The Fragile Earth
In 1989, just one year after climatologist James Hansen first came before a Senate committee and testified that the earth was now warmer than it had ever been in recorded history, thanks to humankind's heedless consumption of fossil fuels, New Yorker writer Bill McKibben published a deeply reported and considered piece on climate change and what it could mean for the planet.
At the time, the piece was to some speculative to the point of alarmist; read now, McKibben's work is heroically prescient. Since then, the New Yorker has devoted enormous attention to climate change, describing the causes of the crisis, the political and ecological conditions we now find ourselves in, and the scenarios and solutions we face.
The Fragile Earth tells the story of climate change - its past, present, and future - taking readers from Greenland to the Great Plains, and into both laboratories and rain forests. It features some of the best writing on global warming from the last three decades, including Bill McKibben's seminal essay 'The End of Nature,' the first piece to popularize both the science and politics of climate change for a general audience, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning work of Elizabeth Kolbert, as well as Kathryn Schulz, Dexter Filkins, Jonathan Franzen, Ian Frazier, Eric Klinenberg, and others. The result, in its range, depth, and passion, promises to bring light, and sometimes heat, to the great emergency of our age.

Madhouse at the End of the Earth
The harrowing, survival story of an early polar expedition that went terribly wrong, with the ship frozen in ice and the crew trapped inside for the entire sunless, Antarctic winter
August 1897: The Belgica set sail, eager to become the first scientific expedition to reach the white wilderness of the South Pole. But the ship soon became stuck fast in the ice of the Bellinghausen sea, condemning the ship's crew to overwintering in Antarctica and months of endless polar night. In the darkness, plagued by a mysterious illness, their minds ravaged by the sound of dozens of rats teeming in the hold, they descended into madness.
In this epic tale, Julian Sancton unfolds a story of adventure gone horribly awry. As the crew teetered on the brink, the Captain increasingly relied on two young officers whose friendship had blossomed in captivity - Dr. Frederick Cook, the wild American whose later infamy would overshadow his brilliance on the Belgica; and the ship's first mate, soon-to-be legendary Roald Amundsen, who later raced Captain Scott to the South Pole. Together, Cook and Amundsen would plan a last-ditch, desperate escape from the ice-one that would either etch their names into history or doom them to a terrible fate in the frozen ocean.
Drawing on first-hand crew diaries and journals, and exclusive access to the ship's logbook, the result is equal parts maritime thriller and gothic horror. This is an unforgettable journey into the deep.

Pink Floyd - Cre/ation: The Early Years 1967-1972 2CD
KDO: Pink Floyd jsou nepochybně jednou z nejzásadnějších skupin hudební historie. Jejich experimentální rocková muzika ovlivnila miliony posluchačů a inspirovala několik generací hudebníků. Vždy je zdobil progresivní přístup při hledání nových možností, kladli důraz na koncepční propojení zvuku s obrazem. Měli jedinečné nápady a pořádali originální výpravné koncerty. Od roku 1964, kdy vznikli, natočili čtrnáct studiových alb. Těžko hledat slavnější art-rockovou skupinu!
CO: Skupina připravila výpravný komplet The Early Years 1965-1972, obsáhlý soubor nahrávek zahrnující nevydané demosnímky, televizní vystoupení, živé záznamy i další archiválie z uvedeného období. Sběratelská lahůdka nabízí na deseti CD, devíti Blu-ray discích, jedenácti DVD a pěti sedmipalcových vinylových singlech především přes dvacet nevydaných písní včetně Vegetable Man a In The Beechwoods z roku 1967, přemíchané a předělané verze skladeb z filmu Zabriskie Point z roku 1970, sedm hodin dříve nezveřejněných živých audio nahrávek, více než patnáct hodin video záznamů raritních koncertních vystoupení a rozhovorů, tři celovečerní filmy... Jde o jedinečný pohled na ranou tvorbu jedné z nejdůležitějších hudebních skupin všech dob, o příležitost slyšet, jak se měnila tvář kapely od singlu Arnold Layne k dvacetiminutovému epickému kusu Echoes. The Early Years 1965-1972 detailním způsobem mapuje, jak se vyvíjela cesta Pink Floyd od setkání Rogera Waterse, Richarda Wrighta, Nicka Masona a Syda Barretta v londýnské Regent Street Polytechnic přes odchod Syda Barretta a okamžik, kdy se ke skupině připojil David Gilmour, až do období před vznikem zásadní desky The Dark Side Of The Moon. Zároveň s boxem vychází také toto 2CD The Early Years - CRE/ATION obsahující sedmadvacet vybraných nahrávek.

The Ear
When the artist Vincent van Gogh cuts off his ear, the ear is suddenly left alone and headless. What will become of her? Where should she go? What should she do? Acutely aware of how small and insignificant she is in the big, wide world, the ear experiences something of an identity crisis. She simply doesn't know who she is anymore. But thanks to a downcast frog with a heavy heart who simply needs listening to, she realizes what she can offer to the world: a sympathetic ear. Through helping her friends, she discovers a fresh perspective on life.

