The LGBTQ + History Book
Discover the rich and complex history of LGBTQ+ people around the world - their struggles, triumphs, and cultural contributions.
Exploring and explaining the most important ideas and events in LGBTQ+ history and culture, this book showcases the breadth of the LGBTQ+ experience. This diverse, global account explores the most important moments, movements, and phenomena, from the first known lesbian love poetry of Sappho to Kinsey's modern sexuality studies, and features biographies of key figures from Anne Lister to Audre Lorde.
Dive deep into the pages of The LGBTQ + History book to discover:
- Thought-provoking graphics and flow-charts demystify the central concepts behind key moments in LGBTQ+ history, from eromenos and erastes in the Ancient World to political lesbianism.
- Features insightful quotes from leading historians, philosophers, cultural commentators, economists, anthropologists, sociologists, activists, and politicians.
- Includes biography boxes and directory entries on the lives of important but lesser-known individuals, alongside well-known names including Sappho, Oscar Wilde, Anne Lister, Harvey Milk, and Marsha P. Johnson.
- Global in scope with a localizable directory.
The LGBTQ+ History Book celebrates the victories and untold triumphs of LGBTQ+ people throughout history, such as the Stonewall Riots and first gender affirmation surgeries, as well as commemorating moments of tragedy and persecution, from the Renaissance Italian "Night Police" to the 20th century "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy. The book also includes major cultural cornerstones - the secret language of polari, Black and Latine ballroom culture, and the many flags of the community - and the history of LGBTQ+ spaces, from 18th-century "molly houses" to modern "gaybourhoods".
The LGBTQ+ History Book celebrates the long, proud - and often hidden - history of LGBTQ+ people, cultures, and places from around the world.
The Sound of Mountains
4:30 in the morning, trekking in the open wilderness of the Alps, 2,900 meters above sea level, storm clouds disappearing behind the nearest mountain, the sun rising--these are the moments when Guerel Sahin captures his best outdoor photographs.
It is perhaps precisely because they are often shot in extreme situations that Sahin's breathtaking mountain panoramas, photographs of mountain lakes, and rugged landscapes are such a social media hit. Thousands follow him on Instagram et al., while a wide audience also knows him as the face of Jack Wolfskin. Now, for the first time, he gathers his most awe-inspiring photographs in one volume, sharing insights into his life and work.
Where does this longing for untouched, authentic nature come from? How does it feel to reach a mountain summit by sunrise? What if, contrary to expectations, an entire vista is obscured by clouds and photography becomes impossible? In images and words, the acclaimed star photographer shares his own emotional world in a paradigm of "Generation Instagram."
Sahin's book is for those whom the next mountain peak and open nature cannot be close enough--for all hikers, climbers, and outdoor junkies.

Sauronova nevěsta
Uvítali byste možnost seznámit se s reáliemi Hobita, Pána prstenů či Silmarillionu stravitelným způsobem? Máte chuť vrátit se do oblíbeného světa a prožít známý příběh ještě jednou, i když trochu jinak? Jste zvědaví, co by s příběhem udělalo posílení romantické linie? Tak tohle všechno vám nabídne tato první knižně vydaná fantiction. Přináší gendrově pojatou alternativu Pána prstenů, která se ale vymkla mezím jednoho žánru a žije svým vlastním životem jako svébytný nový příběh. S hlavními hrdiny – osiřelou dívkou Frodinou a hraničářem Aragornem – opět prožijete cestu s Prstenem do Mordoru, ale podíváte se také, jak se dařilo Sjednocenému království po porážce Saurona, a dočkáte se i odhalení pravdy o hobitech. Oproti Tolkienově předloze dostanou postavy více prostoru ukázat, že jsou z masa a kostí, že mají své světlé i temné stránky a i přes své chyby dokážou překvapit. Lehký a mírně sebeironizující styl je zárukou, že knihu přečtete jedním dechem.

Bitter Orange
Frances Jellico is dying. A man who calls himself the vicar visits, hoping to extract a deathbed confession. He wants to know what really happened that fateful summer of 1969, when Frances - tasked with surveying a dilapidated country house - first set eyes on the glamorous bohemian couple, Cara and Peter. She recalls the relationship they forged through sweltering days, lavish dinners and elaborate lies, and the Judas hole through which she would spy on the couple.
Were the signs there right from the beginning?
Or was it impossible to avoid the crime that split their lives open like rotten fruit?

