Psychiatrické interview
Cenný průvodce pro psychiatry, sociální pracovníky, personální manažery a poradce. Byl sepsán na základě přednášek H. S. Sullivana z let 1944-45 a 1946-47, jež byly primárně určeny psychiatrům, ale i všem, kteří se účastní dynamického rozhovoru. V knize je psychiatrie definována jako oblast studia interpersonálních vztahů, důraz je kladen především na interakci účastníků v sociální situaci. Psychiatrické interview je zvláštní instancí interpersonálních vztahů a termín, jak je zde užíván, se netýká výlučně setkání psychiatra s pacientem. Interview je charakterizováno jako setkání dvou lidí, z nichž jeden je odborník v mezilidských vztazích, druhý pak klient, dotazovaný nebo pacient, který očekává, že bude mít z rozhovoru s tímto odborníkem nějaký užitek. Kniha není schematickým návodem k tomu, co by měl tazatel dělat při vedení rozhovoru, spíše má podněcovat k přemýšlení kohokoli, kdo interview řídí. V tomto smyslu může být přínosem nejen pro psychology, psychiatry, lékaře, ale i další pracovníky ve zdravotnictví, sociálních službách či v personalistice.

Golden Bough (Oxford World´s Classics)
A classic study of the beliefs and institutions of mankind, and the progress through magic and religion to scientific thought, The Golden Bough has a unique status in modern anthropology and literature. First published in 1890, The Golden Bough was eventually issued in a twelve-volume edition (1906-15) which was abridged in 1922 by the author and his wife. That abridgement has never been reconsidered for a modern audience. In it some of the more controversial passages were dropped, including Frazer's daring speculations on the Crucifixion of Christ. For the first time this one-volume edition restores Frazer's bolder theories and sets them within the framework of a valuable introduction and notes. A seminal work of modern anthropolgy, The Golden Bough also influenced many twentieth-century writers, including D H Lawrence, T S Eliot, and Wyndham Lewis. Its discussion of magical types, the sacrificial killing of kings, the dying god, and the scapegoat is given fresh pertinence in this new edition.

Televizní technika DVB-T
Publikace "Televizní technika DVB-T" je koncipována jako souhrn všech dostupných poznatků o digitální televizi, je určena spíše profesionálům a zvídavým amatérům. Autor se snažil, aby bylo vše podstatné po ruce v jedné knize, přičemž je celá problematika probírána do rozumné hloubky.
V úvodních kapitolách najdete základní porovnání mezi analogovou a digitální zemskou (pozemskou) televizí - výhody a nevýhody obou systémů. Zajímavá je část charakterizující mobilní příjem a jeho výpočty (Dopplerův kmitočtový posuv), tabulky minimálních intenzit pokrytí a další užitečné informace.
V následující teoretické části jsou postupně rozebrány způsoby komprimování obrazu a zvuku, protichybová ochrana, princip nově vyvinutého systému DVB-H (Hanheld) a také nové platformy interaktivní televize MHP (Multimedia Home Platform), popis fungování platformy MHP a její interaktivity v systému DVB.
Zřejmě nejzajímavější je v knize část o měření DVB-T, která vysvětluje význam parametrů a popisuje principy jejich měření (vf parametry a parametry týkající se kanálového kódování). Pro úplnost kniha obsahuje informace o vysílačích DVB-T a problematice sítě SFN.
Velmi prakticky je pojata část, která je zaměřena na problematiku televizních rozvodů signálu DVB-T, často také nazývanými jako domovní rozvody STA. Téma rovněž úzce souvisí s kabelovými rozvody. Kapitola je orientována zejména na zkušenosti s volbou moderních kvalitních prvků a pojednává také o tom, jaké důsledky nesprávná volba přínáší.
Závěrečné části popisují kategorie přijímačů (set-top boxy, PCI karty, externí USB přijímače, iDTV a další) a zájemci zde najdou také recenze vybraných typů přijímačů. Zajímavá je příloha, kterou tvoří barevné mapky pokrytí různých oblastí České a Slovenské republiky.
Publikace "Televizní technika DVB-T" je určena těm, kteří se systémem zabývají vážněji, tj. instalatérům televizních rozvodů a anténářům, kontrolním a servisním technikům, projektantům, obsluze televizních vysílačů, správcům televizních rozvodů, vyučujícím a přednášejícím, a také těm, kteří rozhodují nebo přijdou do styku na jakékoliv řídicí úrovni s digitální televizí.

