Great Escapes Alps: The Hotel Book
The Alps are Europe's biggest and greatest mountain range. Formed millions of years ago, they became a popular destination for travelers in the late eighteenth century - first for adventurers and explorers, then for artists and writers, and finally for everyone who wanted to spend summer in the fresh air of this wonderful scenery or take part in winter sports. Angelika Taschen has followed in their footsteps and collected the finest hotels in the Alpine nations of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Italy.
They include the Kranzbach near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, built for a British aristocrat, Gasthof Hirschen in the Bregenzerwald, where art-loving visitors have been welcomed since 1755, and the Seehof near Salzburg with its emphasis on contemporary art and fine cuisine. The journey goes to Waldhaus Sils in Sils Maria, where many creative guests have found inspiration, to the Schatzalp in Davos, which Thomas Mann immortalized in literature in "The Magic Mountain", and to picturesque bed & breakfasts with a personal touch such as Brucke49 in Vals and Maison Bergdorf in Interlaken.
High above Chamonix, mountaineers have stayed overnight for more than 140 years at Refuge du Montenvers with its view of the Mer de Glace, the largest glacier in France. In the exclusive Megeve, too, which Baroness Noemie de Rothschild put on the tourist map, travelers experience the Alps a la francaise in the chalet hotel L'Alpaga; and a bit of Italian dolce vita is provided by stunning addresses in the South Tyrol such as the Ottmangut in Merano, Villa Arnica in Lana with its nostalgic atmosphere, and Pension Briol near Barbiano, constructed in 1928 in the Bauhaus style and extended in 2021 with the addition of two extremely modern buildings.
This opulent book of photographs presents the Alpine range and accommodation in large-format images, short texts, and useful details on prices and how to get there. Walkers, skiers, gourmets, and lovers of good living will find valuable tips and very special accommodation: former monasteries where guests still find peace and seclusion, a mountain hut at the heart of the Dolomites, and a youth hostel occupying what was once a sanatorium, a rare example of modern architecture in Switzerland that was declared a heritage monument in 2002.
Nebuď přece blond!
S třináctiletou Jojo, s její roztržitou maminkou, praštěnou mladší sestrou Flippi a s Jojinými klukovskými idoly se setkáváme už počtvrté a opět nás čeká kolotoč neuvěřitelných výmyslů a úsměvných trapasů. V jejím tajném deníku je tentokrát jedničkou okouzlující Eberhard, i když s ním má fůru trablů. Kvůli Eberhardovi neustále něco podniká a dokonce se nechá odbarvit na blond. Jenže nakonec je všechno úplně jinak.

Simply Einstein
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was born in Ulm in the German Empire and received his academic teaching diploma from the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in 1900. Unable to secure a teaching post, he eventually found work in the Swiss Patent Office in Bern, where he began to develop his special theory of relativity. In 1905 (his “miracle year”), he published four revolutionary papers, which came to be recognized as stunning breakthroughs in physics. For the next 25 years, while continuing his research, he taught at several universities in Europe, relocating to the U.S. in 1933, when Adolf Hitler came to power. During World War II, his insights regarding mass-energy equivalence led to the development of the atomic bomb, a practical demonstration of his theories that shook the world. Einstein was horrified that the bomb was used, and he spent the rest of his life warning about the dangers of nuclear weapons and advocating for peace and international cooperation.
In Simply Einstein, Professor Jimena Canales offers the reader a unique perspective on the man who occupies a singular place in the popular imagination. Unlike many Einstein biographies, her book does not glorify the scientist or get lost in esoteric details, but takes pains to present a straightforward, thoroughly readable introduction to the man and his work that shows just how and why an eccentric physicist became a household name.
The universe that Einstein described is the one in which we now live, a world of paradoxes and uncertainty, as well as infinite possibility. For anyone interested in better understanding how this came to be–and in gaining a fuller appreciation of the brilliant, flawed human being who changed everything–Simply Einstein is essential reading.

Secrets Of The Rubicon
Once there was a time when Romagna was named Flaminia and the Rubicon was not only a river. When in 49 BCE Julius Caesar arrived he found waiting for him a wooden palisade coloured ruby red where he deployed his legions for several months on that border defended by the legionaries of Pompeo.
But who and for what reason was it built, even before Caesar was born, a red line of defence built even to the sea and what would Caesar and his legions do to breach it?
Born out of the historical events that have never before been seen, this book will lead you to discover for the first time what the Rubicon really was, what did the legionaries of Caesar do when they decided to attack Rom and many other unpublished news that you never even suspected and will lead, step by step, to discover for the first time: • What was the Rubicon really? • Who and for what reason was it constructed even before the birth of Caesar? • Why have historians never been able to agree about where the Rubicon was? • What plans and strategies did Caesar employ to cross it? • And Pompeo’s legions in its defence? • Had someone made a curse against whoever dared to cross it armed? • Did Caesar and his legions had nightmare from the ‘Malanotte’ before crossing it? • What was Romagna and what did it symbolise in the time of Caesar? • What was the festival of ‘New Years’ that took place in Roma? • What Latin insults did their legions tell each other? And much other unpublished news that you have never suspected. A book that for the first time will cast on the historical darkness left to fall on these events.

