Penn Studies in Landscape Architecture. Photographs by Morna Livingston. Translated by Evan W. Mellander. Foreword by Laurie Olin. 6…x 9. 24 black and white illustrations. 200 pages. hardcover. keywords: Landscape Architecture. DESCRIPTION - 'This is a remarkable book, one that rescues a fragment of the world and offers us perception and knowledge of a very particular place, a cultural landscape of deep meaning, beauty, and value.'--From the Foreword by Laurie Olin. Just as there is love at first sight between people, Václav Cílek writes, there can be love at first sight between a person and a place. A landscape is more than a location, it is one party in a relationship--whether or not the spirit of a certain setting is perceptible to those who visit. But whether we travel to experience rapture or excitement, to discover truth and beauty or to be dazzled, we search for the essence of faraway landscapes to gain perspective on our own places within the world. To Breathe with Birds delves into the imaginative and emotional bonds we form with landscapes and how human existence--a recent development, geologically speaking--shapes and is shaped by a sense of place. In subtle and lyrical prose, renowned geologist and author Václav Cílek explores topics from the history of asphalt to the spirits we imagine in trees and from geodiversity to the mathematics of snowflakes. Weaving earth science and environmentalism together with memoir and myth, the chapters visit resonant locations from India to Massachusetts, though most are deeply rooted in the river-laced, war-scarred Czech landscape. These reflections are accompanied by evocative photographs by Morna Livingston, which capture the beauty and strangeness of natural and human-made landscapes. The first book-length appearance of Cilek's work in English translation, To Breathe with Birds offers insightful perspectives on the symbolism of landscapes as we struggle to conserve and protect the depleted earth. inventory #43463.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Unbekannte Unterschrift / Widmung / Aufkleber; Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Stojime na prahu velke promeny. Neklid zazivame vsude kolem sebe. Co nam ta promena prinese a kdy prijde, se muzeme jen domnivat. Je dobre si ale uvedomit, ze podobne predely zazivali lide tisice let pred nami…. Ne vzdycky musi znamenat katastrofu. Toto presvedceni Vaclava Cilka vystupuje z teto knizky jako poselstvi. Tahle knizka je jednim velkym putovanim. Putovanim casem, dejinami, svetem. Znamy geolog a esejista nas provede krajinami sveho srdce, krajinami z kamene i myslenek. Navstivime jeskyne i davne civilizace, skalni mesta i indiany, krasy Cech i Jeruzalem. Podivame se, kam se ubira moderni spolecnost i jaky vliv na ni maji nove technologie. Zamyslime se, kam se za posledni leta posunula spolecnost ceska. Ale take kde a v cem dnes muzeme hledat krasno a klid. A jak to vsechno muze souviset. Souvislosti jsou casto necekane a netusene. V otevrenem rozhovoru s novinarem Janem Drazanem vypravi Vaclav Cilek poutave, moudre, s nadhledem i humorem o vecech, kterymi se leta zabyva. Stejne tak o svem zivote. Vzpomina, jak chodil do cernosske skoly nebo jak v dolech malem odpalil spoluzaka. Ohlizi se za jednou dlouhou kapitolou sveho zivota, protoze - jak sam rika - chce se divat hlavne dopredu.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Prvni cast knihy tvori pribehy a uryvky, ktere Vaclav Cilek nashromazdil behem sve prvni americke cesty v roce 1994, expedice do Gilf Kebiru v roce 2008 a nedavne cesty do obojetneho Jeruzalema. Nektere pribehy se zde objevuji poprve, jine byly publikova…ny v jeho prvni a jiz nedostupne knize ,Pisen pro odchazejici dusi" (Malvern, 1997). Tyto pribehy spojuje motiv snu ci vize. Druha cast knihy je antologii prevazne starovekych uryvku o podsvetnich kultech, branach, jeskynich a obecne o podzemnich bludistich, jakymi podle jistych predstav prochazi duse po smrti. Ustrednim motivem jinak potemnelych textu je stridmost - Sofrosyne. Pokud si ji clovek osvoji za ziva, neprepije se pramene zapomneni a nemusi opakovat bludnou pout. Pojem stridmosti a primerenosti zaroven otevira i aktualni cestu tech civilizaci, ktere nechteji jen tak zazarit a zhasnout.