Lost Kingdom
An astonishingly wide-ranging history of Russian nationalism chronicling Russia's yearning for Empire and how it has affected its politics for centuries
In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea and attempted to seize a portion of Ukraine. While the world watched in outrage, this violation of national sovereignty was in fact only the latest iteration of a centuries-long effort to expand Russian boundaries and create a pan-Russian nation. In Lost Kingdom, award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues that we can only understand the merging of imperialism and nationalism in Russia today by delving into its history.
Spanning over two thousand years, from the end of the Mongol rule to the present day, Plokhy shows how leaders from Ivan the Terrible to Joseph Stalin to Vladimir Putin have exploited existing forms of identity, warfare and territorial expansion to achieve imperial supremacy. A strikingly ambitious book, Lost Kingdom chronicles the long and belligerent history of Russia's empire and nation-building quest.

The Kingdom of Back
Two siblings. Two brilliant talents. But only one Mozart.
Born with a gift for music, Nannerl Mozart has just one wish - to be remembered forever. But even as she delights audiences with her masterful playing, she has little hope she'll ever become the acclaimed composer she longs to be. She is a young woman in 18th century Europe, and that means composing is forbidden to her.
She will perform only until she reaches a marriageable age - her tyrannical father has made that much clear.
And as Nannerl's hope grows dimmer with each passing year, the talents of her beloved younger brother, Wolfgang, only seem to shine brighter. His brilliance begins to eclipse her own, until one day a mysterious stranger from a magical land appears with an irresistible offer. He has the power to make her wish come true- but his help may cost her everything.
In her first work of historical fiction, #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu spins a lush, lyrically-told story of music, magic, and the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister.

The Kingdom
The sensational international bestseller from one of France's most feted writers - an epic novel telling the story of Christianity as it has never been told before, and one man's crisis of faith.
Corinth, ancient Greece, two thousand years ago. An itinerant preacher, poor, wracked by illness, tells the story of a prophet who was crucified in Judea, who came back from the dead, and whose return is a sign of something enormous. Like a contagion, the story will spread over the city, the country and, eventually, the world. Emmanuel Carrere's astonishing historical epic tells the story of the mysterious beginnings of Christianity, bringing to life a distant, primeval past of strange sects, apocalyptic beliefs and political turmoil. In doing so Carrere, once himself a fervent believer, questions his own faith, asks why we believe in resurrection, and what it means. The Kingdom is his masterpiece.

Technické pamiatky Prešova
Držíte v rukách prvú mapu technických pamiatok Prešova. Vznikla z iniciatívy projektu Čierne diery. O jej obsah sa však najviac zaslúžili sami Prešovčania združenie Ta Take Town a odborníci na pamiatkovú ochranu. V Prešove stojí jedna z najvýznamnejších technických pamiatok na území Slovenska Solivar. Ťažba kamenej soli a čerpanie soľanky, z ktorej sa varila soľ, sa začali v roku 1571 hĺbením šachty Leopold, pôvodne nazývanej Cisárska. Dosahuje hĺbku 155 metrov. Po takmer sto rokoch ťažby nad ňou vznikol konský gápeľ, ktorý pomáhal dopraviť vyťaženú soľ na povrch. Celý areál tvorí až 17 zachovaných objektov, vrátane kostola a dvoch kaplniek. Najznámejšou pamiatkou je hlavný sklad soli. Ale objavovať je čo aj mimo Solivaru. Hoci mesto obišla veľká vlna industrializácie v 19. storočí, Prešov a jeho okolie skrývajú viacero pozoruhodných technických stavieb. Turisti navštevujú opálové bane, ale možno sa teraz viac dozvedia aj o chátrajúcom mlyne vo Veľkom Šariši či o vodárni v Ľuboticiach. Práve v tom má mapa pomôcť upriamiť pozornosť na objekty našej histórie, ktoré často prehliadame.
Kingdom of Ash
Years in the making, Sarah J. Maas's #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series draws to an epic, unforgettable conclusion. Aelin Galathynius's journey from slave to king's assassin to the queen of a once-great kingdom reaches its heart-rending finale as war erupts across her world. . .
Aelin has risked everything to save her people-but at a tremendous cost. Locked within an iron coffin by the Queen of the Fae, Aelin must draw upon her fiery will as she endures months of torture. Aware that yielding to Maeve will doom those she loves keeps her from breaking, though her resolve begins to unravel with each passing day...
With Aelin captured, Aedion and Lysandra remain the last line of defense to protect Terrasen from utter destruction. Yet they soon realize that the many allies they've gathered to battle Erawan's hordes might not be enough to save them. Scattered across the continent and racing against time, Chaol, Manon, and Dorian are forced to forge their own paths to meet their fates. Hanging in the balance is any hope of salvation-and a better world.
And across the sea, his companions unwavering beside him, Rowan hunts to find his captured wife and queen-before she is lost to him forever.
As the threads of fate weave together at last, all must fight, if they are to have a chance at a future. Some bonds will grow even deeper, while others will be severed forever in the explosive final chapter of the Throne of Glass series.

