Living in Morocco
In a Land Not So Far Away
Arabian Nights in contemporary Morocco
Though it lies just across the Mediterranean from Europe, barely a stone's throw from Spain's southernmost tip, Morocco couldn't possibly be farther away.
With its mountainous and desert landscapes, labyrinthine souks, delectable cuisine, exquisite rugs and textiles, vibrant mosaics, fragrant odors, mesmerizing music, and welcoming people, Morocco is a most alluring and tantalizingly exotic destination. Digging a little deeper into the myth of Morocco, Barbara and Rene Stoeltie bring us this eclectic selection of homes to demonstrate all that is most wonderful about the Moroccan style from tiled, turquoise swimming pools and lavish gardens to carved wooden furniture and jade-colored marble fountains.
With more than 500 pages featuring brand new, unpublished photographs, flipping through these fairy tale-like visions of exotic havens (ideally while sipping a steaming cup of sweet, fragrant mint tea) will instantly whisk you away. About the series:

John Derian Picture Book
John Derian's home goods empire reaches for and wide-in addition to the four John Derian stores he owns in New York and Massachussetts, his products are sold by more than 600 retailers worldwide, including Neiman Marcus, ABC, and Gumps in the United States; Conrans and Selfridges in the UK; and Astier de Villatte in Paris. It all started with his now-iconic collectible plates decoupaged with 19th-century artwork sourced from old and rare books, a process that credited him with elevating the decoupage technique into fine art. Over the past 25 years, the brand has expanded greatly to include home and general design gifts and products. From intensely coloured flowers and birds to curious portraits, hand-drawn letters, and breathtaking landscapes, the best of John Derian is here. The result is an oversized object of desire, a work of art in and of itself, that brilliantly walks the line between commerce and art, and that is destined to become the gift book of the season.

I personally have begun to use these mini meditations whenever I just want to feel a mental boost throughout my day. I love the illustrations and Karen's fun and lighthearted voice! I highly recommend this book as a helpful guide to decompress from life's challenges."--Kristine Carlson, New York Times bestselling author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff For Women "If you're feeling stressed and looking for ways to relax and feel focused (and pretty much everybody in today's world is!) well . . . then . . . this book is a game-changer for you.

Man Ray
Rays of Light Man Ray, multitalented master of modernist imagery Man Ray (1890-1976) was a polymath modernist, working in painting, sculpture, film, printmaking, and poetry. But it was his work in photography, with nude studies, fashion work, and portraiture that saw him pioneering a new chapter in the history of camerawork and art. With a wide-ranging collection of both his famous and lesser known works, this monograph gives a vivid overview of Man Ray's multifaceted practice and photographic legacy. It traces Ray from his artistic beginnings in New York through to his central role in the Parisian avant-garde, where he featured in the first Surrealist exhibition with Jean Arp, Max Ernst, Andre Masson, Joan Miro, and Pablo Picasso and produced such now iconic works as Noire et blanche and Le Violon d'Ingres. Through numerous examples of still life, portraiture, and beyond, we see how Ray constantly experimented with new techniques, pushing photography out of its documentary domain into ethereal, poetic expressions through multiple exposure, solarization, and the particular brand of photograms he wittily termed "rayography."Text in English, French, and German

Spriateliť sa so svojimi túžbami
Túžbu často chápeme ako niečo, čoho sa treba zbaviť, často sa nám totiž vymyká spod kontroly. Preto za istú cestu k duchovného rastu považujeme skôr povinnosť či vernosť očakávaniam iných alebo sebazaprenie. Nemyslia si to však niektorí veľkí cirkevní učitelia a majstri duchovného života, ako sv. Terézia z Avily, sv. Ján z Kríža a sv. Ignác z Loyoly. Ten, kto spoznáva svoju najhlbšiu túžbu, spoznáva sám seba a v hĺbke svojho najvnútornejšieho „ja“ zisťuje, že jeho správna a najhlbšia túžba sa zhoduje s Božou túžbou v ňom. Je Boh Bohom túžby, alebo Bohom bez vášní? Aké miesto má eros v Božom pláne s túžbami? Patrí sexualita len do charakteristík tohto sveta, alebo má niečo spoločné so spiritualitou? V čase, keď mnohí kresťania považujú sex za nevyhnutné zlo, a nie za Boží dar, z ktorého sa máme tešiť, autor ukazuje, že prežívanie sexuality v Božom poriadku nám pomáha prežívať Božiu lásku.

