SAS - The Illustrated History of the SAS
The authorised illustrated history of the SAS by the number one bestselling author of Dunkirk, Joshua Levine. With never-before-seen photographs and unheard stories, this is the SAS’s wartime history in vivid and astonishing detail.
The SAS began as a lie, a story of a British parachute unit in the North African desert, to convince the Axis they were under imminent threat. The lie was so effective that soon a small band of men were brought together to make it real. These recruits were the toughest and brightest of their cohort, the most resilient, most dynamic and most self-sufficient. Their first commanders, David Stirling and Paddy Mayne, would go down in history as unorthodox visionaries. Yet this book tells much more than the usual origin story of the unit and seeks out less well-known leaders like Bill Fraser, who was essential in helping the SAS achieve fame for their devastating raids. By looking beyond the myth, this book brings back to life a group of men who showed immense bravery and endured unimaginable risks behind enemy lines.
Written with the full cooperation of the SAS and with exclusive access to SAS archives, Levine draws on individual stories and personal testimony, including interviews with veterans and family members. On every page, the book gives a visceral sense of what it was like to fight and train in the SAS in both North Africa and Europe during the Second World War, focusing on their failures as well as their successes.
This book is vivid with the characters of the men, their eclectic personalities, their strengths, weaknesses and many disagreements. Levine has uncovered a remarkable portrait of this enigmatic unit with photographs and stories long thought lost to history.

Klavírní myšlení Ivana Klánského / The Piano Thinking of Ivan Klánský
Kniha Klavírní myšlení Ivana Klánského představuje čtenářům významnou osobnost současného pianistického umění, prof. Ivana Klánského. Pojednává o jeho tvůrčím a pedagogickém zrání, životní cestě od jeho prvních klavírních krůčků přes studia na konzervatoři a AMU v Praze až po jeho rozsáhlou pedagogickou praxi. Zachycuje jeho začátky v roli klavírního pedagoga a postupné utváření svébytné, osobité metodiky, kterou mimořádně úspěšně uplatňuje ve své pedagogické praxi. Tato metodika je čtenáři přiblížena prostřednictvím myšlenkového vnímání hudby Ivanem Klánským a je vyjádřením jeho estetických a etických postojů v oblasti interpretačního umění. První kapitoly jsou věnovány životní dráze a stěžejním pilířům jeho klavírní metodiky, jakými se jeví diagnostika výkonu interpreta, práce klavíristy s časem a zvukem, fyzicko-technické zákonitosti klavírní hry. Přibližují i nejoriginálnější součásti jeho pedagogicko-metodického systému, kterými se stala impulzová metoda a metodický princip rozčleňování interpretace na horizontálně nebo vertikálně hudebně zpracované plochy. Další kapitoly rozebírají názory a pohledy Ivana Klánského na interpretaci hudby jednotlivých hudebněhistorických období od 17. do 20. století.
The book The Piano Thinking of Ivan Klánský introduces readers to the life and work of an eminent proponent of contemporary piano-playing interpretation and pedagogy prof. Ivan Klánský. It deals with his creative and pedagogical development from his first musical accomplishments through studies at the Conservatoire and Academy of Performing Arts in Prague up to his extensive pedagogical practice. It also covers his early pedagogical experiences and the gradual formation of his specific piano-teaching method which he has been applying successfully throughout his entire career. This method is being explored through the prism of Klánskýs intellectual perception of music and represents an expression of his aesthetic and ethical attitudes in the area of interpretative art. The first chapters are devoted to his career and to the key points of the methodology of his piano lessons, including the diagnosis of the players potential for appropriate achievement, his or her implementation of sound and timing issues, and the physiological and practical rules of piano technique and practice. We also present the most innovative parts of his teaching method, i.e. the impulse method focused on the range of touch and tone production, also progression in horizontal and vertical playing. The closing parts explore Klánskýs views on the interpretation of music in performance throughout particular historical periods, from the 17th to the 20th centuries.

Objeví se na ní Nas, Phife Dawg, CL, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, Posdenuos of de la Soul, Slick Rick a Nicol Scherzinger. Jedná se o sedmou desku, jejíž vydání předznamenal skladba Big Love, který jako jeden z prvních singlů reflektoval střelbu na amerických středních školách a věnoval se problematice odebírání dětí imigrantským rodinám. Výnosy z prodeje singlu putovaly na účet studentské aktivistické organizace March for Our Lives, která se zabývá ukončením epidemie masových střeleb na školách a organizace Families Belong Together, která bojuje proti Trumpově politice násilné separace rodin. Ve vyzývání statu quo Black Eyed Peas pokračují i na desce, kde se dále věnují aktuálním problémům černošských komunit, jakými je například kontrola zbraní, imigrační a vězeňská reforma a policejní brutalita.
Black Eyed Peas jsou uskupením, které se v průběhu své existence věnovalo hip hopu, popu, dance music i elektro žánru. Kapela se momentálně skládá z will.i.ama, apl.de.apa a Tabooa. V minulosti v kapele působila i zpěvačka Fergie. Black Eyed Peas stojí za hity, jako je Where Is The Love?, který se stal nejprodávanějším britským singlem roku 2003, nebo Pump It a se singly Boom Boom Pow a I Gotta Feeling se ve své době stali jednou z jedenácti kapel, které se podařilo obsadit první dvě příčky Billboard Hot 100 zároveň.

Bowie David - The Mercury Demos (Black Vinyl Album Box) LP
KDO: Jedna z největších osobnostní světové hudby, proslulý hudební chameleon a průkopník hned několika hudebních směrů. Za svůj život vydal tento britský umělec rovných dvacet pět alb, z nichž velká část se zařadila do zlatého fondu populární hudby a ovlivnila hned několik generací hudebníků z několika hudebních žánrů. Své poslední album Black Star David Bowie vydal 8. ledna 2016 v den svých šedesátých devátých narozenin a pouhé dva dny před svou smrtí.
CO: Kolekce vydaná ku příležitosti oslav padesáti let od vydání prvního hitu Davida Bowieho, jímž byla v roce 1969 Space Oddity. The "Mercury Demos" je kolekce deseti ranných nahrávek Davida Bowieho, pořízených živě na jeden "take" přímo v Bowieho bytě na jaře roku 1969. Bowieho na kytaru doprovází John "Hutch" Hutchinson, který zpívá též doprovodné vokály. Je zde i vůbec první záznam písně Space Oddity. Nahrávky vznikly na popud hledače talentů Mercury Records Calvina Marka Lee, který je chtěl poslat svému šéfovi Bobu Renovi. Čtyřicet jedna minut trvající nahrávka tak sehrála klíčovou roli v tom, že Bowie dostal u Mercury Records nahrávací smlouvu.

Případ ztracené závěti / The Case of the Missing Will
V Případu ztracené závěti se na známého detektiva Hercula Poirota obrací mladá žena, které její nebožtík strýc připravil opravdu důmyslný hlavolam, aby se tak ujistil, že si zaslouží stát se jeho dědičkou. Poirot osobně napomůže i vyřešení tajuplného případu vraždy v povídce Dobrodružství s italským šlechticem. Povídky Rádžův smaragd a Mužnost Edwarda Robinsona patří k autorčiným oblíbeným humorným textům, které nijak neidealizují vztahy mezi muži a ženami. Labutí píseň čtenáře pro změnu zavede do podivuhodného světa opery a povídka Poslední seance je výjimečná tím, že se vážně zabývá oblíbeným tématem Agathy Christie: vyvoláváním duchů a nadpřirozenými jevy.
