A majom mamája
Elvesztettem a mamámat! Így szólt a pillangó: Szegény majom! Ne sírjál, segítek én a bajon. A bohókás pillangó lelkesen keresi, ki lehet a kicsi mamája - az elefánttól a denevérig. Mulatságos rímekkel bukdácsolunk át a dzsungelen, vissza majom mama karjaiba. Julia Donaldson és Axel Scheffler párosa már Magyarországon sem ismeretlen (A róka zoknija, Mackó levelei, és A Graffaló). A mese magyarítása ezúttal is Papp Gábor Zsigmond munkája.

Šternberkové
Možná si z legendárních Černých baronů pamatujete hlášku: „Poslyšte, Šternberk, nejste vy náhodou ňákej ten fón?“ „Jsem poslední hrabě Šternberk ze Šternberku, soudruhu poručíku.“ Seznamte se s osudy rodu Šternberků - jednoho z nejstarších a nejvýznamnějších šlechtických rodů, jehož počátky v Čechách a na Moravě se datují do 1. poloviny 13. století. Představitelé tohoto rodu se významně zapsali do našich dějin od středověku po odpor proti nacistům, podporovali vědu a umění a zanechali významné památky, z nichž řada patří k nejčastějším turistickým cílům. První monografie o rodu Šternberků od roku 1824 je určena pro nejširší veřejnost, která se zajímá o historii šlechty, všeobecnou historii i o dějiny hradů a zámků. Přináší informace o historii rodu, významných osobnostech, heraldice a genealogii Šternberků, ale i o téměř třech desítkách hradů, zámků a paláců, které jsou s nimi spojeny. Knihu doplňuje množství barevných a archivních černobílých fotografií a přehled rodokmenů.

Insecta
For every one human on earth, there are two million insects, co-existing with us in daily life, largely unseen and unappreciated. Often deemed a nuisance when we do come across them, these tiny creatures are an indispensable life force, vital to the ecosystem and basic functioning of planet Earth. Equal parts discovery and entertainment, INSECTA presents a spectacular array of super high-resolution, `hyper-real' color photographs of bugs and insects, magnified by 500% or more. As a graphic and educational counterpart, each insect name is translated into five main languages (German, Italian, English, French, and Spanish) and paired with sculptural, jewel-like close-up images of the bugs in this visually-arresting, large-format photography book. Dazzling photographs show the intricate anatomy, vivid coloration, and complex patterns of a variety of bug species whose widely-differing details, are not visible to the naked eye. Some of the insect species will be instantly recognizable, others are so rare and exotic, that many readers have possibly never seen before! In addition, fun and informative scientific text accompanies each bug type to remind us of the ever-fascinating masterful design and machinery inherent to the natural world.

A Bookshop in Algiers
In 1936, a young dreamer named Edmond Charlot opened a modest bookshop in Algiers. Once the heart of Algerian cultural life, where Camus launched his first book and the Free French printed propaganda during the war, Charlot's beloved bookshop has been closed for decades, living on as a government lending library. Now it is to be shuttered forever. But as a young man named Ryad empties it of its books, he begins to understand that a bookshop can be much more than just a shop that sells books.
A Bookshop in Algiers charts the changing fortunes of Charlot's bookshop through the political drama of Algeria's turbulent twentieth century of war, revolution and independence. It is a moving celebration of books, bookshops and of those who dare to dream.

Rose, Interrupted
'Enthralling, resonant, unusual and thought-provoking' The Guardian
'Lawrence is a fine writer' TheTimes
'A vibrant, accomplished storyteller' The Observer
'A truly brilliant book' Malorie Blackman on Orangeboy
Being a teenager is hard enough, but it's even harder in a world you've never known ...
Eighteen months ago, 17-year-old Rose and 13-year-old Rudder escaped a strict religious sect with their mum. They are still trying to make sense of the world outside - no more rules about clothes and books, films and music, no more technology bans. But also no more friendship with the people they've known all their lives, no community and no certainty. It doesn't help that their mum has to work all hours to pay rent on their cramped, smelly, one-bed flat above a kebab shop in Hackney.
While Rudder gorges on once-taboo Harry Potters and dances to Simon and Garfunkel and show tunes, Rose swaps the ankle skirts and uncut hair of the Woodford Pilgrims for Japanese-cute fairy dress and her new boyfriend, Kye. Kye, who she wants with all her being. But there's loads of scary stuff about their new life that Rose and Rudder have no idea how to handle - it's normal for girls to let their boyfriends take naked pictures of them, right?
When Rudder accidently sets a devastating chain of events into action, Rose must decide whether to sacrifice everything and go back to the life she hates, in order to save the people she loves.
A story about coming of age, slap-bang in the middle of a strange new world.

