PHILOSOPHY OF PUBLISHING Our motto: "Buying our books, you do not spend money, but invest them profitably" Of course, the competition in the domestic book publishing market is huge, so each publishing entity must be different in order for consumers to pay attention to it. OWK Publishing House, in the process of preparing and releasing its products, respects its partners, readers, their time and money, and tries to publish only those books that are really useful for readers. The books of OWK Publishing House usually do not fall to the dust, lying on the shelves for years, and are not used to improve the interior of the room, but daily help professionals and ordinary citizens to solve complex practical issues in various areas of law. Publication of a legal book is usually the main activity of OWK Publishing House, but it is not the only one. The publishing house plans to publish interesting books in other fields of science and technology, as well as fiction in 2014. The main thing we plan to achieve in our activity is that the reader, buying a book by OWK Publishing House, never regrets the money spent. With the help of our books, people improve their skills, become "specialists with a capital letter." That's why we say, "By buying our books, you're not spending money, you're investing profitably."

        Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation

        Passengers, pilots, publicity

        by Gordon Pirie, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        The new activity of trans-continental civil flying in the 1930s is a useful vantage point for viewing the extension of British imperial attitudes and practices. Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation examines the experiences of those (mostly men) who flew solo or with a companion (racing or for leisure), who were airline passengers (doing colonial administration, business or research), or who flew as civilian air and ground crews. For airborne elites, flying was a modern and often enviable way of managing, using and experiencing empire. On the ground, aviation was a device for asserting old empire: adventure and modernity were accompanied by supremacism. At the time, however, British civil imperial flying was presented romantically in books, magazines and exhibitions. Eighty years on, imperial flying is still remembered, reproduced and re-enacted in caricature.

        Metropolen des Geistes

        by Martin Hose, Christoph Levin

        Geist und Metropolen brauchen einander. Doch wie wird Kultur in Metropolen konstruiert? Wie werden Metropolen durch den Geist geprägt und wie der Geist durch Metropolen? Dieses Buch widmet sich den Fragen der Wechselwirkungen von Geist und Macht sowie von urbanen Zentren und ländlicher Peripherie in frühen Hochkulturen. Metropolen bilden den kulturellen Schmelztiegel, aus dem Neues erwächst. Ihre großen Bibliotheken sind der Hort der kulturellen Erinnerung. Die Zentren politischer und wirtschaftlicher Macht nähren die Kultur auch im ganz wörtlichen Sinne, indem sie die Wissenschaft und die Künste alimentieren. Der Geist wiederum macht eine Stadt erst zur »Mutterstadt« – so die originäre Bedeutung des griechischen metrópolis –, die auf ihre ökonomischen, aber vor allem auch intellektuellen Kinder ausstrahlt. In der Antike, in der der Gegensatz von Metropole und Peripherie noch viel ausgeprägter war als in der Gegenwart, läßt sich die Entwicklung besonders gut verfolgen. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes zeigen anhand der großen Städte des Altertums, von Rom bis zum chinesischen Chang’an, dem heutigen Xi’an, die gegenseitige Bedingtheit von Geist und Metropole: Wie und warum entstand das geistige Zentrum Babylon, inwiefern war die in Alexandria anzutreffende Vielfalt der Kulturen Voraussetzung für das Aufblühen der Geisteswissenschaften, unter welchen Bedingungen entstand in Jerusalem die alttestamentliche Literatur?

        My Upside Down World

        by Ken Spillman and Silvana Giraldo

        “This is a TRUE story. It’s about my world” There’s smoke in the kitchen. Dad acts normal but Mom is worried her head might explode. Even so, the biggest problem is global. You-Know-Who has been at it again and the world must be put right. Today! Big brothers are mean. Big brothers spell trouble. And Big Brothers are not to be trusted, especially if they turn your world upside down. Or is it downside up? In this book where the parallel crazy worlds with their upside-downness and downside-upness weave a fantastic, troubled, creased co-existence, nothing is what it seems like and everything is up for wonder. Ken Spillman adroitly plays around with words and situations both believable and unbelievable, while Silvana Giraldo spins a splendidly broken-but-beautiful world to bring alive an Orwellian dystopia into this picture book.
