Graphic Design School
Graphic Design School is organized into two main sections, 'principles' and 'practice'. The first section deals with the fundamentals of design, such as composition, hierarchy, layout, typography, grid structure, colour and so on. The second section puts these basics into practice, and gives information about studio techniques and production issues relevant to a number of different graphic design disciplines. The last part of the second section provides an overview of some of the different career choices open to students entering the graphic design field.
This seventh edition of Graphic Design School features all-new assignments and fully updated reading lists. Over a third of the images are entirely new, and include a mix of professional work and outstanding student pieces. In addition, Part II: Practice Plus features new software and revisits old print technologies - for example, risograph printing and screen printing - which are becoming increasingly popular forms of production again.
Lacná kniha Kdo by je neznal (-50%)
Jak praví strará lidová moudrost: ve dvou se to lépe táhne. To od nepaměti vědí i tvůrci především zábavných pořadů. Stále se snaží hledat správný kontrast. Jeden je chytrý a druhý hloupý, tlustý a hubený atd. Slavné dvojice vznikají i zanikají, ale ty nejlepší se nám navždy hluboko zapíší do paměti. Tato kniha přináší životní příběhy některých z nich. A již podle jmen jako: Bohdalová * Dvořák, Suchý * Šlitr či Simonová * Chladil je patrné, že se nudit rozhodně nebudete.

Sustainability by Design
Treating the symptoms of global ecological stress isn't enough; we need to think about sustainability in an entirely different light
The developed world, increasingly aware of "inconvenient truths" about global warming and sustainability, is turning its attention to possible remedies-eco-efficiency, sustainable development, and corporate social responsibility, among others. But such measures are mere Band-Aids, and they may actually do more harm than good, says John Ehrenfeld, a pioneer in the field of industrial ecology. In this deeply considered book, Ehrenfeld challenges conventional understandings of "solving" environmental problems and offers a radically new set of strategies to attain sustainability.
The book is founded upon this new definition: sustainability is the possibility that humans and other life will flourish on Earth forever. There are obstacles to this hopeful vision, however, and overcoming them will require us to transform our behavior, both individually and collectively. Ehrenfeld identifies problematic cultural attributes-such as the unending consumption that characterizes modern life-and outlines practical steps toward developing sustainability as a mindset. By focusing on the "being" mode of human existence rather than on the unsustainable "having" mode we cling to now, he asserts, a sustainable world is within our reach.

Micromegas by Voltaire (EN)
Audiobook Micromegas by Voltaire. First published in 1752, Micromegas is one of Voltaire’s best-known works. It is a tale of mordant irony, and actually the original science-fiction short story. Arriving on Earth from the star Sirius, the gigantic explorer Micromégas discovers the people of Earth, so small compared to him that he first believes that no creature this size can hope to achieve any degree of intelligence; he will soon discover the ways and thoughts of these diminutive people, who clearly have an over-inflated idea of their own importance in the universe.

Co by můj syn měl vědět o světě
"Vrávoravý pokus otce vysvětlit dvouletému synovi, jak funguje svět.
Fredrik Backman vtipně stírá všechny úzkosti a nedostatky rodičů jednadvacátého století v půvabné knize plné poctivých obav a nepodmíněných vyznání lásky, která zasáhnou čtenářovo srdce.
Mému synovi. Už teď tě prosím o prominutí. Za všechno, co udělám špatně. Za všechno, k čemu se nedostanu. Za minibus. Za šortky. Za tričko „Toto krásné tělo vytvořilo pivo“. Za snahu dát si „high-five“ s tvými kamarády. Za tuhle knihu. Knihu o věcech, které si myslím, že bys měl vědět o světě. O fotbalu, IKEA, o tom, jaké je být mužem, o Bohu a smažené zmrzlině Snickers. O tom, jaké je to ztratit klíče od auta a proč musel taťka zabít zpívající plastovou žirafu.
Většina této knihy je o snaze být dobrým rodičem. Protože chci, abys věděl, že jsem vážně udělal to nejlepší, co jsem mohl.
Nikdo negoogloval tolik jako já."

Algorithms to Live By
A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives.What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime?Exploring how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, `Algorithms To Live By' helps to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind. When should you switch between different tasks, and how many tasks should you take on in the first place? How much messiness should you accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favourites is the most fulfilling? When computers face constraints of time and space, they too must untangle very human questions: how to have better hunches, when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us.Acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the algorithms developed for computers can be applied from finding your spouse to finding a parking spot, from organizing your inbox to understanding the workings of memory. Where you have a dilemma, they have a rule, and each fascinating algorithm turns the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.
Nemali by sme
Medzi láskou a nenávisťou je veľmi tenká hranica, ktorú by sme nemali prekročiť. Hej, nemali by sme… Ale balansovať nad priepasťou je niekedy také zábavné!
Bennett Fox mi do života vstúpil v jedno nepríjemné pondelkové ráno. Meškala som v prvý deň do práce – do novej práce, o ktorú som mala teraz pre nečakanú fúziu bojovať. Na upevnení svojej pozície vo firme som pritom drela osem rokov. Kým som si sťahovala veci do nových priestorov, za stieračom som si našla pokutu za parkovanie. Dostali ju všetky autá na ulici okrem toho predo mnou – šlo o rovnaké audi, ako mám ja. Naštvalo ma to, preto som sa rozhodla, že mu svoju pokutu podarujem. Dúfala som, že ju majiteľ zaplatí a nič si nevšimne. Nanešťastie som mu pritom zlomila stierač. Uznajte, mohlo to byť horšie?
Vo výťahu som potom stretla neskutočne príťažlivého chlapa. To mi trochu zlepšilo náladu. Poznáte to - motýliky v bruchu, zrýchlený dych, napätie, že by sa dalo krájať. Pri vystupovaní z výťahu na mňa pozrel takým žeravým pohľadom, až ma zalial rumenec. Možno má tá fúzia predsa len svoje výhody. Tak sa mi aspoň zdalo, kým som nevkročila do šéfovej kancelárie a nespoznala svojho konkurenta.
Z chlapa vo výťahu sa razom stal môj úhlavný nepriateľ. A ten žeravý pohľad? Ani zďaleka nešlo o príťažlivosť. Videl, ako som mu poškodila auto, a nevedel sa dočkať, kedy ma zničí.

Capaldi Lewis - Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent CD
Po tom, ako sa minulý mesiac dostal priamo na vrchol britského singlového rebríčka so skladbou 'Forget Me', čím sa stal jeho tretím britským číslom 1, Lewis Capaldi dnes oznamuje svoj úplne nový album, ktorý vychádza 19. mája 2023 na EMI Records. Je to pokračovanie jeho debutu "Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent", ktorý bol najpredávanejším britským albumom oboch rokov 2019 a 2020. Takže pre album No. 2 je myšlienka jednoduchá, ale silná: ísť do toho a urobiť presne to isté. Žiadne zvončeky, píšťalky alebo hviezdni speváci a žiadne zbytočne drahé pobyty vo vzdialených štúdiách. "Nechcem pre seba vytvárať nový zvuk, ani sa znovu objavovať." Hovorí Lewis. "Piesne, ktoré chcem napísať, sú emocionálne piesne, o láske alebo strate."
