Forests in Our World


A place we long to be in, a provider of lumber helping us safeguard the climate, a responsibility we fear we are not living up to: today, forests command attention like few other topics. But how are our forests really faring? How many trees does the Amazon actually have? Why do the woods need wolves? Why does fire not spell destruction for many forests? Is it true that trees are not aggressive? And what makes a forest a forest in the first place? Forests in Our World offers answers to these and many other questions. Gunther Willinger takes readers on a fascinating journey through Earth's five forest formations- from the coniferous forests of the far north to the rainforests of the tropics-and explains both the complex relationship between the forest, the climate, and the environment, and what humans must do to preserve these marvels. Forests are the green lungs of the world, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. They filter our air, provide drinking water, and help stabilize our climate. They also vary greatly by region, providing a home to a rich diversity of animal, plant, and tree species around the globe. Wherever you find a forest, it's sure to be a place of beauty, stillness, freshness, and replenishment. Today, more and more people are discovering the forest as a space in which to recharge their batteries but at the same time, more and more forest areas are being damaged or destroyed by human activity. Global deforestation is not a doom-laden future hypothesis, but a reality. Every year, forest areas the size of Austria are lost to the cultivation of crops, livestock, and the expansion of cities and infrastructure. This book is a tribute to and exploration of forests at a time when we urgently need to understand and protect them. It explores different forest types and their development according to local climate and soil conditions. It takes us deep into the Amazonian rain forest and looks at why this area is both particularly precious and highly vulnerable to damage. It maps the largest contiguous forest areas and examines why a mixed forest is more resilient than a monoculture. A rich source of information for all those concerned with the natural world, climate change, and environmental protection, this illustrated book is also a beautiful immersion in the arboreal refuges of our planet. From the vibrancy of the tropics and subtropics to the mythical deciduous forests of Europe and the vast boreal coniferous breadth that stretches over the northern hemisphere, this is a vital journey through the precious green ecosystems around the globe. Illustrated with images from the renowned Nature Picture Library as well as from the author's own archive, this book will open your eyes to the fascinating world of forests in a whole new way.

Filozofie nové hudby


Základní spis, který reflektuje novou hudbu z několika různých hledisek kromě hudebních aspektů je zohledněn její filozofický, sociologický a estetický kontext. Kniha je rozdělena na dvě části a je doplněna rozsáhlejší introdukcí. První část se zabývá dílem Arnolda Schönberga (od volné atonality k dvanáctitónové technice), druhá je věnována Igoru Stravinskému (ruské folklorní období a neoklasicismus). Dle Adornových slov vede objektivní zhodnocení filozofie nové hudby přes srovnání těchto dvou rozdílných komponistů. Myšlenky, které jsou obsaženy v tomto spisu, jsou v mnohém stále aktuální. Autor se detailně zabývá otázkou společenského postavení nové hudby a konstatuje její značnou izolovanost. Nová hudba je chápana jako jakési osamocené svědectvím o stavu společnosti, společnost o něj však nestojí uvedený stav de facto přetrvává dodnes.

Tolkien's The Hobbit, and includes dozens of brand-new paintings and pencil drawings exploring the world of Bilbo Baggins.

Tolkien's Middle-earth. In this sumptuous, large-format hardback Alan Lee reveals in pictures and in words how he created these images, which would prove so powerful, matching perfectly with Tolkien's own vision, that they would eventually define the look of Peter Jackson's film adaptations and earn Alan a coveted Academy Award.

Magnum Streetwise


Ambitious in scope, democratic in nature, Magnum Streetwise is an unmissable tour through the photographs and practices that have helped define what street photography is and can be. Magnum photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson pioneered 'modern' concepts of street photography before the term was even coined. But their influence is far from historic. A rich seam of street photography runs through the heart of Magnum to this day, both in the work of recognized masters of street photography - such as Erwitt, Parr, Gilden and Kalvar - and of those who might not even consider themselves street photographers; a continued influence that has not gone unnoticed among the current generation of budding street photographers and fans. Magnum Streetwise is a true visual feast, interleaving insightful texts and anecdotes within an intuitive blend of photographer- and theme-based portfolios, exploring not only the work of outstanding photographers, but how common subject matter (places of leisure, marketplaces, travel) and locations (Paris, New York, Tokyo) have been addressed, conceptually and practically, across the agency and through the ages. Magnum Streetwise is an essential addition to the bibliography of street photography, showcasing hidden gems alongside many of the genre's most famous images.
