Tato rozsáhlá studie se zabývá celým obdobím od predynastického údobí až do doby Alexandra Velikého, obdobím od prvotního hospodářského systému, přes vznik prvních zemědělských společenství, až k rozvoji městských center a zřízení politických institucí v rámci státu, přičemž hlavní důraz klade na politické, sociální a hospodářské změny ty zkoumá pod úhlem poznatků nejnovějších archeologických výzkumů a současně tak nově přehodnocuje některá tradiční historická data.

Ice Like Fire
Game of Thrones meets Graceling in this thrilling fantasy, the heart-pounding sequel to New York Times bestseller Snow Like Ashes. This action-packed series is perfect for fans of An Ember in the Ashes and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
It’s been three months since the Winterians were freed and Spring’s king, Angra, disappeared—thanks largely to the help of Cordell.
Meira just wants her people to be safe. When Cordellan debt forces the Winterians to dig their mines for payment, they unearth something powerful and possibly dangerous: Primoria’s lost chasm of magic. The last time the world had access to so much magic, it spawned the Decay. So when the king of Cordell orders Meira and Theron on a mission to discover the chasm’s secrets, Meira plans on using the trip to garner support to keep the chasm shut and Winter safe—even if it means clashing with Theron. But can she do so without endangering the people she loves?
Mather just wants to be free. The horrors inflicted on the Winterians hang fresh and raw in Jannuari—leaving Winter vulnerable to Cordell’s growing oppression. When Meira leaves to search for allies, Mather decides to take Winter’s security into his own hands. Can he rebuild his broken Kingdom and protect his people from new threats?
As the web of power and deception is woven tighter, Theron fights for magic, Mather fights for freedom—and Meira starts to wonder if she should be fighting not just for Winter but for the world.
Briefly, A Delicious Life
Longlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize
In 1838 Frederic Chopin, George Sand and her children travel to a monastery in Mallorca. They are there to create and to convalesce, to live a simple life after the wildness of their Paris days.
Witness to this tumultuous arrival is Blanca, the ghost of a teenage girl who has been at the monastery for over three hundred years. Blanca's was a life cut short and she is outraged. Having lived in a world full, according to her mother, of 'beautiful men', she has found that in death it is the women she falls for, their beauty she cannot turn away from, and it is the women and girls who, over her centuries in the village and at the monastery, she has sought to protect from the attentions of men with what little power she has. And then George Sand arrives, this beautiful woman in a man's clothes, and Blanca is in love.
But the rest of the village is suspicious of the newcomers, and as winter sets in, as George tries to keep her family and herself from falling apart, as Chopin writes prelude after prelude in despair on his tuneless piano, their stay looks likely to end in disaster . . .
Heady with the delicious scent of the Mediterranean, richly witty, and utterly compulsive, Briefly, A Delicious Life is a story about convention and breaking convention, about love - yearning, secret, forbidden, unrequited - and about men and women and the cruelty they mete out to one another.

Madhouse at the End of the Earth
The harrowing, survival story of an early polar expedition that went terribly wrong, with the ship frozen in ice and the crew trapped inside for the entire sunless, Antarctic winter
August 1897: The Belgica set sail, eager to become the first scientific expedition to reach the white wilderness of the South Pole. But the ship soon became stuck fast in the ice of the Bellinghausen sea, condemning the ship's crew to overwintering in Antarctica and months of endless polar night. In the darkness, plagued by a mysterious illness, their minds ravaged by the sound of dozens of rats teeming in the hold, they descended into madness.
In this epic tale, Julian Sancton unfolds a story of adventure gone horribly awry. As the crew teetered on the brink, the Captain increasingly relied on two young officers whose friendship had blossomed in captivity - Dr. Frederick Cook, the wild American whose later infamy would overshadow his brilliance on the Belgica; and the ship's first mate, soon-to-be legendary Roald Amundsen, who later raced Captain Scott to the South Pole. Together, Cook and Amundsen would plan a last-ditch, desperate escape from the ice-one that would either etch their names into history or doom them to a terrible fate in the frozen ocean.
Drawing on first-hand crew diaries and journals, and exclusive access to the ship's logbook, the result is equal parts maritime thriller and gothic horror. This is an unforgettable journey into the deep.

Dynasty
Family isn't just important. It's everything.
From lions hunting as a pride to penguins huddling together to keep from freezing in the bitter Antarctic winter, many animals are dependent on complex social relationships for their survival. Powerful dynasties lay claim to vast swathes of territory, fighting off rivals and securing their hunting grounds for generations to come.
Dynasties offers an immersive insight into the shifting hierarchies of animal families. Each chapter follows a different dynasty, from the Marsh Lions of the Masai Mara to rival packs of painted wolves, from a tiger protecting her newborn cubs to a chimpanzee troop and the penguin colonies of the Antarctic. Alongside tender moments when bonds are strengthened through grooming and play, the book charts the rivalries that tip the balance of power, when family members turn against each other and younger animals grow strong enough to challenge for control.
With over 200 stunning photographs and insights from the crew of the BBC series, Dynasties reveals in astonishing detail the intricate social lives of our planet's most fascinating animals.

