Beyond
A young Russian sits inside a tiny capsule on top of the Soviet Union's most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile - originally designed to carry a nuclear warhead - and blasts into the skies. His name is Yuri Gagarin and he is about to make history. Travelling at almost 18,000 miles per hour - ten times faster than a rifle bullet - Gagarin circles the globe in just 106 minutes.
While his launch begins in total secrecy, within hours of his landing he has become a world celebrity - the first human to leave the planet. Beyond tells the thrilling story behind that epic flight on its sixtieth anniversary. It happened at the height of the Cold War as the US and USSR confronted each other across an Iron Curtain.
Both superpowers took enormous risks to get a man into space first - the Americans in the full glare of the media, the Soviets under deep cover. Both trained their teams of astronauts to the edges of the endurable. In the end the race between them would come down to the wire.
Drawing on extensive original research and the vivid testimonies of eyewitnesses, many of whom have never spoken before, Stephen Walker unpacks secrets that were hidden for decades and takes the reader into the drama - featuring the scientists, engineers and political leaders on both sides, and above all the American astronauts and their Soviet rivals battling for supremacy in the heavens.

Beyond Compliance - Implementace rozhodnutí mezinárodních lidskoprávních těles na národní úrovni
„Předkládaná publikace přináší pestrou paletu pohledů na promítání rozsudků mezinárodních mechanismů do vnitrostátního práva. Na straně rozhodovacího tělesa akcentuje především judikaturu Evropského soudu pro lidská práva, nevyhýbá se však ani rozhodovací činnosti Mezinárodního soudního dvora, mezinárodních rozhodčích orgánů či smluvních výborů OSN. Na straně adresáta vedle vrcholných českých a slovenských soudů neopomíjí ani legislativu či exekutivu.
K pozitivům publikace patří skutečnost, že autoři mají skutečně co říct a čtenáři nabízejí různorodou optiku, která se vhodně doplňuje – od teoretických pojednání přes výsledky empirických bádání, až po pohledy za oponu od insiderů. Některé kapitoly posouvají poznání toho, co už bylo zachyceno jinde, nebo co lze dlouhodobějším pozorováním vytušit, navazují a rozvíjejí známé, nicméně zejména kapitoly věnující se legislativě přináší skutečně nové znalosti.
Výsledná publikace má každopádně už v dnešní podobě potenciál stát se referenční knihou ve svém oboru na roky dopředu.“
Mgr. Ľubomír Majerčík, LL.M., vedoucí analytického odboru Ústavního soudu
„První pocity čtenáře, který otevře předkládanou knihu, berou dech. Autorský kolektiv lze bez nadsázky označit za československý lidskoprávní all-star team. Už samotnou skutečnost, že se podařilo takový tým sestavit, je proto nutné vyzdvihnout a ocenit. To platí i pro téma knihy. Její vydání v nejbližších měsících bude mít po mém soudu velký význam. Minimálně na úrovni České republiky totiž pociťuji jistý judikatorní ústup od (mezinárodně) nastavených lidskoprávních standardů. Ivo Pospíšil ve své kapitole píše, že třetí Ústavní soud ve své judikatuře vykazuje ve vztahu k mezinárodním lidskoprávním závazkům „stabilní netečnost“. Já dokonce pociťuji, že pokud se třetí Ústavní soud v tomto ohledu něčím vyznačuje, je to spíše něco, co Petr Pithart v jiném kontextu označil za „račí krok“. Až příliš často totiž v poslední době u Zemanova Ústavního soudu narážíme na nálezy, které se tváří v tvář mezinárodním lidskoprávním rozhodnutím musí „červenat“. Proto obrovsky vítám knihu, která, jak pevně věřím, dostane otázku compliance s rozhodnutími mezinárodních lidskoprávních těles na československé úrovni opět do popředí zájmu.“

