Bio design nature science creativity
Bioluminescent algae, symbiotic aquariums, self-healing concrete, clavicle wind instruments and structures made from living trees - biology applied outside the lab has never been so intriguing, or so beautiful.

The revised and expanded edition features twelve new projects (replacing ten existing projects): Hy-Fi (by David Benjamin); One Central Park, Sydney (Jean Nouvel); Guard from Above (Sjoerd Hoogendoorn); Cell-laden Hydrogels for Biocatalysis (Alshakim Nelson); Zoa (Modern Meadow); Amino Labs (Julie Legault); Algae and Mycelium Projects (Eric Klarenbeek); Interwoven and Harvest (Diane Scherer); Concrete Honey (John Becker); Bistro In Vitro (Koert van Mensvoort); Circumventive Organs (Agi Haines); Quantworm Mine (Liv Bargman and Nina Cutler).

Sázka a jiné povídky/Eine Wette...
Dvojjazyčné, německo-české vydání povídek německého spisovatele, autora románů Goya, Lišky na vinici, Židovka z Toleda a dalších. Feuchtwangerovy povídky vznikaly v širokém rozmezí od třicátých let až po dobu emigrace ve Spojených státech po roce 1941. Psychologicky zaměřené povídky se zaměřují na vztahy mezi lidmi zasazené do dobových souvislostí, jak je tomu například v povídce Dům na Zelené cestě, který vypráví o konfliktu historika s nastupující fašistickou mocí (není bez zajímavosti, že povídka vznikla v roce 1942, ale je napsána, jako by byla válka už skončila).

The Reinvention of Humanity
*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*
'Magnificent' Guardian / 'Hugely informative and adhesively readable' Sunday Times
The Reinvention of Humanity tells the riveting story of a small circle of renegade scientist-explorers who changed something profound: what it means to be normal.
In the early twentieth century, these pioneering anthropologists, most of them women, made intrepid journeys that overturned our assumptions about race, sexuality, gender and the nature of human diversity. From the Arctic to the South Pacific, from Haiti to Japan, they immersed themselves in distant or isolated communities, where they observed and documented radically different approaches to love and child-rearing, family structure and the relationship between women and men. With this evidence they were able to challenge the era's scientific consensus - and deep-rooted Western belief - that intelligence, ability and character are determined by a person's race or sex, and show that the roles people play in society are shaped in fact according to the immense variety of human cultures.
Theirs were boundary-breaking lives, filled with scandal, romance, rivalry and tragedy. Those of Margaret Mead and her essential partner Ruth Benedict resulted in fame and notoriety. Those of Native American activist Ella Deloria and the African-American writer and ethnographer Zora Neale Hurston ended in poverty and obscurity; here their achievements are brought fully into the light for the first time. All were outsiders, including the controversial founder of their field, the wild-haired professor, German immigrant and revolutionary thinker, Franz Boas.
The Reinvention of Humanity takes us on their globe-spanning adventures and shows how, together, these courageous and unconventional people created the moral universe we inhabit today.

Ne mondd, hogy szeretsz
Légy önmagad! Légy az enyém!
Zora szeret láthatatlan lenni.
Nem akar barátokat, nem akar senkit közel engedni magához, nem akar újból csalódni. Hosszú ujjú ruhák, erős smink és elutasító tekintet mögé rejtőzik, nehogy újra bízni kezdjen, aztán felfedezzék a múltját, és megint megbántsák.
Dominik arra vágyik, hogy valaki végre őt lássa.
Otthon csak az eredményeire figyelnek, míg az osztálytársai azt nézik, mennyire menő cuccai vannak, de egyetlen barátjának sem árulhatja el, milyen sokat jelent neki a rajzolás.
Azonban mindkettejük számára van egy hely, ahol lazíthatnak, ahol önmaguk lehetnek, ahol talán végre találhatnak igazi barátokat:
a tetoválószalon.
Zora ősz óta recepciós ott, Dominik pedig felbukkan, mint reménybeli tetováló. Muszáj szóba állniuk egymással, kénytelenek meglátni a másik valódi arcát,
és lassan közeledni kezdenek.
Izgalmas regény az őszinteségről, az útkeresésről, és egy finoman kialakuló szerelemről.
Ki lapul az álarcod alatt?

Lost in translantion

Or that there's a Swedish word that means a traveller's particular sense of anticipation before a trip? Lost in Translation brings the nuanced beauty of language to life with 50 beautiful ink illustrations. The words and definitions range from the lovely, such as goya, the Urdu word to describe the transporting suspension of belief that can occur in good storytelling, to the funny, like the Hawaiian pana po'o, which describes the act of scratching your head to remember something you've forgotten. This is a collection is full of surprises that will make you savour the wonderful, elusive, untranslatable words that make up a language.

