Marvel Comics Library. X-Men. Vol. 1. 1963-1966
When Marvel publisher Martin Goodman asked Stan Lee to deliver another new team book for his line of comics, he had no idea he’d be getting something like The X-Men. In fact, nobody could have imagined the extraordinary phenomenon the X-Men would eventually grow into?not Goodman, not Lee, not even the forward-thinking futurist Jack Kirby. What they started out as was a charming, ragtag team of misfits, devised by Lee and Kirby to be mutants?youngsters born with “X-tra” powers thrust upon them not by accidentally crossing paths with cosmic rays or a nuclear blast, but by the fate of birth?led by a no-nonsense professor who trained them to become heroes that could protect the world from menaces, mutant and otherwise.
The first years of storytelling laid the foundation for much of what has put the X-Men at the crossroads of comics and popular culture: Hounded by a public that fears and misunderstands them, mutantkind find themselves at the heart of their own civil rights struggle; Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Beast, and Iceman found safety amongst themselves despite the challenges that set them apart from others in society; and Professor Xavier lined up against his ideological foe, Magneto, who had assembled a Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to take the fight for their self-preservation directly to humankind.
Along the way, Lee and Kirby?who were on fire taking comics into the Marvel Age?introduced a menagerie of villains and supporting characters that would become mainstays of Marvel and its lore: the super-powered siblings Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch; the formidable Blob; the unstoppable Juggernaut; the jungle dweller from the Savage Land, Ka-Zar; the demigod from the stars, the Stranger; and Bolivar Trask and his army of mutant-hunting Sentinels. And as Lee and Kirby gave way to new talents so they could move on to new corners of the Marvel Universe, Atlas era art veteran Werner Roth teamed with writing newcomer and future X-Men legend Roy Thomas to begin their long run on the title.Close in size to the original artworks, this XXL-sized edition features the first 21 stories of our favorite oddball super heroes from 1963–1966.
The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Each page has been photographed as printed more than half a century ago, then digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era’s inexpensive, imperfect printing?as if hot off of a world-class 1960s printing press. A custom paper stock was exclusively developed for this series to simulate the feel of the original comics.
In addition to these seminal tales are an original foreword by modern X-Men mastermind Chris Claremont, reliving the heyday of Lee and Kirby’s foundational years, and an in-depth essay by X-Men writer Fabian Nicieza alongside original art, photographs, and memorabilia from the early years of X.Also available in a Collector’s Edition of 1,000 numbered copies©

Bettina Lockemann: Thinking the Photobook
What are the unique properties of the photobook? A practitioner’s material analysis of the form
The photobook gives shape to arrangements and sequences of photographs and brings them into a sensually tangible form. The book format, the materiality of the paper and the type of binding have just as much effect on the viewer as the selection of images, their positioning in the layout, typography and text. In Thinking the Photobook, photographer and theorist Bettina Lockemann approaches the medium from a research perspective, enumerating the various properties that are unique to the form and that distinguish it from other kinds of visual publication.

