VISION OF THE WORLD IN MOZART’S OPERAS Pages: 565

Publication date: 2007

Keynote: In this 'philosophical opera-guide' the topic of the investigation is the relation between the spirit of the time and the form of a work of art as it is illustrated and accomplished in six Mozart’s operas. The world of Mozart's operas attempts to achive two goals. On the one hand it describes the mystical jump wich distinguishes the works of a genius from the average standard of its time. On the other hand it intends to characterise the relation between the 'evergreen' authenticity of Mozart’s operas and the specific circumstances of their emergence. Fodor's book makes a geniune effort to reconstruct these organic relations. It traces down the process of realisation of the Enlightenment spirit and moral sensitivity in the forms and dramatics of Mozart’s operas. He therefore offers an alternative approach as opposed to the traditional one which wants to create connections between the raw content of the work of art and its sociological-spiritual equivalent. Target market: Those intrested in music theory, the aesthetics of music.

Endre Bojtár

DREAMING HOMELAND AND PEOPLE… The Enlightenment and Romanticism in the Central and Eastern European Litearture Pages: 330

Publication date: 2008

Rights sold: Slovak

Keynote: Endre Bojtár express in his long essay the strong similarity of Eastern European literatures and the role of literature in the definition of nationality. The romantic novel is not a "real" historical novel. Then what? The leading Central and Eastern Europe also read: adventure novel. Therein lies the secret of the genre's enormous popularity: The twisty plotfulness, the unanimity and steadiness of the characters and the colorful language style. The only trouble is that, despite the many protests all of the romantic historical novel are real: most of them required reading for school, multiple set to music, adapted for the screen and cartoon, TV, radio staff work, the main shaper of our past pictures developed. And here is more serious things are at stake: the coexistence of the Central and Eastern European nations. Target market: Those interested in Central-European litarature and history of litearatre. 4

HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY OF ART AND MUSIC István Orosz

THE AMBASSADOR AND THE PHARAOH

Pages: ~ 320

In preparation

Keynote: This book was written about, or rather on the pretext of two pictures. One of them was painted by Holbein, but somebody, sometime forged his name under the other one. Once in the past they were hanging in the same hall, in the customer’s castle, who was Jean de Dienteville, a French ambassador from the 16th century. Now, they are separated by an ocean. Scholarly analysis, attempts on interpretation, literary fiction and a contemporary artist’s written and drawn notes – these constitute this book. The author, István Orosz just like Holbein, often worked on assignment. He tried several times the special portrayal techniques of paintings and the optical illusion called anamorphosis, and perhaps it is not of minor importance that he had the opportunity of living in a totalitarian dictatorship similar to that which had surrounded the German painter and the French ambassador in the royal court of Henry VIII. The reader should select according to his/her pleasure from among the several and sometimes conflicting threads, select or reject explanations, we could add in good style, indeed as the most important criterion of the anamorphosis is that appropiate viewpoint and a redeeming visual angle must be found out by the viewer.

CULTURE ONE – HUMAN SCIENCES Tihamér Margitay

THE ART OF REASONING Effective Tools of Persuasion Pages: 632

Publication date: 2007

Keynote: The book covers the analysis, the evaluation and the criticizing of reasoning and offers the participants practical guide to how to improve their judgment and critical reasoning. Reasoning has important roles to play in theoperation of organizations for two reasons: firstly, when making decisions, wechoose according to what is for and what is against certain alternatives, and secondly, we support and get across our claims by effective reasoning. Reasoning, therefore, is a tool for us to judge the situations correctly and to make good decisions. Target market: This is a perfect introduction to logic because it teaches one how to think clearly about issues that one encounters in ordinary life. At the same time, it equips the student who wants to go further in philosophy with the powerful analytic techniques appropriate to that task. There is NO CHANCE that a student who reads this book will be left wondering about the importance of logic.

