Spanning Cuban music from rumba to salsa, and graphic styles from socialist realist to geometric abstraction, this volume of Cuban record cover art traces a musical form in constant revolution. The first ever book about Cuban record sleeve design, compiled by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker, Cuba: Music and Revolution features hundreds of rarely seen vinyl records from the start of the Cuban Revolution at the beginning of the 1960s up until 1985, when Cuba's Special Period, brought about by the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the withdrawal of Russia's financial support for the Cuban government, led to the demise of vinyl-record manufacturing in Cuba. The artwork here reflects both the cultural and musical depth of Cuba as well as the political influence of revolutionary communism. Over the past century, Cuban music has produced a seemingly endless variety of styles--rumba, mambo, son, salsa--at a dizzyingly fast rate. Since the 1940s a steady stream of Cuban musicians has also made the migration to the US, sparking changes in North American musical forms: bandleader Machito set New York's jazz and Latin scene on fire, and master drummer Chano Pozo's entry into Dizzy Gillespie's group led to the birth of Latin jazz, to name just two. After the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the new government closed American-owned nightclubs and consolidated the island's recording industry under a state-run monopoly. Out of this new socialist agenda came new musical styles, including the Nueva Trova movement of left-wing songwriters. The 1980s saw more experimentation in modernist jazz, salsa and Afro-Cuban folkloric music. Generously illustrated with hundreds of color images, Cuba: Music and Revolution presents the history of Cuban record cover art, including many examples previously unseen outside the island itself.

Príbeh pôrodnej asistentky inšpirovaný skutočnými udalosťami Ana a jej kamarátka Ester sa ocitnú za železnou bránou Auschwitzu, koncentračného tábora, odkiaľ niet návratu. Keď sa dostanú na začiatok radu, Ana predstúpi a pokojne oznámi, že je pôrodná asistentka – a Ester jej pomocníčka. Na ruky im vytetujú čísla a pošlú ich do pôrodného baraka. Ana pochopí, že v jej rukách sa neocitnú len nevinní novorodenci, ale aj osudy mnohých ďalších detí a sľúbi si, že urobí všetko, čo bude v jej silách, aby ich zachránila. Jedného dňa vtrhnú do baraka dvaja dozorcovia v obávaných esesáckych uniformách a vytrhnú svetlovlasé dieťa jeho matke z náručia. Ana má čo robiť, aby sa ovládla. Aj keď jej srdce puká od žiaľu, pri utešovaní zúfalej ženy zazrie záblesk nádeje. Dozorcovia si berú najzdravšie deti a umiestňujú ich v nemeckých rodinách, takže predpokladajú, že prežijú. V tábore sa navyše šepká, že vojna sa už čoskoro skončí… Ana a Ester preto začnú potajomky označovať matky a ich deti totožným tetovaním a dúfajú, že raz znovu nájdu cestu k sebe. Potom, raz zavčasu ráno, si Ana všimne pod Esteriným tenkým pruhovaným kabátom vydúvajúce bruško... Narodené v Auschwitzi je dojímavý príbeh o nezlomnosti a snahe zachrániť ľudské životy na motívy skutočných historických udalostí.

