Luxury Toys for Men
“It’s a man’s world,” sang James Brown in 1966. Honoring this maxim, this book was made for men who relish the finer things in life. It spans everything from neat technological gimmicks and exclusive watches to extraordinarily fast cars, focusing on exactly the type of luxury that makes the “stronger sex’s” heart beat faster.
Thinking the selection shown in this book consists of mere “luxury” items, however, would be doing it an injustice. Instead, the products put together here are all stunning examples of how emotion and finesse can be combined with spectacular aesthetic purity. Seemingly impossible childhood dreams of adventure on air, land and sea suddenly enter the realm of the possible: diving with sharks, heliskiing on slopes covered with virginal powder snow—even flying into space, thanks to multibillionaire Richard Branson, a high achiever in his own right when it comes to making dreamlike luxury adventures possible, and Virgin Galactic. It goes without saying that finesse plays a major role in this book. After all, men are known to have a thing for details and technological know-how in every aspect of life. But even knowing this, the pages that follow will surely go far beyond most men’s expectations: while a running theme of top-of-the-line high-tech luxury might be anticipated, the sheer grandeur that characterizes many of the products shown here is something that defies the boundaries of imagination.The selection includes, for instance, a number of inimitable timepieces created by the world’s leading watchmakers. These watches combine the incomparable aesthetic elegance of their exterior with technical precision and utmost exclusivity, standing as proof of their owners’ true connoisseurship. Meanwhile, several mega and super yachts leave a lasting impression all of their own with unmatched flair and state-of-the-art technology. The WHY super yacht, designed by yacht maker Wally together with high fashion house Hèrmes, is a prime example. Equipped with an environmentally-conscious thermal system and large solar panels on its roof areas, this one-of-a-kind ship brings a whole new level of sustainability to the luxury market without skimping on high-end comfort. “You see, man made the cars to take us over the road.” A series of high-speed marvels engineered for the road come up with dynamically powerful designs and sports elegance leading the way: for example Mercedes- Benz’s SLS AMG gull-wing triumph and the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible. True: speed and power aren’t everything, but a brief look at the technical specifications of these four-wheeled gems is more than enough to capture anyone’s imagination.
The scope of the products shown throughout this volume represents a veritable kaleidoscope of high-end taste: from the Gold Bike (the name says it all) to luxury jets; from handmade belt buckles to private movie theaters.
“And after man has made everything, everything he can. You know that man makes money

Tvůj stín
Někteří fanoušci jsou ochotni pro své idoly i vraždit…Pro Kayleigh Towneovou, krásnou a úspěšnou zpěvačku, to byla jen rutinní odpověď nadšenému fanouškovi. Pro Edwina Sharpa byl její mail nezpochybnitelným důkazem, že ho Kayleigh miluje. Ano, oni dva jsou spřízněné duše a na tom nic nezmění ani výhrůžné dopisy od jejích právníků, ani předběžná opatření soudu. Edwin o její lásce nepochybuje. A nepochybuje tudíž ani o tom, že svůj poslední hit nazvaný Tvůj stín napsala jen a jen pro něj.Kayleigh se připravuje na koncert ve svém domovském městě a má podivný pocit, že ji někdo sleduje. Co když je to zase ten podivín Edwin? Copak se ho nikdy nezbaví? Ten člověk o ní ví děsivě mnoho a stále podléhá své šílené představě o tom, že si jsou souzeni… Kayleigh to teď ale nemůže řešit, a tak požádá o pomoc svou přítelkyni Kathryn Danceovou.A pak jí kdosi v noci zavolá a do telefonu pustí začátek písničky Tvůj stín. Krátce poté je nalezena zohavená mrtvola člena kapely a způsob, jakým byl hrůzný čin vykonán, evokuje slova první sloky přehraného hitu. Kathryn Danceová velmi dobře ví, že psychopati se nikdy nespokojí s jednou vraždou – a samozřejmě stejně dobře ví, že Tvůj stín má mnohem více než jednu sloku...

