The story of a man, Michel, who travels through Europe and North Africa, attempting to transcend the limitations of conventional morality by surrendering to his appetites (including his attraction to young Arab boys), while neglecting his wife Marceline.
Ja sam od onih za koje važi samo jedna jedina ljubav u životu. Ono od čega panično bežite, stigne vas. Strah je kao senka. Uvek ide za vama. Jedino noću, poverujete da ste se oslobodili… Četiri žene, četiri glumice koje vode potpuno različite živote, iznenada se spajaju u istoj tački, kada dobiju poziv da dođu na snimanje probnih scena za film čuvenog reditelja Borisa Pavlovića. Nada, Ana, Jelena i Una u potrazi za jednom jedinom rečenicom koja daje smisao svakom životu, putuju na Sveti Stefan da izgovore monolog svog života. Svoje račune svodi i taj fatalni muškarac, reditelj Boris Pavlović. Da li je režiranje života ponekad nesebična rabota? Da li laž može biti plemenita? Da li je jedna rečenica dovoljna? I da li, kad lažljivac kaže da laže, on govori istinu, samo su neka od pitanja kojima se bavi ovaj roman. Jer ono što znamo jedni o drugima, uvek je tako malo, samo nekoliko reći, baš kao što kaže pesma Arsena Dedića.

Drugu knjigu Slavka Patekara, Da sam normalan, poludio bih!, objavila je Nova knjiga Rast 2007. godine. Knjiga sadrži dva temeljna motiva: jedan je prikaz razočaranosti mnogih dragovoljaca Domovinskog rata onime u što se pretvorila država koju su snivali i svojim tijelima stvarali; drugi je značaj prijateljstva koje pomaže da se i duboke tmine duše nadvladaju ako ne i zatome. Otuda je knjiga posvećena piščevim prijateljima, osobama bez kojih ne bi bilo ni njega onakvim kakav doista jest, niti bi bilo ovakvih misli. Kako bi izgledao ljudski život bez prijatelja? Kakvi bi ljudi hodali svijetom da ne poznajemo osjećaj prijateljstva? Iako svi o tomu znamo i previše, a pisci vjerojatno najviše, stječe se dojam kako se o tim vezama ne piše mnogo, odnosno kako se više, a osobito u novijoj literaturi, bilježe mračnije strane života ljudi. Zato bi bilo dobro bilježiti ljepše strane ljudskoga života, ono što u svojoj potpunosti znači prijateljstvo, bez obzira u kakvom je žalosnom okruženju moglo nastati. I neka potreba za bilježenjem takve ljepote kao što je prijateljstvo bude još jedan motiv u stvaranju likova koji će oživjeti u prostorima između korica ovog romana.
Kapija, sedmi roman autorke Tamare Kučan, predstavlja ljubavnu priču ispričanu iz dva ugla – muškog i ženskog. Pored ljubavi, Kapija priča priču o begu od svakodnevice koju uporno pokušavamo da promenimo. U ovom romanu će se pronaći svako ko je jednom poverovao u nemoguće, svako ko je našao način da nemoguće učini mogućim. Glavni junaci Amita, indijska imigrantkinja i Jorgos, sin uglednog grčkog preduzetnika, pričaju svoje priče, naizgled različite. Od ljubavi do mržnje, od prijatelja do stranaca, preko laži i istine o svetu u kome živimo. Pored Amite i Jorgosa, čitalac upoznaje i dve potpuno različite porodice, okovane u lance intriga, skandala, tajni.
