Peter Wright, jeden z hlavních protagonistů britského televizního seriálu Veterinář z Yorkshiru, vypráví příběhy z vlastní veterinární praxe a s laskavým nadhledem i suchým humorem líčí život vesnického zvěrolékaře. Sympatická kniha navazuje na tradici Jamese Herriota – a to doslova, protože autor s tímto „nejslavnějším veterinářem všech dob“ pracoval v jeho ordinaci v Thirsku, malebném městečku v srdci severního Yorkshiru.

Kuchařka profesionálních portrétních stylů. Portrétní fotografie je jedním z nejrozšířenějších, ale také obtížných žánrů. Na kvalitu portrétu, na vystižení charakteristických rysů portrétovaného, ale přitom na podání, které by mělo být přiměřeně lichotivé je kladen velký důraz. Začínající fotografové tak stojí před obtížným problémem: na jedné straně dokonale zvládnout techniku samotného fotografování, současně zvolit a udržet portrétovanou osobu v póze, která je zajímavá nebo pro portrétovaného charakteristická nebo typická, a navíc musí dokázat využít dostupné světlo nebo nasvítit model tak, aby vznikl působivý portrét. Tato kniha byla napsána právě proto, aby fotografům pomohla tyto problémy vyřešit. Uvádí celkem 60 portrétů se všemi potřebnými informacemi: od technických údajů s uvedením fotoaparátu, nastavení expozice, použitého osvětlení nebo pomůcek a rekvizit přes volbu lokace až po způsob komunikace s modelem a volbu stylu portrétu. Autoři uvádějí různé druhy a styly portrétu – od hollywoodské klasiky (jako je třeba Samuel L. Jackson) přes focení historického portrétu až po akční portrét rockové hvězdy – se všemi potřebnými detaily a schématy rozmístění a použití světel a nejrůznějších pomůcek, aby se čtenář mohl nechat inspirovat a vyzkoušet kterýkoli ze stylů při vlastním focení. Ukázky zahrnují jak fotografii s využitím pouze přirozeného slunečního světla, tak i práci ve studiu, ale také použití studiové techniky v exteriéru. Zjistíte, že na vytvoření zajímavého portrétu postačí třeba jenom jedno světlo nebo odrazná deska. Současně ale autoři upozorňují na to, jak plánovat a zvažovat nákup kvalitní fotografické techniky, která stojí na počátku cesty ke kvalitní portrétní fotografii. Kniha je doplněna i ukázkami základních postprodukčních úprav snímků. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: „Tato kniha učí čtenáře, jak při vedení rozhovorů účinně argumentovat, jak smiřovat protichůdná stanoviska a nenuceně přesvědčovat konverzačního partnera. Autoři upřímně přiznávají, že se v minulosti při vedení rozhovorů sami dopouštěli různých chyb a při čtení postupně zjišťuji, že tytéž chyby dělám také. Svět by byl lepším místem, kdyby si tuto knihu přečetli všichni lidé." Richard Dawkins, biolog a spisovatel Zdá se, že v současné politické atmosféře je nemožné vést rozumnou konverzaci s někým, kdo zastává odlišný názor. Ať už zveřejňujete svoje postoje na sociálních sítích nebo mluvíte se spolužáky ve škole či s kolegy v zaměstnání (nebo jen doufáte, že přežijete ve zdraví rodinnou večeři s tvrdohlavým příbuzným), dialog skončí ve chvíli, když se vaše názory zkříží. Vyhrocené debaty pak často končí urážkami a výčitkami, přičemž obojí blokuje jakoukoli možnost produktivní diskuze. Skoro se zdá, jako by dnes všichni měli při konverzaci stále prst připravený na spoušti zbraně. V knize Jak vést (zdánlivě) nemožné rozhovory autoři Peter Boghossian a James Lindsay seznamují čtenáře s přímočarými a praktickými konverzačními technikami, které jsou nezbytné k vedení rozhovorů na různá kontroverzní témata jako jsou klimatická změna, náboženské přesvědčení, genderová identita, rasová otázka, chudoba, imigrace nebo otázka kontroly prodeje střelných zbraní. Boghossian a Lindsay vás naučí, jak vzbudit u partnera během dialogu pochybnosti a jak následně otevřít jeho mysl. Postupně provádějí čtenáře různými úrovněmi konverzace - od úplných základů, jakými jsou rady a návody pro vedení kvalitního dialogu, až po techniky na úrovni expertů, které se dají uplatnit při rozhovorech s názorovými extremisty. Kniha je užitečným manuálem pro každého, kdo se chce naučit vést zdvořilou konverzaci a snaží se, aby jeho rozhovory s partnery byly prodchnuty snahou o porozumění a empatii. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

