Lodyhy v řádcích
Rubriku nazvanou Zahrada nabídl Týdeník Echo svým čtenářům poprvé v čísle 24/2021. Jejím výlučným tvůrcem zůstává od počátku Ondřej Fous, muž, jenž dovede zahradnickou profesi popularizovat, avšak současně ji na vysoké úrovni vykonává. Jako svůj milovaný životní úděl. Autorský výbor přináší texty rozlišené do pěti tematických oddílů (Parky, Pereny, Přespolní, Sad, Stromy), které si čtenáři Echa v průběhu času ani nemuseli uvědomovat, a přece, jak patrno, sám pisatel se přistihl, kterak v těchto kategoriích od začátku systematicky pracoval. Články vychází v podobě prakticky shodné s časopiseckou verzí, pouze jejich pořadí je zde dáno rubrikami spíše než termínem vydání.
Úvahy, postřehy, zážitky a rady zkušeného zahradníka Ondřeje Fouse vycházejí na stránkách Týdeníku Echo v rubrice zvané Zahrada, záběr však mají mnohem širší: týkají se také sadů, parků, luk či lesů, přinášejí i reportáže z velkých evropských květinových výstav, všímají si péče o městskou zeleň a zamýšlejí se nad vztahem člověka k přírodě v 21. století.

Glazed Ceramics of the Islamic World 700–1600 CE
Of all the material culture of the Islamic World prior to the sixteenth century, only ceramics survive in a way which forms a continuous representative visual history. As such, ceramics provide a unique collection of material from which to study the history of technology. The main technological developments associated with glazed Islamic ceramics were the introduction of tin-opacified glazes, stonepaste bodies, and an extended range of colorants. For each of these developments, consideration is given to the reasons why new technologies were introduced, from where the ideas for the new technologies originated, and why particular technological choices were made. In addition, brief consideration is given both to the very different glaze technologies employed in contemporary China, and to the subsequent spread of the glazed Islamic technology into Western Europe.

The Art of Winning
‘Coach Belichick brought out the best in me. His book will do the same for you.’—Tom Brady • ‘This book shares the valuable lessons about excellence and leadership that Coach Belichick has learned.’ —Michael Jordan • ‘Powerful, insightful, and remarkably personal, The Art of Winning is a playbook for life.’ —Admiral William H. McRaven, US Navy (Retired) •''Invaluable for anyone trying to succeed in any aspect of life. I urge you to read this book''• ‘A remarkable deep dive into the mind of a champion.’ —Nick Saban Winning isn’t a science. It’s an art. And it can be learned.No one embodies winning more than Bill Belichick, the greatest American football coach of all time. Over the past fifty years, Belichick has been a man of notoriously few words, believing that a coach should keep a low profile. After he left the Patriots in 2024, he briefly became a coach without a team. He spent that year writing down the principles he learned from his father, Navy football, and from his forty-nine-year coaching career.Belichick’s philosophy goes far beyond football. He presents a whole-year, whole-life, whole-mindset approach to greatness that encompasses preparation, motivation, confidence, and leadership. The principles in this book are adaptable to wherever you work. No matter where you are on the ladder, they will help you think like a leader in anticipation of being one.Drawing on decades of studying the greats of the game, handling colorful personalities and egos, and playing for the highest stakes in sports, Belichick shares memorable examples and practical takeaways from his lived experience. Winning is not about being perfect—it’s about growth. And you will improve only as much as you recognize where you’re weak. Belichick owns up to mistakes like deciding to go for it on 4th and 10 in the 2008 Super Bowl. Then he breaks down how to learn from your mistakes like a leader does—an approach that sustained him throughout his early-career challenges and ultimately brought him to the top of the sport.Belichick’s principles might surprise you at times. At other times, they might seem strangely obvious. (His rule for how to win football games? Score the most points.) Football is about strategy, human nature, and business. Your vision of success might involve breaking into a new, competitive market in your industry; seeing solid returns on a portfolio that you’ve carefully prepared; inspiring your students to earn the highest scores in the district; or raising up trainees to take over your job someday. Whatever the situation, your performance is up to you.Practical, authoritative, and bursting with unforgettable inside stories, The Art of Winning is an indispensable guide to success from the greatest coach in NFL history.

In Search of National Ancestors
This Element examines how international heritage discourses are internalized and reshaped in China, using the Yellow Emperor cults as a lens to explore broader themes of intangible heritage, religious resurgence, and identity construction. The central argument is that cultural heritage serves as a powerful tool for shaping new religious expressions and enabling Chinese localities to assert their uniqueness while redefining historical narratives. Through case studies of several localities across China, this research illustrates how these regions engage in heritage competition by branding themselves with Yellow Emperor culture to shape their identities. This study argues that the cult of the Yellow Emperor-a legendary figure-is empowered by nationalism, a local search for tradition and religious revivals, and is further amplified by international discourses that reinforce national identity through heritage-making. Together, these forces drive the resurgence of ancestral cults and contribute to cultural identity formation in contemporary China.
Infinite Life
Every animal on the planet owes its existence to one crucial piece of evolutionary engineering: the egg. It’s time to tell a new story of life on Earth. ‘Jules Howard’s egg’s-eye view of evolution is dripping with fascinating insights’ ALICE ROBERTS‘So much passion and poetic prose' BBC Radio 4, Inside Science If you think of an egg, what do you see in your mind’s eye? A chicken egg, hard-boiled? A slimy mass of frogspawn? Perhaps you see a human egg cell, prepared on a microscope slide in a laboratory? Or the majestic marble-blue eggs of the blackbird? Every egg there has ever been, is an emblem of survival. Yet the evolution of the animal egg is the dramatic subplot missing in many accounts of how life on Earth came to be. Quite simply, without this universal biological phenomenon, animals as we know them, including us, could not have evolved and flourished. In Infinite Life, zoology correspondent Jules Howard takes the reader on a mind-bending journey from the churning coastlines of the Cambrian Period and Carboniferous coal forests, where insects were stirring, to the end of the age of dinosaurs when live-birthing mammals began their modern rise to power. Eggs would evolve from out of the sea; be set by animals into soils, sands, canyons and mudflats; be dropped in nests wrapped in silk; hung in stick nests in trees, covered in crystallised shells or secured by placentas. Whether belonging to birds, insects, mammals or millipedes, animal eggs are objects that have been shaped by their ecology, forged by mass extinctions and honed by natural selection to near-perfection. Finally, the epic story of their role in the tapestry of life can be told. ‘In a book that brilliantly evokes past eras, Howard provides a new perspective on the history of life on Earth.’ The Mail on Sunday
The Cuckoo Calls the Year
After working as a botanist and natural historian for more than 25 years, walking the countryside had almost imperceptibly turned into a disheartening endeavour for Pete Stroh. He found himself resting at viewpoints and contemplating how much better it would be if a pasture had not been drenched with herbicide, if a woodland had not been planted up with regimented lines of conifer crops, if an arable field could every so often not be ploughed right up to the bloody roots of the hedgerow…So he decided that in writing this book, he would wander within the boundaries of the parish where he lives, record weekly what he actually saw, and restrict grumblings to a minimum, to observe rather than judge. This, he writes, took a bit of getting used to but proved ultimately to be a liberating and unexpected experience. The result is this uplifting and positive book showing the surprising abundance of nature, given half a chance.
