Lottie Brooks kegyetlenül kínos élete
Lottie Brooks 11 és háromnegyed éves, meggyőződése, hogy nincs már miben reménykednie - szeptemberben új iskolába fog járni, a legjobb barátnője elköltözött, és még a világtörténelem legunalmasabb barna haja is az ő fején nőtt ki. Akár fel is adhatná, és téli álomba vonulhatna hörcsögeivel, Vinnyoghy Barnabás professzorral és Harmadik Szőrgolyóval... De Lottie nem futamodik meg, az új tanévre kidolgozza a nagy tervet. Naplóírásba kezd, és fantasztikus humorral dokumentálja, hogyan válik napról napra félénk kislányból magabiztos középiskolássá. Ebben a fantasztikusan vicces, illusztrált sorozatban Lottie-val együtt élhetjük át a felnőtté válás kihívásait, tele barátsággal, kínos pillanatokkal és sok szívvel, rengeteg nevetéssel. Tökéletes választás 9-12 éves olvasóknak, akik maguk is keresik a menekülőutat a felnövés káoszából.
Megemésztő tűz
1817. Vasvári Szentkúti Karolina grófkisasszony huszonöt évesen attól retteg, hogy vénkisasszony marad. Csokonai verseinek „megemésztő tüzére” vágyik, de a valóság kiábrándító: a lángoló szerelem messzire elkerüli. Amikor megkapja a költő frissen megjelent életrajzát, benne Lilla polgári nevével, elhatározza, hogy felkeresi a múzsát. A találkozó azonban keserű csalódást okoz, és Karolina minden illúzióját lerombolja. Látva elkeseredettségét, gyermekkori legjobb barátja, a sokak által áhított gróf Szőlőssy Gergely kiutat kínál. Váratlanul megkéri a kezét. Az ajánlat látszólag nem a versekbe illő szerelemről, hanem egy biztonságos jövőről szól, aminek évtizedes barátság az alapja. Mi történik, ha két ember, aki mindent tud egymásról, hirtelen férj és feleség lesz? Vajon túlélheti a barátság a házasságot? Lehet élni megemésztő tűz nélkül?

Den D 6. 6. 1944 – Vrcholná bitva druhé světové války
"Legendární historik druhé světové války Stephen E. Ambrose v knize Den D na podkladu 1 400 ústních výpovědí mužů, kteří se v červnu roku 1944 účastnili invaze do Francie, vůbec poprvé odhaluje, že se málem muselo od složitého plánu upustit ještě předtím, než zazněl první výstřel. Pravdivá historie v autorově podání pojednává o občanech vojácích (nižších důstojnících a řadových vojácích), kteří, jakmile si uvědomili, že se ocitli ve zcela jiné situaci, než na jakou je připravovali, se na vlastní pěst chopili iniciativy, aby prolomili Hitlerův Atlantický val.
Kniha obsahuje dechberoucí popisy bojů na plážích Omaha a Utah, které vycházejí z dosud nepublikovaných informací poskytnutých americkými, britskými, kanadskými, francouzskými a německými veterány, vládními a soukromými archivy. Autor, význačný americký vojenský historik a obdivuhodný vypravěč, podává na stránkách této knihy příběh nejdůležitějšího dne v dějinách 20. století.

The Scottish Rebellion against Robert the Bruce
July of 1331 saw the gathering of a most unusual army; its billets scattered across the modest ports of Yorkshire’s eastern coast. Its purpose, the invasion of Scotland and the overthrow of the yet inchoate line of Bruce kings. This was a task monumentally disproportionate in scale to the tiny army that sought to undertake it. It was a goal which they would ultimately fail to realise, though not before experiencing some spectacular successes and forever changing the balance of power within Scottish politics. The most notable of these triumphs were the Battle of Dupplin Moor, and the better-known Battle of Halidon Hill. Such unlikely victories lent credibility to their cause, igniting another decade of war. The army was mostly English, but its masters were the disinherited sons and grandsons of what had once been the flower of Scottish knighthood, an alliance of related Scottish nobles who had been exiled from Scotland for their ongoing refusal to accept Robert Bruce’s claim to the throne. While they eagerly courted the support of the current English king, Edward III, they were no mere ciphers or puppets – their fathers and grandfathers had been amongst the fiercest proponents of Scottish freedom and independence. Edward I of England had seized upon the succession crisis that followed the death of Alexander III to insinuate himself into the centre of Scottish politics and attempt to compel the Scottish nobility into acquiescing to his claims of overlordship. Yet the following war was shaped as much by the struggle between rival Scottish dynasties as it was the imperial ambitions of successive English kings. Running parallel to the war to refute English overlordship of Scotland was an internecine conflict in which disparate factions of the Scottish nobility vied with one another to secure the throne. Both the Bruce and the Comyn family, from whom the majority of the exiles were descended, danced back and forth across the line between loyalists and collaborators in their attempts to dominate Scottish politics. The Bruces and their allies eventually triumphed in this dual struggle, but it was a victory of family and faction rather than kingdom or nation. The return of these disinherited nobles and the war they unleashed eventually re-awakened English ambitions to annex Scotland, spiralling into the Second War of Independence. This book explores the history of the families that produced these exiles, as well as their conduct in both Wars of Independence, to gain a valuable new perspective on Scotland’s historical struggle for independence and uncover the truth of the, all but forgotten, civil war that did so much to define it.
