China Adorned
Aesthetic influences drawn from China have long resonated throughout Western art, design and thought. China Adorned challenges the monolithic idea of 'Chinese' culture and fashion, turning the lens on the rich clothing traditions of ethnic minority groups.
Drawing on three decades of research by cultural anthropologist Professor Deng Qiyao, the book documents and demystifies the customs, rituals and mythology of more than 30 minorities through their clothing and accessories. Deng's never-before-published archival photos sit alongside stunning contemporary imagery by photographer Cat Vinton that showcases fabrics, jewellery and the surrounding landscapes, helping readers to better understand the deep connections between people, place, ritual and adornment. Contributor essays delve further into the textiles and methods, the role of the artisan, the extraordinary resilience of material culture and the importance of preserving these traditions for generations to come.

Mary Cassatt
The definitive introduction to the artist Mary Cassatt, placing her work in the wider context of 19th-century feminism and art theory.
A close ally of Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot and Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt was the only American painter at the heart of the Impressionist group in Paris. Highly respected on both sides of the Atlantic, Cassatt was a forthright advocate for women's intellectual, creative and political emancipation. She brought her discerning gaze and compositional inventiveness across many media to the subtle social interactions of women in public and private spaces, such as at the theatre, and in moments of intimacy with children, where she was one of the most attentive and unsentimental analysts of the infant body and the child's emerging personality.
Tracing key moments in Cassatt's long career, art historian Griselda Pollock highlights Cassatt's extensive artistic training across Europe, analysing her profound study of Old Masters while revealing her intelligent understanding of both Manet and Courbet. Pollock also provides close readings of Cassatt's paintings and her singular vision of women in modernity. Now revised with a new preface, updates to the bibliography and colour illustrations throughout, this book offers a rich perspective on the core concerns of a major Impressionist artist through the frames of class, gender, space and difference.

The Feminist Killjoy Handbook
We have to keep saying it because they keep doing it.
Do colleagues roll their eyes in a meeting when you use words like sexism or racism? Do you refuse to laugh at jokes that aren't funny? Have you been called divisive for pointing out a division? Then you are a feminist killjoy, and this handbook is for you.
The term killjoy has been used to dismiss feminism by claiming that it causes misery. But by naming ourselves feminist killjoys, we recover a feminist history, turning it into a source of strength as well as an inspiration.
Drawing on her own stories and those of others, especially Black and brown feminists and queer thinkers, Sara Ahmed combines depth of thought with honesty and intimacy. The Feminist Killjoy Handbook unpicks the lies our culture tells us and provides a form of solidarity and companionship that can be returned to over a lifetime.
Keys to Kindness, The How to be Kinder to Yourself, Others and the World
A deep-dive into kindness, the science behind it and how we can better build it into our lives, from the author of The Art of Rest
Kindness can be your super-power. It feels good to be kind to others. And it feels good to receive kindness. Making the world better, in however small a way, feels good and does good. Did you know kinder bosses are more successful bosses? That paying it forward can help build a purpose-driven life? Being kind strengthens relationships. Acts of kindness, whether given or received, improve our mental and physical health.
Drawing on the latest research from psychology and neuroscience, and her work in collaboration with the University of Sussex and the BBC, Claudia Hammond sets out a prescription for a kinder life that you can adapt to your own circumstances, and explains how to use this guidance for ourselves, others and the world.
It's time for a kindness revolution.
Seine unschuldige Prinzessin
Als Danielle auf Everis eintrifft, kann sie es kaum erwarten ihren neuen Partner kennenzulernen.

Die Träume werden immer dunkler. Qualvoller.

Er ist der letzte Prinz seiner Linie, der letzte überlebende Erbe und jemand möchte verhindern, dass er seinen Platz im Regierungsrat einnimmt.

