The Carbon Almanac
When it comes to the climate, we don't need more marketing or anxiety. We need established facts and a plan for collective action.
The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics.
The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and leaders that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. With thousands of data points, articles and charts explaining carbon's impact on everything in our society, from our the economy to extreme weather events, it is the definitive source for facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change.
This book isn't what the oil companies, marketers, activists, or politicians want you to believe. This is what's really happening, right now. Our planet is in trouble, and no one concerned group, corporation, country, or hemisphere can
address this on its own. We are in this together. And it's not too late for concerted, collective action for change.

The Conservatory
Elegant and magnificent, conservatories reveal fascinating social, cultural, botanical, and engineering advances as they have evolved across history. First appearing in the eighteenth century as simple structures designed to protect fruit trees and other delicate plants from harsh European winters, conservatories became grand glass houses that spread across the European continent, to the Americas, and ultimately around the world.
Through evocative archival and contemporary photographs, drawings of landmark structures, and graceful, accessible text, The Conservatory celebrates the patrons and designers who advanced the technology and architectural majesty of these light-filled structures. The importance of conservatories continues to grow with efforts to conserve phenomenal plants and their environments.

What the River Knows
The first in a crossover historical fantasy duology from the author of Woven in Moonlight, set in the glittering society of 19th century Egypt, as feisty Inez fights the restrictions of her time to discover what happened to her missing parents.
A divine exploration. A deadly secret. A desire she can't escape.
The Mummy meets Death on the Nile in this lush, immersive historical fantasy set in 19th century Egypt, filled with adventure, a rivals-to-lovers romance, and a dangerous race.
Bolivian-Argentinian Inez Olivera belongs to the glittering upper society of nineteenth century Buenos Aires, and like the rest of the world, the town is steeped in old world magic that's been largely left behind or forgotten. Inez has everything a girl might want, except for the one thing she yearns for the most: her globetrotting parents - who frequently leave her behind when they venture off on their exploring adventures.
When she receives word of their tragic deaths, Inez inherits their massive fortune and a mysterious guardian, an archaeologist in partnership with his Egyptian brother-in-law. Yearning for answers, Inez sails to Cairo, bringing her sketch pads and an ancient golden ring her father sent to her for safekeeping before he died. But upon her arrival, the old world magic tethered to the ring pulls her down a path where she soon discovers there's more to her parent's disappearance than what her guardian led her to believe.
With her guardian's infuriatingly handsome assistant thwarting her at every turn, Inez must rely on ancient magic to uncover the truth about her parent's disappearance-or risk becoming a pawn in a larger game that will kill her.
Beyond the Story: Příběh 10 let BTS
BTS poprvé vykročili do světa 13. června 2013. A letos, v červnu 2023, oslavili už 10. výročí svého debutu. Za svými dosavadními kroky se ohlížejí v první oficiální knize – dnes už jako ikoničtí světoví umělci, kteří se dostali až na vrchol. To jim dává novou sílu vytvářet světlejší zítřky a udělat další krok na cestě, po které před nimi ještě nikdo nešel.
V rozhovorech a podrobném portrétu BTS sdílejí osobní příběhy ze zákulisí své cesty. Myeongseok Kang, který o k-popu a dalších oblastech korejské popkultury psal pro různá média, pracoval na knize více než tři roky.
Výrazné hlasy členů a jejich názory, prezentované chronologicky v sedmi kapitolách – od debutu až po současnost –, společně vytvářejí upřímný a hluboký příběh plný života. V jednotlivých rozhovorech, které se uskutečnily bez použití kamer nebo jakéhokoliv líčení, přibližují svou hudební dráhu z několika úhlů pohledu a přemýšlejí o jejím významu.
Knihu navíc doplňují portrétní fotografie, které zachycují BTS jako jednotlivce i jako skupinu. Kniha také obsahuje koncepční fotografie, seznamy skladeb všech alb a více než 330 QR kódů. BTS jako digitální umělci komunikují se světem pomocí internetu. I tato kniha umožňuje čtenářům okamžitý přístup k trailerům, videoklipům a dalším materiálům, díky nimž získají bohatý přehled o všech klíčových momentech z historie skupiny. Kniha Beyond the Story, doplněná časovou osou se všemi důležitými milníky, je tak pozoruhodným archivem – skutečně vším o BTS v jednom jediném svazku.

