How Politics Works
Discover everything you need to know about political history and thought, and the inner workings of governments all around the globe!
Combining clear, jargon-free language and bold, eye-catching graphics, How Politics Works is a comprehensive and user-friendly guide to all aspects of politics. Covering everything from political theory to methods of government, the book presents the ideas and theories of key political philosophers, leaders, movements, and activists in a uniquely visual and easy-to-understand way.
Explaining political ideas on a conceptual level, entries explore how they apply to governments, movements, and trends throughout history, along with 21st-century examples such as the #MeToo movement and #BlackLivesMatter. The book also shows how political history is affected by economics, sociology, and the role of the media - an ever-relevant issue in the age of "fake news" and "cancel culture", and the current distrust of the economic forces behind certain areas of the media. With a unique graphic approach to the topic, How Politics Works is the perfect introduction to the subject, and an ideal companion title to DK's The Politics Book in the 'Big Ideas' series.
With power to every page, this politics book explores:
-Simple, easy-to-understand graphics explain key ideas clearly and effectively
-Offers a practical, no-nonsense approach to each subject
-Fully comprehensive, covering all the key aspects of political philosophy, theory, and history
-Explains different systems of government and how they function
-Theory-led but will cover modern political phenomena such as "fake news" and recent political groups and movements such as BlackLivesMatter and Extinction Rebellion.
A must-have volume for readers seeking a simple and accessible guide to both politics and international relations, as well as students of politics or history, The Politics Book covers a wide range of topics, from populism to propaganda, moral leadership to manipulating elections and so much more. In today's climate, politics is engaging more people than ever before due to access to information via social media, with young influencers such as Greta Thunberg and Malala Yousafzai having incremental followings on platforms such a Instagram and Twitter.

Vondráčková Helena - Tvrdohlavá 2LP
KDO: Zpěvačka, tanečnice, stepařka a herečka Helena Vondráčková patří několik dekád k absolutní špičce domácí hudební scény. Její teritorium ale přesáhlo i daleko za hranice republiky - úspěchy slavila v mnoha zemích na několika kontinentech, je stálým hostem na slovenských, polských a německých pódiích. Hrála v několika úspěšných muzikálech a filmech (především televizním evergreenu Šíleně smutná princezna). Její poslední rolí je role sestřičky ve filmové komedii Ženská pomsta.
CO: Album původních písní produkoval Kája Mařík, který je zároveň autorem hudby u poloviny z nich a k jedné napsal spolu s Oldřichem Krejčovsem i text. Ostatní svoje skladby svěřil básníkovi Josefu Peterkovi. K dalším autorům, které zpěvačka oslovila, patří Ondřej Soukup, Lešek Wronka, Václav Noid Bárta, Vašo Patejdl, Lucia Šoralová a Jakub Lenz (aka Robin Mood). Mezi dalšími textaři se objevují erudovaní Jan Krůta, Gabriela Osvaldová, Tomáš Belko, Petr Šiška a Miro Jurika. K nazpívání dvou duetů přizvala Helena Vondráčková Olgu Lounovou a operní pěvkyni Vandu Šípovou. Jako bonus je na Tvrdohlavou zařazena titulní píseň z české filmové komedie Ženská pomsta. Album je nahrané na živé nástroje a Helena Vondráčková na něm exceluje v nejrůznějších hlasových polohách a hudebních náladách.

Unfree Speech
The must read book for anyone who cares about Hong Kong and democracy.
'Joshua Wong is a brave and inspiring young leader. Together we are one loud voice that cannot be silenced.' - Greta Thunberg
At what point do you stand up to power?
When he was 14, Joshua Wong made history. While the adults stayed silent, Joshua staged the first ever student protest in Hong Kong to oppose National Education - and won.
Since then, Joshua has led the Umbrella Movement, founded a political party, and rallied the international community around the anti-Extradition Bill protests, which have seen 2 million people - more than a quarter of the population - take to Hong Kong's streets. His actions have sparked worldwide attention, earned him a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, and landed him in jail twice.
Composed in three parts, Unfree Speech chronicles Joshua's path to activism, collects the letters he wrote as a political prisoner, and closes with a powerful and urgent call for all of us globally to defend our democratic values.
When we stay silent, no one is safe. When we free our speech, our voice becomes one.
'[Wong's] tenacious dynamism shines through Unfree Speech: a guide to mobilising for democracy and representation in and far beyond Hong Kong.' - Julia Lovell, award-winning author of Maoism
'If we want freedom, we need to learn from Hong Kong. With values, tactics, and courage, Joshua Wong shows us the way.' - Timothy Snyder, bestselling author of On Tyranny

