Chasing Light
Captured in vivid colour and magnificent quality, the unique moments that photographer Stefan Forster discovers in out-of-the-way places in nature take place on adventurous backcountry trips far from civilisation, with Forster lugging up to 80 pounds in camera gear and camping equipment. With enormous enthusiasm and prepared for anything, he often hikes through remote areas for weeks at a time on his search for the extraordinary. He has taken long solo kayak expeditions along Greenland's west coast, hopped from island to island in Micronesia, and slogged through the swamps of Louisiana and Texas to find the area's most beautiful cypress trees, dodging alligators all the while.
The results are unique and fascinating photos. This book presents this young photographer's most beautiful experiences to date, including everything from rare rainstorms in the world's driest desert and the Northern Lights shimmering through icebergs to spectacular shots of the Rocky Mountains. Forster was one of the first photographers to use state-of-the-art quadcopter drones, giving his pictures fresh, new perspectives.
Stefan Forster published some of these aerial shots for the first time in Above the World - Earth Through a Drone's Eye, released by teNeues in September 2016.

Architecture
A groundbreaking history of architecture told through the relationship between buildings and energy
The story of architecture is the story of humanity. The buildings we live in, from the humblest pre-historic huts to today's skyscrapers, reveal our priorities and ambitions, our family structures and power structures. And to an extent that hasn't been explored until now, architecture has been shaped in every era by our access to energy, from fire to farming to fossil fuels.
In this ground-breaking history of world architecture, Barnabas Calder takes us on a dazzling tour of some of the most astonishing buildings of the past fifteen thousand years, from Uruk, via Ancient Rome and Victorian Liverpool, to China's booming megacities. He reveals how every building - from the Parthenon to the Great Mosque of Damascus to a typical Georgian house - was influenced by the energy available to its architects, and why this matters.
Today architecture consumes so much energy that 40% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions come from the construction and running of buildings. If we are to avoid catastrophic climate change then now, more than ever, we need beautiful but also intelligent buildings, and to retrofit - not demolish - those that remain. Both a celebration of human ingenuity and a passionate call for greater sustainability, this is a history of architecture for our times.

Stromy stále mluví
Kniha mluvících stromů není ani o přírodě, ani o kreslení, přestože z obojího čerpá. Tato kniha nás učí komunikovat. Učí nás, jak se dívat na věc z jiných úhlů, a učí nás lépe rozumět sobě samému a následně i ostatním. Učí nás skládat střípky života do jednoho celku.
Umíme myslet, ale bojíme se cítit, říká autorka v knize. Vědět neznamená totéž co vidět a vidět není totéž co prožít. Proto kreslím.
Obraz řekne víc. Ukazuje jiný úhel pohledu a má sílu ti otevřít oči. Každý strom vypadá jinak ze severu a jinak z jihu, jinak ve dne a jinak v noci, jinak v létě a jinak v zimě a stejné je to i s námi. Stromy nás učí vnímat celek. Jejich moudrosti však porozumí jen ten, kdo se ztiší.
Tyto stromy rostou pro ty z vás, kteří už chcete žít v harmonii se sebou i se světem. Pro ty z vás, kteří chcete tvořit funkční celek.
Kde funguje komunikace, není prostor pro manipulaci.
Kde funguje komunikace, není prostor pro nemoc.
Kde funguje komunikace, tam bydlí láska.
A kde nebydlí láska, tam bydlí nemoc.

Bluebeard's Egg and Other Stories
Discover this sharp, funny short story collection from the bestselling author of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments
A man finds himself surrounded by women who are becoming paler, more silent and literally smaller; a woman's intimate life is strangely dominated by the fear of nuclear warfare; a melancholy teenage love is swept away by a hurricane, while a tired, middle-aged affection is rekindled by the spectacle of rare Jamaican birds...
In these exceptional short stories, by turns funny and searingly honest, Margaret Atwood captures brilliantly the complex forces that govern our relationships, and the powerful emotions that guide them.
Revisionist Future
Suffering from writer's block, Michael Schatten books himself into a remote beachside cabin to find inspiration. Exploring the nearby town, he stumbles upon an antique shop, purchases a quaint typewriter, and begins to type a short story. On a walk on the beach the next day, he stumbles upon a dilapidated house just like the one he described in his story. And at lunch in a diner he overhears other patrons talk, using the very lines he composed the night before. What is going on? Has he entered the twilight zone? Gone mad? Or purchased a magic typewriter?
Soon he realizes that his typewriter is a secret Cold War weapon and connects to a powerful computer capable of converting fiction to reality. Trouble is, there are others. Schatten must pit his writing skills against those of an acclaimed Russian author bent on subjugating the world, and he has only seven days to foil the plot.

