Japanese Woodblock Prints. 40th Ed.
From Edouard Manet's portrait of naturalist writer Emile Zola sitting among his Japanese art finds to Van Gogh's meticulous copies of the Hiroshige prints he devotedly collected, 19th-century pioneers of European modernism made no secret of their love of Japanese art. In all its sensuality, freedom, and effervescence, the woodblock print is single-handedly credited with the wave of japonaiserie that first enthralled France and, later, all of Europe-but often remains misunderstood as an "exotic" artifact that helped inspire Western creativity.
The fact is that the Japanese woodblock print is a phenomenon of which there exists no Western equivalent. Some of the most disruptive ideas in modern art-including, as Karl Marx put it, that "all that is solid melts into air"-were invented in Japan in the 1700s and expressed like never before in the designs of such masters as Hokusai, Utamaro, and Hiroshige in the early 19th century.
This volume, derived from the original XXL monograph, lifts the veil on a much-loved but little-understood art form by presenting the most exceptional Japanese woodblock prints in their historical context. Ranging from the 17th-century development of decadent ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," to the decline and later resurgence of prints in the early 20th century, the images collected in this edition make up an unmatched record not only of a unique genre in art history, but also of the shifting mores and cultural development of Japan.
From mystical mountains to snowy passes, samurai swordsmen to sex workers in shop windows, each piece is explored as a work of art in its own right, revealing the stories and people behind the motifs. We discover the four pillars of the woodblock print-beauties, actors, landscapes, and bird-and-flower compositions-alongside depictions of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, or enticing courtesans-rock stars who populated the "floating world" and whose fan bases fueled the frenzied production of woodblock prints. We delve into the horrifying and the obscure in prints where demons, ghosts, man-eaters, and otherworldly creatures torment the living-stunning images that continue to influence Japanese manga, film, and video games to this day. We witness how, in their incredible breadth, from everyday scenes to erotica, the martial to the mythological, these works are united by the technical mastery and infallible eye of their creators and how, with tremendous ingenuity and tongue-in-cheek wit, publishers and artists alike fought to circumvent government censorship.
As part of our 40th anniversary series, this edition compiles the finest extant impressions from museums and private collections across the globe in a lightweight, accessible format, offering extensive descriptions to guide us through this frantic period in Japanese art history.
Maggie Moves On
Can these opposites turn up the heat . . . without burning down the house?
House-flipping sensation and YouTube star Maggie Nichols can't wait to dig into her next challenge. Arriving in a tiny American town with only a coffeemaker, Maggie is prepared to restore a crumbling Victorian mansion in four months or less. She has her to-do lists, her blueprints and her team. What she doesn't have is time for sexy, laid-back landscaper Silas Wright.
The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless . . . He and his dog are impressively persistent. But she's not interested in putting down roots. Not when fans tune in to watch her travel the country turning dilapidated houses into dream homes. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. After all, Maggie remembers what fun is like. Vaguely.
As their summer gets downright steamy, Silas manages to demolish the emotional walls she's spent years building, sending Maggie into a panic. He's the wrench in her carefully constructed plans. With the end of the project looming, she has a decision to make. But how can she stay when her entire career is built on moving on?
The Green Planet
'David Attenborough's gobsmacking, awe-inspiring return' The Guardian
'The Green Planet reveals the secret lives of plants in the same way The Blue Planet opened our eyes to the oceans' New Scientist
There's something new under the sun
Plants live secret, unseen lives - hidden in their magical world and on their timescale. From the richest jungles to the harshest deserts, from the snowiest alpine forest to the remotest steaming swamp, Green Planet travels from one great habitat to the next, showing us that plants are as aggressive, competitive and dramatic as the animals on our planet. You will discover agents of death, who ruthlessly engulf their host plant, but also those that form deep and complex relationships with other species, such as the desert cacti who use nectar-loving bats to pollinate. Although plants are undoubtedly the stars of the show, a fascinating new light will be shed on the animals that interact with them.
Using the latest technologies and showcasing over two decades of new discoveries, Green Planet reveals the strange and wonderful life of plants like never before - a life full of remarkable behaviour, emotional stories and surprising heroes.

You’re Not Listening
When was the last time you listened to someone, or someone really listened to you?
This life-changing book will transform your conversations forever.
At work, we're taught to lead the conversation.
On social media, we shape our personal narratives.
At parties, we talk over one another. So do our politicians.
We're not listening.
And no one is listening to us.
Now more than ever, we need to listen to those around us. New York Times contributor Kate Murphy draws on countless conversations she has had with everyone from priests to CIA interrogators, focus group moderators to bartenders, her great-great aunt to her friend's toddler, to show how only by listening well can we truly connect with others.
Listening has the potential to transform our relationships and our working lives, improve our self-knowledge, and increase our creativity and happiness. While it may take some effort, it's a skill that can be learnt and perfected.
When all we crave is to understand and be understood, You're Not Listening shows us how.

