Led Zeppelin All the Songs
Fifty years after their first practice in a Soho basement, Led Zeppelin continues to fascinate new generations of listeners. While their back-stage debauchery has been the focus of other books, All the Songs is about the music, detailing the Page's studio magic and inspiration that made all nine albums go platinum, including Led Zeppelin IV which was certified x23 platinum and has sold more than 37 million copies worldwide.
Studio stories will include their productive time at Headley Grange in Wales, a poorly-heated former poorhouse where they recorded parts of Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti. And how the first album was recorded in three weeks but their second took six months, done while the band was on a world tour. They carried the masters of the recording session in a steamer trunk wherever they went. Out of these chaotic sessions came the "Whole Lotta Love," which was finished in New York with Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer helping create the psychedelic middle part, as well as "The Lemon Song," which was cut live in the studio. Page worked feverishly with Kramer to mix the LP on a primitive 12-channel Altec board in a two-day span.
Fans will also learn the genesis of their lyrics, the inspiration for their album covers, the instruments used, and the contributions of engineers such as Andy Johns, who helped create the iconic drum sound on "When the Levee Breaks" by recording Bonham at the bottom of a stairwell.

Menetjegy a pokolba
Sven Hassel 1917-ben született Dániában. Az 1929-es nagy gazdasági világválság idején Németországba emigrált, ahol önkéntesként beállt a hadseregbe. Innen Lengyelország lerohanása után (1939) dezertált, de elfogták és koncentrációs táborba küldték. A biztos halál elől az menekítette meg, hogy besorozták az Oroszországba induló büntetőezredbe, amellyel szinte az összes európai fronton megfordult - és megjárta a poklot. A háborús irodalom egyik legismertebb képviselője 2012-ben, 95 éves korában hunyt el.
A háború sok éve tart már, minden közkatona többszörösen sebesült és elcsigázott. Remélik, hamarosan hazajutnak. A szokásos különítmény az otthon melege helyett azonban ismét az orosz fronton találja magát. A puszta létért való küzdelem szüneteiben Porta a tőle megszokott módon igazi életművészként köt kétes üzleteket. A harcedzett csapathoz egy elcserélt medve is szegődik, aki Picinél is bátrabban megy neki az ellenségnek. Az oroszok támadásai és a kíméletlen orvlövészek mellett a nyakukba szakadt új parancsnok, von Pader százados okoz bosszúságot. Sven Hassel éles hangú, morbid humorral tálalt regényével az életműkiadás a 11. kötethez érkezett.
Hassel eddig megjelent regényei: Kárhozottak Légiója, Lánctalpak, Gyalogoshadosztály, Bajtársak, Gestapo, Monte Cassino, Eltörölni Párizst!, SS-tábornok, Fagyhalál, Pokoljárás, Menetjegy a pokolba.

A háborús irodalom egyik legismertebb képviselője 2012-ben, 95 éves korában hunyt el.
1939-et írunk. Porta, Pici, Papa, Barcelona, Heide és a többiek a finn fronton vívnak elkeseredett háborút a szovjetekkel és a kíméletlen, fagyos időjárással. A kihívásoknak ezzel nincs vége: titkos küldetéssel bízzák meg Papát és csapatát, melynek során egy erdőnek álcázott, ellenséges tábort kell a levegőbe repíteniük. A jól ismert század számára a hadviselést tovább nehezíti az egyre fanatikusabb német vezetéstől és legfőbb büntető eszközüktől, a torgaui katonai börtöntől való félelem. A kivégzéseket végül testközelből tapasztalják meg... Sven Hassel éles hangú, morbid humorral tálalt regényével az életműkiadás a 12. kötethez érkezett.

Le Corbusier
Born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, Le Corbusier (1887-1965) adopted his famous pseudonym after publishing his ideas in the review L’Esprit Nouveau in 1920. The few buildings he was able to design during the 1920s, when he also spent much of his time painting and writing, brought him to the forefront of modern architecture, though it wasn’t until after World War II that his epoch-making buildings were constructed, such as the Unité d’Habitation in Marseilles and the Church of Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp.

A Theory of Literary Production
Who is more important: the reader, or the writer? Originally published in French in 1966, Pierre Macherey’s first and most famous work, A Theory of Literary Production dared to challenge perceived wisdom, and quickly established him as a pivotal figure in literary theory. The reissue of this work as a Routledge Classic brings some radical ideas to a new audience, and argues persuasively for a totally new way of reading. As such, it is an essential work for anyone interested in the development of literary theory.

The Culture Code
`A marvel of insight and practicality' Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of HabitWhat do Pixar, Google and the San Antonio Spurs basketball team have in common? The answer is that they all owe their extraordinary success to their team-building skills. In The Culture Code, Daniel Coyle, New York Times bestselling author of The Talent Code, goes inside some of the most effective organisations in the world and reveals their secrets. He not only explains what makes such groups tick, but also identifies the key factors that can generate team cohesion in any walk of life.

Metaliteracy
This new book presents a comprehensive structure for information literacy theory that will help your students grasp an understanding of the critical thinking and reflection required to engage in technology spaces as savvy producers, collaborators, and sharers. Today's learners communicate, create, and share information using a range of information technologies such as social media, blogs, microblogs, wikis, mobile devices and apps, virtual worlds, and MOOCs. In their new book, respected information literacy experts Mackey and Jacobson present a comprehensive structure for information literacy theory that builds on decades of practice while recognizing the knowledge required for an expansive and interactive information environment. The concept of metaliteracy expands the scope of traditional information skills (determine, access, locate, understand, produce, and use information) to include the collaborative production and sharing of information in participatory digital environments (collaborate, produce, and share) prevalent in today's world. Combining theory and case studies, the authors: show why media literacy, visual literacy, digital literacy, and a host of other specific literacies are critical for informed citizens in the 21st century; offer a framework for engaging in today's information environments as active, self-reflective, and critical contributors to these collaborative spaces; and connect metaliteracy to such topics as metadata, the semantic web, metacognition, open education, distance learning, and digital storytelling. Readership: Any librarian involved in teaching information literacy, LIS students, academics and researchers.

Ways of Curating
Drawing on his own experiences and inspirations - from staging his first exhibition in his tiny Zurich kitchen in 1986 to encounters with artists, exhibition makers and thinkers - Hans Ulrich Obrist looks to inspire all those engaged in the creation of culture.
Moving from meetings with artists to the creation of the first public museums in the 18th century, recounting the practice of inspirational figures such as Diaghilev, skipping between exhibitions, continents and centuries, Ways of Curating argues that curation is far from a static practice. Driven by curiosity, at its best it allows us to create the future.