Hlenky - Krásky inteligentní
Nepatří ani k rostlinám, ani k živočichům, ba dokonce ani houby to nejsou. Už tím mnohé fascinují. Hlenky jsou zajímavé pro vědce různých oborů, ale jsou také výzvou pro domácí chovatele a makrofotografy. Přestože jsou hlenky čím dál populárnější, až doposud o nich v češtině nevyšlo souborné dílo. Kniha netradičně psaná v první osobě – „my hlenky“ – se snaží tuto mezeru zaplnit. Hlenky se tak samy představují ve své rozmanitosti a kráse. Těžištěm publikace jsou barevné makrofotografie. V krátkých textech vás hlenky provedou svým životem, inteligencí, vztahem k člověku a významem v přírodě. V neposlední řadě popisují a ukazují znaky, podle kterých může i začínající zájemce určovat běžné druhy. Pro pokročilejší pozorovatele jsou u řady druhů uvedeny také mikroznaky doplněné mikroskopickými snímky.
Stalingrad Survivor
These startling memoirs offer a rare insight into the experiences of a prisoner of war within the brutal Russian camp system. The book begins with the capture of Austrian infantryman Wolfram ‘Wolfie’ Redler amid the chaos following the fall of Stalingrad. It recounts the forced march eastwards and his transportation to Siberia during the merciless Russian winter. Stricken with typhus, he somehow manages to survive this ‘death camp’. The story continues with his transfer to a labour camp, describing in harrowing detail the deprivations endured by Redler and his comrades. That he, or anyone, was able to survive is nothing short of a miracle. Brutality, starvation, disease, and hard labour took their toll on over ninety per cent of the troops who were captured in those first few months of 1943. Translated into English for the first time, this honest and unflinching account is a stark reminder of the cruelty of war. However, the great lesson of this book is not how we die, but how we live. Despite the suffering he witnessed and endured, ‘Wolfie’ remained a man who showed everyone around him what it truly means to live.
Jeremy Bamber
In the early hours of 7 August 1985, 24-year-old Jeremy Bamber claims to have received a chilling phone call from his father. ‘Your sister’s gone berserk, and she’s got a gun’When the line went dead, Jeremy called the police. What was eventually discovered inside White House Farm shocked the nation; Nevill and June Bamber, their daughter Sheila, and her twin six-year-old sons, Daniel and Nicholas had all been shot dead with a rifle, and at first sight everything pointed towards Sheila having been the perpetrator of a murder-suicide. Within weeks though, the case took a dramatic turn and in 1986 Jeremy Bamber was convicted of murdering his family and sentenced to life in prison without any chance of release. Despite several failed attempts at appeal, decades on his dedicated team of campaigners continues to work tirelessly to clear his name. But is the evidence they claim to have uncovered cast-iron proof of his innocence, or merely a misinterpretation of the evidence proving his guil? his compelling book revisits the original investigation, trial, and the sometimes outlandish theories that have kept the case in the public eye since 1985. Jeremy Bamber - Murder and Turmoil at White House Farm examines not just the crime but the complex and ongoing fight surrounding it.
The Gloucestershire Regiment
The Gloucestershire Regiment is the most decorated in British Army history. During its 300-year history, the regiment bore more battle honours on its Colours than any other. From the deserts of North Africa to the jungles of Burma, this book will give an insight into each individual conflict, the people who fought them and the political context that made them happen. Exclusive access to 15,000 unique archival documents, including personal accounts, secret documents and private diaries gives this work an exclusivity that no other can match, providing readers with a deeper knowledge and understanding of the regiment’s history. Never heard before personal stories of exceptional bravery are uncovered, including Lieutenant Irrwin tearing down a 12ft high brick wall with his bare hands to attack the French at Toulouse, CSM Gallagher becoming a POW in both Nazi Germany and North Korea, and Captain Maunsell leading a team of sharpshooters in the Crimea. The book is written chronologically and is sectioned according to campaigns or relevant historical periods, and is a valuable reference for those wanting to learn about the history of the ‘Glorious Glosters’.
