Room Outside Garden Design
This is a thoroughly revised and beautifully illustrated edition of the book that first made garden design accessible to everyone. In Room Outside John Brookes invented the highly practical concept of the garden, however large or small, as a usable extension of the home. That was nearly forty years ago and, while the range of products and materials has increased dramatically, the role the garden can play has not changed at all. Indeed, as a retreat from the hectic world of work and as an overflow to family life, our outdoor space has become incredibly important and Room Outside is even more relevant to 21st century living. John Brookes deals systematically with the creation of a contemporary garden whatever its size, from a tiny roof terrace to a substantial suburban plot. He sets the scene by exploring what we can learn from the evolution of garden design and use, and then asks the vital questions: 'What do you want?' and 'What have you got?' Then he brings together all the practical aspects

Street Art Grafiti
Making It & Selling It is a new series that aims to inform young, creative practitioners on how to jump start a career, by providing practical information and invaluable advice, from major players in the field, on how to make and sell their creative output. Sections will investigate tools and materials, roots and influences, where and how to show work, case studies of people doing it, and an extensive list of contacts and resources. Each book in the series will showcase work from the most influential practitioners from around the world. Street Art aims to plug into the buzz surrounding this most contemporary of art forms. Coming from the underground and influenced by graffiti, graphic design, typography, comic books, and digital art, street art is gaining a foothold in galleries and with serious collectors. Many practitioners are self-taught, have highly-developed practical skills, unique and personal visual languages, and a burning intent to be seen and heard. The publishing boom in books on graffiti and street art has so far concentrated on geographical round-ups of found images, often reproduced as poor-quality photographs, alongside monographs of a few star artists. Street Art sets out to provide first person accounts and relevant practical information, explaining various ways of creating imagery, providing a list of contacts and an up to the minute review of the state of the art.

The Catcher in the Rye
The Catcher in the Rye is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen- year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects
the 'phony' aspects of society, and the 'phonies' themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection.
Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a
novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in conventional terms, there is hardly any plot at all). Salinger's style creates an effect of conversation, it is as though Holden is speaking to you persona
lly, as though you too have seen through the pretences of the American Dream and are growing up unable to see the point of living in, or contributing to, the society around you.
Written with the clarity of a boy leaving childhood, it deals with socie
ty, love, loss, and expectations without ever falling into the clutch of a cliche.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu. Zobrazená obálka môže b

Atlas of Fashion designers
Current fashion is a complex phenomenon. In a constant state of constant flux, contemporary fashion combines a mix of the different cultural aspects that inform the modern individual. Atlas of Fashion Designers is born out of this proposition, and features a compilation of the most important fashion designers and their work in the past five years, selected from a multi-disciplinary perspective that display the heterogeneous mix of today’s fashion world. Featured designers all have one trait in common: they were singled out, not only for the quality of their work, but also because they illustrate different perspectives in their approach to fashion. This book includes designers with a wide array of visions, from classical haute couture to those who experiment with developing fields such as anthropology, new textiles, high technology, architecture, art, or recycling. From Ricardo Tiscci, Nicholas Ghesquière to Sybilla, to artists who are primarily concerned with pure fashion such as Lucy Orta, or to those investigators who concern themselves with innovation in the fields of textile research and technology, such as Issey Miyake or Hussein Chalayan. Atlas of Fashion Designers is a very relevant and useful reference in a hybrid society, which is composed of ever increasing heterogeneous elements. By offering a synthetic, fluid and diverse approach to the subject, the “Atlas” draws a map of the complex world of fashion at present time, and looks forward to what it may be tomorrow.

Design Intelligence Made Visi
Design is all around us, it is impossible to avoid. Everything that surrounds us has been designed - from the paperclip and the iPod, to our homes and the way we live. "Design: Intelligence Made Visible" is epic, opinionated, comprehensive in scope and forms the definitive statement on design for this century. Written by Stephen Bayley, one of the world's best known commentators on modern culture and Terence Conran, one of the world's leading designers and arbiters of taste, this book pays tribute to the leading names, movements, materials and processes such as furniture, fashion, cars, graphics, products, signs and symbols. The book combines essential facts with authoritative opinions - everything, as the industrial designer Raymond Loewy once said, from a lipstick to a steamship - but brought right up to date. A series of essays begin by introducing how design has its place in modern cultural history including Terence Conran's definition of design. The main section of the book comprises an A-Z of iconic people, products and processes from 20th century to the present day with biographies of leading designers from past and present, as well as corporate histories, product appraisals, and witty accounts of relevant management, cultural and social theories. A major appendix has Bayley and Conran assessing the up and coming designers of today and finally a chapter on branding concludes with a provocative methodology to assess brand value. Beautifully designed and beautifully written, "Design: Intelligence Made Visible" is simply the indispensable guide to the contents of the modern world.

