Scandinavian design is a movement characterised by simplicity, minimalism and functionality that emerged in the early 20th century, and subsequently flourished in the 1950s throughout the five Nordic countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland.
Scandinavian designers are known especially for household goods including furniture, textiles, ceramics, lamps, and glass, but Scandinavian design has been extended to be an influential movement in architecture and industrial design.
High On...Scandinavian Architects presents twenty-eight architects from Scandinavia with their latest projects from the areas of residential, commercial and public buildings. Whether large or small, sharp-edged or soft, coarse or fine, the architecture depicted in this volume is characterised by the iconoclastic flair of Scandinavia.

Inspirace Baťa
Tomáš Baťa je známý především jako schopný podnikatel, který vybudoval světové obuvnické impérium. Málokdy se ale mluví o jeho propracovaném systému, který podporoval nejen efektivní podnikání, ale také duševní zdraví svých spolupracovníků. Kniha je rozdělena do čtyř částí, každá z nich se věnuje jedné z oblasti lidské bytosti tělo, mysl, duše a vztahy. Firma Baťa dlouhodobě podporovala rozvoj svých spolupracovníků, aby se zdokonalovali nejen profesně, ale také po osobnostní stránce. Kniha Inspirace Baťa je první svého druhu, protože nabízí čtenáři možnost takzvaně: jak na to. Přináší nový pohled na filozofii Baťa a ukazuje, jak začít s budováním sebe sama, změnou životních postojů i vnímání světa, podle baťovských principů. V knize naleznete také pověstná baťovská desatera například: Duševního zdraví, Zdravého spánku, Jak jednat s lidmi. Příjemným osvěžením zásad a desater, jsou krátké pravdivé příběhy, ve kterých poznáte pravou podstatu osobnosti Tomáše Bati. Pozornému čtenáři neunikne, že mnoho baťovských zásad se vyvinulo na základě osobních zážitků Bati. Najde zde příběhy, v nichž zaznívají jeho vize, kdy je shovívaný, ale také tvrdý a sebestředný, kdy zažívá pocit smutku i dětské radosti. Možnosti, jak měnit sám sebe podle Baťovské filozofie vychází z podstaty baťovské služby, která začíná slovy: na první místo si dejte sebe. S využitím každé rady můžete začít okamžitě, nejsou vázaný na žádné podmínky snad jen jedinou musíte chtít. Autorkou knihy je Gabriela Končitíková, která se čtrnáct let věnuje výzkumu baťovské historie. Kniha Inspirace Baťa je její desátou knihou, která čtenářům na konkrétních příkladech přiblíží, jak propojit pracovní a osobní sféru podle baťovských principů. Často se o Baťovi říká, že byl velmi přísný na své spolupracovníky, protože chtěl mít pod kontrolou nejen jejich pracovní, ale i osobní život. Na první pohled to může znít zvláštně, jenže on nic nedělal samoúčelně. Věřil, že když lidé na vedoucích pozicích budou mít všeobecný přehled, tak budou inspirovat své okolí. Dnes se často řeší, jak najít balanc mezi pracovním a osobním životem. Baťa na to měl jasný názor: člověk potřebuje přesně vymezený čas na práci i na odpočinek. Když si pořádně neodpočine, tak nebude v práci podávat stoprocentní výkony říká Končitíková, která se kromě vydávání knih věnuje také přednáškové činnosti pro firmy po celém Česku a popisuje, jak převést baťovská pravidla práce i životního stylu do současné praxe.
The Dream Architects
At Massive Entertainment, a Ubisoft studio, a key division of one of the largest, most influential companies in gaming, Managing Director Polfeldt has had a hand in some of the biggest video game franchises of today, from Assassin's Creed to Far Cry to Tom Clancy's The Division, the fastest-selling new series this generation which revitalized the Clancy brand in gaming. In THE DREAM ARCHITECTS, Polfeldt charts his course through a charmed, idiosyncratic career which began at the dawn of the Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox era--from successfully pitching an Avatar game to James Cameron that will digitally create all of Pandora to enduring a week-long survivalist camp in the Scandinavian forest to better understand the post-apocalyptic future of The Division. Along the way, Polfeldt ruminates on how the video game industry has grown and changed, how and when games became art, and the medium's expanding artistic and storytelling potential.
He shares what it's like to manage a creative process that has ballooned from a low-six-figure expense with a team of a half dozen people to a transatlantic production of five hundred employees on a single project with a production budget of over a hundred million dollars. A rare firsthand account of the golden age of game development told in vivid detail, THE DREAM ARCHITECTS is a seminal work about the biggest entertainment medium of today.

