The Roman Empire: A Very Short Introduction
The Roman Empire was a remarkable achievement. It had a population of sixty million people spread across lands encircling the Mediterranean and stretching from drizzle-soaked northern England to the sun-baked banks of the Euphrates in Syria, and from the Rhine to the North African coast. It was, above all else, an empire of force - employing a mixture of violence, suppression, order, and tactical use of power to develop an astonishingly uniform culture. This Very Short Introduction covers the history of the Empire from Augustus (the first Emperor) to Marcus Aurelius, describing how the empire was formed, how it was run, its religions and its social structure. It examines how local cultures were romanised" and how people in far away lands came to believe in the emperor as a god. The book also examines how the Roman Empire has been considered and depicted in more recent times, from the writings of Edward Gibbon, to the differing attitudes of the Victorians and recent Hollywood blockbuster films."
Architecture In The Emirates
The small emirates and states located on the Gulf, at the eastern edge of the Saudi Arabian peninsula, are building new cities in the desert at an astonishing rate, from Bahrain to Doha, and south to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Comprised of Abu D
habi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain, the UAE is an oil-and-gas-rich region that has experienced an unparalleled architectural boom in recent years. With a dizzying array of ultra-modern towers popping up throughou
t the area, it's no surprise that the Gulf region has attracted many of the world's most prominent architects, including Tadao Ando, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, and Jean Nouvel, who are all designing groundbreaking projects for the ambitious Cultural Di
strict project on Saadiyat Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi. With these and many more remarkable, large-scale projects recently built or in progress, the Gulf emirates are perhaps today's top architectural hotspot.

Geddes-Brown/Plants and Places
The artist Angie Lewin has a unique vision of the natural world. Her hugely popular prints depict in intricate detail the native flora of a variety of environments, from salt marsh and Highland loch to flower-strewn meadow and wild garden. Lewin finds beauty in each landscape, whatever the season, and is particularly inspired by plant forms: slender reeds, stately goatsbeard, spiky teasels and sculptural seed heads. Plants and Places presents over 70 of Lewin’s beautifully crafted linocuts and wood engravings.The works are grouped according to habitat – such as coast, woodland and hedgerow, and garden – together with drawings, paintings and collages from Lewin’s sketchbooks of grasses, seed pods, seaweed, shells and other objects that she has collected on her walks. In an engaging introduction, Leslie Geddes-Brown meets Lewin in her studio, discusses her artistic inspiration and her fascination with plants, and describes how she creates her prints.

Élő édességek könyve - DEDIKÁLT
Lénárt Gitta első, nagy sikerű kötete, az "Élő ételek könyve" néhány héttel a megjelenést követően a toplisták élére került, a szerzőt kiállításokra, bemutatókra és televíziós szereplésekre hívták. A megjelenést követő harmadik hónapban már készült is az utánnyomás. Óriási teljesítmény ez egy olyan országban, ahol a hagyományos konyha nehéz, húsos ételeket, cukros édességeket kínál. Úgy tűnik, hogy a rossz táplálkozási szokások káros hatásait tapasztalva egyre többen keresnek olyan megoldásokat, amelyek segítségével megőrizhetik egészségüket, karcsúságukat, ugyanakkor ízlelőbimbóiknak is felejthetetlen élményt kínálnak. A téma iránti érdeklődést tapasztalva kiadónk a szerző újabb kötetének kiadásával jelentkezik. Hamarosan a boltokba kerül az "Élő édességek könyve". A szerző ezúttal a legsikeresebb édességreceptjeit osztja meg lelkes olvasóival. Az élő ételekre jellemzően ezek a finomságok hőkezelés, sütés és főzés nélkül készülnek, így a bennük található értékes tápanyagok, vitaminok és enzimek továbbra is kifejthetik áldásos hatásukat. Az alapanyagaik között elsősorban rostban gazdag gyümölcsök és olajos magvak szerepelnek, nem tartalmaznak azonban lisztet, tojást, tejtermékeket, fehér cukrot. Fontos szempont, hogy a legtöbb édesség néhány perc alatt elkészül. Nincs szükség hosszú sütési időre, a tisztítás, a szeletelés vagy a turmixolás után rövidesen tálalhatjuk az ízletes, egészséges falatokat. Gitta sikere többek között lenyűgöző fantáziájának és kreativitásának köszönhető, amelyet a könyv igényes kiállítása is híven tükröz.

Black Wind
In the waning days of World War II, the Japanese tried a last desperate measure – a different kind of kamikaze mission, this one carried out by two submarines bound for the west coast of the United States, their cargo a revolutionary new strain of biological virus. Neither sub made it to the designated target. But that does not mean they were lost. Someone knows about the subs and what they carried, knows too where they might be, and has an extraordinary plan in for the prize inside – a plan that could reshape the world as we know it. All that stands in the way are three people: a marine biologist named Summer, a marine engineer named Dirk, and their father, Dirk Pitt, the new head of NUMA. Pitt has faced devastating enemies before, has even teamed up with his children to track them down. But never has he looked upon the face of pure evil…until now. Filled with dazzling suspense and breathtaking action, Black Wind is Cussler at the height of his storytelling powers.

Duma Key
DUMA KEY is the engaging, fascinating story of a man who discovers an incredible talent for painting after a freak accident in which he loses an arm. He moves to a 'new life' in Duma Key, off Florida's West Coast; a deserted strip, part beach, part weed-tangled, owned by a patroness of the arts whose twin sisters went missing in the 1920s. Duma Key is where out-of-season hurricanes tears lives apart and a powerful undertow lures lost and tormented souls. Here Freemantle is inspired to paint the amazing sunsets. But soon the paintings become predictive, even dangerous. Freemantle knows the only way forward is to discover what happened to the twin sisters -- and what is the secret of the strange old lady who holds the key? The story is about friendship, about the bond between a father and his daughter. And about memory, truth and art. It is also is a metaphor for the life and inspiration of a writer, and an exploration of the nature, power and influence of fiction.

