Stíny povstávají (World of Warcraft)
Sylvanas Windrunner zradila a opustila Hordu, které se zapřisáhla sloužit. Její vinou jsou vztahy nejen mezi Aliancí a Hordou, ale i uvnitř obou frakcí napjatější než kdy jindy. Přesto se jejich členové upírají ke stejnému cíli dostihnout Temnou paní a zabránit jí v jejích plánech. Král Anduin Wrynn tímto úkolem pověří její vlastní sestru Allerii a Turalyona.
Mezitím Rada Hordy čelí rozšiřující se propasti mezi nimi a královnou Talanji. Nezbývá jim než na Zandalar poslat mladého Zekhana, který královnu zachránil před nevydařeným atentátem. V tu chvíli ještě nikdo netuší, jak důležitý úkol Zekhanovi svěřili. Zandalar se totiž ocitl ve středu Sylvanasiných plánů.
World of Warcraft: Kletba worgenů
Kdysi mocné království Gilneas se ocitá v obležení zvenčí i zevnitř. Zatímco se podél jeho mohutné zdi shromažďují armády Opuštěných, dojde v hlavním městě k řadě brutálních vražd, které naznačují, že se mezi obyvateli skrývá daleko zlověstnější hrozba.
Na scénu přichází Halford Ramsey, proslulý královský vyšetřovatel, který se nezastaví před ničím, aby zdánlivě nepolapitelného vraha dopadl. Při rozkrývání případu se Halford ocitá v ohnisku zájmu skutečných pachatelů vražd: worgenů, prokletých vlčích lidí, známých pouze z legend, a tajuplného „Vlčího kultu“, který je uctívá. Ramsey je záhy zatažen do deset tisíc let starého eposu, ve kterém nechybí láska, tragédie ani zrada, a který se točí kolem války prastarých nočních elfů proti démonické Plamenné legii. Halford, postižen kletbou worgenů, musí zkrotit zvíře zuřící v jeho nitru, a jednou provždy učinit přítrž ďábelskému spiknutí, jež hrozí zničením celého Gilneasu.
World of Warcraft Ashbringer
Všechno, co jste kdy chtěli vědět o osudu Azerothu, se v nyní dočtete. Však za tím také stojí odborníci na slovo vzatí! Scénář napsal Micky Neilson z Blizzard Entertainment a za ilustrace jsou zodpovědní Ludo Lullabi (Lanfeust Quest, World of Warcraft Book One ) a Tony Washington.
Království Loraeronu si snad ani na jeden rok neodpočine. Když zrovna lidé nevyhlásí válku orkům, tak jsou to šiky nemrtvých, které roznášejí na prohnilých kopytech lidská města, anebo tajemná partička bytostí z jiné dimenze, které nechtějí nic menšího, než převzít vládu nad světem. Válka není složena jen z odletujících hlav – válku dělají lidé. A právě osudům rytířů Řádu Stříbrné ruky, který se rozpadá na Bělostný úsvit a Šarlatové křižáky, se věnuje kniha World of Wacraft: Ashbringer .
Lacná kniha Slovakia Illustrated Encyclopedia of monuments (-70%)
The ambition of the illustrated encyclopaedia is to introduce a cultivated reader to the most extensive fund of architectural monuments and creative art relics in Slovakia. It is not an expert or art-historical publication describing or arranging the, often contradictory expert opinions. In the past decades, many of them have been collected in publications of this type. In contrast to scientific work, you will not encounter them there. On the contrary, we present painting, murals, altars, churches, castles, manor houses and historic town centres that only use their birth certificates, characteristics and forms to recount their history. The idea of this encyclopaedia`s was the reader to look closer, to establish relationships, to answer the questions of "why is it like that" when regarding the illustrations and photographs - or best, when visiting the sites directly. This publication aims to provide the largest possible scope of basic information - on where to find the beauty, on its orderers, creators, similar sites, the period and environment, in which it was created. Of course, many monuments do not have a known builder, painter, sculptor or craftsman. For most centuries, there were men - humble creators who did not feel the need for own presentation.
Even though no names are mentioned "at least" the work introduces them. You will also find the names of those who had the structures or pieces of art created and an explanation of the period in which the work was created. Current creators - artists usually assume a negative attitude to being questioned on the meaning of their work. Structures, sculptures and paintings of the past centuries hide messages that the period society understood. And often are very complicated. They include an enormous wealth of stories, fates, symbolism of the Old and New Testament, various legends, period reflections of science and literature. Some have their roots in the pre-Christian cultures. It is even possible to read the fortunes of people, orderers and viewers of these works. The period community looked much deeper at the shapes of architecture and the meaning of its details. In this publication, we are trying to point out at least a fraction of them.
Scenario and concept, draft, concept and coordination of 3D drawings, production of onsite photographic shooting, author of texts and annotations Peter Kresanek. Author of page on Slovak National Gallery and consultant Dusan Buran.
Book details:
1 109 entries
more than 5500 photographs with detailed descriptions

One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.

How the World Really Works
We have never had so much information at our fingertips and yet most of us don't know how the world really works. This book explains seven of the most fundamental realities governing our survival and prosperity. From energy and food production, through our material world and its globalization, to risks, our environment and its future, How the World Really Works offers a much-needed reality check - because before we can tackle problems effectively, we must understand the facts.
In this ambitious and thought-provoking book we see, for example, that globalization isn't inevitable and that our societies have been steadily increasing their dependence on fossil fuels, making their complete and rapid elimination unlikely. Drawing on the latest science and tackling sources of misinformation head on - from Yuval Noah Harari to Noam Chomsky - ultimately Smil answers the most profound question of our age: are we irrevocably doomed or is a brighter utopia ahead?

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
The Future of Geography: How Power and Politics in Space Will Change Our World
Space: the biggest geopolitical story of the coming century – new from the multi-million-copy international bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography
Spy satellites orbiting the Moon. Space metals worth billions. Humans on Mars within our lifetimes.
This isn’t science fiction. It’s astropolitics.
We’re entering a new space race – and it could revolutionise life on Earth.
Space: the new frontier, a wild and lawless place. It is already central to communication, economics, military strategy and international relations on Earth. Now, it is the latest arena for human exploration, exploitation – and, possibly, conquest. We’re heading up and out, and we’re taking our power struggles with us. China, the USA and Russia are leading the way.
From physical territory and resources to satellites, weaponry and strategic choke points, geopolitics is as important in the skies above us as it is down below. If you’ve ever wondered if humans are going back to the Moon, who will benefit from exploration or what space wars might look like, the answers are here.
With all the insight and wit that have made Tim Marshall the UK’s most popular writer on geopolitics, this gripping book shows how we got here and where we’re going, covering great-power rivalry; technology; commerce; combat in space; and what it means for all of us down here on Earth. This is essential reading on power, politics and the future of humanity.
The World for Sale
We are entering an age of energy crises and food shortages. This book reveals why.
Meet the swashbuckling traders who supply the world with energy, food and metal.
Their goal: To make billions by buying and selling raw materials - flogging Russian gas to Europe, Saudi oil to America and Congolese metals to Silicon Valley.
Their methods: Whatever it takes - whether funnelling cash to Vladimir Putin's sanction-stricken Kremlin, schmoozing Russian metal oligarchs after the collapse of the Soviet Union, or striking deals with the Libyan rebels at the height of the Arab Spring.
These are the commodity traders. You've probably never heard of them. But, like it or not, you're one of their customers.
