A celebration of Tom Ford's design work for both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent from 1994 to 2004, created with the designer’s full cooperation.
This colossal, slip-cased deluxe volume showcases 10 years of the most brilliant, most glamorous, most luxurious, and most provocative designs from one of fashion's great icons.
In one decade, Tom Ford transformed a label known for providing clothing for traditional socialites into the sexiest, most decadent line imaginable. Sales exploded at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, creating the powerful luxury goods conglomerate that the Gucci Group is today.
Ford brought a hard-edged style synonymous with 21st century glamour to his clothes, and every one of the thick, glossy pages in this collection reflect Ford’s exceptional taste.
This is a chronicle not only of Ford's clothing and accessories designs for both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, but it’s also an exploration of Ford's grand vision for the complete design of a brand, including architecture, store design, and advertising.
Fashion’s greatest photographers appear here as well, featuring more than 375 color and B&W photographs—including many previously unpublished images—by icons like Richard Avedon, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Terry Richardson, Craig McDean, Todd Eberle, and many other photographers.
Originally published to coincide with his departure from Gucci, this is Ford's testament to a career of singular moments reinventing the boundaries of style and sensuality in clothing.
With an introduction by former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter and a foreword by Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief at Vogue.
Był wybitnym twórcą malarstwa abstrakcyjnego, przedstawicielem współczesnej awangardy malarskiej określanym mianem klasyka polskiej nowoczesności. Po wczesnym okresie figuratywnym jego twórczość weszła w fazę fascynacji potencjałem koloru i światła.
Publikacja, którą przekazujemy do rąk Czytelników, została wydana z okazji setnej rocznicy urodzin artysty oraz osiemdziesięciolecia powstania Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu.
The music industry as you've never seen it before – from the bottom.
Music. We all love it. We can't live without it! But what exactly is it? Why is it so awesome? And who are the mysterious figures who create it, perform it and keep us all stocked up with the good stuff? What's it really like to be in a band and just how bad is the music industry?
In his new book, rock'n'roll underdog James Kennedy takes us on a tour through the hidden lives of the every-day musician – this isn’t hotel room trashing but how 99% of musicians live in the real world. Blowing away the usual mythologies and pulling no punches, Loud Medicine is a rough and ready rollercoaster ride – OK, transit van ride – into the secret world of the modern day musician.
It’s also an exposé of music’s many enemies, a manifesto for change and a love letter to everyone’s favourite medicine. There will be rants, dramas, a cast of dysfunctionals, big ideas, industry scam shockers, truth-bombs, f-bombs, the likely crucifixion of a beloved music icon or two – and yes, of course, there will be road stories. So come and squeeze in amongst the drum cases and warm beers, and let’s hit the road!
Nowe myślenie o gospodarowaniu, którego celem jest dobre życie obejmujące wszystkie organizmy, począwszy od maleńkiej komórki, a kończąc na całej Naturze, przedstawione jest w formie elementarza. Nie jest to praca o myśleniu ekonomicznym ani tym bardziej o ekonomii myślenia. Jest to elementarz o prowadzeniu swojej zagrody (gniazda) przez różne organizmy, w szczególności przez społeczności ludzkie (organizmy społeczne). Jak w każdym elementarzu, tak i w tym przeważa język myślenia konkretnego nad myśleniem abstrakcyjnym. Gospodarowanie jest to przecież czynność bardzo konkretna, służąca zaspokojeniu potrzeb życiowych. Każde stworzenie chce żyć i cieszyć