Nová pravidla
Kniha, která slaví úspěch v mnoha zemích po celém světě
„Prací strávíme v životě nejvíce času. A proto není správné, aby nás práce demotivovala a odlidšťovala,“ říká Laszlo Bock, šéf personalistiky ve firmě, která změnila svět informací. Toto je stěžejní myšlenka knihy Nová pravidla: Google – pohled zevnitř – přesvědčivého a překvapivě hravého manifestu, jenž předkládá mj. taková doporučení:
? odeberte manažerům moc nad zaměstnanci
? učte se od svých nejlepších zaměstnanců – a také od těch nejhorších
? zaměstnávejte pouze lidi, kteří jsou lepší než vy – bez ohledu na to, jak dlouho je budete muset hledat
? nebojte se nerovnosti mezd (je spravedlivější)
? nevěřte intuici – využívejte k předvídání a utváření své budoucnosti data
? buďte otevření, transparentní a přijímejte zpětnou vazbu
? jste-li spokojeni s mírou svobody, kterou jste dali svým zaměstnancům, je to ještě málo
Laszlo Bock řídí personalistiku společnosti Google. Během Bockova působení obdržel Google více než sto různých ocenění pro nejlepšího zaměstnavatele, např. se stal číslem 1 v žebříčku Best Company to Work For ve Spojených státech a v 16 dalších zemích, dostal se na první místo v anketě Top Diversity Employer, byl jmenován nejlepší společností pro ženy v technických oborech a získal nejvyšší ocenění od lidskoprávní organizace Human Rights Campaign.

Monet - The Triumph of Impressionism
No other artist, apart from J. M. W. Turner, tried as hard as Claude Monet (1840-1926) to capture light itself on canvas. Of all the Impressionists, it was the man Cezanne called "only an eye, but my God what an eye!" who stayed true to the principle of absolute fidelity to the visual sensation, painting directly from the object.
It could be said that Monet reinvented the possibilities of color. Whether it was through his early interest in Japanese prints, his time as a conscript in the dazzling light of Algeria, or his personal acquaintance with the major painters of the late 19th century, the work Monet produced throughout his long life would change forever the way we perceive both the natural world and its attendant phenomena. The high point of his explorations was the late series of water lilies, painted in his own garden at Giverny, which, in their approach towards almost total formlessness, are really the origin of abstract art.
This biography does full justice to this most remarkable and profoundly influential artist, and offers numerous reproductions and archive photos alongside a detailed and insightful commentary.
Architecture Matters
Architecture matters. To our cities, to our planet, to our personal lives. How we design and what we build has an impact that usually lasts for generations. The more we understand the importance of architecture, and the thinking and decisions behind the buildings we create, the better world we will construct. Who better to guide readers into the rich and complex world of contemporary architecture than Aaron Betsky, former architect, author, curator and museum director, and today dean of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. Combining his early experiences working and meeting cutting-edge architects with his frequent role as jury member selecting the world's most prominent global architects to build icon for cities, Betsky possesses rare insight into the mechanisms, politics and personalities that play a role in how buildings in our societies and urban centres come to be. In some fifty themes and drawing from his own experiences and encounters with people and buildings around the world, he explores a broad spectrum of topics, from the meaning of domestic space to the spectacle of the urban realm.Accessible, instructive and hugely enjoyable, this book will open the eyes of anyone dreaming of becoming an architect, and bring a wry smile to anyone that already is.

And tonight, it is also a city that churns with life. Tonight, a young fae is trying to make his fortune one drug deal at a time; a goblin princess is searching for a path between her own dreams and others' expectations; her bodyguard is deciding who to kill first; an artist is hunting for his own voice; an old soldier is starting a new revolution; a young rebel is finding fresh ways to fight; and an old goblin is dreaming of reclaiming her power over them all. Tonight, all their stories are twisting together, wrapped up around a single bag of Dust-the only drug that can still fuel fae magic-and its fate and theirs will change the Iron City forever.

Tankový prapor
Román odehrávající se v komunistické armádě padesátých let 20. století napsal autor v roce 1954 a poprvé ho vydal v roce 1971 jako první publikaci torontského exilového nakladatelství Sixty-Eight Publishers, kde se stal čtenářsky nejúspěšnější knihou, podobně jako když vyšel v milionovém nákladu poprvé oficiálně v Čechách v roce 1990. Absurditu, zuřivost i neschopnost totalitního vojančení, jehož jediným smyslem bylo ponížit, převychovat nebo zničit normální lidské životy, ukazuje Josef Škvorecký jako grotesku, vyvolávající salvy smíchu nápaditým využíváním obecné češtiny a vojenského slangu.

Infill
Infill -- Urban land is an increasingly precious commodity, particularly in the centers of major cities. Every spare corner of land is in demand, however small, inaccessible, or awkwardly shaped. For architects the challenge is to optimize these sites while simultaneously negotiating the web of planning regulations to create homes suited to today's lifestyles.
Infill profiles 39 innovative and imaginative urban dwellings around the world that fill in gaps left by demolition, or that have been squeezed into plots previously considered unsuitable for development. Each case study is illustrated with photographs, drawings, and specially drawn site plans, all accompanied by authoritative commentary. The authors focus particularly on the challenges that each architect faced and how they were overcome.
