Radicals
'Thoughtful and intelligent' Observer'Inside the anti-political revolt that gave us Brexit and Trump' Evening Standard'Fascinating... Excellent.' Literary ReviewIn the last few years the world has changed in unexpected ways. The power of radical ideas and groups is growing.
What was once considered extreme is now the mainstream. But what is life like on the political fringes? What is the real power of radicals? Radicals is an exploration of the individuals, groups and movements who are rejecting the way we live now, and attempting to find alternatives. In it, Jamie Bartlett, one of the world's leading thinkers on radical politics and technology, takes us inside the strange and exciting worlds of the innovators, disruptors, idealists and extremists who think society is broken, and believe they know how to fix it.
From dawn raids into open mines to the darkest recesses of the internet, Radicals introduces us to some of the most secretive and influential movements today: techno-futurists questing for immortality, far-right groups seeking to close borders, militant environmentalists striving to save the planet's natural reserves by any means possible, libertarian movements founding new countries, autonomous cooperatives in self-sustaining micro-societies, and psychedelic pioneers attempting to heal society with the help of powerful hallucinogens. As well as providing a fascinating glimpse at the people and ideas driving these groups, Radicals also presents a startling argument: radicals are not only the symptoms of a deep unrest within the world today, but might also offer the most plausible models for our future.

What To Expect When Youre Expecting Robots
For however smart your Roomba or Alexa might seem, historically, robots have been fairly dumb. They are only able to do their jobs when given a narrow set of tasks, confined in a controlled environment, and overseen by a human operator. But things are changing. A new breed of robots is in development that will operate largely on their own. They'll drive on roads and sidewalks, ferry deliveries within buildings, stock shelves in stores, and coordinate teams of doctors and nurses. These autonomous systems will find their way into busy, often unpredictable public spaces. They could be truly collaborative, augmenting human work by attending to the parts of tasks we don't do as well, without our having to stop and direct them.
But consider, for a moment, the sorcerer's apprentice. The broom he set to work was also supposed to be collaborative, too, and should have made his life much easier. But the broom didn't know how to behave, and the apprentice no longer understood the thing he had made.
The challenge of this next generation of robots is that, like the apprentice's broom, they will wreak complete havoc, inadvertently hurting or even killing people, unless we can recognize a simple truth: collaborative robots will be the first truly social creatures that technology has created. They will need to know how to behave in unfamiliar spaces and around untrained users and bystanders.
Robot experts Julie Shah and Laura Major are among those engineers leading the development of collaborative robots, and in this book, they will offer their vision for how to make it in the new era of human-robot collaboration. They set out the blueprint for what they call working robots, which in many ways resemble service animals, and take readers through the many fascinating and surprising challenges that both engineers and the public will need to address in figuring out these machines can be responsibly integrated into society: what they will have to look like, how they will have to talk to strangers and what robot etiquette will be, whether we will have to "robot-proof" public spaces and infrastructure, and how the safety-critical work of human-robot collaboration will force a sea change in how the tech industry is regulated.
Today, we still gawk at a car that drives by without a driver. Tomorrow, you might find yourself driving next to five of them. We can debate whether the singularity will ever come, but robots need not be superintelligent in order to revolutionize our relationship to technology. Read this book to find out how.

Po dvoch publikáciách venovaných detskému klientovi prichádza na knižné pulty príbeh Martiny, mladej ženy a matky dvoch malých detí, ktorej panická úzkostná porucha a postupne sa vynárajúca obsedantná obranná línia neumožňovali viesť plnohodnotný a c
itovo bohatý život.
Autorku, klinickú psychologičku a psychoterapeutku, pri práci s Martinou oslovila ľahkosť klientkinho asociatívno-symbolického vyjadrovania vnútorných psychických obsahov, preto sa jadrom terapeutickej liečby stávala katatýmno-ima
ginatívna terapia, ktorá konceptuálne vychádza z tradície európskej hlbinnej psychológie. Pri použití tejto metódy terapeut vyvoláva u uvoľneného klienta, pohodlne sediaceho v kresle, imagináciu, podobnú dennému snu. Za zatvorenými očami sa klientovi
objavujú obrazové scenérie, v ktorých sa môže pohybovať, akoby to bola skutočnosť, preto na mnohé reaguje silným emočným pohnutím. Terapeut klienta sprevádza empatickým vciťovaním, udržiava s ním dialóg a podľa určitých pravidiel denný sen môže ovpl
yvňovať.
Prezentovaná štúdia prináša jedinečný a ucelený pohľad na prácu s imagináciami, ktoré sa postupne dostávali na tie miesta v psychike klientky, ktoré boli dlho neoslovené, ale energizovali nástup úzkostných záchvatov. Imaginácie majú úžasnú m
oc. Vedia symbolickým, veľmi šetrným a dôstojným spôsobom stvárniť problém klienta, odhaliť konflikty v ego organizácii. Dostávajú sa veľmi hlboko, až do zážitkov raného detstva a sprítomňujú aj silné, tzv. zdrojové možnosti klienta. A to všetko sa o
dohráva v dôležitom priestore rozvíjajúceho sa terapeutického vzťahu.
Publikácia prezentuje malú symbolickú drámu premeny éterickej, porcelánovej dievčiny na harmonickú ženu s autentickým popisom liečebného procesu a sprevádzania terapeutom. Martina
, ktorá si dlho tvrdohlavo niesla a chcela udržať dievčenský ego ideál, ho počas terapie opatrne a chvíľami bolestivo ako masku odkladá, aby sa mohla stať autonómnou a emočne bohatou ženou.

