Beatles, The - The Red Album 1962 - 1966 (2023 Edition) 3LP
The Beatles bola anglická rocková skupina založená v Liverpoole v roku 1960 v zložení John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr. Sú považovaní za najvplyvnejšiu skupinu všetkých čias a boli neoddeliteľnou súčasťou rozvoja kontrakultúry 60. rokov a uznania populárnej hudby ako umeleckej formy. Ich zvuk má korene v skiffle, beate a rock'n'rolle 50. rokov a inovatívnym spôsobom zahŕňa prvky klasickej hudby a tradičného popu. Skupina tiež skúmala hudobné štýly od ľudovej a indickej hudby po psychedéliu a hard rock. Ako priekopníci v nahrávaní, písaní piesní a umeleckej prezentácii spôsobili Beatles revolúciu v mnohých aspektoch hudobného priemyslu a boli často propagovaní ako vodcovia mládežníckych a sociokultúrnych hnutí tej doby. The Beatles sú najpredávanejším hudobným počinom všetkých čias s odhadovaným predajom 600 miliónov kusov po celom svete. Sú najúspešnejším počinom v histórii americkej hitparády Billboard, držia rekord v počte albumov na prvom mieste v UK Albums Chart (15), najviac hitov na prvom mieste v americkom rebríčku Billboard Hot 100 (20 ) a najviac singlov sa predalo v Spojenom kráľovstve (21,9 milióna). Skupina získala mnoho ocenení vrátane siedmich cien Grammy, štyroch cien Brit Awards, Oscara (za najlepšiu pôvodnú skladbu pre dokumentárny film Let It Be z roku 1970) a pätnástich cien Ivora Novella. V roku 1988 ich uviedli do Rock'n'rollovej siene slávy a každý hlavný člen bol uvedený individuálne v rokoch 1994 až 2015. V rokoch 2004 a 2011 sa skupina dostala na prvé miesto rebríčka najväčších umelcov v histórii Rolling Stone. Časopis Time ich zaradil medzi 100 najdôležitejších ľudí 20. storočia.
Táto nová kompilácia predstavuje generáciám fanúšikov neuveriteľnú históriu najslávnejšej kapely v hudbe. K svojmu 50. výročiu bola kolekcia rozšírená o 12 ďalších skladieb, vrátane prvých piesní Georga Harrisona a niekoľkých klasických beatlesovských verzií R&B a rock’N’rollových hitov, ktoré mali na kapelu taký vplyv. Kolekcia 3LP teraz obsahuje 38 skladieb, z ktorých 30 má nové mixy na rok 2023. 12 novo pridaných skladieb setu je zhromaždených na treťom vinyle. Vložka obsahuje nové poznámky novinára a autora Johna Harrisa. Pre súčasných fanúšikov aj budúce generácie je nová kolekcia z rokov 1962 – 1966 radostnou oslavou nadčasového hudobného odkazu The Beatles.

Streets, The - The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light LP
„The Streets“ je anglický hudobný projekt, ktorý vedie spevák a multiinštrumentalista Mike Skinner. Projekt bol založený na začiatku 90. rokov, keď bol Skinner ešte tínedžer; žiadna hudba však formálne nevznikla až do začiatku 21. storočia. V počiatočnej fáze projektu The Streets vydal projekt päť štúdiových albumov: Original Pirate Material (2002), .A Grand Don't Come for Free (2004), The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (2006), Everything Is Borrowed ( 2008) a Computers and blues (2011). V tomto období The Streets vydali aj sériu úspešných singlov, ktoré sa dostali do Top 40 britského singlového rebríčka – vrátane „Has It Come to This?“, „Fit but You Know It“, „Dry Your Eyes“ (tzv. jediný singel číslo jedna), "When You Was't Famous" a "Prangin' Out". Po rozpustení The Streets v roku 2011 sa Skinner venoval niekoľkým ďalším hudobným projektom, než nakoniec v roku 2017 obnovil The Streets. V roku 2020 bol vydaný nový mixtape None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive. Šiesty štúdiový album The Streets "The Darker The Shadow the Brighter the Light" vychádza po 13. rokoch v októbri 2023.

The Education of an Idealist
'Her highly personal and reflective memoir ... is a must-read for anyone who cares about our role in a changing world' Barack Obama
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY:
The New York Times * Time * The Economist * The Washington Post * Vanity Fair * Times Literary Supplement
'What can one person do?' In this vibrant, galvanizing memoir, human rights advocate and Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Samantha Power offers an urgent response to this question.
As she traces her path from Irish immigrant to war correspondent and activist to eventually becoming the youngest-ever US Ambassador to the United Nations, Power writes with a unique blend of suspenseful storytelling, vivid character portraits and disarming honesty.
Her account illuminates the challenges of navigating the halls of power while trying to put one's ideals into practice (and raise two young children along the way), and it shows how - even in the face of daunting challenges - each of us can make a difference.

The Cat Who Saved Books
Grandpa used to say it all the time: books have tremendous power. But what is that power really?
Natsuki Books was a tiny second-hand bookshop on the edge of town. Inside, towering shelves reached the ceiling, every one crammed full of wonderful books. Rintaro Natsuki loved this space that his grandfather had created. He spent many happy hours there, reading whatever he liked. It was the perfect refuge for a boy who tended to be something of a recluse.
After the death of his grandfather, Rintaro is devastated and alone. It seems he will have to close the shop. Then, a talking tabby cat called Tiger appears and asks Rintaro for help. The cat needs a book lover to join him on a mission. This odd couple will go on three magical adventures to save books from people who have imprisoned, mistreated and betrayed them. Finally, there is one last rescue that Rintaro must attempt alone . . .
The Cat Who Saved Books is a heart-warming story about finding courage, caring for others - and the tremendous power of books. Sosuke Natsukawa's international bestseller, translated from Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai, is a story for those for whom books are so much more than words on paper.

