From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behaviour of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass in the street outside.

Pink Floyd - Behind The Wall
A Pink Floyd, ahogy korábban még soha nem láthattuk!
A rocktörténet közel fél évszázadát felölelő Pink Floyd: Behind the Wall bemutatja a világ legnépszerűbb pszichedelikus együttesének drámai és izgalmas történetét. A Pink Floyd első átfogó, illusztrált krónikájában tanúi lehetünk a korai cambridge-i szárnypróbálgatásaiknak, átélhetjük, ahogy Syd Barrett dalszövegeket ír, ahogy elkészül a Dark Side of the Moon stúdióanyaga, de annak is, ahogy összekülönböznek egymással a zenekar tagjai.
Fedezzük fel a dalok mögött rejlő titkokat, ismerjük meg a legendás fényshow-k és színpadi technika fejlődését, a metsző vitákat és még sok érdekes kulisszatitkot. A teljes diszkográfia mellett a könyvben több mint 200 képet találunk Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Rick Wright és Nick Mason fellépéseiről, közöttük ritka koncertfotókat, de a koncerttermeken kívüli életük őszinte dokumentumait is. A Pink Floyd: Behind the Wall betekintést enged az olvasónak az egyik valaha is színpadra lépő legforradalmibb együttes titkokkal teli életébe.
A Descent into the Maelström
Inspired by the Moskstraumen, it is couched as a story within a story, a tale told at the summit of a mountain climb. The story is told by an old man who reveals that he only appears old - "You suppose me a very old man," he says, "but I am not. It took less than a single day to change these hairs from a jetty black to white, to weaken my limbs, and to unstring my nerves." The narrator, convinced by the power of the whirlpools he sees in the ocean beyond, is then told of the "old" man's fishing trip with his two brothers a few years ago.

The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry
Reflecting the voices of poets, soldiers, the families they left behind and their comrades who would never return, The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry, previously published as In Flanders Fields, is edited with an introduction by George Walter in Penguin Classics.
Unrivalled for its range and intensity, the poetry of the First World War continues to have a powerful effect on readers. This anthology reflects the diverse experience of those who lived through the war - bringing together the words of poets, soldiers and civilians affected by the conflict. Including famous verses from Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen; pieces by less well-known writers such as Gilbert Frankau and Osbert Sitwell; works by women describing the emotions of those at home; and the anonymous lyrics of soldiers' songs, The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry offers a blend of voices that is both unique and profoundly moving.
This collection has been arranged thematically, moving through the war's different stages from conscription through to its aftermath, to offer the reader a variety of perspectives on the same common experiences. George Walter's introduction discusses the role and scope of First World War poetry anthologies, and how the canon has changed over the years. This edition also contains notes and biographies.
George Walter is Lecturer in English at Sussex University. His research interests are 20th-century literature; madness and creativity; constructions of Englishness; the cultural impact of the First World War. He has edited editions of the poet Ivor Gurney's work for Everyman and Fyfield Books.

Planting The World: Joseph Banks And His Collectors
A bold new history of how botany and global plant collecting - centred at Kew Gardens and driven by Joseph Banks - transformed the earth.
Botany was the darling and the powerhouse of the eighteenth century. As European ships ventured across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans, discovery bloomed. Bounties of new plants were brought back, and their arrival meant much more than improved flowerbeds - it offered a new scientific frontier that would transform Europe's industry, medicine, eating and drinking habits, and even fashion.
Joseph Banks was the dynamo for this momentous change. As botanist for James Cook's great voyage to the South Pacific on the Endeavour, Banks collected plants on a vast scale, armed with the vision - as a child of the Enlightenment - that to travel physically was to advance intellectually. His thinking was as intrepid as Cook's seafaring: he commissioned radically influential and physically daring expeditions such as those of Francis Masson to the Cape Colony, George Staunton to China, George Caley to Australia, William Bligh to Tahiti and Jamaica, among many others.
Jordan Goodman's epic history follows these high seas adventurers and their influence in Europe, as well as taking us back to the early years of Kew Gardens, which Banks developed devotedly across the course of his life, transforming it into one of the world's largest and most diverse botanical gardens.
In a rip-roaring global expedition, based on original sources in many languages, Goodman gives a momentous history of how the discoveries made by Banks and his collectors advanced scientific understanding around the world.
