Hawley Richard - Now Then: The Very Best Of Richard Hawley 2LP
KDO: Richard Hawley je anglický zpěvák, skladatel a kytarista, který se proslavil svou výjimečnou hudební kariérou a charakteristickým zvukem. Narodil se 17. ledna 1967 v Sheffieldu, což se stalo i důležitým bodem v jeho hudební tvorbě. Hawley začal svou kariéru jako kytarista v několika místních skupinách, včetně Longpigs a Pulp, ale později se rozhodl prosadit jako sólový umělec. Jeho hudba spojuje prvky rocku, popu a country s melancholickými texty a výrazným hlasem. Jeho debutové sólové album „Late Night Final“ bylo vydáno v roce 2001 a přineslo mu uznání kritiky. Následovala řada dalších úspěšných alb, jako je „Coles Corner“ (2005), „Lady's Bridge“ (2007) a „Standing at the Sky's Edge“ (2012). Hawleyho hudba je často spojována s atmosférickými a emocionálními písněmi, které odrážejí jeho laskavý pohled na život.

Black Leopard, Red Wolf
In this stunning follow-up to his Man Booker-winning A Brief History of Seven Killings, Marlon James draws on a rich tradition of African mythology, fantasy and history to imagine an ancient world, a lost child, an extraordinary hunter, and a mystery with many answers...
'The child is dead.
There is nothing left to know.'
Tracker is a hunter, known throughout the thirteen kingdoms as one who has a nose - and he always works alone. But he breaks his own rule when, hired to find a lost child, he finds himself part of a group of hunters all searching for the same boy. Each of these companions is stranger and more dangerous than the last, from a giant to a witch to a shape-shifting Leopard, and each has secrets of their own.
As the mismatched gang follow the boy's scent from perfumed citadels to infested rivers to the enchanted darklands and beyond, set upon at every turn by creatures intent on destroying them, Tracker starts to wonder: who really is this mysterious boy? Why do so many people want to stop him being found? And, most important of all, who is telling the truth and who is lying?
Marlon James weaves a tapestry of breathtaking adventure through a world at once ancient and startlingly modern.
And, against this exhilarating backdrop of magic and violence, he explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, the excesses of ambition, and our need to understand them all.
Black Leopard, Red Wolfis the first novel in Marlon James's Dark Star Trilogy.

Extraterrestrial
Špičkový astronom z Harvardu přichází se svou odvážnou a kontroverzní teorií, že naši sluneční soustavu nedávno navštívila mimozemská technologie z dalekého vesmíru.
Na podzim 2017 vědci z havajské observatoře zahlédli objekt prolétávající naší vnitřní sluneční soustavou, pohyboval se tak rychle, že mohl přicházet pouze od jiné hvězdy. Astrofyzik Avi Loeb dokazuje, že se nejednalo o asteroid ani kometu; těleso se pohybovalo příliš rychle po podivné dráze a nenechalo za sebou ani plyn ani zbytky kamení. Existovalo jen jedno myslitelné vysvětlení: objekt byl vyspělou technologií stvořenou jinou vesmírnou civilizací.
V knize Extraterrestrial Loeb zavádí čtenáře na vzrušující cestu za prvním mezihvězdným návštěvníkem, který byl v naší sluneční soustavě spatřen. Předkládá svou neortodoxní hypotézu o původu objektu, který vešel ve známost jako Oumuamua, a popisuje jeho zásadní dopady na vědu, náboženství i budoucnost našeho druhu a naší planety.
Extraterrestrial je ohromující cestou po nejvzdálenějších končinách vědy, časoprostoru a lidské představivosti. Vyzývá čtenáře, aby se vydali ke hvězdám a kriticky přemýšleli o tom, co tam někde je, bez ohledu na to, jak podivné se to zdá.

