The Science of the Earth
Astonishing, studio-quality photographs of beautiful objects and specimens bring every corner of the planet, from core to atmosphere, to the printed page
Elegant design combined with beautiful images to explore and explain Earth's natural riches.
This is an informative, visually arresting introduction to planet Earth. The core of the book features large, detailed photographs of single objects, many of them small enough to be held in the hand, that each speak volumes about an aspect of Earth's environments and how they work. For example, bubbles of ancient air trapped inside an Antarctic ice core reveal how Earth's climate has changed over time. A piece of pumice thrown several miles into the air by a volcano helps to explain what happens when tectonic plates collide.
The book is structured around an imaginary journey that takes the reader from the inner core to Earth's surface (including both land and oceans) and up to the top of the atmosphere. Taking in environments such as grasslands, forests, and reefs, the coverage includes both living and inanimate realms. Feature spreads each throw a spotlight on an iconic place, such as the Amazon Rainforest or the Dead Sea, or a particular process, such as glacial erosion.
Many of the most fascinating parts of the natural world are beyond reach. This beautiful, informative book brings them up-close and within our grasp.

Policajti v anekdotách
Koľko existuje vtipov o policajtoch?
- Ani jeden! Všetko, čo sa o nich hovorí, je čistá pravda.
Téma „policajtov“ je veľmi vďačná humorná téma. Už od nepamäti lákala humoristov a satirikov. Stačí si spomenúť na nemé grotesky s „Keystonskými policajtmi“, ktoré zabávali generácie divákov na celom svete. Tam často šialenou rýchlosťou naháňali stovky policajtov jedného domnelého zločinca, ktorý im aj tak úspešne unikol. A stačí spomenúť Luisa de Funésa v úlohe žandára zo Saint-Tropez, či súčasný úspešný televízny sitkom Profesionáli. V nej sú typické postavy policajtov podľa vzoru: hlúpy, hlúpejší a najhlúpejší.
Prečo si všetci tak masovo uťahujeme práve z tejto skupiny profesií? Lebo ľudia sa radi zabávajú na téme strážcov zákona a majú radi anekdoty o policajtoch. Vravia aj niečo o nás, o stave našej spoločnosti a morálky v nej. Radi si uťahujeme z vážnych autorít, veď policajt je strážca zákona. Ruku na srdce, každý z nás sa dopustil nejakého dopravného priestupku, či už ako šofér alebo chodec. A nikto z nás rád neplatí pokuty.
Téma policajných anekdot je veľmi vďačná a funguje i v okolitých národoch. Niekde sú úplne rovnaké, lebo sú v nej večné témy: ľudská hlúposť, morálka, sex a politika, skrátka sú o živote. Zasmejete, pobavíte sa na nich a zrelaxujete, a preto vám anekdoty v tejto knižke vrele odporúčame.
Kniha je rozdelená do viacerých kapitol, kde sú podľa témy uverejnené anekdoty a karikatúry: policajná akadémia, policajti a blondínky, otázky a odpovede o policajtoch, policajti a rodina, policajti a alkohol, dopravní policajti, policajti kriminalisti, policajti v akcii, policajti v spoločnosti, policajti a lekári, policajti na cestách, policajti v obchode, policajti a Cigáni a úsmevné príhody o skutočných policajtoch. Do tejto kapitoly prispelo veľa známych osobností, spisovateľov, hudobníkov, humoristov, novinárov, mnohí z nich sú členmi prestížneho PI klubu.

The Rebel and the Kingdom
The wild story of a college activist's high-stakes attempt to topple the North Korean regime and change the world.
In the early 2000s, Adrian Hong was a soft-spoken Yale undergraduate looking for his place in the world. After reading a harrowing account of life inside North Korea, he realized he had found a cause so pressing that he was ready to devote his life to it. What began as a trip down the safe and well-worn path of organizing soon morphed into something more dangerous. Hong journeyed to China, outwitting Chinese security services as he helped ferry asylum-seeking North Korean escapees to safety.
Meanwhile, Hong's secret organization, Cheollima Civil Defense (later renamed Free Joseon), began tracking the North Korean government's activities, and its volatile third-generation ruler, Kim Jong Un. Free Joseon targeted North Korean diplomats who might be persuaded to defect, while drawing up plans for a government-in-exile. After the shocking broad-daylight assassination in 2017 of Kim Jong Nam, the dictator's older brother, Hong, along with Marine veteran Christopher Ahn, helped ferry Nam's family to safety. Then Hong took the group a step further. He initiated a series of high-stakes direct actions, culminating in an armed raid at the North Korean embassy in Madrid-an act that would put Ahn behind bars and turn Hong into one of the world's most unlikely fugitives.
In the tradition of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, The Rebel and the Kingdom is an exhilarating account of a man who turns his back on the status quo-to instead live boldly by his principles. Acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Bradley Hope-who broke numerous details of Hong's operations in The Wall Street Journal-now reveals the full contours of this remarkable story of idealism and insanity, hubris and heroism, all set within the secret battle for the future of the world's most mysterious and unsettling nation.

