Woman in the Nineteenth Century Fuller MargaretPaperback

A woman of many gifts, Margaret Fuller (1810-1850) is most aptly remembered as America's first true feminist. In her brief yet fruitful life, she was variously author, editor, literary and social critic, journalist, poet, and revolutionary. She was also one of the few female members of the prestigious Transcendentalist movement, whose ranks included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and many other prominent New England intellectuals of the day. As co-editor of the transcendentalist journal, The Dial, Fuller was able to give voice to her groundbreaking social critique on woman's place in society, the genesis of the book that was later to become Woman in the Nineteenth Century. Published in 1843, this essay was entitled "The Great Lawsuit: Man versus Men, Woman versus Women."First published in book form in 1845,

Sami doma: Bydlení, práce a vztahy lidí žijících v jednočlenných domácnostech

Sólista není týmový hráč, je zaměřen na vlastní úspěch, nehledí na potřebu ostatních, jde za svým bez ohledu na celek. V případě, že o sólistech mluví komentátor fotbalového utkání. Sólista je ale také ten, kdo dokonale ovládá svůj nástroj, kdo stojí před orchestrem a svou pílí, uměním a profesionalitou podporuje výkon všech ostatních. Ten, kdo se vydává do neznáma, kdo spoléhá sám na sebe a ví, že za své chyby bude platit sám. Sólista může být bezohledný egocentrik stejně jako obětavý pomocník druhých. Sólisté v sobě zahrnují barevnost lidské existence, stejně jako jsme ji nacházeli u všech účastníků a účastnic našeho výzkumu. A proto v textu předkládané knihy hovoříme nejenom o samostatně žijících, lidech v jednočlenné domácnosti, komunikačních partnerech a partnerkách, participantech atp., ale také o sólistech a sólistkách. Jsou jimi lidé, kteří tvoří samostatnou ekonomickou jednotku (domácnost) a nesdílejí svůj intimní prostor dlouhodobě s žádnou jinou osobou a jsou bezdětní. V letech 2013 – 2014 jsme vedli rozhovory s celkem 27 lidmi a zajímalo nás, zda a jak si vytváří, upravují a přisvojují svůj „domov“ ti, kteří jej netvoří s nikým jiným a pro nikoho jiného, co pro ně vlastně domov, který je obecně spojován s rodinou, vyjednáváním a sdílením, znamená. Obsah knihy tvoří triáda ústředních témat: Jsou to otázky sociálních vztahů sahajících za hranice domácností, a tyto hranice často překračujících, otázky (nejen placené) práce a volného času a jejich vzájemného soupeření o prostor a čas domácností sólistů, a v neposlední řadě různé způsoby nakládání s předměty a prostorem v domácnostech, každodenní praktiky zabydlování privátních příbytků. Kniha je svým stylem určena odborné veřejnosti (především úvodní kapitoly), jazyk analytických kapitol je však dostupný širokému publiku a veřejnosti i mimo akademickou sféru.

Discovering Your Spirit Animal

In Discovering Your Spirit Animal, shamanic healer Lucy Harmer presents a practical approach to understanding spirit animals and applying their power to specific situations in daily life. Written in clear, simple language and featuring compelling stories and anecdotes, the book explains what a spirit animal is, describes its purpose, and shows that understanding the "medicine" of one's spirit animal--assimilating its qualities and characteristics--allows one to apply the lessons and messages they convey and use them for personal transformation. Lucy Harmer notes that particular animals that cross one's path or appear repeatedly nearby probably want us to share in their medicine, their teaching, their energy, and their spirit.Discovering Your Spirit Animal provides guidance for meeting and getting to know one's spirit animal through easy exercises and

Slovo Boží dětem

Na slovech záleží. To Přemysl Pitter věděl. V této knížce vypráví svým osobitým způsobem evangelijní příběhy. Šlo mu především o spojení dávných příběhů se současným životem tak, aby hluboká, podstatná a nenahraditelná náboženská inspirace vstoupila do života mládeže. Přemysl Pitter byl v tomto ohledu obzvláště motivován. Věděl a sám to prožil, že špatná náboženská výchova může vyústit v lhostejnost, případně ateismus.Od dob vydání této knížky se naše znalosti dobového pozadí Ježíšova působení ještě více prohloubily a zároveň se změnil i náš životní styl. To však nikterak nezmenšuje hodnotu a důležitost této knížky. Pittrova znalost dětské duše, jeho vřelost, povzbudivost, láska a víra inspirují jeho podání evangelií, nesou je a dávají mu hluboký reliéf. Proto je to i dnes knížka aktuální a potřebná. (z předmluvy Josefa D. Beneše)

Touching the Void Greig DavidPaperback / softback

In 1928 a journalist asked George Mallory why he wanted to climb Everest. Mallory said, "Because it's there" Joe Simpson's memoir Touching the Void, international bestseller and BAFTA-winning film, charts his struggle for survival on the perilous Siula Grande mountain in the Peruvian Andes aged twenty-five. Adapted for the stage by David Greig, Joe's story explodes into a bold theatrical fantasia. We discover the counter-cultural world of Alpine climbing and the sensual joy of the mountains; we bear witness to the appalling moment when Joe's climbing partner Simon Yates, battered by freezing winds and tethered to the injured Simpson, makes the critical decision to cut the rope. Tense, funny and inquisitive, Touching the Void explores the mind's extraordinarily rich reservoirs of strength and imagination when teetering on the edge of death. David

