Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: (Book 3: Lesser Evil)
The fate of the Chiss Ascendancy hangs in the balance in the epic finale of the Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy from bestselling author Timothy Zahn.
For thousands of years The Chiss Ascendancy has been an island of calm, a center of power, and a beacon of integrity. Led by the Nine Ruling Families, their leadership stands as a bulwark of stability against the Chaos of the Unknown Regions.
But that stability has been eroded by a cunning foe that winnows away trust and loyalty in equal measure. Bonds of fidelity have given way to lines of division among the families. Despite the efforts of the Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Ascendancy slips closer and closer toward civil war.
The Chiss are no strangers to war. Their mythic status in the Chaos was earned through conflict and terrible deeds, some long buried. Until now. To ensure the Ascendancy's future, Thrawn will delve deep into its past, uncovering the dark secrets surrounding the ascension of the First Ruling Family. But the truth of a family's legacy is only as strong as the legend that supports it. Even if that legend turns out to be a lie.
To secure the salvation of the Ascendancy, is Thrawn willing to sacrifice everything? Including the only home he has ever known?

Books do Furnish a Life
'Richard Dawkins is a thunderously gifted science writer.' Sunday Times
'It may be a collection of shorter parts, but the book is in no sense Dawkins made simple. It amounts to a substantive whole which offers a unitary panoramic view across his entire intellectual life.' Spectator
Including conversations with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Steven Pinker, Matt Ridley and more, this is an essential guide to the most exciting ideas of our time and their proponents from our most brilliant science communicator.
Books Do Furnish a Life is divided by theme, including celebrating nature, exploring humanity, and interrogating faith. For the first time, it brings together Richard Dawkins' forewords, afterwords and introductions to the work of some of the leading thinkers of our age - Carl Sagan, Lawrence Krauss, Jacob Bronowski, Lewis Wolpert - with a selection of his reviews to provide an electrifying celebration of science writing, both fiction and non-fiction. It is also a sparkling addition to Dawkins' own remarkable canon of work.
Plenty of other scientists write well, but no one writes like Dawkins... here is Dawkins the teacher, the scholar, the polemicist, the joker, the aesthete, the poet, the satirist, the man of compassion as well as indignation, the slayer of superstition and, above all, the scientist. - Areo Magazine

Complete Poetry of Edgar Allan Poe
From the author of The Tell-Tale Heart, The Pit and the Pendulum, and The Murders in the Rue Morgue . . .Although best known for his short stories, Edgar Allan Poe was by nature and choice a poet. This edition of his complete poetry illustrates the transcendent world of unity and ultimate beauty he created in his verse. From his exquisite lyric To Helen to his immortal masterpieces Annabel Lee, The Bells, and The Raven, Poe stands beside the celebrated English Romantic poets Shelley, Byron, and Keats, and his haunting, sensuous poetic vision profoundly influenced the Victorian giants Swinburne, Tennyson, and Rossetti. Today his dark side speaks eloquently to contemporary readers in his poems, such as The Haunted Palace and The Conqueror Worm, with their powerful images of madness and the macabre. But even at the end of his life, Poe reached out to his art for comfort and courage, giving us in Eldorado a talisman to hold during our darkest moments a timeless gift from an American writer. With an Introduction by Jay Pariniand an Afterword by April Bernard"
Filter - The Amalgamut 2LP
"The Amalgamut" je tretí štúdiový album americkej rockovej skupiny Filter, vydaný 30. júla 2002 vo vydavateľstve Reprise Records. Na rozdiel od ich prvých dvoch albumov Short Bus (1995) a Title of Record (1999), ktoré boli oba certifikované ako platinové, album sa zastavil pred dosiahnutím 100 000 predaných kópií, čiastočne kvôli tomu, že frontman Richard Patrick zrušil zo zdravotných dôvodov svoje hlavné turné. Album mal v rámci propagácie ešte vydané dva single: „Where Do We Go from Here“ a „American Cliché“. The Amalgamut bol posledným albumom s členmi skupiny Geno Lenardo, Frank Cavanagh a Steve Gillis, pričom Patrick založil kapelu Army of Any, keď sa dostali z rehabilitácie. Bol to posledný album Filter, ktorý vyšiel až o šesť rokov neskôr, keď Patrick zreformoval skupinu o nových členov a v roku 2008 vydal Anthems for the Damned.

