The blood feud between Duke Leto of Caladon and Baron Vladimir Harkonnen reaches its climax, as the emperor Shaddam - leader of House Corrino - is finally forced to curb the powerful Harkonnens or risk losing his own throne. Menawhile, Duke Leto's beautiful concubie, the Bene Gesserit temptress Jessica, - has conceived the boy who become Paul Atreides (the hero of Dune), defying the express orders of her superiors. The book culminates in a war - on Dune, on the oppressed planet Ix, in space - that will alter the balance of power for a generation.
VSI The Cold War
The massive disorder and economic ruin following the Second World War inevitably predetermined the scope and intensity of the Cold War. But why did it last so long? And what impact did it have on the United States, the Soviet Union, Europe, and the Third World? Finally, how did it affect the broader history of the second half of the twentieth century--what were the human and financial costs? This Very Short Introduction provides a clear and stimulating interpretive overview of the Cold War, one that will both invite debate and encourage deeper investigation.
On Board Flight 666
The first and only official book from Britain's biggest heavy-metal band. IRON MAIDEN are a global phenomenon. On board their customised Boeing 757 plane named Ed Force One, and piloted by lead singer and airline captain Bruce Dickinson, the band, crew and 12 tonnes of equipment traversed the planet and broke the mould of traditional touring forever by playing concerts in every continent except Antarctica! Setting off in early 2008 on the Somewhere Back In Time world tour, through to the epic Final Frontier tour, Maiden finally played two sold-out shows in their native London. The Final Frontier tour celebrated their 15th and most successful studio album to date, hitting the No.1 spot in at least 28 countries. The band's official photographer John McMurtrie accompanied them on the tours and his unrestricted access allowed him to capture exclusive images and moments both onstage and off, in over 600 spectacular photographs annotated with individual insights and anecdotes. ON BOARD FLIGHT 666 provides an unprecedented insight into one of the most adventurous rock tours ever undertaken; and into what makes this band so special.

A ketogén csoda
Gerle Éva blogger-újságíró, író 2015 tavaszán kezdte a ketogén diétát s vele együtt a komoly edzéseket. Életmódváltása eredeti célja nem a fogyás volt (bár ismert a ketogénnek ilyen hatása is), "hanem az, hogy megtaláljam az elveszett kapcsolatot a testem és a tudatom között. Értsem, mit jelez a testem, mikor vagyok fáradt, túlterhelt, szomjas, éhes, és lehetőleg csak akkor egyek, ha igazi éhséget érzek, és e megértés ahhoz segítsen hozzá, hogy kicsattanóan jó közérzettel, sokáig, egészségben éljek. Befektetésnek szántam a ketogént a jövőbe. Hittem abban, hogy ha helyreállítom azt, amit az életmódommal korábban elrontottam, akkor a testem jelez, és akkor annyit fogok enni, amennyire szükségem van, és mozogni is annyit fogok, amennyi az optimális formához kell, és ezek eredménye lesz az én igazi testem, alkatom. És így is lett."
A szerző azért akarja megosztani tudását és tapasztalatait a ketogén életmódról, hogy hozzásegítse az érdeklődőket ennek az "egyszerű, értelmes, bárki számára felfogható, alkalmazható rendszer" megismeréséhez. Mint írja, "ez a magyarított-kipróbált ketogén élhető gyakorlat, amelynek csak néhány fontos alapelve van."
A szénhidrát- és gabonaalapú étrend helyett egy gazdag fehérje- és zöldségforrásokra, valamint aktív edzésre épülő életmódot hirdet ez a "magyar ketogén", mely merít a paleóból is. Bár szemléletváltást is követel, de "a ketogén nem morális meggyőződés, nem ideológia, nem kell benne hinni, nem kell akarni, pozitívan gondolni rá - anélkül is működik.
A ketogén felelős, tudatos döntés, felnőttséget és önállóságot igényel. Aki sikeres ketóst én láttam, mind okos és elkötelezett volt, bizonyos vagányság, lazaság jellemezte, és keményen sportolt."
Akinek szeme előtt ez a cél lebeg, az haszonnal forgathatja Gerle Éva könyvét.

