Zrádné tropy (základní verze)
Za zlatem, slávou a průšvihy! Zrádné tropy nás v krkolomných zvratech rafinovaného a prudce pádícího děje zavedou stejně tak do bájného Eldoráda jako do paláců španělských velmožů, do hlubin peruánských dolů či na vrcholky hor, do džunglí i do pustin. Španělské „pikareskní romány“ vyprávějí o životě nějakého šibala či lotra. Mezi ty nejslavnější právem patří dílo Franciska de Queveda ze sedmnáctého století nazvané Život rošťáka. De Quevedův román končí tím, že „hrdina“ Pablos odplouvá do Nového světa. Vynikající scenárista Alain Ayroles a Juanjo Guarnido, kreslíř, jejž nejvíce proslavila série Blacksad, se rozhodli odvyprávět pokračování tohoto příběhu. Příhody nenapravitelného ničemy Pablose v Jižní Americe uvádějí na scénu barvitou mozaiku krajin od Amazonie po Kordillery a lidí i lidiček od španělských grandů až po uprchlé otroky, což umožnilo Guarnidovi předvést celou paletu velkolepých scenérií, ohromujících barev a karikovaných postav, jak to od něj známe z Blacksada.
Renoir
Vannak festők, akik a világot ábrázolják, és vannak, akik újra felfedeztetik velünk. Pierre-Auguste Renoir ilyen művész volt, olyan alkotó, aki nemcsak látni tanított, hanem érezni is. Képei nem pusztán jelenetek, hanem fényből, levegőből és emberi közelségből szőtt, élő pillanatok. A lombok között rezgő napfény, egy nyári délután aranyló könnyedsége, a beszélgetések halk moraja, a táncoló párok örvénylő mozgása, barátok egymásra hajló tekintete mind-mind életre kel vásznain. Renoir festészetében az élet nem távoli vagy ünnepélyes, hanem közvetlen, meleg és lüktetően eleven. E könyv lapjain egy olyan festő élete bontakozik ki, aki a mindennapok egyszerű szépségében találta meg a művészet örök témáját. A párizsi műtermek világából indulunk, ahol a fiatal Renoir kitartással és kíváncsisággal kereste saját hangját, majd végigkísérjük a Montmartre pezsgő utcáin, a kávéházak és tánchelyek vidám forgatagában. Megelevenednek az impresszionista barátságok, a műtermek modelljei, a hűséges mecénások és a múzsák világa, köztük Aline Charigot alakja is, aki nemcsak festményeinek derűs szereplője, hanem a művész életének csendes középpontja lett. A könyv felvillantja a keresés és az átalakulás éveit, az itáliai utazások meghatározó élményét, amikor a reneszánsz mesterek harmóniája új irányba terelte festészetét. Elvezet továbbá a dél-francia tájak ragyogó csendjébe, ahol a mediterrán fényben megszülettek utolsó művei, telt formákkal, meleg tónusokkal és időtlen nyugalmat sugárzó alakokkal. Renoir egész életében ugyanazt a titkot kutatta: miként ragadható meg a festészet nyelvén a fény, az emberi test lágysága és az egymás közelében élő emberek csendes intimitása. Képei nem csupán látványt őriznek, hanem egy életérzést, a pillanat törékeny boldogságát. Talán éppen ezért különösen megrendítő életének utolsó fejezete. Amikor a betegség már minden mozdulatot fájdalmassá tett, amikor ujjai alig engedelmeskedtek, makacs derűvel és rendíthetetlen hittel festett tovább, mintha minden ecsetvonással az élet szépségét erősítené meg újra és újra. Utolsó éveiben, a dél-francia fény ölelésében született képei különös békét sugároznak. Csendéletei, portréi és az emberi test szépségét megidéző festményei egy hosszú élet derűs vallomásai. Arról tanúskodnak, hogy a szépség mindig jelen van a világban, csak meg kell tanulnunk észrevenni.

