The Safekeep - Yael van der Wouden

An exhilarating tale of twisted desire, histories and homes, and the unexpected shape of revenge - for readers of Patricia Highsmith, Sarah Waters and Ian McEwan's Atonement. It's 1961 and the rural Dutch province of Overijssel is quiet. Bomb craters have been filled, buildings reconstructed, and the war is well and truly over.Living alone in her late mother's country home, Isabel's life is as it should be: led by routine and discipline. But all is upended when her brother Louis delivers his graceless new girlfriend, Eva, at Isabel's doorstep-as a guest, there to stay for the season... Eva is Isabel's antithesis: sleeps late, wakes late, walks loudly through the house and touches things she shouldn't.In response Isabel develops a fury-fuelled obsession, and when things start disappearing around the house-a spoon, a knife, a bowl-Isabel' suspicions spiral out of control. In the sweltering peak of summer, Isabel's paranoia gives way to desire - leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known. The war might not be well and truly over after all, and neither Eva - nor the house in which they live - are what they seem.

Conservation in the Anthropocene - Fred Van Dyke

This book provides a critical assessment of conservation in the Anthropocene grounded in the personal, historical, and cultural development of human interaction with nature.The author argues that conservation can no longer be primarily about preserving nature but must adapt its efforts to promote changes through which humans create a landscape that is neither abandoned nor degraded but used well by humans and non-humans alike. The book first reviews the origin of ideas and conditions that have led to the concept and classification of the Anthropocene and explores how the author’s own interactions with nature were shaped through his experience as a conservation biologist. Next, it considers how humans have come to be the primary drivers of ecological activity, geological events, and climate change. Chapters then focus on the need for new conservation thinking regarding novel ecosystems, urban conservation, the role of Indigenous Peoples in conservation, and the value of protected areas (PAs), parks, and wilderness. The book concludes by identifying strategies for effective conservation and argues for a new formulation of conservation values that redefine human relationships and interaction with nature. Chapters are enlivened by the personal experiences of the author and the first-person narratives of conservation activists and scientists ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Great Mathematical Problems - Professor Ian Stewart

There are some mathematical problems whose significance goes beyond the ordinary - like Fermat''s Last Theorem or Goldbach''s Conjecture - they are the enigmas which define mathematics.The Great Mathematical Problems explains why these problems exist, why they matter, what drives mathematicians to incredible lengths to solve them and where they stand in the context of mathematics and science as a whole. It contains solved problems - like the Poincaré Conjecture, cracked by the eccentric genius Grigori Perelman, who refused academic honours and a million-dollar prize for his work, and ones which, like the Riemann Hypothesis, remain baffling after centuries.Stewart is the guide to this mysterious and exciting world, showing how modern mathematicians constantly rise to the challenges set by their predecessors, as the great mathematical problems of the past succumb to the new techniques and ideas of the present.

The critically acclaimed author of Alien: The Cold Forge takes readers to a rogue colony where terror lurks in the tunnels of an abandoned Weyland-Yutani complex.“Shy” Hunt and the tech team from McAllen Integrations thought it was an easy job—set up environmental systems for the brand new Hasanova Data Solutions colony, built on the abandoned ruins of a complex known as “Charybdis.” There are just two problems: the colony belongs to the Iranian state, so diplomacy is strained at best, and the complex is located above a series of hidden caves. Charybdis has a darker history than any could imagine, and its depths harbor deadly secrets. Until their ship can be refueled, the McAllen team is trapped there. The deeper they dig, the more Shy is convinced there''s no one they can believe. When a bizarre ship lands on a nearby island, one of the workers is attacked by a taloned creature, and trust evaporates between the Iranians and Americans. The McAllen integrations crew are imprisoned, accused as spies, but manage to send out a distress signal... to the Colonial Marines.