Tajomstvo - The Secret
Fragmenty Veľkého tajomstva sa po stáročia vynárali v ústnej tradícii, v literatúre a v náboženských či filozofických dielach. Po prvý raz sa všetky zlomky Tajomstva spojili v neuveriteľnom odhalení, ktoré zmení život toho, kto ho zažije na vlastnej koži. V tejto knihe sa naučíte, ako Tajomstvo používať v každej oblasti života – nech sú to peniaze, zdravie, vzťahy či šťastie – a v každej interakcii so svetom. Začnete rozumieť sile, ktorá sa vo vás skrýva, a tento objav vnesie do vášho života radosť. Tajomstvo obsahuje múdrosť dnešných učiteľov, mužov a žien, ktorí ho použili pri budovaní zdravia, bohatstva a šťastia. Kniha prináša ich pôsobivé príbehy o tom, ako im poznanie Tajomstva pomohlo zbaviť sa chorôb, získať bohatstvo, prekonať prekážky a dosiahnuť veci, ktoré by mnohí považovali
za nemožné.
Vo svojich rukách držíte
Veľké tajomstvo…
Prahli po ňom mnohí. Po stáročia ho podávali ďalej, ukrývali, strácali, kradli a kupovali za obrovské sumy peňazí. Dávnym Tajomstvom sa dali viesť mnohé významné osobnosti našich dejín: Platón, Galileo, Beethoven, Edison, Carnegie, Einstein... a vynálezcovia, teológovia, vedci a slávni myslitelia. Teraz je Tajomstvo odhalené celému svetu.
„Ako sa budete prehrýzať knihou a oboznamovať s Tajomstvom, dozviete sa, ako sa môžete stať, čím len chcete a dostať či robiť všetko, po čom zatúžite. Dozviete sa, kto naozaj ste. A zistíte, aká veľkoleposť vás v živote čaká.“

How the Word Is Passed
Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks - those that are honest about the past and those that are not - which offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping a nation's collective history, and our own.
It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers.
A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our most essential stories are hidden in plain view - whether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth or entire neighbourhoods like downtown Manhattan, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women and children has been deeply imprinted.
How the Word is Passed is a landmark book that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of the United States. Chosen as a book of the year by President Barack Obama, The Economist, Time, the New York Times and more, fans of Brit(ish) and Natives will be utterly captivated.
How the Tricolor Got Its Stripes
Starting with flags that we know, this captivating history explains the origins and hidden meanings of flags, taking a chatty but always entertaining path through this universal subject.
Each chapter starts with a well-known flag and shows how that flag led to a number of other flags - so, for example, how the French tricolor led to the red, white and green tricolor of Italy, and then to a host of other tricolors in different parts of the world.
Many of the over 200 colour illustrations feature alternative versions of existing flags - the flags that might have been - such as the red Canadian maple leaf between two bands of blue, representing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
This entertaining and very likeable history of flags was written by Ukrainian businessman and ex-cabinet minister Dmytro Dubilet and first published in Ukrainian six months before the start of the Ukrainian-Russian war.

Lacná kniha How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch (-50%)
We probably all have a vague idea of how to make an apple pie: mix flour and butter, throw in some apples and you're probably most of the way there, right? Think again. Making an apple pie from scratch requires ingredients that definitely aren't available in the supermarket, ovens that can reach temperatures of trillions of degrees, and a preparation time of 13.8 billion years.
Inspired by Sagan's famous line, Harry Cliff ventures out in search of the ultimate apple pie recipe, tracing the ingredients of our universe through the hearts of dying stars and back in time to a tiny fraction of a second after our universe began. Along the way, he confronts some really big questions: What is matter really made of? How does the stuff around us escape annihilation in the fearsome heat of the Big Bang? And will we ever be able to understand the very first moments of our universe?
In pursuit of answers, Cliff ventures to the largest underground research facility in the world, deep beneath Italy's Gran Sasso mountains, where scientists gaze into the heart of the Sun using the most elusive of particles, the ghostly neutrino. He visits CERN in Switzerland to explore the 'Antimatter Factory' where this stuff of science fiction is manufactured daily (and we're close to knowing whether it falls upwards). And he reveals what the latest data from the Large Hadron Collider may be telling us about the fundamental ingredients of matter.
Along the way, Cliff illuminates the history of physics, chemistry, and astronomy that brought us to our present understanding of the world, while offering readers a front-row seat to one of the most dramatic intellectual journeys human beings have ever embarked on.
A transfixing deep dive into origins of our world, How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch doesn't just put the makeup of our universe under the microscope, but the awe-inspiring, improbable fact that it exists at all.
'A fascinating exploration of how we learned what matter really is, and the journey matter takes from the Big Bang, through exploding stars, ultimately to you and me.' - Sean Carroll, author of Something Deeply Hidden
'If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.' - Carl Sagan

Keys to Kindness, The How to be Kinder to Yourself, Others and the World
A deep-dive into kindness, the science behind it and how we can better build it into our lives, from the author of The Art of Rest
Kindness can be your super-power. It feels good to be kind to others. And it feels good to receive kindness. Making the world better, in however small a way, feels good and does good. Did you know kinder bosses are more successful bosses? That paying it forward can help build a purpose-driven life? Being kind strengthens relationships. Acts of kindness, whether given or received, improve our mental and physical health.
Drawing on the latest research from psychology and neuroscience, and her work in collaboration with the University of Sussex and the BBC, Claudia Hammond sets out a prescription for a kinder life that you can adapt to your own circumstances, and explains how to use this guidance for ourselves, others and the world.
It's time for a kindness revolution.
