ENACTing Change
Explains the ENACT model of student civic engagement, empowers instructors to implement it, and shows them how to assess its impact. ENACT: The Educational Network for Active Civic Transformation aims to teach college students about democracy through engagement with the state legislative process. Built on the values of knowledge, cooperation, justice, and integrity, ENACT is a national, intercollegiate nonpartisan network. The program empowers students to be active participants in democratic processes by connecting with policymakers and community organizations, conducting research and analysis, and informing public policy with evidence and expertise. ENACTing Change introduces teachers to the philosophy and practice of the ENACT model—which includes workshops, courses, an online network, as well as pilot projects and other initiatives—while providing detailed guidance on how to incorporate the model into their courses, regardless of discipline or educational settings. The book offers instructors recommendations for developing and teaching courses that engage in state-level policy advocacy with a focus on learning outcomes. ENACTing Change takes instructors through each step of the course design process, from how to build the relationships needed to teach the class to the next steps for students to work in the community after ENACT.
Ida Lupino, Director
The updated edition of Ida Lupino, Director: Her Art and Resilience in Times of Transition, an in-depth exploration of Lupino's film and television directing work, provides close readings of the films and TV episodes Lupino directed and accounts for the history of Lupino's reception, continuing into the mid-2020s, in media and film scholarship. The book gives readers a fuller understanding of Lupino's major contribution to the history of American cinema and media. The revisions update this book, the first on Lupino's directing, to address recent scholarship on Lupino's work and reinforce her abiding relevance for cinephiles and film scholars. It incorporates scholarly and popular culture references to Lupino in the last seven years. Updates include a foreword by writer and film critic Imogen Sara Smith, whose work in film scholarship and the public arena has drawn attention to Lupino and the importance of gender to film noir. Authors Therese Grisham and Julie Grossman have added a complete list of the TV episodes Lupino directed in the 1950s and '60s, as well as an updated epilogue. This new edition addresses how our views of Lupino's innovative cinema and her prodigious contributions to classic television have been taken up by others, proving that Lupino, whose reputation has waxed and waned since the middle of the twentieth century, is here to stay as a major figure in the history of American media.

Thinking Sideways
Chess is the art of the possible - after all, there are more possible chess games than atoms in the universe.
Chess players are experts in considering their options, allowing them to seize an opportunity, idea or move that no one else saw. Two-time US chess champion Jennifer Shahade calls this 'thinking sideways'. And in today's hyper competitive world, thinking sideways can help you win at life.
In Thinking Sideways, Shahade shows you don't have to be a great chess player to think more like a chess player. From building mind palaces to crafting decision trees, she reveals the most useful strategies from the ancient game that we can use in our daily lives. Drawing on examples from business, sports and psychology, as well as her own experiences touring the world as a chess and poker player, Shahade transforms our understanding of what success looks like, and how to achieve it for ourselves.
This book is not about playing chess better, or even playing chess at all - it's about how thinking sideways can propel you to success and happiness.

Where Future Grows
An exploration of the shift towards work environments that foster creativity, well-being and meaningful growth – reimagining the future of work as a place where people really want to be.
Although more and more tasks are being taken over by machines and artificial intelligence, humans remain the central element to the working world. For knowledge workers in particular, the choice of workplace will increasingly depend on where they can best utilize their skills, find meaning in their work, and experience a positive working environment. Where Future Grows explores this transformation of work and examines how future workplaces should be designed. An environment that considers both functional and aesthetic aspects will become increasingly important.
The authors present a vision of a working world where the boundary between life and work dissolves, allowing human potential to be fully realized. Through detailed analyses of future work environments and a series of interviews, best-practice examples illustrate how workplaces should be designed to foster both professional and personal growth.
Notes on Book Design
Insightful texts on book design that explore the visual, tactile, and cultural aspects of books through the perspective of graphic designers
Fifty readings on book design, authored by Siri Lee Lindskrog and Amanda-Li Kollberg of Formal Settings, unfold across the pages of this volume. Drawn from a curated selection of titles in the private collection of the Hopscotch Reading Room – a conceptual bookshop and event space in Berlin – each text focuses on a single book, examining its visual and tactile qualities, from materials and layout to binding and typography. “Our aim is to understand the role and potential of books through a design lens, mapping what they communicate through their physical form.”
The authors guide readers through the intricacies of book design, showing how form can become message – how a book can serve as a vessel, a statement, and an object of beauty in its own right. They explore and examine each book as a design object, situating it within the cultural movements, political climates, and economic conditions in which it was produced. This publication reveals how book design can foster shared languages and cultures, create space for the exchange and exploration of ideas, and underscore the social and cultural dimensions of design itself.
With an afterword by designer, author, and teacher Prem Krishnamurthy, providing further context and insight into the project.

