Enter a world populated by private eyes, gangsters, psychopaths, and femmes fatales, where deception, lust, and betrayal run rampant. This film-by-film photography book on film noir and neo-noir begins with the early genre influencers of German and French silent film, journeys through such seminal works such as Double Indemnity, The Postman Always Rings Twice, and Vertigo, and arrives at the present day via Chinatown, Pulp Fiction, Heat, and the recent cult favorite Drive. Entries include posters, tons of rare stills, cast/crew details, quotes from the films and from critics, and analyses of the films. Film director, film noir scholar, and Taxi Driver screenwriter Paul Schrader provides the introduction to this feast of noir worship. Populated by the genre's most revered directors, like Hitchcock, Wilder, Welles, Polanski, Mann, and Scorsese, the book also pays homage to its iconic faces, including Mitchum, Bogart, Hayworth, Bergman, Grant, Bacall, Crawford, Nicholson, Pacino, and so many more.

These photographs of once top-secret institutes reveal both fantastical and futuristic technology, alongside crumbling and decrepit facilities, forming a unique document of the condition and situation of scientific research in the post-Soviet landscape. In Soviet Scientific Institutes photographer Eric Lusito takes us on a journey through time, space and science. Gigantic control panels, monumental telescopes, inexplicable machinery - the facilities he documents might be found in comic book and graphic novel fantasies or the science fiction of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. But why were these institutes built and what purposes do they serve today? The Soviets promoted science as a utopian ideal to replace religion and rapidly modernise the country. 'Big science' projects, primarily for Cold War military purposes, involved thousands of researchers working in complete secrecy. In the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many institutes were left destitute, their sophisticated technology condemned to extinction. But some scientists persevered, adapting to the new landscape. Today, defying the odds, they persist - even in wartime - to continue their work. Lusito gained unique access to sites across former republics and satellites of the USSR - from a cosmic ray research centre in the remote Armenian mountains, to one of the world's largest radars located in Ukraine, which locals believed to be a climate-altering weapon. The first visual account of this once closed world, this awe-inspiring publication bears witness to our never-ending quest for knowledge.

As the most comprehensive publication on Marcel Duchamp to date, this lavishly illustrated volume spans six decades of his creative output, offering a sumptuous visual introduction for newcomers and serving as an indispensable resource for artists and scholars. More than any other modern artist, Marcel Duchamp challenged and transformed the very definition of art. Published to accompany the first North American retrospective of his work in more than fifty years, organized by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Philadelphia Art Museum, the exhibition and catalogue leverage two of the most important collections of Duchamp’s art in the world to bring together legendary works for the first time in decades. Lavishly illustrated with more than 300 works spanning six decades?including painting, sculpture, readymades, film, photography, and ephemera?and featuring a deeply researched chronology interwoven with archival and documentary material, Marcel Duchamp offers a new generation the first opportunity to experience the breadth of Duchamp’s revolutionary work. An expansive introduction by curators Ann Temkin, Michelle Kuo, and Matthew Affron explores Duchamp’s radical rethinking of art and the museum, transformation of authorship, innovative exhibition and installation displays, and a lifelong dedication to changing the relationship between art and life. Revealing new dimensions of his conceptual brilliance, subversive wit, and lasting impact on generations of artists, Marcel Duchamp is a rich visual compendium and an essential scholarly resource for anyone seeking to understand an artist who changed the course of modern art.

Ancient enemies, powerful foes. Where the orks and the Imperium collide, there is only war. The Black Templars stand against the orks' destruction and Astra Militarum soldiers fight for survival on Hive World Armageddon. The orks contend with the costs of their outlandish schemes and bold quests for power. But while they delight in their search for their next big fight, the Green Tide is just one of the many perils the Imperium faces in the brutal galaxy. In the darkness, the Ruinous Powers threaten disaster, and an inquisitor must reckon with the Space Wolves' dangerous secret… This explosive anthology features stories from some of Black Library's most-loved authors, including Dan Abnett, Guy Haley, Mike Brooks and more.

