Araki
The classic Photofile series brings together the best work of the world's greatest photographers in an attractive format and at a reasonable price.Handsome and collectible, the books are produced to the highest standards. Each volume contains reproductions printed in superb duotone and/or color, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography. There are some adjectives one hesitates to use: exceptional and unclassifiable are among them. Nonetheless, they apply to Nobuyoshi Araki, who has turned photography into the very essence of his existence. Prolific to an astonishing degree, he has spent over thirty years building up an "autobiophotography" that displays the fundamentals of his daily life without modesty or restraint. Fascinated by women and by the city—particularly Tokyo, which he documents in all its frenetic moods—he is the leader in a new school and the role model for a younger generation that goes beyond aesthetics to seek the truth in every moment. 79 color and duotone photographs

Building Skins
The external facades of a building are more than a protective mantle, or an intelligent skin regulating temperature and light, they also determine its very appearance. By unusual choices of materials and the use of complex technology, facades have become increasingly significant in recent years. External surfaces are being perceived as an integral part of the building and are therefore being designed as such. This volume focuses on the wide-ranging aspects of facade design, from the selection and use of materials to the advanced technical possibilities now open to the architect. A wide array of carefully selected international examples show the theory in the practice. All plans, details, and large scale sections of the facades have been researched with the high degree of competence typical of the editorial staff from the review Detail. Expert authors provide the essential information needed to plan and design facades and elucidate on the latest developments in technology and materials.

Sapphire Rose
The concluding volume of the masterful Elenium trilogy, now part of the voyager classics collection. The jewel of life is rescued from the distant cave of troll-dwarf Ghwerig and the Queen can be saved. But in returning to the Elenia, Sparhawk and his companions risk delivering power into the hands of their enemies. The unholy triple alliance between Otha, degenerate sorcerer-king of the Zemochs, the renegade Pandion Knight Martel, and Annias, traitorous Primate of Cimmura, stands ready to seize the jewel in the name of the evil god Azash. Sparhawk calls the jewel the sapphire rose: to prevent Azash gaining dominance over the whole world, he may have to unleash its full power, but no one can predict whether the world itself would survive such an event. This brilliant conclusion to The Elenium is fantasy on a truly epic scale which could only have been created by the greatest of modern fantasy writers -- David Eddings.

Un Secret
Souvent les enfants s'inventent une famille, une autre origine, d'autres parents. Le narrateur de ce livre, lui, s'est inventé un frre. Un frre aîné, plus beau, plus fort, qu'il évoque devant les copains de vacances, les étrangers, ceux qui ne vérifieront pas... Et puis un jour, il découvre la vérité, impressionnante, terrifiante presque. Et c'est alors toute une histoire familiale, lourde, complexe, qu'il lui incombe de reconstituer. Une histoire tragique qui le ramne aux temps de l'Holocauste, et des millions de disparus sur qui s'est abattue une chape de silence. Psychanalyste, Philippe Grimbert est venu au roman avec La Petite Robe de Paul. Avec ce nouveau livre, couronné en 2004 par le prix Goncourt des lycéens et en 2005 par le Grand Prix littéraire des lectrices de Elle, il démontre avec autant de rigueur que d'émotion combien les puissances du roman peuvent aller loin dans l'exploration des secrets l'uvre dans nos vies.

LIFE - A Journey Through Time
In the year 2000, world-renowned wildlife photographer Frans Lanting set out on a personal journey to photograph the evolution of life on earth. He made pilgrimages to true time capsules like a remote lagoon in Western Australia, spent time in research collections photographing forms of microscopic life, and even found ways to create visual parallels between the growth of organs in the human body and the patterns seen on the surface of the earth. The resulting volume is a glorious picture book of planet earth depicting the amazing biodiversity that surrounds us all. Lanting’s true gift lies beyond his technical mastery: it is his eye for geometry in the beautiful chaos of nature that allows him to show us the world as it has never been seen before. From crabs to jellyfish, diatoms to vast geological formations, jungles to flowers, monkeys to human embryos, LIFE is a testament to the magical beauty of life in all its forms and is Lanting’s most remarkable achievement to date.

