholar Jean-Claude Larchet finds the roots of the global ecological crisis in a rejection of a truly Christian cosmology. Explaining the relationship between man and nature ordained by God in the beginning, Larchet bases the degradation of the creation ultimately in the primordial fall and outlines how we have arrived at the present crisis point. Finally, the author proposes principles and actions deeply rooted in his Christian ethos that would allow mankind to restore and reinvigorate its relationship with nature.

The New Media Epidemic - Jean-Claude Larchet, Archibald Andrew Torrance

Dr. Jean-Claude Larchet, renowned for his examinations of the causes and consequences of spiritual and physical illness, tackles the pressing question of the societal and personal effects of our societal use of new media. The definition of new media is broad—from radio to smart phones—and the analysis of their impact is honest and straightforward. His meticulous diagnosis of their effects concludes with a discussion of the ways individuals might limit and counteract the most deleterious effects of this new epidemic.

Drahý příteli - Anne-Laure Bondouxová, Jean-Claude Mourlevat

Pierre-Marie Sotto je slavný, u čtenářů úspěšný a kritikou oceňovaný spisovatel. Je to ale také stárnoucí, osamělý muž, a pokud jde o jeho práci - momentálně je v hluboké tvůrčí krizi. Jednoho dne k němu dorazí objemná obálka bez zpáteční adresy; jediný kontakt na ní uvedený je e-mailová adresa jisté Adeline Parmelanové. Sotto nepochybuje, že mu nějaká "nadějná spisovatelka" posílá k posouzení svůj rukopis. Obálku neotevře, odesílatelku zdvořile odmítne a požádá ji o adresu, kam by mohl zásilku vrátit. Než mu Adeline vyhoví, vymění si spolu několik e-mailů, které jsou natolik vtipné a zajímavé, že v dopisování pokračují a objemná obálka zůstává (na žádost Adeline) ležet neotevřená na Sottově polici. Jenomže je v tom háček… Anne-Laure Bondouxová (*1971) vystudovala moderní literaturu a poté začala psát zejména pro děti v těžké životní situaci; pro ně také založila úspěšnou dílnu tvůrčího psaní. Věnovala se divadlu, psaní písní, pracovala jako knižní redaktorka i novinářka.

Dobyvačné armády - Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Jean-Claude Gal

Cyklus temných fantasy příběhů, který vzešel ze spolupráce scenáristy Jeana-Pierra Dionneta s kreslířem Jeanem- -Claudem Galem, se odehrává ve fiktivním barbarském dávnověku. Zatímco Dobyvačná vojska jsou řetězec mikropříběhů popisujících fantastický svět metodou „najít celé moře v každé kapce vody“, Arnova pomsta a Arnův triumf jsou klasické příběhy typu „hrdinova cesta“ a nabízejí pád a vzestup mladého vládce v krutém světě plném nájezdníků a podlých intrik. Spolu s už vydanou Diosamante (Argo, 2018) navíc dostává český čtenář do rukou téměř kompletní dílo fenomenálního a bohužel předčasně zesnulého Jeana-Clauda Gala, jehož neuvěřitelná barokně rafinovaná kresba dodnes ohromuje čtenáře. Díla byla oslnivá už v původních černobílých vydáních; nynější skvěle kolorovaná edice je posunula ještě o stupeň výš.

What Is Paleolithic Art? - Jean Clottes

Was it a trick of the light that drew our Stone Age ancestors into caves to paint in charcoal and red hematite, to watch the heads of lions, likenesses of bison, horses, and aurochs in the reliefs of the walls, as they flickered by firelight? Or was it something deeper—a creative impulse, a spiritual dawn, a shamanistic conception of the world efflorescing in the dark, dank spaces beneath the surface of the earth where the spirits were literally at hand? In this book, Jean Clottes, one of the most renowned figures in the study of cave paintings, pursues an answer to this “why” of Paleolithic art. While other books focus on particular sites and surveys, Clottes’s work is a contemplative journey across the world, a personal reflection on how we have viewed these paintings in the past, what we learn from looking at them across geographies, and what these paintings may have meant—what function they may have served—for their artists. Steeped in Clottes’s shamanistic theories of cave painting, What Is Paleolithic Art? travels from well-known Ice Age sites like Chauvet, Altamira, and Lascaux to visits with contemporary aboriginal artists, evoking a continuum between the cave paintings of our prehistoric past ...

