Schiele
After Egon Schiele (1890-1918) freed himself from the shadow of his mentor and role model Gustav Klimt, he had just ten years to inscribe his signature style into the annals of modernity before the Spanish flu claimed his life. Being a child prodigy quite aware of his own genius and a passionate provocateur, this didn't prove to be too big a challenge.
His haggard, overstretched figures, extreme depiction of sexuality and self-portraits, in which he staged himself with emaciated facial expressions bordering between brilliance and madness, had none of the decorative quality of Klimt's hymns of love, sexuality and yearning devotion. Instead, Schiele's work spoke of a brutal honesty, one that would upset and irreversibly change Viennese society.
Although his works were later defamed as "degenerate" and for a time were almost forgotten altogether, they influenced generations of artists-from Gunter Brus and Francis Bacon to Tracey Emin. Today, his then misunderstood oeuvre continues to fetch exorbitant prices on the international art market.
This monograph, first published in an XL edition, is now available in a slightly abridged, more compact edition to celebrate TASCHEN's 40th anniversary and features the paintings and drawings that retrace the fertile last decade of Schiele's life. These works are accompanied by essays introducing his life and oeuvre, situating the Austrian master in the context of European Expressionism and charting his extraordinary legacy.

Mismatch
Our brains evolved to solve the survival problems of our Stone Age ancestors, so when faced with modern day situations that are less extreme, they often encounter a mismatch. Our primitive brains put us on the wrong foot by responding to stimuli that - in prehistoric times - would have prompted behaviour that was beneficial. If you've ever felt an anxious fight or flight response to a presenting at a board meeting, equivalent to facing imminent death by sabre-toothed tiger, then you have experienced a mismatch. Mismatch is about the clash between our biology and our culture. It is about the dramatic contrast between the first few million years of human history - when humans lived as hunters and gatherers in small-scale societies - and the past twelve thousand years following the agricultural revolution which have led us to comfortable lives in a very different social structure. Has this rapid transition been good for us? How do we, using our primitive minds, try to survive in a modern information society that radically changes every ten years or so? Ronald Giphart and Mark van Vugt show that humans have changed their environment so drastically that the chances for mismatch have significantly increased, and these conflicts can have profound consequences. Reviewed through mismatch glasses, social, societal, and technological trends can be better understood, ranging from the popularity of Facebook and internet porn, to the desire for cosmetic surgery, to our attitudes towards refugees.
Mismatches can also affect our physical and psychological well-being, in terms of our attitudes to happiness, physical exercise, choosing good leaders, or finding ways to feel better at home or work. Finally, Mismatch gives us an insight into politics and policy which could enable governments, institutions and businesses to create an environment better suited to human nature, its potential and its constraints. This book is about converting mismatches into matches. The better your life is matched to how your mind operates, the greater your chances of leading a happy, healthy and productive life.

15 dní so svätou Teréziou z Lisieux
Sv. Terézia od Dieťaťa Ježiša a Svätej Tváre mala len dvadsaťštyri rokov, keď dokonala svoju obetu. Jej život bol malou cestou duchovného detstva, bytostné odovzdanie sa milosrdnej láske Pána, ale tiež zápas o vieru, útrpné hodiny úzkosti a život celkom odovzdaný láske v srdci Cirkvi.
Jej svätosť a veľkosť dosvedčuje: pápež Pius XI. ju v roku 1923 blahorečil, v roku 1925 svätorečil a v roku 1927 ju vyhlásil spolu so sv. Františkom Xaverským za hlavnú patrónku misií. V roku 1944 ju pápež Pius XII. vyhlásil za druhú patrónku Francúzska, spolu so sv. Janou z Arku. Ján Pavol II. ju v roku 1997 vyhlásil za Učiteľku cirkvi. Mons. Pacelli - budúci pápež Pius XII. - ju v roku 1938 nazval najchýrnejšou divotvorkyňou modernej doby.
Prežime 15 dní v duchovnom objatí myšlienok a modlitieb sv. Terézie z Lisieux, nechajme sa nimi inšpirovať a posilniť na svojej osobnej duchovnej ceste.

