Guitar - The World's Most Seductive Instrument
Celebrate the world's most seductive instrument. An obsessive, full-colour gift book, Guitar captures the soul, the significance, the history, the magic, the raw mojo of the guitar in all of its beauty and variety.
Written by David Schiller, author of Guitars and the Guitars wall calendar, here are 200 instruments in stunning detail. Iconic instruments - Leo Fender's history-making "Broadcaster," Les Paul's log, the Gretsch Country Gentleman, the trio of Martins (D-18, D-28, OM-28) collected, coveted and also copied by every important guitar builder since. Historic instruments - Eric Clapton's Brownie, George Harrison's hand-painted Rocky, Prince's Yellow Cloud, Willie Nelson's Trigger, the Hauser that was inextricably bound up with Andres Segovia's preeminent artistry. Hand-carved archtop jazz guitars, pinnacles of the luthier's art, from John D'Angelico to Ken Parker. There are instruments from a new wave of female builders, including Shelley D. Park, Joshia de Jonge, and Rosie Heydrich of England, with a guitar she built out of 5,000 year-old wood retrieved from a peat bog. And quirky, one-of-a-kind guitars, like Juha Ruokangas's steampunk masterpiece, "Captain Nemo," and Linda Manzer's Pikasso II built for Pat Metheny - four necks, 72 strings, and a thousand pounds of pressure.
Marrying pure visual pleasure with layers of information, Guitar is a glorious gift for any guitar lover.

Ako skrotiť drzú Soňu
Všetko bolo u nás v Žabykláčove úplne v poriadku, kým k nám neprišla Drzá Soňa. Sme malé mestečko a naša babka hovorieva, že tu vidí do taniera každý každému. Máme jedno námestie, radnicu, na vŕšku hrad a našu slávnu školu. Práve tam chodím ja, Čalabúnová, Žuvačková, Vreteno alebo slabinger Vášnivý a všetci sme žiakmi piatej triedy. Nie je nás veľa, asi pätnásť, pretože ako hovorím, Žabykláčov je malé mestečko medzi kopcami a lesmi, a je dosť možné, že ste o ňom nikdy nepočuli. Učitelia nás veľmi radi nemajú, vraj všetci skončíme v polepšovni, ale my si to nemyslíme. Možno trošku hneváme, ale kto nie? A tak vlastne viete všetko potrebné - v Žabykláčove sa jednoducho rozpútala vojna piatakov proti prísnej pani učiteľke. Aj keď to občas vyzerá, že je to úplne naopak. V každom prípade príhody detí, rodičov aj učiteľského zboru, ktoré sa stali počas druhého polroka v jednej malej základnej škole, vám prinesú veľa zábavy a inšpiráciu pre vaše vlastné huncútstva.Knihu ilustroval vynikajúci slovenský ilustrátor Juraj Martiška.

The Garden Jungle
**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**
The Garden Jungle is about the wildlife that lives right under our noses, in our gardens and parks, between the gaps in the pavement, and in the soil beneath our feet. Wherever you are right now, the chances are that there are worms, woodlice, centipedes, flies, silverfish, wasps, beetles, mice, shrews and much, much more, quietly living within just a few paces of you.
Dave Goulson gives us an insight into the fascinating and sometimes weird lives of these creatures, taking us burrowing into the compost heap, digging under the lawn and diving into the garden pond. He explains how our lives and ultimately the fate of humankind are inextricably intertwined with that of earwigs, bees, lacewings and hoverflies, unappreciated heroes of the natural world.
The Garden Jungle is at times an immensely serious book, exploring the environmental harm inadvertently done by gardeners who buy intensively reared plants in disposable plastic pots, sprayed with pesticides and grown in peat cut from the ground. Goulson argues that gardens could become places where we can reconnect with nature and rediscover where food comes from. With just a few small changes, our gardens could become a vast network of tiny nature reserves, where humans and wildlife can thrive together in harmony rather than conflict.
For anyone who has a garden, and cares about our planet, this book is essential reading.

