This is no ordinary book about drawing portraits, this is a book that may change your life and identity – transforming you into a dedicated artist who draws with passion and skill. Whether you’re a beginner or already an accomplished artist, The Art of Portraiture takes you on a journey of discovery about what it takes to capture the essence of a person with just graphite and patience.Author and expert teacher Stephen Bauman offers a synthesis of the best lessons he has learned in his career as a student, as well as the most efficient exercises he’s developed as an artist and teacher. If you re up for a bit of adventure, a touch of self-discovery, and a whole lot of drawing, then you re in the right place. This book is Stephen’s earnest attempt to share what he’s learned (often the hard way) about drawing portraits. Spoiler alert: There were plenty of awkward attempts, eraser battles, and moments where his ‘likenesses’ were more cartoon than human. But isn t that the point of learning – to embrace the stumbles and celebrate the breakthroughs? There are chapters answering questions such as ‘What makes a drawing work?’ followed by practical tutorials on specific techniques, including Value Mapping and Form Visualization, all accompanied by incredible illustrative examples and steps. Ultimately readers can reflect on the transformation they have achieved throughout the book and focus on their continuous growth and improvement. This is a wonderfully deep dive into the messy, marvellous, and occasionally magical world of portrait drawing.

Climate change is a pressing problem. Does each of us have a moral responsibility to help tackle it? In this volume, Marion Hourdequin and Dan Shahar debate the timely issue of individual behavior and climate change, examining what it takes to live morally in a warming world.Hourdequin argues there are important reasons for people to translate their concerns about climate change into actions in their personal lives. This includes attending to the many ways a single individual can help catalyze systemic change through choices about voting and political participation, food and clothing, energy use, travel, and so on. Shahar disagrees because he endorses moral specialization and division of labor in a world filled with many problems. He argues we should not expect everyone to take action on every serious issue: rather, it is acceptable and even desirable for people to focus on certain issues and decline to act on others—including climate change. The two authors take turns responding to each other and then defending their ultimate conclusions. This volume is sure to draw attention to the question of “individual choice” in climate change debates and to help clarify some of the best thinking on this issue.Key Features:Refocuses attention from big-picture debates over the actions of nations and corporations to more tractable questions about individual choicesExamines whether there are good reasons to structure our daily lives to reduce our impacts on the climateExplores whether it would be best if individuals became “moral specialists” by focusing on a small number of problems while declining to act on many othersIs highly accessible, with clear language and an easy-to-follow formatProvides a glossary of key terms that are bolded in the main textIncludes section summaries that give an overview of the main arguments and a comprehensive bibliography for further reading

Foreword by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell WilsonFrom a top mental conditioning coach— the world’s best brain trainer” (Sports Illustrated)—who has transformed the lives and careers of elite athletes, business leaders, and military personnel, battle-tested strategies that will give you tools to manage and overcome negativity and achieve any goal.He knows how to win. More, he knows the many ways-subtle, brutal, often self-inflicted-we lose. As the most trusted mental coach in the world of sports, Trevor Moawad has worked with many of the most dominant athletes and the savviest coaches. From Nick Saban and Kirby Smart to Russell Wilson, they all look to Moawad for help finding or keeping or regaining their com­petitive edge. (As do countless business leaders and members of special forces.) Now, at last, Moawad shares his unique philosophy with the general public. He lays out lessons he s derived from his greatest career successes as well as personal setbacks, the game-changing wisdom he s earned as the go-to whisperer for elite performers on fields of play and among men and women headed to the battlefield. Moawad s motivational approach is elegant but refreshingly simple: He replaces hardwired negativity, the kind of defeatist mindset that s nearly everybody s default, with what he calls neutral thinking. His own special innovation, it s a nonjudg­mental, nonreactive way of coolly assessing problems and analyzing crises, a mode of attack that offers luminous clarity and su­preme calm in the critical moments before taking decisive action. Not only can neutral thinking raise your performance level-it can transform your overall life. And it all starts, Moawad says, with letting go. Past failures, past losses-let them go. The past isn t predic­tive. If you can absorb and embrace that belief, everything changes. You ll instantly feel more calm. And the athlete-or employee or parent or spouse-who s more calm is also more aware, and more times than not ... will win.

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 a soldier? What is it like to face death? and What is it like to kill someone?

They can⠙t not.⠝ In this spirited book, the revered cultural critic Greil Marcus explains his compulsion as a yearning for fun, for play, and, most of all, to discover⠔to feel the moment when a creation speaks in its own voice.  Marcus reflects on over half a century spent honing the art of attention⠔from his California childhood, overshadowed by mystery and silence surrounding his father⠙s death, to his discovery of the critic Pauline Kael, to a confrontation with a sixteenth-century painting in Venice. Through it all, he invites readers to join him in exploring the revolutionary power of art: what it is, why it captures us, and how it forces us to confront what we think we know and who we think we are. Art challenges us to see the world differently, Marcus argues, and the role of the critic is to enact this perspective.  Funny and poignant, What Nails It is a tribute to the indispensable art of criticism by one of its greatest practitioners.

