Jerusalem
Guy Delisle expertly lays the groundwork for a cultural road map of contemporary Jerusalem, utilizing the classic stranger-in-a-strange-land point of view that made his other books, Pyongyang, Shenzhen, and Burma Chronicles, required reading for understanding what daily life is like in cities few are able to travel to. In Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City, Delisle explores the complexities of a city that represents so much to so many. He eloquently examines the impact of the conflict on the lives of people on both sides of the wall while drolly recounting the quotidian: checkpoints, traffic jams, and holidays.
When observing the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim populations that call Jerusalem home, Delisle's drawn line is both sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything. Jerusalem showcases once more Delisle's mastery of the travelogue.

How Fear Works
In 1997, Frank Furedi published a book called Culture of Fear. It was widely acclaimed as perceptive and prophetic. Now Furedi returns to his original theme, as most of what he predicted has come true. In How Fear Works, Furedi seeks to explain two interrelated themes: why has fear acquired such a morally commanding status in society today and how has the way we fear today changed from the way that it was experienced in the past?
Furedi argues that one of the main drivers of the culture of fear is unravelling of moral authority. Fear appears to provide a provisional solution to moral uncertainty and is for that reason embraced by a variety of interests, parties and individuals. Furedi predicts that until society finds a more positive orientation towards uncertainty the politicisation of fear will flourish.
Society is continually bombarded with the message that the threats it faces are incalculable and cannot be managed or contained. The ascendancy of this outlook has been paralleled by the cultivation of helplessness and passivity - all this has heightened people's sense of powerlessness and anxiety. As a consequence we are constantly searching for new forms of security, both physical and ontological. What are the drivers of fear, what is the role of the media in its promotion, and who actually benefits from this culture of fear? These are some of the issues Furedi tackles to explain the current predicament. He believes that through understanding how fear works, we can encourage attitudes that will help bring about a less fearful future.

Goddess
The classic, definitive biography of Marilyn Monroe, now updated in the year of the 60th anniversary of the iconic star's death - soon to be a major Netflix film, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Untold Tapes
'Gets as near to the heart of the mystery as anyone ever will' Guardian
More than half a century after her death, Marilyn Monroe is arguably still one of the most famous people in the world. Her life was a contrast of public brilliance and private misery, her death a tragedy suffused by dark questions - about her relations with President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert. Drawing on more than 600 first-hand interviews, Anthony Summers offers the classic, definitive biography of a woman who captivated the world. Marilyn's tragic story is clouded by gossip-reporting more than almost any other. GODDESS, however, delivers new, fully documented yet exciting fact.
The Severed Empire Collection
All four books in Phillip Tomasso's 'The Severed Empire', a series of epic fantasy novels, now in one volume!
Wizard's Rise: For over two hundred years, the Rye Empire outlawed the use of magic. Now, the empire has fallen, and a new, sinister power is rising. Ambitious and corrupt, The Mountain King will stop at nothing to reach his goals. To save the Old Empire from his evil magic, seventeen-year-old farm boy Mykal and his friends begin a desperate journey to collect crucially important talismans before the Mountain King. But a war is coming, and their time is running out. And if they fail, a terrible darkness will steal the light from the Grey Ashland Realm... forever.
Wizard's War: To stop the Mountain King, the realms across land and sea must unify. But time is not on their side. Mykal and his friends must warn King Nabal of the Mountain King's invasion of Grey Ashland. Magic has become the weapon of choice in war, and Mykal is still unsure of his abilities as a wizard. His skill and resolve will soon be put to the test, as the flames of war threaten to engulf them all.
Queens Of Osiris: After women start going missing from the kingdom, Hermon Cordillera’s daughters are unable to find whoever is responsible for the growing number of abductions. Meanwhile, Mykal - the young wizard - continues honing his magical skills with his mother, and his tactical training with Blodwyn, his oldest friend. Tasked with unravelling the mystery of the disappeared women, they soon realize they're ill-prepared for the untold dangers that await them. This time, they will need more than Mykal's magic to survive.
Assassin's Promise: When Blodwyn was a young boy, the King's Watch combed the lands in search of wizards, witches and anyone else practicing magic. Left an orphan because of this, Blodwyn's plan is simple: learn everything he can about killing, and track down the Watch. Working his way towards revenge with the dangerous assassin, Rasheed, Blodwyn soon faces a decision what will change his life forever.

