British Interior Design
Often associated with traditional styles involving floral motifs, pastel colours and soft fabrics, British interior design used to be rather modest. The contemporary scene however is filled with a wild array of styles juxtaposing the classical with the kitsch, the romantic with the quirky and the rough with the polished.
This volume offers a thrilling glimpse into a range of the most recent and inspiring British interiors from internationally renowned designers as well as talented individuals striking new paths in this dynamic and fascinating world. Whether private homes, offices, clubs, bars or restaurants, the projects presented here reveal a fusion of the utterly familiar with the wonderfully eccentric and place Britain firmly at the forefront of global interior design.

100 Works Chanced British Art
On 15 April, 2003 Charles Saatchi will open the new Saatchi Gallery in a spectacular renovated County Hall across the river from Westminster. The enterprise will be the focus for Saatchi's vision of radical, ground-breaking British art in a venue that is accessible to the widest public. "100" is the book that will mark the occasion with one hundred works that Saatchi believes made a difference to the perception of British art. The work of twenty-seven artists has been chosen from Saatchi's collection and of course the selection includes the shark and the sheep in formaldehyde, the head made of blood and Tracey's bed. It will be a landmark publication for a landmark occasion. After the provocation of the famous Sensation show at the Royal Academy in 1997, a generation of young artists have become household names. What was once so provocative has now entered the visual vocabulary of a wider public. What was once so daring is now demonstrated to be more than ephemeral. Saatchi's vision is defined in "100".

Teach Yourself British Sign Language (BSL) B + CD
Is this the right book for me? Do you want to be able to understand and use British Sign Language confidently? All you need is this best-selling course. Learn everyday, useful BSL through real-life situations that make the grammar and vocabulary easy and memorable. Hundreds of line illustrations throughout the book and constant references to video clips on the DVD make learning fast and fun. British Sign Language (BSL) is used in the United Kingdom. The number of Deaf people in the UK using BSL has been put at about 50,000, there are in addition many more hearing people who use BSL to communicate with Deaf users. Sign languages are not related to spoken languages and BSL is completely different, for example, from American Sign Language. Sign language conveys meaning through the use of space and movement of the hands, body, face and head. We know that many hearing people are keen to learn BSL (it is a very popular evening class course, for example). But there is a lack of good teaching materials written in English for hearing learners of BSL, which this course fills. Get Started in British Sign Language follows the BSL curricula taught currently in colleges (Council for the Advancement of Communication with Deaf People CACDP and Institute of BSL) and therefore will be able to be used as support material by learners, as well as providing a complete grounding in the structure and grammar of BSL. Why is this the best course on the market? - It's Deaf-led (so often deaf people are not in charge) - It has Deaf authenticity (a bit like a Black person writing a book on Black Culture) - It has a Deaf illustrator (how many BSL books are illustrated by a Deaf person? Go on, check) - It has Deaf authors (Yes, go on and check! Authors, not 'contributors'!) - It has a DVD which can be downloaded to a phone, computer, TV, laptop (the possibilities are endless) - It's fun (just like the other Teach Yourself books) - The format is clear - lots of hand holding (you never need to ask 'what does this mean?') - Only BSL experts who are deaf are used as authors and advisers (not hearing professors) Teach Yourself British Sign Language includes: Chapter 1: Starting out with BSL structure Chapter 2: More about Deaf people Chapter 3: BSL Structures Chapter 4: Deaf culture and BSL etiquette Chapter 5: Introduction to facial expressions Chapter 6: Asking 'wh-' questions Chapter 7: Asking 'yes'/'no' questions Chapter 8: More about questions Chapter 9: How to use facial expressions Chapter 10: BSL mouth patterns Chapter 11: Starting out with fingerspelling Chapter 12: Learning to fingerspell Chapter 13: Reading fingerspelling Chapter 14: Fingerspelling signs ...Chapter 15: Using fingerspelling in conversation Chapter 16: Other fingerspelt words: months Chapter 17: Starting out with placement Chapter 18: Describing a room Chapter 19: Introduction to referent handshapes Chapter 20: Understanding switching Chapter 21: Describing a room from memory Chapter 22: Understanding someone describing a scene from memory Chapter 23: Starting out with directions Chapter 24: Directions - describing localities Chapter 25: Complex directions: adding more information Chapter 26: Using directions with landmarks Chapter 27: Colours Chapter 28: What next?

Hévíz 2090
Hévíz 2090: romanca s nádychom utópie a sci-fi. Po úspešných knihách pre mládež Keď sa pes smeje a Venussha (Ťažký týždeň) autor napísal román výsostne pre dospelých. Sme v láske slobodní, sami sebou? Prejavia sa civilizačné zmeny aj na milostných vzťahoch? Juraj Šebesta na to odpovedá
s jemu vlastným humorom a otvorenosťou.
Ľúbostné príbehy sú zasadené prevažne do známeho kúpeľného mesta a najmä do budúcnosti; ich spoločenské pozadie však upomína na minulosť, aj tú vzdialenejšiu. Maďarom i Slovákom sa mimoriadne darí, ich vzťahy nikdy neboli lepšie. Svojou tolerantnosťou sú vzorom celej Európe.
Autor ulieta s úsmevom, ale možno aj s vierou a nádejou.

Over the centuries they have performed a useful role as pest controllers, but much more as friends and companions of humans. This delightful illustrated anthology includes a selection of the many poems, anecdotes and quotations about cats, which have been written over the centuries.

Birds: The British Museum
Each striking image in this beautiful anthology is matched with a poem about the same species. Some were composed by our best-loved writers – including Shakespeare, Chaucer and Tennyson – and others have been selected from less familiar or even anonymous voices around the world. The endless variety of birds, their freedom of sky, land and water, and especially their song have also inspired writers through the ages.
