Mária Terézia - 2.vydanie
Matka šestnástich detí, milujúca manželka, láskavá matka národa, šikovná politička a mierumilovná vládkyňa - to je obraz Márie Terézie, ako ju plný obdivu voči tejto nezvyčajnej žene opisuje Heinz Rieder. Mladučká, nič netušiaca a na vládu nepripravená nastupuje Mária Terézia 20. októbra 1740 na trón. Nikto neverí, že táto živá, zápalistá dievčina zvládne štátnické záležitosti znútra i zvonku ohrozovaného Rakúska. No Mária Terézia sa chopí tejto úlohy a vďaka neoblomnej silnej vôli a šarmu sa jej podarí neuveriteľné: zreformuje starý administratívny, vojenský a vzdelávací systém v ríši a pomocou šikovnej diplomacie a sobášnej politiky stabilizuje pozíciu svojej krajiny na mape Európy. Dokonca aj jej veľký protivník, pruský kráľ Fridrich Veľký jej vzdáva po smrti nezvyčajný hold: `Urobila svojmu trónu a pohlaviu veľkú česť.`

Sing
America's most famous pop star flees the spotlight to recover from her latest break-up in Maine - only to fall for a local boy and be faced with an impossible choice at the end of the summer: her new guy, or her music. Multiplatinum pop icon Lily Ross's biggest hits and biggest heartbreaks (because they are one and the same): 1. AGONY. (That feeling when her ex ripped her heart out of her chest and she never saw it coming.) 2. GHOSTS. (Because even famous people are ghosted by guys sometimes. And it sucks just as much.) 3. ONCE BITTEN. (As in: twice shy. Also, she's never dating an actor or a musician ever again.) But this summer's going to be different. After getting her heart shattered, Lily is taking herself out of the spotlight and heading to a small island in middle-of-nowhere Maine with her closest friends. She has three months to focus on herself, her music, her new album. Anything but guys. That is...until Lily meets sweet, down-to-earth local Noel Bradley, who is so different from anyone she's ever dated. Suddenly, Lily's "summer of me" takes an unexpected turn, and she finds herself falling deeper and harder than ever before. But Noel isn't interested in the limelight. She loves Noel-but she loves her fans, too. And come August, she may be forced to choose.

Figures & Faces - The Art of Jewelry
This is the third book in a series devoted to the splendid jewelry collection of the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Following on from Flora and Fauna, the theme this time is the human figure, perhaps the most intimate and involving of subjects. Jewelry has always been a vehicle for the deepest of human emotions: remembrance, faith, devotion, love, belonging and mourning.
The museum's collection begins in the Byzantine era and ranges through the medieval and Renaissance periods and beyond, with mythological figures and biblical scenes represented on pendants and rings. In the 19th century, Rene Lalique, Alphonse Fouquet and the Maison Vever produced brooches and necklaces that were the very embodiment of elegant sophistication and technical brilliance, while in the 20th century, artists such as Pablo Picasso and Alberto Giacometti joined jewelers like Jean Lurcat, Line Vautrin and Claude Lalanne in creating works that interpret the body in a deeply personal way.
Wonderfully photographed by Jean-Marie del Moral, Figures is packed with striking and witty works of art that will charm all lovers of jewelry.

Nicole de Vesian - Gardens
De Vésian created gardens by studying the region, its plants, its light and its agricultural traditions
After a career as a designer working for such great design houses as Hermes, Nicole de Vésian (1916-96) moved to Provence and created her first garden. On the narrow terraces around her home, de Vésian designed her own masterpiece in a minimal but far from austere style, composed mainly of heathland plants (varieties of thyme, lavender, rosemary, rockrose and box tree), in which she pruned all her plants to cushion shapes of varying yet superbly proportioned sizes, resulting in a breathtaking scene. Her gardens soon inspired gardeners and landscapers around the world. Today, few gardens have been imitated as readily as those of de Vésian. Her most notable garden is La Louve, which is her garden in Bonnieux, a French hilltop village in the Luberon area of Provence.
Nicole de Vésian: Gardens is an up-to-date edition of de Vésian's bestselling 2011 monograph, with a new postface describing de Vésian's influence on the art of gardening. In general, the publication acts as a tribute to de Vésian and her life. Her close friend, acclaimed garden historian Louisa Jones (The Garden Visitor's Companion), shares her own thoughts on the work of this atypical creator, accompanied by accounts from her friends and pupils: Christian Lacroix, the nursery owner Jean-Marie Rey, the landscape artists Arnaud Maurieres, Éric Ossart and Marc Nucera, as well as the garden historians Roy Strong and John Brookes. As Louisa Jones writes, de Vésian "has a feeling for space like musicians have a feeling for music."

Amíg a lányod voltam
Janie mindent az anyjától örökölt. Szépséget. Pénzt. Gyilkos vágyat.
Janie Jenkins szexi, okos és nemrég szabadult a sittről. Évekkel ezelőtt a lányt az évtized perében elítélték anyja meggyilkolásáért. Ártatlanul ült, vagy mégsem? Az anyja gyönyörű volt, gazdag és elviselhetetlen. Úgy játszott a férfiakkal, ahogy macska az egérrel. Valaki brutálisan végzett vele, és Janie nevét írta fel a holttest mellé. Szabadulása után a lány megfogadja, megtalálja anyja valódi gyilkosát...
A nyomok egy Dakota állambeli porfészekbe vezetnek, ahol mindennek és mindenkinek története van. Egy kifakult fotó, egy elhagyott ház, egy gyűrött napló - mindösszesen ennyi marad a lányra az anyai örökségből, ám ez is éppen elég ahhoz, hogy mindent összezavarjon.
Janie egy dologban biztos: gyűlölte az anyját. De hogy megölte volna?
Az álmos kisváros sötét titkokat őriz, és a médiával, rendőrséggel és egy nem akármilyen rosszakaróval a nyomában Janie kénytelen időben leleplezni magát, ha nem akarja újra ő elvinni a balhét...
Elizabeth Little 24 országban megjelenő sikerkönyve az év legmeglepőbb krimije, Janie Jenkins pedig az utóbbi idők legizgalmasabb főhősnője.

