The Lost Country, Episode Four
First came the time-storm, which erased half the population. Then came the Dinosaur Apocalypse …
How did it all begin? Well, that depends on where you were and who you ask. In some places it started with the weather—which quickly became unstable and began behaving in impossible ways. In still others it started with the lights in the sky, which shifted and pulsed and could not be explained. Elsewhere it started with the disappearances: one here, a few there, but increasing in occurrence until fully three quarters of the population had vanished. Either way, there is one thing on which everyone agrees—it didn't take long for the prehistoric flora and fauna to start showing up (often appearing right where someone was standing, in which case the two were fused, spliced, amalgamated). It didn't take long for the great Time-displacement called the Flashback—which was brief but had aftershocks, like an earthquake—to change the face of the earth. Nor for the stories, some long and others short, some from before the maelstrom (and resulting societal collapse) and others after, to be recorded.
Welcome to the Lost Country.
From "The Devil's Triangle":
There were six of them, as I said—all of whom rushed us the instant our feet touched the ground. All of whom snarled and charged us like wolverines as we raised our weapons and fired—the flare gun cracking and hissing, blanching the scarlet haze (for the sun had painted everything red and gold), its projectile punching through one of the raptors’ chests and lighting it up so that its ribs were backlit briefly and I could see, if only for an instant, its burning, beating heart.
Yet still they came, another one leaping at me even as I dropped the gun—which clattered against the planks—as I dropped it and grabbed the thing by its neck—then brought the knife down with my other hand and stabbed it between the eyes.
“Run!” I shouted, even as Amanda shot another—her second—and then bolted toward the shore, drawing the others so that I was able to snatch up the flare gun and quickly reload it; so that I was able to pursue them and to shoot one in the back—while Amanda turned and took out the last of them (shooting it in the head so that the back of its skull exploded like a spaghetti dinner thrown against the wall; so that it collapsed, writhing, about 10 feet in front of her—whereupon she quickly approached it and shot it again, just to be sure).
And then she looked at me (as the dead and dying animals lay all around us) and I looked back: our chests heaving; our faces covered in sweat, our worn clothes bloody and disheveled, and I knew that she knew—which was that today we were the predators, the thing needing to be feared—the killers. And that neither of us needed to worry; not about food or other predators or mysterious lights in the sky or anything. Because we were the masters of our fate, we and no one else, not even God. And we were the master of the world’s fate, too.
At which she ran to me and we collided and I held her fast, there on the long jetty in the Atlantic Ocean (in the Bermuda Triangle), there beneath a day moon and the blood-red sky, in an instant in which it was good, so very good, not to be afraid, not to be alone. And as to what may or may not have happened in those breaths, those pulse points between that moment and the next—the next day, the next search, the next milestone; as to that, I offer only a quote from Gandhi: “Speak only if it improves upon the silence.”

Streets, The - The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light LP
„The Streets“ je anglický hudobný projekt, ktorý vedie spevák a multiinštrumentalista Mike Skinner. Projekt bol založený na začiatku 90. rokov, keď bol Skinner ešte tínedžer; žiadna hudba však formálne nevznikla až do začiatku 21. storočia. V počiatočnej fáze projektu The Streets vydal projekt päť štúdiových albumov: Original Pirate Material (2002), .A Grand Don't Come for Free (2004), The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (2006), Everything Is Borrowed ( 2008) a Computers and blues (2011). V tomto období The Streets vydali aj sériu úspešných singlov, ktoré sa dostali do Top 40 britského singlového rebríčka – vrátane „Has It Come to This?“, „Fit but You Know It“, „Dry Your Eyes“ (tzv. jediný singel číslo jedna), "When You Was't Famous" a "Prangin' Out". Po rozpustení The Streets v roku 2011 sa Skinner venoval niekoľkým ďalším hudobným projektom, než nakoniec v roku 2017 obnovil The Streets. V roku 2020 bol vydaný nový mixtape None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive. Šiesty štúdiový album The Streets "The Darker The Shadow the Brighter the Light" vychádza po 13. rokoch v októbri 2023.

