The definitive biography of one of the most emigmatic, beloved, and celebrated artists of our time. Leonard Cohen's extensive and successful recent worldwide tour has demonstrated that his popularity across generations and borders has never been greater. Cohen's life is one of singular mystique. This major in-depth biography is the book Cohen's fans have been waiting for. Acclaimed writer/journalist Sylvie Simmons has interviewed more than 100 figures from Cohen's life and work, including his main muses; the women in his life -- from Suzanne and Marianne to Rebecca de Mornay and Anjani Thomas; artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Nick Cave, David Crosby, Judy Collins, and Philip Glass; his record producers; his closest friends, from childhood to adulthood; and many of the spiritual figures who have influenced his life. Cohen, notoriously private, has granted interviews himself. Thoroughly researched and thoughtful, penetrating and lively, fascinating and revealing of stories and facts never read before, I'm Your Man offers new perspectives on Cohen and his life. It will be one of the most talked-about books of the season, and for years to come.

A major release in the New York Times bestselling One Second After series, set in an alternate America rebuilding after an electromagnetic pulse, this is William R. Forstchen's The Final Day. It’s been more than two years since an EMP attack wiped out all electricity in the United States and plunged the country into darkness, starvation, and death. After fighting their fair share of battles in their North Carolina mountain town, John Matherson and the people in his community are beginning to restore the technologies and social order that existed prior to the EMP. Then the national government announces that it’s ceding large portions of the country to China and Mexico; that the Constitution is no longer in effect; and that what’s left of the US Army has been deployed to suppress rebellion in the remaining states. The man sent to confront John Matherson is General Bob Scales, Matherson’s old commanding officer and closest friend from prewar days. Will General Scales follow orders, or might he be the crucial turning point in the quest for a re-united America? When news breaks that members of the federal government knew the EMP attack was coming long before it hit, the government might get exactly what it fears: revolution.
One Year After is the New York Times bestselling follow-up to William R. Forstchen’s smash hit One Second After, the novel cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read The story begins one year after One Second After ends, two years since nuclear weapons were detonated above the United States and brought America to its knees. After months of suffering starvation, war, and countless deaths, the survivors of Black Mountain, North Carolina, are beginning to recover technology and supplies they had once taken for granted, like electricity, radio communications, and medications. When a “federal administrator” arrives in a nearby city, they dare to hope that a new national government is finally emerging. That hope quickly diminishes when town administrator John Matherson learns that most of the young men and women in the community are to be drafted into the “Army of National Recovery” and sent to trouble spots hundreds of miles away. He and the people of Black Mountain protest vehemently. But “the New Regime” is already tyrannizing one nearby community. Will Matherson’s friends and neighbors be next?

Každý uživatel osobního počítače se setkává s počítačovou grafikou, ať už v operačním systému nebo programových aplikacích. S nárůstem výkonu počítačů se stále více uplatňuje 3D grafika, která se využívá v oblastech jako CAD/CAM, počítačové hry a filmová tvorba. Tato kniha se zaměřuje na program Blender, volně šířitelný a multiplatformní nástroj pro práci s 3D grafikou, který je hardwarově nenáročný. Blender umožňuje modelovat objekty a sestavovat scény, které lze renderovat do různých bitmapových obrázků, včetně využití raytracingu. Kromě modelování podporuje také tvorbu animací a nabízí množství animačních nástrojů, což umožňuje vytvářet složité animace. Kniha je určena začínajícím i středně pokročilým uživatelům, kteří chtějí proniknout do světa 3D grafiky bez velkých finančních investic. Může sloužit jako průvodce pro ty, kteří se chtějí této oblasti věnovat profesionálně, i pro nadšence, kteří ji berou jako koníček. Užitečná bude také pro uživatele, kteří mají zkušenosti s jinými 3D programy, neboť mohou srovnat nástroje Blenderu s těmi, které znají, a možná budou překvapeni, co vše program nabízí zdarma.

Gabrielle Chanelová (1883-1971) alebo Coco Chanel sa vyšvihla z chudobných pomerov a stala sa najvplyvnejšou módnou návrhárkou 20. storočia. V snahe nájsť v Gabrielliných príbehoch pravdu opakovane zisťujeme, že pre ňu neboli z hľadiska pravdy dôležité fakty, ale pocity. Držala sa citovej a psychologickej stopy minulosti. V jadre jej príbehov tak človek dokáže odhaliť podstatu skutočných udalostí. Spomienky, ktoré sa Gabrielle rozhodla vyrozprávať, nám môžu prezradiť oveľa viac, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá. Ak na ne nazeráme takýmto spôsobom, zistíme, že zachytávajú nesmierne smutné detstvo: Moje prvé roky života. Z tých slov… mi naskakuje husia koža. Nikto nezažil v detstve tak málo nehy. Veľmi skoro som pochopila, že život je vážna vec.”
