South African Art Now
Described by international curator Okwui Enwezor as "one of the most dynamic and vigorous spaces of artistic practice," contemporary South African art is an exciting, emerging scene that is attracting the attention of international museums, curators, and collectors today. South African Art Now documents, through in-depth essays and stunning full-color photographs, the remarkable work of nearly one hundred South African artists working in every medium from painting, sculpture, and video to cutting-edge performance art. This lush volume includes the impressive work of art world stars such as William Kentridge and Marlene Dumas, newly prominent artists such as Berni Searle, Robin Rhode, and Mustafa Maluka, and exciting newcomers still unknown outside their own country, but clearly marked for success. This book covers forty years of art history, from the dark years of apartheid, which saw the rise of resistance art, to the long-awaited achievement of freedom in 1994, to the present-day struggles for reconciliation and transformation. Through it all, the engaged, powerful work of these artists provided a mirror for society. Including a compelling foreword by Nobel Prize-winning writer Nadine Gordimer, South African Art Now is a must-have resource for collectors, curators, and anyone interested in the pulse of international contemporary art.

American Art and Architecture
An accessible, concise, and beautifully written survey of American art and architecture from 1600 to the present.This new survey provides a complete history of American art and architecture from its seventeenth-century colonial beginnings to the latest installation and video work. Structured chronologically, the book defines the characteristics of the different periods and highlights the consistent forms, techniques, and styles that mark the art and architecture as distinctively American. Michael J. Lewis charts the ways in which American artists and architects both adopted and diverged from earlier European models to create an original visual language of their own. He also shows how that language in turn came to influence and eventually dominate art and architecture around the world.Professor Lewis integrates discussions of both buildings and works of visual art, revealing the shared social and aesthetic concerns that underlie the two. Vernacular, religious, secular, and corporate architecture appears alongside paintings, sculpture, photography, and new-media art. All the major American artists and works from the seventeenth century to today are included, such as epic history paintings by Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley, sublime landscapes by Thomas Cole, Albert Bierstadt, and Frederick Church, society portraits by John Singer Sargent, groundbreaking abstract expressionist and pop art by Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, and Andy Warhol, and challenging sculptural, installation, and video works from more recent years by Robert Gober, Fred Wilson, and Matthew Barney.In architecture, dozens of different building types are illustrated and discussed, from the earliest colonial houses and churches to the most spectacular modernist and postmodernist houses, stations, museums, and iconic skyscrapers. 275 illustrations, 175 in color

The Six Dales Trail
The SixDalesTrail project is our most extensive development springing from the Walkers Are Welcome Otley project. The trail, which was launched in June 2010, starts in Otley, and winds across the entire length of the superb Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to end at Middleham, in Wensleydale. Along its 38 mile length, the trail crosses the 5 watersheds that separate the six dales that give the trail its name. From Wharfedale it crosses into Washburndale, then into Nidderdale, Colsterdale, Coverdale and finally Wensleydale. The terrain traversed by the trail varies from quiet steep pastures to high heather moorland, from stretches alongside fast-flowing rivers to stretches through the 18th century parkland surrounding the ruins of Jervaulx Abbey. The entire route is full of interest and opens up areas that have not been downtrodden and eroded by the passage of a million boots “Just completed the trail and wanted to say how much we enjoyed it particularly the last section from Leeds Pals to Middleham. The people who were responsible for the guide book deserve particular credit - the lay out was very sensible with the map on the facing page to the description, the maps and descriptions were clear and easy to follow. As a walk description book it is probably one of the best I have used”. Pete Wainwright Testimonial, Six Dales Trail - Among the 50 best walking holidays in the UKThough this two year-old trail passes through some of the most glorious countryside in the Yorkshire Dales it was designed specifically to open up some of the area's lesser-known countryside, and does so brilliantly. Running north for 38 miles from Otley, in Wharfedale, to Middleham, in Wensleydale, through four other dales, it passes ruined abbeys, quaint villages and wild open countryside. The INDEPENDENT,

The World of Natural Wine
Natural wine has nothing to hide. Made from grapes alone - organically farmed, then harvested, fermented, aged, and bottled without additives - it's wine that seeks to express, in every sip, its traditional and crucial link to nature. The World of Natural Wine is the book wine lovers need to navigate this movement - because it's about so much more than labels and vintages. Meet the obsessive, often outspoken, winemakers; learn about the regions of France where natural wine culture first appeared and continues to flourish today; and explore natural wine in Spain, Italy, Georgia, and beyond. And just as important: find out what must be "unlearned" to discover the eye-opening pleasures of drinking naturally.

The Weight of Loss
A spine-tingling debut about grief and obsession, with a shocking twist of an ending.
Marianne is still reeling from the death of her sister when she starts to exhibit some strange physical symptoms. Each day, it seems, her body betrays her a little bit more, and no one can explain to her what is going on.
Then a doctor offers her the hope of recovery - a stay in Nede, an experimental health retreat deep in the Welsh countryside. Surrounded by high walls and cut off from the outside world, it sounds like exactly what Marianne needs.
Desperate to get her life back on track, she leaves everything behind - her stressful job, her unsatisfactory relationship, her troubled family - hopeful that she finally has a chance to heal. Yet all is not as it seems at Nede. Yes, the surroundings are idyllic. Yes, the other residents seem happy. But something doesn't feel right.
Marianne begins to lose control as she obsessively revisits the days and weeks leading up to her sister's death. But now she must confront a more immediate threat: a dark experiment that appears to be taking over her mind, her body and her precious memories.

