The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling
Tom Jones is a foundling discovered on the property of a very kind, wealthy landowner, Squire Allworthy, in Somerset in England's West Country. Tom grows into a vigorous and lusty, yet honest and kind-hearted, youth. He develops affection for his neighbour's daughter, Sophia Western. On one hand, their love reflects the romantic comedy genre that was popular in 18th-century Britain. However, Tom's status as a bastard causes Sophia's father and Allworthy to oppose their love; this criticism of class friction in society acted as a biting social commentary. The inclusion of prostitution and sexual promiscuity in the plot was also original for its time, and also acted as the foundation for criticism of the book's "lowness."

The V&A Sourcebook of Pattern and Ornament
The wealth of surface pattern and three-dimensional ornamentation in the many objects that enrich our lives is testament to the inventiveness of designers and craftspeople around the globe and throughout history.
This richly illustrated, easy-to-navigate sourcebook presents more than 1,000 historic and contemporary examples of pattern and ornamentation from around the world, each one succinctly identified and explained. Arranged thematically, it is unique among pattern books, as it includes examples not only of surface pattern but also of three-dimensional ornamentation and embellishment.
Two-dimensional pattern is ubiquitous, no matter what the age of an object or where it was created. From Japanese kimono and William Morris fabrics to Chinese porcelain and contemporary furniture, such works reveal humanity's unceasing desire to combine pattern with design. Just as prevalent are examples of three-dimensional embellishments that go far beyond the requirements of their practical use: an acrylic handbag has a carved motif of insects and wildflowers, a cobalt-blue pottery ewer has a dragon's-head spout and an early 19th-century fruit plate is shaped like a seashell.
Designers working today are as fascinated and inspired by pattern and ornament as they have always been. This expertly compiled selection will appeal to designers, artists, illustrators and other creatives from all disciplines as well as anyone interested in visual and material culture.

The Kiss Curse - Átkozott csókok
Éldekorált kiadás
Erin Sterling nagy sikerű könyve, az Ex Hex - Csiribú, szerelem! szereplői, Gwyn és a hátborzongatóan jóképű Wells Penhallow visszatérnek, hogy megküzdjenek a varázslókat érintő újabb kihívásokkal és a köztük fellángoló mágikus vonzalommal.
Gwyn Jones boldogan él a Észak-Georgia hegyei között megbúvó Sírvölgyben. Anyjával és unokatestvérével, Vivienne-nel nagyon jó csapatot alkotnak, a Boszorkánykonyha nevű boltja remekül megy, és a városka fiatal boszorkáit is sikeresen terelgeti. Elérkezik a halloween, és minden tökéletes, egy dolgot leszámítva: felbukkan Llewellyn 'Wells' Penhallow, Rhys Penhallow legidősebb bátyja.
Miután Rhys boltot nyit éppen szemben a Boszorkánykonyhával, rádöbben, hogy Gwyn személyében veszedelmes vetélytársa akadt.
A versengés hevében elcsattan egy váratlan, szenvedélyes csók, ezért úgy döntenek, inkább távol tartják magukat egymástól, mágikus vonzalom ide vagy oda. Ám a városkába hamarosan titokzatos boszorkánytársaság érkezik, és Gwyn varázsereje fogyatkozni kezd. Nem marad más választásuk: össze kell fogniuk Wellsszel, hogy kitalálják, mi a boszorkányok szándéka, és hogyan szerezhetik vissza a lány bűbájos képességeit, mielőtt túl késő lenne.
Mötley Crüe - Shout At The Devil: 40th Anniversary (Black/Ruby) LP
Mötley Crüe je americká heavymetalová skupina založená v Hollywoode v Kalifornii v roku 1981. Basgitarista Nikki Sixx a bubeník Tommy Lee sa najprv spojili s gitaristom/hlavným spevákom Gregom Leonom. Ale po nejakom čase Leona nahradil gitarista Mick Mars a hlavný spevák Michael White. Posledne menovaný bol čoskoro nahradený Vinceom Neilom a krátko na to bolo zvolené označenie Mötley Crüe. Skupina predala celosvetovo viac ako 100 miliónov albumov. Dosiahli tiež sedem platinových alebo multiplatinových certifikácií, deväť Top 10 albumov v rebríčku Billboard 200 (vrátane Dr. Feelgood z roku 1989, ktorý je jediným albumom Mötley Crüe, ktorý sa dostal na prvé miesto), dvadsaťdva hitov Top 40 mainstreamového rocku a šesť Top 20 popových singlov. Kapela zažila v priebehu rokov niekoľko zmien v zostave, pričom jediným stálym členom zostal Sixx; tieto zahŕňali predstavenie hlavného vokalistu Johna Corabiho (ktorý bol Neilovým náhradníkom v rokoch 1992 až 1996) a bubeníkov Randyho Castilla a Samanthy Maloneyovej, ktorí obaja nahradili Leeho po jeho odchode z Mötley Crüe v roku 1999; sa do kapely vrátil v roku 2004. V októbri 2022, po 41 rokoch služby, Mars oznámil svoj odchod z koncertovania s kapelou, pričom ho nahradil bývalý gitarista Marilyn Manson a Rob Zombie John 5.
Shout at the Devil je druhý štúdiový album, vydaný 23. septembra 1983 cez Elektra Records. Bol to prelomový album skupiny, vďaka ktorému sa Mötley Crüe stal jedným z najpredávanejších heavymetalových počinov 80. rokov. Single „Looks That Kill“ a „Too Young to Fall in Love“ boli pre kapelu miernymi hitmi.