Celestial Harmonies
A biographical novel in the grand European literary tradition that spans multiple generations and three centuries of tumultuous Central European history, as witnessed by the Esterhazys, a leading Hungarian family. The Esterhazys, one of Europe's most prominent aristocratic families, are indelibly inscribed in the history of the Hapsburg Empire. Having gone through epic conquest, tragedy, triumph and near destruction, the Esterhazy family lore is rich, poignant, entertaining and awe-inspiring. 'Celestial Harmonies' is a national epic in the form of fiction, which Esterhazy writes by reinventing the traditional form of the dynastic saga. Beginning with short sections narrated in the first person, 'Celestial Harmonies' recounts legends, inventions and episodes that form a mosaic in which chronology is abandoned and only one prominent figure exists: 'My Father'. The character of 'My Father' is a Don Juan, a profligate, a tycoon and a scholar, a bishop, an architect, a madman and a tyrant, an envoy and a premier, a student of Helmholtz and the cat in Schrodinger's experiment. He stands for each and every family member, functioning as a mount for simply everything, a man as unlimited and inexhaustible as the power born by the book's fictional family. 'Celestial Harmonies' is a rich, dazzlingly original exploration of the emotional ties that bind men to their fathers, bonds that stand outside time, place and history. Old world glamour meets harsh post-war reality in a novel that touches on all aspects of life and philosophy relevant to us today -- the nature of dictatorship, love, hate and family relationships, to meditations on betrayal, God and Christianity.

The Old Testament: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Eminent biblical scholar Michael D. Coogan offers here a wide-ranging and stimulating exploration of the Old Testament, illuminating its importance as history, literature, and sacred text. Coogan explains the differences between the Bible of Jewish tradition (the Hebrew Bible") and the Old Testament of Christianity, and also examines the different contents of the Bibles used by Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox Christians, and Protestants. He looks at the rise of modern biblical scholarship as well as the recovery of ancient Near Eastern literatures and their significance for biblical interpretation. One particularly interesting section examines three principal characters of the Old Testament--Abraham, Deborah, and David--illuminating important themes connected with them, such as Abraham and covenant and David as poet and warrior. Coogan explores the use of invented dialogue and historical fiction in the Old Testament, the presence of mythic elements in apparently historical accounts, and the relationship of ancient Israelite myths to those of their neighbors. The book considers the Old Testament's idea of divine justice, especially in Ecclesiastes and Job, and looks at notions of the afterlife in the ancient Near East and in ancient Israel. Coogan highlights the significance of the history and literature of the Old Testament and describes how non-biblical evidence, such as archaeological data and texts, has placed the Old Testament in a larger and more illuminating context. The book also discusses law and ritual in the Bible as well as the biblical understandings of prophecy. Here then is a marvelous overview of one of the great pillars of Western religion and culture, a book whose significance has endured for thousands of years and which remains vitally important today for Jews, Christians, and Muslims worldwide."

Talent
How do you find talent with a creative spark? To what extent can you predict human creativity, or is human creativity something irreducible before our eyes, perhaps to be spotted or glimpsed by intuition, but unique each time it appears?
The art and science of talent search get at exactly those questions. Renowned economist Tyler Cowen and venture capitalist and entrepreneur Daniel Gross guide the reader through the major scientific research areas relevant for talent search, including how to conduct an interview, how much to weight intelligence, how to judge personality and match personality traits to jobs, how to evaluate talent in on-line interactions such as Zoom calls, why talented women are still undervalued and how to spot them, how to understand the special talents in people who have disabilities or supposed disabilities, and how to use delegated scouts to find talent.
Identifying underrated, brilliant individuals is one of the simplest ways to give yourself an organizational edge, and this is the book that will show you how to do that. It is both for people searching for talent, and for those being searched and wish to understand how to better stand out.

