Luc Tuymans: Amnesia

Widely credited with having contributed to the revival of painting in the 1990s, Belgian painter Luc Tuymans continues to expand our understanding of the medium. Sourcing imagery from books, magazines, films, the internet, and increasingly his own iPhone photos, Tuymans's unique selection of subject matter reveals his fascination with moral complexities.Exploring diverse and sensitive topics, many of which include historic references from World War II to more contemporary events such as 9/11, Tuymans presents imagery that at first seems innocuous or approachable but upon deeper inspection can be entirely unsettling. Achieved through his masterful handling of paint, his works are often suggestive of memories or familiar people, places, and things.The latest in the Spotlight Series, which focuses on new bodies of work by contemporary artists, Tuymans continues to

The Harley-Davidson Book. Refueled

First thing that comes to mind when you hear the name Harley-Davidson? Freedom, speed, roaring engines and passion on two wheels. And no other motorcycle brand in the world has the nearly mystical reputation of a Harley-Davidson. For more than a hundred years, this American classic from Milwaukee has shaped the motorcycle world.The fascination centers on the typical 45-degree, V2 engine. Over time, single-cylinder engines have come and gone from the Harley lineup, but the two-cylinder engine has been the defining style. Like a sculpture, it sits deep in the intricate tubular steel frame-an aesthetic revelation...and an auditory one as well. Once you've heard the gruff babbling of an Early Shovel, you're addicted for life! This is a book about the power and beauty of the engines and the elegance and strength of these machines from Lake Michigan. It is an homage to the flatheads, knuckleheads, panheads, ironheads, the shovels and Evolutions, and the modern-day fuel injectors. And at the same time it is a presentation of the water-cooled V2, the Street models, the electrified Live-Wire as well as the new Harley motorcycle genres: the naked bike "Bronx", the large enduro "Pan America" and medium-heavy e-bikes. The Harley-Davidson Book - Refueled is a visual journey through a tradition deeply rooted in the spirit of freedom of the USA. What would Easy Rider be without its iconic heroes, "Billy Bike" and "Captain America," the most famous motorcycles in the world? This free-wheeling attitude is conveyed in opulent, photo-rich stories and articles about the unique Harley-Davidson lifestyle. It's a road movie you can experience yourself, vibrating like an old knucklehead in its rigid frame.This refueled edition of our bestselling Harley-Davidson book features 32 new pages and several updated chapters, honouring the Harley in all its facets. Ride through the history of the Milwaukee legend, get up close to its pristine design, and explore the Harley-Davidson lifestyle that sees riders on the beach, the ice, or in the mountains. A must-have book for all who agree with the grandson of company founder, Willie G. Davidson: "On the eighth day, God created Harley-Davidson.

As a witch living in sunny South Florida, longtime hereditary witch Temperance Alden has often felt at odds gearing up to celebrate Yule, for example, when it is 76 degrees and sunny outside.Year of the Witch will help readers create their own intuitive practices in harmony with the climate, culture, and local spirits where they live.

Dělba moci a její proměny - Jan Tryzna

Koncept dělby moci představuje jeden z výchozích stavebních prvků současných demokratických právních států. Jeho základní myšlenka založená na přesvědčení o tom, že koncentrovaná moc hrozí svým zneužitím, je stále platná, avšak postupy, jimiž se má takovému nežádoucímu stavu bránit, jsou proměnlivé. Funkční koncept dělby moci musí být tudíž dynamický. Prochází jednak spontánním vývojem, jednak jsou podoby dělby moci ovlivňovány řízenými společenskými procesy. Za základní charakteristiku těchto změn lze považovat měnící se přesvědčení o tom, kdo je nejlépe disponován čelit potenciálním snahám o uzurpaci většího dílu moci. Do koncepcí dělby moci se již nezapojují výlučně vnitrostátní orgány a další vnitrostátní aktéři. V nebývalé míře lze pozorovat ingerenci mezinárodních a nadnárodních organizací či vliv nestátního sektoru ať již ziskového nebo neziskového. Některými z těchto změn se kniha zabývá. Definuje samotný koncept dělby moci, obrací pozornost ke vztahům normotvůrce a orgánů aplikujících právo, které popisuje na pozadí dichotomie tvorby a dotváření práva, analyzuje vliv mezinárodních a nadnárodních organizací na činnost vnitrostátních orgánů jako jednu z forem jejich kontroly, v neposlední řadě se věnuje i rozdělení moci uvnitř justice.