Mistletoe and Kisses
When love is staring you straight in the face…
Lord Hugh Radley is handsome, clever, and not short of a penny. He is also at times more than a little vague, often lost in his own world.
For the past two years professor’s daughter Mary Gray has worked alongside him while he completed his studies at Cambridge University. She has brought him coffee and toast for supper most nights.
Somewhere along the way, she also secretly gave him her heart.
Christmas 1790 looms large with life changes for both of them. Hugh has completed his degree and has a bright future ahead of him.
For Mary, she faces a bleaker Christmas. It will be her first without her beloved father, and she will be alone.
A mislaid book sees Hugh returning to the university in time to discover the secret that Mary has been keeping from him. She has been evicted from her long-time home.
Hugh is outraged at the treatment Mary has received, but while he is busy being angry, his sister Adelaide steps in and invites Mary to spend Christmas with the Radley family at Strathmore Castle in Scotland.
In the wilds of chilly Scotland, Hugh finally faces up to the truth that he has long given over his heart to Mary. He makes the fateful decision to ask Mary for her hand in marriage.
Being Hugh however he is clueless about the minds of women and he makes a mess of things. With the clock ticking down to New Year’s Eve, he knows that if he doesn’t secure Mary’s love by then, he will lose her forever.
Cupid’s little helpers are meanwhile busy at work.
With the aid of the time-old tradition of kissing under the mistletoe, Hugh and Mary make tentative steps toward finding their happily ever after.
One kiss at a time.
Mistletoe and Kisses was previously published as part of the Winter Wishes Anthology.

If Then : How One Data Company Invented the Future
'The story of the original data science hucksters of the 1960s is hilarious, scathing and sobering - what you might get if you crossed Mad Men with Theranos' David Runciman
The Simulmatics Corporation, founded in 1959, mined data, targeted voters, accelerated news, manipulated consumers, destabilized politics, and disordered knowledge--decades before Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Cambridge Analytica. Silicon Valley likes to imagine it has no past but the scientists of Simulmatics are the long-dead grandfathers of Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.
Borrowing from psychological warfare, they used computers to predict and direct human behavior, deploying their "People Machine" from New York, Cambridge, and Saigon for clients that included John Kennedy's presidential campaign, the New York Times, Young & Rubicam, and, during the Vietnam War, the Department of Defence.
In If Then, distinguished Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer, Jill Lepore, unearths from the archives the almost unbelievable story of this long-vanished corporation, and of the women hidden behind it. In the 1950s and 1960s, Lepore argues, Simulmatics invented the future by building the machine in which the world now finds itself trapped and tormented, algorithm by algorithm.
'A person can't help but feel inspired by the riveting intelligence and joyful curiosity of Jill Lepore. Knowing that there is a mind like hers in the world is a hope-inducing thing' George Saunders, Man Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo
'An authoritative account of the origins of data science, a compelling political narrative of America in the Sixties, a poignant collective biography of a generation of flawed men' David Kynaston

Architects' Houses
Thirty of the world's leading architects, including Norman Foster, Thom Mayne, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, talk about the houses they designed for themselves over the past decade. What inspired them, what were the constraints, how did their concepts take shape? Michael Webb explores the creative process and traces the influence of architects' houses over the past two hundred years, from Jefferson's Monticello to the creations of Charles and Ray Eames, Toyo Ito and Frank Gehry.
Texts, images, sketches and plans are interwoven to illustrate houses that differ widely, in size, material, character and location. There are urban infills, rustic retreats, experiments, and fusions of new and old. They all make a statement, modest or ambitious, and each reflects the personality and tastes of its owner. These architects have accepted the challenge of doing something out of the ordinary, turning constraints to advantage. They give different answers to a crucial question: how can a house enrich lives and its surroundings? Spacious or frugal, refined or rough-edged, daring or reductive, these adventurous dwellings will inspire other architects and everyone who would like to design or commission a house that is one-of-a-kind.

German Architects
This book presents thirty-two leading German architectural practices and their signature projects. Whether in the areas of housing, commercial, administrative, and public architecture or in the renovation and revitalization of existing buildings, all have one thing in common: the architects are concerned with sustainable design and reject short-lived trends. This policy manifests itself in minimalistic architecture as well as in the combination of tradition and modernity.
The focus is always on a holistic solution that gives expression to an individual attitude to life. To these ends, the respective needs, passions, dreams, and desires of the clients are brought into unity with the specific location and surrounding environment, as well as the climatic and socio-cultural conditions.

Štekajúce psy za plotom
Autentické príbehy Slovákov žijúcich a pracujúcich v zahraničí, ktorých opatrenia vlády počas koronakrízy na celé týždne až mesiace odrezali od rodín. Strach spoločnosť rozdelil na tých pred plotom a za plotom. Zažili krivdy, ktoré sa nedajú odčiniť. Stratili čas s blízkymi, ktorý sa nedá vrátiť. Namiesto súcitu a pomoci spoznali ľahostajnosť a nenávisť vlastných krajanov.
