Empire of Destruction
The first comparative, comprehensive history of Nazi mass killing - showing how genocidal policies were crucial to the regime's strategy to win the war
Nazi Germany killed approximately 13 million civilians and other non-combatants in deliberate policies of mass murder, mostly during the war years. Almost half the victims were Jewish, systematically destroyed in the Holocaust, the core of the Nazis' pan-European racial purification programme.
Alex Kay argues that the genocide of European Jewry can be examined in the wider context of Nazi mass killing. For the first time, Empire of Destruction considers Europe's Jews alongside all the other major victim groups: captive Red Army soldiers, the Soviet urban population, unarmed civilian victims of preventive terror and reprisals, the mentally and physically disabled, the European Roma and the Polish intelligentsia. Kay shows how each of these groups was regarded by the Nazi regime as a potential threat to Germany's ability to successfully wage a war for hegemony in Europe.
Combining the full quantitative scale of the killings with the individual horror, this is a vital and groundbreaking work.

The Fate of Abraham
As the Cold War faded into history, it appeared to have been replaced by a new conflict - between Islam and the West. Or so we are told. After the events of 9/11 and the advent of the 'war on terror', this narrative seemed prophetic. But, as Peter Oborne reveals in this masterful new analysis, the concept of an existential clash between the two is a dangerous and destructive fantasy.
Based on rigorous historical research and forensic contemporary journalism that leads him frequently into war-torn states and bloody conflict zones, Oborne explains the myths, fabrications and downright lies that have contributed to this pernicious state of affairs. He shows how various falsehoods run deep, reaching back as far as the birth of Islam, and have then been repurposed for the modern day. Many in senior positions in governments across the West have suggested that Islam is trying to overturn our liberal values and even that certain Muslims are conspiring to take over the state, while Douglas Murray claims in his new book that we face a 'War on the West'. But in reality, these fears merely echo past debates, as we continue to repeat the pattern of seemingly wilful ignorance.
With murderous attacks on Muslims taking place from Bosnia in 1995 to China today, Oborne dismantles the falsehoods that lie behind them, and he opens the way to a clearer and more truthful mutual understanding that will benefit us all in the long run.

He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

The novel that set the pattern for the modern Western, Riders of the Purple Sage was first published in 1912, immediately selling over a million copies.

The punishment is halted by the arrival of the hero, Lassiter, a gunman in black leather, who routs the persecutors and then gradually recounts his own history of an endless search for a woman abducted long ago by the Mormons. Secrecy, seduction, captivity, and escape: out of these elements Zane Grey fashioned his magnificent classic of the American West.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

Lopez Jennifer - On The 6 (Reissue) 2LP
"ON THE 6" je debutová nahrávka speváčky a herečky Jennifer Lopez. Názov albumu odkazuje na linku metra, ktorou Jennifer jazdila na a z konkurzov, keď vyrastala v Bronxe. Bola vydaná 1. júna 1999. Jennifer na albume spolupracovala s niekoľkými producentmi vrátane Rodneyho Jerkinsa, Coryho Rooneyho, Dana Shea a jej vtedajšieho priateľa, rappera a nahrávacieho producenta Seana „Puffyho“ Combsa. Z albumu vyšlo päť singlov, z ktorých tri sa dostali do hlavného amerického rebríčka Hot 100. "If You Had My Love" sa v USA umiestnila na prvom mieste, zatiaľ čo "Waiting for Tonight" sa umiestnila na ôsmom mieste. "No Me Ames", balada s Lopezovým vtedy budúcim manželom, dnes už bývalým manželom, Marcom Anthonym, sa nedostala do rebríčka US Hot 100, ale bola hitom v latinskoamerickom rebríčku Billboard, zatiaľ čo "Feelin' So Good" sa dostala na prvé miesto 51 v rebríčku Hot 100 a vyvrcholila na prvom mieste v rebríčku US Dance Club Songs. Piaty a posledný singel „Let's Get Loud“ sa neumiestnil v rebríčku Hot 100, ale stal sa veľkým hitom v niekoľkých ďalších krajinách. V čase vydania albumu niekoľko ďalších latinskoamerických umelcov (vrátane Rickyho Martina, Shakiry a Marca Anthonyho) dosahovalo úspech v mainstreamovej hitparáde Billboard Top 200 albumov a Hot 100 singlovej hitparáde.