Street art has established itself as an integral part of the art world in the last few years. The crossover from subculture to high culture is illustrated by the recent attention that this work has been given by renowned institutions such as the Tate Modern and Fondation Cartier as well as by auction houses like Sotheby s. The topic is discussed in art magazines and the cultural pages of leading newspapers and is featured in the syllabuses of art and design schools. As interest soared, the need for information about street art grew. But, until now, there was no insightful view into the thought and work processes of a reticent, heterogeneous scene whose would-be members often don t even identify with the label. Comprised of interviews with 100 key players from around the world, Beyond the Street offers a comprehensive examination of street and urban art. Insiders Patrick Nguyen and Stuart Mackenzie question each of their subjects on every conceivable aspect of t he genre from the past to the future, from the artists ideals to their daily lives, from working in complete freedom to working in the art and commercial worlds. The thought-provoking range of answers make the 400-page book an incomparably extensive source of direct, unfiltered information. Beyond the Street features interviews with leading artists such as Shepard Fairey, Swoon, and Os Gemeos. The book also offers the views of representatives of the most important sales outlets for street art including Jeffrey Deitch and Jonathan LeVine Gallery. In addition, curators from auction houses such as Christie s and Phillips de Pury comment on the development of street art in a classical art context. Interviews with key commentators, collectors, and enthusiasts such as Martha Cooper, Wooster Collective, and Agnes B. provide further insight. Brought together, these separate and distinct perspectives create a uniquely authentic collective portrait of street and urban art that is capt ivating, informative, and entertaining. Each interview in Beyond the Street is richly illustrated with photographs of an inspiring collection of work. In addition to presenting outdoor work, the book also features the pieces that the artists have created for exhibitions and other indoor spaces. The commercial aspect of the street art movement is rigorously documented for the first time. Among the photographs featured are a number of images of the artists studios or the artists themselves at work, providing a rare glimpse into their methods and environments. Features: 12ozProphet.

A vibrant survey of the trends and talents across the globe fuelling street photography today and a fresh take of what street photography is and can be. A world tour of the very best street photography today, Reclaim the Street showcases work by more than 100 contemporary photographers, from the established to the emerging, from all corners of the globe: here is work by Indian practitioner Swarat Ghosh, Thai photographer Jutharat Pinyodoonyachet (aka Poupay), and the Brazilian photographer Gustavo Minas. Truly diverse in scope, it pays long overdue attention to flourishing scenes throughout the world, interweaving thirty-four photographer portfolios, in-depth case studies, and surveys of the geographical hotspots where communities of street photographers are thriving today. Great photographic minds don't think alike, nor are two streets identical: follow these photographers as they capture snapshots of people and places perpetually in flux. The global, and ultimately optimistic and humanistic edge of Reclaim the Street will deepen its readers' love of photography, as well as leave them inspired by the places and people captured through today's sharpest lenses.

Hildegarde Withers is just your average school teacher--with above-average skills in the art of deduction. The New Yorker often finds herself investigating crimes led only by her own meddlesome curiosity, though her friends on the NYPD don't mind when she solves their cases for them. After plans for a grand tour of Europe are interrupted by Germany's invasion of Poland, Miss Withers heads to sunny Los Angeles instead, where her vacation finds her working as a technical advisor on the set of a film adaptation of the Lizzie Borden story. The producer has plans for an epic retelling of the historical killer's patricidal spree--plans which are derailed when a screenwriter turns up dead. While the local authorities quickly deem his death accidental, Withers suspects otherwise and calls up a detective back home for advice. The two soon team up to catch a wily killer. At once a pleasantly complex locked room mystery and a hilarious look at the foibles of Hollywood, The Puzzle of the Happy Hooligan finds Palmer, a screenwriter himself, at his most perceptive. Reprinted for the first time in over thirty years, this riotously funny novel shows why Hildegarde Withers was among the most beloved detectives of the Golden Age American mystery novel.

This is the story of Thomas Lancashire who joined the RAF in 1936 and became one of the famous Trenchard Brats at RAF Halton to be educated and learn the trade of fitter. He was first posted to 7 Squadron in 1939, at that time flying Whitley bombers but decided to advance himself to become a flight engineer on the new Stirling heavy bomber. He was posted to 15 Squadron at Wyton and completed a full tour that included the famous Lbeck raid, the Thousand Bomber assault on Cologne and the follow up on Essen during which he was almost shot down over Antwerp. In July 1942 he was rested and became an instructor until being posted to 97 Squadron flying Lancasters. On his ninth raid of this tour, 11 August 1943, the aircraft was attacked by a night fighter over Belgium but he successfully baled out and was eventually picked up by the Resistance and handed to an escape line. Eventually the group of evaders was betrayed by a German agent and placed in captivity, ending up in Stalag Luft IV at Mhlberg. During this time he escaped but was eventually recaptured and he was forced to share the growing despair and hardships in late 1944, enduring overcrowding, hunger and cold, until the Russian Army liberated the camp and he was airlifted back to the UK. His post-war career took him to Canada where he was employed on the Avro Arrow project until it was abandoned and he was forced to seek work in the USA. He worked with Boeing until his retirement .

