Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS
THE FIRST EVER OFFICIAL BOOK—
Published in celebration of BTS’s 10th Anniversary, stories that go beyond what you already know about BTS, including unreleased photos, QR codes of videos, and all album information.
After taking their first step into the world on June 13, 2013, BTS will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut in June 2023. They have risen to the peak as an iconic global artist and during this meaningful time, they look back on their footsteps in the first official book. In doing so, BTS nurtures the power to build brighter days and they choose to take another step on a road that no one has gone before.
BTS shares personal, behind-the-scenes stories of their journey so far through interviews and more than three years of in-depth coverage by Myeongseok Kang, who has written about K-pop and other Korean pop culture in various media. Presented chronologically in seven chapters from before the debut of BTS to the present, their vivid voices and opinions harmonize to tell a sincere, lively, and deep story. In individual interviews that have been conducted without a camera or makeup, they illuminate their musical journey from multiple angles and discuss its significance.
In addition, portrait photos that show BTS as individuals and artists open the book, and throughout there are concept photos, tracklists of all previous albums, and over 330 QR codes. As digital artists, BTS has been communicating with the world through the internet and this book allows readers to immediately access trailers, music videos, and more online to have a rich understanding of all the key moments in BTS history. Complete with a timeline of all major milestones, BEYOND THE STORY is a remarkable archive—truly everything about BTS in one volume.
Banská Bystrica / Poézia svetla / The Poetry of Light
Za živa v Bystrici, po smrti v nebi.
Už po stáročia sa každé ráno prebúdza mesto do neopakovateľnej atmosféry. Prvé ranné slnečné lúče dopadajú na hrdo sa týčiace bystrické veže. Veže, ktoré dotvárajú kolorit Banskej Bystrice ako niekdajšieho starobylého baníckeho mesta. Mesta, ktoré žije svojou výnimočnosťou a dýcha históriou na každom rohu.
Zachovalé chrámy, veže, hradby a meštianske domy sú trvalým klenotom našich dejín. Príbehy z minulosti sú zaznamenané nielen v kamenných múroch budov. Cítiť ich pri prechádzkach tajomnými uličkami mesta, ktoré sa každý deň vynímajú v poézií svetla. Aj keď metropola stredného Slovenska prešla od svojho vzniku výraznými zmenami, svoje genius loci si zachovala dodnes.
Sugestívnym pohľadom na Banskú Bystricu, vyobrazenú na čiernobielych fotografiách, je snahou zachytiť memento dávnych čias cez hru svetla a tieňov až do dnešnej podoby. Aj keď stáročia poznačili vývoj a smerovanie osídlia pod Urpínom, dodnes je nasiaknuté svojou minulosťou.
Prevediem Vás nielen históriou, ale aj súčasnými náladami tohto jedinečného mesta v srdci Slovenska, ktoré si pre svoju krásu okamihu právom zaslúžilo označenie Perla Slovenska.

The War of the Worlds
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied. Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
Then, late one night, in the middle of the English countryside, they landed.
The Priory of the Orange Tree
An enthralling, epic fantasy about a world on the brink of war with dragons - and the women who must lead the fight to save it.
The House of Berethnet has ruled Inys for a thousand years. Still unwed, Queen Sabran the Ninth must conceive a daughter to protect her realm from destruction - but assassins are getting closer to her door.
Ead Duryan is an outsider at court. Though she has risen to the position of lady-in-waiting, she is loyal to a hidden society of mages. Ead keeps a watchful eye on Sabran, secretly protecting her with forbidden magic.
Across the dark sea, Tane has trained to be a dragonrider since she was a child, but is forced to make a choice that could see her life unravel.
Meanwhile, the divided East and West refuse to parley, and forces of chaos are rising from their sleep.
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.
World of WarCraft: Nexus Point -The Dragons of Outland, book 2
Don't miss the astounding conclusion to Tyri and Jorad's epic adventures in the shattered world of Outland!
Beyond the Dark Portal, the good-natured but brash blue dragon Tyragosa and human paladin Jorad have encountered a group of enigmatic creatures unlike any they have ever seen: the incorporeal nether dragons. But the heroes don't have time to spare for investigation: Ragnok Bloodreaver--one of the original death knights--has enslaved a host of nether dragons and is marching his fel orc army to the Dark Portal... where is brutal takeover of Outland will begin.
If Outland falls, will Azeroth be far behind? Seeking redemption, Jorad rallies The Broken and warns the Alliance of Ragnok's impending attack, all while trying to prevent Tyri from falling under Ragnok's control...
Written by bestselling author Richard Knaak and drawn by international superstar Jae-Hwan Kim, World of Warcraft: Nexus Point brings Jorad and Tyri's journey to an earth-shattering conclusion. Besides reavealing astonishing truths about the blue dragonflight, this epic manga exposes shocking details about the nether dragons' origins and their connection to Deathwing. An excellent companion read to the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion.

