Major Works: Including Poems, Plays and Critical Prose (Oxford World´s Classics)
This authoritative edition was first published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Yeats's poetry and prose - all the major poems, complemented by plays, cri
tical writings, and letters - to give the essence of his work and thinking. W. B. Yeats was born in 1865, only 38 years after the death of William Blake, and died in 1939, the contemporary of Ezra Pound and James Joyce. His career crossed two centuri
es, and this volume represents the full range of his achievement, from the Romantic early poems of Crossways and the symbolist masterpiece The Wind Among the Reeds to his last poems. Myth and folk-tale influence both his poems and his plays, represen
ted here by Cathleen ni Houlihan and Deirdre among others. The importance of the spirit world to his life and work is evident in his critical essays and occult writings, and the anthology also contains political speeches, autobiographical writings, a
nd a selection of his letters. This one-volume collection of poems and prose offers a unique perspective on the connectedness of Yeats's literary output, showing how his aesthetic, spiritual, and political development was reflected in everything he w
rote.

Finance pro nefinančníky
Cooke nezneužívá svá dlouhá léta působení jako finanční konzultant k zahlcení čtenáře složitými odbornými pojmy. V knize se čtenářům dostane nutného minima termínů, které je třeba znát při řízení firmy nebo provozování živnosti, podstatná část je však věnována vysvětlení praktického fungování obchodních mechanismů a jejich předvedení na názorných příkladech. Na stránkách knihy sledujeme humorný příběh americké podnikatelky Rosie Rouse prodávající manželské domky, jakési záložní ubytování pro manžele, kteří spolu po rodinné hádce nechtějí spát v jednom domě. Na tomto netradičním příkladu však čtenář postupně pozná všechny situace, které čekají každého, kdo vede vlastní firmu. Nákup, prodej, majetek firmy, financování, rozpočet, bilance a výsledovka… Výklad je odměřen do té míry, aby vybavil publikum praktickými informacemi a upozornil je na možné nástrahy podnikání, na druhé straně nezabředává ve spleti univerzitních termínů, které by čtenáře odradily. Každý aspekt světa obchodu a každý odborný pojem je jak znázorněn na příběhu Rosie a manželských domků, aby se neztratila pozornost publika, tak odborně definován, aby čtenář mohl s účetními a daňovými poradci hovořit jejich jazykem. Kniha řeší: Výroba a výstavba, Náklady na výrobu manželského domku, Putování jednotlivých nákladů ve výrobním procesu, Zásoby a přechod nákladů z jednoho měsíce do druhého, Kolísající jednicové náklady, Normované náklady, Různé metody účtování normovaných nákladů, Náklady ve výrobě masové a kusové, Nedokončená výroba, Výroba vázaná smlouvou, Otázky k procvičení, Případová studie

RGB Reviewing Graphics in Britain
A comprehensive, up-to-date collection of the most exciting new graphic-design in the United Kingdom. What design scene is as diverse or cosmopolitan, more rich in influences and references, as packed with new trends and original ideas, as teeming wi
th talent and ambition than the UK? To stand out in this competitive arena, British graphic designers have had to make their work ever more clever and polished, better informed. This fuels the distinctive, refined styles of such artists as Mark Farro
w, Sea, Spin, Browns, Fuel, James Joyce, Zak, Studio 8 and Bibliotek. The UK (especially urban hotbeds like London, Manchester and Sheffield) is also a greenhouse for new musical styles and youth trends, and a fertile ground for eccentric visual arti
sts like Non-Format, Ben Drury, The Designers Republic; and of course, also a major financial nucleus for studios like William Paul, BB Saunders and Saturday marking their styles and brands across the world. The main question in compiling a book on t
he best of new British design is not what to put in, but what to leave out. Stylistic novelty and visual distinctiveness are our key parameters. RGB features artists from highly diverse backgrounds, at all different stages in their careers, from hous
ehold names to the newest young talents. RGB captures the UKs explosively vibrant and unpredictable realm of graphic design, in over 400 pages packed with exciting visual material.

Empire of Ants
Ants have been walking the Earth since the age of the dinosaurs. Today there are one million ants for every one of us.
The closer you get to ants, the more human they look: they build megacities, grow crops, raise livestock, tend their young and infirm, and even make vaccines. They also have a darker side: they wage war, enslave rivals and rebel against their oppressors. From fearsome army ants, who stage twelve-hour hunting raids where they devour thousands, to gentle leaf-cutters gardening in their peaceful underground kingdoms, every ant is engineered by nature to fulfil their particular role.
Acclaimed biologist Susanne Foitzik has travelled the globe to study these master architects of Earth. Joined by journalist Olaf Fritsche, Foitzik invites readers deep into her world - in the field and in the lab - and will inspire new respect for ants as a global superpower.
Fascinating and action-packed, Empire of Ants will open your eyes to the secret societies thriving right beneath your feet.

