The Rearranged Life of Oona Lockhart
If you knew your future, would you change your past?
Brooklyn, 1982. Oona Lockhart is about to celebrate her 19th birthday and ring in the New Year. But at the stroke of midnight, she is torn from her friends and boyfriend, finding herself in her fifty-one-year-old body, thirty-two years into the future.
Greeted by a friendly stranger, Oona learns that on every birthday she will enter a different year of her adult life at random.
Still a young woman on the inside, but ever changing on the outside, who will she be next year? Wealthy philanthropist? Nineties Club Kid? World traveller? Wife to a man she's never met?
While Oona gets glimpses of the future and thinks she knows what's to come, living a normal life is challenging. As she struggles between fighting her fate and accepting it, Oona must learn to navigate a life that's out of order - but is it broken?
Margarita Montimore's whip-smart debut is an uplifting joyride through an ever-changing world that shows us the endurance of love, the timelessness of family and what it means to truly live in the moment.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane: Illustrated Edition
This is what he remembers, as he sits by the ocean at the end of the lane:
A dead man on the back seat of the car, and warm milk at the farmhouse.
An ancient little girl, and an old woman who saw the moon being made.
A beautiful housekeeper with a monstrous smile.
And dark forces woken that were best left undisturbed.
They are memories hard to believe, waiting at the edge of things. The recollections of a man who thought he was lost but is now, perhaps, remembering a time when he was saved...

Sport Architecture: Design Construction Management of Sport Infrastructure
The history of civilisation and places conveys the importance of the role the culture of sport and a cultivated management of leisure play in the definition of the identity of peoples and communities. Elevating such realms to the status of cultural assets to be shared and enhanced by analysing the dynamics of transformation of the city and territory related to them is a sensible, necessary and ethical correct action. The context of European architecture shows an increasing number of plans that both transform existing facilities and create new ones with a defining and strategic role in the development of urban landscape fabrics.
Activating basic and permanent theoretical discussion is a fundamental and strategic action for the credibility and professional values of a sector that powerfully conveys the need to update and retrain its technical, executive and managerial personnel through a renewed cultural approach. The goal of this book is promoting awareness about the design enhancement of sport infrastructures as collective assets capable of developing identity and citizenship, through the analysis of both physical immaterial factors and of the personnel charged with their conception, construction and management. Within contemporary architecture, the design of facilities for sport practises provides and extraordinary opportunity for the the adaptation and strategic reevaluation of the environment and its paradigmatic places.
At the same time, sport infrastructures provide a crucial opportunity for architectural, design and technological experimentation - exploring their core features and enhance their potential is the main goal of this book.

Out Of Egypt
'[A] mesmerizing portrait of a now vanished world. Aciman's story of Alexandria is the story of his own family, a Jewish family with Italian and Turkish roots that tied its future to Egypt and made its home there for three generations, only to find itself peremptorily expelled by the Government in the early 1960's. It is the story of a fractious clan of dreamers and con men and the emotional price they would pay for exile, the story of a young boy's coming of age and his memories of the city he loved in his youth.
Writing in lucid, lyrical prose, Mr. Aciman does an exquisite job of conjuring up the daily rhythms and rituals of his family's life: their weekly trips to the movies, their daily jaunts to the beach, their internecine squabbles over everything from religion to money to the pronunciation of words. There are some wonderfully vivid scenes here, as strange and marvelous as something in Garcia Marquez, as comical and surprising as something in Chekhov.' Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

The Collector of Leftover Souls
Welcome to the favela, welcome to the rainforest, welcome to the real Brazil.
This is the Brazil where a factory worker is loyal to his company for decades, only to find out that they knew the product he was making would eventually poison him. This is the Brazil where the mothers of the favela expect their sons to die as victims of the drug trade while still in their teens. This is the Brazil where the women initiated into the old Amazonian tradition of 'baby-pulling' deliver babies in their own time, far away from the drugs and scalpels of the modern hospital. In the company of award-winning journalist Eliane Brum, we meet the individuals struggling to stay afloat in a society riven by inequality and violence, and witness the resilience of spirit and commitment to life that makes Brazil one of the most complicated, most exhilarating places on earth.

