The Crystal Skull
In a spellbinding blend of history, myth, and science, bestselling novelist Manda Scott unleashes a thriller that sweeps from the secrets of the Mayans to the court of a sixteenth-century queen to a shattering end-times prophecy. “It’s a lump of rock, Stella, nothing more. No stone is worth dying for.” Except it’s not just a lump of rock. It’s a blue crystal skull made by the Maya to save the world from ruin, a sapphire so perfect, so powerful that for centuries men have killed to own or destroy it.Ancient prophecies say that if the thirteen skulls already in existence are not reunited, the world will end on December 21, 2012. Cedric Owen, the skull’s last Keeper, died so that it might keep its secret for the next four centuries. Now Stella Cody has found it, and someone has already tried to kill her. Like Owen, she’s being hunted—but by whom?Desperate to unravel the mystery of the crystal skull, Stella must decode Cedric Owen’s coded writings, sketches and ciphers no scholar has been able to unravel. What she discovers is astounding: a shocking secret prophecy…and the staggering puzzle of four terrifying creatures, thirteen precious stones, and what will happen if Cedric Owen’s crystal skull falls into the wrong hands. But time is against Stella. She has only days—hours—left to uncover the only secret that may yet save the world.12.21.12The date is set. Time is running out.The end of the world starts now.From the Hardcover edition.

Escape to Perdition
Sometimes the only choice is an escape to perdition. A debut thriller for fans of John Le Carré and Stella Rimington.
Prague 2015. Herbert Biely, aged hero of the Prague Spring, stands on the brink of an historic victory, poised to reunite the Czech and Slovak Republics 26 years after the Velvet Revolution. The imminent Czech elections are the final stage in realizing his dream of reunification, but other parties have their own agendas and plans for the fate of the region. A shadowy collective, masked as an innocuous European Union Institute, will do anything to preserve the status quo. Institute operative Peter Lowe’s mission is to prevent reunification by the most drastic of measures. Yet Peter is not all that he seems—a deeply troubled man, desperate to escape the past, his resentment towards himself, his assignment, and his superiors deepens as he questions not just the cause, but his growing feelings for the mission target. As alliances shift and the election countdown begins, Prague becomes the focal point for intrigue on an international scale. The body count rises, options fade, and Peter’s path to redemption is clouded in a maelstrom of love, deception, and murder—can he confront his past to save the future?
Wings of the Dove
She found herself, for the first moment, looking at the mysterious portrait through tears. Perhaps it was her tears that made it just then so strange and fair ...the face of a young woman, all splendidly drawn, down to the hands, and splendidly dressed ...And she was dead, dead, dead'. Emerging from the grit and stigma of poverty to a life of fairytale privilege under the wing of her aunt, the beautiful and financially ambitious Kate Croy is already romantically involved with promising journalist Merton Densher when they become acquainted with Milly Theale, a New York socialite of immense wealth. Learning of Milly's mortal illness and passionate attraction to Densher, Kate sets the scene for a romantic betrayal intended to secure her lasting financial security. As the dying Milly retreats within the carnival splendour of a Venetian palazzo, becoming the frail hub of a predatory circle of fortune-seekers, James unfolds a resonant, brooding tale of doomed passion, betrayal, human resilience and remorse. The "Penguin English Library" - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Karácsonyi meglepetés és más történetek
