Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion - and the Future of Clothes
'A gripping blockbuster ... Thomas researches meticulously and writes with simmering even-handed anger' TELEGRAPH. Fashionopolis is the definitive book on the cost of fast fashion, and a blueprint for how we get to a more sustainable future.
Fashion has blighted our planet. Today, one out of six people on earth work in fashion, churning out 100 billion garments a year. Yet 98 percent of them do not earn a living wage, and 2.1 billion tonnes of clothing is thrown away annually. The clothing industry's exploitation of fellow humans and the environment has reached epic levels. What should we do?
Bestselling author and veteran journalist Dana Thomas has travelled the globe to find the answers. In Fashionopolis, she details the damage wrought by fashion's behemoths, and celebrates the visionaries - including activists, artisans, designers, and tech entrepreneurs - fighting for change.
We all have been casual about our clothes. It's time to get dressed with intention. Fashionopolis is the first comprehensive look at how to start.

The Rise of the Dragon
This lavish visual history-featuring over 150 new, full-colour illustrations-is a stunning introduction to House Targaryen, the iconic family at the heart of HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon.
For hundreds of years, the Targaryens sat the Iron Throne of Westeros while their dragons ruled the skies. The story of the only family of dragonlords to survive Valyria's Doom is a tale of twisty politics, alliances and betrayals, and acts both noble and craven. The Rise of the Dragon chronicles the creation and rise of Targaryen power in Westeros, covering the history first told in George R. R. Martin's epic Fire & Blood, from Aegon Targaryen's conquest of Westeros through to the infamous Dance of the Dragons-the bloody civil war that nearly undid Targaryen rule for good.
Packed with all-new artwork, the Targaryens-and their dragons-come vividly to life in this deluxe reference book. Perfect for fans steeped in the lore of Westeros, as well as those who first meet the Targaryens in the HBO series House of the Dragon, The Rise of the Dragon provides a must-have overview for anyone looking to learn more about the most powerful family in Westeros.
The Song of Achilles
A beautiful new limited edition paperback of The Song of Achilles, published as part of the Bloomsbury Modern Classics list
The god touches his finger to the arrow's fletching. Then he breathes, a puff of air - as if to send dandelions flying, to push toy boats over water. And the arrow flies, straight and silent, in a curving, downward arc towards Achilles' back.
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, the boys develop a tender friendship, a bond which blossoms into something deeper as they grow into young men.
But when Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Achilles is dispatched to distant Troy to fulfil his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
A searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war
Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest.
But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
Ten years after his prizewinning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths.

Throne of the Fallen
She didn't want Prince Charming. She wanted the demon.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco, Throne of the Fallen is a seductive new standalone novel set within the Kingdom of the Wicked world.
A wicked prince. A fallen painter.
Let the games begin . . .
The Prince of Envy has never claimed to be a saint.
But when a cryptic note arrives at his demon court, signalling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows it will take more than a hint of sin to win. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way.
Camilla is an artist with troubles of her own: a desperate mistake has landed her in debt to a notorious rake. Threatened with ruinous scandal, she is forced to enter a devil's bargain with Envy.
A bargain that reveals secrets and ignites passions that neither of them expects.
Together, Envy and Camilla must embark on a perilous journey through the underworld - from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm and beyond - while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.

Němečtí stíhači postupně o svou dominanci přišli, a nakonec bojovali o holé přežití.

