A Second Life For Buildings
Transforming existing architecture and assigning to it a new use for which it was not originally conceived entails an exhaustive process of historical, technical and functional exploration.
The crucial component of such interventions, often on disused buildings, is sustainability and can be summed up in this clear and concise maxim: ""the greenest building is the one that is already built"".
Through projects of various scales, often surprising but always sensitive to the historical context in which they are situated, this book illustrates the fascinating process of reconversion of built architecture.
Second First Impressions
Ruthie Midona is twenty-four (going on ninety-four) and fully committed to her job at a luxury retirement village. Keeping herself busy caring for the eccentric residents means that Ruthie can safely ignore her own life - what little there is of it.
Teddy Prescott is practically allergic to a hard day's work. When he rocks up as the retirement village's newest employee, Ruthie is less than impressed. The last thing she needs is a distraction as irritating (and handsome) as this selfish rich kid. Lucky for Ruthie, her favourite pair of mischievous residents need a new assistant to torture... so she hands over Teddy, ready for them to send him running.
Except Teddy may be about to surprise her - not just by surviving the old women's antics, but by charming Ruthie so much, she starts to remember that there's more to life than work... Could Teddy be far more than simply an unwelcome distraction?
'A truly adorable, heart-warming, swoon-worthy love story' Beth O'Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare

The Second Mountain
Are you on your first or second mountain? Is life about yourself or others? Are you self-improving or committed? Mainstream culture teaches us that human beings pursue our self-interest - money, power, fame. But at some point in our life we might discover that we're not interested in what other people tell us to want. We want to want the things that are truly worthy of wanting.
At this point, you have moved to your second mountain. What does it mean to elevate your desires, to look beyond consumption and find a moral cause? To forget about independence and discover dependence - to be utterly enmeshed in a web of warm relationships? What does it mean to want intimacy, devotion, responsibility and commitment above individual freedom? In The Second Mountain David Brooks explores the meaning and possibilities that scaling a second mountain offer us, and the four commitments that most commonly move us there: family, vocation, philosophy and community. Inspiring, personal and full of joy, this is the start of a deeper journey into the world.
Citizen First, Designer Second
After a career of more than 20 years spanning four countries, globally-renowned graphic designer, illustrator and visual branding consultant Rejane Dal Bello explains how choosing (or being chosen by) a design career has come to matter to her - and how it can matter to others no matter whether they are also seeking a creative path or are simply curious about the value and possibilities afforded by creativity. Through a mixture of personal anecdote and professional experience, Rejane honestly and emotively reflects on her life and processes, and how they have been shaped by the beauty, challenges and serendipity of design and the visual arts.
This edition comes in three striking colour combinations that will be shipped to customers at random.
The Second Summer of Love
In 1987, four friends from London, Paul Oakenfold, Danny Rampling, Nicky Holloway and Johnny Walker, took a week-long holiday to Ibiza. What they saw there, and brought back home, would give rise to a new global music and counterculture movement.
As the eighties drew to their close, with Thatcherism holding the nation tight in its grip, something funny was happening right across the jungle of Britain's nightlife scene. People were dressing down, not up, to go to clubs. And they were dancing right through the night armed seemingly with only bottles of water. Ecstasy and acid house music had arrived on British shores, and a tribal battle between for the moral future of the nation, between the youth and the establishment, had begun.
In The Second Summer of Love, author and dance music promoter Alon Shulman uses exclusive contributions from the world's biggest DJs, including Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim, Moby, Faithless, Mr C, Farley & Heller, Danny Rampling and many others to faithfully recreate the story of the summers of 1988 and 1989, and chart the birth and rise of Acid House, dance music and club culture right through to the modern day where dance music has become a culturally dominant global industry.
Complete with stunning unseen photographs, this is the first authentic account of what really happened in that glorious period - from the politics and the people to the music, the drugs, the fashion and the culture - told by people who were there, as they bring to life the creation of an underground scene which inadvertently altered the course of modern global youth culture forever.
'It's as if house music and rave culture tapped into this ancient predilection of humans to stay up all night dancing and staring into the fire, and just supercharged it with electricity and MDMA' - Moby

Ako som vozil Nórov 2
Ondrej Sokol omnoho radšej počúva, než rozpráva. Vypočul teda modlitby i zbožné priania svojich fanúšikov a napísal pokračovanie svojho úspešného debutu o patáliách s vozením Nórov v autobusoch. Tentokrát sa dozvieme, aké je to šoférovať ekologické hybridy v extrémnych severských podmienkach, aké sú výhody vozenia turistov na Nordkapp a prečo jazdiť MHD hoci aj v Nórsku nemusí byť až taká výhra.
Táto kniha má naozaj všetko: politicky nekorektný humor, intermezzo s ňuňu mačiatkom a dokonca virtuálnu prehliadku najsevernejšieho WC Európy. Viacerých čitateľov určite prekvapí tiež fakt, že nielen u nás sa zadávajú a vyhrávajú tendre s absolútne nezmyselnými podmienkami.
V knihe Ako som vozil Nórov 2 je študovaný prekladateľ a vášnivý šofér autobusu Ondrej opäť v plnej sile - dočkáme sa trefných prirovnaní a zábavných historiek, cez ktoré nakukneme oknom autobusu do prostredia príťažlivej škandinávskej krajiny. Je to jednoducho Sokol taký, akého ho máme radi - otrlý, nad vecou a s chuťou voziaci rôzne národnosti po napínavých trasách.