Anna Karenina - DVD
Anna Karenina (Greta Garbo) kötelességtudó feleség és odaadó anya. Egy nő, aki majdnem teljesen elégedett sorsával. Egyetlen dolog hiányzik az életéből: a szenvedély. De minden megváltozik, amikor megismerkedik a sármos Vronsky gróffal. Anna a szerelem rabjává válik, és a grófért feladja házasságát, családját, társadalmi rangját, ...egész életét.
Tolsztoj világhírű regényét David O. Selznick producer bámulatos finomsággal, kincsként kezeli. A parádés szereposztásban látható többek közt Fredric March (mint Vronsky), Basil Rathbone, Maureen O'Sullivan és Freddie Bartholomew is. Clarence Brown kíváló rendezése a klasszikus történetet a vásznon is remekműként kelti életre, ám a film lelke mégis a csodálatos Greta Garbo, aki e megkapó alakításával kiérdemelte a New York-i filmkritikusok legjobb színésznőnek járó díját.

A Szivárvány könyvek új kötetében Gréta tíz év után egy bárpultnál fut bele egyetemi szerelmébe, aki csóró diákból lett kőgazdag vállalkozó, s csak egy dologban hasonlít arra a diákra, aki Gréta életének első férfi volt: még mindig ellenállhatatlanul vonzó. Gréta újságíró, de legnagyobb sikereit gasztrobloggerként éli meg. A véletlen találkozás pedig rádöbbenti, hogy a szerelmet nem lehet csak úgy eltemetni. A kötetben ízek és szenvedélyek tombolnak, s az elbűvölő sztorihoz még egy tucat finomság-recept is jár.

Travellers' Tales - Bags Unpacked
Much can be learned about a person from the manner in which they travel. From heiresses to actors, aristocrats to pop stars, writers, composers, dancers and designers, here are the personalities who have travelled through our modern era, whether by train, plane, car or canoe, accompanied by luggage that defines good taste.
With suitably glamorous style, over fifty individuals are described in witty and perceptive detail. Everyone who's anyone is here: from Madonna to Marilyn Monroe, from the Duchess of Windsor to Karl Lagerfeld, from Audrey Hepburn to Keith Richards, from the firm's eponymous founder Louis Vuitton to artist Jeff Koons, who has created his own controversial homage to the masters of art on the company's bags.
Every traveller has a tale to tell: every bag reveals a personal secret. In her canvas Louis Vuitton bag Greta Garbo never kept more than a pair of blue espadrilles, flannel pyjamas and some pots of her favourite jam. (But she had a trunk specially made for her seventy pairs of Ferragamo shoes.) Ernest Hemingway, who owned and lost several Vuitton trunks, rediscovered in 1957 notes for a novel that he'd absentmindedly left in a trunk in the basement of the Paris Ritz some thirty years before. Richard Burton made sure that Elizabeth Taylor always had enough Louis Vuitton trunks (as well as furs and jewels), through both their marriages; in fact, the trunks outlasted her next two husbands as well.

