Ruth Orkin
Ruth Orkin is a legend of street photography - her atmospheric pictures taken in cities such as Florence, New York and London still shape the image of these metropolises today. But Orkin's specialty not only encompassed the urban but also the personal. This is evident in her unique eye that enabled her street scenes to consistently offer penetrating insights into the time and personality of her subjects. And it likewise shows in her fantastic portraits of celebrities such as Albert Einstein, Woody Allen, and Lauren Bacall. These inimitable images seemingly combine snapshot and pose to present the star in his or her role and at the same time as an autonomous individual. Published on the occasion of the photographer's 100th birthday, this illustrated book celebrates Orkin's life and work with an equally extensive and fascinating overview of this exceptional artist's oeuvre.

Kashmir at the Crossroads
An authoritative, fresh, and vividly written account of the Kashmir conflict-from 1947 to the present
The India-Pakistan dispute over Kashmir is one of the world's incendiary conflicts. Since 1990, at least 60,000 people have been killed-insurgents, civilians, and military and police personnel. In 2019, the conflict entered a dangerous new phase. India's Hindu nationalist government, under Narendra Modi, repealed Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir's autonomous status and divided it into two territories subject to New Delhi's direct rule. The drastic move was accompanied by mass arrests and lengthy suspension of mobile and internet services.
In this definitive account, Sumantra Bose examines the conflict in Kashmir from its origins to the present volatile juncture. He explores the global context of the current situation, including China's growing role, as well as the human tragedy of the people caught in the bitter dispute. Drawing on three decades of field experience in Kashmir, Bose asks whether a compromise settlement is still possible given the ascendancy of Hindu nationalism in India and the complex geopolitical context.

Architecture Now! Museums
Star architects from Zaha Hadid to Herzog & de Meuron have shaken up the formerly staid world of museum architecture, bringing bravura to new buildings and extensions. But the trend for new museums to opt for bold contemporary architecture goes well beyond the stunning work of Renzo Piano or Tadao Ando. Many less well-known architects have also designed remarkable places to exhibit art and artifacts.
Some have provoked controversy, like Mexican architect Teodoro González de León's University Museum of Contemporary Art on the sprawling UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico) campus. Others have been warmly welcomed, like the sweeping, light-filled Art Gallery of Ontario Extension by Toronto-born Frank O. Gehry, his first commission in his native city. Others point out new horizons for reclaiming brownfield sites and reviving derelict industrial structures: Nicholas Grimshaw's conversion of a disused 1960s blast furnace into Horno 3, a welcoming extra gallery space for the Mexican city of Monterrey's Museum of Steel is a case in point. In Cartagena, Spain, Rafael Moneo's decade-long work on the Museum of the Roman Theater culminated in a structure that engages visitors in an archaeological manner, taking them on a tour of history as well as the site itself.
Here then are more than 50 projects by the major talents pushing the limits of contemporary museum design, from established masters to the latest generation of brilliant architects.

Armáda strojov
Čo sa stane, keď predátor – dron má autonómiu ako google auto? Alebo ak zbraň, ktorá dokáže sama loviť a napádať vlastné ciele, ovládnu hekeri? Hoci to znie ako sci-fi, technológia na vytvorenie zbraní, ktoré napadajú ciele bez ľudského pokynu, už existuje. Paul Scharre, vedúci expert v oblasti nových technológií zbraní, čerpá z vlastných bohatých skúseností a výsledkov výskumu s cieľom zistiť, ako zbrane novej generácie menia vojnu.
Jeho rozsiahla analýza skúma vznik autonómnych zbraní, aktivity vyvíjané na ich zákaz aj právne a etické otázky týkajúce sa ich používania. Zameriava sa na umelú inteligenciu vo vojenskej technike, zahŕňajúcu desaťročia inovácií od nemeckých torpéd Wren vyhľadávajúcich zvuky v druhej svetovej vojne, predchodcov dnešných samonavádzacích rakiet, po autonómne kybernetické zbrane, robotické lode loviace ponorky a tankové robotické armády. Prostredníctvom rozhovorov s odborníkmi na obranu, so zástancami etických hodnôt, s psychológmi a aktivistami Scharre zisťuje, akým výzvam môžu čeliť „kentaurskí bojovníci“ na budúcich bojiskách, kde bude nevyhnutné zlúčiť ľudské a strojové rozpoznávanie. V uplynulých desaťročiach sme dosiahli obrovský technický pokrok, no takisto sme zažili tragické nehody, ktoré vyplynuli z komplexných automatizovaných systémov. Napríklad moderné stíhacie lietadlá F-22 zaznamenali kolaps palubného počítača, keď prvýkrát prekročili dátumovú hranicu.
Najmenej tridsať štátov už má obranné autonómne zbrane, ktoré fungujú pod ľudským dohľadom. Armády všade na svete súťažia v konštruovaní robotických zbraní so zvyšujúcou sa autonómiou. Etické otázky tak dostávajú čoraz väčší význam. Do akej miery by sa mala takáto technika rozšíriť? Ak ju zodpovedné demokratické štáty zakážu, zabráni to nebezpečným režimom využívať výhody, ktoré z toho vyplynú?
Armáda strojov sa zameriava na vojenskú históriu, globálnu politiku, špičkovú vedu a tvrdí, že takúto techniku môžeme prijať tam, kde môže urobiť vojnu presnejšou a humánnejšou, ale nesmieme sa vzdať ľudského úsudku. Ak je možnosť vybrať si medzi životom a smrťou, za ľudské srdce neexistuje nijaká náhrada.

