How to Draw Manga: Basics and Beyond! (Manga University Presents … How to Draw Manga)
You want to draw manga, and Manga University will show you how. You’ll get VERY good at this. After all, we’ve been teaching people just like you for over 20 years.
“How to Draw Manga: Basics and Beyond!” is the latest in Manga University’s lineup of best-selling instructional books. The book features more than 1,000 illustrations drawn by Japanese manga artists whose work has appeared in leading publications, including Shonen Sunday and Young Jump. You will learn how to draw like a professional because your teachers are professionals.
We’ve divided the book into four easy-to-follow chapters that will have you drawing original characters from head to toe in no time at all:
Heads First! We begin at the top, with a chapter on how to draw heads. After all, heads are the first thing most people notice, in both art and out in the real world. And in art, just like in the real world, you want to make sure your characters make a vivid first impression … whether they’re completely human, or totally out-of-this-world.
Let’s Make Faces! The expression the eyes are the window to the soul is particularly true when it comes to manga. You can tell a lot about a character’s personality by peering into their eyes. In this chapter, we explain the basics of drawing eyes. But we don’t stop there. We also cover noses, mouths, ears, and hair.
All About Bodies! Once we’ve covered faces, we move on to teaching you how to draw bodies. We go over the differences between male and female body proportions, count heads to determine the heights of our characters, and learn how to draw hands, arms, feet, and legs.
Strike a Pose! Our book’s final chapter is all about making a physical statement. We show characters standing tall, sitting down, throwing punches, giving hugs, and more. Because even beautifully drawn characters look boring if they’re frozen stiff.
The book also includes a section on manga tools. Plus, you’ll get to know the artists who contributed to the book through exclusive interviews in which they talk about their favorite manga and anime series, hobbies, how they work, and more!

Terence Conran: My Life in Design
‘The British designer who revolutionised retail and decor.’ BBC news‘Terence Conran was instrumental in the redesigning of post-war Britain and his legacy is huge..He changed the way we lived and shopped and ate.’ Tim Marlow, Director and Chief Executive, Design Museum.
‘He spent his whole career looking for ways to make life better for everyone.’ Deyan Sudjic, Director Emeritus, Design Museum
In My Life in Design, Terence Conran tells the story of the Conran brand from the founding of the Conran Design Studio more than sixty years ago to the creation of the Design Museum, now based in a dazzling new space on High Street Kensington. Extensively illustrated chapters consider the many areas where Terence and his design team made a lasting impact on the way we live our lives, including the founding of Habitat, which introduced good, affordable homeware to the high street, his restaurants, which brought Britain out of the culinary dark ages to discover the joys of eating out and his talent for rescuing and regenerating abandoned buildings and bringing them back into exciting new use. My Life in Design is illustrated with more than 400 images – many from private collections that have not been published before.
The book is introduced by internationally renowned designer, Thomas Heatherwick, who identifies his mentor Terence Conran as ‘a modernist who, together with a tiny handful of others, gave us a new vision of Britain and ourselves.’ Now in his eighties and still designing beautiful homeware and opening buzzy, welcoming restaurants, Terence reveals the secrets and stories of this transformation of British design. Gloriously lively, opinionated and visually stimulating, this is the only book to tell the story of Terence Conran’s remarkable career in his own words.
Terence Conran: My Life in Design will appeal to designers, students and all those who have grown up with the work of the multi-talented Sir Terence Conran.

I Love Russia: Reporting from a Lost Country
‘Would you like to know where Putin comes from? What the Russians are like today? And why? Read this book’ SVETLANA ALEXIEVICH
‘Brilliant and immersive … reportage at its brave and luminous best’ OBSERVER
To be a journalist is to tell the truth. To be patriotic is to be critical, honest and fearless.
I Love Russia takes us to places that non-Russians have never seen and brings us voices we have never heard. It is Elena Kostyuchenko’s courageous attempt to document Russia as experienced by those whom it systematically and brutally erases: village girls recruited into sex work, queer people in the outer provinces, patients and doctors at a Ukrainian maternity ward, and reporters like herself.
At once uncompromising and deeply humane, it stitches reportage and personal essays into a kaleidoscopic, often other-worldly journey. Here is Russia as it is, not as we imagine it.
I Love Russia may be the last work from her homeland Kostyuchenko will publish for a long time – perhaps ever. She writes driven by the conviction that the greatest form of love and patriotism is criticism. And because the threat of Putin’s Russia extends beyond herself, beyond Crimea, and beyond Ukraine.
This is a singular portrait of a nation, and of a woman who refuses to be silenced.
‘Elena’s bravery and reportage are astonishing’ CHRISTINA LAMB
‘Kostyuchenko is an important guide to the twenty-first century’ TIMOTHY SNYDER

