Days of Healing, Days of Joy

Children of alcoholic or addicted parents may be stripped of hope, courage, and self-esteem. The dysfunctional family is fueled by shame and chaos, stunting children's relationships and self-acceptance. Adult children of alcoholics and addicts need encouragement to overcome these childhood deprivations. Days of Healing, Days of Joy models a program of serenity, spirituality, and acceptance through its meditations. "Children of alcoholics are set up for their struggles. You are not sick. You got set up." --Dr. Jan WoititzAlcoholic or addicted parents may become focused on their compulsion while their children fend for themselves in a dysfunctional household.

Children parent themselves, and their innocence dies.Parents

Renaissance Woman

The Renaissance created a new vision of womanhood and indeed a New Woman, proposes Gaia Servadio in this rich feast of a book. She dates the birth of this revolutionary movement to the invention of the printing press in 1456, which made books and hence education available to women. Central to her story are the lives of such as Vittoria Colonna, whose extraordinary mutual love with Michelangelo is told here; Tullia d Aragona, poet and the best known courtesan of her age; and French poet Louise Labe, who fought in battle in male clothes. They are placed center stage to the Renaissance s power plays, paintings and architecture, courtesans and popes, music and manners, fashion, food, cosmetics, changing societies and the language of poetry and symbols."

Druhá Barnabáškova kniha

Táto kniha je trochu zvláštna. Pýtate sa, čím? Je to kniha, ktorú treba čítať z oboch koncov, pretože sú to vlastne dve knihy. Každá z nich dostala svoj vlastný obal, aby neboli smutné a nezávideli si. Opäť sa stretávame s Barnabášom. Trochu vyrástol a naučil sa veľa nových vecí: ako upratovať, ako asfaltovať ulicu, ako spravodlivo rozdeľovať čokoládu, kedy hrať hry na počítači a kedy nie, ako postaviť model lietadla a ako zorganizovať revolúciu. Najdôležitejšie zo všetkého sú jeho nové sestričky Dorotka a Hanička. Barnabáš sa s nimi rozprával, keď boli v maminom brušku, a prehováral ich, aby vyrástli. Ako správny starší brat sa s nimi hrá, stará sa o ne a postupne zisťuje, že to s nimi nie je až také jednoduché a že Dorotka a Hanička sa dokážu postaviť na vlastné hlavy.

V oblasti dizajnu možno hovoriť o všadeprítomnom trende metalických prvkov a povrchov. Keby sme chceli ísť hlbšie k postate, k umeniu spracovania, tu so sebou luxus nesie brilantnosť dokonalo zvládnutého remesla. Moderný človek má však rôzne potreby, zamyslite sa s magazínom TTB, čo má dnes pre nás skutočnú hodnotu.

Dvořák Antonín - Klavírní trio g-moll, op. 26

K formě klavírního tria přistoupil Dvořák celkem čtyřikrát. Druhé klavírní trio g moll op. 26 (1876) představuje autorovo typické pojetí této formy a zároveň dokumentuje skladatelův přechod od fáze experimentů ke zrodu vlastního charakteristického stylu, který spočíval částečně v návratu k přehledné formě a tematické jasnosti. Předložené vydání přejímá notový text vydání z roku 1958. Toto vydání bylo součástí Souborného vydání děl A. Dvořáka. Editoři zvolili jako hlavní pramen první tisk (Bote & Bock, 1879). Nové vydání, přinášející drobné změny pouze v notaci, vychází vstříc potřebám dnešní provozovací praxe. V úvodu je doplněno novou podrobnou předmluvou Evy Velické (cz.,eng.,ger.).
