Pattern Cutting
The pattern cutter's aesthetic judgement of proportion, balance, line and form has always underpinned success in fashion design. In Pattern Cutting: The Architecture of Fashion, Pat Parish approaches the subject from this perspective, identifying key shapes and structures from the catwalk and translating them into 3D through a number of cutting, draping and construction processes. These methods are explored here through a series of practical scenarios, richly illustrated and annotated with step-by-step instructions. This exciting new approach provides you with the inspiration, tools and confidence to interpret and adapt basic patterns and take your designs even further.

The Pininfarina Book
What is innovation? The dictionary defines it as "renewal through the use of new processes and technologies." In advertising, everything is an innovation. But what is truly innovative? Since 1930, the Pininfarina design firm of Turin, Italy, has been answering that question. This is where the Cistalia 202 was developed, the first vehicle to be added to MoMA's permanent collection. The list goes on: the interior of the new stadium for Juventus Turin, the Nash Healey Spider seen in Billy Wilder's Sabrina, and the legendary Ferrari Dino 246 and Ferrari Testarossa. However, Pininfarina is not resting on its laurels, but blasting full speed ahead into the future with an expanded portfolio while honoring its heritage. Whether it's a solution for sustainable mobility, interior designs, or household gadgets, all Pininfarina projects bear an unmistakable signature. To visually celebrate the history and influence of Pininfarina, there is no one better suited than a man who has made his own unmistakable mark on automotive photography. Gunther Raupp has spent 30 years photographing cars for Ferrari's official calendars, which enjoy a cult following among the experts. He has two successful books with teNeues, the most recent being The Ferrari Book. As a star photographer and connoisseur of industrial design, Raupp showcases a company that embodies true italianita.

Napoleon: The Man Behind The Myth
`Napoleon is an out-and-out masterpiece and a joy to read' Sir Antony Beevor, author of Stalingrad
A landmark new biography that presents the man behind the many myths. The first writer in English to go back to the original European sources, Adam Zamoyski's portrait of Napoleon is historical biography at its finest.
Napoleon inspires passionately held and often conflicting visions. Was he a god-like genius, Romantic avatar, megalomaniac monster, compulsive warmonger or just a nasty little dictator?
While he displayed elements of these traits at certain times, Napoleon was none of these things. He was a man and, as Adam Zamoyski presents him in this landmark biography, a rather ordinary one at that. He exhibited some extraordinary qualities during some phases of his life but it is hard to credit genius to a general who presided over the worst (and self-inflicted) disaster in military history and who single-handedly destroyed the great enterprise he and others had toiled so hard to construct. A brilliant tactician, he was no strategist.
But nor was Napoleon an evil monster. He could be selfish and violent but there is no evidence of him wishing to inflict suffering gratuitously. His motives were mostly praiseworthy and his ambition no greater than that of contemporaries such as Alexander I of Russia, Wellington, Nelson and many more. What made his ambition exceptional was the scope it was accorded by circumstance.
Adam Zamoyski strips away the lacquer of prejudice and places Napoleon the man within the context of his times. In the 1790s, a young Napoleon entered a world at war, a bitter struggle for supremacy and survival with leaders motivated by a quest for power and by self-interest. He did not start this war but it dominated his life and continued, with one brief interruption, until his final defeat in 1815.
Based on primary sources in many European languages, and beautifully illustrated with portraits done only from life, this magnificent book examines how Napoleone Buonaparte, the boy from Corsica, became `Napoleon'; how he achieved what he did, and how it came about that he undid it. It does not justify or condemn but seeks instead to understand Napoleon's extraordinary trajectory.

What's So Great About the Eiffel Tower?
Why do we find the idea of a multi-coloured Parthenon so shocking today? Why was the Eiffel Tower such a target for hatred when it was first built? Is the Sagrada Familia a work of genius or kitsch? Why has Le Corbusier, one of the greatest of all architects, been treated as a villain? This book examines the critical legacy of both well known and either forgotten or underappreciated highpoints in the history of world architecture. Through 70 engaging, thought-provoking and often amusing debates, Jonathan Glancey invites readers to take a fresh look at the reputations of the masterpieces and great architects in history. You may never look at architecture in the same way again!

