The Iconic British House
A comprehensive survey of fifty of Britain’s most architecturally significant houses from 1900 to the present, featuring established names alongside the work of fresh emerging talents in the twenty-first century. Covering the major design movements of the past 120 years, including art deco, modernism, and postmodernism, this book also offers a unique insight into changing tastes and attitudes about the home in Britain.In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in the architectural history and heritage of Britain.
This has been driven by many important political, cultural, and social factors, from Brexit to the rise of the staycation, as well as a powerful and renewed interest in the design of house and home.The featured houses include examples designed by architects Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Edwin Lutyens, Berthold Lubetkin, Serge Chermayeff, Richard Rogers, and many others.
Twenty-first-century innovation and imagination are evidenced in homes by established and emerging talents, such as Seth Stein, Nick Eldridge, Robin Partington, and Ken Shuttleworth.Much more than a celebration of influential houses, this richly illustrated overview is a comprehensive guide to shifting architectural movements and ideas, a survey of great architects with international relevance, and a journey through changing tastes, styles, aesthetics, and patterns of living.

Secret Royals
For the first time, The Secret Royals uncovers the remarkable relationship between the Royal Family and the intelligence community, from the reign of Queen Victoria to the death of Princess Diana.
In an enthralling narrative, Richard J. Aldrich and Rory Cormac show how the British secret services grew out of persistent attempts to assassinate Victoria and then operated on a private and informal basis, drawing on close personal relationships between senior spies, the aristocracy, and the monarchy. This reached its zenith after the murder of the Romanovs and the Russian revolution when, fearing a similar revolt in Britain, King George V considered using private networks to provide intelligence on the loyalty of the armed forces - and of the broader population.
In 1936, the dramatic abdication of Edward VIII formed a turning point in this relationship. What originally started as family feuding over a romantic liaison with the American divorcee Wallis Simpson, escalated into a national security crisis. Fearing the couple's Nazi sympathies as well as domestic instability, British spies turned their attention to the King. During the Second World War, his successor, King George VI gradually restored trust between the secret world and House of Windsor. Thereafter, Queen Elizabeth II regularly enacted her constitutional right to advise and warn, raising her eyebrow knowingly at prime ministers and spymasters alike.
Based on original research and new evidence, The Secret Royals presents the British monarchy in an entirely new light and reveals how far their majesties still call the shots in a hidden world.

Miért kell Kohn bácsinak négy hűtőszekrény?
Ez a szórakoztató és egyben elgondolkodtató olvasmány a zsidó humor népszerű témáját közelíti meg egyedi, újszerű módon. A szerző többéves kulturális antropológiai kutatása során temérdek viccet, tréfás történetet, helyzetkomikumot, megjegyzést gyűjtött a Bethlen téri zsinagógában. Az idézett példák néprajzi, nyelvészeti forrásértéke önmagában is izgalmassá teszi a könyvet. Papp Richárd azonban nem éribe a gyűjtött anyagok közlésével, részletes betekintést nyújt a viccek, humoros szituációk közösségi-kulturális hátterébe is, hogy ezáltal az olvasó közelebbről is megismerhesse a zsidó humor összefüggéseit a zsidó identitás és kultúra sajátosságaival.

Lacná kniha Szépségkoldusok
József Attila, Illyés Gyula, Juhász Gyula és Ferenczi Sándor érzelmi konfliktusai tárulnak föl a kötet négy drámájában.
Valachi Anna irodalomtörténész József Attila családi, baráti és nőkapcsolatait elemezve rájött, hogy a költő mozgalmas élete nem csupán "kész regény", hanem sokrétű lélektani nyersanyag is, melyet a színpadi feldolgozás katartikusan közvetíthet.
E fölismerés ihlette a Minket, Gyuszi, szeretni kell című "érzelmiháromszög-történetet" és a József Jolán, az édes mostoha című hangjátékot. A Dr. Freud, a házasságközvetítő című színmű - mely egy nősülési problémán keresztül Sigmund Freud és magyar tanítványa apa-fiú konfliktusát jeleníti meg - a tragikomikus elemeket sem nélkülözi.
A címadó dráma pedig Juhász Gyula szerencsétlen sorsán keresztül a költő utolsó, titkos szerelmének kilétére derít fényt.

The Essential Harlem Detectives
A friend and contemporary of Richard Wright and James Baldwin - and every bit their equal - Chester Himes was the acclaimed author of literary novels, stories and essays, as well as the classic crime fiction series for which he is best known, featuring detectives Coffin Ed Johnson and Gravedigger Jones.
Himes wrote nine novels in the Harlem Detectives series, and in these four popular, accomplished instalments, his cold, wise-cracking sleuths are thrown into a brutal, murderous world peopled with conniving con men, gut-toting gangsters and opium-smoking preachers. Himes's vision of Harlem's criminal underground, enriched by deft plotting and scintillating dialogue, is both riotous entertainment and penetrating enquiry into the fraught tensions of race in postwar America.

But when Cross is mistakenly reported to have died, he is suddenly free to put his ideals to the test - and a reign of terror and destruction ensues.

