The Art of Living
With all the wit, knowledge and wisdom of one of the UK's foremost cultural commentators, Stephen Bayley takes the reader on a satirical roller-coaster ride through the world of art and design in the late 20th century.
Someone once said you can find beauty anywhere. But all Eustace Dunne can see is ugliness.
The buildings are grey, the people are tired and unimaginative, the food is inedible and life is drab, drab, drab.
Growing up in an England ravaged by the Second World War, Eustace resolves to make things beautiful again. A mercurial stint in art school gives him a springboard into a world that is changing so fast you have to hold on tight to keep up. And in that world, ambition, timing and a modicum of talent can transform you into anything you want to be.
Before long he's an artist, a designer, a restaurateur, an entrepreneur, a genius. But becoming a bastion of perfect taste can be a grubby business. Eustace's charm may have secured his influence on the homes and hearts of a nation, but there are still people out there who know where the bodies are buried...
My Ear at His Heart

My Ear at His Heart offers remarkable insight into Hanif Kureishi's literary calling, coming from the ashes of his father's own attempts years before.
Lacná kniha Sting:Back on the Beat
Touted by fans for his charisma and scorned by critics for his egomania, Sting is one of the most commercially successful and most controversial rock artists performing today. A schoolteacher from Newcastle, Sting soared to international fame and the top of the seventies rock charts with The Police, one of the most popular bands on the planet. After the band folded, he emerged as a solo start with hit singles, critically acclaimed albums, worldwide sell-out tours, and a host of Grammys, not to mention raves for his work in film and on Broadway. Yet Sting's career has been turbulent-an accomplished jazz bassist and vastly talented musician, he has been charged with playing punk and reggae for careerist convenience. He has been accused of single-handedly breaking up The Police at the peak of its rock band powers. And his much publicized work on behalf of Amnesty International and the Brazilian rainforests has been equally admired and disdained. In this updated edition of the first full-length biography of Sting, Christopher Sandford examines the substance behind the cliche, the creative disagreements--and physical violence--among The Police; the musical intelligence that produced such albums as Nothing Like the Sun and Ten Summoner's Tales; Sting's ecological campaigning and financial dealings; and his numerous sexual entanglements. Here is Sting, the legend, the man, the political activist, the performer who continues to fascinate the world.

The Great Experiment
One of our most important political thinkers looks to the greatest challenge of our time: how to live together equally and peacefully in diverse democracies. It's easy to be pessimistic about the fate of democracy in multi-ethnic societies. At the end of the Second World War, fewer than one in twenty-five people living in the UK were born abroad; now it is one in seven. The history of humankind is a story of us versus them, and the project of diverse democracies is a relatively new one - it is, in other words, a great experiment. How do identity groups with different ideologies and beliefs live together? Is it possible to embark on a democracy with shared values if our values are at odds? Yascha Mounk argues that group identity is both deeply rooted and malleable. No community is beyond conciliation: groups are moving towards cooperation across the world. The Great Experiment offers a profound understanding of the problem behind all our other problems, and genuine hope for our capacity to solve it.

Florence: The city and its architecture
See where it lies before us in a sun-lighted valley, bright with the winding Arno, and shut in by swelling hills, its domes, and towers, and palaces, rising from the rich country in a glittering heap, and shining in the sun like gold. - Charles Dickens, "Pictures from Italy", 1844. For nearly two centuries, from the era of Dante to that of Michelangelo, the comparatively small but extremely wealthy city of Florence exerted an exceptional influence over the development of western civilization that even today remains the subject of endless study, debate and research. The inspired patronage of Cosimo and Lorenzo de Medici, of Giovanni Rucellai and others, gave rise to seminal architectural works by Brunelleschi and Alberti, Michelozzo and Michelangelo, to name but a few. Joined by their contemporaries from the Pitti, Strozzi, and Pazzi families, the Medici also provoked a renewed study of classical philosophers and the establishment of renowned cultural academies and public libraries. It was during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries that the modern Italian language of today was developed and disseminated, largely through the three-fold genius of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio. This volume provides a comprehensive and distilled account of the urban history of Florence, from its Roman foundation to the radical transformations due to the new modes of transportation and communication of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Avoiding a conventional chronology, the book has a largely thematic organization, identifying important urban nuclei and their modes of growth, as well as the stylistic development of the principal architectural typologies. The book has approximately 350 illustrations, including both historical and newly commissioned photographs, reproductions of famous paintings, maps, and prints, and architectural plans and drawings. Among famous works shown here are the painted views of Bellotto, the eighteenth-century lithographs of Zocchi, the Medici villas painstakingly detailed by Utens, and the famous 'della catena' view of 1472. The first part of the book traces the city's history up to the nineteenth century, the decade of Italian unification. The second part identifies and analyzes in detail the two groups of monumental buildings that have long symbolized the spiritual and the political nuclei of power in Florence: the Piazza del Duomo and the ecclesiastical monuments around it, and the great civic square Piazza della Signoria, which plays the major role in Florence's political history. The third part of the book is a typological discussion of the architecture of the city, including a brief outline of how the city's craftsmen actually constructed its monuments, from obtaining the stone to organizing the guild system. The discussion of Florence's architecture includes its churches, housing, and the most famous and monumental great palaces of the Renaissance - those of the Medici, Strozzi, Rucellai and the Pazzi families - as well as lesser-known contemporaries and successors. This includes an analysis of the development of the rural or suburban villa as a type unto itself, concentrating specifically on the many Medici villas outside Florence, and the later Baroque Palazzi, whose at times restrained facades conceal interiors of extraordinary richness and sumptuous decoration. The final part outlines the momentous changes to the city since the mid-nineteenth century, from the destruction of the walls and the ancient markets to the devastation of the bridges in 1944 and the inundation of 1966, and to reconstruction following each of these disasters. The book concludes with a survey of architecture between the wars and highlights of the modernist period.

