Rihanna - And the Clothes He Wears
- A guide to the style of Rihanna, a 21st-century fashion icon
- Over 100 pictures of Rihanna and designers who have influenced her sartorial taste
- The perfect gift for fans and fashionistas
“I grew up on a really small Island, and I didn't have a lot of access to fashion, but as far as I could remember, fashion has always been my defence mechanism. Even as a child I remember thinking, she can beat me, but she cannot beat my outfit.” - Rihanna, accepting the CFDA Fashion Icon of the Year Award in 2014.
From the author of the runaway bestseller Harry Styles and the Clothes He Wears comes a new, fresh look at style icon Rihanna.
Rihanna has learnt how to define her own terms whatever she does – whether in the worlds of fashion, music, beauty, philanthropy, business, or activism, she is both muse and creative, a collaborator and pioneer. To date she has 135 million Instagram followers and counting. In 2022 at the age of 34, largely because of her Fenty Beauty empire, she became Forbes' youngest self-made billionaire.
But it is her personal wardrobe and the way she wears it that embodies Rihanna's charisma, integrity, and humor most: everything she does reflects what she wears herself. She is a risk-taker, but as she said on the red-carpet in 2014 “you will never be stylish if you don't take risks.” The gamble has paid off. Rihanna's mix-and-match method of wearing high fashion and streetwear, young designers and vintage, hip-hop classics, and avant-garde custom-made pieces, has meant that she has equal footing in both the music and fashion industries. Chairman and CEO of the LVMH group, Sidney Toledano says she is: “a style icon for today's generation”.
The breadth of Rihanna's fashion knowledge and style is astounding. In Rihanna and the Clothes She Wears, Terry Newman steps into the world of this fashion icon by examining her style. From couture catwalks to her own empire Fenty, political statements to high street casual, this chic book fizzles with facts about Rihanna's styling choices, presenting the star's most revered looks. With quotes from key designers, this is the perfect gift for any fan.

The Russian Revolution
An illustrated account of one of the most pivotal events in modern history - the Russian revolution of 1917. In the early years of the twentieth century, Imperial Russia was an ethnically diverse empire, stretching from Ukraine and Belarus in the west to the Bering Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk in the Far East.
At the head of this profoundly dysfunctional polity was Tsar Nicholas II, whose Romanov successors had ruled Russia since the start of the seventeenth century with a lethal mixture of domestic cruelty, expansionist energy and reactionary incompetence - interspersed with occasional reformist spasms.By early 1917, Russia was unreformable, and the tsar's authority irreparably damaged. In March of that year, Nicholas II abdicated and the tsarist system was overthrown.
The provisional government installed in its stead to organise democratic elections lasted just eight chaotic months before being ousted by Lenin's Bolsheviks in the October Revolution.Writing with crisp immediacy, Sebestyen narrates an unprecedented era of political and social convulsion. The Russian Revolutions changed the course of history, and, more than a century later, their backwash continues to be deeply felt across the world.

A Nasty Little War
The astonishing untold history of the Western invasion of Soviet Russia - and the tragedy it created.
From the bestselling author of Borderland: A Journey Through the History of Ukraine
The extraordinary story of how the West tried to reverse the Russian Revolution.
In the closing months of the First World War, Britain, America, France and Japan sent arms and 180,000 soldiers to Russia, with the aim of tipping the balance in her post-revolutionary Civil War. From Central Asia to the Arctic and from Poland to the Pacific, they joined anti-Bolshevik forces in trying to overthrow the new men in the Kremlin, in an astonishingly ambitious military adventure known as the Intervention.
Fresh, in the case of the British, from the trenches, they found themselves in a mobile, multi-sided conflict as different as possible from the grim stasis of the Western Front. Criss-crossing the shattered Russian empire in trains, sleds and paddlesteamers, they bivouacked in snowbound cabins and Kirghiz yurts, torpedoed Red battleships from speedboats, improvised new currencies and the world's first air-dropped chemical weapons, got caught up in mass retreats and a typhus epidemic, organised several coups and at least one assassination. Taking tea with warlords and princesses, they also turned a blind eye to their Russian allies' numerous atrocities.
Two years later they left again, filing glumly back onto their troopships as port after port fell to the Red Army. Later, American veterans compared the humiliation to Vietnam, and the politicians and generals responsible preferred to trivialise or forget. Drawing on previously unused diaries, letters and memoirs, A Nasty Little War brings an episode with echoes down the century since vividly to life.