But his city boils with conspiracy and rebellion, fuelled by rumours he is causing magic to fade from the word. Now Kosika, a child Antari, sits on the throne of White London. The new queen leads her people in new rituals of sacrifice and blood in devotion to the altar of Holland Vosijk, summoning vast power she may not be able to control. Now Lila and Kell, living free on the waves, are charged by the captain of the Floating Market to retrieve an immensely powerful artefact, stolen by secretive forces. Now Tes, a young woman with a knack for fixing broken things, is thrust into the affairs of Antari and kings, traitors and thieves. And only her unique powers can weave the threads of power together.
A triumphant return to the worlds of The Shades of Magic, The Fragile Threads of Power continues the stories of fan-favourite characters Kell, Lila, Rhy and Alucard, and introduces a new generation of magic, shadows and embers in the dark.
Adam & The Ants - Original Album Classics 3CD
"Adam and the Ants" bola anglická rocková skupina, ktorá vznikla v Londýne v roku 1977. Skupina existovala v dvoch verziách, pričom obe boli na čele s Adamom Antom v rokoch 1977 až 1982.Prvá fáza začala, keď bola kapela založená v máji 1977 a do novembra toho roku sa volala The Ants. Neskôr zmenili svoj štýl z punk rocku na post-punk a novú vlnu a vydali jeden album “ Dirk Wears White Sox“. Finálnu zostavu tejto verzie tvorili Dave Barbarossa, Matthew Ashman a Leigh Gorman – všetci opustili kapelu v januári 1980 na návrh manažéra Malcolma McLarena, aby vytvorili Bow Wow Wow. Druhá verzia Adam and the Ants zahŕňala gitaristu Marca Pirroniho a bubeníka a producenta Chrisa Hughesa a bola známa používaním bubnov Burundi. Táto skupina existovala od februára 1980 do marca 1982 a dosiahla veľký komerčný úspech vo Veľkej Británii. S ich hudobnými videami, ktoré vysielajú na MTVsú v Spojených štátoch spájaní s druhou britskou inváziou.

The Severed Empire Collection
All four books in Phillip Tomasso's 'The Severed Empire', a series of epic fantasy novels, now in one volume!
Wizard's Rise: For over two hundred years, the Rye Empire outlawed the use of magic. Now, the empire has fallen, and a new, sinister power is rising. Ambitious and corrupt, The Mountain King will stop at nothing to reach his goals. To save the Old Empire from his evil magic, seventeen-year-old farm boy Mykal and his friends begin a desperate journey to collect crucially important talismans before the Mountain King. But a war is coming, and their time is running out. And if they fail, a terrible darkness will steal the light from the Grey Ashland Realm... forever.
Wizard's War: To stop the Mountain King, the realms across land and sea must unify. But time is not on their side. Mykal and his friends must warn King Nabal of the Mountain King's invasion of Grey Ashland. Magic has become the weapon of choice in war, and Mykal is still unsure of his abilities as a wizard. His skill and resolve will soon be put to the test, as the flames of war threaten to engulf them all.
Queens Of Osiris: After women start going missing from the kingdom, Hermon Cordillera’s daughters are unable to find whoever is responsible for the growing number of abductions. Meanwhile, Mykal - the young wizard - continues honing his magical skills with his mother, and his tactical training with Blodwyn, his oldest friend. Tasked with unravelling the mystery of the disappeared women, they soon realize they're ill-prepared for the untold dangers that await them. This time, they will need more than Mykal's magic to survive.
Assassin's Promise: When Blodwyn was a young boy, the King's Watch combed the lands in search of wizards, witches and anyone else practicing magic. Left an orphan because of this, Blodwyn's plan is simple: learn everything he can about killing, and track down the Watch. Working his way towards revenge with the dangerous assassin, Rasheed, Blodwyn soon faces a decision what will change his life forever.

The Little Prince
Antoine de Saint-Exupery's timeless tale, reissued in a beautiful clothbound edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery first published The Little Prince in 1943, only a year before his plane vanished over the Mediterranean during a reconnaissance mission. Nearly eighty years later, this fable of love and loneliness has lost none of its power.
The narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. "In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don't dare disobey," the narrator recalls. "Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket." And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator's imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.