Tout est fatal
En octobre 1999 sortit chez Albin Michel, et depuis en format poche, un ouvrage remarquable, 999, le livre du millénaire des maîtres du fantastique, anthologie de vingt-neuf nouvelles écrites par les grands maîtres actuels du fantastique contemporain. De ce recueil où l'on ne trouvait pourtant que du bon, sinon du très bon, l'on se souvient surtout d'un texte. Une nouvelle au thème archi-classique – une histoire de tableau hanté –, mais d'une efficacité proprement redoutable. De qui était ce texte qui survolait tous ceux des meilleurs auteurs ? De King, évidemment. De King que l'on finira bien par reconnaître pour ce qu'il est si on le débarrasse des oripeaux (ou des ornements ?) obligatoires de la littérature de genre : à savoir, un formidable écrivain descripteur de la vie des gens simples, des communautés humaines, des détails anodins de la vie quotidienne américaine. Toutes proportions gardées, il y a du Balzac chez King – et si King vous décrit un vide-grenier à Ploucland ou une chambre de motel crasseux, vous êtes persuadés que King passe sa vie à faire les brocantes et à arpenter l'hôtellerie de troisième zone. Le texte en question s'intitule "Quand l'auto-virus met le cap au nord" et il est présent dans Tout est fatal, ce nouveau recueil de nouvelles entièrement écrit par l'ogre (dans le sens de boulimique d'histoires) du Maine. C'est donc l'occasion de lire, ou relire cette nouvelle simplissime et bluffante, et de se demander pour la énième fois comment il fait pour pouvoir toujours transcender les poncifs du genre... ou des genres, car Tout est fatal joue sur diverses tonalités : fantastique, polar, dark fantasy, roman noir, horreur, suspense... Bien sûr il y a toujours ce fond horrifique propre à King, et même un inédit relié à l'univers culte de La Tour sombre. Bref, comment fait-il, lui qui prétend avoir du mal à écrire des nouvelles ? Comment fait-il pour nous donner cette impression terrible de familiarité, gage de la plausibilité de ses histoires invraisemblables ? Ce n'est pourtant pas faute qu'il nous l'explique, au point que sa voix est devenue comme familière. Que ce soit dans ses mémoires, Écriture ou dans tout recueil entre chaque texte, il revendique clairement l'usage des thèmes rebattus , il expose comment lui vient à chaque fois "l'idée", sinon chez qui il l'a "piquée" , allant jusqu'à évaluer lui-même son résultat, se jugeant sévèrement. Au détour de ses explications, de ses confidences (une peur de ses enfants , la mort de sa mère , un périple à moto , une réflexion sous la douche), King lâche de belles choses, comme celle-ci dans l'introduction de la nouvelle éponyme (laquelle n'est pas sans rappeler une des historiettes horrifiques et courtes du Fantômes et Farfafouilles de Fredric Brown ) : "Les histoires sont des artefacts : non pas des choses créées, des choses que nous fabriquons (et dont nous revendiquons la paternité), mais des objets préexistants que nous allons dénicher." Bref, ce serait simple. Tout existe et King n'aurait qu'à se servir, mais voilà : il a avoué un jour à un journaliste qu'il estimait être efficace parce qu'il continuait à avoir encore et toujours besoin de vérifier avant de s'endormir que ne se trouve aucun monstre sous son lit. Aussi, de fait, la proximité presque candide des rapports qu'il entretient avec le lecteur participe de son "efficacité" – si elle n'en est pas la marque de fabrique. Inutile, donc, de passer en revue ici le "contenu" des nouvelles : vous avez déjà lu ce qui s'y trouve. Il y a rarement des idées neuves chez King. Il le dit lui-même. Revenants, autres dimensions, diable en goguette, crimes abominables, pouvoirs maléfiques, auberges hantées, etc. Sauf que King s'accapare chaque thème de façon quasi définitive. Le jeu consiste alors à se demander, une fois tout recueil de King refermé, de quelle nouvelle on se souviendra encore dans plusieurs années (l'auteur de ces lignes se souvient comme si c'était hier de "Desintox Inc" du recueil "Danse macabre" paru... en 1982 et non pas en 1989 comme indiqué dans le livre). De Tout est fatal, laquelle vous marquera ? Celle du collectionneur de graffitis ("Tout ce que vous aimez sera emporté") ? Celle du diable et du pécheur ("L'Homme au costume noir") ? Celle du livreur de pizzas aux pouvoirs diaboliques ("Tout est fatal")? Celle de la chambre d'hôtel hantée ("1408"). Ou alors mémoriserez-vous à jamais le fameux "Un tour sur le Bolid", texte qui déchaîna les médias lorsque King prétendit le vendre sous forme d'e-livre ? À vous de lire. King a dans sa palette une frousse qui correspond à chacun. Et c'est de la bonne. --Francis Mizio

Candide - Or Optimism
With its vibrant new translation, perceptive introduction, and witty packaging, this new edition of Voltaire's masterpiece belongs in the hands of every reader pondering our assumptions about human behavior and our place in the world. Candide tells of the hilarious adventures of the naive Candide, who doggedly believes that "all is for the best" even when faced with injustice, suffering, and despair. Controversial and entertaining, Candide is a book that is vitally relevant today in our world pervaded by-as Candide would say-"the mania for insisting that all is well when all is by no means well."