Ako som vozil Nórov
Voziť Nórov v MHD nie je len tak! Jednak je tam oveľa väčšia zima ako na Slovensku a podľa Ondrejovho písania aj oveľa väčšia sranda. Ale to môže byť aj jeho štýlom.
Možno keby opisoval vyšívanie v Zimbabwe, tiež by vám to prišlo ako závideniahodná činnosť. Prvý záblesk lúčov slávy Ondreja zasiahol, keď na portáli Dailymale.sk vyšiel jeho debutový článok a internet vybuchol. Okamžite sa katapultoval medzi najobľúbenejších autorov a s každým ďalším príspevkom narastal tlak, aby texty vydal knižne. Tak sa aj stalo. Ak očakávate, že sa dozviete pikošky z geografických a demografických rozdielov a nórskych zvyklostí, máte čiastočne pravdu. Akurát, že ich nemusíte postrehnúť, pretože sa budete práve smiať na jeho neopakovateľných, trefných prirovnaniach alebo na jeho skvostnom majstrovstve špičkovania pointy. Ondrej Sokol sa narodil v roku 1980 v katastri malebného mesta Trenčín. Mal snahu vyštudovať prekladateľstvo a tlmočníctvo, ale po zrušení fakulty sa napokon rozhodol splniť si detský sen a začal jazdiť pre Dopravný podnik Bratislava. Odtiaľ to už nabralo rýchly spád - po štyroch mesiacoch odišiel do Nórska a dobre mu tak. Je to práca vonku, posediačky, s pekným výhľadom a, ako sám vraví, rozmanitá, každý deň ho nasrdí niečo nové. Zároveň dúfa, že reputácia vydaného autora bude mať pozitívny vplyv na jeho sexuálny život.

The Second Mountain
DEBUTED AT NO.1 ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST
NO.1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SOCIAL ANIMAL
Are you on your first or second mountain?
Is life about you - or others?
About success - or something deeper?
The world tells us that we should pursue our self-interest: career wins, high status, nice things. These are the goals of our first mountain. But at some point in our lives we might find that we're not interested in what other people tell us to want. We want the things that are truly worth wanting.
This is the second mountain.
What does it mean to look beyond yourself and find a moral cause? To forget about independence and discover dependence - to be utterly enmeshed in a web of warm relationships? What does it mean to value intimacy, devotion, responsibility and commitment above individual freedom? In The Second Mountain David Brooks explores the meaning and possibilities that scaling a second mountain offer us and the four commitments that most commonly move us there: family, vocation, philosophy and community. Inspiring, personal and full of joy, this book will help you discover why you were really put on this earth.

Ako som vozil Kórejcov
Ak čítate tieto riadky, možno tiež patríte k tým, ktorých uchvátili príbehy Ondreja Sokola, a ste jedným z tých, ktorí nástojili na vydaní ďalšej knihy príhod písaných s nadhľadom šoféra autobusu.
Po dvoch úspešných dieloch o tom, aké je to voziť Nórov, prichádza Ondrej s historkami o vození Kórejcov. Obmena cestujúcich prináša nové spôsoby, akými sa dá šoférovi autobusu skomplikovať život, pričom autor sa vám ich nebojí dopodrobna opísať. Zmena nastáva aj v prostredí – tentoraz sa nebudeme premávať len po Nórsku, ale rovno krížom cez celú Európu. Z Nemecka cez Rakúsko s móresmi z čias monarchie, urobíme si zastávku v čiernej diere strednej Európy a cez našich južných susedov sa pretrmácame na divoký Balkán okolo roku 2014, aby sme sa šťastlivo presunuli vpred v čase aj v priestore za severný polárny kruh...
Čo sa nemení, je Ondrejov typický humor a rozprávačský talent. Automaticky vás vtiahne na sedadlo vodiča medzi fotomaniackeho mnícha a sprievodkyňu. Napínavou jazdou zahraničím zistíte, že nezáleží na tom, či ste v Nemecku, u susedov alebo na Balkáne. Všade sa nájde nejaký dôležitý colník, šéf parkoviska, dôchodca alebo čajka, ktorí vám chcú pokaziť deň.
Kniha obsahuje tradične veľa zábavy, dve záhadné kórejské tabletky a dokonca aj romantickú líniu, v ktorej budete fandiť autorovmu kukovi.
