In Ascension
Leigh grew up in Rotterdam, drawn to the waterfront as an escape from her unhappy home life and volatile father. Enchanted by the undersea world of her childhood, she excels in marine biology, travelling the globe to study ancient organisms. When a trench is discovered in the Atlantic ocean, Leigh joins the exploration team, hoping to find evidence of the earth’s first life forms – what she instead finds calls into question everything we know about our own beginnings.
Her discovery leads Leigh to the Mojave desert and an ambitious new space agency. Drawn deeper into the agency’s work, she learns that the Atlantic trench is only one of several related phenomena from across the world, each piece linking up to suggest a pattern beyond human understanding. Leigh knows that to continue working with the agency will mean leaving behind her declining mother and her younger sister, and faces an impossible choice: to remain with her family, or to embark on a journey across the breadth of the cosmos.
Exploring the natural world with the wonder and reverence we usually reserve for the stars, In Ascension is a compassionate, deeply inquisitive epic that reaches outward to confront the greatest questions of existence, looks inward to illuminate the smallest details of the human heart, and shows how – no matter how far away we might be and how much we have lost hope – we will always attempt to return to the people and places we call home.

BRUMMM 2 - Motorious Chronicles
BRUMMM is a bi-annual visual feast for any and every motorcycle lover. The tempting bookazine acts as both an archive and platform for outstanding motorcycle photography: an event rarely found in the popular magazine world. A glimpse through the eyes of photographers who possess a notorious passion for purring engines, this collection of images promises to convey personal stories, provide exclusive insights into otherwise closed collector garages, preserve archival treasures, and capture iconic events. BRUMMM encapsulates a timeless experience, one which will be taken from your shelf time and time again. BRUMMM #2 is the much-anticipated second installment of the bookazine: the volume captures the artistry of photography alongside the palpable adrenaline of a motorcycle ride. French photographer Larry Niehues captures the grit and the allure of the American West; Los Angeles, Redlands, and Joshua Tree reveal themselves in a gentle-focus upon Niehues' vintage Nikons and expired film. Susan Mclaughlin and Paul D'Orleans used wet plates and a mobile darkroom to photograph the Cannonball Endurance Rally in 2016: a 3400-mile rally of century-old, collectible motorcycles shot with a photography technique that dates over one hundred years. Ferruccio Testi's breathtaking images from the April 1923 Giro Motociclistico d'Italia resurface in this latest issue of BRUMMM. These captivating images speak of the motorcycle rallies of the past and of their undying spirit.

Picasso in Fontainebleau
This publication and the accompanying exhibition are the first to reunite major works from Picasso’s studio in Fontainebleau, France, in over 100 years.
Between July and September of 1921, in a rented villa in the town of Fontainebleau, France, Pablo Picasso created an astonishingly varied body of work. Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, that reunites these works for the first time since they left the artist’s studio, Picasso in Fontainebleau presents both monumental versions of Three Musicians and Three Women at the Spring alongside other major works on canvas, small preparatory paintings, line drawings, etchings, and pastels he created in Fontainebleau. Encompassing both Cubist and classic academic styles, these works are complemented by never-before-seen photographs and archival documents. An introductory essay by curator Anne Umland examines the critical issues that distinguish Picasso's Fontainebleau oeuvre, and is followed by 15 short essays co-authored by curators and conservators that offer art historical analysis of groups of closely related works and object-based insights into materials, structures, and processes. By investigating Picasso’s decision to paint simultaneously in seemingly opposite styles, Picasso in Fontainebleau emphasizes the interconnectedness of his process and practice, and his ability to disrupt expectations of artistic evolution and stylistic consistency.

Banana Fish 16
Nature made Ash beautiful; Nurture made him a killer!
VICE CITY: NEW YORK IN THE 80s...
Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful; nurture made him a cold ruthless killer. A runaway brought up as the adopted heir and sex toy of “Papa” Dino Golzine, Ash, now at the rebellious age of seventeen, forsakes the kingdom held out by the devil who raised him. But the hideous secret that drove Ash's older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into Papa's insatiably ambitious hands--and it's exactly the wrong time for Eiji Okamura, a pure-hearted young photographer from Japan, to make Ash Lynx's acquaintance... Epic in scope, and one of the best-selling shojo titles of all time in Japan, Akimi Yoshida put an electric shock into the genre and gained a huge crossover audience through Banana Fish's stripped-down, non-stop style.
Ash and his crew are faced with a new deadly enemy, as Golzine has hired ex-member of the French Foreign Legion Colonel Foxx and his elite cadre to destroy them. To fight back, Ash has formed alliances with local Chinese and African American gangs. While the two sides clash in an all-out melee in New York's garbage-strewn back alleys and abandoned buildings, Yau-Si is still obsessed with the notion of killing Eiji...

Iron and Blood
Iron and Blood is a startlingly ambitious and absorbing book, encompassing five centuries of political, military, technological and economic change to tell the story of the German-speaking lands, from the Rhine to the Balkan frontier, from Switzerland to the North Sea. Wilson's narrative considers everything from weapons development to recruitment to battlefield strategy.
Germans' military impact on the rest of Europe has been immense. If there is one constant it has been the sense of being beset by seemingly more powerful enemies - France or Russia or Turkey - and the need to strike a rapid knockout blow to ensure a favourable result. Almost inevitably, this has in practice meant protracted, relentless and often unwinnable wars, and - in 1939-1945 - moral catastrophe.
The author of definitive books on the Holy Roman Empire and the Thirty Years War, Peter Wilson has with Iron and Blood written his masterpiece.