Annie Leibovitz: The Early Years, 1970-1983
For more than half a century,Annie Leibovitzhas been taking culture-defining photographs. Her portraits of politicians, performers, athletes, businesspeople, and royalty make up agallery of our time, imprinted on our collective consciousness by both the singularity of their subjects and Leibovitz’s inimitable style.
The catalogue to an installation at the LUMA Foundation in Arles, Annie Leibovitz: The Early Years, 1970–1983returns to Leibovitz’s origins. It begins with a moment of artistic revelation: the spontaneous shot that made Leibovitz think she could transition from painting to photography as her area of study at the San Francisco Art Institute. The meticulously and personally curated collection, including contact sheets and Polaroids, provides a vivid document both of Leibovitz’s development as a young artistand of a pivotal era.
Leibovitz’s reportage-like photo stories for Rolling Stone, which she began working for when she was still a student, record such heady political, cultural, and counter-cultural developments as the Vietnam War protests, the launch of Apollo 17, the presidential campaign of 1972, Richard Nixon’s resignationin 1974, and the Rolling Stones on tourin 1975. Then, as now, Leibovitz won the trust of the prominent and famous, and the book’s pages are animated by many familiar faces, among them Muhammad Ali, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ken Kesey, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Didion, andDebbie Harry, as well as John Lennonand Yoko Ono, captured in their now iconic embrace just hours before Lennon was assassinated.
Throughout the book, the portraits and reportage are linked to images of cars, driving, and even a series on California highway patrolmen. In many ways, it’s a celebration of life on the road—the frenetic rhythms, the chance encounters, the meditative opportunities. And with its rich archival aspects, it is also a tribute to an earlier time and a young photographer enmeshed in a culture that was itself in transition.

Lacná kniha Ústava Země A constitution for the earth Verfassung für die Erde Ústava Zeme
Niečo sa pokazilo. Optimizmus zo začiatku tisícročia dnes vystriedali obavy a neistota. Najprv euro?americká finančná, potom globálna ekonomická a s ňou spojená sociálna kríza, i zdanlivo nesúvisiaca klimatická zmena. Rastie hrozba vojenských konfliktov, terorizmu, sťahovania či migrácie ľudí a národov. Skryte narastá zásadný existenciálny konflikt ľudskej kultúry so Zemou. Chýba nám skúsenosť, hodnoty i program pre život v materiálne a duchovne rozmanitom svete.
Pribúdajú však aj výzvy ekologicky cítiacich ľudí, vedcov a inštitúcií na zmenu súčasnej civilizácie a vytvorenie nového vzťahu ľudí k prírode. Väčšinou ešte nejde o ucelené návody na riešenie, ale len o obavy a úzko orientované úvahy, morálne apelovanie a súpisy zbožných prianí. Dokonca aj pápež, riskujúc exkomunikáciu konzervatívnym krídlom cirkvi, vyzval v encyklike Laudato Sí všetkých ľudí k starostlivosti o spoločný planetárny domov. A to nielen na základe viery, ale aj v súlade s poznatkami dnešnej vedy.
Originálna koncepcia českého filozofa Josefa Šmajsa ponúka univerzálne prijateľné riešenia vychádzajúce z ontologickej podstaty našich súčasných problémov. Zdôvodňuje odmietnutie antropocentrizmu a žiada uznanie nadradenosti a práv Zeme nad právami, slobodami a výsadami ľudí. Ľudská kultúra nie je pokračovaním evolúcie prírody, ale opozičným umelým systémom, ktorý dnes Zem budúcim generáciam pustoší.
Ústava Zeme môže byť tou správnou odpoveďou – posúďte sami a staňte sa spolutvorcami novej duchovnej paradigmy.

The Earned Life
We are living an earned life when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives, regardless of the eventual outcome.
In his most personal and powerful work to date, world-renowned leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith offers a better way to approach fulfilment that goes against everything we're taught about achievement. Taking inspiration from Buddhism, Goldsmith reveals that the key to living the earned life, unbound by regret, requires connecting the habit of earning rewards to something greater than our personal successes.
Goldsmith implores readers to avoid the Great Western Disease of "I'll be happy when...." He offers practical advice and exercises aimed at helping us shed the obstacles that prevent us from creating fulfilling lives. From learning to privilege your future over your present, knowing how to weigh up opportunity and risk accurately, honing your 'one-trick genius' and needing to earn credibility twice, the book is packed with transformative insights and tools that will help readers close the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done-and avoid the trap of existential regret, the kind that reroutes destinies and persecutes our memories.
Full of illuminating stories from Goldsmith's legendary career as a coach to some of the world's highest-achieving leaders and reflections on his own life, The Earned Life is a roadmap for ambitious people seeking a higher purpose.

The Science of the Earth
Astonishing, studio-quality photographs of beautiful objects and specimens bring every corner of the planet, from core to atmosphere, to the printed page
Elegant design combined with beautiful images to explore and explain Earth's natural riches.
This is an informative, visually arresting introduction to planet Earth. The core of the book features large, detailed photographs of single objects, many of them small enough to be held in the hand, that each speak volumes about an aspect of Earth's environments and how they work. For example, bubbles of ancient air trapped inside an Antarctic ice core reveal how Earth's climate has changed over time. A piece of pumice thrown several miles into the air by a volcano helps to explain what happens when tectonic plates collide.
The book is structured around an imaginary journey that takes the reader from the inner core to Earth's surface (including both land and oceans) and up to the top of the atmosphere. Taking in environments such as grasslands, forests, and reefs, the coverage includes both living and inanimate realms. Feature spreads each throw a spotlight on an iconic place, such as the Amazon Rainforest or the Dead Sea, or a particular process, such as glacial erosion.
Many of the most fascinating parts of the natural world are beyond reach. This beautiful, informative book brings them up-close and within our grasp.
