Adieu Audrey
Sie wird heute, 25 Jahre nach ihrem Tod, noch genauso geliebt und verehrt wie zu Lebzeiten. Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993), die Sabrina, Holly Golightly und Fair Lady der Filmgeschichte, ist im kollektiven Gedächtnis längst unsterblich geworden. Das beweist auch unsere Sammlung der schönsten Film Stills, Portraits und Privatphotos, die wir 1993 zum Abschied, als Hommage und Erinnerung an Hollywoods liebenswertesten Star herausbrachten. Die Triumphe, die sie dort in den 50er und 60er Jahren feierte, waren umso erstaunlicher, als Audrey Hepburn keineswegs den damals gängigen Klischees entsprach. Zierlich, fast androgyn und von entwaffnender Natürlichkeit bestimmte sie eine Zeitlang sogar Mode- und Schönheitsideale weltweit: ihre Pillbox-Hüte und französischen Schneiderkostüme, der burschikose Kurzhaarschnitt und die flachen Schuhe wurden zu ihrer Zeit und seitdem immer wieder millionenfach kopiert. Hollywoods schärfste Zunge Billy Wilder spottete, sie werde wohl selbst den Busen noch aus der Mode bringen. Adieu Audrey mit rund 90 Bildern von den Anfängen ihrer Karriere in den frühen 40er Jahren bis zu ihrem letzten Portrait vom September 1992 erfreut sich nach wie vor unverminderter Beliebtheit.
Universal - A Guide to the Cosmos
An awe-inspiring, unforgettable journey of scientific exploration from Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw, the top ten bestselling authors of The Quantum Universe. We dare to imagine a time before the Big Bang, when the entire Universe was compressed into a space smaller than an atom. And now, as Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw show, we can do more than imagine: we can understand. Over the centuries, the human urge to discover has unlocked an incredible amount of knowledge. What it reveals to us is breathtaking. Universal takes us on an epic journey of scientific exploration and, in doing so, reveals how we can all understand some of the most fundamental questions about our Earth, Sun, Solar System and the star-filled galaxies beyond. Some of these questions - How big is our solar system? How fast is space expanding? - can be answered from your back garden; the answers to others - How big is the Universe? What is it made of? - draw on the astonishing information now being gathered by teams of astronomers operating at the frontiers of the known universe. At the heart of all these questions - from the earliest attempts to quantify gravity, to our efforts to understand what dark matter is and what really happened at the birth of our universe - is the scientific process. Science reveals a deeper beauty, connects us to each other, to our world, and to our Universe; and, by understanding the groundbreaking work of others, reaches out into the unknown. What's more, as Universal shows us, if we dare to imagine, we can all do it.

The Art of Colour
A unique approach to the history of art told through the story of colour and pigments.
Did you know that the ultramarine that shimmers at the centre of Vermeer's Milkmaid connects that masterpiece with 6th-century Zoroastrian paintings found on the walls of cave temples in Bamiyan, Afghanistan? Or that the surging waves that crest and curl in Hokusai's perilous Great Wave off Kanagawa owe their absorbing blue lustre to an alchemist who was born in Frankenstein's Castle in 1673? And were the Pre-Raphaelites really obsessed with a murky brown hue derived from the pulverized remains of ancient mummies? (Spoiler: they were.)
Invented by prehistoric cave-dwellers and medieval conjurers, cunning conmen and savvy scientists, the colours of art tell a riveting tale all their own. Over ten scintillating chapters, acclaimed author Kelly Grovier helps bring that tale vividly to life, revealing the astonishing backstories of the pigments that define the greatest works in the history of art. Interwoven between these chapters is a series of features focusing on key moments in the evolution of colour theory - from the revelations of the Enlightenment to the radicalism of the Bauhaus - while reproductions of carefully selected artworks help illuminate the narrative's twists and turns.
The history of colour is an epic saga of human ingenuity and insatiable desire. Read this book and you will never look at a work of art in quite the same way.

