Toils of Scepticism Cambridge University Press
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
In the works of Sextus Empiricus, scepticism is presented in its most elaborate and challenging form. This book investigates - both from an exegetical and from a philosophical point of view - the chief argumentative forms which ancient scepticism developed. Thus the particular focus is on the Agrippan aspect of Sextus' Pyrrhonism. Barnes gives a lucid explanation and analysis of these arguments, both individually and as constituent parts of a sceptical system. For, taken together, these forms amount to a formidable and systematic challenge to any claim to knowledge or rational belief. The challenge had a great influence on the history of philosophy. And it has never been met. This study reflects the growing interest in ancient scepticism. Quotations from the ancient sources are all translated and Greek terms are explained. Notes on the ancient authors give a brief guide to the sources, both familiar and unfamiliar.

Donald Trump Bloomsbury Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
On November 8, 2016, Donald Trump won the American presidential election, to the surprise of many across the globe. Now that Trump is Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful country on earth, Americans and non-Americans alike have been left wondering what this will mean for the world. It has been claimed that Trump's foreign policy views are impulsive, inconsistent and that they were improvised on the campaign trail. However, drawing on interviews from as far back as 1980, Charlie Laderman and Brendan Simms show that this assumption is dangerously false. They reveal that Trump has had a consistent position on international trade and America's alliances since he first considered running for president in the late 1980s. Furthermore, his foreign policy views have deep roots in American history. For the new President, almost every international problem that has confronted the United States can be explained by the mistakes of its leaders. Yet, after decades of dismissing America's leaders as fools and denouncing their diplomacy, Trump must now prove that he can do better. Over the past three decades, he has been laying out in interviews, articles, books and tweets what amounts to a foreign policy philosophy. This book reveals the world view that Trump brings to the Oval Office. It shows how that world view was formed, what might result if it is applied in policy terms and the potential consequences for the rest of the world.

Crown of Saint Wenceslas) - insygnium koronacyjne władców Czech od 1347 do 1836 roku. Relikwia narodowa, symbol państwowości i suwerenności Republiki Czeskiej. Przechowywana w katedrze św. Wita w Pradze. "Paw" Habsburgów Historia Korona Świętego Wacława powstała ok. 1347 roku na koronację Karola IV Luksemburskiego i swoją nazwą nawiązuje do tradycji księcia Czech i męczennika, św. Wacława, który był patronem króla. Po swojej intronizacji Karol IV nakazał umieścić ją w relikwiarzu św. Wacława, skąd miała być wyjmowana tylko na szczególne okazje i koronacje. Następcy cesarza nie uszanowali jednak jego woli. W 1420 roku Zygmunt Luksemburski wywiózł ją z Czech, aby nie dopuścić do ewentualnego przejęcia jej przez husytów. Gdy zwrócił koronę w 1436 roku oddał ją na przechowanie do zamku Karlštejn pod Pragą, gdzie była przechowywana do XVII wieku. W 1619 roku przed koronacją Fryderyka Wittelsbacha została zwrócona do praskiej katedry, jednak już w 1631 została ponownie wywieziona. Najpierw do Budziejowic, a później do Wiednia, gdzie pozostawała z przerwami do 1791 roku. Od 1792 roku decyzją cesarza Leopolda II umieszczono ją w specjalnej komnacie nad kaplicą św. Wacława w katedrze praskiej. W 1866 roku Korona Świętego Wacława i czeskie regalia królewskie na czas wojny prusko-austriackiej zostały ukryte w Wiedniu. Po jej zakończeniu powróciły do Pragi i były kilkakrotnie wystawiane na widok publiczny podczas uroczystości państwowych (m.in. podczas pogrzebu cesarza Ferdynanda I w 1875 roku). Po I wojnie światowej po raz pierwszy pokazano je publicznie w 1929 roku. W 1938 roku postanowiono je ukryć przed ewentualną możliwością kradzieży regaliów przez Niemców. Koronę Świętego Wacława i inne insygnia królewskie zdeponowano w banku w Zlínie. Kilka miesięcy później powróciły one jednak powtórnie do Pragi. W okresie Protektoratu Czech i Moraw nie zostały wywiezione do Rzeszy Niemieckiej, chociaż zostały w 1944 roku przejęte przez Niemców, wyjęte z kaplicy św. Wacława i umieszczone na zamku królewskim na Hradczanach. Po 1945 roku ponownie umieszczono je w pomieszczeniu nad kaplicą św. Wacława w katedrze św. Wita w Pradze. Z uwagi na znaczenie jako symbol narodowy, Korona Świętego Wacława jest eksponowana niezwykle rzadko. Zwykle raz na pięć lat z okazji uroczystości zaprzysiężenia prezydenta Republiki Czech. Ostatni raz publicznie prezentowana była w 2008 roku. Opis Gotyckie insygnium wykonane na wzór francuskiej korony św. Ludwika złożone jest z czterech złotych segmentów zwieńczonych liliami heraldycznymi. Każdy element korony wysadzany jest kamieniami szlachetnymi o szlifie kabaszonowym: szafirami, spinelami oraz szmaragdami. Dodatkową dekorację stanowią perły, a także 250 karatowy rubin uważany za jeden z największych na świecie. Koronę zamykają dwa kabłąki na, których przecięciu umieszczono ozdobiony kamieniami szlachetnymi złoty krzyżyk. Koroną Świętego Wacława było koronowanych 22 władców Czech, w tym m.in. w 1471 r. - Władysław II Jagiellończyk. Ciekawostki Z Koroną Świętego Wacława związane jest historyczne pojęcie publicznoprawne Korony Świętego Wacława jako określenie wszystkich terytoriów podległych władzy królów czeskich. Przechowywanie Korony Świętego Wacława w katedrze św. Wita w Pradze związane jest z XVIII-wieczną tradycją według, której na straży czeskich insygniów koronacyjnych stoi siedmiu dostojników państwowych oraz kościelnych. Posiadają oni klucze do komnaty w kaplicy św. Wacława. W 1941 roku Niemcy dokonali włamania do skarbca katedralnego. W czasie wizyty w kaplicy św. Wacława dygnitarzy niemieckich otworzono komnatę z regaliami za pomocą dorobionych wytrychów. Obecny przy tym incydencie Reinhard Heydrich miał założyć sobie na głowę Koronę Świętego Wacława. ***** 100 Euro gold coin The Crown of St. Wenceslas of Bohemia Traditionally, a 100 Euro commemorative coin forms the centrepiece of Austria