Bosch - Bruegel - Rubens - Rembrandt
The Albertina museum in Vienna owns one of the world's most important collections of Dutch drawings from the period 1430-1650. Their unrivaled collection offers a scope and quality that makes it the one of the few museums in a position to present Dutch drawing in all of its thematic, technical and stylistic diversity. Bosch, Bruegel, Rubens, Rembrandt presents over 150 of the best of these works, and includes outstanding individual specimens from the circles around Jan van Eyck, Petrus Christus and Dirk Bouts. Works by Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the Elder form one of the first highlights of this astounding collection. The rest of the sixteenth century is represented by drawings from artists such as Jan Gossaert, Maarten van Heemskerck and Hendrick Goltzius. The focus of the collection, however, is Holland's "Golden Age," the seventeenth century, with important works by Rembrandt van Rijn and his school. The southern Netherlands, once dominated by the House of Hapsburg, is represented by the most famous Flemish masters of the age: Peter Paul Rubens, Anton van Dyck and Jacob Jordaens. Ranging from preparatory drawings for larger works of painting, stained glass, engravings or altars to "autonomous" works that stand alone, this catalogue offers a full spectrum of landscapes, seascapes, topographical views, portraits, rural genre scenes and still lifes.

Matisse
The Fauvist. Brilliant color, simple forms, and purity of expression are the hallmarks of Matisse's work. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is known not only as one of the most important French painters of the 20th century but also as co-founder and leading exponent of Fauvism. His work reflects an ongoing quest for the expressive power of pure, brilliant colors and simple forms; as a result, the realistic presentation of nature often retires to a secondary position. For Matisse, color did not serve as a tool for the expression of subjective feelings, but rather became the equivalent of light itself: it functioned as a pure medium in the creation of an autonomous pictorial space: "Out of my fruitful work with discovered tones there must emerge a vital color harmony, a harmony that is analogous to a musical composition." As a creative artist, Matisse was not only a painter, but also experimented with other materials: he produced glass windows and theatre designs and created significant sculptures in bronze, ceramic and clay. In old age, confined to a wheelchair, he created collages with coloured paper, glue, and scissors: his famed gouache cut-outs. Every book in TASCHEN's "Basic Art Series" features: a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work, covering the cultural and historical importance of the artist; approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions; and a concise biography.

Gasoline
At the height of a society governed by corporate greed and corruption, a fiery apocalypse rains down. Among the few survivors are the Armbusters, a family of orphaned witches. Establishing a utopian commune, they uphold their position of power through the maintenance of their car, the only remaining working automobile. The Armbusters search for precious gasoline pits them against the conniving nihilists who lurk in the decaying urban sprawl, and they learn to adopt new, alternative means of survival to which they had been blind while caught up in a life of materialism. Written and illustrated by the cult artist Dame Darcy, Gasoline is a rollicking, eco-conscious, gothic fairy tale of danger and suspense, heartbreak and redemption, and above all the perseverance of magic and love.

Studies of Homeric Greece
Kniha je přepracovaným a doplněným přehledem archeologie a historie pozdně mykénského a geometrického Řecka a společenství geometrických stylů rané doby železné v Evropě a severní Eurasii, ve vztahu k egyptským a předovýchodním civilizacím: období od 13. do 8. století př. Kr., tzv. axiální době lidských dějin a počátkům přechodu od předfilozofického k filozofickému myšlení, od mýtu k logu.
Kniha obsahuje mnoho mapek a kreslených ilustrací, černobílé a barevné přílohy.
Svazek kombinuje svědectví archeologických pramenů s obrazem světa u Homéra a Hesioda a líčení doby Davidovy a Šalamounovy ve Starém Zákoně, věnuje se počátkům soukromých obchodních výprav fonických a řeckých, předkolonizačních aktivit a rané foinické a řecké kolonizace, době přechodu od systému centrálních pyramidálních struktur říší doby bronzové k řeckému modelu městského státu, řízeného nikoli už božskou autoritou, ale ústavou městské obce, vzniklou jako výsledek dohody jejích svobodných občanů, osobní nezávislé inteligence a jejích schopností, které umožnily mimo jiné i plné ovládnutí sil zvířat.
Vyspělé uměnní jezdecké rozvinuly především národy eurasijské stepi, zatímco rozvoj mořeplavby a obchodu započali Foiničané (mj. objevem hláskového písma, umožňujícího přesný záznam slov), a dále rozvinuli především Řekové a jejich nejbližší sousedé na východě, Lýdové a Kárové; obdobný vývoj proběhl také u starozákonních Hebrejců v první době královské.
The volume brings a kind of companion to the subject of study of archaeology and history of Late Mycenaean to Geometric Greece and of the koine of Early Iron Age Geometric styles in Europe and Upper Eurasia, ca 1300-700 BC, in relation to their Near Eastern neighbours. The age around the so-called axial period of human history, of transition from Bronze to Iron Age, from the prephilosophical to philosophical mind, from mythical level of human thought to logos, is discussed in the frame of combining several approaches into a synthetic picture revisiting the previous books and papers by the author, in an attempt to combine the witness of archaelogical sources with the worlds of Homer and Hesiod, and the first private Phoenician and Greek merchant ventures. It surveys the birth of Greek autonomous city states, of their art and their free citizens. The book contains many maps and drawings illustrating the disussed subjects, black and white and colour photographs.
