Sketch Plan Build
Often the most sophisticated buildings get their start as quick sketches in a moment of sudden inspiration. During the long process of careful refinement, these same sketches take shape and emerge as the buildings we see before us everyday. Focusing on the design process of today's most noteworthy architects, Sketch Plan Build explores the reasoning, resources, and influences behind the projects of today's most recognized architects. This book is a primary tool for under-standing the different traits and nuances each architect uses to express their own ideas. With international projects from world renowned architects such as Tadao Ando, Coop Himmel(b)lau, and Renzo Piano, and with detailed sketches, drawings, and photographs for each project, Sketch Plan Build is sure to provide a comprehensive compendium for all those interested in how an inspired idea makes the journey from projection to construction. This book brings together the drawings, sketches, and finished photographs of more than thirty prestigious international architects. With its 500 fully-illustrated pages, Sketch Plan Build is a diverse graphic tour that starts with the sketch, extends to drawings, and concludes with finished photographs -- providing the reader with a profound insight into the design process of today’s most respected architects.

A Linda-gyilkosság
Svédországban szokatlanul perzselő a nyár. Május óta tart a kánikula, egy csepp eső sem esik, szellő sem rezdül. Aki csak teheti, a nyaralójában hűsöl. A forró napok egyikén brutális gyilkosság kavarja fel Växjö kisvárosának hétköznapjait. Az áldozat egy fiatal lány, aki ráadásul a helyi rendőrfőiskola hallgatója. Senki nem látott semmit, senki nem tud semmit, a fél város nyaral. A melegben mintha a szabadságukra várakozó rendőrök még a szokásosnál is tehetetlenebbnek tűnnének. Ezért a stockholmi Bűnüldözési Intézet nagyfőnöke a fővárosból rendel a helyszínre egy csoportot. A nyomozás vezetését pedig Bäckström főfelügyelőre bízza. Bäckström öreg róka, jártas a rendőrség belügyeiben, a bürokráciában, ügyesen manipulálja a munkatársait, szereti a hasát, és persze az italt sem veti meg. Hogy a växjői és a stockholmi rendőrök kezdettől fogva párhuzamosan nyomoznak, hogy egyik zsákutcából a másikba jutnak, hogy a sajtó egyre türelmetlenebb, míg a nyomozás egy helyben topog, az mintha senkit nem érdekelne. A dolgok majd megoldódnak valahogy...
Az igazság végül mégis kiderül. De vajon Bäckström és társai csakugyan igazságot szolgáltattak?
Leif G. W. Persson regényében minden másképpen van, mint ahogy megszokhatták az olvasók. A skandináv krimik új sztárja által teremtett Evert Bäckström személyében a műfaj vérbeli antihősét ismerhetjük meg: öntelt, hiú, mégis elhanyagolt fickó, akit komolyabb érzelmek csakis az aranyhalához és a whiskysüveghez fűznek.
A Bäckström-trilógia első kötete, A Linda-gyilkosság 2014-ben elnyerte az év legjobb skandináv krimijének járó Petrona-díjat.
Leif G. W. Persson alaposan ismeri sikerregényei tárgyát, a svéd bűnözést és bűnüldözést, merthogy jó néhány évig a svéd rendőrség kriminológus szakértője volt. Írásai betekintést kínálnak a svéd bűnüldözés titkos zugaiba, ahol - mint a legtöbb hétköznapi munkahelyen - mindennapos a korrupció, a fegyelmezetlenség és sok egyéb emberi gyarlóság.
Bäckström főfelügyelő személyében igazi antihőst bocsátott útjára a szerző. A krimisorozat első kötete, A Linda-gyilkosság Svédországban és szerte a világon óriási sikert aratott: több mint egymillió példány kelt el belőle. A sok szuperhős után kimondottan üdítő egy ilyen ellenszenves, ám igen szórakoztató fickóról olvasni, mint Bäckström.