Adriakék,tengerzöld
Az Adriára készül? Szeretne többet tudni Horvátországról annál, amit egy szokványos útikönyv kínál? Érdekli, hogyan viszonyulnak a horvátok a magyar turistához? Szeretné tudni, milyen növényeket és fűszereket érdemes onnan hazahozni, hányféle hal tenyészik az Adriai-tengerben, miben különböznek egymástól a jugó és a bóra szelek? Fontos, hogy meddig hagyatkozhat a tengerparti hegységek között kanyarogva a GPS-ére, és mire kell vigyáznia, ha nem akar eltévedni? Akarja tudni, hogyan és miből építettek a horvátok tíz év alatt ezer kilométernyi kitűnő, négysávos autósztrádát? A horvátországi nudista strandok története és jelene érdekli netán? Esetleg arra kíváncsi, miként zajlik egy magyar újságíró interjúja egy horvát miniszterelnökkel, ha elfelejtenek tolmácsot hívni? Ha Ön egyike annak a 350 ezer magyarnak, akik ebben az évben a csodálatos Adriára utaznak, ezekben a dolgokban, és ezer egyéb praktikus dologban is pontos és érdekes eligazítást kaphat e könyv szerzőjétől. Lendvai Béla az MTI tudósítójaként is ma Horvátország egyik legfelkészültebb és legtapasztaltabb hazai ismerője. És ami nem kevésbé fontos: száraz adathalmaz helyett a magyar újságírás legjobb hagyományait idéző, dinamikus, szenvedélyes és élvezetes riportkönyvet írt. A kötetet a szerző fotói illusztrálják.

Čarovný princ
Trilógia Ostrov Ascencion z pera populárnej americkej autorky Gaelen Foleyovej vrcholí očarujúcim ľúbostným príbehom princa Rafaela di Fiore a odvážnej Daniely.
V predvečer svojich tridsiatych narodenín sa Rafael di Fiore cíti väčšmi ako zajatec než ako korunný princ predurčený vládnuť ostrovnému kráľovstvu. Každé jeho želanie je vopred splnené, nemá nijaké povinnosti, a tak umiera od nudy. Nečakane sa mu však život plný záhaľky a hýrenia zmení od základov, keď jeho koč prepadne Maskovaný jazdec – tajomný zbojník, obľúbený medzi prostými ľuďmi pre svoju štedrosť a dobré srdce. Rafael útok odrazí a s úžasom zistí, že pod maskou lupiča sa skrýva pôvabná mladá Šľachtičná.
Lady Daniela, vnučka vojvodu Chiaramonteho, je rovnako cieľavedomá a statočná, ako je pekná, a čoskoro sa stane Rafaelovým spoľahlivým spojencom v zápase s neznámym atentátnikom, ktorý strojí úklady proti kráľovskej rodine. Rafaelov dôvtip, odvaha a vytrvalosť sú podrobené ťažkej skúške a okrem Daniely nik neverí, že sa mu podarí zachrániť kráľovstvo. Postupne sa však ukazuje, že tou najťažšou úlohou bude preňho záchrana milovanej ženy...

Wilder
A desperate village. A child who emerges from the marshes. A falcon that helps her save them all.
The child – if child it was – came out of the wild-ness. It came out of the sparse bleak marsh where few dared go and none came back. And though the village grew accustomed to the creature they did not forget from whence it came. And they whispered that there was no knowing whether she was sent as a blessing or a bane.’
When the child emerges from the wilderness, no one in the village knows what to do with her. She is odd – half-wild, without speech and seems to have an unnatural bond with animals – especially the falcon, who is always circling above her. The Wise-Woman takes her in, and names her Rhodd, but the rest of the villagers remain suspicious.
Over the years, as Rhodd grows, the village realises that the river, which is their connection to the wider world, is beginning to die, and eventually a dark sickness begins to spread. Soon, too soon, the villagers turn their suspicion on Rhodd and her falcon.
And so, Rhodd sets out to discover what – or who – is causing the river to dry up . . . to protect her mother, her falcon and herself…
A beautiful and enthralling adventure about love, belonging, the delicate balance of nature – and the wildness within us all, for fans of The Last Wild and Where the Crawdads Sing, for 9+ readers.
The Life of Charlotte Bronte (Hero Classics)
When Charlotte Bronte's father asked Gaskell to write his daughter's biography, his main concern was to preserve the legacy of Charlotte and present an authorised take on her life as opposed to the speculations and gossip in the yellow papers. Gaskell and Charlotte had met on just a few occasions, so the biographer had to do profound research to actually delve into her mysterious life. From Charlotte's own notes to various letters she had access to, Gaskell is seen mapping through a range of sources to find out the truth of her life. Right from the first pages of the text, we can distinctly spot Gaskell's artistic infusions of metaphors and the poetic descriptions of the setting as well as doing justice with the life of Charlotte Bronte. This biography is all that is needed for Bronte's readers as well as the admirers of inventive stylistic takes in non-fictional writing.
Upon its publication in 1857, The Life of Charlotte Bronte quite predictably caused controversy, so much so that the biographer was threatened with a legal action. Exciting exploration into Charlotte's life and the criticism which followed, this makes it a must read for Bronte students and fans.
