Pictures of Czech Postmodernism
The essays in this book deal with those who currently figure among the most important Czech artists and whose work is internationally recognized. Most of them entered the art scene in the late 1980s on the crest of a powerful generational wave known as Czech postmodernism. Although this artistic drive ran parallel to revolutionary changes in Central and Eastern Europe, it would be grossly simplistic and misleading to view Czech postmodernism as a by-product of the disintegration of Communist regimes and exposure to the effects of West European culture. In fact, the story of Czech postmodernism is unique evidence that, in diverse social and political contexts, artists ultimately address issues of a general nature beyond politics and ideology. Kniha je souborem esejů o výtvarném umění české postmoderny a jeho filozofickém, společenském a historickém kontextu. Autor chápe výtvarné umění jako svrchovanou formu symbolického vyjadřování, v němž se projevují originální filosofické myšlenky nebo duchovní prožitky, politické názory a kulturní paměť, ale i hravost nebo nespoutaná imaginace vynálezců a kutilů. Jednotlivé eseje se zamýšlejí nad dílem Tomáše Císařovského, Jiřího Davida, Stanislava Diviše, Jana Merty, Petra Nikla, Petra Písaříka, Antonína Střížka a Jiřího Surůvky. Knihu doprovázejí ilustrace Karla Štědrého. Obsahuje 50 barevných reprodukcí.

Lacná kniha Primer of Happiness 3. - Adults to kids, kids to the world
The third part of the Primer of happiness is not intended only for parents that are looking for a way, with what form to give their descendants the best, but also for souls that want to understand why there are fears in them, why they act the way they act, or they are not successful in something. The key to life pains is located in their childhood. In the way how we were approached, what we saw, feel, experience and absorb in ourselves from the moment of procreation until growing up.
“He who teaches, he learns. Let´s thank for children, they are not a mater of course but a gift. They came to heal us and show us where we have in ammation.“
I was tucking in the shirt of my three years old Sára Ráchel and I told her: “So your small of the back would not get cold…” She looked at me and she said:
“Daddy, I do not have small of the back there, I have wings there.”
You cannot give a child something, that is not in you. – Constant criticizing is the confession of how discontent you are with yourselves, as well as shouting is the expression of your inner pain and helplessness. – A child’s soul is like savana. One sentence is enough to set it on re. – You cannot force children to take on your values. They will take only what they will need in their life mission. – Do not do anything on child´s
behalf, that the child can do itself. You will weaken the child. – Every kid has a powerful Self and the more you will try to break it the longer the child will look for itself as an adult. – The children resonate with what is happening in parents. – Your children do not have to follow in your footsteps and how your parents will end, is their decision. You only have to try to support them.
Author:
What is in our parents, that is who we are. If we do not clean ourselves from negative clan´s debts, our kids will take it on. Unsolved wrong programs and energy taking models of behaviour will get stuck on them. There is no kid that would not be born wise, perceptive, joyful, full of energy, intuitive, nonstop living in the present moment, unchained, happy, godly, so with the characteristics of enlightened people. But if you ask me when I met a permanently happy adult the last time, I will think for a long time… So I take the education of kids as mutual learning – to be inspired by kids to the comeback to Self, own spontaneity, heart that is the connection with Love. On the other side the education of children is for me an e ort to load kids with unconditional love and set them boundaries with respect towards them, without superior approach, so in
the adulthood they will feel and perceive the needs of others. Simply give them the best from myself.

Traffic PB
Why do some people become demons when they get behind a wheel? Why does the other lane always move faster? Why do New Yorkers jaywalk (and nobody does in Cophenhagen)? And why should you never drive with any beer-drinking, divorced doctors named Fred?
Driving is about far more than getting from A to B. As Tom Vanderbilt"s brilliant, curiosity-filled book shows, it"s actually the key to deciphering human nature and … well, pretty much everything. From the etiquette of horn-honking to bumper stickers you should avoid, from gridlock in ancient Rome to why getting rid of road signs actually reduces accidents, Traffic will change the way you see yourself, and other people (and not just through your windscreen).

Thief of Time
Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. And on the Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like the underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there's never enough time. But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time for Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd. Because it will stop time. And that will only be the start of everyone's problems. THIEF OF TIME comes complete with a full supporting cast of heroes, villains, yetis, martial artists and Ronnie, the fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse (who left before they became famous).

Malevich
Kazimir Malevich (1878 - 1935) was a painter and a great art theorist but first and foremost he was the founder of Suprematism (pure abstraction), a style based on geometrical forms. "Suprematism," he wrote, "has led me to discover something that had not been understood until then??? there is in human consciousness an imperious desire of space and the will to escape from Earth." This new publication presents the brilliant works of Malevich, the original painter, who until the age of twentyseven had no professional background as a painter, and who learned to draw out of curiosity and out of his will to learn. Gerry Souter once more offers us the works of a brilliant artist as well as a new perspective on the artist's personality.
