Vesmír v hlavě / Universe in the Head
Publikace Vesmír v hlavě předkládá obraz umělecké tvorby slovenské sochařky Pavly Scerankové v posledním desetiletí. Prostřednictvím textů britské kritičky Chloe Stead a českého kurátora Jana Zálešáka je rozvrstvena do tematických kapitol, které přináší vhled do autorčina bohatého sochařského a vizuálního jazyka. Pavla Sceranková (*1980) přináší do oblasti sochařské a objektové tvorby nový autorský jazyk a výraz; novou koncepci, navazující na silný odkaz postmoderního, ale zároveň i neokonceptuálního prostorového umění. Vytváří sochařské objekty a instalace vyznačující se minimalistickou čistotou a citlivým vztahem k danému místu. Jinou polohou její tvorby je vytváření objektů, v nichž je zakomponován prvek akce, které vyzývají diváka k interakci. Někdy nabývají podoby videa, či spíše videosochy, která stojí na pomezí performance, animované sochy a autonomního videa. Vyjadřují existenciální vztah člověka k prostředí, ve kterém žije a se kterým se konfrontuje. V obsahové rovině se Pavla Sceranková intenzivně zabývá reflexí lidského vnímání, pamětí a individuálním prožíváním okolního světa. Vychází z osobního prožitku a zkoumá způsob, jak se tento prožitek uchoval v paměti, respektive jaký tvar nabyl. Autorka tematizuje fenomén vnímání, prožívání aktu vnímání, vztah vnímání ke vnímanému světu a vědomí aktu vnímání. Studovala v letech 2000–2006 na Akademii výtvarných umění v Praze, kde v roce 2011 úspěšně ukončila doktorské studium. V rámci stipendijních pobytů absolvovala roční stáž u prof. Tony Gragga v Berlíně. V letech 2010–2015 působila jako akademický pracovník na Katedře výtvarné výchovy a textilní tvorby Univerzity Hradec Králové. V současné době vede s Dušanem Zahoranským vlastní Ateliér intermediální tvorby na pražské Akademii výtvarných umění. Autorkou grafického designu je Adéla Svobodová. Kniha vychází v česko-anglické verzi.

Jethro Tull - The Broadsword And The Beast (40th Anniversary Deluxe Box) 5CD+3DVD
Jethro Tull je britská rocková skupina, ktorá reprezentuje folk-rock, progresívny rock a hard rock. Názov skupiny je odvodený od mena a priezviska anglického agronóma žijúceho na prelome 17. a 18. storočia. Skupina založená v roku 1967 dodnes koncertuje. Zloženie skupiny sa počas rokov menilo, ale pilierom, ktorý určoval jej umeleckú podobu, zostával celý čas extravagantný líder flautista Ian Anderson, ktorý ovládal niekoľko nástrojov na čele s priečnou flautou, ale aj gajdy, mandolínu a gitaru. Ian si obliekal šašovské farebné kostýmy, štylizoval sa do úlohy starca, krepčil na pódiu na jednej nohe a svojou originálnou inšpiráciou stredovekým folklórom získal rešpekt odborníkov.
14. štúdiový album Jethro Tull, „The Broadsword and the Beast“ (1982), znovu vydaný ako 40th Anniversary Deluxe „Monster“ edícia.Rozsiahla edícia „Monster Edition“ obsahuje nový stereo mix z albumu Stevena Wilsona, ktorý je známy svojimi zvukovými znalosťami.

Tri DVD zahrnuté v tejto „edícii Monster“ ponúkajú iba zvukový obsah a predstavujú stereo mixy 5.1 a hi-res z albumu a súvisiace nahrávky. Tretie DVD navyše poskytuje stereofónny a 4.1-kanálový priestorový zvuk z koncertu Live in Germany v roku 1982 s vysokým rozlíšením.

Who, The - Who's Next: Life House (50th Anniversary) CD
"The Who" je anglická rocková skupina založená v Londýne v roku 1964. Jej základnú zostavu tvorili hlavný spevák Roger Daltrey, gitarista Pete Townshend, basgitarista John Entwistle a bubeník Keith Moon. Sú považovaní za jednu z najvplyvnejších rockových kapiel 20. storočia a celosvetovo predali viac ako 100 miliónov nahrávok. Medzi ich prínosy k rockovej hudbe patrí vývoj Marshall stack, veľké systémy ozvučenia, použitie syntetizátorov, Entwistle a Moon vplyvné štýly hry, Townshendova spätná väzba a power akord gitarovej techniky a vývoj rockovej opery. Sú citovaní ako vplyv mnohých hard rockových, punkových, power popových a modových kapiel. The Who boli uvedení do Rokenrolovej siene slávy v roku 1990.
"Who's Next" je piaty štúdiový album anglickej rockovej skupiny, pôvodne vydaný v roku 1971. Album bol vyvinutý zo zrušeného projektu Lifehouse', multimediálnej rockovej opery, ktorú napísal gitarista a skladateľ Pete Townshend ako pokračovanie albumu z roku 1969. album „Tommy“. Album obsahuje klasické Who singles ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’, ‘Baba O’Riley’ a ‘Behind Blue Eyes’ a je všeobecne považovaný za najlepšiu nahrávku kapely.

Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing
The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.
'Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And
I should be dead.'
So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare.
Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . .
and so much more.
In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety.
Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

A Life on Our Planet
With a new afterword, Why You Are Here: A speech on the opening of the COP26 climate summit
As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity.
I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet contains my witness statement, and my vision for the future - the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake, and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right.
We have the opportunity to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.
All we need is the will do so.