Imre Trencsényi-Waldapfel

MITHOLOGY Pages: 467

Available in Czech, Polish, Russian

Keynote: The author expounds the origin, the evolution and the menaing of different myths and follows the mutual changes from the East to the West. The author Imre Trencsényi-Waldapfel was an exeptional talented literary historian, classical scolar and historian of religion. He graduated in 1932 at Hungarian–Lati– Ancient Greek chair. He wrote the Mithology expressly for the young generations. The book has peen published for several times in four languages. Beside it is a pleasurable reading for every age-group, and is an exact source of knowledge. It is no accident why we nominate the short stories about the Gods and their descendant heroes to ”myths” (even in Greek words). The system of myths – the clear scource of the European culture – unfolded in the richest way by the Greeks. The book mediates the most important Greek and Roman tales and legends. The colorful stories spiced with vivid dialogues comprise the wide range of the world of different legends, from the ideas of the origin of humanity to the tales based on real historical events. The author expounds the origin, the evolution and the menaing of different myths and follows the mutual changes from the East to the West. Target market: Those interested in litearture, religion and history. Lovers of tales and historical stories. Readers of all ages. 6

SAMPLEBOOK OF CREATIVE ORNAMENTAL ART Pages: 32

Publication date: 2007

Keynote: The creative Reader could try to produce – using the helping lines and chequered fields – ancient Meander stripes, Renaissance palmetto ornaments, baroque shell forms or Arabic net patterns. The book also guides the Reader through the important styles and periods of history of arts. We admire the ornamental richness of a Chinese porcelain vase. This is a creation of an artisan who once followed the tradition; who worked after patterns in forms and techniques. The patterns can be seen by us as s/he saw them. The ornaments can even be drawn by us. For this we have ‘only’ to be able to recognize the structure of the motives and the rules in their connections. This samplebook provides help on this. Target market: This book gives an opportunity for the Reader to become a creative artisan.

Pages: 200

Tamás Varga was one of the leading figures in mathematics education through decades, who did not believe in mathematical "tonedeafness". He made "hated mathematics" nice and attractive for many pupils just on the basis of wondering and on the desire of discovery. The competitions were organized in the spirit of his memory giving an opportunity to lower school children between 12 and 14 years of age to compare their knowledge and problem-solving abilities. The contests may turn out to be the start of a scientific career for a number of them.

Solving problems is only one part of the mathematical thinking (the other parts include creating notions, setting up theories, planning algorithms and so on), but the problem-solving skills acquired in Fazekas have proved to be fundamentally important in my practical mathematical works. Especially during solving problems in maths competitions one can acquire an ability of distinguishing promising and not so promising ideas, or that of recognizing dead ends on time and avoiding them. These volumes testify that the famous spirit of Fazekas is still very much alive and kicking, and the teachers and pupils cultivate maths with as much enthusiasm and loving care as they did when I went there. I wish the Reader many entertaining and informative hours of problem-solving! (László Lovász)

137 NUMERICAL PUZZLES Pages: 112

Publication date: 2008

Keynote: Solving a puzzle is always a pleasure to the puzzer. The world of the numbers is an interesting world. For example through a short crooked reasoning we could easily prove that every number is interesting. Theorem: Every positive integer is interesting. Proof: Let’s suppose that this statement isn’t true. Take the smallest non-interesting integer. But then it is an interesting number, because this is the smallest ’non-interesting’! We reached a contradiction. Ergo the theorem is true. We have chosen an interesting number: it is the 137. This would be the supernumber of this book for which we marked out super tasks, it just has to be found out which they are – unless otherwise through solving all of them. Why did we choose exactly this number? Well then, in the modern physics this number occures frequently. But in this book there would not be a single mentioning of modern physics, only many-many numerical puzzles.

BASIC RELATIVITY Pages: 154

Publication date: 2009

Available in English

Rights sold: Springer Verlag Keynote: Traditional presentations of relativity theory start with the introduction of Lorentz-transformations from which the peculiar phenomena of the theory time dilatation, Lorentz-contraction, the velocity addition formula, etc. follow. Lorentz-transformation is based on both the constancy of the velocity of light and Einstein-synchronization prescription, and the interrelation between these two constituents is open to the frequent misunderstanding that the constancy of the light velocity is enforced by the special synchronization of clocks rather than being the law of nature. In order to avoid this pitfall an ad hoc though rigorous presentation of the theory's observational peculiarities in Part 1 precedes the introduction of the Lorentz-transformation (and any synchronization procedure). After the introduction of these transformations in Part 2 those same relativistic effects are reconsidered this time in a systematic manner. Part 3 is devoted to the fundamentals of general relativity. Target market: Well suited for first year undergraduate students. This book really deserves the title "Basic" - it discusses the physical interpretations in a very simple mathematical context, an excellent gateway into the fascinating world of general relativity; however, it doesn't go very far, but still an excellent introduction.

VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLES IN THE FUNDAMENTAL LAWS OF PHYSICS Pages: 190

Publication date: 2010

Keynote: Alternative of Newtonian mechanics. The variational calculus deals with optimum finding problems. This approach to physics, others than the familiar Newtonian one, starts with optimum- and symmetry-principles instead of tracing back local changes in the motion to local force effects. The local view actually follows from the global optimalization. This way the basic equations of classical mechanics, optics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, relativity and quantum mechanics are treated in a unified framework; the correspondences become more conscious. Target market: MSc/MA students, physics teachers.

THE BOUNDARIES OF SCIENCE Pages: 380

Publication date: 2008

Keynote: The book starts out with the problem of science versus pseudoscience, both in the light of relevant theoretical traditions and in the framework of an everyday life practical perspective. The book starts out with the problem of science versus pseudoscience, both in the light of relevant theoretical traditions and in the framework of an everyday life practical perspective. The disciplinary treatment of the problem from the light of sociology, philosophy, and history of science is followed by five case studies – on the Intelligent-Design debate, on parapsychology, on Western astrology, on acupuncture research, and on popular pseudo-histories. The final chapters re-thematize the problem and target questions concerning the public understanding of science, expert-dependent decision processes, argumentation theory, and contemporary science studies. Target market: The targeted audience is wide, ranging from science 'professionals' (univesity teachers and students, researchers) to the 'lay' people trying to understand the social and public role of science in our world.

GALILEI – AS HE IS LIVING TODAY Pages: 410

Publication date: 2007

Keynote: This book is history and philology at the same time. It is a comment of questions and doubts about the past and present views on Galilei and his Dialogo. The material has been collected by one of the most well-known librarians in Hungary, and he added several notes too. It is a work to be enjoyed by interested laymen and the initiated of the profession alike. The main text is a readable account even for beginners, told in an entertaining style and drawing a vivid image of Galilei, both as a man and a scientist. It renders his congenial ideas and history-shaping discoveries easy to comprehend. Vekerdi with his incredible erudition critically reviews and reflects on the rich, varied and contoversial Galilei literature. His stature as an autonomous researcher is betrayed by the fact that although he has read everything and the opposite of everything, virtually all that's appeared in print on the great Italian scientist by expert historians of science. But he also avoids the other extreme whereby many researchers get drifted away, namely that of putting in a pigeonhole, classifying, rendering as the idol of some fashionable "reconstruction of the history of science" the scholar living almost four hundred years away from our times. Target market: The main text is a readable account even for beginners, told in an entertaining style and drawing a vivid image of Galilei, both as a man and a scientist. 19

CULTURE TWO – SCIENCE László Ropolyi

SHAPING THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE INTERNET Pages: 414

Publication date: 2006

Keynote: Internet philosophy, philosophy of technology and culture, communication theory. The extended use of the Internet has changed not only our corresponding, cooperating, reading, writing, learning, publishing, working, consuming and entertaining praxis, but radically reshapes the conditions of the human beings existing uniformly for thousands of years. In this process the Internet becomes the medium or substrate of a third form of human existence, of the web-life. How is it possible? What kind of properties of the Internet, what kind of characteristics of its structure, use or working makes this function possible? In this book we intend to answer these questions. Inventing and disclosing the nature of the Internet is a rather difficult task. Because of the complexity of the Internet it is necessary to consider it as a technological tool, as a communication agent, as a cultural medium and as an independent organism. In this book we try to apply all of these views together, in this way shaping a specific methodology called philosophy of the Internet, and try to apply this view to describe and analyze the very nature of the Internet. In this philosophical discourse some elements of the philosophy of technology, philosophy and theory of communication, philosophy of culture, and philosophy and theory of organization has been involved and put all of them into modern and postmodern contexts in order to show and explain the origin, the nature and the most important characteristics of the Internet. Target market: BSc students in any science course.