Inside the machine
In the early twentieth century, engineers learned to control the flow of electrons. Yet this epoch-making achievement-the underpinning of all electronics technologies to come-was not visible to the naked eye. Inside the Machine explores how a generation of commercial and fine artists conveyed this strange new world to the public. Together with engineers, they would transform the human sense of scale and possibility. Cultural historian Megan Prelinger offers a visual tour of this dynamic era, which saw advances and practical revolutions in automation, bionics, computer language, and even cybernetics. Along the way, she reveals the origins of everything from vacuum tubes and integrated circuits to motherboards and rocket ships. With more than 150 illustrations from commercial artwork of the day, Inside the Machine celebrates the collaboration among the makers, crafters, testers, and researchers of the twentieth century and the artists who lent images and understanding to the technologies of tomorrow.

A man who'd given up hope ...The village that gave it back to him When a young man washes up, naked, on the sands of St Piran in Cornwall, he is quickly rescued by the villagers.

Ábel a rengetegben -Helikon zsebkönyvek 15.
,Abban a nevezetes ezerkilencszáz és huszadik évben, vagyis egy esztendőre rá, hogy a románok kézhez vettek minket, székelyeket, az én életemben még külön is igen nagy fordulat állott bé. Akkor is Ábelnek hívtak engem; s ott laktunk Csíkcsicsóban, abban a nagy káposztatermelő faluban, a felcsíki járásban, éppen az Olt vize mellett. Apám, akit Gergelynek neveztek, még élt abban az időben, s közbirtokossági erdőpásztor volt. Ott is lakott fenn az erdőn, egyedül egy kalibában; s csak akkor jövögetett haza a házhoz, amikor az elesége elfogyott. Ilyenkor édesanyám ismét feltarisnyálta, s azzal visszament az erdei szállásra, hogy legalább egy hétig megint ne lássuk. Gyermek a háznál rajtam kívül nem volt, s én ezt nem is bántam, mert engemet is csak bajosan tudtak iskolába járatni s ruházni, olyan nagy szegénységben éltünk."
Így kezdődik Tamási Áron talán legismertebb műve, az 1932-ben Kolozsváron megjelent Ábel a rengetegben. Hőse a tizenöt esztendős talpraesett, okos kamaszfiú, akit apja elszerzett erdőpásztornak a Hargitára, a csíkszeredai bank erdejébe. Ábelt valójában a szegénység űzi, nem a kalandvágy, "hegybéli" történetét is inkább az elemi létküzdelem irányítja, semmint a puszta kíváncsiság és a szabadságvágy. Sorsát fegyelemmel, bátorsággal viseli, sikeresen megküzd a rablókkal is. Végül megfogadja, hogy a szegények védelmezője lesz.

Hanging
On a cold Monday morning before school begins, two children make a gruesome discovery. Hanging from the roof of the school gymnasium are the bodies of five naked and heavily disfigured men. Detective Chief Superintendent Konrad Simonsen and his team from the Murder Squad in Copenhagen are called in to investigate this horrific case - the men hanging in a geometric pattern; the scene so closely resembling a public execution. When the identities of the five victims and the disturbing link between them is leaked to the press, the sinister motivation behind the killings quickly becomes apparent to the police. Up against a building internet campaign and even members of his own team, Simonsen finds that he must battle public opinion and vigilante groups in his mission to catch the killers. A nerve-wrenching look at justice and retribution, The Hanging is a spectacular crime tale straight from the heart of Scandinavia.
