Cigars - A Guide
The story of cigars. "The most futile and disastrous day seems well spent when it is reviewed through the blue, fragrant smoke of a Cigar." Evelyn Waugh Exploring not just the extraordinary story of tobacco and cigars but also a history that has been instrumental in the foundations of societies and cultures, Cigars will take you on an astonishing journey through landscapes, scents and an incredible roll call of the great, the good and the not-so good. The cigar has provided solace and a chance for worldly contemplation to generations of thinkers, businessmen, writers, entrepreneurs and connoisseurs. In this elegiac offering to the pinnacles of hand-rolled tobacco, world-renowned expert Nicholas Foulkes guides you through the myths, legends, nuances and delicious realities of the smoke-savouring universe, serving as an introduction for the neophyte and a reference for the connoisseur. "A cigar ought not to be smoked solely with the mouth, but with the hand, the eyes, and with the spirit." Zino Davidoff

Eero Saarinen
Eero Saarinen was one of the world's most celebrated architects at the time of his death at the age of 51, he designed and built more than 35 buildings in his lifetime and collaborated on 30 more with his father, renowned architect Eliel Saarinen. Eero's career began in childhood: As the son of the esteemed Eliel, designer of Cranbrook Academy in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Eero grew up in an intellectually charged environment surrounded by art and design, and entered his first architectural competition while still in grade school. Eero Saarinen trained and practiced with his father until the early 1950s, when he established his own firm and began to design some of the most influential institutions of his day, among them residential colleges and a hockey rink at Yale University, an auditorium and chapel at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology, American embassies in London and Oslo, and corporate complexes for General Motors, IBM, and Bell Laboratories that spearheaded the creation of the modern suburban office park. While all of these projects blur the boundaries between architecture, art, and landscape, none share a single, identifiable style. Saarinen explored new materials and techniques in every building, developing innovative uses of granite, glazed bricks, reflective glass, concrete, and curtain-wall technology to suit each program. Such wide-ranging approaches to his architecture made Saarinen difficult to classify, and interest in his work dissipated soon after his death. This volume is the most thorough monograph published to date on Eero Saarinen and the first major publication on the architect in 40 years. Organized chronologically in 14 chapters, it traces Saarinen's life and career from his childhood in Finland to collaboration with his father, through his iconic airport projects of the 1960s, documenting more than 60 commissions and competitions. The approximately 300 illustrations include period photography by renowned architectural photographers Ezra Stoller, Balthazar Korab, Harvey Croze, and others, rarely seen original sketches, concept drawings, and plans, and more recent color photography. The book also quotes numerous interviews with Saarinen's colleagues and architecture critics, such as Robert A.M. Stern, Florence Knoll, and Cesar Pelli, examining how Saarinen was viewed in his own time and today.

Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse. The Ultimate History
On November 18, 1928, the world's most famous mouse made his very first public debut. Today, we celebrate 90+ years of Mickey in one of the most expansive illustrated publications on the Disney universe. Starting with the first sketches of a character who was almost named Mortimer, we trace the career of Walt Disney's and Ub Iwerks's most famous creation, one met with an explosion of worldwide popularity preceded only by the earlier successes of Charlie Chaplin.This edition is derived from the XXL book that was produced with unlimited access to Disney's vast historical collections as well as public and private collections. The authors bring Mickey's success story to life: concept art, story sketches, background paintings, and animation drawings as well as historical photographs trace the origins and evolution of such timeless favorites as Steamboat Willie, The Band Concert, and Brave Little Tailor. They also follow Mickey as he builds on this legendary library of short cartoons by appearing in two historic feature-length films, Fantasia and Fun and Fancy Free.Unfinished projects, many of them presented for the first time through original storyboard drawings, unveil a Mickey that might have been. Extensive archival research sheds new light on little-known chapters of Mickey's career, such as his pioneering radio shows, the origins of the Mickey Mouse Club, and his use as a patriotic icon during World War II. Along the way, we encounter the work of all major Mickey artists in both film and comics, including such greats as Ub Iwerks, Win Smith, Ferdinand Horvath, Fred Moore, Floyd Gottfredson, Carl Barks, Manuel Gonzales, Paul Murry, Romano Scarpa, Giorgio Cavazzano, Byron Erickson, César Ferioli, and Noel Van Horn.Mickey Mouse has left an indelible mark on everyday culture. As Walt Disney once said: "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing-that it was all started by a mouse." And an end to the success story is nowhere in sight. Today, 90 years after his creation, Mickey remains as lovable and popular as ever. Let's pay tribute to the little fellow, his legend, and his legacy with a monument to the one and only Mickey Mouse.Copyright © 2023 Disney Enterprises, Inc.

