A to Z of The Designers Republic
The first book to tell the whole story of The Designers Republic?the design group that irrevocably changed the field of graphic communication.
Led by founder and born rebel, Ian Anderson, The Designers Republic(TM) (TDR(TM)) has shaped graphic communication for over thirty years through rule-defying music work, provocative self-initiated projects, and a fierce commitment to conceptual thinking over style. Now, for the first time in book form, Anderson explores the studio’s output and its influence on a generation of graphic designers.
A to Z of the Designers Republic spans over three decades of work?from the studio’s earliest designs for the FON label in the mid-1980s and sleeves for Age of Chance, Chakk, and Cabaret Voltaire to its most recent projects for the Cinematic Orchestra, Led Bib, and the Gulbenkian Foundation. Alongside classic self-initiated TDR(TM) projects, the book features an A to Z of everything from campaigns for Evolution Print, Coca-Cola, and Nike through the studio’s celebrated designs for videogames such as WipEout and Formula Fusion. Finally, TDR(TM)'s special relationship with print is explored through its celebrated contributions to IDEA and Emigre magazines and its 3D>2D book, alongside its work for the Manchester School of Art, Gatecrasher, NY Sushi, and the studio’s array of music clients including Aphex Twin, Moloko, Sun Electric, The Orb, Warp Records, R&S Records, and New Atlantis.

Kindred
'Beautiful, evocative, authoritative.' Professor Brian Cox
'Important reading not just for anyone interested in these ancient cousins of ours, but also for anyone interested in humanity.' Yuval Noah Harari
Kindred is the definitive guide to the Neanderthals. Since their discovery more than 160 years ago, Neanderthals have metamorphosed from the losers of the human family tree to A-list hominins.Rebecca Wragg Sykes uses her experience at the cutting-edge of Palaeolithic research to share our new understanding of Neanderthals, shoving aside cliches of rag-clad brutes in an icy wasteland. She reveals them to be curious, clever connoisseurs of their world, technologically inventive and ecologically adaptable. Above all, they were successful survivors for more than 300,000 years, during times of massive climatic upheaval.
Much of what defines us was also in Neanderthals, and their DNA is still inside us. Planning, co-operation, altruism, craftsmanship, aesthetic sense, imagination, perhaps even a desire for transcendence beyond mortality. Kindred does for Neanderthals what Sapiens did for us, revealing a deeper, more nuanced story where humanity itself is our ancient, shared inheritance.
The Shielding of Mrs Forbes - Faber Stories
'Thinking Betty was in the bath Graham was watching a late-night programme on Channel 4 called Footballers with Their Shirts Off when she unexpectedly came in on the trail of the hairdryer.
"I didn't know you were interested in football," said Betty.'
No one must ever find out that Graham is 'not the marrying sort'. Certainly not his wife, or his mother. As sex, blackmail and fanatical tidiness take over the West Yorkshire parish of Alwoodley, an unlikely caper unfolds.

Sacred Nature
In this hugely powerful book, Karen Armstrong argues that if we want to avert environmental catastrophe, it is not enough to change our behaviour: we need to learn to think and feel differently about the natural world - to rekindle our spiritual bond with nature.
For most of human history, and in almost all the world's cultures, nature was believed to be sacred, and our God or gods to be present everywhere in the natural world. When people in the West began to separate God and nature in modern times, it was not just a profound breach with thousands of years of accumulated wisdom: it also set in train the destruction of the natural world.
Taking themes that have been central to the world's religious traditions - from gratitude and compassion to sacrifice and non-violence - Armstrong offers practical steps to help us develop a new mindset to reconnect with nature and rekindle our sense of the sacred.
Sacred Nature reveals the most profound connections between humans and the natural world. It speaks to anyone interested in our relationship with nature, worried about the destruction of our environment, and searching for new ways of thinking to shape the action needed to save our planet.

Lacná kniha Avarpaplan - Kortárs magyar vadászírók 1 (-90%)
"Először arra gondoltam, hogy ebben a könyvben nem lesz előszó. Minek? Úgysem olvassa el senki. Aztán meggyőztek róla, hogy egy valamire való kötetbe mindenképpen kell bevezető. Ekkor - gondoltam - megkérem valamelyik ismerősömet, ugyan már méltassa, ajánlja, kellő mértékben kritizálja megjelenő könyvemet, úgy, ahogyan ő látja. Később ezt az ötletemet elvetettem, mert felrémlett általános iskolai tanulmányaimból - irodalmi művek elemzése kapcsán -, hogy vajon mennyire ferdítheti el a valóságot egy "idegen" elme véleményalkotása. - A szerző úgy gondolta, hogy... Honnan tudná a felkért személy (bármennyire is közel áll hozzám), hogy a szerző - ez esetben én - miképpen gondolkodott, mit érzett, hogy viseltetett annak idején, amikor papírra vetette, egy csokorba foglalta gondolatait ilyen vagy olyan témában? Megsúgom: sehogy! Ebből kiindulva úgy egyeztem meg magammal, hogy ez a feladat - mármint az előszó megírása - rám marad. Mégiscsak én tudom a legjobban, hogy mit gondolok, a többit pedig bízzuk az olvasóra." - (Részlet az Előszóból)

