Global Art
Jessica Lack introduces fifty pioneering modern and contemporary art movements born out of political engagement, decolonization, marginalization or conflict. These movements have aimed to revitalize society by challenging the status quo. While not as well known as Pop Art, Dada and Futurism, these associations of artists - such as the Saqqakhaneh artists of Iran, the Stridentists of Mexico, Jikken Kobo of Japan or America's AfriCobra - have empowered and given voice to their members.
Global Art brings unfamiliar material to life by exploring the unique historical context for each art movement, key cultural events and interconnections, and the key protagonists in the movement's evolution.
Beyond the West - New Global Architecture
Beyond The West inspires a fresh understanding of global contemporary architecture beyond the Western Countries. Architects throughout the world work against a backdrop of rapidly growing cities, changing societies and climate, and emerging economies. But while Western architecture has largely dominated the discourse, architecture firms from non-Western countries have been establishing local and global -recognition for themselves, often finding strikingly different solutions to local requirements, including sustainability, transportation and migration, construction materials, and traditions. Beyond The West journeys across Asia, Africa, and the Americas to under-stand how local architects respond to a changing world, and focuses its wide lens on inspiring and truly global architecture.

Abstract Art: A Global History
Taking a radically new approach to the history of abstract painting, Pepe Karmel applies a scholarly yet fresh vision to reconsider the history of abstraction from a global perspective and to demonstrate that abstraction is embedded in the real world. Moving beyond the orthodox canonical terrain of abstract art, he surveys artists from across the globe, examining their work from the point of view of content rather than form. Previous writers have approached the history of abstraction as a series of movements solving a series of formal problems. In contrast, Karmel focuses on the subject matter of abstract art, showing how artists have used abstract imagery to express social, cultural and spiritual experience.
An introductory discussion of the work of the early modern pioneers of abstraction opens up into a completely new approach to abstract art based around five inclusive themes - the body, the landscape, the cosmos, architecture, and the repertory of man-made signs and patterns - each of which has its own chapter. Starting from a figurative example, Karmel works outwards to develop a series of narratives that go far beyond the established figures and movements traditionally associated with abstract art. Each narrative is complemented by a number of 'featured' abstract works, which provide an in-depth illustration of the breadth of Karmel's distinctive vision.
A wide-ranging examination of topics - from embryos to the surface of skin, from vortexes to waves, planets to star charts, towers to windows - is interwoven with detailed analysis of works by established figures like Joan Miro and Jackson Pollock alongside pieces by lesser-known artists such as Wu Guanzhong, Hilma af Klint and Odili Donald Odita.

Military Strategy: A Global History
A global account of military strategy, which examines the practices, rather than the theories, of the most significant military figures of the past 400 years
Strategy has existed as long as there has been organised conflict. In this new account, Jeremy Black explores the ever-changing relationship between purpose, force, implementation and effectiveness in military strategy and its dramatic impact on the development of the global power system.
Taking a 'total' view of strategy, Black looks at leading powers - notably the United States, China, Britain and Russia - in the wider context of their competition and their domestic and international strengths. Ranging from France's Ancien Regime and Britain's empire building to present day conflicts in the Middle East, Black devotes particular attention to the strategic practice and decisions of the Kangxi Emperor, Clausewitz, Napoleon and Hitler.

Mescaline: A Global History of the First Psychedelic
A definitive history of mescaline that explores its mind-altering effects across cultures, from ancient America to Western modernity
Mescaline became a popular sensation in the mid-twentieth century through Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception, after which the word "psychedelic" was coined to describe it. Its story, however, extends deep into prehistory: the earliest Andean cultures depicted mescaline-containing cacti in their temples.
Mescaline was isolated in 1897 from the peyote cactus, first encountered by Europeans during the Spanish conquest of Mexico. During the twentieth century it was used by psychologists investigating the secrets of consciousness, spiritual seekers from Aleister Crowley to the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, artists exploring the creative process, and psychiatrists looking to cure schizophrenia. Meanwhile peyote played a vital role in preserving and shaping Native American identity. Drawing on botany, pharmacology, ethnography, and the mind sciences and examining the mescaline experiences of figures from William James to Walter Benjamin to Hunter S. Thompson, this is an enthralling narrative of mescaline's many lives.

Čítačka mysle
Príbeh plný napätia, neočakávaných zvratov a nečakaného záveru.
Jedinečný, unikátny príbeh s úplne novou tematikou. Prvýkrát...
Tematika je založená na už existujúcom princípe liečby inovatívnym vynálezom, ktorý sa už v niektorých krajinách používa. Na jeho princípe je vynájdená Čítačka mysle, ktorá má prvoplánovo slúžiť výlučne na liečbu ľudí a ozdravovanie.
Ako to už zvyčajne býva, patent bol ukradnutý a začína byť zneužívaný.
Čo všetko sa začne diať, akým silným nástrojom moci sa Mindreader stane a ako vie celkovo ničiť ľudstvo, sa začne odhaľovať práve v deji tejto knihy.
Keďže príbeh vychádza zo skutočných udalostí a odráža reálny príbeh života vedca, ktorý pôvodný liečebný stroj vynašiel a následne odhaľuje tajomstvá ukradnutím patentu a know-how k Čítačke, vyzerá celá kniha veľmi realisticky.
Navyše všetky napísané zvraty sa odohrávajú prostredníctvom ľudských vzťahov, poukazujú na zvraty v láske a medziľudských vzťahoch, krásne odráža, ako Čítačka vie meniť správanie ľudí a ako ich vie primäť k túžbe po moci a manipulácií.
Z časti sa odkrýva aj politické a náboženské pozadie a sila istej vyvolenej skupiny, ktorá sa hrá s dianím na Zemi – na tejto planéte – ako s bábkami.

Pretancuj životom
Nech ste kdekoľvek, je to stále začiatok. Človek zostane navždy dieťaťom, človek zostane navždy nepoškvrnený. A to je celé umenie života – zostať nepoškvrnený, svieži a mladý, neskazený životom, minulosťou ani prachom, ktorý sa obvykle hromadí na ceste počas životnej púte.
Pamätajte, že každý okamih otvára nové dvere. Život je nelogický. Má svoj začiatok, ale nemá koniec. Nič skutočne živé sa nikdy nekončí. Pokračuje to ďalej a ďalej a ďalej.

Flash Crash : A Trading Savant, a Global Manhunt and the Most Mysterious Market Crash in History
'Not just a readable, pacey account of an extraordinary individual and his quixotic quest ... but also a troubling expose of the fragility of our entire financial system ... I loved it'
Oliver Bullough, author of Moneyland
For fans of Bad Blood and The Big Short, the story of how one reclusive trading prodigy manipulated Wall Street and amassed millions from his childhood bedroom - then short-circuited the global market.
A real-life financial thriller, Flash Crash gives panoramic insight into our economic landscape - its weaknesses, its crooks and its exploitable loopholes - and uncovers the remarkable, behind-the-scenes narrative of a mystifying market crash, a globe-spanning investigation into international fraud, and the man - Navinder Singh Sarao - at the centre of it all.
Depending on whom you ask, Sarao was a scourge, a symbol of a financial system run horribly amok, or a folk hero: an outsider who took on the tyranny of Wall Street and the high-frequency traders.