To Me, He Was Just Dad
"The lowdown on what it's like to be raised by a legend. Frequently funny and consistently intimate. . . . A great read."
--BookPage "Those searching for a moving Father's Day gift need look no further."
--Publishers Weekly
Men like John Wayne and John Lennon, Nolan Ryan and Bruce Lee, Cesar Chavez, Christopher Reeve, and Miles Davis have touched the lives of millions. But at home, to their children, they were not their public personas. They were Dad. Maybe Davis didn't leave the office at five o'clock to come home and play catch with his son Erin, but the man we see through Erin's eyes is so alive, so real, so not the "king of cool" (he taught his son to box, made a killer pot of chili, watched MTV alongside him) that it brings us to a whole new appreciation for the artist.
Each of these forty first-person narratives--intimate, heartfelt, unvarnished, surprising, and profoundly universal--shows us not only a very different view of a figure we thought we knew but also a wholly fresh and moving idea of what it means to be a father.

Rene Burri - Explosions of Sight
Swiss photographer Rene Burri (1933-2014) has been wherever history had been played out. A member of the famous Magnum Photos cooperative since 1955, he photographed in the Middle East in the 1950s and 1960s, recording the Six-Days and Yom Kippur Wars, as well as the Vietnam War during the 1960s. His many travels took him to Japan and China, across Europe and the Americas to report sharply many of the 20th century's major events. His extraordinary sense for people and their personalities helped him create portraits of celebrities such as architects Le Corbusier, Oscar Niemeyer, and Luis Barragan; or artists Alberto Giacometti, Pablo Picasso, and Jean Tinguely. His iconic picture of Che Guevara with cigar, shot in 1963, is one of the world's most famous and widely reproduced photographic portraits ever.
Burri had a close relationship with Lausanne's Musee de l' Elysee and in 1987 the museum staged a first exhibition of his work, entitled The Ruins of the Future, followed by his first major retrospective in 2004. The museum also hosts the Fondation Rene Burri, which the artist established in 2013 as a home for his estate.
Published to coincide with a new exhibition at Musee de l'Elysee in spring 2020, Rene Burri: An Eye Explosion draws from this vast collection. It brings together for the first time Burri's entire body of work, photographic and non-photographic. Black-and-white and colour photographs feature alongside previously unpublished archival documents as well as book designs, exhibition projects, travel diaries, collages, watercolours, and other multiple objects he collected. It offers a new, multi-faceted and uniquely intimate view of one of the world's greatest photo reporters.

Jewish Prague
Město, které již víc než sto let neexistuje, a přitom bývalo jedním z nejvýznamnějších a dozajista také nejstarších středisek židovského etnika v Evropě. Podle legendy sem zamířili Izraelité po zboření legendárního Jeruzalémského chrámu, aby se stalo jejich Matičkou Prahou, Městem a Matkou v Izraeli. Od 16. století zjednodušeně židovské ghetto, které se v polovině 19. století změnilo na pátou městskou čtvrť. Na počest císaře Josefa II. byla pojmenována Josefov, z něhož se ve finále vyklubalo útočiště pražské chudiny.