Audiokniha: „Van der Kolk čerpá z třicetileté zkušenosti v oboru a dokazuje, že trauma je jednou z nejnaléhavějších otázek veřejného zdraví. Kniha plná vědeckých poznatků a lidských příběhů je intenzivním čtením a odolnost jeho pacientů dojímá.“ — New Scientist O knize Trauma nelze obejít. Jeho následky zažívají mnozí – možná vy, možná vaši blízcí. Vždy však ovlivňuje životy všech okolo. A není v silách trpícího, aby projevy v podobě depresí, chronických potíží, alkoholismu, sebepoškozování či pocitů studu a osamělosti zvládl bez pomoci. Bessel van der Kolk popisuje s laskavostí a otevřeností příběhy, s nimiž se setkal v klinické praxi, a dělí se o výsledky svých výzkumů v oblasti terapie posttraumatické poruchy. Prokázal jimi, že zanedbávané či zneužívané děti, účastníci nehod a katastrof, váleční veteráni či oběti násilných činů potřebují víc než medikamenty. Skutečné uzdravení vede přes hledání cesty k sobě samým, k vlastnímu tělu, které si v nekonečné smyčce udržuje otisk prožitého utrpení. I díky van der Kolkově práci se lze vydat na možná dlouhou, ale nadějnou cestu k lepšímu a plnějšímu životu. Mimo jiné se dozvíte: - Trauma negativně ovlivňuje tělo i mozek a mění schopnost zažívat radost, důvěru, ovládat se a vnímat své tělo. - V rozvoji vývojové ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Comrades Beyond the Cold War - Tycho van der Hoog

North Korea was an important player in the decolonisation of Africa. Freedom fighters across the continent received vital assistance from Pyongyang, and almost all southern African independence leaders travelled to the North Korean capital at some point, in search of support. This alliance has continued into the twenty-first century, with African postcolonial governments throwing a lifeline to Pyongyang’s increasingly isolated economy by hiring North Korean companies, despite United Nations sanctions.Tycho van der Hoog examines the relations between victorious southern African liberation movements and North Korea, from the 1960s to the present. He explains why African presidents sang and danced at parties in Pyongyang, and why North Korean books were translated into Swahili and Afrikaans. He reveals how African soldiers were trained in guerrilla warfare by North Korean instructors, and how North Korean labourers construct monuments in Africa in the shape of AK-47s. And he explores the question of how revolutionary regimes, motivated by a need for survival, work together to defy the global order.Based on extensive research across four continents—including recently disclosed African liberation archives and Korean diplomatic cables—this innovative study is the first book on African–North Korean relations.

Begetting - Mara van der Lugt

An investigation of what it means to have children—morally, philosophically and emotionally“Do you want to have children?” is a question we routinely ask each other. But what does it mean to create a child? Is this decision always justified? Does anyone really have the moral right to create another person? In Begetting, Mara van der Lugt attempts to fill in the moral background of procreation. Drawing on both philosophy and popular culture, van der Lugt does not provide a definitive answer on the morality of having a child; instead, she helps us find the right questions to ask. Most of the time, when we talk about whether to have children, what we are really talking about is whether we want to have children. Van der Lugt shows why this is not enough. To consider having children, she argues, is to interrogate our own responsibility and commitments, morally and philosophically and also personally. What does it mean to bring a new creature into the world, to decide to perform an act of creation? What does it mean to make the decision that life is worth living on behalf of a person who cannot be consulted? These questions are part of a ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Lehmbruck – Kolbe – Mies van der Rohe - Sylvia Martinová, Julia Wallner

This publication traces three outstanding modernist artists and the interrelationship among sculpture, architecture, and nature. In the 1920s, architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe began to conceive of architecture, design, and art as united forces. He incorporated the works of Wilhelm Lehmbruck and Georg Kolbe, two of the best-known sculptors of the Weimar Republic, into the designs of his buildings. In villas such as Haus Lange in Krefeld, the sculptures function not just as independent artworks, but also as essential elements of the villa’s design—an organic system made up of space, light, material, water, and vegetation.  Mies van der Rohe established himself as the visionary architect of New Building, a modernist architectural movement that emphasized geometric form. An architectural approach also permeated the fine art of the time, while a scientific understanding of nature influenced art and architecture equally. This book and exhibition are among the first to bring sculpture and nature together in an examination of Mies van der Rohe’s work. Highlighting eight sculptures by Lehmbruck and seven by Kolbe, the volume features more than one hundred color illustrations.