Studies of Homeric Greece
Kniha je přepracovaným a doplněným přehledem archeologie a historie pozdně mykénského a geometrického Řecka a společenství geometrických stylů rané doby železné v Evropě a severní Eurasii, ve vztahu k egyptským a předovýchodním civilizacím: období od 13. do 8. století př. Kr., tzv. axiální době lidských dějin a počátkům přechodu od předfilozofického k filozofickému myšlení, od mýtu k logu.
Kniha obsahuje mnoho mapek a kreslených ilustrací, černobílé a barevné přílohy.
Svazek kombinuje svědectví archeologických pramenů s obrazem světa u Homéra a Hesioda a líčení doby Davidovy a Šalamounovy ve Starém Zákoně, věnuje se počátkům soukromých obchodních výprav fonických a řeckých, předkolonizačních aktivit a rané foinické a řecké kolonizace, době přechodu od systému centrálních pyramidálních struktur říší doby bronzové k řeckému modelu městského státu, řízeného nikoli už božskou autoritou, ale ústavou městské obce, vzniklou jako výsledek dohody jejích svobodných občanů, osobní nezávislé inteligence a jejích schopností, které umožnily mimo jiné i plné ovládnutí sil zvířat.
Vyspělé uměnní jezdecké rozvinuly především národy eurasijské stepi, zatímco rozvoj mořeplavby a obchodu započali Foiničané (mj. objevem hláskového písma, umožňujícího přesný záznam slov), a dále rozvinuli především Řekové a jejich nejbližší sousedé na východě, Lýdové a Kárové; obdobný vývoj proběhl také u starozákonních Hebrejců v první době královské.
The volume brings a kind of companion to the subject of study of archaeology and history of Late Mycenaean to Geometric Greece and of the koine of Early Iron Age Geometric styles in Europe and Upper Eurasia, ca 1300-700 BC, in relation to their Near Eastern neighbours. The age around the so-called axial period of human history, of transition from Bronze to Iron Age, from the prephilosophical to philosophical mind, from mythical level of human thought to logos, is discussed in the frame of combining several approaches into a synthetic picture revisiting the previous books and papers by the author, in an attempt to combine the witness of archaelogical sources with the worlds of Homer and Hesiod, and the first private Phoenician and Greek merchant ventures. It surveys the birth of Greek autonomous city states, of their art and their free citizens. The book contains many maps and drawings illustrating the disussed subjects, black and white and colour photographs.

Holmes Crazy Competitions
Amazing Craze
A guide to the world’s weirdest, most thrilling contests
Whether it’s flinging frozen rats or parading in holly evergreens, racing snails or carrying wives, human beings have long displayed their creativity in wild, odd, and sometimes just wonderful rituals and competitions. To show what lengths we’ll go to uphold our eccentric customs, British American graphic designer Nigel Holmes channels his belief in the power of hilarity to bring together a bewilderingly funny tour around the globe in search of incredible events, all dryly explained with brilliant infographics in WOW! 100 Crazy Contests and Celebrations from around the World.
You’ll encounter the startling facts behind peat-bog snorkelling in Wales (wet suits recommended), hotdog-swallowing in the USA (tip: avoid breakfast), or who can make a baby cry quickest in Japan. Through this gallimaufry of gamesmanship and passion, an endearingly warm and affectionate portrait of human endeavor and good humor emerges as Holmes proves, page after page, that when it comes to feats of bravery, endurance, or sheer nonsense, the world is united as one in the fine, and often hilarious, way of celebrating culture.
“This book is all about the infinite joie de vivre that cultures across the world can offer. Through humorous infographics, Nigel Holmes reveals how humankind is united by the spirit of good-natured competition.”

Science, Order, and Creativity
One of the foremost scientists and thinkers of our time, David Bohm worked alongside Oppenheimer and Einstein. In Science, Order and Creativity he and physicist F. David Peat propose a return to greater creativity and communication in the sciences. They ask for a renewed emphasis on ideas rather than formulae, on the whole rather than fragments, and on meaning rather than mere mechanics. Tracing the history of science from Aristotle to Einstein, from the Pythagorean theorem to quantum mechanics, the authors offer intriguing new insights into how scientific theories come into being, how to eliminate blocks to creativity and how science can lead to a deeper understanding of society, the human condition and the human mind itself. Science, Order and Creativity looks to the future of science with elegance, hope and enthusiasm.