Symbols of Power: Ten Coins that Changed the World
Money has always been a subject of interest, today more so than ever. For centuries it has performed a key role around the globe most obviously in trade and the economy, but also in the development of national identities, religions and the spread of empire. Introduced as measurements of weight to serve the most basic of functions, these currencies have changed appearance and meaning throughout the ages and developed into complex monetary units we know today. This engaging book tells the story of ten of the world's most important currencies and reveals how each and every one of them ha s helped shape the world we live in. With a brief but informative biography of each of the currencies, it reveals where and how each originated, the various roles they performed, and how they spread, survived and changed over the years. Some may have fallen into disuse but they might also have been revived in new and unexpected forms, and in different locations. Charting the rise and fall of each, the book will look at how the movements, developments and designs of currencies can highlight broader themes of history such as the characteristics of empire, trade and migration and the personalities of kings and rulers and how they can be identified as barometer s for the political fortunes of a nation. Packed full of facts and interesting stories, and thoughtfully illustrated with images from the British Museum and beyond, Old Gold to New Money is an illuminating account of world currencies and the crucial role they play in our world.

Új borvidékek
A közelmúltban jelentős változásoknak lehettünk tanúi a világ bortermelésében, hiszen a 20. század végén tengeren túli országok váltak jelentős bortermelő hatalommá. Kiderült, hogy a világ távoli vidékein is vannak olyan minőségű borok, amelyekről az európaiak eddig azt hitték, hogy csak az öreg kontinensen teremhetnek. Az új versenytársak komoly kihívások elé állították a borkultúrában nagy hagyományokkal rendelkező országokat, melyekről számos könyv született már, míg az újonnan feltörekvőkről meglehetősen keveset tudni. A sok szép, színes képpel illusztrált könyv megismertet ezekkel az Európától földrajzilag távol fekvő bortermelő országokkal.

The Boom
The “best all-around book yet on fracking” (San Francisco Chronicle) from a Pulitzer Prize finalist: “Gold's work is a tour de force of contemporary journalism” (Booklist).
First invented in 1947, hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has not only become a major source of energy, it is changing the way we use energy, and the energy we use. It is both a threat and a godsend for the environment, and it is leading the revival of manufacturing in the United States.
A definitive narrative history, The Boom follows the twists and turns in the development and adoption of this radical technology. It is a thrilling journey filled with colorful characters: the green-minded Texas oilman who created the first modern frack; a bare-knuckled Oklahoman natural gas empire-builder who gave the world an enormous new supply of energy and was brought down by his own success and excesses; an environmental leader whose embrace of fracking brought an end to his public career; and an aging fracking pioneer who is now trying to save the industry from itself.
A fascinating and exciting exploration of one of the most controversial and promising sources of energy, The Boom “brings new clarity to a subject awash in hype from all sides…a thoughtful, well-written, and carefully researched book that provides the best overview yet of the pros and cons of fracking. Gold quietly leads both supporters and critics of drilling to consider other views” (Associated Press).

A bazilika hercegnője
1625. Az új pápa választását ünnepli Róma, amikor egy gyönyörű angol hercegnő érkezik az örök városba, akinek az édesanyja olasz származású. A bíborosok és kurtizánok városában hamar felfedezi a pökhendi gazdagok és a nyomorult szegények, a rend és a káosz, a szigorú erkölcsiség és a szabadosság zavarba ejtő ellentéteit. Róma elbűvöli Clarissát, akit az olaszok principessának szólítanak. Clarissát nemcsak Róma nyűgözi le, hanem a barokk kor két világra szóló művésze is: az egyik Lorenzo Bernini, a zseniális szobrász-építész, a pápák és a nők kedvence, a nagyvilági férfi, a másik Francesco Borromini, a mogorva, magának való, tüskés modorú lángelme, az építészet megújítója, a tökéletesség megszállottja. A két férfi az új Rómát akarja felépíteni, s szembeszökően ellentétes természetük ellenére is arra kényszerülnek, hogy összefogjanak a nagy cél érdekében. Hiába kettejük egymásrautaltsága a művészetben, Clarissa iránt érzett szerelmük halálos ellenséggé teszi őket. A principessa élete azonban nem a férfiak miatt kerül veszélybe, hanem nagynénje, donna Olimpia, a pápa sógornője és szeretője miatt. Ez a gyilkos indulatok rabjává, a féltékenység megszállottjává lett asszony a háttérből les leendő áldozataira, köztük Clarissára, s csak a megfelelő pillanatra vár a pestistől bűzlő városban, hogy héjaként csapjon le unokahúgára...

