Making of Return of the Jedi
Just as Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi completed the most successful cinematic trilogy of its generation, perhaps of all time, this splendid thirtieth-anniversary tribute concludes New York Times bestselling author J. W. Rinzler's trio of breathtaking books celebrating George Lucas's classic saga. Once again, the author's unprecedented access to the Lucasfilm Archives has yielded a mother lode of fascinating and often unexpected revelations from behind the scenes of a blockbuster in the making. Brimming with previously unpublished photos, concept artwork, script excerpts, storyboards, on-set interviews and present-day commentary, The Making of Return of the Jedi chronicles 'how George Lucas and his crew of extroverted artists, misfits and expert craftspeople roused themselves to great heights for a third time' to create the next unforgettable chapter in one of the most beloved stories in movie history. Get up close to the action and feel like a studio insider as: * George Lucas, Oscar-nominated screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan and director Richard Marquand huddle in a script conference to debate the destinies of iconic Star Wars characters * The artists and technicians at the ground-breaking Industrial Light & Magic facility surpass their own revolutionary innovations with boundary-pushing new visual effects * A crack team of sculptors, puppeteers, actors and 'monstermakers' brings Jabba the Hutt and his unsavoury cohorts to startling, slobbering life * Actors and crew race to the finish line at Elstree Studios, in a fiery desert and beneath the canopy of a dense redwood forest to provide answers to the questions that audiences had waited three years to find out: Is Darth Vader really Luke's father? Who is the mysterious 'other'? And who, or what, is the Emperor? Star Wars luminaries from both sides of the camera, including Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, David Prowse, Alec Guinness, director Richard Marquand, producer Howard Kazanjian, Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston, Dennis Muren, Phil Tippett and mastermind George Lucas, all weigh in with candid insights on everything from technical crises and character design, to the Ewoks and the ultimate challenge of bringing this phenomenal space fantasy to a dramatic close. A gloriously illustrated and painstakingly researched tribute to a truly spectacular movie, The Making of Return of the Jedi invites you to return to a galaxy ...far, far away.

The Unsettling of Europe
Migrants have stood at the heart of modern Europe's experience, whether trying to escape danger, to find a better life or as a result of deliberate policy, whether moving from the countryside to the city, or between countries, or from outside the continent altogether.
Peter Gatrell's powerful new book is the first to bring these stories together into one place. He creates a compelling narrative bracketed by two nightmarish periods: the great convulsions following the fall of the Third Reich and the mass attempts in the 2010s by migrants to cross the Mediterranean into Europe.
The Unsettling of Europe is a new history of the continent, charting the ever-changing arguments about the desirability or otherwise of migrants and their central role in Europe's post-1945 prosperity. Gatrell is as fascinating on the giant movements of millions (such as the epic waves of German migration) to that of much smaller groups, such as the Karelians, Armenians, Moluccans or Ugandan Asians. Above all he has written a book that makes the reader deeply aware of the many extraordinary journeys taken by countless individuals in pursuit of work, safety and dignity, all the time.
This is a landmark book on a subject that, decade by decade, will always haunt Europe.

Atlas Maior - Hispania, Portugallia, America et Africa
The Atlas Maior, the cartographical masterpiece of the Baroque period, was brought out between 1662 and 1665 by the Amsterdam publisher Joan Blaeu, one of Holland’s leading cartographers. Originally appearing in Latin, the atlas comprised 594 maps in 11 volumes, which depicted the whole of the world as known to early modern Europe. It was the largest and most expensive book published during the 17th century. For more than 100 years it remained the definitive atlas of the world, and today is among the most sought-after and valuable antiquarian rarities. This reprinted edition in six volumes is based on the hand-colored, gold-heightened copy in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, thus ensuring the best possible detail and quality. Alongside Joan Blaeu’s original commentaries on the individual maps, a new text by Peter van der Krogt explains the historical and cultural associations and introduces the reader to the fascinating world of early modern cartography.

