Unseen
The fascinating psychology of blindspots, their complex causes, and the alarming consequences of looking without seeing. Can we believe our eyes? Most of us are confident that we can, but we shouldn't be so sure. Every day, we fail to see things that are right in front of us, miss sudden or unexpected changes and fall for illusions without realising it. The culprit? Blind spots. These hidden gaps in our perception are responsible for errors in operating machinery, diagnosing medical conditions, giving evidence in court and even influence how we invest our money or shop. Unseen explores the hidden corners of the human mind where perception fails, from the everyday oversights to the deep-rooted cognitive biases that shape our worldview. Lifting the lid on how our minds shape what we see, neuropsychologist David Lewis and illusionist Keelan Leyser explore the different types of blind spots, why they occur, how they can be used to manipulate our thoughts and the practical steps we can take to avoid them. What have you been missing?
Brimstone (Tündék és Alkímia 2.)
Kötelesség. Vér. Becsület. Hatalom.
Saeris Fane nem vágyott hatalomra.
Semmi örömét nem leli abban, hogy az egész udvar az ő nevét suttogja.
Sőt, most, hogy a Vér-udvar királynőjévé koronázták, rádöbben:
egy királynőnek nem lehet saját élete. Súlyos teher nehezedik a vállára.
Nevelője és öccse visszavárja őt a szülőföldjén… csakhogy azok a
változások, amelyek erősebbé tették Saerist, bizonyos szempontból
meg is gyengítették: most biztosan meghalna a két perzselő nap alatt.
Ez pedig azt jelenti, hogy ismét mást kell küldenie maga helyett…
Kingfisher hadseregeket győzött le és hátborzongató szörnyűségeket élt
túl, de a Zilvarenbe vezető út Carrion Swift oldalán talán kifog rajta.
Az a fickó egyszerűen képtelen csendben maradni. Miközben teljesíteniük
kell a küldetést, Ezüstváros szűk sikátoraiban rejtett veszélyek várnak
rájuk, és Fishernek meg kell fékeznie a csempészt is, ha újra látni akarja a párját.
Sötétség borult Yveliára. Saeris és Fisher tűzön, vízen
és kénkövön keresztül küzd, hogy megmentsék a világot.

The Protectors
Ben Greenwood is continuing his apprenticeship at the Royal Institute of Magic, hoping things will be slightly less complicated now that he has advanced to the second grade. Fat chance. Coupled with the sterner challenges that the second grade brings, there is also the small matter of the impending dark elf invasion, making life at the Institute even busier than usual. Ben is the only one who can stop them, by finding Elizabeth's Armour and its Guardians. Ben has retrieved one piece of the Armour – the boots – but the rest remain hidden. He has just one clue, which could lead to Elizabeth's Helm: an old black and white photo given to him by the Master of Apprentices. Ben must split his time between his apprenticeship and searching for the helm, before the dark elves strike and all hell breaks loose. Victor Kloss’s The Protectors is the third book in the Royal Institute of Magic series—a thrilling adventure for young readers who love fantastical stories, spellbinding worlds, and unforgettable heroes. ___________________________________________Praise for the Royal Institute of Magic series:? a cross between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson in that the characters are always on the move at a sort of breathless pace. ? … you don't have to be a magical creature to use magic. Cool. ? Wonderful Read! Not just for kids, adults will enjoy it just as much!? … a great sense of adventure, the story line never lagged, and his characters are well defined. ? It's kind of like a steam-punk version of magic…? … original with diverse characters and enough action and mystery to entertain teens to adults. ? It is honestly one of the few books that I have enjoyed as much as Harry Potter.
Cannes
In the 1970s and ’80s, the Cannes Film Festival was more than a red carpet — it was a spectacle of freedom, fame, and excess. Photographer Ole Christiansen was there, camera in hand, capturing a time when the world’s biggest stars mingled with dreamers, directors, and the beautiful chaos of the Côte d’Azur. Cannes unfolds a visual story from an era when the festival was still intimate, wild, and gloriously unfiltered. Christiansen’s lens brings us close to icons like Grace Jones, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood, and many others — not as distant celebrities, but as part of a living, breathing scene of glamour, sun, and seduction. Through rare, candid, and often daring photographs, the book celebrates a time when film, fame, and freedom collided — when the nights were long, the parties endless, and the line between cinema and life seemed to disappear in the glow of the Riviera.

Life of a Counterfeiter
'Masterfully understated prose' New York Times Book Review'A Japanese literary master' Publishers Weekly, starred reviewA master forger lives in obscurity and disappointment, oppressed by the shadow of the artist whose work he copies. A young man embarks on an investigation into his family's past, prompted by a newspaper clipping and a vague memory of a beautiful young woman.

The Eighth Life (for Brilka)
LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZEWINNER OF THE WARWICK PRIZE FOR WOMEN IN TRANSLATION“Devastatingly brilliant. . . . Poignant, heart-stopping, sublime.” —New York Times Book ReviewWar and Peace for the twenty-first century, the internationally bestselling, award-winning multigenerational epic that begins with the Russian Revolution and spans a century—a novel of war, loss, love requited and unrequited, ghosts, joy, massacres, tragedy, and hot chocolate. At the start of the twentieth century, on the edge of the Russian empire, a family prospers. It owes its success to a delicious chocolate recipe, passed down from generation to generation with great care and caution. A caution which is justified: it is a recipe for ecstasy that carries a very bitter aftertaste . . . Stasia learns it from her Georgian father and takes it north, following her new husband, Simon, to his posting in St. Petersburg, the center of the Russian Revolution. Stasia’s is only the first in a symphony of grand but all too often doomed romances that swirl from sweet to sour in this epic tale of the red century. Moving across years and vast expanses of longing and loss, each succeeding generation of this remarkable family hears echoes and sees reflections of their past. A ballet dancer’s dream of performing in Paris never comes to fruition; a singer pines for Vienna. These and other unforgettable characters engage in larger-than-life relationships that come and go and come again; their world shakes and shakes more. A grand and sweeping epic, The Eighth Life (for Brilka) is one of those glorious classic books that readers can embrace and learn, be lost and found, and make indelible new friends. Translated from the German by Charlotte Collins and Ruth Martin
