The surreal superhero epic penned by Peter Milligan is back in print, now collected in omnibus format for the first time! Along with fellow classics like The Sandman, Animal Man, and Hellblazer, Shade, the Changing Man--a subversive reinvention of a character created by comics legend Steve Ditko--helped usher in the era of DC's Vertigo imprint, populated by stories with a distinctly mature sensibility and fearless creative vision. Now, Shade, the Changing Man--written by acclaimed scribe Peter Milligan and with art by Chris Bachalo, Mark Pennington, and more--is collected in the omnibus format! Shade, the Changing Man starts with Kathy George's encounter with Shade's arrival on Earth from his home dimension of Meta--in the body of her parents' killer. From there, Shade and Kathy journey into America's collective unconscious to find the evil known only as The American Scream. From there, it's a mind-bending journey into the heartland of a nation, in the most celebrated work of Milligan's prolific career! Collects Shade, The Changing Man #1-50; Who's Who #7 and #15, and a story from Vertigo Jam #1; Vertigo Gallery: Dreams and Nightmares #1, along with a brand-new introduction by Peter Milligan.

This short book provides a brief introduction to the work of the late Elinor Ostrom, 2009 Nobel Laureate in economics. Her work is of vital importance in understanding how we can manage difficult environmental problems without top-down government regulation. As Professor Ostrom suggests, examples such as European Union fisheries illustrate the difficulties of approaching the management of common-pool resources with the mindset that government regulation can be a panacea. The monograph features a lecture given by Elinor Ostrom just before she died, as well as explanations of her work, its relevance and practical examples by other eminent authors. The authors help bring to life this crucial area of economics which is extremely important for all those with an interest in tackling environmental problems related to common-pool resources. This area is often ignored in mainstream economics textbooks, but is of huge practical relevance in both developed and less-developed countries.

Ze stránek Sandmana přichází Morfeova mladší sestra Smrt ve své druhé sólové knize. Legendární Neil Gaiman vypráví příběh o hudbě, smrtelnosti, přátelství a lásce. Postavy, které znáte ze Sandmana, se vracejí v laskavě děsivém a makabrózně optimistickém příběhu o tak zásadních věcech, jako jsou život, smrt a nezávislá hudební scéna.

Despite the growing belief in the efficacy of market forces, the ownership and use of land in Britain are now '...subject to a greater array of statutory controls than at any time since the introduction of the 1947 Town and Country Planning Act'. 'Market failure' arguments are used in support of land use planning. However, in this radical attack on the present regime, Mark Pennington shows that such arguments are misguided. Planners, even if altruistic, could not gather and interpret the information which would be necessary to run an efficient land use planning system. In practice, planners have their own interests and are subject to pressure from special interest groups which benefit from the present regime. Fundamental change is required, according to Pennington. The system is over-centralised, there is too little experimentation, information is lacking and incentive structures are inappropriate. The costs of enforcing property rights could be reduced by entrepreneurial action in a market. Private covenants, deed restrictions and the establishment of proprietary communities are the way forward.

Smrt neoblafneš... ale když ti někdo přiloží bouchačku k hlavě, budeš se o to fakt hodně snažit. Což zjistil John Constantine ve chvíli, kdy potkal Harryho Coopera. Král londýnského podsvětí chtěl oživit mrtvého syna a teď – o šestnáct let a jeden antiexorcismus později – ovoce tehdejšího Constantinova zoufalého činu konečně dozrálo, puklo a zalilo Londýn shnilou šťávou. A Constantine, o něco starší a o nic moudřejší, se konečně musí postavit tváří v tvář noční můře, kterou vyvolal. V komiksu HELLBLAZER: SYN ČLOVĚKA se slavný scenárista Preachera, Hitmana a Punishera Garth Ennis opět spojil se svým kreslířským parťákem z minisérie Pride & Joy Johnem Higginsem a vytvořili spolu příběh o minulosti, která se vrací jako bumerang, o minulosti, která vám udělá z mozku led, z kůže struhadlo a z duše černou díru.
