Roz és az állatok a paradicsomi szigeten tökéletes harmóniában élnek egészen addig, amíg különös, veszélyes víz nem sodródik a partokra. Az állatok a sziget belsejébe kényszerülve harcolni kezdenek a fogyatkozó erőforrásokért. Roz igyekszik megnyugtatni és segíteni az állatok életét, de a mérgező áramlat iszonyatos károkat okoz a szigeten. A robotunk tehát elindul egy óceáni expedícióra azzal a céllal, hogy megállítsa a mérgező áramlatot. Az utazásai során Roz lenyűgöző geológiai képződményeket és hihetetlen állatokat lát, miközben felméri a mérgező víz által okozott károkat. Megmentheti a vad robot az óceánt és a hőn szeretett szigetét és barátait? A harmadik A vad robot könyv új kalandokra csábítja az olvasót az óceánon át egyenesen a fagyos északi vizekre, ahol Roznak talán lehetetlen áldozatokat kell hoznia, hogy megvédje a családját és barátait.

All You Need is Love is a ground-breaking oral history of the Beatles and how it all came to an end. Based on never-before-published or heard interviews with Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and their families, friends, and business associates, this is a landmark book, containing stunning new revelations, about the biggest band the world has ever seen. In 1980-1981 former COO of Apple Corp, Peter Brown and author Steven Gaines interviewed everyone in the Beatles' inner circle and included a small portion of the transcripts in their international bestselling book The Love You Make, which spent four months on the New York Times bestseller list. But left in their archives was a treasure trove of unique and candid interviews that they chose not to publish, until now. A powerful work assembled through honest, intimate, sometimes contradictory and always fascinating testimony, All You Need is Love is a one-of-a-kind insight into the final days, weeks, months and years of the Beatles phenomenon.

A remarkable study in social and cultural change that explains how and why the late antique world (circa 150–750CE) came to differ from "classical civilization." The first century CE was one of momentous events: the end of the Roman Empire, the rise of Christianity across Western Europe, and the disappearance of Persia from the Near East. An era in which the most deep-rooted ancient institutions disappeared, creating divergent legacies that are still present today. Renowned historian Peter Brown examines these changes and the reactions to them to show that the late antiquity was an outstanding period of new beginnings with far-reaching impacts. The result is a lucid answer to a crucial question in world history: how the exceptionally homogenous Mediterranean world of the first century CE became divided into the three mutually estranged societies of the Middle Ages: Catholic Western Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic world. Brown’s remarkable study in social and cultural transformation explains how and why the late antique world came to differ from the "classical civilization" of the Greeks and Romans. Featuring a new preface and updated with color illustrations throughout, The World of Late Antiquity demonstrates that we still have much to learn from this enduring and intriguing period of history. 130 illustrations / 17 in color
