Description:

The bestselling author of Dispatches from Pluto and The Deepest South of All turns his sharp wit and observational powers on the epicenter of America’s most divisive issues: Arizona.
When Richard Grant and his wife moved with their four-year-old daughter back to Tucson, Arizona, where the couple first met, he expected to easily rekindle his love of the region. Instead, he found a housing market gone haywire, rampant election conspiracies, and right-wing political violence alarmingly close to his home and family. Undocumented immigration was surging, and the state was also on the front lines of climate change, breaking heat and drought records, and running out of long-term water supplies. Under these circumstances, Grant wondered how he might raise a happy, well-adjusted child who believes in the future. Yet these concerns weren’t keeping people away: Arizona was simultaneously experiencing some of the nation’s highest population growth.

Description:

Adults who want to learn a foreign language are often discouraged because they believe they cannot acquire a language as easily as children. Once they begin to learn a language, adults may be further discouraged when they find the methods used to teach children don’t seem to work for them. What is an adult language learner to do? In this book, Richard Roberts and Roger Kreuz draw on insights from psychology and cognitive science to show that adults can master a foreign language if they bring to bear the skills and knowledge they have honed over a lifetime. Adults shouldn’t try to learn as children do; they should learn like adults.

Roberts and Kreuz report evidence that adults can learn new languages even more easily than children. Children appear to have only two advantages over adults in learning a language: they acquire a native accent more easily, and they do not suffer from self-defeating anxiety about learning a language. Adults, on the other hand, have the greater advantages-gained from experience-of an understanding of their own mental processes and knowing how to use language to do things. Adults have an especially advantageous grasp of pragmatics, the social use of language, and Roberts and Kreuz show how to leverage this metalinguistic ability in learning a new language.

Learning a language takes effort. But if adult learners apply the tools acquired over a lifetime, it can be enjoyable and rewarding.

Description:

Biblioteka Fundacji Wiktora hr. Baworowskiego we Lwowie, założona przez znanego tłumacza literatury zachodnioeuropejskiej na język polski oraz bibliofila Wiktora hr. Baworowskiego (1826-1894),należała do najważniejszych bibliotek okresu zaborów, a po udostępnieniu publiczności (w 1900 r.) stała się znaczącym ośrodkiem życia naukowego Lwowa. Na kolekcję składało się ponad 15 tys. druków oraz ponad tysiąc rękopisów, zwłaszcza z zakresu literatury pięknej, politycznej, prawniczej, liturgicznej, teologicznej, matematyczno-przyrodniczej, pochodzących m.in. z włączanych księgozbiorów prywatnych. Powiększały ją zakupy, m.in. w 1914 r. nabyto bibliotekę Zygmunta hr. Czarneckiego, zawierającą liczne, niejednokrotnie cenne i unikatowe rękopisy i druki, dotyczące prawa, historii, literatury astronomiczno-matematycznej, a także polskich i zagranicznych kwestii religijnych. Od 1945 r. zasadniczy zrąb kolekcji jest przechowywany w Lwowskiej Narodowej Naukowej Bibliotece Ukrainy im. W. Stefanyka. Stanowi on cenne świadectwo znaczenia oraz roli historii i kultury polskiej dawnych wieków, obecnie element wspólnego dziedzictwa.

Zespół autorów podjął rekonstrukcję, opis i analizę XVI-wiecznego lwowskiego zasobu Bavorovianum. Prezentowany katalog rejestruje 275 druków pierwszej połowy XVI w. Wszystkie opisy starych druków uzupełniono o fotografie kart tytułowych, a także o indeksy osobowy, tytułowy, typograficzny, proweniencyjny i znaków własnościowych. Sprawdzono także obecność informacji o rejestrowanych drukach w kilkudziesięciu polskich i światowych źródłach informacyjnych. Przedstawiono ponadto zwięzły zarys kształtowania się i losów księgozbioru oraz jego charakterystykę rzeczową, co pozwala na wniosek o jego wyjątkowej wartości dla kultury umysłowej nie tylko dawnego, ale i współczesnego Lwowa. Zamieszczono również wyniki analizy mikrobiologicznej i fizykochemicznej druków XVI-wieku, wraz z omówieniem metody przeprowadzonych badań. Przygotowywany jest następny tom, obejmujący katalog druków drugiej połowy XVI w.

Description:

A piercing examination of our current social and political situation through the lens of Integral Theory-by the framework’s founder, cutting-edge philosopher Ken Wilber.
Our overwhelmingly divisive socio-political climate is among the greatest challenges of our time. Not only in America but also internationally, it seems that almost every issue raises incredibly vocal oppositional views. Not least of all, the arising of vast networks of disinformation is a testament to our deepening rifts. With so much hostility, antagonism, cynicism, and discord, how can we mend the ruptures in our society?
Acclaimed philosopher Ken Wilber examines our polarization through the lens of Integral Theory to show what led to these fractures, both in America and around the world-as well as what is needed for humanity to move forward. In his provocative analysis, he explores how the arising of support for antagonistic authoritarians represents a backlash against the failure of those at the leading edge of consciousness (postmodernism and pluralism) to acknowledge the challenges that persist amidst our imagined progress: that, to date, society has been not proven to be equal, and liberty and justice have not been consistent for all. But a new Integral force is emerging that can move beyond the narcissism, nihilism, and cynicism to offer genuine leadership and move us all toward greater wholeness. All of us can be part of the movement, and here Ken Wilber shows us how.

Explore how Yellowstone’s remote Western landscape became a symbol of our country-and an integral part of our understanding of the natural world.
It has been called Wonderland, America’s Serengeti, the crown jewel of the National Park System, and America’s best idea. But how did this faraway landscape evolve into one of the most recognizable places in the world? As the birthplace of the national park system, Yellowstone witnessed the first-ever attempt to protect wildlife, to restore endangered species, and to develop a new industry centered on nature tourism.
Yellowstone remains a national icon, one of the few entities capable of bridging ideological divides in the United States. Yet the park’s history is also filled with episodes of conflict and exclusion,…

Description:

Noise permeates our highly mediated and globalised cultures. Noise as art, music, cultural or digital practice is a way of intervening so that it can be harnessed for an aesthetic expression not caught within mainstream styles or distribution.

This wide-ranging book examines the concept and practices of noise, treating noise not merely as a sonic phenomenon but as an essential component of all communication and information systems. The book opens with ideas of what noise is, and then works through ideas of how noise works in contemporary media, to conclude by showing potentials within noise for a continuing cultural renovation through experimentation. Considered in this way, noise is seen as an essential yet excluded element of contemporary culture that demands a rigorous engagement. Reverberations brings together a range of perspectives, case studies, critiques and suggestions as to how noise can mobilize thought and cultural activity through a heightening of critical creativity. Written by a strong, international line-up of scholars and artists, Reverberations looks to energize this field of study and initiate debates for years to come.

Description:

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Genius of Birds, a radical investigation into the bird way of being, and the recent scientific research that it dramatically shifting our understanding of birds – how they live and how they think.
"There is the mammal way and there is the bird way." This is one scientist’s pithy distinction between mammal brains and bird brains: two ways to make a highly intelligent mind. But the bird way is much more than a unique pattern of brain wiring, and lately, scientists have taken a new look at bird behaviors they have, for years, dismissed as anomalies or mysteries. What they are finding is upending the traditional view of how birds conduct their lives, how they communicate, forage, court, breed, survive. They’re also revealing the remarkable intelligence underlying these activities, abilities we once considered uniquely our own-deception, manipulation, cheating, kidnapping, infanticide, but also,…
