Pop Goes the Weasel
A man's body is found in an empty house.
His heart has been cut out and delivered to his wife and children.
He is the first victim, and Detective Inspector Helen Grace knows he will not be the last.
But why would a happily married man be this far from home in the dead of night? . . .
The media call it Jack the Ripper in reverse: a serial killer preying on family men who lead hidden double lives.
Helen can sense the fury behind the murders. But what she cannot possibly predict is how volatile this killer is - or what is waiting for her at the end of the chase . . .
The Mysterious Island (EN)
The Mysterious Island (French: L'Ile mystérieuse) is a novel by Jules Verne, published in 1874. The novel is a crossover sequel to Verne's famous Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and In Search of the Castaways, though thematically it is vastly different from those books. An early draft of the novel, initially rejected by Verne's publisher and wholly reconceived before publication, was titled Shipwrecked Family: Marooned With Uncle Robinson, seen as indicating the influence on the novel of Robinson Crusoe and The Swiss Family Robinson.

The World Set Free
THE WORLD SET FREE was written in 1913 and published early in 1914, and it is the latest of a series of three fantasias of possibility, stories which all turn on the possible developments in the future of some contemporary force or group of forces. The World Set Free was written under the immediate shadow of the Great War. Every intelligent person in the world felt that disaster was impending and knew no way of averting it, but few of us realised in the earlier half of 1914 how near the crash was to us. The reader will be amused to find that here it is put off until the year 1956.Noteworthy for its depiction of fictional ''atomic bombs'' which eerily prefigure the development of real nuclear weapons.

Waits Tom - The Black Rider (2023 Remaster Edition) CD
Thomas Alan Waits (narodený 7. decembra 1949) je americký hudobník, skladateľ, skladateľ a herec. Jeho texty sa často zameriavajú na spodinu spoločnosti a sú prednesené jeho typickým hlbokým, štrkovitým hlasom. V 70. rokoch pôsobil predovšetkým v jazze, no jeho hudba od 80. rokov odrážala väčší vplyv blues, rock, vaudeville a experimentálne žánre. Napriek nedostatku mainstreamového komerčného úspechu Waits ovplyvnil mnohých hudobníkov a získal si medzinárodný kult a bolo o ňom napísaných niekoľko biografií. V roku 2015 sa umiestnil na 55. mieste v rebríčku "100 najlepších skladateľov všetkých čias" časopisu Rolling Stone. V roku 2011 ho uviedli do Rokenrolovej siene slávy.
"The Black Rider" je dvanásty štúdiový album, vydaný v roku 1993 na Island Records, obsahuje štúdiové verzie piesní, ktoré Waits napísal pre hru The Black Rider, ktorú režíroval Robert Wilson a na ktorej sa podieľal William S. Burroughs. Hra vychádza z nemeckej ľudovej rozprávky Der Freischütz od Johanna Augusta Apela, ktorú predtým spracoval do opery Carl Maria von Weber. Hra mala premiéru 31. marca 1990 v divadle Thalia v nemeckom Hamburgu. Jeho svetová premiéra v anglickom jazyku sa odohrala v roku 1998 na medzinárodnom festivale v Edmontone. Album bol remastrovaný Chrisom Bellmanom v Bernie Grundman Mastering z pôvodnej master pásky osobne pod dohľadom Toma Waitsa a Kathleen Brennan.

The Power of Language
Why should we learn more than one language?
Can it change the way we think?
Does it have the power to transform how we see the world?
You may think you speak only one language. In fact, your mind is interpreting multiple codes of communication. Some people speak Spanish, some Mandarin. Some speak poetry, some are fluent in maths. Humans are built for multilingualism.
Drawing on cutting-edge research and theory, delivered with wit and lucid insight, psycholinguist Viorica Marian explores the ways in which the mind uses multiple languages and how, in doing so, we can open the doors to unique forms of creativity, brain health and cognitive control. Every new language we speak - whether it is coding or musical notes, Hindi or Arabic - shapes how we extract and interpret information. It alters what we remember, how we perceive ourselves and those around us, how we feel, the insights we have, the decisions we make and the actions we take.
The Power of Language lays bare how we use different linguistic codes to think about the world - and change our place within it. Empowering and practical, this is the perfect guide for anyone interested in how language really works.

Ambassador 8: The Alabaster Army
Deadly creatures, hostile climate, and that is just the scenery.
For many years, mysterious things have happened on the ice world of Tamer, but when a scientist goes missing from Barresh thought to be on Tamer, Cory is forced to take the issue by the horns.
Problem is, he is dealing with unexpected side effects of his fertility treatment, and, like his Coldi companions, he's lost much of his night vision, and has trouble tolerating low temperatures.
Trouble is, a recent addition to his team has sent shockwaves through his group of loyal companions and things are still sorting themselves out.
Not his healthy self, under-resourced, frozen and half-blind, that's not the best preparation to visit a world where humans are not at the top of the food chain, let alone dealing with enemies who will go to any lengths to hide their activities.

The Bang-Bang Club
The Bang-Bang Club was a group of four young war photographers, friends and colleagues: Ken Oosterbroek, Kevin Carter, Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva, war correspondants during the last years of apartheid, who took many of the photographs that encapsulate the final violent years of racist white South Africa. Two of them won Pulitzer Prizes for individual photos.
Ken, the oldest and a mentor to the others, died, accidentally shot while working; Kevin, the most troubled of the four, committed suicide weeks after winning his Pulitzer for a photograph of a starving baby in the Sudanese famine. Written by Greg and Joao, The Bang-Bang Club tells their uniquely powerful war stories. It tells the story of four remarkable young men, the stresses, tensions and moral dilemmas of working in situations of extreme violence, pain and suffering, the relationships between the four and the story of the end of apartheid. An immensely powerful, riveting and harrowing book, and an invakuable contribution to the literary genre of war photography. An eye-opening book for readers of Susan Sontag.