Az (őszinte) igazság a hazugságról
Vajon tényleg elrettent bennünket a tisztességtelen viselkedéstől a lebukás veszélye? Miért csalunk többet, ha divatos márkák utánzatait viseljük? Becsületesebbé tesz-e bennünket az együttműködés? Miként hat a vallás a tisztességre? Bár szeretünk becsületes emberként gondolni magunkra, valójában mindnyájan csalunk vagy hazudunk néha. Erkölcstelen viselkedést nemcsak a politika világában figyelhetünk meg, hanem a saját életünkben is, a magánéletünktől a munkahelyünkig szinte mindenhol. Dan Ariely, pszichológus és viselkedési közgazdász, könyvében a tisztességtelen viselkedést állítólagosan kiváltó költség-haszon elemzést vizsgálja, és arra a következtetésre jut, hogy gyakran azok az irracionális erők hatnak a cselekedeteinkre, amelyeknek általában nem tulajdonítunk nagy jelentőséget. Könyve révén felfedezhetjük a mindennapi életünket becsületesebbé (vagy éppen tisztességtelenebbé tevő) pszichológiai és környezeti tényezőket, és felismerhetjük, miként csalunk a saját érdekünkben úgy, hogy közben megőrizzük az önmagunkról alkotott pozitív képet. A szerzőről Dan Ariely a pszichológia és a viselkedési közgazdaságtan professzora a Duke Egyetemen. Első PhD-fokozatát a kognitív pszichológia, a másodikat a vállalati gazdálkodás területén szerezte. A Center for Advanced Hindsight (Utólagos Bölcsesség Központja) megalapítója és igazgatója. Két könyve olvasható magyar nyelven, a Kiszámíthatóan irracionális és a Zseniálisan irracionális. Számos helyen megjelentek az írásai, többek közt a The New York Times, a The Wall Street Journal, a The Washington Post és a The Boston Globe napilapokban. Az észak-karolinai Durhamben él feleségével, Sumival, és két gyermekükkel, Amittal és Netával.

Zűrös társaság
Roni már tizenhét éves, édesanyja mégis úgy kezeli, mintha tegnap ballagott volna el az óvodából. Semmi bulizás, semmi lazulás, a szigorú anya azt szeretné, ha lánya egész nap csak az érettségire magolna. Roni azonban mindennél jobban vágyik a szabadságra, és arra, hogy Balázs, a suli rockbandájának dobosa végre felfigyeljen rá. Ezért akár a végsőkig is képes elmenni…
A tavaszi szünet előtt barátnője összejön a Ginger Deer balhéiról elhíresült gitárosával, így Roni is közelebb kerülhet Balázshoz. De vajon a fiú tényleg az, akinek látszik? Vajon Roninak ez a meghatározó év élete nagy kalandját vagy legnagyobb tévedését tartogatja?
Vedd kezedbe a döntést, és légy Te a sztori főhőse!
Tolnai Panka ifjúsági regényfolyamának első darabja egy budapesti gimnazista lány mindennapjaiba enged bepillantást, aki jellegzetesen kamaszos testi és lelki kérdéseken vívódik: tanulás vagy lógás, család vagy barátok, haverság vagy szerelem, józanság vagy mámor. Bár a humoros és szerethető főhősök kamaszok, a regény nem korhatáros, hiszen mindannyian átéltük, és a pokolra kívántuk ezt a korszakot, hogy aztán egy életen át visszasírjuk.
„Kedvelem a hősnőt, Ronit, ezt lázadó lányt, aki elszánt harcot vív a családjával és önmagával – a családjáért és önmagáért. Ő és a többi szereplő visszaidézi a gimnazista évek minden rémségét és gyönyörűségét, az első szerelem, az első csalódás pillanatát, az igaz és sok évtizeden át összekötő barátságok kezdetének történetét, a tinik pedig valószínűleg magukra ismernek Roniban és társaiban.”