Great Convergence: Information Technology and the New Globalization
The nature of globalization has changed but our thinking about globalization has not. The renowned economist Richard Baldwin argues that the New Globalization is driven by knowledge crossing borders, not just goods. This is why its impact is more sudden, more individual, more unpredictable, and more uncontrollable than before-all of which presents developed nations with unprecedented challenges as they struggle to maintain reliable growth and social cohesion. It is also the driving force behind what Baldwin calls "The Great Convergence," as Asian economies in particular catch up with the West.

Blue Period 8
Winner of the 2020 Manga Taisho Grand Prize! A manga about the struggles and rewards of a life dedicated to art. Popular guy Yatora realizes he's just going through the motions to make other people happy and finds himself in a new passion: painting. But untethering yourself from all your past expectations is dangerous as well as thrilling... Yatora studies hard and gets good grades, and he parties hard, staying out late drinking and watching soccer with his friends. He checks all the boxes he needs to be the perfect high school student. But it all starts to feel empty, and he begins to wonder what part of his life expresses who he is...or even if he has a unique voice at all. Then he wanders into the art room one day, and a lone painting captures his eye, awakening him to a kind of beauty he never knew. Compelled and consumed, he dives in headfirst--and he's about to learn how savage, unforgiving, and exhilirating creating art can be!

Lacná kniha Újra a csúcson!
Az Újra a csúcson! című könyvben Raphael Honigstein újságíró és televíziós szakértő a német labdarúgás közelmúltját dolgozza fel a kilencvenes évek végének kilátástalanságától Götze zseniális megmozdulásáig. Bemutatja, hogyan is ment végbe ez a változás, miként alakult át a németek hatékonyságra alapozó, de szürke és defenzív játékstílusa a 2014-ben látott folyamatos, támadó szellemű futballá. A szerző többek között Kaliforniába, Stuttgartba, Münchenbe, Dortmundba, Dél-Afrikába és a Maracanaba is ellátogatva, a főszereplőkkel készített interjúk segítségével igyekszik felfedni a német labdarúgás sikereinek titkát.
Raphael Honigstein a német labdarúgás legnagyobb szakértője az Egyesült Királyságban. A Guardian és az ESPN újságírójának a német Süddeutsche Zeitungban és a Sport 1-en is rendszeresen jelennek meg cikkei, és gyakran szerepel televíziós szakértőként a BT Sport, az ESPN és a német Sky műsoraiban.

Leonard Cohen
Harry Freedman uncovers the spiritual traditions that lie behind Leonard Cohen's profound and unmistakable lyrics
The singer and poet Leonard Cohen was deeply learned in Judaism and Christianity, the spiritual traditions that underpinned his self-identity and the way he made sense of the world. In this book Harry Freedman, a leading author of cultural and religious history, explores the mystical and spiritual sources Cohen drew upon, discusses their original context and the stories and ideas behind them.
Cohen's music is studded with allusions to Jewish and Christian tradition, to stories and ideas drawn from the Bible, Talmud and Kabbalah. From his 1967 classic 'Suzanne', through masterpieces like 'Hallelujah' and 'Who by Fire', to his final challenge to the divinity, 'You Want It Darker' he drew on spirituality for inspiration and as a tool to create understanding, clarity and beauty.
Born into a prominent and scholarly Jewish family in Montreal, Canada, Cohen originally aspired to become a poet, before turning to song writing and eventually recording his own compositions. Later, he became immersed in Zen Buddhism, moving in 1990 to a Zen monastery on Mount Baldy, California where he remained for some years. He died, with immaculate timing, on the day before Donald Trump was elected in 2016, leaving behind him a legacy that will be felt for generations to come.
Leonard Cohen: The Mystical Roots of Genius looks deeply into the imagination of one of the greatest singers and lyricists of our time, providing a window on the landscape of his soul. Departing from traditional biographical approaches, Freedman explores song by song how Cohen reworked myths and prayers, legends and allegories. By the end the reader will be left with a powerful understanding of Cohen's story, together with a far broader insight into the mystical origins of his inimitable work.
'Leonard Cohen taught us that even in the midst of darkness there is light, in the midst of hatred there is love, with our dying breath we can still sing Hallelujah.' - The late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
'Among the finest volumes on Cohen's life and lyrics ... An exploration which would have intrigued and engaged Leonard himself.' - John McKenna, writer and friend of Leonard Cohen