Já, Elton John
Elton John je dlouhodobě nejúspěšnější zpěvák a skladatel všech dob. (Dosavadních) sedm dekád jeho života oplývá pozitivními i negativními zvraty.
A nyní se dle vlastních slov rozhodl o svůj příběh podělit do posledního komického i srdceryvného momentu. Odhaluje pravdu ohledně výchovy a vyrůstání na londýnském předměstí Pinner a popisuje komplikovaný vztah s rodiči. Chlapec pokřtěný jako Reginald Dwight byl stydlivý a jen nesměle snil o slávě popové hvězdy. Ve věku třiadvaceti let odehrál svůj první koncert v Americe, kde se před ohromené fanoušky postavil ve svých žlutých montérkách, hvězdami pokrytém tričku a okřídlených botách. Přišel Elton John a svět hudby už nikdy neměl být jako dřív.
Já je dramatickým příběhem od původních neúspěchů písní skládaných společně s hudebním partnerem Berniem Taupinem až po nekontrolovaný vzestup na pozici superstar dominující všem žebříčkům; od přátelství s Johnem Lennonem, Freddiem Mercurym a Georgem Michaelem po tancování na diskotéce s Queen; od pokusů o sebevraždu až po tajnou drogovou závislost, která Eltona ve svém objetí svírala více než desetiletí.
Elton John rovněž popisuje silný příběh o odvykání si a založení jeho nadace AIDS Foundation. Líčí, jak v Davidu Furnishovi nalezl pravou lásku, dovolenou s Versacem a vystoupení na pohřbu princezny Diany. A akcentuje okamžik, kdy se rozhodl stát otcem a jeho život se opět od základu změnil. Kniha Já je veselá, zábavná a někdy hluboce jímavá a vezme vás na intimní putování po boku živé legendy.
Lacná kniha Mi Pais Inventado (-70%)
La deslumbrante prosa de Isabel Allende esta vez se podrá al servicio de sus recuerdos íntimos y de la visión de su Chile natal. Según confiesa la propia autora, su voluntad era armar la idea que tenía de su país como si se tratara de un gran rompecabezas formado por hombres, mujeres y paisajes. Así, rememorará la casa de la infancia, poblada de mascotas semisalvajes y de fantasmas, de vida en permanente estado de ebullición, donde destaca sobre todas la figura de su abuelo. Más tarde vendrá el abandono del país y la aparición de la nostalgia, tema central de la obra. En su conjunto se trata de un libro ameno, lleno de amor y de humor que reconstruye, desde la evocación, la vida, la felicidad aorada y los espacios más queridos de esta excelente autora chilena.

This is not an advice book. Samantha Irby doesn't know anything.
After fleeing Chicago to quarantine at home in Michigan, Irby finds herself bleaching groceries and wondering if her upper lip hairs are visible on Zoom. Her career reaches new heights: she gets to work with the iconic ladies of Sex and the City - her dream! - but behind the new-found glam, Irby is just trying to keep her life together. Our friend in print is back, on point, and ready to take us with her, from adopting Abe (her scrawny, watery-eyed firstborn dog) to her favourite, extremely specific porn searches (including two old nuns).
Deep Purple - Machine Head: 50th Anniversary (Deluxe) LP+3CD+BD
Deep Purple je anglická rocková skupina založená v Londýne v roku 1967. Sú považovaní za priekopníkov heavy metalu a moderného hard rocku, ale ich hudobný prístup sa rokmi zmenil. Pôvodne vznikla ako psychedelická rocková a progresívna rocková kapela, ale albumom Deep Purple in Rock z roku 1970 prešli na tvrdší zvuk. Deep Purple, spolu s Led Zeppelin a Black Sabbath, boli označovaní ako „nesvätá trojica britského hard rocku a heavy metalu na začiatku až polovici sedemdesiatych rokov“. Na koncerte v londýnskom Rainbow Theatre v roku 1972 boli zapísaní do Guinessovej knihy rekordov v roku 1975 ako „najhlasnejšia skupina sveta“ a predali viac ako 100 miliónov albumov po celom svete.
Machine Head je šiesty štúdiový album nahraný v decembri 1971 v Montreux vo Švajčiarsku a vydaný 25. marca 1972 u Purple Records. Je to tretí album skupiny, ktorý obsahuje zostavu Mark II v zložení Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord a Ian Paice. Špeciálna edícia k päťdesiatemu výročiu v deluxe boxe.

