In this book the reader will find the best resources and images that will allow him to widen his vision of the fashion design creative process. With the support of more than 100 experts and stylists, and including more than 500 photos and drawings made by some of the best-known international fashion designers, this book looks through all the basic steps of the fashion creative process: from the compilation of references and the first sketches to the selection of the right fabric, pattern design, choice of color and the creation of the silhouette.

Save It for Later: Promises, Protest, and Parenthood
From Nate Powell, the National Book Award-winning artist of March, a
collection of graphic nonfiction essays about living in a new era of
necessary protest
In this anthology of seven comics essays,
author and graphic novelist Nate Powell addresses living in an era of
what he calls "necessary protest." Save It for Later: Promises, Protest, and the Urgency of Protest is
Powell's reflection on witnessing the collapse of discourse in real
time while drawing the award-winning trilogy March, written by
Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, this generation's preeminent
historical account of nonviolent revolution in the civil rights
movement. Powell highlights both the danger of normalized paramilitary
presence symbols in consumer pop culture, and the roles we play
individually as we interact with our communities, families, and society
at large.
Each essay tracks Powell's journey from the night of the
election-promising his four-year-old daughter that Trump will never win,
to the reality of the Republican presidency, protesting the
administration's policies, and navigating the complications of teaching
his children how to raise their own voices in a world that is becoming
increasingly dangerous and more and more polarized. While six of the
seven essays are new, unpublished work, Powell has also included "About
Face," a comics essay first published by Popula Online that swiftly went viral and inspired him to expand his work on Save It for Later. The
seventh and final essay will contextualize the myriad events of 2020
with the previous four years-from the COVID-19 pandemic to global
protests in the wake of George Floyd's murder to the 2020 presidential
election itself-highlighting both the consistencies and inversions of
widely shared experiences and observations amidst a massive social
upheaval.
As Powell moves between subjective and objective
experiences raising his children-depicted in their childhood innocence
as imaginary anthropomorphic animals-he reveals the electrifying sense
of trust and connection with neighbors and strangers in protest. He also
explores how to equip young people with tools to best make their own noise as they grow up and help shape the direction and future of this country.

Lacná kniha Cranford (-90%)
A man ...is so in the way in the house!' A vivid and affectionate portrait of a provincial town in early Victorian England, Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford describes a community dominated by its independent and refined women. Undaunted by poverty, but d
ismayed by changes brought by the railway and by new commercial practices, the ladies of Cranford respond to disruption with both suspicion and courage. Miss Matty and her sister Deborah uphold standards and survive personal tragedy and everyday dram
as; innovation may bring loss, but it also brings growth, and welcome freedoms. Cranford suggests that representatives of different and apparently hostile social worlds, their minds opened by sympathy and suffering, can learn from each other. Its soc
ial comedy develops into a study of generous reconciliation, of a kind that will value the past as it actively shapes the future. This edition includes two related short pieces by Gaskell, 'The Last Generation in England' and 'The Cage at Cranford',
as well as a selection from the diverse literary and social contexts in which the Cranford tales take their place.

Addig se iszik
"Mikor a szerzőt megismertem, még nagyképűen vallotta: "Hárman nem írunk: Szókratész, Jézus és én." Aztán megtört, és írni kezdett, paródiákat, persze - és megállt a kanál a levesben, de úgy, hogy a fal adta másikat. Úgy vágytunk erre a hangra ebben a karót nyelt, szürke, humordeficites honi literatúrában, mint egy falat kenyérre. Bödőcs írásaiban a páratlan irodalmi műveltség találkozik az igazi humorral Karinthy boncasztalán. Apját kérdezték, mit szól, hogy fia már ír is. "Addig se iszik" - válaszolta a bölcs öreg, és igaza volt: Tibor írás közben sose iszik. (Hmm...) Mert ilyen az irodalom: nevel, tanít, szórakoztat - és amíg írunk vagy olvasunk, addig se iszunk. Tisztelet a kivételnek. Fogadják tehát szeretettel az irodalmi paródia Lemmyjét, a magyar humor Billy, a Kölyökjét, a búcsúszentlászlói Rabelais-t. "Tessék mosolyogni!" "