Lacná kniha PoloSvět Jaro (-90%)
Mraky nad PoloSvětem se začínají stahovat. Heydrichova vojska v jednom šiku obsazují Paříž a dávno zapomenuté zlo Lilith se znovu probouzí. Norma nemá na vybranou, musí se postavit do čela hnutí odporu. Ztracená v děsivé noční můře PoloSvěta musí vzít na sebe obrovskou zodpovědnost a vyrovnat se s tím, že její přátelé teď stojí jako úhlavní nepřátelé na druhé straně barikády. Aby v tomto surreálném kyber světě zvítězila, musí dokázat mnohem víc, než si kdy myslela, že zvládne… jinak zahyne.
Tentokrát se děj odehrává v hédonistickém středomořském sektoru Medi. Autor vtahuje do děje řadu nových postav, z nichž nejdůležitější je slečna Odetta Arocová – rozložitá a velmi svérázná dívka z pařížského tržiště. Objevuje se i markýz de Sade a Nikolaj Kondratěv, ruský ekonom a autorův oblíbenec.
Při čtení tohoto příběhu se můžete cítit, jako byste se vydali do neznámého města. Odhalujete, co a jak spolu souvisí a jak je v PoloSvětě všechno dokonale promyšleno, a krok za krokem prožíváte spoustu fascinujících příběhů. Chce to jen důvěřovat autorovi, nechat se od něho trpělivě vést a nespěchat.
I v tomto díle je čtenář nakonec zanechán v dychtivém očekávání, jak bude příběh v dalším díle LÉTO pokračovat.

Naše najstaršie dejiny
Originálny a prekvapivý pohľad na naše najstaršie dejiny. Úplne inak ako sme sa to učili. Slovania sem neprišli, ale sa sem vrátili. Aj s históriou obdobia tzv. Veľkomoravskej ríše to nie je celkom v poriadku. Ako to vlastne bolo? Jedným z najväčších omylov starej slovenskej histórie je oficiálny výklad zániku Veľkej Moravy a kauza kniežaťa Pribinu. Nastáva čas pre pravdivý výklad našich dejín. Čoho sa bojíme? Je Sv. Metod pochovaný v Čiernych Kľačanoch? Sú dlho a dosiaľ márne hľadaným slávnym Metodovým mestom Zlaté Moravce?
A viete, že najstaršou slovenskou obcou sú Chrášťany? Máme toho hodne, čo treba v našom dejepise poopravovať, nad čím rozmýšľať i ďalej bádať.

Lacná kniha Klíč soudného dne (-90%)
Na Princetonské univerzitě umírá v laboratoři, kde se pracuje s nebezpečným biologickým materiálem, úspěšný genetik. V římské bazilice sv. Petra je nalezen mrtvý vatikánský archeolog. V Africe je u tábora Červeného kříže zavražděn syn amerického senátora. Tři vraždy na třech kontinentech spojuje děsivý detail: všechny oběti jsou označeny druidským pohanským symbolem, který jim někdo vypálil do kůže. Bizarní úmrtí přinutí velitele Graye Pierce a Sigma Force závodit s časem: musejí vyluštit záhadu, jejíž kořeny sahají do dávné minulosti k šokujícímu zločinu proti lidskosti zakódovanému v tajemném středověkém rukopisu. První vodítko se objeví v mumifikovaném těle pohřbeném na anglickém rašeliništi – a jedná se o hrůzné tajemství, které ohrožuje celý svět. S pomocí dvou žen ze své minulosti – bývalé milenky a nové partnerky – musí Gray poskládat z jednotlivých střípků strašlivou pravdu. Odhalení však není zadarmo a pro záchranu budoucnosti musí obětovat jednu z žen, jež má po svém boku. Sigma Force čelí největší hrozbě lidstvu v dobrodružství, které sahá od římského Kolosea přes ledové norské vrcholky a rozvaliny středověkých opatství k zapomenutým hrobkám keltských králů. Nejhorší noční můra je uvězněna v talismanu pohřbeném dávno mrtvým světcem – v artefaktu známém pod označením klíč soudného dne.