The 48 Laws Of Power: Robert Greene (The Modern Machiavellian Robert Greene)
THE MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
‘If power is your ultimate goal, this is the book you need’ The Times
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distils three thousand years of the history of power into forty-eight well-explicated laws. As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers.
Some laws require prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), some stealth (“Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions”), and some the total absence of mercy (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”), but like it or not, all have applications in real-life situations.
Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissenger, P T Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded – or been victimised by – power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing or defending against ultimate control.

Law, Liberty and the Constitution: A Brief History of the Common Law
A new approach to the telling of legal history, devoid of jargon and replete with good stories, which will be of interest to anyone wishing to know more about the common law – the spinal cord of the English body politic. Throughout English history the rule of law and the preservation of liberty have been inseparable, and both are intrinsic to England’s constitution. This accessible and entertaining history traces the growth of the law from its beginnings in Anglo-Saxon times to the present day. It shows how the law evolved from a means of ensuring order and limiting feuds to become a supremely sophisticated dispenser of justice and the primary guardian of civil liberties.This development owed much to the English kings and their judiciary, who, in the twelfth century, forged a unified system of law – predating that of any other European country – from almost wholly Anglo-Saxon elements. Yet by theseventeenth century this royal offspring – Oedipus Lex it could be called – was capable of regicide. Since then the law has had a somewhat fractious relationship with that institution upon which the regal mantle of supreme power descended, Parliament. This book tells the story of the common law not merely by describing major developments but by concentrating on prominent personalities and decisive cases relating to the constitution, criminal jurisprudence, and civil liberties. It investigates the great constitutional conflicts, the rise of advocacy, and curious and important cases relating to slavery, insanity, obscenity, cannibalism, the death penalty, and miscarriages of justice. The book concludes by examining the extension of the law into the prosecution of war criminals and protection of universal human rights and the threats posed by over-reaction to national emergencies and terrorism. Devoid ofjargon and replete with good stories, Law, Liberty and the Constitution represents a new approach to the telling of legal history and will be of interest to anyone wishing to know more about the common law – the spinal cordof the English body politic. Harry Potter is a former fellow of Selwyn College, Cambridge and a practising barrister specialising in criminal defence. He has authored books on the death penalty and Scottish history andwrote and presented an award-winning series on the history of the common law for the BBC.Read more

No Politics But Class Politics
Denouncing racism and celebrating diversity have become central mainstays of progressive politics: for many on the left, social justice consists of equitable distribution of wealth, power, and esteem among racial groups. But as Adolph Reed, Jr. and Walter Benn Michaels argue in this groundbreaking collection of essays, the emphasis seems to be tragically misplaced. Not only does a fixation with racial disparities distract from the pervasive influence of class―it actually legitimises economic inequality. Adolph Reed, Jr. is the towering radical theorist of American democracy of his generation.” ―Cornel West “Walter Benn Michaels is cunning, brilliant, acutely suggestive, exhilarating to read.” ―Eric Lott “For decades, Adolph Reed and Walter Benn Michaels have brought common as well as uncommon sense to the analysis of politics under oligarchic late capitalism.” ―Barbara J. Fields “Wokelords and anti-racist liberals will be frustrated, enraged, and defeated. This book pushes us closer towards the uncompromising, bare-knuckled anti-capitalist movement we so desperately need.” ―Cedric Johnson “An exhilarating journey that swaps the orthodoxies of contemporary progressive culture for a class politics rooted in universalism.” ―James Bloodworth “Adolph Reed, Jr. and Walter Benn Michaels have been among the clearest voices critiquing the dominant race reductionism in American intellectual life and proposing a real egalitarian alternative.” ―Bhaskar Sunkara “Anyone interested in the politics of race and class must push aside the dogma of identity and grapple with what Reed, Jr. and Michaels have been arguing for decades.–Jodi Dean “These essays tell the story of the last seven decades, charting the decline of the left and American politics. The result is as rich as it is rare: a long view that is pressing and immediate.” ―Corey Robin “Reed, Jr. and Michaels take a hammer to common ways of thinking about race, class, inequality and identity, revealing ugly truths, and challenging us out of our comfort zones.” ―Kenan MalikRead more