River Cottage Easy
How often have you wished there was a magic formula to make cooking easier? Well, there is. Put just three good things together on a plate and, somehow, the whole is always greater and more delicious than the sum of its parts. Well, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has worked out those combinations that make magic. Salty, sweet, crunchy. Sharp, rich, crumbly. Hot, bland, crisp. Think scones with jam and cream, fish and chips with mushy peas, or porridge with golden syrup and cream.
Hugh has created more than 175 inspiring recipes, both well-loved classics and brand new ideas, based on trios like squash, ricotta and ham; aubergine, tomatoes and chickpeas; clams, tomatoes and garlic; chicken, tomatoes and tarragon; pork, potatoes and apples; pasta, courgettes and mozzarella; strawberries, cream and shortbread; and chocolate, ginger and digestives ... The list goes on.
The book also features a storecupboard standbys section, which is perfect for demystifying what essentials we actually need to create simple, satisfying meals with minimum effort and maximum taste.

Toldi
Arany Toldiját sokan illusztrálták, de arany Toldit még senki sem. Az arany a mesehős, a naphérosz színe. Ez illik a magyar Héraklészhez, vagy, ha jobban tetszik, Herculeshez. Toldi Miklós nem suttyó falusi legényke lenne? Hát az olyan mesehősök, mint a Világhírű Kis Miklós, Aranyhajú Kis Miklós, Erős Jankó, a finn Kullervo micsodák? Parasztlegények, egyszersmind naphéroszok. Arany János sokat tudott erről, tessék csak figyelmesen olvasni remekművét. Vajon miért tagolta épp 12 énekre a hónapok száma szerint? Mitől emberfeletti erejű ez a kis legény, akinek még legénytoll sem pelyhedzik az állán? Puszta kézzel dönti földre a megvadult bikát, akár a táltosok. Miért szorul bele annyi düh, amennyi csak a pusztító Napba? És annyi igazságérzet, mint a mindent látó napistenekbe? Hogy képes egy ültő helyében annyi húst magába tömni, annyi bort ledönteni a torkán, amennyit a görög Héraklész vagy a Nagyevő szokott?" (Jankovics Marcell)

Communication Design
The success of a piece of communication has always been dependent on the connection between content, form, audience and context - what the message is, who it's aimed at, what it looks like, and how and where it's communicated. In recent years the balance between these elements has shifted. This book bridges the gap between education and emerging practices to provide students and practitioners with the information they need to understand the new skillsets required to succeed in this changing communication environment. Organized into themes of brand, experience, conversation, participation, navigation, advocacy and critique, it explores the core ideas shaping contemporary practice. Alongside case studies of game changing projects, it uses analysis of historical context and interviews with key thinkers and practitioners to provide a relevant and contemporary guide to the creative employment landscape.

Neither Here, Nor There
Bill Bryson's first travel book, The Lost Continent, was unanimously acclaimed as one of the funniest books in years. In Neither Here nor There he brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backback, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before. Whether braving the homicidal motorists of Paris, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant or window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations. He even goes to Liechtenstein.

Talking Dirty
"Women should be obscene and not heard". (John Lennon). "The only unnatural act is that which you cannot perform". (Alfred Kinsey). "Fat people are brilliant in bed: if I'm sitting on top of you, who's going to argue?" (Jo Brand). "What most women want is not a man who ties you to the bed but one who unstacks the dishes while you watch The Great British Bake Off". (Harriet Harman). Throughout the centuries, talk of sex has proved irresistible, producing wide-ranging responses, contradictory remarks, denouncements and appraisals; something seen as harmless by one is often condemned as damnable by another. Whatever your sexual preferences, Talking Dirty is a hugely entertaining treasury of wit on this endlessly entertaining and controversial topic.