Into the Deep - Mély víz (Mélyvíz 1.)
"Maradj fiatal! Élj veszélyesen! Szeress szenvedéllyel!
Charley Redford csak egy hétköznapi lány volt, amíg Jake Caplin meg nem jelent otthonában, az indianai kisvárosban, és meg nem győzte róla, hogy rendkívüli teremtés. Jake szinte már az első napon a mélyvízbe dobta Charley-t, és megígérte a lánynak, hogy kitart mellette. Ám később tragikus baleset árnyékolta be Jake életét, és a fiú gyorsan kievickélt a partra, magára hagyva Charley-t.
Négy év telt el azóta, és a lány végre úgy érzi, sikerült továbblépnie. Aztán Edinburghba utazik, hogy ott folytassa tanulmányait, és egy partin merő véletlenségből éppen Jake Caplinbe meg az új barátnőjébe botlik. A jó útra tért rosszfiú Charley bocsánatáért esedezik, aki ezek után egyre több időt tölt egykori szerelmével. Charley fegyverszünetet köt, és végül ráébred: egyre szorosabb barátság fűzi a fiúhoz.
Ahogy ők ketten közelebb kerülnek egymáshoz, újra fellángol közöttük a régi szenvedély, ami komoly fenyegetést jelent az életükre és a kapcsolataikra. Amikor a féltékenység és a vágy felüti pusztító fejét, Charley és Jake még maguknak is nehezen ismerik be, mit jelentenek egymás számára.
De ha sikerül is úrrá lenniük a helyzeten, semmi sem garantálja, hogy Charley még egyszer hagyja magát visszarángatni a mélyvízbe."
Biffy Clyro - Opposite/Victory Over The Sun LP
KDO: Biffy Clyro jsou jedním z nejúspěšnějších reprezentantů britského rocku posledních let. Prosluli divokými koncerty i hodnotnými studiovými nahrávkami, jejich styl je syrový a úderný. Mohou se pyšnit řadou cen i zajímavých nominací (např. různá ocenění hudebních časopisů NME, Q či Kerrang, prestižní Mercury Prize v roce 2010 nebo Brit Awards 2011), ostrovní média je milují. Několikrát hráli také v Čechách a jejich vystoupení vždy patřilo k zásadním koncertním zážitkům. Fungují v podstatě už od roku 1995. Debutovali v roce 2002 albem Blackened Sky, které si stejně jako dvě následující vydali sami. Později přestoupili k velkému vydavatelství.
CO: V rámci oslav desátého výročí vydání alba Opposites zveřejňují skotští hudebníci dvě vinylová EP. Jedná se o vůbec první LPs lisovaná novou ekologickou technologii na tzv. BioVinylu. Obě EP jsou poskládána ze skladeb ze zmíněné desky a doplňkového alba Similarities.

The Queens Gambit
When she is sent to an orphanage at the age of eight, Beth Harmon soon discovers two ways to escape her surroundings, albeit fleetingly: playing chess and taking the little green pills given to her and the other children to keep them subdued. Before long, it becomes apparent that hers is a prodigious talent, and as she progresses to the top of the US chess rankings she is able to forge a new life for herself. But she can never quite overcome her urge to self-destruct. For Beth, there's more at stake than merely winning and losing.
The Economic Government of the World
An epic history of money, trade and development since 1933
In 1933, Keynes reflected on the crisis of the Great Depression that arose from individualistic capitalism: 'It is not intelligent, it is not beautiful, it is not just, it is not virtuous - and it doesn't deliver the goods ... But when we wonder what to put in its place, we are extremely perplexed.' We are now in a similar state of perplexity, wondering how to respond to the economic problems of the world.
Martin Daunton examines the changing balance over ninety years between economic nationalism and globalization, explaining why one economic order breaks down and how another one is built, in a wide-ranging history of the institutions and individuals who have managed the global economy. In 1933, the World Monetary and Economic Conference brought together the nations of the world: it failed. Trade and currency warfare led to economic nationalism and a turn from globalization that culminated in war. During the Second World War, a new economic order emerged - the embedded liberalism of Bretton Woods, the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development - and the post-war General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. These institutions and their rules created a balance between domestic welfare and globalization, complemented by a social contract between labour, capital and the state to share the benefits of economic growth.
Yet this embedded liberalism reflected the interests of the 'west' in the Cold War: in the 1970s, it faced collapse, caused by its internal weaknesses and the breakdown of the social contract, and was challenged by the Third World as a form of neo-colonialism. It was succeeded by neoliberalism, financialisation and hyper-globalization. In 2008, the global financial crash exposed the flaws of neoliberalism without leading to a fundamental change. Now, as leading nations are tackling the fall-out from Covid-19 and the threats of inflation, food security and the existential risk of climate change, Martin Daunton calls for a return to a globalization that benefits many of the world's poor and a fairer capitalism that delivers domestic welfare and equality.
The Economic Government of the World is the first history to show how trade, international monetary relations, capital mobility and development impacted on and influenced each other. Martin Daunton places these economic relations in the geo-political context of the twentieth century, and considers the importance of economic ideas and of political ideology, of electoral calculations and institutional design. The book rests on extensive archival research to provide a powerful analysis of the origins of our current global crisis, and suggests how we might build a fairer international order.