Fix the System, Not the Women
Too often, we blame women. For walking home alone at night. For not demanding a seat at the table. For not overcoming the odds that are stacked against them.
This distracts us from the real problem: the failings and biases of a society that was not built for women. In this explosive book, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates exposes the systemic prejudice at the heart of five of our key institutions.
Education
Politics
Media
Policing
Criminal justice
Combining stories with shocking evidence, Fix the System, Not the Women is a blazing examination of sexual injustice and a rallying cry for reform.

An indelible exploration of the Cultural Revolution and how it shapes China today, Red Memory uncovers forty years of silence through the rarely heard stories of individuals who lived through Mao's decade of madness.
A 13-year-old Red Guard revels in the great adventure, and struggles with her doubts. A silenced composer, facing death, determines to capture the turmoil. An idealistic student becomes the 'corpse master' . . .
More than fifty years on, the Cultural Revolution's scar runs through the heart of Chinese society, and through the souls of its citizens. Stationed in Beijing for the Guardian, Tania Branigan came to realise that this brutal and turbulent decade continues to propel and shape China to this day. Yet official suppression and personal trauma have conspired in national amnesia: it exists, for the most part, as an absence.
Red Memory explores the stories of those driven to confront the era, who fear or yearn for its return. What happens to a society when you can no longer trust those closest to you? What happens to the present when the past is buried, exploited or redrawn? And how do you live with yourself when the worst is over?
The World According to Bertie (44 Scotland Street 4)
Poor put-upon Bertie is still struggling to escape his overbearing mother?s influence, his yoga lessons and his pink bedroom while wondering why new baby brother Ulysses looks uncomfortably like his psychotherapist. The insufferably handsome Bruce has returned from London to land, on his feet and rent-free, in the arms of heiress Julia Donald. But all is not well among the residents of 44 Scotland Street: Angus?s dog and constant companion Cyril is under threat of execution, victim of a miscarriage of justice, while pretty, indecisive Pat and hopeless romantic Matthew are on the verge of making the most terrible mistake of their lives ...Big Lou finds a new man, Matthew and Pat edge their relationship towards something more permanent - although this development is not without complications, when a glimpse of someone who just might be her handsome, caddish ex-flatmate Bruce sets Pat's pulse racing - and Domenica's friendship with Antonia is tested to the limit when an assortment of her belongings mysteriously appear in Antonia's new flat.

Icebound
'An epic tale of exploration, daring and tragedy told by a fine historian - and a wonderful writer' Peter Frankopan, author of the bestselling The Silk Roads.
'The name of William Barents isn't that familiar to us these days...but this enthralling, elemental and literally spine-chilling epic of courage and endurance should change all that' Roger Alton, Daily Mail
A dramatic and compelling account of survival against the odds from the golden Age of Exploration.
Since its beginning, the human story has been one of exploration and survival - often against long odds. The longest odds of all might have been faced by Dutch explorer William Barents and his crew of fifteen, who on Barents' third journey into the Far Arctic in the year 1597 lost their ship to a crush of icebergs and, with few weapons and dwindling supplies, spent nine months fighting off ravenous polar bears, gnawing cold and seemingly endless winter.
This is their story.
In Icebound, Andrea Pitzer combines a movie-worthy tale of survival with a sweeping history of the period - a time of hope, adventure and seemingly unlimited scientific and geographic frontiers. At the story's centre is William Barents, one of the sixteenth century's greatest navigators, whose larger-than-life ambitions and obsessive quest to find a path through the deepest, most remote regions of the Arctic ended in both catastrophe and glory - glory because the desperation that his men endured had an epic quality that would echo through the centuries as both warning and spur to polar explorers.
In a narrative that is filled with fascinating tutorials - on such topics as survival at twenty degrees below, the degeneration of the human body when it lacks Vitamin C, the history of mutiny, the practice of keel hauling, the art of celestial navigation and the intricacies of repairing masts and building shelters - the lesson that stands above all others is the feats humans are capable of when asked to double then triple then quadruple their physical capacities.
