Čtvrtý díl kriminální řady oblíbeného spisovatele, v níž písař královské komory Jiří Adam z Dobronína řeší neobvyklé zločiny Čech a Moravy za vlády Ferdinanda I Habsburského. Jiří Adam přijíždí a nabrat nové síly do vyhlášených teplických lázní, ty se se však záhy stávají dějištěm záhadných vražd mladých dívek. A tak Jiřímu Adamovi nezbývá nic jiného, než se opět pustit do vyšetřování. Pomocnou ruku mu nabídne inteligentní a charismatická šlechtična Kateřina Dolanská. Záhy se ukáže, že je do případu zřejmě zapletena evropská šlechta, která se zdánlivě sjela do lázní za účelem osvěžení těla. Málokdo je zde však ve skutečnosti tím, kým se zdá být...

Jurodivý, groteskně napínavý příběh jedné vraždy a osudového propojení muže a ženy, utopených v pochybnostech samoty, se mohl odehrát kdekoli. Prostředí divadla však otevírá jedinečný prostor pro hlubší vášně i hysterie, v němž navíc jednoho dne spadne opona definitivně: energickým účinkujícím, pasivním čumilům i zákulisním manipulátorům.

From the bestselling author of Stalingrad, Berlin and D-Day, Antony Beevor's Ardennes 1944: Hitler's Last Gamble tells the story of the German's ill-fated final stand. On 16 December, 1944, Hitler launched his 'last gamble' in the snow-covered forests and gorges of the Ardennes. He believed he could split the Allies by driving all the way to Antwerp, then force the Canadians and the British out of the war.Although his generals were doubtful of success, younger officers and NCOs were desperate to believe that their homes and families could be saved from the vengeful Red Army approaching from the east. Many were exultant at the prospect of striking back. The Ardennes offensive, with more than a million men involved, became the greatest battle of the war in western Europe.American troops, taken by surprise, found themselves fighting two panzer armies. Belgian civilians fled, justifiably afraid of German revenge. Panic spread even to Paris.While many American soldiers fled or surrendered, others held on heroically, creating breakwaters which slowed the German advance. The harsh winter conditions and the savagery of the battle became comparable to the eastern front. And after massacres by the Waffen-SS, even American generals approved when their men shot down surrendering Germans.The Ardennes was the battle which finally broke the back of the Wehrmacht.

Based on three years of extensive research and reporting, two of today's most acclaimed investigative journalists, Jeff Benedict of Sports Illustrated and eleven-time Emmy Award winner Armen Keteyian, deliver the first major biography of Tiger Woods - sweeping in scope and packed with groundbreaking, behind-the-scenes details of the Shakespearean rise and epic fall of a global icon. In 2009, Tiger Woods was the most famous athlete on the planet, a transcendent star of almost unfathomable fame and fortune living what appeared to be the perfect life - married to a Swedish beauty and the father of two young children. Winner of fourteen major golf championships and seventy-nine PGA Tour events, Woods was the first billion-dollar athlete, earning more than $100 million a year in endorsements from the likes of Nike, Gillette, AT&,amp,T and Gatorade.But it was all a carefully crafted illusion. As it turned out, Woods had been living a double life for years - one that exploded in the aftermath of a late-night crash that exposed his serial infidelity and sent his personal and professional life off a cliff. In Tiger Woods, Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian dig deep behind the headlines to produce a richly reported answer to the question that has mystified millions of sports fans for nearly a decade: who is Tiger Woods? Drawing on more than four hundred interviews with people from every corner of Woods's life - friends, family members, teachers, romantic partners, swing coaches, business associates, Tour pros and members of Woods's inner circle - Benedict and Keteyian construct a captivating psychological profile of an African-American child programmed by an attention-grabbing father and the original Tiger Mom to be the 'chosen one', to change not just the game of golf, but the world as well.But at what cost?Benedict and Keteyian provide the startling answers in a biography destined to make headlines and linger in the minds of readers for years to come.

Encompassing photography, installation, print media, video and more, this publication is the most comprehensive account of Tillmans' wide-ranging career to dateA visionary creator and intrepid polymath, Wolfgang Tillmans unites formal inventiveness with an ethical orientation that attends to the most pressing issues of life today. While his work transcends the bounds of any single artistic discipline, he is best known for his wide-ranging photographic output. From trenchant documents of social movements to windowsill still lifes, ecstatic images of nightlife to cameraless abstractions, sensitive portraits to architectural studies, astronomical phenomena to intimate nudes, he has explored seemingly every genre of photography imaginable, continually experimenting with how to make new pictures and deepen the viewer's experience.Published in conjunction with a major exhibition of Tillmans' work at the Museum of Modern Art, this copiously illustrated volume surveys four decades of the artist's career. An outstanding group of writers offer diverse essays addressing key threads of his multifaceted practice, and a new text by Tillmans himself elucidates the distinctive methodology behind his system of presenting photographs. Wolfgang Tillmans: To look without fear grants readers new insight into the work of an artist who has not only changed the way photography is exhibited but pointed contemporary art in dynamic new directions.Wolfgang Tillmans (born 1968) is among the most influential contemporary artists, and the impact of his work registers across the arts, intersecting with fashion, music, architecture, the performing arts and activism. Tillmans is the recipient of the Turner Prize (2000) and the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography (2015). His foundation, Between Bridges, supports the advancement of democracy, international understanding, the arts and LGBTQ rights.

Nedostatečná spolupráce pacientů v léčbě chronických onemocnění je v odborných diskusích dlouhodobě diskutovaným problémem s negativními klinickými a ekonomickými důsledky. Laické představy, přesvědčení pacientů o onemocnění jsou významným faktorem ovlivňujícím jejich proces vyrovnávání se s onemocněním, zvládání nároků léčby, spolupráci pacientů v léčbě a v konečném důsledku její úspěšnost. Cílem monografie je v ucelené podobě zpracovat problematiku subjektivního pojetí onemocnění pacientů a její uplatnění v tvorbě edukačních programů, resp. v individualizaci edukace. Publikace by tak měla přispět k obohacení, rozšíření pohledu na instrumentální obsah edukace o specifické podpůrné intervence zaměřené na ovlivnění nesprávných přesvědčení pacientů. Monografie je primárně určena odborné komunitě z různých vědních oblastí (psychologie zdraví, ošetřovatelství, psychoterapie, medicíny, sociologie), které se zabývají psychosociálními aspekty chronických onemocnění, péčí, včetně edukace.

Leading international artists and art educators consider the challenges of art education in today's dramatically changed art world.The last explosive change in art education came nearly a century ago, when the German Bauhaus was formed. Today, dramatic changes in the art world -- its increasing professionalization, the pervasive power of the art market, and fundamental shifts in art-making itself in our post-Duchampian era -- combined with a revolution in information technology, raise fundamental questions about the education of today's artists. Art School (Propositions for the 21st Century) brings together more than thirty leading international artists and art educators to reconsider the practices of art education in academic, practical, ethical, and philosophical terms. The essays in the book range over continents, histories, traditions, experiments, and