10 Hours to Go
Welcome to the highway of your nightmares in this fiery claustrophobic thriller for fans of Natalie D. Richards and Natasha Preston
Lily wants to get home. Her friends want to get even.
Lily needs a ride-a fire warning in Oregon has cancelled her train home to California. Her ex-best friend, Natasha, has offered to pick Lily up on her way back from Portland, though they're barely on speaking terms. As it turns out, Natasha's also giving a ride to Elke Azizi, the girl Lily got expelled from their school four years ago. Elke hasn't forgotten, and neither has Natasha.
It's getting tense in the car, and it's not just about the past. There's smoke in the air, and with the wildfires nearby, staying on the road is becoming riskier by the hour. When Natasha and Elke decide to take a detour, Lily hopes it'll get them out of danger. She has no idea, though, what her former friends have planned for her.
But as night comes, the plans change again when it becomes all too clear that leaving the main road was a mistake. Now the three of them are trapped in the woods under a burning sky, with no easy way out. To survive, Lily must depend on Elke and Natasha-but after all that's happened, can she trust them with her life?
Hybš Václav - Posta slávným hlasům 2CD
Václav Hybš je legendou československé populární hudby již od 60. let. Při výběru repertoáru se Václav Hybš vždy orientoval na skladby, které měly a dodnes mají zaručenou oblibu u širokého posluchačského okruhu. Podíl na jejich úspěchu měly i dokonalé, atraktivní a vtipné instrumentace, vyhýbající se novátorským experimentům. „Při výběru toho, co budeme hrát, se řídím citem”, prohlásil už před lety Václav Hybš. „Jsou totiž hranice, které nelze překročit, abych naše posluchače neztratil. Odmítám interpretovat vykonstruované, byť i umělecky zajímavé záležitosti, které bychom ale nakonec hráli jen pro sebe. Podřizuji se požadavkům posluchačů. A že to není zbytečná práce, o tom nás přesvědčuje odezva u publika”.Václav Hybš spolupracoval snad se všemi našimi zpěváky populární hudby. „Vždy mi šlo o to, abych pro ně vymyslel něco, co ještě nikdy před tím nezpívali. Abych je překvapil a pro svůj nápad současně nadchnul”, svěřil se Hybš. Mimořádně se mu dařilo i s pěvci tzv. vážné hudby, kteří dosáhli světového renomé - např. s Evou Urbanovou, Peterem Dvorským a se Štefanem Margitou.Nejnovější výběr představuje Václava Hybše v trochu jiném světle - s melodiemi a písněmi, které patří jen těm největším hlasům populární i vážné hudby. Nemůže tedy chybět Karel Gott, Waldemar Matuška, Helena Vondráčková, Lucie Bílá, Věra Špinarová a další.

Extreme Like a Girl
Whether it's diving off a cliff, cross-country skiing in Antarctica, or free climbing the Picos de Europe in Northern Spain, women in extreme sports are proving every bit as strong, determined and ambitious as their male peers. As in her extremely popular previous books, Surf Like a Girl and Skate Like a Girl, Carolina Amell has compiled spectacular photography that evokes the thrill and beauty of female nontraditional sports in every corner of the world. There's Lynn Jung tackling a parkour course with exquisite grace; Anna von Boetticher skimming the ocean floor hundreds of feet below the surface; Heather Larsen slacklining across a canyon wall; Ashley Fiolek, the world's only deaf professional motocross racer, kicking up dirt on her BMX bike; and other female wakeboarders, Pro-Base jumpers, aerobatic pilots, wingsuit pilots, and, ironically, Ironman champions. Each of the athletes contributes her own motivating words of encouragement that will inspire girls of every age and from every culture to chase their dreams, shatter every glass ceiling, kick down the men's clubhouse door-and have fun doing it all.
Všecky krásy dřeva
Dřevo není jen obyčejný materiál ke stavění nebo topení. Dřevo je krásné. Na pohled, na pohmat, na přivonění. A všech těchto neobyčejností si všímá půvabná, bohatě ilustrovaná kniha o dřevu, stromech i lidech kolem nich, kniha s názvem Všecky krásy dřeva. Mimochodem, jde o dvojitou parafrázi - původní slova jsou z árie Kecala v Prodané nevěstě a použil je také básník Jaroslav Seifert jako název své jediné prozaické knihy.
První kapitola se zabývá životem stromu, jeho bojem s okolím i kouzly, která v živém dřevě vytváří příroda. Druhá ukazuje, jak strom žije dál v dřevěných věcech a jak tyto věci vznikají. Ve třetí kapitole pak v humorných vyprávěních autora dřevěné věci - staré i dnešní, zdánlivě známé a běžné - ožívají. Autor si v této knize nekladl za cíl předložit čtenářům vědeckou práci či příručku, ale vážně nevážný pohled na "všecky krásy dřeva".

Stash : My Life in Hiding
Named a Best Memoir of 2023 by Elle
In the vein of Somebody's Daughter, this wild, vivid addiction memoir from the host of the podcast The Only One in the Room "will inspire, awe, entertain, educate, and help so many readers" (Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author) with a journey to sobriety and self-love amidst privilege and racism.
After years of hiding her addiction from everyone--stockpiling pills in her Louboutins and elaborately scheduling her withdrawals between PTA meetings, baby showers, and tennis matches--Laura Cathcart Robbins is running out of places to hide.
She has learned the hard way that even her high-profile marriage and Hollywood lifestyle can't protect her from the pain she's keeping bottled up inside. Facing divorce, the possibility of a grueling custody battle, and the insistent voice of internalized racism that nags at her as a Black woman in a startlingly white world, Laura wonders just how much more she can take.
Now, with courageous and candid openness, she reveals how she started the long journey towards sobriety, unexpectedly found new love, and dismantled the wall she had built around herself, brick by brick. With its raw, finely crafted, and engaging prose, Stash is "emotionally riveting...usher[ing] in a new way for us to talk and read about the paradoxes of addiction, race, family, class, and gender." (Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy).

They're still reeling from their discovery that someone rather close to home is leader of Leviathan - the group determined to take the princess down at any cost.
Together they must piece together clues to Leviathan's evil plans. But this is far from simple - especially as an undercover Leviathan agent is in their midst.
Friendships are at stake, families must be reunited and hearts are at risk of breaking . . .
