The War of the Worlds
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied. Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
Then, late one night, in the middle of the English countryside, they landed.
The Fall of Gondolin
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a standalone work, the epic tale of The Fall of Gondolin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Balrogs, Dragons and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien's Middle-earth.
In the Tale of The Fall of Gondolin are two of the greatest powers in the world. There is Morgoth of the uttermost evil, unseen in this story but ruling over a vast military power from his fortress of Angband. Deeply opposed to Morgoth is Ulmo, second in might only to Manwe, chief of the Valar.
Central to this enmity of the gods is the city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. It was built and peopled by Noldorin Elves who, when they dwelt in Valinor, the land of the gods, rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor in heated debate largely refuse to intervene in support of Ulmo's desires and designs.
Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Turin, the instrument of Ulmo's designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out from the land of his birth on the fearful journey to Gondolin, and in one of the most arresting moments in the history of Middle-earth the sea-god himself appears to him, rising out of the ocean in the midst of a storm. In Gondolin he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon's daughter, and their son is Earendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo.
At last comes the terrible ending. Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. After a minutely observed account of the fall of Gondolin, the tale ends with the escape of Tuor and Idril, with the child Earendel, looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city. They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Earendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources.
Following his presentation of Beren and Luthien Christopher Tolkien has used the same 'history in sequence' mode in the writing of this edition of The Fall of Gondolin. In the words of J.R.R. Tolkien, it was 'the first real story of this imaginary world' and, together with Beren and Luthien and The Children of Hurin, he regarded it as one of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days.

The Psychology of Stupidity
'We need books like this one' - psychologist Steven Pinker
At last, stupidity explained! And by some of the world's smartest people, among them Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Alison Gopnik, Howard Gardner, Antonio Damasio, Aaron James and Ryan Holiday.
Stupidity is all around us, from the colleagues who won't stop hitting 'reply all' to the former school friends posting conspiracy theories on Facebook. But in order to battle idiocy, we must first understand it. In The Psychology of Stupidity, some of the world's leading psychologists and thinkers - including a Nobel Prize winner - will show you . . .
* Why smart people sometimes believe in utter nonsense
* How our lazy brains cause us to make the wrong decisions
* Why trying to debate with fools is a trap
* How media manipulation and Internet overstimulation makes us dumber
* Why the stupidest people don't think they're stupid
As long as there have been humans there has been human stupidity, but with wit and wisdom these great thinkers can help us understand this persistent human affliction.

Debutový album kapely „30 Seconds to Mars“ (2002), produkoval Bob Ezrin a vyšiel s pozitívnymi ohlasmi, ale len s obmedzeným komerčným úspechom. Kapela sa celosvetovo preslávila vydaním svojho druhého albumu “A Beautiful Lie“ (2005), ktorý získal viacero ocenení po celom svete. „This Is War“ (2009), ukázalo dramatický vývoj v hudobnom štýle kapely, pretože zahŕňalo experimentálnu hudbu, ako aj eklektické vplyvy. Proces nahrávania albumu bol poznačený súdnym sporom s nahrávacou spoločnosťou EMI, ktorý sa nakoniec stal námetom pre dokumentárny film „Artifact“ (2012). Thirty Seconds to Mars sa potom presunuli do Universal Music a vydali štvrtý album „Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams“ (2013), ktorý zaznamenal kritický a komerčný úspech. Po ňom nasledovala „Amerika“ (2018), ktorá po vydaní polarizovala kritikov.

The new queen leads her people in new rituals of sacrifice and blood in devotion to the altar of Holland Vosijk, summoning vast power she may not be able to control.
Now Lila and Kell, living free on the waves, are charged by the captain of the Floating Market to retrieve an immensely powerful artefact, stolen by secretive forces. Now Tes, a young woman with a knack for fixing broken things, is thrust into the affairs of Antari and kings, traitors and thieves. And only her unique powers can weave the threads of power together.

Daughter of the Deep
From the creator of PERCY JACKSON, bestselling author Rick Riordan, comes a brand-new adventure, inspired by Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
Ana Dakkar is a freshman at Harding-Pencroft Academy, a five-year high school that graduates the best marine scientists, naval warriors, navigators, and underwater explorers in the world. Ana's parents died while on a scientific expedition two years ago, and the only family's she's got left is her older brother, Dev, also a student at HP. Ana's freshman year culminates with the class's weekend trial at sea, the details of which have been kept secret. She only hopes she has what it'll take to succeed. All her worries are blown out of the water when, on the bus ride to the ship, Ana and her schoolmates witness a terrible tragedy that will change the trajectory of their lives.
But wait, there's more. The professor accompanying them informs Ana that their rival school, Land Institute, and Harding-Pencroft have been fighting a cold war for a hundred and fifty years. But now the heat is on and the freshman are in danger of becoming fish food. In a race against deadly enemies, Ana will make amazing friends and astounding discoveries about her heritage as she puts her leadership skills to the test for the first time.
Rick Riordan's trademark humour, fast-paced action, and wide cast of characters are on full display in this undersea adventure.
Rick Riordan has now sold an incredible 180 million copies of his books worldwide.

Electronic - Get The Message: The Best Of 2CD
KDO: V projektu Electronic se sešli dva významní britští hudebníci – zpěvák a kytarista Bernard Sumner z New Order a kytarista Johnny Marr z The Smiths. Na hudbě manchesterské skupiny se zčásti podíleli také Neil Tennant a Chris Lowe z Pet Shop Boys nebo Karl Bartos z Kraftwerk. Superskupina se zrodila v roce 1988, kdy frustrovaný Sumner hodlal natočit sólovou desku, ale během připrav pochopil, že ji nechce dělat sám. Oslovil Marra, se kterým už spolupracoval v minulosti. Debutový singl Getting Away With It proklouzl do americké Top 40 a Electronic následně předskakovali slavným Depeche Mode na jejich severoamerickém turné v roce 1990. Vydali tři studiová alba.
CO: Reedice. Sbírka nejdůležitějších momentů superskupiny, ve které v devadesátých letech působily ikony světové populární hudby, vyšla původně v roce 2006. Zájemci na desce najdou singly a jejich B strany i další nahrávky Electronic. K dispozici na 2CD a vůbec poprvé také na vinylu.