The Psychology of Stupidity
'We need books like this one' - psychologist Steven Pinker
At last, stupidity explained! And by some of the world's smartest people, among them Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Alison Gopnik, Howard Gardner, Antonio Damasio, Aaron James and Ryan Holiday.
Stupidity is all around us, from the colleagues who won't stop hitting 'reply all' to the former school friends posting conspiracy theories on Facebook. But in order to battle idiocy, we must first understand it. In The Psychology of Stupidity, some of the world's leading psychologists and thinkers - including a Nobel Prize winner - will show you . . .
* Why smart people sometimes believe in utter nonsense
* How our lazy brains cause us to make the wrong decisions
* Why trying to debate with fools is a trap
* How media manipulation and Internet overstimulation makes us dumber
* Why the stupidest people don't think they're stupid
As long as there have been humans there has been human stupidity, but with wit and wisdom these great thinkers can help us understand this persistent human affliction.

Gabriel Peter - I/O (Dark-Side Mix) 2LP
Peter Brian Gabriel (narodený 13. februára 1950) je anglický spevák, skladateľ, hudobný producent a aktivista. Preslávil sa ako pôvodný spevák progresívnej rockovej skupiny Genesis. Po odchode z Genesis v roku 1975 začal úspešnú sólovú kariéru so skladbou „Solsbury Hill“ ako jeho prvým singlom. Jeho piaty štúdiový album So (1986) je jeho najpredávanejším albumom a je certifikovaný trojnásobne platinovým vo Veľkej Británii a päťkrát platinovým v USA. Najúspešnejší singel albumu „Sledgehammer“ získal v roku 1987 rekordných deväť cien MTV Awards na MTV Video Music Awards a podľa správy z roku 2011 to bol najhranejší videoklip MTV všetkých čias.
Po viac ako dvadsiatich rokoch, tento december konečne vychádza album „I/O“, prvý album Petra Gabriela s novým materiálom od albumu „Up“ z roku 2002.12 skladieb pôvabnosti, gravitácie a veľkej krásy, ktoré poskytujú vítané potvrdenie nielen Petrovej neustálej schopnosti písať skladby , ale aj toho vzrušujúceho hlasu, ktorý je stále dokonale, nádherne nedotknutý. Na celom albume sa inteligentné a premyslené – často na zamyslenie – piesne zaoberajú životom a vesmírom. Opakujúcim sa motívom je naše spojenie so svetom okolo nás, ale aj plynúci čas, smrteľnosť a smútok, spolu s témami ako nespravodlivosť, sledovanie a korene terorizmu. Nejde však o slávnostný zápis. Zatiaľ čo premýšľa, nálada nie je nikdy skľúčená; I/O je hudobne dobrodružný, často radostný a v konečnom dôsledku plný nádeje, zavŕšený strhujúco optimistickou záverečnou piesňou „Live and Let Live“. Vždy sa snaží posúvať hranice, I/O nie je len zbierka tuctov skladieb. Všetkých 12 skladieb podlieha dvom stereo mixom: Bright-Side Mix, o ktorý sa stará Mark 'SPIK' Stent, a Dark-Side Mix, pretvorený Tchadom Blakeom. Obe verzie sú súčasťou balenia s dvoma CD.Peter má svoj dôverný vnútorný kruh hudobníkov po ruke, čo znamená, že gitarista David Rhodes, basgitarista Tony Levin a bubeník Manu Katché sú skvelí prítomní. Niekoľko piesní nesie odtlačky prstov dlhoročného spolupracovníka Briana Ena, pričom sú tu pozoruhodné príspevky od takých ako Richard Russell, klavirista Tom Cawley, trubkári Josh Shpak a Paolo Fresu, violončelistka Linnea Olsson a dcéra Dona E. Petera Melanie, teplé sprievodné vokály, rovnako ako Ríoghnach Connolly z The Breath. Soweto Gospel Choir a švédsky čisto mužský zbor Orphei Drängar prepožičiavajú svoje nádherné harmónie a masové sláčiky New Blood Orchestra na čele s Johnom Metcalfem upokojujú a vznášajú sa.Peter tiež pozval celý rad výtvarných umelcov, aby prispeli umeleckým dielom, ktoré bude sprevádzať každú skladbu. Tucet umelcov tvorí mimoriadne pôsobivý tím spolupracovníkov: Ai Weiwei, Nick Cave, Olafur Eliasson, Henry Hudson, Annette Messager, Antony Micallef, David Moreno, Cornelia Parker, Megan Rooney, Tim Shaw, David Spriggs a Barthélémy Toguo.
