Why do trees fascinate us so much? Maybe because a tree highlights for us humans the "center" of creation: It is still "nature", and yet already on the way to becoming an individual. You can meet a tree, communicate with it. While at the same time you are grateful that it remains quiet or, more precisely, that it speaks to you through its presence. Whenever you get tired of human chatter, you are only too happy to sit down under an old oak tree or maybe an even older olive tree to listen carefully to its eloquent silence. Tomáš Míček is a photographer whose many photo books have delighted his readers and who has captured the "presence" of trees and their magic in an almost mystical way, combining this intuitive approach with the highest level of technical photography.

The world of horses is a peculiar intermediate realm: on one hand, horses embody embeddedness in nature, on the other hand, horses have been strongly associated with the human world for millennia. But there has always been a remnant of wildness and naturalness, of inner fire and dynamic vitality that cannot easily be tamed. The photographer Tomas [Week has been on the trail of the wildness and naturalness of horses for decades. Of course, horses are not the only theme of this talented photographer; he has already created the impressive books "Magic Places of the Earth", "Magic Stones" and "Trees of the World". For him, they form a single homage to nature. This book about the world of horses wonderfully complements the overall symphony.

Kulturní interakce ve středověkém subkavkazském regionu: Historiografické a uměleckohistorické perspektivy*****Tento dvousvazkový soubor se zaměřuje na materiální a vizuální kulturu jednoho z ústředních území předmoderního světa: jižního Kavkazu, který spojuje Kaspické a Černé moře, východní Evropu a západní Asii. Tento transkontinentální a multikulturní region díky své neobvyklé materiální a vizuální kultuře od počátku dějin umění fascinuje a vzbuzuje úctu. Toto jedinečné místo také inspirovalo temnější odezvu: chtivost, koloniální a orientalistické touhy a násilný nacionalismus a konflikty. Tyto dva svazky jsou hlavním výsledkem projektu spolufinancovaného Švýcarskou národní výzkumnou nadací a Grantovou agenturou ČR. Regionální složitost jižního Kavkazu je zde zkoumána prostřednictvím dvou odlišných, ale vzájemně se doplňujících, perspektiv. Svazek I představuje historiografické bádání sahající od devatenáctého století do roku 1991. Snaží se poukázat na a zároveň dekontruovat nejúpornější historiografické mýty o tomto regionu – od orientalismu až po akademický imperialismus. Svazek II zaujímá uměleckohistorickou perspektivu a zkoumá některé z nejpozoruhodnějších náboženských staveb, obrazů a míst v regionu, čímž vnáší hloubku do dosud povrchního chápání interakce mezi komunitami, přírodou a kulturní produkcí v regionu. Tyto společné svazky, plně barevně ilustrované a uložené v elegantním pouzdře, společně nastiňují cesty pro budoucí výzkum v této dříve marginalizované oblasti, jejíž význam pro naše obecné porozumění středověkým a předmoderním kulturám by měl být uznán.

The first in a rich historical trilogy that draws on legend, by a literary craftsman and the author of The Sixteen Trees of the SommeNorway, 1880. Winter is hard in Butangen, a village secluded at the end of a valley. The lake has frozen, and for months the ground is too hard to bury the dead. Astrid Hekne dreams of a life beyond all this, beyond marriage, children, and working the land to the end of her days. Then Pastor Kai Schweigaard takes over the small parish, with its 700-year-old stave church carved with pagan deities. The two bells in the tower were forged by Astrid's forefather in the sixteenth century, in memory of conjoined twins Halfrid and Gunhild Hekne. They are said to hold supernatural powers.The villagers are wary of the pastor and his resolve to do away with their centuries-old traditions, though Astrid also finds herself drawn to him. And then a stranger arrives from Dresden, with grand plans for the church itself. For headstrong Astrid this may be a provocation too far.Talented architecture student Gerhard Schoenauer is an improbable figure in this rugged community. Astrid has never met anyone like him; he seems so different, so sensitive. She finds that she must make a choice: for her homeland and the pastor, or for an uncertain future in Germany.Then the bells begin to ring . . .

From New York Times bestselling author, feminist pioneer, and cultural icon bell hooks, a timelessly necessary treatise on how patriarchy and toxic masculinity hurts us all, with a new introduction by poet Ross Gay.Feminist writing did not tell us about the deep inner misery of men. Everyone needs to love and be loved—including men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways in which patriarchal culture keeps them from understanding themselves. In The Will to Change, bell hooks provides a compassionate guide for men of all ages and identities to understand how to be in touch with their feelings, and how to express versus repress the emotions that are a fundamental part of who we are. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. The Will to Change “creates space for men to acknowledge their traumas and heal—not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone in their lives” (BuzzFeed).

Blake Paterson was both a career railwayman and a railway enthusiast who worked for the Western Region, based at Paddington and Reading. He was also a passionate and very accomplished photographer. Aware of the great changes to the railway network which were underway, even before the publication of Dr Beeching''s notorious report, he resolved to record as much of the changing railway scene, as was possible. To do this, he set himself demanding schedules and would often travel great distances, sometimes using overnight trains, to reach the more remote corners of the network. During this intense period of photographic activity he took thousands of images, normally only taking a photo when the sun was shining and aiming to capture the trains in picturesque settings. He sought innovative angles and unlike many railway photographers of the era, he made a particular point of including people, particularly railway employees, in his photographs. It is believed that none of the images in this volume have been previously published.
