Lacná kniha DION CHRYSOSTOMOS-O VYTV.UMENI (-70%)
Kniha seznamuje s dílem a životem Dióna Chrysostoma (Zlatoústého). Dión byl představitelem tzv. „druhé (či nové) sofistiky“, hnutí nájemných rétorů, učitelů a potulných filosofů, kteří se pokoušeli v kulturně politickém prostoru Římské říše oživit formální postupy attické rétoriky klasické doby. Text je srozumitelným a obohaceným překladem původního pramenu. Analyzuje Diónovu řeč na pozadí antických teorií rétorické „techné“, přičemž se zaměřuje na její uspořádání „dispositio“ a způsob argumentace „inventio“, vědomě pomíjí aspekt stylistický. Nechybí zasvěcená interpretace z hlediska obecně kulturního, filosofického a teologického.

I Am More Than My Body
'Some days I love my body, some days I hate my body, but every day I respect my body.'
What does it really feel like when you respect your body? For many of us, a neutral approach to our physical self, based on compassion and acceptance, requires a revolutionary shift in how we think about ourselves.
I Am More Than My Body will help you strengthen your relationship with yourself and find balance, steering you away from shame without the pressure of having to love your body at all times. It will introduce a framework to help you practice neutral movement, recognise and arm yourself against bias, act with self-compassion, and navigate your feelings on this journey.
A long-time practitioner of the body-neutral approach, Bethany C. Meyers shares their own story together with the experiences and ideas of experts and activists to help us care for our bodies while not having them dictate our worth.
What Your Food Ate
We know that our diet influences our health. But is there more to the adage "you are what you eat?" Connecting the dots from agriculture to medicine, geologist David R. Montgomery and biologist Anne Bikle argue we overlook the other half of a healthy diet: how we grow our food.
Journeying from research labs to the fields of regenerative farmers, they uncover scientific and historical evidence for how farming practices-so often disruptive to microbial partnerships-influence soil health and shape the types and amounts of health-promoting minerals, fats and phytochemicals in our crops, meat and dairy-and thus ourselves. Understanding these connections has profound implications for what we eat and how we grow it, now and in the future. A capstone work from lauded authors, What Your Food Ate is a story both sobering and inspiring: what's good for the soil is good for us, too.
The History of Western Art (EN)
What is art? Why do we value images of saints, kings, goddesses, battles, landscapes or cities from eras of history utterly remote from ourselves? This history of art shows how painters, sculptors and architects have expressed the belief systems of their age: religious, political and aesthetic. From the ancient civilisations of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece, to the revolutionary years of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the artist has acted as a mirror to the ideals and conflicts of the human mind.

Transformer
For decades, biology has been dominated by information - the power of genes. Yet there is no difference in information content between a living cell and one that died a moment ago. A better question goes back to the formative years of biology: what processes animate cells and set them apart from lifeless matter?
In Transformer, Nick Lane turns the standard view upside down, capturing an extraordinary scientific renaissance that is hiding in plain sight. At its core is an amazing cycle of reactions that uses energy to transform inorganic molecules into the building blocks of life - and the reverse. To understand this cycle is to fathom the deep coherence of the living world. It connects the origin of life with the devastation of cancer, the first photosynthetic bacteria with our own mitochondria, sulphurous sludges with the emergence of consciousness, and the trivial differences between ourselves with the large-scale history of our planet.
My Angel?!
Raphaela Klen does not believe but knows that God does exist. After the death of her husband and his lover the opinions about her are varied. The neighbourhood considers her a mysterious creature, who is different from the others. Impenetrable.
Do angels live on the planet Earth in physical body? And if they do, what do they do here? Peter Horn is struggling with answering this question in the most difficult four months of his life, in which he can lose everything: family, love, life. But maybe it is the struggle itself that is a problem. There are questions that cannot be answered only if we can step over the limits of the laws of the mind and the physical world. This is a long road but it is hit, if we notice the signs that we placed ourselves in order to finally arrive at our long forgotten home.
This is a magical story which asks questions from ourselves, confronts us, reprimands, teaches and helps us while taking us by the hand leading us through the murky maze of the intertwined domains of the physical and spiritual worlds into the unique world of the wonderful indigo children. Yet it is all about us. It is about our meetings and separations, our quests, our happy moments, our pains and our braveness.