The Ascent of Money
Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot. Call if what you like, it matters now more than ever. In The Ascent of Money, Niall Ferguson shows that financial history is the back-story to all history.
From the banking dynasty who funded the Italian Renaissance to the stock market bubble that caused the French Revolution, this is the story of booms and busts as it's never been told before.
With the world in the grip of the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, there's never been a better time to understand the ascent - and descent - of money.
'Beautifully written ... Breathtakingly clever' Sunday Telegraph
'A lucid and racy account of financial history' New Statesman
'A fine, readable and entertaining history' Dominic Sandbrook, Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year
'The tales he tells of boom and bust, of triumph and disaster, of bubbles that inflate ... are the very essence of financial history' Bill Emmott, Financial Times
'An often enlightening and enjoyable tour through the underside of great events, a lesson in how the most successful great powers have always been underpinned by smart money' Robert Skidelsky, New York Review of Books
Dawn of the Aspects - World of Warcraft
THE AGE OF DRAGONS IS OVER. Uncertainty plagues Azeroth's ancient guardians as they struggle to find a new purpose. This dilemma has hit Kalecgos, youngest of the former Dragon Aspects, especially hard. Having lost his great powers, how can he-or any of his kind-still make a difference in the world? The answer lies in the distant past, when savage beasts called proto-dragons ruled the skies. Through a mysterious artefact found near the heart of Northrend, Kalecgos witnesses this violent era and the shocking history of the original Aspects: Alexstrasza, Ysera, Malygos, Neltharion, and Nozdormu. In their most primitive forms, the future protectors of Azeroth must stand united against Galakrond, a bloodthirsty creature that threatens the existence of their race. But did these mere proto-dragons face such a horrific adversary alone, or did an outside force help them? Were they given the strength they would become legendary for ...or did they earn it with blood? Kalecgos's discoveries will change everything he knows about the events that led to the ...DAWN OF THE ASPECTS
Dominion - The Making of the Western Mind
Christianity is the most enduring and influential legacy of the ancient world, and its emergence the single most transformative development in Western history. Even the increasing number in the West today who have abandoned the faith of their forebears, and dismiss all religion as pointless superstition, remain recognisably its heirs. Seen close-up, the division between a sceptic and a believer may seem unbridgeable. Widen the focus, though, and Christianity's enduring impact upon the West can be seen in the emergence of much that has traditionally been cast as its nemesis: in science, in secularism, and yes, even in atheism.
That is why Dominion will place the story of how we came to be what we are, and how we think the way that we do, in the broadest historical context. Ranging in time from the Persian invasion of Greece in 480 BC to the on-going migration crisis in Europe today, and from Nebuchadnezzar to the Beatles, it will explore just what it was that made Christianity so revolutionary and disruptive; how completely it came to saturate the mind-set of Latin Christendom; and why, in a West that has become increasingly doubtful of religion's claims, so many of its instincts remain irredeemably Christian. The aim is twofold: to make the reader appreciate just how novel and uncanny were Christian teachings when they first appeared in the world; and to make ourselves, and all that we take for granted, appear similarly strange in consequence. We stand at the end-point of an extraordinary transformation in the understanding of what it is to be human: one that can only be fully appreciated by tracing the arc of its parabola over millennia.

The Government of No One
'The standard book on anarchism for the twenty-first century. Written with brio, quiet insight and clarity' Carl Levy
A magisterial study of the history and theory of one of the most controversial political movements
Anarchism routinely gets a bad press. It's usually seen as meaning chaos and disorder -- or even nothing at all. And yet, from Occupy Wall Street to Pussy Riot, Noam Chomsky to David Graeber, this philosophical and political movement is as relevant as ever. Contrary to popular perception, different strands of anarchism -- from individualism to collectivism -- do follow certain structures and a shared sense of purpose: a belief in freedom and working towards collective good without the interference of the state.
In this masterful, sympathetic account, political theorist Ruth Kinna traces the tumultuous history of anarchism, starting with thinkers and activists such as Peter Kropotkin and Emma Goldman and through key events like the Paris Commune and the Haymarket affair. Skilfully introducing us to the nuanced theories of anarchist groups from Russia to Japan to the United States, The Government of No One reveals what makes a supposedly chaotic movement particularly adaptable and effective over centuries -- and what we can learn from it.

Lacná kniha The State of Secrecy (-70%)
Richard Norton-Taylor reveals the secrets of his forty-year career as a journalist covering the world of spies and their masters in Whitehall. Early in his career, Norton-Taylor successfully campaigned against official secrecy, gaining a reputation inside the Whitehall establishment and the outside world alike for his relentless determination to expose wrongdoing and incompetence. His special targets have always been the security and intelligence agencies and the Ministry of Defence, institutions that often hide behind the cloak of national security to protect themselves from embarrassment and being held to account.
Encouraged by his trusted contacts in intelligence agencies and Whitehall departments, Norton-Taylor was among the first of the few journalists consistently to attack the planned invasion of Iraq in 2003 and subsequently covered for the Guardian the devastating evidence of every witness to the Chilcot inquiry. He also enjoyed unique access to a wide array of defence sources, giving him a rare insight into the disputes among top military commanders as they struggled to fight wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with under-resourced and ill-equipped troops. Described by a former senior Intelligence official as a 'long-term thorn in the side of the intelligence establishment', and winner of numerous awards for his journalism, Norton-Taylor is one of the most respected defence and security journalists of his generation.
Provocative, and rich in anecdotes, The State of Secrecy is an illuminating, critical and, at times, provocative account of the author's experiences investigating the secret world.