Days of the Cougar
This kitty has claws. Through the cougar's eyes: the road to sexual liberation. 'My life had become a playground, and it was exactly what I wanted,' writes photographer Liz Earls in the introduction to this groundbreaking book detailing her transform
ation from middle-aged, overweight Human Resources director to sexual adventurer, self-portraitist, and unabashed cougar. A cougar, as defined by the "Urban Dictionary", is "A 35+ year old female who is on the hunt for a much younger, energetic, will
ing-to-do-anything male." For Earls that "anything" must include collaborating in her quest to capture authentic human passion. Since losing 100 pounds at age 40, quitting her straight job, and embarking on a career as an erotic photographer, Earls h
as documented her sexual experiences with dozens of men. Her work has been described as a midlife version of Natacha Merritt's "Digital Diaries", as intensely personal, and as sexually unbounded. She speculates that a woman who has as much sex as she
does - four to six times a day with multiple partners - creates an aura that draws new men to her. It seems to be true, as "Days of the Cougar" graphically illustrates in over 250 photographs of Earls seducing men from 19 to 32 years of age. When sh
e decided to devote the second half of her life to pleasure, Earls realized that, "If I just shot on the sidelines as an observer it would be boring. I had to feel it too, to put everything I'd recently learned about my sexuality into it." She never
deviates from this path, exploring every aspect of her lust for young men in graphic color and black and white photos, accompanied by diary entries, e-mails, and text messages shared with her eager prey. Sexy, shocking, and surprisingly loving, "Days
of the Cougar" reworks our notions of age and attraction, and will inspire anyone feeling trapped by society's expectations.

by full page tables including scale, weight, and slope increments. The extensive appendix contains a general index, one on typefaces (more than 300 are depicted in the book), an index on over 250 type designers, an exhaustive index on type founders f
rom Gutenberg to present, a graphical dictionary, and a bibliography for further reading. The original Dutch edition "Letterfontein" received a Certificate for Typographic Excellence from Type Directors Club New York (TDC) in 2010, and a red-dot desi
gn award from the Design Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. This title is thoroughly hardbound in half linen with three ribbon bookmarks. It includes 144 pages appendix with resourceful glossary and indices. It has convenient typographic ruler wit
h conversions between four measurement systems and hidden shortcuts for your Apple keyboard! Editor and author: Joep Pohlen and Geert Setola are graphic designers, both devoted with heart and soul to professional typography. Joep Pohlen founded Dutch

Now a new employer has recruited him for a last-chance run against an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence.

Csárdás
Diane Pearson regénye irántunk, magyarok iránt érzett szenvedélyből született.
A regényt olvasva önmagunkról is többet tudunk meg. Kiderül hogy ma, a XXI. század második évtizedében, a gazdasági válságok, a szétesni készülő világok, a szétziláltság h
áborúiban, vannak-e még elsírni való könnyeink, van-e bennünk vágy, hogy sokadszor is szembesüljünk a szembesülhetetlennel, a két háború még mindig fájó, el nem felejthető sebeivel, az önmagát ismétlő történelem tragikumával, a mások megsemmisítésére
szinte azonnal kész emberi gonoszsággal, az újra meg újra megjelenő pusztításvágy őrületével.
Megtudjuk, van-e bennünk elég érzékenység egy ilyen nagyformátumú vállalkozás szereplőinek csodálatos-meghökkentő átváltozásaira, az erős nők portréira, a
gyengeség-gyengédség pillanataira? Elhisszük-e az emberi-emberséges gesztusok, az örök emberi érzések csodáit, azt, hogy sokadszor is bebizonyosodik: nem élhetünk nélkülük. Elindulunk-e a szereplőkkel, és velük tartunk-e, hogy azután annyira hozzánk
nőjenek, hogy el sem akarjuk elengedni őket?
Ami értékes, nem adja magát könnyen: ez a regény is kiköveteli a jussát, s annak, akitől ezt megkapja, gazdag és eredeti gondolatokat, felejthetetlenül szépen megkomponált képeket ajándékoz.

