The Spirit Of Rum
Three different spellings (rum, rhum, ron) for just one spirit: the one which comes from the Caribbean and the first American colonies of the seventeenth century. This book will lead you to discover this extraordinary spirit obtained from the distillation of cane sugar (agricultural) or molasses (industrial), introducing you to the history, production methods, and different styles (Spanish, British, Jamaican, French) existing today. In fact, there are very many types of rum, which differ in fermentation times, distillation equipment used, and aging: it is a varied world that this guide will help you to know and to understand.
The most recognized rums sold today will be illustrated in 40 profiles, tracing their characteristics and describing their taste and colour. For each of them, a cocktail recipe will be proposed showing its ideal use. Furthermore, the final section will suggest a selection of classical or innovative cocktails based on rum and will give you all the information necessary to prepare them easily.
This is also thanks to splendid photographs by Fabio Petroni, a master of the still-life genre.

Fans couldn't get enough of Wolverine! Storm! Cyclops! Beast! Nightcrawler! Jean Grey! Not to mention Professor X, and his nemesis, Magneto! The X-Men brought a level of nuance and storytelling sophistication that hadn't been seen in mainstream comics, and now, with thousands of comics, and ten feature films to date, the X-Men have cemented their place as one of the greatest super hero teams in history. With 192 pages of images, and text by Roy Thomas, The Little Book of X-Men will be your favorite guide to comics' greatest mutant team! (c) MARVEL

A szabadkőműves Budapest - A páholyok szövetsége a Magyar Kultúra (1913-1944) tükrében
A szabadkőművesek valós szerepének vizsgálatára 1913-ban még semmilyen levéltári forrás nem állhatott rendelkezésre a páholyokból, de az akkor megindult jezsuita Magyar Kultúra című lap azt a célt tűzte ki, hogy felveszi a harcot az ateista forradalmárokkal szemben. A Bangha Béla szerzetes által irányított szellemi küzdelem hevében olyan tudás acélosodott meg, amely nemcsak védekezett, hanem látványos támadásokat bonyolított le az országhódítók irányába.
Dömölki János ezekből, a Magyar Kultúrában megjelent írásokból állított össze egy kötetet, amely tökéletes kiegészítője Raffay Ernő történész kutatásainak. Hiszen amíg Raffay a titkos szervezet belső konspirációit leplezi le, addig Dömölki azt ismerteti, hogy az adott korban miként látták a szabadkőműves mesterkedéseket a Magyar Kultúra szellemi honvédői. Nekik nem voltak bizonyítékaik, de figyelték az akkori idők jeleit és nagyjából olyan kortünetet írtak le, mintha a zsebükben lettek volna a titkos összejövetelek jegyzőkönyvei. Bámulatos összegzéseik azt igazolják, hogy a tudás és a szellemi erő mekkora leleplezésre képes, ha tisztában vagyunk ennek az erejével.
Dömölki János nem most kezdte a tematikus kötetek összeállítását. Személyében korunk egyik legjelentősebb "szabadkőműves-szakértőjéről" van szó, aki mások mellett olyan műveket állított össze, mint a szabadkőművesség magyar nyelvű irodalmának kalauza és bibliográfiája 1786-2017 között. Saját könyvtára az ország egyik legjelentősebb szabadkőműves vonatkozású gyűjteményével rendelkezik. És ami még ennél is fontosabb, Dömölki János is azt az utat járja, mint Raffay Ernő.

The World Atlas of Coffee
Coffee has never been better, or more interesting, than it is today. Coffee producers have access to more varieties and techniques than ever before and we, as consumers, can share in that expertise to make sure the coffee we drink is the best we can find. Where coffee comes from, how it was harvested, the roasting process and the water used to make the brew are just a few of the factors that influence the taste of what we drink.
Champion barista and coffee expert James Hoffmann examines these key factors, looking at varieties of coffee, the influence of terroir, how it is harvested and processed, the roasting methods used, through to the way in which the beans are brewed. Country by country - from Bolivia to Zambia - he then identifies key characteristics and the methods that determine the quality of that country's output. Along the way we learn about everything from the development of the espresso machine, to why strength guides on supermarket coffee are really not good news.
This is the first book to chart the coffee production of over 35 countries, encompassing knowledge never previously published outside the coffee industry. For everyone who wants to understand more about coffee and its wonderful nuances and possibilities, this is the book to have
OWC Joseph Andrews and Shamela
'I beg as soon as you get Fielding's Joseph Andrews, I fear in Ridicule of your Pamela and of Virtue in the Notion of Don Quixote's Manner, you would send it to me by the very first Coach.' (George Cheyne in a letter to Samuel Richardson, February 1742) Both Joseph Andrews (1742) and Shamela (1741) were prompted by the success of Richardson's Pamela (1740), of which Shamela is a splendidly bawdy parody. But in Shamela Fielding also demonstrates his concern for the corruption of contemporary society, politics, religion, morality, and taste. The same themes - together with a presentation of love as charity, as friendship, and in its sexual taste - are present in Joseph Andrews, Fielding's first novel. It is a work of considerable literary sophistication and satirical verve, but its appeal lies also in its spirit of comic affirmation, epitomized in the celebrated character of Parson Adams. This revised and expanded edition follows the text of Joseph Andrews established by Martin C. Battestin for the definitive Wesleyan Edition of Fielding's works. The text of Shamela is based on the first edition, and two substantial appendices reprint the preliminary matter from Conyers Middleton's Life of Cicero and the second edition of Richardson's Pamela (both closely parodied in Shamela). A new introduction by Thomas Keymer situates Fielding's works in their critical and historical contexts.

Arnold Schoenberg
The most radical and divisive composer of the twentieth century, Arnold Schoenberg remains a hero to many, and a villain to many others. In this refreshingly balanced biography, Mark Berry tells the story of Schoenberg's remarkable life and work, situating his tale within the wider symphony of nineteenth- and twentieth-century history. Born in the Jewish quarter of his beloved Vienna, Schoenberg left Austria for his early career in Berlin as a leading light of Weimar culture, before being forced to flee in the dead of night from Hitler's Third Reich.
He found himself in the United States, settling in Los Angeles, where he would inspire composers from George Gershwin to John Cage. Introducing all of Schoenberg's major musical works, from his very first compositions, such as the String Quartet in D Major, to his invention of the twelve-tone method, Berry explores how Schoenberg's revolutionary approach to musical composition incorporated Wagnerian late Romanticism and the brave new worlds of atonality and serialism. Essential reading for anyone interested in the music and history of the twentieth century, this book makes clear Schoenberg changed the history of music forever.

The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt
A graphic biography of one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. 'Incredible' Deborah LevyA hero of political thought, the largely unsung and often misunderstood Hannah Arendt is perhaps best known for her landmark book, The Origins of Totalitarianism. Arendt led an extraordinary life.
Having endured Nazi persecution firsthand, she fled across Europe, coming to live in a world inhabited by such luminaries as Marc Chagall, Marlene Dietrich, Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. She ultimately sacrificed her unique genius for philosophy and her love of a much-compromised man - the philosopher and Nazi-sympathiser Martin Heidegger - for what she called `love of the world'. Strikingly illustrated, this compassionate and timely biography illuminates the life of a complex, controversial, deeply flawed yet irrefutably courageous woman whose experiences and writings shine a light on how to live as an individual and a public citizen in troubled times.
