Lacná kniha Beckmann
Max Beckmann (1884-1950) found his central theme in the loneliness of the twentieth century man, threatened by catastrophe and torn between materialism and freedom of mind and spirit. His early pictures showed the influence of Impressionism, with a p
reponderance of biblical, historical, and allegorical themes. World War I made a deep impression on him: somewhere between Expressionism and Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity), the succinct forms and hard contours in his memorable paintings and grap
hic works showed man at the limit of physical and mental endurance. Later, the harshness and severity of his style softened and his colors became more radiant, but the monumentality remained. Theater, circus, and music hall became parables of human e
xistence. Beckmann's work is concerned with the fundamental conditions of human existence and the tragic entanglement of the human being dependent on the whims of gods, sexuality, and society. His relentless search for knowledge, his uncompromising c
ommitment to the picture, and his belief in the power of its form and color give his work it's distinctive, fascinating character, and have earned him a high-ranking place among the artists of the twentieth century.

That is, until one morning when they both wake up to the same message:
‘Oh my god, have you seen The List?’
It began as a list of anonymous allegations about abusive men. Now it has been published online. Ola made her name breaking exactly this type of story. She would usually be the first to cover it, calling for the men to be fired. Except today, Michael’s name is on there.
With their future on the line, Ola gives Michael an ultimatum to prove his innocence by their wedding day, but will the truth of what happened change everything for both of them?

Létající talíře nad Antarktidou
V letech 1938/39 byla uskutečněna první německá expedice do Antarktidy a vzápětí poté vzneslo Německo územní nároky na část této oblasti. Požadované území bylo označeno jako Neuschwabeland. Dnes se o něm hovoří jako o mystickém pojmu, jenž bývá spojován s fantasticky znějícími domněnkami a legendami. Po skončení druhé světové války se totiž rozšířily pověsti, že toto území posloužilo jako útočiště některým uprchlým pohlavárům Třetí říše. Bylo prý vybaveno nejmodernějšími zbraňovými systémy a ponorkami kotvícími v podzemních docích, aby, až přijde čas, posloužily k blíže neurčeným vojenským účelům. Jen o něco později se stala Antarktida cílem tajné americké operace nesoucí název High jump, která měla údajně plnit vědecké poslání. Kuriózní je, že tato Američany utajovaná operace byla předčasně vyzrazena. Co se tehdy v Antarktidě stalo? Byli američtí vojáci vskutku napadeni německými létajícími talíři a dalšími supermoderními zbraněmi? Tato publikace zkoumá do všech detailů, jak se rodila technika německých létajících talířů. Kdy začal jejich vývoj? Existovaly prototypy nesoucí označení Vril a Haunebu? Co o tom píše esoterická a okultní literatura? Jakou roli měl sehrát odkaz templářských rytířů? Jak vůbec vznikly domněnky, že Hitler válku přežil a ukryl se na jižním pólu?

The Bolt Supremacy: Inside Jamaicas Sprint Factory
Beijing 2008, the 100 metres final: Usain Bolt slows down, beats his chest, metres clear of his nearest rival, his face filled with the euphoria of a young man utterly in thrall to his extraordinary physical talent. It is one of the greatest sporting moments. It is just the beginning.
Of the ten fastest 100-metres times in history, eight belong to Jamaicans. How is it that a small Caribbean island has come to almost totally dominate the men's and women's sprint events?
The Bolt Supremacy opens the doors to a community where sprinting permeates conversations and interactions; where the high school championships are watched by 35,000 screaming fans; where identity, success and status are forged on the track, and where making it is a pass to a world of adoration and lucrative contracts.
In such a society there can be the incentive for some to cheat. There are those who attribute Jamaican success to something beyond talent and hard work. Award-winning writer Richard Moore doesn't shy away from difficult questions as he travels the length of this beguiling country speaking to anti-doping agencies, scientists and sceptics as well as to coaches, gurus, superstar athletes and the young guns desperate to become the next big thing. Peeling back the layers, Moore finally reveals the secrets of Usain Bolt and the Jamaican sprint factory.

Everest - The First Ascent
This is the winner of the 2013 Boardman Tasker prize winner of the 2013 mountain & wilderness prize, Banff festival. For the first time, drawing upon previously unseen diaries and letters, rare archive material and interviews, Everest - The First Ascent tells the remarkable story of Griffith Pugh, the forgotten team member whose scientific breakthroughs ensured the world's highest mountain could be climbed. A doctor and physiologist, Griffith Pugh revolutionised almost every aspect of British high-altitude mountaineering, transforming the climbers' attitude to oxygen, the clothes they wore, their equipment, fluid intake and acclimatisation. Yet, far from receiving the acclaim he was due, he was met with suspicion and ridicule. His scientific contributions were, quite simply, at odds with old-fashioned notions of derring-do and the gentlemanly amateurism that dogged the sport. Later in his career, his impact in helping athletes enhance their performance lasts to this day in the fields of cycling, swimming and running. This insightful biography shows Pugh to be troubled, abrasive, yet brilliant. Eight years in the writing, closely researched, and told with unflinching honesty by Pugh's daughter, Harriet Tuckey, Everest - The First Ascent is the compelling portrait of an unlikely hero.

Öreg néne őzikéje
"Mátraalján, falu szélén
lakik az én öreg néném,
melegszívű, dolgos, derék,
tőle tudom ezt a mesét..."
Ki ne hallotta volna ezeket a fülbemászó sorokat? A törött lábú őzgidát meggyógyító öreg néne annyira közismert, hogy már-már azt hinnénk, népmesei alak. Pedig Fazekas Anna írta, és Róna Emy rajzolta meg, aki kétféle illusztrációt is készített a megható történethez.
A Móra Könyvkiadó mostani régi-új kiadásával stancolt formában, nem a megszokott krétarajzokkal adja közre a verses mesét, hanem a grafikus majdnem kétszer annyi gyönyörű festményével.

Architecture In Cina
The past five years have seen a revolution in Chinese architecturethe emergence of independent designers, and a number of new starsand above all new and interesting buildings that are not the product of direct Western influence. These developments
have laid the groundwork for an indigenous modernity that differentiates itself from outside schools as well as eschewing the temptation to put a "Chinese-style" roof on ordinary office blocks. The fact that Beijing has been chosen to host the 2008 S
ummer Olympic Games has been more than a catalyst for the development of high-quality contemporary architecture in China. Major foreign firms like OMA/Rem Koolhaas or Herzog & de Meuron are participating in the design of buildings that will have func
tions during the Games, but Chinese architects, too, have been mobilized in this massive effort to prepare the country for an unprecedented level of world-wide attention.
