Kniha je určena všem, kteří malují, nebo se chtějí naučit základům akvarelové malby, a také pro všechny zájemce o umění a milovníky Prahy. Kniha obsahuje základní teorii a praktické tipy s cvičeními a snadno proveditelné, podrobné pokyny, jak malovat toto krásné město.
Autorka ukáže, jak dobře zpodobnit nejen známé architektonické prvky, jako jsou kupole, věže, mosty, ale také jak zachytit různé podoby oblohy, vody a odrazy na řece. A jak krásnou Prahu malovat i v noci, v kavárnách, v parcích, v panoramatických výhledech z pražských kopců nebo ze střešních teras.
K českému textu je připojený i text v angličtině.
How to Understand Art
The visual arts enrich our lives in many ways: bringing innovative ideas and the pleasures of beauty and emotion, but they can also confound. How To Understand Art sets out to enhance the viewer's experience by breaking down the elements of art and sculpture to provide a firm basis for simple enjoyment as well as further investigation.
With 100 visual examples drawn from across the globe, the stress is on how to assess art objectively - a key skill for any art student, museum visitor or cultural enthusiast. Janetta Rebold Benton guides the reader to re-evaluate their experiences of looking at art by learning to move beyond 'I don't know much about art, but I know what I like,' and shift towards an understanding of 'why I like it'.
Materials and techniques are discussed - drawing, painting, printing, photography, sculpture and decorative art - making it possible to assess what can (and cannot) be done in certain media. The book also features a section devoted to six key artists who have had a particularly notable and innovative influence on the history of art: Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn, Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol. Perfectly aimed at students and the general reader, this indispensable guide to the subject is well-placed to encourage questions and discussion, especially in the light of current debates surrounding class, ethnicity, gender and race.

Ten Things I Love About You
The third book in the Bevelstoke series: witty, irresistibly romantic and by the bestselling author of the global phenomenon Bridgerton
Sebastian Grey is in limbo. He is the heir presumptive to the Earl of Newbury, unless the current earl, a widower, can find a bride who will bear him a son. Newbury is in his sixties and somewhat portly, but as an earl he's considered quite a catch. Sebastian, on the other hand, is twenty-nine and devilishly handsome, but in no hurry to find a wife.
Annabel Winslow, a country girl through and through, has received an offer to go to London for the season. The eldest of a family of eight, she knows that a good marriage might be the only thing that will save her family from ruin. After a few weeks in town, Annabel attracts the attention of the Earl of Newbury. The thought of submitting to him makes her skin crawl, but she is practical and determined to do her duty.
But when Sebastian meets Annabel, sparks fly, and best laid plans look set to combust . . .

Bratislavské moderné fontány
Kniha Bratislavské moderné fontány mapuje mestské fontány vybudované v období medzi rokmi 1960 do roku 1990. Okrem tých ikonických ako fontána Družba alebo Vejárová fontána publikácia predstaví desiatky malých opustených fontán, ktoré sú zväčša neznáme alebo ich poznajú iba obyvatelia sídliskových vnútroblokov.
Kniha Bratislavské moderné fontány prináša bližší pohľad na jednu časť súboru moderných sôch vo verejnom priestore Bratislavy formou nápaditej umeleckej reflexie. Teoretik architektúry Martin Zaiček, grafička Katarína Knežníková a fotografka Andrea Kalinová v tvorivom tandeme interpretujú a zaznamenávajú súčasný stav a kvalitu bratislavských fontán. Prostredníctvom autorského rukopisu odkrývajú poetiku a inú stránku známych i menej známych diel. Ich pohľad je dostatočne silný a výpovedný, aby obstál aj bez sprievodu slova.
Publikácia Bratislavské moderné fontány sa zameriava na obdobie vymedzené rokmi 1963 až 1989, kedy bol v platnosti inštitút tzv. Hlavy V. ako súčasť vykonávacej vyhlášky k stavebnému zákonu, určujúcej investíciu do umenia v rámci rozpočtov stavieb. Kniha zaznamenáva diela takých významných autorov - sochárov 20. storočia akými boli Jozef Jankovič, Juraj Hovorka, Juraj Gavula, Peter Roller, Alexander Trizuljak, Jozef Vachálek, Alexander Bilkovič alebo Tibor Bártfay. Fontány v rámcoch významných bratislavských objektov a verejných priestranstiev však vznikali spravidla v autorskej spolupráci sochára a architekta, z ktorých nemožno opomenúť Ferdinanda Milučkého, Jozefa Slíža, Virgila Droppu a Irenu Kedrovú
Giger
"At its essence, Giger's art digs down into our psyches and touches our very deepest primal instincts and fears. His art stands in a category of its own. The proof of this lies in the intensity of his work and imagination, which I can only compare to Hieronymus Bosch and Francis Bacon in their powers to provoke and disturb." -Ridley Scott
Swiss artist HR Giger (1940-2014) is most famous for his creation of the space monster in Ridley Scott's 1979 horror sci-fi film Alien, which earned him an Oscar. Yet this was just one of the most popular expressions of Giger's biomechanical arsenal of creatures, which consistently merged hybrids of human and machine into images of haunting power and dark psychedelia. The visions drew on demons of the past, as well as evoking mythologies for the future. Above all, they gave expression to the collective fears and fantasies of his age: fear of the atom, of pollution and wasted resources, and of a future in which our bodies depend on machines for survival.
Following the SUMO-sized monograph which was begun shortly before the artist's unexpected death, this affordable anniversay edition pays homage to Giger's unique vision. The book shows the complete story of Giger's life and art, his sculptures, film design, and iconic album covers as well as the heritage he left us in his own artist's museum and self-designed bar in the Swiss Alps. In an in-depth essay, Giger scholar Andreas J. Hirsch plunges into the themes of the artist's oeuvre while an extensive biography draws on contemporary quotes and Giger's own statements.
The Mask of Mirrors
'Utterly captivating. Carrick spins an exciting web of mystery, magic, and political treachery in a richly drawn and innovative world.' S. A. Chakraborty, author of The City of Brass
Darkly magical and beautifully imagined, The Mask of Mirrors is the unmissable start to the Rook & Rose trilogy, a rich and dazzling fantasy adventure in which a con artist, a vigilante, and a crime lord must unite to save their city.
Nightmares are creeping through the city of dreams . . .
Renata Virdaux is a con artist who has come to the sparkling city of Nadezra -- the city of dreams -- with one goal: to trick her way into a noble house and secure her fortune and her sister's future.
But as she's drawn into the aristocratic world of House Traementis, she realises her masquerade is just one of many surrounding her. And as corrupted magic begins to weave its way through Nadezra, the poisonous feuds of its aristocrats and the shadowy dangers of its impoverished underbelly become tangled -- with Ren at their heart.
'Wonderfully immersive--I was unable to put it down.' Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter
'An intricate, compelling dream of a book' Melissa Caruso, author of The Tethered Mage
'I was utterly entranced by this glittering world filled with masked vigilantes, cunning conwomen, and dark magic. A sheer delight!' Katy Rose Pool, author of There Will Come A Darkness
Rules of Civility
In a New York City jazz bar on the last night of 1937, watching a quartet because she couldn't afford to see the whole ensemble, there were certain things Katey Kontent knew:
* how to sneak into the cinema, and steal silk stockings from Bendel's
* how to type eighty words a minute, five thousand an hour, and nine million a year
* that if you can still lose yourself in a Dickens novel then everything is going to be fine
By the end of the year she'll have learned:
* how to live like a redhead and insist upon the very best
* that chance encounters can be fated, and the word 'yes' can be a poison
* that riches can turn to rags in the trip of a heartbeat . . .
'If the unthinkable happened and I could never read another new work of fiction . . . I'd simply re-read this sparkling, stylish book, with yet another round of martinis as dry as the author's wit' Herald
'Terrific. A smart, witty, charming dry-martini of a novel' David Nicholls, author of One Day