LP 1:
1. You Walk Away

The Hidden Language of Symbols
A stimulating narrative and reference resource that guides the reader through the most significant symbols from worldwide art history.
Why do we reach for the red rose on Valentine's day? Where did the owl gain its reputation for wisdom? Why should you never trust a fox? In this visual tour through art history, Matthew Wilson pieces together a global visual language enshrined in art: the language of symbols.
Symbols exert a strong hold in the image-saturated 21st century, and have done so for thousands of years. From national emblems to corporate logos and emojis, our day-to-day lives abound with icons with roots in the distant past. Expert art historian Matthew Wilson traces the often surprising trajectories that symbols have taken through history, from their original purposes to their modern meanings, identifying the common themes and ideas that link seemingly disparate cultures. Thus we meet the falcon as a symbol of authority from the ancient Egyptian pharaohs to the medieval aristocracy; the dog as stalwart companion from the classical era to the Renaissance; and the mythical phoenix as a symbol of female power connecting a queen in England with a goddess in China. We also see moments of radical reinterpretation and change: the transformation of the swastika from an auspicious symbol of hope to one of hate.
From Palaeolithic cave paintings to contemporary installations, Wilson deftly guides us through this world of symbols, showcasing their enduring ability to express power, hope, fear and faith, and to create and communicate identities, uniting - or dividing - the people that made them.
Mozart in Motion
Mozart is one of the most familiar and beloved icons of our culture, but how much do we really understand of his music, and what can it reveal to us of the great composer? In exhilarating, transformative prose, Patrick Mackie mixes biographical storytelling with deep dives into the experience of listening to Mozart''s music to reveal a musician in dialogue with culture at its most sweepingly progressive, when Europe was caught between two historical worlds.
We follow Mozart from his adolescence in Salzburg to his early death; from his close and rivalrous relationship with his father to his romantic attachments; from his hugely successful operas to intimate compositions on the keyboard. Mackie leads the reader through the major and lesser-known moments of the composer''s life and brings alive the teeming, swivelling, modernity of eighteenth-century Europe. In this era of rococo painting, surrealist aesthetics and political turbulence, Mozart reckoned with a searing talent which threatened to overwhelm him, all the while pushing him to extraordinary feats of musicianship.
Returned to the volatility of the eighteenth century, we hear Mozart''s music in all its audacious vividness, gaining fresh perspectives on why his works still move us so intensely today, as we continue to search for a modernity he imagined into being.
Paul Simon
Paul Simon je nepřehlédnutelnou osobností světové písničkářské scény. Marc Eliot, autor životopisných bestsellerů, nabízí v knize zevrubnou a vyčerpávající sondu do hudebního i soukromého světa této osobnosti a čtenář má k dispozici objevný pohled na jednoho z největších umělců naší doby.
Kniha odpovídá na řadu dotazů ze Simonova života, dozvíme se, jak se Paul seznámil se spolužákem Artem, a zjistíme, že tradici rozpadů a návratů ti dva zahájili dávno předtím, než si začali říkat Simon & Garfunkel. Eliot na základě obsáhlých rozhovorů s řadou Simonových přátel, kolegů a spolupracovníků zasvěceně popisuje, jak duo roku 1963 prorazilo v klubu Gerde's Folk City, co dělal Paul v Anglii, zatímco ve Státech trhala rekordy upravená nahrávka skladby The Sound Of Silence, a jak se z písně, kterou vlastně ani nedopsal, stal jeden z největších hitů Simona & Garfunkela.
Autor podrobně vypráví, jakou zásadní roli Paul sehrál na festivalu v Monterey, jak dostala herecká dráha Arta Garfunkela přednost před natáčením a vydáním alba Bridge Over Troubled Water a do jaké míry tato poslední a nejdůležitější deska Simona & Garfunkela dokumentuje jejich dlouhé a neklidné partnerství. Pochopíme, jaké nesmírné úsilí vynaložil Paul Simon na to, aby jeho první sólová nahrávka zněla úplně jinak než alba dua S & G. Vleklý a složitý proces vedl ke vzniku alba Graceland, jež v osmdesátých letech znovu nastartovalo hudebníkovu kariéru. Kniha také přináší celou pravdu o Simonově katastrofálním neúspěchu, když se v letech devadesátých pokusil dobýt Broadway s muzikálem The Capeman.
