Exploring the pressures of societal expectations, this book delves into how men grapple with external ideals of masculinity, leading to unfulfilling lives marked by addiction, depression, and unsatisfying relationships. It highlights the emotional turmoil and confusion that arise from trying to conform to cultural standards, ultimately prompting a search for deeper meaning and fulfillment beyond superficial pursuits.
Describes the machinery of gravity based on the idea that all matter is expanding forever. Derives equations showing that the intuitive notion that this idea can not be correct because objects of different densities would change sizes is wrong. Instead because nothing can go faster than light speed, objects regardless of densities or geometry converge in sizes such that the ratio of all sizes remain almost time invariant. However, there remains a very small difference in the ratios that can be measured under some conditions and shows up in certain long distance measurements. One example being the three Pioneer 10/11 anomalous accelerations and the apparent (but unexplained) expansion of the earth. The idea is developed and then applied to six problems in physics (bending of starlight, advance of the perihelion of Mercury, behavior of spiral galaxies, expansion of the earth, anomalous acceleration terms for Pioneer 10/11, and acceleration of universe expansion) showing very nice explanations and solutions matching measurement results with (in some cases) simpler solutions than in the literature.

Rosso Fiorentino was one of the most original painters and draftsmen of the entire Renaissance period and a crucial figure among the so-called Mannerists. This book focuses on Rosso's life and works until about 1530, when he abandoned Italy for France and the court of Francis I and finally received the recognition he deserved. Illustrated with some of the most powerful works of the Renaissance, this book provides a new basis for the assessment of Rosso and opens up fresh perspectives for the study of sixteenth-century painting and design.
Třistapadesátistránková anglicko-česká velkoformátová plnobarevná monografie s množstvím fotografií performancí a situačních plakátů mnohovrstevného umělce Milana Kohouta, zahrnuje téměř čtyřicet let jeho tvorby. Ponořte se do jeho díla z počáteční fáze Kohoutova undergroundového opojení, přes období podpisu Charty 77, jeho vynuceného vystěhování z Československa, pobytu v uprchlickém táboře, azylu ve Spojených státech, tamního studia umění, účasti na celé řadě festivalů po celém světě, až po etapu, kdy vyučoval umění na několika vysokých školách v Bostonu. Publikaci uvádějí eseje kolegů umělců, performerů, pedagogů umění a historičky umění, kteří nahlížejí kvality Kohoutova díla každý z jiného úhlu. Esej Milana Kohouta vám umožní porozumět tajům performančního umění spojeného s každodenní politikou nás všech žijících v neustálém, avšak marném pokusu o vytvoření dokonalého společenského zřízení. Komplexní monografie odkrývá pohnutky umělce, který se vrhá do boje s větrnými mlýny s neustálou nadějí, že jednou jejich lopatky naberou ten správný vítr.
