Arc of Utopia


Although Lenin and his fellow revolutionaries never called themselves Utopians—believing strictly in a science of revolution, they considered Utopians to be merely dreamers—they were enormously inspired by the grand humanitarian aims of the French Revolution of 1789. Taking up this French revolutionary agenda and reinforcing it with German philosophy, Russians formed a beautiful vision in which an imaginary theology blended with a premier role for art. Arc of Utopia offers a fresh look at these German philosophical origins of the Russian Revolution. In the book, Lesley Chamberlain explains how influential German philosophers like Kant, Schiller, and Hegel were dazzled by contemporary events in Paris, and how this led a century later to an explosion of art and philosophy in the Russian streets, with a long-repressed people reinventing liberty, equality, and fraternity in their own cultural image. Chamberlain examines how some of the greatest Russian names of the nineteenth-century—from Alexander Herzen to Mikhail Bakunin, Ivan Turgenev to Fyodor Dostoevsky—defined their visions for Russia in relationship to their views on German enthusiasm for revolutionary France. With the centenary of the Russian Revolution approaching, Arc of Utopia is an important and timely revisioning of this tumultuous moment in history.

Etruscans


The Etruscans were a powerful and influential civilization in ancient Italy. But despite their prominence, they are often misrepresented as mysterious - a strange, unknowable people whose language and culture have largely vanished. Lucy Shipley's new history of the Etruscans presents a different picture: of a people who traded with Greece and shaped the development of Rome, who inspired Renaissance artists and Romantic firebrands and whose influence is still felt strongly in the modern world. Covering colonialism and conquest, misogyny and mystique, Etruscan history is woven with the very latest archaeological evidence to provide a unique perspective on this enigmatic culture, revealing how much we now know, and how much still remains undiscovered. The book explores Etruscan culture through a series of stories that also reveal the biases and prejudices of the present day. It describes the journey of Etruscan objects from the point of their creation through the story of their use, loss, rediscovery and reinvention. From the wrappings of an Egyptian mummy displayed in a fashionable salon to the extra-curricular activities of a member of the Bonaparte family, it takes us on an extraordinary voyage through Etruscan archaeology that leads to surprising and intriguing places.

Gypsy Music


Gypsies have for centuries been simultaneously vilified and romanticized—associated with criminality and dirt, but at the same time with color, magic, and music. Gypsy music is popular around the world and often performed with gusto at major events, including at weddings in Bulgaria, jazz bars in Paris, and festivals in the United States. In Gypsy Music, Alan Ashton-Smith explores why this music has such wide appeal, surveying the varied styles that are considered to be gypsy music and asking what links them together. The book begins in the Balkans, home to the world’s largest Romani populations and a major site of gypsy music production. But just as the traditionally nomadic Roma have traveled globally, so has their music. Gypsy music styles have roots and associations outside of the Balkans, including Russian Romani guitar music, flamenco and gypsy jazz, and the more recent forms of gypsy punk and Balkan beats. Covering the thirteenth century to the present day, and with a geographical scope that ranges from rural Romania to New York by way of Budapest, Moscow, and Andalusia, Gypsy Music reveals the remarkable diversity of this exuberant art form.

Planet Hunters


Astronomers are on the verge of answering one of our most profound questions: are we alone in the universe? The ability to detect life in remote solar systems is at last within sight, and its discovery—even if only in microbial form—would revolutionize our self-image. Planet Hunters is the rollicking tale of the search for extraterrestrial life and the history of an academic discipline. Astronomer Lucas Ellerbroek takes readers on a fantastic voyage through space, time, history, and even to the future as he describes the field of exoplanet research, from the early ideas of sixteenth-century heretic Giordano Bruno to the discovery of the first exoplanet in 1995 to the invention of the Kepler Space Telescope. We join him on his travels as he meets with leading scientists in the field, including Michel Mayor, who discovered the first exoplanet, and Bill Borucki, principal investigator for NASA’s Kepler mission. Taken together, the experiences, passion, and perseverance of the scientists featured here make the book an exciting and compelling read. Presenting cutting-edge research in a dynamic and accessible way, Planet Hunters is a refreshing look into a field where new discoveries come every week and paradigms shift every year.

