Second World War: Their Finest Hour
For eight grim months Great Britain stood alone as the only European power still carrying on the struggle against Nazi Germany. Eight months in which the Luftwaffe tried and failed to drive the RAF from the skies; eight months in which the Nazi fleet tried to starve Britain into submission. Focusing on the period from May 1940 to the end of the year, THEIR FINEST HOUR embraces Sir Winston Churchill's first days as Prime Minister, France's defeat, British troops' mass evacuation from Dunkirk and the uneasy summer when the enemy was daily expected upon our shores. However, it also features the first gleams of light as the danger of invasion faded and the year closed with Desert Victory. The descriptions of these times and events, both desperate and hopeful, are drawn from the pen of the man who shaped them and who led his people in resistance to every challenge, bringing the period to a close with the first victorious counter-attack.

Making and Breaking the Grid, Second Edition, Updated and Expanded
Effective layout is essential to communication and enables the end user to not only be drawn in with an innovative design, but to digest information easily. Making and Breaking the Grid is a comprehensive layout design workshop that assumes that in order to effectively break the rules of grid-based design, one must first understand those rules and see them applied to real-world projects.
Basics include composing typographic space, format determination, and sequencing and systemization. Various types of grids manuscript, column, modular, hierarchical are also covered.
Text reveals top designers' work in process and rationale. Projects with similar characteristics are linked through a simple notational system that encourages exploration and comparison of structure ideas. Each project is shown comprehensively so readers can see its structure revealed over several pages, at a size that allows for inspection of detail.
Also included are historical overviews that summarize the development of layout concepts, both grid-based and non-grid based, in modern design practice.

When in French - Love in a Second Language
A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Talking to you in English', he said, 'is like touching you with gloves.' A language barrier is no match for love. New Yorker journalist Lauren Collins discovers this first-hand when, in her early thirties, she moves to London and falls for Olivier, a Frenchman. As their relationship begins to grow, Lauren senses that there are things she doesn't understand about Olivier, having never spoken to him in his mother tongue. (Does 'I love you' even mean the same thing as 'je t'aime'?) And when they move to French-speaking Geneva, Lauren suddenly finds herself no longer able to talk to the local handymen or shop owners, let alone her husband's parents. Fearful of one day finding herself unable to communicate with her own children, Lauren decides to learn French. Along the way, she faces a series of challenges, from awkward role-playing games at her Swiss language school, to accidentally telling her mother-in-law that she's given birth to a coffee machine. But there are also unexpected pleasures: the delights of learning French words that have no English equivalent and the joys of winning her first argument against Olivier in his native tongue. A funny, thoughtful memoir, When in French considers how language shapes our lives, from how we think, to how we fall in love, and what happens when two languages, and two very different cultures, collide.

Ako som vozil Nórov 2
Ondrej Sokol omnoho radšej počúva, než rozpráva. Vypočul teda modlitby i zbožné priania svojich fanúšikov a napísal pokračovanie svojho úspešného debutu o patáliách s vozením Nórov v autobusoch. Tentokrát sa dozvieme, aké je to šoférovať ekologické hybridy v extrémnych severských podmienkach, aké sú výhody vozenia turistov na Nordkapp a prečo jazdiť MHD, hoci aj v Nórsku, nemusí byť až taká výhra.
Táto kniha má naozaj všetko: politicky nekorektný humor, intermezzo s ňuňu mačiatkom a dokonca virtuálnu prehliadku najsevernejšieho WC Európy. Viacerých čitateľov určite prekvapí tiež fakt, že nielen u nás sa zadávajú a vyhrávajú tendre s absolútne nezmyselnými podmienkami.
V knihe Ako som vozil Nórov 2 je študovaný prekladateľ a vášnivý šofér autobusu Ondrej opäť v plnej sile - dočkáme sa trefných prirovnaní a zábavných historiek, cez ktoré nakukneme oknom autobusu do prostredia príťažlivej škandinávskej krajiny. Je to jednoducho Sokol taký, akého ho máme radi - otrlý, nad vecou a s chuťou voziaci rôzne národnosti po napínavých trasách. Nech mu to vydrží.

Short Second Life of Bree Tanner
Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by the riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion. 'I'm as surprised as anyone about this novella,' said Stephenie Meyer. 'When I began working on it in 2005, it was simply an exercise to help me examine the other side of Eclipse, which I was editing at the time. I thought it might end up as a short story that I could include on my website. Then, when work started on The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, I thought the Guide would be a good fit for my Bree story. However, the story grew longer than I anticipated, until it was too long to fit into the Guide.'

The 50 key modes, garments, and designers, each explained in half a minute!
