Vitajte v New York City Upper East Side, kde sú týždenné prázdniny synonymom divokých večierkov, nových známostí a odhalení istých vskutku neslýchaných tajomstiev. Sú tu jarné prázdniny a S a B sú už zbalené na cestu do Sun Valley, aby sa okrem svaho v poriadne vyšantili aj vo vírivke. Tí menej šťastní, ktorí musia zostať v New Yorku, môžu len ticho závidieť. A späť na svahy: keď máte taký veľký dom, kto by dokázal usledovať všetko, čo sa deje s N a kto kde spí? Takže vytiahnite svoje kašmírom po dšívané čižmičky a stretneme sa pri kozube.

Silmarillion je majstrovským spracovaním originálnych mýtov a legiend bájnej Stredozeme, ktoré predchádzajú dejiny slávnej trilógie Pán prsteňov. Súbor príbehov, ktoré spolu dávajú obraz Sveta, od Stvorenia až do doby ľudskej (i keď veľmi dávnej). Kniha vznikala s prestávkami v priebehu viac ako päťdesiat rokov. Tolkien celý život vytváral tento svet, svet v ktorom sa odohrávajú príbehy Silmarillionu a svet, ktorý poznajú a obdivujú milióny čitateľov. Tak vznikala Stredozem, Aman, Valinor, stovky postáv, udalostí, okamihov ich života, tak vznikali nové mýty a písma.

Silmarillion opisuje všetky najdôležitejšie udalosti imaginárneho Sveta, od jeho stvorenia v hudbe Ainur po koniec Tretieho veku. Príbehy hovoria o vzniku Stredozeme, o jej mytológii a najstaršej histórii, o národoch, ktoré v nej žili v dobách pred veľkými udalosťami v knihe Pán Prsteňov. Rozpráva o osude troch klenotov – silmarillov – ktoré vyrobil najnadanejší z elfov Fëanor, a ktorých sa zmocnil Morgoth. Príbehy a legendy ústrednej časti knihy sa zaoberajú veľkými udalosťami Prvého veku. Rozprávajú o božských mocnostiach Valar a Maiar, ich temných protipóloch Melkorovi a Sauronovi, opisujú pád pyšného kráľovstva Númenor až po odchod Tých, ktorí niesli Prstene, čo podrobne vykresľuje kniha Pán Prsteňov. Silmarillion je tak pôsobivá kniha, až zvádza nepochybovať o tom, či opisuje skutočné dejiny skutočného sveta.

Light is the prerequisite for spatial perception, which is why it is an integral component of architecture. Light design in architecture has become more lively and also more colourful in the last few years. The projects selected here show how good architecture is improved with the right light. With interior design, the purpose of the introduction of natural light and the use of artificial light is to create a spatial experience: certain areas are accentuated, spatial units are defined and differing atmospheres are

Since the release of the first edition of 1000 x European Architecture in 2006, the world of architecture has gone through some major changes: in the midst of an seemingly unstoppable building boom the banking crisis descended on the world economy in 2008, but since 2010 a spirit of optimism has taken hold again. A completely new impact for the world of architecture, which is gaining in significance, is the Web 2.0 and the rapidly increasing influence of social media.The vehement debates about style at the end of the 20th century have faded away, instead the questions of quality in execution, valence of the material and especially ecological sustainability have moved to the foreground of the discussions. The new edition of the bestseller 1000 x European Architecture presents the European building culture during this tumultuous time with 1000 projects from the last five years.

This is a must-have for anyone looking for garden design ideas. Hundreds of full-color images are cleverly arranged to offer thousands of possible design solutions and inspirations for any type of garden. The book includes gardens from all over the world and features projects by the best contemporary designers at work today, including Topher Delaney, James van Sweden, Piet Oudolf, Rick Darke, Sean Hogan, and many others. Alongside never-before-seen private gardens, the book also includes celebrated public spaces such as Manhattan's High Line--a disused elevated freight track redesigned into innovative, naturalistic plantings--whose ideas can be adapted for the home garden. The book is divided into four sections: "Connect" looks at design features that act either as connecting or dividing elements; "Divide" considers elements that can be used to create rooms within gardens; "Space" explores different spatial types; and "Styles" covers every type of garden style throughout history, from cottage gardens to today's minimalist designs. Rounded out with a series of useful directories on designers, sources, and public gardens, this is the book for garden design ideas

Alongside contemporaries Slayer, Megadeath and Anthrax, Metallica came to prominence in the eighties as one of the 'big four' of thrash metal. Metallica were to thrash, though, what the Sex Pistols were to punk.Nearly thirty years on, their tale is one of alcohol, rule breaking and tragically early death. But allied to that are colossal sales figures for their records - they are the fifth-highest selling recording artists of all time - and members with backgrounds that touch on jazz and classical music. Metallica, in fact, have garnered more critical acclaim than any heavy rock band since Led Zeppelin.Fresh from the critical and commercial success of WHEN GIANTS WALKED THE EARTH, Mick Wall takes a similar informed look at the band, a group he has known on and off since their formation in 1981.

Gardens inside buildings represent a sustainable vehicle for a host of ecological and economic advantages. Factors such as improving the indoor climate and the workplace situation and hence increasing quality of life are the critical parameters of this very special design task. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the planning and implementation of this special kind of garden, taking the concrete planning process as its guide. From design fundamentals and concept development with different typology variants all the way to the choice of materials, the various construction principles, and building services, all subjects relevant to planning are comprehensively presented. The planning information is illustrated with numerous international examples, with projects ranging from a "green wall" as interior design element and private house gardens in Australia, New Zealand, and Germany all the way to award-winning ecological offi ce buildings in the USA and the Netherlands, an old-age home in Sweden, and an indoor park in Canada.

Turn off the television - in fact, why don't you turn off all the lights except for the one over your favourite chair? - and we'll talk about vampires here in the dim.
