Lacná kniha Tadao Ando Complete Works (-50%)
Philippe Starck describes him as a `mystic in a country which is no longer mystic.` Philip Drew calls his buildings `land art` that `struggle to emerge from the earth.` He is the only architect to have won the discipline's four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize. His name is Tadao Ando, and he is one of the greatest living architects. Combining influences from Japanese tradition with the best of Modernism, Ando has developed a completely unique building aesthetic that makes use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and nature in a way that has never been witnessed in architecture. His designs include award-winning private homes, churches, museums, apartment complexes, and cultural spaces throughout Japan, as well as in France, Italy, Spain, and the USA. This book, created at the height of Ando's illustrious career, and thoroughly updated for this new 2010 edition, presents his complete works to date.

Into the Void
The much-anticipated first book from Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler.
With over 70 million records sold, heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath are one of the most influential bands of all time. From the very beginning, Geezer Butler was at the heart of their success. He named the group, provided the bass behind their distinctive sound and wrote the lyrics that resonated so powerfully with fans around the world.
At long last, Geezer is ready to tell his side of the Sabbath story, from early days as a scrappy blues quartet through to the many lineup changes, the record-breaking tours and the international hell-raising with Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward.
Featuring Geezer’s candid reflections on his working-class childhood in Luftwaffe-battered Birmingham, his almost-life as an accountant and his fascination with horror, religion and the occult, Into the Void reveals the softer side of the heavy metal legend, while holding nothing back.
Like Geezer’s bass lines and the story of Black Sabbath themselves, Into the Void is original, dramatic and one hell of a ride.
Lacná kniha Netherwood (-70%)
Eve Williams is about to discover just how the other half really live ...
Above stairs: Lord Netherwood keeps his considerable fortune ticking over with the profits from his three coal mines in the vicinity. It's just as well the coal is of the highest quality as the upkeep of Netherwood Hall, his splendid estate on the outskirts of town, doesn't come cheap. And that's not to mention the cost of keeping his wife and daughters in the latest fashions-- and keeping the heir, the charming but feckless Tobias, out of trouble.
Below stairs: Eve Williams, is the wife of one of Lord Netherwood's most stalwart employees. When her ordered existence amid the terraced rows of the miners' houses is brought crashing down by the twin arrivals of tragedy and charity, Eve must look to her own self-sufficiency, and talent, to provide for her three young children. And it's then that 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' collide in truly dramatic fashion...

Lacná kniha The Reading Group (-50%)
A New Year. A New Page. A New Reading Group. Five women meet for their first reading group, little realising this social gathering over books and glasses of wine might see them share more than literary debate ...and will, in fact, take each of them to places they'd never imagined. Harriet and Nicole are the ringleaders, best friends who can't quite admit - to themselves or one other - they might be trapped in loveless marriages. While Polly, a determined single mum, finds herself tipped off course by an unexpected proposal. Susan, usually so carefree and happy, is forced to face a shattering reality and Clare, quiet and mysterious, plainly has more on her mind than next week's book choice. Over the coming year their worlds will intertwine in delightful, unexpected and surprising ways. Stories will be re-written as dreams are made and broken, but through it all they'll have the Reading Group, with friendship, tears and laughter featuring in every chapter of their lives.

Lacná kniha Matter (-70%)
In a world renowned even within a galaxy full of wonders, a crime within a war. For one brother it means a desperate flight, and a search for the one - maybe two - people who could clear his name. For his brother it means a life lived under constant threat of treachery and murder. And for their sister, even without knowing the full truth, it means returning to a place she'd thought abandoned forever. Only the sister is not what she once was; Djan Seriy Anaplian has changed almost beyond recognition to become an agent of the Culture's Special Circumstances section, charged with high-level interference in civilisations throughout the greater galaxy. Concealing her new identity - and her particular set of abilities - might be a dangerous strategy, however. In the world to which Anaplian returns, nothing is quite as it seems; and determining the appropriate level of interference in someone else's war is never a simple matter.

The Museum of Other People
This is a history of the ways in which foreign and prehistoric peoples were represented in museums of anthropology, with their displays of arts and artifacts, their dioramas, their special exhibitions, and their arrays of skulls and skeletons.
Originally created as colonial enterprises, what is the purpose of these places today? What should they do with the items in their custodianship? And how can they help us to understand and appreciate other cultures?
Informed by a lifetime of research and scholarship, this subtle and original work tackles painful questions about race, colonialism, difference, and cultural appropriation. The result is a must-read for anyone concerned with the coexistence of different modes of life.
The Turning Point
The year is 1851. It's a time of radical change in Britain, when industrial miracles and artistic innovations rub shoulders with political unrest, poverty and disease. It's also a turbulent time in the life of Charles Dickens, as he copes with a double bereavement and early signs that his marriage is falling apart. But this year will become the turning point in Dickens's career, as he embraces his calling as a chronicler of ordinary people's lives.
The Turning Point transports us into the foggy streets of Dickens's London, closely following the twists and turns of a year that would come to define him, and forever alter Britain's relationship with the world.
Életmentő könyv - Családi összefogással a függőség ellen
Ha az a célod, hogy megmentsd az életét valakinek, akit szeretsz, akkor ezt a könyv neked szól. Ez a szeretted most is éppen azon munkálkodik, hogy módszeresen tönkretegye önmagát, droggal, alkohollal vagy gyógyszerekkel. Te azonban vissza akarod rántani a szakadék széléről, és én azt állítom, hogy ez sikerülhet is.
Persze jelenleg úgy tűnhet, hogy őt az égvilágon semmi sem érdekli, csak a szer és a kábulat az élet helyett egyfajta életpótlék. Még azzal sincs tisztában, hogy milyen nagy szüksége lenne segítségre, miközben Te azt hallod a szakemberektől: egy szenvedélybeteget csak akkor lehet megmenteni, ha az illető maga akarja és kéri ezt.
Én azonban azt állítom: nem igaz, hogy csak azon a szerfüggőn lehet segíteni, aki magától felismeri, hogy mekkora bajban van, és önszántából szakemberhez fordul. Valójában már akkor közbe lehet lépni, amikor az illetőnek még nincs betegségtudata, és tapasztalatom szerint vissza lehet hozni akár a gödör fenekéről is.
Gondolj erre a könyvre úgy, mint egy mentőkötélre, amellyel közösen elhúzzuk a fuldoklót a mentőcsónakig, hogy aztán a szakemberek segíthessenek rajta úgy, ahogy kell. Ez egy olyan mentőexpedíció lesz, amelyben rajtad és rajtam kívül az érintett többi hozzátartozója is részt vesz majd. Csak együtt tudunk valóban célt érni, ráadásul ez az összefogás a függőn kívül a többi családtagnak is segíteni fog. Abban a családban ugyanis, amelyben egy szenvedélybeteg él, nem kizárólag a függő van bajban, hanem egytől egyig mindenki.
Vágjunk hát bele! Ismerd meg azt a módszert, amely a szenvedélybetegség árnyékában élő családok ezreinek adta már vissza a reményt szerte a világon: az intervenciót.

In the Eight Kingdoms, none have greater strength or influence than the asha, who hold elemental magic. But only a bone witch has the power to raise the dead.
