Ken Robinson Knihy

Všichni se rodíme s ohromnými přirozenými schopnostmi, ovšem čím déle jsme na světě, tím více jich ztratíme. Příliš mnoho z nás nikdy nevyužije svých skutečných schopností, a nevíme proto, co všechno bychom mohli dokázat. Abychom ze sebe i z druhých dostali to nejlepší, musíme najít svou vášeň, probudit svůj talent – musíme se vrhnout do svého živlu. Ken Robinson nabízí širší pohled na lidské schopnosti a kreativitu a na prospěch, který nám všem přináší, když lépe využíváme svého nadání a zálib.

Designed for busy small animal practitioners, this manual offers concise, practical guidance on canine veterinary care. Authored by experienced veterinarians, it addresses common uncertainties faced in consultations, emphasizing traditional systems-based medicine alongside essential practice skills like consultation techniques.

Ken Robinson explores the importance of creativity and innovation in education and the workplace. He argues that traditional educational systems often stifle creativity, advocating for a reimagined approach that nurtures individual talents and promotes critical thinking. Through engaging anecdotes and thought-provoking insights, Robinson emphasizes the need for a more holistic and personalized learning experience, one that values diverse intelligences and prepares individuals for a rapidly changing world. His work inspires educators and leaders to foster environments where creativity can thrive.

"Imagination and creativity are at the root of every uniquely human achievement and those achievements have brought us to this present moment. We are now the largest population in human history: seven and half billion people, rising to nine billion by 2050. Our technologies are evolving exponentially, but spiritually and emotionally, we're not keeping pace. Our appetites are straining the earth's capacity to sustain us, and our attempts to force it to do so are fuelling a holocaust of other species. Communities across the globe are still locked in ancient cultural conflicts, and while the majority of people are materially more comfortable than ever before, there are global epidemics of depression and anxiety. To meet these existential challenges, we have to harness our creativity to a more compassionate and sustainable vision of the world we want to live in and the lives we hope to lead. To do that, we have to create new systems of education for the future and for our children that are based on organic principles of diversity, creativity, and collaboration." -- Publisher's description

From the Back Cover: "It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way and you release resources and give people back to themselves. To realize our true creative potential —in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities— we need to think differently about ourselves and to act differently towards each other. We must learn to be creative." —Ken Robinson
