München
1938: Németország bekebelezte Ausztriát. Most a Szudéta-vidék következik. Hitler háborúra készül, míg az angolok, Chamberlain miniszterelnök vezetésével,a békéért dolgoznak. A helyzet pattanásig feszült, és úgy tűnik, semmi sem tudja visszatartani Európát egy újabb háborútól.
Hugh Legat a brit külügy ifjú reménysége, aki akaratán kívül titkosszolgálati játszmákba keveredik. Régi barátja, a náci bürokráciában dolgozó Paul von Hartmann és társai
elhatározták, hogy megbuktatják Hitlert, ehhez viszont arra van szükségük, hogy a feszült helyzetet rendező Müncheni Konferencia kudarccal végződjön – ez pedig háborút jelentene Anglia és Németország között.

Lacná kniha Dogs Best Friend
One of the first words we learn. Perhaps the best friend we'll have. An animal so much part of our lives that we speak to it like a child and spend small fortunes on its wellbeing and wardrobe.
Dogs and humans: in the last 200 years no inter-species relationship has developed so fast nor come so far.
Dogs accompany us in every walk of life, usually three times a day. How and why did this relationship begin? How has it changed over the centuries? And who's getting the upper hand?
DOG'S BEST FRIEND investigates this unique bond by revisiting some of the most important milestones in our shared journey. It begins with the earliest visual evidence on ancient rock art, and ends at the laboratory that sequenced the first dog genome.
En route we encounter the first Labradoodle in Australia, a misguidedly loyal Akita in Japan, an ill-fated Poodle trainer in the United States, and a hilariously disobedient Romanian rescue dog named Kratu at the Birmingham NEC. We will also meet Corgis and Dorgis at the Palace, the weightless mutniks of the Soviet space programme, a Dalmatian who impersonates Hitler, and an owner who claims his Border Collie can remember the names of more than a thousand soft toys.
If you own or once owned a dog, you will know that our relationship can be as rich, complicated and rewarding as the relationship we have with other humans, and the book reflects this diversity with the aid of trainers, breeders and psychologists. Above all, it explores the extraordinary ability of dogs to enhance so many aspects of our lives.
DOG'S BEST FRIEND is as entertaining as it is informative, as eccentric as it is erudite, and all told with Simon Garfield's irrepressible gift for witty and insightful storytelling.

The Office of Good Intentions. Human(s) Work
Immerse yourself with architects Florian Idenburg and LeeAnn Suen as they journey through a wide-ranging collection of the objects, systems, and buildings that have occupied the American office space since the advent of the internet. Through stories and speculations, Idenburg and Suen expose the relationships between space, work, and people, and explore the intentions that have driven the development of office design for working humans.
In twelve essays, this book examines the spatial typologies and global phenomena that have defined the office in the last half century. Topics include the return of the work club, the rise of the corporate festival, the way of the charismatic guru, the shattering of the time clock, and the design of playgrounds for work. We cycle through Frank O. Gehry's radical, playful spaces for digital nomads in the advertising world, stagger under the weight of stacks of punch cards, feel the fit of our bodies in the Aeron Chair, answer the phone in Hugh Hefner's bed, and scroll through Lil Miquela's feed. Photographic essays by Iwan Baan provide a visual post-occupancy report on a range of canonical office projects, such as Marcel Breuer's IBM campus in Florida and the Ford Foundation's urban garden in Manhattan. Four intervening catalogs offer collections of experimental workplace products, augural advertisements for office building components, digital office components, and renderings of speculative workplaces; each catalog bridges the reality of the office and how we imagine its alternatives.
This book is a theoretical backdrop for architects as much as it is for businesspeople and employees. With curiosity and skepticism, it looks at the spaces and solutions that have been designed for human work, tracing the transformation from work to occupation, from punch cards to "playbor," from today's lived experience to tomorrow's unpredictable, imagined futures.

Charles Dickens emberismerete, kor- és karakterábrázolása, valamint humora kimagasló a világirodalomban. Jelen regénye 1861 óta rabolja el olvasói szívét.

