The Children of Ash and Elm
'As brilliant a history of the Vikings as one could possibly hope to read' Tom Holland
The 'Viking Age' is traditionally held to begin in June 793 when Scandinavian raiders attacked the monastery of Lindisfarne in Northumbria, and to end in September 1066, when King Harald Hardrada of Norway died leading the charge against the English line at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. This book, the most wide-ranging and comprehensive assessment of the current state of our knowledge, takes a refreshingly different view. It shows that the Viking expansion began generations before the Lindisfarne raid, and traces Scandinavian history back centuries further to see how these people came to be who they were.
The narrative ranges across the whole of the Viking diaspora, from Vinland on the eastern American seaboard to Constantinople and Uzbekistan, with contacts as far away as China. Based on the latest archaeology, it explores the complex origins of the Viking phenomenon and traces the seismic shifts in Scandinavian society that resulted from an economy geared to maritime war. Some of its most striking discoveries include the central role of slavery in Viking life and trade, and the previously unsuspected pirate communities and family migrations that were part of the Viking 'armies' - not least in England.
Especially, Neil Price takes us inside the Norse mind and spirit-world, and across their borders of identity and gender, to reveal startlingly different Vikings to the barbarian marauders of stereotype. He cuts through centuries of received wisdom to try to see the Vikings as they saw themselves - descendants of the first human couple, the Children of Ash and Elm. Healso reminds us of the simultaneous familiarity and strangeness of the past, of how much we cannot know, alongside the discoveries that change the landscape of our understanding. This is an eye-opening and surprisingly moving book.
Film Posters of the Russian Avant-Garde
Back in the USSR: 250 film posters capture the cultural energy of the pre-Stalin era
At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular cultural Zeitgeist. This book brings together 250 posters from the pre-Stalin Soviet Union of the 1920s and 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period, before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.
Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.
Meet Me in Milano
After cheating on her inattentive boyfriend in NYC, Melinda takes off for Milan, Italy, to find a design job in an architectural studio. But Jonathan is such a good guy that he follows her there, just to keep an eye on her.
Mel yearns for the romance of the expat life, and in this swirling tale of relationships backdropped by the the hustle of Milan and the gorgeous Italian landscape beyond, she finds it. The scene shifts from Milan to Lake Como, Rome, and Naples, where the characters gain ever-changing perspectives on what they believe about themselves and one another. If you’re into Italy, “Meet Me in Milano” is the real deal. There’s plenty of espresso, food, wine, not to mention an amusing portrayal of Italian men, of course!
“There are a thousand reasons to love this book. It's sweet, delicate, and unfolds at the pace of relationships that actually mean something.” – an Amazon reviewer

