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.

Between Truth and Time: A History of Soviet Central Television
The first full-length, archive-based history of Soviet Central Television's production and programming in the decades before perestroika
In the first full-length study of Soviet Central Television to draw extensively on archival sources, interviews, and television recordings, Evans challenges the idea that Soviet mass culture in the Brezhnev era was dull and formulaic. Tracing the emergence of play, conflict, and competition on Soviet news programs, serial films, and variety and game shows, Evans shows that Soviet Central Television's most popular shows were experimental and creative, laying the groundwork for Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms and the post-Soviet media system.

V rámci dochovaného materiálu majú takéto zobrazenia podobu samostatných pohľadov na mesto a jeho interiér alebo sú súčasťou tlačí, kde veduta plní podružnú úlohu a slúži skôr na lokalizovanie či dopovedanie určitého obrazového výjavu.

Vždy je zdobil progresivní přístup při hledání nových možností, kladli důraz na koncepční propojení zvuku s obrazem. Měli jedinečné nápady a pořádali originální výpravné koncerty.

Panstvo Soli a smútku
Annaleigh žije so sestrami, s otcom a nevlastnou matkou na osamelom panstve Highmoor na ostrove uprostred nepokojných morí. Kedysi bolo sestier dvanásť, dnes sú však veľkolepé sály panstva studené a prázdne, štyri životy nečakane vyhasli. Jedna smrť bola tragickejšia než druhá – choroba, strmhlavý pád, utopenie, pokĺznutie z útesu. Po okolitých dedinách sa šepká, že rodina je prekliata. Annaleigh klebetám neverí, ale zároveň pochybuje, že šlo o náhodné úmrtia. Ostatné sestry sa po nociach vykrádajú zo svojich izieb, aby tancovali na tajných báloch, v žiarivých črievičkách a hodvábnych róbach, až do úsvitu, a Annaleigh nevie, či sa k nim pridať, alebo im nebezpečné výlety vyhovoriť. Koniec koncov, s kým alebo s čím to vlastne tancujú? Na panstve Highmoore sa deje čosi zvláštne, a Annaleigh musí záhadu vyriešiť, kým nepribudnú ďalšie obete. Mohla by byť jednou z nich.

The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
A searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war
Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest.
But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
Ten years after his prizewinning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths.

The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling
Tom Jones is a foundling discovered on the property of a very kind, wealthy landowner, Squire Allworthy, in Somerset in England's West Country. Tom grows into a vigorous and lusty, yet honest and kind-hearted, youth. He develops affection for his neighbour's daughter, Sophia Western. On one hand, their love reflects the romantic comedy genre that was popular in 18th-century Britain. However, Tom's status as a bastard causes Sophia's father and Allworthy to oppose their love; this criticism of class friction in society acted as a biting social commentary. The inclusion of prostitution and sexual promiscuity in the plot was also original for its time, and also acted as the foundation for criticism of the book's "lowness."