Egy csésze kávé Koppenhágában
Módfelett bosszantó, ha egy kolléga lenyúlja az ember ötletét. Az pedig különösen fájdalmas, ha ez a kolléga ráadásul a pasink is. Regényünk főhősével, Kate-tel is ez történik. Szomorkodásra azonban nincs ideje, hiszen fontos feladatot kap: egy dúsgazdag dán vállalkozó nagyáruházat akar nyitni Londonban, és Kate-nek kell megterveznie a sajtókampányt. Ráadásul mindössze két napot kap az óriási projektre. Düh és dac munkál benne, de mindenáron tökéletesen akarja megoldani a feladatot.
Kitalálja, hogy hívják meg az újságírókat egy koppenhágai kirándulásra, hogy ott, helyben tapasztalhassák meg az egyedülálló dán életérzést, a hyggét. Az az elképzelés, hogy az újságírók koppenhágai beszámolóit olvasva, aztán majd egymást tapossák a vásárlók London új dán áruházában.
Hat hisztis és undok újságírót öt napig együtt tartani úgy, hogy a túrának gyakorlati haszna is legyen és a megbízó is elégedett legyen, igazán embert próbáló feladat! Mindez persze lehetőség is egy igazán nagy kalandra és arra, hogy megtanuljuk, mi is a dánok boldogságának titka.

Taste: My Life Through Food
From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an intimate and charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen.
Before Stanley Tucci became a household name with The Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games, and the perfect Negroni, he grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the recipes and into the stories behind them.
Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about growing up in Westchester, New York, preparing for and filming the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia, falling in love over dinner, and teaming up with his wife to create conversation-starting meals for their children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burnt dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.
Written with Stanley's signature wry humour and nostalgia, Taste is a heartwarming read that will be irresistible for anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.
Human Knowledge
How do we know what we "know"? How did we –as individuals and as a society – come to accept certain knowledge as fact? In Human Knowledge, Bertrand Russell questions the reliability of our assumptions on knowledge. This brilliant and controversial work investigates the relationship between â€individual’ and â€scientific’ knowledge. First published in 1948, this provocative work contributed significantly to an explosive intellectual discourse that continues to this day.

Sejdeme se v Monaku

Monet: The Essential Paintings
This magnificent boxed-set features stunning, accordion-fold, color reproductions of Monet’s essential works, accompanied by a separate booklet with background and descriptions of each painting.
Fans of Impressionism will delight in seeing some of their favorite works presented in generously sized accordion fold pages, which bring Monet’s representations of nature to exquisite life.
Arranged chronologically, this volume helps readers appreciate the achievements of a long and fruitful career. Natural beauty, color and light were the object of Monet’s incessant research, and he never lost sight of what was essential to him – the truth of his sensations. From the faithful transcription of the landscape in his early days to the gestural drawing of the final water lilies at Giverny, this book allows us to follow and understand the evolution of his creativity. The themes of Monet’s work (the seashore, the Seine, gardens, the seasons) are discussed, as well as the techniques he used, such as the decomposition of light and color through the brushstroke; the use of repetition and series to better reflect atmospheric variations; and the progressive dissolution of forms, which led to him being considered the precursor of abstraction.
Packaged in an elegant slipcase, this volume reflects the beautiful artistry and timeless traditions that are embodied in the artworks themselves.

Vicces-romantikus
Sally Milz jeleneteket ír Az Éjjeli Baglyok című szombat esti tévéműsor számára. Párszor már összetörték a szívét, egy ideje nem keresi a szerelmet - időnként kavar valakivel, sikeres a munkájában, a mostohaapjával szoros kapcsolatot ápol. Ez így együtt elég.
Sally barátja és munkatársa, Danny Horst randizni kezd egy glamúros színésznővel, ezáltal bekerül a nem túl hízelgő klubba, amelyet tehetséges, de átlagos kinézetű, sőt kicsit béna pasik alkotnak, akik jártak már kivételesen gyönyörű és magasan kvalifikált nővel. Sallyt ez bosszantja, úgyhogy megírja A Danny Horst szabály című jelenetet, ami ebből a jelenségből csinál viccet - jelezve, milyen valószínűtlen, hogy fordított viszonylatban létrejöjjön ez a felállás: ahol a férfi glamúros és a nő átlagos.
Itt jön a képbe Noah Brewster, a sármos popsztár, akiről köztudott, hogy modellekkel szokott randizni. Ezen a héten fellép a műsorban, ráadásul ő lesz a műsorvezető is. Sally egészen odavan a férfitól, és egyből megtalálják a közös hangot - több jeleneten is együtt dolgoznak. Sally eltűnődik, hogy ezek itt nem szikrák-e kettejük között. Dehát ez nem romkom, ez a valóság. Márpedig a valóságban egy ilyen pasi soha nem randizna egy magafajta nővel, nem igaz?