The Freelance Way
Největší bestseller Melvilu vydaný po roce 2016 míří do světa!
A protože freelancing (neboli podnikání na volné noze) je celosvětový fenomén, který Robertova kniha rozebírá do větší hloubky i šíře než zahraniční tituly, rozhodli jsme se ji vydat také v angličtině a dalších jazycích. Půjde o nejodvážnější vydavatelský počin v 12leté historii Melvilu, a pokud se podaří, téměř jistě otevře cestu do světa také dalším českým autorům literatury faktu.
Robert knihu přepracoval pro mezinárodní čtenářské publikum a přidal přes 350 změn, obrázků, cvičení, zdrojů a příkladů ze světa včetně doporučení, která mu exkluzivně zaslali světoví autoři David Allen (GTD), David H. Hansson (Basecamp, Restart), Adam Grant (Dávat a brát) a Austin Kleon (Ukaž, co děláš). Úvodní část zkrátil a výsledný rukopis je o třetinu kratší než 760stránková česká předloha.
Oslovili jsme zkušeného překladatele Erika Pipera, který jako rodilý mluvčí rukopis převedl do svěží soudobé angličtiny, přičemž zachoval styl a ducha originálu. Na textu dále pracoval americký editor Scott Hudson a aby toho nebylo málo, Robert ještě přizval tucet zkušených freelancerů z půlky světa na závěrečnou oponenturu. Výsledkem je strhující odborná kniha, která se čte jako po másle.

Let'S Call The Whole Thing Of
Love means never having to say you're sorry. No, love is in the air. No, love is the sweetest thing. No, it's soft as an easy chair. No, it's a stranger in an open car. No, it's a many-splendoured thing. No, it's the drug. No, it's like a butterfly. Oh, let's call the whole thing off. Love stories don't always involve hearts and flowers and walks in the park. This sparkling collection of the world's greatest love quarrels, from Chekhov to Colette, from D. H. Lawrence to Jhumpa Lahiri, features love stories for every mood and occasion. Here are new lovers testing the ground, cosy couples enjoying a quiet squabble before bedtime, and exes intent on picking up where they left off. Often love quarrels start with trivial matters, such as a bride's new hat in Dorothy Parker's "Here We Are" or a choice of bedtime book in Jackie Kay's "You Go When You Can No Longer Stay". But it doesn't usually take long for the stakes to be raised. Love is a risky business!

Michelangelo Complete Works
Before reaching the tender age of thirty, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) had already sculpted David and Pieta, two of the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. Like fellow Florentine Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo was a shining s
tar of the Renaissance and a genius of consummate virtuosity. His achievements as a sculptor, painter, draughtsman, and architect are uniqueno artist before or after him has ever produced such a vast, multi-faceted, and wide-ranging oeuvre. Only a h
andful of other painters and sculptors have attained a comparable social status and enjoyed a similar artistic freedom. This is demonstrated not only by the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel but also by Michelangelos monumental sculptures and his uncon
ventional architectural designs, whose forms went far beyond the accepted vocabulary of his day. Such was his talent that Michelangelo was considered a demigod by his contemporaries and was the subject of two biographies during his lifetime. Adoratio

nt of Robert Harris' most accomplished novel to date. Compellingly written in Tiro's voice, it takes us inside the violent, treacherous world of Roman politics, to describe how one man - clever, compassionate, devious, vulnerable - fought to reach th
e top. 'Sometimes it is foolish to articulate an ambition too early - exposing it prematurely to the laughter and scepticism of the world can destroy it before it is even properly born. But sometimes the opposite occurs, and the very act of mentionin
g a thing makes it suddenly seem possible, even plausible. That was how it was that night. When Cicero pronounced the word "consul" he planted it in the ground like a standard for us all to admire. And for a moment we glimpsed the brilliant, starry f
uture through his eyes, and saw that he was right: that if he took down Verres, he had a chance; that he might - just - with luck - go all the way to the summit...' Robert Harris states: 'This novel grows out of a thirty-five year obsession with poli
tics, by which I mean politics as a contact sport. I can enjoy a good election anywhere and I think that what makes this book unusual is not that it draws the parallel (a cliche now) between the US and Rome, but that it goes back to the beginnings of
everything which makes politics so fascinating - oratory, strategising, electioneering, manipulation of public opinion, the sheer addictive exhilaration of politics. I have always followed politics as others might follow football, and Cicero is fasc
inating to me because he's the ultimate professional in the ultimate sport. It's this universality which is important'.

