Wading in Waist-High Water
Since the release of their breakout debut in 2008, Fleet Foxes and their frontman, singer-songwriter Robin Pecknold, have enjoyed international critical and commercial acclaim.
Drawing comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel; Crosby, Stills & Nash; and the music of Brian Wilson, Grammy-nominated Fleet Foxes have reshaped the American indie-folk sound, crafting songs that are acoustically and melodically driven, steeped in gospel-like harmonies, and propelled by resonant and timeless lyrics. Wading in Waist-High Water: The Lyrics of Fleet Foxes contains Robin Pecknold's complete lyrics from 56 songs, capturing the poetic and inventive storytelling that is a hallmark of the band's music. These richly layered lyrics explore the complexity, darkness, and beauty of physical and emotional landscapes, both pastoral and modern.
Alongside the lyrics, Pecknold includes hand-written notes and candid observations on creative processes, inspirations, and motivations. With an introduction by celebrated author Brandon Taylor, Wading in Waist-High Water: The Lyrics of Fleet Foxes is a moving and intimate look at the art of songwriting, the joy of music-making, and what it means to produce meaningful and memorable sound.
Love's Work
An extraordinary, uncompromising and consoling celebration of a life - through childhood, faith, family, love, friendship, pain and loss - written as its author was facing her own mortality
Gillian Rose was a star academic, acclaimed as one of the most dazzling and original thinkers of her time. Told that she had incurable cancer, she found a new way to explore the world and herself. Tender, heartbreakingly honest and written with moments of surprising humour, Love's Work is the exhilarating result.
In this short, unforgettable memoir, Rose looks back on her childhood, from the young dyslexic girl, torn between father and stepfather, to the adolescent confronting her Jewish inheritance. As an adult, Gillian Rose proves herself a passionate friend, a searcher for truth, a woman in love and, finally, an exacting but generous patient.
Intertwining the personal and the philosophical, Rose meditates on faith, conflict and injustice; the fallibility and endurance of love; our yearning for independence and for connection to others. With droll self-knowledge ('I am highly qualified in unhappy love affairs,' Rose writes) and with unsettling wisdom ('To live, to love, is to be failed'), Love's Work asks the unanswerable question: how is a life best lived?
Every Man for Himself and God against All
The long-awaited memoir by the legendary filmmaker and celebrated author. Told in Werner Herzog's inimitable voice, this is the story of his epic artistic career, as inventive and daring as anything he has done before.
Hauling a steamship over a mountain in the jungle; walking from Munich to Paris in the dead of winter; descending into an active volcano; living in the wilderness among grizzly bears - Werner Herzog has always been intrigued by extremes of human experience. Here, he illuminates the influences and ideas that have driven his creativity and shaped his unique worldview.
Herzog's life matches the drama of his famous films: the boy growing up in poverty in a small village in the Alps after the Second World War; the teenager travelling the world in search of adventure that almost cost him his life; the director trying to calm his leading actor Klaus Kinski in the Amazonian jungle. And along the way, Herzog tells of ordinary people with extraordinary stories: rural labourers, circus acrobats, child soldiers.
Every Man for Himself and God Against All is at once a personal record of one of the great self-invented lives of our time, and a masterpiece that will enthral fans old and new. In a hypnotic swirl of memory, Herzog untangles and relives his most important experiences and inspirations, telling his story for the first and only time.
Unprocessed
We all know that as a nation our mental health is in crisis. But what most don't know is that a critical ingredient in this debate, and a crucial part of the solution - what we eat - is being ignored.
Nutrition has more influence on what we feel, who we become and how we behave than we could ever have imagined. It affects everything from our decision-making to aggression and violence. Yet mental health disorders are overwhelmingly treated as 'mind' problems as if the physical brain - and how we feed it - is irrelevant. Someone suffering from depression is more likely to be asked about their relationship with their mother than their relationship with food.
In this eye-opening and impassioned book, psychologist Kimberley Wilson draws on startling new research - as well as her own work in prisons, schools and hospitals around the country - to reveal the role of food and nutrients in brain development and mental health: from how the food a woman eats during pregnancy influences the size of her baby's brain, and hunger makes you mean; to how nutrient deficiencies change your personality.
We must also recognise poor nutrition as a social injustice, with the poorest and most vulnerable being systematically ignored. We need to talk about what our food is doing to our brains. And we need decisive action, not over rehearsed soundbites and empty promises, from those in power - because if we don't, things can only get worse.