The Aristocracy of Talent
'This unique and fascinating history explains why the blame now being piled upon meritocracy for many social ills is misplaced-and that assigning responsibilities to the people best able to discharge them really is better than the time-honoured customs of corruption, patronage, nepotism and hereditary castes' Steven Pinker
Meritocracy: the idea that people should be advanced according to their talents rather than their status at birth. For much of history this was a revolutionary thought, but by the end of the twentieth century it had become the world's ruling ideology. How did this happen, and why is meritocracy now under attack from both right and left?
Adrian Wooldridge traces the history of meritocracy forged by the politicians and officials who introduced the revolutionary principle of open competition, the psychologists who devised methods for measuring natural mental abilities and the educationalists who built ladders of educational opportunity. He looks outside western cultures and shows what transformative effects it has had everywhere it has been adopted, especially once women were brought into the meritocractic system.
Wooldridge also shows how meritocracy has now become corrupted and argues that the recent stalling of social mobility is the result of failure to complete the meritocratic revolution. Rather than abandoning meritocracy, he says, we should call for its renewal.

Lacná kniha Kinsey a já
Každá z devíti povídek, které knihu otevírají, je klenotem detektivní fikce. Za tři desetiletí, před nimiž se Kinsey zrodila, se toho odehrálo hodně, proto bychom mohli snadno zapomenout, že se hrdinka stala součástí převratné vlny ve vývoji detektivního románu, vlny, kde ženy přestaly být pouze oddanými parťačkami drsných detektivů a postavily se na vlastní nohy, začaly vyslovovat vlastní pronikavé postřehy a mít vlastní vyhraněné názory. A právě tato výmluvnost, ostrovtip a neuctivé poznámky byly důvodem, proč si již s první knihou – A… jako alibi – čtenáři Kinsey tak zamilovali. Dokazuje to, že byla od samého začátku silnou postavou. Třináct povídek z druhé části souboru napsala autorka během deseti let po matčině smrti. Vystupuje v nich postava Kit Blueové, což je jakési mladší alter ego samotné Sue. Jsou to temné příběhy s jasně patrným spodním proudem zármutku a tiché bolesti. Rodina Graftonové byla zdrcena, jak to ostatně v těchto situacích bývá, vyprávění však s moudrostí a citem popisuje cestu od prvotního vzteku přes smíření a odpuštění ke konečnému nalezení bezbřehé lásky. Emocionální náboj je velmi silný. Sue se v minulosti párkrát letmo zmínila o alkoholismu svých rodičů – problém podle všeho začal v době, kdy se její otec vrátil z války. Některé věci se o svých rodičích nikdy nedozvíme, a stejně tak ani Sue neví, co její rodiče vedlo k závislosti; ona však právě kvůli tomu vyrůstala v nebývalé volnosti. Mohla číst, co chtěla, chodit, kam se jí zlíbilo, plout na vlnách představ, jenže ruku v ruce s volností přišla citová rozháranost a nevyrovnanost. Sue si přísně hlídá své soukromí a dalo by se říci, že je uzavřená. Nynější odhodlání promluvit takto otevřeně svědčí o tom, že se s minulostí vyrovnala. Přesto píše: „Žijeme v době, kdy se každý každému se vším svěřuje. Já však nestojím o to, aby se na mě lidé dívali jako na autora, který si libuje ve svém pohnutém životním osudu a ještě se na něm obohacuje. S odstupem padesáti let stále pociťuji rozpaky a nechce se mi odhrnout závoj halící období, kdy jsem byla zmatená a nejistá. Kéž by se v životě daly provádět stejné redakční úpravy jako v próze. Bylo by fajn mít možnost vrátit se zpátky a přepsat svůj životní příběh do lepší podoby, zbavit ho slabých míst a opravit chyby, které ve světle pozdějších zkušeností tolik bijí do očí. Zjistila jsem však, že snaha zakrýt sám před sebou nepříjemné věci vlastního života vede k tomu, že člověk zakryje i ty dobré, které jsou v bahně na dně přece jen schované. Minulost je pevný celek a já nevěřím, že lze říct jen část pravdy, aniž by člověk odhalil takřka celou. Zkušenosti nejsou zadarmo a já za své zmoudření zaplatila po čertech vysokou cenu.“ A na tom se všichni, kdo se odvážili ohlédnout se za vlastní minulostí, jistě shodnou. Moudrá žena. Nápaditá autorka.

Time of Contempt
Geralt the Witcher has fought monsters and demons across the land, but even he may not be prepared for what is happening to his world. The kings and armies are manoeuvring for position, each fearing invasion from across the river, each fearing their neighbours more. Intrigue, dissent and rebellion are on all sides. The Elves and other non-humans are still suffering under decades of repression, and growing numbers join the commando units hidden deep in the forest, striking at will and then dissolving into the trees. The Magicians are fighting amongst themselves, some in the pay of the kings, some sympathetic to the elves. And against this backdrop of fear and contempt Geralt and his lover Yennefer must protect Ciri, orphaned heir and sought by all sides. For the prophecy rests on her, and whether she lives or dies she has the power to save the world - or perhaps end it.
