Prozaická prvotina americké básnířky je silnou výpovědí o naší současnosti, kterou pohání a formuje náladový svět sociálních médií – ona hyperrealita, zakusující se do vlastního ocasu, jež svou demokratizací hlasů ve veřejném prostoru, relativizací a vyprázdněností pojmů ovlivňuje události ve skutečném světě. Kniha je rozdělená na dvě části, které jsou svým zaměřením diametrálně odlišné, kladou proti sobě svět reálný a virtuální. Ve skutečnosti představují jin a jang, spojené nádoby, dvě strany jedné mince. Ta první líčí život a myšlenky hlavní hrdinky, kterou bychom nejspíš označili nálepkou influencerka. Jsou to střípky skutečných událostí, jejich reflexe v nových médiích a úvahy, jimiž hrdinka komentuje dění kolem sebe. Ve druhé části se perspektiva mění: sestra hrdinky čeká dítě postižené Proteovým syndromem, které nemá šanci na dlouhodobé přežití. Vše se smrskne na nemocniční pokoj, na hluboké prožívání přítomnosti, snahu zachytit, vnímat a do paměti vtisknout každou vteřinu. To vše nám zprostředkovávají citlivé niterné postřehy, tolik kontrastující s přepjatou bombastičností hrdinčina virtuálního světa. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Kniha popisuje metodologii a hlavní výsledky projektu ASSET, který mezi lety 2019 a 2021 s podporou programu Kreativní Evropa zkoumal publikum v divadlech v Česku, Rakousku, Finsku, Chorvatsku a Bulharsku. Představen je také zcela nový model segmentace publika dle obsahových preferencí, který v rámci projektu vznikl. Každá ze zemí zapojených v projektu má navíc v knize svou kapitolu, která přibližuje specifika tamního publika a také průběh šetření z pohledu samotných zapojených divadel. Samostatná kapitola je pak věnována Evropské noci divadel jako klíčovému nástroji rozvoje publika na evropské úrovni. ASSET, which stands for Audience Segmentation System in European Theatres, has been an international collaboration and research project of seven partners from across Europe supported by the Creative Europe programme in the period 2018 to 2021. The main goal of ASSET was to develop, test and provide theatres and performing arts and cultural organisations in Europe with the tools and skills to learn about their audiences, using this knowledge to diversify and deepen the relationship with their audiences and develop their artistic programmes. The final publication describes the process behind the project with a focus on audience segmentation methodology, main results and specifics of audiences in each country and also introduces a new segmentation model developed for 20 participating theatres in 5 european capitals.

Longlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2016 The world's most intractable problems solved: ambitious lessons in leadership and hope from free-thinkers and innovators who have tackled our biggest challenges From immigration reform to energy resources, from political paralysis to inequality and extremism, we are beset by a raft of huge and seemingly insurmountable issues. The daily newspapers, the rolling 24-hour television news, portray a world in terminal decline. What goes under-reported are the success stories. Here, taking ten of the most knotty issues we face today, Jonathan Tepperman examines unsung individuals' bold and innovative attempts against all odds and expectations to solve some of the important problems governments have struggled with for decades. Each chapter tells the story of one government that's found a way to avoid the snares that entangle most of the others. The solutions described in the book aren't speculative: they've all already been tried, and they work. Controversial, provocative but always stimulating, Tepperman here offers a powerful, data-driven case for optimism. Written with flair and an infectious exuberance, The Fix is a book to restore hope to the pessimistic, and offer both practical advice and inspiration in a time of relentless bad news.

F1 is now the fastest growing sport in the world; the full story of its unbelievable rise is a riveting saga only hinted at by the likes of Drive to Survive. In this book - the first, definitive account of how F1 came to achieve total global fandom - Wall Street Journal reporters Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg take us inside a world full of racing obsessives, glamorous settings, petrolheads, engineering geniuses, dashing racers and bitter rivalries.The story of F1's world dominance is one of near-constant transformation and experimentation. This is a sport where the only way to win championships is to land a series of technical moon shots - and then do it all over again. With fast cars, big money, beautiful people, and glamorous locations from Monaco to Melbourne, The Formula tells the full, epic story of the sport. Starting in 1950s Britain, where six years of wartime engineering laid the foundations for a new type of motorcar racing; to the first global star partnership of Senna and Ecclestone; Spygate; Crashgate and its transition into an entertainment juggernaut.

Have good intentions, over-parenting and the decline in unsupervised play led to the emergence of modern identity politics and hypersensitivity?In this book, free speech campaigner Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt investigate a new cultural phenomenon of "safetyism", beginning on American college campuses in 2014 and spreading throughout academic institutions in the English-speaking world.Looking at the consequences of paranoid parenting, the increase in anxiety and depression amongst students and the rise of new ideas about justice, Lukianoff and Haidt argue that well-intended but misguided attempts to protect young people are damaging their development and mental health, the functioning of educational systems and even democracy itself.