A Powerful Defense of The Protestant Tradition. Winner of the 2024 Christianity Today Book of the Year Award and Popular Theology category; Winner of Credo Magazine’s Award in Theological RetrievalThere s a movement among evangelicals of exploring the more sacramental, liturgical, and historically-conscious church traditions, including Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. This hunger for historical rootedness is welcome—but unfortunately, many assume that this need can only be met outside of Protestant contexts.In What it Means to Be Protestant, Gavin Ortlund draws from both his scholarly work in church history and his personal experience in ecumenical engagement to offer a much-needed defense of the Protestant tradition.Retrieving classical Protestant texts and arguments, he exposes how many of the contemporary objections leveled against Protestants are rooted in caricature. He shows how historic Protestantism offers the best pathway forward and to historical rootedness for Christians today.In his charitable style, Ortlund demonstrates that the 16th century Reformation represented a genuine renewal of the gospel. This does not entail that Protestantism is without faults. But because it is built upon the principle of semper reformanda (always reforming), Protestantism is capable of reforming itself according to Scripture as the ultimate authority. I find it hard to overstate the importance of this book for every pastor/minister, elder, and serious Bible student that I know. . .This book automatically becomes my new go-to resource explaining Protestantism. It is fantastic, and I thank God for it. . . —Bobby Harrington, co-founder of RENEW.org and Discipleship.org, founding pastor Harpeth Christian Church

These tales cut like razors, charm like poetry, and heal like love Tayari Jones (author of AMERICAN MARRIAGE)A stunning collection of short stories from Caine-Prize and Commonwealth Writer s Prize winner Lesley Nneka Arimah, WHAT IT MEANS WHEN A MAN FALLS FROM THE SKY has been described as luminous (Roxane Gay), mesmeric (Claire Vaye Watkins) and hilarious and heartbreaking (Rowan Hisayo Buchanan). Shot through with magic and a powerful sense of yearning, this is a diverse and dazzling collection that showcases the work of a major new talent at the beginning of a stellar literary career. When Enebeli Okwara sent his girl out in the world, he did not know what the world did to daughters . The daughters, wives and mothers in Lesley Nneka Arimah s remarkable debut collection find themselves in extraordinary situations: a woman whose mother s ghost appears to have stepped out of a family snapshot, another who, exhausted by childlessness, resorts to fashioning a charmed infant out of human hair, a grief worker with a miraculous ability to remove emotional pain - at a price. What unites them is the toughness of the world they inhabit, a world where the future is uncertain, opportunities are scant, and fortunes change quicker than the flick of a switch. Characterised by their vividness, immediacy and the author s seemingly endless ability to conjure worlds at once familiar and unsettlingly different, this is a remarkable debut from a master storyteller (Independent)

Legendární vypravěč Stephen King přináší mimořádnou sbírku dvanácti krátkých příběhů, z nichž mnohé nebyly dosud nikdy publikovány a patří k jeho nejlepším povídkám vůbec.„Máte to rádi temnější? Fajn, já taky,“ píše Stephen King v doslovu ke své nové sbírce dvanácti povídek, jejichž tématem jsou temné stránky života – přeneseně i doslova. King byl odjakživa povídkovým mistrem a několikastránkovým příběhem dokáže uchvátit stejně jako svými slavnými romány. Zavede čtenáře do snů plných zlých předtuch, do podivných koutů reality, kde se může stát cokoli, nebo na Floridu, kde se tentokrát odehrává volné pokračování legendárního hororu Cujo.Dva talentovaní bastardi zkoumají dlouho skrývané tajemství původu jejich výjimečných schopností. Ve Zlém snu Dannyho Coughlina jakýsi krátký a tajemný záblesk převrátí naruby desítky životů, z nichž ten Dannyho je nejkatastrofálnější. V Chřestýšovi, pokračování románu Cujo, se truchlící vdovec vydává na Floridu, aby si odpočinul, a místo toho dostane nečekané dědictví – ale s velkými závazky. V povídce Snílci odpoví mlčenlivý veterán z Vietnamu na inzerát a zjistí, že některé kouty vesmíru je lepší neprozkoumávat. Odpovídač se zase ptá, zda je předvídavost štěstí, nebo smůla, a připomíná nám, že i život poznamenaný nesnesitelnou tragédií může mít stále smysl.

We can expect these AI systems to soon be making autonomous decisions on the user s behalf, with transformative impact on everything we do. It is vital we understand how they work.Can AI systems think , know and understand ? Could they manipulate or deceive you, and if so, what might they make you do? Whose interests do they ultimately represent? And when will they be able to move beyond words and take actions for themselves in the real world?To answer these questions, neuroscientist and AI researcher Christopher Summerfield explains how these strange new minds work. He charts the evolution of AI, from the earliest inklings about thinking machines in the seventeenth century to today s gargantuan deep neural networks. The resulting book is the most accessible, up-to-date and authoritative exploration of this radical new technology.Ultimately, armed with an understanding of AI s mysterious inner workings, we can begin to grapple with the existential question of our age: can we look forward to a technological utopia, or are we in the process of writing ourselves out of history?

Life is full of uncertainty when you work deep undercover. I had to forget Steve Bentley and become totally immersed in the psyche of Steve Jackson. I was ready to do almost anything to further my cover. It was one great adrenaline rush fuelled by copious amounts of alcohol, hash, weed and some cocaine. This is the true story behind Operation Julie, the groundbreaking police investigation that resulted in the break-up of one of the largest LSD manufacturing operations in the world, by the detective who infiltrated their global drug empire. In the mid-1970s, at the age of 29, Stephen Bentley, a fresh-faced detective, turned himself into Steve Jackson, a dope-smoking, hard-drinking hippie. His time spent undercover with a gang making and distributing LSD,, as well as infiltrating a cartel planning to smuggle cocaine into Britain, helped bring down two criminal networks. However, the operation also led to deep personal aftershocks felt long after the case closed. As we get up close and personal with the operators of the drug supply chain that fuelled 1970s counterculture, the story becomes laden with heavy drug-taking, blurred lines between cop, criminal and friend, and creeping doubts about who Steve really is. Stephen Bentley s insider account shows what it really takes to go undercover - to befriend, to betray and to bury your sense of self.