Na straně svobody
V situaci, kdy se na progresivní levici i nacionalistické pravici daří autoritářským tendencím, přináší tato kniha radikální obhajobu svobody a potažmo západní civilizace, která k ideálu svobody dospěla.
Na straně svobody nabízí pohled na svobodu z několika úhlů – od hlubších filosofických úvah až po praktické politické otázky. Od představení vybraných myslitelů svobody až po její příkladné státníky. Od hravého pohledu na vlajky svobody až po osobní vzpomínky autora, jak a proč ke svým názorům dospěl. S otázkou politické svobody jen zdánlivě nesouvisí putování autora ke křesťanství a přehled spisovatelů, kteří ho na této pouti provázeli.
Stojíme na ramenou obrů: za svobodu vděčíme moudrosti významných myslitelů, rozvážnosti velkých státníků a odvaze hrdinů v klíčových momentech dějin. Svobodu můžeme snadno ztratit. Tato kniha proto poskytuje návod, jak ji i v rozbouřených časech uchránit a zachovat.
The Loon Counters
In the fictional Adirondack towns of Silver Lake and Lost River, a colorful cast of residents coexist, sometimes unharmoniously, with seasonal visitors, travelers, and vacationers. Their stories are told in The Loon Counters, which sees the residents and visitors of the community encounter Olympic torchbearers, a mysteriously unseen-but-often-heard violinist, pushy hikers, brooding art museum security guards. The characters recur across stories, seasons, and locations, finely illustrating the subtle shifts in the life of a rural, isolated Adirondack enclave. Across sixteen interconnected stories, Roger Sheffer explores the lives and world of this community of outsiders who call this unique region home. Sheffer crafts stories that speak to the complex charm of the region, the isolation and the community, the nostalgia, and the conservation, all the while finding the small places people carve for themselves in nature.

Scrypthoria A könyvtárak városa
Kedves Olvasó!
Hiszel az Elvarázsolt Könyvek Városának legendájában? A csodálatos Scryptoriában, ahol olyan sok könyvet tartanak, amennyit emberi szem még sosem látott?
Ezennel kezedben tartod a meghívót az évente egyszer megrendezett Könyvtárak Éjszakájára, amin csak a kiválasztottak vehetnek részt.
Tetszik ez a megszólítás? Vigyázz, ne bízd el magad, mert rajtad kívül mások is veled tartanak a kihívásra.
A nyertes egy minden képzeletet felülmúló nyereményben részesül, aki akár te is lehetsz. A könyvmolyok vágyainak netovábbja ez a hely, ám a végtelen könyvtár egy talán soha véget nem érő, különös kalandra csábít, ahonnan nem biztos, hogy ép ésszel térsz vissza.
Akárcsak Elodie, aki kíváncsian vágott neki a Scryptoriába vezető útnak, de a jóképű, udvarias Kaeden és a sötét, misztikusan vonzó Draven összebogozta a szálakat sorsa pergamenjén.
Nem baj, ha kételkedsz. Csak arra vigyázz, nehogy beszippantson a képzelődés, és ne tudd, hol kezdődik a valóság...
Women and Their Jewels
The word 'jewel' derives from the Old French word joiel, a word that finds its roots in the words for playing, joy, and enjoyment, proof that jewellery is intimately tied to notions of pleasure and happiness.
For some, it is the pleasure of love, for others, an obsessive passion. For Wallis Simpson, after the throne had passed her by, her jewelled treasures were her solace. As for Maria Callas, the soprano amassed diamonds and rubies to ward off the poverty of her childhood, and to spark the jealousy of a mother she hated. Barbara Hutton, America's most famous poor little rich girl, went around wearing a tiara, demanding to be called a princess. And they have been the cause of so much drama, Marie-Antoinette, whose diamond necklace identified her and sent her to the guillotine; Joséphine de Beauharnais, who was also embroiled in a necklace affair involving Marie-Antoinette's pearls; Begum Om Habibeh, Miss France 1930, and wife of the Aga Khan, who was robbed of her royal jewellery in the middle of the street...
In this gloriously illustrated book, novelist and jewellery expert David Lelait-Helo stares into the jewellery boxes of these illustrious women to discover their hearts and their minds.
The women featured are:
Ava Gardner
Barbara Hutton
Brooke Astor
Elizabeth II
Elizabeth Taylor
Eugénie de Montijo
Grace Kelly
Helena Rubinstein
Jackie Kennedy
Diana, Princess of Wales
Maria Callas
Marie-Antoinette
Princess Soraya
Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor

