New City
The last 25 years or so have witnessed redevelopment in the City of London on an unprecedented scale, following the deregulation of the financial markets, the so-called 'Big Bang', in the mid-1980s. As the City has earned its place as a true global financial centre, the majority of its office space has been rebuilt, and developers have taken a more adventurous approach, commissioning such leading British and international architects as Norman Foster, Rem Koolhaas, Jean Nouvel and Richard Rogers. New City is the first book to examine in depth the creation of one of the world's largest collections of cutting-edge architecture - not just the prestigious office blocks that have changed the skyline, but also cultural institutions, retail sites and public spaces. Following an introduction that explores the context for the rebuilding of the City, the main part of the book is divided into 12 concise walk-throughs of the major areas. Authoritatively written by a former urban planner and with all-new photography throughout, this is an indispensable architectural guide for professionals and the public alike.

29. február
Život na nič nečaká a smelo plynie ďalej, ale čo ak staré jazvy rastú spolu s vami a aj po rokoch priveľmi bolia?
Timea po komplikáciách vo vzťahu prahne po oddychu pre svoju unavenú dušu, preto vzkriesi svoju lásku k literatúre.
Keď v jednej zo starých kníh náhodne objaví zažltnuté svadobné oznámenie svojej milovanej tety a neznámeho muža, prebudí sa v nej zvedavosť. K žiadnej svadbe totiž nikdy nedošlo.
Tetine vyhýbavé odpovede vyvolávajú ďalšie otázky, preto Timea začne hľadať pravdu na vlastnú päsť.
Prečo sa svadba nekonala a kto je záhadný Oliver?
Aké tajomstvá ukrývajú ľudia, ktorí spolu plánovali zostarnúť?
Ako to celé súvisí s magickým 29. februárom?
Odhaľte s Timeou kúsok po kúsku jednotlivé časti skladačky a ponorte sa do prekvapivého príbehu, ktorý vás nenechá chladnými.
„... aby svet vedel, čo dokáže vytvoriť zlo a krutosť, koľko životov dokáže zmárniť a akú spúšť vie zanechať za sebou túžba po pomste.“

Ako byť antirasista
Oceňovaný americký autor predstavuje novú cestu, ako porozumieť rasizmu a nerovnosti v našej spoločnosti a ako ich vykoreniť raz a navždy.
Antirasizmus je transformačný koncept, ktorý mení diskusie o rasizme, ale najmä poukazuje na nové oslobodzujúce spôsoby myslenia. Rasizmus je vo svojej podstate mocný systém, ktorý vytvára falošné hierarchie ľudskej hodnoty. Jeho pokrivená logika siaha za hranice rasy od spôsobu, akým uvažujeme o ľuďoch iných etnicít alebo inej farby pokožky, až po spôsob, akým sa správame k ľuďom odlišného pohlavia, odlišnej rodovej identity a postavy. Rasizmus sa prelína s triedou, kultúrou a geografiou a dokonca mení aj náš obraz o sebe.
V knihe Ako byť antirasista Kendi sprevádza čitateľov širokým okruhom antirasistických myšlienok od tých najzákladnejších konceptov až po vizionárske alternatívy. Pomáha nám jasne rozoznať rasizmus vo všetkých jeho formách, pochopiť jeho škodlivé dôsledky a ukazuje, ako sa možno voči nim brániť na úrovni systému, ale aj v našom vnútri. Kendi spája etiku, históriu, právo a vedu so svojím vlastným príbehom prebudenia z rasizmu. Táto kniha je povinné čítanie pre každého, komu nestačia len základné informácie o rasizme, ale chce ísť o krok ďalej a prispieť k vytvoreniu spravodlivej a slušnej spoločnosti

Izoldin stav sa zhoršuje a Viego šalie, žiali a hrozí, že so sebou stiahne ku dnu celý Kamavor. Kalista podnikne zúfalý pokus o záchranu kráľovstva – skúsi nájsť dávno stratené Požehnané ostrovy, kde vraj nájde riešenie na kráľovninu záchranu.
V hlavnom meste Požehnaných ostrovov však vzrastá korupcia a pomstychtivý správca sa pokúsi Kalistu zlákať do svojich krutých machinácií. Je nútená vybrať si – buď bude verná Viegovi, alebo vykoná to, čo je správne, pretože aj v časoch tej najväčšej temnoty môže jeden šľachetný skutok dodať svetu nádej, ktorá ho zachráni.
Objavte impozantný príbeh mágie, pomsty a kráľovstva na pokraji zrútenia v prvom románe zo sveta úspešnej hry League of Legends.