Egy nap van már csak karácsonyig, és még annyi a teendő, az ember azt sem tudja, hol áll a feje!
Romy például rohan a reptérre, mert Franciaországban várja a pasija, hogy ott ünnepeljenek. De mi lesz, ha a hóvihar miatt nem száll fel gép?
Ginny és Ben karácsonyra időzítették a nászútjukat. Egy romantikus vendégházban szeretnék tölteni ünnepeket, a szállásról azonban kiderül, hogy van vele egy kis gond...
Fenelláékhoz megérkeznek a barátai, akik ikerbabáik mellett egy francia fiút is magukkal hoznak. S hogy még nagyobb legyen a káosz, Fenella férjének szülei is bejelentkeznek...
Stella az apjától örökölt erdei házban karácsonyozik. S bár az eredeti tervek szerint egyedül lett volna, váratlanul társaságot kap...
A barátság kötelez, vallja Jo, és rááll, hogy a barátnője sznob munkaadójának és vendégeinek megfőzi és feltálalja az ünnepi ebédet, de úgy, hogy ne vegyék észre a személycserét...
Ellának hivatása, hogy szebbé tegye mások karácsonyát, de nincs mindig könnyű helyzetben. Vajon boldogul a mogorva nagybácsival és a nála karácsonyozó rokongyerekekkel is?
Hat szívmelengető és humoros történet, amellyel a nagy rohanásban is könnyedén hangolódhatunk rá az ünnepekre.
Ősi Magyarország
Hogyan lehet a valóságnak megfelelő képet alkotni egy nép őstörténelméről? Az őstörténelemről képet adó krónikákat a 19. század óta hiteltelennek minősítették, s ezzel a népek eredeti önazonosságának történelmi alapját hivatalosan megszüntették. Az új képet rendszerint az összehasonlító nyelvészetre alapozták. Csakhogy a nyelvészeti adat-együttesek történelmi adatok híján számtalan önkényes értelmezésre adtak módot. Hasonló a helyzet a régészeti és a genetikai adatokkal is.
Ebben a helyzetben a történelem társ-tudományainak teljeskörű figyelembe vétele a követendő út, a természetföldrajzi, az embertani, genetikai, régészeti, vallástörténeti, népzene- és népmese-kutatási, nyelvészeti eredmények összesítését, a vizsgált körzet népeinek máig fennmaradt nemzeti eredettudatát és a legmegbízhatóbb történelmi források adatait összevetve. Könyvünkben e tudományok eredményeit annak az új, átfogóan ökológiai tudománynak az alapján értelmezzük, amely lényegében megegyezik az ősi eurázsiai civilizáció élet-, közösség- és Természet-központú világnézetével, és így alkalmas arra, hogy az ősműveltség fennmaradt nyomait saját, korabeli összefüggéseikben értelmezzük. A 10 szaktudomány fejezeteit a témakörök szakértői lektorálták, Németh Zsolt (természettudomány), Gyarmathy István (természetföldrajz), Török Tibor (genetika), Juhász Zoltán (népzenekutatás), Hoppál Mihály (vallástörténelem, népmesekutatás), Hudy Árpád és Tomaji Atilla (nyelvészet).
Legfőbb eredményünk az, hogy a székely-magyarság Kárpát-medencei őshazája mellett létezett egy átfogóbb összefüggésrendszerű "második őshazánk", a sztyeppénél jóval nagyobb körzetre kiterjedő eurázsiai Puszta, az Ősi Magyarország. Fény derül arra, hogy a Pusztán az őskorban jött létre az az ősi eurázsiai civilizáció, amelyből a helybeli műveltségekkel összhangban kifejlődött a mezopotámiai, az egyiptomi, kínai és indiai civilizáció.

