The Court Of Miracles
Les Miserables meets Six of Crows in this page-turning adventure as a young thief finds herself going head to head with leaders of Paris's criminal underground in the wake of a failed French Revolution.
A CITY DIVIDED
A DEADLY BETRAYAL
The French Revolution of 1828 has failed, and Paris is in mourning. The wretched of the city have gathered into guilds of thieves, assassins and worse, to form the Court of Miracles. When Eponine's sister is sold into the Guild of Flesh, both their fates are sealed. The only chance Eponine has of rescuing her is to join the Miracle Court and steal back what was taken.
But to do that she'll have to become the greatest thief the city has ever known.

Batikovacia farba Kreul Javana Sound of the Sea 70 g
S KREUL Batik Textile Dye môžu kreatívci maľovať svoj textil technikou shibori, namáčať alebo len osviežiť farby. Bežný textil sa stáva jedinečným a staré veci možno recyklovať vo výrazných farbách. Či už ide o obliečky na vankúše, obrusy, textilné tašky, tričká a šály alebo posteľnú bielizeň, v správnej farebnej kombinácii batikované látky skutočne upútajú pozornosť. Rozlišujeme rôzne techniky farbenia látok. Shibori: vzory vznikajú viazaním, skladaním a uzlami. Môžete použiť gumičky, sťahovacie pásky alebo balíkové šnúry. Vosková batika: tekutý vosk sa nanáša na bielu látku. Látka sa natrie. Po zaschnutí sa vosk zažehlí a zviditeľnia sa biele vzory. Ponorné farbivo: látka sa ponorí do farby a nejaký čas tam odpočíva, farba sa vsiakne a výsledkom je nádherný nerovný okraj. Techniky batikovania nielen dobre vyzerajú, ale sú aj zábavné: najprv farbenie a miešanie v hrnci a na záver prekvapenie, aký vzor vznikol.• Farbíte látky od 50 °C do 95 °C – horúcou vodou vo vedre resp. v hrnci na sporáku • Ak použijete celú 70 g fľašu farbiva: Silný, intenzívny odtieň pre 200 g látku; stredná hĺbka odtieňa na 400 g látky • Na farbenie a batikovanie hodvábu, bavlny, viskózy, ľanu, poloľanu, vlny a polyamidu • Farbiaci prášok, ktorý obsahuje farbivovú soľ, sa dodáva v praktickej uzatvárateľnej fľaštičke pre jednoduché dávkovanie, miešanie a skladovanie • Minimálna teplota na farbenie je 50 °C – ideálne na batikovanie voskom a techniky farbenia kravaty so striekačkami alebo sprejmi • Farbené textílie nie sú odolné voči varu: Farbu zafixujte fixačným prostriedkom KREUL na batikované textilné farby (č. 98553) na zlepšenie stálofarebnosti a stálosti pri praní. Farbenú látku perte oddelene pri maximálne 40 °C

The Seven Ages of Death
Dr Richard Shepherd, Britain's top forensic pathologist, has spent a lifetime close to the dead.
As a medical detective, each autopsy he carries out is its own unique investigation, uncovering the secrets not only of how a person died, but also of how, through every stage of life, the risks to each of us ebb and flow.
Through twenty-four of his most intriguing, enlightening and never-before-told cases, Dr Shepherd shares autopsies that span the seven ages of human existence, and have taught him as much about the marvels of life as the inevitability of death. From old to young, from murder to misadventure, and from illness to accidental death, each of these bodies has something to reveal: about human development, about mortality, about its owner's life story, about justice and even about Shepherd himself.
From the bestselling author of Unnatural Causes comes a powerful, moving and above all reassuring book about death as it touches our own lives - how to understand it, how best to postpone it, and, when our time comes (as it must), how to embrace it as the last great adventure.

Masters of the Air
'Seconds after Brady's plane was hit, the Hundredth's entire formation was broken up and scattered by swarms of single-engine planes, and by rockets launched by twin-engine planes that flew parallel'
Meet the Flying Fortresses of the American Eighth Air Force, Britain's Lancaster comrades, who helped to bring down the Nazis
Historian and World War II expert Donald Miller brings us the story of the bomber boys who brought the war to Hitler's doorstep. Unlike ground soldiers they slept on clean beds, drank beer in local pubs, and danced to the swing music of the travelling Air Force bands. But they were also an elite group of fighters who put their lives on the line in the most dangerous role of all.
Miller takes readers from the adrenaline filled battles in the sky, to the airbases across England, the German prison camps, and onto the ground to understand the devastation faced by civilians.
Drawn from interviews, oral histories, and American, British and German archives, Masters of the Air is the authoritative, deeply moving and important account of the world's first and only bomber war.

The Salmon of Doubt
The Salmon of Doubt is Douglas Adams's indispensable guide to life, the universe and everything. It includes short stories and eleven chapters of a Dirk Gently novel that Douglas Adams was working on at the time of his death, and features an introduction by Stephen Fry.
This sublime collection dips into the wit and wisdom of the man behind The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, uncovering his unique comic musings on everything from his school-trousers to malt whisky and from the letter Y through to his own nose, via atheism, hangovers and fried eggs.
These hilarious collected writings reveal the warmth, enthusiasm and ferocious intelligence behind this most English of comic writers; a man who was virtually an unofficial member of the Monty Python team.
Douglas Adams on his passion for P. G. Wodehouse, The Beatles and the perfect cup of tea alone make this a must-have collection and a remarkable sign-off from one of the best loved writers of all time.
Start from the beginning of the surreal Dirk Gently series with Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Islands of Abandonment
This is a book about abandoned places: ghost towns and exclusion zones, no man's lands and fortress islands - and what happens when nature is allowed to reclaim its place.
In Chernobyl, following the nuclear disaster, only a handful of people returned to their dangerously irradiated homes. On an uninhabited Scottish island, feral cattle live entirely wild. In Detroit, once America's fourth-largest city, entire streets of houses are falling in on themselves, looters slipping through otherwise silent neighbourhoods.
This book explores the extraordinary places where humans no longer live - or survive in tiny, precarious numbers - to give us a possible glimpse of what happens when mankind's impact on nature is forced to stop. From Tanzanian mountains to the volcanic Caribbean, the forbidden areas of France to the mining regions of Scotland, Flyn brings together some of the most desolate, eerie, ravaged and polluted areas in the world - and shows how, against all odds, they offer our best opportunities for environmental recovery.
By turns haunted and hopeful, this luminously written world study is pinned together with profound insight and new ecological discoveries that together map an answer to the big questions: what happens after we're gone, and how far can our damage to nature be undone?

Audrey Hepburn: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon
Audrey Hepburn: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon is a stunning illustrated biography of style and screen legend Audrey Hepburn, from internationally renowned fashion illustrator Megan Hess.
From Sabrina to Breakfast at Tiffany's, Audrey Hepburn is renowned for her unforgettable film roles and fashion looks, but less well known is her fascinating life, including her childhood in Nazi-occupied Holland and her tireless dedication to helping those less fortunate than herself. In this book, Megan's beautiful illustrations follow Hepburn through three distinct chapters: her early life in World War II Europe, dreaming of becoming a ballerina; her ingenue years as the rising star of Hollywood and her incredible fashion partnership with Hubert de Givenchy; and her private life beyond the silver screen, building a legacy through her humanitarian work.
Elegantly enclosed by a hardback cover and ribbon, Audrey Hepburn: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon is a beautiful celebration of a woman whose life was as remarkable as the clothes she wore and the movies she starred in, with every surprising detail and iconic outfit brought to life on the page by the expert hand of Megan Hess.
