Way to Go
"Is it possibly to write a stunning book about infrastructure? Kate Ascher's books are bliss... Using gorgeous graphics and clear, simple, language, Ascher explains the infrastructure and engineering marvels around us." --Slate.com In our digital age, it's easy to forget that almost everything we enjoy about modern life depends on motion. We ride in cars and on buses and trains to work; enjoy food shipped over oceans; fly high in the sky to any point on the planet. Over the last century, the world has come to rely on its ability to move just about anywhere effortlessly. But what prompted this transformation? What inventions allowed it to happen? And how do the vehicles and systems that keep us in motion today--airports, trains, cars, and satellites--really work? Exploring our incredible interconnected world is the task of Kate Ascher's "The Way to Go: Moving by Sea, Land, and Air." Lusciously illustrated and meticulously researched, "The Way to Go" reveals the highly complex and largely invisible network of global transportation. How is cargo moved from inland factory to seaside port, and how is it transferred from shore to ship? How do ships and planes navigate their routes without landmarks? What happens under the hood of a car or in the undercarriage of a people mover? How did planes become cheaper than ships or trains? Why are some spaceships reusable and others not? What tools are needed to build today's immense bridges and tunnels, and what ensures they don't collapse? How does a helicopter really stay aloft? What happens when lightning strikes an airplane or when one satellite crashes with another? What will the car of tomorrow look like? Focusing on the machines that underpin our lives, Ascher's "The Way to Go" also introduces the systems that keep those machines in business--the emergency communication networks that connect ships at sea, the automated tolling mechanisms that maintain the flow of highway traffic, the air control network that keeps planes from colliding in the sky. Equally fascinating are the technologies behind these complex systems: baggage tag readers that make sure people's bags go where they need to; automated streetlights that adjust their timing based on traffic flow; GPS devices that pinpoint where we are on earth at any second. Together these technologies move more people farther, faster, and more cheaply than at any other time in history. As our lives and our businesses become more entwined with others across the globe, there has never been a better time to understand how transportation works. Indispensable and unforgettable, Kate Ascher's "The Way to Go" is a gorgeous graphic guide to a world moving as never before.
Fete to Remember
It's summertime in the French Pyrenees and the mountain commune of Fogas is en fete. But Christian Dupuy has no time for the frivolity of les vacances. For a start, he's just been struck by the arrows of l'amour and doesn't have a clue how to approach the woman who's stolen his heart. Then there is the not-so-small matter of local politics. With moves afoot to wipe his community from the map, Christian has to enter the fray once more to save the place that he cherishes. In the midst of a sweltering heatwave and with the residents of Fogas at each other's throats over their future, the lovesick and embattled deputy mayor must decide if all really is fair in love and war.