Austerity and Working-Class Resistance - Survival, Disruption and Creation in Hard TimesPaperback / softback

The working classes today are facing a new set of crises around increasing austerity, authoritarianism, exploitation, and surveillance. But in many places, and in many ways, they are resisting. From new forms of workplace organisation, migrant workers challenging their exploitation, struggles against digitalised work, and through alternative forms of grassroots mobilisation, working-class resistance is emerging in new and often unexpected spaces. Through a range of cases in Europe and from around the world, this book brings radical voices from sociology, political economy, labour relations, and media studies to offer an understanding of the potential of working-class struggles in and against these 'hard times'. This engaging volume is an attempt to understand how new, dynamic sites of resistance in and outside the workplace are central to the different ways in which workers survive,

Mary Barton Gaskell ElizabethPaperback

'It's the masters as has wrought this woe; it's the masters as should pay for it.' Set in Manchester in the 1840s - a period of industrial unrest and extreme deprivation - Mary Barton depicts the effects of economic and physical hardship upon the city's working-class community. Paralleling the novel's treatment of the relationship between masters and men, the suffering of the poor, and the workmen's angry response, is the story of Mary herself: a factory-worker's daughter who attracts the attentions of the mill-owner's son, she becomes caught up in the violence of class conflict when a brutal murder forces her to confront her true feelings and allegiances. Mary Barton was praised by contemporary critics for its vivid realism, its convincing characters and its deep sympathy with the poor, and it still has the power to engage and move readers today. This edition reproduces the last edition of the novel supervised by Elizabeth Gaskell and includes her husband's two lectures on the Lancashire dialect. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Boundless

This second book in New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore's all-new Forgotten Realms trilogy--full of swordplay, danger, and imaginative thrills--features one of fantasy's most beloved and enduring characters, Drizzt Do'Urden.Split between time and two worlds, Zaknafein had always been conflicted. That inner turmoil was magnified by his inferior position as a male dark elf in the matriarchal drow society. Only his status as one of the greatest warriors--as well as his friendship with the mercenary Jarlaxle--kept him sane. When he finally perished, he was content knowing he left behind a legacy as substantial as his son Drizzt.Except . . . someone isn't ready for Zaknafein to be dead. And now he's back, hundreds of years later, in a world he doesn't recognize. His son's companions are not the prideful--and bigoted--males

Elder Edda

Part of a new series Legends from the Ancient North, The Elder Edda is one of the classic books that influenced JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. "I was in the East, battling giants, wicked-hearted women, who wandered the fells; great would be the giant-race, if they all lived: mankind would be nothing under, middle-earth. What did you do meantime, Grey-beard?" (J.R.R). Tolkien spent much of his life studying, translating and teaching the great epic stories of northern Europe, filled with heroes, dragons, trolls, dwarves and magic. He was hugely influential for his advocacy of Beowulf as a great work of literature and, even if he had never written The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, would be recognised today as a significant figure in the rediscovery of these extraordinary tales. Legends from the Ancient North brings together from Penguin Classics five of the key works behind Tolkien's fiction. They are startling, brutal, strange pieces of writing, with an elemental power brilliantly preserved in these translations. They plunge the reader into a world of treachery, quests, chivalry, trials of strength. They are the most ancient narratives that exist from northern Europe and bring us as near as we will ever get to the origins of the magical landscape of Middle-earth (Midgard) which Tolkien remade in the 20th century.

Crowdsourcing

Ever since the term "crowdsourcing" was coined in 2006 by Wired writer Jeff Howe, group activities ranging from the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary to the choosing of new colors for M&Ms have been labeled with this most buzz-generating of media buzzwords. In this accessible but authoritative account, grounded in the empirical literature, Daren Brabham explains what crowdsourcing is, what it is not, and how it works. Crowdsourcing, Brabham tells us, is an online, distributed problem solving and production model that leverages the collective intelligence of online communities for specific purposes set forth by a crowdsourcing organization -- corporate, government, or volunteer. Uniquely, it combines a bottom-up, open, creative process with top-down organizational goals. Crowdsourcing is not open source production, which lacks the top-down component; it is not a market research survey that offers participants a short list of choices; and it is qualitatively different from predigital open innovation and collaborative production processes, which lacked the speed, reach, rich capability, and lowered barriers to entry enabled by the Internet.Brabham describes the intellectual roots of the idea of crowdsourcing in such concepts as collective intelligence, the wisdom of crowds, and distributed computing. He surveys the major issues in crowdsourcing, including crowd motivation, the misconception of the amateur participant, crowdfunding, and the danger of "crowdsploitation" of volunteer labor, citing real-world examples from Threadless, InnoCentive, and other organizations. And he considers the future of crowdsourcing in both theory and practice, describing its possible roles in journalism, governance, national security, and science and health.
