Royal Blood - Back To The Water Below CD
KDO: Jedno z nejskloňovanějších jmen současné kytarové scény. Mike Kerr a Ben Thatcher pocházejí z anglického Brightonu. Podobně jako třeba White Stripes nebo The Black Keys hudebně vycházejí z dřevního blues rocku, kritika v souvislosti s nimi nejčastěji používá termín modern garage rock. Royal Blood hrají ve velmi úsporném a unikátním nástrojovém obsazení baskytara a bící. Nepoužívají žádné přednatočené pásky nebo mašinky, přesto dokáží s pomocí pedálových efektů vytvořit plný a opravdu hutný zvuk.

The Great Poets – Percy Bysshe Shelley (EN)
Audiobook The Great Poets – Percy Bysshe Shelley. Idealist, atheist, outcast, political radical and, of course, poet – Percy Bysshe Shelley was, in many ways, the epitome of the Romantic artist. His poetry was an outlet for his passionately-held and highly unpopular beliefs; beliefs which resulted in social exclusion, exile, and possibly even his premature death at the age of twenty-nine.

The Old Testament 14 - Chronicles 2 (EN)
The books of Chronicles were originally one book, as in the case of Samuel and Kings. The Hebrew title is translated the "words of the days", yet the word Chronicles is mainly adopted by a theologian named Jerome who thought that they ought to bear the title from the Greek word for time which is "Chronos".

In The Land Of Retinal Deligh
Since 1994, Juxtapoz Magazine, published in San Francisco, has provided a forum for so called Lo-Brow art-work inspired by comics, hot rods, and popular culture --and has become, in the years since, the most widely read art magazine in the United States. Juxtapoz provides a voice and validation for a brand of artist, like founder Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, Coop, Camille Rose Garcia, Glen Barr, the Clayton Brothers, Isabel Samaras, Joe Coleman, and many, many others, who have not historically been accepted by the typical art-world infrastructure of collector, curator, and critic. However, since its founding, it has become the leverage point for the creation of its own infrastructure that supports Juxtapozian art with galleries around the world, collectors, increasing critical attention, and museum exhibitions at adventurous institutions. This exciting and provocative collection presents a group of artists who rejected traditional rules of the art establishment and created their own canon, known as the Juxtapoz School. Published in conjunction with the Laguna Art Museum for the 2008 exhibition In the Land of Retinal Delights.

The Office
Színfalak mögötti pillantás a The Office / A hivatal sorozatra, a 21. század ikonikus tévéműsorára, az alkotók, a szerzők és a színészek saját szavaival.
Mikor lógtál utoljára Jimmel, Pammel, Dwighttal, Michaellel és a többi Dunder Mifflin-dolgozóval? Talán 2016-ban lehetett, amikor Magyarországon adásba került az utolsó évad fináléja. De az se kizárt, hogy tegnap este, amikor egymás után három epizódot ledaráltál. Az USA-ban 15 éve került a képernyőkre ez a sorozat (Magyarországon 2008-ban), de ma népszerűbb, mint valaha. A rajongóknak csak egy gondjuk van: mit nézzenek, mit olvassanak ezután.
Ez a kötet mindenről beszámol: az ötlet gyökerei a BBC-nél, a kilenc évadon át tartó sikertörténet az USA-ban, és mindehhez egy sor exkluzív interjú és aprólékos kutatás. A harcok az NBC-nél, amikor alig hat epizód után le akarták állítani a sorozatot. Az elvetélt próbálkozás, amikor James Gandolfinit akarták behozni új főnöknek Steve Carell távozása után.
Szívet melengető és felkavaró könyv, amely bemutatja a kulcsepizódok forgatásának körülményeit és azt, ahogyan óriási popkulturális ikon lett egy furcsa, bizarr, Angliából importált, kockázatos ötletből.
Andy Greene a Rolling Stone magazin újságírója, többek közt a Radioheadről, Howard Sternről, Steve Perryről, Stephen Kingről és még sokakról írt cikkeket.
„Amikor Andy Greene meginterjúvolt, életemben először hallottam valakinek a szájából, hogy tévésorozatban játszottam... Egészen addig azt hittem, papírgyárban dolgozom. Ezzel együtt imádtam a könyvet. Nagyon el lett kapva, tele van háttérsztorikkal, amikből megtudtam egy csomó mindent.” - Creed Bratton, színész
„Helyenként szívbemarkoló, máshol nevettető, végig nagyon izgalmas. Az Office-könyv igazi kincsestár, teli részletekkel. Ez sem hiányozhat a rajongói gyűjteményből a DVD-k és a kis műanyagfigurák mellől.” - Jennie Tan, az OfficeTally.com rajongói oldal alapítója
„Kötelező olvasmány. Hihetetlenül szórakoztató. Akik imádják ezt a sorozatot, nem fogják tudni letenni, mert Andy Greene bemutatja az egész folyamatot: az ötlettől a szereplőválogatáson keresztül az írószobáig, a színészek egyes jelenetekkel kapcsolatos kommentárjaiig. Annyi minden kiderül a Dunder Mifflin vállalatról, rengeteg mindent nem is tudtam – márpedig én játszottam a tulajdonost!” - Andy Buckley, színész (szerep szerint: David Wallace)
„Lenyűgöző színfalak mögötti pillantás az Office-ra. Éveken át ez a sorozat volt az otthonom, mégis ebből a könyv

The Reluctant Dragon
The Reluctant Dragon is an 1898 children's story by Kenneth Grahame (originally published as a chapter in his book Dream Days), which served as the key element to the 1941 feature film with the same name from Walt Disney Productions. The story has also been set to music as a children's operetta by John Rutter, with words by David Grant. The story takes place in the Berkshire Downs in Oxfordshire (where the author lived and where, according to legend, St George did fight a dragon). It is Grahame's most famous short story. It is arguably much more well-known than Dream Days itself or the related The Golden Age. It can be seen as a prototype to most modern stories in which the dragon is a sympathetic character rather than a threat.In Grahame's story, a young boy discovers an erudite, mushroom-loving dragon living in the Downs above his home. The two become friends, but soon afterwards the dragon is discovered by the townsfolk, who send for St George to rid them of it.