Úklady královského dvora
Tudorovská Anglie přála intrikám a vášni. Přála i lásce?Mladá vlámská umělkyně Susanna Horenboutová přijíždí do Anglie na pozvání samotného krále Jindřicha VIII., aby se stala jeho dvorní malířkou. Je plná očekávání a nadějí, které rázem zmaří jediná děsivá událost: kdosi se ji pokusí zabít. Susanna nemá nejmenší tušení, proč jí někdo usiluje o život, a tak vděčně přivítá královo rozhodnutí, že ji od nynějška bude na každém kroku doprovázet osobní ochránce.John Parker je králův oddaný služebník a neúprosný muž. Společně se Susannou se ocitá ve víru tajemného spiknutí, jehož strůjci mají v úmyslu sesadit krále z trůnu. Je odhodlán nalézt zrádce a zároveň splnit vladařův rozkaz, aby půvabné malířce nikdo nezkřivil jediný vlásek.Stopy spiknutí je zavedou do nejvyšších kruhů královského dvora i temných zákoutí přístavních doků a všude se jim do cesty staví intriky a zlá vůle. Zároveň však mezi nimi narůstá důvěra a náklonnost, která pozvolna přerůstá v hluboký cit. Nemilosrdný Parker se po Susannině boku mění v milujícího muže plného touhy, to však nemůže nic změnit na skutečnosti, že dámě jeho srdce kdosi usiluje o život. Chce-li dát lásce šanci, musí zjistit, kdo za vším stojí. A na tudorovském dvoře není o rozmanité úklady věru nouze…

99 rakví
Laura Caxtonová se zapřísáhla, že už s nimi nikdy nechce mít nic společného. Ta hrůza, kterou upíři způsobili, je stále ještě příliš živá, rány příliš čerstvé. Ale když za ní přichází Jameson Arkeley, zlomený a sešlý téměř k nepoznání, a předloží jí
neuvěřitelně děsivý objev, svého rozhodnutí se vzdává.
Arkeley odvádí Caxtonovou do hrobky v Gettysburgu. Ta byla nedávno odkryta místním profesorem archeologie. Toto město sehrálo legendární roli v nejhorší bitvě občanské války, a hřbitovy tu tak ne
jsou ničím zvláštním. Jenomže tenhle je hrozivě odlišný. Je zde uloženo 100 rakví - 99 z nich obývají upíři, kteří však naštěstí postrádají svá srdce. Jenomže jedna z těch rakví je prázdná a rozbitá na kusy.
Kdo je tím chybějícím upírem? Má snad přís

ty obsahují zlověstná tajemství, týkající se znovu objevených rakví - tajemství, která má odhalit Laura Caxtonová tím, že je vržena do hrůzné mise, v které číhá smrt. V ní má zachránit celé město před zničující invazí nemrtvých

Very Small Cafes & Restaurants
Following on from LKP's successful books Micro: Very Small Buidlings, by Ruth Slavid, and Very Small Shops, John Stones turns his attention to eating establishments, focusing on food outlets where there is just enough space to eat. Small food outlets are enjoying an upsurge in the quality of food served and in their eye-catching design. In many of these bijou ventures, especially where food is sold to take away, the graphics, brand identity and packaging are just as important as the interior. All of the establishments featured measure less than 150 square metres indeed, many are much smaller than that so the designers must make a big impact with very little space. Very Small Cafes and Restaurants features around 40 projects from around the world by such designers as Wonderwall, Marti Guixe, Thomas Heatherwick and Ippolito Fleitz Group. Projects are grouped by type of outlet: pizzerias, noodle bars, cafes and coffee shops, ice-cream parlours and delicatessens. This book will be inspirational for designers faced with the challenge of a tiny cafe or restaurant, as well as for independent food retailers looking for fresh new ways to present their product.

Tajemství Sit'n'Go
Sit'n'Go patří v dnešní době mezi jedny z nejpopulárnějších pokerových turnajů. Dalo by se říci, že jsou něco mezi turnajovou hrou a cash game. To, že se hraje v menším počtu hráčů, většinou v devíti nebo desíti (existují však turnaje pro 6 hráčů a také vícestolová Sit'n'Go, většinou pro dvanáct nebo osmnáct hráčů), přináší možnost odehrát větší počet her a dosáhnout větších zisků.
K Sit'n'Go je však nutné přistupovat jiným způsobem než k velkým turnajům pro stovky lidí a také jiným způsobem než ke cash game. Spousta hráčů pravidla Sit'n'Go nedodržuje, a proto nemají šanci na tomto druhu turnajů zbohatnout.
Phil Shaw vám představí strategie, pokročilé techniky, ICM, internetové kalkulátory a programy a v neposlední řadě také na názorných příkladech ukáže, jak správně postupovat v různých situacích. Jak správně zahrát v Sit'n'Go páry? Jak se liší hra na buttonu a na blindech? Jak velikost vašeho a soupeřova stacku ovlivní rozhodování? To vše a mnohem víc se dozvíte v knize Tajemství Sit'n'Go.
Kniha je určena pro pokročilejší hráče, je však opatřena stručným slovníčkem a většina termínů vztahujících se k Sit'n'Go nebo pokročilým technikám je vysvětlena přímo v textu. Pokud se tedy považujete za bystrého začátečníka, není důvod se do této knihy nepustit.

