A 813-as szám rejtélye
Milyen célból érkezett Rudolf Kesselbach, a multimilliomos gyémántkereskedő Párizsba? Miért akarta előkeríteni Pierre Leducöt, a főváros alvilágának egyik figuráját? Mit jelent a gyémántkereskedő egyik dobozán szereplő 813-as szám? Többek között ezekre a kérdésekre kell választ találnia a rendőrségnek és Arsene Lupinnek, miután Kesselbachot kirabolva, holtan találják hotelszobájában, mellette a híres úri betörő névjegykártyájával. Minden jel arra utal, hogy Lupin a tettes, pedig egy titokzatos, feketébe öltözött alak is járja a főváros utcáit...
Maurice Leblanc különösen csavaros krimije most új, teljes fordításban jelenik meg.

„Egy ravasz, lebilincselő regény.” – Lisa Jewell bestsellerszerző
„Ördögien megírt történet.” – Publishers weekly
Laura szülési szabadsága után visszatér munkájához egy jó nevű reklámügynökségnél, de rá kell jönnie, hogy a nőnek, aki helyettesítette, esze ágában sincs visszaadni egykori pozícióját. Annak ellenére, hogy Laura nagyon közeli kapcsolatban áll a cég befolyásos vezérigazgatójával, Harry Wooddal, úgy érzi, félreállítják, miközben igyekszik megfelelni a munka és az anyaság egyformán nehéz kihívásainak.
Mia csupán egy ideiglenes alkalmazott lett volna a Morris és Woodnál, de sikerült mindenki számára nélkülözhetetlenné tennie magát. Mindenki számára, kivéve Laurát. Ha a kollégái tudnák, miért szeretné olyan kétségbeesetten megőrizni az állását, talán nem is akarnák, hogy ott maradjon.
Janie mindent feladott, hogy támogassa a férjét, Harryt és az általa vezetett, sikeres ügynökséget, de neki is megvannak a maga sérelmei és egy sötét titka, amelyet védelmez... és bármire képes lenne, hogy az igazság rejtve maradjon.
A Sunday Times bestsellerszerző, Heidi Perks vérfagyasztó története számos megdöbbentő csavart és fordulatot ígér.

The History of Sexuality: 4
The final major work by one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century
In the fourth and final volume of his far-reaching and influential study of human sexuality, Foucault turns his attention to early Christianity, exploring how ancient ideas of pleasure were modified into the notion of the 'flesh'. Ranging over marriage, procreation and the concept of virginity as a divine state, Foucault brilliantly shows how a fledgling religion altered and defined the Western history of desire. Confessions of the Flesh brings to a conclusion one of the twentieth century's seminal works.

A World History of Women Photographers
A magnificently illustrated showcase of the work of 300 women photographers from all over the world, from the invention of the medium to the dawn of the 21st century.
As in many fields of art history, the work of women photographers has often been overlooked, and few of their names are now widely recognized. However, women were closely involved in all major photography movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, and have used the camera as an extraordinary tool for emancipation and experimentation. These are artists who never stopped documenting, questioning and transforming the world, breaking down social boundaries, challenging gender roles and expressing their imagination and sexuality.
To capture the diversity of this global body of work, Luce Lebart and Marie Robert have invited 160 international women writers to contribute to this volume, which is a bold and beautifully illustrated manifesto as well as an invaluable work of reference.
In Quest of History
Dialog Karla Hvížďaly, novináře-zvědavce z Prahy, s Jiřím Přibáněm, právním filosofem z britského Cardiffu, nad uzlovými body naší historie, ku příležitosti 100. výročí republiky, v širokém teritoriálním i časovém kontextu od 9. do 21. století. Toto rozpětí umožnilo nahlédnout do minulosti a ptát se, proč a jak jsme v různých dobách vnímali a chápali naše dějiny a co to znamená pro naši přítomnost i budoucnost.
S tímto hledáním je spojena i snaha zbavit se redukce dějin na projekční plátno našich frustrací. Autoři zvolili formu dialogu, ve kterém se snaží vrátit do veřejného prostoru otázky, které se většinou řeší jen na akademické půdě nebo kterým se vyhýbáme.

