Creation Stories: Landscapes and the Human Imagination
An accessible exploration of how diverse cultures have explained humanity's origins through narratives about the natural environment
Drawing from a vast array of creation myths-Babylonian, Greek, Aztec, Maya, Inca, Chinese, Hindu, Navajo, Polynesian, African, Norse, Inuit, and more-this concise illustrated book uncovers both the similarities and differences in our attempts to explain the universe.
Anthony Aveni, an award-winning author and professor of astronomy and anthropology, examines the ways various cultures around the world have attempted to explain our origins, and what roles the natural environment plays in shaping these narratives. The book also celebrates the audacity of the human imagination.
Whether the first humans emerged from a cave, as in the Inca myths, or from bamboo stems, as the Bantu people of Africa believed, or whether the universe is simply the result of Vishnu's cyclical inhales and exhales, each of these fascinating stories reflects a deeper understanding of the culture it arose from as well as its place in the larger human narrative.

Eltékozolt évtized - The lost decade
All sorts of people came into the offices of the news-weekly and Orrison Brown had all sorts of relations with them. Outside of office hours he was ?one of the editors??during work time he was simply a curly-haired man who a year before had edited the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern and was now only too glad to take the undesirable assignments around the office, from straightening out illegible copy to playing call boy without the title. A legkülönbözõbb típusú emberek látogatták a hetilap szerkesztõségének irodáit, és Orrison Brown ennek megfelelõen bánt velük. Munkaidõn kívül ?a szerkesztõk egyike? volt, de munkaidõben csak egy fürtös hajú fiatalember, aki egy évvel ezelõtt még a Jack-o-Lantern címû harvardi diáklapot szerkesztette, és most mindennek örült, amit a hivatalban rábíztak. Annak is, aminek mások nem nagyon. Például az olvashatatlan kéziratok szerkesztésétõl a kefelevonattal való futkározásig.

Degrees of Separation Bohumil Kubišta and the European Avant-Garde
In Beyond the Avant Garde, scholars from Czechia, Canada, Germany, and Hungary take a new approach to exploring the work of one of Central Europes most interesting modernist painters -- Bohumil Kubišta. While many art historians have consigned Kubištas work into an idealized Czech canon, Kubišta did not identify with a nation state clearly defined by ethnicity, language, and territorial reach. Although born and raised in the Czech lands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he traveled widely, maintained important international contacts, and served as a successful artillery officer in Austro-Hungarian army during World War I. Taking a transnational approach that incorporates thorough topographical research, the authors of Beyond the Avant-Garde: Bohumil Kubišta and European Modern Art attempt to redraw the current map of European modernism by exploring the artists subversive approach to the stylistic currents of his time. The book reveals the complex artistic, cultural, and historical relationships within early twentieth-century Europe, as Kubišta and other Central Europan artists tried to balance their admiration for the dominant artistic trends coming out of Paris with their desire to find alternative forms expression, arising from local artistic and intellectual sources. It traces Kubišta's steps through the boulevards and cafes of Paris and other cities, such as Florence and Pula, while also using cartographic techniques to record the progress of his artwork between various artistic points on Europes artistic map. In addition to the twenty scholarly chapters, the book features a wealth of documentation, including: high quality images of the artists work; an exhaustive 160-page timeline with notes from and about the artist, as well as documentary support; a comprehensive inventory of 363 Kubišta works; an exhibition list from 1907 to 2019.

The Isles of the Gods
Magic, romance, and slumbering gods clash in the start of a riveting fantasy series spanning gangsters' dens, forgotten temples, and the high seas from the New York Times bestselling author of the Illuminae Files and the Aurora Cycle.
Selly has salt water in her veins. So when her father leaves her high and dry in the port of Kirkpool, she has no intention of riding out the winter at home while he sails to adventure in the north seas. But any plans to follow him are dashed when a handsome stranger with tell-tale magician's marks on his arms commandeers her ship under cover of darkness: He is Prince Leander of Alinor, and he needs to cross the Crescent Sea without detection so he can complete a ritual on the sacred Isles of the Gods.
Selly has no desire to escort a spoiled prince anywhere, and no time for his entitled demands or his good looks. But what starts as a leisure cruise will lead to acts of treason and sheer terror on the high seas, bringing two countries to the brink of war, two strangers closer than they ever thought possible and two dangerous gods stirring from centuries of slumber...

The Future is History
In The Future is History Masha Gessen follows the lives of four Russians, born as the Soviet Union crumbled, at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each came of age with unprecedented expectations, some as the children or grandchildren of the very architects of the new Russia, each with newfound aspirations of their own - as entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers and writers, sexual and social beings. Gessen charts their paths not only against the machinations of the regime that would seek to crush them all (censorship, intimidation, violence) but also against the war it waged on understanding itself, ensuring the unobstructed emergence of the old Soviet order in the form of today's terrifying and seemingly unstoppable mafia state. The Future is History is a powerful and urgent cautionary tale by contemporary Russia's most fearless inquisitor.

Harlow, Jack - Come Home The Kids Miss You CD
KDO: Hudebník z Louisville v Kentucky se rapu věnuje od roku 2011, ale skutečného věhlasu se dočkal až v roce 2020, kdy bouchnul jeho track Whats Poppin. Následovaly další velmi úspěšné singly a albový debut Thats What They All Say, který startoval na pátém místě amerického žebříčku. Výsledkem bylo několik hvězdných kolaborací, z nichž nejvýraznější je spolupráce s Lil Nas X na skladbě Industry Baby (číslo 1 v US hitparádě). Méně se ví, že Jack Harlow působí i v kolektivu Private Garden.
CO: Druhé album rapového génia z Kentucky. Jde o jednu z nejočekávanějších desek roku 2022 na hiphopové scéně. Jack Harlow si do studia pozval hned několik velkých jmen, někteří z hostů už nejsou příliš aktivní a jde tedy o hodně exkluzivní účast (Justin Timberlake, Pharrell, dále Drake a Lil Wayne). Hudebně je kolekce kombinací moderního trapového zvuku a old-school vlivů.

The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective
What is a young lady like Loveday Brooke doing in a private detective agency? She's working there, as a clever sleuth, a female Sherlock Holmes of sorts. Excerpts:"Loveday Brooke, at this period of her career, was a little over thirty years of age, and could be best described in a series of negations."She was not tall, she was not short; she was not dark, she was not fair; she was neither handsome nor ugly. Her features were altogether nondescript; her one noticeable trait was a habit she had, when absorbed in thought, of dropping her eyelids over her eyes till only a line of eyeball showed, and she appeared to be looking out at the world through a slit, instead of through a window. Her dress was invariably black, and was almost Quaker-like in its neat primness."But what one could say affirmatively about her was that Loveday Brooke was a naturally talented private detective, a chosen career that had cut her off sharply from her former associates and her position in society. She demonstrates her skills in these six short stories:The Black Bag Left on a Door-Step,The Murder at Troyte's Hill,The Redhill Sisterhood,A Princess's Vengeance,Drawn Daggers,The Ghost of Fountain Lane,Missing!
