Fatherland
What do we owe the past? How to make peace with a dark family history? Burkhard Bilger hardly knew his grandfather growing up. His parents immigrated to Oklahoma from Germany after World War II, and though his mother was an historian, she rarely talked about her father or what he did during the war. Then one day a packet of letters arrived from Germany, yellowing with age, and a secret history began to unfold.
Karl Gönner was a schoolteacher and Nazi party member from the Black Forest. In 1940, he was sent to a village in occupied France and tasked with turning its children into proper Germans. A fervent Nazi when the war began, he grew close to the villagers over the next four years, till he came to think of himself as their protector, shielding them from his own party’s brutality. Yet he was arrested in 1946 and accused of war crimes. Was he guilty or innocent? A vicious collaborator or just an ordinary man, struggling to atone for his country’s crimes? Bilger goes to Germany to find out.
What follows is a literary suspense story: a tale of chance encounters and serendipitous discoveries in villages and dusty archives across Germany and France. Intimate and far-reaching, Fatherland is an extraordinary odyssey through the great upheavals of the past century, tracing one family’s path through history’s wreckage.
For readers of Bart van Es’s The Cut Out Girl or Edmund de Waal’s The Hare with the Amber Eyes, this is a story of middle lands, torn allegiances and loaded family inheritance.
1000 Vases (Bilingual edition)
A chunky, giftable compendium of beautiful vases by emerging designers from around the world
A vase is never merely a container. As Georges Braque once said, the vase gives form to emptiness: ever since the earliest human civilizations, this object has had a purpose that is greater than its function and it perennially invites experimentation in shape and expression.
The 1,000 vases presented in this book offer an eloquent demonstration of this fact. They come from 35 different countries and more than 80% of them have been made by women or independent designers and artists born between 1988 and 1993--each of whom was invited to create a free interpretation of the same archetype, resulting in a spectrum of the infinite creativity inspired by the many possible versions of a single item. Made from an enormous range of materials (ceramic, terracotta, porcelain, metal, wood and glass, as well as natural fibers, industrial waste and recycled plastic), using techniques both ancient and ultramodern (3D printing) and belonging to different categories (from amphora to jar, jug to carafe), almost all sit on the borderline that simultaneously unites and separates art, design and craftsmanship.
Designers include: Yuta Segawa, Zhu Ohmu, Yonobi Studio, Angelika Kogevina, Anbar El Mokri, Andrea Maestri, Angelina Guez, Anna Jukova, Ariaana de Luca, Carey Lowell, Coco Brun, E Jockel, Gabriela Flores and many more.
A December to Remember
A December to Remember follows the three North sisters who rekindle their broken relationship in the wake of their father’s death.
Wildly different half-sisters Maggie, Simone and Star have hardly seen each other since their idyllic summers spent in the charming village of Rowan Thorp, the home of their eccentric father, Augustus. Known for the fruitful ways in which he and his bustling curiosity shop kept the towns tongues wagging and ladies swooning, Augustus was loved by all and known by none, not even his daughters.
Now, years later, the three estranged women are unexpectedly reunited at the reading of Augustus’s will. Maggie, Simone and Star are shocked to find out that Augustus has engineered a series of hoops through which the three women must jump to unlock their inheritance – the last thing any of them want to do. But each sister desperately needs the money, and they are in no position to rebel against their father's final wishes.
Spending the winter months at Rowan Thorp stirs up feelings with forgotten flames, and makes the sisters confront the lives they’ve left behind. As old wounds resurface and long-buried secrets come to light, the sisters must learn to work together if they hope to succeed. Sometimes the only way to move forward is to go back to where it all began . . .
A World History of Women Photographers
A magnificently illustrated showcase of the work of 300 women photographers from all over the world, from the invention of the medium to the dawn of the 21st century.
As in many fields of art history, the work of women photographers has often been overlooked, and few of their names are now widely recognized. However, women were closely involved in all major photography movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, and have used the camera as an extraordinary tool for emancipation and experimentation. These are artists who never stopped documenting, questioning and transforming the world, breaking down social boundaries, challenging gender roles and expressing their imagination and sexuality.
To capture the diversity of this global body of work, Luce Lebart and Marie Robert have invited 160 international women writers to contribute to this volume, which is a bold and beautifully illustrated manifesto as well as an invaluable work of reference.

