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

A House in the Mountains
The extraordinary story of the courageous women who spearheaded the Italian Resistance during the Second World War
In the late summer of 1943, when Italy changed sides in the War and the Germans - now their enemies - occupied the north of the country, an Italian Resistance was born. Ada, Frida, Silvia and Bianca were four young Piedmontese women who joined the Resistance, living clandestinely in the mountains surrounding Turin. They were not alone. Between 1943 and 1945, as the Allies battled their way north, thousands of men and women throughout occupied Italy rose up and fought to liberate their country from the German invaders and their Fascist collaborators.
The bloody civil war that ensued across the country pitted neighbour against neighbour, and brought out the best and worst in Italian society. The courage shown by the partisans was exemplary, and eventually bound them together as a coherent fighting force. The women's contribution was invaluable - they fought, carried messages and weapons, provided safe houses, laid mines and took prisoners. Ada's house deep in the mountains became a meeting place and refuge for many of them.
The death rattle of Mussolini's two decades of Fascist rule - with its corruption, greed and anti-Semitism was unrelentingly violent, but for the partisan women it was also a time of camaraderie and equality, pride and optimism. They had proved, to themselves and to the world, what resolve, tenacity and, above all, exceptional courage could achieve.

The World Between Blinks - A pislantások közötti világ
Hova kerül mindaz, ami eltűnik ebből a világból?
A fél pár zoknik, az elsüllyedt városok, a kihalt őshüllők?
Marisol és Jake vonzza a kalandokat.
Ezt néhai nagymamájuknak köszönhetik, a legendás utazónak
és kincsvadásznak. Amikor Nana halála után a kiterjedt család
még egyszer összegyűlik a nagymama tengerparti otthonában,
a két unokatestvér belevág egy rendkívüli utazásba.
Egy térkép alapján, amit a házban találnak, titokban kihajóznak egy közeli világítótoronyhoz - és egy másik világban találják magukat.
A Pislantások közötti világ varázslatos hely, itt lyukad ki minden, ami a mi világunkban elveszik. Jake és Marisol lépten-nyomon olyan emberekbe és tárgyakba botlik, akikről és amikről a történészek nem tudják, hova tűntek. Mint például Amelia Earhart pilóta vagy az elsüllyedt Atlantisz. De a férfi, aki a hazatérésük kulcsa lehetne, nem akarja, hogy megtalálják őt, és ha a gyerekek nem kerítik kézre gyorsan, örökre az elveszettek világában ragadhatnak.
Vessz el te is e csodás világban!

Skin in the Game
THE TOP TEN BESTSELLER
From the bestselling author of The Black Swan, a bold book that challenges many of our long-held beliefs about risk and reward, politics and religion, finance and personal responsibility
Why should we never listen to people who explain rather than do? Why do companies go bust? How is it that we have more slaves today than in Roman times? Why does imposing democracy on other countries never work?
The answer: too many people running the world don't have skin in the game. In his inimitable, pugnacious style, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows that skin in the game applies to all aspects of our lives. It's about having something to lose and taking a risk. Citizens, lab experimenters, artisans, political activists and hedge fund traders all have skin in the game. Policy wonks, corporate executives, theoreticians, bankers and most journalists don't.
As Taleb says, "The symmetry of skin in the game is a simple rule that's necessary for fairness and justice, and the ultimate BS-buster," and "Never trust anyone who doesn't have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them".

The History of Western Art (EN)
What is art? Why do we value images of saints, kings, goddesses, battles, landscapes or cities from eras of history utterly remote from ourselves? This history of art shows how painters, sculptors and architects have expressed the belief systems of their age: religious, political and aesthetic. From the ancient civilisations of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece, to the revolutionary years of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the artist has acted as a mirror to the ideals and conflicts of the human mind.

From famous locations such as Versailles to the simplest home vegetable gardens, from worlds imagined by artists to vintage family photos, The Photographer in the Garden traces the garden’s rich history in photography and delights readers with spectacular pictures.

An informative essay from curator Jamie M. Allen and picture-commentaries by Sarah Anne McNear broaden our understanding of photography and how it has been used to record the glory of the garden. Spanning the history of the medium itself, the book features photographers from all eras, including Anna Atkins, Karl Blossfeldt, Eugene Atget, Edward Steichen, Imogen Cunningham, Edward Weston, Stephen Shore, Robert Mapplethorpe, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Collier Schorr, to name a few.
