The Art of the Hobbit
A sumptuous full colour art book containing the complete collection of more than 100 sketches, drawings, paintings and maps created by J.R.R. Tolkien for The Hobbit.
When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit, he was already an accomplished amateur artist, and drew illustrations for his book while it was still in manuscript. The Hobbit as first printed had ten black and white pictures, two maps, and binding and dust-jacket designs by its author. Later, Tolkien also painted five scenes for colour plates which are some of his best work. His illustrations for The Hobbit add an extra dimension to that remarkable book, and have long influenced how readers imagine Bilbo Baggins and his world.
The Art of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien is the complete collection of the artwork created by the author for his story. Including related pictures, more than one hundred sketches, drawings, paintings, maps, and plans are presented here, preliminary and alternate versions and experimental designs as well as finished art. Using fresh digital scans from the Bodleian Libraries in Oxford and Marquette University in Wisconsin, Tolkien’s Hobbit pictures can be seen more vividly than ever before.
Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, two of the world’s leading Tolkien scholars, have edited the book and provide an expert introduction and comments. Readers who have enjoyed The Art of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien will find much of interest also in The Art of The Hobbit.
Saving the Planet Without the Bullshit
Have you heard that you should plant trees to save the planet? Or buy carbon offsets when you fly? Or recycle plastic? Go vegan? Or not have children? What if all these actions were a distraction, no matter how well-intentioned?
In this provocative manifesto, Assaad Razzouk shows that for too long our ideas about what's best for the environment have been unfocused and distracted, trying to go in too many directions and concentrating on individual behaviour. While some of these things can be useful, they are dwarfed by one big thing that simply has to happen very soon if we're to avoid major environmental breakdown: curtailing the activities of the fossil fuel industry.
Full of counter-intuitive statistics and positive suggestions for individual and collective action, this ingenious book will change how you view the climate crisis.

Thinking About Ordinary Things
Jak vyučovat filosofii mladé disidenty, kterým komunistický režim odepřel možnost získat vyšší vzdělání? Autor této knihy, někdejší disident, programátor a příležitostný politik, se pokouší uplatnit své zkušenosti při výuce na vysoké škole. Tato kniha není vyprávěním o filosofii a filosofech, ale je spíš pozvánkou. Jejím cílem je nejprve vzbudit ve čtenáři zájem a vést ho k samostatnému filosofickému myšlení. Ve zhruba třiceti krátkých kapitolách, které se zabývají širokým spektrem témat v závěru doplněných otázkami, čtenáři ukazuje, že filosofie není jen specializovanou disciplínou, ale že je spíš způsobem myšlení, který může a měl by být používán kdekoliv.

The List
ONLINE RUMOURS. REAL LIFE TROUBLE.
Ola Olajide, a high-profile journalist, is marrying the love of her life in one month's time. Young, beautiful, successful – she and her fiancé Michael seem to have it all.
That is, until one morning when they both wake up to the same message:
‘Oh my god, have you seen The List?’
It began as a list of anonymous allegations about abusive men. Now it has been published online. Ola made her name breaking exactly this type of story. She would usually be the first to cover it, calling for the men to be fired. Except today, Michael’s name is on there.
With their future on the line, Ola gives Michael an ultimatum to prove his innocence by their wedding day, but will the truth of what happened change everything for both of them?
The Girl with the Red Hair
An unputdownable debut charting the thrilling life and heroism of Hannie Schaft, a young-woman-turned-Dutch-Resistance-fighter in Nazi-occupied Netherlands.
Hannie Schaft didn't train to be a soldier: she had dreams of her own. But dreams die in wartime, and her friends are no longer safe.
Hiding them is not enough. Hannie is young but she won't stand aside as the menace of Nazi evil tightens its grip on her country. Recruited into the Resistance, she learns to shoot and is notorious for not missing her targets.
As she draws deeper into a web of plots, disguises and assassinations, whispers spread like wildfire amongst enemies and friends alike. They know her name. She's "the Girl with Red Hair." A match for any Nazi soldier, a true threat, a target.
Buzzy Jackson's debut is an unputdownable novel of love, loyalty, and the limits we confront when our deepest values are tested.

