Alive
A profound and provocative journey through the human body.
For Gabriel Weston, there was always something missing from the anatomy she was taught at medical school. As she became a surgeon, a mother and then a patient herself, she grew increasingly fascinated by the gap between the body she understood as a doctor and the messy reality of living in one.
Alive is a captivating investigation into our organs and the role they play in the stories of our lives. In Weston’s hands, a fuller and more human picture of our bodies emerges – more fragile, frightening and miraculous than we could ever have imagined.
My Heart is This
Tracey Emin talks about painting: what it is, why she does it, why it matters.
Tracey Emin is one of the most widely admired artists working in Britain today. Richly illustrated with photographs of the artist and her art, here is a vivid and intimate portrait of her life and work in her own words, in conversation with art critic Martin Gayford. Emin reflects on painting - how she approaches it, why it matters to her, and how it connects to her life - and how everything has changed since her cancer diagnosis four years ago.
Offering a uniquely personal insight into the artist's extraordinary life and career, Emin expresses herself in her characteristically frank confessional style that is so familiar to anyone who has seen her paintings. This is Tracey Emin on her own terms: on learning to paint, how to live her life after cancer, and relearning why painting matters above everything else.

The Rules That Make Us: How Culture Shapes the Way We Act, Think, Believe and Buy
Oliver Sweet is one of the world's leading business anthropologists. He works with brands like Coke, Ikea, Google and Dyson, as well as local councils and national governments, to reveal the secrets behind our decision making.
Why do we do what we do? We might think it's our unique personality and individual differences that guide our choices, but more often than not, it's actually culture shaping our behaviour. From the ways we bring up children to the products we buy, the culture we live in creates who we are.
In The Rules That Make Us, business anthropologist Oliver Sweet reveals the secrets to successful people-watching and how we can better understand consumers, voters and our relationships.
His decades-long, trailblazing work uses cultural insights to help businesses, governments and NGOs achieve their goals - whether he's working with the Gates Foundation to encourage South African men to get HIV tests, helping a pet food company break into a new market in Brazil, or researching why 'nudge' techniques often backfire.
Drawing on research conducted in thirty-five countries, Sweet maps culture's hidden rules: how they govern our behaviour, create our assumptions, even how they help us predict the future. The Rules that Make Us gives us a model for thinking about culture that reveals a new way of understanding our families, colleagues, customers and ourselves.

He’s made a promise to marry someone else, and Declan only has seven days to win back the love of his life. There’s just one problem: His family is counting on him to pull this wedding off at Barclay Manor. With just one week until vows are exchanged, Declan must decide—stay silent and lose Colin for good, or risk everything and ask the one who got away to promise him forever.