CO: V roku 2000 nadviazala pop-punková skupina Iné Kafe spoluprácu s vydavateľstvom Forza a vydala album Je tu niekto? Bol to v poradí tretí štúdiový album skupiny, ktorý sa stal zároveň jej najúspešnejším. Úspech albumu bol podmienený predovšetkým nápaditosťou a originalitou autorsko-interpretačného prejavu skupiny a najmä jej lídra Vratka Rohoňa, ako aj silnou podporou najsilnejšieho dobového lokálneho vydavateľa na Slovensku. Album sa stal platinový, dosiahol predaj vyše 30.000 kópií a priniesol niekoľko veľkých hitov (Úspešne zapojení, Ráno ap.). Je preto prirodzené, že po 20 rokoch sa dostáva na trh aj vo vinylovej reedíci.

Wisdom of the Ancients
THE PERFECT READ FOR TROUBLED TIMES
From the bestselling author of The Story of the British Isles in 100 Places comes this inspiring and beautifully written meditation on the wisdom inherited from our ancestors.
For all we have gained in the modern world, simple peace of mind is hard to find. In a time that is increasingly fraught with complexity and conflict, we are told that our wellbeing relies on remaining as present as possible. But what if the key to being present lies in the past?
In Wisdom of the Ancients, Neil Oliver takes us back in time, to grab hold of the ideas buried in forgotten cultures and early civilizations. From Laetoli footprints in Tanzania to Keralan rituals, stone circles and cave paintings, Oliver takes us on a global journey through antiquity. A master storyteller, drawing on immense knowledge of our ancient past, he distils this wisdom into twelve messages that have endured the test of time, and invites us to consider how these might apply to our lives today. The result is powerful and inspirational, moving and profound.
Gods of the Stadium-Dieux du Stade
The ancient Greeks thought the gods dwelled on Mount Olympus. We can confidently report that they’ve moved to the Paris Rugby stadium! Elaborating on the photographs taken for the popular calendar of the same name, these tantalizing images feature players of the famous international rugby club, the Stade Français Paris, in all their unclothed glory. Tony Duran’s work worships the human form, whether in his sexually charged nude studies, his sensual fashion photography, or his inventive celebrity portraiture. Duran has taken his signature style to Dieux du Stade, where he transforms the athlete into graphic sensual male form.

Monet - The Triumph of Impressionism
No other artist, apart from J. M. W. Turner, tried as hard as Claude Monet (1840-1926) to capture light itself on canvas. Of all the Impressionists, it was the man Cezanne called "only an eye, but my God what an eye!" who stayed true to the principle of absolute fidelity to the visual sensation, painting directly from the object.
It could be said that Monet reinvented the possibilities of color. Whether it was through his early interest in Japanese prints, his time as a conscript in the dazzling light of Algeria, or his personal acquaintance with the major painters of the late 19th century, the work Monet produced throughout his long life would change forever the way we perceive both the natural world and its attendant phenomena. The high point of his explorations was the late series of water lilies, painted in his own garden at Giverny, which, in their approach towards almost total formlessness, are really the origin of abstract art.
This biography does full justice to this most remarkable and profoundly influential artist, and offers numerous reproductions and archive photos alongside a detailed and insightful commentary.

Notre-Dame - A Short History of the Meaning of Cathedrals
'Two days after Notre Dame burned, I flew to Paris to appear on the TV programme La Grande Librairie for a discussion about cathedrals. The following morning I had breakfast at the Hotel Bristol with my French publisher and she asked me to write a short book about Notre Dame and what it means to all of us. She said she would donate the publisher's profits to the rebuilding fund and, if I wished, I could do the same with my royalties. Yes, I said; of course, I'd love to.'
Ken Follett
In aid of the crucial restoration work to restore Paris's great cathedral, Notre-Dame: A Short History of the Meaning of Cathedrals is a moving, short piece of non-fiction celebrating the stunning history of this beloved building, from Ken Follett, author of the multi-million copy selling Kingsbridge series.
A minimum of 50p per copy on each sale of this book will go to the charity La Fondation du Patrimoine.
