McRae Carmen - Great Women Of Song: Carmen McRae LP
Verve Records vydáva najnovšie vydania vo svojej edícii Great Women Of Song, ktorý vzdáva hold priekopníckej práci a trvalému vplyvu niektorých z najväčších ženských vokalistiek všetkých čias. Rovnako ako jej idol Billie Holiday, aj Carmen McRae by mohla vlastniť baladu a urobiť si všetko po svojom. Mohla by tiež swingovať každý kúsok tak tvrdo ako jej ďalší hlavný vplyv, Ella Fitzgerald. Carmen, ktorá sa objavila počas Bebopovej éry a pod hudobnou vlnou Thelonious Monk, vytvorila sériu nahrávok pre vydavateľstvo Decca, ktoré posilnili jej povesť a odštartovali kariéru, ktorá má takmer 50 rokov. Či už v malých skupinách alebo za podpory štúdiového orchestra, Carmen McRae nahrala definitívne verzie piesní, ktoré tvoria chrbticu jazzu a veľký americký spevník.

Lacná kniha Romanesque Houses in Prague (-90%)
Anglická mutace knihy Románské domy v Praze. Románská Praha je v dějinách města stejně významnou, ale zdaleka nikoliv tak známou etapou vývoje jako Praha gotická či barokní. Publikace poprvé v úplnosti zpřístupňuje bohatý a různorodý fond románské profánní architektury s výjimkou svébytných celků Pražského hradu a Vyšehradu. V pražském podhradí vznikaly v průběhu 12. století obytné kamenné domy, stavby ve středoevropském prostředí zcela ojedinělé. Autoři popisují a hodnotí téměř 70 objektů vystavěných typickou technikou z pečlivě otesaných kvádříků od těch, které padly za oběť pražské asanaci, až po ty, které byly odkryty nejnovějšími archeologickými výzkumy.

Tales of the Prague Ghetto
The three stories in this collection, which first appeared in the press in the 1840s and were posthumously published as a collection at the end of the century, offer a Romantic and folkloric vision of Jewish culture in Prague. The first story, "Genenda”, displays Kapper's operatic eye for detail and drama with its account of a dutiful rabbi's daughter being swept away by a dashing young man, a Christian nobleman disguised as a Jew, a deceit that ends in tragedy. "The Curious Guest” is an intricate tale of a quest for wisdom and power that inevitably leads to the undoing of the arrogant protagonist. The final story, "Glowing Coals”, is a supernatural tale of romantic desire and revenge, displaying Kapper's skill at deploying the tropes of folklore for dramatic literary effect. The collection not only provides a colorful snapshot of nineteenth-century Czech-Jewish culture but also resonates with universal human themes that transcend a single national experience.

EMISSARY OF THE MIDDLE AGES A HUMAN MEMENTO MORI
The most frequently visited monument in the historical centre of Prague – the Old Town or Prague Astronomical Clock – is rightly considered the best preserved medieval astronomical clock. Why is that? What times can be read on its astrolabe? Since when have wooden statues of the apostles made their promenade on it? What esoteric symbols do the stone statues conceal? Why did the alleged creator of the Astronomical Clock Master Hanuš have to be blinded? This book is about these and more secrets hidden in the bowels of this unique medieval work.
Inspired by the calendar dial, it details important moments from the history of the Astronomical Clock in twelve chapters and in a final summary overviews its technical parameters.
The Prague Astronomical Clock is revealing its secrets to you and will reward its admirers with originality and novelty.
Sustainable Buildings
Buildings from all over the world using the latest developments, innovations and achievements of eco-friendly architecture.
Climate change and environmental pollution, rising energy prices and dwindling resources pose major challenges for the world of construction today. If sustainability is to become a global reality, it must also be designed and expressed with trend-setting aesthetics: The carefully selected sample projects of contemporary architecture show how this can be implemented in compelling ways.
They offer an informative overview of current, very different concepts, approaches and techniques. Sustainable building also means that ecological parameters involve not only all aspects of the actual building, but also the construction process and the afterlife in the sense of deconstruction and conversion, all of which must be considered by the planner as early as the design process. It is becoming increasingly important not to focus on short-term goals, but above all, on long-term ones.