A mennyeknél súlyosabb - Kurt Cobain életrajza
Kurt Cobain 1994. április 5-én lett öngyilkos. Akarata szerint zárta le rövid, dühödt, fájdalmakkal teli, ám termékeny életét. A mennyeknél súlyosabb ezt az életet kíséri végig a szem- és fültanú hitelességével. Szerzője, Charles R. Cross az egykori Rocket zenei magazin szerkesztője belülről ismeri a seattle-i zenei életet, és a kezdetektől közvetlen közelről követhette Kurt Cobain és a Nirvana pályafutását is.
A könyv megírását 4 év kutatómunka és több mint 400 interjú előzte meg. A szerző kivételes hozzáférést kapott Cobain publikálatlan naplóihoz, dalszövegeihez, családi fotóihoz és rengeteg dokumentumhoz, amelyek alapján páratlan részletességgel rekonstruálta az elmúlt évtizedek egyik legnagyobb zenei ikonjának életét az aberdeeni gyerekkortól a híressé váláson át egészen az öngyilkosságig.
Cross az új kiadáshoz írt elő- és utószavában képet ad az első kiadás (6 évvel Kurt Cobain halála után) óta eltelt időszakról is. Megosztja az öngyilkosságot követő vizsgálatok eredményeit, és a zenekarral kapcsolatos olyan történéseket, amelyek mind azt bizonyítják: Kurt Cobain és a Nirvana mind a mai napig komoly hatást gyakorol a közönségre és a zenészekre.
"Az egyik legalaposabb és legmegindítóbb könyv, amit rocksztárról valaha írtak." (Los Angeles Times)

For anyone who appreciates a vintage, retro vibe, this classic California photo book offers 30 removable posters that document the legendary Dogtown and Z-Boys skateboarders with their requisite bleached-blond hair, tanned bodies, tube socks, and Vans sneakers—young outsiders masterfully captured against a sometimes harsh but always sunny Southern California landscape.
IMAGES FROM ICONIC SKATEBOARD BOOK: The beloved images on these 30 frameable posters are drawn from Hugh Holland's iconic Locals Only photography book.
AFFORDABLE FRAMEABLE ART: Posters that evoke a retro vibe are ideal for dorm room décor as well as apartment and home decorating. This affordable volume offers a rare opportunity to collect frameable posters of Holland's images.

A könyvkötő
Képzeld el, hogy ki tudod törölni minden bánatodat. Képzeld el, hogy el tudod felejteni a szenvedéseidet. Képzeld el, hogy el tudsz rejteni egy titkot. Örökre. Emmett Farmer a földeken dolgozik, amikor levél érkezik, hívják, hogy álljon munkába inasként. Egy Könyvkötőnek fog dolgozni – ugyan félelmetes, babonákkal övezett hivatás, amellyel szemben előítéleteket táplálnak az emberek, azonban se Emmett, se a szülei nincsenek abban a helyzetben, hogy visszautasítsák az ajánlatot. Meg fogja tanulni, hogyan kell elkészíteni azokat a gyönyörű köteteket, és mindegyikben foglyul fog ejteni valami egyedülállót: egy-egy emléket. Ha valamit feledni akar az ember, a Könyvkötő segíthet. Ha valamit ki akar törölni, abban is segíthet. A múltad biztonságosan megmarad egy könyvben, és neked soha többé nem jut eszedbe a titkod – akármilyen szörnyű volt is. A könyvkötőmester műhelye alatti kamrában sorakozik rengeteg könyv – és rengeteg emlék –, amelyek rögzítettek, és amelyeket ott tárolnak. Egy nap Emmett döbbenten fedezi fel, hogy az egyik köteten az ő neve áll. A Könyvkötő varázslatos, feledhetetlen regény: egy mindent legyőző szerelem története, amely egyedülálló irodalmi kalandot tartogat. NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW – a szerkesztő ajánlja WATERSTONES Az Év Könyve 2019 – jelölés „Bődületesen jó író” Guardian „Intenzív, letehetetlen... pezsdítő, végtelenül eredeti meseszövésű, érvényes világot teremtő mű” Sunday Times „Olyan szép szerelmi történet, hogy mást sem akar az ember, csak belemerülni...” Stylist „Igazi csemege... gótikus gyönyör: képzeletteli és sötét” The Times „Színtiszta varázslat. Az ember úgy elmerül a történetben, hogy még a saját nevét is elfelejti. Bárcsak én írtam volna.” Erin Kelly, A férfi szerint / A nő szerint szerzője „Az első sortól foglyul ejtett, és nem tudtam szabadulni... Lélegzetelállító!” Ruth Hogan, Az elveszett tárgyak őrzője szerzője Bridget Collins színjátszást tanult a London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arton, előtte pedig irodalomszakos volt a cambridge-i King's College-ban. Hét nagy sikerű ifjúsági könyv szerzője. Két színművét bemutatták, az egyiket az edinburgh-i Fringe fesztiválon. A Könyvkötő az első felnőtteknek írt regénye.

Super Furry Animals - Rings Around The World (20th Anniversary Remastered Edition) 3CD
KDO: Rockově psychedelická skupina Super Furry Animals pochází z Cardiffu, kde byla založena v roce 1993. Mnozí je vedle Manic Street Preachers a Stereophonics považují za nejdůležitější hudební těleso z Walesu.
CO: Páté studiové album velšského kvintetu se po jeho vydání stalo do té doby jejich prodejně neúspěšnějším.

