This book convenes a selection of 200 mathematical puzzles with original solutions, all celebrating the inquisitive and inspiring spirit of Nobuyuki “Nob” Yoshigahara – a legend in the worldwide community of mathematical and mechanical puzzles. A graduate from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Yoshigahara invented numerous mechanical puzzles and published over 80 puzzle books. In 2003, he was honored with the Sam Loyd Award, given by the Association for Games & Puzzles International to individuals who have been made a significant contribution to the world of mechanical puzzles. In this work, the reader will find some of the most ingenious puzzles ever created, organized in ten categories: Logic, matchstick, maze, algorithmic, combinatorial, digital, number, geometric, dissection, and others. Some of them could rivalry with those found at Mathematical Olympiads tests around the globe; others will work as powerful brain teasers for those with an interest in problem-solving. Math teachers, curious students of any age and even experienced mathematicians with a taste for the fun in science can find in this book unconventional paths to develop their problem-solving skills in a creative way.

The monograph Iz kaosa kozmos (From Chaos to Cosmos) and the first two books from the Poezija konteksta (Poetry of Context) series explore the poetry created during the period of the Slovenian resistance movement and the related revolution during the Second World War (1941-1945). The third and fourth book analyze the poetry created by Slovenians who in the Second World War were forcefully drafted into the German army~Slovenians who lived in the period of the Italian occupation of the Slovenian territory under the 1920 Treaty of Rapallo~and those who were mobilized into the Italian army during WWII. Monografija Iz kaosa kozmos in prvi dve knjigi iz zbirke Poezija konteksta so posvečene pesnjenju v okviru slovenskega odporniškega gibanja in z njim povezane revolucije v drugi svetovni vojni 1941–1945. Drugi dve zajemata pesnjenje slovenskih prisilnih mobilizirancev v nemško vojsko v drugi svetovni vojni od 1941 do 1945 in pesnjenje Slovencev od italijanske zasedbe slovenskega ozemlja po rapalski pogodbi leta 1920 in slovenskih mobilizirancev v italijansko vojsko v drugi svetovni vojni 1941–1943.Tukajšnja peta knjiga obravnava pesnjenje v okviru različnih skupin, ki se niso strinjale z Osvobodilno fronto in so delovale mimo nje ali proti njej. Uvodoma nakazuje stičišča med obema medvojnima taboroma. Navedeni primeri snovnega prevzemanja so kljub deklarativnemu raz-ločevanju in najhujšemu nasprotovanju njihovih nosilcev dokaz, da so bile vojna resničnost in usode posameznikov v njej veliko bolj življenjsko prepletene in povezane, kot se to dá dojeti iz dnevnih parol in enostranskih izjav.

Inspiring popular video games like Tetris while contributing to the study of combinatorial geometry and tiling theory, polyominoes have continued to spark interest ever since their inventor, Solomon Golomb, introduced them to puzzle enthusiasts several decades ago. In this fully revised and expanded edition of his landmark book, the author takes a new generation of readers on a mathematical journey into the world of the deceptively simple polyomino. Golomb incorporates important, recent developments, and poses problems, inviting the reader to play with and develop an understanding of the extraordinary properties of polyominoes.

Spomenik revolucije Draga Tršarja dobiva s pričujočo knjižico prvo temeljito umetnostnozgodovinsko analizo in interpretacijo. Na podlagi dostopnih virov nam avtor pronicljivo razkriva zgodbo natečaja za spomenik in nastajanja te moderne javne plastike ter njen ikonografski okvir. V obdobjih, kot so bila 60. leta in kot je današnji čas, je takšnim naročilom le redko mogoče prerasti ideološke meje in nagovoriti predvsem s svojo izvirno likovno kvaliteto. Tršarjev spomenik revolucije, ki je našel svoj prostor v zavetju dreves na nekdanjem uršulinskem vrtu, je eden takšnih.

The book Glasba, politika, afekt: novo življenje partizanskih pesmi v Sloveniji ('Music, Politics, Affect: New Lives of Partisan Songs in Slovenia') explores the potentialities of music in imagining alternatives and establishing alliances, which introduce new senses of belonging and solidarity in global neoliberal capitalism. It examines the reactualization of partisan songs in post-Yugoslav Slovenia with an emphasis on the collective spirit, its rebelliousness and emancipatory potential. In researching the “new lives” of partisan songs, the book focuses on the self-organized female choir Kombinat, an emblematic example of thinking about the partisan art in Slovenia today. Just a part of Kombinat repertoire, partisan songs are discursively, sonically, spatially, ideologically and symbolically reloaded, challenging thus the various boundaries in thinking about this legacy in Slovenian context. Using theoretical framework of affect theory, and particularly theories of music materialism and sonic affect, the book provides an alternative perspective to our understanding of political capacity of music. It addresses four main issues: the role of music and sound in political mobilization and participation, the potentials of musical alliances and musical self-organization and self-education, referencing musical past as a way of political engagement, and finally, revitalization and reactualization of socialist ideas and values in the current moment of global transition. Ali gre pri petju partizanskih pesmi danes za čisti nostalgični eskapizem? Ali je zborovsko petje res preživeta glasbena dejavnost? Ali je skupinsko petje kot primer družbenosti glasbe v pravem pomenu besede še vedno zmožno družbene kritike? Zakaj se določene glasbene prakse štejejo kot bolj učinkoviti dejavniki mobilizacije estetske izkušnje v političnem boju? Kakšno (zvočno) moč ima glasba v globalnem neoliberalnem kapitalizmu? Knjiga Glasba, politika, afekt: novo življenje partizanskih pesmi v Sloveniji ponuja premislek o osrednjih vprašanjih, ki se nanašajo na politični potencial glasbe in zvoka v postjugoslovanski Sloveniji, zaznamovani z okoliščinami globalnega kapitalizma. Cilj knjige je premislek o vlogi glasbe in zvoka v politični mobilizaciji in participaciji, o potencialu glasbenih dejavnosti pri samoorganiziranju, o izzivih in potencialih tako imenovanih glasbenih kolektivitet ter o sklicevanju na glasbeno preteklost kot načinu političnega angažmaja. Knjiga izziva obstoječe diskurze o političnosti glasbe v postjugoslovanskem kontekstu ter dihotomije med političnim in nostalgičnim, komercialnim in angažiranim ter eskapističnim in emancipacijskim.
