Válka za studena - Serving it cold
Poprvé knižně publikovaný soubor Válka za studena je podobenstvím o kroužení kolem jádra nicoty. Fotografie ze základní vojenské služby v Československé lidové armádě obnažují svět mužů zavlečených do pasti, jíž je hra na vojáky. Původní postřehy Josefa Mouchy působí s odstupem let jako přízračné schválnosti, inscenované s početným komparsem v nákladných kulisách. Ve skutečnosti jsou záběry z počátku osmdesátých let nepřikrášleně realistickým pohledem zevnitř.
Autorem zasvěcené předmluvy je renomovaný fotograf a znalec historie fotografie Vladimír Birgus: Právě komplexnost Mouchova fotografického deníku z vojny přispívá k tomu, že jeho fotografie vyvolávají u každého, kdo prožil základní vojenskou službu za vlády komunistů, celý gejzír vzpomínek, uvádí. Je to mnohovrstevnatý pohled na vojenskou službu v době husákovské normalizace, jaký svou kvalitou, rozsahem a autentičností nemá na naší poválečné fotografické scéně obdoby. Dlouhým odstupem ještě vynikl jeho význam, protože není jenom fotografickým deníkem jednoho nedobrovolného vojáka, ale i zobecňujícím svědectvím o tehdejší době i o konfliktu mezi individualitou a totalitou.
This is the first publication in book form of the photographic set Serving It Cold: Photographs from Basic Training in the Czechoslovak Peoples Army. It is a parable about whirling round a core of nothingness. The photographs reveal the world of men dragged into a trap that pretends to be a game about being soldiers. Today, many years after they were first taken, these original photographs by Josef Moucha seem like ghostly dirty tricks, staged with numerous extras in expensive stage sets. In fact, they are shots taken at the start of the 1980s, an unembellished, realistic look from inside.
The photographs are introduced by Vladimír Birgus, a respected photographer and expert on photography: It is the complexity of Mouchas photographic diary from the army which contributes to his photographs evoking a geyser of recollections in everyone who experienced compulsory military service under Communist rule. Unique amongst Czech documentary photographs, he remarks, the set provides a many-layered view of compulsory military service in the years of the restored hard-line Communist regime, after the crushing of the Prague Spring reform movement in August 1968. In quality, size, and authenticity it is unparalleled in Czech post-war photography. [...] Their importance has become more evident with the passing of so many years, because they are not only the photographic diary of one conscript; they are also wide-ranging testimony about that period and about the conflict between individualism and totalitarianism.

Arthur, The Amazing Mantis
A Soulful Story for Nature Lovers of All Ages
This is the story about a relationship between an insect and a human being. It is a story of serendipity and delight, respect and wonder, and the ultimate understanding that we are all truly connected by an invisible and sacred web.
A praying mantis mysteriously dropped from above one early October day. I named him Arthur. He spent almost a month with me, and during that time we formed a mutually curious and tender bond. The photographs I made when we were together became the inspiration to share this story, a soulful, quiet account of our connection.
Arthur, the Amazing Mantis is a beautifully told story of two gentle souls that find one another, connecting through spirit and the universal language of love. It took me back to a place of childlike innocence and remembering the simple, sacred, quiet aspects of life that if we are moving too fast may go unnoticed. —Amy Norris
By taking the time to carefully observe and connect with a tiny creature that so many of us would have overlooked, Elsa Kendall has given us a magically microcosmic story of love, purpose, loss, and transcendence. Her heartfelt story and beautiful "be-here-now" documentary photographs powerfully connect the reader to little Arthur, the truly amazing mantis — and to a world of wonder available to all of us if we just take the time to slow down, stop, look and care. —George Lawrence

Pavel Nešleha Stopy síly - Traces Of Force
Přítomná kniha Petra Wittlicha, nazvaná Stopy síly, poskytuje pronikavý vhled do fotografické tvorby malíře Pavla Nešlehy (1937 – 2003) a citlivě obnažuje její myšlenkovou podstatu. Vede nás napříč umělcovými cykly z let 1971–2002, jejichž motivickým těžištěm se pod vlivem umělcova romantického založení stávaly procesy přírodních dějů, krajinné scenérie, přírodní struktury a tvářnost mizejících památek prostoupených kulturní tradicí a osudy člověka. Dle příběhu autorovy studie jsou voleny takové záběry, jež podněcovaly umělcovu tvůrčí imaginaci a probouzely vzpomínky na cosi dávného a podstatného, co přispívalo k prohloubení duchovní báze jeho díla a napomáhalo artikulovat hledání i nalézání.
Petr Wittlich’s Traces of Force is an insightful exploration of the photographic work of painter Pavel Nešleha (1937 – 2003) that sensitively uncovers the artist’s fundamental way of thinking and seeing. Wittlich guides the reader through Nešleha’s artistic cycles from 1971–2002, whose central motifs – influenced by the artist’s Romantic disposition – included natural processes, landscape sceneries, structures found in nature, and disappearing monuments imbued with cultural tradition and human history. In accordance with his study’s narrative, Wittlich has chosen those images that stimulated Nešleha’s artistic imagination and awakened memories of something ancient and elemental that contributed to deepening the spiritual foundation of his work and helped to articulate his searching and finding.

Simple Step To Transform Your Body In 28 Days!
Before we even get started, there are a few important things that need to be stated. Losing weight is a mind game. If you change
your mind, you’ll change your body. It’s inevitable.
When we say “change your mind”, it doesn’t mean changing your mind from eating cookies to gobbling cake.
What we’re talking about here is the mindset behind all weight loss. It doesn’t matter what your age or sex is... the principles are the same.
First, you need to stop hating your body. Way too many women have negative images of themselves. They feel that they’re fat and ugly while all the other women are better.
You may have coveted the ‘thigh gap’ but can’t even find clothes your size at The Gap.
“Why can’t I look like her?”... “It sucks being me!”... “I have horrible fatty genes!”

Juno Rising
A prisoner, a secret he can't remember, and the military force that will destroy planets to get their hands on it.
When Fabio Velazquez arrives on the secretive military base on Jupiter's moon Io, he knows two things: one, that he's had his memories erased and two, that he has a secret. Except because of point one, he can't remember what point two is.
The portents aren't good: he's hated by his fellow soldiers, responsible for "the greatest f***-up in military history", traitor and human guinea pig. Yet, he managed to be trusted with a secret so big that the military has almost killed him and still haven't gotten their hands on it. Where is it, and who does it belong to?
His nickname might be Escape Artist, but in the hostile environment of Io there is no escaping punishment. Or so the military thinks, but they're not the only ones interested in him.
A secret base lurks in the cloud tops of Jupiter. They watch. They wait. They will strike.

Snow flower and the secret...
In nineteenth-century China, in a remote Hunan county, a girl named Lily, at the tender age of seven, is paired with a laotong, “old same,” in an emotional match that will last a lifetime. The laotong, Snow Flower, introduces herself by sending Lily a silk fan on which she’s painted a poem in nu shu, a unique language that Chinese women created in order to communicate in secret, away from the influence of men. As the years pass, Lily and Snow Flower send messages on fans, compose stories on handkerchiefs, reaching out of isolation to share their hopes, dreams, and accomplishments. Together, they endure the agony of foot-binding, and reflect upon their arranged marriages, shared loneliness, and the joys and tragedies of motherhood. The two find solace, developing a bond that keeps their spirits alive. But when a misunderstanding arises, their deep friendship suddenly threatens to tear apart.
