Of Women - In the 21st Century
This book starts from the position that gender injustice is the greatest human rights abuse on the planet. It blights First and developing worlds; rich and poor women. Gender injustice impacts health, wealth, education, representation, opportunity and security everywhere. It is no exaggeration to describe the position of women as an apartheid, but it is not limited to one country or historical period. For this ancient and continuing wrong is millennial in duration and global in reach. Only radical solutions can even scratch its surface. However, the prize is a great one: the collateral benefits to peace, prosperity, sustainability and general human happiness are potentially enormous. All this because we are all interconnected and all men are of women too.

The glass of the architects: Vienna 1900-1937
The second catalog dedicated to international developments in twentieth- century glass, after Glass from Finland in the Bischofberger Collection.
Published in collaboration with the MAK Vienna and LE STANZE DEL VETRO on the occasion of the exhibition in Venice, this volume presents over 300 works from the collection of the MAK Austrian Museum of Applied Arts/Contemporary Art in Vienna and private collections. It focuses, for the first time, on the history of glassmaking in Austria from 1900 to 1937, a period spanning the last decades of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the First Republic.
In the early twentieth century, a group of young architects, designers, and fine arts and architecture students developed a special interest in the process of glassmaking. They paved the way to the first pioneering developments in twentieth-century glass production as they gained a thorough understanding of the material. The collaboration between architects and designers created the style of Viennese glass, found in new projects such as the Wiener Werkstätte or the Austrian Werkbund.

A celebration of the transformative power of love, Lucy Maud Montgomery's beloved children's classic is a brilliantly warm and funny portrait of a girl who has a second chance at childhood.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
A special new edition in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, with a stunning new cover illustration by Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the pivotal fourth novel in the seven-part tale of Harry Potter's training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal - even by wizarding standards.
And in this case, different can be deadly.
This gorgeous new edition in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone features a newly designed cover illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick, as well as the beloved original interior decorations by Mary GrandPré.

Poison of Love
"Az ember hajlamos mindent megtenni azért, hogy megvédje, akit szeret. Hadd meséljek el egy történetet arról, hogyan tettem tönkre imádott énekesem és egy komplett rockbanda karrierjét. Az univerzum rendjének felborításáról már nem is beszélve." Natalie Bat, azízig-vérig rocker kamaszlány bármit megtenne azért, hogy találkozhasson kedvenc rockbandája, a Poison of Love imádott énekesével, Adrian Arronnal. A bármit pedig igen tág fogalom, kiváltképp, ha az ember édesapja egy időgépen dolgozik egy kétes hátterű cégnél. Így történhet, hogy Nat egy osztályba kerül rajongása tárgyával, a leendő rocksztárral. Adrian azonban tinédzserként közel sem olyan, amilyennek egy szerelmes rajongó a hírhedt frontembert képzeli. 1999-ben még nyoma sincs letölthető mobilalkalmazásoknak, a slágerlistákat popbandák uralják, a képregényhősökért rajongók egytől egyig csodabogárnak számítanak. Valaki pedig mindvégig a fiatalokon tartja a szemét, mert pontosan tudja, mihez vezethetnek a meggondolatlan, tizenéves Natalietettei...
