Heaven and Earth
Under the lens of a microscope or through the shaft of a telescope the beauty of life and the universe is dramatically revealed. Hidden from sight because of the restricted ability of the human eye, minute creatures and distant solar systems are made visible for scientific investigation. Atoms, grains of pollen, snow flakes, butterfly wings, cloud formations, searing comets and star showers display their hidden wonders. Heaven and Earth charts an awe-inspiring voyage of discovery through this infinite world of science – from the smallest particles on the earth’s surface to gigantic galaxies thousands of light years away. Featuring the varied life forms, materials and phenomena of the cosmos, the book navigates a fascinating course through an unfamiliar world and celebrates the beauty and boundless mysteries of planet earth and the universe. The images are presented in sequence according to scale and distance within chapters, and are roughly grouped by the instruments required for scientific study – microscope, x-ray, satellite, telescope or other viewing instrument. These beautiful but unfamiliar images are accompanied by extended captions which explain what we are looking at, how big or small it is, how near or far away, and how it was photographed.

Through the lens of a microscope or the shaft of a telescope exists a universe of boundless life and beauty, that is entirely invisible to the naked eye. Atoms, ice crystals, grains of pollen, snowflakes, butterfly wings, cloud formations, searing comets, and showers of stars are born, live and die. The unprecedented scope of "Heaven &, Earth" offers an awe-inspiring voyage of discovery through this infinite world that is science - from the smallest particles on the earth's surface to tiny dots in galaxies that are billions of light years away. Revealing the extensive range of matter contained in the cosmos, this book navigates a fascinating trajectory through an unexplored world, to celebrate the immeasurable beauty and countless mysteries of planet earth and the universe. It charts - chapter by chapter - intricate landscapes of increasing scale and distance, captured by microscope, x-ray, satellite and telescope. Each magnificent photograph is accompanied by an extended caption that explains it in detail, offering a dose of scientific information that enables us to associate with it on a human scale. This volume presents a unique and richly illustrated insight into the momentous relation between aesthetics and nature, in the light of nature's magnitude and its complexity of life.

Heaven on Earth
The emergence of the Gothic in twelfth-century France, an architectural style characterized by pointed arches, rib vaults, flying buttresses, large windows and elaborate tracery, triggered an explosion of cathedral-building across western Europe. It is this remarkable flowering of ecclesiastical architecture that forms the central core of Emma Wells's authoritative but accessible study of the golden age of the cathedral. Prefacing her account with the construction in the sixth century of the Hagia Sophia, the remarkable Christian cathedral of the eastern Roman empire, she goes on to chart the construction of a glittering sequence of iconic structures, including Saint-Denis, Notre-Dame, Canterbury, Chartres, Salisbury, York Minster and Florence's Duomo.
More than architectural biographies, these are human stories of triumph and tragedy that take the reader from the chaotic atmosphere of the mason's yard to the cloisters of power. Together, they reveal how 1000 years of cathedral-building shaped modern Europe, and influenced art, culture and society around the world.

Tajemství Heavenu: Země z popela
V půvabné zemi jménem Heaven se dělí lidé podle barvy očí do tří říší – říše květin, říše umění a říše chaosu. V každé z nich se žije zcela rozdílným způsobem a lidé spolu ne vždy vycházejí. Čtyři studenti z různých říší se podivnou náhodou setkají v hlavním městě a odhalují ohavná tajemství systému této země. Zjišťují, že existuje skupina, kterou společnost nepřijala. Ta se už rozhodla přestat skrývat svou odlišnost a ukázat světu, co je zač.
The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store
In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighbourhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows.
As the story moves back in time to the 1930s and the characters' stories overlap and deepen, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins struggle and what they must do to survive.
When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill, McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community - heaven and earth - that sustain us.

Lacná kniha Made In Heaven
Zannah and Adrian are planning to marry in May, the loveliest time of year. Zannah has always wanted a beautiful, traditional wedding and feels she missed out the first time around when she married Cal, father of her daughter Isis. Now two families are to meet for the first time. Will the slightly bohemian Gratrixes from Cheshire and the wealthy Ashtons from the Home Counties like each other? The meeting will take place on neutral territory, at a lunch party in the home of Zannah's Great-Aunt Charlotte in London—but no one anticipates the reaction when Zannah's mother and Adrian's stepfather first meet and the series of events that is set in motion. Full of revelations, reconciliations, and romance, this charming novel shows that not all marriages are made in heaven.