Adventures in Time: The Fall of the Aztecs
Take a journey to a vanished world with the ADVENTURES IN TIME series - stories so exciting you won't believe they're all true
'An invisible tremor ran through the Aztecs on the rooftops, a breathless gasp of excitement. On the edge of the city the drummers struck up their rhythm. They were coming...'
With its vast cities, soaring pyramids and glittering treasure, the Aztec Empire was one of the greatest civilizations in the world, at once beautiful and terrible. At its head was the Emperor Montezuma, master of millions, who spoke with the voice of the gods and fed the sun with the blood of his prisoners. Yet Montezuma was troubled by terrifying omens. And when Spanish explorers landed on his shore to seek their fortunes, nothing would ever be the same again...
The Adventures in Time series brings the past alive for twenty-first century children. These stories are every bit as exciting as those of Harry Potter or Matilda Wormwood. The only difference is they actually happened...
The Librarian of Auschwitz: The Graphic Novel
The Librarian of Auschwitz is ideal for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Choice, this graphic novel is the story of the smallest library in the world - and the most dangerous. Based on a true story, it is an extraordinary novel of courage and hope by Antonio Iturbe and Loreto Aroca.
'It wasn't an extensive library. In fact, it consisted of eight books and some of them were in poor condition. But they were books. In this incredibly dark place, they were a reminder of less sombre times, when words rang out more loudly than machine guns . . .'
Fourteen-year-old Dita is one of the many imprisoned by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Taken, along with her mother and father, from the Terezin ghetto in Prague, Dita is adjusting to the constant terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish leader Freddy Hirsch asks Dita to take charge of the eight precious books the prisoners have managed to smuggle past the guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes the secret librarian of Auschwitz, responsible for the safekeeping of the small collection of titles, as well as the 'living books' - prisoners of Auschwitz who know certain books so well, they too can be 'borrowed' to educate the children in the camp.
But books are extremely dangerous. They make people think. And nowhere are they more dangerous than in Block 31 of Auschwitz, the children's block, where the slightest transgression can result in execution, no matter how young the transgressor . . .
Based on the incredible and moving true story of Dita Kraus, holocaust survivor and secret librarian for the children's block in Auschwitz.
The Making of the Modern Middle East
Jeremy Bowen, the International Editor of the BBC, has been covering the Middle East since 1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled present.
In The Making of the Modern Middle East – in part based on his acclaimed podcast, ‘Our Man in the Middle East’ – Bowen takes us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic control.
With his deep understanding of the political, cultural and religious differences between countries as diverse as Erdogan’s Turkey, Assad’s Syria and Netanyahu’s Israel and his long experience of covering events in the region, Bowen offers readers a gripping and invaluable guide to the modern Middle East, how it came to be and what its future might hold.

Soundtrack - Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker CD
„John opět přišel s naprosto dechberoucím soundtrackem a vytvořil úchvatné, děsivé, záhadné i intimní melodie, a zároveň vytvořil i nové aranže svých dobře známých klasických melodií,” přibližuje režisér Star Wars J. J. Abrams. „George Lucas mi dal jedinečnou příležitost pracovat na jednom projektu nepřetržitě po čtyři dekády, a za to jsem mu nesmírně vděčný. Ke každému filmu jsem mohl vytvořit unikátní hudbu, která dohromady tvoří jeden kompaktní celek,” doplňuje Williams.
Případ levného bytu - The Adventure of the Cheap Flat

V povídce Záhada lovecké chaty brání Herculu Poirotovi chřipka zúčastnit se vyšetřování případu. Dokáže ovšem sám Hastings zjistit, proč cizinec, který navštívil pana Pace před jeho zavražděním, odešel oknem? V povídce Cikánka má Dickie Carpenter fóbii z cikánů, vyplývající z tajemného prožitku z dětství. Má se nového setkání znovu obávat, nebo může být tentokrát jeho spásou?