Riadenie portfólia komunálnych obligácií
Žiaduci rozvoj miest a obcí a zabezpečovanie potrieb obyvateľstva i regiónov naráža na obmedzené vlastné prostriedky i na obmedzené úverové zdroje. Mestá a obce vo vyspelých krajinách namiesto úveru čoraz viac využívajú iný spôsob získavania potrebných finančných prostriedkov, a to emisiou komunálnych obligácií a iných cenných papierov. K emitovaniu cenných papierov ako spôsobu financovania verejných investícií sa u nás vraciame po mnohých desaťročiach a bez veľkých skúseností. Dá sa však očakávať, že tento spôsob získavania prostriedkov bude stále častejší. V publikácii sa podrobne a do hĺbky rozoberá systém, spôsoby a podmienky emisie cenných papierov na úrovni municipalít. Publikácia sa člení na štyri časti. V prvej z nich sa autori zaoberajú základnými druhmi a derivátmi komunálnych obligácií a popisujú ich charakteristické znaky. Druhá časť osobitne zaujme finančných manažérov v oblasti samosprávy, lebo obsahuje oceňovanie a kritériá výnosov z komunálnych obligácií a spôsoby merania ich potenciálnej cenovej volatility pri zmenách úrokových sadzieb. Tretia časť je venovaná analýze, ktorá je potrebná na zhodnotenie úverovej kvality komunálnych obligácií. Týka sa úverovej spoľahlivosti rôznych typov komunálnych obligácií pre investorov, spoločností zaoberajúcich sa úverovým ratingom týchto obligácií, nových prvkov oceňovania potenciálneho úverového rizika. Upozorňuje na všetky otázky, ktoré musia byť zodpovedané pri každom úvere a zárukách ešte pred analýzou rizík. Vo štvrtej časti sa autori sústreďujú na riadenie portfólia komunálnych obligácií, rôzne investičné stratégie a metódu celkovej výnosovosti pri oceňovaní potenciálnych výsledkov jednotlivých stratégií. V prílohe publikácie nájde zasvätený čitateľ charakteristiku určitých odlišností komunálnych obligácií, v rámci ktorej autori obracajú jeho pozornosť na tie, čo sa vyznačujú špecifickými silnými a slabými stránkami. Publikácia orientuje samosprávne orgány na zvýšenie miery ekonomickej sebestačnosti, závisiacej len od ich vlastnej aktivity a umožňuje im získať zdroje príjmov, ktoré sú vopred plánovateľné pri zostavovaní rozpočtu.

The Interpreter
The most dangerous person in the courtroom isn't the killer...
Revelle is a court interpreter and knows the power of words. She spends her days translating for other people; murderers, fraudsters and their victims. She speaks their words. Only she knows exactly what they're saying.
When she spots an injustice is about to take place, and a guilty man about to be labelled innocent, she has the power to twist an alibi to get the verdict she wants. The verdict she believes is correct. She's willing to risk it all.
But someone knows what she's done.
And they want justice.
The Physics of Sorrow
In the small and the insignificant - that's where life hides, that's where it builds its nest.
Our unnamed narrator is not well. He suffers from attacks of 'pathological empathy', which cause him to wander unbidden into other people's memories. He moves from recollection to recollection - from a Bulgarian country fair in 1925, where he meets a Minotaur, to inside the mind of a slug, as it is swallowed by his own Grandfather.
Part family history, part coming-of-age story, part meditation on life in Communist Europe, The Physics of Sorrow is a dazzlingly inventive, mind-expanding novel from one of Europe's most important writers.

Plot
The stunningly original exploration of pregnancy and childbirth by the acclaimed author of Citizen
In this, the landmark achievement that crowned the first phase of her writing career, Claudia Rankine invites us into the lives of Liv and her husband Erland, as they find themselves propelled into the classic plot: boy loves girl, girl gets pregnant.

A profoundly daring collection, it explodes the emotive capabilities of language and form to achieve an unparalleled understanding of creation and existence

Edvard Munch: A Poem of Life, Love and Death
An authoritative new publication that revisits Edvard Munch’s work in its entirety.
Edvard Munch occupies a pivotal place in artistic modernity. His work is permeated by a singular vision of the world, with a powerful symbolist dimension that goes beyond the masterpieces he created in the 1890s. For Munch, humanity and nature were united in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, which is reflected in the recurrence of certain motifs and color combinations in his work. He wrote: “These paintings, which are, admittedly, relatively difficult to understand, will be...easier to grasp if they are integrated into a whole.”
Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay, Edvard Munch: A Poem of Life, Love and Death presents about a hundred works?paintings, drawings, prints, and engraved blocks?reflecting the diversity of Munch’s practice. Seven essays explore the artist in his philosophical and scientific milieu and the places that shaped the man and his art, as well as offering a rare glimpse of Munch’s attempts at creative writing. They also examine the historical evolution of his monumental Frieze of Life series and the world-famous Scream. This publication invites readers to revisit the painter’s work in its entirety by following the thread of an ever-inventive pictorial thinking: a vision that is both fundamentally coherent, even obsessive, and at the same time constantly renewed.
180 color illustrations
Banksy
The largest presentation of works by Banksy, the world’s most enigmatic yet highly sought-after artist, including iconic works, installation objects, ephemera, and memorabilia all in one volume.
Banksy is the world’s most discussed artist of recent decades, and this seminal collection features hundreds of works including Girl with Balloon, Pulp Fiction, Love Is in the Air, Barcode, and Monkey Queen. It also includes scores of paintings, serigraphs, stencils, and installation objects as well as a selection of memorabilia—many of which have never been published previously. Created with the cooperation of Pest Control, the group that manages all things Banksy, this is as official and authorized as any Banksy publication could be.
Banksy is the world’s greatest practitioner of street art. His work has always been political, involving pointed critiques of inequality, injustice, consumerism, and the establishment, yet no one knows his identity. He is an exemplary case of fame and notoriety built upon absence and anonymity. His relationship with the art market is also complex: marked by mocking hostility while being one of the most marketable and most collected contemporary artists.
