Bad Blood Chirovici E.O.Pevná vazba

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF MIRRORSYou can't trust your own memories. You can't trust other people's. So how do you know what really happened that night? One rainy night in New York, psychologist James Cobb gives a talk on the art of recovering lost memories.Afterwards, he's approached by a stranger: a dying man who, forty years ago, woke up in a hotel room with a murdered woman, and no memory at all of what happened. Now, he needs to know whether he was an innocent bystander - or a killer. Intrigued, James begins to unpick the tangled threads of this decades-old mystery.But everyone involved has a different story to tell, and every fact he uncovers has another interpretation. As his interest becomes an obsession, and secrets from his own past start to surface, he begins to suspect that someone has buried the truth deep enough to hide it forever. For fans of Joel Dicker, Peter Swanson and SJ Watson, Bad Blood tells a gripping story of memory, motives, and how little we really know about ourselves

Aldo Rossi: Prints 1973-1997: The Window of the Poet Rossi AldoPaperback

This book will practically recap the complete graphic work by Aldo Rossi: over 300 prints.The book will accompany a traveling exhibition having a first venue at Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht and then going to Berlin, Lausanne and Rome. Few architects were as intensely occupied with making architecture itself the subject as Aldo Rossi (1932-1997). Drawing was second nature to him, as shown by his unending stream of drawings, which were often very poetic, colourful and humorous, and always recognisable in a continual interplay of visual analogies.The Bonnefantenmuseum is presenting a touring exhibition of the graphic oeuvre of architect Aldo Rossi, in collaboration with international partners like the Fondazione Aldo Rossi, The National Institute for Graphic Art in Rome and the Polytechnic. Exhibition schedule: Maastricht: Bonnefantenmuseum, 26/6/2015- 1/11/2015further venues: Berlin, Lausanne, Rome, (dates to be fixed)

Critics may counter that the movement is in serious jeopardy or even a questionable byproduct of Western imperialism. Guant namo is still open and governments are cracking down on NGOs everywhere.

Double-cross System - The Classic Account of World War Two Spy-masters Masterman J. C.Paperback

J.C. Masterman was chairman of the Double-Cross Committee at the height of World War Two. This is his account of the double agents, deception and counter-espionage which were key to the victory of D-Day. Written as an official report for MI5 in 1945, originally published with the permission of the British Government over twenty years later, The Double-Cross System details the Allied handling of enemy agents and the British infiltration of Nazi spy-rings. Telling the stories of the agents codenamed Zigzag, Tricycle, Garbo and Snow, Masterman also tells the story of a triumphant operation in the Second World War's intelligence effort.

How We Became Posthuman - Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics, Literature and Informatics Hayles N. KatherinePaperback

Separating hype from fact, this text investigates the fate of embodiment in the information age. It relates three interwoven stories: how information lost its body, that is, how it came to be conceptualized as an entity separate from the material forms that carry it; the cultural and technological constuction of the cyborg; and the dismantling of the humanist "subject" in cybernetic discourse, along with the emergence of the "posthuman". Ranging across the history of technology, cultural studies and literary criticism, the text shows what had erased, forgotten, and elided to conceive of information as a disembodied entity. The author moves from the post-World War II Macy Conferences on cybernetics to the 1952 novel "Limbo" by Bernard Wolfe; from the concept of self-making to Philip K. Dick's literary explorations of hallucination and reality; and from artificial life to postmodern novels exploring the implications of seeing humans as cybernetic systems.

My Antonia Cather WillaPevná vazba

Of Antonia, the passionate heroine of Willa Cather's greatest novel, the narrator says that she left 'images in the mind that did not fade - that grew stronger with time'. The same could be said of the novel itself. On one level, it is a straighforward story, beautifully written, of the struggle for survival of a family of pioneers on the vast Nebraska plains. On another, it encompasses history, the relationship ofhuman beings and the natural world, and the destiny of the individual - even as it lovingly and unsentimentally portrays a woman whose robust spirit and enduring warmth make her emblematic of what Cather most admired in the American people. "The time will come when Willa Cather will be ranked above Hemingway." - Leon Edel.

Critical Infrastructure - Tyson Macaulay

Critical Infrastructure (CI) is fundamental to the functioning of a modern economy, and consequently, maintaining CI security is paramount. However, despite all the security technology available for threats and risks to CI, this crucial area often generates more fear than rational discussion.