OWC Selected Poetry
Wordsworth (1770-1850) is one of the most important and enduringly popular of all the English poets. Wordsworth's verse declares a belief in the power of poetry to teach by appealing to the imagination and to the 'grand elementary principle of pleasure, by which man knows, and feels, and lives, and moves'. His unique relationship with the poet and political activist Samuel Taylor Coleridge, founded in the political and social ferment of 1795, produced a revolution in literature, resulting in the joint volume, Lyrical Ballads (1798-1805) - a landmark in the history of English Romanticism. In this edition the poems are given in the texts in which they first appeared, and were appreciated by Keats, Shelley, Hazlitt and other contemporaries. This selection, chosen from the Oxford Authors critical edition, includes all Wordsworth's finest lyrics, and a large sample of The Prelude (1805), his extraordinary autobiographical poem in blank verse and the first truly great acheivement of a new era in English

Frankenstein: Or The Modern Prometheus - The 1818 Text (Oxford World´s Classics)

This new edition, based on the harder and wittier 1818 version of the text, draws on new research and examines the novel in the context of the controversial radical sciences developing in the years following the Napoleonic Wars, and shows the relationship of Frankenstein's experiment to the contemporary debate between champions of materialistic science and proponents of received religion.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

On the Origin of Species (Oxford World´s Classics)
In The Origin of Species (1859) Darwin challenged many of the most deeply-held beliefs of the Western world. Arguing for a material, not divine, origin of species, he showed that new species are achieved by "natural selection." The Origin communicates the enthusiasm of original thinking in an open, descriptive style, and Darwin's emphasis on the value of diversity speaks more strongly now than ever. As well as a stimulating introduction and detailed notes, this edition offers a register of the many writers referred to by Darwin in the text.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

Ten Series Photographs
Australian photographer Matthew Sleeth is a consummate observer, exploring the world around him with an acute and often humorous eye. His latest project, Ten Series/106 Photographs, emphasizes how the sequencing of images is an essential part of creating photographic meaning, a conceit with precedents in the work of Ed Ruscha, among others. Sleeth's playfulness, wry sensibility and unorthodox visual style, however, also recall practicing photographers like Lars Tunbjork and Lee Friedlander. With its range of typologies, Ten Series/106 Photographs is varied and eclectic. Topics include Japanese women in uniform, tagged trees and plants in an arboretum, "Red" China and Mount Fuji (inspired by old Japanese prints, but with each image taken from a modern vantage point). Through its casual exploration of these disparate themes, this volume offers a view of a contemporary world that is structured on somewhat arbitrary types, categories and systems of classification--all the while making allusions to the role that photography has played in this process.

A férfi hanyatlása és bukása
Kicsoda a férfi? Bátor harcos, aki minden veszélytől megóvja családját? Csábító macsó, a női szívek elrablója? Példás és odaadó apa, aki munka után a gyerekeinek él? Nagy formátumú gondolkodó és zseniális tudós? Vagy épp az ellenkezője: erőszakos, bárdolatlan, züllött, önző és hatalmaskodó? Esetleg, ami még rosszabb: egyszerűen csak papucs?
A férfi a teremtés koronája és bukott angyal: amit felépít az egyik kezével, azt romba dönti a másikkal. Szájkosarat viselő fenevad, aki jól-rosszul igyekszik alakítani a kultúrlény szerepét. Öntörvényű lázadó, aki fejjel rohan a falnak, miközben többet kell pátyolgatni, mint egy óvodást. Igazi vezéregyéniség, akit megfutamodásra késztet a saját szennyese.
Szendi Gábor a tőle megszokott szellemes stílusban, kíméletlen alapossággal mutatja be az erősebbiknek vélt nemet. A férfi maga a rendszerhiba, az evolúció átgondolatlan, sebtiben összetákolt találmánya. Gyártási folyamatának kulisszái mögé pillantva láthatjuk, hányféle buktatón át vezet az út, mire egyáltalán megszületik - az igazi bonyodalmak pedig csak ezután következnek. A férfit fenyegető legnagyobb veszély ugyanis éppen saját maga.
A férfi hanyatlása és bukása súlyos állításokat fogalmaz meg, és nem ígér kész recepteket, együtt gondolkodásra hív. Meglepő összefüggéseivel és vadonatúj nézőpontjaival. A nő felemelkedése és tündöklése méltó párja.
Szendi Gábor író és pszichológus, a paleolit táplálkozás magyarországi meghonosítója és elterjesztője, mindenekelőtt azonban szabadgondolkodó. Azt vallja, hogy modern világunk fényévekre távolodott attól a létformától, amihez évmilliók során alkalmazkodtunk. Bár nagyvárosokban élünk, és szuperintelligens kütyükkel vesszük körül magunkat, az agyunk még mindig egy vadászó-gyűjtögető törzs tagjáé. Ha teljesebb és boldogabb életre vágyunk, először meg kell értenünk, mire is lettünk kitalálva.
