The Window of My Studio Okno mého ateliéru
Cyklus vychází v dotisku poprvé ve společné jednosvazkové anglicko-české verzi. Vznikal od druhé světové války do první poloviny padesátých let a měl pro Sudka základní význam: změnil nejen jeho fotografickou techniku, ale též neobyčejně zduchovněl jeho tvorbu a přinesl mu světovou proslulost. Bez nadsázky lze říci, že cyklus Okno mého ateliéru dnes patří k největším hodnotám světové fotografie. Knihu úvodní studií opatřila historička fotografie Anna Fárová. Svazkem Okno mého ateliéru zahájilo nakladatelství Torst vydávání knižní řady fotografických cyklů Josefa Sudka, která postupně zahrnuje všechny jeho známé fotografické celky, z nichž dosud byly publikovány pouze ukázky: portréty, reklamní fotografie, zátiší, Labyrinty, snímky Svatovítské katedrály, fotografie pralesa v Mionší a další.

The Penguin Book of Spiritual Verse
This rich and surprising anthology is a holistic, global survey of a lyric conversation about the divine, one which has been ongoing for millennia. Beginning with the earliest attributable author in all of human literature, the twenty-third century BCE Sumerian High Priestess Enheduanna, and taking in a constellation of voices - from King David to Lao Tzu, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to the Malian Epic of Sundiata - this selection presents a number of canonical figures like Blake, Dickinson and Tagore, alongside lesser-anthologized, diverse poets going up to the present day. Together they show the breathtaking multiplicity of ways humanity has responded to the spiritual, across place and time.

Steal Like an Artist 10th Anniversary Gift Edition with a New Afterword by the Author
Celebrate the 10th anniversary of a groundbreaking book on creativity with this limited anniversary hardcover, with a new afterword, color endpapers pulled from Austin Kleon's sketchbooks, and a ribbon marker.
Ten years after its initial publication, the message of Steal Like an Artist remains powerful: embrace influence, follow interests wherever they take us, forget old clichés like writing about what you know--instead, write the book that you want to read, make the movie you want to watch. And above all, find the space you need to be wild and daring in your imagination and your work.
This 10th anniversary edition includes a new afterword by the author, discussing the book's influence and how "stealing" has been misunderstood, and offering a unique, personal perspective on a book that's touched so many.
Unlock your creativitySteal like an artist.Don't wait until you know who you are to get started.Write the book you want to read.Use your hands.Side projects and hobbies are important.The secret: Do good work and share it with people.Geography is no longer our master.Be nice. (The world is a small town.)Be boring. (It's the only way to get work done.)Creativity is subtraction.
Sensemaking: The Power of the Humanities in the Age of the Algorithm
Humans have become subservient to algorithms. Every day brings a new Moneyball fix - a maths whiz who will crack open an industry with clean fact-based analysis rather than human intuition and experience. As a result, we have stopped thinking. Machines do it for us.
Christian Madsbjerg argues that our fixation with data often masks stunning deficiencies, and the risks for humankind are enormous. Blind devotion to number crunching imperils our businesses, our educations, our governments, and our life savings. Too many companies have lost touch with the humanity of their customers, while marginalising workers with arts-based skills.
Contrary to popular thinking, Madsbjerg shows how many of today's biggest success stories stem not from 'quant' thinking but from deep, nuanced engagement with culture, language, and history. He calls his method sensemaking.
In this landmark book, Madsbjerg lays out five principles for how business leaders, entrepreneurs, and individuals can use it to solve their thorniest problems. He profiles companies using sensemaking to connect with new customers, and takes readers inside the work process of sensemaking 'connoisseurs' like investor George Soros, architect Bjarke Ingels, and others.
Both practical and philosophical, Sensemaking is a powerful rejoinder to corporate groupthink and an indispensable resource for leaders and innovators who want to stand out from the pack.

His famous poem "The Raven", published in 1845, presents us with a speaking bird and numerous mythological references. Edgar Allan Poe's poetry is known for its dark romanticism, gothic tones and anti-heroes.

Karolína Plíšková
Když se Karolína Plíšková stala 17. července 2017 světovou tenisovou jedničkou, byla vůbec první Češkou v historii od zavedení klasifikace v roce 1975 a celkově dvacátou třetí hráčkou, která se na tenisový Olymp vyšplhala.
Musela přijít vytáhlá, hubená a potetovaná ranařka z Loun, aby světu ukázala, že malá země uprostřed Evropy má už dlouho skvělý ženský (a nejen ženský) tenis, jehož reprezentantky jsou výjimečně porazitelné v týmovém Fed Cupu, který získaly v letech 2011-2015 hned pětkrát. Karolína se mimořádného úspěchu dočkala jedenadvacet let od prvního okamžiku, kdy ve čtyřech letech vzala tenisovou raketu poprvé do ruky. Post nejlepší světové hráčky si nadělila ke svým pětadvacátým narozeninám, Kája, jak jí říkají, totiž umí poctivě a systematicky na své hře pracovat.
"Jsou dny, kdy si říkám, že zrovna dneska musím na trénink. Někdy bych ho prostě zrušila, ale to má asi každý. Vím, že tenis je pro mě nejlepší řešení. Nemám povahu jít si sednout na deset hodin do kanceláře. Potom bych doopravdy litovala. Takhle dělám, co mě baví. I když mě to občas štve a nechce se mi."
Její životní příběh neprovázejí převratné změny, veletoče, exhibice ani extempore. Karolína postupovala na žebříčku pomalu, obezřetně, v podstatě potichu, padala zpět a příště už zase byla o krůček výš, nevzdávala se, nebrala prohry jako tragédie, ale jako nezbytnou součást tenisového a sportovního života vůbec, nenechala se vykolejit přílišnými očekáváními tenisové veřejnosti i odborníků, šla si za svým cílem - vyhrávat další a další turnaje, zocelovat se na nich, nabírat body a směřovat k tenisovému nebi.
Nešlo jí o peníze, nešlo jí o to za každou cenu porazit protihráčku, ani tu nejlepší, aby se blýskla v médiích. Naopak, popularitu snášela a snáší jako nutné zlo, nejraději má stanout na kurtu před zápasem, to ji nabíjí daleko víc než tréninky, přípravy a strategie. S penězi zacházela a zachází velmi rozumně, sláva a bohatství ji nezměnily, zůstala tou normální holkou z Loun, která stojí pevně na zemi, protože ví, že úspěch ve sportu s nezbytnou dávkou kondice a zdraví je vrtkavá múza, která svou přízeň může znenadání upřít na někoho jiného, a už se nevrátit.
Zatím ji má tato dáma ale celkem ráda, protože v jejích pětadvaceti jí dopřála na okruhu WTA devět vítězných turnajů ve dvouhře, jedno grandslamové finále na US Open 2016 a pět triumfů ve čtyřhře. Krásná bilance stále mladé hráčky. A další velká vítězství a úspěchy se dají vzhledem ke značnému potenciálu tenistky v blízké budoucnosti očekávat.
Karolína kráčí po velké cestě.