Jefferson - Jean-Claude Mourlevat, Antoine Ronzon

Když se mladý ježek Jefferson vypraví do svého oblíbeného holičství, aby si dal zarovnat frizúru, netuší, že se jeho život v jediné minutě obrátí vzhůru nohama. To, co zatím znal jen z dobrodružných románů, se stane skutečností. Je nespravedlivě obviněn z vraždy, musí se skrývat a pak pátrat po stopách skutečného viníka, které ho zavedou až do země lidí. Naštěstí má dobré přátele a rozum v hrsti. V této strhující a zároveň humorné detektivce, kterou oblíbený autor velkých příběhů Jean-Claude Mourlevat věnoval svým dětem, se čtenáři neformálně dozvídají o podivných lidských praktikách, které nejsou ke zvířecímu světu zrovna spravedlivé, o tom, jak mnoho zmůže síla přátelství, i o tom, že nejlíp si poradí ten, kdo je pevně rozhodnut potřít nespravedlnost a má pro strach uděláno!

Řeka, která teče pozpátku - Jean-Claude Mourlevat, Jindřich Janíček

Románový příběh dvou osamělých dětí. Tomek má jediného přítele, starého moudrého vesnického písaře, Hannah miluje svého žlutomodře zbarveného ptáčka, jedinou památku na zemřelého otce. Ti dva se nakrátko setkají v Tomkově krámku, kde chce Hannah koupit živou vodu z řeky Kžar… Tak začíná Tomkovo hledání řeky Kžar, a hlavně tajemné Hannah, která mu stále uniká. Moderní příběh čerpá z odvěkých zdrojů, ale i z dětské touhy po dobrodružství, mořích, pouštích, přátelství a lásce. Najdou se dvě dospívající děti? A co všechno jejich shledání předcházelo? Jean-Claude Mourlevat, původním povoláním učitel a divadelník, je jedním z nejzajímavějších autorů pro děti a mládež v současné Francii: inspiraci ke svým příběhům často čerpá z pohádkové mytologie, vypráví je však živě a současně.

Bunuel procitá - Jean-Claude Carriere

Jean-Claude Carriere v knize Bunuel procitá dává slovo svému někdejšímu kolegovi a spolutvůrci. Jde o hypotetický, posmrtný rozhovor, v němž Luis Bunuel (1900–1983) sice promlouvá ze záhrobí, nicméně velmi autenticky: hovoří o filmu, o surrealismu, o osobním i veřejném životě. Množství dosud neznámých vzpomínek a epizodických příběhů představuje Bunuela jako umělce i člověka, odkrývá způsob jeho uvažování, vyzdvihuje jeho smysl pro humor. Kniha nabízí poučený vhled do zákulisí filmového umění, ale tím, že je koncipována v podobě rozhovoru, dostává i zcela intimní rozměr. Poutavě napsaný text vykresluje informačně bohatý, fundovaný portrét Luise Bunuela, osobnosti, jež se řadí do světového kánonu filmu.

Robert Doisneau. Paris - Jean Claude Gautrand

As sensitive to human suffering as to the simple pleasures of life, Robert Doisneau is one of the most celebrated exponents of the Photographie humaniste that swept through the 1950s. Cherished in particular for his soulful portraits of Paris, Doisneau demonstrated a unique ability to find – and perfectly frame – charismatic characters, entertaining episodes, and fleeting moments of humor and affection. A summation of a spectacular career, this extensive Doisneau collection includes all his best-loved images from Paris alongside many lesser-known compositions which equally rejoice in “the ordinary gestures of ordinary people in ordinary situations.” The many quotations from the photographer throughout the volume immerse the reader in Doisneau’s thoughts and give verbal expression to the sensitivity, warmth, and wit which characterize his pictures.Through the images, we are transported to the grim suburbs of Doisneau’s youth; the world of manual labor whose nobility he so admired; and to the studios of the many groundbreaking artists that Doisneau captured in moments of reflection and creativity. A number of color shots of the transformed suburbs of Doisneau’s childhood reveal a different, more critical eye to the master photographer.

For the Life of the World – Theology That Makes a Difference - Miroslav Volf, Matthew Croasmun

Christianity Today 2020 Book Award (Award of Merit, Theology/Ethics)Outreach 2020 Recommended Resource of the Year (Theology and Biblical Studies)The question of what makes life worth living is more vital now than ever. In today''s pluralistic, postsecular world, universal values are dismissed as mere matters of private opinion, and the question of what constitutes flourishing life--for ourselves, our neighbors, and the planet as a whole--is neglected in our universities, our churches, and our culture at large. Although we increasingly have technology to do almost anything, we have little sense of what is truly worth accomplishing.In this provocative new contribution to public theology, world-renowned theologian Miroslav Volf (named "America''s New Public Intellectual" by Scot McKnight on his Jesus Creed blog) and Matthew Croasmun explain that the intellectual tools needed to rescue us from our present malaise and meet our new cultural challenge are the tools of theology. A renewal of theology is crucial to help us articulate compelling visions of the good life, find our way through the maze of contested questions of value, and answer the fundamental question of what makes life worth living.