Tomáš Klus
Tomáše Kluse lze označit za zjevení v české populární hudbě. Nebudeme se přít o jeho žánrové zařazení, na to jsou tady hudební kritici. Faktem zůstává, že jeho raketový start nemá obdoby. Po dvou prvních albech přichází v roce 2011 album Racek, z něhož si provokativní píseň "Pánubohudooken" notuje celý národ. Jako jeden z mála písničkářů zpívá o české politické scéně, a když píseň zazní na Českém slavíku 2011, kdy skončí hned za ikonou Gottem druhý, přihlížející hvězdy i hvězdičky ztrácejí lesk. Státní opera je jako opařená! O rok později (2012) Českého slavíka vyhraje. Sám velký Karel Gott, jakýsi nesmrtelný český Elvis, jako jediný v sále Tomášovi zatleská vestoje! "Jeho vítězství je obrazem nálady mezi lidmi, atmosféry ve společnosti. A je to vítězství zasloužené, protože texty jeho písní mluví lidem z duše." Racek odstartuje jeho masovou popularitu, Tomáš Klus začne sklízet jednu cenu za druhou - Anděly, Ceny Žebřík, Ceny Óčko, umisťuje se v anketě TýTý… Má několik zlatých a platinových desek, a když vydá v roce 2014 ve svém vlastním vydavatelství album Proměnamě, ovládne 65% tuzemského trhu s hudbou! Jeho deska je nejpodávanější. Neuvěřitelné. To už je ale jiný Tomáš Klus - mezitím potkal svou životní lásku, oženil se s ní, narodila se mu dcera, a toto setkání se Štěstím ho zcela proměnilo, zejména jeho pohled na život i životní filozofii. Tomáš Klus vyspěl a dozrál. Proměnamě je toho svými tématy i jiným, barvitějším hudebním vyjádřením důkazem. Jeho zrání ovšem nekončí. Když koncem června 2015 spatří světlo světa album ANAT život není, je jasné, že Tomáš ve svém vnímání světa i sebe samého došel ještě dál - už nehovoří o prohnilosti politiky, jeho písně se dotýkají osudu planety z pohledu ekologického i protiválečného. Na podzim fanoušky překvapí zprávou, že si až do října 2016 dává tvůrčí pauzu. To tíha témat poslední desky ho zmohla? Jak sám říká, spíše chce začít žít podle pravdy svých vlastních písní. Svou roli hraje i skutečnost, že s manželkou Tamarou čekají druhé dítě. Bude to krásný dárek k Tomášovým třicetinám... Ponořme se do úžasného příběhu jednoho z nejtalentovanějších Čechů naší doby.
The Magic of Handwriting
History Marked by Hand
An extraordinary collection of handwritten documents
Handwriting works magic: it transports us back to defining moments in history, creativity, and everyday life, and intimately connects us with the people who marked the page. For nearly half a century, Brazilian author and publisher Pedro Correa do Lago has been assembling one of the most comprehensive autograph collections of our age, acquiring thousands of handwritten letters, manuscripts, and musical compositions as well as inscribed photographs and drawings.
From an 1153 document signed by four medieval popes to a 2006 thumbprint signature by physicist Stephen Hawking, the items illustrated here span nearly nine hundred years, and along the way bring us up close and personal with the writers, artists, composers, political figures, performers, explorers, scientists, philosophers, rebels, and more whose actions and creations have made an indelible mark on humankind.
Rather than focusing on a single era or subject, Correa do Lago made the ambitious decision to divide his collection into nine areas of human endeavor?art, history, literature, science, music, the performing arts, philosophy, and exploration. On display for the very first time at the Morgan Library, some 140 extraordinary selections gathered in this book include letters by Lucrezia Borgia, Vincent van Gogh, and Emily Dickinson, annotated sketches by Michelangelo, Jean Cocteau, and Charlie Chaplin, and manuscripts by Giacomo Puccini, Jorge Luis Borges, and Marcel Proust.
Handwriting is one of the most visceral means by which we leave tracks of our existence. At a time when information and communication have become utterly immaterial, this collection is a seed bank of humanity’s gifts, exploring its most eclectic nuances while transmitting its owner’s unbridled pleasure of being a member, a guardian, and an enthusiastic promoter of our collective story.