James Brown patří mezi nejvýznamnější hudebníky 20. století. Ovlivněn hudbou Rhythm & Blues a Evangelium si rychle vyvinul svůj vlastní styl a stal se kmotrem soulu. Kromě svého vynikajícího hlasu byl James Brown také výjimečným umělcem. Jeho extravagantní taneční styl, jeho neuvěřitelně těsné kalhoty a jeho záliba v líčení činí jeho představení nezapomenutelnými a inspirovala celou generaci nadcházejících popových hudebníků. Na legendárním boxerském zápase "Rumble In The Jungle" mezi Mohamedem Ali a George Formanem v Zairu byl James Brown hereckou show. Byl čtyřikrát ženatý a přes milion prodaných záznamů byl několikrát úplně zlomen a dokonce strávil dva roky ve vězení. Vícenásobný Grammy vítěz prožil svůj život a nechal nás hudbu na věčnost.

The definitive history of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth saga, Anything You Can Imagine takes us on a cinematic journey across all six films, featuring brand-new interviews with Peter, his cast & crew. From the early days of daring to dream it could be done, through the highs and lows of making the films, to fan adoration and, finally, Oscar glory. LightsA nine-year-old boy in New Zealand’s Pukerua Bay stays up late and is spellbound by a sixty-year-old vision of a giant ape on an island full of dinosaurs. This is true magic. And the boy knows that he wants to be a magician. CameraFast-forward twenty years and the boy has begun to cast a spell over the film-going audience, conjuring gore-splattered romps with bravura skill that will lead to Academy recognition with an Oscar nomination for Heavenly Creatures. The boy from Pukerua Bay with monsters reflected in his eyes has arrived, and Hollywood comes calling. What would he like to do next? ‘How about a fantasy film, something like The Lord of the Rings…?’ ActionThe greatest work of fantasy in modern literature, and the biggest, with rights ownership so complex it will baffle a wizard. Vast. Complex. Unfilmable. One does not simply walk into Mordor – unless you are Peter Jackson. Anything You Can Imagine tells the full, dramatic story of how Jackson and his trusty fellowship of Kiwi filmmakers dared take on a quest every bit as daunting as Frodo’s, and transformed JRR Tolkien’s epic tale of adventure into cinematic magic, and then did it again with The Hobbit. Enriched with brand-new interviews with Jackson, his fellow filmmakers and many of the films’ stars, Ian Nathan’s mesmerising narrative whisks us to Middle-earth, to gaze over the shoulder of the director as he creates the impossible, the unforgettable, and proves that film-making really is ‘anything you can imagine’.

This atlas of architectural wonders eschews the classic children's book fare of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal, and instead takes a broader view of what constitutes amazing architecture. Buildings include: the Jameh mosque of Isfahan? in Iran, Native American plank houses in New Mexico, Stave Churches in Norway, The Djinguereber mosque in Mali, and extraordinary 18th century wooden churches on Kizhi Island, Russia.Over 50 buildings span all the continents equally throughout history. Each of these buildings is visually striking and architecturally noteworthy; they introduce new engineering technologies or define a movement or capture the essence of a moment in human history. They epitomise the ambition and vison of an architect or a patron. But although most of them have been recognized by UNESCO or other agencies, they are not part of the main Western architectural canon. This book seeks out a more diverse, inclusive approach to what constitutes amazing architecture, and presents it with fresh illustration and clear, punchy text. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