What You Need to Be Warm
Sometimes it only takes a stranger in a dark place... to say we have the right to be here, to make us warm in the coldest season.
In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? Over 1,000 responses later, Neil began to weave replies from across the world into a poem in aid of the UNHCR's winter appeal. It revealed our shared desire to feel safe, welcome and warm in a world that can often feel frightening and lonely.
Now publishing in hardback and illustrated by a group of artists from around the world, What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from. It is about holding out a hand to welcome those who find themselves far from home.
Featuring new, original illustrations from Chris Riddell, Benji Davies, Yuliya Gwilym, Nadine Kaadan, Daniel Egnéus, Pam Smy, Petr Horácek, Beth Suzanna, Bagram Ibatoulline, Marie-Alice Harel, Majid Adin and Richard Jones, with a thought-provoking cover from Oliver Jeffers.
Sales of every copy of this book will help support the work of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which helps forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the world.
Moc obyčajného skutku
AJ TY MÔŽEŠ PRINIESŤ ZMENU
Svet okolo nás sa nám možno zdá veľmi často odmeraný a neprajný. Autorka tejto knihy, Debbie Macomberová, sa na vlastnej koži presvedčila, že život prežívaný v duchu štedrosti prináša nečakané zázraky. Životy ľudí sa môžu zmeniť spôsobom, akým si to ani nevieme predstaviť. Jeden malý chlapec v Galilei dobrovoľne odovzdal svoje ryby a chleby Ježišovi a stal sa svedkom toho, ako sa jeho skromný dar mnohonásobne rozmnožil a nasýtil päťtisíc mužov. Aj my môžeme žiť s otvorenými dlaňami a žasnúť nad tým, čo Boh uskutočňuje prostredníctvom našich obyčajných skutkov štedrosti.
Táto úžasná zbierka skutočných príbehov a motivujúcich posolstiev vás poteší a zároveň prekvapí. Pri jej čítaní sa na vlastné oči presvedčíte, že darovanie času, povzbudenia, nádeje, smiechu, modlitby, služby, prejavenie pohostinnosti či odpustenia často mení život nielen príjemcovi týchto darov, ale aj ich darcovi. Stačí jeden obyčajný skutok.
Debbie Macomberová nás pomocou svojho majstrovského rozprávačského talentu vyzýva, aby sme žili s otvoreným srdcom a ponúkali Bohu to, kým sme a čo máme, aby to mohol použiť v živote druhých ľudí. Keď to budeme robiť s dychtivým pocitom očakávania, životy ľudí – vrátane nášho vlastného – sa zmenia tak, ako si to ani nevieme predstaviť.

The Black Box: Writing the Race
A foundational reckoning with how Black Americans have used the written word to define and redefine themselves, by one of the nation's major literary critics
Distilled over many years from Henry Louis Gates Jr's legendary Harvard course in African American Studies, The Black Box- Writing the Race is the story of Black self-definition in America through the prism of the writers who have led the way. From Phillis Wheatley and Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, to Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright, James Baldwin and Toni Morrison, these writers used words to create a liveable world - a "home" - for Black people destined to live in a bitterly racist society.
This is a community that defined and transformed itself in defiance of oppression and lies; a collective act of resistance and transcendence that is at the heart of its self-definition. Out of that contested ground has flowered a resilient, creative, powerful, diverse culture formed by people who have often disagreed markedly about what it means to be 'Black', and about how best to shape a usable past out of the materials at hand, to call into being a more just and equitable future.
This is the epic story of how, through essays and speeches, novels, plays and poems, a long line of creative thinkers has unveiled the contours of - and resisted confinement in - the black box that this "nation within a nation" has been assigned, from its founding to today. It is a book that records the compelling saga of the creation of a people.
Two Riders Were Approaching: The Life & Death of Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy was a down-at-heel guitarist in New York, relying on his latest lovers to support him while he tried to emulate his hero Bob Dylan. A black guy playing white rock music, he wanted to be all things to all people.
But when Jimmy arrived in England and became Jimi, the cream of swinging London fell under his spell. It wasn't that Jimi could play with his teeth, play with his guitar behind his back. It was that he could really play.
Journeying through the purple haze of idealism and paranoia of the sixties, Jimi Hendrix was the man who made Eric Clapton consider quitting, to whom Bob Dylan deferred on his own song 'All Along the Watchtower', who forced Miles Davis to reconsider his buttoned-down ways - and whose 'Star Spangled Banner' defined Woodstock.
And when his star, which had burned so brightly, was extinguished far too young, his legend lived on in the music - and the intrigue surrounding his death.
Eschewing the traditional rock-biography format, Two Riders Were Approaching is a fittingly psychedelic and kaleidoscopic exploration of the life and death of Jimi Hendrix - and a journey into the dark heart of the sixties. While the groupies lined up, the drugs got increasingly heavy and the dream of the sixties burned in the fire and blood of the Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King and the election of President Richard Nixon.
Acclaimed writer Mick Wall, author of When Giants Walked the Earth, has drawn upon his own interviews and extensive research to produce an inimitable, novelistic telling of this tale - the definitive portrait of the Guitar God at whose altar other guitar gods worship.
Jimi Hendrix's is a story that has been told many times before - but never quite like this.
