Alberto Giacometti


Themes and motifs across the influential career of the great Swiss sculptor, from Surrealism to the iconic, etiolated figures of the postwar era This catalog for a retrospective of the work of the sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti (1901-66) appraises all of the artist's periods and mediums, from sculpture (plaster, bronze) to painting, drawings and prints, and from early works of the Surrealist period, to his return to figuration, his work from models and the creation of the great postwar sculptures for which he is legendary. Giacometti's oeuvre is divided into 14 sections exploring the themes favored by the artist, such as the representation of the head, the face or the female body. The book is punctuated by seven essays written by leading art historians who address the preoccupations that mark Giacometti's creative process, while also dwelling on his experiences of loneliness and melancholy, and his work with his models--his wife Annette, his brother Diego and his close friends.

Do We Have To Work


Work allows us to pay the bills. The practical and conceptual divide between work and leisure profoundly shapes our lives. Work is where many of us derive our status and our sense of purpose. Work is so much part of our lives and our culture that we have internalized beliefs about its value and have built our economies and lives around those beliefs. This book reviews how the meaning, status and structure of work have changed across history and cultures. Amidst the Covid-19 crisis, the growth of AI and the climate emergency, it questions the need for the 'growth escalator', in which society relies on continuous growth to flourish, and suggests that we should find ways to step off or at least slow down the 'hedonic treadmill', in which we crave ever more goods only to tire of them ever more quickly. This book posits that we are approaching a new era of work. It outlines some of the factors that might lead to change, including the adoption of forms of universal basic income, the growth of the zero- or low-cost economy (renewable energy, user-generated content, community mutual support), and the growth of self-employment and quasi-autonomous ways of working (including from home) in organizations. It concludes that such changes might foster a more fundamental shift: a growing intolerance to the idea of work as a burden and a desire to transform it from something imposed on us into simply the means by which we live our best lives together, recreating in modern conditions with modern resources, a prehistoric unity between being and working.

Life as We Made it


From the very first dog to glowing fish and designer pigs - the human history of remaking nature. Virus-free mosquitoes, resurrected dinosaurs, designer humans - such is the power of the science of tomorrow. But this idea that we have only recently begun to manipulate the natural world is false. We've been meddling with nature since the last ice age. It's just that we're getting better at it - a lot better. Drawing on decades of research, Beth Shapiro reveals the surprisingly long history of human intervention in evolution through hunting, domesticating, polluting, hybridizing, conserving and genetically modifying life on Earth. Looking ahead to the future, she casts aside the scaremongering myths on the dangers of interference, and outlines the true risks and incredible opportunities that new biotechnologies will offer us in the years ahead. Not only do they present us with the chance to improve our own lives, but they increase the likelihood that we will continue to live in a rich and biologically diverse world.

Extraterrestrial


Harvard's top astronomer takes us inside the mind-blowing story of the first interstellar visitor to our solar system In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed a strange object soaring through our inner solar system. Astrophysicist Avi Loeb conclusively showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and leaving no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization. In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes readers inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion, and for the future of our planet. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time, and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges readers to aim for the stars-and to think critically about what's out there, no matter how strange it seems.

Tuberkulóza pľúc Franza Kafku


"Nikdy som nebol chorý na pľúca, no nečakane, asi tak v auguste, som na Občianskej plavárni vypľul čosi červené. Chvíľu som sa na to pozeral, no vzápätí som na to zabudol", píše Franz Kafka v liste Milene Jesenskej. Kto bol Franz Kafka, spisovateľ, ktorý ovplyvnil literatúru 20. storočia? Prečo boli Tatranské Matliare pre neho také dôležité? Prečo musel zomrieť taký mladý? To všetko sa dozviete v knihe autorov, doplnenej medzníkmi života Franza Kafku a mnohými neznámymi fotografiami, ktoré nemajú iba literárne historický pohľad. Táto kniha je rozšíreným vydaním knihy Miroslav Mydlík - Katarína Derzsiová: Tuberkulóza pľúc Franza Kafku; Vplyv choroby na jeho literárnu tvorbu z roku 2017. Jej prvým autorom bol profesor vnútorného lekárstva, ktorý sa pokúsil spojiť medicínu so svetovou literatúrou, ktorej sa intenzívne venoval od študentských čias po celý svoj život. Mal veľký záujem o literárne diela Franza Kafku, o vtedajšie možnosti liečby tuberkulózy pľúc v jednotlivých sanatóriách, cez ktoré nás táto kniha sprevádza. So spoluautorkou osobne navštívil mnohé miesta, kde Franz Kafka býval, o čom svedčí autentická fotodokumentácia. Z literárneho hľadiska sa zameral na vplyv choroby na Kafkovu literárnu tvorbu, ktorý sa postupujúcou chorobou prehlboval. "I've never had any lungs disease, but unexpectedly, on an August day, I spit out something red at the "Civic Swimming Pool". I was looking at it for a while, but then I forgot about it ", wrote Franz Kafka in a letter to Milena Jesenská. Who was Franz Kafka, the writer who influenced 20th century literature? Why was Tatranské Matliare so important to him? Why did he have to die so young? You will learn all of this in the authors' book supplemented by the milestones of Franz Kafka' s life and many hitherto unknown photographs, that are not just of literary-historical significance. This book is an extended edition of the book Miroslav Mydlík - Katarína Derzsiová: Lung Tuberculosis of Franz Kafka; The Impact of the Disease on His Literary Work published in 2017. Its first author was a professor of internal medicine who tried to connect medicine with world literature, which he was intensively interested in from student times throughout his life. He was profoundly interested in the literary works by Franz Kafka, in the contemporaneous possibilities of treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in individual sanatoriums, through which this book accompanies us. Together with the co-author, he personally visited many places where Franz Kafka used to live, as evidenced by authentic photo documentation. From the literary point of view, he focused on the influence of the disease on Kafka's literary work that was deepening with the disease progressing.