False Alarm
With hurricanes battering coast lines, sea level rise threatening entire countries with extinction and wildfires raging across broad swaths of America and the planet, it is hardly surprising that countering global warming has become a top priority for the developing world. In ten years, we have gone from arguing about whether climate change is real to wagering on how soon it will actually extinguish planet Earth. David Wallace-Wells' book The Uninhabitable Earth tops bestseller lists and Greta Thunberg is an international hero.
Children panic about their future, and adults wonder if it is even ethical to bring new life into the world. Enough, argues political scientist and bestselling author Bjorn Lomborg. Climate change, while real, is not the apocalyptic threat that we've been told it is.
There is no scientific evidence, for instance, that the world is suffering from more droughts, wildfires, or hurricanes than ever before. In fact, global death due the natural disaster is at an all-time low. The real problem is that with increasing affluence, more people are moving to riskier parts of the world - coastlines, areas with high wildfire risk - and building more expensive property there.
So the costs of natural disasters are rising, even though their incidence isn't - contributing to the impression that the world has become a far more dangerous place. Climate panic is based on bad science, and generates even worse policy. Around the world, we are currently spending about $500 billion annually on environmental issues and, with the many promises of zero carbon emissions soon, those costs could escalate to $10-20 trillion annually.
But these policies are not paying dividends in terms of solving global warming. The Paris Agreement, for instance, is the most expensive treaty in the history of the world -- and a terrible investment in the human future, destined to return only eleven cents on the dollar. Worse still, the money that goes to fund environmental initiatives crowds out other measures that could have a far more dramatic impact on human well-being, particularly in the developing world: by focusing on issues like immunization, education, birth control, and nutrition, we could increase GDP at a vastly higher rate than climate change threatens to lower it.
Measured and data-driven, False Alarm will convince you that almost everything you think about climate change is wrong -- and points the way towards making the world a vastly better, if slightly warmer, world for all.
Elmerülve
A titokzatos Árvay Gréta erotikus regénye egy szimultán történetfüzér.
Budapesti figurákat látunk bolyongani a városi dzsungelben, embereket, akik nagyon különböző társadalmi helyzetből érkeznek, nagyon különböző életélményeket cipelnek magukkal, és
nagyon különböző problémákkal küzdenek, de egyvalami közös bennük. Problémáik megoldását (vagy egyszerűen csak vágyaik beteljesülését) egy swingerklubban, a Mystique-ben találják meg. Egymásban elmerülve oldódnak fel feszültségeik.
Otthontalanságuk
otthona a ház - ahol egymásnak esnek. A háttérben zátonyra futott párkapcsolatok, kiégett sikeremberek, törtető libák és érzékeny művészek hol könnyeden derűs, hol nagyon is drámai sorstörténete.
Árvay Gréta Elmerülve című regénye egy örvénylő, buja bacchanália.

The Lives of Lucian Freud - Youth 1922 - 1968
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2019
'Brilliant ... Freud would have approved' DAILY TELEGRAPH
'Sparkling' SUNDAY TIMES
'Superlative ... packed with stories' GUARDIAN
'Brilliant and compendious ... It does justice to Lucian' FRANK AUERBACH
'A tremendous read. Anyone interested in British art needs it' ANDREW MARR, NEW STATESMAN
Though ferociously private, Lucian Freud spoke every week for decades to his close confidante and collaborator William Feaver - about painting and the art world, but also about his life and loves. The result is this a unique, electrifying biography, shot through with Freud's own words.
In Youth, the first of two volumes, Feaver conjures Freud's early childhood: Sigmund Freud's grandson, born into a middle-class Jewish family in Weimar Berlin, escaping Nazi Germany in 1934 before being dropped into successive English public schools. Following Freud through art school, his time in the Navy during the war, his post-war adventures in Paris and Greece, and his return to Soho - consorting with duchesses and violent criminals, out on the town with Greta Garbo and Princess Margaret - Feaver traces a brilliant, difficult young man's coming of age.
An account of a century told through one of its most important artists, The Lives of Lucian Freud is a landmark in the story its subject and in the art of biography itself.