From 1861 to 1890 the Munich publishing firm of Braun & Schneider published plates of historic and contemporary costume in their magazine Münchener Bilderbogen. These plates were eventually collected in book form and published at the turn of the century in Germany and England. This volume presents all 125 double-spread plates from the third English edition. For the first time, the plates appear in chronological order and with English captions. Over 1,450 costumed figures are shown, from antiquity to the end of the nineteenth century, covering a wide variety of social classes, and professions: Egyptian and Assyrian kings, Byzantine emperors, Frankish and Norman nobles, priests, servants, soldiers of many lands and eras, crusaders, German knights, pages, Italian scholars, German townspeople, peasants, merchants, Dutch burghers, popes, nuns, bishops, monks, English Puritans and Cavaliers, English and French kings, Swiss citizens, French courtiers and republicans, and many more. In addition, there is excellent coverage of late-nineteenth-century folk and their costumes, captured just before the beginning of standard Western dress — Italian, Spanish, Dutch, French, German, Russian, Eastern European, Chinese, Japanese, Asian, and others. To avoid the variable and somewhat fanciful depictions of color in the early editions, all costumes are rendered in black-and-white. A comprehensive source of historic costume in pictures, this remarkable book will be invaluable to costume designers, students of fashion design, commercial artists, and anyone interested in the history of dress. The illustrations are uniformly excellent, and the exceptionally low price makes this book even more attractive.
The Conversation Series: 10 In recent years no other German conceptual artist has received such worldwide recognition through his consistent artistic work as Thomas Demand. His photographic installations, based on complex work processes, range from the search and selection of motifs, through the construction of paper maquettes, to photographs of the completed installation. In an intensive conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Demand provides precise and insightful information on concepts and rules of operation, the reconstruction and reverberation of history, on work processes and studio reality as well as on his significant recent exhibitions. English and German text.
Are we on the verge of solving the riddle of creation using Einstein’s greatest blunder? In a work that is at once lucid, exhilarating and profound, renowned mathematician Dr. Amir Aczel, critically acclaimed author of Fermat’s Last Theorem, takes us into the heart of science’s greatest mystery. In January 1998, astronomers found evidence that the cosmos is expanding at an ever-increasing rate. The way we perceive the universe was changed forever. The most compelling theory cosmologists could find to explain this phenomenon was Einstein’s cosmological constant, a theory he conceived–and rejected—over eighty years ago. Drawing on newly discovered letters of Einstein–many translated here for the first time–years of research, and interviews with prominent mathematicians, cosmologists, physicists, and astronomers, Aczel takes us on a fascinating journey into the strange geometry of space-time, and into the mind of a genius. Here the unthinkable becomes real: an infinite, ever-expanding, ever-accelerating universe whose only absolute is the speed of light. Awesome in scope, thrilling in detail, God’s Equation is storytelling at its finest.

Deviant Behavior by Erich Goode provides a comprehensive study of the behavior, beliefs, conditions, and reactions to deviance, giving students a better understanding of this phenomenon. Deviance is discussed from the sociological perspectives of positivism and constructionism. Readers will grasp the reason behind deviant behavior through the positivist perspective and why certain actions, beliefs, and physical characteristics are condemned through the constructionist perspective.
Criminal Profiling is a unique work centered on the deductive profiling method developed by the author and motivated by the limited knowledge available regarding the criminal profiling process. Deductive profiling is different from other forms of profiling in that it focuses on criminal profiling as an investigative process, solving real crime through an honest understanding of the nature and behavior of criminals. It approaches each criminal incident as its own universe of behaviors and relationships. Throughout the text, the author illustrates and emphasizes the most crucial tenet that any good criminal profiler should adhere to: the enthusiastic desire to investigate and examine the facts. This Second Edition contains the same core knowledge that made the first edition a best-seller while introducing a wealth of new material. This expanded and thoroughly revised edition includes a completely new set of case studies including the Sam Sheppard trial. New chapters include expanded coverage on false reports, psychological autopsies, criminal profiling in court, stalking, domestic homicide, sexual asphyxia, and staged crime scenes. Contributors include: John J. Baeza, Eoghan Casey, W. Jerry Chisum, Dana S. La Fon, Michael McGrath, Wayne Petherick.