Rome - Portrait of a City
Citta Eterna
A photographic portrait of Rome
This bumper photographic portrait of Rome brings together hundreds of photographs from the 1840s through to today to explore the extraordinary history, beauty, and art of this incomparable cultural capital.
From sepia and black and white to color, these outstanding images dating from the 1840s to the present day allow us -- through the eyes of such photographers as Giacomo Caneva, Pompeo Molins, Giuseppe Primoli, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Carlo Bavagnoli, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Pasquale De Antonis, Peter Lindbergh, Slim Aarons, and William Klein -- to discover Rome in its many compelling guises as the center of the Roman Empire, as one of the cradles of the Renaissance, as a favorite destination for travelers and a rich patchwork of varied neighborhoods, as the seat of the Roman Catholic Church, a stage for politics, and as the perfect backdrop for film and fashion shoots.
Reaching back into illustrious archives, some of the book's early images offer us a privileged Grand Tour glimpse of some of Rome's most treasured landmarks, revealing the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Spanish Steps almost void of crowds. Later pictures survey the city's contrasts--from the luxurious homes and leisure activities of the privileged to street stalls and laundry lines in the working class districts of Trastevere and Testaccio. Some documentary-style shots show us the dark power of Mussolini, the city bedecked with his own iconography and imagery of strength, athleticism, and the fatherland.
As color photography comes in, the city transitions from a neo-realismo aesthetic to postwar recovery and hedonism: all the glamorous gowns, exotic celebrities, and Via Veneto cafe culture immortalized by Fellini. Many famous faces are here, including Louis Armstrong, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Anna Magnani, and Valentino.

The Word: On the Translation of the Bible
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of A History of the Bible, this is the story of how the Bible has been translated, and why it matters
The Bible is held to be both universal and specific, the source of fundamental truths inscribed in words that are exact and sacred. For much of the history of Judaism and almost the entirety of Christianity, however, believers have overwhelmingly understood scripture not in the languages in which it was first written but rather in their own - in translation.
This book examines how saints, scholars and interpreters from ancient times down to the present have produced versions of the Bible in the language of their day while remaining true to the original. It explains the challenges they negotiated, from minute textual ambiguities up to the sweep of style and stark differences in form and thought between the earliest writings and the latest, and it exposes the bearing these have on some of the most profound questions of faith: the nature of God, the existence of the soul and possibility of its salvation.
Reading dozens of renderings alongside their ancient Hebrew and Greek antecedents, John Barton traces the migration of biblical words and ideas across linguistic borders, illuminating original meanings as well as the ways they were recast. 'Translators have been among the principal agents in mediating the Bible's message,' he writes, 'even in shaping what that message is.' At the separation of Christianity from Judaism and Protestantism from Catholicism, Barton demonstrates, vernacular versions did not only spring from fault lines in religious thinking but also inspired and moulded them. The product of a lifetime's study of scripture, The Word itself reveals the central book of our culture anew - as it was written and as we know it.
Killing Hitler: The Third Reich and the Plots Against the Fuhrer
Most people have heard of the Stauffenberg Plot - the attempt to kill Hitler launched by the German Resistance Movement on 20 July 1944. But it is not widely known that this was only one of a long series of similar attacks. Killing Hitler" is an account of the surprisingly numerous attempts on the life of Adolf Hitler. The Germans, Soviets, Poles and British all made plans to kill the Fuhrer. Lone gunmen, disaffected German officers and the Polish Underground, the Soviet NKVD and the British Special Operations Executive were all involved. Their methods varied from bombing, poisoning or using a sniper, to infiltrating the SS, or even sending Rudolf Hess back to Germany under hypnosis. Many of the plans did not make it beyond the drawing board, some were carried out. All of them failed. Alongside the dramatic and largely unknown stories of Hitler's numerous assassins, this book presents a fascinating investigation of a number of broader issues, such as the complex motives of the German Resistance, the curious squeamishness of the British, and the effectiveness of the Nazi security apparatus. Drawing on memoirs and original archival sources in Poland, Germany, Russia and Britain, "Killing Hitler" offers a unique perspective on the history of the Third Reich. Hitler's would-be assassins ranged from simple craftsmen to high-ranking soldiers, from the apolitical to the ideologically obsessed, and from enemy agents to his closest associates. Few of these men and women are known to history. This is their story. It is the story of their plans, their motives and their failures. But it is also an account of the remarkable survival of a tyrant."