Tělo sčítá rány - Bessel van der Kolk

Trauma nelze obejít – ale lze ho pochopit a léčit. Ve své oceňované knize nabízí Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, přední světový odborník na trauma, hluboký vhled do podstaty posttraumatických potíží a cest k uzdravení. Více než tři desetiletí klinické praxe s oběťmi traumat mu umožnilo formulovat přístup, který dává naději nejen trpícím, ale i jejich blízkým a pečovatelům.Deprese, chronické bolesti, alkoholismus, sebepoškozování, obezita, stud a osamělost – následky traumatu mají mnoho podob a ovlivňují nejen jednotlivce, ale celé jejich okolí. Van der Kolk s empatií popisuje příběhy pacientů i výsledky svých výzkumů a dokládá, že skutečné uzdravení vyžaduje víc než léky. Cesta vede skrze znovunavázání kontaktu se sebou samým a vlastním tělem, které si nese otisk prožitého utrpení.V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: Prožité trauma mění fungování mozku, schopnost ovládat se, zažívat radost, potěšení a důvěru. Vývojová traumata jsou ovlivněna geny, hormony i ranou rodičovskou péčí. Traumata často maskují psychiatrické diagnózy – terapie musí řešit jejich skutečný původ. Sebe-destruktivní chování je často zoufalým pokusem znovu cítit a získat kontrolu nad vlastním životem. Trýznění lidé se často odpojují od reality, což narušuje jejich identitu i schopnost důvěřovat.

Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts - Paolo Carnelli

It''s been more than 50 years since extraordinary British rock band Van Der Graaf Generator released their legendary fourth studio album, Pawn Hearts: a mind-splitting masterpiece that fascinated an entire generation of music lovers, redefining what could be done within the realm of music. Written by iconic progressive rock author Paolo Carnelli, this is the most extensive treatise of its kind on Van der Graaf''s seminal 1971 record. The book starts with the birth of the Pawn Hearts concept from live band experience, the songs rehearsals and eventually the recording of the album material. A detailed track-by-track musical and lyrical analysis follows. Specific chapters are dedicated to the making and the meaning of the artwork and to the band''s collaboration with King Crimson’s Robert Fripp. The last part of the book deals with the press reaction to the album and the unexpected release of the ‘Theme One/W’ 7'''' in 1972. The final chapter recalls the amazing 2013 ‘Lighthouse Keepers’ VdGG tour: venues, dates and setlists for the whole tour are included, as well as a detailed Pawn Hearts discography.

Mies van der Rohe - Dietrich Neumann

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) was a German-born American architect and designer whose work in Europe and North America has had an enduring influence on modern and contemporary architecture worldwide. During his sixty-year career, he fundamentally rethought architectural types that shaped modern life, including the office building, apartment building, and private home.True to his alleged dictum “less is more,” Mies van der Rohe’s style is characterized by utmost simplicity, elegance of materials, and radical formal and functional innovation, as exemplified by such iconic projects as the Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois, and the Seagram Building in New York. In this book, renowned architectural historian Dietrich Neumann presents a new, critical look at Mies and complicates the established narrative about him. Diverging from the reverential posture of many existing accounts, Neumann insists on the importance of the contemporary context—social, political, and architectural—for understanding the architect’s life and work.The book draws on many overlooked archival and primary sources to demonstrate how and why Mies’s designs were shaped and received, foregrounding contemporary critics’ responses and the work of Mies’s collaborators and peers. It presents several previously unknown buildings, projects, and furniture designs and challenges long-established interpretations of key works. Comprehensively illustrated and ...