Daimler Fleetlines
The embryonic Daimler Motor Co. Ltd and the Lancashire Steam Motor Co. (Leyland Motors Ltd from 1907) were both formed in 1896 and produced early examples of motor vehicles in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Daimler established a number of works in the district of Radford in Coventry, where a range of high-end cars and buses were assembled.Leyland had stolen a march on Daimler by bringing the revolutionary Atlantean to the market in late 1958. It would be August 1960 before Daimler’s equivalent, the Fleetline, was introduced. The Fleetline possessed many of the attributes of the Atlantean but one gave it an advantage over its competitor. A drop-centre rear axle was fitted as standard which eliminated the need for low-height bodywork. Also, apart from a few early models, the bus was mainly powered by the ever-reliable Gardner six-cylinder engine.The two builders went toe-to-toe during the 1960s and early 1970s as the only other realistic equivalent option was the Bristol VRT. Jaguar Cars, who had acquired the company from BSA in 1960, was keen to divest itself of the Bus Building Division and this resulted in a merger with Leyland Motors. Production of the Fleetline was transferred to Leyland’s Farington site during 1973. However, it wasn’t until 1976 that the Daimler name was dropped in favour of the Leyland Fleetline brand name, which continued to be available until 1981.Over 8,700 Fleetlines were produced under the Daimler name, including a significant number of single-deck types. Here Mike Rhodes charts the fortunes of the Fleetline until the Daimler name was dropped.
VW Corrado
The VW Corrado is a purebred sports car in its own right, originally tasked with the difficult job of replacing the legendary Scirocco coupés. It was designed to showcase the Volkswagen Group’s considerable technical and mechanical capabilities in the late 1980s.

The car’s evolution over the years, the different variants, the special series and even the original preparations, developed by the best German tuners such as Oettinger, Treser, ABT or Zender, are also featured in this book. This indispensable guide tells the complete story of the VW Corrado.

The Art of Uncertainty
From the UK's 'statistical national treasure', a clever and data-driven guide to how we can live with risk and uncertainty
We live in a world where uncertainty is inevitable. How should we deal with what we don't know? And what role do chance, luck and coincidence play in our lives?
David Spiegelhalter has spent his career dissecting data in order to understand risks and assess the chances of what might happen in the future. In The Art of Uncertainty, he gives readers a window onto how we can all do this better.
In engaging, crystal-clear prose, he takes us through the principles of probability, showing how it can help us think more analytically about everything from medical advice to pandemics and climate change forecasts, and explores how we can update our beliefs about the future in the face of constantly changing experience. Along the way, he explains why roughly 40% of football results come down to luck rather than talent, how the National Risk Register assesses near-term risks to the United Kingdom, and why we can be so confident that two properly shuffled packs of cards have never, ever been in the exact same order.
Drawing on a wide range of captivating real-world examples, this is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty while also having the humility to admit what we do not know
The Making of the Modern Middle East
Jeremy Bowen, the International Editor of the BBC, has been covering the Middle East since 1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled present. In The Making of the Modern Middle East he offers a gripping and invaluable guide, showing how it came to be and what its future might hold.
In part based on his acclaimed podcast, 'Our Man in the Middle East', Bowen takes us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets ordinary men and women on the front line, and their leaders, whether brutal or benign. He explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic control.
Clear throughout is Bowen's deep understanding of the political, cultural and religious differences between countries as diverse as Erdogan's Turkey, Netanyahu's Israel and Palestine, whether Hamas-controlled Gaza or the West Bank. His long experience of covering events in the region make this an extraordinarily powerful account of one of the world's greatest problems.

At least that was my plan before I busted a hockey player’s knee and became public enemy number one. Now the team’s golden boy captain, Alexander, leads the charge against me. Kane, the brooding defenseman never misses a chance to humiliate me. Yet, being painfully ignored by Mountain, the reserved giant of a goalie, may just hurt the most.

Amnesia Remembered
Our modern culture is increasingly expressed in the form of digital artifacts, yet archaeology is in its infancy when it comes to researching and understanding them. The study and reverse engineering of digital artifacts is no longer the exclusive domain of computer scientists. Presented by way of analogy to the process of archaeological fieldwork familiar to readers, the 1986 Electronic Arts game Amnesia is used as a vehicle to explain the procedure and thought process required to reverse engineer a digital artifact. As a go-to reference to learn how to begin studying the digital, Amnesia is shown to be a multi-layered artifact with a complex backstory; through it, topics in data compression, copy protection, memory management, and programming languages are covered.