Poznavanje skrivenih uticaja onoga što kupujemo Ekološka se odnosi na razumevanje organizama i njihovih ekosistema, a inteligencija podrazumeva kapacitet da se uči iz iskustva i efikasno ophodi prema svojoj okolini. Ekološka inteligencija nam omogućava da primenjujemo ono što naučimo o načinima na koje ljudska delatnost utiče na ekosisteme da bismo nanosili manje štete i ponovo živeli održivo u svom kutku – a danas je to cela planeta. Sadašnje pretnje zahtevaju da izoštrimo jedan novi senzibilitet, odnosno kapacitet za prepoznavanje skrivene mreže povezanosti između ljudske aktivnosti i prirodnih sistema i tananih složenosti njihovih preseka. To buđenje prema novim mogućnostima mora dovesti do zajedničkog otvaranja očiju, to jest, do promene naših najosnovnijih pretpostavki i percepcija, one koja će pokrenuti promene u trgovini i industriji, kao i u našem pojedinačnom delovanju i ponašanju. Baš kao što socijalna i emocionalna inteligencija nadograđuju sposobnost za sagledavanje perspektive drugih ljudi, saosećanja s njima i izražavanja zabrinutosti, ekološka inteligencija proširuje taj kapacitet na sve prirodne sisteme. Da bi se iskoristila ta inteligencija, moramo odmaći dalje od razmišljanja koje smešta ljudsku vrstu izvan prirode; činjenica je da živimo isprepletani u ekološkim sistemima i da utičemo na njih, bilo pozitivno bilo negativno – kao i oni na nas. Potrebno je da otkrijemo i podelimo između sebe sve načine na koje ta intimna međusobna povezanost deluje, da sagledamo skrivene obrasce koji povezuju ljudske aktivnosti s višim kretanjem prirode, da razumemo svoj pravi uticaj na nju i da naučimo kako da činimo više dobra. U ovoj provokativnoj knjizi Danijel Goleman nam pokazuje da će se sve u vezi sa time šta i zašto kupujemo promeniti. Do dana današnjeg, tvrdi on, naše razmišljanje o problemima kao što su životna sredina, opasnosti po zdravlje ili izrabljivanje dece, ostalo je jednodimenzionalno, usredsređeno samo na pojedinačne probleme izolovane od svih ostalih. Naša „zelena svest toliko je površna da često proizvedemo više štete nego koristi tako što ignorišemo granice do kojih seže opasnost izazvana našim postupcima i proizvodima koje kupujemo. Ekološka inteligencija donosi veliki broj upozoravajućih i bolnih činjenica o predmetima koje svakodnevno koristimo mi i naša deca i pokazuje nam kako će fenomen radikalne transparentnosti – dostupnosti kompletnih informacija o svim aspektima nekog proizvoda – uskoro početi da menja moć potrošača i sudbinu poslovanja. Kompanije više neće moći da kontrolišu sopstvenu reputaciju. Po prvi put će ono što kažu biti daleko manje značajno u odnosu na ono što u stvari rade. Postaće istinski odgovorne. Prepuna praktičnih uputstava, ova knjiga postaje neophodan priručnik za razumevanje očekivane, neminovne revolucije informacija!
Če obstaja slovenska Sveta knjiga, potem je to Zaplotnikova Pot. Arbitrarno internetno svinjanje po Prešernu, Cankarju, Pučniku, Janši, Kučanu, Preglu, Mazziniju, Muckovi, Makarovičevi, Karlinovi, Novyjevi – in tako naprej do onemoglosti – bo vselej naletelo na odobravanje iz bolj ali manj zatohlega subkulturnega kotička. Človeka, ki bi mu šel na jetra Zaplotnik, si ne morem predstavljati. Zaplotnik je ponarodel že s prvo izdajo Poti. Kdor išče cilj, bo ostal prazen, ko ga bo dosegel, kdor pa najde pot, bo cilj vedno nosil v sebi. A Poti ni treba brati zaradi redkih, skorajda nenavadnih filozofsko-pesniških vstavkov, temveč predvsem zaradi avtorja, ki je spreten in dosleden popisovalec alpinističnega življenja in občutij. Pot je književnost. Zaplotnik pretanjeno nagovarja svojo publiko na kavčih, obnemelo ob slikah veličastne moči narave, ki je s seboj vzela tudi premladega Nejca.
