Jan Šmíd - Photography
Jan Šmíd je fotograf, krajinář. Je jedním ze tří Čechů, kteří jsou nositeli nejcennějšího a nejprestižnějšího fotografického titulu Master QEP (Master Qualified European Photographer udělovaný Federation of European Photographers v Bruselu). Zatím za své fotografie získal více než 200 medailí a ocenění, které pro sebe, ale zejména pro českou fotografii vybojoval na mezinárodních fotografických soutěžích. Když se řekne "fotografie", každý si představí "cvak" a hotovo. Jan Šmíd pracuje metodou skládané fotografie, kdy jeden motiv vzniká z desítek až stovek jednotlivých snímků. Díky tomu jsou jeho fotografie technicky dokonalé. Ve své tvorbě se specializuje na krajinářská panorama a snímky noční oblohy (http://www.smidphotography.com/). Nyní nazrál čas, aby vydal svou knižní prvotinu. Knihu vydává nakladatelství Green Mango ve stejně luxusní podobě, jako jsou jeho fotografie.

Můj syn terorista
Ondřej Kundra se se svým kolegou Tomášem Lindnerem tentokrát ponořuje do velmi křehkého tématu – přináší příběhy mladých Evropanů, kteří konvertovali, radikalizovali se a odešli bojovat za Islámský stát. V řadě případů v Sýrii zemřeli, doma po nich zůstali rozbité rodiny, opuštěné matky a otcové, mnoho z nich se dodnes s žalem nedokáže vyrovnat. Autoři při práci na knize navštívili většinu postižených evropských zemí a mluvili jak s pozůstalými, tak s džihádisty, kterým se podařilo přežít a vrátili se domů. Díky rozhovorům s nimi čtenář získá odpověď na otázku, proč jsou ochotni všeho se vzdát, včetně svého života a připravit o něj další nevinné lidi. Kniha se snaží rozbít mýtus, že teroristy se stávají jen muslimové, autoři ukazují, že tato drastická zkušenost může potkat v podstatě jakoukoliv rodinu a nikdo dopředu není vůči riziku džihádismu imunní. Co vede mladé Evropany k tomu, že se dávají do služeb IS a že se radikalizují? Jak se cítí francouzská matka, jejíž syn coby příslušník IS zemřel v Sýrii a ona se o jeho smrti dozvěděla esemeskou? Kniha podrobně mapuje i příběh zatím jediného českého radikála, s nímž probíhá soud. Ondřej Kundra je český novinář, který se ve svých textech věnuje především zneužívání moci, korupci, nefunkčnosti justice, dezinformační kampani a působení cizích mocností. Od roku 2002 pracuje v týdeníku Respekt, kde vede jeho domácí redakci. Za rok 2010 získal za své investigativní texty Novinářskou křepelku, dvakrát obdržel Novinářskou cenu v kategorii Investigativní žurnalistika. Je autorem knihy o známé mecenášce umění Meda Mládková. Můj úžasný život (Academia, 2014). Dále napsal knihu o aktivitách ruských tajných služeb Putinovi agenti. Jak ruští špioni kradou naše tajemství (BizBooks, 2016). Tomáš Lindner je český novinář, který se věnuje především Německu, současné Africe, migraci a vztahu bohatých a chudých zemí. Od roku 2008 je členem redakce týdeníku Respekt, kde v posledních letech vede zahraniční rubriku. Za své texty obdržel dvakrát Novinářskou cenu, v roce 2009 European Young Journalist Award a v roce 2016 cenu Johnnyho Kleina za česko-německé porozumění. Po delším pobytu na jihu Afriky vydal knihu reportáží Čekání na období dešťů (Doplněk, 2008).
Lacná kniha P. H. dHancarville. Complete Collection of Antiquities (-70%)
Antiquarian, archaeologist, vulcanologist, and envoy to the British Embassy in Naples, Sir William Hamilton (1731-1803) was a leading European figure of his time. Though the romance between his wife Lady Emma Hamilton and Horatio Nelson tends to eclipse Sir William's own activities, his work as a scientist and a classicist made major contributions to the study of Pompei, Herculaneum, and Mt Vesuvius. As an expert in ancient art, Hamilton also built up an invaluable collection of ancient Greek vases, subsequently sold to the British Museum in London in 1772. Before the pieces were shipped off to England, Hamilton commissioned Pierre-Francois Hugues d'Hancarville, an adventurous connoisseur and art dealer, to document the vases in words and images. The resulting catalog, published in four volumes and known as Les Antiquites d'HancarvilIe, represents a neoclassical masterpiece. Never before had ancient vases been represented with such meticulous detail and sublime beauty. With this reprint, TASCHEN revives d'Hancarville's masterful catalog for a contemporary audience, reproducing in exacting detail the same pristine images that sparked Europe's love affair with the classical style.

