Art And Sole
In recent years the sneaker scene has exploded with limited editions and artist/designer collaborations. These specialist shoes are invariably produced as short runs, using innovative or luxury materials and often have bespoke packaging.Art &, Soul is the first book to focus exclusively on contemporary, cutting-edge sneaker design. It sets out to explore and to celebrate the creative side of sneaker culture, showing the best and most original rarities/collaborations and previewing the latest art and design. These are the shoes at the sharp end of sneaker culture—not shoes that can be found in your average sports store.The book also highlights how creative advances on-the-scene have been furthered by a growing number of artists who base their work on sneakers—from sculptures made from dissected shoes, to oil paintings on canvas, and even the customization of the shoes themselves. There is now a huge crossover between sneaker culture and the worlds of art and design.

Polity Agent
From 800 years in the future, a runcible gate is opened into the Polity and those coming through it have been sent specially to take the alien 'Maker' back to its home civilization in the Small Magellanic cloud. Once these refugees are safely through, the gate itself is rapidly shut down - because something alien is pursuing them. The gate is then dumped into a nearby sun. From those refugees who get through, agent Cormac learns that the Maker civilization has been destroyed by pernicious virus known as the Jain technology. This, of course, raised questions: why was Dragon, a massive biocontruct of the Makers, really sent to the Polity, why did a Jain node suddenly end up in the hands of someone who could do the most damage with it? Meanwhile an entity called the Legate is distributing pernicious Jain nodes ...and a renegade attack ship, The King of Hearts, has encountered something very nasty outside the Polity itself.

Snuff
From the master of literary mayhem and provocation, a full-frontal Triple-X novel that goes where no work of fiction has gone before. 'Six hundred dudes. One porn queen. A world record for the ages. A must-have movie for every discerning collector of things erotic.' 'Didn't one of us on purpose set out to make a snuff movie?' Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera. With six hundred men. Snuff unfolds from the perspectives of Mr 72, Mr 137 and Mr 600, who await their turn on camera in a very crowded green room. This wild, lethally funny and thoroughly researched novel brings the huge yet underacknowledged presence of pornography in contemporary life into the realm of literary fiction at last. Who else but Chuck Palahniuk would dare do such a thing? Who else could do it so well, so unflinchingly and with such an incendiary (you might say) climax?

In Japan, people live longer than anywhere else on Earth, obesity is virtually unknown, and 40-year-old women look like they're 20. The secret: Japanese homestyle cooking, and an approach to eating that is not about self-deprivation, but about celebrating and savouring food. Raised in Tokyo and on her grandparents' mountainside farm, author Naomi Moriyama first travelled to the West as a college student, and promptly gained 25 pounds eating an American diet.

Filled with delicious recipes and evocative reminiscences, this book is for all those who are tired of counting calories and carbs, and finding themselves on diets that don't work. "Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat" offers a delightfully fresh and easy approach to a healthier, slimmer, and longer lifestyle.

A Gustav-szonata
Egy nem mindennapi gyerekkori barátság lélegzetelállító története, amely kiállja az idő próbáját. Gustav Perle egy svájci kisvárosban nő fel, ahol a II. világháború szörnyűségeiből csak halk visszhang jut el. Egyedüli gyerekként nevelkedik imádott édesanyjával, Emilie-vel, aki meglehetően mogorván bánik vele. Összebarátkozik egy vele egykorú tehetséges és jó eszű zsidó fiúval Anton Zweibellel, az ígéretes zongoristapalántával. A regény Gustav családjának történetét követi nyomon, feltárja az anya antiszemitizmusának gyökereit, amelynek kihatása lesz fia és legkedvesebb barátjának életére is. Visszatekintés a háborús évekre és egy lelkiismereti ügy kellemetlen következményeire, és előre nézés két életútra, két karrierre; egy szállodatulajdonoséra és egy zongoraművészére. A Gustav-szonáta a barátságról szól: a szenvedélyes szeretetről, az eltávolodásról és a küzdelemről. Erőteljes és mélyen megindító mű az egyik legnagyobb kortárs regényíró tollából. „A szeretet és irigység mesteri elbeszélése.” – The Guardian “Egy tökéletes regény az élet tökéletlenségéről” – The Observer “Tremain egy géniusz.” – The Times "Végletes és fájdalmas szépség. Briliáns regény; Tremain a legnagyobb brit írók egyike.” -Salman Rushdie Rose Tremain 1943-ban született Londonban. Regényei és novellái világszerte 27 országban jelentek meg, számtalan díjat nyertek, beleértve a Sunday Express Év Könyve Díját a Restoration-nel (a regényt Booker-díjra is jelölték). A Sacred Country-val Franciaországban elnyerte a „Prix Femina Etranger”-díjat, a Music and Silence-szel a Whitbread Év Könyve díjat, és a Road Home-mal 2008-ban a regényeknek járó Orange-díjat. 1995-ben a Restoration-ből Változások kora címmel filmet forgattak, és 2009-ben színpadra is vitték. Legújabb regénye a sokat dicsért Gustav-szonáta, amiben Rose „páratlan tehetsége csúcsára érkezett” (Observer).

Rich Dad Poor Dad
Personal finance author and lecturer Robert T. Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective from two very different influences - his two fathers. One father (Robert's real father) was a highly educated man but fiscally poor. The other father was the father of Robert's best friend - that Dad was an eighth-grade drop-out who became a self-made multi-millionaire. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his 'poor dad' pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his 'rich dad'. Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. RICH DAD, POOR DAD, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his philosophy behind Kiyosaki's relationship with money and opens readers eyes by: * Exploding the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich * Challenging the belief that your house is an asset * Showing parents why they can't rely on schools to teach their children about money * Defining once and for all an asset versus a liability ...* Explaining what to teach your children about money for their future financial success

U2 Show
Everything about the band U2 is huge. From their music, to their tours, to their influence on global popular culture and politics. In the US they are cultural icons as well as multimillion album selling pop stars. Underpinning their popularity is the passion for touring. For the last 20 years they have hardly been off the road. It is the thing they love to do best. And it is the tour which drives their creativity and reflects the direction of the band. From the modest Tick Tock Tour of 1980, through the Joshua Tree, and on to the videomedia extravaganza of ZooTV in the early 90s and Popmart in the late 90s then the more intimate Elevation tour of the last two years, it is the tours which have set their agenda. For the first time the band has agreed to allow a book on this vital part of their creative energy. The photographs will be hand picked from their archive put together over 25 years. There will be a commentary by Diana Scimgeour, and first-person accounts from the band and associates.

The Invention of Chic
This volume is based on Therese Bonney's little-known archive, much of it unpublished since the 1930s, which comprehensively documents the modern movement in Paris between the wars. American photojournalist Bonney was one of many bright young foreigners drawn to Paris in the 1920s. After completing her PhD at the Sorbonne (the youngest person ever to do so), she turned her huge energies and acute eye to the world of modern design. This was an exciting moment: Art Deco, still at its height, was increasingly being challenged by the more austere aesthetics of Modernism. Bonney photographed architecture, interiors, salon installations and international expositions. She was dazzlingly well-connected and her captions read like a roll-call of Deco and Moderne: Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Jean Dunand, Le Corbusier and others. She was enthralled not only by commercial and decorative arts but also by fashion and beauty. She shot department stores and beauty salons, posters and packaging, restaurants and nightclubs. Her photographs exemplify the period's emphasis on line, texture and sparing but highly graphic decoration.