Strong Is the New Beautiful: Embrace Your Natural Beauty, Eat Clean, and Harness Your Power Dey Street Books
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Lessons in strength, fitness, food, and attitude from the popular world champion skier and beauty icon-Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn. Olympic Alpine skier Lindsey Vonn wants women to stop thinking about "losing weight fast," and instead focus on loving their bodies for what they are and what they can do. Lindsey is a small-town Minnesota girl at heart turned world-champion skier, but that didn't come without hard work. In Strong Is the New Beautiful , Lindsey lays out the never-before-seen training routines and her overall philosophy that have helped her become the best female skier in the world-tailored for women of all shapes and sizes. Lindsey backs up her fitness program with advice on what to eat and how to work out, and kicks readers into high-gear, helping bolster their self-confidence and build a better body image, with the tips and tricks she's learned as a pro. This is Lindsey's regimen, and she encourages people to take from it what will work for them. She bounced back from injury not by doing every single thing a trainer said, but instead, by thinking about the fitness plan that would work for her, and eating the right foods that would make her feel and get healthy. In Strong Is the New Beautiful, she interweaves her training and diet regimen with compelling stories of her life growing up in the heartland, her love of skiing, the challenges she's faced-including injuries, illness, and depression-and her secrets to wellness, fitness, and recovery. Supported by cutting-edge science and the latest studies on health and exercise, filled with routines even those hitting the bunny hill of working out can master, and illustrated with dozens of workout shots and photos from Lindsey's own collection, Strong Is the New Beautiful will inspire and motivate you-whether you're an aspiring athlete, want to get back into shape, or are eager to up your game-to make your body stronger than ever before, inside and out.

J Dilla's Donuts Bloomsbury Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
From a Los Angeles hospital bed, equipped with little more than a laptop and a stack of records, James "J Dilla" Yancey crafted a set of tracks that would forever change the way beatmakers viewed their artform. The songs on Donuts are not hip hop music as "hip hop music" is typically defined; they careen and crash into each other, in one moment noisy and abrasive, gorgeous and heartbreaking the next. The samples and melodies tell the story of a man coming to terms with his declining health, a final love letter to the family and friends he was leaving behind. As a prolific producer with a voracious appetite for the history and mechanics of the music he loved, J Dilla knew the records that went into constructing Donuts inside and out. He could have taken them all and made a much different, more accessible album. If the widely accepted view is that his final work is a record about dying, the question becomes why did he make this record about dying?Drawing from philosophy, critical theory and musicology, as well as Dilla's own musical catalogue, Jordan Ferguson shows that the contradictory, irascible and confrontational music found on Donuts is as much a result of an artist's declining health as it is an example of what scholars call "late style," placing the album in a musical tradition that stretches back centuries.