Slow Productivity : The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout
From the New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work, a groundbreaking philosophy for pursuing meaningful accomplishment while avoiding overload.
Our current definition of “productivity” is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We’re overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices?
Long before the arrival of pinging inboxes and clogged schedules, history’s most creative and impactful philosophers, scientists, artists, and writers mastered the art of producing valuable work with staying power. In this timely and provocative book, Cal Newport harnesses the wisdom of these traditional knowledge workers to radically transform our modern jobs. Drawing from deep research on the habits and mindsets of a varied cast of storied thinkers – from Galileo and Isaac Newton, to Jane Austen and Georgia O’Keefe – Newport lays out the key principles of “slow productivity,” a more sustainable alternative to the aimless overwhelm that defines our current moment. Combining cultural criticism with systematic pragmatism, Newport deconstructs the absurdities inherent in standard notions of productivity, and then provides step-by-step advice for cultivating a slower, more humane alternative.
From the aggressive rethinking of workload management, to introducing seasonal variation, to shifting your performance toward long-term quality, Slow Productivity provides a roadmap for escaping overload and arriving instead at a more timeless approach to pursuing meaningful accomplishment. The world of work is due for a new revolution. Slow productivity is exactly what we need.
On This Modern Highway, Lost in the Jungle
In 1926, the communist avant-garde poet Konstantin Biebl (18981951) travelled from Czechoslovakia to the Dutch East Indies. In his texts, poetic and often comic, both landlocked Bohemia and the colonized tropical islands are seen disorientingly anew, like mirrors looking at themselves in each other. On This Modern Highway, Lost in the Jungle takes the reader on a journey crisscrossing the poets life and work, with particular attention to his travel writing and his dreams and memories of travel, as they mirror the book authors own life experience as a Czech scholar of Indonesia living in island Southeast Asia. Biebls poetry and travels are also the books point of departure for a broader exploration of the intersections of travel and poetry, the attitudes to colonial/social injustice, and the representation of otherness in Czech literary and visual imagination, beyond Biebls times. In its attention to how poetic travel reflects the Czech historical experience in the shadow of imperial nations, the book moves scholarly reflection on literary travel, modernity, and colonialism to a new ground.
Jan Mrázek grew up in Czechoslovakia and lives on an island in the Malay Archipelago. He is Associate Professor in Southeast Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore and has published widely on Indonesia, seafaring, and Czech travel writing.