The Hula Painted Frog
**This is a story of environmental hope.****It is a story of resilience.****It is a story of… a frog.**In the 1950s, measures to control malaria led to the destruction of the Hula painted frog’s unique marshy habitat along the River Jordan in Israel. Decades passed, and after trying many times to find the frog, scientists declared the species extinct. But in 2011, the frog leaped into the scientific spotlight when it reemerged in the waters of a small nature preserve. Against all the odds, the species had managed to survive, hidden from humans for more than fifty years in the grass and mud. This delightful picture book tells the story of the frog’s miraculous return from the brink of extinction. Told from the perspective of one of the frogs, it is a heart-warming cautionary tale that will inspire children to care for and help protect the environment. Maya Gonen is an illustrator and graphic designer who prefers projects with social, environmental, or meaningful added value. She works with both traditional and digital techniques and is always happy to embark on new creative adventures.

Everest Surgeon
This is the first biography of Michael Ward (1925–2005): mountaineer, surgeon, scientist, explorer and writer. Amongst his many accomplishments, it describes – from his unique perspective – the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953, when he was expedition doctor. Before this, he instigated the 1951 Reconnaissance Expedition, which discovered the route climbers would take to Everest’s summit after poring over forgotten maps and aerial photographs. During the ground-breaking 1960–61 Himalayan Scientific and Mountaineering Expedition, he led the first ascent of the iconic Ama Dablam, notably during winter, a climb considered years ahead of its time. As an explorer, he was one of the first Europeans to travel through, and map, the remote northern regions of Bhutan, while conducting a medical survey of its inhabitants. He went on to write the first textbook on mountain medicine, which remains in print today. In 1981, just as China was opening up following its turbulent Cultural Revolution, Ward organised and led an expedition there, which made the first ascent of Mount Kongur. The following year, the Royal Geographic Society awarded him its highest honour, the Founder’s (Gold) Medal. Ward climbed with some of the legends of mountaineering: Eric Shipton, Ed Hillary, Tenzing Norgay and Chris Bonington; and this book relates many stories during his time with them. It also contains never-before published material, including Ward’s view of some controversial incidents during that history-making climb of Everest, as his widow allowed full access to his expedition diaries and his unpublished, hand-written autobiography.
The Great Tramways Conspiracy
Hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets of London to witness the royal opening of the London County Council’s first electric trams in 1903. The people loved their trams. But trams had powerful enemies. In the 1920s the tram-haters became increasingly vociferous. Articles and letters in the press condemned trams as old-fashioned and called for them to be scrapped. Over the past seven years, Mick Hamer has scoured the archives to uncover evidence of a campaign that was meant to be forever hidden. The Great Tramways Conspiracy reveals the untold story of a strategy to smear trams as obsolete and drive them off the roads. The campaign employed a propaganda technique now known as astroturfing, which gives the impression of a grassroots movement while promoting vested interests. Commonly found on social media today, a century ago, hired hacks bombarded the letters columns of newspapers to get the message across. Bankrolling this campaign were the oil companies – and lurking even deeper in the shadows were the security services, which used their propaganda expertise to provide the campaign organisers with handy hints. The incessant labelling of trams as obsolete became common currency and the mud stuck. In 1931 the Royal Commission on Transport, which was dominated by tram-hating motorists, called for trams to be scrapped. There was no pushback. The tram industry was riven by internal dissent, and the motor industry assiduously courted the malcontents. In the face of this onslaught the tram industry capitulated and the country’s tramways closed.

Stopom až na koniec sveta
Petrovi stačila jediná zmienka v televízii nato, aby sa rozhodol pre dobrodružstvo, na ktoré väčšina z nás pravdepodobne nikdy nenaberie odvahu. Bez plánu, bez istoty a s hlavou plnou snov sa tak vydáva na cestu stopom až na miesto, ktoré bolo kedysi považované za koniec sveta.
Prespáva v parkoch, pod mostami, v opustených domoch aj pri benzínkach. Prechádza neznámymi mestami a nastupuje do áut k ľuďom, ktorých zrejme už nikdy viac neuvidí. Každý kilometer ho nielenže posúva bližšie k cieľu na mape, ale aj hlbšie do vlastných myšlienok. Medzi únavou, náhodnými stretnutiami a tichom dlhých ciest sa postupne menia predstavy o slobode, o dobrodružstvách aj o tom, čo znamená „ísť ďalej“.
Toto nie je romantický príbeh o cestovaní. Je to surová výpoveď o úniku zo všednosti každodenného života, samote a hľadaní miesta, ktoré možno vôbec neexistuje.
Peter Hlad, na Instagrame známy ako @pureaspirin, je umelec a voľnomyšlienkár, ktorý spája cestovanie s autentickou tvorbou. Jeho životný štýl balansuje medzi pohybom, spontánnosťou a hľadaním vlastného priestoru mimo zaužívaných pravidiel. Vo svojej tvorbe zachytáva realitu bez príkras.
