Art Matters
Seize the day in the name of art. This creative call to arms from the mind of Neil Gaiman combines his extraordinary words with deft and striking illustrations by Chris Riddell.
'Like a bedtime story for the rest of your life, this is a book to live by. At its core, it's about freeing ideas, shedding fear of failure, and learning that "things can be different" ' INSTITUTE OF IMAGINATION
Be bold. Be rebellious. Choose art. It matters.
Neil Gaiman once said that 'the world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before'. This little book is the embodiment of that vision. Drawn together from speeches, poems and creative manifestos, Art Matters explores how reading, imagining and creating can change the world, and will be inspirational to young and old.
Sto pod nulou
Pocitová teplota mohla dosiahnuť mínus sto stupňov, no ani to ich nezastavilo. Partia ôsmich horolezcov sa v roku 1967 rozhodla podniknúť zimný prvovýstup na najvyššiu severoamerickú horu Denali známu ako Mount McKinley. Sto pod nulou Arta Davidsona je skutočná horolezecká klasika!
Príbehy dobyvateľov nedobytných pólov a divokých miest našej planéty sú na prvý pohľad prosté. Prišli. Vystúpili na vrchol. Vrátili sa so slávou a poctami. Lenže expedícia je živý organizmus. Prešpikovaný priateľstvom na život a na smrť, nedôverou, zášťou, hnevom i nekonečnou náklonnosťou. A to všetko umocňujú situácie na hrane života. Inak to nebolo ani počas zimného prvovýstupu na slávnu aljašskú horu Denali v roku 1967. Partia ôsmich mužov sa pustila do projektu, ktorý bol od počiatku odsúdený na neúspech. Ako budú vzdorovať zime, víchrom a nedostatku kyslíka vo výškach nad 5000 metrov? Ako sa vysporiadajú so situáciami, keď pocitová teplota klesne na mínus sto stupňov a oni zostanú uväznení v ľadovom masíve?
Nikto pred nimi nezažil najvyššie hrebene Severnej Ameriky v zimnom šere. Nikto nevedel, ako nízko klesnú teploty, alebo aká prenikavá bude zima, keď začne fúkať vietor. A teraz to mali zistiť na vlastnej koži.
Sto pod nulou Arta Davidsona nie je to len kniha účastníka expedície, ktorý dôverne spoznal každého z jej členov. Je to aj kniha reportéra, ktorý na všetko pozerá s odstupom času a na miesto expedície sa vracia tiež prostredníctvom denníkov i rozhovorov so svojimi horolezeckými kolegami. A je to aj priamy a úprimný záznam jednej šialenej expedície, ktorú postretlo všetko – od eufórie, cez nenávisť až po smrť.
Kniha Sto pod nulou vychádza v preklade Ivany Krekáňovej.

What is Black Art?
A landmark anthology on British art history, bringing together overlooked and marginalized perspectives from 'the critical decade'
What is Black art? This vital anthology gives voice to a generation of artists of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage who worked within and against British art institutions in the 1980s, including Sonia Boyce, Lubaina Himid, Eddie Chambers and Rasheed Araeen. It brings together artists' statements, interviews, exhibition catalogue essays and reviews, most of which have been unavailable for many years and resonate profoundly today. Together they interrogate the term 'Black art' itself, and revive a forgotten dialogue from a time when men and women who had been marginalized made themselves heard within the art world and beyond.

The Art of Being
How can we realise and actualise love, reason and meaningful, productive work?
If the Art of Being - the art of functioning as a whole person - can be considered the supreme goal of life, a breakthrough occurs when we move from narcissistic selfishness and egotism - from having - to psychological and spiritual happiness - being. The Art of Being remains one of the most important and sought-after works in the Fromm canon.
Fromm here offers a path to true wellbeing and a way of living based on authentic self-awareness that comes only through honest self-analysis. He warns of the pitfalls of our attaining enlightenment without effort, or believing that life can be lived without pain. The tantalising 'spiritual smorgasbord' offered by our consumer-oriented world, Fromm maintains, only feeds our illusions of 'easy awareness'. Confronting the psycho-gurus who preach these shortcuts to enlightenment, Fromm offers another way to self-awareness through meditation rather than material gain.
This volume is a sequel to one of Erich Fromm's most popular works, To Have or to Be. In this book, Fromm examines the true paths - as opposed to false directions - that will lead us to self-knowledge and enlightenment. This edition, commemorating thirty years since the first English publication of The Art of Being, features an updated introduction from editor Rainer Funk.
Filosofie en noir
Myšlení, ať chce či nechce, odpovídá své době. Po tragické katastrofě holokaustu je platnost této skutečnosti ještě očividnější – a možná i proto jsou knihy poválečné filosofie obtížně srozumitelné. Odpovídají na traumatizující zkušenost, a to znamená: filosofie se ujímá odpovědnosti s vědomím, že má-li být filosofie možná i v druhé polovině 20. století a dále, musí přepsat svou tradici a radikální proměnou musí projít i její diskurs. Je to nezbytné, má-li být schopna vydat své svědectví o této době. Filosofie en noir je záznamem této proměny.