Magyar művészet 2. KIADÁS (Új borítóval)
A IX. század vége óta, amikor a magyarok letelepedtek a Kárpát-medencében, nem egyszer megváltozott az ország államformája, fővárosa, lakóinak összetétele, sőt maga az elhelyezkedése és a mérete is. A mindenkori Magyarország művészetét azonban jobbára ugyanazokkal a stílustörténeti fogalmakkal írhatjuk le, mint amelyeket a nyugat-európai művészet történetéből jól ismerünk. Az újdonságok többnyire uralkodói, egyházi kezdeményezésre jelentek meg az országban, minden korszakban találunk azonban valamilyen egyedi jelenséget, mint például a középkori falképek Szent László-legenda-ábrázolásai, az egész reneszánszon végigvonuló Mátyás-szimbolika, vagy a barokk vidéki rezidenciák egyik változata, a Grassalkovich Antal gödöllői kastélyáról elnevezett Grassalkovich-típus. A XIX. században itthon is megerősödött a nemzeti kultúra iránti igény, s hamarosan soha nem látott művészeti fellendülés következett, a XX. század első felében pedig már a világ élvonalába tartozó alkotások születtek, főként a fotó-, a plakát-, illetve az iparművészet területén. 1948-tól speciális helyzetet eredményezett, hogy a művészek nagy része a tiltott vagy a tűrt kategóriába szorult, és munkáit csupán félhivatalos kiállítóhelyeken mutathatta be, egészen a rendszerváltás bekövetkeztéig.
A kötet öt neves művészettörténész szerzője - Bellák Gábor (Magyar Nemzeti Galéria), Jernyei Kiss János (Pázmány Péter Katolikus Egyetem), Keserü Katalin (ELTE), Mikó Árpád (MTA), valamint Szakács Béla Zsolt (PPKE és CEU) - nehéz feladatra vállalkozott. Több mint tizenegy évszázad művészetének történetét adják közre egyetlen kötetben, a festészet és a szobrászat mellett az építészet, a fotográfia, az iparművészet, illetve a XX. században a helyébe lépő design meghatározó áramlatait is figyelemmel kísérve.

Joseph Balsamo I-II.
"- Herceg
- mondta a grófné, réveteg pillantással.
- Tessék.
- Ki az a férfi ott, ott lejjebb, Guéménée mellett?
- Abban a porosz tiszti egyenruhában?
- Igen.
- Az a barna bőrű, fekete szemű, mozgékony arcú férfi? Az, grófné, alighanem valami főtiszt, akit őfelsége a porosz király küldött ide..."
Ez a párbeszéd Dubarry grófné, XV. Lajos francia király szeretője és Richelieu herceg, Franciaország marsallja között zajlott le.
De valóban, ki is ez a rejtélyes férfiú, ez a Joseph Balsamo "báró" - mert hiszen róla van szó -, aki szerepeit állandóan cserélgetve jelenik meg az olvasó előtt? Ki ez a szabadkőműves "Nagy Kofta", ez a kétezer esztendős, örök életű Acharat, ez az alkimista, aranycsináló, magnetizőr, múltba látó és jövendőmondó lélekidomár, aki párizsi, Szent Kolozs utcai rejtekhelyéről igazgatja a francia forradalom előkészületeit, sakkban tartja Párizs félelmetes rendőrfőnökét, s látnoki képességű médiumai, a sápatag vidéki bárólányka, Andrée, és a forróvérű, szenvedélyes olasz Lorenza révén a háttérből irányítja a francia politikát?
Dumas-nak a különös figura megformálásához valóságos történeti személy szolgált mintául: az a Cagliostro gróf néven ismert, palermói származású nemzetközi kalandor, aki Európa számos udvarában megfordult, és a legbefolyásosabb körökből szedte áldozatait.
E nem mindennapi személy kalandos, olykor borzongató históriája jó alkalmat ad az írónak, hogy felrajzolja a nagy francia forradalmat megelőző korszak súlyos eseményekkel terhes, zaklatott hétköznapjait is.
