Breath
There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. In Breath, journalist James Nestor travels the world to discover the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.
Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can:
- jump-start athletic performance
- rejuvenate internal organs
- halt snoring, allergies, asthma and autoimmune disease, and even straighten scoliotic spines
None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.
You will never breathe the same again.
Killing Commendatore
When a thirty-something portrait painter is abandoned by his wife, he holes up in the mountain home of a famous artist. The days drift by, spent painting, listening to music and drinking whiskey in the evenings. But then he discovers a strange painting in the attic and unintentionally begins a strange journey of self-discovery that involves a mysterious ringing bell, a precocious thirteen-year-old girl, a Nazi assassination attempt and a haunted underworld.
A stunning work of imagination, Killing Commendatore is a surreal tale of love and loneliness, war and art.
Science Illustration
Science and illustration have always walked hand in hand, and not only the scientific community but the general public as well have used images since early history to understand natural phenomena. Moreover, from Galileo to Einstein, our modern history has been written with the key support of art and with all the insights it contributes. This XL-sized book collects more than 300 graphic works that range from original sketches to technical drawings, and from meticulous hand illustrations to computer-generated images.
The Western scientific revolution that started in the 14th century catapulted humankind into a completely new way of understanding how nature and the world around us behaved. Whether it was diseases caused by viruses or the vast galaxies of the cosmos, a new army of professionals turned their minds to unlocking and reshaping the universe of our experience with a dialectic positioned between theory and evidence. The field of illustration and the development of knowledge became inseparably intertwined, as can be seen by the majestic works shown in this book that were produced by the scientists and artists who specialized in this combined field.
Explore here the work of more than 700 scientists and over 300 discoveries in anatomy, physics, chemistry, astronomy, mechanics, and many other scientific fields, through the visual works that bring them to life. Combined with detailed texts explaining their scientific significance, the illustrations in this book introduce the work of such pionieering scientists as Andreas Vesalius, Isaac Newton, Marie Curie, and Rosalind Franklin. The visualizations themselves present game-changing ideas and discoveries from the 15th century to the present day, notably including Galileo's watercolors of the moon, Bourgery's unparalleled Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery, Florence Nightingale's statistical diagrams to indicate war casualties, and Einstein's quickly scribbled ideas for his general theory of relativity.
Many discoveries in science take place as the result of counterintuitive thinking, and in order to visualize their work scientists have to connect with the resources of collective knowledge and in turn convey new information back to people. This book is for everyone who is continually amazed by the wonders of our world and who wants to find out more about it through the remarkable illustrations used to present advances in scientific understanding.
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.

Bridgertonovci 7: Spoznáš to z jeho bozkov
Zoznámte sa s naším hrdinom...
Gareth St. Clair sa ocitol v ťažkej situácii. Jeho otec, ktorý ho nenávidí, je rozhodnutý zruinovať majetok St. Clairovcov a aj jeho dedičstvo. Garethovi sa dostane do rúk starý rodinný denník, v ktorom sa možno ukrývajú tajomstvá týkajúce sa jeho minulosti... a kľúč k jeho budúcnosti. Problémom je, že je napísaný v taliančine a Gareth nevie ani slovo po taliansky.
Zoznámte sa s našou hrdinkou
Všetci v spoločnosti sa zhodujú: neexistuje nikto ako Hyacinth Bridgertonová. Je neskutočne inteligentná, diabolsky výrečná a podľa Garetha, znesiteľná v malých dávkach. Je však na nej niečo očarujúce a znepokojujúce čo ho k nej priťahuje...
Zoznámte sa s chudákom pánom Mozartom
Alebo radšej nie. Keď sa cesty Garetha a Hyacinth skrížia na každoročnom disharmonickom hudobnom večierku Smythe-Smithovcov, určite sa obracia v hrobe. Zdá sa, že Garethove slová sú pre Hyacinth výzvou, a tak mu navrhne, že preloží jeho denník. Keď sa však ponárajú hlbšie do textu, prídu na to, že odpovede, ktoré hľadajú, sa nenachádzajú v denníku, ale v nich... a neexistuje nič jednoduchšie alebo zložitejšie ako dokonalý bozk.

Ez a borzalmas teremtmény megállíthatatlan hajtincseivel és hatalmas robotjaival jó úton halad a világuralom felé. Csak egy hős van, aki az útjába állhat: Alsógatyás Kapitány!

Korn - Untitled (Limited Edition Glow In The Dark Cover) 2LP
Korn je americká nu metalová skupina z Bakersfieldu v Kalifornii, založená v roku 1993. Skupina je známa tým, že je priekopníkom nu metalového žánru a prináša ho do hlavného prúdu. Pôvodne ju založili v roku 1993 traja členovia kapely L.A.P.D., súčasnú zostavu Korn tvoria zakladajúci členovia James "Munky" Shaffer (gitara); Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu (basgitara); Brian "Head" Welch (gitara, sprievodné vokály); a Jonathan Davis (spev, gajdy) a v roku 2007 sa k nim pridal Ray Luzier (bicie), ktorý nahradil prvého bubeníka kapely Davida Silveriu. Korn v roku 1993 nakrútili demo kazetu Neidermayer's Mind, ktorá bola bezplatne distribuovaná nahrávacím spoločnostiam a na požiadanie aj verejnosti. Ich debutový album Korn bol vydaný v roku 1994, po ktorom nasledoval ich komerčný prelom Life Is Peachy v roku 1996. Kapela prvýkrát zaznamenala mainstreamový úspech s albumami Follow the Leader (1998) a Issues (1999), ktoré obe debutovali na prvom mieste na Billboard 200. Mainstreamový úspech kapely pokračoval albumom Untouchables (2002); Take a Look in the Mirro (2003); a See You on the Other Side (2005).
Untitled je ôsmy štúdiový album, ktorý vyšiel 31. júla 2007 vo vydavateľstve Virgin Records. Je to jediný štúdiový album kapely bez oficiálneho bubeníka, vydané medzi odchodom Davida Silveriu v roku 2006 a príchodom Raya Luziera koncom roka 2007. Spevák Jonathan Davis najal bubeníkov Terryho Bozzia a Brooksa Wackermana ako session hudobníkov. Album bol zámerne vydaný bez názvu, ako Davis zdôvodnil: „Prečo to naši fanúšikovia nenazvú ako chcú?“

Cezanne
An updated edition of this classic survey, a thorough overview of Paul Cezanne's life and work.
For Picasso he was 'like our father'; for Matisse, 'a god of painting'. Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) is widely regarded as the father of modern art. In this authoritative and accessible study, Richard Verdi traces the evolution of Cezanne's landscape, still-life and figure compositions, from the turbulently romantic creations of his youth to the visionary masterpieces of his final years. The painter's biography - his fluctuating reputation and strained relations with his parents, wife and close friend Emile Zola - is vividly evoked using excerpts from his own letters and from contemporary accounts of the artist.
Cezanne was torn between the desires to create art and to seek inspiration - to master the themes of the past, through his copying sessions in the Louvre, and to explore the eternal qualities of nature in the countryside of his native Provence. In this way the artist sought 'to make of Impressionism something solid and durable, like the art of the museums'. In this richly illustrated overview Verdi explores the strength, vitality and magnitude of Cezanne's achievement.