Winning Against the Odds: My Life in Gambling and Politics
Winning Against the Odds tells the captivating story of one of England’s most fascinating and eccentric men.Stuart Wheeler went to Eton and Oxford. He was an officer in the Welsh Guards, a barrister, an investment banker and a major donor to the Conservative Party. You might think that he has led a life of impeccably conformist upper-class respectability. You’d be wrong.
For Wheeler is also an illegitimate child adopted at the age of two, a maverick businessman who made his fortune on the back of `the most brilliant idea that anyone had had of his generation’ and a devoted gambler who has been thrown out of more than one Las Vegas casino.
He played cards with Lord Lucan two nights before his infamous disappearance, effectively invented spread-betting with the creation in 1974 of IG Index and gave William Hague’s Conservatives GBP5 million (still the biggest political donation in British history) before being expelled from the Tories, joining UKIP and becoming a key figure in Vote Leave during the Brexit referendum campaign.
Forthright, principled and always entertaining, Winning against the Odds is a story of bets won and lost, of outrageous personalities and dramatic events, and of a singular mind that engages with the world around it in a completely unique and compelling way.

Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present
NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER – The first full history of Black America’s shocking mistreatment as unwilling and unwitting experimental subjects at the hands of the medical establishment. No one concerned with issues of public health and racial justice can afford not to read this masterful book.“[Washington] has unearthed a shocking amount of information and shaped it into a riveting, carefully documented book.” –New York Times
From the era of slavery to the present day, starting with the earliest encounters between Black Americans and Western medical researchers and the racist pseudoscience that resulted, Medical Apartheid details the ways both slaves and freedmen were used in hospitals for experiments conducted without their knowledge–a tradition that continues today within some black populations.
It reveals how Blacks have historically been prey to grave-robbing as well as unauthorized autopsies and dissections. Moving into the twentieth century, it shows how the pseudoscience of eugenics and social Darwinism was used to justify experimental exploitation and shoddy medical treatment of Blacks. Shocking new details about the government’s notorious Tuskegee experiment are revealed, as are similar, less-well-known medical atrocities conducted by the government, the armed forces, prisons, and private institutions.
The product of years of prodigious research into medical journals and experimental reports long undisturbed, Medical Apartheid reveals the hidden underbelly of scientific research and makes possible, for the first time, an understanding of the roots of the African American health deficit.

Green New Deal, The: Why the Fossil Fuel Civilization Will Collapse by 2028, and the Bold Economic Plan to Save Life on Earth
While the Green New Deal has become a lightning rod in the political sphere, there is a parallel movement emerging within the business community that will shake the very foundation of the global economy in coming years. The key sectors that make up the infrastructure of the economy are fast-decoupling from fossil fuels in favor of solar and wind energies that are becoming ever-cheaper. New studies are sounding the alarm about the prospect of 100 trillion dollars in stranded assets that are creating a carbon bubble likely to burst by 2028 – causing the collapse of the fossil fuel civilisation. The marketplace is speaking and governments will need to respond if they are to survive and prosper. In The Green New Deal, New York Times bestselling author and renowned economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin delivers the political narrative and economic plan for the Green New Deal that we need at this critical moment in history. The concurrence of a stranded fossil fuel assets bubble and a green political vision opens up the possibility of a massive shift to a post-carbon ecological era, in time to prevent a temperature rise that will tip us over the edge into runaway climate change. With twenty-five years of experience implementing Green New Deal-style transitions for both the European Union and the People’s Republic of China, Rifkin offers his vision for how to transform the global economy and save life on Earth.Read more

The Preaching of Islam: A History of the Propagation of the Muslim Faith (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Preaching of Islam: A History of the Propagation of the Muslim FaithIt is with considerable diffidence that I publish these pages: the subject with which they deal is so vast, and I have had to prosecute it under circumstances so disadvantageous, that I can hope but for small measure of success. When I may be better equipped for the task, and after further study has enabled me to fill up the gaps left in the present work, I hope to make it a more worthy contribution to this neglected department of Muhammadan history; and to this end I shall be deeply grateful for the criticisms and corrections of any scholars who may deign to notice the book. To such I would say in the words of St. Augustine: “Qui hsec legens dicit, intelligo quidem quid dictum sit, sed non vere dictum est; asserat ut placet sententiam suam, et redarguat meam, si potest. Quod si cum caritate et veritate fecerit, mihique etiam (si in hac vita maneo) cognoscendum facere curaverit, uberrimum fructum laboris huius mei cepero.”
As I can neither claim to be an authority nor a specialist on any of the periods of history dealt with in this book, and as many of the events referred to therein have become matter for controversy, I have given full references to the sources consulted; and here I have thought it better to err on the side of excess rather than that of defect.

