Druhá strana dojmov
Kniha Druhá strana dojmov problematizuje časovosť umeleckého diela, vzťah medzi umením a sociálnou realitou či vzťahy teórie umenia k umeleckej praxi. Marcel Proust je v nej predstavený nielen ako originálny spisovateľ, ale aj ako jedinečný estetik a filozof. Autor koncipuje pojmy a kategórie potrebné na koherentnú interpretáciu takého zložitého a roz-poruplného umeleckého jazyka, aký vytvoril Marcel Proust. Skúma prechody medzi sociálnym a kontemplatívnym bytím, ale aj rôzne módy vnímania, ktoré nás Proust necháva zažívať prostredníctvom svojho hrdinu: binárne, kaleidoskopické, teleskopické, mikroskopické, kinematografické vnímanie a nakoniec aj stereoskopické vnímanie, ktoré zabezpečuje rozvinutie reality v čase. Namiesto riešenia tradičných „proustologických“ sporov kniha otvára oveľa všeobecnejšiu diskusiu o povahe kreativity a prenose estetických dojmov. Osou celého textu je však problém autonómie umenia, ktorý autor považuje za kľúč k Proustovej estetike.
The Brandywine Campaign, 1777
The Brandywine River calmly meanders through the Pennsylvania countryside today, but on September 11, 1777, it served as the scenic backdrop for the largest battle of the American Revolution, one that encompassed more troops over more land than any combat fought on American soil until the Civil War. Long overshadowed by the stunning American victory at Saratoga, the complex British campaign that defeated George Washington's colonial army and led to the capture of the capital city of Philadelphia was one of the most important military events of the war. General Sir William Howe launched his campaign in late July 1777, when he loaded his army of 16,500 British and Hessian soldiers aboard a 265-ship armada in New York and set sail. Six difficult weeks later Howe's expedition landed near Elkton, Maryland, and moved north into Pennsylvania. Washington's rebel army harassed Howe's men at several locations including a minor but violent skirmish at Cooch's Bridge in Delaware on September 3. Another week of hit-and-run tactics followed until Howe was within three miles of Chads's Ford on the Brandywine River, behind which Washington had posted his army in strategic blocking positions along a six-mile front. The young colonial capital of Philadelphia was just 25 miles farther east. Obscured by darkness and a heavy morning fog, General Howe initiated his plan of attack at 5:00 a.m. on September 11, pushing against the American center at Chads's Ford with part of his army while the bulk of his command swung around Washington's exposed right flank to deliver his coup de main, destroy the Patriots, and march on Philadelphia. Warned of Howe's flanking attack just in time, American generals turned their divisions to face the threat. The bitter fighting on Birmingham Hill drove the Americans from the field, but their heroic defensive stand saved Washington's army from destruction and proved that the nascent Continental foot soldiers could stand toe-to-toe with their foe. Although further fighting would follow, Philadelphia fell to Howe's legions on the 26th of September.

Portsmouth: A Potted History
Portsmouth is primarily known for its long-term association with the Royal Navy, the naval dockyard at one time the world’s largest employer of a civilian workforce. Yet there is much more to Portsmouth than being home to Britain’s Senior Service. In this book, Portsmouth’s Roman and Saxon origins on Portsea Island are traced leading to its rapid growth from the 12th century onwards as a merchant township specialising in overseas trade. The book describes how its naval and military connections have significantly influenced the way the future city was to develop and also examines how Portsmouth and its people adapted to its long-term conversion into a military-industrial stronghold designed for the defence of the nation, and which suffered severe damage in the Second World War. Alongside, this the growth of modern metropolitan Portsmouth is described, building the services and other industries that make today’s diverse city.Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Portsmouth has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors and all those with links to the city.
