Moje túžby, tvoje túžby
Každý z nás má emocionálne potreby. A v manželstve to platí rovnako. Manželstvo funguje dobre len vtedy, keď si manželia uvedomujú potreby svojho partnera, a keď sa ich naučia napĺňať. Dr. Harley počas svojej mnohoročnej praxe identifikoval desať najdôležitejších potrieb mužov a žien: náklonnosť, rozhovor, čestnosť a otvorenosť, finančné zabezpečenie, oddanosť rodine, sexuálne uspokojenie, spoločnosť vo voľnom čase, atraktívnosť, domáce zázemie, obdiv a vysvetľuje, ako tieto potreby naplniť.
Rozdielnosť priorít v hodnotení týchto emocionálnych potrieb je dôvodom, prečo je pre mužov a ženy také ťažké navzájom sa do seba vcítiť.
A tak manželky často zahŕňajú svojich manželov prejavmi citov, pretože ich samy oceňujú a túžia po nich. Manželia podobným spôsobom nadbiehajú svojim manželkám so sexuálnymi návrhmi, pretože potreba sexu je pre nich jednou z najpálčivejších. Obaja sú zmätení, ak ten druhý odpovedá v lepšom prípade s miernym nadšením, v horšom prípade mu úsilie partnera prekáža a odpovedá podráždene alebo chladne.
A... ak ktorákoľvek z piatich základných emocionálnych potrieb partnera nie je uspokojená, stáva sa zraniteľným a náchylnejším podľahnúť pokušeniu mimomanželského milostného pomeru.
Dr. Willard F. Harley, Jr. je klinický psychológ a manželský poradca vo White Bear Lake v Minnesote. Je ženatý, má dve dospelé deti a štyri vnúčatá. Napísal niekoľko kníh, medzi ktoré patria Love Busters, Five Steps to Romantic Love, a Give and Take.
Bartusz
Szabó Lilla Bartusz Györgyről írt könyve hiánypótló vállalkozás. Bemutat egy határon túli életművet a magyar olvasóknak, szakembereknek, kutatóknak, amely eddig csak elemeiben volt ismert hazánkban. Bartusz munkásságán keresztül Szlovákia és Magyarország soha nem összevetett művészettörténeti kapcsolatait is megismerhetjük. A művész magyarországi jelenléte szemlélteti, hogyan működtek a személyes barátságok két ország között a rendszerváltás előtti évtizedekben. Szintén fontos téma a kulturális politikához való viszony a szomszédos országokban, a megélhetés és alkotás kérdése az állami tűrő, támogató vagy tiltó rendszerben. Bartusz akciói és művei egyszerre voltak jelen a hazai és a szlovák kiállításokon, egyedi alkotói elképzelései és műveinek nyelvezete önálló világot teremtettek. Szabó Lilla egy másik, nálunk kevéssé ismert témát is tárgyal: Kassa hatvanas-hetvenes évekbeli életét, ami meghatározta azokat a körülményeket, amelyek közt Bartusz alkothatott és kiteljesedhetett. A kötetben részletes, elemző műleírásokat kap az olvasó, ami segít értelmezni az életmű szakaszait. A kiadvány hozzájárul nemcsak a művész, hanem a határon túl alkotó magyar ajkú művészek munkásságának megértéséhez is a neoavantgárd korában.

World According to Bob
Since Bob had appeared, I'd made huge strides in my life. For more than a decade I'd been a homeless drug addict. I'd been lost to the world and forgotten what was important in life. Now I'd got myself back on my two feet, but as I put the past behind me, I was still stepping unsteadily into the future. I still needed help in the right direction. Bob was always there to offer guidance and friendship.' James and his street cat Bob have been on a remarkable journey together. In the years since their story ended in the bestselling A STREET CAT NAMED BOB James, with Bob's help, has begun to find his way back to the real world. Almost every day, Bob provides moments of intelligence, bravery and humour, at the same time opening his human friend's eyes to important truths about friendship, loyalty, trust - and the meaning of happiness. In the continuing tale of their life together James shows the many ways in which Bob has been his protector and guardian angel through times of illness, hardship, even life-threatening danger. As they high five together for their crowds of admirers, James knows that the tricks he's taught Bob are nothing compared to the lessons he's learnt from his street-wise cat.

A Gift To Remember
Darcy Archer works in a small bookstore on Manhattan's Upper West Side. A dreamer who secretly wishes for true love similar to that in her beloved novels, Darcy refuses to settle for anything less than being swept off her feet by the perfect man. One day, when cycling to work, Darcy accidentally crashes into a sharply dressed man walking his dog. He is knocked unconscious and rushed to the hospital, but his dog gets left behind. Wracked with guilt over the accident, Darcy resolves to care for the dog and reunite him with his owner. But the dog is not the only thing that's been left behind and when she finds a small beautifully wrapped package - suspiciously shaped like a book - she becomes curious. She decides to try and figure out all she can about this man, and make the delivery herself. Darcy gradually becomes drawn into his life; one that she soon discovers is filled with books, travel, adventure and all the wonderful things she's ever dreamt about. It doesn't take long before Darcy builds up a picture of this man's lovely life, and feeling an immediate kinship towards him, tries to make things right. It might be a challenge but doesn't she owe it to him to try? But does fantasy match reality? And what happens when he finally wakes up?

London A to Z Gift Book
First published in 1953, the year that saw thousands descend on London to watch the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, London A to Z is a lexicon of the city's curiosities, from the Achilles statue in Hyde Park 'erected by the women of England to honour (if not to resemble) the Duke of Wellington', via greyhound racing, lost property offices and umbrellas, to zebra crossings (relative newcomers to London in 1953). Adorned throughout with Edward Bawden's beautiful and distinctive illustrations, this charmingly idiosyncratic guide brings to life with a dry humour the London and Londoners of the day. More than sixty years have passed since it was first published and while many sights are now lost to time, you may be surprised to find how this vintage guide continues to capture London in all its uniqueness. The new introduction places the original publication in context, drawing the reader into 1950s London via a tour of the book's most curious, nostalgic and whimsical entries.
