Seba. Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. 40th Ed.
The Cabinet of Natural Curiosities is one of the 18th century's greatest natural history achievements and remains one of the most prized natural history books of all time. Though scientists of his era often collected natural specimens for research purposes, Amsterdam-based pharmacist Albertus Seba (1665-1736) was unrivalled in his passion. His amazing collection of animals, plants and insects from all around the world gained international fame during his lifetime.
In 1731, after decades of collecting, Seba commissioned careful and often scenic illustrations of every specimen. With these meticulous drawings, he arranged for the publication of a four-volume catalog, covering the entire collection from strange and exotic plants to snakes, frogs, crocodiles, shellfish, corals, birds, and butterflies, as well as now extinct creatures.
This reproduction is taken from a rare, hand-colored original. The introduction supplies background information about the fascinating tradition of natural collections to which Seba's curiosities belonged.

Methodology of Social Sciences
The methodology of science is of a crucial importance for the building of science as a whole as well as for the forming of the different scientific branches. That is, it seeks (among other things) to find out what is the nature of the “scientific image of the world,” what is the substance of the “scientific law,” what methods and procedures could and should be used within scientific research. In the field of social sciences, these issues are also associated with the question of the nature of clarifying statements that social sciences provide. Are the statements of social sciences similar to the explanations from natural sciences, or is it rather a revelation of the meaning and understanding of social phenomena based on a clarification of the system of rules? Is social cognition by its nature a causal explanation and is it rather an interpretation? All these are questions of the methodological nature that show the way towards the answer with respect to the character of the resulting scientific statement based on the examined issues, and based on what the given scientific statement provides evidence. This publication attempts to look for the answers to these questions and to establish possible grounds for their solutions.

The Power of Ritual
Casper ter Kuile, a Harvard Divinity School fellow and cohost of the popular Harry Potter and the Sacred Text podcast, explores how we can nourish our souls by transforming common, everyday practices?yoga, reading, walking the dog?into sacred rituals that can heal our crisis of social isolation and struggle to find purpose.
“After half a decade of research and hundreds of conversations with people around the country, I am convinced we are in the midst of a paradigm shift. That what used to hold us in community no longer works, and that the spiritual offerings of yesteryear no longer help us thrive.”
–Casper ter Kuile
What do Soul Cycle, gratitude journals, and tech breaks have in common? For ter Kuile they offer rituals that create the foundation for our modern spiritual lives.
We are in crisis today. Our modern technological society has left too many of us?no matter our ages?feeling isolated and bereft of purpose. Previous frameworks for building community and finding meaning no longer support us. Yet ter Kuile reveals a hopeful new message: we might not be religious, but that doesn’t mean we are any less spiritual.
Instead, we are in the midst of a paradigm shift in which we seek belonging and meaning in secular practices. Today, we find connection in:
· CrossFit and SoulCycle, which offer a sense of belonging rooted in accountability and support much like church groups
· Harry Potter and other beloved books that offer universal lessons
· Gratitude journals, which have replaced traditional prayer
· Tech breaks, which provide mindful moments of calm
In The Power of Ritual, ter Kuile invites us to deepen these ordinary practices as intentional rituals that nurture connection and wellbeing. With wisdom and endearing wit, ter Kuile’s call for ritual is ultimately a call to heal our loss of connection to ourselves, to others, and to our spiritual identities.
The Power of Ritual reminds us that what we already do every day matters?and has the potential to become a powerful experience of reflection, sanctuary, and meaning

