Strategic Humanism
Strategic Humanism takes the reader through the works of Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides, and Aristotle, laying out in clear and accessible terms their thoughts on leadership, war, and their relationship to individuals, nations, culture, and technology. In so doing, the book traces the path of ancient Greek democracy from infancy to maturity, culminating in the Athenian demise. Throughout, Hauer holds up the political, cultural, literary, and philosophical milieu of ancient Greece as a kind of looking glass to our present era of rapid technological change and democratic malaise.
Digital Transformation in Design
What does it take to create innovative tech-savvy designs that are usable, appealing, and good for society? The contributions to this volume introduce contemporary research on the digitization and »datafication« of products, exploring topics like user experience, artificial intelligence, and virtual environments in design. Coming from varied backgrounds in product design, interaction design, service design, game design, architecture, and graphic design, they emphasize that digital transformation is not just a technical process, but also a social and learning process that fundamentally changes the way we understand information.
George Washington Parke Custis
George Washington Parke Custis (1781-1857) was raised at Mount Vernon by George and Martha Washington. Young "Wash" appears in Savage's 1789 painting of the first presidential family, his small hand placed symbolically on a globe. He would later make his mark on the national landscape by building Arlington House on the Potomac. A poor student, he emerged as an agricultural reformer and sought-after Federalist orator. He championed the plights of Irish Americans and war veterans. An important memoirist, he wrote well-received theatrical works and produced paintings rich in historical detail. Inheriting much of the vast Custis fortune, he also became the enslaver of more than 200 people. The slow march toward their emancipation became the central struggle of his life, particularly after his daughter's 1831 marriage to Robert E. Lee. This first full-length biography of Custis offers a 21st century reappraisal of life that dramatically bridged the American Revolution and the Civil War.

The Lives of Bees
Seeley, a world authority on honey bees, sheds light on why wild honey bees are still thriving while those living in managed colonies are in crisis. Drawing on the latest science as well as insights from his own pioneering fieldwork, he describes in extraordinary detail how honey bees live in nature and shows how this differs significantly from their lives under the management of beekeepers. Seeley presents an entirely new approach to beekeeping--Darwinian Beekeeping--which enables honey bees to use the toolkit of survival skills their species has acquired over the past thirty million years, and to evolve solutions to the new challenges they face today. He shows beekeepers how to use the principles of natural selection to guide their practices, and he offers a new vision of how beekeeping can better align with the natural habits of honey bees.
Casa & Ambiente - Quartos & Closets
Depois de 14 edições da revista Quartos & Closets, decidimos fazer uma especial, na qual selecionamos os melhores ambientes já publicados ao longo de quase quatro anos. Assim, nas próximas páginas, você vai conferir verdadeiros dormitórios dos sonhos, literalmente. Há quartos de todos os estilos: coloridos, neutros, românticos, femininos, masculinos... Mas todos eles trazem a mesma preocupação: proporcionar aos usuários, sejam eles casais, moços, idosos ou crianças, as sensações de paz, harmonia e aconchego, de tal forma que o quarto seja o primeiro cômodo para o qual se deseja ir ao chegar em casa. Para criar essa atmosfera envolvente, móveis, acessórios e enxovais precisam estar em perfeita harmonia com o desejo e a personalidade dos moradores. Se a pessoa é agitada, a melhor opção é lançar mão de tonalidades claras, que acalmam e ativam a introspecção. Se o usuário for romântico, então, tons rosados e flores – muitas flores – são ideais. No mais, deixe-se envolver pelo conforto e tenha ótimas noites de sono!

Interview with the Vampire
The spellbinding classic that started it all, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author—the inspiration for the hit television series “A magnificent, compulsively readable thriller . . . Rice begins where Bram Stoker and the Hollywood versions leave off and penetrates directly to the true fascination of the myth—the education of the vampire.”—Chicago Tribune Here are the confessions of a vampire. Hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly sensual, this is a novel of mesmerizing beauty and astonishing force—a story of danger and flight, of love and loss, of suspense and resolution, and of the extraordinary power of the senses.
