Dear All (III.)

  • Categories: Art

Monografie je třetím svazkem edice zabývající se korespondencí Bohuslava Martinů s jeho rodinou v Poličce. Tento svazek obsahuje 56 korespondenčních dokumentů z let 1934 a 1935. Jedná se o korespondenci jednostrannou, dochovaly se pouze dopisy B. Martinů adresované rodině. I přesto lze v těchto dokumentech nacházet unikátní autentická sdělení, v nichž sám Martinů komentuje svou životní i profesní cestu, aby své informace, záměry či postoje sděloval nejbližším rodinným příslušníkům, ale často jejich prostřednictvím i širšímu okruhu přátel v Poličce a v Československu. Dopisy jsou v české verzi předkládány v diplomatickém přepisu vče...

Shmuel Hugo Bergmann

In recent years, the interest on life and work of the Jewish writer, philosopher, mystic and politician Shmuel Hugo Bergmann (1883–1975) has perceptibly increased. Well-known as a protagonist of the famous "Prague Circle", Bergmann headed for Palestine in 1920, became the driving force for building the Jewish National Library in Jerusalem and finally advanced as first Rector of the Hebrew University. All his life, close ties to the Czech Republic remained. In the State of Israel, Bergmann became a leading philosopher and highly admired cultural figure. He himself showed great interest in world religions, mysticism, and Western esotericism. Bergmann also emerged as an important point of ref...

During the 1970s the todays Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung, BMBWF) supported the founding of the Center for Austrian Studies at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and the Austrian Chair at Stanford University in California. These foundings were the initial incentives for the worldwide 'spreading' of similar institutions; currently nine Centers for Austrian and Central European Studies exist in seven states on three continents.

Growth and Change in Post-socialist Cities of Central Europe

This book presents multidimensional socio-economic transformations taking place in the post-socialist cities located in selected countries of the Central European region. The analysis includes case studies from the Eastern part of Germany (Chemnitz, Leipzig), Poland (Łódź, Kielce, Katowice conurbation, and peripheral urban centres from Eastern Poland), Slovakia (Bratislava, Nitra), the Czech Republic (Olomouc, Brno), and from Hungary (Pécs). The analysed urban areas have undergone far-reaching political and socio-economic changes in the last 30 years. These changes began with the collapse of communism and the centrally planned economy system in the region of Central Europe. The beginning...

Information Sources in Law

The aim of each volume of this series Guides to Information Sources is to reduce the time which needs to be spent on patient searching and to recommend the best starting point and sources most likely to yield the desired information. The criteria for selection provide a way into a subject to those new to the field and assists in identifying major new or possibly unexplored sources to those who already have some acquaintance with it. The series attempts to achieve evaluation through a careful selection of sources and through the comments provided on those sources.

Illustrative electrical engineering in the primary school curriculum

Předložená monografie usiluje o přínos v oblasti výuky o elektrotechnice a zejména užití didaktických prostředků v podobě elektrotechnických stavebnic ve výuce současné školy, vymezením požadavků, které v souladu s cíli vyučovacího procesu a především s pedagogickou teorií jsou na tomto poli vyžadovány. V práci je shrnuta problematika elektrotechnických stavebnic z pohledu jejich aplikací v oblasti všeobecně pojatého technického vzdělávání, včetně formulace odpovědí na některé praktické problémy příslušné oborové didaktiky, jež jsou s nimi spojené. Součástí monografie jsou prezentovány výsledky v minulosti realizovaných výzkumných šetření.

Ethnic Diaspora Festivities in the Czech Republic

The publication reviews the festivities in the lives of immigrants who came to the Czech Republic after 1990 and who have since created new diasporas or established themselves as distinctive immigrant groups. Festivities are an important aspect of immigrants’ lives inside their social groups as they support the immigrants’ ethnic self-identification, strengthen their ties to their home country, and aid them in building a sense of belonging. The author elaborates on findings from research undertaken in various immigrant groups throughout the Czech Republic, focusing on the abandonment of festivities, their adaptation to the new environment, and the creation of new ones, while observing their social significance and cultural specificity.

Dynamics in GIscience

  • Publisher: Springer

This book is intended for researchers, practitioners and students who are interested in the current trends and want to make their GI applications and research dynamic. Time is the key element of contemporary GIS: mobile and wearable electronics, sensor networks, UAVs and other mobile snoopers, the IoT and many other resources produce a massive amount of data every minute, which is naturally located in space as well as in time. Time series data is transformed into almost (from the human perspective) continuous data streams, which require changes to the concept of spatial data recording, storage and manipulation. This book collects the latest innovative research presented at the GIS Ostrava 2017 conference held in 2017 in Ostrava, Czech Republic, under the auspices of EuroSDR and EuroGEO. The accepted papers cover various aspects of dynamics in GIscience, including spatiotemporal data analysis and modelling; spatial mobility data and trajectories; real-time geodata and real-time applications; dynamics in land use, land cover and urban development; visualisation of dynamics; open spatiotemporal data; crowdsourcing for spatiotemporal data and big spatiotemporal data.
