The Trumpet-Major
Hardy distrusted the application of nineteenth-century empiricism to history because he felt it marginalized important human elements. In The Trumpet Major, the tale of a woman courted by three competing suitors during the Napoleonic wars, he explores the subversive effects of ordinary human desire and conflicting loyalties on systematized versions of history.

The Great Impersonation
Excerpt:The trouble from which great events were to come began when Everard Dominey, who had been fighting his way through the scrub for the last three quarters of an hour towards those thin, spiral wisps of smoke, urged his pony to a last despairing effort and came crashing through the great oleander shrub to pitch forward on his head in the little clearing. It developed the next morning, when he found himself for the first time for many months on the truckle bed, between linen sheets, with a cool, bamboo-twisted roof between him and the relentless sun. He raised himself a little in the bed."Where the mischief am I?" he demanded.

Supernatural: The Work of Ross Lovegrove
This book is the first monograph on the product designer Ross Lovegrove. Written by the designer himself, with a forward by Paola Antonelli, it presents a complete overview of the designer's career, featuring realized and unrealized project. While the main texts explains Ross Lovegrove's philosophy and way of working, the products descriptions reveal the main feature and characteristic of every project. This book will present the work of Ross Lovegrove, one of the most interesting and fascinating individuals working in contemporary design. His work includes a wide range of products from furniture to high-tech products, from water bottles to airplane seats and explores the possibility of realizing sculptural and organic shapes through modern technology and material. Born in 1958, Lovegrove studied industrial design at Manchester Polytechnic and at the Royal College of Art in London. At the beginning of the eighties he started working for the industrial design consultancy Frogdesign in Germany, where he was assigned to projects for Apple and Sony. After this experience he became an in-house designer for Knoll in Paris where he developed different office systems. He went back to England in 1986 where he established his own practice and started to collaborate with the most important design manufacturers such as Kartell, Luceplan and Cappellini. He is currently working on a number of projects in Japan where he enjoys unparalleled success as a European designer. In recent years Ross Lovegrove has worked on a design concept that he likes to define as organic essentialism, inspired by elements and aesthetics taken from the natural world and reshaped in futuristic forms. His interest in this sort of new naturalism, which he terms supernatural, is accompanied by research into new materials, new applications and new methods of production. This combination of archetypal inspiration and up to date technology makes him one of the most interesting and unusual figures in the design world.

American Art and Architecture
An accessible, concise, and beautifully written survey of American art and architecture from 1600 to the present.This new survey provides a complete history of American art and architecture from its seventeenth-century colonial beginnings to the latest installation and video work. Structured chronologically, the book defines the characteristics of the different periods and highlights the consistent forms, techniques, and styles that mark the art and architecture as distinctively American. Michael J. Lewis charts the ways in which American artists and architects both adopted and diverged from earlier European models to create an original visual language of their own. He also shows how that language in turn came to influence and eventually dominate art and architecture around the world.Professor Lewis integrates discussions of both buildings and works of visual art, revealing the shared social and aesthetic concerns that underlie the two. Vernacular, religious, secular, and corporate architecture appears alongside paintings, sculpture, photography, and new-media art. All the major American artists and works from the seventeenth century to today are included, such as epic history paintings by Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley, sublime landscapes by Thomas Cole, Albert Bierstadt, and Frederick Church, society portraits by John Singer Sargent, groundbreaking abstract expressionist and pop art by Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, and Andy Warhol, and challenging sculptural, installation, and video works from more recent years by Robert Gober, Fred Wilson, and Matthew Barney.In architecture, dozens of different building types are illustrated and discussed, from the earliest colonial houses and churches to the most spectacular modernist and postmodernist houses, stations, museums, and iconic skyscrapers. 275 illustrations, 175 in color

