We Free the Stars
We Free the Stars is the epic sequel to the smash New York Times-bestselling We Hunt the Flame, by the masterful Hafsah Faizal. Lush, hopeful and devestating, this is the spellbinding conclusion to the Sands of Arawiya duology, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone series.
Darkness surged in his veins. Power bled from her bones.
The battle is over, but the war is just beginning. Low on resources and allies alike, Zafira and Nasir are determined to finish their mission; to restore magic to their kingdom.
But the land teems with the return of an ancient evil, and as Nasir fights to command the magic in his blood, Zafira battles a very different darkness. And yet, in spite of everything, they find themselves falling into a love they can't stand to lose.
Time is running out and if order is to be restored, sacrifices will have to be made . . .
Small Towns in Europe in the 20th and 21st Centuries.
Malá města v Evropě ve dvacátém a na počátku jedenadvacátého století jsou v historickém výzkumu opomíjená. Problematika kulturního dědictví ve vazbě na rozvojové strategie, je téma diskutované ekonomy více než historiky. Kolektivní monografie věnovaná fenoménu malého města, jenž má v Evropě specifickou, byť regionálně velmi diverzifikovanou podobu, se zaměřila na problémy, které řeší ve druhé polovině dvacátého a v první dekádě jednadvacátého století. Města nevýznamná, uprostřed zemědělského venkova či na periferii metropolí, se snaží najít motivaci k překonání ekonomických a sociálních problémů. V pěti kapitolách knihy autorky a autoři sledují malá města v několika málo evropských zemích a analyzují, jak lidé, kteří o městech rozhodují, architekti a urbanisté, přemýšleli o městě a organizovali prostor malých měst. Jedna z cest, kterou města využívají, vede přes zhodnocení kulturního dědictví a jeho využití jako nástroje k motivaci svého rozvoje. Tito lidé chtějí upozornit na své město a učinit z něj centrum regionálního rozvoje. Způsob využívání kulturního dědictví je velmi rozmanitý, jak dokazují výsledky výzkumu badatelů různých oborů. V mezinárodním autorském týmu najdou čtenáři historiky a historičky, sociology, architektky i historika umění, kteří spolupracují v Evropské asociaci pro urbánní historii.

The Ends of the World Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans and Our Quest to Understand Earth’s Past Mass Extinctions
Five times our world has stood on the brink of Armageddon. It's been scorched, frozen, poison-gassed, smothered and pelted by asteroids. We are very lucky to be alive... Over the past decade there has been a revolution in our understanding of global apocalypses. Armed with new technology, scientists have uncovered a myriad of clues in the fossil record about what caused these catastrophes - a record rife with weird and wonderful creatures like dragonflies the size of seagulls and fishes with guillotines for mouths. Diving into deep time, The Ends of the World reveals how these near extinctions gave rise to our modern world and gives us a terrifying glimpse of what may lie ahead.

The book also includes major cultural cornerstones - the secret language of polari, Black and Latine ballroom culture, and the many flags of the community - and the history of LGBTQ+ spaces, from 18th-century "molly houses" to modern "gaybourhoods".
The LGBTQ+ History Book celebrates the long, proud - and often hidden - history of LGBTQ+ people, cultures, and places from around the world.
Pretenders, The - Pretenders 3CD
KDO: Britsko-americká rocková skupina Pretenders byla založena v roce 1978. Iniciátorkou vzniku kapely byla zpěvačka a skladatelka Chrissie Hynde. V osmdesátých letech hned dva z původních čtyř členů Pretenders zemřeli v důsledku požití drog, i proto se sestava souboru několikrát obměnila. V kapele působil například též kytarista Johnny Marr z manchesterských The Smiths. Stylově se tvorba Pretenders dotýká rocku, punk rocku nebo new wave.
CO: Rozšířená reedice prvního alba Pretenders, kterou sestavila sama Chrissie Hynde. 3CD box obsahuje kromě původní nahrávky i nejrůznější demo verze a živé záznamy. Připomeňme, že debut Pretenders pochází z roku 1979.