Setting Free The Kites
From the author of the “lyrical and compelling” (USA Today) novel A Good American comes a powerful story of two friends and the unintended consequences of friendship, loss, and hope.
For Robert Carter, life in his coastal Maine hometown is comfortably predictable. But in 1976, on his first day of eighth grade, he meets Nathan Tilly, who changes everything. Nathan is confident, fearless, impetuous—and fascinated by kites and flying. Robert and Nathan’s budding friendship is forged in the crucible of two family tragedies, and as the boys struggle to come to terms with loss, they take summer jobs at the local rundown amusement park. It’s there that Nathan’s boundless capacity for optimism threatens to overwhelm them both, and where they learn some harsh truths about family, desire, and revenge.
Unforgettable and heart-breaking, Setting Free the Kites is a poignant and moving exploration of the pain, joy, and glories of young friendship.

Breakout Nations
The argument of "Breakout Nations" is that the astonishingly rapid growth over the last decade of the world's celebrated emerging markets is coming to an end. The era of easy money and easy growth is over. China, in particular, will soon slow, but its place will not necessarily be taken by Brazil, Russia or India, all of which Ruchir Sharma shows how weaknesses and difficulties often overlooked in the inflated expectations and emerging markets mania of the past decade. To identify the economic stars of the future, he says, we should abandon the habit of simply extrapolating from general global trends and look at emerging markets individually. The new 'breakout nations' will probably spring from the margins - even from the shadows. Sharma identifies which they are most likely to be, and why. Sharma, head of one of the world's leading emerging market funds, has spent two decades travelling the globe to find out what is happening on the ground in developing countries. With this first-hand knowledge, he takes his readers on a tour of two dozen of the world's most interesting economies, introducing the critical players and describing and analyzing the forces - many unique to each nation - which will make the successes and flops of the future. The book is full of surprises: why the current mania for oil echoes the dotcom mania of 2000; how an industrial revolution in Asia is redefining what manufacturing can do for a modern economy; how the coming shakeout in the big emerging markets could shift the spotlight back to the west, especially American technology and German manufacturing; why the next two trillion-dollar economies will be big Moslem democracies. It contains warnings about command economies (some work, but many fail too), shows that the EU is producing model economies as well as basket cases, and suggests what we can learn from the $24 price of cocktails in Rio. Even Vladimir Putin's dog makes an appearance.

Politikwissenschaftliche Passagen
Die Politikwissenschaft in Deutschland steht regelmäßig in der Kritik. Sie gilt als zu szientistisch, methodenverliebt, theorielastig und selbstreferentiell. Was wisse die Politikwissenschaft eigentlich noch über Politik zu sagen und wie nimmt sie ihre öffentliche Rolle wahr? Das ist die eine Seite. Auf der anderen Seite steht ein fest an den Universitäten verankertes Fach, das sich selbstbewusst präsentiert und internationales Renommee genießt.
Angesichts einer solch spannungsreichen Ausgangslage sucht dieser Band einen Beitrag zur Standortbestimmung der deutschen Politikwissenschaft zu leisten. Er nimmt uns auf ausgewählte Streifzüge zur Erkundung eines Faches mit. Teils erfassen und reflektieren die Autorinnen und Autoren stärker den Forschungsstand, teils entwickeln sie in essayistischer Manier Thesen und fordern zu Widerspruch heraus, teils münzen sie eigene Erfahrungen in lebhafte Impressionen um. Mit Beiträgen von:
Uwe Backes, Klaus von Beyme, Frank Decker, Jürgen W. Falter, Alexander Gallus, Florian Grotz, Eckhard Jesse, Peter Graf Kielmansegg, Sebastian Liebold, Manfred G. Schmidt, Roland Sturm, Ellen Thümmler, Nikolaus Werz und Barbara Zehnpfennig.

What Great Paintings Say - Italian Renaissance
Classics Under the Magnifying Glass
Italy's most precious painting treasures dissected
Surreptitious messages, concealed myths, and historical truths lie hidden in the great works of the Italian Renaissance, behind heavy gold leaf and religious symbology. Although often obscured by the archaic language of historical painting, careful analysis and expert interpretation bring these images to life. Discover masterpieces of the most beloved creative epoch in this fascinating art historical inquiry.
Images of war, romance, birth, and knowledge, works of the Italian Renaissance have much to say, when given a voice. Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen do just that--pulling apart each of the 12 featured paintings with all the talent of true detectives to offer an illuminating portal to the past.
From Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam to Ucello's The Battle of San Romano, from Antonello da Messina's St. Jerome in His Study to Pinturicchio's Penelope with the Suitors, the artworks under investigation are a diverse representation of the period's innovation and brilliance, sourced directly from some of the most impressive collections in the world, including the Uffizi, Prado, and National Gallery London.
