Contraband Cocktails : From Prohibition to Mixology in 48 Recipes
Americans weren t supposed to drink at all during Prohibition, but that s not how things worked out: just as Congress amended the Constitution to make their countrymen dry (while a bootlegger known as The Man in the Green Hat helped keep wet bars well-stocked on Capitol Hill), cocktail culture as we know it was born. The Bloody Mary, sleek chrome cocktail shakers, hip flasks and streamlined bar carts, craft mixology, and hundreds of other essentials of modern drinking life owe their origins to the dark days and boozy nights of the Dry Years. Rich with history, political intrigue, and cultural curiosities, in "Contraband Cocktails "Paul Dickson pours us an intoxicating narrative of how Americans drank during Prohibition. But "Contraband Cocktails" isn t just a wild ride with bootleggers and bartenders, rumrunners and mobsters, it also brims with literary lore: from when the word cocktail first appeared in print in D. H. Lawrence s "Lady Chatterly s Lover," to Daisy pouring Tom a mint julep at the Plaza Hotel in "The Great Gatsby," to recipes (some of them shockingly, comically undrinkable!) for what Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, Tennessee Williams, and many others were drinking when they ordered just the usual, this small, heavily annotated mixology brings readers out of our 21st century take on the speakeasy and straight into a chair at the Algonquin Roundtable. We also visit the dimly lit nightclubs that displaced legal cabarets and gave a backdrop to the Jazz Age, a hedge outside the White House where bootleggers stashed bottles of booze in a burlap bag, and even the bathtub where the great chef and food writer James Beard spent Sunday afternoons concocting homemade gin. Chock-full of scandalous history, delicious anecdotes, dozens of recipes, and a glossary of terms that could surprise even the most seasoned bartender, Paul Dickson s "Contraband Cocktails "is the perfect companion to any reader s Cocktail Hour."

Surfing is a way of life. A life dominated by the waves and the tide with a cozy place to pause in between. Creative personalities crafting bold homes, Surf Shacks illustrates how surfers live both on and off shore.

Surfing communities are overflowing with creativity, innovation, and rich personalities. Surf Shacks takes a deeper look at surfers' homes and artistic habits. Glimpses of record collections, strolls through backyard gardens, or a peek into a painter's studio provide insight into surfers' lives both on and off shore. Through anecdotes and photographs, illustrations and conversations, Surf Shacks reveals a more personal side to surfing and its eclectic cast of characters.

To Kill a Mockingbird - audiokniha
'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.' A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the thirties. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition. Out now as an unabridged audiobook, narrated by Sissy Spacek.show less

Az ezerarcú én
"És ki vagy te? kérdezte ő. - Ne hozz zavarba, mondtam én."
Hankiss Elemér életműsorozatának negyedik kötetéről szinte mindent elmond a könyv mottójául választott idézet. Azt, hogy valóban milyen nehéz pontos és kielégítő választ adni a fenti kérdésre, jól mutatja, hogy a kötetben az "én"-ek sokaságával találkozunk: a magánszféra és a közszféra énjével, a munkahelyi és az otthoni énnel, a különböző történelmi korok énjével stb. Hankiss Elemér külön elemzéseket szentel a jelenlegi életkeretünket adó fogyasztói társadalom és az "én" kölcsönhatásainak, szemléletes és olykor kifejezetten szórakoztató példák során keresztül mutatja be azt a küzdelmet, amelyet énünk megalkotása, megtartása és kiteljesítése érdekében folytatunk nap mint nap. Mint a könyvből kiderül, ebben a küzdelemben nagy szerepet kapnak a Gonoszt legyőző mosógépek és a templomok szerepét átvevő bevásárlóközpontok éppúgy, mint a többfunkciós csodafegyverként szolgáló parfümök és az időtlenségben való feloldódást ígérő kocsmák. Ebből is látszik, hogy az életünk - és az énünk - sokkal izgalmasabb és bonyolultabb, mint gondolnánk.

Modern Art 1870-2000 - Impressionism to Today
Modern matters: A blow-by-blow account of groundbreaking modernismMost art historians agree that the modern art adventure first developed in the 1860s in Paris. A circle of painters, whom we now know as Impressionists, began painting pictures with rapid, loose brushwork. They turned to everyday street life for subjects, instead of overblown heroic scenes, and they escaped the power of the Salon by organizing their own independent exhibitions.After this first assault on the artistic establishment, there was no holding back. In a constant desire to challenge, innovate, and inspire, one modernist style supplanted the next: Symbolism, Expressionism, Futurism, Dada, Abstract Art, renewed Realism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop, Minimal and conceptual practice.This indispensable overview traces the restless energy of modern art with a year-by-year succession of the groundbreaking artworks that shook standards, and broke down barriers. Introductory essays outline the most significant and influential movements alongside explanatory texts for each major work and its artist.About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing.

Pug`s Guide to Etiquette
This manual is an essential item for any pug aspiring to be a sophisticated, civilized citizen. Pugs play by their own set of rules. When you want them to sit, they stand; when you want them to stay, they go; and when you want them to stop eating that unidentified item on the floor, well...Traditional schools of canine thought put this behaviour down to a stubborn refusal to be trained that's inherent in the bred. Not so. This behaviour is, in fact, down to an ancient set of rules, passed down from pug generation to pug generation. A Pug's Guide to Etiquette attempts to explain these rules, thereby advancing pug-human relations to hitherto unprecedented heights.

'We were fractious and overpaid. Our mornings lacked promise. At least those of us who smoked had something to look forward to at ten-fifteen'
They spend their days - and too many of their nights - at work. Away from friends and family, they share a stretch of stained carpet with a group of strangers they call colleagues. There's Chris Yop, clinging to his ergonomic chair; Lynn Mason, the boss, whose breast cancer everyone pretends not to talk about; Carl Garbedian, secretly taking someone else's medication; Marcia Dwyer, whose hair is stuck in the eighties; and Benny, who's just - well, just Benny. Amidst the boredom, redundancies, water cooler moments, meetings, flirtations and pure rage, life is happening, to their great surprise, all around them.