Nemecká lož o našich dejinách

Jedným z najväčších omylov starej slovenskej histórie je oficiálny výklad zániku tzv. Veľkej Moravy a kauza kniežaťa Pribinu. Ako k tomu vôbec došlo? Ukazuje sa, že stará nemecká kronika, na ktorú sa všetci odvolávali, nie je pravdivá, ale účelovo zmanipulovaná. Ale našťastie objavili sa aj iné pramene informácií. A tak nastáva čas pre pravdivý výklad našich dejín. Ale naši akademickí historici sa do toho akosi nehrnú. Prečo? Čoho sa obávajú? Priznať pred svojimi žiakmi, občanmi tohto štátu, že to čo doteraz tvrdili a učili nebola pravda? Spadla by im koruna z hlavy? Boja sa, že by to mohlo vyvolať celý rad ďalších nepríjemných otázok? Došlo by k spochybňovaniu aj ich ďalších nespochybniteľných historických tvrdení? Zdá sa totiž, že celá história obdobia tzv. Veľkej Moravy vôbec nie je v poriadku. Niekto nám pred rokmi nanútil nepravdivú históriu a my sa jej slepo a otrocky roky držíme. Že by bol Sv. Metod pochovaný v Čiernych Kľačanoch? Že by dlho a dosiaľ márne hľadaným slávnym Metodovým mestom boli Zlaté Moravce? A žeby najstaršou slovenskou obcou boli Chrášťany? A tých otázok je mnoho, a aj vážnejších. Je toho hodne, čo treba v našom dejepise poopravovať, nad čím rozmýšľať i ďalej bádať. Ako to teda bolo?

The Interaction Field

Most business models are transactional. They are focused on a specific exchange. They match riders with drivers, sellers with buyers, hosts with travelers.They thrive on enormous scale, huge distribution networks, and brand recognition. But then along comes a rival that is small, nimble, and doesn't care much about its brand, and it either rushes past you or mows you down. In The Interaction Field, branding expert and author Erich Joachimsthaler explains that the only way to survive and thrive in this environment is through the Interaction Field model.An interaction field company is organized to generate, facilitate, and benefit from interactions. It's focused on data exchange among multiple people and groups-from customers and shareholders, but also from those you wouldn't expect to be in the mix: suppliers, software developers, regulators and even competitors. And everyone in the field works together to solve big, industry-wide problems.This new mindset is broader, more inclusive, more focused on problem-solving, shared wealth, and social benefit. The future is going to be about creating value for everyone, and businesses that solve immediate challenges of people today and also the major social and economic challenges of the future are the ones that will survive and grow.

Oblázky pod jazykem

Neobvyklý, poutavý román současné slovenské spisovatelky o všedních dnech a snech zralé ženy. Ariana je ve věku prvních velkých životních bilancí. Po matčině smrti hledá novou cestu a láska zejména na začátku této pouti hraje určující roli. Mladší, energický a přitažlivý Marek je protipólem bývalého manžela, jehož přístup ke vztahům i k životu připomíná dnes čím dál grotesknější postavy dříve dominujících mužských typů. Poetické vyprávění o plynoucích dnech přinášejících nové možnosti se postupně prolíná s fantaskním světem vzpomínek a představ. Vytváří překvapivý, ale uvěřitelný svět bohatý na obrazy ženami obvykle navenek skrývané. Motiv knihy, která pro Arianu představuje způsob hledání i sebevyjádření, dostává pozoruhodný rámec v metafoře hvězdy, jejímž skutečným předobrazem je známý pražský letohrádek.