Lacná kniha History of England (-70%)
One of the greatest figures of his age, Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-59) was widely admired throughout his life for his prose, poetry, political acumen and oratorical skills. Among the most successful and enthralling histories ever written, his History of England" won instantaneous success following the publication of its first volumes in 1849, and was rapidly translated into most European languages. Beginning with the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and concluding at the end of the reign of William III in 1702, it illuminates a time of deep struggle throughout Britain and Ireland in vivid and compelling prose. But while Macaulay offers a gripping narrative, and draws on a wide range of sources including historical accounts and creative literature, his enduring success also owes a great deal to his astonishing ability to grasp, and explain, the political reality that has always underpinned social change."

Darkest Hour
From the prize-winning screenwriter of The Theory of Everything, this is a cinematic, behind-the-scenes account of a crucial moment which takes us inside the mind of one of the world's greatest leaders - and provides a revisionist, more rounded portrait of his leadership. May, 1940. Britain is at war, European democracies are falling rapidly and the public are unaware of this dangerous new world. Just days after his unlikely succession to Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, faces this horror - and a sceptical King and a party plotting against him. He wonders how he can capture the public mood and does so, magnificently, before leading the country to victory. It is this fascinating period that Anthony McCarten captures in this deeply researched, gripping day-by-day (and often hour-by-hour) narrative. In doing so he revises the familiar view of Churchill - he made himself into the iconic figure we remember and changed the course of history, but through those turbulent and dangerous weeks he was plagued by doubt, and even explored a peace treaty with Nazi Germany. It's a scarier, and more human story, than has ever been told.

Lost City - Stratené mesto
Bratislava Pozsony Pressburg was a multi-ethnic, multicultural, multilingual and multi-religious city. Hungarian, German, Yiddish, Slovak and Czech cultural communities lived here side by side at times, and so did the Christian religion and Judaism. The 20th century was marked by anexpulsion of various group softhecity'sinhabitants, but also by anerasure of the popular memory of those who could remain, and a by search for a method to conceal the past from the coming generations, those born after the Second World War, once and forall. The city's new population, consisting of people who moved here from other Slovak towns or the countryside in search of work or a career, no longer carried memories of the European tradition of the city. It is forthis reason that they were greeted warmly by thenewly empowered. This virtual guide to the no longer existent extramural city (Podhradie) willaidus in recalling a now 'Lost City', demolishedentirely in the 1960s. Bratislava is known in the Jewish world as the city of the ChatamSofer; his grave site is visited by Jews from all around the world. In 2012, Bratislava commemoratedthe 250th anniversary of the birth of this exceptional rabbi.
Lacná kniha Mr S: The Last Word on Frank Sinatra (-70%)
George Jacobs is generally considered 'the last of the Rat Pack', a member of the exclusive club that has fascinated us for decades. He was Sinatra's valet and confidant from 1953, when Ava Gardner had just left him, until the end of his marriage to Mia Farrow in 1968. Racy and revealing, this is a record of one of the longest and most outrageous mid-life crises ever as George helped Sinatra juggle his many mistresses - women like Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Grace Kelly and Peggy Lee. Hollywood stars and Mafia bosses, the Kennedys and European royalty also all had a major part to play in Frank's glory years. But above all there was the Rat Pack who accepted George as one of their own. Dean Martin tried his comedy routines out on him and Peter Lawford did his drugs in front of him. "MR S" gives an insider's view of the highs and lows of life with the Rat Pack - the spectacle, the sex, the unrecounted brawls, violence, tensions and hatreds among the revellers at the wildest moveable feast of the century. 'Explosive' - "Mail on Sunday". 'Scorching' - "Sunday Mirror".