się życiem. Ten fakt stanowi pierwszy filar nowego myślenia. Żeby żyć, trzeba mieć przede wszystkim jedzenie, schronienie i odzienie. Wszystko to pozyskuje się w wyniku czynności nazywanych gospodarowaniem. To, że każde stworzenie, aby żyć, musi gospodarować, stanowi drugi filar nowego myślenia o gospodarowaniu. Ludzkość żyje na Ziemi i z niej żyje, pasie się na ciele Natury. Natura jest bowiem największym żywym organizmem, na którym żyją wszystkie inne żywe stworzenia. Ten niechętnie akceptowany fakt stanowi trzeci filar nowego myślenia: gospodarka ludzka jest wpleciona w gospodarkę Natury. Słowa kluczowe: natura, gospodarowanie, gospodarka ludzka, wytwórstwo energii, wytwórstwo żywności
Książka jest 5 tomem CET serii monografii naukowych Wydziału Instalacji Budowlanych, Hydrotechniki i Inżynierii Środowiska Politechniki Warszawskiej, która jest wydawana we współpracy z Instytutem Badań Stosowanych Politechniki Warszawskiej Sp. z o.o. SERIA MONOGRAFIE CIRCULAR
W monografii podano ogólne założenia i zastosowania unijnej gospodarki cyrkulacyjnej i nowego paradygmatu ściekowego w gospodarce wodno-ściekowej. Przyjęto, że unijna gospodarka cyrkulacyjna może mieć zastosowanie w praktyce nie tylko w gospodarce odpadowej, ale też w gospodarce wodno-ściekowej, a szczególnie w odnowie wody ze ścieków, co jest zgodne z nowym amerykańskim paradygmatem (NEW Nutrienty-Energia-Woda), który dotyczy również odzysku substancji biogennych, energii i wody. Przedstawiono także możliwości integracji nowego paradygmatu odzysku dla substancji biogennych, wody i energii z gospodarką cyrkulacyjną, stwarzającego nowe perspektywy ekonomiczne, co jest bodźcem do opracowania i wdrożenia rozwiązań innowacyjnych, a także może odegrać istotną rolę w zrównoważonym rozwoju miast i w ograniczeniu zmian klimatycznych, przynosząc korzyści o charakterze ekonomicznym i środowiskowym.
W rozdziałach od 2 do 7 przedstawiono w pełnej skali technicznej technologie stosowane za granicą. Obejmują one zagadnienia dotyczące: odzysku wody, w tym filtrację i dezynfekcję ścieków, odzysku metali i chemikaliów oraz odzysku fosforu z odcieków z osadów, jak też usuwanie substancji biogennych, odzysku energii ze ścieków i osadów. W rozdziałach 8 i 9 zaprezentowano rozwiązania problemów środowiskowych związanych z tworzywami sztucznymi oraz z produkcją wodoru uznanego za paliwo przyszłości, wychodzące naprzeciw gospodarce cyrkulacyjnej i zmianom klimatycznym. W ostatnim rozdziale przedstawiono wybrane przykłady technologii, związanych z gospodarką cyrkulacyjną w gospodarce wodnościekowej zastosowane w Polsce.

Niniejsza książka przedstawia sposoby działania w rodzinie, w której trwa kryzys małżeński. Zawiera ona pewne praktyczne propozycje postępowania, które mogą pomóc w zachęceniu obojętnego partnera do powrotu ku obowiązkom małżeńskim.
Może to zabrzmi niewiarygodnie, ale właściwym podejściem do konfliktu małżeńskiego można zmienić rozchwiany związek we wspaniałe, zdrowe małżeństwo. Z drugiej strony, nieodpowiednia reakcja w chwilach kryzysu może do końca zdusić tlącą się jeszcze miłość.

Sądzę, że wkrótce będziecie przekonani o słuszności tego stwierdzenia, nawet jeśli Wasza rodzina nie przeżywa kryzysu.

In this unique synthesis of science and culture, former astrophysicist and writer Joanne Baker charts the global history of humanity's relationship with the cosmos. Starting with the nearby Moon before venturing through the solar system to the stars and beyond, she unveils a rich mosaic of stories and research that illuminate the significance of celestial bodies in our everyday lives.
It is a history that transcends borders and cultural traditions, taking us from Mesopotamian moon worship to the science fiction of H. G. Wells and the discovery of black holes. Driven by a personal quest to understand the universe as more than just an abstract mathematical realm, Baker also includes her own sparkling first-hand experiences – from watching a total solar eclipse in Idaho to visiting an ancient observatory in Samarkand.
