The Seven Minute Screenplay
The Seven Minute Screenplay is both a grammar of fundamental dramatic principles and a primer on the process of screenwriting. The manual is intended to prepare students for writing full-length feature films through the structured exercise of writing a screenplay for a seven-minute film. Guidelines for the exercise are detailed and an approach to creating the short form is outlined, with each step in the process explained. The steps include character exploration, finding a problem that would force character development, imagining the struggle, pitching the story, preparing the treatment, writing the first draft, and rewriting for character, plot, visual iconography and sensitivity to the active participation of the viewer. Written largely by the screenwriter Pavel Jech (now former Dean of FAMU), the text reflects the many years of his experience in teaching the short form to students. The co-author is a FAMU acting teacher Mary Angiolillo. The Seven Minute Screenplay hopes the beginning screenwriter will appropriate the fundamentals offered in this manual and make them their own, developing a set of skills to be used for making their own unique films.
Publikace The Seven Minute Screenplay je jak gramatika základních principů dramatiky, tak slabikář pro psaní scénáře. Skriptum si klade za cíl připravit studenty na psaní celovečerních filmů pomocí strukturovaného psaní scénáře pro sedmiminutový film. Obsah cvičení je přesně vymezen, každý pracovní krok při tvorbě scénáře pro krátké filmové dílo je detailně rozveden. Mezi tvůrčí kroky patří definování postavy, vymezení problému, který podnítí její vývoj, nalezení dramatického konfliktu, rozpracování příběhu, psaní první verze a rozepsání postavy, děje a vizuální stránky s přihlédnutím k předpokládaným diváckým reakcím. Text vznikl na základě mnohaletých zkušeností scenáristy Pavla Jecha (bývalého děkana FAMU) s vyučováním o krátkých filmových formách ve spolupráci s pedagožkou FAMU Mary Angiolillo. Publikace The Seven Minute Screenplay by měla začínajícím scenáristům pomoci osvojit si základy oboru a rozšířit jejich osobní dovednosti, aby byli schopni vytvořit svůj osobitý film.

Epidemics and Society - From the Black Death to the Present
The World Economic Forum #1 book to read for context on the coronavirus outbreak
This sweeping exploration of the impact of epidemic diseases looks at how mass infectious outbreaks have shaped society, from the Black Death to today, and in a new preface addresses the global threat of COVID-19. In a clear and accessible style, Frank M. Snowden reveals the ways that diseases have not only influenced medical science and public health, but also transformed the arts, religion, intellectual history, and warfare.
A multidisciplinary and comparative investigation of the medical and social history of the major epidemics, this volume touches on themes such as the evolution of medical therapy, plague literature, poverty, the environment, and mass hysteria. In addition to providing historical perspective on diseases such as smallpox, cholera, and tuberculosis, Snowden examines the fallout from recent epidemics such as HIV/AIDS, SARS, and Ebola and the question of the world's preparedness for the next generation of diseases.

Superheavy : Making and Breaking the Periodic Table
Creating an element is no easy feat. It's the equivalent of firing six trillion bullets a second at a needle in a haystack, hoping the bullet and needle somehow fuse together, then catching it in less than a thousandth of a second - after which it's gone forever. Welcome to the world of the superheavy elements: a realm where scientists use giant machines and spend years trying to make a single atom of mysterious artefacts that have never existed on Earth.
From the first elements past uranium and their role in the atomic bomb to the latest discoveries stretching our chemical world, Superheavy will reveal the hidden stories lurking at the edges of the periodic table. Why did the US Air Force fly planes into mushroom clouds? Who won the transfermium wars? How did an earthquake help give Japan its first element? And what happened when Superman almost spilled nuclear secrets?
In a globe-trotting adventure that stretches from the United States to Russia, Sweden to Australia, Superheavy is your guide to the amazing science filling in the missing pieces of the periodic table. By the end you'll not only marvel at how nuclear science has changed our lives - you'll wonder where it's going to take us in the future.

The Beauty of Ukraine
On 24 February 2022, the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops began. Since then, Russia's war of aggression has continued with increasing ferocity and destruction. Millions of Ukrainians have fled to neighbouring European countries. Ukraine is now a country caught between two stools: on the one hand, it is striving for rapprochement with NATO and the EU; on the other hand, good relations with Russia have also always been of fundamental importance to the country. This is a picture book about a landscape and its country, which is going through dark times and is currently moving the whole world. Here we take a look at the beauty and the integrity of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian landscape is characterised by steppes, plateaus, lowlands and mountains. The Lemurian Lake in the south of Ukraine impresses with its pink colour, as it has a higher salt content than the Dead Sea. The mountain ranges of the Carpathians in the west of Ukraine captivate with their wonderful wild beauty. The Ukrainian steppe is part of the great Eurasian steppe, which runs through several countries of Eastern Europe and used to be the home of the Cossacks. The country is also criss-crossed by numerous river courses, with the Dnieper, Donets and Dniester rivers, which flow into the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, being among the most significant.
Unparalleled scale, out-of-this-world colours and unique landscape shots from above make this book a tribute to the beauty of the Ukrainian landscape.

The Life of William F. Cody - Buffalo Bill (EN)

Cody-Buffalo Bill-as told by himself, make up a narrative which reads more like romance than reality, and which in many respects will prove a valuable contribution to the records of our Western frontier history. While no literary excellence is claimed for the narrative, it has the greater merit of being truthful, and is verified in such a manner that no one can doubt its veracity.