Kniha shrnuje výsledky bádání, které na příkladu raně středověké Moravy popisují proces formování raně středověké slovanské společnosti ve střední Evropě. Ve druhé polovině prvního tisíciletí n. l. proběhla na území dnešní Moravy hluboká společenská transformace. Morava byla v té době místem, kde žili lidé společného habitu, tradičně označovaní jako Slované, kteří se ve střední Evropě poprvé objevili s koncem doby stěhování národů. Předpokládá se, že Slované zprvu žili v otevřené společnosti s nižší životní úrovní (6.–7. století). V průběhu 8. stol. byla tato společnost patrně pod vlivem vnějšího tlaku nahrazena hierarchicky strukturovanou společností s normativní regulací, v níž se začala vytvářet nová vrstva nobility. Hlavním cílem této knihy je publikování archeologických nálezů, terénních informací a dalšího empirického materiálu, které byly získány na Pohansku u Břeclavi a v jeho širším okolí (Břeclav-Lány, Břeclav-Líbivá, Kostice-Zadní hrúd) v posledních 30 letech, a to na sídlištích datovaných od 6. do 8. stol. (RS1/550–650 n. l. a RS2/650–800 n. l.). Na základě těchto dat lze formulovat některé dílčí závěry a interpretace o společenských procesech, které vedly v konečném důsledku k zformování nového typu raně středověké společnosti na území dnešní Moravy, konkrétně v prostoru dolního Podyjí.

The Valkyries – fierce daughters of battle, riders of storm and shadow. They choose the slain and carry souls to glory, moving between mortal and divine. These fierce but angelic warrior goddesses escort half of those who have died in battle to Odin's hall of heroes: Valhalla. There they receive the heroes with horns of mead. But there is so much more to these heavily symbolic beings. The Valkyries are many and amorphous, some are named and famous – Brunhild (powerful and defiant), Gunnr (courageous in battle), Skuld (a Norn but also a Valkyrie) to name a few – while others exist in the shadows. This new collection features stories that tell the Valkyries’ own back stories, and echo their power: tales of fate, war, sacrifice and the mythic eternal. Stories selected from open submissions explore and expand on the classic tales and imagine completely new narratives. With an extensive new introduction to the ancient origins and stories, this powerful new title offers fresh perspectives on compelling characters. Introductory essay by Nancy Marie Brown, and foreword by Jóhanna Katrín Fri?riksdóttir. The modern authors whose stories feature in this book are: Ryaan Akmal, Don Bisdorf, Kay Hanifen, Ikechukwu Henry, E.K. Larson-Burnett, JB Riley, Laura Shenton, Nina Shepardson, Zac Sherman, D.L. Stille, Susanna Fraser Stone, Deborah Tapper, Benjamin Thomas, M.M. Williams, Mae Wilmarth, Johanna Wittenberg and Ernie Xu. About the series: Discover the mythology of humankind through its heroes, characters, gods and immortal figures. Myths, Gods & Immortals brings together the new and the ancient, familiar stories with a fresh and imaginative twist. Each book brings back to life a legendary, mythological or folkloric figure, with new stories alongside a comprehensive introduction which tells the original tales and emphasizes ancient and modern connections, tracing history and stories across continents, cultures and peoples. New and emerging writers from open submissions reveal hidden themes, casting fresh perspectives on well known stories, complementing the specially commissioned story of the origins and the cultural background from the era. Existing titles are Medusa, Odin, Anansi, Circe, Achilles, Morgana le Fay, Aphrodite and Loki.