Love, Pamela
Pamela Anderson's blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands during a Canadian football game, she was quickly launched into superstardom, becoming Playboy's favourite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sex appeal. Yet the Pamela Anderson we think we know was created through happenstance rather than careful cultivation. Love, Pamela brings forth her true story, that of a small town girl getting tangled up in her own dreams.
Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unwittingly stylish parents, Pamela lived a hardscrabble childhood but developed a deep love for nature, populating her world with misfits, apparitional friends, and injured animals. Eventually overcoming her natural shyness, Pamela let her restless imagination propel her into a life few can dream of, in Hollywood and the Playboy Mansion. As her star rose, she found herself becoming a fixture of tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on destroying a person's image and self-esteem.
Pamela forged ahead with grace, finding sanctuary in her love of art and literature, and emerged a devoted mother and activist. Now, having returned to the island of her childhood, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, Pamela is telling her story, a story of an irrepressible free spirit coming home and discovering herself anew at every turn. With vivid prose interspersed with bursts of original poetry, Love, Pamela is a pensive, layered, and unforgettable memoir.
Cosmoknights 1
Tahle potrhlá banda holek z vesmíru se chystá porazit patriarchát v jeho vlastní hře!
Pan pracuje v tátově karosárně, kde opravuje stará auta. Občas se vyplíží z domu za svojí kamarádkou Tarou, se kterou pozorují nákladní lodě na obloze a sní o budoucnosti. Nezáleží na tom, že je Tara princezna. Nebo na tom alespoň nezáleží do chvíle, než se přiblíží konání turnaje, jehož vítěz získá Tařinu ruku.
Pan musí jednat rychle! Pomůže Taře zmizet na jinou planetu, přestože se kvůli tomu sama dostane do průšvihu. A tím by to taky mohlo skončit, nebýt charismatického páru gladiátorek, které se po letech objeví u ní doma s prosbou o pomoc. Pan zjišťuje, že svět ani zdaleka není tak malý, jak si myslela, a že se před ní dost možná otevírá příležitost něco změnit. Znovu tedy stojí před složitou volbou, jestli zůstat a dál se vrtat v autech, nebo se vydat na cestu za dobrodružstvím. A to i za cenu toho, že už se třeba nebude moct nikdy vrátit!

Lélegzet
Egy elveszett tudás újrafelfedezése New York Times Bestseller Washington Post: Az év egyik fontos tényirodalmi címe (2020) Amazon: Az év legjobb tudományos könyve (2020) Goodreads-díj: Az év legjobb tudományos & tech könyve – jelölés (2020) NPR: Az év egyik legjobb könyve (2020) Mindegy, mit eszel, nem érdekes, mennyit edzel, milyen karcsú vagy, milyen fiatal vagy, milyen bölcs vagy - ez mind nem számít, ha nem lélegzel megfelelően. Semmi nem fontosabb az egészséghez, mint a légzés: beszívni a levegőt, kifújni - ezt minden nap megtesszük huszonötezerszer. Fajunk mégis elvesztette a helyes légzés képességét, és ennek súlyosak a következményei. James Nestor újságíró beutazta a világot, hogy rájöjjön, mi romlott el, és hogyan lehetne helyrehozni. A válasz nem tüdőgyógyászati laborokban található, ahogy erre számítanánk, hanem ősi temetkezési helyeket feltáró ásatásokon, titkos szovjet létesítményekben, New Jersey-i kórusok próbáin és Sao Paulo szmogos utcáin. Nestor felkutatja azokat, akik tisztában vannak az ősi légzéstechnikák, mint például a pránájáma, a szudarsan krija és a tummo mögött rejlő tudással, és együtt vizsgálódik azokkal a tüdőspecialistákkal, akik tudományos próbának teszik ki a légzésről alkotott fennálló elképzeléseinket. A modern tudományos kutatások azt mutatják, hogy már a légzéstechnikánk apró módosításai is ugrásszerű javulást eredményeznek a sportteljesítményben; megfiatalodnak tőle a belső szervek; mérséklődik a horkolás, az asztma és az autoimmun betegségek; még a gerincferdülés mértéke is csökken. A légzésnek elvileg nem lehetne ilyen hatása, de mégis van. A Lélegzet című könyv ugyanúgy támaszkodik több ezer év orvosi szövegeire, mint a pulmonológia, a pszichológia, a biokémia és a fiziológia területén szerzett legfrissebb kutatási eredményekre, így rekonstruálja a tudást, amely egy időben közkeletű volt, mostanra viszont forradalmian újnak és ismeretlennek hat. A légzés a legalapvetőbb biológiai működésünk. Ha ezt elolvasod, soha többé nem fogsz ugyanúgy lélegezni. „Aki szokott levegőt venni, annak kell ez a könyv.” - Wallace J. Nichols, PhD., a Blue mind szerzője „Ez a szórakoztató, kísértetiesen jól időzített könyv elmondja, mi áll az elégtelen légzés hátterében tudományos szempontból, hogyan alakíthatjuk át tüdőnket és egyben életünket. Részletgazdag, olvasmányos munka, amelyben egyformán helyet kapnak a személyes, a történeti és a tudományos vonatkozások.” - Boston Globe „James Nestor könyve a legjobb időben érkezett, hogy áttekintse, mi az, amit kutatások és tapasztalat útján tudhatunk a légzésről - értve itt saját fájdalmas tapasztalatait is, sok esetben. Nestor kísérletezik, légzőgyakorlatokat végez, olyan alapdolgokra kérdez rá, amelyeket az ember evidensnek tart. E könyvet olvasva elkezdtem jobban megbecsülni a légzőszerveimet, és lefutottam életem legjobb eredményét. (Ha orron át vesszük a levegőt, javul az állóképességünk!)” - NPR „Ritkán mondok ilyet, de most valóban ez a helyzet: ez a könyv megváltoztatta az életemet. A Lélegzet részben tudományos gondolatmenet, részben történeti áttekintés, telis-tele zseniális gondolatokkal, ráadásul baromi szórakoztató olvasmány. Fogalmam sem volt, hogy a légzés így megsínylette az evolúciót. Ennek a könyvnek köszönhetem, hogy rájöttem, miért alszom rosszul, és miért érzem úgy, hogy nem jókor veszek levegőt. Néhány egyszerű húzással megjavítottam a lélegzetvételemet, és ezzel én is megjavultam! Páratlan könyv!” - Caroline Paul, a Gutsy Girl című bestseller szerzője „Érdekfeszítő tudományos, kulturális, spirituális és evolúciótörténeti munka arról, hogy hogyan lélegzik az ember - és hogy már hosszú idők óta nem úgy csináljuk, ahogy kellene. Alig pár napja kezdtem el a módszert, de máris nyugodtabbnak és egészségesebbnek érzem magam. Néhány egyszerű módosítást végeztem a légzéstechnikámon. A lélegzetvétel nagyszerű, titokzatos, gyógyító ajándék, akárcsak ez a könyv.” - Elizabeth Gilbert, az Ízek, imák, szerelmek szerzője