Az én karácsonyfám
Nem volt olyan ház Magyarországon, ahol a diós és mákos sütemények nem sikerültek volna e napon. Vajon termett-e elég mák, elegendő dió ez évben hazánkban, hogy mindenkinek patkó jusson az asztalára? A régi könyv azt mondja, hogy e sütemények nélkül nem érvényes a karácsonyi ünnep. Tán még a másvilági bíróság is valamiképpen felelősségre vonja az ünneprontót. Vajon mivel fog védekezni a magyar, aki a karácsonyi kalácsot elmulasztotta?" (Krúdy Gyula: Karácsony este) A kötetben Ady Endre, Kosztolányi Dezső, Krúdy Gyula, Móra Ferenc, Móricz Zsigmond és Nagy Lajos írásai olvashatók.

End Times
One of the most iconoclastic thinkers of our time offers a brilliant new theory of how society works
What leads to political turbulence and social breakdown? How do elites maintain their dominant position? And why do ruling classes sometimes suddenly lose their grip on power?
For decades, complexity scientist Peter Turchin has been studying world history like no-one else. Assembling vast databases mined from 10,000 years of human activity, and then developing new models, he has transformed the way we learn from the past. End Times is the result: a ground-breaking account of how society works.
The lessons, he argues, are clear. When the balance of power between the ruling class and the majority tips too far in favour of elites, income inequality surges. The rich get richer, the poor further impoverished. As more people try to join the elite, frustration with the establishment brims over, often with disastrous consequences. Elite overproduction led to state breakdown in imperial China, in medieval France, in the American Civil War - and it is happening now.
But while we are far along the path toward violent political rupture, Turchin's models also light the way to a brighter future. Drawing insight from those occasions in history where the balance was restored, End Times also points towards a different future: an escape from the patterns of the past.

The City of Tears
A breathtaking historical novel of revenge, persecution and loss, The City of Tears by Kate Mosse follows on from her Sunday Times number one bestseller, The Burning Chambers.
May 1572: for ten violent years the Wars of Religion have raged across France. Neighbours have become enemies, countless lives have been lost, and the country has been torn apart over matters of religion, citizenship and sovereignty. But now a precarious peace is in the balance and a royal wedding has been negotiated. It is a marriage that could see France reunited at last.
An invitation has arrived for Minou Joubert and her family to attend this historic wedding in Paris in August. But what Minou does not know is that the Joubert family's oldest enemy, Vidal, will also be there. Nor that, within days of the marriage, on the eve of the Feast Day of St Bartholomew, her family will be scattered to the four winds and one of her beloved children will have disappeared without trace . . .
Sweeping from Paris and Chartres to the City of Tears itself - the great refugee city of Amsterdam - this is a story of one family's fight to stay together and survive against the devastating tides of history . . .

Lacná kniha Művészek a háborúban - 1914-1918
A különleges és hiánypótló kötet az az első világháború idején besorozott művészek harctéren készült munkáit mutatja be, köztük olyan alkotásokat, amelyek a rendszerváltás előtt megtagadottak voltak, s amelyek évtizedekig el voltak zárva a nyilvánosság elől. Utoljára a hadikiállításokon láthatta a nagyközönség együtt ezeket az alkotásokat; évtizedeken át megtagadott, raktárakban porosodó művekről van szó, amelyek a harctéren, harci élmények hatására készültek. A festőművészek, szobrászok, építészek többsége nem önként ment a frontra: behívták őket a sajtóhadiszállásra, feladatul kapva, hogy örökítsék meg a háború eseményeit. Akadtak, akik nem haditudósítóként, hanem a harcokban részt vevő besorozott katonaként vészelték át az 1914-1918 közötti éveket, s voltak, akik nem élték túl az ütközeteket, elestek a csatatéren. Mennyiségében is tekintélyes képzőművészeti anyag gyűlt össze ezekben az években. A Művészek a háborúban című kötet olyan teljességét öleli fel a magyar kultúrtörténet e nagy fejezetének, amilyennel még nem találkozhatott az olvasó. Különleges nézőpontból, a művész érzékenységével dolgozták fel a témát a kötetben szereplő alkotók, köztük Mednyánszky László, Rippl-Rónai József, Vaszary János, Aba-Novák Vilmos, Kisfaludi Strobl Zsigmond, Medgyessy Ferenc, Stróbl Alajos, de méltatlanul elfeledett művészek harctéren készült munkáit is láthatjuk, és megismerhetünk olyan alkotásokat, amelyekhez eddig nem lehetett hozzáférni. Ludmann Mihály könyve méltó emléket állít hősöknek, áldozatoknak és az őket ábrázoló művészeknek az első világháború 100. évfordulóján.

The Golden Age of Photojournalism
Russell "Russ" Melcher came to Europe and photographed the superstars of the time, either during their visits to Paris and France or accompanied them on worldwide trips. He witnessed many world events from film festivals to terrorist attacks. Among the portrayed were royal families like the Windsors, Grace Kelly & the Monegasques, as well as film legends like Romy Schneider, Alain Delon, Burt Lancaster, Erol Flynn, Alfred Hitchcock, Sofia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, and music legends like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Harry Belafonte, and Yves Montand. In addition, there were political greats such as Charles DeGaulle, Fidel Castro, Nikita Khrushchev, the Shah of Persia, American presidents, and many more. Later Russ Melcher became director of the legendary photo agency MAGNUM and worked with photo legends Robert Capa, Henry Cartier-Bresson, Ian Berry, Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt, to name a few. This large-format photo book is about the stories behind the images and personalities.
Entertaining, humorous, but also profound, Russ describes his way to the perfect photo, his individual perspective, up to the importance of photographic storytelling of this 'Golden Age of Photojournalism'. Russ Melcher is an important witness to that time, but also an American entertainer in Paris who encouraged his protagonists to do things that few photographers could manage, a true and trusted partner to the stars of that era through the ages. The book is organised according to the two decades and Russell's encounters with the stars of the time.