Ég a házunk
Ég a házunk, közben mi ülünk az asztalnál és veszekszünk. Egyesek szerint nem is ég. Mások szerint nem teljesen biztos, ezért várjunk, amíg több bizonyítékunk lesz. Néhányan azt mondják, igenis ég, azonnal tennünk kell valamit. A füst egyre fojtogatóbb, a meleg elviselhetetlen: ki tudja, kijutunk-e élve? És akkor felpattan az asztaltól valaki: "tűz van!". Egyesek szerint ez botrány, hiszen még hátra van a desszert és a szivar, és nincs az az isten, hogy ők erről lemondjanak. A többiek hőbörögnek: miért pont ő beszél, hiszen az iskolában a helye, nem szaktekintélye a témának, és különben is, biztosan áll valaki a háta mögött. Néhányan viszont elkezdik kiabálni: "tűz van, ég a házunk!". Az emberiség önképe szerint az első két csoportba tartoznak a "normálisak", a harmadikba a "szélsőségesek". Törvényszerű hát, hogy egy "nem normális" kislány legyen a globális környezetvédelmi küzdelem vezéralakja.
A Thunberg-Ernman család életrajzából kiderül, hogyan nőtt fel az aspergeres Greta, milyen hatalmas áldozatokat kellett vállalnia szüleinek, valamint hogyan alakult az életük és a klímavédelem ügye az elmúlt években.
Reméljük, hogy - részben e könyv olvastán is - egyre többen kiáltanak majd tüzet, mielőtt még túl késő lenne.
Hats by Madame Paulette
This beautifully designed and abundantly illustrated book is the first to focus on the career of Madame Paulette (1900-1994), Pariss queen of milliners and one of the most important figures in 20th-century fashion. Paulette's fame was international: her exquisite creations featured regularly on the pages of Vogue and Harpers Bazaar, and crowned the heads of the rich and famous across the globe, among them Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, Princess Grace of Monaco and the Duchess of Windsor. She collaborated with Cecil Beaton on the award-winning hats for My Fair Lady and Gigi, and over the course of her long career designed headwear for such legendary Paris couturiers as Pierre Balmain, Pierre Cardin, Emmanuel Ungaro and Thierry Mugler. A fascinating character and a true fashion pioneer, she is a source of inspiration for some of the world's most important milliners today, including Stephen Jones, who has contributed a foreword.

Beaton in Vogue
Cecil Beaton (1904-1980) was a man of dazzling charm and style, and his talents were many. In his twenties, he recorded London and New York society in needle-sharp words and drawings, and then, at Conde Nasts insistence, in photographs. The resulting work earned him a place among the great chroniclers of fashion. In this classic book, now in a sumptuous paperback edition after many years out of print, Josephine Ross selects and introduces articles, drawings and photographs by Beaton dating from the 1920s to the 1970s. It includes Beatons essays and vignettes on high society and its denizens, as well as such stars of the arts as Greta Garbo, Ralph Richardson, Pablo Picasso and David Hockney. It also reproduces Beatons war photographs, drawings and writings, from bombed London to China and the North Africa Desert. Beaton loved "Vogue", and his contributions testify to the wit, imagination and professionalism that the man and the magazine always had in common.

War and Peace
This is the official tie-in edition to the BBC adaptation of War and Peace with an exclusive introduction written by Andrew Davies. Tolstoy's beguiling masterpiece entwines love, death and determinism with Russia's war with Napoleon and its effects on those swept up by the terror it brings. The lives of Pierre, Prince Andrei and Natasha are changed forever as conflict rages throughout the early nineteenth century. Following the rise and fall of some of society's most influential families, this truthful and poignant epic is as relevant today as ever. This six part adaptation has been written by Bafta-winning author Andrew Davies and will be directed by Tom Harper (Peaky Blinders, The Scouting Book for Boys, Woman in Black: Angel of Death). Accompanied by a stellar cast including Paul Dano (12 Years a Slave, Prisoners, There Will Be Blood) as the idealistic Pierre, James Norton (Happy Valley, Belle, Grantchester) as the ambitious Prince Andrei and Lily James (Cinderella, Downton Abbey) as the impulsive beauty Natasha. It also features the legendary Jim Broadbent (Moulin Rouge, Harry Potter, Longford), Gillian Anderson (The Fall, The X-Files), Greta Scacchi (White Mischief, Presumed Innocent) and many more.
