W Magazine: 50 Years/50 Stories
The definitive collection of W’s most iconic and boundary-pushing photographic stories, published over the magazine’s fifty-year history.
Since its founding in 1972, W has worked with the world’s best photographers and writers, celebrating their most ambitious and creative work. The stories in this book offer a knowing, insider’s peek into the top echelons of the world of style over the past 50 years.
Historic and boundary-breaking stories include “One for the Ages,” by Steven Klein, in which the model Amber Valletta is seen aging over the course of a century; hallucinatory photographs by Tim Walker of Tilda Swinton bringing to life eccentric historical characters; an art project by the artist Richard Prince, in which he both comments on and appropriates celebrity imagery; exclusive shoots of pop culture icons like Dolly Parton; playful series of fabulous faux advertising campaigns shattering the sacrosanct lines between advertising and editorial by Steven Meisel; daring covers that perfectly capture the era of the supermodel including Naomi, Kate, Cindy, Linda, Christy, and Gisele; revealing portraits of the most original and creative personalities that includes fashion designers, film directors, artists, interior designers, and musicians; and 1970s party coverage in the early, halcyon days of W.
This book will appeal to those with a great appreciation for art, fashion, design, interiors, music, and culture.

An economic history of Hungary from 1867
For the last century and a half, Central and Eastern Europe has undergone substantial changes both economically and politically. This book gives a comparative overview of the economic characteristics of Hungary by applying a holistic approach, considering the factors that determined the fate of this Central European country. Tables, graphs, and maps illustrate the decisions that influenced the economic processes from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to 2019. Within the pages of this monograph, the question of how the prevailing governments adjusted to the continuously changing internal and external conditions is answered.
“The monograph, written by Endre Domonkos, can be considered an important summary of Hungary’s 150-year economic history. The book will be useful for historians, economists, university students of economics, or readers interested in the economic history of Central and Eastern Europe. It offers important information and avoids taking a conventional approach to the theme. Moreover, it is an essential resource for research fellows both in Hungary and abroad, to understand the semi-peripheral development of the area.”Prof. István Szilágyi, Doctor of HAS
“Endre Domonkos, in his current work, summarises the economic history of Hungary in 10 chapters and more than 200 pages, richly illustrated with tables, maps, and graphs. The work takes a modern approach, applying the scientifi c note apparatus. The quantity and quality of the literature are also excellent and support the formal and qualitative value of the work. The author has done very serious exploratory research and synthesising work.” Prof. Dr. Ferenc Tibor Szávai, DSc.

Umělec nesmí nikdy ztratit odvahu / An Artist Must Never Lose Courage
Publikace odhaluje podrobnosti vztahů Bohuslava Martinů s jeho žákem a skladatelem Janem Novákem v letech 1947–1959 na pozadí dochované korespondence. Kniha přináší edici souboru dopisů Martinů Novákovi a dále korespondenci Jana Nováka o Martinů a naopak. Interpretace nově získaných pramenů odkrývá bohatou síť souvisejících faktů, událostí a kontaktů, které rekonstruují rámec dobové hudební kultury. Vymezují také roli Jana Nováka a jeho manželky Elišky v propagaci díla Martinů v 50. letech u nás v době, kdy čelil politicky angažované kritice. Monografie se též snaží poukázat na paralely v životě a tvorbě obou skladatelů, ať se jedná o emigraci, evropanství, humanismus nebo vztah k lidové hudbě a divadlu. Kniha, která vychází ke 100. výročí narození Jana Nováka, se snaží přispět k hlubšímu pochopení a docenění díla tohoto významného skladatele, který byl z důvodu emigrace odsouzen k povinné kolektivní amnézii.

Diary of an Apprentice Astronaut
In space the sun rises and sets 16 times a day. You fly over every sea, every mountain and desert, every city and every port. The most ordinary things -- eating, sleeping, brushing your teeth or cutting your hair -- have to be relearned, until they become familiar again. This is the story of Samantha Cristoforetti's incredible journey to becoming an astronaut, and her journey beyond Earth.
Her voyage as an apprentice astronaut began when she was in her early thirties: five years of intense training around the world, from Houston to Japan to the legendary Star City in Russia. Countless hours spent in centrifuges, spaceship simulators and under water for spacewalk practice. Then, one day, a rocket was waiting for her on the launch pad. And after eight minutes of wild ascent, she was on orbit, crunched up with her two crewmates in a tiny spaceship that took them to the International Space Station.
With honesty and warmth, Cristoforetti chronicles the two hundred days she spent on the ISS, the joys and challenges of being in an extraordinary place, from the sublime sight of seeing Earth for the first time to more unusual concerns, such as mastering the art of floating. How do you find your bearings when there is no up and down? What is it like to run in weightlessness? And how do you cook in space?
This is an enthralling, inspiring and surprisingly down-to-earth story about what it really takes to pursue your dreams.

How To Be an Antiracist
In How To Be An Antiracist Ibram X. Kendi, one of the world's most influential scholars on racism, demolishes the idea of a post-racial society, punctures the myths and taboos that cloud our understanding of racism and presents a radically new approach to tackling it.
He shows how everyone is, at times, complicit in maintaining the structure of racism though we rarely realise it, and gives us the tools to identify and change those behaviours.
Uncompromising but essential, How To Be An Antiracist sparked a new conversation about being an antiracist around the world, showing that until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem.
