Chinese Cabbages
Chinese Cabbages are a group of nutrient-dense Cruciferous vegetables. Some recent scientific researches conducted at the William Paterson University, New Jersey concluded that Cruciferous vegetables and dark leafy greens are the most nutrient-dense, plant-based foods available today. Among 47 nutritious foods studied, Chinese cabbages are the second-most nutrient-rich food, only after watercress. This small book of 100 pages explains in detail growing practices, health benefits, food preparations, and nutrient information of two varieties of Chinese Cabbages, i.e. bok choy/pak choi and napa cabbages.

Modern nevelés, Magyar nevelés
Karácsony Sándor (1891-1952) a magyar pedagógia történetének egyik legeredetibb alkotója, legnagyobb hatású nevelője. Kora szellemi életének nagyjai ismerték el munkásságát, a legnagyobb elismerést azonban az akkori ifjúságtól kapta: diáknemzedékek sora szerette és követte kedves Sándor bátyját. Hatása ma is tovább munkál a tanítványok tanítványaiban.
E könyv műveiből válogatott jellegzetes részletekkel, ennek a hatásnak a titkát igyekszik feltárni. S a nevelés alapvető kérdéseire adott válaszai talán azért várnak "újrafelfedezésre", mert a választ anyagi és emberi tényezőkön túlhaladva keresi és találja meg.

The Final Painting
A selection of the last paintings of 30 of the greatest artists
Not the last painting - as that is often uncertain - but several carefully selected works these artists have made close the end of their lives
30 intriguing and compelling artist biographies
Includes a wide range of artists, from Giotto and Van Eyck, to Kahlo, Hopper and Picasso
Includes interesting biographical information, fragments from rarely seen letters and testimonials
An intense focus on the late and final work of great painters has become a striking trend in recent years. Exhibitions have been devoted to 'the Late' Raphael, Tintoretto, Rembrandt, Goya, Turner, Manet, Gauguin, Monet, Matisse and Pollock and fresh research has been carried out into the work these artists produced in the twilight of their careers. This has led in many cases to surprising discoveries and a renewed appreciation of the late work.
The Final Painting collects these fresh insights into 30 of the world's greatest painters and their last works in a highly readable book, beginning with Jan van Eyck and ending with Pablo Picasso. Besides the painters mentioned already, it includes Bellini, Titian, Caravaggio, El Greco, Rubens, Artemisia Gentileschi, Cézanne, Klimt, Renoir, Modigliani, Munch, Mondrian, Kahlo and Hopper. Persistent myths and clichés are challenged: Van Gogh was not the solitary figure as so often suggested: the story behind Raphael's celebrated La Fornarina was made up in the 19th century; the elderly Tintoretto did not paint many of his huge late canvases single-handedly; and Manet's last works are much more than the paintings of a terminal patient.
The Masterplan With Chinese Characteristics
The Master plan with Chinese Characteristics is a philosophical analysis of the strategies employed by the current Chinese leadership when dealing with Western nations in particular, and foreign countries in general. Both in terms of trade and politics. It focuses on the various methods China is using to extract technology and concessions from its trade partners and evaluates whether these are deemed fair and just. It theorizes the merits of doing business with China and proposes how to counter its perceived unfair practices.

Lacná kniha Cursed Britain: A History of Witchcraft and Black Magic in Modern Times (-70%)
The definitive history of how witchcraft and black magic have survived, through the modern era and into the present day
Cursed Britain unveils the enduring power of witchcraft, curses and black magic in modern times. Few topics are so secretive or controversial. Yet, whether in the 1800s or the early 2000s, when disasters struck or personal misfortunes mounted, many Britons found themselves believing in things they had previously dismissed - dark supernatural forces.
Historian Thomas Waters here explores the lives of cursed or bewitched people, along with the witches and witch-busters who helped and harmed them. Waters takes us on a fascinating journey from Scottish islands to the folklore-rich West Country, from the immense territories of the British Empire to metropolitan London. We learn why magic caters to deep-seated human needs but see how it can also be abused, and discover how witchcraft survives by evolving and changing. Along the way, we examine an array of remarkable beliefs and rituals, from traditional folk magic to diverse spiritualities originating in Africa and Asia.
This is a tale of cynical quacks and sincere magical healers, depressed people and furious vigilantes, innocent victims and rogues who claimed to possess evil abilities. Their spellbinding stories raise important questions about the state's role in regulating radical spiritualities, the fragility of secularism and the true nature of magic.

