This book contains everything you need to know about suits, from the traditional designs of the early 1900s, to innovative contemporary variations. It was awarded Financial Times' Fashion Book of the Year. Clothes maketh the man. For millions of men across the world the common denominator that identifies them is the suit. Just three and a half metres of fabric, some internal shaping elements, lining, buttons and several metres of thread are all it takes to produce the jacket-and-trouser combination that can be seen from boardrooms to bars, wherever men gather. In Sharp Suits we examine the fascinating history and evolution of the modern suit from the late seventeenth century to date. From eighteenth-century bespoke to the mass industrialization of the twentieth century, we see how the uniform of the ruling classes became the utilitarian outfit of the worker. A series of thematic chapters also illustrate how the universal staple of a man's wardrobe can play many different roles and, chameleon-like, can mean different things in different situations. From the Duke of Windsor to The Thin White Duke, David Bowie; from James Brown to The Jamel from Guys and Dolls to The Godfather, movie stars, rock stars, heroes and villains, philanthropists, presidents and gangsters - all these men and many more have dressed to impress in a matching jacket and trousers and have found that a suit will suit them very well. `Clothes can `do a job'. A well-cut suit can make you slimmer, taller, sexier, more elegant or business-like.' Sir Paul Smith Chapters include: Convention or Fashion? The single-breasted suit A Question of Balance the Double-breasted suit Princes Among Men The striped suit The Italian Job The checked suit US Male The white suit Passion from Paris The Dormeuil suits Lost in Music The Bowie suits The Magic of the Movies (knihydobrovsky.cz)

From the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich to the very last battle in the church and the church crypt.

These are fictitious diaries based on the real historical events surrounding the Czech resistance and parachutists in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia during May and June 1942. Every single day is based on historical documents, photos and the statements of the resistance members who survived. (alza.cz)

Kniha - autor David Spiegelhalter, 448 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Statistics has played a leading role in our scientific understanding of the world for centuries, yet we are all familiar with the way statistical claims can be sensationalised, particularly in the media. In the age of big data, as data science becomes established as a discipline, a basic grasp of statistical literacy is more important than ever. In The Art of Statistics, David Spiegelhalter guides the reader through the essential principles we need in order to derive knowledge from data. Drawing on real world problems to introduce conceptual issues, he shows us how statistics can help us determine the luckiest passenger on the Titanic, whether serial killer Harold Shipman could have been caught earlier, and if screening for ovarian cancer is beneficial. How many trees are there on the planet? Do busier hospitals have higher survival rates? Why do old men have big ears?... (alza.cz)

Pocha; short for pojangmacha, which literally translates as ‘covered wagon’; pocha is a tented or tarpaulin-covered stall, bar or market vendor serving up cheap and unfussy Korean comfort food, snacks and drinks. In Pocha, Su Scott is going home to the streets where she grew up and the food that shaped her. From daybreak to sundown, 80 delicious and playful recipes take you on a journey through the narrow streets of Seoul and sheltered halls of tarpaulin-roofed markets where dust motes and steam glitter in the glow of orange tungsten lights.This is unfussy, easy, comforting food from a country that has perfected late night eating and drinking culture. From Corn Dogs and Fried Chicken to Kimchi Pancakes and Perilla Oil Noodles for slurping (and perhaps some ice-cold soju to wash it all down), Pocha invites you to bring the beating heart of Korea's food scene into your kitchen. Filled with vibrant location photography from Seoul that weaves a tale of Su's touching return to her home country, Pocha is an electric and tender cookbook. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Knížka je překladem původní české studie, kterou napsala česká advokátka a znalkyně této problematiky Klára A. Samková v roce 2011. Vyhrocený problém soužití Romů s majoritní společností, který je stále aktuální v mnoha zemích, zejména evropských, autorka analyzuje zcela kompaktně z historického, právního, sociologického a psychologického hlediska. Metodologickým vodítkem studie je dílo Irwina Yaloma „Existenciální psychoterapie“ a stejně jako tento významný americký psychiatr i autorka předkládá čtenáři čtyři velká témata lidského života, totiž smrt, svoboda, existenciální izolaci a nepřítomnost smyslu. Nahlíží tato témata očima romské komunity, jejími zvyky a hodnotovým systémem, který autorka důvěrně zná. Tím odkrývá zcela nový pohled na Romy jako na svébytný národ s vlastním duchovním a duševním životem, který však je uzavřen nejen pro běžnou majoritní společnost, ale i pro ty, kteří to s Romy tak zvaně myslí dobře. Autorka dochází k závěru, že hlavní problém soužití s Romy netkví v sociální rovině, ale jedná se především o problém národnostní a národní emancipace Romů. Pohled na Romy jako na sociální skupinu pak autorka kritizuje jako nefunkční a zjednodušený pohled státních garnitur. Autorka ve své práci vychází ze svého dlouholetého soužití s romskou komunitou i s hlubokých odborných znalostí. Kvalitu této studie potvrdili špičkoví odborníci. The book is a translation of an original Czech study written by a Czech lawyer and expert in this issue, Klára A. Samková, in 2011. In an entirely compact way, the authoress analyses the escalated problem of cohabitation of Romani/Gypsies with the majority society - which is still topical in many countries, especially in European countries - from the historical, legal, sociological and psychological viewpoint. A methodological guide for this study is Irvin Yalom's work titled "Existential Psychotherapy" and the authoress, like this outstanding American psychiatrist, presents four big themes of the human life to her readers, namely death, freedom, existential isolation and a lack of meaning. She views these issues with the eyes of the Romani/Gypsies, its customs and value system, which the authoress knows very intimately. Thus, she discloses a completely new view of the Romani people as an independent nation with its own spiritual and intellectual life which, however, is inaccessible not only to the common majority society but also to those who say they "mean it well" with the Romani people. The authoress comes to a conclusion that the main problem of cohabitation with the Romani does not consist in the social level, but it is, above all, a national problem and an issue of national emancipation of the Romani people. The authoress then criticizes the view of the Romani/Gypsies as a social group as a non-functional and simplified view of the state representatives. In her work, the authoress draws from her own long-term cohabitation with the Roma community as well as from her deep expert knowledge. Top experts have testified to the high quality of this study.

