Byrne - Six Books of Euclid
Elemental Ancient Greek mathematics meet modernist design Nearly a century before Mondrian made geometrical red, yellow, and blue lines famous, 19th-century mathematician Oliver Byrne employed the color scheme for his 1847 edition of Euclid's mathematical and geometric treatise Elements. Byrne's idea was to use color to make learning easier and "diffuse permanent knowledge." The result has been described as one of the oddest and most beautiful books of the 19th century. The facsimile of Byrne's vivid publication is now available as part of TASCHEN's Bibliotheca Universalis series. A masterwork of art and science, it is as beautiful in the boldness of its red, yellow, and blue figures and diagrams as it is in the mathematical precision of its theories. In the simplicity of forms and colors, the pages anticipate the vigor of De Stijl and Bauhaus design. In making complex information at once accessible and aesthetically engaging, this work is a forerunner to the information graphics that today define much of our data consumption.Text in English, French, and German

Picturing People
Figurative art is currently riding high. Contemporary works depicting the human form grace the walls of public institutions and commercial galleries alike. Champions of paint, such as Katherine Bernhardt and Adrian Ghenie; photographic artists, such as Gillian Wearing and Cindy Sherman; Charles Avery's drawings, Grayson Perry's tapestries and Kara Walker's silhouettes - these and many other artists from diverse backgrounds are working in a range of media to explore new ways to depict the human form. Charlotte Mullins explores the reasons behind this resurgence and considers what the figure means to the artists who depict it in their practice. Her accessible yet highly perceptive introduction includes works by 70 artists, all created in the past five years. These artists successfully employ the figure to help make sense of the mercurial, fast-paced and challenging world we live in.

Egy csésze kávé Koppenhágában
Módfelett bosszantó, ha egy kolléga lenyúlja az ember ötletét. Az pedig különösen fájdalmas, ha ez a kolléga ráadásul a pasink is. Regényünk főhősével, Kate-tel is ez történik. Szomorkodásra
azonban nincs ideje, hiszen fontos feladatot kap: egy dúsgazdag dán vállalkozó nagyáruházat akar nyitni Londonban, és Kate-nek kell megterveznie a sajtókampányt. Ráadásul
mindössze két napot kap az óriási projektre. Düh és dac munkál benne, de mindenáron tökéletesen akarja megoldani a feladatot.
Kitalálja, hogy hívják meg az újságírókat egy koppenhágai kirándulásra, hogy ott, helyben tapasztalhassák meg az egyedülálló dán életérzést, a hyggét. Az az elképzelés, hogy
az újságírók koppenhágai beszámolóit olvasva, aztán majd egymást tapossák a vásárlók London új dán áruházában.
Hat hisztis és undok újságírót öt napig együtt tartani úgy, hogy a túrának gyakorlati haszna is legyen és a megbízó is elégedett legyen, igazán embert próbáló feladat! Mindez persze lehetőség is egy igazán nagy kalandra és arra, hogy megtanuljuk, mi is a dánok boldogságának titka.
Julie Caplin imád utazni és jókat enni. Megszállottan keresi a tökéletes gint, és hihetetlenül válogatós,
ami a poharat, a tonikot és a díszítést illeti. A megszokott ginkostolói közben írta meg első regényét. Inspirációként azok a városlátogatások szolgáltak számára, amelyeket PR-igazgatóként ő maga szervezett, hogy a részt vevő újságírókkal megismertesse az adott város gasztronómiai örömeit.

The Fix
Longlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2016 The world's most intractable problems solved: ambitious lessons in leadership and hope from free-thinkers and innovators who have tackled our biggest challenges From immigration reform to energy resources, from political paralysis to inequality and extremism, we are beset by a raft of huge and seemingly insurmountable issues. The daily newspapers, the rolling 24-hour television news, portray a world in terminal decline. What goes under-reported are the success stories. Here, taking ten of the most knotty issues we face today, Jonathan Tepperman examines unsung individuals' bold and innovative attempts against all odds and expectations to solve some of the important problems governments have struggled with for decades. Each chapter tells the story of one government that's found a way to avoid the snares that entangle most of the others. The solutions described in the book aren't speculative: they've all already been tried, and they work. Controversial, provocative but always stimulating, Tepperman here offers a powerful, data-driven case for optimism. Written with flair and an infectious exuberance, The Fix is a book to restore hope to the pessimistic, and offer both practical advice and inspiration in a time of relentless bad news.