Amit a falkától tanultam
Ebben a megható és inspiráló könyvben az ünnepelt kutyaszakértő, Cesar Millan felfedi, milyen sokféle módon lehet az ember legjobb barátja a legnagyobb tanítója is. Nyolc elképesztő kutya életén keresztül - kezdve Palomától, a keveréktől, aki megmutatja Cesarnek a tisztelet jelentését nagyapja mexikói tanyáján egészen Daddyig, szeretett pitbull társáig, aki a bölcsesség mintaképe - Cesar érzelmes utazásra visz minket, és kiemeli azokat a leckéket, amiket útközben a falkájától tanult.
Cesar mélyre ás a múltjában, és megosztja velünk az útját Mazatlánból, a zsúfolt mexikói városból az Egyesült Államokban kezdett új életéig, ahol a Kutyapszichológiai Központban az egyik legismertebb kutyaképző programot hozta létre. Minden állomáson kutyatársai voltak a vezetői, akiktől leckét kapott hitelességből, megbocsátásból és elfogadásból, és akik segítettek neki leküzdenie a félelmeit, átvészelnie egy nehéz válást, és létrehoznia egy szeretetteljesebb, kiegyensúlyozottabb életet. A megindító történetek, illetve a több száz ügyfél esettanulmányai és a legújabb állativiselkedési-tanulmányok inspirálják az olvasót, hogy ezekkel az értékekkel gazdagítsa a saját életét.
Cesar a korábban még közzé nem tett megfigyeléseivel, illetve a híres kliensek, például Jerry Seinfeld, Kathy Griffin és Alec Baldwin tapasztalataival a világ bármely táján élő kutyatulajdonosnak egyedülálló útmutatót ad a boldogsághoz és elégedettséghez - egy kutya oldalán.

The Prague of Charles IV.
Kniha přináší barvitý obraz hlavního města Království českého v období vrcholící gotické kultury a umění na pozadí historických souvislostí, které se staly pro Prahu za vlády Karla IV. (1347 –1378) mimořádně příznivými. Po Karlově korunovaci v roce 1355 na římského císaře se stává hlavní město zemí Koruny české poprvé ve své historii i metropolí Svaté říše římské. Praha Karla IV. otevřela své brány a nabídla "stůl k pohoštění prostřený" stavitelům, studentům, umělcům, řemeslníkům, hostům, ať přicházeli odkudkoliv. V královské a císařské prestižní péči, do níž se vedle Karlovy vladařské pozice v Evropě promítla jeho západoevropská vzdělanost a kosmopolitní otevřenost stejně jako víra, respekt k přemyslovské tradici a osobní zaujetí, vykvetlo město do neotřelé krásy. Katedrála, kamenný most, univerzita a vybudování Nového Města s jeho magickým křížem kostelů dodnes stvrzují jako kamenné pečeti pražskou tvář gotické architektury, signovanou malbou a plastikou a celou sférou duchovní kultury.
Knihu doplňuje kolem 130 fotografií pražských památek, reálií a dokumentačních obrázků

Auggie Wren's Christmas Story
This charming Christmas fable begins with a dilemma: A writer has been asked by The New York Times to write a story that will appear in the paper on Christmas morning. The man agrees, but he has a problem: How do you write an unsentimental Christmas story? He unburdens himself to his friend at his local cigar shop, a colourful character called Auggie Wren. 'A Christmas story? Is that all?' Auggie counters. 'If you buy me lunch, my friend, I'll tell you the best Christmas story you've ever heard. And I guarantee every word of it is true.' What follows is utterly beguiling - a story involving a blind woman, a lost wallet, and a Christmas dinner - in which everything is turned upside down and the lines between truth and story telling become brilliantly blurred.

Invisibles
This volume is a unique collection of photographs of gay couples from 1900 to 1960. While this is a time many now regard as the deeply closeted dark ages, these photos show gay couples who were clearly out - some camping it up for the camera while others in loving or clearly domestic poses. These photos were discovered and collected by the author in flea markets and garage sale, the names of the subjects and their photographers lost to time. He was intrigued by the fact that the pictures show couples posed hand in hand, revealing happiness, serenity and a surprising air of freedom so unlike the image of gays suffering in secret or fighting for their rights. This unique collection inspired Sebastien Lifshitz to restore to these nameless couples their voices in his documentary movie The Invisibles for which he was awarded the Cesar Award for Best Documentary in 2013.