Starwatchers invites readers on an extraordinary journey through space that interrogates the boundaries of our earthly existence and encourages us to reflect on how we project meaning onto the skies.
The small Scottish nation has left a big mark on the planet, and the Scots are well aware of it! Proud and easily hurt, kindly and bellicose, prudent businessmen and wild gamblers, producing some of the best food in the world and eating some of the worst, bigoted and free-spirited, tightfisted and generous-hearted—the Scots are nothing if not contrary.
This book will show you how the geography of the country has shaped the Scottish people, in all their variety. It explains why their history is important to them, and gives an insight into their values and attitudes, their home life, their business practices, their faults and virtues, their world view and beliefs. It offers practical advice on what to expect and how to behave in different circumstances.
Whilst there are certainly important differences in character between Highlanders, Lowlanders and Glaswegians, there are also national traits that are held dear by all. The typical Scottish man or woman of today may be a busy townie with the usual communications and labor-saving paraphernalia of the twenty-first century, but the simple communal life and the quiet, old-fashioned, religious ways of the tall, relaxed, slow-speaking Highlanders—their music, their Gaelic heritage, and the awe-inspiring beauty and stillness of the Highlands—are idylls profoundly embedded in the Scottish psyche.
If you show a real interest in their lives, if you are honest and “your own man” (or woman), and if you respect their sensitivities, you will find the Scots as affable as they have long been known to be.
Costa Rica is renowned both for its tropical beauty and for the warmth of the “Ticos”—its people’s own name for themselves. The Ticos have a wonderful enthusiasm for life, shown as much in their passion for soccer as in their demonstrations in support of human rights. They are also a proud people, who cherish their democracy in an area that has seen generations of political unrest.
There has been burgeoning development in Costa Rica over the last decade. With rapid growth, however, have come growing pains. The middle class is expanding, but there is still a significant and increasing amount of poverty in the country. Over the past few years there has been a profound movement of population to the towns of the Central Valley. Higher education is now the norm for young Ticos, which has put a strain on the national universities, and private universities have opened to meet the need. All these changes have created a challenge for the government in fulfilling the demands of development.
Culture Smart! Costa Rica aims to explore the complex human realities of modern Costa Rican life. Through the descriptions of the country’s history, geography, customs, and traditions, you can see how regional differences and shared values and attitudes have developed. You will get a glimpse of the Ticos’ home life, of how they do business, and of how they socialize. Armed with this information, you will be better equipped to understand your hosts and to enjoy your visit to the full. Bienvenidos!

In the popular imagination Spain conjures up a picture of rapacious conquistadores, fiery flamenco dancers, and brilliant artists. All true enough – but how closely does everyday life in modern Spain conform to these dramatic stereotypes?
Culture Smart! Spain explores the complex human realities of contemporary Spanish life. It describes how Spain’s history and geography have created both strongly felt regional differences and shared values and attitudes. It reveals what the Spaniards are like at home, and in business, how they socialize, and how to build lasting relationships with them. The better you understand the Spanish people, the more you will be enriched by your experience of this vital, warm, and varied country – where the individual is important, and the enjoyment of life is paramount.
Germany – powerhouse of Europe and pillar of the Eurozone – feels reassuringly familiar. However, despite superficial appearances, this is a country that operates very differently from the USA and Britain. German history is more than a thousand years old and the relatively new German nation-state encompasses an astonishing variety of cultural and regional differences. German society is also in a state of flux, as people respond to immigration and a tough economic climate, and traditional attitudes such as formality and rigid protocol are softening as German business globalizes.
Culture Smart! Germany sets out to show you how to be a good and sensitive guest. With chapters on core values and attitudes, and a practical business briefing, it is a valuable introduction to the German way of life. It tells you what treatment to expect, what pitfalls to avoid, and how to build rapport and credibility with this culturally rich and inventive people at the heart of Europe.