Womans Game: The Rise, Fall, and Rise Again of Womens Football
DISCOVER THE STORY OF THE WOMEN WHO PAVED THE WAY FOR THE LIONESSES
This is the astonishing history of women's football: from the game's first appearance in England in the late nineteenth century to the incredible teams that at their height drew 53,000 spectators to Goodison Park, through to its fifty-year ban in the UK and the aftershocks when restrictions were lifted. Following the game's meteoric rise in recent years, Suzanne Wrack considers what the next chapter of this incredible story might - and should - be.
Správa od Lukáša - The Message of Luke
SPRÁVA od Lukáša / The MESSAGE of Luke je slovensko - anglické vydanie dynamického prekladu biblických kníh Evanjelium podľa Lukáša a Skutky apoštolov. Obidve knihy napísal pôvodne v prvom storočí Lukáš - lekár, historik a blízky spolupracovník apoštola Pavla. Eugene Peterson o ňom napísal: „Lukáš je obhajcom všetkých, čo sú mimo. Tiež bol outsider – jediný pohan medzi židovskými autormi Novej zmluvy. Rozpráva príbeh Ježiša, ktorý prijíma všetkých, s ktorými náboženské štruktúry zaobchádzali ako s vydedencami – a tými boli ženy, pastieri, rasovo odlišní Samaritáni a všetci chudobní. Odmieta náboženstvo ako výlučný klub. My všetci, ktorí sa pozeráme na život zvonku, bez nádeje, že natrafíme na tajný vchod, vstupujeme zrazu do príbehu, ako ho rozpráva Lukáš a nachádzame doširoka otvorené dvere - cítime sa nájdení a vítaní Bohom – v Ježišovi.“ Touto knihou vydavateľstvo Porta Libri zahájilo novú sériu, na konci ktorej bude úplné vydanie Novej zmluvy, na základe adaptácie prekladu Biblie od Eugena Petersona z hovorovej angličtiny do modernej slovenčiny. O autorovi: Eugene H. Peterson (1932) je kazateľ, teológ, učiteľ, spisovateľ a básnik. Dlhé roky pôsobil ako pastor v Marylande (US) a neskôr bol profesorom teológie na Regent College vo Vancouveri. Viac ako desať rokov pracoval na preklade Biblie z pôvodných jazykov – hebrejčiny a gréčtiny, do modernej hovorovej angličtiny. To, čo začalo ako skromná služba pre členov jeho cirkevného zboru, v snahe priblížiť im starobylé texty, sa stalo ojedinelým fenoménom. Biblia, známa pod názvom „The MESSAGE“ vrátila Knihu kníh do rúk mladej generácie po celom svete.
The Rise of the Clowns
A revolutionary leader whose voice was stolen. A powerful warrior captured, but barely contained.
Trapped together they must serve every whim of the brutal Ringmaster and face the bloodlust of the coliseum.
The Rise of the Clowns spans time, space and reality, where those in the world of the Kirkos, living in the depths of despair, find a glimmer of hope and give rise to their song - a song of rebellion.
Csoda and Biro are captives in a violent world far from their ancestral home, enemies of a petulant and vengeful Emperor. The fate of their people and those they love remain unknown to them as they struggle to survive under the soul crushing shadow of the Kirkos.
Kingdoms balance on a fine line between diplomacy and betrayal while the magic of the ancient Shaman remains true, never faltering, waiting to be rediscovered by two men bound to each other by chains and brotherhood.
The Rise of the Clowns blends myth and legend, action and adventure, magic and the power of the human spirit, for a thrilling fantasy ride like no other.

The Fall of Numenor
J.R.R. Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume. J.R.R.
Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a 'dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told'. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dur and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father's death that a fuller story could be told.
Although much of the book's content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Numenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and wealth; but as the Numenoreans' power increased, the seed of their downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Even greater insight into the Second Age would be revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth, then expanded upon in Christopher Tolkien's magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, in which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by his father, many in draft form.
Now, adhering to the timeline of 'The Tale of Years' in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien from the various published texts, with new illustrations in watercolour and pencil by the doyen of Tolkien art, Alan Lee.
The 48 Laws Of Power
Drawn from 3,000 years of the history of power, this is the definitive guide to help readers achieve for themselves what Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, Louis XIV and Machiavelli learnt the hard way. Law 1: Never outshine the master Law 2: Never put too much trust in friends; learn how to use enemies Law 3: Conceal your intentions Law 4: Always say less than necessary. The text is bold and elegant, laid out in black and red throughout and replete with fables and unique word sculptures. The 48 laws are illustrated through the tactics, triumphs and failures of great figures from the past who have wielded - or been victimised by - power.
Lord of the Flies
A plane crashes on a desert island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the imag
e of a terrifying beast. As the boys' delicate sense of order fades, so their childish dreams are transformed into something more primitive, and their behaviour starts to take on a murderous, savage significance. First published in 1954, "Lord of the
Flies" is one of the most celebrated and widely read of modern classics.