Political Theology and Islam - Paul L. Heck

Paul L. Heck's Political Theology and Islam offers a sophisticated and comprehensive analysis of sovereignty in Islamic society, beginning with the origins of Islam and extending to the present. This wide-ranging study sets out to answer an unassumingly tricky question: What is politics in Islam? Paul L. Heck's answer takes the form of a close analysis of sovereignty across Islamic history, approaching this concept from the perspective of political theology. As he illustrates, the history of politics in Islam is best understood as an ongoing struggle for a moral order between those who occupy positions of rulership and religious voices that communicate the ethics of Islam and educate the public in their religious and moral devotions. In this sense, sovereignty in Islam is split between ruling powers and pious communities, whose interactions range from close cooperation to outright competition. Heck shows that it is precisely through these interactions that Islamic conceptions of sovereignty are constructed and negotiated. Political Theology and Islam's first section spells out the concepts and methods for the study of politics in Islam as a struggle for a moral order, one not only involving varied claims to sovereignty but also a general determination to realize the righteousness ...

It was on the banks of the Seine that Niépce and Daguerre officially gave birth to this new art that has flourished ever since, developing a distinctive language and becoming a vital tool of knowledge.Paris: Portrait of a City leads us through what Goethe described as a “universal city where every step upon a bridge or a square recalls a great past, where a fragment of history is unrolled at the corner of every street.” The history of Paris is recounted in photographs ranging from Daguerre’s early incunabula to the most recent images—an almost complete record of over a century and a half of transformations and a vast panorama spanning more than 600 pages and 500 photographs. This book brings together the past and the present, the monumental and the everyday, objects and people. Images captured by the most illustrious photographers—Daguerre, Marville, Atget, Lartigue, Brassaï, Kertész, Ronis, Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson, and many more—but also by many unknown photographers, attempt to bottle just a little of that “Parisian air,” something of that particular poetry given out by the stones and inhabitants of ...

This unique book illustrates the structure of the fascia in the living human being. Dr Guimberteau''s photographs provide a detailed account of fascial architecture. He is the first person to publish video "movies" showing the structure of the fascia and how the fascia responds to it. The accompanying text explains what the photographs mean, clarifies the importance of the fascia, and sets out the implications of these findings for everyday therapeutic practice. This beautifully illustrated book provides an introduction to Dr Guimberteau''s groundbreaking work. Based on what can be seen he has developed his own concept of the multifibrillar structural organisation of the body, wherein the "microvacuole" is the basic functional unit. His films confirm the continuity of fibres throughout the body thereby seeming to confirm the tensegrity theory, which provides the basis of many manual therapy and bodywork teachings. His work ties in with that of Donald Ingber on tensegrity within the cytoskeleton, and adds to the evidence linking the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix as described by James Oschman.

Eugene Atget. Paris - Jean Claude Gautrand

A flâneur and photographer at once, Eugène Atget (1857–1927) was obsessed with walking the streets. After trying his hand at painting and acting, the native of Libourne turned to photography and moved to Paris. He supplied studies for painters, architects, and stage designers, but became enraptured by what he called “documents” of the city and its environs. His scenes rarely included people, but rather the architecture, landscape, and artifacts that made up the societal and cultural stage. Atget was not particularly renowned during his lifetime but in the 1920s came to the attention of the Dada and Surrealist avant-garde through Man Ray. Four of his images, with their particular fusion of mimesis and mystery, appeared in the surrealist journal, La Révolution Surréaliste, while Ray and much of his artistic circle purchased Atget prints. Atget’s fame grew after his death, with several articles and a monograph by Berenice Abbott. Several leading photographers, including Walker Evans and Bill Brandt, have since acknowledged their debt to Atget. This fresh TASCHEN edition gathers some 500 photographs from the Atget archives at Musée Carnavalet and the Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris to celebrate his outstanding eye for the urban environment and evocation of ...

What is Madness? - Darian Leader

What is Madness? is Darian Leader''s probing study of madness, sanity, and everything in betweenWhat separates the sane from the mad? How hard or easy is it to tell them apart? And what if the difference is really between being mad and going mad?In this landmark work Darian Leader undermines common conceptions of madness. Through case studies like the apparently ''normal'' Harold Shipman, he shows that madness rarely conforms to standard models. What is Madness? explores the idea of quiet madness - that at times many of us live interior lives that are far from sane but allow us to function normally and unthreateningly - he argues that we must seek a new way to assess, treat and deal with those suffering mental health problems.What is Madness? is Darian Leader''s radically insightful and masterfully convincing exploration of a painful, complex but endlessly fascinating area of humanity.''A terrific intellectual stylist'' Joseph O'' Neill, Guardian''Engrossing and enlightening . . . Leader is as much a philosopher as a psychoanalyst'' Metro''The mad . . . have been segregated and often confined; for fear, perhaps, that they will contaminate the rest of us.

