The Future of (Post)Socialism
Explores the current and future trajectories of the paradigm of postsocialism. If socialism did not end as abruptly as is sometimes perceived, what remnants of it linger today and will continue to linger? Moreover, if postsocialism is an umbrella term for the uncertain times of various transitions that followed in socialisms wake, how might the post be rendered complicated by the notion that the unfinished business of socialism continues to influence the trajectory of the future? The Future of (Post)Socialism examines this unfinished business through various disciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches that seek to illuminate the postsocialist future as a cultural and social fact.

Making the invisible visible
As film stars, actresses have contributed to the film industry's glamorous surface. To talk about women in film as invisible may thus seem odd. This book, however, is concerned with the paradox that on the other side of the camera, women are clearly underrepresented. This is true of contemporary film culture, and has been true historically, despite significant variations between countries/geographical areas, historical time periods and different roles/professions in film production, distribution and exhibition. Considering women's gradually increasing participation in the paid workforce during the 20th century, women's representation in film work might also be expected to increase gradually ...

The World's Newest Profession
In The World's Newest Profession Christopher McKenna offers a history of management consulting in the twentieth century. Although management consulting may not yet be a recognized profession, the leading consulting firms have been advising and reshaping the largest organizations in the world since the 1920s. This groundbreaking study details how the elite consulting firms, including McKinsey & Company and Booz Allen & Hamilton, expanded after US regulatory changes during the 1930s, how they changed giant corporations, nonprofits, and the state during the 1950s, and why consultants became so influential in the global economy after 1960. As they grew in number, consultants would introduce organizations to 'corporate culture' and 'decentralization' but they faced vilification for their role in the Enron crisis and for legitimating corporate blunders. Through detailed case studies based on unprecedented access to internal files and personal interviews, The World's Newest Profession explores how management consultants came to be so influential within our culture and explains exactly what consultants really do in the global economy.
Neurozená hraběnka
Může vysoce postavený šlechtic naslouchat svému srdci? Catesbymu není osud právě nakloněn. Po nuceném odchodu z armády se nepohodl se starším bratrem, čímž si uzavřel přístup do rodového sídla. A pak jednou navečer kráčí ulicí, pohroužen do chmurných úvah, když zahlédne skupinku pobudů, která přepadla mladou dámu. Alespoň této nepravosti může zabránit – a tak to i udělá. Prudence si nevybrali za oběť jen ti násilníci. Život jí ničí také sobecký bratr a arogantní snoubenec, avšak ona nese svůj úděl statečně. A pak se náhle všechno změní: ten neznámý dobrodinec ji zachrání nejprve před útočníky a následně i před dalšími strázněmi: ožení se s ní. Takovýto neuvážený skutek by možná Catesbyho vznešená rodina přešla pouhým pokrčením ramen, kdyby se po náhlé bratrově smrti nestal hrabětem. Takový skandál – dědice rodového titulu a jmění má povít neurozená žena! Catesby a Prudence se sice ještě pořádně neznají, ale v nastalé situaci jim nezbývá nic jiného, než být jeden druhému oporou. A kdo ví, možná mezi nimi vzklíčí i láska?

Ne znam da li mozete zamisliti koliko je tesko napisati osvrt na delo osobi koju poznajete. Koliko je tesko ne upasti u zamku apsolutno prijateljske reči. Koliku odgovornost, čast i tezinu to nosi sa sobom. Odgovornost je tim veca sto ponekad i nismo istih stavova a pored toga ima poverenja u moj sud, samim tim je i čast veca. Zeljko Toprek je autentični autor na nasim prostorima. Godinama sam pratio njegov rad, čitao njegove pesme koje nisu bile u skladu sa stegama koje nose pravila i forme kako se pisu. Zeljko je pisao u slobodnom stihu. Pisao ih je tako da čitaoc ima osecaj da čita priču. Sada je otisao korak dalje. Svoje pesme je preobukao u novo ruho i sve to lepo upakovao u roman koji je pred nama. Zeljkov roman je kao i njegova poezija usko povezan sa vremenom danasnjim, proslim i sa skrivenim pogledom u buducnost. Njegove rečenice i stavovi su iskreni, i drustveno angazovani. Roman kao roman sadrzi neke lične priče sto njegove sto njegovih poznanika i sa velikom dozom maste.-Vladimir R.Z. Protic
Ottolenghi: The Cookbook
'Ottolenghi changed the way we cook in this country just as surely and enduringly as Elizabeth David’s A Book of Mediterranean Food had in 1950. It brought into our kitchens bold flavours, a vivid simplicity, a spirited but never tricksy inventiveness and, above all, light.’ Nigella Lawson Inspired by their childhoods in West and East Jerusalem, Yotam Ottolenghi’s and Sami Tamimi’s original cookbook Ottolenghi: The Cookbook showcases fresh, honest, bold cooking and has become a culinary classic. Yotam and Sami's inventive yet simple dishes rest on numerous culinary traditions, ranging from North Africa to Lebanon, Italy and California. First published in 2008, this new updated editio...
