Adam Kašpar
Adam Kašpar (1993) patří k výrazným představitelům nejmladší generace českých malířů. Je absolventem (2018) Akademie výtvarných umění v Praze (Ateliér malířství IV profesora Martina Mainera).
Obecným míněním je považován za realistického malíře, což v jeho pojetí neodkazuje ani tak k samotnému technickému pojetí malby či k její vnějškové podobě jako spíše k vnitřnímu prožitku, k přímému, konkrétnímu, pravdivému, a tedy realistickému pohledu a ztvárňování světa, který jej obklopuje. Sám sebe však považuje především za pozorovatele a jednu ze součástí přírody a malířství je pro něj sice zásadním, avšak stále jen prostředkem k tomu, aby výsledky svého pozorování mohl tlumočit i ostatním.
Tematicky se jeho tvorba pohybuje v prostoru mezi nebem (astronomická pozorování), zemí (lesy, pralesy a krajina) a podzemím (geologické průzkumy). Za svými motivy pravidelně jezdí nejen po českých zemích, ale i do zahraničí (Mongolsko, Bosna, Island, Skotsko...). Příležitostně spolupracuje s přírodovědci, jmenovitě s Českou geologickou službou, NP Šumava nebo Národním muzeem. Jeho domovem i ateliérem jsou Jeseníky.
Monografie představuje tři tvůrčí okruhy Adama Kašpara, zahrnuje jeho geologické, ekologické a astronomické studie. Autory studií jsou Jan Dotřel, Pavel Dvořák, Barbora Kundračíková a Matthew Rampley.
Adam Kašpar (1993) is one of the prominent representatives of the youngest generation of Czech artists. He graduated (2018) from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (Painting Studio IV, led by Martin Mainer).
He is generally regarded as a realist painter, which in his understanding refers neither to the technical conception of painting nor to its external form, but rather to an inner experience, to a direct, concrete, truthful, and therefore realistic view and depiction of the world that surrounds him. However, he considers himself primarily an observer and one of the components of nature, and painting is for him an essential, but nevertheless, a means to communicate the results of his observation to others.
Thematically, his work lies in the space between the sky (astronomical observations), the earth (forests and landscapes) and the underground (geological explorations). He regularly travels not only in the Czech lands but also abroad (Mongolia, Bosnia, Iceland, Scotland...) in search of his motifs. Occasionally, he cooperates with natural scientists, namely with the Czech Geological Survey, NP Šumava or the National Museum. His home and studio are in Jeseníky Mountains.
The monograph presents the three creative areas of Adam Kaspar, including his geological, ecological, and astronomical studies. The authors of the studies are Jan Dotřel, Pavel Dvořák, Barbora Kundračíková and Matthew Rampley.
My Name is Barbra
Barbra Streisand is by any account a living legend, a woman who in a career spanning six decades has excelled in every area of entertainment. She is among the handful of EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) and has one of the greatest and most recognizable voices in popular music. She has been nominated for a Grammy 46 times, and with Yentl she became the first woman to write, produce, direct, and star in a major motion picture.
In My Name Is Barbra, she tells her own story about her life and extraordinary career, from growing up in Brooklyn to her first star-making appearances in New York nightclubs to her breakout performance in Funny Girl (musical and film) to the long string of successes in every medium in the years that followed. The book is, like Barbra herself, frank, funny, opinionated, and charming. She recounts her early struggles to become an actress, eventually turning to singing to earn a living; the recording of some of her acclaimed albums; the years of effort involved in making Yentl; her direction of The Prince of Tides; her friendships with figures ranging from Marlon Brando to Madeleine Albright; her political advocacy; and the fulfillment she's found in her marriage to James Brolin.
No entertainer's memoir has been more anticipated than Barbra Streisand's, and this engrossing and delightful book will be eagerly welcomed by her millions of fans.
Noughts & Crosses
** NOW A MAJOR NEW BBC TV SERIES - this edition contains an exclusive Q&A with lead actor Paterson Joseph**
'The Noughts & Crosses series are still my favourite books of all time and showed me just how amazing story-telling could be' - Stormzy
'Stop it! You're all behaving like animals! Worse than animals - like blankers!'
Sephy is a Cross: dark-skinned and beautiful, she lives a life of privilege and power. But she's lonely, and burns with injustice at the world she sees around her.
Callum is a nought: pale-skinned and poor, he's considered to be less than nothing - a blanker, there to serve Crosses - but he dreams of a better life.
They've been friends since they were children, and they both know that's as far as it can ever go. Noughts and Crosses are fated to be bitter enemies - love is out of the question.
Then - in spite of a world that is fiercely against them - these star-crossed lovers choose each other.
But this is love story that will lead both of them into terrible danger . . . and which will have shocking repercussions for generations to come.
Voted as one of the UK's best-loved books, Malorie Blackman's Noughts & Crosses is a seminal piece of YA fiction; a true modern classic.

