Tři cesty za architekturou
Kam nás osobitý architekt a spisovatel David Vávra svými kresbami v knize zavede? Podnikneme s ním cestu za základy naší kultury – do Řecka, cestu do země zaslíbené – do Izraele a nakonec cestu za zázrakem nové civilizace Latinské Ameriky. Originální kresby vznikly nejen během autorových soukromých výletů, ale především během natáčení televizního seriálu Šumné stopy. Nejedná se však pouze o obrazovou knihu. Každá kresba je doprovázena stručnými a hutnými popisky a některé kresby jsou doplněny drobným veršem, v němž je koncentrována celá podstata architektonického historického zastavení.
Od knoflíkové dírky k rozluštění záhady NAZCA
Moderní archeologie oddělila jednotlivé obory výzkumu tak, aby v nich vyškolení specialisté s pomocí nejmodernější technologie dosahovali co nejpřesvědčivějších výsledků, ale pokulhává ve schopnosti celkového vyhodnocení nálezů mezi jednotlivými obory. Autor se pokouší tento prostor vyplnit.
V knize vysvětluje smysl pravěkých jeskynních maleb, nálezů sošek a pravěkých zbraní. Čtenáře podrobně seznámí se záhadnými obrazci na planině Nazca a přizve je ke společnému rozluštění této záhady. Jeho převratné hypotézy jsou jednoduché a přesvědčivé.

Velcí ekonomové jsou mou inspirací
IVK nabízí knihu Václava Klause "Velcí ekonomové jsou mou inspirací" (2015), která shrnuje autorovy texty o slavných ekonomech minulosti a současnosti. Tyto texty jsou roztroušeny po různých časopisech a knihách (či pouze internetových serverech), leckdy v různých jazycích. Pro náhodného čtenáře mohou vypadat jako zcela izolované nebo dokonce nahodilé. To je i není pravda. Vznikaly v průběhu delšího období, v podstatě nesystematicky, bez jakéhokoli předem zformulovaného plánu, ale vnitřní myšlenkovou jednotu, která je vzájemně spojuje, mají. Vystihují Klausovo pojetí ekonomie, které je v nich zřetelně i srozumitelně vyjádřeno.

Warhol
Commerce into art. This title deals with a critical observer of American society. Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is recognized today as the most important exponent of the Pop Art movement. He overturned the traditional understanding of art and placed in its stead a concept that retracts the individuality of the artist. Warhol was a critical observer of American society, exposing his compatriots' consumerism in his paintings ("Campbell and Brillo" series), as well as their fascination for sensational journalism. In 1963 Warhol founded his Factory in New York, literally a manufactory of ideas and work, which influenced film in the 1960s, published the influential magazine "Interview" in the late 1970s, and also produced Warhol's own artwork: Warhol conceived the idea, and a worker in his factory carried it out. The work remained (consciously) unsigned - a fact which nevertheless did nothing to diminish Warhol's reputation. He once complained that rich New Yorkers would willingly hang his Electric Chain in their living rooms - as long as its colours co-ordinated with the wallpaper and draperies. About the series: Every book in TASCHEN's "Basic Art Series" features: a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work, covering the cultural and historical importance of the artist; approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions; and, a concise biography.
Česká činohra 19. a začátku 20. století
Kniha je třetím svazkem rozsáhlé encyklopedie Česká divadelní encyklopedie, zpracovávané na půdě Kabinetu pro studium českého divadla. Devatenácté století, jemuž se svazek věnuje, je pro novodobé české divadlo zcela zásadní, a přesto takto široce pojatá publikace encyklopedického charakteru dosud chyběla. Struktura knihy je stejná jako v předešlých svazcích, tematicky se však plně soustřeďuje na divadlo českojazyčné. Více než půl tisíce hesel zahrnuje dramatiky, herce, režiséry, jevištní výtvarníky, ředitele divadel ad. Každé heslo podává na základě zevrubného výzkumu informace o životě, činnosti a díle příslušné osobnosti a je vybaveno podrobnou bibliografií. Text doprovází množství fotografií a reprodukcí.

