Der große Alternsforscher Helmut Bachmaier zieht in diesem Buch die Summe seiner Überlegungen zum Thema Alter. Analytisch, narrativ, informativ. »Älter werden heißt: selbst ein neues Geschäft antreten; alle Verhältnisse verändern sich, und man muss entweder zu handeln ganz aufhören oder mit Willen und Bewusstsein das neue Rollenfach übernehmen", schrieb Goethe in seinen »Maximen und Reflexionen". Darüber, wie dieses »neue Rollenfach" aussehen könnte, gibt es bergeweise Ratgeber oder Anleitungen. Dieses Buch will beides nicht sein. Im Gegenteil: Vorschriften, Kontrollen hält Bachmaier für kontraproduktiv. Sich gegen das Alter zu stellen, es zu negieren im Sinne eines Jugendwah...
"Kim był ten poeta, który zapisał się w zbiorowej pamięci wierszami o zaczarowanej dorożce, ogórku, który nie śpiewa, i Teatrzykiem Zielona Gęś? Zielonym Konstantym zakochanym na wieki w srebrnej Natalii? Oszustem, słodkim szarlatanem, sztukmistrzem wyciągającym wiersze jak króliki z kapelusza? Kpiarzem sypiącym fajerwerkami dowcipu? A może „psem na forsę” piszącym na akord dla tego, kto zapłaci? Postacią tragiczną, uwikłaną w nałóg i kolejne polityczne układy? Człowiekiem zdolnym oświadczyć się podczas wojennej tułaczki trzem kobietom naraz, gdy w domu czekała żona? A może „księżycowym facetem”, zakochanym przed wszystkim w poezji i muzyce? Książka Anny Arno odkrywa przed nami wszystkie te twarze Konstantego Ildefonsa Gałczyńskiego i jeszcze wiele innych. Podobnie jak jego poezja, mieni się wieloma odcieniami, obraz poety raz jest flamandzkim portretem, raz socrealistycznym plakatem, a innym razem karykaturą z „Przekroju”. "
The history of aesthetics, like the histories of other sciences, may be treated in a two-fold manner: as the history of the men who created the field of study, or as the history of the questions that have been raised and resolved in the course of its pursuit. The earlier History of Aesthetics (3 volumes, 1960-68, English-language edition 1970-74) by the author of the present book was a history of men, of writers and artists who in centuries past have spoken up concerning beauty and art, form and crea tivity. The present book returns to the same subject, but treats it in a different way: as the history of aesthetic questions, concepts, theories. The matter of the two books, the previous and the present, is in part the same; but only in part: for the earlier book ended with the 17th century, while the present one brings the subject up to our own times. And from the 18th century to the 20th much happened in aesthetics; it was only in that period that aesthetics achieved recognition as a separate science, received a name of its own, and produced theories that early scholars and artists had never dreamed of.

Przestroga! /// Lektura zdradliwa, mogąca przyprawić o zawroty serca, mocniejsze bicie głowy i chorobliwe ataki zdrowego śmiechu. Przed użyciem skonsultuj się z drukarzem. Nigdzie indziej! /// Nie weźmiesz udziału w zabawie rytmicznej dla zdziecinniałych staruszków; nie dowiesz się, jaką dziedzinę wiedzy reprezentuje „pędologia”; nie prześledzisz ewolucji piosenki „Ścieżką pośród łąk”; nie usłyszysz o istnieniu Eldolarado i nie przeczytasz o ogólnokrajowym kryzysie guzikowym.

Geometry is one of the most ancient branches of mathematics. In order to 'understand geometry', learners should be able to infer in a deductive way as well as be endowed with enhanced visual competences. These prerequisites render plane geometry and solid geometry challenging for both teaching and learning. Hence, it is essential to consider creative ways for teaching the various branches of geometry in order to respond to the varied difficulties, while fostering deductive thinking and visual competences.This book aims to provide readers with a broad knowledge of the various aspects of creativity and its assessment and to expose them to creative methods and approaches to the teaching of geometry. The content of the book is grounded in the research literature that engages in creativity in general and in creativity in teaching in particular.The chapters collected in the book present the multifaceted nature of geometry teaching in a creative-integrated way while exposing the readers to the beauty of geometry.
The theme ofthe conference at which the papers in this book were presented was'Systems Thinking in Europe'. Members of the United Kingdom Systems Society (UKSS) were conscious that the systems movementflourishes notonly in the UK, America and the Antipodes, but also in continental Europe, both East and West, and in the USSR, a nation increasingly being welcomed by the European comity. Membership of the UKSS had not perhaps had the opportunity, however, of hearing important new ideas from continental Europe, and this conference provided an opportunity to do so. Some interesting papers are to be found here from both the West and the East, if the editors may be forgiven for perpetuating what ma...
Gathering scholars from five continents, this edited book displaces the elitist image of cosmopolitan as well as the blame addressed to aesthetic cosmopolitanism often considered as merely cosmetic. By considering aesthetic cosmopolitanism as a tool to understand how individuals and social groups appropriate the sphere of culture in a global world, the authors are concerned with its operationalization on two strongly interwoven levels, macro and micro, structural and individual. Based on the discussion of theoretical perspectives and empirically grounded research (qualitative and quantitative, conducted in many countries), this volume unveils new insights, on tourism and food, architecture and museums, TV series and movies, rock, K-pop and samba, by providing resources for making sense of aesthetic preferences in a global perspective. Contributors are: Felicia Chan, Vincenzo Cicchelli, Talitha Alessandra Ferreira, Paula Iadevito, Sukhmani Khorana, Anne Krebs, Antoinette Kujilaars, Franck Mermier, Sylvie Octobre, Joana Pellerano, Rosario Radakovich, Motti Regev, Viviane Riegel, Clara Rodriguez, Leslie Sklair, Yi-Ping Eva Shi, Claire Thoumelin and Dario Verderame.