Design: The Whole Story
A revised edition of this popular history of design, updated to reflect innovations since the book's first publication in 2016.
Design: The Whole Story takes a close look at the key developments, movements and practitioners of design around the world, from the beginnings of industrial manufacturing to the present day. Organized chronologically, it locates design within its technological, cultural, economic, aesthetic and theoretical contexts.
From the high-minded moralists of the 19th century to the radical thinkers of modernism - and from the emergence of showmen such as Raymond Loewy in the 1930s to today's superstars such as Philippe Starck - the book provides in-depth coverage of a subject that touches all our lives. Iconic works that mark significant steps forward or that characterize a particular era or approach - such as Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair of 1925, Eliot Noyes' corporate identity work for IBM in the 1950s and Matthew Carter's Verdana typeface, designed to be read on screen - are analysed in detail, while the text sets out the framework of ideas, intent and technology within which differing approaches to design have evolved.
From the cars we drive and the products we buy to the graphics that surround us, we are all consumers of design. Design: The Whole Story provides all the information needed to decode the material world.

My Body
Emily Ratajkowski is an acclaimed model and actress, an engaged political progressive, a formidable entrepreneur, a global social media phenomenon, and now, a writer. Rocketing to world fame at age twenty-one, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. The subsequent evolution in her thinking about our culture's commodification of women is the subject of this book.
My Body is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality, and power, of men's treatment of women and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment. These essays chronicle moments from Ratajkowski's life while investigating the culture's fetishization of girls and female beauty, its obsession with and contempt for women's sexuality, the perverse dynamics of the fashion and film industries, and the grey area between consent and abuse.
Nuanced, unflinching, and incisive, My Body marks the debut of a fierce writer brimming with courage and intelligence.

Love and Other Words
Macy is settling into an ambitious if emotionally tepid routine: work hard as a new paediatrics resident, plan her wedding to an older, financially secure man, keep her head down and heart tucked away.
But when she runs into Elliot - the first and only love of her life - the careful bubble she's constructed begins to dissolve. Once upon a time, Elliot was Macy's entire world - growing from her gangly teen friend into the man who coaxed her heart open again after the loss of her mother . . . only to break it on the very night he declared his love for her.
Told in alternating timelines between Then and Now, teenage Elliot and Macy grow from friends to much more - spending weekends and lazy summers together reading books and talking through their growing pains and triumphs. As adults, they have become strangers to one another until their chance reunion. Although their memories are obscured by the agony of what happened that night so many years ago, Elliot will come to understand the truth behind Macy's decade-long silence, and will have to overcome the past and himself to revive her faith in the possibility of an all-consuming love.
The heart-breaking and heart-warming read from No. 1 international bestselling author Christina Lauren, author of The Unhoneymooners and The Soulmate Equation.