Wasteland
'There are stories in all our discarded things: who made them, what they meant to a person before they were thrown away. In the end, it all ends up in the same place – the endless ingenuity of humanity in one filthy, fascinating mass.'
When we throw things ‘away’, what does that actually mean? Where does it go, and who deals with it when it gets there? In Wasteland, award-winning journalist Oliver Franklin-Wallis takes us on an eye-opening journey through the global waste industry. From the mountainous landfills of New Delhi to Britain’s overflowing sewers, from hollowed-out mining towns in the USA to Ghana’s flooded second-hand markets, we meet the people on the frontline of our waste crisis – both those being exploited, and those determined to make a difference. On the way, we discover the corporate greenwashing that started the recycling movement; the dark truth behind our second-hand donations; and come face to face with the 10,000-year legacy of our nuclear waste.
Both shocking and hopeful, Wasteland is the timely and ultimately human story at the heart of an urgent global issue.
Hodina dějepichu
* Měl Hitler skutečně malý penis a pouze jedno varle?
* Bojovali opravdu rytíři o čest svých dam?
* A měly tyhle dámy vůbec nějakou čest?
* A hlavně… kde se jako vzaly kondomy?
*****
Všechny tyto otázky, na které byste se svého učitele dějepisu neodvážili zeptat ani po třetím panáku, vám zodpoví tato kniha od tvůrců stejnojmenného a oceňovaného podcastu. S notnou dávkou potřebného kontextu a ještě větší dávkou vtipů se dozvíte všechno o sexuálním životě nacistických pohlavárů, středověkých králů, papežů, robotů, biblických postav a upírů. Zjistíte, za co jste mohli skončit na hranici, co se naopak tolerovalo ve středověkém Japonsku, jak se plánuje nejhorší dovolená v historii, jestli měli vojáci Wehrmachtu skutečně piko v čokošce a kde se doopravdy vzala Barbie.
*****
Takže se přestaňte vrtět, natáhněte přezůvky a vytáhněte sešity, začíná Hodina dějepichu.
Lacná kniha Spontaneous Sculptures (-70%)
In cities, where does public space stop and privacy begin? Which experiences are purely personal and which ones are driven by commercially motivated impulses? Can we see the city and ourselves for what they actually are amidst the vast array of signs
and images clamoring for our attention? The American artist Brad Downey tackles these and other structural, social, and political questions in his work. With the element of surprise firmly on his side, he creates powerful interventions that disrupt
the routine of our visual perception. A shopping cart becomes a sculpture, a telephone booth is filled with balloons, and a stop sign is turned upside down. Using elements from film, sculpture, painting, and drawing, Downey creates remarkable work ra
nging from the spectacular and headline-making to the small, delicate, and almost hidden. Downey s interventions in the cityscape can be spontaneous, subtle, and fleeting it is precisely the way they interact with their surroundings that make them so
effective. Some exist for barely half an hour before they are corrected again; others integrate themselves into the urban landscape and become a permanent work of art in the process. Downey s art discourages quick glances and celebrates the double t
ake. It encourages the viewer to take a hard look and refreshes the powers of discrimination that so often become jaded in the visual Babylon of our times. For exclusive previews inside and excerpts from this book, go to www.gestalten.com

Nič ma nezlomí
„Toto je príbeh o zrodení hrdinu. Tým hrdinom ste vy.“
Pre Davida Gogginsa bolo detstvo nočnou morou – chudoba, predsudky a fyzické násilie mu vypĺňali dni a strašili ho po nociach. Vďaka sebadisciplíne, psychickej odolnosti a tvrdej práci sa však zmenil z deprimovaného mladého muža s nadváhou a bez budúcnosti na ikonu amerických ozbrojených síl a jedného z najlepších vytrvalostných športovcov na svete. Ako jediný človek v dejinách úspešne absolvoval elitný výcvik špeciálnych jednotiek amerických námorných, vzdušných a pozemných tímov Navy SEALs, ľahkej pechoty Army Rangers aj taktických jednotiek vzdušných síl Air Force Tactical Air Controller, vytvoril rekordy v množstve vytrvalostných súťaží a časopis Outside mu preto dal prezývku najzdatnejší muž Ameriky.
V knihe Nič ma nezlomí rozpráva svoj ohromujúci životný príbeh a odhaľuje, že väčšina z nás využíva približne štyridsať percent svojich schopností. Nazýva to štyridsaťpercentným pravidlom a svojimi skúsenosťami ukazuje cestu, ktorou môže hocikto zvládnuť bolesť, rozdrviť strach a naplno zúročiť svoj potenciál.

My Hero Academia 32
Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world’s greatest hero, but greatness won’t come easy.
What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?
With society wavering on the verge of collapse in the wake of the recent chaos, Midoriya has left his school and friends behind in order to save whatever lives he can out on the streets and lure All For One into the open. But the mastermind villain has his own plans and sends villains for hire after Midoriya, including one familiar face. Chief among these hired guns is Lady Nagant—a fallen former hero who delivers plenty of bang for her buck.