Beyond the Street
Street art has established itself as an integral part of the art world in the last few years. The crossover from subculture to high culture is illustrated by the recent attention that this work has been given by renowned institutions such as the Tate Modern and Fondation Cartier as well as by auction houses like Sotheby s. The topic is discussed in art magazines and the cultural pages of leading newspapers and is featured in the syllabuses of art and design schools. As interest soared, the need for information about street art grew. But, until now, there was no insightful view into the thought and work processes of a reticent, heterogeneous scene whose would-be members often don t even identify with the label. Comprised of interviews with 100 key players from around the world, Beyond the Street offers a comprehensive examination of street and urban art. Insiders Patrick Nguyen and Stuart Mackenzie question each of their subjects on every conceivable aspect of t he genre from the past to the future, from the artists ideals to their daily lives, from working in complete freedom to working in the art and commercial worlds. The thought-provoking range of answers make the 400-page book an incomparably extensive source of direct, unfiltered information. Beyond the Street features interviews with leading artists such as Shepard Fairey, Swoon, and Os Gemeos. The book also offers the views of representatives of the most important sales outlets for street art including Jeffrey Deitch and Jonathan LeVine Gallery. In addition, curators from auction houses such as Christie s and Phillips de Pury comment on the development of street art in a classical art context. Interviews with key commentators, collectors, and enthusiasts such as Martha Cooper, Wooster Collective, and Agnes B. provide further insight. Brought together, these separate and distinct perspectives create a uniquely authentic collective portrait of street and urban art that is capt ivating, informative, and entertaining. Each interview in Beyond the Street is richly illustrated with photographs of an inspiring collection of work. In addition to presenting outdoor work, the book also features the pieces that the artists have created for exhibitions and other indoor spaces. The commercial aspect of the street art movement is rigorously documented for the first time. Among the photographs featured are a number of images of the artists studios or the artists themselves at work, providing a rare glimpse into their methods and environments. Features: 12ozProphet.

Beyond the Wall
In 1990, a country disappeared. When the Iron Curtain fell, East Germany simply ceased to be. For over forty years, from the ruin of the Second World War to the cusp of a new millennium, the GDR presented a radically different German identity to anything that had come before, and anything that exists today. Socialist solidarity, secret police, central planning, barbed wire: this was a Germany forged on the fault lines of ideology and geopolitics.
In Beyond the Wall, acclaimed historian Katja Hoyer offers a kaleidoscopic new vision of this vanished country. Beginning with the bitter experience of German Marxists exiled by Hitler, she traces the arc of the state they would go on to create, first under the watchful eye of Stalin, and then in an increasingly distinctive German fashion. From the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961, to the relative prosperity of the 1970s, and on to the creaking foundations of socialism in the mid-1980s, Hoyer argues that amid oppression and frequent hardship, East Germany was yet home to a rich political, social and cultural landscape, a place far more dynamic than the Cold War caricature often painted in the West.
Powerfully told, and drawing on a vast array of never-before-seen interviews, letters and records, this is the definitive history of the other Germany, the one beyond the Wall.

Beyond Black
Introducing the Collins Modern Classics, a series featuring some of the most significant books of recent times, books that shed light on the human experience - classics which will endure for generations to come. Alison Hart, a medium by trade, tours the dormitory towns of London's orbital ring road with her flint-hearted sidekick, Colette, passing on messages from beloved dead ancestors. But behind her plump, smiling persona hides a desperate woman: she knows the terrors the next life holds but must conceal them from her wide-eyed clients.
At the same time she is plagued by spirits from her own past, who infiltrate her body and home, becoming stronger and nastier the more she resists... Shortlisted for the Orange Prize, Hilary Mantel's supremely suspenseful novel is a masterpiece of dark humour and even darker secrets.

