Download or read book Academic Duets written by Marta Vohlídalová and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication offers portraits of 15 couples where both partners work in science, research or teach at a university. Interviews focused on issues related to dual career partnerships in science, the process of combining two highly demanding professional careers in science, the distribution of roles between the partners and the combination of work and family lives. The portraits capture academics in various life phases—from young people and doctoral candidates at the beginning of their careers to well-established scientists at the peak of their creative powers, to people who are gradually winding their research careers down. The theoretical introduction to the publication analyzes some of these issues: problems related to geographical mobility, the bad design of Czech family policy which does not correspond well to the needs of parents working in demanding scientific professions, or problems with stereotypes that people have about dual career partnerships in science. The interviews were conducted with both partners together, which makes them very dynamic, engaging and interesting. The partners confront their opinions, experiences, attitudes and worldviews. The interviews are also open and often touch upon the most intimate and private aspects of life. Because the study brings stories of people from various generations in various life stages and working in different disciplines, we can also see how various generations have managed to combine two demanding careers, and how the lives of scientists have changed over time. Last but not least, the interviews also contain invaluable observations and reflections related to contemporary science and scientific work and the issue of combining work and parenthood.

Download or read book Painless Birth written by Lucie Suchá Groverová and published by Radek Suchý Grover - Nakladatelství Kořeny. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is natural painless childbirth a myth or reality? The intent of the book is neither to give universal guidelines nor to compete with the work and methods of Midwives, doulas or other related professions. You won't even find recommendations concerning diet or physical exercise here. Those are pieces of information that you can read in books written by many outstanding authors. The purpose of the book is to pass on personal experience, to show a slightly different point of view and to introduce pregnancy and birth as the woman's work on her own personal development. We are all holding the birth pain as well as the whole experience of birth in our own hands. Based on personal experience and story. "The book should be welcomed as a golden opportunity to reinforce the power modern physiology has to challenge thousands of years of cultural conditioning. It can help us to be aware of a sudden paradigm shift regarding our understanding of the birth process and particularly our interpretation of labour pain." From the foreword by Michel Odent, M.D. (author of 13 books including Birth Reborn, Chidbirth and the Future of Homo Sapiens)

Download or read book Touching and Imagining written by Jan Svankmajer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jan Aevankmajer wrote this remarkable book on tactile art when he stopped directing films after censorship by the Czechoslovakian government and experimented intensively with tactile phenomena and the creative imagination. Illustrated with over 100 images, the book is organised around many reproductions of Aevankmajer's wondrous tactile art objects, tactile poems, experiments and games. It also includes dialogues with, and artworks by, other collaborating artists from the Group of Czech and Slovak Surrealists. Aevankmajer also gathers together as contributors such notable exponents of tactual experience as Edgar Allen Poe, Guillaume Apollinaire, Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Meret Oppenheim, Ay-O, and F.T. Marinetti. Michael Havas, producer of some of Aevankmajer's films, says of the book: 'it is typically Aevankmajer: erudite and very consequential. Sometimes also very funny and erotic. Totally unique.'

Download or read book Not From Above written by Alexander Mayor and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not From Above! is the debut collection of stories from musician Alexander Mayor (who releases music under the name Alexander’s Festival Hall). It’s a series of what-ifs, how-abouts and darkly comic thought experiments, populated by central Asian dictators with overreaching literary ambitions, anxious young spies pursued on canals, passive aggressive board games, and starship captains who really need to learn to prioritise. These are tales of decisive moments for indecisive people. Dating becomes rather more dangerous and ‘promenade theatre’ a little too immersive. Adventures are undertaken largely by mistake, in stories that catalogue the increasingly esoteric ways Londoners try to keep themselves amused. And of course, there’s that moment when a breakdown on a country road might just be the start of something promising... * Not From Above! is also an album of twelve upbeat, lush and romantic pop songs from Alexander’s Festival Hall – see inside the book for download details. www.alexandersfestivalhall.org