Szép magyar ének I-II. - Fine Hungarian Song I-II.
- Szép magyar ének I. / Fine Hungarian Song I.
"Ez a daloskönyv azért született, hogy elvigye a családokba, baráti társaságokba, közösségekbe az éneklés csodálatos örömét. A válogatás szép magyar énekeinkből: gyermekdalokból, népdalainkból, népies és zeneszerzői dalokból, görög és római katolikus illetve protestáns egyházi énekekből ölel fel egy csokorra valót.
Szándékom a legkülönfélébb alkalmakkor jól használható, gyakorlatias, széles forrásból merítő, igényes és érdekes énekeskönyv összeállítása volt. A dalszövegek mellett jól énekelhető hangnemben írott kottákat találunk, az énekeket érdekes magyarázatok és adatok egészítik ki. A könyv a dalok címét és a magyarázatokat angolul is tartalmazza.
Hiszem, hogy gazdag nemzeti zenekincsünk e darabkája minden magyar és a kultúránk iránt érdeklődő ember számára éppúgy tárháza a hasznos ismereteknek, mint forrása erőnek, jókedvnek, örömnek és szeretetnek. Kívánom, hogy minél többen megtapasztalják!" (a Szerző)
- Szép magyar ének II. / Fine Hungarian Song II.
"Első daloskönyvem, melynek a Szép magyar ének címet adtam, 2009-ben jelent meg. A kiadvány olyan sikert aratott, hogy az elsőt további három kiadás követte. Az eltelt néhány évben belső igényem továbbhajtott egy énekeinket táji sokszínűségükben még gazdagabban bemutató gyűjtemény megteremtése felé. Úgy éreztem, hogy a korábbi kiadásból sok értékes, széles érdeklődésre számot tartó szép magyar ének hiányzik. Ez a felismerés végül is egyáltalán nem meglepő, hiszen jól tudjuk, magyar népdalkincsünk óriási: több százezer lejegyzett dallamával tulajdonképpen kimeríthetetlen. Különösen ösztönzött a kiegészítésre, hogy a magyar népzenekutatás és népzenei életünk néhány kiemelkedő alakjával közelebbi kapcsolatba kerültem. Nagy hatást gyakorolt rám Kallós Zoltán népzenegyűjtővel - épp énekeskönyvem első kiadása révén - kialakult személyes ismeretségem. Munkássága, az általa gyűjtött hatalmas anyag, és persze, az adatközlőkkel, az erdélyi énekes és hangszers előadókkal való találkozások egy különösen szép és értékes zenei-költészeti világba tártak kaput. Mindezt erősítette családom mélyülő szeretete, elköteleződése a magyar népi kultúra iránt. Végül a táncházak egyre népszerűbbé válása is arra biztatott, hogy az ott széles körben ismertté vált énekekből a számomra legkedvesebbekkel tovább bővítsem gyűjteményemet.
Íme tehát, a Szép magyar ének című daloskönyvem II. kötete. Anyagának derékhada a népdalok köréből került ki: zömében kalotaszegi, mezőségi, Maros-völgyi, gyimesi és moldvai énekeinkből, de mások közt például néhány régi unitárius énekkel is gazdagítottuk a könyv tartalmát.
Szeretettel kívánom, használják igaz örömükre daloskönyvem új kötetét is!" (a Szerző)

Middle-earth - From Script to Screen
For the first time ever, the epic, in-depth story of the creation of one of the most famous fantasy worlds ever imagined, a richly illustrated compendium that reveals the breathtaking craftsmanship, artistry, and technology behind the magical Middle-earth of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Motion Picture Trilogies, directed by Peter Jackson.
Middle-Earth: From Script to Screen tells the complete story of how J. R. R. Tolkien s magic world was brought to vivid life on the big screen in the record-breaking film trilogies The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy and The Hobbit Motion Picture Trilogy. Drawing on resources, stories, and content from the archives of the companies and individuals behind the films, much of which have never appeared in print before, as well as interviews with director Peter Jackson and key members of the Art Department, Shooting Crews, Park Road Post, and Weta Digital teams who share their personal insights on the creative process, this astonishing resource reveals: How the worlds were built, brick by brick and pixel by pixel;How environments were extended digitally or imagined entirely as computer generated spaces;How the multiple shooting units functioned;How cast members and characters interacted with their environments.
Daniel Falconer takes fans from storyboard concepts to deep into the post-production process where the films were edited, graded, and scored, explaining in depth how each enhanced the films. He also discusses how the processes involved in establishing Middle-earth for the screen have evolved over the fifteen years between the start and finish of the trilogies. Going region by region and culture by culture in this fantasy realm, Middle-Earth: From Script to Screen describes how each area created for the films was defined, what made it unique, and what role it played in the stories.
Illustrated with final film imagery, behind-the-scenes pictures and conceptual artwork, including places not seen in the final films, this monumental compilation offers unique and far-reaching insights into the creation of the world we know and love as Middle-earth.

Road to Wigan Pier
A searing account of George Orwell's observations of working-class life in the bleak industrial heartlands of Yorkshire and Lancashire in the 1930s, The Road to Wigan Pier is a brilliant and bitter polemic that has lost none of its political impact over time. His graphically unforgettable descriptions of social injustice, cramped slum housing, dangerous mining conditions, squalor, hunger and growing unemployment are written with unblinking honesty, fury and great humanity. It crystallized the ideas that would be found in Orwell's later works and novels, and remains a powerful portrait of poverty, injustice and class divisions in Britain.

Guide to Basic Medical Terminology
The Guide offers an introduction to Basic Medical Terminology on a level and in accordance with requirements of the university programmes of dentistry and general medicine in the Czech Republic. The course reflects local specifics of the Czech medical environment, most notably its strong focus on Latin grammar. The Guide consists of two parts, one for each semester. However, the first section is to certain extent self-contained and as such it can be used by students of one-term courses (dentistry), while the second one is supposed to serve as an independent addition necessary only for students of general medicine.