The Daughters of Izdihar
Trapped in an arranged marriage to a man she does not love, Nehal dreams of attending the Weaving Academy. There, she can take control of her powers, bending any water to her will, and pursue a glorious future on the battlefield with the first all-female military regiment. Her husband, indifferent and secretive, is in love with another woman, a poor bookseller named Giorgina.

Enticed by the group's enigmatic leader Malak Mamdouh, the two women are drawn into a web of politics, violence and threats of war as they find themselves fighting to earn - and keep - a lasting freedom.
A powerful feminist fantasy set in an Egyptian-inspired world, with breathtaking elemental magic and sapphic romance, perfect for fans of The Jasmine Throne and The Once and Future Witches.
Epic Animal Journeys
All the branches of the animal kingdom - birds, fish, crustaceans, reptiles, mammals, insects, and even slime moulds undertake great journeys across water land or air. This is a glorious celebration of the mysteries and marvels of migration.
Migration is one of the great mysteries of the natural world. With no compass or GPS devices, birds fly thousands of miles from Europe to their African feeding grounds, salmon cross oceans so that they may return to the rivers in which they were born and monarch butterflies spend their entire adult lives traveling from the grasslands of the Midwest to the forests of Mexico.
This book takes a close look at how and why different animals migrate. The science of migration is broken down into clearly understood texts, and then brought to life in case studies of individual species.
Simple text packed with fascinating facts and details are accompanied by eye-catching illustrations that illuminate the fragility and wonders of our extraordinary planet and the species that inhabit it.
The Good Virus
Not all viruses are out to get us - in fact, the viruses that do us harm are vastly outnumbered by viruses that can actually save lives.
At every moment, within your body and all around you, trillions of microscopic combatants are fighting an invisible war. Countless times per second, 'good' viruses known as phages are infecting and destroying bacteria. These phages are the most abundant life form on the planet and have an incredible power to heal rather than harm. So why have most of us never even heard of them?
The Good Virus reveals how personalities, power and politics have repeatedly crashed together to hinder our understanding of these weird and wonderful life forms. We explore why Stalin's Soviet Union embraced using phages to fight disease but the rest of the world shunned the idea. We find out why scientists only recently realised phages are central to all ecosystems on Earth. And we meet the often eccentric phage heroes who have shaped the strange history of this field and are unlocking its exciting future.
Faced with the threat of antibiotic-resistance, we need phages now more than ever. The Good Virus celebrates what phages could do for us and our planet if they are at last given the attention they deserve.

Into the Void
The much-anticipated first book from Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler.
With over 70 million records sold, heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath are one of the most influential bands of all time. From the very beginning, Geezer Butler was at the heart of their success. He named the group, provided the bass behind their distinctive sound and wrote the lyrics that resonated so powerfully with fans around the world.
At long last, Geezer is ready to tell his side of the Sabbath story, from early days as a scrappy blues quartet through to the many lineup changes, the record-breaking tours and the international hell-raising with Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward.
Featuring Geezer’s candid reflections on his working-class childhood in Luftwaffe-battered Birmingham, his almost-life as an accountant and his fascination with horror, religion and the occult, Into the Void reveals the softer side of the heavy metal legend, while holding nothing back.
Like Geezer’s bass lines and the story of Black Sabbath themselves, Into the Void is original, dramatic and one hell of a ride.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Tim Middleton, Head of English Studies, University of Ripon and York.
In seeking to discover his inner self, the brilliant Dr Jekyll discovers a monster. First published to critical acclaim in 1886, this mesmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of man's nature, and it is the book which established Stevenson's reputation as a writer.
Also included in this volume is Stevenson's 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables.
The Merry Men is a gripping Highland tale of shipwrecks and madness; Markheim, the sinister study of the mind of a murderer; Thrawn Janet, a spine-chilling tale of demonic possession; Olalla, a study of degeneration and incipient vampirism in the Spanish mountains; Will O' the Mill, a thought-provoking fable about a mountain inn-keeper; and The Treasure of Franchard, a study of French bourgeois life.