Jeff Wall
Cinematic scenes with painterly compositions that place contemporary photography within the broader canon of art history
Since the late 1970s, Canadian photographer Jeff Wall has made significant contributions to establishing photography as an autonomous medium. He is considered the founder of "staged" photography and generates mostly large-format photographs—often inspired by literature, film and art history—composed in a multilayered and subtle way from a multitude of individual shots. Wall makes a distinction between his documentary still life photos and his "cinematographic" pictures, the latter of which take months or even years to complete. His contemporary genre scenes invoke famous works by Hokusai, Manet, Kafka, Ellison and others.
Among the more than 50 works collected in the catalog of the large-scale solo exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler are Wall's iconic large-format slides in light boxes, black-and-white photographs and color photographic prints. His most recent images, representing the entire spectrum of his oeuvre, enter into a dialogue with works from the time of Wall's beginnings as an artist and reveal a wide range of references in terms of content and form. These new works will be on display and published in book form for the first time.
Jeff Wall (born 1946) received degrees in art history from the University of British Columbia and the Courtauld Institute of Art. After teaching for a few years he turned to photography in earnest in 1977; he continues to experiment with both digital and analog techniques. Wall's work was included in Documenta 10 and 11 and has been exhibited at Tate Modern, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Museo Tamayo.

Investigation
In the tradition of Schroedinger's classic What Is Life?, this book is a tour-de-force investigation of the basis of life itself, with conclusions that radically undermine the scientific approaches on which modern science rests-the approaches of Newton, Boltzman, Bohr, and Einstein.
Kauffman's At Home in the Universe, which The New York Times Book Review called "passionately written" and nature named "courageous," introduced pivotal ideas about order and evolution in complex life systems. In investigations, Kauffman builds on these theories and finds that classical science does not take into account that physical systems-such as people in a biosphere-effect their dynamic environments in addition to being affected by them. These
systems act on their own behalf as autonomous agents, but what defines them as such? In other words, what is life? By defining and explaining autonomous agents and work in the contexts of thermodynamics and of information theory, Kauffman supplies a novel answer to this age-old question that goes beyond traditional scientific thinking.
Much of Investigations unpacks the progressively surprising implications of his definition. Kauffman lays out a foundation for a new concept of organization, and explores the requirements for the emergence of a general biology that will transcend terrestrial biology to seek laws governing biospheres anywhere in the cosmos. Moreover, he presents four candidate laws to explain how autonomous agents co-create their biosphere and the startling idea of a "co-creating" cosmos.
A showcase of Kauffman's most fundamental and significant ideas, Investigations presents a new way of thinking about the basics of general biology that will change the way we understand life itself-on this planet and anywhere else in the cosmos.

World Without Mind
A timely and powerful must-read on how the big tech companies are damaging our culture - and what we can do to fight their influenceFour titanic corporations are now the most powerful gatekeepers the world has ever known. We shop with Amazon, socialise on Facebook, turn to Apple for entertainment, and rely on Google for information. They have conquered our culture and set us on a path to a world without private contemplation or autonomous thought: a world without mind.
In this book, Franklin Foer makes a passionate, deeply informed case for the need to restore our inner lives and reclaim our intellectual culture before it is too late. At stake is nothing less than who we are, and what we will become. It is a message that could not be more timely.

