Anatomy of Violence
Adrian Raine is one of the world's leading authorities on the minds of the violent, the criminal, the dangerous, the unstable. "An Anatomy of Violence" is the culmination of his life's work so far, offering the latest answers to some of the most difficult questions: what are the causes of violence? Can it be treated? And might it one day be stopped? Are some criminals born, not made? What causes violence and how can we treat it? "An Anatomy of Violence" introduces readers to new ways of looking at these age-old questions. Drawing on the latest scientific research, Adrian Raine explains what it reveals about the brains of murderers, psychopaths and serial killers. While once it was thought upbringing explained all, and subsequently explanations shifted to genetics, Raine goes to great pains to explain that anti-social behaviour is complex, and based on the interaction between genetics and the biological and social environment in which a person is raised. But the latest statistical evidence between certain types of biological and early behavioural warning signs is also very strong. Through a series of case studies of famous criminals, Raine shows how their criminal behaviour might be explained on the basis of these new scientific discoveries. But the conclusions point to a host of philosophical and moral issues. What are the implications for our criminal justice system? Should we condemn and punish individuals who have little or no control over their behaviour? Should we act preemptively with people who exhibit strong biological predispositions to becoming dangerous criminals? These are among the thorny issues we can no longer ignore as our understanding of criminal behaviour grows. Praise for Adrian Raine's "The Psychopathology of Crime": "An extremely informative, thoughtful and illuminating book ...a tour de force". (David P Farrington, Psychological Medicine). Adrian Raine is the Richard Perry University Professor in the Departments of Criminology, Psychiatry, and Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. For the past 35 years, his research has focused on the neurobiological and biosocial bases of antisocial and violent behavior, and ways to both prevent and treat it in both children and adults.

Be Dazzled
When I see him, I see us. How we came together, what we created, what we ruined.
The only way to understand how we fell apart is to understand what we were made of in the first place.
Raffy can make anything. He can bedazzle, sew, stitch, drape, and turn the most ordinary objects into fabulous costumes. This year he is determined to win the biggest cosplay competition in Boston. There's only one small problem… Raffy's ex-boyfriend, Luca, is his main competition.
Last year Luca and Raffy made the perfect team after serendipitously meeting in the rhinestone aisle at the local craft store?or at least Raffy thought they did. But Luca's fear of coming out to his family and Raffy's insistence on perfection when it came to their art, caused their relationship to crash and burn. And Raffy has finally picked up the pieces and is determine to have the major comeback he knows he deserves.
But when Raffy ends up partnering with Luca on his most ambitious build yet, he'll have to juggle unresolved feelings for the boy who broke his heart and his own self-doubt as he works to get everything he's ever wanted…and maybe the boy too.