When Flemish engraver and publisher Theodore de Bry issued the first volume of his America series in 1590, the New World was truly novel for most Europeans. Gleaned from the travel accounts of adventurers like Thomas Harriot, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Walter Raleigh, De Bry's magnificent engravings brought the new continent and its inhabitants to an enraptured audience across the Atlantic. From "Virginia" (today's North Carolina) and Florida to Central America and down into Patagonia, the first nine volumes of America depict scenery and encounters between Native Americans and Europeans, revealing the latter's perceptions of the former. Portrayals of European discovery and Native American customs were based on the explorers' reports as well as De Bry's own imagination - he himself never traveled to the New World. Although based in Frankfurt, De Bry laid the foundations of the series while in London, collaborating with artists John White and Jacques Le Moyne, whose original watercolors he adapted for the opening two volumes. With his sons, De Bry formed a family enterprise known for exquisite copper engravings and high-quality illustrations unrivaled in their mastery. The legacy of America is profound, coloring Europe's earliest visions of the Atlantic world. Throughout the following centuries, countless European illustrations would draw inspiration from the spectacular collection. TASCHEN's edition pays homage to De Bry's finesse, reprinting all 218 plates from the first nine volumes alongside their respective frontispieces and continental maps. Volumes I to VI are based on the original hand-colored editions held at the John Hay and John Carter Brown Libraries at Brown University in Providence; volumes VII to IX are from the Staats- und Stadtbibliothek in Augsburg, Germany. Exceptionally rare even at the time of completion, De Bry's hand-colored America can finally be admired by all.

Oblíbená monografie shrnuje poznatky obecné státovědy, která představuje základ pro další studium ústavního práva. Na publikaci navazuje II. díl Ústavní právo a státověda. Ústavní právo České republiky. Z recenzních posudků: Recenzovaná kolektivní monografie jedenácti autorů pod vedením profesora Václava Pavlíčka představuje čtvrté aktualizované vydání učebnice obecné státovědy. Tato aktualizace se týká reakce na nové vědecké poznatky publikované v odborné literatuře, spojené například s evropskou integrací. Kniha přináší nejen sumu poznatků o předmětu, kterým je stát v komplexu jeho projevů a historické dynamiky, ale kriticky konfrontuje ideální a rozmanité dimenze států, jejich typů a forem uspořádání a fungování, s aspekty sociální a politické reality a historickými i recentními vývojovými tendencemi. prof. JUDr. Aleš Gerloch, CSc. S novým vydáním tato kolektivní monografie nejenže neztratila na své dosavadní vysoké úrovni, ale naopak její kvalita se zvýšila v důsledku doplnění nových informací, poznatků i zdrojů, z nichž autoři jednotlivých kapitol čerpali. Monografie si zachovává svůj původní ráz nikoli strohého teoreticko-akademického výkladu, ale i nadále je na mnoha místech doplněna vhodnými praktickými příklady umožňujícími si lépe osvojit podávaný výklad. Jedná se tedy o odbornou monografii, jejíž precizně zpracovaný výklad ke všem stěžejním institutům vědního oboru státovědy ocení široké spektrum čtenářů. Ať už půjde o studenta pregraduálního či postgraduálního studia, nebo i o zájemce o obor státovědy z řad právníků, politologů, politiků, historiků či pedagogů, každý jistě ocení zejména komplexní a profesionální přístup celého autorského kolektivu ke zpracování jednotlivých kapitol. Tato odborná monografie tak ve svém celku tvoří vynikající předstupeň pro studium (nejen) ústavního práva, o němž pojednává druhý díl učebnice Ústavní právo a státověda. doc. JUDr. Monika Forejtová, Ph.D.

Antologie tajemných i mrazivých povídek o minulosti, která ne a ne zůstat minulostí. Dvanáct českých autorek a autorů ve svých příbězích zpracovalo téma starých hříchů i dobře střežených tajemství. Rádi doufáme, že to, o čem se nemluví, jednou přestane existovat, snad jako by se to ani nestalo. Jenže ono nic z toho tak docela nezmizí. A záhadné kočky, tarotové karty, bludné duše i nečekaně odražené kulky dávají tušit, že vše nevyhnutelně spěje k odhalení nehezké pravdy.
