Afterlives: Recovering the Lost Stories of Looted Art
A strikingly original exploration of the profound impact of World War II on how we understand the art that survived it
By the end of World War II an estimated one million artworks and 2.5 million books had been seized from their owners by Nazi forces; many were destroyed. The artworks and cultural artifacts that survived have traumatic, layered histories. This book traces the biographies of these objects-including paintings, sculpture, and Judaica-their rescue in the aftermath of the war, and their afterlives in museums and private collections and in our cultural understanding. In examining how this history affects the way we view these works, scholars discuss the moral and aesthetic implications of maintaining the association between the works and their place within the brutality of the Holocaust-or, conversely, the implications of ignoring this history.
Afterlives offers a thought-provoking investigation of the unique ability of art and artifacts to bear witness to historical events. With rarely seen archival photographs and with contributions by the contemporary artists Maria Eichhorn, Hadar Gad, Dor Guez, and Lisa Oppenheim, this catalogue illuminates the study of a difficult and still-urgent subject, with many parallels to today's crises of art in war.
Essentialism : The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
The life-changing international bestseller that started a global movement - now updated with the new 21-Day Essentialism Challenge and an exclusive excerpt from EFFORTLESS
Have you ever found yourself struggling with information overload?
Have you ever felt both overworked and underutilised?
Do you ever feel busy but not productive?
If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is to become an Essentialist.
In Essentialism, Greg McKeown, CEO of a Leadership and Strategy agency in Silicon Valley who has run courses at Apple, Google and Facebook, shows you how to achieve what he calls the disciplined pursuit of less. Being an Essentialist is about a disciplined way of thinking. It means challenging the core assumption of 'We can have it all' and 'I have to do everything' and replacing it with the pursuit of 'the right thing, in the right way, at the right time'.
By applying a more selective criteria for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter.
Using the experience and insight of working with the leaders of the most innovative companies and organisations in the world, McKeown shows you how to put Essentialism into practice in your own life, so you too can achieve something great.

Čas rytířů dalekých moří / The Time of the Knights of the Far Seas
Tato kniha je téměř zjevením. Zpřístupňuje totiž poklad, o který již léta pečuje brněnské Moravské zemské muzeum. V dosud nepublikované šíři tak můžete listovat fotografiemi ze sbírky Jindřicha Vávry, námořního lékaře a přírodovědce. Vávra byl nejstarším českým cestovatelem, který cíleně sbíral fotografické doklady ze svých zámořských cest, během nichž také dvakrát obeplul svět. Jeho fotografická sbírka z let 18651879, čítající na 1 300 fotografií, je zcela mimořádná. K nejpůsobivějším patří záběry z východní a jihovýchodní Asie, z Austrálie či ze severní Afriky. Vedle řady anonymních děl zahrnuje Vávrova sbírka také albuminové pozitivy z éry mokrého kolodiového procesu od fotografů světové proslulosti, jakým byl Samuel Bourne či Wilhelm Burger. Za své zásluhy v oblasti vědy byl Vávra vedle jiných ocenění honorován čestným titulem rytíř Dalekých moří.
Perfektně vypravená publikace poskytuje zcela nevšední zážitek, a to díky fotografiím, ze kterých na vás dýchne atmosféra dalekých a exotických zemí z časů před sto padesáti lety. Obohatí tak nejen milovníky fotografie a historie, ale i vášnivé cestovatele.

Women Who Run with Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the bins of the female unconscious. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over twenty years of research that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype. Dr. Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. "La Loba" teaches about the transformative function of the psyche. In "Bluebeard," we learn what to do with wounds that will not heal; in "Skeleton Woman," we glimpse the mystical power of relationship and how dead feelings can be revived; "Vasalisa the Wise" brings our lost womanly instincts to the surface again; "The Handless Maiden" recovers the Wild Woman initiation rites; and "The Little Match Girl" warns against the insidious dangers of a life spent in fantasy. In these and other stories, we focus on the many qualities of Wild Woman. We retrieve, examine, love, and understand her, and hold her against our deep psyches as one whois both magic and medicine. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and lifegiving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.
The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong (Novel) Vol. 2
[CHARACTER DEPTH LEVEL +10]
Three years have passed since Shen Qingqiu betrayed Luo Binghe, and now there are only two years left before his "deceased" disciple rises from the dead to claim his bloody glory as the protagonist. At least, that's how the story is supposed to go.
In the midst of investigating a mysterious plague, Shen Qingqiu discovers that his actions have irreparably altered the plot-Luo Binghe has returned all too soon and Shen Qingqiu's brilliant escape plan isn't even ready yet! Worse, Shen Qingqiu can no longer predict his young disciple's actions.
The only thing that hasn't changed is Luo Binghe's intense fixation on Shen Qingqiu himself, but even this obsession may be more than it seems. Not that Shen Qingqiu has the time to puzzle through all the inconsistencies. There are various parties at play in the changing plot, and if he doesn't act fast, he may face a fate far worse than death.
Innersphere - In The Shadow Of The Sun CD
KDO: INNERSPHERE je melodic death metalová kapela z Plzně založená na konci roku 2015. Tento kvartet míchá prvky různých metalových i rockových subžánrů s patrnými vlivy progressive, thrash, black nebo doom metalu, přičemž si stále zachovávají agresivní elementy napříč tvorbou. Poslední alba jsou zaměřena na výpravu, atmosféru a ducha skladeb. INNERSPHERE jsou aktivní kapelou hned od první sestavy (2016), kdy objíždějí koncerty nejen v ČR, ale také v Německu, Polsku, Rakousku či na Balkáně. Vydané byly zatím dvě desky nahrávky a nyní přichází třetí řadové album „In The Shadow of the Sun”. Cíl INNERSPHERE byl a je stejný od samotného začátku – tvořit unikátní hudbu, vyvíjet ji i sama sebe.
CO: Třetí album INNERSPHERE se nese ve velmi vážném duchu. Propracované deathové melodie a úderné rytmy doprovází temná poselství korespondující s aktuálním děním ve světě. „In the Shadow of the Sun“ není koncepčním albem, leč mísí se v ní různá témata. Ať jde o určitou formu mytologie, metafor na psychiku člověka či vlastní zážitky, narážky na společnost a lidstvo jako takové. Z té hudební stránky se jedná o poměrně unikátní mix stylů a prvků, které jsme na nahrávce použili. Hudba by v první řadě měla být výpravou skladby, kterou provází a měla by pomoct posluchači se vžít do dané věci, tématu nebo alespoň se nad ní v určitý moment zamyslet. Zároveň jsme chtěli neubírat na říznosti a šťavnatosti hudební stránky. Album má předpoklad oslovit lidi preferující sofistikovanější kompozice, melodiku, co se nebojí se více poslechů a rádi objevují. Na desce je použito větší množství čistých, sborových zpěvů než dříve a je prolnuto doprovodem mellotronu, který má nádherný, archaický zvuk umocňující mystiku a epičnost metalových písní. aAlbum bylo nahráno ve studiu Barn pod taktovkou mistra zvuku Dana Frimla.
