Five Children & It
22,00 ₾Digging in the gravel pit on a hot summer’s day, five children discover ‘it’: a grumpy creature with eyes like a snail’s, ears like a bat’s, and a tubby body all covered in fur. ‘It’ is a Psammead, an ancient sand-fairy who has the power to grant the children one wish a day.
That, you might think, would be a dream come true! But you need to be very careful what you wish for: whether it’s for wings, treasure or beauty, things can – and often will – go wrong.

An Open Heart
30,00 ₾In the Dalai Lama’s own words: ‘It is my hope that the reader of this small book will take away a basic understanding of Buddhism and some of the key methods by which Buddhist practitioners have cultivated compassion and wisdom in their lives. The methods discussed have been taken from three sacred texts of Buddhism. I would like to stress at the outset, however, that one doesn’t have to be a Buddhist to make use of these meditation techniques. Meditation is merely the process whereby we gain control over the mind and guide it in a more virtuous direction. Meditation may also be thought of as a technique by which we diminish the force of old thought habits and develop new ones. Yet the techniques themselves do not lead to enlightenment or a compassionate and open heart. That is up to you, and the effort and motivation you bring to your spiritual practice.’

Pathfinders- The Golden Age of Arabic Science
28,00 ₾For over 700 years the international language of science was Arabic. Surveying the golden age of Arabic science, Jim Al-Khalili reintroduces such figures as the Iraqi physicist Ibn al-Haytham, who practised the modern scientific method over half a century before Bacon; al-Khwarizmi, the greatest mathematician of the medieval world; and Abu Rayhan al-Biruni, a Persian polymath to rival Leonardo da Vinci.
Gnosis or the Heart of an Angel
30,00 ₾‘A Guide for Seekers of Spiritual Knowledge’ – this is one possible title for Imma’s extensive work, which was written as a four-volume set and offers a truly unique perspective to interested readers. The book Gnosis, or the Heart of an Angel is remarkable both for its theme and content, as well as its style of narration. The author, who herself is a researcher in the natural sciences, employs an interdisciplinary approach to description, drawing from biology, physics, mathematics, philosophy, art, history, and cosmology. This method, in turn, serves to describe and share personal and collective mystical experiences throughout history.
The main theme of the book is the spiritual knowledge about the universe and humanity that once existed but is now lost. Throughout human history, the absence, distortion, or misuse of this knowledge has often led to disastrous consequences over long periods. Therefore, the transmission of spiritual knowledge in these books unfolds under the guidance and continuous supervision of the Light Hierarchy – humanity’s spiritual teachers – through direct contact with them. Using a special ability for dream visions and telepathy, combined with structured and rational analysis, the author systematically introduces us to the spiritual principles of the coexistence and collaboration between the universe and humanity.
Another unique feature of the book is its dialogue with readers: for several years, fragments of the work were published in the Facebook group ‘Gnosis.’ As a result, the reflections of readers on many important issues are included in all four volumes.
Gnosis, or the Heart of an Angel is a special work for those who are on a journey toward acquiring spiritual knowledge. Its appearance and development in the Georgian-speaking space, within this syncretic genre of knowledge, is both interesting and a joyful event.

Psychology from An Empirical Standpoint
73,00 ₾Franz Brentano is one of the founding fathers of twentieth century philosophy, celebrated for introducing the concept of intentionality to philosophy as well as making significant contributions to ethics and logic. His work exerted great influence on major philosophers such as Edmund Husserl, but also philosophers travelling in the opposite direction, such Gottlob Frege. He counted Sigmund Freud amongst his students and Freud expressed great admiration for his teacher in several letters.
Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint is Brentano’s most important and brilliant work. It helped to establish psychology as a scientific discipline, but did so in a highly original and distinctive manner by arguing for a form of introspectionism. Brentano argued that consciousness is always unified and that the hallmark of the mind is that one’s thoughts are always directed towards something – his famous theory of ‘intentionality’ – arguments that have deep implications not just for philosophy but psychology, cognitive science and consciousness studies.
With a new foreword by Tim Crane.
Everyday Life in the Modern World
63,00 ₾Philosopher, sociologist and urban theorist, Henri Lefebvre (1901–1991) was one of the great social theorists of the twentieth century and pioneered the theorization of everyday life and space.
In this fascinating book, which became a manifesto for urban activism upon its first publication in the 1960s, Lefebvre poses a major question: what gives a society undergoing constant change the illusion of stability? For Lefebvre, the answer is that our everyday lives are the product of decisions from which we are alienated, resulting in what he memorably describes as ‘terror-enforced passivity’. Modern capitalism produces and controls the space around us: the buildings we work in, the roads we drive on and even the parks surrounding us are artificial and controlled, isolating the individual in a life of repetition. Lefebvre rejects such a world of control and monotony, urging instead a spontaneous, utopian creativity, in which human beings can engage in meaningful work and leisure.
Profound and prophetic for its insights into the impact of capitalism and urbanization, Everyday Life in the Modern World remains a classic work by a towering thinker and essential reading today.
This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Claire Revol and Rob Shields.
Forensic Psychology
63,00 ₾This third edition of Forensic Psychology: The Basics continues to provide an accessible overview of the core topics and theories in this fascinating discipline.
The book provides an engaging discussion of core topics and theory in forensic psychology, alongside information about the role of a professional forensic psychologist. In addition to the established topics such as the psychology of crime and criminality, police psychology, victimology and correctional psychology, this edition has been fully updated to include coverage of:
The impact of labelling offenders
The effectiveness of new assessment
Rehabilitation programmes
Special topics such as terrorism, the effects of war on ex-service personnel and offender profiling have been updated, and further attention is paid to recent changes to legislation in the UK and other countries. The book also explores the importance of nature and nurture for people who commit offences, with a special focus on how this is relevant to the development of psychopathic tendencies.
This invaluable guide is essential reading for students across a range of disciplines, including psychology, criminology and law, as well as general readers seeking a concise and jargon-free introduction to forensic psychology.