Pavel Tasovský
Monografie Jaroslava Maliny a dalších autorů (mezi nimi herec Boleslav Polívka nebo architekt David Vávra) věnovaná životu a dílu uměleckého kováře, sochaře, kreslíře a fotografa Pavla Tasovského sleduje dráhu umělce od let jeho mladosti. Pavel Tasovský se narodil 22. listopadu 1960 v Brně. Při volbě životní dráhy byl ovlivněn svým otcem, který byl malířem, restaurátorem a vůbec všestranným výtvarníkem. Přirozený talent rozvíjel důkladným řemeslným a uměleckým školením. Pronikal do tajů tradičních kovářských metod a díky své zručnosti a kreativitě se podílel na realizaci významných zakázek pro důležité objekty moravské architektury (například Malovaný dům v Třebíči, hrad Špilberk, Moravské zemské muzeum, poutní kostel ve Křtinách). Záhy se také prosadil svými originálními artefakty na výstavách a kovářských sympoziích Hefaiston. Tyto úspěchy a ohlasy jej v roce 1989 přivedly k založení umělecké kovářské dílny a ateliéru v Náměšti nad Oslavou. V průběhu doby zde vznikla řada znamenitých děl do historických objektů i současné architektury, která krášlí naše i zahraniční lokality (Belgie, Itálie, Německo, Rakousko, Švýcarsko, USA aj.). Ateliér se stal také školicím pracovištěm pro adepty uměleckého kovářství a sochařství, z nichž se mnozí stali významnými představiteli oboru. Přitom se stále intenzivněji a úspěšněji věnoval volné tvorbě, kterou prezentoval na uměleckých sympoziích, výstavách a stážích u nás a v zahraničí.
Jako osobnost uznávaná a respektovaná předními českými i zahraničními uměleckými kováři i historiky a kritiky umění, se podílí na organizaci uměleckého a společenského života. Od roku 2003 pořádá společně s kastelánem náměšťského zámku Markem Bušem výstavy Setkání v zámku, zámeckém parku a v Galerii 12, kterou vede "jeho Charis", manželka Ludmila Tasovská.
Volnou tvorbu Pavla Tasovského charakterizuje invence při volbě témat (mytologických, antropomorfních, zoomorfních...), originalita jejich ztvárnění a dokonalé zpracování užitých materiálů (corten, nerez, ocel, roxor a další tvárné kovy, kámen, sklo). Od počátku dává průchod svému laskavě humornému pohledu na svět. Jeho artefakty a monumenty, ztvárňované až s dadaistickou hravostí a groteskností, jsou prosyceny hlubokou imaginací a bezbřehou, téměř surrealistickou fantazií. V proudu času se však stále více oprošťoval od kultivovaných ladných linií virtuózně opracovaných materiálů a směřoval k zjednodušení formy a využití přirozenosti materiálu, až archetypálního vyznění. Neznamená to však, že by autor na svůj původní styl rezignoval, i v současné době volí ten z přístupů, který si daný námět vyžaduje. Tvorbě v konečném materiálu předchází brilantní přípravná kresba, obvykle v tužkové skice. K jeho emblematickým tématům patří "zvěrokruh"; ztvárnil jej v několika cyklech, jež v roce 2023 vyvrcholily monumentálním souborem, který je jako "naučná cesta" instalován v Náměšti nad Oslavou. Tasovského dílo se vyznačuje vyzrálou řemeslnou zručností a nespoutanou uměleckou kreativitou; to ho řadí mezi nejvýznamnější představitele oboru uměleckého kovářství a sochařství v kovu ve světovém měřítku.
Putování
V současnosti přišlo do módy poutnictví. Zdá se, že mnozí lidé touží po dlouhodobějším putování. Jak si ale tuto touhu vyložit? Po čem ve skutečnosti touží ti, kdo si berou na pár dní volno, aby mohli být v přírodě? Je to jednak touha vystoupit z běžného života. Vyskočit z každodenního kolotoče a na chvilku se věnovat něčemu zcela odlišnému, jen tak si jít a nemuset odvádět výkon.
Dalším důvodem oné touhy je návrat k prostému životu. Na túru si nemůžeme zabalit do batohu mnoho věcí. Musíme se vědomě omezit, aby zavazadlo nebylo příliš těžké. A pojednou nám dojde, jak málo toho k životu potřebujeme.
Toužíme také zakusit přírodu. Putujeme jí a vnímáme její kouzlo. Za chůze se kocháme krásou krajiny. Ale také zakoušíme vedro, když slunce pálí, jindy zase prudký liják a silný vítr, které nám putování stěžují. Přibližujeme se přírodě a uvědomujeme si, že jsme její součástí. Příroda neposuzuje, dovoluje nám být, jací jsme. Na poutnické cestě se setkáváme se sebou samými. Směřujeme k osvobození od každodenních starostí a problémů. A navíc jsme v té době „offline“, jsme nedostupní, zato jsme plně přítomni v daném okamžiku. Jak tak jdeme, uvědomujeme si sebe samé, setkáváme se se sebou, přicházíme k sobě.