Sphinx
What was the Sphinx for, and what is the Sphin? he Sphinx's body is not a lion, but another creature. The head was re-carved, and the Pharaoh's face cannow be identified. There is a burial chamber inserted beneath the waist ofthe Sphinx. 280 years' worth of published accounts of eyewitnesses who saw the chamber, all of them published herein full, prove its existence. It was sealed with cement in 1926. The story of the Middle Kingdom pharaoh who uncoveredthe Sphinx was still being told by the locals in 1482, asrecorded by a Dutch visitor. This is the longest recorded survivalof folklore in world history, a tale which survived with its essentialfacts intact for three thousand years. The Nile in ancient times lapped near the feet of the Sphinx,and the Sphinx was like an island surrounded by waterfilling 'the Sphinx Pit' where it sits now. The photographicevidence of sluices for controlling the inflow of the waterare published. The water erosion is fully explained. Evidence published here proves that the Sphinx is part of aunified design with the three main pyramids of Giza. It was'the guardian' of Giza. The three pyramids and the Sphinxwere all conceived as a single complex. The Sphinx was originally a crouching figure of the doggod Anubis, traditionally the guardian of the dead in ancientEgypt. Every published account of the Sphinx from Roman timesto 1837 is published in the back of the book, most translatedfrom foreign languages. These were collected over manyyears and are now gathered into one place. The Sphinx was part of a sacred resurrection cult basedupon the rising sun at the equinox.
Standing Tall
“What an amazing opportunity! Standing Tall allows us to learn about leadership from a true American hero.” — Mike Krzyzewski, former Head Coach, Duke University and USA Olympic Gold Medal basketball teams. Finalist, 2022 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Awards_x000D__x000D_Robert Foley had only been in Vietnam for six months when he was promoted to captain and given command of a rifle company. In November 1966, Foley led his men on a mission to rescue another company that had been pinned down by Viet Cong forces. His leadership that day inspired his men and led to a successful operation—and the Medal of Honor. His actions in Vietnam were only a small portion of a long and varied career of service in the US Army, but Foley did not always seem marked for success. Coming from a blue-collar suburb of Boston, his years in West Point were marked by poor grades, injuries, and sickness. With a determination to lead by example and inspire trust among others, Foley served across the globe and rose through the ranks. He even returned to West Point as Commandant of Cadets, later retiring as a 3-star general and commander of Fifth Army.

A-Z of the Forest of Dean
With its own traditions and strong sense of identity and independence, the Forest of Dean appears as a separate, almost secret, part of Gloucestershire. Some of its ancient history has only recently come to light, after lying hidden beneath the forest canopy for millennia, but its more recent past also evokes surprise and wonder. Local author David Elder takes the reader on an A-Z tour around the region’s history, uncovering the stories of its buildings, famous (and infamous) sons and daughters, natural features and fascinating old routes and thoroughfares. From its highest point, once known as Yarleton Hill, to the shores of its two vast rivers, we discover hidden places, many mentioned in the Domesday Book, characterful rocks and ancient trees. Alongside freeminers, rebel leaders, trades union rights campaigners, community doctors, composers, poets and pioneering metallurgists we find enterprising members of a family who gave their name to the household brand of a famous malted drink, and a wealthy merchant and, later, Lord Mayor of London immortalised in folklore.A-Z of the Forest of Dean reveals the history behind the area, its towns and villages, industries and the people connected with it. Alongside the famous historical connections, are unusual characters, tucked away places and unique events that are less well-known. It is fully illustrated with photography and will appeal to all those with an interest in this spectacular corner of England.
Shrines, Relics, and Saints
In Shrines, Relics, and Saints,the eminent medievalist André Vauchez explores the evolution of spaces in Christianity – chapels, monasteries, holy wells, grottos, and other holy places – that are considered sacred because they house the relics of a saint or because they preserve the memory of an appearance by a saint, angel, or the Virgin Mary. From famous sanctuaries that still attract multitudes of pilgrims – in Jerusalem, Rome, Tours, Assisi, and Compostela – to local shrines in villages, towns, and wild places across the continent, these sanctuaries were frequented by pilgrims in search of miraculous healings of body and soul. Together, they formed a network comprising new forms of sacredness and spiritual practice. A masterwork in the history of Christianity, Shrines, Relics, and Saints traces pilgrimage routes to major sanctuaries, follows saints' relics as they were transferred from East to West, and examines the Church's ambiguous and sometimes antagonistic relationship to sites of popular worship.