Right sold: Obrador Edéndum (Catalonia) Available in English, German, Czech, Bulgarian, Slovak, Romanian, Swedish, Lithuanian Keynote: This edition contains Rényi’s writings on popular science (Dialogues on Mathematics, Letters on probability, Diary on Information Theory) that had been published as separate books a long time ago. These books had drawn the attention of many later mathematicians, engineers and teachers to mathematics, influencing their scientific careers; therefore we consider a new edition very important so that a new generation can also enjoy the Art of Mathematics. Alfréd Rényi was a Hungarian mathematician who made contributions in combinatorics, graph theory, number theory but mostly in probability theory. He founded the Mathematical Institute in Budapest, now called The Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics. There are currently approximately 70 mathematicians doing research at the Institute. He is also famous for having said, „If I feel unhappy, I do mathematics to become happy. If I am happy, I do mathematics to keep happy.” 21

DO YOU THINK ITS ALL THE SAME? Dialogues on Mathematics Teaching for Teachers, Parents and Inquirers Pages: 470

Publication date: 2005

Keynote: Didactics of math, learning and teaching mathematics. Why is mathematics tought? Is any special talent needed for understanding Maths? Why is the understanding-based learning important? What are the roles of the type tasks? Can the problemsolving thinking be taught? These are not only methodological questions. The author confesses that during the teaching there is no solely correct solution. However the professional question of the pedagogy is that the teacher has to know the alternatives and has to be aware of the advantages and the disadvantages of decision. The dialogues formulating various standpoints an each different topic give useful long-term assistance mainly to teachers, but also to parents who keep their children’s mathematical development in view. Target market: Math teachers and interested parents.

SPACE IS THE FUTURE OF MANKIND Ideas on the Future of Mankind, on Space, on Cosmic Effects and Connections Pages: 350

Publication date: 2007

Keynote: Fifty years after the start of the space age it becomes more and more obvious that the future of mankind is inseparable from space – therefore it is even today an important task to survey the dangers coming from our cosmic environment on the one hand, and the prospects of spaceflight on the other. Here are some of the arising questions: • What hinders at present the expansion of mankind in space above all? • Does the increase of space debris endanger travel into space? • May the space elevator or the evolution of space tourism help in the accomplishment of future steps? • Does the planned NASA lunar and Martian exploration program represent a real perspective? • Should mankind abandon the Earth escaping from threatening asteroids or comets? • Do real plans already exist to terraform other celestial bodies or to build habitats in space? All this leads to some fundamental questions of the relation between our future and the Universe: as seen at present by a space research expert and a futures research expert – i.e. some in the same way, but some differently. It is an exciting reading to everybody, who has an interest in the future of mankind and its technology, and at the same time feeling the significance of moral problems as well. Dr. Almár won the Giordano Bruno Memorial Award in 2008 for technical excellence in the service of SETI 22

CHERNOBYL – FACTS, CAUSES, BELIEFS Pages: 240

Publication date: 2009

Keynote: Chernobyl ... Since twenty years, this small Ukrainian town has become a symbol, an issue for specialists, politicians, and the broadest public kept in uncertainty. The events happened there will probably become part of universal history like the distraction of Pompeii and the tragedy of Hiroshima. The authors of this book are specialists and not journalists. They explain in plain language the constructional problems of the Chernobyl-type power plants, the course of the severe accident, as well as the technical, social, and political causes leading to it. They summarize the geographical distribution of the emitted radioactive substances and their health effects. They discuss the contradictions of the public information available in the media at present and during the months following the accident. Both the media and the specialists are blamed for the many misunderstandings and false concepts concerning Chernobyl. The book is completed by a summary of the reactor accidents of the past.

Balázs Bodó

Publication date: 2011

In preparation.

Keywords: copyright, piracy, intellectual property, informal media markets, social history, printing, communications history, peer-to-peer, file-sharing. This book uncovers the role of copyright piracy in various cultural ecosystems from the 17th century England to 21st century Hungary in order to understand current file-sharing piracy. Unlike current discourse on piracy, this work addresses (peer-to-peer) piracy not as a legal problem, nor as an economic plague, but rather as a social phenomenon that is neither new, nor exceptional in the development of cultural markets. The longer historical lens detailed in the book suggests that the current crisis of copyright, piracy, and enforcement has much in common with earlier periods of technological change and conflict among cultural producers. The book argues that piracy is not just a drain on the cultural economy, but a powerful productive force whose legacy in social relations will stay with us long after the economic conditions that called it into being – and the power vacuum that enabled it – have passed. The texts offers answers for the following questions: who were branded as pirates in the history of print capitalism? What common characteristics they share across different times and places? What was their role in local markets? What factors caused their appearance? What factors sustained their existence? What factors led to their extinctions, if any? The book discusses these questions in a social history framework. Target groups: intellectual property experts, professionals working on the cultural industries and media, policymakers, academics, non-professional, semi professional culture producers, everyday file-sharers 23

