Art Nouveau: The Worlds Most Beautiful Buildings from Guimard to Gaudi Schwartzman Arnold

Following his most recent book, Art Deco City, author/photographer Arnold Schwartzman focuses his attention on the Art Nouveau style around the world, from Paris to Barcelona and beyond.This richly illustrated book of over 200 photographs offers a fascinating guide to the Art Nouveau movement. The style known as Art Nouveau emerged at the close of the 19th century, a period known as the fin de sicle. It was a time of new ideas and inventions, such as the flying machine, automobile, Cinmatographe, telephone, and the talking machine.The term Art Nouveau is derived from La Maison de l'Art Nouveau, a shop opened by dealer Siegfried Bing in Paris in 1896. Its aesthetic was established by the British Arts and Crafts movement founded by William Morris in 1861 as a handcraft reaction to the mass-production ethos of the Industrial Revolution. Art Nouveau is based on

The Little Men: An Afghanistan Diary McCafferty George

'I was in Musa Qala for a month with the brave men of 5 Scots. Most of that time was spent on the front line fighting the Taliban. On average, we would get eight contacts before 8 o'clock in the morning. They referred to 5 Scots as the Little Men. They may have been small in stature, but they fought like giants.' Ross KempHelmand Province in Afghanistan in 2008 was the most dangerous place on earth. George McCafferty of Delta Company led 12 Platoon through the fighting season. For some of that period Ross Kemp went out with the Platoon to film and report for Sky News. '"Ross, What's wrong with this picture?" I asked him, he knotted his eyebrows and looked around."No civvies!" he exclaimed. He was absolutely right, not only were there no visible signs of life but there was also no noise, no call to prayer.' 'The Little Men' tells the real story of Operation Herrick, unvarnished, from the

Osada

Uprostred lesa sa ukrýva malý zhluk chatrčí. Žijú v nich ľudia - či lepšie povedané prežívajú, pretože okolitý svet živých stromov a nočných netvorov je zlé a nepriateľské miesto, kde je človek nevítaným hosťom. Záhuba tu číha v tisíckami rôznych podôb a každučký krok môže priniesť smrť alebo šialenstvo ... Obyvatelia osady deň čo deň zvádzajú boj o prežitie aj o zachovanie svojej ľudskej dôstojnosti. Sníva o tom, že sa im podarí preniknúť na vzdialený sever, kde sa možno nachádza nádej na záchranu. Cesta k nej je dlhá a neľahká. Vedie divočinou plnú dravých beštií a zasneženými veľhorami s jediným realizovateľným priesmykom. Napriek tomu sa ľudia na začiatku každého leta, ktorá je v tomto svete vzácnosťou, vydávajú na cestu. Až doteraz končili všetky výpravy neúspechom, avšak teraz na strastiplnú púť prvýkrát vyráža nové pokolenie, mladí ľudia, ktorí vyrástli v osade a doby pred jej založením poznajú iba z rozprávania ... Osada u nás prvýkrát vyšla v 80. rokoch minulého storočia; obe jej časti boli vtedy publikované samostatne, pod názvami Počul som Zemi a Zem je príliš ďaleko . Predovšetkým u druhej knihy však došlo k jej skrátenie a vtedajší slovenský preklad navyše nevychádzal z autorovej finálnej verzie diela. Táto kniha teda v skutočnosti predstavuje prvé české vydanie dnes už klasického Bulyčovova diela, súborné a úplné.