Riadenie portfólia komunálnych obligácií
Žiaduci rozvoj miest a obcí a zabezpečovanie potrieb obyvateľstva i regiónov naráža na obmedzené vlastné prostriedky i na obmedzené úverové zdroje. Mestá a obce vo vyspelých krajinách namiesto úveru čoraz viac využívajú iný spôsob získavania potrebných finančných prostriedkov, a to emisiou komunálnych obligácií a iných cenných papierov. K emitovaniu cenných papierov ako spôsobu financovania verejných investícií sa u nás vraciame po mnohých desaťročiach a bez veľkých skúseností. Dá sa však očakávať, že tento spôsob získavania prostriedkov bude stále častejší. V publikácii sa podrobne a do hĺbky rozoberá systém, spôsoby a podmienky emisie cenných papierov na úrovni municipalít. Publikácia sa člení na štyri časti. V prvej z nich sa autori zaoberajú základnými druhmi a derivátmi komunálnych obligácií a popisujú ich charakteristické znaky. Druhá časť osobitne zaujme finančných manažérov v oblasti samosprávy, lebo obsahuje oceňovanie a kritériá výnosov z komunálnych obligácií a spôsoby merania ich potenciálnej cenovej volatility pri zmenách úrokových sadzieb. Tretia časť je venovaná analýze, ktorá je potrebná na zhodnotenie úverovej kvality komunálnych obligácií. Týka sa úverovej spoľahlivosti rôznych typov komunálnych obligácií pre investorov, spoločností zaoberajúcich sa úverovým ratingom týchto obligácií, nových prvkov oceňovania potenciálneho úverového rizika. Upozorňuje na všetky otázky, ktoré musia byť zodpovedané pri každom úvere a zárukách ešte pred analýzou rizík. Vo štvrtej časti sa autori sústreďujú na riadenie portfólia komunálnych obligácií, rôzne investičné stratégie a metódu celkovej výnosovosti pri oceňovaní potenciálnych výsledkov jednotlivých stratégií. V prílohe publikácie nájde zasvätený čitateľ charakteristiku určitých odlišností komunálnych obligácií, v rámci ktorej autori obracajú jeho pozornosť na tie, čo sa vyznačujú špecifickými silnými a slabými stránkami. Publikácia orientuje samosprávne orgány na zvýšenie miery ekonomickej sebestačnosti, závisiacej len od ich vlastnej aktivity a umožňuje im získať zdroje príjmov, ktoré sú vopred plánovateľné pri zostavovaní rozpočtu.

Gerilla - Franciaország végnapjai
A polgárháború elkerülhetetlen volt. Élje át Franciaország utolsó három napjának apokalipszisét. A közeljövő sötét Franciaországában egy rendőrségi intézkedés egy párizsi külvárosi negyedben tragédiába torkollik. Az egyik csapdába csalt rendőr elveszti hidegvérét, és válogatás nélkül tüzet nyit. Az iszlamista gettó lángra lobban, amibe az egész ország beleremeg. Városról városra terjed tovább a tűz, a Köztársaság darabjaira hullik. A rendőröket, a bűnözőket, a terroristákat, az állami vezetőket, az újságírókat és az átlag polgárokat egyaránt maga alá temeti a káosz. Azáram- és vízszolgáltatás gyorsan megszűnik, az élelmiszerkészletek kimerülnek, nincs többé közrend, kommunikáció, szállítás és orvosi ellátás. A káosz eléri a vidéket, a társadalom széthullik, és a városok az erőszak, a fosztogatók, és hatalmas tűzvészek áldozatáulesnek. Mindentől megfosztva és magukra utalva, a polgároknak fel kell készülniük, hogy szembeszálljanak a pusztítással. "Ami Franciaországgal történik, megtörténik majd máshol is." A Gerillában leírt események a francia hírszerzés lehallgatásain, felderítésein és előrejelzésein alapulnak. Két évnyi, szakszolgálatok tagjaitól, valamint terror- és katasztrófa-szakértőktől történő információgyűjtés után, az Utoya (a Breivik-ügy) és A francia mechanikus narancs oknyomozó művek szerzője egy nagy sikerű ultrarealista regénnyel jelent meg, mely egy polgárháború lüktető történetét mutatja be. "Kötelező olvasmánnyá tenném 500 millió európai polgár számára!" /Földi László, titkosszolgálati szakértő”

Humor, Seriously
WALL STREET JOURNAL, LOS ANGELES TIMES, AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER
Anyone even you! can learn how to harness the power of humor in business (and life), based on the popular class at Stanford s Graduate School of Business.
Don t miss the authors TED Talk, Why great leaders take humor seriously, online now.
The ultimate guide to using the magical power of funny as a tool for leadership and a force for good. Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of When and Drive
We are living through a period of unprecedented uncertainty and upheaval in both our personal and professional lives. So it should come as a surprise to exactly no one that trust, human connection, and mental well-being are all on the decline.
This may seem like no laughing matter. Yet, the research shows that humor and laughter are among the most valuable tools we have at our disposal for strengthening bonds and relationships, diffusing stress and tension, boosting resilience, and performing when the stakes are high.
That s why Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas teach the popular course Humor: Serious Business at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where they help some of the world s most hard-driving, blazer-wearing business minds infuse more humor and levity into their work and lives.
In Humor, Seriously, they draw on findings by behavioral scientists, world-class comedians, and inspiring business leaders to reveal how humor works and more important how you can use more of it, better.
Aaker and Bagdonas unpack the theory and application of humor: what makes something funny, how to mine your life for material, and simple ways to identify and leverage your unique humor style. They show how to use humor to rebuild vital connections; appear more confident, competent, and authentic at work; and foster cultures where levity and creativity can thrive.
President Dwight David Eisenhower once said, A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done. If Dwight David Eisenhower, the second least naturally funny president (after Franklin Pierce), thought humor was necessary to win wars, build highways, and warn against the military-industrial complex, then you might consider learning it too.

