Zdravotná technika
Zdravotná technika alebo inými slovami zdravotnotechnické inštalácie sú spolu s vykurovaním a vzduchotechnikou neoddeliteľnou súčasťou technických zariadení budov. Nosným obsahom zdravotnej techniky je zásobovanie budov vodou, odkanalizovanie a tiež zásobovanie budov plynom.
Vzhľadom na to, že posledná kmeňová literatúra z oblasti zdravotnej techniky bola vydaná v roku 2005 kolektívom autorov pod vedením nestora zdravotnej techniky na Slovensku - prof. Ing. Jaroslava Valáška, PhD., s názvom Zdravotnotechnické zariadenia a inštalácie v slovenskej aj českej verzii, bolo naším cieľom ponúknuť najnovšie aktuálne technické poznatky a prezentovať nové metodiky návrhu vodovodu, kanalizácie a plynovodu v budovách. Publikácia je rozšírená aj o problematiku rozvodov vody na hasenie v budovách a o progresívne systémy prípravy teplej vody a ich navrhovanie. Vzhľadom na revízie kmeňových národných noriem - STN 73 6655 Vodovody v budovách a STN 73 6760 Kanalizácia v budovách, ktoré boli prepracované podľa súborov európskych noriem STN EN 806 (časti 1 až 5) Technické podmienky na zhotovovanie vodovodných potrubí na pitnú vodu vnútri budov a STN EN 12056 (časti 1 až 5) Gravitačné kanalizačné systémy vnútri budov a tiež nových platných zákonov a vyhlášok, bolo nutné prepracovať celú problematiku dimenzovania vodovodov a kanalizácie v budovách tak, aby boli v súlade s uvedenými predpismi.
Predkladaná odborná publikácia je určená širokej odbornej verejnosti z oblasti technických zariadení budov, projektantom zdravotnej techniky, stavebným inžinierom, realizátorom a tiež prevádzkovateľom budov v oblasti TZB. Takisto je určená študentom stavebných fakúlt a architektúry, študentom v odbore Stavebníctvo, ako napríklad študentom na študijných programoch Pozemné stavby a architektúra, Technické zariadenia budov, Technológie a manažérstvo stavieb a podobne.
Publikácia predkladá podrobné podklady a teóriu navrhovania vodovodu, kanalizácie a plynovodu v budovách.

Turner - The Extraordinary Life and Momentous Times of J.M.W. Turner
The extraordinary life of J. M. W Turner, one of Britain's most admired, misunderstood and celebrated artists J. M. W. Turner is Britain's most famous landscape painter. Yet beyond his artistic achievements, little is known of the man himself and the events of his life: the tragic committal of his mother to a lunatic asylum, the personal sacrifices he made to effect his stratospheric rise, and the bizarre double life he chose to lead in the last years of his life. A near-mythical figure in his own lifetime, Franny Moyle tells the story of the man who was considered visionary at best and ludicrous at worst. A resolute adventurer, he found new ways of revealing Britain to the British, astounding his audience with his invention and intelligence. Set against the backdrop of the finest homes in Britain, the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution, this is an astonishing portrait of one of the most important figures in Western art and a vivid evocation of Britain and Europe in flux. Set against this spectacular and ultimately controversial career, Moyle also excavates the private Turner. Psychologically wounded as a child, by a family torn apart by death and mental illness, she suggests a man who could not embrace relationships fully until the very end of his life. Only then did he succumb to his love for the widowed Sophia Booth, concealing this all too human aspect of his life behind an assumed identity. She mines the poignancy of his final years, when, with his health ailing, Turner sought solace in a secret private life that had eluded him before and that he knew would scandalise the new generation of Victorians.

Billie Holiday: The Musician and the Myth
Published in celebration of Holiday s centenary, the first biography to focus on the singer s extraordinary musical talent When Billie Holiday stepped into Columbia s studios in November 1933, it marked the beginning of what is arguably the most remarkable and influential career in twentieth-century popular music. Her voice weathered countless shifts in public taste, and new reincarnations of her continue to arrive, most recently in the form of singers like Amy Winehouse and Adele. Most of the writing on Holiday has focused on the tragic details of her life her prostitution at the age of fourteen, her heroin addiction and alcoholism, her series of abusive relationships or tried to correct the many fabrications of her autobiography. But now, "Billie Holiday "stays close to the music, to her performance style, and to the self she created and put into print, on record and on stage. Drawing on a vast amount of new material that has surfaced in the last decade, critically acclaimed jazz writer John Szwed considers how her life inflected her art, her influences, her uncanny voice and rhythmic genius, a number of her signature songs, and her legacy."

Scale in Contemporary Sculpture: Enlargement, Miniaturisation and the Life-Size
The first book to devote serious attention to questions of scale in contemporary sculpture, this study considers the phenomenon within the interlinked cultural and socio-historical framework of the legacies of postmodern theory and the growth of global capitalism. In particular, the book traces the impact of postmodern theory on concepts of measurement and exaggeration, and analyses the relationship between this philosophy and the sculptural trend that has developed since the early 1990s. Rachel Wells examines the arresting international trend of sculpture exploring scale, including American precedents from the 1970s and 1980s and work by the 'Young British Artists'. Noting that the emergence of this sculptural trend coincides with the end of the Cold War, Wells suggests a similarity between the quantitative ratio of scale and the growth of global capitalism that has replaced the former status quo of qualitatively opposed systems. This study also claims the allegorical nature of scale in contemporary sculpture, outlining its potential for critique or complicity in a system dominated by quantitative criteria of value. In a period characterised by uncertainty and incommensurability, Wells demonstrates that scale in contemporary sculpture can suggest the possibility of, and even an unashamed reliance upon, comparison and external difference in the construction of meaning.

Bloodlands - Europe between Hitler and Stalin
Under Hitler and Stalin the Nazi and Soviet regimes murdered fourteen million people in the bloodlands between Berlin and Moscow.
The killing fields extended from central Polads to western Russia. For twelve savage years, on this bloodsoaked soil an average of one million individuals - mostly women, children and the aged - were murdered every year. Though in 1939 these lands became battlefields, not one of these fourteen million was killed in combat. They were victims of a murderous policy, not casualties of war.
Int his deeply unsettling and revelatory book, Timothy Snyder gives voice to the testimony of the victims through the letters home, the notes flung from trains, the diaries on corpses. It is a brilliantly researched, profoundly humane and authoritative bok that demands we pay attention to those that history is in danger of forgetting.

Astrology, Magic, and Alchemy in Art
From antiquity to the Enlightenment, astrology, magic, and alchemy have always been considered important tools in unravelling the mysteries of nature and human destiny. As a result of the West's exposure to the astrological beliefs of Arab philosophers and the mystical writings of late antiquity, these occult traditions became rich sources of inspiration for Western artists.This latest volume in the "Guide to Imagery" series, presents an intelligent analysis of occult iconography in many of the great masterpieces of Western art - from the astrological symbols that decorated churches and illuminated manuscripts, through the work of a wide range of Renaissance artists, including Bosch, Brueghel, Durer and Caravaggio, to the visionary works of nineteenth-century artists, such as Fuseli and Blake, as well as in the creative output of the Surrealists during the twentieth century.