Xandria - The Wonders Still Awaiting CD
XANDRIA, nemecké ikony symfonického metalu, otvárajú ďalšiu sľubnú kapitolu svojej histórie s netrpezlivo očakávanou novou plnohodnotnou skladbou „The Wonders Still Awaiting“. S novou výkonnou zostavou, ktorú vedie hlavný mozog Marco Heubaum, Xandria pozýva svojich oddaných fanúšikov, aby vstúpili do sveta zázrakov s novými prvkami, pričom nikdy nezabudli na svoje zvukové korene. „The Wonders Still Awaiting“ obsahuje novú vokalistku Ambre Vourvahis, Roberta Klawonn (gitary), Tima Schwarza (basgitara) a Dimitriosa Gatsiosa (bicie). Zvuk „novej“ Xandrie je tvrdší, temnejší a epickejší ako kedykoľvek predtým, no zároveň si zachováva intímne prostredie a širokú škálu emócií. Album je bohatý na rôzne štýly a žánre a približuje sa k filmovému soundtracku a posiela poslucháča na emocionálnu cestu. Popri 40-člennom opernom zbore, autentických keltských nástrojoch, na ktorých hrajú renomovaní hudobníci, a jemných husľových a violončelových príspevkoch Subway To Sally's Ally Storch, nový disk zdobí Bulharský národný rozhlasový detský zbor. O orchestračné party sa postaral Lukas Knöbl, autor hollywoodskych partitúr a spolupracovník mnohých symfonických telies. “The Wonders Still Awaiting” je skvelý comeback jednej z TOP kapiel SYMPHONIC METAL.

The Autumn of the Ace
From the master of historical fiction, this book follows an unforgettable family after the Second World War.
Some bonds are hard to break...
Daniel Pitt was an RAF fighter in the First World War and an espionage agent for the SOE in the Second. Now the conflicts he faces are closer to home.
Daniel's marriage has fractured beyond repair and Daniel's relationship with his son, Bertie, has been a failure since Bertie was a small boy.
But after his brother Archie's death, Daniel is keen for new perspectives. He first travels to Peshawar to bury Archie in the place he loved best, and then finds himself in Canada, avoiding his family and friends back in England. Daniel and Bertie's different experiences of war, although devastating, also bring with them the opportunity for the two to reconnect.
If only they can find a way to move on from the past...

Suffocation - Hymns From The Apocrypha CD
"Suffocation" je americká death metalová skupina založená v roku 1988 v Centereach v New Yorku, ktorú v súčasnosti tvoria hlavný gitarista Terrance Hobbs, basgitarista Derek Boyer, rytmický gitarista Charlie Errigo, bubeník Eric Morotti a spevák Ricky Myers. Kapela sa dostala na výslnie s debutovým albumom Effigy of the Forgotten z roku 1991, ktorý sa stal predlohou pre death metal v 90. rokoch. Odvtedy Suffocation nahrali ďalších sedem albumov. Obsahujú growlované vokály s tlmenými gitarami, rýchle a zložité gitarové riffy a bubnovanie, otvorené tóny akordov a občasné výpadky.
Newyorské death metalové legendy SUFFOCATION vydávajú svoj deviaty plnohodnotný album “Hymns from the Apocrypha”. V koprodukcii Christiana Donaldsona (Shadow Of Intent, Ingested) a s obalom od gréckeho ilustrátora Giannisa Nakosa Vomitory, The Crown) album posúva kapelu až na samú hranicu. „Hymns From The Apocrypha“ je tiež prvým štúdiovým albumom s novým spevákom Rickym Myersom, ktorý je súčasťou SUFFOCATION od roku 2019 a ukázal sa ako dôstojný nástupca Franka Mullena na pódiách po celom svete. V tomto novom Opuse podáva ohromujúci výkon. „Hymns from the Apocrypha“ demonštruje, ako sa SUFFOCATION zvyšuje, keď smerujú k ich 35. výročiu. Nekompromisne brutálne, umelecky odvážne a sluchovo ťažké ako vždy.
Tracklist:
1. Hymns From The Apocrypha
2. Perpetual Deception
3. Dim Veil Of Obscurity
4. Immortal Execration

War and Peas - Funny Comics for Dirty Lovers
"Hilarious, morbid, and sometimes oddly touching, War and Peas is among the best of the best in modern comics. You'll be laughing out loud." - Sarah Andersen, creator of Sarah's Scribbles
"One of the most exciting and funniest webcomics in the world," - Bored Panda
From the creators of the hugely popular Instagram comic War and Peas, this offbeat four-panel comic features a dark, fairy-tale aesthetic and a twist ending each time. War and Peas: Funny Comics for Dirty Lovers combine twisted humor with a beloved cast of characters including the grim reaper (seen here as an unintentionally lethal man of leisure), a robot in hopelessly in love with his scientist creator, and a promiscuous yet self-assured witch. Unlike most webcomic collections, this one tells a story using dozens of never-before-seen comics to chronicle the lives of several different characters and their follies during life, death, and their glorious reunions in the afterlife (and the after-afterlife).
