The Modern Gardener
'Frances Tophill is not only a qualified horticulturalist but is fast becoming the fresh new face of television gardening.' Daily Mail
We no longer just want to garden, we want to engage with the land; the plants in it, the animals, insects and even the fungi. The Modern Gardener isn't just about creating a space that simply looks visually stunning, but about encouraging wildlife, reducing our carbon footprint and making our outdoor and indoor space more useful in all areas of our lives.
As well as how to select and grow your plants, there is also information for how to design your garden alongside a variety of plant-based recipes - from delicious drinks to natural dyes - that can easily be made at home.
Lacná kniha Africa (-70%)
Sebastiao Salgado is one the most respected photojournalists working today, his reputation forged by decades of dedication and powerful black and white images of dispossessed and distressed people taken in places where most wouldnt dare to go. Altho
ugh he has photographed throughout South America and around the globe, his work most heavily concentrates on Africa, where he has shot more than 40 reportage works over a period of 30 years. From the Dinka tribes in Sudan and the Himba in Namibia to
gorillas and volcanoes in the lakes region to displaced peoples throughout the continent, Salgado shows us all facets of African life today. Whether hes documenting refugees or vast landscapes, Salgado knows exactly how to grab the essence of a mome
nt so that when one sees his images one is involuntarily drawn into them. His images artfully teach us the disastrous effects of war, poverty, disease, and hostile climatic conditions. This book brings together Salgados photos of Africa in three par
ts. The first concentrates on the southern part of the continent (Mozambique, Malawi, Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia), the second on the Great Lakes region (Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya), and the third on the Sub-Saharan r
egion (Burkina Faso, Mali, Sudan, Somalia, Chad, Mauritania, Senegal, Ethiopia). Texts are provided by renowned Mozambique novelist Mia Couto, who describes how todays Africa reflects the effects of colonization as well as the consequences of econom
ic, social, and environmental crises.

Lacná kniha Bruce Weber, Roberto Bolle
Roberto Bolle: An Athlete In Tights is a new photography book by Bruce Weber that celebrates his three-year collaboration with the Italian ballet sensation.
Roberto Bolle was born in Casale Monferrato, Italy. At a young age, he entered the Teatro alla Scala ballet school. Rudolf Nureyev was the first to notice his talent and chose Roberto to interpret Tadzio in the ballet Death in Venice. In 1996, at the end of a Romeo and Juliet performance, and just 2 years after he joined the Theatre Company, Roberto was promoted to principal by Elisabetta Terabust who was at that time the Director of the Corp de Ballet. Since then he has starred in many contemporary and classical ballets and he has been invited as a guest artist to work with the most prestigious ballet companies in the world. In recent years, his international acclaim has only grown. Roberto is now the first male Italian ballet dancer to join the American Ballet Theatre as a principal.
In his new monograph, Bruce Weber has captured the spectacular convergence of artistry and physicality in this dance phenomenon, the grace and beauty that have captivated Roberto’s audiences around the world.
The book is largely pictorial in nature [127 duotone and 24 color plates] with original photography and writing by Bruce Weber, original writing by Roberto Bolle, texts by D.H. Lawrence and Pier Paolo Passolini, and illustrations by Paul Cadmus and Jeremiah Goodman.

Hauntings
For longer than recorded history there have been tales of spirits and of places where our hackles rise and our skin turns cold.
Bestselling historian Neil Oliver travels the British Isles on a deliciously spine-chilling tour that spans several centuries and explores more than 20 sites - castles, vicarages and towers, lonely shorelines and forgotten battlefields - to unpick their stories..
Oliver invokes his family's history alongside that of kings and queens past as he probes why our emotions and senses are heightened in certain locations where the separation between dimensions seems gossamer thin. Our landscape is riven with these places, creaking from the weight of the secrets they hold, the echoes of tragedy and dark deeds . From Inverness to Devon, Co Dublin to Norfolk, Hauntings casts an enjoyably eerie glow with stories that, told generation after generation, are inextricable from place - and considers why they matter.
Troy: Lord of the Silver Bow: Lord of the Silver Bow No.1
Three lives will change the destiny of nations. Helikaon, the young prince of Dardania, haunted by a scarred and traumatic childhood. The priestess Andromache, whose fiery spirit and fierce independence threatens the might of kings. And the legendary
warrior Argurios, cloaked in loneliness and driven only by thoughts of revenge. In Troy, they find a city torn apart by destructive rivalries - a maelstrom of jealousy, deceit and murderous treachery. And beyond its fabled walls blood-hungry enemies
eye its riches and plot its downfall. It is a time of bravery and betrayal; a time of bloodshed and fear. A time for heroes.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku a

