Konigliche Hochzeiten
Few occasions have the power to thrill us like a royal wedding. This spring, the world watched as Prince William and Kate Middleton exchanged their vows. Both as public events and personal milestones, these ceremonies are storybook endings--and bright beginnings. Whether she carries the charisma of Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria or the allure of Lady Di, each bride is a living fairytale. And on the 29th of April, 2011, Princess Catherine joined the tradition of royal beauties. Of course, we mustn't overlook the royal grooms--every prince from Felipe to Rainier is a legendary knight in arms. Royal weddings provide the opportunity for nations to celebrate their age-old customs. These grand events embody a young couple's love, and a country's faith in its own future.

Annapurna - The First Conquest of an 8000-Metre Peak
One of the great works of mountaineering literature
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOE SIMPSON
In 1950, no mountain higher than 8,000 meters had ever been climbed. Maurice Herzog and other members of the French Alpine Club resolved to try. This is the enthralling story of the first conquest of Annapurna and the harrowing descent. With breathtaking courage and grit manifest on every page, Annapurna is one of the greatest adventure stories ever told.
As well as an introduction by Joe Simpson, this new edition includes 16 pages of photographs, which provide a remarkable visual record of this legendary expedition.
The distinguished French mountaineer Maurice Herzog was leader of the 1950 expedition to Annapurna. He was one of the two climbers to reach the summit.
Evolutionary Void
The conclusion to the Void Trilogy, started with The Dreaming Void and followed up by The Temporal Void. Millions of Leaving Dream pilgrims are on board their ships, heading into the Void. There they expect to live perfect lives in a perfectable world, but the cost of this perfection could not be greater. Among those who will do anything to prevent the pilgrims entering the Void is the recluse Ozzie; Gore Burnelli, the oldest and most influential human being alive; the Delivery Man, a one-time faction agent with devastating firepower at his disposal; and the legendary Paula Myo, the Commonwealths ruthless, unstoppable field operative. They must succeed if the galaxy is to survive and, needless to say, time is running out . . .

High Voltage - Magasfeszültség - Angus Young élete
Angus Young, az AC/DC egyik alapítója, a banda utolsó megmaradt eredeti tagja több mint negyven éve arca, hangja és néha kivillantott csupasz alfele a legendás ausztrál rockzenekarnak.
Védjegyének számító iskolai egyenruhájában, nyakában ikonikus Gibson SG gitárjával Angus hosszú utat járt be, mire zenekarának külvárosi kocsmákban adott korai fellépései végül több tízezres stadionkoncertekké nőtték ki magukat, ő maga pedig egy emigráns skót munkáscsalád ismeretlen gyermekéből a hard rock világhírű gitárosává lett. A Magasfeszültség az első olyan könyv, amely kizárólag Angus alakjára koncentrálva meséli el a zenekar viszontagságokkal és sikerekkel teli kalandos történetét, magával ragadó részletességgel bemutatva, ahogyan Angus egyedülálló gitárjátéka, fáradhatatlan színpadi energiája és csillapíthatatlan sikeréhsége évtizedeken át nem csak egyben, de egyúttal a rockzene csúcsán is tartotta az AC/DC-t.

So, Anyway...
Candid and brilliantly funny, this is the story of how a tall, shy youth from Weston-super-Mare went on to become a self-confessed legend. En route, John Cleese describes his nerve-racking first public appearance, at St Peter's Preparatory School at the age of eight and five-sixths; his endlessly peripatetic home life with parents who seemed incapable of staying in any house for longer than six months; his first experiences in the world of work as a teacher who knew nothing about the subjects he was expected to teach; his hamster-owning days at Cambridge; and his first encounter with the man who would be his writing partner for over two decades, Graham Chapman. And so on to his dizzying ascent via scriptwriting for Peter Sellers, David Frost, Marty Feldman and others to the heights of Monty Python. Punctuated from time to time with John Cleese's thoughts on topics as diverse as the nature of comedy, the relative merits of cricket and waterskiing, and the importance of knowing the dates of all the kings and queens of England, this is a masterly performance by a former schoolmaster.

Quiet Leadership
The legendary football coach finally tells his story and reveals his management secrets Carlo Ancelotti is one of the greatest managers of all time. With three Champions League trophies, and multiple league and cup titles from AC Milan to Chelsea to Real Madrid, his record is second to none. Yet Ancelotti's managerial approach could not be further from the aggressive theatricals favoured by many of his rivals. Rather than imposing his will on superstar players, he builds team cultures through the relationships he develops - he allows talent to flourish. His understated style has earned him the fierce loyalty of the likes of David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo. In Quiet Leadership, Ancelotti reveals the full, riveting story of his managerial career - his methods, mentors, mistakes and greatest triumphs. He takes us right inside the dressing room to trace the characters, challenges and decisions that have shaped him. The result is both a scintillating memoir and a rare insight into the business of leadership.

