The Glamour of Strangeness: Artists and the Last Age of the Exotic
ISBN: 9780374163358 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. According to Paul Bowles, a tourist travels quickly home, while a traveler moves slowly from one destination to the next. In The Glamour of Strangeness, Jamie James describes "a third species, those who roam the world in search of the home they never had in the place that made them." From the early days of steamship travel, artists stifled by the culture of their homelands fled to islands, jungles, and deserts in search of new creative and emotional frontiers. Their flight inspired a unique body of work that doesn't fit squarely within the Western canon, yet may be some of the most...

The Music of the Spheres; Music, Science, and the Natural Order of the Universe
ISBN: 9780387944746 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For centuries, scientists and philosophers believed that the universe was a stately, ordered mechanism, both mathematical and musical. The perceived distances between objects in the sky mirrored (and were mirrored by) the spaces between notes forming chords and scales. The smooth operation of the cosmos created a divine harmony that composers sought to capture and express. Jamie James allows readers to see how this scientific philosophy emerged, how it was shattered by changing views of the universe and the rise of Romanticism, and to what extent it survives today - if at all. From Pythagoras...

Isolated and arrestingly beautiful, the island of Capri has been a refuge for renegade artists and writers fleeing the strictures of conventional society from the time of Augustus, who bought the island in 29 BC after defeating Antony and Cleopatra, to the early twentieth century, when the poet and novelist Jacques dAdelswrd-Fersen was in exile there after being charged with corrupting minors, to the 1960s, when Truman Capote spent time on the island.

The Music Of The Spheres: Music, Science and the Natural Order of the Universe
ISBN: 9780349105420 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. From the 5th century BC, when Pythagoras first composed his laws of Western music and science, until the flowering of Romanticism over 2000 years later, scientists and philosophers perceived the cosmos musically, as an ordered mechanism whose smooth operation created a celestial harmony - the music of the spheres. The separation of science and music began with the scientific revolution during the Renaissance, and reached a peak with Romanticism, which celebrated what was human, individual and local. 20th-century science and music, argues Jamie James in this book, have rejected the Romantic...

The Uncorrupted Pleasure Of An Old Bladed Putter: A collection of golfing fables
ISBN: 9781789633221 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Uncorrupted Pleasure Of An Old Bladed Putter is a love letter to golf, revealing something of the beauty, joy and comradeship that the author James Ellis-Caird has taken from his golfing life. In doing so, it is quietly revolutionary, depicting a vision of golf free from the constraints of convention and expectation, in which being 'good enough' is the goal, allowing space for personal expression, an appreciation of nature and the joy of the little things to come to the fore. A lesson not just for golf, but also perhaps for a quieter, gentler way to live our lives. Whether you're a...

The God Upgrade: Finding Your 21st-Century Spirituality in Judaism's 5,000-Year-Old Tradition

For people who don't believe that God can intervene in our lives, and why Judaism is still important. "Judaism has so much to teach us about how we treat ourselves, each other, and our planet.... Of course, you can learn these values elsewhere. But as a people, Jews have thousands of years of experience turning this kind of stuff over and over. We've] had millions of users working to debug the system. Rather than look to other sources for guidance, let us turn to our own people's past to discover what it has to say about our present and our future."

The strange and wonderful place of Twin Peaks captivated audiences for more than two decades before its long-awaited return to television in 2017.

More than just a soapy murder investigation or a mysterious puzzle to be solved, Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: The Return are metaphors for the political years in which they are set. The Politics of Twin Peaks...