The Chinese Yam or Light Root Dioscorea batatas
The veneration and appreciation of the Chinese yam or Shanyao (Dioscorea batatas) in China and its neighbouring countries has a long tradition indeed.In the last decades scientific research has been carried out in these countries regarding its nutritional value as food for humans.Additionally and quite unexpectedly, confirmation of the importance of this plant came from Europe. As early as 1924 Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy, remarked that this is the only plant being able to gather light ether in its roots. For this reason he recommended that in Europe, too, it would be beneficial if this root would be consumed on a regular basis.Rudolf Steiner's words raise some questions. How should we understand and interpret this observation.The present book endeavours to answer these questions. It tries to elucidate Steiner's remark on the yam as light root and its relevance for us today.

Lacná kniha An American Dream (Harper Perennial Modern Classics) (-50%)
A key backlist title from the highly acclaimed author of The Naked and the Dead and The Fight". War hero, ex-Congressman, a professor of 'popular but somewhat notorious reputation', television personality and husband of the rich and beautiful Deborah ('a girl who would have been bored by a diamond as big as the Ritz'), Stephen Rojack lived the "American Dream". But his enviable life concealed a strange tension, the constant 'itch to jump', and when one day he finally cracks and strangles his luscious wife, he unleashes a personality of undreamt-of ferocity. A wanted murderer, Rojack is suddenly catapulted into an alien world of gangsters, crumbling tenements and downtown bars. Here, he meets Cherry, a small-time singer who ekes out her living in sleazy nightclubs, waiting for a break. She's the woman Rojack falls for, dangerously, desperately, tragically! A powerful exploration of one man's quest for depravity, "An American Dream" shocked the USA on first publication in 1965 with its graphic depictions of sex and violence. One of the key works of twentieth-century American literature, the novel's white-hot prose makes it, for many, Mailer's finest achievement."

Technika hry na bicí soupravu I. / Modern Fusion Drumming 2000
Cílem publikací Technika hry na bicí soupravu I. - IV., tedy titulů Modern Fusion Drumming 2000, World of Drumset Rudiments, Universe of Drumset Techniques a Advanced Rhythmic Studies & Double Bass Drumming je rozvoj rytmického cítění hráče, nácvik náročnějších prvků v rámci zdokonalování moderní techniky hry na bicí soupravu. Obsahem titulu jsou příklady cvičení v nejrůznějších tempech, napříč mnohými i současnými hudebními žánry s jejich podskupinami, např. popu, jazzu, funky, či latinskoamerických rytmů nebo rocku, vč. kategorie hard&heavy. Materiály jsou rozděleny do několika hlavních kapitol, ve kterých se zabývám různými postupy koordinace končetin, a to v binárním i ternárním rytmickém pásmu. Nechybí moderní rytmy shuffle, resp. half-time shuffle s doprovodnými rytmy na dva pedály velkých bubnů, příp. dvojpedálu. Jde o ojedinělou dvojjazyčnou komplexní cvičební systematiku hry na soupravu bicích nástrojů. Jsou určeny mírně až vysoce pokročilým hráčům a vhodné zejména pro studenty hudebních škol.
Autor je lektor a účinkující např. s Laďou Kerndlem, Helenou Blehárovou, Combem Orchestru Gustava Broma, Brněnskými jazzovými legendami, a s předními domácími i zahraničními sólisty.
Lacná kniha A modern-kór - Tünetek és ellenszerek (-49%)
A jelenlegi különös konformizmus közepette az abortuszellenes embert szélsőjobboldalinak minősítik, azt pedig, aki úgy merészel nyilatkozni, hogy a homoszexualitás erkölcsileg elítélendő, szükségképpen szellemileg elmaradottnak tartják, aki legföljebb megvetésre méltó. Talán nem magánügy az erkölcs? Szabadságunknak talán nem a másoké az egyetlen korlátja? Ebben a kontextusban kényelmetlenül érzi magát a konzervatív gondolkodású ember, főként ha nem vesz részt a kultúra játékában, s nem ajándékozzák meg az (igaz, megbélyegző) "értelmiségi" titulussal.