100 Symbols That Changed the World
100 Symbols That Changed The World looks at the genesis and adoption of the world's most recognizable symbols.
Universal symbols have been used as a form of communication from the Bronze Age, when the dynasties of ancient Egypt began the evolution of the thousand characters used in Egyptian hieroglyphics. In pre-Columbian America the Mayan civilization set out on a similar course, using pictures as a narrative text.
With the adoption of written languages, symbols have come to represent an illustrated shorthand. The dollar sign in America evolved from colonists' trade with the Spanish, and the widespread acceptance of Spanish currency in deals. Merchants' clerks would shorten the repeated entry of "pesos" in their accounts ledgers, which needed to be written with a 'p' and an 's'. A single letter 's' with the vertical stroke of the 'p' was much quicker. Historically correct dollar signs have a single stroke through the 'S'.
Symbols are also used to impart quick, recognizable safety advice. The radio activity symbol was designed in Berkley in 1946 to warn of the dangers of radioactive substances - and following the widespread use of gas masks in WWII, the trefoil symbol echoed the shape of the mask.
There are many symbols of affiliation, not only to religious groups, but support of political causes or even brand loyalty. Symbols are used for identification, military markings and recognition of compatibility. They allow users to convey a large amount of information in a short space, such as the iconography of maps or an electrical circuit diagram. Symbols are an essential part of the architecture of mathematics.
And in the case of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics - the first Games to be held in an Asian country - symbols allowed the organizers to create event signage that wouldn't be lost in translation. The set of Olympic sports pictograms for the Games was a novel solution, and one that was added to in Mexico and Munich.
Organized chronologically, 100 Symbols That Changed The World looks at the genesis and adoption of the world's most recognizable symbols.

Lacná kniha Becoming (-70%)
An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United StatesIn a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America - the first African-American to serve in that role - she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments.
Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare. In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her - from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it - in her own words and on her own terms.
Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations - and whose story inspires us to do the same.

Goddess
The classic, definitive biography of Marilyn Monroe, now updated in the year of the 60th anniversary of the iconic star's death - soon to be a major Netflix film, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Untold Tapes
'Gets as near to the heart of the mystery as anyone ever will' Guardian
More than half a century after her death, Marilyn Monroe is arguably still one of the most famous people in the world. Her life was a contrast of public brilliance and private misery, her death a tragedy suffused by dark questions - about her relations with President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert. Drawing on more than 600 first-hand interviews, Anthony Summers offers the classic, definitive biography of a woman who captivated the world. Marilyn's tragic story is clouded by gossip-reporting more than almost any other. GODDESS, however, delivers new, fully documented yet exciting fact.
Stone Temple Pilots - Thank You 2LP (Blue)
Americká rocková skupina Stone Temple Pilots vznikla ešte pod názvom Mighty Joe Young v roku 1989 v Kalifornii. Po podpise zmluvy s Atlantic Records sa premenovala a hneď s debutovým albumom Core v roku 1992 komerčne uspela. Album, ktorý vo svojej dobe šikovne reflektoval nastupujúce zmeny v rocku a ťažil z popularity subžánru grunge, patrí k najpredávanejším titulom deväťdesiatych rokov. V roku 2002 sa skupina rozpadla a jej členovia sa angažovali v iných projektoch (napr. Velvet Revolver alebo Army Of Anyone), neskôr sa Stone Temple Pilots niekoľkokrát pokúsili o návrat. Ústrednou postavou súboru bol až do roku 2013 spevák Scott Weiland. V kapele krátko pôsobil aj Chester Bennington z Linkin Park. "Thank You" je zbierka najväčších hitov, ktorú vydali Stone Temple Pilots 11. novembra 2003 na Atlantic Records. Z albumu sa predalo viac ako 500 000 kópií. "Thank You" obsahuje väčšinu singlov kapely.

Sklo – socha, objekt, maľba, kresba a fotografia
Sklo je predovšetkým sochársky materiál, aj keď zatiaľ takto nie je primárne chápané. Umožňuje vyjadriť sa v priestore a navyše tento priestor uzamknúť alebo dokonca rozšíriť v samotnej sklenenej hmote. Jednotliví autori ukazujú rôzne spôsoby, ako tento potenciál skla využiť. Sklo je zároveň aj novou možnosťou pre maliarsky prejav, prípadne pre iné výtvarné techniky ako je kresba a fotografia. Vo všetkých prípadoch otvára nové možnosti. Sklo je ako materiál výnimočné a umožňuje realizovať výnimočné vízie.
Glass is mainly a sculptural material, although it has not been primarily perceived in this way yet. It allows the artist to express themselves in space and moreover to lock away or even to extend this space in the glass substance. Individual artist present different ways of using the potential of glass. Glass also provides new possibilities for painting or other artistic techniques like drawing and photography. In any case, glass opens up brand new possibilities. As a material, glass is unique and allows implementing extraordinary visions.