Lada Svetom - Z Horného Vadičova do Libérie
Cestovanie na žobráka nie je len podnázov knihy. Je to drsný a nebezpečný štýl našich ciest. Prepotené sedačky v žigulíku, smradľavé tričká a ponožky, spávanie na zemi pri aute, špina až za ušami. Varíme na ohni a kakáme zásadne do trávy, nejeden okresný hygienik by zaplakal. Príbeh o našej africkej ceste je skoro obyčajný denník, každodenné zápisky z cesty. Maroko, Západná Sahara, Mauretánia, Senegal, Guinea, Libéria a Pobrežie Slonoviny. To všetko na tridsaťročnej ilegálnej Lade 2105, zvanej Vasiľ. Ako sa nám vôbec podarilo prejsť takú cestu, kde sa nám pokazilo auto a kde sme ho pokazili my, kde sme museli platiť niekoľko sto dolárové úplatky, alebo ako sme ukecávali na mol opitých colníkov. Takéto a ešte lepšie historky môžete očakávať.
Autor je politicky nekorektný a občas inklinuje k hrubému slovníku. Taktiež nepochádza z Horného Vadičova, ako by sa z názvu mohlo zdať. Kúpou tejto knihy rozhodne podporíte rozvoj podivného cestovateľského štýlu. Tiež prispejete na nepravidelný servis a údržbu jednej starej žigule.
KAWAII!
Unbelievably cute and easy-to-follow kawaii drawing, broken down into step-by-step exercises that anyone can master.
A completely immediate and straight-ahead guide to drawing Japanese people and places in an appealing kawaii style. “Kawaii” means cute in Japanese, and often refers to a delightful range of drawing styles that Western audiences have come to love.
Annelore Parot, an experienced illustrator and art teacher, has her own distinctive kawaii style based on cute objects, inviting places, and expressive people. Her fans have long demanded a guide to drawing Japan and Japanese things, so she put together the work-throughs in Kawaii!: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Cute Japanese Drawing. Each spread shows, in six or seven steps, how to build up a cute picture with just a few strokes of the pencil: and on the right page of the spread, there’s space for you to practice them yourself. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to create lively people, expressive faces, and evocative scenes.
Parot traveled around Japan to choose the best subjects, and invites the reader to join her in experimenting with buildings, movements, and memorable aspects of Japanese culture. Myths, animals, and food are all included.
Mi micsoda Tűzoltók
Amikor a kék fényjelzéssel és szirénázva rohanó tűzoltóautót meglátjuk, első gondolatunk: hol van tűz? Sokszor valóban tűzesetekhez sietnek a tűzoltók. Még gyakrabban azonban bajba jutott embereket és állatokat szabadítanak ki, közlekedési baleseteknél segédkeznek, viharkárokat hárítanak el, pincéket szivattyúznak ki. A tűzoltók sokrétű és nem ritkán veszélyes munkájukról ír ebben a Mi Micsoda kötetben Rainer Crummenerl. A szerző kíváncsian néz körül a tűzoltólaktanyában, és elkíséri egy bevetésre a vonulási egységet. Mesél a vakmerő "füstugrók" munkájáról, elmagyarázza, hogyan zajlik a repülőgépes tűzoltás, és annak is utánajár, hogyan lesz valakiből tűzoltó.

Felfedezők és utazásaik (DVD melléklettel) 16. kötet
A világ a mai ember számára összezsugorodott. Műholdak kerülik meg a Földet néhány perc alatt, televízió és rádió tudósít távoli tájakról, és az európai turistákat néhány óra leforgása alatt a földteke túlsó oldalára viszik a repülőgépek. Ez nem volt mindig így. Bátor hajósoknak, vakmerő felfedezőknek és fáradhatatlan kutatóknak köszönhetjük, hogy ma sokkal többet tudunk Földünkről, mint az ókor embere. Róluk és kalandjaikról szól a Mi micsoda-sorozat Felfedezők és utazásaik című kötete. Róluk, akik a veszélyeknek fittyet hányva merészkedtek túl az addig ismert világ határain.
A kötet melléklete a "A vasút - Hajók" című angol, német és magyar nyelvű DVD.

Mastering Machine Knitting: From the Thread to the Finished Garment
A very useful step-by-step manual for mastering the creation of knitted garments using a knitting machine in a new updated edition.
In the world of textiles, knitted fabric is one of the most complicated materials to work with but also one of the most used. This is a book for all fashion lovers who, while fascinated by knitted fabric, have not dared to venture into this field, as well as for advanced and professional knitters who want to systematically round off their knowledge. It includes all the steps necessary to create a knitted garment, from the choice of yarn to manufacturing apparel, explaining such things as how to use a flatbed knitting machine correctly and the linking, cutting, sewing and, ultimately, ironing of knitted garments. The book not only takes into account how crucial it is to recognize and develop a stitch. It also acknowledges the importance of knowing how to represent stitches for different machines in a useful way. For the first time, the author describes the various stitches in a clear and well-structured manner with a language of symbols developed for use with all kinds of studio and domestic knitting machines regardless of the brand: Brother, Silver Reed, Passap, Coppo and Dubied. The book includes examples of working with traditional materials like wool, alpaca, cotton and linen but also encourages experimenting with paper, plastic materials and vegetal and metallic yarns to create texture, three-dimensional effects and unusual volumes.