The dazzling new novel from Nicola Yoon, the New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything
Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true.

Falling in love with him won’t be my story.
Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store?for both of us.
The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?

Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me from Succes
The extraordinary and searingly honest personal story of musician Miki Berenyi, revealing the highs and lows of navigating the madness of the '90s music industry.
Rough Trade Book of the Year
Resident Book of the Year
A Rolling Stone Book of the Year
A Mojo Book of the Year
A Sunday Times Book of the Year
Formed in 1988, Lush were part of the London gig scene during one of the most vibrant and creative periods in UK music. Now, Miki Berenyi tells all.
From the bohemian ways of her father's social circle to the privileged glamour of her mother's acting career, Miki's young life was a blur of travel, celebrities and peripatetic schooling. But frequent relocation, parental neglect and the dark presence of her abusive grandmother resulted in crippling shyness, mental-health issues and a vulnerability to exploitation.
The route out of this hole was music - a passion shared by schoolmate Emma Anderson. The teenagers began attending gigs together and would ultimately go on to form Lush. Talented and exuberant, the band became hot property, swiftly transitioning from shoegaze icons to Britpop darlings.
Re-living the tours, recording sessions and music-industry madness they experienced along the way, this uncompromising memoir documents Lush's thrilling rise and untimely fall. Yet at the heart of the book are Miki's own battles: the conflict between her mouthy public persona and her thin-skinned private identity; the trials of being a woman in an infuriatingly male world; the struggle to find a middle ground between 'safe' indie obscurity and 'sell-out' international success. Miki also explores her complicated relationship with Emma - one that has fluctuated between camaraderie and rivalry over the years - and addresses the devastating tragedy that led to the band's split.
Told through frank confession, wry humour and searing emotional honesty, this is the incredible tale of a trailblazing woman and a seminal band.

Gondoltál már arra, mi történne, ha egy napon mindenkinek, kivétel nélkül mindenkinek megmondanád, amit gondolsz róla? Ha az összes e-mailedet, sms-edet, Facebook-üzenetedet őszintén válaszolnád meg, nem köntörfalazva és szépítgetve, hogy az a másiknak is jó legyen?
Zorka, a regény hősnője egy este, felbátorodva és minden mindegy alapon megteszi ezt. Válaszol az üzletfeleinek, barátainak, de még a családtagjainak is.
Másnap reggel Budapesten, mégis új világban ébred, és bár nem számít rá, még egy repülőjegyet is talál a postafiókjában.
Miközben azon gondolkozik, mit tartogat számára az „igazság korszaka”, az új élet, nem sejti, hogy a karibi paradicsomban egy igazi krimibe csöppen.
Gondtalanul napozva egy szigeten koktélozni, miután mindenkinek megmondod a véleményedet – ez egy nagy álom, nem igaz? A valóságban azonban a koktél nem az, aminek látszik, a szigeten pedig több ellenség vár, mint a nagyvárosban, a megszokott életedben.
Fejős Éva új regényében igazságok és hazugságok csapnak össze, és egy izgalmasan induló utazás veszélybe sodor mindent, még Zorka életét is. A varázslatos, sodró lendületű„megmondótörténet” nemcsak az igazság-hazugság kérdéseire keresi a választ, hanem elhozza a szerelmet is, megfűszerezve a Fejős Évától olvasói által már várt és szeretett, izgalmas, csavaros krimiszállal.

Raphael. The Complete Works
Raphael (1483–1520) is considered the most important artist of the Italian High Renaissance alongside Michelangelo and Leonardo. In his short lifetime he created around one hundred paintings and numerous frescoes, including nine fresco cycles, on an unsurpassed variety of themes – from sensual female beauties, antique myths and portraits of wealthy Romans and church dignitaries to history cycles and biblical scenes. He produced altarpieces, as well as designing tapestries for the Sistine Chapel and directing the construction of St Peter’s Basilica. His Sistine Madonna is one of the most frequently reproduced religious paintings of all time.
Raphael was a tireless learner, for whom there could be no standing still, no repetition of tried and tested solutions, but only the constant forward thrust of an inexhaustible imagination. He transformed his central theme, the visionary experience of divine grace, into visible pictorial reality. It was his mature work in Rome, and above all the frescoes in the Vatican Palace, that secured him his place in art history. Admired even during his own lifetime as the most modern artist of his day, Raphael’s mastery would pave the way for Mannerism and the Baroque era.
This XXL edition is the most comprehensive work published on Raphael. The volume encompasses in total 112 paintings and all the frescoes, architectural projects and tapestries in many new photographs and numerous details, as well as the most extensive catalogue raisonné of the artist’s oeuvre.