Mortdecai Film Tie
Don't Point That Thing At Me by Kyril Bonfiglioli - Book 1 of the Mortdecai Trilogy, now a major motion picture starring Johnny Depp Introducing the Hon. Charlie Mortdecai, art dealer, aristocrat and assassin, in the first of the Mortdecai novels Portly art dealer and seasoned epicurean Charlie Mortdecai comes into possesion of a stolen Goya, the disappearance of which is causing a diplomatic ruction between Spain and its allies. Not that that matters to Charlie...until compromising pictures of some British diplomats also come into his possession and start to muddy the waters. All he's trying to do is make a dishonest living, but various governments, secret organizations and an unbelievably nubile young German don't see it that way and pretty soon he's in great need of his thuggish manservant Jock to keep them all at bay...and the Goya safe. First published in the 1970s, this hilarious novel is part Ian Fleming part P G Wodehouse. It is now a major motion picture starring Johnny Depp as Mortdecai, Ewan McGregor as Jock and Gwyneth Paltrow. "A rare mixture of wit and imaginative unpleasantness." (Julian Barnes). "You couldn't snuggle under the duvet with anything more disreputable and delightful." (Stephen Fry). "The jokes are excellent, but the most horrible things keep happening...Funny and chilling." (Sunday Telegraph). Kyril Bonfiglioli was born on the south coast of England in 1928 of an English mother and Italo-Slovene father. After studying at Oxford and five years in the army, he took up a career as an art dealer, like his eccentric creation Charlie Mortdecai. He lived in Oxford, Lancashire, Ireland and Jersey, where he died in 1985. He wrote four Charlie Mortdecai novels, and a fifth historical Mortdecai novel (about a distinguished ancestor).
Master Pints Close-up
Is a work of art still a work of art if it exists in several hundred identical examples? This illuminating introduction to masterpieces of printmaking reveals why prints can be considered to be every bit as original as any other visual art form. Offering a fresh look at printmaking, this stunningly illustrated book explores through magnified details the subtle differences in texture, shading, line, tone and colour that an artist can achieve in engravings, etchings, lithography and screen printing. The book discusses forty-five individual prints to highlight the genius of major historical and contemporary printmakers such as Durer, Rembrandt, Goya, Cezanne, Edward Hopper and Chuck Close. "Master Prints Close-Up" also includes a glossary of printmaking techniques, together with indicators for recognising them.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Agyar
A stalker életében egyszer eljön az a pillanat, amikor már nem is tudja, miért megy a Zónába. Úgy vonzódik hozzá, mint gyermek az anyjához, mint vadállat az itatóhoz, mint virág a naphoz. Nem tudja, mit eredményez az útja, csak azt, hogy kezével rejtélyeket és szentségeket fog kiszakítani a Zóna méhéből.
Néhány év után a stalker függővé válik. Nem élhet a Zóna nélkül. Nem tud meglenni a halálos kockázat nélkül, az őt körülvevő csend nélkül, a feje fölötti bágyadt napfény nélkül. Próbáld meg fél évre bezárni a négy fal közé, és megtapasztalhatod, milyen a stalker a Zóna nélkül.
Pedig folyamatos küzdelem az élete: ki a fogát hagyja ott, ki csak valamelyik testrészét. Stalker volt, de most nyomorék, aki már nem mehet a Zónába. Végzete arra ítélte, hogy ott éljen a közelében, hallja hívását, lássa, ahogy szerencsésebb bajtársai elmennek és visszatérnek, s meghaljon a vágytól, mely már soha sem válhat valóra.
A legtöbb stalker életében eljön a végső összecsapás ideje is, amikor határoznia kell: boldogan hal meg a csatában, vagy életben marad, emberi roncsként. Ez egy nagyon fontos döntés, mindenki a saját képességei szerint hozza meg: megtáncoltatni ellenségeit egy halálos forgatagban, és egyesülni velük a Zóna időtlenségében, vagy feladni egy részt saját belső világából, és megmenteni azt, ami ezután már alig ér valamit: az életét.
Az igazi stalker megérzi, amikor eljön a végső csata ideje. És ezt mindenki másképp éli meg. De ha felfogtad, ha megragadtad, ha beléd ivódott, akkor neked már semmit sem kell elmagyarázni. Az utolsó pillanat, átitatva a csata gyönyörűségével - mi lehet ennél szebb?

Misere
The coming of the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century witnessed unprecedented changes in society: rapid economic progress went hand-in-hand with appalling working conditions, displacement, squalor and destitution for those at the bottom of the social scale. These new circumstances presented a challenge to contemporary image-makers, who wished to capture the effects of hunger, poverty and alienation in Britain, Ireland and France in the era before documentary photography. In this groundbreaking book, the eminent art historian Linda Nochlin examines the styles and expressive strategies that were used by artists and illustrators to capture this misere, roughly characterized as poverty that afflicts both body and soul. She investigates images of the Irish Famine in the period 1846–51; the gendered representation of misery, particularly of poor women and prostitutes; and the work of three very different artists: Théodore Géricault, Gustave Courbet and the less wellknown Fernand Pelez. The artists’ desire to depict the poor and the outcast accurately and convincingly is still a pertinent issue, though now, as Nochlin observes, the question has a moral and ethical dimension – does the documentary style belittle its subjects and degrade their condition?

Rooster Bar
#1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham's newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that's on shaky ground.
Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.
But maybe there's a way out. Maybe there's a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no . . .
Pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and get ready to spend some time at The Rooster Bar.

Charlie es un niña rubia, de ojos azules, educada y cariñosa. Pero también es piroquinética. Sí, puede encender fuego a distancia, desde inofensivas fogatas hasta hogueras voraces. Y si posee estas capacidades a los siete años, horroriza pensar en sus poderes destructores cuando sea adulta. Aunque, la verdad, tiene pocas probabilidades de llegar a la edad adulta. Porque el servicio secreto norteamericano encargado de realizar investigaciones científicas y paracientíficas para su aplicación militar ha decidido estudiar a Charlie y luego eliminarla, tal como estudió y eliminó a sus padres después de haberlos utilizado en sus experimentos... «King ha creado una pequeña joya.» Chicago Tribune
