Dig If U Will The Picture is a portrait of The Artist who will be remembered by many as the most seductive and enigmatic pop star of his generation. A year after Prince's death at the age of 57, acclaimed writer Ben Greenman brilliantly anatomizes the star's dramatic career and an aesthetic that at times seemed otherworldly.In thematically structured chapters that blend critical consideration of Prince's art with the author's personal connection to the music, this is a fitting memorial to a legendary performer: monumental, yet deeply intimate. Drawing on over 40 studio albums, a repertoire of 2,000 plus live shows, and close analysis of the unreleased highlights of the Vault, Dig If U Will the Picture is the definitive book on Prince's work.

A new Batman’s deadly crusade against the criminals of Gotham City begins! Bruce Wayne, battle-broken and out of commission after his epic showdown with Gotham’s famous villain Bane, has appointed a new Dark Knight to keep the bad guys at bay. Jean-Paul Valley (a.k.a. Azrael) has assumed the role of the caped crusader, but without Bruce’s integrity as a calming influence, Jean-Paul is swiftly getting out of hand, alienating both Robin and Commissioner Gordon.
Meanwhile, the hulking baddie Bane is still on the loose, while new villainous foes are introduced onto the battlefield that is Gotham, including master marksman Mekros and sinister sniper Gunhawk. Also, watch out for the return of familiar faces such as the serial killer Abattoir and, of course, the eerily jovial Joker.

Does Noise in my Head bother you?
The long-awaited, never-before-told, no-holds-barred memoir from the legendary Aerosmith frontman. Finally, all the lurid tales of debauchery, sex, drugs and rock n' roll are told straight from the horse's lips as The Demon of Screamin' describes his
unimaginable highs and unbelievable lows as lead singer of the biggest rock band in the world. Prolific frontman, rock icon and sex symbol, Steven Tyler is a living legend. With his raw, sharp-edged vocals, musical versatility and unprecedented song
writing skills, Tyler has, as lead singer of Aerosmith, sold millions of records and played sell-out concerts to as many as 450,000 people. Now, at last, he tells his own story, taking us on a wild rollercoaster ride through the bust-ups, binges, or
gies and good old American excess in the jaw-droppingly honest, in-your-face way that only Tyler can. Following a fateful meeting with his 'mutant twin' Joe Perry in the summer of 1970, Aerosmith was formed!and the rest, as they say, is rock history.
They released their first album in 1973, and by 1976 Aerosmith had gone from being nobodies to massive to off the radar, making history as a multi-platinum, chart-topping band. But with great success comes great excess. Nicknamed the Toxic Twins for
their insatiable appetite for drugs, booze and women, Tyler and Perry got caught up in the glamour of self-destruction - smashing each other up with guitars, having seizures and passing out on stage. By 1980 it seemed that the band and its members w
ere set to implode, but after successful stints in drug rehab, Aerosmith were back on track and better than ever. But although he may have given up his wicked, wicked ways, Tyler still enjoys talking about the bad old days. He has so many outrageous
stories to tell, and he's gonna tell them all. All the uncensored, head-spinning tales of debauchery, sex, booze, transcendence and chemical dependence you will ever want to hear. As raucous, intoxicating and edgy as his music, this is the most outra
geous rock n' roll autobiography of all time.

Catalogue of the Late Roman
Je velkým problémem sbírek archeologické či historické povahy, nejenom mincí, pokud nejsou publikační formou prezentovány odborné veřejnosti. Prezentovat skupinu mincí zveřejněných v tomto katalogu znamená nejen je chránit jako veřejný majetek jedné konkrétní univerzity, ale dát je k dispozici celé vědecké společnosti a tím umožnit pokrok v oblasti historických a numismatických studií. V práci Federica Gambacorty lze proto uvítat významné rozšíření publikovaného numismatického materiálu ve vlastnictví Univerzity Karlovy. Tato práce důstojně navazuje na dílo V. Marka, který před více než čtvrtstoletím podnikl první krok k publikaci univerzitní mincovní sbírky. Oproti původnímu rozhodnutí věnovat se pouze pozdně římským mincím autor do svého zpracování zahrnul rovněž mince byzantské a barbarské.
Tento katalog seznamuje publikum se skupinou mincí, které byly samy o sobě hlavními postavami a svědky doby, kdy byly vytvořeny. Mince narozdíl od jiných kategorií objektů byla používána na všech společenských úrovních a všude dokázala předat srozumitelné informace i těm, kteří neuměli číst. Obrazy na nich zpodobených vládnoucích císařů, členů císařské rodiny, dědiců a ručitelů kontinuity a stálosti říše tyto osoby umožňují rozpoznat a představují vhodné modely k napodobení u poddaných všech tříd. Jiná vyobrazení na reverzu mají za účel uklidňovat uživatele ohledně úsilí císaře o zajištění míru, solidnosti institucí, neporušenosti hranic. V poslední fázi říše se množí legendy oslavující vítěze císařů, slávu Římanů, bezpečnost státu, obnovu státu, zdraví státu a concordie císařů s vyobrazením Říma na trůně a se symboly moci. Typy a legendy na mincích nás informují o sociálních a náboženských změnách, které proběhly ve struktuře římské říše v době od Konstantina Velikého a dále. Byzantské mince a mince vyráběné Ostrogóty v Itálii v posledním století výroby mincí před krizí, která v západní části starého římského impéria způsobí zmizení mince, se prakticky od mincí římských neliší.