A Polyantha titka - Penelope of the Polyantha
This early work by Edgar Wallace was originally published in 1926 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Penelope of the Polyantha' is a crime novel by this pioneer of detective fiction. Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace was born in London, England in 1875. He received his early education at St. Peter's School and the Board School, but after a frenetic teens involving a rash engagement and frequently changing employment circumstances, Wallace went into the military. He served in the Royal West Kent Regiment in England and then as part of the Medical Staff Corps stationed in South Africa. Whilst in the Balkans covering the Russo-Japanese War, Wallace found the inspiration for The Four Just Men, published in 1905. Over the rest of his life, Wallace produced some 173 books and wrote 17 plays. These were largely adventure narratives with elements of crime or mystery, and usually combined a bombastic sensationalism with hammy violence.

Mondom a Ferinek, Tibi
Hogyan kerül reklám egy temetési beszédbe? Miképpen született meg Kókusz alakja azon a bizonyos piacon, ahol véletlenül ott maradt a mikrofon? Miért ír minden verset Donászy Magda? Aradi Tibor és Varga Ferenc József huszonöt éve szórakoztatja közönségét. De kik is ők valójában? A pincér és a tanár? A sofőr és a vezetni nem akaró? A szkeptikus és a hívő? A gyermekes és a gyermektelen? Tűz és víz? Ebből a kötetből nem csupán két humoristát ismerhetünk meg, de az elmúlt negyedszázad magyar kabarékulisszái mögé is bepillanthatunk. Hogyan épül fel egy szórakoztató műsor, milyen volt a Mikroszkóp Színpad fénykora és hanyatlása, hogyan lesz valakiből manapság humorista…
Az Aradi–Varga-duó megpróbálja a lehetetlent: úgy elmesélni kettejük történetét, hogy közben nem a botrányra fókuszálnak. Nem szeretnék ráborítani a bilit a szakmára, de nem hallgatják el azt sem, ha valami nem tetszik nekik, s mindeközben önmagunkkal is kritikusak. Persze az az olvasó is jól szórakozik majd – rosszul szórakozni ugyanis képtelenség –, aki a „hülyeségükre” kíváncsi: helyenként abszurd, máshol bölcselkedő, néhol blőd, másutt éretten közéleti, vagyis meglehetősen eklektikus humorukra. És akinek ez sem elég, az egy különös autózáson is részt vehet, ahol világmegváltás közben Aradi Tibor néha keményen beszól az elé tolakodó autósoknak. Megijedni nem kell, a vége úgyis happy end lesz!

Dear Girls
Sharp and hilariously funny advice for growing up female from the Netflix star of Always Be My Maybe.
Dear Girls is Ali Wong's collection of heartfelt and hilarious letters to her daughters covering everything they need to know in life, like the unpleasant details of dating, how to be a working mum in a male-dominated profession and how she trapped their dad.
She shares the wisdom she's learned from a life in comedy and reveals stories from her life off stage, including the brutal single life in New York (and the inevitable confrontation with erectile dysfunction), reconnecting with her roots (and drinking snake blood) in Vietnam and parenting war stories. Ali Wong's letters are absurdly funny, surprisingly moving and enlightening (and gross) for all.

A mennyeknél súlyosabb - Kurt Cobain életrajza
Kurt Cobain 1994. április 5-én lett öngyilkos. Akarata szerint zárta le rövid, dühödt, fájdalmakkal teli, ám termékeny életét. A mennyeknél súlyosabb ezt az életet kíséri végig a szem- és fültanú hitelességével. Szerzője, Charles R. Cross az egykori Rocket zenei magazin szerkesztője belülről ismeri a seattle-i zenei életet, és a kezdetektől közvetlen közelről követhette Kurt Cobain és a Nirvana pályafutását is.
A könyv megírását 4 év kutatómunka és több mint 400 interjú előzte meg. A szerző kivételes hozzáférést kapott Cobain publikálatlan naplóihoz, dalszövegeihez, családi fotóihoz és rengeteg dokumentumhoz, amelyek alapján páratlan részletességgel rekonstruálta az elmúlt évtizedek egyik legnagyobb zenei ikonjának életét az aberdeeni gyerekkortól a híressé váláson át egészen az öngyilkosságig.
Cross az új kiadáshoz írt elő- és utószavában képet ad az első kiadás (6 évvel Kurt Cobain halála után) óta eltelt időszakról is. Megosztja az öngyilkosságot követő vizsgálatok eredményeit, és a zenekarral kapcsolatos olyan történéseket, amelyek mind azt bizonyítják: Kurt Cobain és a Nirvana mind a mai napig komoly hatást gyakorol a közönségre és a zenészekre.
"Az egyik legalaposabb és legmegindítóbb könyv, amit rocksztárról valaha írtak." (Los Angeles Times)
