Suurednik Andrea Nobile. Phototextualities: Intersections of Photography and Narrative. How are photographs understood as narratives? In this book twenty-two original critical essays tackle this overarching question in a series of case studies moving chronologically across the history of photography from the 1840s to the twenty-first century. The contributors explore the intersections of photography with history, memory, autobiography, time, death, mapping, the discourse of Orientalism, digital technology, and representations of race and gender. The essays range in focus from the role of photographic images in the memorialization of the Holocaust, the Argentine Dirty Warm, and Japanese American internment camps through Man Ray’s classic image Noire et blanche and Nan Goldin’s The Ballad of Sexual Dependency to the function of family albums in nineteenth-century England and America.
Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change. Liberal Fascism offers a startling new perspective on the theories and practices that define fascist politics. Replacing conveniently manufactured myths with surprising and enlightening research, Jonah Goldberg reminds us that the original fascists were really on the left, and that liberals from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton have advocated policies and principles remarkably similar to those of Hitler’s National Socialism and Mussolini’s Fascism.

The Conservative Soul – How We Lost It, How To Get It Back. In The Conservative Soul, Andrew Sullivan, one of the nation’s leading political commentators, makes an impassioned call to rescue conservatism from the excesses of the Republican far right, which risks making the GOP the first fundamentally religious party in American history. Through an incisive look at the rise of Western fundamentalism, Sullivan argues that conservatives cannot in good conscience keep supporting a party that believes in its own God-given mission to change people’s souls, instead of protecting their liberties. He carefully charts the arguments of the new conservatism, showing why they cannot work in today’s America, why they fail the test of logic and pragmatism, and why they betray the conservative tradition from Edmund Burke to Ronald Reagan.
Greece and Serbia in the Nineties: 15 (Eastern European Studies). This is an account of the war in the Balkans during the 1990s. As the only member of NATO and the European Union to support Slobodan Milosevic’s regime in the conflict following the breakup of Yugoslavia, Greece broke ranks with its western allies, frustrating their efforts to impose sanctions against Serbia. The work looks at Greek-Serbian relations and tackles the difficult question of how the Greek people could ignore Serbian aggression and war crimes. Journalistic accounts are combined with anecdotes and personal interviews to show a pattern of Greek support for Milosevic and Radovan Karadzic that implicates Greek politicians from all parties, as well as the Greek Orthodox Church, the Greek media, and ultimately the Greek people themselves. The evidence and conclusions presented aim to question the opinion that a new liberal order replaced the ideological standoff of the Cold War, but it will not surprise those who suspected that older allegiances have now claimed loyaties of many of the world’s peoples.
The Singularity is Near – When Humans Transcend Biology. A radical and optimistic view of the future course of human development from the bestselling author of How to Create a Mind and The Singularity is Nearer who Bill Gates calls “the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence” For over three decades, Ray Kurzweil has been one of the most respected and provocative advocates of the role of technology in our future. In his classic The Age of Spiritual Machines, he argued that computers would soon rival the full range of human intelligence at its best. Now he examines the next step in this inexorable evolutionary process: the union of human and machine, in which the knowledge and skills embedded in our brains will be combined with the vastly greater capacity, speed, and knowledge-sharing ability of our creations.
Genocide in Bosnia: The Policy of Ethnic Cleansing. In this compelling and thorough study, Norman Cigar sets out to prove that genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina is not simply the unintentional result of civil war nor the unfortunate by-product of rabid nationalism. Genocide is, he contends, the planned and direct consequence of conscious policy decisions taken by the Serbian establishment in Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Its policies were carried out in a deliberate and systematic manner as part of a broader strategy intended to achieve a defined political objective—the creation of an expanded, ethnically pure Greater Serbia.
Botanika i zoologija. Opis Učim na pokusima, knjiga prva: botanika, zoologija je knjiga koja će Ti se svidjeti i postati prijatelj danas i za budućnost. Ona će ti pomoći da upoznaš Prirodu i otkriješ zakone koji u njoj vladaju. I to ne samo da naučiš neke pojmove nego i zato da oni postanu tvoji, jer ih moraš usvojiti vlastitim radom kao istraživač koji uspoređuje, razmišlja i najzad zaključuje. Tako pojam neće biti samo misaoni, koji se i lako zaboravlja, nego će on postati nešto Tvoje, duboko ukorijenjeno, jer si ga sam usvojio složenim djelovanjem razuma i osjetila, instrumenata i manuelnih sposobnosti. Pojam dakle nije cilj, već sredstvo koje postaje izvor svjetlosti koja osvjetljava ličnost mlada čovjeka.

Human Action: A Treatise on Economics. Treće izmijenjeno izdanje. In the foreword to Human Action: A Treatise on Economics, Mises explains complex market phenomena as the outcomes of countless conscious, purposive actions, choices, and preferences of individuals, each of whom was trying as best as he or she could under the circumstances to attain various wants and ends and to avoid undesired consequences. It is individual choices in response to personal subjective value judgments that ultimately determine market phenomena—supply and demand, prices, the pattern of production, and even profits and losses. Although governments may presume to set prices, it is individuals who, by their actions and choices through competitive bidding for money, products, and services, actually determine prices. Thus, Mises presents economics—not as a study of material goods, services, and products—but as a study of human actions. He sees the science of human action, praxeology, as a science of reason and logic, which recognizes a regularity in the sequence and interrelationships among market phenomena. Mises defends the methodology of praxeology against the criticisms of Marxists, socialists, positivists, and mathematical statisticians.

Na otoku ispred irske obale gosti se okupljaju kako bi proslavili sklapanje braka. Mladoženja je naočit i šarmantan, televizijska zvijezda u usponu. Mladenka je pametna i ambiciozna, urednica i izdavačica časopisa. Vjenčanje je to na visokom nivou: dizajnerska haljina, udaljena lokacija, luksuzni pokloni i skupi viski. Mobitel vam možda i neće baš hvatati signal, more je nemirno… no svaki je detaldogađaja stručno osmišljen, a bit će stručno i izveden. Ali savršenstvo ne postoji… Kad šampanjac potekne i zabava počne, zamjeranja i sitničava ljubomora ispreplest će se s prisjećanjima na stare dane i dobrim željama. Djeveri će zaigrati igru iz školskih dana. Djeveruša će si upropastiti haljinu. Mladenkin će najstariji prijatelj održati neprimjerenu zdravicu…A potom će netko umrijeti. Tko to ne želi mladencima sve najbolje? I još važnije – zašto?