Others perish during the passage through the seven valleys: quest, love, understanding, friendship, unity, amazement, and death.Those that continue reach the mountain to learn that Simorgh the king is, in fact, each of them and all of them. In this lyrical and richly illustrated story of love, faith, and the meaning of it all, Peter SIs shows the pain, and beauty, of the human journey.

Africká abeceda
Lvy, slony, zebry, žirafy většinou dobře známe, ať již ze ZOO nebo z televizní obrazovky. Co je anhinga, kde roste baobab, jak vypadá daman a jak snovač? Kde bychom mohli potkat vodušku a je welwitschie zvíře, nebo rostlina? V tom už bychom si pravděpodobně tak jistí nebyli. Ale můžeme se začíst do Africké abecedy. Václav Chaloupek v ní vypráví o zvířatech, rostlinách a místech známých i pozoruhodně neznámých, o národních parcích a naopak o oblastech turistickým ruchem dosud téměř nedotčených a také o řekách, jež ve vyprahlé Africe tvoří skutečné tepny života. Autor v knize zaznamenal své postřehy a zážitky z četných filmařských cest, které podnikal v rozmezí pětadvaceti let. Exkluzivními fotografiemi, pořízenými během dvou afrických výprav, vybavila knihu Taťána Typltová. Podařilo se jí zachytit jedinečnost okamžiků, cenných i proto, že kouzlo původní divoké Afriky pomalu a možná nenávratně mizí. Mnohé druhy zvířat jsou ohrožené, jiným hrozí vyhubení, a to nejen v důsledku pytláctví, ale i vlivem měnícího se životního prostředí.
Vypravte se na kontinent s vůní exotiky. Zažijte neopakovatelná setkání s divokou a nespoutanou Afrikou.

Lacná kniha Do the Fcking Work (-70%)
A wake-up call for creatives who need that inspiring kick to finally create the thing they've been meaning to make, while celebrating the journey of trying, learning, and failing.
Over the last eight years, Jason Bacher and Brian Buirge of Good F*cking Design Advice (GFDA) have made a name for themselves in the international design community, inspiring creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs with their products, weekly e-mails, and most important, their unorthodox advice about work ethic and the creative process.
Do the F*cking Work is a collection of 100 beautifully packaged pieces that showcase their irreverent advice-inspiration that will help unstick even the most dedicated procrastinators. Covering everything from drinking your morning coffee to handling productive criticism, from embracing failure to rejecting the status quo, their insights upend conventional thinking and teach you to embrace and celebrate the journey of creation-the joy of trying, failing, learning, and sometimes failing again.
To make something good we have to make some mistakes. Bacher and Buirge teach you to embrace the unknown and to f*cking laugh at yourself during the process. There is a method to their madness-a surprising reassurance that is baked into their bluntness. We're all trying, messing up, and trying again. And there's joy to be found in that-something we often overlook in our rush to get everything done and get it right the first time.
With personal insights, actionable advice, stylish visuals, and lots of colorful language, Do the F*cking Work will leave you feeling renewed and inspired, and will make you see that the value of work is as much about the process as the outcome.

