Mastering Movement
The definitive work on the life, achievements and theory of the great choreographer Rudolf Laban Like Picasso in painting, Stravinsky in music or Stanislavski in theatre, Rudolf Laban (1879-1958) has been a seminal influence on the arts in this century. The impact of his theories and practice have influenced the whole course of modern dance and choreography, and his ideas about physical life and expression have also influenced performers in other fields.
His mark can be found in the work of artists as diverse as the German dancers and choreographers Mary Wigman, Kurt Joos and Pina Bausch and the British theatre artists Joan Littlewood, William Gaskill, Joan Plowright, Malcolm Ransome and many others In this major new study John Hodgson looks at the different facets and phases of Laban's life and writings to unravel the many strands of his thinking and its application. This is a masterful synthesis of Laban's work, providing a practical understanding of how the human body moves and creates both beauty and purity through movement. It will become a central text for practitioners of dance and theatre as well as the major record of the history and creative development of Rudolf Laban himself.

Lacná kniha Az örök karácsony (-70%)
A karácsony a legszemélyesebb keresztény ünnep: mást üzen annak, aki szerettei gyűrűjében él, és mást a magányosnak.
Szabó Dezső még gimnazista korában elköltözött a szülői házból, majd az érettségit követően Kolozsvárról is. Önkéntes száműzetése haláláig tartott, mert felismerte: "Ahhoz, hogy én lássak igazi látással: megfogamzón és megmaradón: egyedül kell lennem." Sajnos magánya túl tökéletesre sikerült, sosem talált társra az életben.
Érthető, hogy számára a karácsony a csendes szenvedés, az egyedüllét szomorúsága volt. De azért karácsonyfát mindig állított magának. Mivel igazi karácsonyokról csak gyermekkori emlékei lehetek, idevágó írásaiban az önéletrajz eredetű motívumok gyakorta megjelennek. Novelláiban a karácsony valamiféle amplifikáló erővel bír: mindenkiből kihozza, felnagyítja, megerősíti a benne rejtőzködő szépet és jót.
Szabó Dezső karácsonyi elbeszéléséi egyként igazolják: a végzetes magánnyal való fájdalmas szembenézés és a nagy morális összefoglalások kiváltói voltak életében a karácsony esték.

How to be an Art Rebel
This irreverent introduction to art gives children the confidence to respond to art on their own terms, and - most importantly - to have fun with it.
Under the playful guidance of Leo, the museum cat, readers encounter abstract, Surrealist, nude and contemporary art, ancient sculpture, still lifes and portraits. But instead of being told facts to memorize, they're equipped with the knowledge that allows them to come up with their own interpretations of famous art works. Knowing how symbols work, they'll decipher clues in Frida Kahlo's self-portrait; understanding Surrealism, they'll decide for themselves what Joan Miro's abstract doodles are all about.
This book shows that art isn't about knowing the right answers - it's about having fun, making up your own mind and seeing things from a different angle.

The Model Thinker
Data, data, data: It's all one ever hears about these days. Science is all about big data. Our bosses call out for analytics, whatever those might be.
And everyone wants to predict what will happen next. Can we accurately predict if a company's stock will rise, whether or not a disease will spread, or who will become the next President of the United States? As anyone who has ever opened up a spreadsheet groaning with weeks, months, or years of data knows, numbers aren't enough: we have to know how to make them talk. Enter Scott Page and The Model Thinker.
A leading professor of quantitative social science at the University of Michigan, he has taken his expertise as both a teacher and researcher and distilled it into the one book anyone will need to master data and turn it to professional use. This is no armchair exercise in imagined understanding, like The Signal and the Noise or The Black Swan or a legion of books on networks, the purposes of which are to make us look good in meetings (or in our own minds) than they are to enable us to do something useful. The Model Thinker is the guide to turning data into understanding.
Underneath it all is what Page calls the "many-model paradigm", where the key isn't to just find one related set of statistical tools and work with them over and over, but to test our understanding of things by modeling them from several perspectives. The result is both a deep, quantitative acquaintance with tools ranging from Markov chains to game theory to Taleb-style long-tail statistics to network analysis and complexity theory, and a profound trip through the thought-process of a world-class data modeler. All the major tools of modeling--which readers will have heard of in everything from Wired to The Economist to The New York Times--will finally yield their secrets.
As The Theoretical Minimum showed, readers in quantitative fields aren't just looking for entertainment. They want to change their understanding of, and ability to act, in the real world. Businesspeople, students, and scientists alike will find much to learn from The Model Thinker.

Az első Gertrudis
A "Bánk bán" 1833. február 25-én tartott kassai ősbemutatójának főbb szereplői valamennyien tagjai lettek a Pesti Magyar Színháznak, a későbbi Nemzeti Színháznak. Egyedül a Gertrudist alakító Kántorné Engelhardt Anna nem. Pedig ő volt a korábbi évtizedek legnagyobb tehetségű drámai színésznője, a vándorszínészet hőskorának csillaga. A méltatlan mellőzés soha nem gyógyuló sebet ütött a kemény természetű, büszke színésznő lelkén: hiába hívták vissza később, "nem akart hold lenni ott, ahol egykor nap volt". Kertész Erzsébet regénye nemcsak hősnőjének megrendítő, titkokkal terhes sorsát kíséri végig, hanem részletes, eleven tablót fest a reformkori színészvilágról is.