Club Design
The word "disco" comes from the french "discothèque", a fusion between "disco" and "bibliothèque" which first came into use during World War II when the ban on jazz and dance halls gave rise to clandestine clubs and the figure of the "disc-jockey". Places like "Chez Régine" attracted the Parisian jet-jet, while in the US, "Le Club" in New York, and later the legendary "Studio 54" institutionalized a space characterized by stobe lights and mirror balls. Since then, clubs have experienced a transformation linked to the needs of a demanding party public eager to experience a wide range of sensations in an extreme and provocative decor. This publication presents an extensive compilation of the hottest clubs in the world's leading cities.

The Táin
[A] brilliant and altogether engaging new translation (Los Angeles Times) of the greatest epic in Irish literature Dating from the eighth century, The Táin is the oldest Irish epic, a mythic tale on par with Beowulf and The Aeneid. Following legendary warrior Cù Chulainn into his battle against the invading army of Connacht, The Táin is the story of the emergence of a hero, a paean to the Irish landscape, and a bawdy and contentious marital farce. In its first translation in forty years, Ciaran Carson brings this seminal work of Irish literature fully to life, capturing all of its visceral power in what acclaimed poets Seamus Heaney and Paul Muldoon individually called one of the best books of the year.
Brandauer inszeniert Die Dreigroschenoper von Brecht & Weill
Am 11.August 2006 feiert Berlin eine Premiere der besonderen Art: die legendäre Dreigroschenoper von Bertolt Brecht und Kurt Weill, inszeniert von Klaus Maria Brandauer im Admiralspalast. Campino spielt den Mackie Messer, Gottfried John und Katrin Saß sind Herr und Frau Peachum. Das opulent bebilderte Begleitbuch enthält alles, was man als Besucher wissen will, und ist doch weit mehr als ein Programmbegleiter: Vielstimmig, fundiert und kurzweilig dokumentiert es das spektakuläre Bühnenereignis, aber auch die Begeisterung des Ensembles. Geschichte und Mythos von Brechts größtem Publikumserfolg werden dargestellt, Brandauer spricht mit Barbara Brecht-Schall, Campino schreibt Tagebuch über seine Annäherung an die Figur des Mackie Messer, zahlreiche Fotos und Beiträge von Mitgliedern des Ensembles führen hinter die Kulissen der Inszenierung – und holen die Bühne ins Buch.

My Story
Nicknamed 'the Ledge' on account of his legendary status, John Greig has been voted the greatest Ranger of all time by the fans and his statue stands outside Ibrox. His achievements speak for themselves: numerous Scottish Championships and Cups, captain of the successful European Cup-Winners' Cup side of 1972 and the only member of three Treble-winning sides. He also captained his country, winning 44 caps for Scotland. In 1978 he moved from the dressing room to the Rangers manager's office where he enjoyed Cup sucesses but never quite reached the heights he achieved as a player. Here he recounts the highs and lows of his career and relives classic moments on the pitch and numerous off-the-pitch antics with both club and country.

Birds without Wings

When war is declared and the outside world intrudes, the twin scourges of religion and nationalism lead to forced marches and massacres, and the peaceful fabric of life is destroyed. Philothei, a Christian girl of legendary beauty, and Ibrahim the Goatherd who has courted her since infancy are but two of the many casualties. With the end of a community that once transcended religious differences, their great love seems destined to end in tragedy and madness..."

Silent Girl
In the murky shadows of an alley lies a female’s severed hand. On the tenement rooftop above is the corpse belonging to that hand, a red-haired woman dressed all in black, the body nearly decapitated. Two strands of silver hair — not human — cling to her body. They are Rizzoli’s only clues, but they’re enough for her and medical examiner Maura Isles to make a startling discovery: This violent death had a chilling prequel. Nineteen years earlier, a horrifying murder-suicide in a Chinatown restaurant left five people dead. One woman connected to that massacre is still alive: a mysterious martial arts master who knows a secret she dares not tell, a secret that lives and breathes in the shadows of Chinatown. A secret that may not even be human. Now she’s the target of someone, or something, deeply and relentlessly evil. Cracking a crime resonating with bone-chilling echoes of an ancient Chinese legend, Rizzoli and Isles must outwit an unseen enemy with centuries of cunning — and a swift, avenging blade.
