How the New Seven Wonders of the World Were Built
The Great Wall of China, Petra, The Colosseum, Chichén Itzá , Machu Picchu, The Taj Mahal, and Christ the Redeemer were selected as the new seven wonders of the world by over 600 million people who participated in a vote between 2000 and 2007. But have you ever wondered how these monumental structures have been built centuries ago without using the modern technologies and heavy machinery that is available today? This book will give you the answers you are looking for.
Batch; Craft, Design and Product
Batch; Craft, Design and Product by Andrew Tanner covers a hot new trend coming from international craft designers: making small batches of skillfully crafted work for large retail outlets. This is the cream of the contemporary craft world, crossing into most disciplines and mediums, including ceramics, textiles, wood, glass, precious metals, and metal work Detailing a glorious array of these handcrafted objects, the book is filled with information gathered from each maker, explaining the ideas and concepts behind their products, and how they got started and developed their work. The book also includes practical information on running a small craft business, such as connecting with manufacturers, dealing with press, sourcing commissions, conceptualizing packaging, and managing marketing. Also featured is a gallery and design-shop guide that will appeal to craft makers for both visual interest and practical information, and to craft buyers as a directory of the best contemporary work in the field.

You're about to be flooded with infamous ideas, prototypes, and crazy attempts at coming up with something new over the course of the last century. The means of transport presented in this book may have not led to a technological revolution but did help us progress. After all, people learn from their mistakes.

Čeština pod hákovým křížem
Jazyk není pouze nástrojem komunikace, ale je chápán i jako jedno z kritérií národa. V politicky vypjatých časech se mluvčí upínají k jazyku jako ke stěžejní hodnotě, kterou je nutno bránit. V období nacistické okupace kulminovalo česko-německé nesoužití a jazyk hrál klíčovou roli. Jaké plány měli nacisté s češtinou? Jaké místo v protektorátu zaujímala čeština a němčina? Jak čeština fungovala ve veřejné správě, ve školství a ve vědě? Jak se změna politických poměrů odrážela na postojích obyvatel a na jejich komunikačních strategiích? A jak vůbec vypadal jazyk (za) totality? Používání a fungování českého jazyka představuje doposud opomíjené téma výzkumu Protektorátu Čechy a Morava. Kniha Čeština pod hákovým křížem se snaží tuto mezeru zaplnit.
Amazing Plants of the World
Welcome to this botanical garden, where human feet have not trodden for many years. Actually, one has-or rather a pair of them have. They belong to a passionate botanist who spends all his time in the company of flowers. He does not seem interested in people, as he feels himself to be a plant rather than a member of the species homo sapiens. He may seem strange-or even scary, like anything unknown-but rest assured that he is completely harmless just like his plants are . . . unless you're a fly or a beetle, which his carnivorous plants love to eat, that is. No worries, those meat lovers might possibly snatch at your snack if you have a ham sandwich or a sausage in your bag, but that's all. Though some of the plants from this forgotten botanical garden look predatory at first sight, even spooky, they are still just plants that can never catch you. Enough talking, though! Keep your hats on as our tour of the botanical garden begins . . .