Quirky Bristol
Bristol has been one of England’s largest cities since it became a county in 1373. In the 17th century writers described Bristol as ‘a little London for merchants’ and it held its status as a major port from the Middle Ages. Yet despite its mercantile wealth Bristol has been called paradoxical and down the years the quirks have shone through. Not least is why Bristol was ever successful as a port in the first place. Inland on a river with a dangerous bend, it has a tidal rise and fall that is the second greatest of any in the world, which left ships stranded in mud for several hours of the day. In Quirky Bristol author Cynthia Stiles delves into lesser known but fascinating tales from Bristol’s past. In this book, readers will find stories of ‘diamonds’ and rare plants found in the Avon Gorge, architectural oddities, early medical practices and practitioners in the city, the 19th century craze of pedestrianism, the famous Bristol Milk and Bristol Cream and much, much more.Quirky Bristol celebrates the unusual and often strange history of Bristol and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into Bristol will be of interest to all those who want to know more about the city’s quirky history.
A Theology of Creation
This book provides the first sustained philosophical treatment of Pope Francis's Laudato Si' and articulates a theology of creation to recover our place within the cosmos. In the encyclical Laudato Si', Pope Francis discerns beneath the imminent threat of ecological catastrophe an existential affliction of the human person, who is lost in the cosmos, increasingly alienated from self, others, nature, and God. Pope Francis suggests that one must reimagine humanity's place in the created cosmos. In this ambitious and distinctive contribution to theological aesthetics, Thomas S. Hibbs provides the basis for just such a recovery, working from Laudato Si' to develop a philosophical and theological diagnosis of our ecological dislocation, a narrative account of the sources of the crisis, and a vision of the way forward. Through a critical engagement with the artistic theory of Jacques Maritain, Hibbs shows how certain strains of modern art both capture our alienation and anticipate visions of recovered harmony among persons, nature, and God. In the second half of the book, in an attempt to fulfill Pope Francis's plea for an "aesthetic education" and to apply and test Maritain's theory, Hibbs examines the work of poets and painters. He analyzes the work of poets Robinson Jeffers and William Everson, and considers painters Georges Roualt, a friend to Maritain, and Makoto Fujimura, whose notion of "culture care" overlaps in suggestive ways with Francis's notion of integral ecology. Throughout this tour de force, Hibbs calls for a commitment to an "ecological poetics," a project that responds to the crisis of our times by taking poets and painters as seriously as philosophers and theologians.
Divoká Moruša
Hlboko ľudský a emotívny príbeh troch generácií zo súčasného slovenského vidieka.
Keď Benjamín Hank dorazí do Moruše, má jasno – je to koniec sveta, kde čas zastal a sny dávno vyhasli. Prišiel sem po tri podpisy, aby jeho otec, mocný developer, mohol na mieste starého ranča postaviť luxusný hotel.
Lenže Moruša nie je taká prázdna, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá.
Dve tajomné stareny ho varujú pred miestnymi ženami a „malé dievčatko“ mu cestou nečakane prezradí, že Iris neznáša realiťákov.
Kto sú ženy z Moruše? A čo skrývajú?
Na poslednú chvíľu sa Ben rozhodne zmeniť taktiku. Namiesto rýchleho obchodu zostáva na ranči o čosi dlhšie – netušiac, že tým otvára dvere príbehu, ktorý ho hlboko citovo zasiahne a navždy zmení. Čarovné miesto a jeho obyvateľky si ho nenápadne, no neodvratne podmania a Ben zistí, že nie všetko na svete je na predaj a že existujú ženy, ktoré sa nedajú zlomiť.

It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”— Black Elk, Oglala Sioux Founded on stories and myths told orally, the wisdom of Native American peoples has been passed down through generations, revealing the origins of a tribe, chronicling the heroes who fought the gods, showing how to reach Wakan-Taka(the Great Spirit), exploring the nature of the True Peace and reflecting on the changing landscape with the arrival of European settlers.