Gyeplő nélkül
A közelmúlt emlékei és a megírás idejének élményei egyaránt rányomták bélyegüket Fekete István 1946-ban keletkezett regényének hangulatára. A témaválasztást a csaknem 15 esztendős gazdatiszti múlt inspirálta, melynek keserű tapasztalatait a mezőgazdaságban 1945 óta történtek folyamatosan eszébe juttatták a Földművelésügyi Minisztérium tisztviselőjének. Ráadásul az író a regény tervezése idején vakult meg egyik szemére, és ez a tragédia alapjaiban befolyásolta szemléletmódját. Ekkoriban írta egyik levelében, hogy "az ostrom és a következmények az én idegeimet is alaposan megreszelték, és derengést még az elveszett szememmel se látok, pedig azzal sok mindent meglátok, amit eddig nem láttam."

Discours de Suede
On aura peut-tre été un peu surpris de voir dans ces discours l'accent porté par Camus sur la défense de l'art et la liberté de l'artiste - en mme temps que sur la solidarité qui s'impose lui. Cela faisait certes partie de ce que lui dictaient les circonstances et le milieu o il devait les prononcer, mais il est certain que Camus se sentait accablé par une situation o, selon ses propres paroles, « le silence mme prend un sens redoutable. partir du moment o l'abstention elle-mme est considérée comme un choix, puni ou loué comme tel, l'artiste, qu'il le veuille ou non, est embarqué. Embarqué me paraît ici plus juste qu'engagé. » Et malgré une certaine éloquence - qu'on lui reprochait également - il se sentait profondément concerné et douloureusement atteint par un conflit qui le touchait jusque dans sa chair et dans ses affections les plus enracinées.

Palette Perfect for Graphic Designers and Illustrators
The creative use of colour and its combinations in illustration, graphic and product design involves understanding how emotions are conveyed and how they affect our design and illustrations. We must also consider that colour is perceived differently in different countries and cultures. All this is widely explained in this second book in the Palette Perfect series, illustrated with projects by renowned international illustrators and designers, and organized by colours (identified with CMYK, RGB and HEX codes) and moods associated with the time of day. Based on real examples drawn from graphic design, product design and illustration, different innovative combinations and palettes are shown for each colour as well as the meaning it conveys. Intended for graphic designers, design students, fashion and interior design lovers, and all those interested in exciting and unexpected colour combinations that work.
Think Like a Freak
The Freakonomics books have come to stand for challenging conventional wisdom; using data rather than emotion to answer questions. Now Levitt and Dubner have turned what they've learned into a readable and practical toolkit for thinking smarter, harder, and different - thinking, that is, like a Freak. Think Like a Freak offers rules like 'Put Your Moral Compass in Your Pocket,' 'The Upside of Quitting,' 'Just Because You're Great at Something Doesn't Mean You're Good at Everything,' and 'If You Have No Talent, Follow Levitt's Path to Success.'

As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow
Burning with the fires of hope and possibility, AS LONG AS THE LEMON TREES GROW will sweep you up and never let you go. Salama Kassab was a pharmacy student when the cries for freedom broke out in Syria. She still had her parents and her big brother; she still had her home.
She was even supposed to be meeting a boy to talk about marriage. Now Salama volunteers at a hospital in Homs, helping the wounded who flood through the doors. She knows that she should be thinking about leaving, but who will help the people of her beloved country if she doesn't? With her heart so conflicted, her mind has conjured a vision to spur her to action.
His name is Khawf, and he haunts her nights with hallucinations of everything she has lost. But even with Khawf pressing her to leave, when she crosses paths with Kenan, the boy she was supposed to meet on that fateful day, she starts to doubt her resolve in leaving home at all. Soon, Salama must learn to see the events around her for what they truly are-not a war, but a revolution-and decide how she, too, will cry for Syria's freedom.

OWC Mark on Wall & Other Short Fiction
I shall never forget the day I wrote "The Mark on the Wall" - all in a flash, as if flying, after being kept stone breaking for months. "The Unwritten Novel" was the great discovery, however. That - again in one second - showed me how I could embody
all my deposit of experience in a shape that fitted it... I saw, branching out of the tunnel I made, when I discovered that method of approach, Jacob's Room, Mrs Dalloway etc - How I trembled with excitement.' The thrill Woolf got from these stories
is readily apparent to the reader. She wrote them in defiance of convention, with a heady feeling of liberation and with a clear sense that she was breaking new ground. Indeed, if she had not made her bold and experimental forays into the short story
in the period leading up to the publication of Jacob's Room (1922), it seems certain that her arrival as a great modernist novelist would have been delayed. Quirky, unrestrained, disturbing and surprising, many of these stories, particularly the ear
ly ones, are essential to an understanding of Woolf's development as a writer. She thought some of her short fiction might be 'unprintable' but, happily, she was mistaken.