The Holy Grail of Investing
Tony Robbins, who has coached more than fifty million people from 100 countries, is the world's #1 life and business strategist. In this new book, he teams up with Christopher Zook, a renowned financial investor who draws from thirty years of experience to round out the trilogy of #1 New York Times bestselling financial books. Together they reveal how, for decades, trillions of dollars of smart money- - think of large institutions, sovereign wealth funds, individuals with ultra-high-net worth - have been making outsized returns using alternative investments in private equity, private credit, private real estate, energy and venture capital.
Until recently, the vast majority of investors - those of us without insider access or eye-popping checkbooks - have been locked out of these exciting, high-yield opportunities. But there is a change underway. Alternative investments are coming to the masses, and investors need to know how to navigate their options, assess the merits of these opportunities, and determine how to best take advantage of this massive trend.
In The Holy Grain of Investing, you'll discover:
Where opportunities will arise as we transition from the 'free money' era of zero interest rates to a new more realistic environment.
How to take advantage of the trillions flowing into private investments by owning a piece of the firms that manage the assets.
How to take advantage of private credit as an alternative (or compliment) to bonds.
How and why professional sports teams have become an asset class of their own.
How the renewable energy revolution will create new winners and losers.
How investments in private real estate can work as an inflationary hedge.
Interviews, advice, and insights from some of the world's most formidable titans of industry, such as Howard Marks of OakTree Capital, Vinod Khosla of Khosla Capital, Barry Sternlicht of Starwood, Robert Smith of Vista, and Peter Theil of Founders Fund, among others.
The market is changing, and the conventional wisdom no longer applies. Are you ready to add some fuel to your financial fire? No matter your wealth, your experience, your job, or your age, The Holy Grail of Investing will teach you everything you need to know to unleash the financial power of alternative investments.
Metanoia
Az életünket gyökeresen megváltoztató eseményeket érzelmek széles skálája kíséri. Ezek az időszakok enyhén szólva is nehezek és kellemetlenek lehetnek. Végső soron mégis így működik az élet; így szerzünk tudást és tapasztalatot a létért folytatott küzdelemben. A metanoia ezen folyamat görög elnevezése. A hellenisztikus görög nyelvben, a lehetőségek istenét Kairoszt, mindig szorosan követi Metanoia. Első hallásra Metanoia egy komor bűntudattól vergődő alaknak, a megbánás megtestesítőjének tűnhet. Pedig a metanoia, mint fogalom sokkal többet jelent a puszta önsajnálatnál. Kairosz és Metanoia kapcsolata retorikai fordulatként, az önfejlesztés és a tanulás módszereként is értelmezhető; amely a tapasztalás útján elősegíti a rugalmasabb alkalmazkodást az egyén meggyőződésében bekövetkező változásokhoz. Jelen könyv az ilyen változások költői adaptációja.Life-altering events are accompanied by a wide range of unpleasant emotions. To put it mildly, these periods may be difficult and unpleasant. Yet in the end, this is how life functions and how we gain knowledge and experience in the struggle for existence. Metanoia is the Greek name for this procedure. As Kairos, the god of opportunity, passes by in Hellenistic Greek, Metanoia is left in his wake. At first look, Metanoia seems to be the epitome of regret—a somber figure writhing in guilt. Yet, metanoia is a notion that encompasses more than just regret. The relationship between Kairos and Metanoia may manifest as a method of self-improvement, a teaching aid, and a rhetorical strategy. Kairos and Metanoia foster both significant and subtle changes in belief that might increase one's knowledge and foster more sympathetic reactions. This book is a poetic adaptation of such changes.

Ježiš, môj uzdravovateľ
Si krestan a so svojou vierou to myslíš vážne. Usiluješ sa dávalt Boha na prvé miesto, modlíš sa, a predsa prichádza v tvojom živote jeden neúspech za druhým. Cítiš sa odmietaný, nespokojný, plný strachu, hnevu, bezmocnosti, ale aj výčitiek svedomia.
Je veľa vecí, ktorým nerozumieme. Jedno je však isté: všetci potrebujeme uzdravenie, a to uzdravenie duchovné, telesné lebo vnútorné. Možno potrebujeme uzdravit oblasti, ktoré sú zasiahnuté okultizmom alebo útokom od zlého ducha".
Možno ste si nikdy neuvedomili, že určité vaše postoje a prejavy správania sú dôsledkom zranení z minulosti. Sv. Pavol hovorí, že v každom z nás je starý človek. Ale kto je ten starý človek, ktorý žije v nás? To je to naše staré ,ja` plné strachu a hnevu, ktoré je strnulé, ktoré sa bráni a zúfa, podlieha depresiám a znechuteniam. Pán chce, aby v nás starý človek zomrel a začal v nás žič nový človek životom bohatým a plným."
Páter Elias Velia v tejto knihe poukazuje na mnohé príčiny nášho utrpenia a zároveň jednoducho a zrozumiteľne privádza k osobnému stretnutiu s Ježišom, jediným Uzdravovateľom.
Lebo Boh chce naše uzdravenie.