THE NATURE OF VIRTUE Altruism, Cooperation, Generosity Pages: 315

Publication date: 2009

Keywords: Evolutionary psichology. One of the key questions in the various branches of psychology is why individuals help unrelated people without the possibility of return. Obviously, helping unfamiliar people results from a particular combination of innate inclinations, personality traits, socialization effects, and environmental conditions. The book – partly on the basis of the author’s own research – makes an attempt to show the main motives and circumstances that may lead to cooperation, altruism and generosity. For supporting his notion of altruism and generosity, the author deploys empirical studies from a wide range of sciences: genetics, evolutionary biology, anthropology, social psychology, economics. Target market: Those intrested in cogntive psichology, evolutionary biology and social anthropology.

THE ETHERNAL TOPICS OF PSYCHOLOGY Pages: 410

Publication date: 2008

Keynote: This book is a cross-sectional history of psychology. It basically covers the issues how the image of man was formed in modern psychology. How is this related to our folk psychological image, the way we interpret other humans as feeling and knowing beings. This slightly unorthodox history of psychology is unorthodox in two ways. Its starting pint is the naive image of man, and treats scientific psychology as a constant dialogue between our everyday conception and the scientific conception. On the other hand, rather than taking a longitudinal historical perspective, it is organized in a cross-sectional manner. It takes the different key topics and surveys them over the history of modern psychology. A returning issue of the anthropomorphism and the teleological way of talk about human actions, and their relationship to causal explanations. The book presents psychology as a central human science. Relationships between naive and scientific psychology are treated in the fareme of characteristic pairs. Such pairs as body and mind, man and beast, nature and nurture, parts and wholes, knowing and feeling, individual and society, conscious and unconscuo,s normal ana pathological. The historical and conceptual introduction also highlights the crucial issues of present day psychology. It is an introductory textbook for those taking a psychology intro class. Target market: It is an introductory textbook for those taking a psychology intro class. BSc students in any department. 24

PHILOSOPHY BEFORE PHILOSOPHY Symbolic Thinking in Ancient Egypt Pages: 340

Publication date: 2007

Keynote: Philosophy, ancient history, Egyptology. Through a wide-ranging analysis and study of the intellectual heritage of the archaic culture before Hellenism, Philosophy before philosophy tries to reveal the earliest seeds of philosophy and philosophical thinking. Considering the rather astonishing cosmological, theological or ontological speculation of the Egyptians, the following questions arise: Does it make any sense to discuss ancient Egyptian philosophy? Existed a philosophy before Hellenism at all? Or: Can we talk about philosophy in an archaic culture beyond Europe? Despite of the examination of questions of culture-historical point of origin, this is not a culture-historical work. Since the intellectual improve¬ment was interlinked with picture symbolics in Egypt, the complex system of symbols – the hieroglyphic writing – basically determined the culture. The example of Egypt seems to support the statement, that pictures are able to reflect ideas without having direct reference to the sounds of spoken language: this is why the book ends up with the natural history of symbols. Target market: Those interested in history of religion and philosophy. Lovers of Egyptology. Readers of all ages.

HISTORIES AND LANGUAGES OF THE HUNGARIAN PAST In preparation.

Keynote: history of Estern Europe, nomadic Turkic Empires, Hungarian history, Huns, language families, history of linguistics, Hungarian Hun-tradition. Linguists have no doubt that Hungarian belongs to the Uralic languages, however, many Hungarians believe that Hungarians are descendents of the Huns. The first chapters of the book explain how the idea of language families had evolved, as well as the main methods of comparative historical linguistics. Hungarian history had a strong connection with nomadic Turkic people in the 6-9th centuries, and was held a Turkic ethnic group by Greek, Arab and Slavic sources. The book introduces the history of Eastern Europe in the 4-10th centuries, focusing on the nomadic Turkic Empires, the cultural features of Eurasian nomadism, and the historical-cultural envirenment in which the Hungarian tribes had been formed to a strong ethnic group with a common name, ethnic identity, and remarkable military power. Then this book aims to show how the Hun-tradition had been developed since the 13th century when it was created by a Hungarian historaian, Simon de Keza, how it had become deeply embedded into the hitorical thinking in the age of Humanism, and how it had spread in the Hungarian literature afterwards.