The Human Animal in Western Art and Science
From the lazy, fiddling grasshopper to the sneaky Big Bad Wolf, children's stories and fables enchant us with their portrayals of animals who act like people. But the comparisons run both ways, as metaphors, stories, and images - as well as scientific theories - throughout history remind us that humans often act like animals, and that the line separating them is not as clear as we'd like to pretend. Here, Martin Kemp explores a stunning range of images and ideas to demonstrate just how deeply these underappreciated links between humans and other fauna are embedded in our culture. Tracing those interconnections among art, science, and literature, Kemp leads us on a dazzling tour of Western thought, from Aristotelian physiognomy and its influence on phrenology to the Great Chain of Being and Darwinian evolution. We learn about the racist anthropology underlying a familiar Degas sculpture, see paintings of a remarkably simian Judas, and watch Mowgli, the man-child from Kipling's "The Jungle Book", exhibit the behaviors of the beasts who raised him.
Like a kaleidoscope, Kemp uses these stories to refract, reconfigure, and echo the essential truth that the way we think about animals inevitably inflects how we think about people, and vice versa. Loaded with vivid illustrations and drawing on sources from Hesiod to La Fontaine, Leonardo to P. T. Barnum, "The Human Animal in Western Art and Science" is a fascinating, eye-opening reminder of our deep affinities with our fellow members of the animal kingdom.

Nature made Ash beautiful; Nurture made him a killer!
VICE CITY: NEW YORK IN THE 80s...
Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful; nurture made him a cold ruthless killer. A runaway brought up as the adopted heir and sex toy of "Papa" Dino Golzine, Ash, now at the rebellious age of seventeen, forsakes the kingdom held out by the devil who raised him. But the hideous secret that drove Ash's older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into Papa's insatiably ambitious hands--and it's exactly the wrong time for Eiji Okamura, a pure-hearted young photographer from Japan, to make Ash Lynx's acquaintance... Epic in scope, and one of the best-selling shojo titles of all time in Japan, Akimi Yoshida put an electric shock into the genre and gained a huge crossover audience through Banana Fish's stripped-down, non-stop style.
The announcement of Ash's death on television news has young Eiji in shock and denial. Ash's body is prepared for autopsy, but Max Lobo is convinced that the body has only been made to look like Ash. Meanwhile, the real Ash Lynx is transferred to a medical compound controlled by the Union Corse and corrupt Senator Kippard, where he will be a guinea pig for the dreaded Banana Fish. But neither Ash nor his friends are content to let him rot there, and they begin their own independent escape plans!

The Witch and the Tsar
Yaga lives deep in the Russian forest, tending to any that call upon her for her healing potions and vast wisdom.
She has been alone for centuries, with only her beloved animals for company. But, when Tsaritsa Anastasia, wife of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich, shows up at Yaga's cottage on the brink of death, Yaga is compelled to travel with her to Moscow to keep her safe.
However, the Russia Yaga sees as she makes her journey to the heart of the country is one on the brink of chaos. Tsar Ivan - soon to become Ivan the Terrible - grows more volatile and tyrannical by the day, and Yaga believes the tsaritsa is being poisoned by an unknown enemy. But what Yaga cannot know is that Ivan is being manipulated by powers far older and more fearsome than anyone can imagine.
Set in sixteenth-century Russia, The Witch and the Tsar upends the stories we know of Baba Yaga as the bony-legged witch of Slavic fairy tales and the stuff of nightmares. For beyond the rumours of her iron nose, fangs for teeth, and house on chicken legs, is the story of a woman so wise and strong that she has to be cloaked in lies to hide her true power.
Az apáca
Nem vagyok jó ember, és soha nem is akartam annak látszani. Nem hiszek a jóságban, nem hiszek Istenben, és nem hiszek semmilyen boldog befejezésben, amelynek nem fizettük meg előre az árát.
Megvan a saját kis szentháromságom, név szerint: pénz, szex, és a 18 éves Macallan prémium minőségű whisky, ámen.
Szóval amikor a ragyogó, briliáns Zenny Iverson megkér, hogy tanítsam meg a szexre, igent akarok mondani, nagyon is. Sajnos számos oka van, hogy nemet mondjak, olyan okok, melyeket még az olyan rosszfiúk sem hagyhatnak figyelmen kívül, mint amilyen én vagyok.
1. Ő a legjobb barátom húga
2. Túl fiatal hozzám. Sokkal, de sokkal fiatalabb.
3. Apáca, vagy legalábbis hamarosan fogadalmat tesz.
De kívánom, még ha a legjobb barátom és Isten is állnak az utamban, tanítani akarom a szexre és megérinteni őt és szeretni. Mégha tudom is, hogy ez valami még rosszabbá tesz, mint ami eddig voltam, rosszabbá, mint egy nagyon rossz ember. Bűnössé.
És éppen ezek a bűnök fognak majd megmenteni..

olvashatók. Wéber Anikó meséjében Marci, a kicsit mufurc, visszahúzódó kisfiú az iskola
első napján máris nagyon fontos feladatot kap: az ő felelőssége, hogy az 1. A-ban
