Norse America
The story of the Vikings in North America as both fact and fiction, from the westward expansion of the Norse across the North Atlantic in the tenth and eleventh centuries to the myths and fabrications about their presence there that have developed in recent centuries.
Tracking the saga of the Norse across the North Atlantic to America, Norse America sets the record straight about the idea that the Vikings 'discovered' America. The journey described is a continuum, with evidence-based history and archaeology at one end, and fake history and outright fraud at the other. In between, there lies a huge expanse of uncertainty: sagas that may contain shards of truth, characters that may be partly historical, real archaeology that may be interpreted through
the fictions of the saga, and fragmentary evidence open to responsible and irresponsible interpretation.
Norse America is a book that tells two stories. The first is the westward expansion of the Norse across the North Atlantic in the tenth and eleventh centuries, settling in Greenland and establishing a shore station at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland (to which a chapter of the book is devoted) and ending (but not culminating) in a fleeting and ill-documented presence on the shores of the North American mainland. The second is the appropriation and enhancement of the westward
narrative by Canadians and Americans who want America to have had white North European origins, who therefore want the Vikings to have 'discovered' America, and who in the advancement of that thesis has been willing to twist and manufacture evidence in support of claims grounded in an ideology of racial
Lacná kniha McCall Smith - Tea Time for the Traditionally Buil (-25%)
It is a troublesome fact on which even Mma Ramotswe and her assistant Mma Makutsi agree: there are things that men know and ladies do not, and vice versa. It is unfortunate, for example, when Mma Ramotswe's newest client is the big-shot owner of the ailing Kalahari Swoopers, that one thing lady detectives know very little about is football. And when the glamorous Violet Sephotho sets her sights on Mma Makutsi's unsuspecting fiance, it becomes exasperatingly clear that some men do not know how to recognise a ruthless Jezebel even when she is bouncing up and down on the best bed in the Double Comfort Furniture Shop. In her attempt to foster understanding between the sexes and find the traitor on Mr Football's team, Mma Ramotswe ventures into new territory, drinks tea in unfamiliar kitchens and learns to trust in the observational powers of small boys. And, as wise and warm-hearted as his heroine, Alexander McCall Smith reminds us that we must dig deep to uncover the goodness of the human heart.

Nina Simone's Gum
From award-winning musician and composer Warren Ellis comes the unexpected and inspiring story of a piece of chewing gum.
FEATURING AN INTRODUCTION BY NICK CAVE
I hadn't opened the towel that contained her gum since 2013. The last person to touch it was Nina Simone, her saliva and fingerprints unsullied. The idea that it was still in her towel was something I had drawn strength from. I thought each time I opened it some of Nina Simone's spirit would vanish. In many ways that thought was more important than the gum itself.
On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave's Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr Simone's piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, a conduit that would eventually take Ellis back to his childhood and his relationship with found objects, growing in significance with every passing year.
Nina Simone's Gum is about how something so small can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process, friendship, understanding and love.
Álmaim hercege
„A románcok koronázatlan királya.” – Laurelin Paige bestsellerszerző
Ha egy playboyt akarsz jó útra téríteni, lehet, hogy végül te leszel a játékszere
Az volt a feladatom, hogy helyreállítsam a hírnevét, és feleséget találjak neki. Azt hittem, könnyű lesz, de Aramis herceggel kapcsolatban semmi nem az.
Már majdnem feladtam, amikor előrukkolt a megoldással: úgy teszünk, mintha én lennék a barátnője. Ha Aramis valamit a fejébe vesz, teljesen felesleges vitatkozni. Elfogadom az ajánlatát, de határt szabok. Csakhogy Aramis folyton feszegeti őket. Mielőtt bármelyikünkben tudatosulna a változás, hirtelen elmosódnak a határok. Már nem tudom, mi a valóság és mi az, amit csak megjátszunk.
Az egy dolog, hogy a munkám forog kockán – nagyobb baj, hogy a szívem is.
A New York Times bestsellerszerző, Claire Contreras egy olyan Franciaországba repíti az olvasót, ahol a nagy dinasztiák nem szűntek meg uralkodni, sarjaik pedig hatalmasnak és ellenállhatatlannak születnek. A Kékvérűek második kötetében egy elbűvölően arcátlan herceg teszi próbára az erkölcsöket.

„Brutális, mégis gyönyörű és érzelmes.” – Beyond the Covers A csókja, mint a cabernet, az érintése, akár a tűz. A közelsége elvakított, és könnyedén egy olyasvalami rabja lettem, amiről azt hittem, sohasem lehet az enyém. Én szabadítottam saját magamra a gyötrelmet, mert tudnom kellett volna: képtelenség, hogy egy hozzám hasonló férfit szeressen... Életre keltette bennem azt, ami jobb lett volna, ha halott marad. Nem követem el még egyszer ugyanazt a hibát. Bárhogy könyörög, nem leszek irgalmas. Nem fog érdekelni, hogy mindennél jobban vágyom rá. A USA Today és Wall Street Journal bestsellerszerző, Willow Winters négyrészes sorozatával hozza el olvasóinak a Crossok világát. A bűn szívében-sorozat kifogyhatatlan fordulatai feszített tempót diktálnak.

