Questions Children Ask and How to Answer Them
Where did I come from? What happens when you die? What's divorce? From the moment children can formulate questions they begin to bombard their parents with "Why?" "What?" "Where" and "How?" Naturally curious they often catch us off guard leaving us unsure of how to answer their questions with an appropriate response. Fully revised and updated for the digital age, this new edition of Dr Miriam Stoppard's essential parenting manual provides age-appropriate answers to a huge range of challenging questions. Drawing from extensive research in child development and specifically on what children can handle at each age, Stoppard offers parents a foundation on which they can build their own answers as their child's understanding expands.

Use and Abuse of History has become a key text of current historiography, this is a book that poses fundamental and disturbing questions about the use and abuse of history.

Mess: The Mannual of Accidents and Mistakes
In "Mess: The Manual of Accidents and Mistakes", Keri Smith, creator of "Wreck This Journal", asks readers to explore what it feels like to throw themselves off balance - on purpose. Your whole life you've been taught to avoid making a mess: try to keep everything under control, colour inside the lines, make it perfect, and at all costs, avoid contact with things that stain. Keri Smith's "Mess" asks you to do the opposite of what you have been taught. Think of it as your own personal rumpus room. A place to lest loose, to trash, to spew, to do the things you are not allowed to do in the real world. Smith dares readers to drop some kind of coloured liquid (ink, tea, coffee) onto a page from a good height (at least five feet); draw in the dark (or with eyes closed); creatively misspell words; paint a picture in a water-based medium (pen, marker, watercolour, etc) and leave it out during a rain or snowstorm; and bury this book, then dig it up. Bestselling author Keri Smith is a freelance illustrator by trade, and has illustrated for the "Washington Post", "The New York Times", "Ford Motor Company", "People", "The Body Shop" and "Hallmark". She is the author of "Wreck This Journal", "How to be an Explorer of the World" and "Mess: The Manual of Accidents and Mistakes". She lives in Canada.

Pokojní v nepokoji / Light in darkness
Fotograf Timotej Križka zachytil príbehy politických väzňov zo Slovenska. Do knihy vybral svedectvá tých, ktorých pobyt vo väzení nezlomil a napriek neprávosti, ktorá bola na nich spáchaná, si zachovali vnútornú slobodu a pokoj. Ako hovorí jeden zo svedkov: Každý z nás má mať určitý životný názor a za ním stáť za každej situácie. Nie meniť svoje názory vzhľadom k tomu, aby po ekonomickej alebo spoločenskej stránke získal niečo navrch. Tak bude šťastný a spokojný.

Človek môže byť fyzicky obmedzený, ale o slobodu ducha, o to nemôže obrať človeka ani väzenie. / A man can be limited physically, but not even prison can rob a man of the freedom of the spirit.
Nehanbím sa sám pred sebou. Keby som videl, aj zrkadlo by mi ukázalo, kto som. / I am not ashamed when I look at myself. If I could see, even the mirror would show me who I am.
Vyšiel som von ako slepý. Nepoznal som peniaze, nič. Bol som samý vred. Boli veľké ako slepačie vajce. Celý čas som žil pod tlakom nevedomosti. Prišiel som domov a keď ma uvidela manželka, myslela si, že má halucinácie. Deti vyrástli, jedna dcérka mala dvanásť, druhá desať rokov. / When I got out I was like a blind man. I didnt know the currency, nothing. I was covered in ulcers. Ulcers as big as chicken eggs. This whole time I lived under the pressure of ignorance. I came home and when my wife saw me, she thought she was hallucinating. My children grew up, one of my daughters was twelve, the other ten.
Tam som mal čas na premýšľanie. Modlil som sa za svojich nepriateľov, nikdy som nepochyboval o tom, že dobro zvíťazí. Naivita? Doteraz som na to nenašiel odpoveď. / In there I had time to think. I prayed for my enemies, I never doubted that good would triumph over evil. Naiveté? I dont have an answer yet.