The Wolf and the Woodsman
Stories don't have to be true to be real...
In her forest-veiled pagan village, Evike is the only woman without power, making her an outcast clearly abandoned by the gods. When soldiers arrive from the Holy Order of Woodsmen to claim a pagan girl for the king's blood sacrifice, Evike is betrayed by her fellow villagers and surrendered.
But when monsters attack the Woodsmen and their captive en route, slaughtering everyone but Evike and the cold, one-eyed captain, they have no choice but to rely on each other. Except he's no ordinary Woodsman - he's the disgraced prince, Gaspar Barany, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power. Gaspar fears that his cruelly zealous brother plans to seize the throne and instigate a violent reign that would damn the pagans and the Yehuli alike. As the son of a reviled foreign queen, Gaspar understands what it's like to be an outcast, and he and Evike make a tenuous pact to stop his brother.
As their mission takes them from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked capital, their mutual loathing slowly turns to affection, bound by a shared history of alienation and oppression. However, trust can easily turn to betrayal, and as Evike reconnects with her estranged father and discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gaspar need to decide whose side they're on, and what they're willing to give up for a nation that never cared for them at all.

Beard Peter Fo
Finally available in the trade edition: TASCHEN's massive, two-volume collection of Peter Beard's photos, diaries, and collages.Photographer, collector, diarist, and writer of books Peter Beard has fashioned his life into a work of art; the illustrated diaries he kept from a young age evolved into a serious career as an artist and earned him a central position in the international art world. He was painted by Francis Bacon, painted on by Salvador Dali, and made diaries with Andy Warhol; he toured with Truman Capote and the Rolling Stones, created books with Jacqueline Onassis and Mick Jagger - all of whom are brought to life, literally and figuratively, in his work. As a fashion photographer, he took "Vogue" stars like Veruschka to Africa and brought new ones - most notably Iman - back to the U.S. with him.His love affair with natural history and wildlife, which informs most of his work, began when he was a teenager. He had read the books of Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen) and after spending time in Kenya and befriending the author, bought a piece of land near hers. It was the early 1960s and the big game hunters led safaris, with all the colonial elements Beard had read about in "Out of Africa" characterizing the open life and landscape, but the times were changing. Beard witnessed the dawn of Kenya's population explosion, which challenged finite resources and stressed animal populations - including the starving elephants of Tsavo, dying by the tens of thousands in a wasteland of eaten trees. So he documented what he saw - with diaries, photographs, and collages. He went against the wind in publishing unique and sometimes shocking books of these works. The corpses were laid bare; the facts were carefully written down sometimes in type, often by hand, occasionally with blood.Peter Beard's most important collages are included, along with hundreds of smaller-scale works and diaries, magnified to show every detail - from Beard's meticulous handwriting and old-master-inspired drawings to stones and bones and bits of animals pasted to the page.The special features include: two volumes in a cloth slipcase; a main book with 200 pages of diaries and 294 pages of collages + 5 fold-outs; an original essay by photo critic Owen Edwards; and a companion volume: PB2 image index with captions for all images from main book, personal photos and early work of the artist, interview with the artist by Steven M. L. Aronson, a facsimile reprint of Beard's 1993 handwritten essay from the sold-out first issue of "Blind Spot' magazine, extensive bibliography, and a list of exhibition.Finally available in the trade edition: this large-format special edition is based on the original limited Collector's Edition, which sold out instantly upon publication.

Nicolas le Floch Affair
This novel opens at the beginning of the year 1774, the last year of Louis XV's reign. Over fifteen years have passed since the first novel in the series, THE CHATELET APPRENTICE, and Nicolas is by now well established in his police career, and in his position as a trustee of King Louis XV. The only fly in the ointment is his fraught relationship with a wealthy widow, Julie de Lasterieux. When Julie is found dead in suspicious circumstances following an argument with Nicolas, he quickly becomes the prime suspect. Although the King and his police boss, Sartine, believe in his innocence, Nicolas has many enemies keen to strengthen the case against him. To deflect attention, Nicolas is sent on a secret Royal mission to London to negotiate the silence of the publisher of a number of scurrilous pamphlets about the King's mistresses. When an attempt is made on his life en route to London, Nicolas starts to wonder whether the attempt to frame him for murder is part of a wider political conspiracy. On his return to Paris, Nicolas has to continue the fight to clear his name and unmask the culprit, as well as helping attend the ailing King. This novel is an intelligent and well-researched historical thriller, crammed with details about the food, politics and social conditions of the time. Parot doesn't stint on showing us the mud, muck and degrading living conditions of the poor in pre-revolutionary France, in contrast to the luxurious life enjoyed by the Royal family and their courtiers at Versailles. In the character of the more working class detective Bourdeau, Nicolas' assistant, Parot neatly depicts the growing tension between the people and the privileged aristocracy. At times though, the plot can seem a little slowed by discussions of food and recipes by the characters, and by the political gossip, which can be a touch confusing notwithstanding the useful provision of a dramatis personae at the beginning of the book. Overall, THE NICOLAS LE FLOCH AFFAIR maintains the high standards of the series, but would not be the obvious starting point for a reader new to the series.