Slow Productivity : The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout
From the New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work, a groundbreaking philosophy for pursuing meaningful accomplishment while avoiding overload.
Our current definition of “productivity” is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We’re overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices?
Long before the arrival of pinging inboxes and clogged schedules, history’s most creative and impactful philosophers, scientists, artists, and writers mastered the art of producing valuable work with staying power. In this timely and provocative book, Cal Newport harnesses the wisdom of these traditional knowledge workers to radically transform our modern jobs. Drawing from deep research on the habits and mindsets of a varied cast of storied thinkers – from Galileo and Isaac Newton, to Jane Austen and Georgia O’Keefe – Newport lays out the key principles of “slow productivity,” a more sustainable alternative to the aimless overwhelm that defines our current moment. Combining cultural criticism with systematic pragmatism, Newport deconstructs the absurdities inherent in standard notions of productivity, and then provides step-by-step advice for cultivating a slower, more humane alternative.
From the aggressive rethinking of workload management, to introducing seasonal variation, to shifting your performance toward long-term quality, Slow Productivity provides a roadmap for escaping overload and arriving instead at a more timeless approach to pursuing meaningful accomplishment. The world of work is due for a new revolution. Slow productivity is exactly what we need.

Aesops Fables
This timeless collection brings together three hundred of the most enduringly popular of Aesop's fables in a collection that will delight young and old readers alike. Here are all the age-old favorites-the wily fox, the vain peacock, the predatory cat, and steady tortoise-just as endearingly vivid and relevant now as they were for their very first audience.Although the three hundred fables in this collection are attributed to Aesop, and his name is synonymous with the form, it seems unlikely he was in fact anything more than a legendary figure. While some historical accounts maintain he was a slave with a prodigious talent for storytelling who lived during the sixth century B.C., many believe it unlikely that this whole stock of fables can be attributed to one individual.

Les Misérables-Seniors 4, bez CD
La publication des Misérables suscita dans les milieux littéraires et politiques un tollé général. « Livre dangereux », « livre immonde, inepte » ... selon les mots de Lamartine, faisait « trop craindre aux heureux et trop espérer aux malheureux ». Si la critique fut hostile, le peuple salua avec enthousiasme l’histoire de ces vies brimées par la faim et l’injustice et hantées par le malheur. Enfin un roman qui parlait des plus faibles, des ouvriers, des enfants affamés et maltraités. Car le scandale, en 1862, ce fut d’avoir osé nommer la misere, de l’avoir montrée et de lui avoir donné la parole.
Vydanie Les Misérables (Bedárov) vyvolalo v literárnych aj politických kruhoch búrlivú debatu. „Nebezpečná kniha“, „hriešna a hlúpa kniha“... slovami Lamartineho vyvoláva „v šťastných ľuďoch prílišné obavy a v nešťastných ľuďoch priveľké nádeje“.
Silná kritika knihy vzbudila záujem ľudí, ktorý si prečítali príbeh o živote v hlade, nespravodlivosti a nešťastí. Konečne sa objavil román, ktorý hovoril za robotníkov, vyhladované aj zneužívané deti.
V roku 1862 bol jeho počin zobraziť biedu ako takú veľmi odvážny a škandalózny.

Tajemství zlatého květu
Starý ezoterický text čínskeho taoizmu, ovplyvneného buddhizmom, konfucianizmom a snáď aj nestoriánskym kresťanstvom, preložil sinológ Richard Wilhem z čínštiny do nemčiny, doplnil odborným komentárom a požiadal svojho priateľa, slávneho psychológa C.G.Junga, o psychologický komentár. Text totiž obsahuje praktický návod k meditačným cvičeniam, umožňujúcim čínskemu adeptovi vymaniť sa z pút sveta, dosiahnuť zdravie a predovšetkým zrodenie "zlatej kvetiny", to jest duchovného znovuzrodenia