Třebel 1647


Kniha „Třebel 1647. A Battlefield of the Thirty Years’ War from the Perspective of History, Archeology, Art-history, Geoinformatics, and Ethnology” pojednává o střetnutí švédské a habsburské armády, která se odehrála pod hradem Třebelí v západních Čechách mezi 18. srpnem a 5. zářím, v roce 1647. Krajina bojiště se od poloviny 17. století dodnes téměř nezměnila. Na bojišti je dochováno 7 reliktů polních opevnění. Terénní výzkum bojiště probíhal s přestávkami od roku 1988 do roku 2017. Kniha je 2. upraveným vydáním knihy archeologa a historika Václava Matouška “Třebel. Obraz krajiny s bitvou”, kterou v roce 2006 vydalo nakladatelství Academia. Celý náklad prvého vydání je již zcela rozebrán. Druhým vydáním vyšel autor vstříc jak domácím, tak zahraničním zájemcům o terénní výzkum bojišť třicetileté války v Českých zemích. Aktuální anglické vydání shrnuje výsledky terénního studia a zařazuje bitvu do širších společenských, politických a vojenských souvislostí závěru třicetileté války. Velká pozornost je také věnována důkladné analýze dvou rytin bitvy publikovaných poprvé ve Frankfurtu nad Mohanem nakladatelstvím Matthäuse Meriana poprvé v roce 1652, v 6. svazku publicistického díla Theatrum Europaeum. Zvláštní kapitola shrnuje výsledky experimentální stavby kopie jedno z císařských polních opevnění. Kniha má obsáhlý český závěr. The book “Třebel 1647. A Battlefield of the Thirty Years’ War from the Perspective of History, Archeology, Art-history, Geoinformatics, and Ethnology” deals with a military clash between the Swedish and Habsburg Armies that took place under Třebel Castle in Western Bohemia from August 18th to September 5th, 1647. Since the 17th century, the landscape of the battlefield has remained almost completely unchanged. Seven remnants of field fortifications remain intact on the former battlefield. Field research of this battlefield took place, with several breaks, from 1988 to 2017. The book is the second modified publication of archeologist and historian Václav Matoušek’s book “Třebel. Image of a Landscape with Battlefield”, published by Academia Publishing House. All issues of the first publication were sold out. Therefore, the author reacted to Czech and international readers’ interest in the field research of the battlefields of the Thirty Years’ War in the Czech lands by printing a second publication. The current English language publication summarizes the results of field study and incorporates the battle into broader social, political, and military contexts of the end of the Thirty Years’ War. Much attention is also paid to the thorough analysis of two engravings of the battle first published in Frankfurt by the Matthäus Merian Publishing House in 1652 in the 6th volume of the publishing work Theatrum Europaeum. A special chapter is devoted to summarizing the results of the experimental construction of a replica of one of the Imperial Army’s field fortifications. The book also contains a comprehensive Czech conclusion.

Wicked Deep


Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic meets the Salem Witch trials in this haunting story about three sisters on a quest for revenge - and how love may be the only thing powerful enough to stop them. Welcome to the cursed town of Sparrow… Two centuries ago, in the small, isolated town, three sisters were sentenced to death for witchery. Stones were tied to their ankles and they were drowned in the deep waters surrounding the town. Now, for a brief time each summer, the sisters return from the depths, stealing the bodies of three weak-hearted girls so that they may seek their revenge, luring boys into the harbor and pulling them down to their watery deaths. Like many locals, seventeen-year-old Penny Talbot has accepted the fate of the town. But this year, on the eve of the sisters’ return, a boy named Bo Carter arrives; unaware of the danger he has just stumbled into or the fact that his arrival will change everything...

And death comes swiftly to those who cannot resist the call of the sisters. But only Penny sees what others cannot. And she will be forced to choose: save Bo, or save herself.
