  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Fantastic Mr. Fox is a stop-motion animated film directed by Wes Anderson, based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel. The story follows Mr. Fox, a clever and adventurous fox who, after settling into a new home with his family, returns to his old ways of stealing from three cruel farmers. As he leads his family and animal friends in a series of heists, they face increasing danger. The film explores themes of family, loyalty, and the struggle between personal desires and responsibilities. With quirky humor, visual symmetry, and a heartfelt narrative, it balances whimsy and depth. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Wes Anderson, the writer, producer, and director, opted to have the actors record their lines in natural, on-location settings rather than in a studio to capture a more spontaneous feel. The recordings took place in various locations, including a forest, an attic, a stable, and even underground.” 
    
  “The color scheme of the movie predominantly features autumn tones—yellow, orange, and brown—with very little use of green and blue. However, Kristofferson’s blue outfit was intentionally chosen to highlight his status as an outsider.” 
    
  "Fantastic Mr. Fox" was the first book Wes Anderson ever owned, a gift from his mother when he was seven years old. It has remained on his bookshelf ever since.”

  "An innovative and unusual account of Star Trek’s lost voyages that makes for a fascinating alternate history." — Brian J. Robb in Sci-Fi Bulletin
  
  SPACE. THE FINAL FRONTIER. THESE WERE ALMOST THE VOYAGES OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE.
  
  We think we know the history of Star Trek. Born at the height of 1960s popular culture, the five-year mission of Captain James T. Kirk and his crew faced early cancellation, bounced back with a series of beloved movies in the 1980s and gave way to a fleet of successful sequels and spin-offs that kept on exploring strange new worlds.
  
  In Lost Federations: The Unofficial Unmade History of Star Trek, author A. J. Black tells a different story. This is an alternate history of the franchise, one filled with roads not taken, from early 1960s feature-films and spin-offs, the original sequel Star Trek: Phase II in the 1970s, via epic planned movies such as Planet of the Titans and into many untold episodes, arcs and character stories from The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager, all the way through to the modern era.
  
  Bringing together pre-existing material over decades for the first time in one space, plus some new reflections from Star Trek writers and analysis of how it all fits into the wider cultural trends of the last sixty years, Lost Federations invites you to boldly explore a history you may not already know...

  The last monks left Ittingen Charterhouse in 1848. The buildings, which had been built over centuries, passed into the possession of the Canton of Thurgau and later private owners, who used them as a stately residence and model farm. Since 1977, the Ittingen Charterhouse Foundation has operated the complex as a cultural and meeting centre, which also houses two cantonal museums. The excellently preserved site provides a lively insight into the history of the place and its former inhabitants. The monks’ cells, cloister gardens and richly furnished rococo church allow visitors to form a direct impression of how the Carthusians perceived of themselves as hermits in the community.

  Emotional Design - Why We Love...

  Why attractive things work better and other crucial insights into human-centered design 
   
   
   
  Emotions are inseparable from how we humans think, choose, and act. In Emotional Design, cognitive scientist Don Norman shows how the principles of human psychology apply to the invention and design of new technologies and products. In The Design of Everyday Things, Norman made the definitive case for human-centered design, showing that good design demanded that the user's must take precedence over a designer's aesthetic if anything, from light switches to airplanes, was going to work as the user needed. In this book, he takes his thinking several steps farther, showing that successful design must incorporate not just what users need, but must address our minds by attending to our visceral reactions, to our behavioral choices, and to the stories we want the things in our lives to tell others about ourselves. Good human-centered design isn't just about making effective tools that are straightforward to use; it's about making affective tools that mesh well with our emotions and help us express our identities and support our social lives. From roller coasters to robots, sports cars to smart phones, attractive things work better. Whether designer or consumer, user or inventor, this book is the definitive guide to making Norman's insights work for you.