A leading psychiatrist shows how the mysteries of the brain are illuminated at the extremes of human experience
A twinge of sadness, a rush of love, a knot of loss, a whiff of regret. Memories have the power to move us, often when we least expect it, a sign of the complex neural process that continues in the background of our everyday lives. A process that shapes us: filtering the world around us, informing our behaviour and feeding our imagination.
As a practising psychiatrist, Veronica O'Keane has spent many years observing how memory and experience are interwoven. In this rich, fascinating exploration, she asks, among other things, why can memories feel so real? How are our sensations and perceptions connected with them? Why is place so important in memory? Are there such things as 'true' and 'false' memories? And, above all, what happens when the process of memory is disrupted by mental illness? Here O' Keane uses the broken memories of psychosis to illuminate the integrated human brain, offering a new way of thinking about our own personal experiences.
Drawing on the poignant stories of her patients and much more, from literature and fairy tales, O'Keane uses the latest neuroscientific research to reframe our understanding of the extraordinary puzzle that is the human brain; from birth through to adolescence and old age. This book is a testament to the courage - and suffering - of those who live with serious mental illness, showing how their experiences unlock everything we know and feel.

Invention : A Life
Dyson has become a byword for high performing products, technology, design and invention. Now, James Dyson, the inventor and entrepreneur who made it all happen, tells his remarkable and inspirational story in Invention: A Life.
Famously, over a four-year period, James Dyson made 5127 prototypes of the cyclonic vacuum cleaner that would transform the way houses are cleaned around the world. In devoting all his resources to iteratively developing the technology, he risked it all, but out ofmany failures and setbacks came hard-fought success. His products - including vacuum cleaners, hair dryers and hair stylers, and fans and purifiers - are not only revolutionary technologies, but design classics. This was a legacy of his time studying at the Royal College of Art in the 1960s, when he was inspired by some of the most famous artists, designers and inventors of the era, as well as his engineering heroes such as Frank Whittle and Alec Issigonis.
In Invention: A Life, Dyson reveals how he came to set up his own company and led it to become one of the most inventive technology companies in the world. It is a compelling and dramatic tale, with many obstacles overcome. Dyson has always looked to the future, even setting up his own university to help provide the next generation of engineers and designers. For, as he says, 'everything changes all the time, so experience is of little use'.
Whether you are someone who has an idea for a better product, an aspiring entrepreneur, whether you appreciate great design or a page-turning read, Invention: A Life offers you inspiration, hope and much more.