Előző életek
Édesapám egy hónapja hunyt el. Nagyon jó kapcsolatban volt a kisfiammal. Nem mondtuk el neki, hogy mi történt a Papóval, hisz még csak 5 éves, nem foghatja fel. Kb. 2 hét múlva magától mondta, hogy Papó a felhőben van, alszik. Mikor játszik a játékokkal a szobában, amikkel együtt játszottak, csak ennyit hallunk tőle; gyere Papó, játsszunk!...
4 éves volt a fiam, mikor a nagymamám temetése után megkérdezte, hogy láttuk-e azt a bácsit, aki ott volt a kapuban. Kérdeztem, hogy a temető kapujában, ahol mi is bementünk? Azt mondta hogy "nem, abban a másikban, ahol a bácsi egyedül állt és a dédit várta"...
A nagyobbik "kisfiam" 3 éves volt, amikor a második fiamat már a szívem alatt hordtam. Próbáltam neki elmagyarázni, hogy hogyan is van ez a várandósság. Erre ő: "Anya, amikor te még nem voltál a Mama hasában, akkor én egy néni voltam."...
Édesapám mai napig felemlegeti néha a történetet, mikor pár évesen bevitt egy üzletbe, ahol addig még sosem jártunk. Én megkérdeztem, hogy hol vannak a papagájok. Édesapám visszakérdezett, hogy mégis miről beszélek? Majd az eladó felvilágosította, hogy régen egy állatkereskedés üzemelt ott, és a hátsó helyiségben nagyon sok papagáj lakott...
Az én fiam 3 évesen az utolsó festményig és dísztárgyig el tudta mesélni a dédnagyanyám házát úgy, hogy sosem járt ott. A mama még a születése előtt meghalt, és addigra már a házát is eladtuk, egyébként képünk sincs a házáról...
Édesanyám mesélte nekem 18 éves korom körül: egyszer 5 éves koromban a konyhából egy szemközti fát néztem, ahogy ingadozott a szélben. Édesanyám főzött. Aztán egyszer csak eljöttem az ablaktól és közöltem vele, hogy: "Tudod Anyu, én már voltam egyszer ezen a világon, de nem hagytak megnőni... de most megnövök"..."

Astrology, Magic, and Alchemy in Art
From antiquity to the Enlightenment, astrology, magic, and alchemy have always been considered important tools in unravelling the mysteries of nature and human destiny. As a result of the West's exposure to the astrological beliefs of Arab philosophers and the mystical writings of late antiquity, these occult traditions became rich sources of inspiration for Western artists.This latest volume in the "Guide to Imagery" series, presents an intelligent analysis of occult iconography in many of the great masterpieces of Western art - from the astrological symbols that decorated churches and illuminated manuscripts, through the work of a wide range of Renaissance artists, including Bosch, Brueghel, Durer and Caravaggio, to the visionary works of nineteenth-century artists, such as Fuseli and Blake, as well as in the creative output of the Surrealists during the twentieth century.

Én, Kossuth Lajos
Korán megtanultam olvasni, lehettem tán öt-hat éves. Fő oka burjánzó kíváncsiságom volt: mindent tudjak, amit a felnőttek. Mindent el is olvastam, ami a kezembe került, illetve amit könyvkötő nagyapám hazahozott műhelyéből. Jobbára tíz-, húsz-, ötvenfilléres ponyvákat, jobb esetben pengős regényeket.
(Jobbára, mondom, mert köztük ott voltak P. Howard, azaz Rejtő Jenő könyvei is). Így került kezembe egy színes képekkel teli, emlékezetem szerint díszes kiadvány az 1848-as szabadságharcról. Nem volt túlságosan vastag a könyv, mihelyt végeztem vele, kezdtem elölről.
Óriási hatással volt rám, ahogyan a nép felkelt, ahogyan hadserege sorra nyerte a csatákat a túlerővel szemben, ahogyan a magyar forradalom segítségére sietett sok külföldi kiváló tábornok, és folytathatnám... Természetesen Petőfi, Kossuth, Bem "apó", Damjanich, Batthyány, Görgey - mind rajongott hősöm lett, akár Winnetou vagy Old Shatterhand. Ráadásul magyarok, a mieink! Ám a harc szomorú végét röviden, vagy tán sehogyan sem intézte el a könyv. Ezt akkor persze észre sem vettem.
Azután ahogy cseperedtem, iskolai tankönyveim valamivel talán árnyaltabban, de sohasem kudarcokkal, széthúzással is terhes, reménytelen valóságában tárták fel annak a valóban nagyszerű, heroikus kísérletnek a történetét. Egy pillanatig sem állítom, hogy ne született volna a hazai irodalomban az akkori küzdelmeket tárgyilagosan, akár tudományos alapossággal is elemző mű. Ha megerőltetem engem lassan cserbenhagyó memóriámat, még említhetnék is ilyet.
Ám olyan izgalmas, eddig ismeretlen részletekbe is beavató leírást, mint amilyennel most az Önök kezében tartott könyv szolgál, soha nem olvastam. Kossuth Lajos önéletrajza mintha egy rejtekajtót tárt volna fel számomra. Mennyi mindent értek már. Milyen egyszerű felismerni, mi miért történt úgy, ahogy történt. Kossuth néhol kegyetlenül önkritikus vallomásából, elbeszéléséből, annyira világosak - számomra legalábbis - addig homályos részletek. A nagy ember életrajza mögött éles kontúrral rajzolódik ki a magyar szabadságharc sok-sok csodája és hibája.
Izgalmas, hiteles, önkritikus, tárgyilagos, mélyen elemző ÖN-életrajz - írom fentebb. Amit nem Kossuth Lajos írt, nem is tollba mondta, hanem egy kitűnő magyar író, Cseres Tibor műve. Műfajilag fikció, tartalmilag dokumentum. Remek!
