Who, The - Who CD
The Who po 13 letech vydávají nové album Who. „Album se skládá z písní, které byli až na dvě všechny napsány během minulého roku,” přibližuje desku Townshend. „Album nemá žádné téma, žádný koncept, ani příběh, jde jen o sestavu skladeb, které jsme já a můj bratr Simon napsali jako inspiraci, výzvu a možností pro Roberta Daltreyho vyzkoušet svůj nově oživený hlas. Já a Roger jsme už po všech stránkách staří muži, takže jsem se snažil držet dál od romantiky a nostalgie, jak to jen šlo. Nechtěl jsem, aby se někdo cítil nepříjemně. Vzpomínky jsou ale v pořádku. Některé skladby také odkazují k alarmujícímu stavu dnešního světa.”
„Myslím, že jsme nahráli nejlepší album od vydání desky Quadrophenia v roce 1973,” doplňuje Daltrey. „Pete je pořád skvělý textař.”

Survey of Topographical Anatomy
Původní text publikovali anatomové z Lékařské fakulty Karlovy univerzity v Plzni Jaroslav Kos, Jiří Heřt a Jaroslava Hladíková v roce 1964. Tato publikace byla významná především tím, že představovala první českou poválečnou učebnici topografické anatomie podle Weignera. První vydání mělo mezi studenty i lékaři obrovský úspěch, protože topografie celého těla byla popsána stručně a srozumitelně.
Všechna další vydání tohoto textu byla díky velké popularitě a oblibě vždy rychle rozebrána, stejně jako jeho poslední vydání před dvaceti lety. Autoři se proto domnívají, že tato publikace je pro topografickou anatomii stále platným a užitečným přínosem, a rozhodli se proto pro revizi a opětovné aktualizované vydání původního textu. Toto nové „oživené“ vydání obsahuje aktualizaci anglické i latinské terminologie (Terminologia Anatomica, Thieme, Stuttgart, New York, 1998), digitálně zpracované grafy a obrázky a menší úpravy v původním textu.

Of Mice and Mooshaber
Díla Ladislava Fukse bývají charakterizována jako psychologická próza zaměřená na téma úzkosti a zla v totalitních systémech. Autor je u nás i v zahraničí známý zpracováním tématu holocaustu (Spalovač mrtvol, Pan Theodor Mundstock). Myši Natálie Mooshabrové jsou prvním Fuksovým románem, ve kterém pracuje s novou tematikou a s prvky žánrů sci-fi a alegorie. Specifický humor, směs hororu i grotesky, pohádky i absurdního dramatu vytvářejí intenzivní atmosféru strachu a nejistoty, kterou umocňují bizarní protiklady hvězdoletů a koňských povozů či sofistikované byrokracie a stánků s pivo limo. Kniha byla rozpracována před okupací Československa v roce 1968, ale vydána až počátkem sedmdesátých let. Prvního překladu díla do angličtiny se ujal Mark Corner, výtvarný doprovod tvoří originální ilustrace Jiřího Gruse.

In The Country Of Men
Libya, 1979. Nine-year-old Suleiman's days are circumscribed by the narrow rituals of childhood: outings to the ruins surrounding Tripoli, games with friends played under the burning sun, exotic gifts from his father's constant business trips abroad. But his nights have come to revolve around his mother's increasingly disturbing bedside stories full of old family bitterness. And then one day Suleiman sees his father across the square of a busy marketplace, his face wrapped in a pair of dark sunglasses. Wasn't he supposed to be away on business yet again? Why is he going into that strange building with the green shutters? Why did he lie? Suleiman is soon caught up in a world he cannot hope to understand-where the sound of the telephone ringing becomes a portent of grave danger, where his mother frantically burns his father's cherished books, where a stranger full of sinister questions sits outside in a parked car all day, where his best friend's father can disappear overnight, next to be seen publicly interrogated on state television.In the Country of Men is a stunning depiction of a child confronted with the private fallout of a public nightmare. But above all, it is a debut of rare insight and literary grace.

The Iron Heel
The Iron Heel is a dystopian novel by American writer Jack London, first published in 1908.Generally considered to be "the earliest of the modern Dystopian," it chronicles the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States. It is arguably the novel in which Jack London's socialist views are most explicitly on display. A forerunner of soft science fiction novels and stories of the 1960s and 1970s, the book stresses future changes in society and politics while paying much less attention to technological changes.