Technické pamiatky Žiliny
Držíte v rukách prvú mapu technických pamiatok Žiliny. Vznikla z iniciatívy projektu Čierne diery, o jej obsah sa však najviac zaslúžili samotní Žilinčania, aby pomohli upriamiť pozornosť na prehliadané objekty našej histórie. Rozmach Žiliny nastal s výstavbou železníc v druhej polovici 19. storočia, kedy sa z malého mesta s tritisíc obyvateľmi stal dopravný uzol s rastúcim hospodárskym významom. Z tohto obdobia sa zachovalo viacero železničných pamiatok, ale napríklad aj prvá veľká žilinská továreň. Súkenka, neskôr známa ako Slovena, chátra a jej budúce využitie je otázne, podobne ako v prípade historickej železničnej stanice Nová Žilina s priľahlými bytovkami. K pozitívnejším príkladom patria bývalé objekty elektrární: Ciachovňa slúži kultúre a administratívnu budovu čaká rekonštrukcia na bývanie. Historické objekty zápalkárne sú tiež využívané na nové účely. Budovy starej celulózky sa zachovali v areáli Metsä Tissue. Pamiatky na elektrifikáciu Žiliny zo závodu Helios stoja v areáli Stredoslovenskej energetiky. Takýchto skrytých priemyselných fragmentov je v Žiline viac. K väčšine z nich nie sú dostupné podrobnejšie informácie. Dúfame, že lepšia osveta povedie k zvýšeniu záujmu o priemyselné dedičstvo.

Technické pamiatky Banskej Bystrice
Držíte v rukách prvú mapu technických pamiatok Banskej Bystrice. Vznikla z iniciatívy bystrických nadšencov, v rámci série Čierne diery a projektu Sokratovho inštitútu. Oblasť Banskej Bystrice bola kedysi jedným z najväčších producentov medi na svete, tvorila až 40% svetovej produkcie medi. Spoločný podnik uhorského mešťana Jána Thurza a augsburgského bankára Jakoba Fuggera zmodernizoval od konca 15. storočia banícku výrobu, vybudoval veľké hutnícke centrá a rozsiahly Medený hámor, kde sa meď spracovávala. Hámor fungoval takmer päťsto rokov, dnes chátrajú aj jeho posledné zachované objekty. Meď sa ťažila hlavne v neďalekej Španej Doline a v Starých Horách. Aj preto sme do mapy Banskej Bystrice vložili časť jej okolia, bohatého na zachované štôlne, šachty a banícke domčeky. Množstvo vyťažených drahých kovov putovalo cez Gőrgeiho tunel do mincovne v Kremnici. Tunelom pochodovali aj rôzne armády a počas Slovenského národného povstania ním dokonca previezli štátny poklad. História mesta je fascinujúca. Fabrika na modrotlač a stoličková továreň už zanikli, ale málokto vie, že za hodinovou vežou sa zachoval starý pivovar a meštiansky dom s unikátnou strechou. a že na vrchu Laskomer stojí vysielač, ktorým vyhlásili SNP. Tieto a ďalšie technické pamiatky sú dnes ohrozené. Mapa upozorňuje na ich slovenský, v niektorých prípadoch celosvetový význam a pripája aj ďalšie zaujímavosti mesta.
Kingdom of the Blind

Ľúbim ťa
Ľúbim ťa je knižka o jedinečnej rodičovskej láske, ktorá sa pomocou príbehu prihovára nielen detským srdciam, ale aj dospelým. Stranu po strane cez zaujímavý dej knižka ubezpečuje dieťa, že je milované také, aké je. Zároveň inšpiruje rodiča zamyslieť sa nad tým, ako veľmi sa dieťa potrebuje cítiť milované a poukazuje na situácie, kedy správanie rodiča môže ovplyvniť detské vnímanie rodičovskej lásky.
Slimáčik Félix je veselá bytosť so slobodnou dušou, ktorá, ako každé dieťa, veľmi miluje svojich rodičov. Pretože ich tak veľmi ľúbi, v niektorých situáciách, keď pochybí, alebo neposlúchne, rozmýšľa, či ho rodičia milujú aj napriek jeho chybám. Dostáva sa do vypätých situácií, pomocou ktorých spoznáva svoje pocity a objavuje nové životné hodnoty. Na konci príbehu Félix nachádza aj hranicu medzi slobodou a zodpovednosťou, čo ho naučí, že hoci sú všetky jeho pocity správne a rodičia ho stále milujú, nie všetky druhy správania sú prijateľné.