CROSSROADS: Rugby League’s Greatest Battle
Crossroads – Rugby League’s Greatest Battle is a contrarian and controversial look at rugby league in Australia and the great challenges and threats the code faces into the future.
After the bitter civil war of Super League in the mid 1990s that ripped the heart out of the game, the code was supposed to have a happy ending with the newly merged NRL in 1998 and the creation of the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) in 2012 to govern the code independently, which would enable the code to fight fire with other sports in Australia and allow the sport to finally reach its potential. But that happy ending has eluded the sport and seems further away than ever before, despite the media’s lavish praise for current Chairman Peter V’landys.
Despite rugby league dominating and being the number one sport in both New South Wales and Queensland, with record television ratings, large media deals, solid crowds and extensive media coverage, the game faces great risks to its long-term success, both from within and externally, with threats from the nation’s strongest sport, the AFL.
The outside looks great to most fans, but as Covid exposed the fragilities of the code after years of fiscal mismanagement, only by going deeper do you see the real health of the patient.
Crossroads examines key matters which are not often discussed in today’s agenda-driven and non-independent corporate media, such as leadership, governance, the role of Peter V’landys, country rugby league, financial mismanagement, integrity and ethics, the dangers of today’s media, politics, grassroots, NRL product, expansion, the World Club Challenge and the international game.
Written from the perspective of a long-time fan who is completely independent, it’s a no-nonsense look at the sport and a must read for all who love rugby league.

Italian Primary Sentence Builders – Book 1 (The Language Gym – Sentence Builder)
Italian Sentence Builders – Primary – Book 1 contains 10 units which concern themselves with a specific communicative function, such as ‘I can say my name and age’, ‘I can talk about the weather’, ‘I can say what’s in my town’. You can find a note of each communicative function in the Table of Contents.Each unit includes:
- a sentence builder modelling the target constructions, introduced by questions to guide communication;
- a set of Listening-As-Modelling activities to train decoding skills, sound awareness, speech-segmentation, lexical-retrieval and parsing skills;
- a set of reading tasks focusing on both the meaning and structural levels of the text;
- a set of translation tasks aimed at consolidation through retrieval practice;
- a set of writing tasks targeting essential writing micro-skills such as spelling, functional and positional processing, editing and communication of meaning.
Each sentence builder at the beginning of a unit contains one or more constructions which have been selected with real-life communication in mind. Each unit is built around that construction but not solely on it. Based on the principle that each E.P.I instructional sequence must move from modelling to production in a seamless and organic way, each unit expands on the material in each sentence builder by embedding it in texts and graded tasks which contain both familiar and unfamiliar (but comprehensible and learnable) vocabulary and structures. Through lots of careful recycling and thorough and extensive processing of the input, by the end of each unit the student has many opportunities to encounter and process the new vocabulary and patterns with material from the previous units.
Alongside the units you will find: No Snakes No Ladders tasks created to practise speaking skills with an engaging and fun board game that can be photocopied and played in groups of 3 students.

Ballroom: A People’s History of Dancing
‘This book is a MUST read for anyone curious and interested in the special origins and developments of Ballroom & Latin American dancing.’ – Marcus Hilton MBE, with Karen Hilton MBE nine times World Professional Ballroom champion
‘A fascinating book. Hilary French tells the history of dance from the very beginning. I learnt a lot and found it immensely interesting and insightful. If you are interested in dance and how we have got to where we are today, this is an essential read. Enjoy!’ – Matthew Cutler, British, UK and World’s Latin champion, Strictly Come Dancing champion and owner, Matico Dance Studio
‘Hilary French’s pioneering book combines social history, economics, fashion, music, dance technique and architecture and design in an engaging mix … it blends scholarship with infectious enthusiasm.’- Professor Sir Christopher Frayling, Cultural Historian, Broadcaster and Former Rector of the Royal College of Art
In the early twentieth century, American ragtime and the Parisian tango fuelled a dancing craze in Britain. Public ballrooms were built throughout the country, providing a glamorous setting for dancing. The new English style, defined in the 1920s and followed by the films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the 1930s, ensured that ballroom dancing continued to be the most popular British pastime until the 1960s, rivalled only by cinema.
This book explores the vibrant history of ballroom and Latin dancing: the dances, lavish venues, competitions and influential instructors. It also traces the decline of couple dancing and its resurgence in recent years with the hugely popular TV shows Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars.Read more