A családi kötelék vagy a szerelem erősebb? „Willow Winters visszatért, mégpedig egy nagy dobással!” – Sue’s Romance Reviews „Érzelmekkel és vágyakozással teli sakkjátszma.” – The Overflowing Bookcase „Pont olyan féktelenül ragad magával, ahogy azt a címében ígéri!” – White Hot Reads

The Irish Franciscans in Prague 1629–1786
At the end of the sixteenth century, Queen Elizabeth I forced the Irish Franciscans into exile. Of the four continental provinces to which the Irish Franciscans fled, the Prague Franciscan College of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary was the largest in its time. This monograph documents this intense point of contact between two small European lands, Ireland and Bohemia. The Irish exiles changed the course of Bohemian history in significant ways, both positive — the Irish students and teachers of medicine who contributed to Bohemia’s culture and sciences— and negative — the Irish officers who participated in the murder of Albrecht of Valdštejn and their successors who served in the Imperial forces. Dealing with a hitherto largely neglected theme, Parez and Kucharová attempt to place the Franciscan College within Bohemian history and to document the activities of its members. This wealth of historical material from the Czech archives, presented in English for the first time, will be of great aid for international researchers, particularly those interested in Bohemia or the Irish diaspora.

Lacná kniha Der Turm (-70%)
Das Dresdner Villenviertel, vom real existierenden Sozialismus längst mit Verfallsgrau überzogen, schottet sich ab. Anne und Richard Hoffmann stehen im Konflikt zwischen Anpassung und Aufbegehren: Kann man sich vor den Zumutungen des Systems in die Dresdner Nostalgie flüchten? Oder ist der Zeitpunkt gekommen, die Ausreise zu wählen? Christian, ihr ältester Sohn, bekommt die Härte des Systems in der NVA zu spüren. Sein Onkel Meno Rohde steht zwischen den Welten: Er hat Zugang zum Bezirk »Ostrom«, wo die Nomenklatura residiert, die Lebensläufe der Menschen verwaltet werden und deutsches demokratisches Recht gesprochen wird. In epischer Sprache, in eingehend-liebevollen wie dramatischen Szenen beschreibt Uwe Tellkamp den Untergang eines Gesellschaftssystems. Ein monumentales Panorama der untergehenden DDR, in der Angehörige dreier Generationen teils gestaltend, teils ohnmächtig auf den Mahlstrom der Revolution von 1989 zutreiben. Kein anderes Buch hat in den letzten Jahren gleichermaßen Kritiker und Publikum derart begeistert.

Tanítsd meg tanulni!
A legtöbb, amit tehetünk a gyerekünkért, az az, hogy nem engedjük elveszíteni a tanulási képességeit! Ha hagyjuk, hogy vidáman, játékosan fedezze fel ő maga a világot, és ha kell, mutatunk neki olyan tanulási eszközöket és módszereket, amelyek az elménk működéséhez igazodnak, nem pedig az elméjét akarjuk rákényszeríteni értelmetlen szabályok alkalmazására. Ha ezt megtettük, elvégeztük a vállalt feladatunkat. A hatékony módszerek használata, vagyis a tanulás már a gyerek dolga!
Meggyőződésem, hogy az agyunk éppen ugyanolyan gyerekkorunkban, mint felnőttként. Szerkezetét, működési elvét tekintve nem - vagy nem túl sokat - változik, a legfőbb változás benne nem más, mint az, ahogyan használjuk. Amikor tréningeket tartok gyerekeknek, gyakran elmondom, hogy Albert Einstein vagy Szentgyörgyi Albert agya is ugyanolyan szerkezetű volt, mint bármelyikünké, a különbség csak annyi volt, ahogyan használták.
Az is meggyőződésem, hogy a hatékony tanulás alapösztönével születünk, aztán ahogyan magunkra szedünk - néha erőltetünk - módszereket, meggyőződéseket, sztereotípiákat, úgy változik az agyunk használati módja is, és néha valóságnak véljük azt, hogy az én agyam már nem úgy működik, mint régen! - holott az igazság az, hogy nem úgy használom, ahogy régen.
A gyerekeknek szóló Lépéselőny - Tanulj meg tanulni! című könyvet azért írtam, hogy segítsek élményt találni az elméjük kreatív világában, ez a könyv a szülőknek szól. Arról, hogy a gyerekünk után hogyan segítsük világra a sikeres felnőttet is.