Michelangelo - The Complete Paintings, Sculptures and Architecture
Il divino Meet the Renaissance master Before reaching the tender age of 30, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) had already sculpted Pieta and David, two of the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. As a sculptor, painter, draftsman, and architect, the achievements of this Italian master are unique-no artist before or after him has ever produced such a vast, multifaceted, and wide-ranging oeuvre. This fresh TASCHEN edition traces Michelangelo's ascent to the cultural elite of the Renaissance. Ten richly illustrated chapters cover the artist's paintings, sculptures, buildings, and drawings, including a close analysis of the artist's tour de force frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Full-page reproductions and enlarged details allow readers to appreciate the finest details in the artist's repertoire, while the book's biographical essay considers Michelangelo's more personal traits and circumstances, such as his solitary nature, his thirst for money and commissions, his immense wealth, and his skill as a property investor. About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis-- Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing. Bibliotheca Universalis brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia.Bookworm's delight -- never bore, always excite!
White Fragility
The International Bestseller
Anger. Fear. Guilt. Denial. Silence. These are the ways in which ordinary white people react when it is pointed out to them that they have done or said something that has - unintentionally - caused racial offence or hurt. But these reactions only serve to silence people of colour, who cannot give honest feedback to 'liberal' white people lest they provoke a dangerous emotional reaction.
Robin DiAngelo coined the term 'White Fragility' in 2011 to describe this process and is here to show us how it serves to uphold the system of white supremacy. Using knowledge and insight gained over decades of running racial awareness workshops and working on this idea as a Professor of Whiteness Studies, she shows us how we can start having more honest conversations, listen to each other better and react to feedback with grace and humility. It is not enough to simply hold abstract progressive views and condemn the obvious racists on social media - change starts with us all at a practical, granular level, and it is time for all white people to take responsibility for relinquishing their own racial supremacy.
'With clarity and compassion, DiAngelo allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to "bad people." In doing so, she moves our national discussions forward. This is a necessary book for all people invested in societal change' Claudia Rankine
'An important book' Nikesh Shukla
'By turns mordant and then inspirational, an argument that powerful forces and tragic histories stack the deck fully against racial justice alongside one that we need only to be clearer, try harder, and do better' David Roediger, Los Angeles Review of Books
'The value in White Fragility lies in its methodical, irrefutable exposure of racism in thought and action, and its call for humility and vigilance' Katy Waldman, New Yorker
'A vital, necessary, and beautiful book' Michael Eric Dyson
Eszter hagyatéka
Az élet oly csodálatosan megajándékozott, és oly tökéletesen kirabolt, mit várhatok még? Az 1939-ben írt kitűnő regény egy beteljesületlen szerelem története. A mindig fellegekben élő, jellemgyenge, de szeretni valóan kedves Lajos és Eszter húsz esztendővel korábban bontakozott szerelmét rombolta szét, amikor a férfi Eszter nővérét, Vilmát vette feleségül. Felesége halála után, gyermekeivel látogatóba érkezik az asszonyhoz, aki még mindig szereti. A találkozás oka igencsak prózai: Lajos, aki már mindenétől megfosztotta Esztert, most végső menedékétkészül elrabolni, a családi otthon eladására kéri. Eszter ekkor tudja meg, hogy a férfi nősülése előtt végső elkeseredésében levelekben könyörgött Eszternek, hogy szökjenek meg együtt, mert szüksége van rá. Eszter azonban sohasem kapta meg a leveleket.

A világ mint akarat és képzelet
Arthur Schopenhauer főműve a gondolkodástörténet ritka, nagy filozófiai rendszert építő alkotásai közé tartozik, mely struktúráját és nyelvezetét tekintve is eltér a hagyományos, ill. az ún. német idealista és kriticista filozófiai művektől. A kognitív megismeréstől, ill. ... Folytatás ›› az emberi beavatkozástól függetlenül működő és ható gonosz és kiszámíthatatlan akarat teremti és tartja a világot szenvedésekkel teli, örökös körforgásban. Közvetett objektivációi közül elsősorban az ember az, aki megpróbál szabadulni hatalmától. Ennek két módozata lehetséges: az esztétikai út, vagyis a művészetek, ill. az etikai út, ahol is az aszkézis vezethet el az akarattól független szabadsághoz.
A(z) A világ mint akarat és képzet (Könyv) szerzője Arthur Schopenhauer.

Álomfogó
A rémálmoknak előbb-utóbb végük van, ám Cata, a Hangya és a többiek rémálmából nem biztos, hogy létezik kiút. A kísérleti kezelés közben - amelyen hőseink azért vettek részt, hogy álmatlanságukból kigyógyuljanak - végzetes műhiba történik, aminek folytán Catáéknak közösen kell átélniük egymás legiszonyatosabb, álmokban megtestesülő félelmeit.
A hat tinédzser nem tud felébredni. Lassan-lassan tudatosul bennük: ha álmukban meghalnak, a való világból is távoznak. Egyiküket már elragadta a halál, s az bárkire, bármikor ugyanúgy lecsaphat. Egyvalamit tudnak biztosan: csak egymást segítve élhetnek túl. Ám ahogy mindenkiről sorra kiderül az igazság, rá kell jönniük, hogy a rémálmoknál valami sokkal szörnyűbbel is össze vannak zárva...
Tökéletes belépő a kamaszoknak a thrillerek világába.
Amy Plum kiváló pszichothrillerének lapjain A rémálom az Elm utcában és az Eredet motívumai ötvöződnek egymással.
Az Álomfogó különösen a sötét, izgalmas Young Adult-könyvek kedvelőinek, Danielle Vega, Natasha Preston, Kendare Blake és Madeleine Roux rajongóinak való olvasmány, mely egy mozgalmas, akciódús, borzongató, kétrészes sorozat második kötete.

The Siege
In the early fifteenth century, as winter falls away, the people of Albania know that their fate is sealed. They have refused to negotiate with the Ottoman Empire, and war is now inevitable. Soon enough dust kicked up by Turkish horses is spotted from a citadel. Brightly coloured banners, hastily constructed minarets and tens of thousands of men fill the plain below. From this moment on, the world is waiting to hear that the fortress has fallen. The Siege tells the enthralling story of the weeks and months that follow - of the exhilaration and despair of the battlefield, the constantly shifting strategies of war, and those whose lives are held in balance, from the Pasha himself to the technicians, artillerymen, astrologer, blind poet and harem of women that accompany him. Brilliantly vivid, as insightful as it is compelling, The Siege is an unforgettable account of the clash of two great civilisations. As a portrait of war, it resonates across the centuries and confirms Ismail Kadare as one of our most significant writers.