Ars Erotica
The artistic and erotic impulses have gone hand in hand since humans first took up burnt sticks and clay to express their dreams and desires. Centuries of civilisation have tried to contain this impulse in most cultures, with limited success. It seems that there has always been, and will always be an erotically driven element to human creativity. Ars Erotica takes a colourful look at what erotic art has come to mean today. This high-quality publication showcases the finest examples from the worlds of illustration, pin-up, surreal, comic and modern art from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It will shed light on how erotic art has developed, its influences, and the cutting edge artists working in the field today, from Picasso's explicit sexual sketches to the 1960s pop art stylings of Allen Jones and West Coast king of cool Coop's notorious devil girls. Ars Erotica brings together some of the very best examples from modern painting, sculpture, graphic design and new media. Everything you need to know about the masters of modern erotic art is here.

Kik tartoznak egy csoportba?
A hétköznapokban, de a tanulási folyamatokban is nagy segítség, ha egyes dolgok, tárgyak között párhuzamot tudunk felfedezni, azonos csoportba tudjuk sorolni őket. Az asszociáció, vagyis a társítás, a közös tulajdonságok felderítése gyakorlottságot kíván.
E füzet azért készült, hogy a 4-8 éves gyerekek gyakorolhassák az összetartozók, a hasonló tulajdonságú tárgyak, élőlények felismerését, és a gyűjtőfogalmak, csoportok tulajdonságai egyértelműen kirajzolódjanak a számukra.
A gyakran használt gyűjtőfogalmak (gyümölcsök, zöldségek, madarak stb.) mellett a gyerekeknek lehetőségük nyílik más jellegű csoportosításra is, például: fémből készültek, papírból készültek.
A játékos formában, színezéssel és rajzolással megoldható feladatok sokféle téma, fogalom pontosítását lehetővé teszik a szülők vagy segítők számára. Lényeges, hogy a feladatok megoldása után szóban összegezzék a gondolatokat, és így az elmélyítést segítsék. Például: a madarak olyan állatok, amelyek tollasak, csőrük van és tojást tojnak. Nem biztos, hogy minden madár jól repül, például a tyúk nem tud jól repülni. A denevér, bár tud repülni, nem madár, mert nincs tolla és a kicsinye sem tojásból kel ki.
A lapok alján az "Ide tartozik" csoportban találják a helyes megoldásokat. A "Nem színezett" kifejezés alatt közös tulajdonságuk alapján kaphatnak nevet a képek. Más csoportosítás is elfogadható lehet. Az "Ide tartozik még" kategória ötleteket ad az üres karikák kitöltéséhez.

Forr a vérem!
Miranda Wake, egy menő New York-i magazin kíméletlen étteremkritikusa a századik kritika után arról álmodik, hogy végre továbbléphessen a könyvkiadás izgalmas világába, és komoly feltáró művet írhasson egy feltörekvő, új étterem konyhájának kulisszatitkairól. Amikor az arrogáns, de szívdöglesztő főszakács, Adam Temple hirtelen jött ötlettől vezérelve fogadást ajánl, Miranda egy percig sem habozik. Lehet, hogy a pasi csak valami béna csajozós dumának szánta ezt az "úgysem bírsz ki egy napot sem a konyhámban" - szöveget, de Mirandának esze ágában sincs elszalasztani a lehetőséget. Sőt! Ha már lúd, legyek kövér... Egyetlen nap alatt úgysem derül ki semmi, és Miranda nem azért rámenős újságíró, hogy ne tupírozza föl a fogadást rögtön egy hónapra. Egy teljes hónap a legújabb, legmenőbb helyen! Most aztán mindent megtudhat arról, mi folyik valójában a legszuperebb manhattani étterem konyhájában. Arról persze senkinek sem kell feltétlenül tudnia, hogy még egy tojást is alig tud megfőzni. Csak ez a kiállhatatlan pasi ne lenne ilyen pofátlanul, bosszantóan helyes

The Road
A father and his son walk alone through burned America, heading through the ravaged landscape to the coast. This is the profoundly moving story of their journey. The Road boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which two people, 'each the other's world entire', are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. 'The first great masterpiece of the globally warmed generation. Here is an American classic which, at a stroke, makes McCarthy a contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature . . . An absolutely wonderful book that people will be reading for generations' Andrew O'Hagan 'A work of such terrible beauty that you will struggle to look away' Tom Gatti, The Times 'So good that it will devour you, in parts. It is incandescent' Niall Griffiths, Daily Telegraph 'You will read on, absolutely convinced, thrilled, mesmerised. All the modern novel can do is done here' Alan Warner, Guardian

LIVING AND EATING
Living and Eating is above all a cookery book, packed with 'luscious recipes' (Marie Claire), with food that has been selected to be simple and delicious. The intention is to narrow the gap between how we eat on a daily basis and how we entertain, recognizing that the most relaxed form of entertaining is simply about inviting people to join you at your table. The collection of recipes is designed to cater for all seasons and occasions, and gives attention to making the best ever version of everyone's favourites: there are recipes for roast chicken, the definitive tomato salad, tagliatelle a la carbonara, apple tart and summer pudding. The book goes beyond the food itself to look at the whole context in which we enjoy it - the plates and glasses we eat and drink from, the equipment we use to prepare the food and the kitchen in which we cook. Exquisitely designed and produced, and illustrated with stunning food photography and photographs of John Pawson's London house, Living and Eating is an unparalleled, much praised guide to a simple yet utterly seductive way of cooking, eating and living.