QBQ
No one can successfully achieve goals and new objectives, provide outstanding service, engage in exceptional teamwork, make change in their community or lead other people without personal accountability.
After decades of working with organisations and individuals, John G. Miller knows that the troubles that plague them cannot be solved by pointing fingers and blaming others. Rather, the real solutions are found when each of us recognizes the value of our own accountability. In this book, Miller explains how negative, ill-focused questions like "Who dropped the ball?" harm rather than help. Conversely, when we begin to ask better questions - QBQs, questions behind the questions - and to see power in ourselves, then our lives and organisations are transformed.
Succinct, insightful and practical, this book provides the tools for putting personal accountability into daily action, with astonishing results.
Hello Human: A History of Visual Communication
A kaleidoscopic journey tracing the methods and means of visual communication from the cave paintings of the earliest humans to the 'photograph' of a black hole in deep space.
Since the beginning of our time as humans, we have never stopped making images and inventing channels for visual communication. From the cave dweller creating paintings on a wall at the dawn of civilized time to Instagram influencers today, technology may keep changing, but our need to reach one another, to move one another, to persuade, inform and entertain, has never been so vital.
Hello Human traverses the entire landscape of our diverse, expansive and yet familiar means of visual communication. From the use of the human hand as a symbol, the power and use of gestures and the genesis of the printed book, to the movement between dimensions of reality and the digital realm, pixilation, optics and the understanding of light, Horsham takes his readers on a journey full of unexpected twists and turns, laying out a temporal narrative in the form of an intricate map of objects, events and people tied together by a common purpose - to communicate.

Unlearning Silence
Having a seat at the table doesn't mean that your voice gets heard. Knowing something is wrong doesn't make it easy to speak up. But this silencing - intentional or not - has profound consequences on our work and life. It blocks talent, skews decisions and causes teams and individuals to fail. So what if there was another way?
Drawing on her experience as a lecturer at Harvard Law School and as a Managing Partner at one of the world's leading leadership development companies, Elaine Lin Hering delves into the roots of silence, examining the patterns that keep us trapped, and showcases the impact that rewiring unconscious behaviours can have on innovation, creativity and collaboration.
From the boardroom to the classroom, from personal relationships to wider communities, Hering shows us how we can have more authentic conversations, foster inclusive spaces and amplify all voices. Because only by unlearning silence can we fully unleash talent, speak our minds, and be more complete versions of ourselves... and help other people do the same.
The Friend of Life is Joy
Another volume from the Books of Happiness trilogy, this book is filled with quotes on happiness itself. Through these sayings, one may reach the understanding that life lived in happiness is the most beautiful way to live it, and also that our every experience is created through perceiving happiness and emotion and through relating these to ourselves and our lives. Step by step, our dreams become true in the happiness of our life. We use happiness to express the essence of living a beautiful and harmonic life and to live through everything that happens with emotion and gentleness.