Eyes on the Street
The first major biography of the irrepressible woman who changed the way we view and live in cities, and whose influence is felt to this day.
Jane Jacobs was a phenomenal woman who wrote seven groundbreaking books, saved neighborhoods, stopped expressways, was arrested twice, and engaged in thousands of impassioned debates--all of which she won. Robert Kanigel's revelatory portrait of Jacobs, based on new sources and interviews, brings to life the child who challenged her third-grade teacher; the high school poet; the mother who raised three children; the journalist who honed her skills at Architectural Forum and Fortune before writing her most famous book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities; and the activist who helped lead a successful protest against Robert Moses's proposed expressway through her beloved Greenwich Village.
Lacná kniha Kinsey a já
Každá z devíti povídek, které knihu otevírají, je klenotem detektivní fikce. Za tři desetiletí, před nimiž se Kinsey zrodila, se toho odehrálo hodně, proto bychom mohli snadno zapomenout, že se hrdinka stala součástí převratné vlny ve vývoji detektivního románu, vlny, kde ženy přestaly být pouze oddanými parťačkami drsných detektivů a postavily se na vlastní nohy, začaly vyslovovat vlastní pronikavé postřehy a mít vlastní vyhraněné názory. A právě tato výmluvnost, ostrovtip a neuctivé poznámky byly důvodem, proč si již s první knihou – A… jako alibi – čtenáři Kinsey tak zamilovali. Dokazuje to, že byla od samého začátku silnou postavou. Třináct povídek z druhé části souboru napsala autorka během deseti let po matčině smrti. Vystupuje v nich postava Kit Blueové, což je jakési mladší alter ego samotné Sue. Jsou to temné příběhy s jasně patrným spodním proudem zármutku a tiché bolesti. Rodina Graftonové byla zdrcena, jak to ostatně v těchto situacích bývá, vyprávění však s moudrostí a citem popisuje cestu od prvotního vzteku přes smíření a odpuštění ke konečnému nalezení bezbřehé lásky. Emocionální náboj je velmi silný. Sue se v minulosti párkrát letmo zmínila o alkoholismu svých rodičů – problém podle všeho začal v době, kdy se její otec vrátil z války. Některé věci se o svých rodičích nikdy nedozvíme, a stejně tak ani Sue neví, co její rodiče vedlo k závislosti; ona však právě kvůli tomu vyrůstala v nebývalé volnosti. Mohla číst, co chtěla, chodit, kam se jí zlíbilo, plout na vlnách představ, jenže ruku v ruce s volností přišla citová rozháranost a nevyrovnanost. Sue si přísně hlídá své soukromí a dalo by se říci, že je uzavřená. Nynější odhodlání promluvit takto otevřeně svědčí o tom, že se s minulostí vyrovnala. Přesto píše: „Žijeme v době, kdy se každý každému se vším svěřuje. Já však nestojím o to, aby se na mě lidé dívali jako na autora, který si libuje ve svém pohnutém životním osudu a ještě se na něm obohacuje. S odstupem padesáti let stále pociťuji rozpaky a nechce se mi odhrnout závoj halící období, kdy jsem byla zmatená a nejistá. Kéž by se v životě daly provádět stejné redakční úpravy jako v próze. Bylo by fajn mít možnost vrátit se zpátky a přepsat svůj životní příběh do lepší podoby, zbavit ho slabých míst a opravit chyby, které ve světle pozdějších zkušeností tolik bijí do očí. Zjistila jsem však, že snaha zakrýt sám před sebou nepříjemné věci vlastního života vede k tomu, že člověk zakryje i ty dobré, které jsou v bahně na dně přece jen schované. Minulost je pevný celek a já nevěřím, že lze říct jen část pravdy, aniž by člověk odhalil takřka celou. Zkušenosti nejsou zadarmo a já za své zmoudření zaplatila po čertech vysokou cenu.“ A na tom se všichni, kdo se odvážili ohlédnout se za vlastní minulostí, jistě shodnou. Moudrá žena. Nápaditá autorka.

Lacná kniha Roztomilé malé lhářky 8 - Hledané
Říká se, že fotografie řekne víc než tisíc slov.Podívejme se společně na obrázek usměvavé rodiny, která se nechala zvěčnit na verandě viktoriánské vily. A teď si její členy prohlédněme pozorněji. Tatínek se zubí jakoby z donucení. Mamince ujíždí pohled k domu sousedů. Bratr vší silou třímá kovové zábradlí. Sestra se směje záhadně, jako by skrývala křehké tajemství. Zahrada je rozryta buldozerem a v pozadí vykukuje postava se světlými vlasy a bledou pletí. Je to kluk… nebo holka? Dost možná jen světelný přelud či prst fotografa. Ale co když všechny tyhle drobnosti, které vám na první pohled unikly, znamenají víc, než byste kdy hádali?Čtyři hezké dívky v Rosewoodu věří, že mají jasnou představu o skutečných událostech noci, kdy zmizela jejich kamarádka. Kdyby ovšem zalistovaly vzpomínkami ještě jednou, soustředily se na drobnosti a vybavily si prchlivé divné pocity, možná by se jim dosavadní obrázek změnil přímo před očima. Dost možná by holky ohromilo – dokonce vyděsilo –, nač by přišly.Pravda bývá horší než zdání. Hlavně tady v Rosewoodu.
