The Making of the Modern Middle East
Jeremy Bowen, the International Editor of the BBC, has been covering the Middle East since 1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled present.
In The Making of the Modern Middle East - in part based on his acclaimed podcast, 'Our Man in the Middle East' - Bowen takes us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic control.
With his deep understanding of the political, cultural and religious differences between countries as diverse as Erdogan's Turkey, Assad's Syria and Netanyahu's Israel and his long experience of covering events in the region, Bowen offers readers a gripping and invaluable guide to the modern Middle East, how it came to be and what its future might hold.

When Esquire was charged with obscenity over a particularly spicy pin-up the military stepped in the fight for The Varga Girl, declaring her necessary for morale. Today these wartime pin-ups are the most collectible of Vargas' work, and we 've collected them all in this compact, affordable 192-page volume.

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea
Deadly storms. An ancient curse. Will her sacrifice save them all?
For generations, deadly storms have ravaged Mina's homeland. Her people believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curse them with death and despair. To appease him, each year a maiden is thrown into the sea, in the hopes that one day the 'true bride' will be chosen and end the suffering.
Many believe Shim Cheong - Mina's brother's beloved - to be the legendary true bride. But on the night Cheong is sacrificed, Mina's brother follows her, even knowing that to interfere is a death sentence. To save her brother, Mina throws herself into the water in Cheong's stead.
Swept away to the Spirit Realm, a magical city of lesser gods and mythical beasts, Mina finds the Sea God, trapped in an enchanted sleep. With the help of a mysterious young man and a motley crew of demons, gods and spirits, Mina sets out to wake him and bring an end to the storms once and for all.
But she doesn't have much time: a human cannot live long in the land of the spirits. And there are those who would do anything to keep the Sea God from waking . . .
The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is a magical feminist retelling of a classic Korean legend, perfect for fans of Uprooted and Miyazaki's Spirited Away.

Lacná kniha The struggle for Slovakia and the Treaty of Trianon 1918-1920 (-90%)
Monografia je upraveným a doplneným vydaním slovenskej publikácie Boj o Slovensko a Trianon 1918 – 1920. V porovnaní so slovenskou verziou má koncepčnú úpravu s väčším dôrazom na vedecký charakter práce súvisiaci so širšou pramennou bázou a celkovým heuristickým charakterom. Cieľom práce je osvetliť postavenie Slovenska v období od rozpadnutia Rakúsko-Uhorska do podpísania mierovej zmluvy s Maďarskom v Trianone, ako výsledok gradácie boja za nezávislosť Česko-slovenského štátu. A to na pozadí širšej domácej a medzinárodnej situácie.
Problematika je spracovaná vo viacerých rovinách. V prvej zachytil autor celkový vývojový trend Slovenska, v druhej rovinu slovensko-maďarských vzťahov, osobitne v zápase proti pokusom Maďarska udržať nadvládu nad Slovenskom. V tretej sledoval česko-slovenský kontext pri formovaní spoločného štátu a postavenie Slovenska v novom štáte. Názvy kapitol sú identické s kapitolami v pôvodnej slovenskej publikácii, anglická verzia je však obsahovo od tretej kapitoly (celkovo šesť kapitol) rozšírená.

In The Shadow of the Mountain
YOU DON'T CONQUER A MOUNTAIN. YOU SURRENDER TO IT ONE STEP AT A TIME.
Despite a high-flying career, Silvia Vasquez-Lavado knew she was hanging by a thread. Deep in the throes of alcoholism, and hiding her sexuality from her family, she was repressing the abuse she'd suffered as a child.
When her mother called her home to Peru, she knew something finally had to change. It did. Silvia began to climb.
Something about the sheer size of the mountains, the vast emptiness and the nearness of death, woke her up. And then, she took her biggest pain to the biggest mountain: Everest. The 'Mother of the World' allows few to reach her summit, but Silvia didn't go alone. Trekking with her to Base Camp, were five troubled young women on an odyssey that helped each confront their personal trauma, and whose strength and community propelled Silvia forward...
Beautifully written and deeply moving, In the Shadow of the Mountain is a remarkable story of compassion, humility, and strength, inspiring us all to find have faith in our own heroism and resilience.