Chicken with Plums
In November 1955, Nasser Ali Khan, one of Iran's most celebrated tar players, is in search of a new instrument. His beloved tar has been broken. But no matter what tar he tries, none of them sound right. Brokenhearted, Nasser Ali Khan decides that li
fe is no longer worth living. He takes to his bed, renouncing the world and all of its pleasures. This is the story of the eight days he spends preparing to surrender his soul. As the days pass and Nasser Ali Khan grows weaker, those who love him - h
is wife, his children, his siblings - gather round, incredulous, to try to comfort him. Every visitor stirs up a memory, and in the course of this week, Nasser Ali Khan revisits his entire life, a life defined by three relationships in particular. He
remembers his late mother, who sacrificed everything for his revolutionary brother, but who also, in the last week of her life, found solace only in smoking and listening to him play his tar; his angry wife, who can't forgive him his melancholy and
irresponsibility; and Irane, his first love, whose father forbade her to marry a poor musician and inflicted the wound that fuelled his music. The pieces of Nasser Ali Khan's story slowly fall into place, and as they do, we begin to understand him. B
y the time the eighth day dawns, having witnessed Nasser Ali Khan communing with Sufi mystics, Sophia Loren, the spirit of his late mother, his own demons and, bravely, with Azrael, the angel of death - we feel privileged to have known him. Brilliant
ly weaving together the past, present and future to explore the successes and joys, failures and disappointments of Nasser Ali Khan's life and through his story, the meaning of any of our lives - Marjane Satrapi has also once again presented us with
a complex and deeply human portrait of the men and women of her country, and of pre-revolution Iran itself. She delivers this tremendous story about life and death, and the fear and courage both require, with her trademark humour and insight. "Chicke
n With Plums" is Marjane Satrapi's finest achievement to date.

Mozgásban - Egy élet
Amikor Oliver Sacks tizenkét éves volt, egy éles szemű tanára ezt írta a bizonyítványába: Sacks még sokra viheti, ha képes lesz féken tartani magát.
Ma már tudjuk, hogy Sackset soha semmi nem volt képes féken tartani. A Mozgásban című önéletrajzi könyvét az első oldaltól ahol a motorkerékpárok és a sebesség iránti rajongó fiúként tűnik fel az utolsóig nyughatatlan energia hatja át. Miközben az élményeiről mesél hogyan élt a hatvanas évek elején kezdő neurológusként, drogproblémákkal küzdve Kaliforniában, majd New Yorkban, ahol egy krónikus betegek számára berendezett kórház eldugott termeiben egy rég elfeledett betegségre bukkant , azt is nyomon követhetjük, hogy a páciensei iránti elkötelezettség hogyan vált egyre inkább az élete meghatározó elemévé.
Sacks leplezetlen őszintéséggel és humorral mutatja be, hogy ugyanaz a szenvedély hajtotta a fizikai kihívások során ha úszott vagy éppen súlyt emelt , mint az agy titkainak fáradhatatlan kutatása közben. Mesél romantikus és intellektuális szerelmi kalandjairól, a családja és a hazája elhagyása miatti bűntudatáról, a skizofrén bátyjával való kapcsolatáról és azokról az írókról és tudósokról Thom Gunnról, A. R. Lurijáról, W. H. Audenről, Gerald Edelmanről, Francis Crickről , akik hatással voltak rá.
A Mozgásban egy páratlanul eredeti orvos és író története, aki megmutatta, milyen sokféle és alapvető módon határozza meg emberi mivoltunkat az agyunk működése.
