The Utopians
Santiniketan-Sriniketan in India, Dartington Hall in England, Atarashiki Mura in Japan, the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in France, the Bruderhof in Germany and Trabuco College in America: six experimental communities established in the aftermath of the First World War, each aiming to change the world.
The Utopians is an absorbing and vivid account of these collectives and their charismatic leaders and reveals them to be full of eccentric characters, outlandish lifestyles and unchecked idealism.
Dismissed and even mocked in their time, yet, a century later, their influence still resonates in progressive education, environmentalism, medical research and mindfulness training. Without such inspirational experiments in how to live, post-war society would have been a poorer place.
Wood Book/Hough, Gold Edition
Culled and assembled by Romeyn Beck Hough between 1888 and 1913 in what still remains a stunning and unparalleled achievement, American Woods-originally published in 14 volumes, with actual specimens mounted on card stock-is a work of breathtaking beauty that has set the standard for the study of trees and wood.The Woodbook reproduces, in painstaking facsimile, all of the specimen pages from the original volumes; for this purpose, TASCHEN obtained an extremely rare original set of volumes in very good condition, with minimal damage to the wood cuts.
Arranged in alphabetical order, each tree is broken down into three different cross-section cuts of wood (radial, horizontal, and tangential), demonstrating the particular characteristics of the grain and the wealth of colors and textures to be found among the many different wood types.
Also included in this special edition are lithographs by Charles Sprague Sargent of the leaves and nuts of most trees, as well as texts explaining each tree's geographical origins and physical characteristics.
Babylon armád 2
Druhý diel monografie chronologicky nadväzuje na knihu Babylon armád 1, čím uzatvára ucelený a doteraz chýbajúci pohľad na priebeh bojov v sektore sovietskej 7. gardovej armády na juhozápadnom Slovensku na prelome rokov 1944 a 1945.
V prvej časti čitateľ našiel informácie o udalostiach odohrávajúcich sa od polovice decembra 1944 do konca januára 1945. Kniha Babylon armád 2 pokračuje vo vykresľovaní udalostí, ktoré nasledovali v ďalších mesiacoch. Zaoberá sa operáciou Südwind zameranou na likvidáciu hronského predmostia jednotkami Wehrmachtu, následnými prípravami Červenej armády na Bratislavsko-brniansku operáciu, ako aj jej začiatkom.
Geografickým a chronologickým limitom diela je prekonanie Váhu sovietskymi vojskami na prelome marca a apríla 1945. Záverečné kapitoly sa venujú aj otázke postavenia civilného obyvateľstva či zdokumentovaným vojnovým zločinom na sledovanom území.
Druhý diel taktiež ponúka čitateľom okrem slovenského textu aj anglické resumé a dvojjazyčné popisy obrázkov, pôvodné prehľadové mapy hlavných bojových operácií, dobové fotografie a bohatý poznámkový aparát.

Vicious Circle
Fires are spreading around the globe; the world is at its most precarious moment since 1939. NATO and the European Union are on the brink of war; tensions are rising near the shores of Taiwan. Europe and the United States are in disarray, while Russia and China are each waiting for the other to make the first direct move against the Western alliance system.The sequel to Bonfire, The Fury of the Tsar: Vicious Circle, shows why the American grand strategy of the last three decades is a failure, and why both neoconservative and liberal foreign policy are complete dead ends. It gives an unparalleled look into the mind of the Tsar, Vladimir Putin, as well as his fears, plans, and thirst for vengeance for what he sees as the humiliation of Russia. This is a story of Russian false flag operations across Europe and a story of nationalist conflicts. In the pages of Vicious Circle, history is alive.Author’s personal note: The Fury of the Tsar: Vicious Circle was published in softcover in 2021, based on the Hungarian original of 2018. It describes the covert actions Russia could take to divide the European Union and NATO, but does not describe the war against Ukraine. A coming Russian invasion of Ukraine, however, is mentioned several times in its pages; these were not edited out of the book. While Vicious Circle goes deep into Vladimir Putin’s mind and explains some of his actions as rational, it in no way condones the blatant and open Russian aggression against Ukraine. Whatever grievances President Putin may have had, whether real or imagined, nevertheless under his leadership Russia launched an inexcusable war of conquest against a neighbor. This book is a warning that without understanding geopolitics and history, and without healing the ethnic fault lines of Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Balkans, Europe will remain an easy target for aggression.“Terrorism spreads across Romania and Hungary: Two NATO allies! Who steps in? Vladimir Putin, master of geostrategic opportunity.” Victor Gaetan (American Spectator)“David Autere brings us again on a trip through Eastern European ethnonationalism, ringing a disquieting alarm bell on the future of Europe. But Book Two also gives the reader a peek into Russo-Chinese power plays.”Dario Quintavalle (Limes)

