The Tour Guide
Everyone wants to visit New York at least once. The Big Apple is a global tourist destination with a dizzying array of attractions throughout the five boroughs. The only problem is figuring out where to start—and that’s where the city’s tour guides come in. These guides are a vital part of New York’s raucous sidewalk culture, and, as The Tour Guide reveals, the tours they offer are as fascinatingly diverse—and eccentric—as the city itself. Visitors can take tours that cover Manhattan before the arrival of European settlers, the nineteenth-century Irish gangs of Five Points, the culinary traditions of Queens, the culture of Harlem, or even the surveillance cameras of Chelsea—in ...
Jesteś cudem
CZY ZNAJDZIESZ W SOBIE DOŚĆ ODWAGI, BY STAĆ SIĘ DLA KOGOŚ CUDEM? Kiedy dochodzi do karambolu, Kamil działa pod wpływem impulsu – narażając własne życie, wyciąga Maję z rozbitego samochodu. Dziewczynie udaje się przeżyć, jednak musi pożegnać się z marzeniami o karierze baletnicy. Zagubiona i samotna, coraz bardziej pogrąża się w mroku. Kamilowi wszystko przypomina o tym, jak kruche jest życie. Doświadczył tak wielkiego cierpienia, że bez trudu dostrzega, że z Maja dzieje się coś złego. Wyciąga do dziewczyny rękę, gdy ta najbardziej tego potrzebuje. Choć czuje, że mógłby być z Mają szczęśliwy, to widmo śmiertelnej choroby wciąż nad nim krąży, a tragiczne wspomnienia nie pozwalają pójść naprzód. Czy Kamil i Maja zdołają ocalić rodzące się między nimi uczucie? Ile odwagi potrzeba, aby uratować ukochaną osobę? Jak wybaczyć komuś coś, czego on sam nie potrafi sobie przebaczyć? Powyższy opis pochodzi od wydawcy.
Design Attitude
Design Attitude is a book for those who want to scratch beneath the surface and explore the impact design and designers have in organisations. It offers an alternative view on the sources of success and competitive advantage of companies such as Apple, where design plays a leading role. It sheds light on the cultural dynamics within organisations, where professional designers have a significant presence and influence. At its heart, the book asks a question: what is the nature of designers’ contribution that is truly unique to them as professionals? To answer this deceptively simple question the author combines a multitude of hours of ethnographic study inside the design community; in-depth...

Time
Time permeates language, society, and individual lives, but time eludes definition. From grand scales of geologic time to the exasperation of waiting in endless bureaucratic lines, from the unifying sense of ancestral presence at an ancient monument to the imminent question of climate resilience, this volume presents conceptions of time through a kaleidoscope of cultures and disciplines. Accessible to students and scholars alike, the book demonstrates that far from natural, stable, or singular, time is culturally dependent, historically contingent, socially constructed, and disciplinarily specific – and that multidisciplinary and cross-cultural conversations transform our understanding of time.
Shields of Deception

McClellan is plunged onto a bizarre and twisted t...
778 Orreaga. Birth of a Kingdom
There are times when people change the course of their history. It happens rarely and requires the union of many different wishes. This novel by Arantzazu Ametzaga tells passionately one of those chapters, perhaps the most important and unknown, which took place in a Pyrenean gorge back in August of 778. She tells the story in a documented and entertaining way, bringing together different stories from two timelines: the VIIIth century, going with Charlemagne to Vasconia, and the XIIIth century, developing stained glass in the cathedral of Chartres. A captivating tale to recall the deed which founded the first Vascones Kingdom.