Beatles, The - The Blue Album 1967 - 1970 (2023 Edition) 3LP
The Beatles bola anglická rocková skupina založená v Liverpoole v roku 1960 v zložení John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr. Sú považovaní za najvplyvnejšiu skupinu všetkých čias a boli neoddeliteľnou súčasťou rozvoja kontrakultúry 60. rokov a uznania populárnej hudby ako umeleckej formy. Ich zvuk má korene v skiffle, beate a rock'n'rolle 50. rokov a inovatívnym spôsobom zahŕňa prvky klasickej hudby a tradičného popu. Skupina tiež skúmala hudobné štýly od ľudovej a indickej hudby po psychedéliu a hard rock. Ako priekopníci v nahrávaní, písaní piesní a umeleckej prezentácii spôsobili Beatles revolúciu v mnohých aspektoch hudobného priemyslu a boli často propagovaní ako vodcovia mládežníckych a sociokultúrnych hnutí tej doby. The Beatles sú najpredávanejším hudobným počinom všetkých čias s odhadovaným predajom 600 miliónov kusov po celom svete. Sú najúspešnejším počinom v histórii americkej hitparády Billboard, držia rekord v počte albumov na prvom mieste v UK Albums Chart (15), najviac hitov na prvom mieste v americkom rebríčku Billboard Hot 100 (20 ) a najviac singlov sa predalo v Spojenom kráľovstve (21,9 milióna). Skupina získala mnoho ocenení vrátane siedmich cien Grammy, štyroch cien Brit Awards, Oscara (za najlepšiu pôvodnú skladbu pre dokumentárny film Let It Be z roku 1970) a pätnástich cien Ivora Novella. V roku 1988 ich uviedli do Rock'n'rollovej siene slávy a každý hlavný člen bol uvedený individuálne v rokoch 1994 až 2015. V rokoch 2004 a 2011 sa skupina dostala na prvé miesto rebríčka najväčších umelcov v histórii Rolling Stone. Časopis Time ich zaradil medzi 100 najdôležitejších ľudí 20. storočia.
Táto nová kompilácia predstavuje generáciám fanúšikov neuveriteľnú históriu najslávnejšej kapely v hudbe. K svojmu 50. výročiu bola zbierka rozšírená o 9 ďalších skladieb pridaných chronologicky, vrátane „Blackbird“, „Glass Onion“ a novej piesne „Now And Then“. The Last Beatles Song, „Now And Then“ dopĺňa demo nahrávku Johna Lennona vokálu a klavíra zo 70. rokov s časťami, ktoré hrali Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr, ako aj s novým aranžmánom pre sláčiky. Kolekcia 3LP teraz obsahuje 37 skladieb, z ktorých 6 má nové mixy pre rok 2023. 9 novo pridaných skladieb setu je zhromaždených na treťom vinyle. Vložka obsahuje nové poznámky novinára a autora Johna Harrisa. Pre súčasných fanúšikov aj budúce generácie je nová kolekcia 1966 – 1970 radostnou oslavou nadčasového hudobného odkazu The Beatles.

Tajomstvo - The Secret
Fragmenty Veľkého tajomstva sa po stáročia vynárali v ústnej tradícii, v literatúre a v náboženských či filozofických dielach. Po prvý raz sa všetky zlomky Tajomstva spojili v neuveriteľnom odhalení, ktoré zmení život toho, kto ho zažije na vlastnej koži. V tejto knihe sa naučíte, ako Tajomstvo používať v každej oblasti života – nech sú to peniaze, zdravie, vzťahy či šťastie – a v každej interakcii so svetom. Začnete rozumieť sile, ktorá sa vo vás skrýva, a tento objav vnesie do vášho života radosť. Tajomstvo obsahuje múdrosť dnešných učiteľov, mužov a žien, ktorí ho použili pri budovaní zdravia, bohatstva a šťastia. Kniha prináša ich pôsobivé príbehy o tom, ako im poznanie Tajomstva pomohlo zbaviť sa chorôb, získať bohatstvo, prekonať prekážky a dosiahnuť veci, ktoré by mnohí považovali
za nemožné.
Vo svojich rukách držíte
Veľké tajomstvo…
Prahli po ňom mnohí. Po stáročia ho podávali ďalej, ukrývali, strácali, kradli a kupovali za obrovské sumy peňazí. Dávnym Tajomstvom sa dali viesť mnohé významné osobnosti našich dejín: Platón, Galileo, Beethoven, Edison, Carnegie, Einstein... a vynálezcovia, teológovia, vedci a slávni myslitelia. Teraz je Tajomstvo odhalené celému svetu.
„Ako sa budete prehrýzať knihou a oboznamovať s Tajomstvom, dozviete sa, ako sa môžete stať, čím len chcete a dostať či robiť všetko, po čom zatúžite. Dozviete sa, kto naozaj ste. A zistíte, aká veľkoleposť vás v živote čaká.“

