A Good and Dignified Life
Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) and Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) were critical Jewish mavericks who both suffered under violent political regimes and sought to reform systems of power. Although temporally separated by the Second World War and the rise of totalitarianism, they held in common strikingly similar convictions about freedom, human dignity, capitalism, democracy, and political commitment.
In this powerful book, Joke J. Hermsen explores the lives and works of these two remarkable thinkers and the essential hope that emboldened them in the political struggle. Luxemburg and Arendt were spurred on by a restless love for the world and an unwavering belief in the possibility of new beginnings; for them, hope was an absolute prerequisite of resistance and a counterpoint to melancholy-a defense against despair that kept them attuned to what could be.
Exploring the intertwined nature of philosophy and the active pursuit of justice, this is an urgent, courageous reminder to remain alert to the glimmers of hope in dark times.
The Life and Adventures of Sir Launcelot Greaves
The Life and Adventures of Sir Launcelot Greaves, a novel by Tobias Smollett, was published in 1760 in the monthly paper The British Magazine. Its first number, published in January, 1760, contained the first instalment of Smollett’s fourth novel.Sir Launcelot is an eighteenth century gentleman who rides about the country in armour, attended by his comic squire, Timothy Crabshaw, redressing grievances. These characters are obviously inspired by Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, and Smollett's novel has been compared unfavorably with Cervantes'.

Rolling Stones, The - Black And Blue (Japanese SHM Limited-Edition Reissue) CD
"The Rolling Stones" je anglická rocková skupina založená v Londýne v roku 1962. Aktívna už viac ako šesť desaťročí, je jednou z najpopulárnejších a najtrvalejších kapiel rockovej éry. Začiatkom 60. rokov boli Rolling Stones priekopníkmi drsného, rytmicky riadeného zvuku, ktorý definoval hard rock. Ich prvú stabilnú zostavu tvorili spevák Mick Jagger, multiinštrumentalista Brian Jones, gitarista Keith Richards, basgitarista Bill Wyman a bubeník Charlie Watts. Počas ich formovania bol Jones hlavným lídrom: zostavil skupinu, pomenoval ju a riadil jej zvuk a imidž. Po tom, čo sa v roku 1963 stal manažérom skupiny Andrew Loog Oldham, povzbudil ich, aby napísali svoje vlastné piesne. Jagger a Richards sa stali primárnou tvorivou silou kapely, čím odcudzili Jonesa, ktorý si vyvinul drogovú závislosť, ktorá zasahovala do jeho schopnosti zmysluplne prispievať. "The Rolling Stones" majú odhadovaný predaj nahrávok na úrovni 200 miliónov, čo z nich robí jedného z najpredávanejších hudobných umelcov všetkých čias. Kapela získala tri ceny Grammy a cenu Grammy za celoživotné dielo. V roku 1989 ich uviedli do Rokenrolovej siene slávy a v roku 2004 do Britskej hudobnej siene slávy. Časopis Billboard a Rolling Stone zaradili skupinu medzi jednu z najväčších všetkých čias.
Prvýkrát sú albumy v japonskej verzii SHM-CD, ktorá využíva mono mix, v limitovanej edícii dostupné mimo Japonska! SHM CD je CD najvyššej kvality, kompatibilné so všetkými CD prehrávačmi. SHM-CD používa polykarbonátový materiál pôvodne vyvinutý pre LCD displeje a zvýšená priehľadnosť SHM-CD sa premieta do väčšej čistoty, hĺbky a definície zvuku, čím sa poslucháč dostáva stále bližšie k hudbe z pôvodnej predlohy.

Van life - Život na kolech
Stovky funky vozidel, úžasná krajina a chytře navržené interiéry dodávek z celého světa. Van Life je ideální pro ty, kteří vědí, že život je tam, kde zaparkuješ. Stále více lidí se vzdává konvenčního života a mění ho za svobodu, klid a dobrodružství. Žijí na silnici v přestavěném autobusu, kamionu nebo dodávce. Jeden z těchto dobrodruhů Foster Huntington sdílel svá dobrodružství pod hashtagem #vanlife a zaznamenal je na svém blogu.
Zapojil se do společenství lidí s podobnými názory, kteří chtějí zkoumat přírodu svým vlastním tempem a žít bez dluhů. V knize najdete nejkrásnější fotografie z Fosterova blogu seřazené do kapitol, jako jsou dodávky Volkswagen, americké dodávky, přestavěné dodávky, školní autobusy a další. Stovky fotografií zahrnují záběry unikátních vozidel, krásné lokality, ohromující pláže, dramatické hory a malebné lesy, ale také interiéry dodávek. V knize také najdete rozhovory s dobrodruhy, páry či rodinami, kteří žijí tento nový "americký sen".
„Doufám, že fotky, příběhy a rozhovory v této knize ve vás zažeh-nou plamen cestovatelské vášně, nebo vás inspirují k nějaké cestě, případně rovnou způsobí změnu životního stylu. Jak kdysi řekl Mark Twain: „Cestování zabíjí předsudky, dogmatismus a úzkoprsost – a mnoho lidí jej proto potřebuje jako sůl.“ Bezvýhradně s ním souhlasím. Nejlepší chvíle svého života jsem prožil za volantem své dodávky, když jsem hledal místo k přenocování, abych ráno celý nedočkavý s východem slunce vstal a vydal se znovu na cestu.“ - Foster Huntington

Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor
Thor's hammer is missing again. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of misplacing his weapon - the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. But this time the hammer isn't just lost, it has fallen into enemy hands. If Magnus Chase and his friends can't retrieve the hammer quickly, the mortal worlds will be defenseless against an onslaught of giants. Ragnarok will begin. The Nine Worlds will burn. Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer's return is the gods' worst enemy, Loki - and the price he wants is very high.
The King: The Life of Charles III
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen comes a vivid and unsparing yet sympathetic portrait of one of the most complex and enigmatic figures of our time: Charles, who has taken his place on the throne after being the oldest and longest-serving heir in British history.
Since the day Charles Philip Arthur George was born, he has been groomed to be King. After more than seventy years of waiting, he finally ascends the throne.
The King examines the private life of this historically important and controversial figure, set against the grand, thousand-year sweep of the British monarchy. This richly detailed biography covers it all, from his military training to his marriage to Lady Diana, through their separation and her tragic death to his marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles. In the process, it provides a balanced but fully honest look into the life of the new monarch. This book will tell you what the King-a man who has remained something of an enigma, shrouded in speculation and intrigue-is really like.
The King is the first biography of Charles since he has become monarch and serves as an authoritative chronicle of his life.

Black Crowes, The - The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion LP
The Black Crowes je americká rocková skupina založená v Atlante v štáte Georgia v roku 1984. Ich diskografia obsahuje osem štúdiových albumov, štyri živé albumy a niekoľko hitparádových singlov. V roku 1989 skupina podpísala zmluvu s Def American Recordings s producentom Georgeom Drakouliasom a nasledujúci rok vydala svoj debutový album Shake Your Money Maker. Ich nasledovníci The Southern Harmony a Musical Companion sa dostali na vrchol rebríčka Billboard 200 v roku 1992. Albumy Amorica (1994), Three Snakes and One Charm (1996), By Your Side (1999) a Lions (2001) nasledovali, pričom každý z nich vykazoval miernu popularitu, ale nedokázal zachytiť úspechy prvých dvoch albumov skupiny. Po prestávke v rokoch 2002 až 2005 sa skupina preskupila a koncertovala niekoľko rokov, kým v roku 2008 vydala Warpaint, ktorá sa dostala na 5. miesto v rebríčku Billboard.
