A World of Three Zeroes
A Nobel Peace Prize-winner outlines his radical economic vision for a better future.
Muhammad Yunus is the economist who invented microcredit, founded Grameen Bank, and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for his work towards alleviating poverty. Here, he proposes his vision for a new kind of capitalism, where altruism and generosity are valued as much as profit making, and where individuals not only have the capacity to lift themselves out of poverty, but also to affect real change for the planet and its people.
A World of Three Zeroes offers a challenge to young people, business and political leaders, and ordinary citizens everywhere to improve the world for everyone before it's too late.

The Laws of Human Nature
Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves.
We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defence.
The Song of Kieu: A New Lament
Ever since it exploded into Vietnam's cultural life two centuries ago, The Song of Kieu has been one of that nation's most beloved and defining central myths. It recounts the tragic fate of the beautiful singer and poet Kieu, who agrees to marry to save her family from debt but is tricked into working in a brothel. Over the course of a swift-moving story involving kidnap, war, jealous wives and rebel heroes, she will become a queen, wife, nun, slave, victim and avenger, surviving through the strength of her words and her wits alone.
Translated with an introduction by Timothy Allen

Hockney / Van Gogh - The Joy of Nature
Landscape has become an important theme for David Hockney, especially since he returned to his homeland, the Yorkshire Wolds, in the 1990s. The landscapes in this catalgoue show a series of in-depth observations of the changing seasons and the way in which light, space and nature are constantly in motion. They are reminiscent of the landscapes of Vincent van Gogh, including his monumental Wheatfield with Crows and The Harvest. This book pays particular attention to these beautiful landscapes alongside Van Gogh's depiction of nature, with a special focus on technique, perspective and colour, and the way Van Gogh and Hockney use these 'formal' elements to create their particular view on the world surrounding them.
The book includes an exclusive interview with David Hockney about the inspiration he has found in Van Gogh's work.

Nákup a predaj
Cieľom publikácie je prispieť k poznaniu nákupu a predaja priemyselných podnikov ako základných obchodných funkcií podnikov, ich hlbších súvislostí, k vymedzeniu podstatných určení koncepcií nákupu a predaja, k pochopeniu potreby komplexnejšieho pohľadu na danú problematiku, a tým aj k vymedzeniu jej špecifických stránok. Má pomôcť pri prekonávaní niektorých zjednodušených interpretácií nákupu a predaja. Zároveň má ambíciu podporiť názor, podľa ktorého aplikácia marketingového prístupu v danej problematike vyžaduje zmenu kultúry v priemyselných podnikoch, a upozorniť na niektoré vzťahy a mechanizmy, ktoré môžu byť zdrojom zisku podniku. Učebnica prisudzuje veľký význam hľadaniu a realizácii obojstranne výhodných kooperatívnych vzťahov zákazník – dodávateľ. Aj napriek nedostatku štatistických údajov možno konštatovať, že v súčasnosti dochádza k rastúcemu trendu spolupráce medzi malými, strednými a veľkými podnikmi v rámci štátu a v medzinárodnom meradle. Rozvoj týchto možností spolupráce posilňuje nutnosť iných spôsobov vo vzťahoch medzi podnikmi, než sú jednoduché výmenné vzťahy. Učebnica je vhodná nielen pre študentov a učiteľov, ktorí v nej nájdu štruktúrovaný a didaktický manuál orientovaný na problematiku obchodných aktivít priemyselných podnikov, ale aj pre zamestnancov a manažérov podnikov, ktorí v nej nájdu odpovede na otázky v súvislosti s užitočnosťou praktizovania teoretických prístupov z oblasti nákupu a predaja.
Genesis On the Deep Origin of Societies
Of all species that have ever existed on earth, only one has reached human levels of intelligence and social organisation: us. Why? In Genesis, celebrated biologist Edward O. Wilson traces the great transitions of evolution, from the origin of life to the invention of sexual reproduction to the development of language itself.
The only way for us to fully understand human behaviour, Wilson argues, is to study the evolutionary histories of nonhuman species. Of these, he demonstrates that at least seventeen - from the African naked mole rat and the sponge-dwelling shrimp to one of the oldest species on earth, the termite - have been found to have advanced societies based on altruism, cooperation and the division of labour. These rare eusocial species form the prehistory to our human social patterns, even, according to Wilson, suggesting the possible biological benefits of homosexuality and elderly grandmothers.
Whether writing about midges who dance about like acrobats, schools of anchovies who protectively huddle to appear like a gigantic fish or well-organised flocks becoming potentially immortal, Genesis is a pathbreaking work of evolutionary theory filled with lyrical observations. It will make us rethink how we became who we are.

The Haunting of Hill House
Four seekers have arrived at the rambling old pile known as Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of psychic phenomena; Theodora, his lovely assistant; Luke, the future inheritor of the estate; and Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman with a dark past. As they begin to cope with horrifying occurrences beyond their control or understanding, they cannot possibly know what lies ahead. For Hill House is gathering its powers - and soon it will choose one of them to make its own. Twice filmed as The Haunting, and the inspiration for a new 10-part Netflix series, The Haunting of Hill House is a powerful work of slow-burning psychological horror.
Shirley Jackson was born in California in 1916. When her short story The Lottery was first published in the New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the most iconic American stories of all time. Her first novel, The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by five more: Hangsaman, The Bird's Nest, The Sundial, The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. Shirley Jackson died in her sleep at the age of 48.
If you enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House, you might like Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

Legacy Generations of Creatives in Dialogue
Generational dialogues between 40 world-renowned creatives exploring how the creative legacy of previous generations is being reinterpreted over time.
What is this phenomenon we call `legacy'? This intangible inheritance that we eventually leave for our posterity? Is it the creative and intellectual heritage that one generation passes on to the next? Conceived by Lukas Feireiss, the book at hand tries to probe this open question by engaging in critical dialogue different generations of creatives, connectors and thinkers alike. In some cases, between inherent legacy of parent and child, in many cases between mentor and students, or simply between friends.
The more than 40 illustrious contributors to this dialogue derive from an array of fields of knowledge and experience. Their stories often provide very personal insights into their work and life. They also reveal a broader perspective on the overall realms of art, design, architecture, music, literature, photography and curation in the 20th and 21st century.