C. S. Lewis on the Final Frontier Oxford University Press Inc
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
C.S. Lewis's space trilogy - Out of the Silent Planet (1938), Perelandra (1943), That Hideous Strength (1945) - has been both admired and dismissed for its staging of a sharply defined struggle between religious and naturalistic points of view. Proceeding from Mars and Venus to a final showdown on our own planet, each installment takes up another facet of the seemingly impassable conflict between Christianity and the tendencies of modern thought that arose in the wake of the Darwinian revolution in biology. In Out of the Silent Planet, the target is evolutionary naturalism, primarily as it appears in the science fiction of H.G. Wells. In Perelandra, it is the alluring but perilous doctrine of "creative" evolution inaugurated by Henri Bergson. In That Hideous Strength, Lewis depicts an insidious organization - the National Institute of Coordinated Experiments - whose friendly acronym, NICE, belies its pursuit of a eugenically inspired program to assume control over the evolutionary process and thereby achieve everlasting dominion over the planet.Taken together, these seemingly clear-cut confrontations between Christian tradition and modern apostasy reinforce the image of Lewis as the voice of an endangered heritage, a self-styled "dinosaur" waging spiritual warfare against the corruption and confusions of his age. Sanford Schwartz here offers a new reading of the trilogy that challenges the prevailing view of Lewis, shared by advocates and adversaries alike, as champion of the "discarded image" of premodern cosmology. Through his close reading of Lewis's work, Schwartz is able to discern the outlines of a Lewis who is far more deeply engaged with modern developments in science and philosophy, and more prepared to explore the possibilities for transforming these developments in ways that are not only compatible with traditional Christian doctrine but also speak to the distinctive problems of the modern condition. Unlike the Chronicles of Narnia, the Trilogy has received little scholarly attention. Schwartz's study fills a major gap in the literature and will appeal to a wide range of scholars and students as well as to Lewis's many devoted fans.

Life in Five Senses Random House Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project discovers a surprising path to a life of more energy, creativity, luck, and love: by tuning in to the five senses.For more than a decade, Gretchen Rubin had been studying happiness and human nature. Then, one day, a visit to her eye doctor made her realize that she d been overlooking a key element of happiness: her five senses. She d spent so much time stuck in her head that she d allowed the vital sensations of life to slip away, unnoticed. This epiphany lifted her from a state of foggy preoccupation into a world rediscovered by seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching.In this journey of self-experimentation, Rubin explores the mysteries and joys of the five senses as a path to a happier, more mindful life. Drawing on cutting-edge science, philosophy, literature, and her own efforts to practice what she learns, she investigates the profound power of tuning in to the physical world.From the simple pleasures of appreciating the magic of ketchup and adding favorite songs to a playlist, to more adventurous efforts like creating a daily ritual of visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art and attending Flavor University, Rubin show us how to experience each day with depth, delight, and connection. In the rush of daily life, she finds, our five senses offer us an immediate, sustainable way to cheer up, calm down, and engage the world around us as well as a way to glimpse the soul and touch the transcendent.Life in Five Senses is an absorbing, layered story of discovery filled with profound insights and practical suggestions about how to heighten our senses and use our powers of perception to live fuller, richer lives and, ultimately, how to move through the world with more vitality and love.

Poetics of Mind Cambridge University Press
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
In this bold new work, Ray Gibbs demonstrates that human cognition is deeply poetic and that figurative imagination constitutes the way we understand ourselves and the world in which we live. The traditional view of the mind holds that thought and language are inherently literal and that poetic language is a special human ability requiring different cognitive and linguistic skills than employed in ordinary language. This view has imposed serious limitations on the scholarly study of mental life and on everyday folk conceptions of human experience. Poetics of Mind overturns the traditional perspective by showing how figurative aspects of language reveal the poetic structure of mind. Ideas and research from psychology, linguistics, philosophy, anthropology, and literary theory are used to establish important links between the poetic structure of thought and everyday use of language. Particular use is made of the extensive research that has accumulated in experimental psycholinguistics and cognitive linguistics over the past 15 years. Poetics of Mind evaluates current philosophical, linguistic, and literary theories of figurative language, using tools provided by psycholinguistic and cognitive psychology research. It relates the empirical work on figurative language understanding to broader issues concerning the nature of everyday thought and reasoning. As such, it will be of crucial interest to students and researchers in psychology, cognitive science, and linguistics.

'A bold, ambitious and truly wonderful history of the world' Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees'A fascinating story and a crucial revision of the momentous importance of tropical forests to human history' Lewis Dartnell, author of Origins_________________________ Jungle tells the remarkable story of the world's tropical forests, from the arrival of the first plants millions of years ago to the role of tropical forests in the evolution of the world's atmosphere, the dinosaurs, the first mammals and even our own species and ancestors. Highlighting provocative new evidence garnered from cutting-edge research, Dr Roberts shows, for example, that our view of humans as 'savannah specialists' is wildly wrong, and that the 'Anthropocene' began not with the Industrial Revolution, but potentially as early as 6,000 years ago in the tropics. We see that the relationship between humankind and 'jungles' is deep-rooted, that we are all connected to their destruction, and that we must all act to save them. Urgent, clear-sighted and original, Jungle challenges the way we think about the world - and ourselves. _________________________ 'Welcome to the "Jungle" - a breathtaking book' Mark Maslin, author of How to Save Our Planet'Timely, readable and highly relevant' Steve Brusatte, author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs'Its revelations and stories will stir, rearrange and populate your mind for years to come' Paul Hawken, editor of Drawdown'Brilliant ... it delivers a timely warning about our abuse of the environment' David Abulafia, author of The Great Sea'Finally, a book on rainforests that does justice to their majesty and importance' Simon Lewis, co-author of The Human Planet