A Brief History of Timekeeping
Press the snooze button on your alarm once too often and you soon remember the importance of good timekeeping. That need to tell the time connects you to over five thousand years of human history, from the first solstice markers at Newgrange to quartz crystal oscillating in your watch today. Science underpins time: measuring the movement of Sun, Earth and Moon, and unlocking the mysteries of quantum mechanics and relativity theory - the key to ultra-precise atomic clocks.
Yet time is also socially decided: the Gregorian calendar we use today came out of fraught politics, while the ancient Maya used sophisticated astronomical observations to produce a calendar system unlike any other. In his quirky and accessible style, Chad Orzel reveals the wondrous physics that makes time something we can set, measure and know.
History of Infographics
In the age of big data and digital distribution, when news travel ever further and faster and media outlets compete for a fleeting slice of online attention, information graphics have swept center stage. At once nuanced and neat, they distill abstract ideas, complex statistics, and cutting-edge discoveries into succinct, compelling, and masterful designs. Cartographers, programmers, statisticians, designers, scientists, and journalists have developed a new field of expertise in visualizing knowledge.
This XL-sized compendium explores the history of data graphics from the Middle Ages right through to the digital era. Curated by Sandra Rendgen, some 400 milestones span astronomy, cartography, zoology, technology, and beyond. Across medieval manuscripts and parchment rolls, elaborate maps, splendid popular atlasses, and early computer-based information design, we systematically break down each work's historical context, including such highlights as Martin Waldseemuller's famous world map, the meticulous nature studies of Ernst Haeckel, and many unknown treasures.
Hot on the heels of the best-selling Information Graphics and Understanding the World, this third volume fills the gap as an unprecedented reference book for data freaks, designers, historians, and anyone thirsty for knowledge. An enthralling exploration into the teachings, research, and lives of generations past.
The History of a Difficult Child
Selam is the youngest child in a large turbulent family. Even before she is born, her omniscience animates life in a Small Town in 1980s southwestern Ethiopia. Selam and her father listen to the radio in secret as the socialist military junta that recently overthrew the government seizes properties and wages civil war in the North. The Asmelashes, once an enterprising, land-owning family, are ostracized under the new regime. In the Small Town where they live, nosy women convene around coffee ceremonies multiple times a day, the gossip spreading like wildfire.
As Selam's mother, the powerful and relentlessly dignified Degitu, grows ill, she embraces a persecuted, Pentecostal God and insists her family convert alongside her. The Asmelashes stand solidly in opposition to the times, and Selam grows up seeking revenge on despotic comrades, neighbourhood bullies, and a ruthless God. Wise beyond her years yet thoroughly naive, she contends with an inner fury, a profound sadness, and a throbbing, unstoppable pursuit of education, freedom, and love.
The History of a Difficult Child is about what happens when mother, God, and country are at odds, and how one difficult child finds her voice.
Sleep & Have Success. Serenity as a Career Strategy
This is what this book brings you: you support climate protection, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because in our performance-hungry and stressful working world, composure is clearly underestimated as a career factor. Anyone who doesn't seem so eager to perform is quickly labeled as an unmotivated slacker who, after all, just wants to shirk work. But the opposite is true: the ability to sleep sufficiently long and deeply is an important, but often underestimated factor for health and performance. Many people are under extreme stress, the balancing act between employer and private life overwhelms many, and in the end this also affects sleep. The ever-faster pace of digital development and the increasing pressure to perform and succeed, and to work as flawlessly as possible, do the rest. Burnout is often the result, but it is avoidable: If you don't let yourself lose your cool, you will not only be healthier in the long term, but also more successful at work. This book gives tips and instructions on self-organization and time management and shows how you can successfully defeat stress through good sleep and increase your own energy, motivation and concentration.

Because especially managers, who have often worked hard for their position, believe that they have to manage everything on their own and find it hard to give up work. At the same time they want to please everyone and can hardly say "no". But this attitude is fatal for personal time management and work efficiency. And the consequences are unmistakable stress and excessive demands. What helps these people is to learn to give up work step by step, to trust other people and to realize that it is possible without them - but without making themselves replaceable.

A Short History of Russia
Russia is a country with no natural borders, no single ethos, no true central identity. At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, it is everyone's 'other'. And yet it is one of the most powerful nations on earth, a master game-player on the global stage with a rich history of war and peace, poets and revolutionaries.
In this essential whistle-stop tour of the world's most complex nation, Mark Galeotti takes us behind the myths to the heart of the Russian story: from the formation of a nation to its early legends - including Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great - to the rise and fall of the Romanovs, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, Chernobyl and the end of the Soviet Union - plus the rise of a politician named Vladimir Putin, and the events leading to the Ukrainian war.
Brief History of Living Forever
An audacious novel set in near-future America, from the critically acclaimed author of SPACEMAN OF BOHEMIA.
When Adela discovers she has a terminal illness, her thoughts turn to Tereza, the American-raised daughter she gave up at birth. Leaving behind her moody, grown son, Roman, in their native Czech village, she flies to the United States to find the long-lost daughter who never knew her.
In New York City, Tereza is working as the star researcher for two suspicious biotech moguls hellbent on developing a 'god pill' to extend human life indefinitely. But before Tereza can find a cure for Adela, her mother dies mysteriously.
Narrated from the beyond by Adela, A Brief History of Living Forever is a high-wire act of storytelling. By turns insightful, moving and funny, the novel blends an immigrant mother's heartbreaking journey through the American dream with her children's quest to reclaim her from a country that would erase any record of her existence.

This is what this book brings you: You support certified climate protection projects, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tried and tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because creative, often slightly chaotic people in particular suffer from the pressure to be efficient in our society and the call to manage their time better sounds almost like a mockery to many of them. At the same time, digitization, employers, and customers are demanding ever more efficient, faster, and, at the same time, high-quality work. Success also requires an ever greater degree of self-organization. All of this leads to stress and excessive demands on creative people in particular, because they lack the right methods to be successful despite the pressure to perform. Burnout is often the result. This book gives tips and instructions for self- and time management, also for creative-chaotic people, and shows how to successfully avoid stress, increase motivation and concentration, and gain quality of life and thus quality of work despite increasing demands in the job.

The History of Western Art
A concise, reader-friendly illustrated survey of Western art and architecture from prehistory to the present day.
Acknowledging how architecture, painting, sculpture and the decorative arts reflect the culture and society of their time, this latest addition to the Art Essentials series invites the reader to experience and appreciate the entirety of Western art from prehistory to today.
Focusing on the 'history' in art history, each of the twelve chapters opens with a question to ponder, followed by a summary of the major historical developments of the period, touching on social structure, political organization, migration, race, religious beliefs, scientific advances and customs. An exploration of these themes in the visual arts reveals how architecture, sculpture and painting simultaneously shape, reflect, and document the culture of the time and place they were created. A secondary focus explores the constantly evolving aesthetic preferences that swing between naturalism and abstraction, with each era and style either rebelling against the previous or seeking to improve it. Antecedents and outside influences are also discussed.
