To Be A Man
Deftly weaving from one end of life to another - from ageing parents to newborn babies, from a young girl's coming-of-age to an old woman's unexpected delivery of a strange new second youth, from mystery and wonder at a life at its close or at a future waiting to unfold, Nicole Krauss's stories illuminate the moments in the lives of women in which the forces of sex, power and violence collide.
With sons and lovers, seducers and friends, husbands lost and regained, or husbands who were never husbands at all, how many men does can a woman's lifetime hold? What does it mean to be a man and a woman together; or a man and a woman, once together and now apart?
Beautiful, taut and dark, spinning across the world, from Switzerland, Japan and New York to Tel Aviv, Los Angeles and South America, To Be a Man delves with originality and timeliness into questions of masculinity and violence, regret and regeneration, control and desire; and shines a fierce, unwavering light onto men and women, and into the uncharted gulfs that lie between them.

Rolling Stones, The - On Air CD
Kultovní rocková kapela v čele s neopomenutelným Mickem Jaggerem Rolling Stones vydává kolekci rádiových nahrávek On Air, která posluchače přenese do unikátní éry, kdy kapela hrála hudbu, kterou milovala ze všeho nejvíc – blues, R&B, soul a dokonce i country. Skladby pochází z nejsyrovějších let, kdy byla zpečetěna jejich domácí nadvláda a prestižní pozice na světové hudební scéně s titulem nejlepší rock’n’rollové kapely už klepala na dveře zkušebny. On Air je jedním z nejvášnivějších a nejintenzivnějších materiálů, který kdy „Stouni“ vydali.
Deska se skládá ze 32 zřídka slyšených rádiových nahrávek. Osm z nich kapela nikdy nehrála na živo, ani je nikdy komerčně nevydala, a dalších sedm zaznělo v rádiovém éteru ještě před tím, než vyšly na některé z desek či EP. Vlajkovou písní je debutový singl a zároveň první skladba, která za kapelu zazněla v ikonickém Saturday Clubu Come On. On Air dále obsahuje známé do R&B laděné skladby Roll Over Beethoven nebo Memphis, Tennessee, bluesové začátky ztělesněné například ve Fannie Mae nebo Cops And Robbers a v neposlední řadě i syrovou a živelnou tvorbu z dílny Jagger/Richards, jako je (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, The Last Time nebo The Spider And The Fly.
On Air je rovněž důležitým historickým artefaktem blízkého vztahu Rolling Stones a nahrávacích sessions BBC, který je ilustrován vysokou frekvencí, se kterou navštěvovali jejich studia v 60. letech. Nahrávky zachycené na desce jsou na pomezí precizní studiové tvorby a energických živých vystoupeních. On Air je dílem kapely v sestavě Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Brian Jones a Bill Wyman.

Haunted Castles
Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by award-winning director Guillermo del Toro Filmmaker and longtime horror literature fan Guillermo del Toro serves as the curator for the Penguin Horror series, a new collection of classic tales and poems by masters of the genre. Included here are some of del Toro's favorites, from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Ray Russell's short story 'Sardonicus', considered by Stephen King to be 'perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written', to Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and stories by Ray Bradbury, Joyce Carol Oates, Ted Klein, and Robert E. Howard. These stunningly creepy deluxe hardcovers will be perfect additions to the shelves of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal aficionados everywhere. Haunted Castles Haunted Castles is the definitive, complete collection of Ray Russell's masterful Gothic horror stories, including the famously terrifying novella trio of 'Sardonicus', 'Sanguinarius', and 'Sagittarius'. The characters that sprawl through Haunted Castles are frightful to the core: the heartless monster holding two lovers in limbo; the beautiful dame journeying down a damned road toward depravity (with the help of an evil gypsy); the man who must wear his fatal crimes on his face in the form of an awful smile. Engrossing, grotesque, perverted, and completely entrancing, Russell's Gothic tales are the best kind of dreadful. Ray Russell was born in 1924 in Chicago, Illinois, and served in the United States Air Force during World War II in the South Pacific. After the war, he attended the Chicago Conservatory of Music and eventually joined the editorial staff at Playboy, where he published such writers as Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Matheson, Jack Finney, Robert Bloch, and Charles Beaumont. His best-known work, 'Sardonicus', was called by Stephen King 'perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written'. He died in Los Angeles in 1999. Guillermo Del Toro is a Mexican director, producer, screenwriter, novelist, and designer, most famous for his Academy Award-winning film, Pan's Labyrinth, and the Hellboy film franchise. He has received the Nebula, Hugo, and Bram Stoker awards and is an avid collector and student of arcane memorabilia and weird fiction.