Humans have been building homes from wood for thousands of years, and yet, in a contemporary world of option and innovation, the most primitive resource could in fact be the most pertinent. Stretching back to historic Japanese houses, becoming synonymous with resort accommodation, and intertwining itself in the modern trend of hygge, its tactility and warmth have influenced countless architectural design movements. Timber is fast emerging as a viable material of choice, a safe, sturdy, and sustainable alternative to concrete. Architects are rediscovering wood’s universal appeal, thanks to recent technological advances. This book explores the innovative and inspiring ways architects are using this universal building material. Spanning grand Alpine escapes to tropical getaways, plywood penthouses to mass timber high-rises, Out of the Woods documents their progressive and inspiring creations from the foundations up.

Monografie líčí příběh sumerského města Uru na počátku 3. tisíciletí před naším letopočtem (zhruba 2900–2700). V rámci bádání o vzniku jednoho z nejstarších státních organismů v dějinách lidstva – prvotního státu starověké Mezopotámie – podává autor svědectví o kritické fázi jeho sociálního vývoje. Právě na počátku třetího tisíciletí totiž obyvatelé Uru, nástupnického státu civilizace pozdní kultury urucké (3500–3200 př. n. l.), v jejímž rámci v Mezopotámii nejstarší tamní stát, organizované náboženství a první vědy a umění vznikly, rozhodovali o tom, zda se zdejší státnost udrží při životě, či zda zanikne bez náhrady, jako se to přihodilo v rámci jiných civilizačních komplexů. Autor pracuje s historickým dokladovým materiálem – psanými texty, archeologickými zjištěními a rozborem pramenů obrazové povahy. Na jeho základě pak zachycuje způsoby, jimiž urské elity pracovaly s hmotným a duchovním dědictvím civilizace urucké. Jejich činnost totiž určila soustavu souřadnic, na nichž se starověký mezopotamský stát vyvíjel po tři další tisíciletí své existence. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Stepping back from the world is an ancient human impulse. Over the last year we have had to retreat. But throughout history, we have chosen to.We were doing it more and more, anyway. Mindfulness and meditation are all the rage. Wellness tourism, yoga breaks, meditation apps, and spiritual boot camps have been booming - entry-level to hardcore.Retreat investigates this human obsession, mining neuroscience, psychology and history to reveal why we seek solitude, what we get out of it, and what is going on in our brains and bodies when we achieve it. What has it meant to the world's great thinkers, and what does it mean, in our age, as an activity we pay for?Is isolation a means of engaging more fully with reality, or evading it? And what has retreat meant at a time when humanity has - to an unprecedented extent - been forced to withdraw? Nat Segnit has felt the pull of solitude and the fear of it, as well as the warmth of company. To answer these questions, he has been on retreats around the world and met yogic scholars, cognitive and social scientists, religious leaders, philosophers and artists.Retreat is endlessly enlightening, sceptical and open-minded. It is about seeking happiness, fulfilment, a change of perspective, and relief from stress and anxiety. And it is surprisingly, joyously, full of human encounter. Ultimately, it is about the discovery that retreat is a mental state that can be achieved anywhere, in a monastery or shopping centre, a cave or a crowd. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The best-selling Guardian art critic Jonathan Jones presents a radical new story of British art. "Sensations is a riveting story of art and science: thoughtful, provocative and persuasive" - The Times "Erudite, impassioned, fascinating" - Financial Times “Sensations brilliantly marshals Jones’s extensive research into engaging narratives of British intellectual history… Compelling.” Times Literary Supplement “I even loved Jonathan’s writing when he slagged my work off! He is a true thinker, a brilliant art historian who can back up his criticism with more than just opinion.” – Tracey Emin “Sensations presents a radically new story of British art. It connects the artists of today with British culture more than three hundred years ago as it finds an unexpected thread that links William Hogarth and Tracey Emin, Thomas Gainsborough and Lucian Freud. What they share is an eye for the real world. I hope this book will change how you see Britain, and its art.” – Jonathan Jones What is the artistic impulse uniting Robert Hooke's drawings of insects, George Stubbs's studies of horses and Damien Hirst's pickled shark? In this new and spirited account of British art, Jonathan Jones argues for empiricism. From the Enlightenment to the present, British artists have shared a passion for looking hard at the world around them. Jones shows how this zeal for precision and careful observation paved the way for Realism, Impressionism and the birth of modern art. This essential art book is a must-read for fans of Gombrich’s The Story of Art and the perfect introduction to British art history. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