On Wars
A history of wars through the ages and across the world, and the irrational calculations that so often lie behind them
Benjamin Franklin once said, “There never was a good war or a bad peace.” But what determines whether war or peace is chosen? Award-winning sociologist Michael Mann concludes that it is a handful of political leaders?people with emotions and ideologies, and constrained by inherited culture and institutions?who undertake such decisions, usually irrationally choosing war and seldom achieving their desired results.
Mann examines the history of war through the ages and across the globe?from ancient Rome to Ukraine, from imperial China to the Middle East, from Japan and Europe to Latin and North America. He explores the reasons groups go to war, the different forms of wars, how warfare has changed and how it has stayed the same, and the surprising ways in which seemingly powerful countries lose wars. In masterfully combining ideological, economic, political, and military analysis, Mann offers new insight into the many consequences of choosing war.

Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, Vol. 1
From trailblazing political activist Angela Y. Davis, a major new collection of essays and interviews that argue for a radical rethinking of our prison systems
An icon of revolutionary politics, Angela Y. Davis has been at the forefront of collective movements for prison abolition for over fifty years. Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, the first of two important new volumes, brings together an essential collection of Davis’s essays, conversations, and interviews over the years, showing how her thinking has sharpened and evolved even as she has remained uncompromising in her commitment to collective liberation.

Combining decades of analytical brilliance and lessons from organising both inside and beyond prison walls, Davis addresses the history of abolitionist practice, details the unique contributions of women to abolitionist struggles, and offers the radical tools we need for revolutionary change.
Powerful and rewarding, filled with insight and provocation, Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, is essential reading for anyone seeking to imagine a world without prisons.

Into Thin Air
Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air is the true story of a 24-hour period on Everest, when members of three separate expeditions were caught in a storm and faced a battle against hurricane-force winds, exposure, and the effects of altitude, which ended in the worst single-season death toll in the peak's history.
In March 1996, Outside magazine sent veteran journalist and seasoned climber Jon Krakauer on an expedition led by celebrated Everest guide Rob Hall. Despite the expertise of Hall and the other leaders, by the end of summit day, eight people were dead. Krakauer's book is at once the story of the ill-fated adventure and an analysis of the factors leading up to its tragic end. Written within months of the events it chronicles, Into Thin Air clearly evokes the majestic Everest landscape.
As the journey up the mountain progresses, Krakauer puts it in context by recalling the triumphs and perils of other Everest trips throughout history. The author's own anguish over what happened on the mountain is palpable as he leads readers to ponder timeless questions.
One of the inspirations for the major motion picture Everest, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Keira Knightley.
Buddhist Art of Tibet
An insightful look at the history of Tibet and Buddhism through historical narratives and striking art from the Alain Bordier collection.
Fascinated by Buddhist art and Asian spirituality, Alain Bordier has spent more than forty years building a unique collection of religious objects from the Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan). On display today at the Tibet Museum in the heart of the medieval city of Gruyéres, Switzerland, some six hundred works offer visitors the rare opportunity to discover an endangered world heritage.
This volume presents a general historic and artistic framework of Tibetan art through narratives, anecdotes, and commentary from Bordier on the different subjects and the collection itself. Beyond the artistic aspect, this work demonstrates the symbolism and spirituality that emerge from each object and offers an interpretation of the themes from a Buddhist viewpoint. The highlight of the book is the presentation of an unpublished manuscript retracing the life of Milarepa, the great eleventh-century Tibetan yogi, whose analysis provides an excellent introduction to the great Buddhist principles.