Who can afford not to understand the USA? Underneath the gleaming smile of American popular culture lies a rich and complex society that brims with contrasts and contradictions. It is a culture of rugged individualism, of go-getters, of high-tech high achievers. At the same time it is a deeply religious country with a quiet devotion to church and charitable works.
This new edition of Culture Smart! USA reveals a society in transition. In an increasingly polarized political and cultural climate, and with an ever-widening gap between the haves and the have-nots, the rise of social media has given more Americans a voice. As Americans wake up to a changing world where their global economic dominance is no longer assured, attitudes and behaviors are being challenged and reassessed across the land.
Culture Smart! USA takes you on a tour of the core influences and ideals that have shaped this great country and have driven the behavior and attitudes found on Main Street and in the workplace. It looks at Americans at work, at home, and at play, and provides the visitor with an up-to-date cultural road map of this dynamic, multifaceted society.
Legend has it that when Caesar’s general arrived on Portuguese soil in the first century CE, he claimed to have discovered a country blessed with a mild climate and a beautiful coastline, but whose inhabitants were ungoverned and ungovernable. Today, the Portuguese are still impulsive, set in their ways, and resistant to change, yet they are ever charming, romantic, and nostalgic, with an unshakable loyalty toward family and friends.
Culture Smart! Portugal takes you beneath the surface of this fascinating country and shows you how to blend in and make the most of your visit. In these pages, you will gain insight into Portuguese priorities and learn how to tap into a helpful and resourceful nature that is often overlooked by the casual visitor. Beneath a sometimes vociferous manner, the Portuguese are laid-back and gentle, so slacken your pace, put away your watch, and enjoy the rich meals, lively festivals, and ancient traditions of this great land.
Culture Smart! guides provide travelers with vital information about the values and attitudes of the people they will meet, and practical advice on how to make the most of their time abroad. Travelers to Poland in particular, a country in transition from its Communist past, need to be open-minded and well-informed.
Today’s Poland is very much a mix of the old and the new, and the two are not always in harmony. Background knowledge of the land, people, and history is crucial to understanding who the Poles are today: the Polish sense of identity has been forged by history, and the reader is introduced to the main events of Poland’s turbulent past. A chapter on values and attitudes provides essential insights into this relationship-based society, and will help visitors understand why things are done the way they are. Further chapters describe important festivals and rites of passage, as well as how Poles go about their daily social and work lives. Valuable advice is also offered on how to get along with them.
The Polish people are warm and generous and place great value on personal relationships. Show an interest in their history and an awareness of their culture, and your welcome will be warmer still.
The third-largest country in Latin America, Mexico is hugely diverse, having both rural backwaters where time seems to have stood still and manic urban centers like Mexico City, one of the most densely populated and exciting cities in the world.
This complex and fascinating country is where European and American civilizations first clashed. The repercussions of the meeting in 1519 between the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés and the Aztec Emperor Montezuma II, and the subsequent devastation wrought by the Spanish conquest, is still felt today.
Culture Smart! Mexico takes you to the heart of Mexican society and introduces you to the proud, spiritual, dynamic, fatalistic, and fun-loving people who call this country home. It describes how people socialize, the dynamics of daily life, the importance of family, and the annual cycle of feasts and fiestas. There’s advice on how to negotiate a Mexican menu, as well as information on traveling safely, communicating, and provides you with the tools to make the most of your time in Mexico.
Most guidebooks on Ireland will tell you where to stay and what to see. Culture Smart! Ireland is written for people who want to know more and go deeper. Here you will find the beliefs and attitudes of the Irish, their rich musical and literary culture, their ancient language and mythology, the values they live by, how they do business, how they enjoy themselves, and the ways they have been molded by their tumultuous history and indeed their geography. This understanding will be appreciated by your hosts; it will open doors to you, even open the hearts of a generous, talented people, justifiably proud of their unique identity.
