From the same series as Abrams' successful "Saints: A Year in Faith and Art" comes "Angels", with representations of these celestial heralds from early Christian mosaics to the paintings of Marc Chagall. Art historian Marco Bussagli has organised the book by significant Biblical events, beginning with the Creation in Genesis and ending with John the Evangelist's vision of Heaven on Earth in Revelation; each episode is accompanied by the relevant chapter and verse, along with a brief text explain ing how the work of art fits into the iconography of the time. In addition to lesser-known works, Bussagli has included favourites such as Michelangelo's "Creation of Man in the Sistine Chapel", Lorenzo Ghiberti's "Gates of Paradise", and Rembrandt's "Sacrifice of Isaac". Here are angels as assistants, messengers, punishers, soldiers, rebels and saviours, assembled for the delectation and delight of both scholars and believers.

Rakousko-Uhersko, říše ve středu Evropy. V letech 1867-1918 říše, která sjednotila různé národy, jazyky a náboženské víry. Říše, která pro některé ztělesňuje „staré zlaté časy", kdy byl „svět ještě v pořádku", pro jiné „žalář národů", nespravedlivou vládu panovníků z rodu Habsburků. Mezinárodní tým autorů se zabývá historií dualistické monarchie z různých hledisek a snaží se její složitý a mnohostranný svět představit ve všech jeho fazetách a pokud možno bez hodnocení: od rozvíjejícího se hospodářství přes formování národních hnutí a svět zbožnosti a víry po společenský život, módu a dědictví, které ve státech vzniklých na území někdejší monarchie přetrvává dodnes. Rámec pro toto jedinečné pojednání o habsburské říši let 1867-1918 tvoří více než 400 reprodukcí známých i neznámých historických dokumentů i nově pořízených fotografií ze současné doby. Pro české a slovenské vydání byla kniha doplněna o další kapitoly z pera domácích odborníků, které pojednávají o dějinách a kultuře v místech, kde se z rozpadlé monarchie zrodila Československá republika.

The glamour goes on. This title emphasizes on the delightfully curvy female foot. Our first Ed Fox title, "Glamour From the Ground Up", introduced the heir to the peculiar photographic niche long ruled by the great Elmer Batters. California native Fo x had not even heard of Batters when he first started photographing women with an emphasis on their feet. In fact, he thought he was the only young man who checked out a woman's feet before her face, and most of the time couldn't meet his models' eye s for fear they'd discern his secret. Then he became the official foot photographer for "Leg Show" magazine, just months before Batters' death, and learned of the big shoes he had to fill at the same time he realized there were thousands of men just like himself - except without the talent to capture their passion on film, or as today, in pixels. Since then, Ed Fox has become internationally known for a sensual photographic style that captures every curve of a woman's body, right down to the tip s of her toes. In "Ed Fox II" he brings us voluptuous new models, arresting locations - many blending the desert landscapes of Southern California with Fox's passion for automobiles - and fantasies mild to extra spicy, all shot in warm, caressing nat ural light. And, like "Glamour From the Ground Up", "Ed Fox II" comes with a 60-minute original DVD, bringing the still photos to vibrant life