Kronika temného dávnoveku 1: Brat vlk
ZÁKLADNÉ FAKTY
Názov série 6 kníh: Kronika temného dávnoveku (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness)
Každá kniha predstavuje samostatný príbeh, no všetkými sa tiahne spoločný motív boja hlavného hrdinu Toraka proti tzv. požieračom duší. Niektoré tajomstvá, ktoré mu otec naznačí na začiatku prvej knihy sa objasnia až v poslednej knihe série.
Kniha 1: Brat Vlk (Brother Wolf), vydalo vydavateľstvo Orion. Najobliehanejšia detská kniha na medzinárodnom veľtrhu kníh vo Frankfurte, 1. vydanie 50 000 ks
Kniha 2: Spirit Walker - predstavená v apríli tohto roku na veľtrhu detskej literatúry v Bologni.
Prvé vydané výtlačky s podpisom autorky sa predali za 800 libier na internetovej burze E-bay. (Prvé výtlačky knihy, ktorá sa stane úspešnou sa dajú vydražiť napr. Harry Potter sa vydražil za 20 000 libier.)
Na veľtrhu detskej knihy v Bologni sa na stretnutí s autorkou podelili o svoje skúsenosti vydavatelia prvej knihy série - Brat Vlk z rôznych krajín sveta. Od Južnej Ameriky po Južnú Kóreu vydavatelia veľmi odlišných kultúr považujú príbeh za rovnako neodolateľný.
DEJ
Dej sa odohráva pred 6 000 rokmi v dobe kamennej v Severnej Európe v prehistorickom lese. Krajinu tvorí nekonečný les obývaný vlkmi, medveďmi, démonmi, aurochmi. V lese sa objaví diabol, prebývajúci v tele obrovského medveďa. Má jediný cieľ - zničiť celý les a všetky živé bytosti v ňom. 12-ročný Torak je sám, zranený, vystrašený a na úteku. Stal sa vyhnancom ako jeho otec a doteraz neprišiel do kontaktu so žiadnymi ľudskými klanmi, ktoré obývajú les. Torakov otec je pred jeho očami zabitý prevteleným démonom, ktorý mu je neustále v pätách, tichý ako dych. Torak ostáva sám, jeho jediným spoločníkom je mláďa vlka, rovnako osirotené. Postupne sa dozvedá o príčine smrti svojho otca a vie, že sa bude musieť postaviť zoči-voči strašnému démonovi. Torak je totiž jediným predurčeným na zabitie démona, a teda na záchranu lesa.
Autorka prezradila, kde sa bude odohrávať pokračovanie príbehu Toraka a vlčieho mláďaťa. Každá kniha sa odohráva v inom prostredí a inom ročnom období. Kým Brat Vlk sa začína v lese, v druhej knihe hlavný hrdina putuje k moru, v tretej ďaleko na chladný ľadový sever, štvrtý Torakov príbeh sa odohráva pri jazere, piaty v neznámom tajomnom lese a posledný vo vysokých horách.
Pre čitateľov, ktorí pochádzajú z kútov sveta, kde nepoznajú sneh, bude najzaujímavejšia tretia časť, pre tých, ktorí nevideli more druhá a pre všetkých prvá a piata, keďže dnes deti žijú v pretechnizovanom svete, takmer v úplnej izolácii od prírody. Čitatelia budú mať možnosť zažiť Torakove prvé stretnutie s medveďom ako aj to, ako prepláva s vlkom v náruči ľadovú rieku, ako prespáva v zime v lese, ako si hľadá potravu, ako sa orientuje v lese...
Či chlapec a vlčie mláďa zostanú spolu, či Torak nakoniec zvíťazí nad démonom autorka prezradiť nechce.
Michelle Paver vytvorila okolo ľudských klanov obývajúcich les celú mytológiu, na základe zvykov, ktoré praktizujú niektoré kultúry dodnes. Dej sa totiž odoh

Sensehacking
The world expert in multisensory perception on the remarkable ways we can use our senses to lead richer lives
'Talks total sense, lots of fun facts, right up there with the best of the best' Chris Evans
'Packed with studies on pain, attention, memory, mood' The Times
How can the furniture in your home affect your wellbeing? What colour clothing will help you play sport better? And what simple trick will calm you after a tense day at work?
In this revelatory book, pioneering and entertaining Oxford professor Charles Spence shows how our senses change how we think and feel, and how by 'hacking' them we can reduce stress, become more productive and be happier.
We like to think of ourselves as rational beings, and yet it's the scent of expensive face cream that removes wrinkles (temporarily), a room actually feels warmer if you use a warmer paint colour, and the noise of the crowd really does affect the referee's decision. Understanding how our senses interact can produce incredible results. This is popular science at its unbelievable best.
'Spence does for the senses what Marie Kondo does for homes' Avery Gilbert, author of What the Nose Knows