Skotsko po česku 2 navazuje na knihu podobného jména, která vyšla v roce 2015. Autor, který strávil většinu svého života ve Skotsku, a poslednich dvacet let ve funkci českého honorárního konzula, stále hledá nepravděpodobné spojitosti mezi zemí v srdci Evropy a zemí na jejim nejvzdálenějším, do Atlantiku vystrčeném okraji. Knihou opět procházejí místa a lidé, dějiny i současnost, kultura, umění a humor i sport, včetně historek z první ruky, podaných autorovým osobitým, uvolněným jazykem. Knihu opět doprovazí originální, na míru šité ilustrace Stuarta Campbella.

Průměrná životnost nového důstojníka tankové jednotky v Normandii se v roce 1944 odhadovala na necelé dva týdny. David Render byl čerstvým absolventem vojenské akademie v Sandhurstu, když ho poslali do Francie, aby nastoupil k veteránské tankové jednotce, která už několik let bojovala s „Pouštními krysami“ (7. tanková divize) v severní Africe. Když se pět dní po invazi připojil k eskadroně Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry, boji ostřílení muži, kterým měl velet, nepředpokládali, že by tam vydržel dlouho. Ovšem během následujících týdnů urputných bojů, v nichž se víc než devadesát procent jeho kolegů, tankových velitelů, stalo oběťmi, jeho schopnost vyváznout z nesčetných bojových střetů nezraněný tato očekávání popřela. Díky tomu získal ve své eskadroně přezdívku „Neodvratný pan Render“. David Render vypráví svůj pozoruhodný příběh, zahrnující všechny velké události posledního roku druhé světové války v západní Evropě, od invaze v Normandii až po pád Německa. Je to příběh o přežití, kamarádství a schopnosti obstát a být považován za vůdce v boji.

„Když přijdu do sboru, nikdo mě ani nepozdraví.“ „Nemám pocit, že by církev byla mojí duchovní rodinou.“ Už jste od někoho podobné výroky slyšeli? Někdy bohužel odpovídají skutečnosti. A to je škoda, zvlášť když v Božím slově nacházíme tolik pokynů, jak se k sobě vzájemně chovat. Každý z nás se občas potýká s problémy ve vztazích s rodiči, manželským partnerem, dětmi, přáteli, sourozenci či kolegy. Jako křesťané se však můžeme nechat vést tím, co nám o vztazích říká Bible. Věřím, že když se biblické principy naučíte uplatňovat v každodenním životě, budete překvapeni, jak radikálně se vaše vztahy s druhými promění. Doufám, že to zažijete nejen vy, ale i lidé z vašeho okolí. Tato kniha je vhodná pro jednotlivce, páry i studijní skupinky. Každá kapitola se zabývá přikázáním na téma vzájemného vztahu mezi věřícími. Je rozdělena do tří částí: – Výklad vysvětluje a objasňuje přikázání – Příklad pomáhá přikázání lépe pochopit – Praxe obsahuje otázky a úkoly, které pomáhají přikázání aplikovat v praktickém životě Kromě 31 kapitol obsahuje kniha i 4 bonusové kapitoly rozebírající další přikázání, která se týkají konkrétnějších situací. „Tato stručná kniha umožňuje lépe pochopit, co to znamená milovat tak, jak to Bůh zamýšlel. Pořiďte si ji. Přečtěte si ji a řiďte se jí.“ – Brad Bigney, hlavní pastor sboru Grace Fellowship Church v Kentucky „Doporučuji ji pro rodinné bohoslužby, studijní skupinky i vyučování jednotlivců.“ – Jim Berg, přednášející biblického poradenství na semináři BJU v Jižní Karolíně „Napsat tuto knihu byl vynikající nápad! Je přesvědčivá a velmi praktická.“ – Martha Peace, autorka knihy Znamenitá žena