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. Geolog a ocenovany esejista Vaclav Cilek je znamy tim, ze se k aktualnim problemum sveta dokaze vyjadrit nadcasove, z rozmanitych uhlu pohledu, s nadhledem, vtipem i s konstruktivni skepsi. Jeho nejnovejsi kniha Co se deje se svetem? je typicky cilk…ovska: zdanlive jde o popis velke promeny naseho sveta vlivem klimatickych zmen a migracni vlny, ale ve skutecnosti se autor soustreduje predevsim na to, jak si v zivote udrzet radost a jak (pre)zit stastne. V prvni casti venovane ceskym zahradkam se zabyva tematy, jako je utecha kvetin, inteligence stromu a mala dobrodini bezneho sveta, ktera vedou ke spokojenosti a stesti. Odtud prechazi do sveta reckych a indianskych mytu, abychom si uvedomili dulezitost vody a casu v nasem zivote. Posledni cast knihy se dotyka pribehu velkeho zrychleni, tedy lidskeho vlivu na cely zemsky system a na jeho mozne dusledky. Navzdory vsem moznym katastrofickym scenarum je to kniha optimisticka a prinasi konkretni navrhy, jak resit soucasnou a budouci krizi.Publikaci doprovazeji surrealne ilustrace Kateriny Pinosove a fotografie autora.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Slovo makom pochazi z hebrejstiny. Znamena misto, ale je to spis misto v srdci, protoze vesmir jsou (jak se rika) hlavne vztahy. V kabale je vyznam slova makom jeste zavaznejsi -predstavuje seste nebe, kde se vse predurcuje. Uprostred sesteho nebe je temna propast Daat Beri…ja, z niz vychazi hlas, jenz dava poznani. Predkladana kniha ma prostsi cil. Navazuje na knihu o krajinach vnitrnich a vnejsich a v prvni casti se obraci k realnym mistum: k carodejnemu lesu u Kuksu, k paladiu ve Stare Boleslavi, k Vojtesske huti na Kladne i k situacim, kdy Balkan je vic nez cela Evropa. Ptame se zde, kde zijeme a odkud pochazime. V druhe casti, nazvane Zeitgeist - duch doby, nas vic zajima, v jake dobe to vlastne zijeme a kam smerujeme. V casti treti, nazvane Bohove, buddhove a trpaslici, se nam jedna zejmena o trpasliky, o to, co nas presahuje a co vubec nezapada do kazdodenniho zivota. Kniha byla nove rozsirena o ctvrtou cast Posledni divocina.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Stojime na prahu velke promeny. Neklid zazivame vsude kolem sebe. Co nam ta promena prinese a kdy prijde, se muzeme jen domnivat. Je dobre si ale uvedomit, ze podobne predely zazivali lide tisice let pred nami. Ne vzdycky musi znamenat katastrofu. Toto presvedceni Vaclava C…ilka vystupuje z teto knizky jako poselstvi. Tahle knizka je jednim velkym putovanim. Putovanim casem, dejinami, svetem. Znamy geolog a esejista nas provede krajinami sveho srdce, krajinami z kamene i myslenek. Navstivime jeskyne i davne civilizace, skalni mesta i indiany, krasy Cech i Jeruzalem. Podivame se, kam se ubira moderni spolecnost i jaky vliv na ni maji nove technologie. Zamyslime se, kam se za posledni leta posunula spolecnost ceska. Ale take kde a v cem dnes muzeme hledat krasno a klid. A jak to vsechno muze souviset. Souvislosti jsou casto necekane a netusene. V otevrenem rozhovoru s novinarem Janem Drazanem vypravi Vaclav Cilek poutave, moudre, s nadhledem i humorem o vecech, kterymi se leta zabyva. Stejne tak o svem zivote. Vzpomina, jak chodil do cernosske skoly nebo jak v dolech malem odpalil spoluzaka. Ohlizi se za jednou dlouhou kapitolou sveho zivota, protoze - jak sam rika - chce se divat hlavne dopredu.