A tökéletlenség ereje
Fedezd fel a szeretethez vezető legegyszerűbb és legrövidebb utat, hiszen a szeretet benned lakozik, te magad vagy!
Mindannyian szeretetre vágyunk, és minden tettünknek ez a mozgatórugója. Ahogy azonban a like-okat számolgatjuk a közösségi médiában, és a bankszámlaegyenlegünkkel mérjük saját értékünket, arra programozzuk magunkat, hogy a szeretetet ki kell érdemelnünk, vagy el kell nyernünk. Ez a beidegződés elhomályosítja azt az alapigazságot, hogy mi magunk vagyunk a szeretet végtelen és örök forrása. Ahelyett, hogy a külvilágban kutatnánk utána, nekünk kell azzá válnunk.
„A szeretetet nem kell kiérdemelni vagy keresni, csak észre kell venni.”
Humble the Poet őszinte, közvetlen és inspiráló gondolatainak segítségével megtalálhatjuk az utat a mindannyiunkban ott rejlő, eredendő szeretet és önértékelés felé. Univerzális útmutató ez, ami minden oldalról és szögből megvizsgálja, mi is a szeretet, és miként élhetjük meg igazán ezt az érzést.
Fedezd fel az egyszerű igazságokat, amelyekkel elnézőbbé válhatsz magaddal szemben, elfogadhatod a hibáidat, a tökéletlenségedet, és megtanulhatod őszintén szeretni önmagad és másokat.
Ismerd fel az életedben tornyosuló, negatív mintákat, és tanulj meg jobb döntéseket hozni a jövőben. Ahelyett, hogy több pénzre, nagyobb teljesítményre vagy több figyelemre törekednél, tisztítsd meg a szeretet útjait, hogy eljuthasson hozzád, és teljes pompájában kibontakozhasson!
„Szeretni sokkal fontosabb, mint maga a szeretet.
A szeretet felismerése és megtapasztalása azt jelenti, hogy gyakoroljuk és megosztjuk azt.”
Ne keresd hát a szeretetet, inkább járd bátran az útját!

You Will be Able to Take Great Photos by The End of This Book
Do you want to take photos that make people say 'wow'?
Photography has never been so easy; nor has it ever been so hard. Digital cameras and smartphones can deliver perfect exposures and pin-sharp focus time after time, but the tech alone won't create draw-dropping imagery, or supply the sort of photos that stand out in a sea of online visual overload.
Stripped of pointless jargon and focusing instead on the most important element in the image-making process - the person holding the camera or phone - this book makes good on its promise to teach the key skills and mind-set for taking great photos on any device.
- Gain the core skills needed by every photographer
- Learn to see the world as a photo opportunity
- Discover the tools that will raise your photography to the next level
- Develop a visual sense that can be applied to a range of photographic situations

Sia - Music: Songs From And Inspired By The Motion Picture LP
KDO: Sia Kate Isobelle Furler je v hudebním světě známá především jako velmi úspěšná zpěvačka a skladatelka. Narodila se v Austrálii a začínala jako členka acid jazzové kapely Crisp. V roce 1997, kdy se skupina rozpadla, Sia natočila svůj sólový debut OnlySee a přestěhovala se do Londýna, kde našla nové spřízněné duše. Se supinou Zero 7 vydala několik úspěšných desek a dále zkoušela štěstí jako sólistka. Po několika nevydařených pokusech se znovu přestěhovala, tentokrát do New Yorku a uspěla jako skladatelka. Napsala několik světových hitů pro Davida Guettu, Flo Ridu nebo Rihannu a v letech 2014 a 2016 se deskami 1000 Forms Of Fear a This Is Acting prosadila i jako zpěvačka.
CO: Nová deska zpěvačky zároveň funguje jako hudební doprovod k filmu Music. Základní scénář snímku sepsala sama protagonistka už v roce 2007, dotvořit ho do finální podoby jí nyní pomohl spisovatel a ilustrátor Dallas Clayton, jenž se proslavil sérií dětských příběhů Awesome Book. Hlavní role ve filmu ztvárnili Kate Hudson, Leslie Odom Jr. a Maddie Ziegler. Hudební produkce jednotlivých skladeb se ujali třeba Greg Kurstin, Jack Antonoff nebo Jesse Shatkin, v singlovce Hey Boy hostuje hvězda afrického rapu Burna Boy (spolupracoval například s Chrisem Martinem z Coldplay, Lily Allen, Edem Sheeranem a Stormzym, Fall Out Boy, Pop Smokem, Beyoncé, Samem Smithem apod.).