How to Enjoy Art encourages us to rediscover the fundamental pleasure in viewing art.
The Art of Living
With all the wit, knowledge and wisdom of one of the UK's foremost cultural commentators, Stephen Bayley takes the reader on a satirical roller-coaster ride through the world of art and design in the late 20th century.
Someone once said you can find beauty anywhere. But all Eustace Dunne can see is ugliness.
The buildings are grey, the people are tired and unimaginative, the food is inedible and life is drab, drab, drab.
Growing up in an England ravaged by the Second World War, Eustace resolves to make things beautiful again. A mercurial stint in art school gives him a springboard into a world that is changing so fast you have to hold on tight to keep up. And in that world, ambition, timing and a modicum of talent can transform you into anything you want to be.
Before long he's an artist, a designer, a restaurateur, an entrepreneur, a genius. But becoming a bastion of perfect taste can be a grubby business. Eustace's charm may have secured his influence on the homes and hearts of a nation, but there are still people out there who know where the bodies are buried...
The History of Western Art
A concise, reader-friendly illustrated survey of Western art and architecture from prehistory to the present day.
Acknowledging how architecture, painting, sculpture and the decorative arts reflect the culture and society of their time, this latest addition to the Art Essentials series invites the reader to experience and appreciate the entirety of Western art from prehistory to today.
Focusing on the 'history' in art history, each of the twelve chapters opens with a question to ponder, followed by a summary of the major historical developments of the period, touching on social structure, political organization, migration, race, religious beliefs, scientific advances and customs. An exploration of these themes in the visual arts reveals how architecture, sculpture and painting simultaneously shape, reflect, and document the culture of the time and place they were created. A secondary focus explores the constantly evolving aesthetic preferences that swing between naturalism and abstraction, with each era and style either rebelling against the previous or seeking to improve it. Antecedents and outside influences are also discussed.
Bezzeg az én időmben
„Bezzeg az én időmben…” – hallani a felnőttektől. De Kati, a tizenöt éves gimnazista lány, akinek annyi felé kell megfelelnie, mégis mindig kilóg a sorból, most akar élni és boldognak lenni.
A tornaórán kitalált udvarló aztán valóra válik, és az osztálytársaknak hazudott Laci képében Kati életébe betoppan az első szerelem. Fehér Klára klasszikus ifjúsági regénye minden korban népszerű, hiszen a szerelem egyetemes és mindig a jelenben él. Kati és Laci története mégis különleges, mert ebben a történetben 1941-et ír a naptár, és a történelem sötét árja ellen még a szerelem sem véd…
Art of business Wars
Based on the chart-topping BUSINESS WARS podcast re-imagined using Sun Tzu's THE ART OF WAR as a guide, THE ART OF BUSINESS WARS features stories and lessons from history's greatest business rivalries revealing why some companies triumph while others crumble.
Business is a fight for survival. In business as in war, leaders match their wills in pursuit of opposing outcomes, they devise strategies, and marshal resources for victory. Success can turn on the smallest of details; a single tactical blunder can topple an empire. Ultimately, one side triumphs - and victory is all that matters.
In The Art of Business Wars, David Brown, host of the hit podcast Business Wars, masterfully frames some of the biggest business rivalries in history using revered Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu's insights and pragmatic advice. Each rivalry tells a story of combined wits, strategies, and resources. Brown chronicles the rise of companies as they vanquish rivals, formulate innovative plans, and adapt to keep up with shifting needs. The goal? Stay ahead of the competition and emerge victorious.
By compiling powerful insights uncovered over hundreds of podcast episodes and more than a year of in-depth research, Brown has developed a formula for business intrigue rich in popular history. The stories in The Art of Business Wars will inspire you, and the lessons you can draw from them - about determination, ingenuity, patience, grit, subtlety, and other traits that contribute to a victorious enterprise - are invaluable, whether you're a creative freelancer or the CEO of a multinational manufacturer.