The Mystery Of Three Quarters: The New Hercule Poirot Mystery
The world's most beloved detective, Hercule Poirot - the legendary star of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express and most recently The Monogram Murders and Closed Casket-returns in a stylish, diabolically clever mystery set in 1930's London.
Returning home after lunch one day, Hercule Poirot finds an angry woman waiting outside his front door. She demands to know why Poirot has sent her a letter accusing her of the murder of Barnabas Pandy, a man she has neither heard of nor ever met.
Poirot has also never heard of a Barnabas Pandy, and has accused nobody of murder. Shaken, he goes inside, only to find that he has a visitor waiting for him - a man who also claims also to have received a letter from Poirot that morning, accusing him of the murder of Barnabas Pandy...
Poirot wonders how many more letters of this sort have been sent in his name. Who sent them, and why? More importantly, who is Barnabas Pandy, is he dead, and, if so, was he murdered? And can Poirot find out the answers without putting more lives in danger?

Dublin Foundation
Edward Rutherfurd's great Irish epic reveals the story of the people of Ireland through the focal point of the island's capital city. The epic begins in pre-Christian Ireland during the reign of the fierce and powerful High Kings at Tara, with the tale of two lovers, the princely Conall and the ravishing Deirdre, whose travails echo the ancient Celtic legend of Cuchulainn. From this stirring beginning, Rutherfurd takes the reader on a graphically realised journey through the centuries. Through the interlocking stories of a powerfully-imagined cast of characters - druids and chieftains, monks and smugglers, merchants and mercenaries, noblewomen, rebels and cowards - we see Ireland through the lens of its greatest city.

A szerelmes levél
Titkot őrizni veszélyes játék...
London, 1995
Amikor nemzedékének egyik legnagyobb színésze, Sir James Harrison kilencvenöt évesen meghal, nemcsak egy gyászoló családot és egy rendkívül gazdag életművet hagy maga után, hanem egy felkavaró titkot is, amely az egész országot megrendítheti...
Joanna Haslam, a fiatal, ambiciózus újságíró kapja meg a feladatot, hogy közvetítsen a legendás színészóriás gyászszertartásáról. Egy jól sikerült írás sokat lendíthetne a karrierjén, Joanna figyelmét a gyászoló hírességek helyett mégis egy ismeretlen, idős hölgy köti le. Sötét titkot sejt a csillogó felszín alatt: a rejtély kulcsa egy levél lehet, amelynek tartalmát hetven éve próbálják titokban tartani. Vakmerő lépés olyan játékba kezdeni, amelynek nem vagyunk tisztában a szabályaival, és Joanna is egyhamar rádöbben, hogy ezúttal egy jó sztorinál sokkal több forog kockán. Valaki vagy valakik bármit megtennének azért, hogy a szerelmes levél titka örökre rejtve maradjon a nagy nyilvánosság előtt.
A szerelmes levél egyszerre megkapó családregény és sodró lendületű krimi, amelynek szálait ezúttal is a két legnagyobb játékos alakítja: a hatalom és a szenvedély.

BMW
The sign of the white and blue propeller circle has signified BMW since the 1930s: sporty, dynamic, radiating brilliance, with timeless elegance and countless successes in the German touring car championships, as well as in Formula 2 and Formula 1 racing. The mention of BMW brings to mind legendary cars like the pre-war 328, the 507 from the 1950s, or the M1 of the 1970s. But the name BMW also stands for attempts to lend mobility to a wide class of buyers, for example with the Isetta and the 700. In a historical overview, this book first tells the legendary history of the Bavarian automobile firm and goes back to its beginning, the traces of which are lost in the darkness of the First World War. Following this, the new creations of the firm, like the Coupe E92 of the 3 Series, with its integrated feeder arm that delivers the seatbelt to the driver, or the Hydrogen 7, announced as the world's first hydrogen-drive luxury performance automobile for everyday useA , are introduced along with the old models by means of articles and excellent colour photography.