Flappy Investigates
Flappy returns in the fabulously fun follow-up to Flappy Entertains from bestselling author Santa Montefiore, and this time something is amiss in the village of Badley Compton...
Binoculars at the ready, Flappy Scott-Booth is set to investigate. Newcomers have moved in, a young couple from London, delightful no doubt but they do need to know their place. Who better to teach them the ways of this close-knit community than Flappy herself?
But Flappy has other distractions. An ardent admirer, a New Year's Ball to organize and manifold appearances to be kept up. How much time and effort it all takes! Add to the mix the sudden arrival of her son Jasper with his utterly charming persona and total lack of ambition and drive, accompanied by his pretentious wife and their two highly-strung children - and Flappy is on ultra-high alert.
Endlessly entertaining and gorgeously gossipy, Flappy Investigates is the perfect escape.

Conscious Communication
This is what this book brings you: You support climate protection, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because in our hectic, stressful world, we often do not treat each other carefully enough. This applies above all to the way we talk to each other: rashly we have quickly blocked out a piece of information or opinion, instead of thinking about the effect of what is said in advance. Yet mindful interaction with other people is the basic prerequisite for good understanding among ourselves and interpersonal relationships in general. Conscious communication is therefore the decisive factor for the success of a group or team. Emerging quarrels and disagreements can also be prevented or mediated in advance. This book shows what is important in this process. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form. Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content in German and English as desired. This concept is made possible by a particularly efficient, innovative digital process and Deep Learning, AI systems that use neural networks in translation. The publishing company donates at least 5 percent of its reveniew from book sales to charitable organizations involved in reforestation projects and climate protection - more detailed information on request. Publisher Simone Janson is also chairwoman of the board of the Berufebilder Yourweb Foundation, bestselling author and was one of the 20 most important German bloggers as well as a columnist for renowned media - more about her in Wikipedia.

Winger - Chapter One: Atlantic Years 1988-1993 (Limited Edition) 4LP
KDO: Winger je americká rocková skupina, která vznikla v New Yorku v roce 1987. Skupinu založil zpěvák a kytarista Kip Winger, který dříve hrál s Alice Cooperem, a kytarista Reb Beach. Své první album, nazvané jednoduše "Winger," vydali v roce 1988. Album "Winger" obsahovalo několik úspěšných singlů, včetně "Seventeen" a "Headed for a Heartbreak," a stalo se platinovým. Skupina byla často spojována s glam rockovou érou 80. let, ale jejich hudba měla také progresivní a melodické prvky. Další alba skupiny zahrnují "In the Heart of the Young" (1990), které obsahovalo hit "Miles Away," a "Pull" (1993). Po rozpadu skupiny v průběhu 90. let se Winger znovu spojili a vydali další alba, včetně "Karma" (2009) a "Better Days Comin'" (2014). Skupina nadále koncertuje a jejich živá vystoupení jsou stále oblíbená mezi fanoušky rockové hudby.

all about CHALETS
Exclusive living retreats set against the backdrop of majestic peaks, steep slopes and picturesque valleys
The chalet is a building style that enjoys lasting popularity all over the world. Dating back to the herdsman’s hut in the Alpine region, it became a longed-for destination and the most preferred holiday domicile in the 19th century with the emerging fascination with the Alps. Today, architects and designers are primarily inspired by the constantly redefined interplay of sublime nature, traditional architecture, regional building typologies, individual design, and modern formal language that pushes them to reach magnificent creative peaks.
The projects selected for this volume are diverse and remarkably multifaceted: From a traditional construction with a flat gable roof, wide roof overhang, and robust timber façade, to contemporary, thoroughly idiosyncratic interpretations with clear lines, creative choice of materials, and fine details. However, the artful staging of the imposing mountain world in the interior design plays a decisive role among all presented chalets.

The Sunbringer
War is coming, godkiller.
Gods are forbidden in the kingdom of Middren. Now they are stirring, whispering of war. Godkiller Kissen sacrificed herself to vanquish the fire god Hseth and save her friends, but gods cannot be destroyed so easily - and neither can godkillers.
Reeling from the loss of Kissen, young noble Inara and her little god of white lies, Skedi, seek answers to the true nature of their bond. The secrets they uncover could determine the outcome of the war.
Meanwhile, Elogast, no longer a loyal knight of King Arren, has been charged with destroying the man he once called friend. The king vowed to eradicate all gods, but has now entered into an unholy pact with the most dangerous of them all.
The kingdom is on the brink of destruction. What will they each sacrifice to save it?
