Decipher
Ancient monuments all over the world - from the Pyramids of Giza, to Mexico, to the ancient sites of China - are also awakening, reacting to a brewing crisis not of this earth, connecting to each other in some kind of ancient global network. A small group of scientists is assembled to attempt to unravel the mystery. What they discover will change the world. Imagine that 12,000 years ago it really did rain for 40 days and 40 nights. That storms reigned supreme. Imagine that survivors of human civilization really were forced to take to boats or hide out in caves on mountaintops. Then consider that these same myths from around the world predict this kind of devastation will occur time and again. What could cause such a catastrophe? What occurs in nature with such frightening and predictable regularity? A pulsar. But this is not just any pulsar - the ordinary type that pulses once a second, a minute, or even a week. This pulses once every 12,000 years and sends out a gravity wave of such ferocity it beggars belief. Not only that, it's closer than anybody has ever imagined. For it lives in our own backyard. It is the Sun.
Art and its Responses to Changes in Society
Art and its Responses to Changes in Society brings together studies of young researchers dealing with the topics of decline, transformation, and rebirth from various points of view, characteristic of several different fields of the humanities and social sciences, in order to yield new insights into the analyzed subjects. The topics discussed here are diverse: on the one hand, several chapters deal with the metamorphosis of particular pictorial or architectural motifs and concepts, while on the other, studies are included that are dedicated to the analysis of the opera of individual artists, to various periods in architecture and landscape architecture, and to national and state commissions in art, as well as representations of WW2 atrocities in Yugoslavia and attempts to artistically reaffirm Christian symbolism after the end of socialism. As such, the book entails diverse scientific perceptions of art and society, from antiquity to modernity, from architecture to moving picture, from the USA to Yugoslavia, and from research on an object to observations on a concept.

Nomádi
Po několik tisíciletí národy žijící kočovnickým způsobem prostředkovaly důležité podněty mezi usedlými civilizacemi. Civilizace Středomoří a biblické Palestiny, římská, arabská, čínská a mongolská říše - všechny tyto země byly podstatně ovlivněny nomádsky žijícími etniky a kulturami. Z pohledu velkých městských center byli kočovníci vždy vnější, narušitelskou silou, zároveň ale zdrojem kulturních inovací. Čtivě psaná kniha anglického cestovatel nahlíží i do života dnešních posledních přežívajících nomádů .
游牧的歷史：塑造我們世界的流浪者
《紐約時報》《泰晤士報》專文推薦 「游牧民族沒有歷史，他們只有地理。」 ──德勒茲（Gilles Deleuze），法國哲學家 游牧民族，這個詞貫穿了人類的故事。對於一些人來說，這個詞充滿浪漫的懷舊情懷，但很多時候，它帶有一種含蓄的判斷，意指流浪者、漂泊者、移民者、逃亡者、居無定所的人，或是無家可歸的人。他們都是不為人知的人。 在這個愈來愈多人旅行的時代，有許多人都曾有過這種「不為人知」的異地經驗，我們需要認識那些過著移動生活之人的歷史，因為少了這些，就無法理解人類的流浪旅程是如何塑造...
