Facebook - A közösségi oldal titkai
Botrányok és veszélyek nyomában! Mark Zuckerberg másodéves egyetemista korában megalkotott egy egyszerű weboldalt, amit az egyetemi campus közösségi hálójának szánt. Az oldal híre futótűzként terjedt a hallgatók között, és nemsokára már az ország minden szegletéből csatlakoztak tanulók a Facebookhoz. Ma a Facebook már egy cseppet sem hasonlít Zuckerberg első, egyszerű alkotásához. Techóriássá nőtte ki magát, a világ egyik legnagyobb és legbefolyásosabb cégévé. A Facebook ma már megkerülhetetlen, és szerves része az emberek mindennapjainak. Érezzük. A közelmúltban kirobbant botrányok nyomán – választásokat befolyásoló álhírprofilok, a felhasználók személyes adatainak aggályos felhasználása, alapítójának és CEO-jának aggasztó megnyilvánulásai – a cég körüli kényes kérdések egyre húsba vágóbbak lettek. Levy több száz, cégen belüli és cégen kívüli interjú elkészítése után vetette bele magát a közösségi média legsötétebb bugyraiba, hogy lehengerlő és lebilincselő stílusával feltárja előttünk a techóriás történetét, ami megváltoztatta a világot, és most viselnie kell a következményeket. Vagy mi viseljük a következményeket?
Sosem látott mélységben ismerhetjük meg a Facebook titkait. Nézz a kulisszák mögé!

Nightwish - Highest Hopes: The Best Of Nightwish CD
"Nightwish" je fínska symfonická metalová skupina z Kitee. Kapelu založili v roku 1996 hlavný skladateľ a klávesák Tuomas Holopainen, gitarista Emppu Vuorinen a bývalá vedúca speváčka Tarja Turunen. Po vydaní debutového albumu Angels Fall First (1997) skupina čoskoro prijala bubeníka Jukku Nevalainena a basgitaristu Samiho Vänskäho. V roku 2001 Vänskäa nahradil Marko Hietala, ktorý prevzal aj mužskú vokalistickú rolu, ktorú predtým plnili Holopainen alebo hosťujúci speváci. Nightwish je treťou najpredávanejšou skupinou a hudobným subjektom vo Fínsku s certifikovaným predajom takmer 900 000 certifikovaných kópií. Skupina je tiež celosvetovo najúspešnejšou fínskou skupinou, predala viac ako 10 miliónov nahrávok a získala viac ako 60 zlatých a platinových ocenení, pričom vydala šesť albumov číslo 1 a trinásť singlov číslo 1. 26. októbra 2018 bola Nightwish uvedená do fínskej hudobnej siene slávy a stala sa 11. členom čestnej galérie.
"Highest Hopes: The Best of Nightwish" je štvrtý kompilačný album. Ich prvá, Tales from the Elvenpath, bola mnohými fanúšikmi považovaná za neúplnú, pretože obsahuje iba skladby od Oceanborn, Over the Hills a Far Away, Wishmaster a Century Child, pričom Angels Fall First vynechali. Táto kompilácia však obsahuje piesne zo všetkých predtým vydaných albumov Nightwish plus live cover „High Hopes“ od Pink Floyd.

The Big Penis Book
"Sirs" begins the missive from our imaginary correspondent. "It's not that I don't love your original Big Penis Book, but that, perhaps, I love it too much. I now become anxious leaving the house without it, and long business trips are simply torture. Couldn't you make a smaller, less obtrusive edition, still packed with men whose generative members measure over 8 inches, that doesn't form a suspiciously large bulge in my carry-on luggage? And while you're at it, could you make it highly affordable, since my pockets are as shallow as this premise?"
Done! The Big Penis Book features over 150 massively endowed models from the 1940s through the '90s, including photos by Bob Mizer of AMG, David Hurles of Old Reliable, Rip Colt of Colt Studio, Craig Calvin Anderson of Sierra Domino, Hal Roth of Filmco, Jim Jaeger of Third World Studios, Falcon Studios, Mike Arlen, Fred Bisonnes, Carlos Quiroz, and Charles Hovland in a compact and inexpensive format.
Photos come not just from the original overstuffed 384-page edition, but from subsequent Big Penis Calendars, meaning that 30% of the content is unique to this edition. Add a reduced text to make more room for the stunning black-and-white and color photos and how could anyone-big, small, or just right-ask for a better deal?
Plywood
Plywood is an astonishingly versatile material, made by gluing together layers of cross-grained veneers, creating a pliable board that can be stronger than solid wood. Stylish and practical, plywood offers huge possibilities for experimental design, and it has been used to make a wide range of products, from aeroplanes, boats and automobiles to architecture and furniture. This book traces the history of plywood from its use in 18th-century furniture, through its emergence as an industrial product in the 19th century, to a material celebrated by 20th-century modernists such as Alvar Aalto and Charles and Ray Eames. An ideal material for the digital age, plywood has become popular again in recent years and is widely used in contemporary design and manufacture. Produced to accompany an exhibition at the V&A, this book is the first comprehensive study of the history of plywood and its myriad applications throughout the ages, unveiling the stories behind objects that surround us and that we often take for granted.