Off Season
OFF SEASON je kniha venovaná jednému monumentu modernej architektúry liečebnéhmu domu Machnáč v Trenčianskych Tepliciach. Liecebný dom Machnác patrí k najhodnotnejším architektonickým dielam postaveným v Ceskoslovensku v medzivojnovom období a je významným príkladom európskeho funkcionalizmu. Jeho autorom je pražský architekt Jaromír Krejcar (1895 1950). Architektonické riešenie tejto jedinečnej stavby je oslavou technologického a spoločenského pokroku, zhmotnila sa v ňom tiež autorova predstava humanizmu. Liečebný dom Machnáč po prvý krát otvorili 1. júna 1932, v roku 1969 bol zaradený do prvého súpisu pamiatok v Československu, v roku 1996 bol vyhlásený za národnú kultúrnu pamiatku, zatvorili ho v roku 2002, dodnes je opustený a chátra.
Príbeh tejto významnej funkcionalistickej pamiatky bol uplynulých šesť rokov cielom aktivít umeleckej skupiny Opustená (re)kreácia, ktorá vytvorila množstvo site specific inštalácii a akcií ako poctu tejto stavbe. Tie sú ťažiskom obsahu a obrazovým sprievodom k odbornému textu knihy. Publikácia OFF SEASON je textovou a obrazovou reflexiou fenoménu ikony československej architektúry funkcionalizmu a európskej avantgardy ako aj sondou do života jej autora, Jaromíra Krejcara.
....
OFF SEASON is a book dedicated to a monument of modern architecture - the Machnáč sanatorium in Trenčianske Teplice. The Machnáč sanatorium ranks among the most precious works of architecture built in Czechoslovakia in the interwar period and is a significant representative of European functionalism. It was designed by the Prague architect Jaromír Krejcar (1895-1950). The architectural solution of this unique building is a celebration of technological and social progress, embodying its author´s humanistic vision. The Machnáč sanatorium was first opened on June 1st 1932, included in the first register of national heritage of Czechoslovakia in 1969, closed in 2002, and has been abandoned and decaying since.
The story of this significant functionalist heritage has been the target for the artist group Abandoned (re)creation and their activities for six years, they have created a variety of site specific installations to honour this building. These activities build up the fundamentals of the contents and illustrations accompanying the book´s expert texts. The OFF SEASON publication is a textual and visual reflexion of the phenomenon of the icon of Czechoslovak functionalist architecture and European avant-garde, as well as an insight into the personal life of its author, Jaromír Krejcar.

Konfrontace hodnot v pozdní modernitě
Kniha se zabývá působením modernizačních a globalizačních trendů na hodnotové orientace, normy a klíčové aspekty životního způsobu české a hlučínské populace v evropském kontextu. Autoři vycházejí z teoretické koncepce S. H. Schwartze a analyzují rozsáhlé empirické zdroje vlastního šetření (2014) a mezinárodních šetření (European Social Survey 2012, European Values Study 2008). Práce je zaměřena především na projevy modernizace dotýkající se hodnotové orientace obyvatel a způsobu jejich myšlení ve vztahu k sekularizaci současné společnosti, uspořádání mezilidských vztahů v rodině, podobě sociálního kapitálu a proměnám způsobu života. Poznatky z lokálního výzkumu na Hlučínsku jsou porovnávány s modernizací v ČR i dalších evropských zemích a umožňují autorům klást otázky po povaze univerzalizace současného způsobu života. Autoři a autorky se snaží hlouběji pochopit také roli regionálních společenství v průběhu modernizačních a globalizačních procesů.
Vicious Circle
Fires are spreading around the globe; the world is at its most precarious moment since 1939. NATO and the European Union are on the brink of war; tensions are rising near the shores of Taiwan. Europe and the United States are in disarray, while Russia and China are each waiting for the other to make the first direct move against the Western alliance system.The sequel to Bonfire, The Fury of the Tsar: Vicious Circle, shows why the American grand strategy of the last three decades is a failure, and why both neoconservative and liberal foreign policy are complete dead ends. It gives an unparalleled look into the mind of the Tsar, Vladimir Putin, as well as his fears, plans, and thirst for vengeance for what he sees as the humiliation of Russia. This is a story of Russian false flag operations across Europe and a story of nationalist conflicts. In the pages of Vicious Circle, history is alive.Author’s personal note: The Fury of the Tsar: Vicious Circle was published in softcover in 2021, based on the Hungarian original of 2018. It describes the covert actions Russia could take to divide the European Union and NATO, but does not describe the war against Ukraine. A coming Russian invasion of Ukraine, however, is mentioned several times in its pages; these were not edited out of the book. While Vicious Circle goes deep into Vladimir Putin’s mind and explains some of his actions as rational, it in no way condones the blatant and open Russian aggression against Ukraine. Whatever grievances President Putin may have had, whether real or imagined, nevertheless under his leadership Russia launched an inexcusable war of conquest against a neighbor. This book is a warning that without understanding geopolitics and history, and without healing the ethnic fault lines of Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Balkans, Europe will remain an easy target for aggression.“Terrorism spreads across Romania and Hungary: Two NATO allies! Who steps in? Vladimir Putin, master of geostrategic opportunity.” Victor Gaetan (American Spectator)“David Autere brings us again on a trip through Eastern European ethnonationalism, ringing a disquieting alarm bell on the future of Europe. But Book Two also gives the reader a peek into Russo-Chinese power plays.”Dario Quintavalle (Limes)