Delilah Green Doesn't Care
A clever and steamy queer romantic comedy about taking chances and accepting love - with all its complications. Perfect for fans of Alexandria Bellefleur, Casey McQuiston and Rosie Danan.
Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls - nothing is there for her except memories of a lonely childhood. Her life now is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it's a different woman every night, but that's just fine with her.
When Delilah's estranged stepsister pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a large check, Delilah finds herself back in Bright Falls once more. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid's stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there's some fun (and a little retribution) to be had, after all.
Having raised her daughter mostly on her own while dealing with her unreliable ex and running a bookstore, Claire depends upon a life without surprises. And Delilah Green is an unwelcome surprise . . . at first. Though they've known each other for years, they don't really know each other - so Claire is unsettled when Delilah figures out exactly what buttons to push. And when they're forced together during the many wedding preparations, Claire isn't sure she has the strength to resist Delilah's charms. Even worse, she's starting to think she doesn't want to . . .
Mad Honey
Olivia fled her abusive marriage to return to her hometown and take over the family beekeeping business when her son Asher was six. Now, impossibly, her baby is six feet tall and in his last year of high school, a kind, good-looking, popular ice hockey star with a tiny sprite of a new girlfriend.
Lily also knows what it feels like to start over - when she and her mother relocated to New Hampshire it was all about a fresh start. She and Asher couldn't help falling for each other, and Lily feels happy for the first time. But can she trust him completely?
Then Olivia gets a phone call - Lily is dead, and Asher is arrested on a charge of murder. As the case against him unfolds, she realises he has hidden more than he's shared with her. And Olivia knows firsthand that the secrets we keep reflect the past we want to leave behind - and that we rarely know the people we love well as we think we do.

Overnight Success
This is what this book brings you: you support climate protection, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because stubbornly holds the myth that success must be hard fought and earned laboriously. But life can also be simple. If you take a closer look, you will see that success can come quite quickly. Often, a certain pattern emerges: success is always the result of well researched information, well thought out considerations and the right decisions. But many people simply fail to achieve goals because they set the wrong priorities in everyday life and go through unstructured decision-making processes. Often, uncomfortable tasks in particular are postponed rather than completed immediately. We wait for the right impulse instead of simply taking action. And we often don't dare to clearly prioritize things that are important to us and to communicate this accordingly. In everyday life and in the professional world, it is extremely important to tackle and solve problems quickly. But how do you make the right decision spontaneously and under stress and time pressure? How do you obtain all the necessary information in the short time available to avoid making the wrong decision? And how can you control intuitive problem-solving and decision-making processes so that they are actually optimal and fact-based? This book helps you to organize your everyday work better, more productively and in a more structured way, so that overnight success does not remain a coincidence. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form. Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content in German and English as desired.

Desperate Remedies
CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE TIMES AND DAILY TELEGRAPH'A riveting chronicle of faulty science, false promises, arrogance, greed, and shocking disregard for the wellbeing of patients suffering from mental disorders. An eloquent, meticulously documented, clear-eyed call for change' Dirk WittenbornIn this masterful work, Andrew Scull, one of the most provocative thinkers writing about psychiatry, sheds light on its troubled historyFor more than two hundred years, disturbances of reason, cognition and emotion - the sort of things that were once called 'madness' - have been described and treated by the medical profession. Mental illness, it is said, is an illness like any other - a disorder that can treated by doctors, whose suffering can be eased, and from which patients can return.
And yet serious mental illness remains a profound mystery that is in some ways no closer to being solved than it was at the start of the twentieth century. In this clear-sighted and provocative exploration of psychiatry, acclaimed sociologist Andrew Scull traces the history of its attempts to understand and mitigate mental illness: from the age of the asylum and surgical and chemical interventions, through the rise and fall of Freud and the talking cure, and on to our own time of drug companies and antidepressants. Through it all, Scull argues, the often vain and rash attempts to come to terms with the enigma of mental disorder have frequently resulted in dire consequences for the patient.
Deeply researched and lucidly conveyed, Desperate Remedies masterfully illustrates the assumptions and theory behind the therapy, providing a definitive new account of psychiatry's and society's battle with mental illness.

We Are Bellingcat
'John le Carre demystified the intelligence services; Higgins has demystified intelligence gathering itself' Financial Times
'Uplifting . . . Riveting . . . What will fire people through these pages, gripped, is the focused, and extraordinary investigations that Bellingcat runs . . . Each runs as if the concluding chapter of a Holmesian whodunit' Telegraph
'We Are Bellingcat is Higgins's gripping account of how he reinvented reporting for the internet age . . . A manifesto for optimism in a dark age' Luke Harding, Observer
How did a collective of self-taught internet sleuths end up solving some of the biggest crimes of our time?
Bellingcat, the home-grown investigative unit, is redefining the way we think about news, politics and the digital future. Here, their founder - a high-school dropout on a kitchen laptop - tells the story of how they created a whole new category of information-gathering, galvanising citizen journalists across the globe to expose war crimes and pick apart disinformation, using just their computers.
From the downing of Malaysia Flight 17 over the Ukraine to the sourcing of weapons in the Syrian Civil War and the identification of the Salisbury poisoners, We Are Bellingcat digs deep into some of Bellingcat's most successful investigations. It explores the most cutting-edge tools for analysing data, from virtual-reality software that can build photorealistic 3D models of a crime scene, to apps that can identify exactly what time of day a photograph was taken.