A Journey Through Art
A Journey Through Art is a global history of art with a time- travel twist, taking young readers on a expedition from the Paleolithic period to the present day, voyaging to thirty locations around the world. As readers travel from one incredible destination to the next, they discover the amazing network of caves carved into the rock in AD 500 at Ajanta, India; Cambodia's Angkor Wat as it stood in AD 1200; the glories of Renaissance Florence in AD 1500; and the remarkable energy of New York in the 1950s. At every location readers encounter stories of artworks and the cultures that surrounded them.
The journey is chronological with three sections: prehistoric and ancient; medieval and early modern; and modern and contemporary. Two beautifully illustrated spreads showcase each destination, allowing children to engage with the art, artifacts, and culture of a unique place in time as Aaron Rosen tells the story of how art developed across the world.
Mizení
Zatímco středem zájmu evropské filosofické tradice je zejména zjevování se věcí, teorie a filosofie médií, tak jak ji zde představujeme, se zaměřuje na nástroje, techniky a praktiky, které vůbec objevování umožňují. Mediální operace určují, co může, a naopak co nesmí být zobrazeno či vysloveno. Zánik určitých formací je pak logicky spojen i se změnou/vynálezem nové techniky, ale i s reflexí či překročením daných materiálně-technicky´ch dispozic – proto získávají na významu operace dezintegrace, destabilizace, rozvázání vazeb zdánlivě stabilních formací (např. politických režimů, které zajišťují instituce, technik kontroly, ale i formálních prvků uměleckých projevů a myšlenkových konceptů).
Kolektivní monografie vychází z dialogu inspirovaného mezinárodní konferencí Dis/appearing, sleduje základní mediální operace objevování a mizení a zhodnocuje několikaleté česko-německé diskuse zaměřené na společná teoretická a filosofická východiska vztahující se k medialitě. Navazuje zejména na fenomenologickou tradici, která historicky spojuje německou a českou filosofii, s cílem její kritiky a nové interpretace ve vztahu k současným otázkám výzkumu médií a kulturních technik. Autoři jednotlivých textů vycházejí z různých oborů a jsou z českého (Václav Krůček, Miroslav Petříček, Martin Pokorný, Karel Thein, Josef Vojvodík) i německého prostředí (Claudia Blu¨mleová, Nadja Ben Khelifaová, Manuela Klautová, Bettine Menkeová, Katharina Reinová, Jörg Sternagel, Wolfgang Struck). Příspěvky autorů jsou rámovány mezinárodním pohledem na tuto problematiku (Georges Didi-Huberman, Matthew Solomon), vstupním textem vymezujícím rámce společné metody (Lorenz Engell, Bernhard Siegert) a komentářem editorek Kateřiny Svatoňové a Kateřiny Krtilové.

Operation Pedestal: The Fleet That Battled To Malta 1942
In August 1942, beleaguered Malta was within weeks of surrender to the Axis, because its 300,000 people could no longer be fed. Churchill made a personal decision that at all costs, the 'island fortress' must be saved. This was not merely a matter of strategy, but of national prestige, when Britain's fortunes and morale had fallen to their lowest ebb.
The largest fleet the Royal Navy committed to any operation of the western war was assembled to escort fourteen fast merchantmen across a thousand of miles of sea defended by six hundred German and Italian aircraft, together with packs of U-boats and torpedo craft. The Mediterranean battles that ensued between 11 and 15 August were the most brutal of Britain's war at sea, embracing four aircraft-carriers, two battleships, seven cruisers, scores of destroyers and smaller craft. The losses were appalling: defeat seemed to beckon.
This is the saga Max Hastings unfolds in his first full length narrative of the Royal Navy, which he believes was the most successful of Britain's wartime services. As always, he blends the 'big picture' of statesmen and admirals with human stories of German U-boat men, Italian torpedo-plane crews, Hurricane pilots, destroyer and merchant-ship captains, ordinary but extraordinary seamen.
Operation Pedestal describes catastrophic ship sinkings, including that of the aircraft-carrier Eagle, together with struggles to rescue survivors and salvage stricken ships. Most moving of all is the story of the tanker Ohio, indispensable to Malta's survival, victim of countless Axis attacks. In the last days of the battle, the ravaged hulk was kept under way only by two destroyers, lashed to her sides. Max Hastings describes this as one of the most extraordinary tales he has ever recounted. Until the very last hours, no participant on either side could tell what would be the outcome of an epic of wartime suspense and courage.

Surely Youre Joking Mr. Feynman
Richard P. Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. In this lively work that "can shatter the stereotype of the stuffy scientist" (Detroit Free Press), Feynman recounts his experiences trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets-and much more of an eyebrow-raising nature. In his stories, Feynman's life shines through in all its eccentric glory-a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah.
Included for this edition is a new introduction by Bill Gates.