Love Japan
Discover comforting homestyle Japanese American cuisine with 100 unique, simple, and tasty recipes from the owners of the innovative Brooklyn restaurant Shalom Japan
A FOOD NETWORK BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR
Steaming sukiyaki. Pillowy, soft shokupan. Springy ramen noodles. These famed Japanese dishes, as well as modern interpretations and evolutions, are all part of Love Japan, a collection of beloved family recipes from the married owners of Brooklyn’s Shalom Japan.
Like many of us, chefs Sawako Okochi and Aaron Israel lead busy lives and often find themselves short on time in the kitchen. Their secret to getting nourishing, delicious food on the table for their family? The Japanese-inspired dishes that Sawako grew up eating. While not rigid in tradition, these recipes are all rooted in the Japanese flavors and techniques taught to Sawako by her mother, with influences from Aaron’s Jewish heritage as well as the menu at Shalom Japan.
Through years of practice in their own home and in their Brooklyn restaurant, Sawako and Aaron have distilled these recipes for maximum flavor and minimum fuss, including Japanese staples and inventive, delicious fusions like:
• Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken)
• Smashed Cucumber and Wakame Salad
• Roasted Cauliflower with Miso and Panko Butter
• Hiroshima-Style Okonomiyaki with Ramen Noodles
• Home-Style Matzoh Ball Ramen
• Omurice (Omelet Fried Rice)
• Slice-and-Bake Matcha Cookies
Through Love Japan's user-friendly recipes and gorgeous photography, Sawako and Aaron demonstrate that Japanese cooking can be everyday cooking—even (or especially) if you’re short on time, space, or energy. These satisfying dishes will open up a world of possibilities in your cooking routine.
Gunnar Asplund
A contemporary of Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier, Asplund pursued a unique architecture that displayed a blend of classical tradition, vernacular architecture and Modernism. Above all, he achieved a sensitive understanding of the relationship between architecture and its surrounding landscape, and it is such contributions that have made him recognized as Sweden's leading architect of the twentieth century. His abilities are amply demonstrated in masterpieces like the Woodland Cemetery. In 1915, Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz won the competition to plan a new cemetery for Stockholm. Their romantic plan, in which a symbolically straight, narrow pathway abruptly curves blindly away into the forest, and with open fields capped by burial-mound-like hillocks, earned both of them further commissions for buildings within the cemetery. Asplund's "Woodland Chapel" of 1920 is tucked into the forest, and uses classical elements such as Doric columns, but sparingly and in unusual ways, while manipulating scale in ways that further the spiritual and contemplative nature of the building. The Crematorium and Monument Hall of 1935 are dignified and powerful, unornamented but not austere, to offer comfort to those who use them. "The Gothenburg Law Courts", another critical work which was finally completed in 1937, shows how Asplund relates the architecture of Modernism to a historical plan and facade. Buildings such as the architect's own summer house at Stennas and the crematoria at Kviberg and Skovde, dating from the later part of his life when he had begun to embrace Modernism, still show traditional classical and vernacular influences, and are evidence that not all forms of Modernism constituted a fresh start. This will be a comprehensive monograph on Asplund, and will include extensive new colour photography, as well as many original drawings. It was produced in collaboration with the archives of the Swedish Architectural Museum in Stockholm.

American Music
It looks like a gorgeous nostalgia trip to judge by the cover image alone. The photo is of an old school record player that lies unplugged, a white label test-pressing waiting on the turntable, while a band of paper wrapped around the cover announces the title in ye olde woodblock-looking type, American Music. A reading of the small type on the back cover reveals the image to be the very record and turntable left in Elvis Presley’s bedroom the day he died, and the mind reels, thinking about whether the King listened to this record on that day or not, and who are the Stamps, anyway? An excellent selection of musician portraits interspersed with crumbly wooden jook joints and wide open fields in the South, American Music covers a wide gamut of jazz, blues, punk, country, hip-hop, rock and roll, folk and gospel musicians. And while most of the pictures were shot between 1999 and 2002, some go back to the early 1970s, when Leibovitz first became Rolling Stone magazine's chief photographer. Some of the artists are very well-known (Michael Stipe, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan) and some of them are not (Jessie Mae Hemphill, Other Turner, Carlos Coy). Leibovitz really has a way of relaxing her performers, and this is a great part of her gift. Even when the pictures are so posed as to be ridiculous (like, what's Michael Stipe doing on that bedbug-ridden mattress—-the guy's a billionaire?), she catches her subjects at their most "real." They are lost in their music, or just doing some "real person" thing (look, there is Beck in his car—does Beck really drive his own car?). The presentation may be a little hokey, but this book is sure to please most any music fan. --Mike McGonigal

Dětská přednemocniční a urgentní péče
Dětská urgentní a přednemocniční péče je v poslední době rychle se rozvíjející obor. Se stoupajícími nároky na znalosti a dovednosti pracovníků přednemocniční péče, dětských urgentních příjmů a traumacenter vyvstala potřeba poskytnout jim přiměřeně obsáhlou a dostatečně přehlednou učebnici. Proto byla na podzim 2017 vydána Dětská přednemocniční a urgentní péče autorů Mixa, Heinige, Vobruba a kol. Kniha byla neobyčejně dobře přijata lékařskou i nelékařskou zdravotnickou veřejností, studenty i řadou dalších pracovníků, v jejichž povolání hrozí setkání s nemocnými či poraněnými dětmi.
Kniha se rychle stala vyhledávanou pomůckou. V současné době ale již vyžaduje zásadní přepravování.
Druhé, doplněné a rozšířené vydání je opět koncipováno jako monografie sestávající z obecné části, ve které jsou popsány základní principy fungování přednemocniční péče a dále základní údaje z dětské fyziologie a farmakologie. Speciální část shromažďuje údaje o konkrétních urgentních stavech jak interní, tak chirurgické povahy, které přicházejí v úvahu v dětském věku.
Proti prvnímu vydání je většina kapitol aktualizována podle nejnovějších vědeckých poznatků i podle připomínek odborné veřejnosti a recenzentů. Byly přidány mimo jiné kapitoly pojednávající o urgentních stavech v dětské gynekologii nebo kardiologii a kapitola zabývající se problematikou hromadných neštěstí. Závěr knihy byl opět ponechán přehledům, tabulkám a rozsáhlé kapitole o kardiopulmonální resuscitaci. Formát knihy byl změněn z malého kapesního na obvyklý formát monografie. Předpokládáme větší přehlednost a snadnější práci s touto nyní již poměrně rozsáhlou publikací.
Cílovou skupinou čtenářů jsou pediatři praktičtí i kliničtí, pracovníci urgentních příjmů lékaři i nelékaři, anesteziologové a i dětští intenzivisté, studenti lékařských i nelékařských zdravotnických škol, záchranáři lékaři i nelékaři.
