David Morgan

    1. leden 1960

    David Morgan je profesorem náboženských studií na Duke University. Jeho práce se zaměřuje na zkoumání vizuální kultury náboženství a na způsoby, jakými jsou náboženské představy a praxe formovány a interpretovány prostřednictvím obrazů a vizuálních médií. Zkoumá vztah mezi uměním a vírou a to, jak vizuální reprezentace ovlivňují naše chápání náboženských tradic a identit. Jeho přístup je interdisciplinární a kombinuje poznatky z oblasti náboženských studií, dějin umění a vizuálních studií k hlubšímu pochopení komplexní povahy náboženství v současném světě.

      5. října roku 1969 odvysílala televize na programu BBC první televizní skeč z Monty Pythonova Létajícího cirkusu (česky 1999 a 2000) a od té doby skupina britských komiků skrývající se za tímto jménem začala pomalu, ale jistě dobývat svět, až se dočkala v roce 1999 svého třicetiletého výročí, jež jejich nakladatelé oslavili spoustou reedic a nových shrnujících publikací. Jednou z nich je také tato, v níž, jak už napovídá název, vyprávějí Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones a Michael Palin svými slovy o tom, jak třicetileté trvání tohoto originálního seskupení vnímají, shrnují, hodnotí a komentují.

    • After playing 4 quarters of hard-fought football games, the Massillon Tiger football team gathered in a circle at the center of every football field they played on in 2019 to do 15 pushups--a pushup for every game it would take to lead them to the State Championship game. The mantra for the season became: 15 for 15. Each pushup is represented as a chapter in this book and a different piece of the puzzle that explains the football town of Massillon, Ohio. In this dramatic and entertaining book, Author and Tiger running back coach, David Lee Morgan, Jr. shares stories that offer a unique and unequaled perspective into the 2019 season and the Tigers' quest for that elusive state championship. The Massillon Tiger football program isn't a typical high school football program. It's a ministry of football with the first season dating back to 1894. The Massillon Tigers: 15 for 15 is the powerful tale of one of the most storied high school football programs anywhere in the country and their magical 2019 season, as told by an award-winning author and journalist who enjoyed unlimited access to the players, coaches, and families through his role as the running backs coach.

      Whipmaking is the highest refinement of the art of leather braiding. This revised edition introduces another major category of whips—those made in the Mongol tradition. Braiding details are shown in an extensive selection of photographs that also serve to document the geographic distribution of the whips; their historic use and characteristics are explained in detailed captions. A new chapter describes the evolution of a whip design that became world famous through its association with Hollywood. The whips used by Indiana Jones were all made by the author, David W. Morgan, and the films prompted an immediate revival of interest in whips for performance and sport use.
