Dadaism 25
A precursor to Surrealism, the Dada movement stressed the absurd and unpredictable, the illogical and chaotic, lashing out against traditional esthetics and upending artistic conventions. Emerging from the artistic and intellectual milieu of Zurich during World War I, it signaled a re-evaluation of art's cultural relevance in the shadow of industrialized war. Jean Arp, Tristan Tzara, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray were among the most famous proponents of Dada, creating works that dared viewers to expand their notions of what might be considered art. This book explains the impulses and theories that gave rise to Dada, the forerunner of conceptual art.

Death of a Salesman: Certain Private Conversations in Two Acts and A Requiem (Penguin Modern Classics)
In the spring of 1948, Arthur Miller retreated to a log cabin in Connecticut with the first two lines of a new play already fixed in his mind. He emerged six weeks later with the final script of "Death of a Salesman" - a painful examination of American life and consumerism. Opening on Broadway the following year, Miller's extraordinary masterpiece changed the course of modern theatre. In creating Willy Loman, his destructively insecure anti-hero, Miller himself defined his aim as being 'to set forth what happens when a man does not have a grip on the forces of life.'

In the Pleasure Groove
With Duran Duran, John Taylor has created some of the greatest songs of our time. From the disco dazzle of debut single 'Planet Earth' right up to their latest number one album All You Need is Now, Duran Duran has always had the power to sweep the world onto its feet. It's been a ride - and for John in particular, the ride has been wild, thrilling...and dangerous. Now, for the first time, he tells his incredible story - a tale of dreams fulfilled, lessons learned and demons conquered. A shy only child, Nigel John Taylor wasn't an obvious candidate for pop stardom and frenzied girl panic. But when he ditched his first name and picked up a bass guitar, everything changed. John formed Duran Duran with his friend Nick Rhodes in the spring of 1978, and they were soon joined by Roger Taylor, then Andy Taylor and finally Simon Le Bon. Together they were an immediate, massive global success story, their pictures on millions of walls, every single a worldwide hit. In his frank, compelling autobiography, John recounts the highs - hanging out with icons like Bowie, Warhol and even James Bond; dating Vogue models and driving fast cars - all the while playing hard with the band he loved. But he faced tough battles ahead - troubles that brought him to the brink of self-destruction - before turning his life around. Told with humour, honesty and hard-won wisdom, and packed with exclusive pictures, In the Pleasure Groove is a fascinating, irresistible portrait of a man who danced into the fire...and came through the other side.

Morphosis
Thom Mayne, the founder and principal of the Los Angeles-based firm Morphosis, is one of the most influential architects of his generation practising today and is considered part of an informal "Los Angeles School" of cutting-edge architects mentored by Frank Gehry and which also includes Eric Owen Moss and the late Franklin D. Israel. After completing several small residential projects and renovations, Morphosis first gained widespread recognition in the architecture world with the design of several high-profile restaurants in the Los Angeles area in the mid-1980s: 72 Market Street, a loftlike space in Venice, and Angeli Restaurant and Kate Mantilini Restaurant, whose highly articulated steel-and-wood facades and unconventional plans catapulted Morphosis into the international postmodern and "deconstruction" debates of the 1980s. The firm, however, has always been firmly rooted in its Los Angeles environment, responding to the city's historic openness to architectural experimentation and its resistance to traditional grids and geometric orders. As Val Warke has written, "It is likely that most Morphosis blockbusters are about the contemporary culture of Los Angeles, its manic decentralization." Morphosis's buildings, with their eccentric sculptural forms, their windows and structural elements often pitching at skewed angles, and the beautifully complex plan drawings for which the firm is famous all reflect Thom Mayne's interpretation of an often kinetic, unstable contemporary experience. This book publishes for the first time extensive photographs of all of Morphosis's completed work, from the early residential and restaurant projects in Los Angeles to the most recent work beyond California and the United States - in Canada, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and Austria. Included are the Cedars Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center, a showroom for Vecta in Los Angeles, later residential projects - the Lawrence, Crawford, and Blades houses, exhibits at the Walker Art Center and Netherlands Architecture Institute, the Hypo Alpe-Adria-Center in Klagenfurt, Austria, and Toronto Graduate Student Housing in Toronto, Canada. The work in this volume is presented in a clean, almost cinematic layout, with large-format color photographs, including many double-page spreads, illustrating the individual projects. The projects are organized in reverse chronological order, project sections are followed by an essay by Thom Mayne interspersed with commentary by Val Warke. Project credits and a bibliography complete the book.