Wright
Widely thought to be the greatest American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was a true pioneer, both artistically and technically. At a time when reinforced concrete and steel were considered industrial building materials, Wright boldly made use of them to build private homes. His prairie house concept - that of a low, sprawling home based upon a simple L or T figure - was the driving force behind some of his most famous houses and became a model for rural architecture across America. Wright's designs for office and public buildings were equally groundbreaking and unique. From Fallingwater to New York's Guggenheim Museum, his works are among the most famous in the history of architecture.
Sláva a zánik starých pražských pivovarů
Závěrečný svazek třídílné série je přehledem pivovarů na území Malé Strany, Hradčan a Vyšehradu, které se udržely v činnosti minimálně do poslední čtvrtiny 19. století. V kapitolách věnovaných jednotlivých podnikům jsou připomínáni majitelé, sládci, nejrůznější příhody, pověsti a ve své době populární kulturní vystoupení, zábavy a slavnosti, které měly v mnoha pivovarských hostincích pevné zázemí. Dále jsou zde uvedeny informace technického rázu – stěžejní rekonstrukce, práce zaměstnanců nebo sortiment daného pivovaru. Součástí některých statí jsou též medailónky význačných sládků či vzpomínky zaměstnanců v podobě citací z dobových písemností. K některým pivovarům se vážou i dosud nepublikované soukromé poznámky zainteresovaných pamětníků. Poslední svazek celé trilogie je doplněn seznamem textových příloh ze všech tří dílů, tabulkami a výkladovým slovníčkem pojmů z oblasti pivovarnictví.

"I think I wanted to be an interior designer when I was thirteen," DeGeneres said. Full of hundreds of beautiful photographs of seven of her own homes, as well as places she visits for inspiration, this book will be a treasure trove of beautiful rooms and hundreds of ideas and tips on putting together the home you've always wanted.
Sinatra
Few male stars in any medium have had an impact on our visual culture like Frank Sinatra, whose centennial falls on December 12, 2015. Of his generation, only John F. Kennedy comes to mind. Like many of the greatest singers, he possessed an aura of sexuality, vulnerability, intensity and charm, and all of these qualities came through in photographs. Beyond that, he had a style of manhood that defined an ideal in the first two decades after World War II: cocky, violent, soulful, urbane and irresistible to women.Sinatra: The Classic Photographs focuses mainly on his heyday, from the late 1940s to the early 1970s and includes both well-known and rare shots of Sinatra recording, in concert and making films. These were the years of the Rat Pack and Las Vegas, socialising with Jack Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, making music with Count Basie and Quincy Jones--when he towered over the American entertainment landscape. Featured is the best work by a group of photographers who helped shape the public image of Sinatra. Among them are Bob Willoughby, who pioneered a special brand of motion picture unit photography in Hollywood; Sid Avery, known for capturing private moments of Hollywood royalty; Ted Allan, who was Sinatra's personal photographer for many years; and Ed Thrasher, art director and photographer at Sinatra's very own Reprise label. The work of these men forms the nucleus of the material gathered in this book, with an introduction by Barbara Sinatra, and commentary on Sinatra by a wide selection of people who knew him.
Archi-Graphic - An Infographic Look at Architecture
This informative and engaging book uses inventive and visually stunning infographics to take an unusual look at architecture in a way that would not be possible with words and images. Through a variety of different infographics it compares, for example, the range of materials and colours used by different architects, the relative locations of their buildings, who influenced who, and which architects are the most discussed. It also approaches architecture from more unconventional angles with spreads that show the kinds of architecture favoured by dictators, the networks of love affairs that architects got entangled in, and the defining facial features of famous architects. Irreverent and entertaining, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in architecture or infographics.
Colors - A Book About a Magazine About the Rest of the World
he book COLORS aims to explore the best of visual and textual material of the 90 issues of the magazine, created by the photographer Oliviero Toscani and the art director Tibor Kalman in 1991. The content is presented transversely through a subdivision in ten macro-themes which highlight the "Tumblr ante litteram" nature of the magazine. Twenty-five years of images and texts are shaken and served using ingredients from different issues. The idea is to tell COLORS by using its own words, in a visionary journey through time, between irony and semiotics, rereading the analysis of the world carried out by the magazine, acknowledging its high research value. Among the objectives: - celebrating and narrating COLORS in a non-direct and linear way. - not providing an axiomatic volume or making it a monument, but rather making it a subject still alive and able to talk about today's world through the work carried out on the world back then.- producing an object attractive to both the collectors and those who do not know the magazine at all, trying to intrigue those who may have only a few numbers, those who believed it was no longer published and the most faithful readers. The project becomes the clarification of the exhibit of the "rest of world" made by COLORS over the years. The themes are: - BANG! (bang, bang, bang!) weapons, violence, lust, shock; - I WANT TO BELIEVE (oh my God, it's Sunday! - Time to wake up and smell the regret) everything relating to Sunday, faith, cults, national sport, what we worship; - PLACES (People write songs about places like you - You have ruined my life) places, countries, cities, and the rooms where things happen; - THAT'S AMORE (more amore) heart, physical love, the good despite everything - DRINKING BUDDIES (did somebody say "proprioception"?) portraits of people with stories to tell, human cases, superheroes; - ELVIS (the Good, the Bad and the Elvis) fame, excess, degeneration, disguise, kitsch. - WHERE THE HELL IS MY TAIL? ("Tienes hair muy bonito!" "Quien, yo?") the animal world, with hair, tails and everything else, missing links (?) included; - COLORS IS THE NEW BLACK the essence of COLORS through the use of colors, all the colors of its themes; - FUTURE IS TEN MINUTES AWAY (I wanted to be an architect but my parents said the) the future, predictions about the future and how we get ready for it. A tribute to COLORS # 13 ends off the volume: it is the issue where Tibor Kalman narrated without the use of words.
Patti Smith Collected Lyrics 1970 2015
An American original, Patti Smith is a multi-disciplined artist and performer. Her work is rooted in poetry, which infused her 1975 landmark album, Horses. A declaration of existence, Horses was described as 'three chords merged with the power of the word'; it was graced with the now iconic portrait by Robert Mapplethorpe, the subject of her award-winning memoir Just Kids. Initially published in 1998, Patti Smith's Complete Lyrics was a testimony to her uncompromising poetic power. Now, on the fortieth anniversary of the release of Smith's groundbreaking album, Collected Lyrics has been revised and expanded with more than thirty-five additional songs, including her first, 'Work Song', written for Janis Joplin in 1970, and her most current, 'Writer's Song', to be recorded in 2015. The collection is liberally illustrated with original manuscripts of lyrics from Smith's extensive archive. Patti Smith's work continues to retain its relevance, whether controversial, political, romantic or spiritual. Collected Lyrics offers forty-five years of song, an enduring commemoration of Smith's unique contribution to the canon of rock and roll.