The Old Man and The Sea
The old man, whose name is Santiago, is a fisherman who lives alone near Havana. Incredibly poor, he sleeps in a shack and sets out each day on a small skiff to try to catch himself some fish to eat or sell. For awhile, the boy, named Manolin, accompanied the old man each day, to learn from him and assist him. Unfortunately, the old man went weeks without catching anything, so the boy's parents made him stop accompanying the old man. When the story begins, the boy is probably around twelve years old, and the old man has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish. The boy comes to his shack to talk to the old man about baseball, as they both greatly admire Joe DiMaggio, and supplies the old man might need. The boy likes to bring the old man whatever he can, such as food, bait, and clothing. He also helps the old man carry his heavy mast and sail out to his boat each morning. They drink a cup of coffee together before the old man heads out on his skiff alone.

Tarja - Rocking Heels: Live At Metal Church CD
Tarja Soile Susanna Turunenová-Cabuliová (* 17. august 1977), známejšia ako Tarja Turunen alebo skrátene Tarja je fínska speváčka, skladateľka, textárka a producentka. Má sopránový hlas a jej hlasový rozsah je tri oktávy.Tarja študovala spev na Sibelius Academy a na Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe. Je celkom dobre známa ako profesionálna speváčka klasickej hudby, no najväčšiu popularitu získala ako speváčka fínskej symphonic metalovej kapely Nightwish, ktorú v roku 1996 založili Tuomas Holopainen a Emppu Vuorinen. Kapela si kombináciou tvrdých a rýchlych gitarových riffov s Tarjinim dramatickým, operným hlasom vyslúžila úspech ako u hudobných kritikov, tak aj u laickej verejnosti. Ich symhonic metalový hudobný štýl, prezývaný aj "operný metal" inšpiroval množstvo ostatných metalových kapiel a interpretov. „Rocking Heels: Live at Metal Church“ je dokumentom veľmi špeciálneho koncertu v idylickom prostredí kostola Wacken. Pred 300 vybranými fanúšikmi otvorilo toto jediné podujatie Wacken Open Air Festival v roku 2016. Tarja predstavuje jedinečné aranžmány rockových a heavymetalových klasík od svojich obľúbených umelcov vrátane „Numb“ od Linkin Park, „The Unforgiven“ od Metallicy. piesne od Joea Satrianiho a Slipknot, ako aj pieseň Nightwish a originály Tarje.Prvý singel, cover verzie „Numb“ od Linkin Park, dokonale odráža intímne prostredie tohto koncertu. Tarjina operná zdatnosť a nádherné vokály dodávajú už tak silnému majstrovskému dielu ďalšiu vrstvu éterickej mágie. Dojímavá hudobná cesta, ktorá zachytáva ducha života, lásky, túžby a surovej zraniteľnosti. Spolu so vznešeným sprievodom klavíra, violončela a huslí Tarjina vízia „Numb“ rezonuje v hĺbke duše poslucháča.

Lacná kniha Genesis
Kosmologická mytologie Ludmily Vaňkové originálním způsobem evokuje biblické mýty a zároveň odpovídá na nejzáhadnější otázky bytí. Konfrontace lidské existence a nekonečna, lásky a povinnosti, sebeobětování i touhy po životě se opakuje v nekonečném prostoru a čase jako v těch nejdávnějších mýtech, jejichž smysl autorka ve své fantazii domyslela a rozluštila. Teď se však lidstvo ocitlo v nebezpečné blízkosti zanikajícího Slunce na odumírající Zemi uprostřed smršťujícího se vesmíru. Člověk už nehledá jen své osobní štěstí, ale i pravdu o smyslu svého poslání, aby nalezl záchranu z osudové smyčky. Cílevědomí hledači a charizmatičtí spasitelé ovládají hluboké emoce i metafyzickou sílu ducha. To jim umožňuje posunout existenci života na jinou Zemi a dokonce zasáhnout i za zdánlivé hranice nekonečného vesmíru.