Vogue Colouring Book
"...the latest addition to the genre is the most stylish yet, comprising images from 1950s Vogue....Even in monochrome the Vogue Colouring Book is a masterful creation, transporting you back to the billowing layers, long gloves and poised hats of the 1950s." Stella magazine.
This, the first colouring book from British VOGUE, has been created by award-winning writer, fashion editor, curator and Royal College of Art Professor, Iain R Webb.
Celebrating the centenary of British VOGUE, these hand-drawn artworks are inspired by iconic images from the magazine in the 1950s - an era of hats and matching gloves, haughty elegance and hourglass silhouettes (a period that continues to inspire contemporary designers including Miuccia Prada and Dolce & Gabbana).
The book features a glamorous dream wardrobe of luxurious ballgowns and soigné cocktail dresses, smart suits and dramatic accessories by key designers including Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy and Chanel. The accompanying captions offer fashion and style tips (often highly amusing in hindsight) and are taken from the original pages of British VOGUE. The c90 artworks can be coloured in in the spirit of the original images that inspired them or embellished with whatever colours and patterns take the reader's fancy. The colouring book is the perfect present for all those who love vintage fashion and will be published in time for VOGUE's centenary celebrations in 2016, which begin with a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery.

Handbags - A Love Story
In this sumptuous full-color compendium, award-winning designer Monica Botkier celebrates seventy of the most coveted bags of the past seventy-five years, from Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Hermes, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, and other international couture houses, as well as top bag designers such as Anya Hindmarch and Nancy Gonzalez.
Exquisitely crafted luxury handbags are an obsession. The look, the feel of soft leather, that new bag smell that induces a swoon—a gorgeous handbag does more than complete a look, it telegraphs taste and chic, and it inspires envy, whether it’s an Hermes Birkin, a quilted Chanel Boy bag with its signature gold chain, or a Céline Mini Luggage Tote. Award-winning handbag designer Monica Botkier pays homage to these gorgeous objects of desire and the top couture houses and artists that have designed and produced them from the end of World War II to today.
Handbags: A Love Story showcases the creations of designers such as Azzedine Alaia, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Céline, Chanel, Chloé, Christian Dior, Mark Cross, Fendi, Salvatore Ferragamo, Givenchy, Goyard, Gucci, Hermes, Anya Hindmarch, Judith Leiber, Olympia Le-Tan, Loewe, Mansur Gavriel, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Miu Miu, Moschino, Mulberry, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Roger Vivier, Louis Vuitton, and more. This magnificent, eye-catching anthology tells the story of seventy bags in 200 stunning photographs and vintage and contemporary advertisements and illustrations, as well as quotes, anecdotes, and interviews with designers, stylists, and editors.
Each entry offers a concise yet in-depth look at a specific bag and its history—from a celebrity muse, such as Jane Birkin, to collaborations such as the graffiti-splattered bags Marc Jacobs and Stephen Sprouse created for Louis Vuitton. An informative, entertaining exploration of how "It Bags" have influenced fashion, culture, and feminine identity, Handbags: A Love Story touches on a wide-range of subjects, such as how a bag is constructed and handbags on the silver screen.
With an elegant full-color silkscreened cloth case and a thick acetate four-color jacket; two long, wide satin markers, and two-color endpapers, this gorgeous tribute is an essential accessory for handbag fanatics, fashion lovers, and pop culture enthusiasts.

The use of force in invernational relations
This book is a translation of the original Slovak edition published in 2007.
The commentaries from today (a 2012 perspective) are included in obvious italics in the footnotes. The main idea if the book is that violence is integral to the nature of human beings as a biological species. Human beings primarily tend to exercise collective violence (war, genocide), which is often glorified by culture. This collective violence has been long an efficient function of the selective evolution of human civilization. The nations that have been successful are only those, which were both able to live in peace and able to fight in the most brutal manner, if and when necessary. Military capacities and the ability to deploy them are the principal criterion of survival and the benchmark that states use to compare their respective power. As a result of the above, the use of force is and will be a permanent fixture of international relations, at least as a potential threat. The legal regulation of actual warlike activity is also an important issue for analysis. However, a fully-fledged regulation of the war violence is impossible because war is a serious matter and the stakes are very high. On the other hand there exist factors which moderate warlike enthusiasm and reduce the likelihood of an outbreak of war - the book describes also them.
The final message of the book of Dr. Daniel Šmihula is that the phenomenon of violence, as the direct use of force or threat of force, is and will remain present in international relations. Each prosperous community and each nation needs to be able to live in peace and work at constructing its own prosperity and economic, technological and spiritual advancement. Simultaneosly, it must be capable of effectively waging war, if necessary.

Merce Cunningham
How Cunningham transformed postwar culture through collaboration Renowned as both choreographer and dancer, Merce Cunningham (1919-2009) also revolutionized dance through his partnerships with the many artists who created costumes, lighting, films and videos, and decor and sound for his choreographic works. Cunningham, together with partner John Cage, invited those artists to help him rethink what dance could mean, both on the stage and in site-responsive contexts. His notion that movement, sound and visual art could share a "common time" remains one of the most radical aesthetic models of the 20th century and yielded extraordinary works by dozens of artists and composers, including Charles Atlas, John Cage, Morris Graves, Jasper Johns, Rei Kawakubo, Robert Morris, Gordon Mumma, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Pauline Oliveros, Nam June Paik, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella, David Tudor, Stan VanDerBeek, Andy Warhol and La Monte Young, among many others. These collaborations bring to the fore Cunningham's direct impact upon postwar artistic practice. This 456-page volume, published in conjunction with the Walker Art Center and MCA Chicago's exhibition, reconsiders the choreographer and his collaborators as an extraordinarily generative interdisciplinary network that preceded and predicted dramatic shifts in performance, including the development of site-specific dance, the use of technology as a choreographic tool and the radical separation of sound and movement in dance. It features ten new essays by curators and historians, as well as interviews with contemporary choreographers--Beth Gill, Maria Hassabi, Rashaun Mitchell and Silas Riener--who address Cunningham's continued influence. These are supplemented by rarely published archival photographs, reprints of texts by Cunningham, Cage and other key dancers, artists and scholars, several appendices and an extensive illustrated chronology placing Cunningham's activities and those of his collaborators in the context of the 20th century, particularly the expanded arts scene of the 1960s and 1970s. This book is an essential volume for anyone interested in contemporary art, music and dance.