Where the Muses Still Haunt: The Second Reading Anne Hall Drury

"Re-reading is one of life's joys," Anne Drury Hall reminds us. Not simply from the sweetness of remembering or because of the way a book can be like an old friend, but because returning to a great book is inseparable from the endeavor to succeed at being human. The "pull of something old and steady and reliable, the pull to rise to a higher plane" is an important aspect of this experience, where the reader truly "notices" and "connects" with the world and himself. This is why books are the cornerstones of education and the source of the power of concentration.After leaving school and becoming lost in adulthood, can one return to these books and revive the quest to be great? For this is why we call such books "great". Yet as Hall says, "few people use the phrase 'great books' any more except ironically, because there is an odd view in the current intellectual fog that there is no

A Villa 5: Viharfelhők a villa fölött

Sötét fellegek gyülekeznek Németország fölött: a Melzer család tagjainak össze kell tartaniuk ezekben a baljós időkben, hogy megmentsék szeretett otthonukat, a villát és a textilgyárat... Augsburg, 1935. Nehéz idők járnak a Melzer családra is. Marie kénytelen feladni sikeres divatszalonját, amikor kiderül zsidó származása. A férje, Paul is komoly gondokkal küzd, a textilgyár pénzügyi helyzete nem valami rózsás, a náci rezsim pedig egyre nagyobb nyomást gyakorol rá, hogy beálljon a sorba. Amikor egy napon azt tanácsolják Paulnak, hogy sürgősen váljon el a feleségétől, Marie súlyos következményekkel járó döntésre jut, amely mindannyiuk életét örökre megváltoztatja... Anne Jacobs lebilincselő regényfolyamának ötödik kötete a megalkuvásról, a kompromisszumokról szól. Amikor a történelem úgy dönt, hogy szétszakít családokat, a szerelem és a hűség ereje vajon elég-e ahhoz, hogy a nehéz időket átvészelhessük? Megtarthatjuk-e a méltóságunkat, ha bármikor ránk törhetnek, miközben amit eddig felépítettünk, egy pillanat alatt semmivé válhat?

Sentencing the Self-Convicted: The Ethics of Pleading Guilty Roberts Julian V.

This book addresses the fundamental ethical and legal aspects, penal consequences, and social context arising from a citizen's acceptance of guilt. The focus is upon sentencing people who have pleaded guilty; in short, post-adjudication, rather than issues arising from discussions in the pretrial phase of the criminal process.The vast majority of defendants across all common law jurisdictions plead guilty and as a result receive a reduced sentence. Concessions by a defendant attract more lenient State punishment in all western legal systems. The concession is significant: At a stroke, a guilty plea relieves the State of the burden of proving the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and in open court. Plea-based sentencing has become even more visible in recent years.The book provides insightful commentary on the following questions: - If an individual

Turnaround Time: Uniting an Airline and Its Employees in the Friendly Skies Munoz Oscar

Go behind the scenes of the aviation industry as Oscar Munoz tells soulful lessons about how he rose from humble immigrant origins to lead United Airlines through one of modern business' greatest turnarounds, navigating crises and even a heart transplant along the way, but ultimately inspiring his employees to unite and fly as one.United Airlines, the iconic brand that invented the "Friendly Skies" and built modern aviation, found itself amid rough turbulence and was anything but united in 2015. With its reputation in freefall, operations and profits cratering, customer and employee trust fraying--and competitors pushing into coveted routes--United needed a new captain to turn things around, fast.A Mexican immigrant and the first Latino to run a major airline, Oscar Munoz was an unlikely choice to take the helm, and he proved himself a very kind of

Die Stadt der Freude 1

Lemuel the Fool Uhlberg Myron

"At night, while the other villagers dreamed of catching fish, Lemuel dreamed of sailing over the horizon."Lemuel is a fisherman and a fool. When he sets out on a journey across the sea, he makes sure to tie a red scarf on the bow and a rope to the stern; with the scarf waving before him and the rope trailing behind, he'll always know he's going the right direction.Disoriented after a storm, Lemuel lands near a strange new village--except that it's strangely familiar, down to the woman who looks exactly like his own dear wife and even calls him by name.Later that night, a very confused Lemuel sets sail for home and away from the madness. With the red scarf before him and the rope trailing behind, he's confident he'll arrive at home again--and be safely back among the familiar.A great fan of Jewish folklore, especially the rich tradition of "fools,"
