Ragged Dick; or, Street Life in New York with the Boot Blacks
Ragged Dick; or, Street Life in New York with the Boot Blacks is a Bildungsroman by Horatio Alger, Jr. serialized in Student and Schoolmate in 1867, and released as a full length novel in May 1868 by A. K. Loring. It was the first volume in the six volume Ragged Dick Series, and became Alger's all-time bestseller. The tale follows a poor boot black's rise to middle class respectability in 19th-century New York City. It had a favorable reception. Student and Schoolmate reported their readers were delighted with the first installment and Putnam's Magazine thought boys would love the novel. One modern scholar considers the story a "puerile fantasy" about class assimilation. The plot and theme were repeated virtually in toto in Alger's subsequent novels and became the grist for parodists and satirists. Ragged Dick and Alger's Silas Snobden's Office Boy inspired the musical comedy Shine! in 1982.

Denim and Leather
In the late 1970s, aggressive, young bands are forming across Britain. Independent labels are springing up to release their music. But this isn't the story of punk. Forget punk. Punk was a flash in the pan compared to this. This is the story of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a musical movement that changed the world.
From this movement - given the unwieldy acronym NWOBHM - sprang streams that would flow through metal's subsequent development. Without NWOBHM there is no thrash metal, no death metal, no black metal. Without the rise of Iron Maiden, NWOBHM's standard bearers, leading the charge to South America and to South Asia, metal's global spread is slower. Without the NWOBHM bands - who included Def Leppard, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Diamond Head and many others - the international uniform of heavy metal - the 'battle jacket' of a denim jacket with sleeves ripped off, and covered with patches (usually sewn on by the wearer's mum), worn over a leather biker jacket - does not exist: 'Denim and leather brought us all together,' as Saxon put it.
No book has ever gathered together all the principals of British heavy rock's most fertile period: Jimmy Page, Rick Allen, Michael Schenker, Robert John 'Mutt' Lange, Ritchie Blackmore, Rick Savage, Phil Collen, David Coverdale, Cronos, Biff Byford, Joe Elliott, Rob Halford, Ian Gillan, Phil Mogg, Robert Plant, Tony Wilson, Lars Ulrich, Pete Waterman to name a few.
In Denim and Leather, these stars tell their own stories - their brilliant, funny tales of hubris and disaster, of ambition and success - and chart how, over a handful of years from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, a group of unlikely looking blokes from the provinces wearing spandex trousers changed heavy music forever.

The Gilded Ones – Aranyló vér
A tizenhat éves Deka félve várja a Próbát, ami el fogja dönteni, hogy befogadja-e a falu népe, hisz természetfeletti megérzései máris kiemelik a társai közül. Deka azért imádkozik, hogy vörös legyen a vére, de mivel az arannyá változik, sajnos tisztátalannak bizonyul. Ez azt jelenti, hogy a halálnál is rosszabb sors vár rá. Ekkor azonban megjelenik egy titokzatos hölgy, aki kiutat kínál neki: beállhat az alakik közé, a császár kizárólag lányokból álló seregébe. Az alakik mind ritka képességekkel megvert, csaknem halhatatlan lények, egyedül ők tudják elhárítani az országra rontó Halálsikolyok támadásait. Deka annyira vágyik az elfogadásra, hogy belemegy a veszedelmes ajánlatba, és otthagyja a szülőfaluját, az egyetlen közösséget, amit ismer. Miközben élete legnagyobb harcára készül, azzal kell szembesülnie, hogy a főváros magas falai között számos titok lakozik. Minden és mindenki másnak bizonyul, mint aminek látszik. Még maga Deka is. „Namina Forna az a friss hang, amelyre a YA fantasynak égetően szüksége volt.” POPSUGAR „Cselekménydús és fordulatos történet, amely elgondolkodtató módon ábrázol társadalmi igazságtalanságokat. A tiszta lezárás után az olvasó a mese folytatására vágyik.” Booklist „Egy veszélyekkel és csalódásokkal teli világba vezet minket, ahol engedelmes lányhőse a férfiuralmat túlélve harcossá edződik. Minden kétséget kizáróan 2021 legjobb fantasyje.” Kim Johnson „Szívdobogtató fordulatok és tüzes, szívós hősnő – káprázatos, átütő fantasy debütáció.” Elizabeth Lim „Forna olyan univerzumot teremt, ahol a nők testvérisége áll csak remény és kétségbeesés közé.” BookBub „Csemege azoknak, akik Tomi Ayedemi Vér és csont gyermekei című művének rajongói.” PureWow

Znojmo od středověku po moderní dobu - Znojmo from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century
Tato kniha je zaměřena na architekturu města Znojma v jejích kulturně-historických souvislostech. Vzhledem k jedinečné přírodní poloze sídla byla zohledněna topologická situace a její vliv na utváření urbanistické struktury (1. kapitola). Kolektiv autorů této knihy byl veden snahou poskytnout čtenáři názorný přehled o hlavních dílech znojemské architektury, k čemuž napomáhají četná vyobrazení.
Poznání historie Znojma a jeho památek má samo již dlouhou historii. Středověké památky Znojma začaly už v 2. polovině 19. století přitahovat pozornost historiků umění a jiných odborníků z oblasti památkové péče. Jenom o rotundě sv. Kateřiny byly do současné doby publikovány desítky odborných i popularizačních prací. Na specializované studie odborníků v našem textu navazujeme a odkazujeme. Kapitoly 2., úvodní část 3. a 5.-7. jsou založeny převážně na původním pramenném výzkumu, jehož výsledky jsou dokonce v případě šesté a sedmé kapitoly u nás poprvé publikovány.
Malířství, sochařství a uměleckému řemeslu je věnována pozornost do té míry, pokud přímo souvisí s architekturou, a dotváří její reprezentační funkci atd. Dalším případem je dokumentační funkce malby, grafiky či jiného výtvarného díla. Kniha je určena širokému spektru zájemců o architekturu a historii, aniž by přitom její autoři rezignovali na přesnost a kritický přístup ke zdrojům informací.

Move: How Mass Migration Will Reshape the World - and What It Means for You
Where will you live in 2030? Where will your children settle in 2040? What will the map of humanity look like in 2050?
In the 60,000 years since people began colonising the continents, a recurring feature of human civilisation has been mobility - the constant search for resources and stability. Seismic global events - wars and genocides, revolutions and pandemics - have only accelerated the process. The map of humanity isn't settled, not now, not ever.
As climate change tips toward full-blown crisis, economies collapse, governments destabilise and technology disrupts, we're entering a new age of mass migrations - one that will scatter both the dispossessed and the well-off. Which areas will people abandon and where will they resettle? Which countries will accept or reject them? As today's world population, which includes four billion restless youth, votes with their feet, what map of human geography will emerge?
Here global strategy advisor Parag Khanna provides an illuminating and authoritative vision of the next phase of human civilisation - one that is both mobile and sustainable. As the book explores, in the years ahead people will move to where the resources are and technologies will flow to the people who need them, returning us to our nomadic roots while building more secure habitats. Move is a fascinating look at the deep trends that are shaping the most likely scenarios for the future. Most importantly, it guides each of us as we determine our optimal location on humanity's ever-changing map.