Season of the Witch: The Book of Goth
1979. Months of industrial action throughout the winter have left the dead unburied and mountains of rubbish piling up in the streets. After ten brutal homicides and the biggest police hunt in history, the Yorkshire Ripper is still at large and preparing to strike again.Punk has reached its bleak climax with the fatal heroin overdose of Sid Vicious while awaiting trial for the murder of his girlfriend. Unlikely alliances of outsiders prepare to seize power, set the political agenda and write the soundtrack for the years to come. Their figureheads are two very different kinds of dominatrices...
As Margaret Thatcher enters 10 Downing Street, four bands born of punk - Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, the Cure, and Magazine - find a way to distil the dissonance and darkness of the shifting decade into a new form of music. Pushing at the taboos the Sex Pistols had unlocked and dancing with the fetishistic, all will become global stars of goth. By the time Thatcher is cast out of office in 1990, the arrival of goth will have imprinted on the cultural landscape as much as the Iron Lady herself.Now, forty years since its inception, author Cathi Unsworth provides the first comprehensive overview of the music, context and lasting legacy of goth.
This is the story of how goth was shaped by the politics of the era - from the miners' strikes and privatisation to the Troubles and AIDS - as well as how its rock 'n' roll outlaw imagery and innovative, atmospheric music cross-pollinated throughout Britain and internationally, speaking to a generation of alienated youths. A fascinating social history, Season of the Witch tells the tale of an enduring counter-culture, one that steadfastly refuses to give up the ghost.

Squeeze Me
It's the height of the Palm Beach charity ball season: for every good cause, there's a reason for the local luminaries to eat (minimally), drink (maximally), and be seen. But when prominent high-society dowager Kiki Pew suddenly vanishes during a swanky gala, and is later found dead, panic and chaos erupt.
Kiki was an ardent fan of the Winter White House resident just down the road, and a founding member of the POTUSSIES, a group of women dedicated to supporting their President - who immediately declares that Kiki was the victim of rampaging immigrant hordes. This, it turns out, is far from the truth.
The truth might just lie in the middle of the highway, where a bizarre discovery brings the First Lady's motorcade to a grinding halt. Enter Angie Armstrong, wildlife wrangler extraordinaire, who is summoned to the posh island to deal with a mysterious and impolite influx of huge, hungry pythons...
Carl Hiaasen can brighten even the darkest of days and Squeeze Me is pure, unadulterated Hiaasen. Irreverent, ingenious, and highly entertaining, it perfectly captures the absurdity of our times.

The Lost Country, Episode Four
First came the time-storm, which erased half the population. Then came the Dinosaur Apocalypse …
How did it all begin? Well, that depends on where you were and who you ask. In some places it started with the weather—which quickly became unstable and began behaving in impossible ways. In still others it started with the lights in the sky, which shifted and pulsed and could not be explained. Elsewhere it started with the disappearances: one here, a few there, but increasing in occurrence until fully three quarters of the population had vanished. Either way, there is one thing on which everyone agrees—it didn't take long for the prehistoric flora and fauna to start showing up (often appearing right where someone was standing, in which case the two were fused, spliced, amalgamated). It didn't take long for the great Time-displacement called the Flashback—which was brief but had aftershocks, like an earthquake—to change the face of the earth. Nor for the stories, some long and others short, some from before the maelstrom (and resulting societal collapse) and others after, to be recorded.
Welcome to the Lost Country.
From "The Devil's Triangle":
There were six of them, as I said—all of whom rushed us the instant our feet touched the ground. All of whom snarled and charged us like wolverines as we raised our weapons and fired—the flare gun cracking and hissing, blanching the scarlet haze (for the sun had painted everything red and gold), its projectile punching through one of the raptors’ chests and lighting it up so that its ribs were backlit briefly and I could see, if only for an instant, its burning, beating heart.
Yet still they came, another one leaping at me even as I dropped the gun—which clattered against the planks—as I dropped it and grabbed the thing by its neck—then brought the knife down with my other hand and stabbed it between the eyes.
“Run!” I shouted, even as Amanda shot another—her second—and then bolted toward the shore, drawing the others so that I was able to snatch up the flare gun and quickly reload it; so that I was able to pursue them and to shoot one in the back—while Amanda turned and took out the last of them (shooting it in the head so that the back of its skull exploded like a spaghetti dinner thrown against the wall; so that it collapsed, writhing, about 10 feet in front of her—whereupon she quickly approached it and shot it again, just to be sure).
And then she looked at me (as the dead and dying animals lay all around us) and I looked back: our chests heaving; our faces covered in sweat, our worn clothes bloody and disheveled, and I knew that she knew—which was that today we were the predators, the thing needing to be feared—the killers. And that neither of us needed to worry; not about food or other predators or mysterious lights in the sky or anything. Because we were the masters of our fate, we and no one else, not even God. And we were the master of the world’s fate, too.
At which she ran to me and we collided and I held her fast, there on the long jetty in the Atlantic Ocean (in the Bermuda Triangle), there beneath a day moon and the blood-red sky, in an instant in which it was good, so very good, not to be afraid, not to be alone. And as to what may or may not have happened in those breaths, those pulse points between that moment and the next—the next day, the next search, the next milestone; as to that, I offer only a quote from Gandhi: “Speak only if it improves upon the silence.”