Kdy je obraz a co je umění. Metastruktura obrazivosti
Publikace se snaží nastolit „pragmatický“ přístup k výtvarnému umění a tvorbě obrazů. Ty zde nejsou představovány primárně jako estetický objekt, jímž se jeví na úrovní osobního chápání, ale jsou s mnoha důkazy zkoumány jako významný a ničím jiným nezastupitelný sociální proces, nezbytný k vynalézání a testování nových obrazových znaků, potřebných pro zvládnutí nových sociálních kontextů. Takto založený koncept obrazu, výtvarného umění, jeho teorie a dějin, včetně jeho pedagogiky, zde představuje tuto oblast jako ucelený systém s jistou funkcionalitou a směřováním, mnohdy v protikladu k mínění, že nic takového v umění hledat nelze, neboť nejcennější na něm je jeho nezaměřenost a jeho svoboda, usilování o nezávislost jeho existence a maximalizace jeho estetického účinku, které v kantovské tradici jakýkoli další účel vylučují. V tomto kontextu však už nestačí učit se pouze užívání (kritice) těchto vizuálních znaků jako takových, ale je třeba porozumět celému procesu, v němž znaky vznikají a jsou socializovány. Při tomto zkoumání se postupně vyjevují některé souvislosti, vázané na rehabilitaci pojmu struktura v pojetí Jana Mukařovského - strukturní představa o vývoji umění a o jeho funkčním, pragmatickém začleňování do aktivního fungování society; představa o obraze, o zobrazení jako postupně se vyvíjející struktuře vizuálních znaků (což znamená také ovšem i navyšující se množství jejich vzájemných vztahů!), funkčně směřující skrze individuálně podmíněné jedinečné vnímání a poznávání k sociální kooperaci a koordinaci. Klíčová slova: výtvarné umění, obraz, struktura, interaktivita, sociální kooperace a koordinace.
The publication aims to introduce a “pragmatic” approach to visual arts and the creation of images. It presents images not primarily as aesthetic objects, which they seem to be through subjective perception; instead, it uses a body of evidence to examine images as a significant social process that cannot be substituted by anything else and that is essential for the inventing and testing of new visual signs required to deal with new social contexts. This concept of image, visual art and its theory, history and pedagogy is used here to represent the entire area as a coherent system with a certain functionality and orientation; in some parts this concept contradicts the opinion that nothing of that sort can be sought in art because the most valuable aspect of art is its absence of focus, its freedom and striving for an independent existence and for a maximisation of its aesthetic effect, which, in line with the Kantian tradition, rules out any other purpose. In this context, however, it is no longer enough only to learn how to use (or criticise) these visual signs as such; it is necessary to understand the entire process in which these signs are created and socialized. This examination process gradually reveals certain connections related to the restoration of the term “structure” as it was understood by Jan Mukařovský: a structural idea of the development of art and its functional, pragmatic integration into the active functioning of the society; an idea of image, or depiction, as a gradually evolving structure of visual signs (which also implies, of course, an increasing amount of their mutual relations!), functionally striving, through individually conditioned unique perception and cognition, for social cooperation and coordination. Keywords: visual art, image, structure, interaction, social cooperation and coordination.
Jiri Hauschka
Jiří Hauschka (narozen 1965 v Šumperku) se obrací k tomu typu malířství, pro které jsou důležité barvy a symbolické konotace, tak jak tomu bylo na přelomu 19. a 20. století v tomto období se Jiří Hauschka vztahuje zejména ke kanadskému malíři Tomovi Thomsonovi, který žil v letech 1877 až 1917 či jak se děje v ateliérech soudobých autorů, jako jsou kupříkladu Daniel Richter nebo Peter Doig. Realita se proměňuje v malířské naraci na vrstevnaté vyprávění, kde se mísí umělecká paměť s novými zážitky, pohledy, touhami, citovými zjitřeními. V případě Jiřího Hauschky se ocitáme v divočině, v divočině malířské nostalgie, kde hledáme člověka, a v urbánní civilizaci, v té civilizaci, která je na pokraji svých možností a kde tak cítíme a vidíme barvy divočiny.
Autory textů jsou Martin Dostál a slovutný britský kunsthistorik Edward Lucie-Smith.
Jiří Hauschka (born 1965 in Šumperk) turns to this type of painting method that utilizes colours and symbolic connotations, prevalent at the turn of the 20th century he positions himself in that period next to the Canadian painter Tom Thomson (18771917) and used by contemporary painters such as Daniel Richter or Peter Doig. Reality is transformed by the painters narration into layered storytelling, where the artists memory is interspersed with new experiences, views, desires and emotional turbulences. In the case of Jiri Hauschka, we find ourselves in the wilderness of painter nostalgia, where we look for the conceptual person, and in urban civilization, which has barely any options left and where we can therefore feel and see the colours of wilderness.
The authors of the texts are Martin Dostál and the famous British art historian Edward Lucie-Smith.