You Are Here
In You Are Here, celebrated astronaut Chris Hadfield gives us the really big picture: this is our home, as seen from space.
The millions of us who followed Hadfield's news-making Twitter feed from the International Space Station thought we knew what we were looking at when we first saw his photos. But we may have caught the beauty and missed the full meaning. Now, through photographs – many of which have never been shared – Hadfield unveils a fresh and insightful look at our planet. He sees astonishing detail and importance in these images, not just because he's spent months in space but because his in-depth knowledge of geology, geography and meteorology allows him to reveal the photos' mysteries.
Featuring Hadfield's favourite images, You Are Here is divided by continent and represents one (idealized) orbit of the ISS. Surprising, thought-provoking and visually delightful, it opens a singular window on our planet, using remarkable photographs to illuminate the history and consequences of human settlement, the magnificence of never-before-noticed landscapes, and the power of the natural forces shaping our world and the future of our species.
Notes from the Velvet Underground
Lou Reed, who died in 2013, was best known to the general public as the grumpy New Yorker in black who sang 'Walk on the Wild Side'. To his dedicated admirers, however, he was one of the most innovative and intelligent American song writers of modern times, a natural outsider who lived a tumultuous and tortured life. In this in-depth, meticulously researched and very entertaining biography, respected biographer Howard Sounes examines the life and work of this fascinating man, from birth to death, including his time as the leader of The Velvet Underground - one of the most important bands in rock'n'roll. Written with a deep knowledge and understanding of the music, Sounes also sheds entirely new light on the artist's creative process, his mental health problems, his bisexuality, his three marriages, and his addictions to drugs and alcohol. In the course of his research, Sounes has interviewed over 140 people from every part of Lou Reed's life - some of whom have not spoken publicly about him before - including music industry figures, band members, fellow celebrities, family members, former wives and lovers. This book brings Lou Reed and his world alive.
Sonia Delaunay
Sonia Delaunay (1885 - 1979) is one of the most important female artists of the early twentieth century, whose contribution to the European avant-garde was fundamental. Russian-born, she moved to Paris in 1906 where she studied at the Academie de la Palette. Her early work was infl uenced by the bold Fauvist paintings of Matisse, Gauguin and Van Gogh among others. Shifting her interest to abstraction, she celebrated the modern world and urban life, exploring ideas of colour theory together with her husband Robert Delaunay. She also collaborated with artists and poets such as Guillaume Apollinaire and Blaise Cendrars with whom she created the acclaimed book Prose on the Transsiberian Railway and of Little Jehanne of France. After spending time in Spain and Portugal during the First World War, Delaunay returned to Paris in the 1920s where she translated her experiments in painting into the realm of fashion. She collaborated with the Metz & Co textile department in Amsterdam and Liberty in London and also produced individual items of clothing under commission. Her interest in fashion expanded into theatre and cinema, for which she created costumes and designs for film sets.
During the Second World War and soon after, she participated in the creation of the Salon des Realites Nouvelles (1939) and developed her interest in different media, creating mosaics, tapestries and lithographs. In the same period, her paintings and gouaches evoked a renewed interest in abstraction and colour, marking her seminal role in the development of postwar abstract and applied art. With over 250 illustrations and ground-breaking essays by prominent curators and art historians, this publication seeks to throw new light on the multifaceted work of this prolifi c artist.