Nevezd csak szeretetnek
Egyetlen könyvet ismerek behatóan, azaz mindennel együtt, ami és aki vagyok: a Bibliát. Szilánkos töredékek és nagy ívű elbeszélések, istentelen családtörténetek és sötét szerelmek: egy cenzúrázatlan, véres és boldog megváltástörténet dokumentuma, aminek már a gyermekkoromban saját jogú szereplőjévé lettem. Esténként, fogságunk éveiben anyám nyitotta meg a könyvet, és a petróleumlámpa ugráló lángjánál felolvasta a napi szakaszt, én meg minden szavát értettem. Egyiptom, igen, itt élünk most, a szolgaság házában. A Vörös-tenger pedig, igen, a szétterülő Duna kiismerhetetlen deltája. Apám meg, ez a szép tekintetű Mózes, akit én nem ismertem, majd eljön, és kivezet bennünket innen, most még a magányos csipkebokor lángra lobbanását és a tűzből beszélő Mindenható rejtélyes utasításait várja, egy kietlen és puszta börtöncellában, valahol. És úgy lőn minden, tökéletesen, az Írás szerint. De utána újabb, ismeretlen egyiptomok és némaságba burkolózott csipkebokrok állták el az utat, és még csak nem is odakünn. Megnyitom, elolvasom, hangos szóval, a napi szakaszt. És írom, tovább, az egyetlen könyvet.

Századosok
1939. január 15-én a budapesti Ludovika Akadémián honvéd hadnaggyá avattak százhatvan férfit. Mindannyian az első világháború éveiben születtek. A második végére – már aki megérte, mert közülük minden negyedik meghalt – századosok lettek. Egy vert sereg katonáiként érte őket 1945. Újra kellett kezdeni az életüket. Ez a könyv róluk szól – a századosok történeteiről a 20. században.
Rainer M. János (1957) történész, az OSZK 1956-os Intézet – Oral History Archívum vezetője, az egri Eszterházy Károly Egyetem professzora.

Nauka o půdě
Kniha Nauka o půdě autorů Prof. Ing. Klementa Rejška, CSc., profesora Ústavu geologie a pedologie Mendelovy univerzity v Brně, a Doc. Ing. Radima Váchy, PhD., ředitele Výzkumného ústavu meliorací a ochrany půdy, v.v.i., předkládá moderně pojatou syntézu vlastností a procesů v půdě na straně jedné a využívání a ochrany půdy na straně druhé. Daný koncept nauky o půdě je v české literatuře ojedinělý a reflektuje současný stupeň poznání tohoto důležitého oboru v současné světové literatuře.
Kniha je napsána pro velmi široký okruh čtenářů. Přáním autorů bylo, aby si v ní našli svůj předmět zájmu jak běžní majitelé polností, lesů a zahrádek, tak i vysokoškolští studenti a odborná veřejnost jako taková. S tímto cílem je pak kniha upravena jak co do obsahu, tak co do formy: ta je ostatně zajímavá použitím barevných fotografi í, tabulkami a původními obrázky, ilustrujícími inspirativnost poznání dějů v „hlíně, z níž rostou rostliny“.
Přinášet aktuální pohled na nauku o půdě dnes nestačí: to, co je skutečně moderní a odpovídá třetímu tisíciletí je interdisciplinární pohled na interakci půdy a rostliny a to včetně ochrany půdy. A tento pohled musí být přitom prezentovaný tak, aby si něm své našli jak ti, co se o problematiku půdy dlouhodobě zajímají, tak i běžný čtenář, který by prostě jen rád věděl, co je například pravdy na tom, že když dlouhodobě nehnojí kompostem ze svého zahradního kompostéru, tak mu po pracném zalití jeho zahrádky půda takřka okamžitě vyschne. Odpovědi na tyto a desítky dalších podobných otázek přináší právě tato nová kniha.
Svým obsahem, významem, zaměřením kniha přispěje také i k současné problematice týkající se sucha, hospodaření s vláhou, půdou, ochranou půdního fondu.

OWC Study in Scarlet
The very first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet was also the first of Conan Doyle's books to be published. His two creations, Holmes, the master of the science of detection and Watson, the great detective's faithful companion, are immediatel
y in fine form. The mystery itself, its solution plucked unerringly by Holmes from the heart of Victorian London, proves to be the inevitable consequence of a tragedy of the American West. The story is harrowing in its alternating hope and despair, a
lthough Holmes himself was later to complain that the book `produces much the same effect as if you worked a love-story or an elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid'.
