BMW - Híres autómárkák
Magyarországon különösen népszerű a bajor márka, ezért gondoltuk, hogy itt az ideje megjelentetni a Híres autómárkák sorozatban a BMW-ről szóló kötetet is. Ez a kiadvány nemcsak arra hivatott, hogy bemutassa az eseményeket és körülményeket, amelyek a cég termékeinek fejlődését befolyásolták, hanem arra is, hogy a szépet, az értéket közvetítse. Azzal talán nem mondunk újat, ha megállapítjuk: a BMW társaság által előállított járművek a német műszaki gondolkodás tipikus megtestesülései. A kínos pontosságon, a tevékenységek szigorú programozásán túlmenően azonban mást is tapasztalhatunk, ha közelebbről kívánjuk megismerni a márkát: ez pedig a motiváló erejű magabiztosság. Ebből fakadóan a BMW-nek még a legkétségbeejtőbb körülmények közepette is akadtak (akadnak) rejtett tartalékai - gondolhatunk itt például a második világháború utáni eseményekre. 1945-ben és az azt követő években a győztes szövetségesek gyakorlatilag felkoncolták a társaságot, amely aztán mégis erőre kapott, és a későbbi elhibázott típuspolitika ellenére fennmaradt. 1959-ben a Daim-ler-Benz kívánta bekebelezni a pénzügyi nehézségekkel küszködő céget, a kisrészvényesek kollektív akaratereje viszont felülkerekedett, így végül sikerült meggyőzni a nagyrészvényes dr. Herbert Quandtot arról, mennyire fontos a márka függetlensége. Hogy mire képes még az akaraterő, azt a gyönyörű járműveket bemutató gazdag illusztráció kézzelfoghatóvá teszi. A kötetben a cégtörténeten, a sorozatban gyártott autókon kívül helyet kapnak a jelentős motorkerékpár-típusok, a tanulmányautók, a tuningolt gépek is, és nem maradhatott ki a sporttörténelem sem. Aki pedig arra kíváncsi, mi az a BMW Welt, milyen a gyári múzeum, vagy hogy mit tehet egy társaság a kultúráért, a dolgozók képességeinek kibontakoztatásáért, az itt szintén választ kaphat kérdéseire. Kezdődjék hát az időutazás, amihez kellemes időtöltést kívánok!" (Bancsi Péter)

Until Proven Safe
Quarantine has shaped our world, yet it remains both feared and misunderstood. It is our most powerful response to uncertainty, but it operates through an assumption of guilt: in quarantine, we are considered infectious until proven safe. An unusually poetic metaphor for moral and mythic ills, quarantine means waiting to see if something hidden inside of us will be revealed.
Until Proven Safe tracks the history and future of quarantine around the globe, chasing the story of emergency isolation through time and space - from the crumbling lazarettos of the Mediterranean to the hallways of the CDC, to the corporate giants hoping to disrupt the widespread quarantine imposed by Covid-19 before the next pandemic hits through surveillance and algorithmic prediction.
Yet quarantine is more than just a medical tool: Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley drop deep into the Earth to tour a nuclear-waste isolation facility beneath the New Mexican desert, strip down to nothing but protective Tyvek suits to see plants stricken with a disease that threatens the world's wheat supply, and meet NASA's Planetary Protection Officer tasked with saving the Earth from extraterrestrial infections.
The result is part travelogue, part intellectual history - a book as compelling as it is definitive, and one that could not be more urgent or timely.
'Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley offer answers that will make your jaw drop. Nothing about "quarantine" is as simple or straight-forward as you think.' - Laurie Garrett, author of The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World out of Balance

Highly Recommended Workbook
This title is for younger trainees in the hospitality and catering industry.
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©

The Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne Paintings 1976–1978, V 5
The highly anticipated fifth volume of The Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne, covering his paintings from 1976 to 1978
This two-book addition to The Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne persuasively demonstrates the subversive core of Warhol's art. Intent on radical departure from his portraiture in the early seventies, Warhol's production gradually became anything but 'just faces'. From portraits of athletes and self-portraits to his Skull and Hammer and Sickle series, the Torso and Sex Parts paintings, and his abstract Piss, Oxidation, and Cum canvases, volume 5 showcases Warhol's work as powerful, and provocative as ever.