500 Pendants and lockets
One look at these breathtaking suspended neck ornaments, and it’s clear why Lark’s series of jewelry design books has become so wildly popular. Every pendant is a masterful work of art, whether it’s symbolic and purposeful (amulets, talismans, and charms) or purely decorative. Juried by Mike Holmes and Elizabeth Shypertt, co-founders of the esteemed jewelry gallery Velvet da Vinci, this beautiful color collection includes pieces crafted from diverse materials and techniques (including forging, casting, forming, and stone setting). “Fecund,” Tricia Lachowiec’s intricate construction of oxidized sterling silver, electroformed copper, enamel, and resin, is every bit as luscious as its title suggests. In “0210,” Seth Papac constructs a ghostly and atmospheric cityscape out of poplar wood, architectural siding, and building materials, as well as gold, silver, and elastic. Jane Adam’s signature use of softly colored aluminum always astounds, and decidedly so in “Flower Pendant” with its multiple fronds of gracefully arching metal. Jewelers, metalsmiths, and collectors will all find inspiration in these one-of-a-kind works.

For Love and Money
Over the past decade there has been a creative rebirth in the practice of illustration. Boosted by the art worlds acceptance of graffiti and street art, the ubiquitous nature of foolproof vector programs, the re-adoption of illustration by avant-garde fashion labels, the proliferation of character design in two- and three-dimensions, and the technical capabilities of digital delivery, contemporary illustration has more applications, methodologies and fans than ever before. With modes of production ranging from the reimagined traditions of drawing, painting and collage, to the wide range of computer-based applications, and a myriad of unique combinations of both hand and digital means, todays illustrators are breaking the mould in terms of production. This book will investigate these myriad ways of working and creating, by featuring portfolios of images from a diverse range of more than 80 contemporary practitioners, some of whom have never before been featured in a book. Drawn from around the world, each portfolio will be accompanied by analysis and an interview with the illustrator. Building into a collection that showcases new talent and focuses on current trends, this book will offer a definitive guide to illustration in the new millennium.

Bauhaus: A Conceptual Model
Překrásná, hojně ilustrovaná, obsáhlá publikace s více než čtyřmi stovkami barevných ilustrací znovu přehodnocuje historii této školy a její vliv. Text v angličtině. The Bauhaus—founded in Weimar in 1919, located in Dessau beginning in 1925, and closed in Berlin in 1933—continues to be the most effective and successful export article of twentieth-century German culture. Even more than seventy years after it was closed, this interdisciplinary school for art, architecture, design, and theater has not lost any of its currentness. On the occasion of the ninetieth anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus, this profusely illustrated, comprehensive publication with around four hundred color illustrations reexamines and reevaluates the art school’s history and influence. In this collaborative project by the three leading institutes at the former sites of the Bauhaus’s activities—the Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin, the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau, and the Bauhaus-Museum der Klassik Stiftung Weimar—the historic Bauhaus and the trail of its reception are closely examined and analyzed based on sixty-eight selected highlights, including the hitherto neglected aspects of the Bauhaus during the period of National Socialism as well as its international propagation and commercialization.

Fashion 20th Century
The 20th century saw fashion evolve from an exclusive Parisian salon business catering to a wealthy elite, into a global industry employing millions, with new trends whisked into stores before the last model has left the catwalk. Along the way, the signature feminine silhouettes of each era evolved beyond recognition: House of Worth crinolines gave way to Vionnet's bias-cut gowns, Dior's New Look to Quant's Chelsea Look, Halston's white suit to Frankie B.'s low-rise jeans. In menswear, ready-made suits signaled the demise of bespoke tailoring, long before Hawaiian shirts, skinny ties or baggy pants entered the fore.
20th Century Fashion offers a stylish retrospective of the last hundred years, via 400 fashion advertisements from the Jim Heimann Collection. Using imagery culled from a century of advertising, this book documents the unrelenting pace of fashion as it was adopted into the mass culture, decade by decade. An in-depth introduction, chapter text, and illustrated timeline detail the style-makers and trend-setters, from couture to the mass market; and how the historic events, design houses, retailers, films, magazines, and celebrities shaped the way we dressed—then and now.

Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price.

Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