Lacná kniha Neberte mi ilúzie (-70%)
Po dvoch publikáciách venovaných detskému klientovi prichádza na knižné pulty príbeh Martiny, mladej ženy a matky dvoch malých detí, ktorej panická úzkostná porucha a postupne sa vynárajúca obsedantná obranná línia neumožňovali viesť plnohodnotný a c
itovo bohatý život.
Autorku, klinickú psychologičku a psychoterapeutku, pri práci s Martinou oslovila ľahkosť klientkinho asociatívno-symbolického vyjadrovania vnútorných psychických obsahov, preto sa jadrom terapeutickej liečby stávala katatýmno-ima
ginatívna terapia, ktorá konceptuálne vychádza z tradície európskej hlbinnej psychológie. Pri použití tejto metódy terapeut vyvoláva u uvoľneného klienta, pohodlne sediaceho v kresle, imagináciu, podobnú dennému snu. Za zatvorenými očami sa klientovi
objavujú obrazové scenérie, v ktorých sa môže pohybovať, akoby to bola skutočnosť, preto na mnohé reaguje silným emočným pohnutím. Terapeut klienta sprevádza empatickým vciťovaním, udržiava s ním dialóg a podľa určitých pravidiel denný sen môže ovpl
yvňovať.
Prezentovaná štúdia prináša jedinečný a ucelený pohľad na prácu s imagináciami, ktoré sa postupne dostávali na tie miesta v psychike klientky, ktoré boli dlho neoslovené, ale energizovali nástup úzkostných záchvatov. Imaginácie majú úžasnú m
oc. Vedia symbolickým, veľmi šetrným a dôstojným spôsobom stvárniť problém klienta, odhaliť konflikty v ego organizácii. Dostávajú sa veľmi hlboko, až do zážitkov raného detstva a sprítomňujú aj silné, tzv. zdrojové možnosti klienta. A to všetko sa o
dohráva v dôležitom priestore rozvíjajúceho sa terapeutického vzťahu.
Publikácia prezentuje malú symbolickú drámu premeny éterickej, porcelánovej dievčiny na harmonickú ženu s autentickým popisom liečebného procesu a sprevádzania terapeutom. Martina
, ktorá si dlho tvrdohlavo niesla a chcela udržať dievčenský ego ideál, ho počas terapie opatrne a chvíľami bolestivo ako masku odkladá, aby sa mohla stať autonómnou a emočne bohatou ženou.

Do We Have To Work
Work allows us to pay the bills. The practical and conceptual divide between work and leisure profoundly shapes our lives. Work is where many of us derive our status and our sense of purpose. Work is so much part of our lives and our culture that we have internalized beliefs about its value and have built our economies and lives around those beliefs. This book reviews how the meaning, status and structure of work have changed across history and cultures. Amidst the Covid-19 crisis, the growth of AI and the climate emergency, it questions the need for the 'growth escalator', in which society relies on continuous growth to flourish, and suggests that we should find ways to step off or at least slow down the 'hedonic treadmill', in which we crave ever more goods only to tire of them ever more quickly.
This book posits that we are approaching a new era of work. It outlines some of the factors that might lead to change, including the adoption of forms of universal basic income, the growth of the zero- or low-cost economy (renewable energy, user-generated content, community mutual support), and the growth of self-employment and quasi-autonomous ways of working (including from home) in organizations. It concludes that such changes might foster a more fundamental shift: a growing intolerance to the idea of work as a burden and a desire to transform it from something imposed on us into simply the means by which we live our best lives together, recreating in modern conditions with modern resources, a prehistoric unity between being and working.

The Conservative Sensibility
For more than four decades, George F. Will has attempted to discern the principles of the Western political tradition and apply them to America's civic life. Today, the stakes could hardly be higher.
Vital questions about the nature of man, of rights, of equality, of majority rule are bubbling just beneath the surface of daily events in America. The Founders' vision, articulated first in the Declaration of Independence and carried out in the Constitution, gave the new republic a framework for government unique in world history. Their beliefs in natural rights, limited government, religious freedom, and in human virtue and dignity ushered in two centuries of American prosperity.
Now, as Will shows, conservatism is under threat--both from progressives and elements inside the Republican Party. America has become an administrative state, while destructive trends have overtaken family life and higher education. Semi-autonomous executive agencies wield essentially unaccountable power.
Congress has failed in its duty to exercise its legislative powers. And the executive branch has slipped the Constitution's leash. In the intellectual battle between the vision of Founding Fathers like James Madison, who advanced the notion of natural rights that pre-exist government, and the progressivism advanced by Woodrow Wilson, the Founders have been losing.
It's time to reverse America's political fortunes. Expansive, intellectually thrilling, and written with the erudite wit that has made Will beloved by millions of readers, The Conservative Sensibility is an extraordinary new book from one of America's most celebrated political writers.

The Nordic Theory of Everything
From childcare to healthcare, provision for the elderly and tackling issues of homelessness, the Nordic countries are world leaders in organising society - no wonder Finland has been ranked among the happiest places in the world.
But when Finnish journalist Anu Partanen moved to America, she quickly realised that navigating the basics of everyday life was overly complicated compared to how society was organised in her homeland. From the complications of buying a mobile, to the arduous task of filing taxes, she knew there was a better way and as she got to know her new neighbours she discovered that they too shared her deep apprehensions.
The Nordic Theory of Everything details Partanen's mission to understand why America (and much of the Western world) suffers from so much inequality and struggling social services. Filled with fascinating insights, advice and practical solutions, she makes a convincing argument that we can rebuild society, rekindle optimism and become more autonomous people by following in the footsteps of our neighbours to the North.