What It Is Like To Go To War - Karl Marlantes

In 1968, at the age of 22, Karl Marlantes abandoned his Oxford University scholarship to sign up for active service with the US Marine Corps in Vietnam. Pitched into a war that had no defined military objective other than kill ratios and body counts, what he experienced over the next thirteen months in the jungles of South East Asia shook him to the core. But what happened when he came home covered with medals was almost worse. It took Karl four decades to come to terms with what had really happened, during the course of which he painstakingly constructed a fictionalized version of his war, MATTERHORN, which has subsequently been hailed as the definitive Vietnam novel.WHAT IT IS LIKE TO GO TO WAR takes us back to Vietnam, but this time there is no fictional veil. Here are the hard-won truths that underpin MATTERHORN: the author''s real-life experiences behind the book''s indelible scenes. But it is much more than this. It is part exorcism of Karl''s own experiences of combat, part confession, part philosophical primer for the young man about to enter combat. It It is also a devastatingly frank answer to the questions ''What is it like to be ... Unknown localization key: "more"

What is Sufism? - Martin Lings

Martin Lings provides an excellent and authoritative introduction to the mystical movement of the Sufis based on his lifelong interest in Islamic culture. His explanation derives from a profound understanding of Sufism, and extends to many aspects which are usually neglected. His illuminating answer to ''What is Sufism?'' gives a taste of the very subject matter itself. What do Sufis believe? What do they aim at? What do they do? Unlike other writers on the subject, Martin Lings treats all the three questions with equal justice. He is thus able to give a wealth of answers to the main question ''What is Sufism?'', each answer being from a different angle but all going to the root of the matter.A reviewer wrote ''Should the book appear in paperback, I would use it for undergraduate and graduate courses on Islamic civilization'', and in fact What is Sufism? has become a set book in colleges and universities on both sides of the Atlantic. It is now accepted as the authoritative statement on the subject of Sufism and it has been translated into French, German, Italian and Spanish. It has also been published in Sarajevo in Bosnian, and is available in Braille.

What is Philosophy of Religion? - Charles Taliaferro

An important part of philosophy is concerned with religious questions. What is the meaning of life, and how might religious faith or doubt impact such meaning? What is the evidence for the existence of God? Is evidence essential for religious faith? What is the relationship between science and religion? What is the relationship between religions? How can or should one assess virtues and vices, right and wrong, from a religious versus a secular point of view? In this beginner’s guide, Charles Taliaferro addresses these and other important questions involved in philosophy of religion. He challenges the negative, often complacent attitudes towards religion as being dangerous or merely superstitious, arguing instead for a healthy pluralism and respect between persons of faith and secular inquirers. What is Philosophy of Religion? takes a practical, question-based approach to the subject, inviting the reader to engage with this exciting area of philosophy in a down-to-earth way.

What Is Dark Matter? - Peter Fisher

What we know about dark matter and what we have yet to discoverAstronomical observations have confirmed dark matter’s existence, but what exactly is dark matter? In What Is Dark Matter?, particle physicist Peter Fisher introduces readers to one of the most intriguing frontiers of physics. We cannot actually see dark matter, a mysterious, nonluminous form of matter that is believed to account for about 27 percent of the mass-energy balance in the universe. But we know dark matter is present by observing its ghostly gravitational effects on the behavior and evolution of galaxies. Fisher brings readers quickly up to speed regarding the current state of the dark matter problem, offering relevant historical context as well as a close look at the cutting-edge research focused on revealing dark matter’s true nature.Could dark matter be a new type of particle—an axion or a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP)—or something else? What have physicists ruled out so far—and why? What experimental searches are now underway and planned for the near future, in hopes of detecting dark matter on Earth or in space?

What is the Grass - Mark Doty

Mark Doty has always felt haunted by Walt Whitman’s bold, new American voice, and by his equally radical claims about body and soul and what it means to be a self. In What Is the Grass, Doty – a poet, a lover of men, a New Yorker, and an American – keeps company with Whitman and his mutable, landmark work, Leaves of Grass, tracing the resonances between his own experience and the legendary poet’s life and work.What is it, then, between us? Whitman asks. Doty’s answer is to explore spaces tied to Whitman’s life and spaces where he finds the poet’s ghost, meditating on desire, love, and the mysterious wellsprings of the poet’s enduring work. How does a voice survive death? What Is the Grass is a conversation across time and space, a study of the astonishment one poet finds in the accomplishment of another, and an attempt to grasp Whitman’s deeply hopeful vision of humanity.
