And Now, Back to You
Weather boy meets weather girl. One big storm is heading their way . . .
Jackson Clark likes life neat, predictable, and preferably viewed from the comfort of his radio booth.
Delilah Stewart prefers hers wild, spontaneous, and preferably in the eye of the storm, out in the field.
For years, the two have clashed like thunder and lightning - until they're partnered against their will to cover the snowstorm of the century, finding themselves scrambling to figure out how to work together.
Eager to be taken seriously as a journalist, Delilah offers Jackson a deal. If he can help her ace this assignment, she'll help him rediscover his long-lost fun side. With an undiscovered chemistry burning beneath their clashes, the unlikely partnership quickly tumbles into an easy and surprising friendship.
But when other feelings start to enter the equation, can Jackson and Delilah withstand the storm? Or does what happens in the mountains, stay in the mountains?
Two competing meteorologists are forced to find common ground in this opposites attract, When Harry Met Sally-inspired romance, from New York Times bestselling author B.K. Borison.
In Praise of Slow
Almost everyone complains about the hectic pace of modern life. Our culture preaches that faster is better - yet all this rushing takes a toll.
Carl Honoré uncovers a global movement that challenges the cult of speed by proving that slowing down can help us lead richer, more productive lives. The Slow movement is not about doing everything at a snail's pace: it is about striking a balance between fast and slow in order to thrive in a world of chronic impatience and instant gratification.
A seminal book, In Praise of Slow is as relevant today as it was when it was first published.
There has never been a better time to embrace the surprising power of slow.

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.

Into the Hush
LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD A PEN / JEAN STEIN BOOK AWARD FINALIST'Wise, beguiling... a treasure and a beacon of a poet, whose indispensable body of work offers no less than a way to navigate this world' Sarah HoweA new collection and first UK publication from the Poet Laureate of the United StatesArthur Sze has long been renowned for his constellation of vision and generous imagination – able to hold the aspen leaf and the mountain range, the water droplet and the crashing surf in the same stunning poetic field. Turning his attention to habitat destruction, language extinction, mortality and so much more, Into the Hush sketches a world slipping into silence, asking what we lose to it, what emerges, and what can be held in its aperture. Sze draws together a startling array of imagery in these quietly forceful poems that render our complex universe with profound simplicity and clarity. Sze’s lyric voice – which at times inhabits the body of a jaguar and even an eraser – moves between chaos and stillness with supple agility, challenging our notions of traditional poetic forms such as the haibun, zuihitsu, sonnet and pantoum to break open new avenues of expression that speak to our fragmented world. Attuned to the underlying network that connects all things, Into the Hush charts a thrilling journey from silence into sound, from emptiness into the rich possibilities of existence.

She finds her life taking an unexpected turn when a relic from her past presents her with a 400-year-old manuscript to decipher, pulling her into a vortex of danger that threatens to shatter her world.