Living in a Mindful Universe
In 2008, Dr Eben Alexander's brain was severely damaged by a devastating case of bacterial meningitis, and he lapsed into a weeklong coma. It was almost certainly a death sentence, but Dr Alexander miraculously survived - and brought back with him an astounding story. During those seven days in coma, he was plunged into the deepest realms of consciousness, and came to understand profound truths about the universe we inhabit. What he learned changed everything he knew about the brain mind, and consciousness and drove him to ask a question confounding the entire scientific community: How do you explain the origins of consciousness if it is not a byproduct of the brain?
In Living in a Mindful Universe, the New York Times bestselling author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heaven shares his insights into the true nature of consciousness. Embracing his radically new worldview, he began a committed program of personal exploration into non-local consciousness. Along the way, he met Karen Newell, who had spent most of her lifetime living the worldview he had only just discovered was possible. Her personal knowledge came from testing various techniques and theories as part of her daily routine. With Living in a Mindful Universe, they share techniques that can be used to tap into our greater mind and explore how the power of the heart can enhance healing, relationships, creativity, guidance and more. Using various modalities related to meditation and mindfulness described herein, you too can gain the power to access that infinite source of knowing so vital to us all.
Star Wars: Shadow of the Sith
Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian return in this essential novel set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
The Empire is dead. Nearly two decades after the Battle of Endor, the tattered remnants of Palpatine's forces have fled to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. But for the heroes of the New Republic, danger and loss are ever-present companions, even in this newly forged era of peace.
Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of the dark side, foretelling an ominous secret growing somewhere in the depths of space, on a dead world called Exegol. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable... and Luke's worst fears are confirmed when his old friend Lando Calrissian comes to him with reports of a new Sith menace.
After Lando's daughter was stolen from his arms, he searched the stars for any trace of his lost child. But every new rumor leads only to dead ends and fading hopes-until he crosses paths with Ochi of Bestoon, a Sith assassin tasked with kidnapping a young girl.
Ochi's true motives remain shrouded to Luke and Lando. For on a junkyard moon, a mysterious envoy of the Sith Eternal has bequeathed a sacred blade to the assassin, promising that it will answer the questions that have haunted him since the Empire fell. In exchange, he must complete a final mission: Return to Exegol with the key to the Sith's glorious rebirth-Rey, the granddaughter of Darth Sidious himself.
As Ochi hunts Rey and her parents to the edge of the galaxy, Luke and Lando race into the mystery of the Sith's lingering shadow and aid a young family running for their lives.
Počátky latinské písemné kultury v českých zemích
Monografie je zaměřena na počátky latinské písemné kultury v Čechách a na Moravě, zejména na prameny k jejímu poznání. Velká pozornost je věnována prezentaci rukopisných fragmentů raně středověkého období, které byly v kodikologickém diskursu doposud využívány jen zcela okrajově; ve většině případů jde o první publikaci těchto pramenů vůbec. Z tohoto hlediska jde o téma s velkým metodickým potenciálem, u něhož lze očekávat, že se stane inspirací pro analogické práce s fragmentárními rukopisnými prameny mladšího středověku.
Průnik latinského karolínského písma do českých zemí je na základě komplexní paleografické a kodikologické analýzy prezentován jako jev doprovázející latinský proud christianizace směřující od IX. století do oblasti středního Podunají převážně z Bavorska; s ním souvisí budování prvních domácích církevních institucí. Důležitý zlom nastal v polovině XI. století, kdy se původní pasivita (tj. závislost českých zemí na importu knih ze zahraničí) postupně mění v aktivní zapojení se Čech do tvorby latinských textů. Do této doby sahají nejstarší stopy první doložitelné písařské školy působící při břevnovském benediktinském klášteře za opata Meginharda. Kniha je vybavena kvalitními barevnými reprodukcemi všech relevantních pramenů, včetně instruktivních schémat, která prezentují kodikologická pozorování, a kodikologických i paleografických rejstříků.

The Tender Bar
'Highly entertaining . . . constructed as skilfully as a drink mixed by the author's Uncle Charlie' New York Times
In the rich tradition of bestselling memoirs about self-invention, The Tender Bar is by turns riveting, moving, and achingly funny. An evocative portrait of one boy's struggle to become a man, it's also a touching depiction of how some men remain lost boys.
JR Moehringer grew up listening for a voice, the voice of his missing father, a DJ who disappeared before JR spoke his first words. As a boy, JR would press his ear to a battered clock radio, straining to hear in that resonant voice the secrets of identity and masculinity. When the voice disappeared, JR found new voices in the bar on the corner. A grand old New York saloon, the bar was a sanctuary for all sorts of men -- cops and poets, actors and lawyers, gamblers and stumblebums. The flamboyant characters along the bar taught JR, tended him, and provided a kind of fatherhood by committee. Torn between his love for his mother and the lure of the bar, JR forged a boyhood somewhere in the middle.
When the time came to leave home, the bar became a way station -- from JR's entrance to Yale, where he floundered as a scholarship student; to Lord & Taylor, where he spent a humbling stint peddling housewares; to the New York Times, where he became a faulty cog in a vast machine. The bar offered shelter from failure, from rejection, and eventually from reality, until at last the bar turned JR away.