Good night, Džerzy
Polský spisovatel Janusz Głowacki vytváří barvitý psychologický a sociální obraz, v němž se scény ze života Jerzyho Kosińského střídají s příběhem vypravěče, který o něm píše fi lmový scénář. Hlavní postavou neobyčejného románu Janusze Głowackého je Jerzy Kosiński, slavný americký spisovatel s polskými kořeny, jehož mezinárodní věhlas korunoval obrovský skandál, pád z výsluní americké kulturní elity a nakonec sebevražda. Životní příběh muže hledajícího za každou cenu důvod žít je zasazen do New Yorku 80. let. Nečekaně se však proměňuje i v příběhy lidí, kteří se stali součástí života tohoto polsko-amerického spisovatele. Včetně samotného autora. Janusz Głowacki zavede čtenáře do bizarních erotických klubů, vypráví smutné životní osudy ruských a polských emigrantů, neustále se pohybuje na nejasné hranici mezi pravdou a mystifikací.
Economics of Good and Evil
Tomas Sedlacek has shaken the study of economics as few ever have. Named one of the "Young Guns" and one of the "five hot minds in economics" by the Yale Economic Review, he serves on the National Economic Council in Prague, where his provocative writing has achieved bestseller status. How has he done it? By arguing a simple, almost heretical proposition: economics is ultimately about good and evil. In The Economics of Good and Evil, Sedlacek radically rethinks his field, challenging our assumptions about the world. Economics is touted as a science, a value-free mathematical inquiry, he writes, but it's actually a cultural phenomenon, a product of our civilization. It began within philosophy-Adam Smith himself not only wrote The Wealth of Nations, but also The Theory of Moral Sentiments-and economics, as Sedlacek shows, is woven out of history, myth, religion, and ethics. "Even the most sophisticated mathematical model," Sedlacek writes, "is, de facto, a story, a parable, our effort to (rationally) grasp the world around us." Economics not only describes the world, but establishes normative standards, identifying ideal conditions. Science, he claims, is a system of beliefs to which we are committed. To grasp the beliefs underlying economics, he breaks out of the field's confines with a tour de force exploration of economic thinking, broadly defined, over the millennia. He ranges from the epic of Gilgamesh and the Old Testament to the emergence of Christianity, from Descartes and Adam Smith to the consumerism in Fight Club. Throughout, he asks searching meta-economic questions: What is the meaning and the point of economics? Can we do ethically all that we can do technically? Does it pay to be good? Placing the wisdom of philosophers and poets over strict mathematical models of human behavior, Sedlacek's groundbreaking work promises to change the way we calculate economic value.

Good Arguments
By a two-time debating world champion, a dazzling look at how arguing better can transform your life – and the world – for the better
**Previously published as The Art of Disagreeing Well**
Everyone debates, in some form, most days. Sometimes we do it to persuade; other times to learn, discover a truth, or simply to express something about ourselves. We argue to defend ourselves, our work, and our loved ones from external threat. We do it to get our way, or just to get ahead.
As a two-time debating world champion, Bo has made a career out of arguing. Over the past few years, however, he’s noticed how we’re not only arguing more and more, but getting worse at it – a fact proven by our polarised politics. By tracing his own journey from immigrant kid to world champion, as well as those of illustrious participants in the sport such as Malcolm X, Edmund Burke and Sally Rooney, Seo shows how the skills of debating – information gathering, truth finding, lucidity, organization, and persuasion – are often the cornerstone of successful careers and happy lives. Along the way, he provides the reader with an unforgettable toolkit to use debate as a means to improve their own.
This book is an everyperson’s guide to disagreeing well, so that the outcome of having had an argument is better than not having it at all. Taking readers on a thrilling intellectual adventure into the eccentric and brilliant subculture of competitive debate, Good Arguments proves that good-faith debate can enrich and improve our lives, friendships, democracies and in the process, our world.

Beyond the Wand
They called for a break, and Gambon magicked up a cigarette from out of his beard. He and I were often to be found outside the stage that housed the Astronomy Tower, having 'a breath of fresh air' as we referred to it. There would be painters and plasterers and chippies and sparks, and among them all would be me and Dumbledore having a crafty cigarette.
From Borrower to wizard, Tom Felton's childhood was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame saw him catapulted into the limelight aged just twelve when he landed the iconic role of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films.
Speaking with candour and his own trademark humour, Tom shares his experience of growing up on screen and as part of the wizarding world for the very first time. He tells all about his big break, what filming was really like and the lasting friendships he made during ten years with the franchise, as well as the highs and lows of fame and the reality of navigating adult life after filming finished.
Prepare to meet a real-life wizard.