Zaha Hadid. Complete
110,00 ₾Zaha Hadid (1950 – 2016) was a revolutionary architect. For years, she was widely acclaimed and won numerous prizes despite building practically nothing. Some even said her work was simply impossible to build. Yet, during the latter years of her life, Hadid’s daring visions became a reality, bringing a new and unique architectural language to cities and structures such as the Port House in Antwerp, the Al Janoub Stadium near Doha, Qatar, and the spectacular new airport terminal in Beijing.
By her untimely death in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among architecture’s finest elite, working on projects in Europe, China, the Middle East, and the United States. She was the first female architect to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the prestigious RIBA Royal Gold Medal, with her long-time Partner Patrik Schumacher now the leader of Zaha Hadid Architects and in charge of many new projects.
Based on the massive TASCHEN monograph, this book is now available in an accessible edition covering Hadid’s complete works, including ongoing projects. With abundant photographs, in-depth sketches, and Hadid’s own drawings, the volume traces the evolution of her career, spanning not only her most pioneering buildings but also the furniture and interior designs that were integrated into her unique, and distinctly 21st-century, universe.
“A celebration of all that is brave and audacious in her work.”
— Australian Financial Review
Contemporary Japanese Architecture
110,00 ₾Japan’s contemporary architecture has long been among the most inventive in the world, recognized for sustainability and infinite creativity. No fewer than eight Japanese architects have won the Pritzker Prize.
Since Osaka World Expo ’70 highlighted contemporary forms, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. Tadao Ando’s geometry put Japanese building on the map, bridging East and West. After his concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban, and Kazuyo Sejima pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have taken new directions, in harmony with nature, traditional building, and an endless search for forms.
Presenting the latest in Japanese building, this book links this unique creativity to Japan’s high population density, modern economy, long history, and continual disasters in the form of earthquakes. Accepting ambiguity, constant change, and catastrophe is a key to understanding how Japanese architecture differs from that of Europe or America.
This compact edition highlights 37 architects and 53 exceptional projects by Japanese masters—from Tadao Ando’s Shanghai Poly Theater, Shigeru Ban’s concert hall La Seine Musical, SANAA’s Grace Farms, Fumihiko Maki’s 4 World Trade Center to Takashi Suo’s much smaller sustainable dental clinic. An elaborate essay traces the building scene from the Metabolists to today, showing how the interaction of past, present, and future has earned contemporary Japanese architecture worldwide recognition.
Caravaggio. The Compl
110,00 ₾Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), was always a name to be reckoned with. Notorious bad boy of Italian painting, the artist was at once celebrated and controversial: violent in temper, precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the run. Today, he is considered one of the greatest influences in all art history.This edition offers a neat and comprehensive Caravaggio catalogue raisonné. Each of his paintings is reproduced from recent top-quality photography, allowing for a vivid encounter with the artist’s ingenious repertoire of looks and gestures, as well as numerous detail shots of his boundary-breaking naturalism. Five accompanying chapters trace the complete arc of Caravaggio’s career from his first public commissions in Rome through to his growing celebrity status and trace his tempestuous personal life, in which drama loomed as prominently as in his canvases.
Walton Ford
110,00 ₾At first glance, Walton Ford’s large-scale, highly detailed watercolors of animals recall the prints of 19th-century illustrators John James Audubon and Edward Lear. A closer look reveals a complex and disturbingly anthropomorphic universe, full of symbols, sly jokes, and allusions to the ‘operatic’ quality of traditional natural history.
In this stunning but sinister visual universe, beasts and birds are not mere aesthetic objects but dynamic actors in allegorical struggles: a wild turkey crushes a small parrot in its claw; a troupe of monkeys wreaks havoc on a formal dinner table; an American buffalo is surrounded by bloodied white wolves. In dazzling watercolor, the images impress as much for their impeccable realism as they do for their complex narratives.
First available as a signed and limited volume, this updated edition of Pancha Tantra is the most comprehensive survey of Ford’s oeuvre to date, with more than 20 new works. It features dazzling details, an in-depth exploration of his visual universe, a complete biography, and excerpts from his textual inspirations: from Indian folktales and the letters of Benjamin Franklin to the Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini and Audubon’s Ornithological Biography.