A New Science of Heaven
The story of the science of plasma and its revolutionary implications for the way we understand the universe and our place in it.
Histories of science in the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration which has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe. It is unknown to the general public despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners, senior academics and major research centres around the world have been devoted to it - it is the study of plasma.
Plasma is the fourth state of matter and the other three - gas, liquid and solids - emerge out of plasma. This book will reveal how over 99% of the universe is made of plasma and how there are two gigantic clouds of plasma, called the Kordylewski Clouds, hovering between the Earth and the Moon, only recently discovered by astronomers in Hungary. Other revelations not previously known outside narrow academic disciplines include the evidence that in certain circumstances plasma exhibits features that suggest they may be in some sense alive: clouds of plasma have evolved double helixes, banks of cells and crystals, filaments and junctions which could control the flow of electric currents, thus generating an intelligence similar to machine intelligence. We may, in fact, have been looking for signs of extra-terrestrial life in the wrong place.
Bestselling author Robert Temple has been following the study of plasma for decades and was personally acquainted with several of the senior scientists - including Nobel laureates - at its forefront, including Paul Dirac, David Bohm, Peter Mitchell and Chandra Wickramasinghe (who has co-written an academic paper with Temple).

Heaven and Earth
Every summer Teresa follows her father to his childhood home in Puglia, down in the heel of Italy, a land of relentless, shimmering heat, centuries-old olive groves and taciturn, proud people. There Teresa spends long afternoons enveloped in a sun-struck stupor, reading her grandmother's cheap crime paperbacks.
Everything changes the summer she meets the three boys who live on the masseria next door: Nicola, Tommaso and Bern - the man Teresa will love for the rest of her life. Raised like brothers on a farm that feels to Teresa almost suspended in time, the three boys share a complex, intimate and seemingly unassailable bond.
But no bond is unbreakable and no summer truly endless, as Teresa soon discovers.
Because there is resentment underneath the surface of that strange brotherhood, a twisted kind of love that protects a dark secret. And when Bern - the enigmatic, restless gravitational centre of the group - commits a brutal act of revenge, not even a final pilgrimage to the edge of the world will be enough to bring back those perfect, golden hours in the shadow of the olive trees.
Just Like Heaven
The first in the Smythe-Smith Quartet, a dazzlingly witty series by the bestselling author of Bridgerton, now a series created for Netflix by Shondaland.
Honoria Smythe-Smith, the youngest daughter of the eldest son of the Earl of Winstead, plays the violin in the annual musicale performed by the Smythe-Smith quartet. She's well aware that they are dreadful. In fact, she freely admits (to her cousins) that she is probably the worst of the bunch. But she's the sort who figures that nothing good will come of being mortified, so she puts on a good show and laughs about it.
Marcus Holroyd is the best friend of Honoria's brother Daniel, who lives in exile out of the country. He's promised to watch out for Honoria and takes his responsibility very seriously. But he has his work cut out for him when Honoria sets off for Cambridge determined to marry by the end of the season. She's got her eye on the only unmarried Bridgerton, who's a bit wet behind the ears. When her advances are spurned, can Marcus swoop in and steal her heart in time for the musicale?

Poriadok v hlave
„Ak si chceš upratať v živote, musíš si najprv upratať v hlave,“ píše Martin Poliačik v úvode knihy Poriadok v hlave. So spoluautorkou Lindou Lančovou pripravili prehľadného a názorného sprievodcu kritickým myslením, ktorý vás naučí, ako postaviť argument, ako sa správne pýtať, ako kritizovať či ako prezentovať svoje myšlienky. A ako dosiahnuť nielen to, aby s vami ľudia súhlasili, ale najmä to, aby pochopili vaše postoje a východiská. Pretože tak ako hovorí názov jednej z 26 kapitol, niekedy je úsmev po stretnutí viac ako dobre dohodnutý obchod.
Martin Poliačik vychádza zo svojej dlhoročnej praxe debatéra a konzultanta, ale aj aktívneho politika a aj vďaka tomu kniha Poriadok v hlave obsahuje množstvo názorných ukážok efektívne aj neefektívne vedených rozhovorov a argumentačných výmen, infografiky a grafy, odbornejšie texty venované dejinám kritického myslenia aj vtipné príklady z nám dobre známeho prostredia.
Kniha vychádza v knižnej edícii Denníka N ako 50. publikácia v poradí.