With An Apology from Mr. Adam
About the book:With an Apology from Mr. Adam - Mr. Adam of Adam & Eve couple, our first human beings on this earth. We are heirs of Mr. Adam and we have some questions yet to be solved about our human nature. That's why I apologize and ask him as his heir.
About the Author:
If I have to say something about me, then the following my seven answers to the questions asked to me in my long interview by Mr. Darshan Darvesh, a well known Producer, Director, Writer, Poet and above all a Cinematographer, are sufficient:
Q.1. If someone ask me a question that what lovely and precious happiness you have been deprived of till date?
Ans. To this day, sadness has given me happiness and if I have been deprived of any of those sadnesses, then I can say that I have been deprived of that sweet and precious happiness.
Q.2. What was that wonderful thing in life that turned out to be bitter?
Ans. The season of youth ... in these seasons there are loves and in those days the end was only bitterness after love.
Q.3. Which is the most precious thing you lost by fighting with oneself?
Ans. If I would have fought with myself, what was the point of surviving? So everything is handed over in the hands of time. What I have lost or found is never accounted for nor can be.
Q.4. To this day what you have stolen something from the personalities of others?
Ans. If one steals something from the personality of others then he cannot maintain his personality. However, it is better for a person to live according to himself. Crime is born when he dreams of living according to others. So I like myself and am limited within that range.
Q.5. Which dream place you like to visit and often prefer to read, write or hang out?
Ans. I stayed away from my home when serving in the Army and till date after retirement in 1998. So home is the sweetest place to go and be happy and is the sweetest place where I prefer not to go on vacation to write, read or go for a walk. My priority is to think of the house as my home before any creation. I can do one more thing, sleep at home, tired of the hustle and bustle of work. My wife gets tired of waking me up but I don't get tired of sleeping. It would have been nice to live then. Not all people who work far away would have felt the same way but that's what I think.
Q.6. How to be friends with the greatest reader of literature?
Ans. The literary reader is a fan of good works. He also reads and analyzes works. Then he paints a good picture of that author in his life. He considers the author of that work as his friend in his mind. He reads his creations. He thinks maybe he will be like his creation. He becomes a blind believer in that author. He is simply the greatest reader. And friendship with him should be the same as the situation in which he considered the author a friend. The writer should also act as if he were composing, so that the reader finds the same author as the work and stays connected with literature.
Q.7. What are your favorite desires and why?
Ans. I don't have many desires from the beginning. I am satisfied with what is happening. Petting many desires are painful. If most of the desires that have been nurtured remain unfulfilled, then a lot of suffering has to be endured. So why to suffer so much if desires remains incomplete. My needs are small so I am self-sufficient.

Drive Your Plow
In a remote Polish village, Janina devotes the dark winter days to studying astrology, translating the poetry of William Blake, and taking care of the summer homes of wealthy Warsaw residents.

Soon other bodies are discovered, in increasingly strange circumstances. As suspicions mount, Janina inserts herself into the investigation, certain that she knows whodunit. If only anyone would pay her mind . . .
A deeply satisfying thriller cum fairy tale, Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead is a provocative exploration of the murky borderland between sanity and madness, justice and tradition, autonomy and fate. Whom do we deem sane? it asks. Who is worthy of a voice?

Lélektolvajok Sikoltók
Kaylee Cavanaugh majdnem olyan, mint a többi lány a gimiben... Majdnem. Tanul, dolgozik, bulizni jár legjobb barátnőjével, Emmával - és árgus szemekkel figyeli, épp kivel jár az iskola legjobb pasija, Nash Hudson!
Kaylee azonban egy ideje a legváratlanabb pillanatokban velőtrázó sikításban ... Folytatás ›› tör ki, látszólag ok nélkül. Különös viselkedése családját és saját magát is kétségbeejti, s amikor egy este Kaylee sikolyát követően egy fiatal lány holtan esik össze, majd nap mint nap újabb áldozatok követik őt, Kaylee-t nyomasztani kezdi a kérdés: vajon mi köze lehet neki mindehhez?
Kaylee persze szívesebben foglalkozna Nash Hudsonnal. De nem könnyű egy olyan sráccal randizni, aki láthatóan sokkal többet tud a Kaylee-t hatalmába kerítő sötét erőkről és a benne szunnyadó emberfeletti képességekről, mint ő maga...
"Minden egyes lélegzetvételem gyorsabb volt az előzőnél, és sikoly növekedett mélyen a mellkasomban. Összeszorítottam a számat, hogy elfojtsam, fájdalmasan csikorgatva a fogaimat. (...) A poharam kicsúszott a kezemből, és összetört a földön. A vörös hajú lány felsikkantott és hátraugrott, amikor a jéghideg kóla lefröcskölte őt, engem, Nasht és a férfit a tőlem balra lévő széken. De én alig vettem észre a jeges folyadékot és az engem bámulókat. Én csak a lányt láttam, és a sötét, áttetsző árnyékot, amely magába ölelte..."