Tenerife - Merian
Již pohled z okénka letadla, které zakrouží nad ostrovem, vám rozbuší srdce: ano, vybrali jste si správně! Takto vypadá ráj! Velkolepé panorama tohoto největšího z Kanárských ostrovů okouzlí každého návštěvníka již na první pohled – majestátně působí zejména vulkán Pico de Teide do pozdního jara pokrytý sněhem, jenž se tyčí uprostřed ostrova do výšky 3717 m, a je tedy i nejvyšší horou Španělska, a rozkošnicky se koupe ve slunci, ověnčen sytou zelení. Na jeho úpatí se rozkládá pobřežní pásmo se sněhobílými domy, odpočívajícími ve stínu cypřišů a citrusů, které je alespoň na sladký čas dovolené domovem tisíců turistů, kteří tu mohou téměř po celý rok žádostivě vystavovat svá těla slunci. Tenerife však nenabízí svým návštěvníkům jen blahodárné paprsky slunce, rozkošnicky jemný písek a chladivé vody moře – přibalte si proto s sebou našeho průvodce MERIAN live!, který vás bude inspirovat k objevitelským výpravám za četnými přírodními i historickými krásami tohoto ostrova věčného jara. Navštívíte s námi rozsáhlý národní park, který chrání podivuhodnou sopečnou krajinu s její jedinečnou faunou a flórou, prohlédnete si Vilaflor, jednu z nejvýše položených vesnic v celém Španělsku, duševní sílu naberete ve městečku Candelária, které patří mezi nejznámější poutní místa, a pokud máte alespoň trochu fantazie, tak si jistě při procházce ulicemi hlavního města Santa Cruz představíte atmosféru zdejšího bujného karnevalu. Doufáme, že na tomto kouzelném ostrově najdete všechny podmínky pro to, abyste zde strávili nezapomenutelnou dovolenou – MERIAN live! vám ji navíc umožní prožít aktivnějším a bohatším způsobem.

The 10 Rules of Successful Nations
This short primer distils Ruchir Sharma's decades of global analytic experience into ten rules for identifying nations that are poised to take off or crash.
A wake-up call to economists who failed to foresee every recent crisis, including the cataclysm of 2008, 10 Rules is full of insights on signs of political, economic, and social change. Sharma explains, for example, why autocrats are bad for the economy; robots are a blessing, not a curse; and consumer prices don't tell you all you need to know about inflation. He shows how currency crises begin with the flight of knowledgeable locals, not evil foreigners; how debt crises start in private companies, not government; and why the best news for any country is none at all.
Rethinking economics as a practical art, 10 Rules is a must-read for business, political and academic leaders who want to understand the most important forces that shape a nation's future.

The True History of Chocolate
Chocolate - `the food of the Gods' - has had a long and eventful history. Its story is expertly told here by the doyen of Maya studies, Michael Coe, and his late wife, Sophie. The book begins 3,000 years ago in the Mexican jungles and goes on to draw on aspects of archaeology, botany and socio-economics. Used as currency and traded by the Aztecs, chocolate arrived in Europe via the conquistadors, and was soon a favourite drink with aristocrats. By the 19th century and industrialization, chocolate became a food for the masses - until its revival in our own time as a luxury item. Chocolate has also been giving up some of its secrets to modern neuroscientists, who have been investigating how flavour perception is mediated by the human brain. And, finally, the book closes with two contemporary accounts of how chocolate manufacturers have (or have not) been dealing with the ethical side of the industry.

Istanbul
Kdo přijíždí do Istanbulu, zcela jistě je připraven na orientální exotiku a velkolepé památky minulosti. Ale tato turecká metropole na Bosporu je také rušným moderním, byť rozporuplným velkoměstem. Rozporuplnost města pramení především z toho, že jedna jeho část se rozkládá na evropské pevnině, druhá náleží již plně k islámskému Orientu. Zatímco v ulicích čtvrti Fatih nepotkáte ženu, která by nebyla zahalena závojem, a muže bez turbanu, jenž by nespěchal do mešity k modlitbě, mladé to táhne do pestrými neony blikajících nákupních center se západními značkovými oděvy na okraji metropole. Tady se scházejí, poslouchají moderní hudbu z walkmanů a na venkovních parkovištích pořádají rapové „dýchánky“.
O Istanbulu se povídá, že snad i zdejší prach je zlatý, a tak není divu, že počet obyvatel prudce roste – do metropole přichází z venkovských regionů stále více lidí, protože doufají, že tu najdou nejen práci, ale i blahobyt. Nikdo snad ani neví, zda jich tu žije 10 či už 12 milionů... Realita se v tomto městě vyznačuje ostře vyhraněnými protiklady bohatství a chudoby: najdete tu pestrou a obdivuhodně promíchanou směs luxusních restaurantů, hlučných bufetů, tichých dvorů za oprýskanými fasádami a čadících autobusů v přecpaných ulicích. A jakoby mimo čas plující velkolepě osvětlené obrovské zaoceánské lodě, které směřují z Marmarského moře do Černého moře.
