How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch
Inspired by Sagan's famous line, How To Make An Apple Pie From Scratch sets out on a journey to unearth everything we know about our universe: how it started, how we found out, and what we still have left to discover.
Will we ever be able to understand the very first moments of the world we inhabit? What is matter really made of? How did anything survive the fearsome heat of the Big Bang?
In pursuit of answers, we meet the scientists, astronomers and philosophers who brought us to our present understanding of the world - offering readers a front-row seat to the most dramatic journey human beings have ever embarked on.
Harry Cliff's How To Make An Apple Pie From Scratch is an essential, fresh and funny guide to how we got to where we are now - and what we have to come.

ONE VICTORIAN CITY. ONE MAGICAL UPRISING. ONE BOY CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL.
A dark Victorian fantasy adventure you won’t be able to put down.
Fate has never been kind to twelve-year-old Toby. Not when he was abandoned on the steps of a workhouse as a baby. Nor when he escaped into the magical underworld that hides in London’s shadows. But when the futures of thousands of lives come to rest in his hands, Toby quickly realises that perhaps fate had a good reason. Perhaps it was preparing him.
As the peacekeeper between both worlds, human and magic, can he find the inner strength to become a hero or does fate have darker intentions?

Ha az ERDŐ beszélni tudna - Tudnivalók kíváncsi erdőbarátoknak és tettre kész klímaaktivistáknak
Erdő. Mindössze négy betű. Ennek a négy betűnek olyan hatalma van boldogulásunkra és boldogságunkra, melyet nem könnyű szavakkal leírni. Aki viszont megízleli ezt az örömforrást és életérzést, az tovább akarja adni. Neked. Nekünk. Mindenkinek. Az utókornak.
Az erdők még mindig tele vannak rejtélyekkel, még mindig rengeteg megfejtenivalót tartogatnak a tudósok számára. De bármi, ami eddig kiderült róluk, az csak értéket adott az emberiségnek. Ezekbe a rejtélyekbe kémlelünk bele, hogy kiderüljön: az erdő nem tud elvenni, csak adni. Önzetlenül és örökké. Nyugodtan bízzuk rá magunkat! Ám a legfontosabb, hogy az erdőt meg is kell védeni, és ez csak rajtunk múlik. Erről szól ez a könyv.
Az ismeretterjesztő kötethez közel száz önkéntes járult hozzá munkájával, fotóival vagy átütő erejű szavaival.
A könyveladásokból befolyó teljes nyereséget a hazai természetvédelem számára ajánlotta fel a szerző.
Részlet:
"Amikor véletlenek hosszú sora után egy makk kicsírázik, még nem tudja, hogy történelmet ír. Ha jókor volt jó helyen, ha megtalálta a tökéletes pillanatot, akkor gyökeret ereszt. Aztán kihajt, és ha egyetlen éhes vad sem jár arra, akkor nekilát meghódítani a meg örökölt teret. Eltelik tíz év. Eltelik száz év. Esetleg ezer. Elkerülték háborúk, kórságok, de még a fázó családok is. Több évszázad megpróbáltatásai után is teszi a dolgát. Hűt, fűt, portalanít és oxigént ad. Évszakokat felügyel, esőt hoz. Átölel embert s állatot. De vajon hogyan képes ellátni mindennel az embert? Honnan van mindehhez ereje? És mi lesz a sorsa a korszakokon átívelő históriának?"

Szicíliai utazások
Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz (1894-1980) négy alkalommal is Nobel-díjra jelölt, XX. századi klasszikus lengyel regényíró, költő, esszéista. Szicíliai utazások című könyvében három, egymáshoz szorosan, harmonikusan kapcsolódó szál fut végig ? az esztétikai elmélkedések, a történelmi és társadalmi reflexiók, valamint a személyes emlékek szála.
Emlékeket volt miből merítenie, hiszen több mint harmincszor járt Olaszországban és tizenhárom alkalommal Szicíliában, főleg a harmincas években, majd pedig a II. világháborút követően. Milánó, Velence, Siena, Firenze után jut el Szicíliába, ami lehetővé teszi a tágabb perspektíva felrajzolását, így művében az utazás mint humanista kaland jelenik meg, amit az olasz és lengyel valóság, művészet párhuzamba állítása tesz egyedivé.
"És Szicília csodálatos világát mindazon keresztül szemlélni, amit a hazánkban átélünk, mindazon keresztül, amit gondolunk és érzünk, amihez kapcsolódunk – ez igazi gyönyörűség. Két kezünket a valóság két szárnyára téve – a valóságos, mindennapi, fárasztó életre, és a távoli utazás káprázatos díszletére, megérezni, ahogy ez a két valóság összefonódik, összekapcsolódik, egybeolvad a Capella Palatina teljességéhez hasonlóan – ez az igazi értéke egy távoli utazásnak."