Good Pictures
A picture-rich field guide to American photography, from daguerreotype to digital.
We are all photographers now, with camera phones in hand and social media accounts at the ready. And we know which pictures we like. But what makes a "good picture"? And how could anyone think those old styles were actually good? Soft-focus yearbook photos from the '80s are now hopelessly?and happily?outdated, as are the low-angle portraits fashionable in the 1940s or the blank stares of the 1840s. From portraits to products, landscapes to food pics, Good Pictures proves that the history of photography is a history of changing styles.
In a series of short, engaging essays, Kim Beil uncovers the origins of fifty photographic trends and investigates their original appeal, their decline, and sometimes their reuse by later generations of photographers. Drawing on a wealth of visual material, from vintage how-to manuals to magazine articles for working photographers, this full-color book illustrates the evolution of trends with hundreds of pictures made by amateurs, artists, and commercial photographers alike. Whether for selfies or sepia tones, the rules for good pictures are always shifting, reflecting new ways of thinking about ourselves and our place in the visual world.

Eye Spy (Family Spies 2)
In this second installment of the Family Spies series, set in the bestselling world of Valdemar, the children of Heralds Mags and Amily must follow in their parents' footsteps to protect the realm. Mags, Herald Spy of Valdemar, and his wife, Amily, the King's Own Herald, are happily married with three kids. Their daughter, Abidela, dreams of building upon her parents' legacy by joining the Artificers, hoping to offset her seeming lack of a Gift. But when Abi senses the imminent collapse of a bridge only moments before it happens, she saves countless lives, including that of her best friend, Princess Katiana. The experience, though harrowing, uncovers her unique Gift-an ability to sense the physical strains in objects. Intrigued by the potential of her Gift, the Artificers seek to claim her as their own-but so do the Healers. Through training with both of them, Abi discovers unique facets of her Gift, including a synesthetic connection to objects that allows her to "see" as well as feel the strains. Her Gift may also grant her a distinct advantage as a spy-there won't be a building in the entire kingdom of Valdemar with a secret room that she doesn't know about. With the help of her mentors, she must hone her gift to uncover the hidden secrets in the depths of Valdemar.

World Press Photo: Next 01
The Joop Swart Masterclass has been organized by World Press Photo every year since 1994 and has established itself as one of the most prestigious events of its kind. It has played host to some of the finest young photographers from around the world, bringing them into contact with some of the most established members of the profession of photojournalism. The masterclass owes its name to World Press Photo's late chairman, who was a passionate supporter of young photography talent. Since its inception, the masterclass has provided a springboard for participants destined to become the cream of the crop of photojournalists. To name just a few: Giorgia Fiorio, Kadir van Lohuizen, Jodi Bieber, Paolo Pellegrin, Olivier Culmann, Stephan Vanfleteren, Joachim Ladefoged, Balazs Gardi, Jonas Bendiksen, Pep Bonet, Tim Hetherington, Justin Jin, Lynsey Addario, Alexander Gronsky, Martin Kollar, Gillian Laub, Simon Roberts, Naomi Harris, Benjamin Lowy, Pieter ten Hoopen, Samantha Appleton, Alfredo D'Amato, Rena Effendi, Lana Slezic, Stephanie Sinclair, Mikhael Subotzky, Newsha Tavakolian, Olivia Arthur, Christoph Bangert, Kate Brooks, Alexandra Demenkova, Cedric Gerbehaye, Rafal Milach, Peter van Agtmael, Kathryn Cook, Dominc Nahr... At the beginning of each year, 18 independent selection committees nominate over 170 young photographers from across the globe as candidates for the masterclass, inviting each to submit a portfolio of work for consideration. After the selection by an independent committee, the twelve finalists are asked to produce a photo essay in which they give their interpretation of the theme chosen that year by the selection committee. An edit of all twelve participants' photo stories is made and published in the Masterclass book. During the 6-day long masterclass, six internationally known professionals from the world of photography dedicated a week of their time sharing their personal experience and expertise with the students. Each year, the program of the Joop Swart Masterclass is tailored to the specific learning needs of the students but in general includes: review sessions serving to evaluate the participating photographers' work and their approach, interactive group sessions on specific topics related to the experience and expertise of the masters, one-on-one sessions, editing exercises and the launch of this book. For the first time, the book has been co-published by World Press Photo and Schilt Publishing. Schilt Publishing also produces the World Press Yearbook, which is published in seven different languages.