Umění jako symbol a dekorace
Tato kniha poprvé v české odborné literatuře soustavně pojednává sochařskou i malířskou výzdobu reprezentačních staveb Prahy. Ukazuje, že socha i malba byla tradičně uznávaným partnerem architektury a že bohatství výzdoby staveb rostlo s rozvojem stylů vrcholného a pozdního historismu i se secesí. Bez figurální výzdoby se neobešla ani pozdější reprezentační architektura: Znázorňovala publiku společenské postavení a ideje jejích budovatelů i jmenovité poslání staveb.
Kniha se zaměřuje na stavby veřejné v širokém slova smyslu. O koncipování reprezentační architektury rozhodovali její objednavatelé a příslušné výsledky byly ovlivněny mimo jiné vzájemným soubojem architektů i dekoratérů, veřejnou diskusí a regulací výstavby ze strany magistrátu města. K bohatství umělecky dekorovaných staveb přispěly existence historicky samostatných měst Prahy i mohutný rozvoj jejích předměstí.
První, nejobsáhlejší část knihy je uspořádána podle poslání staveb a sleduje, jak jejich sochařská i malířská výzdoba napomáhá sdělovat jejich poselství. Druhá část se soustředí na pražská sídla finančních ústavů, které obohatily ikonografii figurální výzdoby o některé motivy, své budovy pojímaly zvláště reprezentačně a svým působením stály za celkovým rozvojem tehdejší pražské architektury.
Třetí část knihy shrnuje poznatky o strategii a programech figurální výzdoby reprezentační architektury. Týká se zejména hlavních prvků figurální výzdoby - typických míst jejího uplatnění i bohatství zobrazovaných motivů.
Závěrečná část pojednává umělecké dekorace z hlediska jejich autorů. Nabízí přehled vůdčích sochařů i malířů a zdůrazňuje podíl architektů na konceptu figurální výzdoby.

The Lost Planet of Enki
This book penetrates the ancient UFO evidence that has successfully been collected and tied to the Sumerian tablets of Mesopotamia and the ancestral bloodline of Jesus Christ. The author believes that modern unidentified flying objects, the story of creation of the Book of Genesis, the life of Jesus, and the ancient off-earth aliens of time gone are not only related but that they must be the same phenomenon. Namely, the same quasi-eternal space humans interacting with Earth during different periods of its history.
The hypothesis of a real-life galactic empire, realistically dressed with the idea of ‘a Force’ and dominating this region of the Milky Way is introduced. The humans of Earth are in for a real shock when it becomes clear that we might eventually become members of a rebel alliance. Four galactic human species are recognized from Earth’s own records!
You are about to uncover the author’s 37-year research on the obscure origin, the current psychological condition, and the expected detrimental destiny of the humans of Earth.
But there is a dark side: If this book’s recommendations are largely ignored, the author predicts World War III by the year 2017. The Lost Planet of Enki derives from Bonilla’s Chronicles of Moon Earth, a special collection of alternative non-fiction titles dealing with the ancient Anunnaki (as never before portraited), Earth’s geo-biological evolution, and the author’s relentless attacks on the dangers of religious separatism.

Na konci cesty - Krematórium v Bratislave - At the End of the Road The Bratislava Crematorium
Kniha sa podrobne zaoberá mimoriadnym architektonickým dielom - bratislavským krematóriom. Postavili ho pred pol storočím (1968) za neobyčajne priaznivej súhry okolností, no predchádzal tomu dlhý zápas o jeho zriadenie, ktorého počiatky siahajú až do roku 1889. Preto kniha približuje aj históriu moderného kremačného hnutia v Európe so zreteľom na dlhý zápas mesta Bratislava o krematórium, ďalej sa zaoberá domácimi a zahraničnými architektonickými podnetmi, ktoré ovplyvnili architektúru objektu. Okrem príbehu samotnej budovy a urnového hája, v ktorom stojí, sa dočítate o tvorivej dráhe autora budovy, architekta Ferdinanda Milučkého, príslušníka prvej povojnovej slovenskej architektonickej generácie, ale aj súvislostiach vzniku pozoruhodných výtvarných diel z areálu krematória - sôch od troch špičkových slovenských výtvarníkov. Text Matúša Dullu v slovenčine a angličtine sprevádzajú umelecké fotografie Olje Triašky Stefanović. Snímky citlivo zachytávajú premeny krematória a prostredia, v ktorom sa nachádza, počas jednotlivých ročných období. Publikácia vychádza pri príležitosti päťdesiateho výročia vzniku prvého slovenského krematória.