Sinatra Frank - Platinum (70th Capitol Collection) 4LP
Francis Albert Sinatra (12. december 1915 – 14. máj 1998) bol americký spevák a herec. Je považovaný za jedného z najpopulárnejších zabávačov polovice 20. storočia. Sinatra patrí medzi svetovo najpredávanejších hudobných umelcov s odhadovaným predajom 150 miliónov platní. Sinatra sa narodil talianskym prisťahovalcom v Hobokene v štáte New Jersey a svoju hudobnú kariéru začal v ére swingu s kapelníkmi Harrym Jamesom a Tommym Dorseym a bol veľmi ovplyvnený intímnym, ľahko počúvateľným vokálnym štýlom Binga Crosbyho. Po podpise zmluvy s Columbia Records v roku 1943 dosiahol úspech ako sólový umelec. V roku 1946 vydal Sinatra svoj debutový album The Voice of Frank Sinatra. V roku 1983 bol Sinatra ocenený na Kennedy Center Honors. V roku 1985 mu bola udelená Prezidentská medaila slobody a v roku 1997 Zlatá medaila Kongresu. Sinatra získal jedenásť cien Grammy vrátane ceny Grammy Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award a Grammy za celoživotné dielo. Časopis Time ho zaradil do zostavy 100 najvplyvnejších ľudí 20. storočia.
Platinum oslavuje v krásnom zberateľskom sete 70. výročie podpísania zmluvy Frankom Sinatrom s Capitol Records, moment, ktorý zmenil jeho kariéru a upevnil jeho postavenie jedného z najlepších interpretačných spevákov všetkých čias. V rokoch 1953 – 1962 nahral Sinatra pre Capitol viac ako tristo piesní, z ktorých väčšina bola zaradená na prelomové „koncepčné“ albumy, na ktorých Sinatra bol priekopníkom. Je to pravdepodobne najlepšie zaznamenané dielo v populárnej hudbe.Platinum obsahuje prierez najlepších a najvyhľadávanejších Sinatrových skladieb Capitol, od swingujúcej „I've Got You Under My Skin“ a temperamentnej „Come Fly With Me“ až po úchvatnú „Moonlight In Vermont“ a melanchólia „Only The Lonely“ s mnohými vrcholmi pred, počas a po týchto klasických nahrávkach. Zahrnuté sú aj rarity trezoru, vrátane záberov, ktoré odhaľujú Sinatrovo umenie v štúdiu.

Secrets So Deep
From the author of NY Times bestselling Dark and Shallow Lies comes a darkly atmospheric paranormal thriller, dripping with secrets and mystery.
Seventeen-year-old Avril doesn't believe in ghosts, but she knows there are lots of different ways for places and people to be haunted. Twelve years ago her mother drowned at Whisper Cove. Local legend claims that the women in the waves - the ghosts from an old whaling village - called her mother into the ocean with their whispering. Because, as they say at Whisper Cove, what the sea wants, the sea will have.
Avril has spent the past twelve years trying to make sense of the strange bits and pieces she does remember from the night she lost her mother. Stars falling into the sea. A blinding light. The odd sensation of flying. Now, at seventeen, Avril is returning to Whisper Cove for the first time as part of a summer theatre camp, and she hopes she might finally discover what really happened to her mother.
As Avril becomes more involved with camp director Willa and her mysterious son Cole, Whisper Cove reveals itself to her. Distances seem to shift in the strange fog. Echos of long-past moments bounce off the marsh. And Avril keeps meeting herself - and her dead mother - late at night, at the edge of the ocean.
The truth Avril seeks is ready to be discovered. But it will come at a terrible cost . . .
