Martius. The Book of Palms. 40th Ed.
On December 15, 1868, Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794-1868), Professor of Botany at the University of Munich and director of the Royal Botanic Garden, was carried to his grave in a coffin covered with fresh palm leaves. The fronds were a reference to his groundbreaking Natural History of Palms: a work in three volumes, published between 1823 and 1853.
This encyclopedic treasury of 240 exquisite chromolithographic illustrations was based on von Martius's expeditions through Brazil and Peru. From 1817 to 1820, he traveled over 2,250 km (1,400 miles) through the Amazon basin to investigate natural history and native tribes with zoologist Johann Baptist von Spix.
The result was an unrivaled catalogue of all known genera of the palm family, outlining the modern classification of palms, describing all the palms of Brazil, and producing the first maps of palm biogeography. Von Martius's folio is unusual in its inclusion of cross-sectioned diagrams, conveying the architecture of these mighty trees, which central Europeans would have found hard to imagine accurately. Equally remarkable are the color landscapes showing various palms-often standing alone in simple and elegant beauty.

Thunder - The Magnificent Seventh CD
KDO: Thunder je britská rocková skupina, která vznikla v Londýně v roce 1989. Skupina se proslavila svým melodickým a energickým rockem, který obsahuje prvky klasického rocku, blues a hard rocku. Zakládajícími členy skupiny Thunder byli zpěvák Danny Bowes, kytarista Luke Morley, baskytarista Mark "Snake" Luckhurst, klávesista Ben Matthews a bubeník Gary "Harry" James. Jejich debutové album "Backstreet Symphony" bylo vydáno v roce 1990 a rychle získalo popularitu díky hitům jako "Love Walked In" a "Dirty Love." I když skupina Thunder prošla obdobím rozpadu v 90. letech, hudebníci se vrátili se na scénu a znovu začali koncertovat a vydávat novou hudbu. Jejich věrná fanouškovská základna zůstala pevná a skupina Thunder si stále udržují pověst jedné z předních britských rockových kapel.

On the Road (Penguin Modern Classics)
On the Road" swings to the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, generosity, chill dawns and drugs, with Sal Paradise and his hero Dean Moriarty, traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat. Now recognized as a modern classic, its American Dream is nearer that of Walt Whitman than Scott Fitzgerald, and it goes racing towards the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and autobiographical passion."

Queen - A Night At The Odeon (Hammersmith 1975) BD
O tom, že britská kapela "Queen" patří k největším hudebním legendám, není třeba pochybovat. O to víc je potěšující, když je v archívu objeven nějaký raritní materiál, o jehož existenci fandové sice vědí, ale doposud neměli možnost si ho vychutnat v poklidu svého domova. Již 20. listopadu se na trhu objeví další takový hudební skvost. Psal se rok 1975 a byl Štědrý večer. Členové kapely Queen ale netrávili tento sváteční čas se svými blízkými, čekal je totiž koncert v londýnském Hammersmith Odeonu, který byl zároveň natáčen televizí. Kapela zrovna válcovala hitparády a tuto v mnoha směrech výjimečnou show absolvovala v rámci turné, které následně pokračovalo do Ameriky a Japonska...A právě tento koncert se v listopadu objeví v obchodech pod názvem A Night At The Odeon - Hammersmith 1975 na CD, dvou vinylech, ale i DVD a Blu-ray a samozřejmě bude dostupný i digitálně. „Tento koncert pro nás byl hodně výjimečný. Bylo to totiž úplně poprvé, co jsme celou show hráli kompletně pro televizi. Navíc to byla Vánoční show,” uvádí kytarista Brian May a dodává: „Po skvělých záchranných pracích a přenesení do digitálního formátu je kvalita záznamu úžasná. Ta energie, kterou jsme tehdy vnímali, je i nyní cítit velmi silně.” Kapela Queen během výše popsané show odehrála patnáct písní ze svých čtyř prvních alb, které během vánočního koncertu doplnily i čtyři coververze známých rock'n'rollových klasik. Koncert se uskutečnil v době, kdy Queen již devět týdnů ovládali britskou singlovou hitparádou svým hitem Bohemian Rhapsody. Kromě této písně, která samozřejmě taktéž zazněla, se můžeme těšit na živé verze známých písní Killer Queen, Keep Yourself Alive nebo God Save The Queen...Vizuální formáty titulu A Night At The Odeon - Hammersmith 1975 nebudou obsahovat pouze legendární vánoční show, ale i dva velmi zajímavé bonusy. Tím prvním bude dvaadvacetiminutový dokument obsahují doposud nikdy nezveřejněné interview s Brianem Mayem a Rogerem Taylorem, ve kterém se oba protagonisté rozpovídali o koncertě v londýnském Hammersmith Odeonu. Druhým pak bude záznam tří písní ze show Live At The Budokan - Japan 1975, jmenovitě songů Now I'm Here, Killer Queen and In The Lap Of The Gods, které byly zaznamenány během koncertu na Dálném východě.

A New Science of Heaven
The story of the science of plasma and its revolutionary implications for the way we understand the universe and our place in it.
Histories of science in the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration which has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe. It is unknown to the general public despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners, senior academics and major research centres around the world have been devoted to it - it is the study of plasma.
Plasma is the fourth state of matter and the other three - gas, liquid and solids - emerge out of plasma. This book will reveal how over 99% of the universe is made of plasma and how there are two gigantic clouds of plasma, called the Kordylewski Clouds, hovering between the Earth and the Moon, only recently discovered by astronomers in Hungary. Other revelations not previously known outside narrow academic disciplines include the evidence that in certain circumstances plasma exhibits features that suggest they may be in some sense alive: clouds of plasma have evolved double helixes, banks of cells and crystals, filaments and junctions which could control the flow of electric currents, thus generating an intelligence similar to machine intelligence. We may, in fact, have been looking for signs of extra-terrestrial life in the wrong place.
Bestselling author Robert Temple has been following the study of plasma for decades and was personally acquainted with several of the senior scientists - including Nobel laureates - at its forefront, including Paul Dirac, David Bohm, Peter Mitchell and Chandra Wickramasinghe (who has co-written an academic paper with Temple).

Shiny and New
The Eighties were about big ideas writ large - new money, new style, gender fluidity, gay pride, attritional politics, the 'special relationship', nuclear fear, AIDS, cocaine, ecstasy, tabloid royalty, the rise of urban pop, and ultimately geopolitical chaos. Using a big narrative approach, Dylan Jones' history of the decade in pop frames the decade through some of its most important and popular hits, choosing records which either epitomised their time, or ushered in a new cultural shift. So we move seamlessly from Rapper's Delight and the genre defining moment of hip hop into The Specials' spectral, Ghost Town; from ABC and the apotheosis of New Pop (The Look of Love) to Madonna's breakthrough moment with Like a Virgin, and so on. In the '80s each year brought a new twist as technology shifted and genres snowballed, MTV reigned supreme and the story of pop became globalised. It was a decade of excess in all areas, especially ambition, but it was in the transcendent moments of pop perfection that the '80s found its true art-form.
Subjective and idiosyncratic, SHINY AND NEW takes us from downtown New York to post-industrial Manchester, in the first widescreen attempt to weave together the stories, the songs and events that re-shaped music and society.