Original Man: The Tautz Compendium of Less Ordinary Gentlemen
Celebrating style, individuality, and joie de vivre, this book showcases 80 original men who will inspire readers to lead a less ordinary life. Original Man is a compendium of the stories of extraordinary men. From household names including Andy Warhol, Freddie Mercury, and Yves Saint-Laurent to lesser-known personalities, the 80 men presented here are incredibly diverse, yet all share entirely original lives. Featuring famous hell-raisers such as Iggy Pop, indomitable explorers including Ernest Shackleton, visionaries like Federico Fellini, and some less mainstream personalities such as Quentin Crisp or Takeshi Kitano, these biographies are as gripping as any fiction. This book is the brainchild of UK men's fashion maven Patrick Grant. As set about re-awakening the traditional Saile Row tailoring house of E. Tautz after a thirty-year slumber, he wanted to define the kind of man he aspired to clothe. Original Man is the compelling result of his musings--a collection of portraits of men who go beyond a veneer of stylish attire to wring every last drop out of life with their actions, thoughs, or words in a manner scarcely seen nowadays. These are not the biographies of those the world considers to be the best writers, thinkers, or adventurers (though undoubtedly some arguably are). Rather, this book celebrates those that have lived lives that are genuinely different. Whether in the life of a stylist, a libertine, an artist, or a hero, originality and historical precedence trumps prowess; the manner of their endeavors is what counts, not the end result. Reflecting Grant's personal background and experiences approximately half of the book's notable men come from the UK, a quarter from the US, and most of the remainder from Western Europe. Explaining his strong British bias, Grant states "we seem to breed original characters (or celebrate them more vocally) at a rate which belies our relatively small population." Because a claim to inclusion requires sustained effort, not just a brief burst of activity, few of the men featured in Original Man are young. Some, such as Malcolm X and Ayrton Senna, died young, but had a lasting impact. The book also contains a few men well known for their hedonistic lifestyles such as Ozzy Osbourne and Oliver Reed, but it does not celebrate those who simply fritter their lives away at play unless it is done with the greatest sense of style. Often their tales are rather sad ones, like that of snooker player Alex Higgins, and are included in the hope that they are as precautionary as they are laudatory. Aware that there do not seem to be many equivalents to these stories today, Grant wishes to share these portraits to inspire readers--men and women alike--to try to live more interesting and original lives themselves.

Lessons for Living
Profound essays that cut through the messiness of life to help you get the good from the bad—by famed therapist Phil Stutz, the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Tools and subject of the Netflix documentary Stutz.
“Is there another way? Can you live life with its conflicts, uncertainties, and disappointments and somehow feel good about yourself? You can. But it requires a completely new orientation.”
There are issues, and there are issues—love, loss, success, failure, hope, regret, life, death. How can we even begin to think clearly about dilemmas so universally confounding? Phil Stutz has spent his life pondering the big challenges that we all face, and this profound book puts the conclusions he’s reached at your fingertips.
Stutz has been writing these remarkably insightful short essays since the late 1990s, which are collected here for the first time, along with new insights specific to the unique challenges of today. Each one will change the way you think, but taken all together, this book becomes something far more than the sum of its parts: a compendium of human experience and knowledge that will reframe your worldview. There are hard truths here—the acknowledgment that life is full of pain and not a single one of us is special enough to escape it—but we need to understand and accept them in order to realize our full potential.
While The Tools explains the general concepts and five specific practices that Stutz employs in treatment, Lessons for Living addresses real-world circumstances, such as the needs of children, rising above envy, defeating your bad habits, the positive side of anger, and facing insecurities, offering a new way to think about life itself.

Dětská endokrinologie
Dnes se nám poprvé v historii naší pediatrie dostává do rukou soubor prací nazvaný Dětská endokrinologie jako součást edice nakladatelství Galén Trendy soudobé pediatrie.
Témata pokrývají téměř celou dětskou endokrinologii, dětské diabetologie se dot
ýkají okrajově. Pediatrickému evergreenu, růstu a vývoji, specifickým atributům dětství a dospívání, je věnováno dvanáct prací, nadledvinám čtyři práce, štítné žláze tři, některým poruchám vnitřního prostředí také tři, vztahům onkologie a dětské endo
krinologie rovněž tři práce. Nechybějí tu ani aspekty molekulárně genetické a imunologické.
Autory jsou naši mezinárodně uznávaní pediatričtí endokrinologové i mladší pracovníci. Všichni patří k pracovní skupině dětské endokrinologie při České pediat
rické společnosti. Navzájem spolupracují, pořádají společná sympozia.
Dnes ani úzce specializovaný dětský endokrinolog nestačí průběžně registrovat všechno nové, co světový výzkum a písemnictví v jeho oboru přinášejí. Čas od času si potřebuje udělat
inventuru svých znalostí, doplnit je a znovu utřídit. Publikace, kterou právě držíte v rukou, dává k tomu příležitost.
Kniha byla oceněna výborem České endokrinologické společnosti jako nejlepší knižní publikace roku 2004.
