Mercury a já
Jedinečný a dojímavý príbeh vzťahu Freddieho Mercuryho a jeho dlhoročného priateľa Jima Huttona, ktorí čitatelia poznajú z oscarového filmu Bohemian Rhapsody. Ich vzťah sa začal na prelome rokov 1984 a 1985. Keď sa spolu prvýkrát vyspali, Hutton vôbec netušil, kto Mercury je, a keď sa mu hviezdny spevák predstavil, jeho meno mu nič nehovorilo. Hutton pracoval ako holič v hoteli Savoy ešte dva roky po tom, čo sa k Mercurymu nasťahoval a začal mu robiť záhradníka. V tom čase mal ešte stále vlastný podnájom a nikdy si celkom nezvykol na umelcov život na vysokej nohe. Do Mercuryho smrti v roku 1991 mal k nemu bližšie ako ktokoľvek iný a poznal všetkých jeho najbližších priateľov: medzi inými aj členov kapely Queen, Eltona Johna, Davida Bowieho a Phila Collinsa. Nikto by nedokázal opísať posledné roky Mercuryho súkromného života presnejšie a úprimnejšie - so všetkými radosťami a strasťami - ako Jim Hutton.

A Murder of Quality
THE SECOND GEORGE SMILEY NOVELStella Rode has twice disturbed the ancient cloisters of Carne School: firstly by being the wrong sort, with her doyleys and china ducks, and secondly by being murdered. George Smiley is asked by an old Service friend to investigate. Smiley knows that Stella feared her husband would murder her, but as he probes further beneath Carne's respectable veneer, he uncovers far more than a simple crime of passion.
In his second novel, le Carre moves outside the world of espionage to reveal the secrets at the heart of another particularly English institution. The result is a pitch-perfect murder mystery, with Smiley as master detective. 'Beautifully intelligent, satiric and witty' Daily Telegraph

Craft of Research: Fourth Edition
With more than three-quarters of a million copies sold since its first publication, The Craft of Research has helped generations of researchers at every level—from first-year undergraduates to advanced graduate students to research reporters in business and government—learn how to conduct effective and meaningful research. Conceived by seasoned researchers and educators Wayne C. Booth, Gregory G. Colomb, and Joseph M. Williams, this fundamental work explains how to find and evaluate sources, anticipate and respond to reader reservations, and integrate these pieces into an argument that stands up to reader critique.
The fourth edition has been thoroughly but respectfully revised by Joseph Bizup and William T. FitzGerald. It retains the original five-part structure, as well as the sound advice of earlier editions, but reflects the way research and writing are taught and practiced today. Its chapters on finding and engaging sources now incorporate recent developments in library and Internet research, emphasizing new techniques made possible by online databases and search engines. Bizup and FitzGerald provide fresh examples and standardized terminology to clarify concepts like argument, warrant, and problem.
Following the same guiding principle as earlier editions—that the skills of doing and reporting research are not just for elite students but for everyone—this new edition retains the accessible voice and direct approach that have made The Craft of Research a leader in the field of research reference. With updated examples and information on evaluation and using contemporary sources, this beloved classic is ready for the next generation of researchers.

Francis Bacon or the Measure of Excess
An intimate insight into the life and work of Francis Bacon, written by Yves Peyre, a close friend of the artist. This comprehensive monograph details Bacon's artistic journey, from his early design work in the 1920s to his disturbing, emotive triptychs of the 1980s.
Tormented, twisted, and jarringly dissonant, Bacon's divided vision of the world swung between civilisation and barbarism, beauty and ugliness, life and death. His study of classical culture and western mythology led him to depict darkly sublime worlds of violence and madness that intrigue as much as they evoke visceral disgust.
This monograph begins with a biography, relating the life of Francis Bacon, his stories and inspirations; before delving into a sharp analysis of his work. Peyre's personal connection with Bacon makes Francis Bacon a detailed and touching story, inviting the reader on a philosophical, poetic and artistic stroll through the artist's mind.