'Richard is a master of his craft - ultra user-friendly, it might even change the way you look at bread forever.'
- Sunday Telegraph

Breadmaking has never been more simple and do-able. Though the doughs themselves vary, the technique for making each one is identical. The beauty of it is that it takes little to no time at all to fill a bread board with Fougasses, Breadsticks, Moroccan Rolls or Poppy Seed Stars, Sesame Plaits or Cardamom and Prune Bread, and no one will guess that they are all part of the same 'family'.
Richard has been teaching bread making for several years and with his refreshing and easy approach you will discover how to 'work' the dough, get a feel for essential techniques, and have the confidence to experiment with your own ideas. Most of the breads in Dough take less than 1 hour to bake and there are suggestions on how to make the dough in advance ready for a wide range of sweet and savoury bakes - all in the knowledge that you're being guided by a master of the craft.

LEstampe Originale
L’Estampe originale portfolio revisited in landmark Catalogue raisonné
L’Estampe originale graphics portfolio, published in France during the mid 1890s, is widely regarded as one of the greatest collaborations in the history of printmaking. The portfolio features ninety-five works of art by seventy-four influential French, Swiss, Belgian, English and American artists. The visionary Parisian publisher André Marty issued and distributed nine quarterly installments of L’Estampe originale from March 1893 to March 1895 in a limited edition of one hundred. The first eight folios each consisted of ten prints of varying sizes, paper, and media, loose in paper wrappers; the final ninth installment included fourteen prints. In addition to the artist’s pencil or ink signature and an edition number, a unique blind stamp designed by Alexandre Charpentier was embossed on each print.
This revised and full color publication of L’Estampe originale, A Catalogue Raisonné highlights the importance of color lithography during the last decade of the nineteenth century. The book includes an enlightening essay based on hundreds of mostly unpublished handwritten original and facsimile letters from the artists and from Marty’s collaborators; these are preserved at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. This vast chorus of voices allows the reader to eavesdrop directly on the past and reveals rich details of the life and working methods of André Marty—an ambitious cultural insider and artist, art historian, critic, editor, prominent and discerning publisher, private dealer and entrepreneur.
Digitální antitrust
Kniha je věnována proměnám konkurence a její ochrany na digitálních trzích, zejména na těch, kde působí velké online platformy jako Google, Apple nebo Facebook. Analyzuje dopady digitalizace ekonomiky a jednání velkých online platforem z pohledu unijních předpisů na ochranu hospodářské soutěže včetně těch nejnovějších, jako je akt o digitálních trzích. Pozornost věnuje i důsledkům rychlého a všestranného rozvoje umělé inteligence a zabývá se rovněž teoretickým uchopením nových jevů digitální ekonomiky, které působí problémy klasickým konceptům ochrany hospodářské soutěže – antitrustu. Kniha je určena právníkům, ekonomům a všem zájemcům o problematiku regulace trhů, o ochranu konkurenčního prostředí před hypertrofovanou ekonomickou mocí, a tedy i o budoucí vývoj stále více digitalizované společnosti.