Kooperativní učení, kooperativní škola
Soudobý velký zájem o kooperativní formy práce ve škole znamená vlastně snahu o využití podmínek, za nichž se děti nejlépe učí v přirozených situacích. Pokud je dětem umožněno pracovat kooperativně, projeví se to ve vyšší úrovni učení, myšlení i řeči, ve vyšší míře samostatnosti a nezávislosti na vzorech, ve vyšším sebevědomí i sebedůvěře.
Další podstatným efektem kooperativního učení je posilování dobrého vztahu mezi učitelem a žáky. Všem učitelům a studentům pedagogiky nabízí H. Kasíková konkrétní náměty pro činnosti, hry a cvičení vedoucí k větší spoluprácí ve třídě. Jsou řazeny od jednodušších, převážně pohybových aktivit ke složitějším, komplexnějším formám kooperativního učení a zahrnují také prostředky pro hodnocení.
Úvodní část knihy shrnuje teoretická východiska i praktické zkušenosti se způsoby i úskalími zavádění tohoto způsobu učení do škol. Jako doplněk jsou uvedeny i záznamy vyučovacích hodin, v nichž je skupinová práce těžištěm výuky.
Doc. PhDr. Hana Kasíková, CSc., je odbornou asistentkou Katedry pedagogiky Filozofické fakulty UK v Praze, zabývá se didaktikou, hrou ve vyučování a kooperativními formami učení. Aktivně se podílí na různých iniciativách zaměřených na reformu české školy.

Království v pohybu
V druhé půli 13. století dosáhla přemyslovská epocha již dříve zahájenými hospodářskými a sociálními změnami kulminačního bodu svého staletého vývoje. I české země přitom vcházely do styku s migračními pohyby, které měnily etnické poměry mezi Labem a Odrou. Zasáhly hlavně Slezsko, ve slabší míře i Čechy a Moravu. Završování těchto procesů, jejich vztah ke staršímu osídlení a jakou roli v tom sehrávaly tvořící se vazby mezi vesnicí a městem, to jsou otázky pro pochopení celého 13. století. Právě v nich spočívá těžiště příštích výkladů, ukončených rolí jihlavských, brodských a ve vrcholné fázi kutnohorských stříbrných nalezišť. Bez nadějí vkládaných do kutnohorských couků by stěží světlo světa spatřil „věčný a pevný“ pražský groš, ohlašující zásadní obrat v monetární praxi českých zemí, jejich další hospodářskou aktivizaci a pokračující posilování „městských“ regionů. Již tehdy se zároveň dá pozorovat i odvrácená strana tohoto „pokroku“, a to jeho zásahy do přirozené krajiny se všemi důsledky z toho plynoucími.

100 hodin, kdy umírala republika
Čas je značně proměnlivá hodnota. Sto hodin, tedy něco málo přes čtyři dny, je údobí, které v životě kohokoli z nás i v chodu států většinou jen málo znamená. V osudovém roce 1939 tomu bylo naopak. Sto dramatických a četnými zvraty nabitých sto hodin, které uplynuly mezi prvními minutami pondělí 13. března a čtvrtou hodinou ranní dne 17. března, zásadním a ničivým způsobem poznamenalo naše dějiny. Strhující děj, líčený autory v podobě časového sledu a s četnými průhledy do lidských osudů, začíná na faře v spících Bánovcích nad Bebravou, odkud je přes Bratislavu do Berlína narychlo dopraven katolický kněz Jozef Tiso. Končí pak prvními hodinami pátku 17. března, kdy Adolf Hitler již opustil pokořenou Prahu, kde se na Václavském chystala vojenská přehlídka německých branných sil, a přes Moravu mířil vstříc jásavým oslavám svého triumfu ve Vídni. Bylo to sto hodin, kdy republice, která se v předchozím roce dožila svých dvacetin. byl na dlouhých šest let vnucen umrtvující okupační režim.

Down the Drain
The hotly anticipated book from ‘one of the all-time pop-culture greats’ (New York magazine) that chronicles her shocking life and unyielding determination to not only survive but achieve her dreams.
Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself.
This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy: her parents’ volatile relationship that divided her childhood between Italy and New York City and left her largely raising herself; a possessive and abusive drug-dealing boyfriend whose torment continued even from within Rikers Island; her own trips to jail as well as to a psychiatric hospital; her work as a dominatrix that led to a complicated entanglement with a sugar daddy; a heroin habit that led to New Orleans trap houses and that she would kick only after the fatal overdose of her best friend; her own near-lethal overdoses and the deaths of still more friends from drugs and suicide; an emotionally explosive, tabloid-dominating romance with a figure she dubs “The Artist”; a whirlwind, short-lived marriage and her trials as a single parent striving to support her young son.
Yet as extraordinary as her story is, its universality is what makes it so powerful. Fox doesn’t just capture her evolution from grade-school outcast to fashion-world icon, she captures her transition from girlhood to womanhood to motherhood. Family and friendship, sex and death, violence and love, money and power, innocence and experience—it’s all here, in raw, remarkable and riveting detail.
More than a year before the book's publication, Fox's description of it as "a masterpiece" in a red carpet interview went viral. As always, she was just being honest. Down the Drain is a true literary achievement, as one-of-a-kind as its author.
