From Fingers to Digits: An Artificial Aesthetic
Essays on computer art and its relation to more traditional art, by a pioneering practitioner and a philosopher of artificial intelligence.
In From Fingers to Digits, a practicing artist and a philosopher examine computer art and how it has been both accepted and rejected by the mainstream art world. In a series of essays, Margaret Boden, a philosopher and expert in artificial intelligence, and Ernest Edmonds, a pioneering and internationally recognized computer artist, grapple with key questions about the aesthetics of computer art. Other modern technologies--photography and film--have been accepted by critics as ways of doing art. Does the use of computers compromise computer art's aesthetic credentials in ways that the use of cameras does not? Is writing a computer program equivalent to painting with a brush?
Essays by Boden identify types of computer art, describe the study of creativity in AI, and explore links between computer art and traditional views in philosophical aesthetics. Essays by Edmonds offer a practitioner's perspective, considering, among other things, how the experience of creating computer art compares to that of traditional art making. Finally, the book presents interviews in which contemporary computer artists offer a wide range of comments on the issues raised in Boden's and Edmonds's essays.

11 Life Lessons from Nelson Mandela
Every life has the power to change the world.
Ndaba Mandela was raised by his grandfather, Nelson Mandela. It is easy to forget that legendary figures like Mandela were first and foremost human beings, flawed and unique, but in Ndaba's account we have a rare and personal insight into the man behind the myth.
In 11 Life Lessons, Ndaba shares with us his memories - charming, intimate and sometimes surprising - to illuminate Mandela's much-loved principles for how to become the people we want to be.
Always call out injustice - even when we see it in ourselves
Freedom must be given as much as it is taken
Strive to do what is right rather than to prove you are right
Anger has its place, even in a kind heart
Inspired by Mandela's remarkable stories, 11 Life Lessons from Nelson Mandela offers a profound and rewarding pathway to changing your world.

Pohádky bratří Grimmů - Fairy Tales by The Brothers Grimm
Učte se angličtimu čtením pohádek! Bratři Jacob (1785 – 1863) a Wilhelm (1786 – 1859) Grimmové byli němečtí lingvisté, literární badatelé a sběratelé lidových vyprávění a pohádek. Těch shromáždili na dvě stě, a přestože se mnohdy jedná o příběhy kruté a morbidní, vyrostly na nich děti v mnoha zemích světa včetně českých čtenářů. Kdo by neznal Popelku, Jeníčka a Mařenku, Sněhurku, Šípkovou Růženku nebo Červenou karkulku. Hodně příběhů si bratři Grimmové nechali vyprávět od své známé, paní Hassenpflugové, která měla francouzské kořeny a využívala jako zdroj francouzského pohádkáře Charlese Perraulta (1628 – 1703). Mnohé pohádky se dočkaly i filmových zpracování, ať už ve studiu Walta Disneyho či jinde. Vy máte před sebou anglické verze pohádek bratří Grimmů, jak je v 19. století přeložili britští spisovatelé Lucy Craneová, Edgar Taylor a Marian Edwardesová. Můžete si jejich čtením procvičit porozumění anglickému textu. K tomu vám pomůže zrcadlový český překlad. V knize kromě známých i méně známých pohádek naleznete přehled základní anglické gramatiky a komentáře k vybraným jazykovým jevům.

One Step Too Far
Emily Coleman is a successful lawyer with an apparently happy marriage, a beautiful two-year-old son and a lovely home. So what makes her get up one sweltering summer morning and walk right out of her life? She takes just a few clothes, her passport and some money and catches the next London train from Manchester. She's deadly serious about not being found - changing her name to Cat Brown, taking a room in a squalid shared house, and starting her career all over again as a receptionist in an ad agency. But it seems that no matter how hard Cat tries, she cannot shake off her past. Then she meets Angel, a sassy young woman with her own set of issues, who swiftly becomes Cat’s closest ally, as well as leading her into a new life full of danger and recklessness. But Cat never tells even Angel why she left or what secrets she's harbouring. Did she have a breakdown? Perhaps she was trying to escape her dysfunctional family, especially her twin Caroline, with whom she’s always had a difficult relationship? As a mystery date looms, Cat's life takes another dramatic wrong turn, and finally she's forced her to confront her past and finally reveal her secret.

The Tree and the River
A spectacular time-lapse portrait of humankind - and our impact on the natural world - from a Caldecott Honor-winning master of the wordless form. For his latest feat of visual storytelling, the acclaimed creator of the Journey trilogy invents, in staggering detail, a familiar world layered with imaginary civilizations. Borrowing from multiple cultures and architectural styles to craft astonishing new humanscapes, Aaron Becker tracks the evolution of our species - and its toll on the Earth - through the fates of a lone tree and an enduring river.
River and tree bear silent witness over time as people arrive to harness water, wind, and animals; devise technology and transportation; redirect rivers; and reshape the land. Timely and ultimately hopeful, this wordless epic invites readers to pore over spreads densely packed with visual drama. Fans of Journey, Quest, and Return will leap at a new chance to uncover sophisticated layers of meaning, marvel at intricate details - from holographic billboards to flying machines - and see our precious shared world through fresh eyes.
