Illustrated Yoga Anatomy
This is a book for yoga practitioners, whether teachers or students and irrespective of style. It is about the doing of yoga, not abstract theory. Stu's focus throughout the book is on providing useful insights into what influences movement, and stability in the human body, and the implementation of those ideas into a physical yoga practice. Many students can be put off the subject of anatomy because in the wrong hands it can be dry and hard to relate to, but that won't happen here. Drawing from his many years of teaching yoga anatomy in studios around the world, Stu has managed to determine the most relevant information and the best way to present it. His relaxed style and emphasis on useability make the book engaging and enlightening.
All of the concepts are brought to life by the fantastic illustrator Bug, who conjures up a visual feast that combines detail where needed with plenty of humour to enhance the reading and learning experience. The book is crammed with illustrations, providing visually stimulating concepts, and many practical exercises to help transition from the page to the body. If you are looking for a book that helps you incorporate anatomical principles into the way you perform yoga postures, increase flexibility and build strength, then this one will definitely deliver.

First People
An illuminating exploration of early Southern African hunters and herders.
In First People, archaeologist Andrew Smith examines what we know about Southern Africa's early people, drawing on evidence from archaeological sites and rock art, the observations of colonial-era travellers, linguistics, and the study of the human genome.
Smith has studied the history and prehistory of the Khoisan throughout his long and distinguished career. These communities represent the early groups of hunter-gatherers and herders and the oldest human lineages of Africa, some migrating from as far as East Africa to settle in countries like Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa.
Fully illustrated and including the latest academic research, First People is an invaluable and accessible work that reaches from the Stone Age and travels through time to the most recent history of the Khoisan. It paints a knowledgeable and fascinating portrait of their land occupation, migration, survival, culture, and practices.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue - Illustrated edition
"For someone damned to be forgettable, Addie LaRue is a most delightfully unforgettable character, and her story is the most joyous evocation of unlikely immortality." -Neil Gaiman
A beautiful illustrated edition of this genre-defying tour de force, featuring new artwork selected by V.E. Schwab, illustrated plate section, printed endpapers and exclusive jacket.
When Addie La Rue makes a pact with the devil, she trades her soul for immortality. But there's always a price - the devil takes away her place in the world, cursing her to be forgotten by everyone.
Addie flees her tiny home town in 18th-Century France, beginning a journey that takes her across the world, learning to live a life where no one remembers her and everything she owns is lost and broken. Existing only as a muse for artists throughout history, she learns to fall in love anew every single day.
Her only companion on this journey is her dark devil with hypnotic green eyes, who visits her each year on the anniversary of their deal. Alone in the world, Addie has no choice but to confront him, to understand him, maybe to beat him.
Until one day, in a second hand bookshop in Manhattan, Addie meets someone who remembers her. Suddenly thrust back into a real, normal life, Addie realises she can't escape her fate forever.
First – Első
A nagymamám szerint az első férfit sohasem töröljük ki a szívünkből. Hogy ez mennyire giccsesen hangzik... De mi van akkor, ha nekem egyáltalán nem is okozott gondot, hogy kitöröljem? Kérdeztem én. Erre ő azt válaszolta, hogy...Akkor nem is voltál igazán szerelmes... Erre akkor jöttem rá, amikor az az önelégült, részeg barom meg nem hallotta amint a nemi szervekről, a dugásról meg hasonló pajzán dolgokról beszélek... Milyen igaza volt a nagyinak. Ezután már mindent máshogy láttam...

Delphi Complete Works of Parthenius (Illustrated)
The tutor of the epic poet Virgil, Parthenius of Nicaea was a Greek grammarian and poet that flourished in the first century AD. Regarded as the last of the Alexandrians, Parthenius was a writer of elegies and short epic poems. His sole surviving work, ‘Love Romances’, is a collection of thirty-six epitomes of mythological love stories, all of which have tragic or sentimental endings. The tales are valuable in providing information on Alexandrian poets and grammarians whose works are now lost. The ‘Love Romances’ would play an important part in the development of the love story – especially the tragic love story – in the course of Western literature. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts.

Delphi Complete Works of Joel Chandler Harris (Illustrated)
The American author and creator of the folk character Uncle Remus, Joel Chandler Harris produced a wide body of works, reflecting his life and interests in the Deep South. As a young journalist, he established a reputation as a brilliant humorist and writer of dialect. His Uncle Remus stories secured for Harris a place in American literature. The format was an instant success — a wise and genial old black man, Uncle Remus narrates tales of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and other animals to the son of a plantation owner, while interweaving his philosophy of the world about him. Harris’ later novels reveal his ability as a writer of ‘local color’, exploring important issues facing the South after its Reconstruction.

The Dictionary of Lost Words
'An enchanting story about love, loss and the power of language' Elizabeth Macneal, author of The Doll Factory
Sometimes you have to start with what's lost to truly find yourself...
Motherless and irrepressibly curious, Esme spends her childhood at her father's feet as he and his team gather words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary.
One day, she sees a slip of paper containing a forgotten word flutter to the floor unclaimed.
And so Esme begins to collect words for another dictionary in secret: The Dictionary of Lost Words. But to do so she must journey into a world on the cusp of change as the Great War looms and women fight for the vote. Can the power of lost words from the past finally help her make sense of her future?
The Liars Dictionary
Swansby's New Encyclopaedic Dictionary is riddled with fictitious entries known as mountweazels penned by Peter Winceworth, a man wishing to make his lasting mark back in 1899. It's up to young intern Mallory to uncover these mountweazels before the dictionary can be digitised for modern readers.
Lost in Winceworth's imagination - a world full of meaningless words - will Mallory finally discover the secret to living a meaningful life?
'Deft and clever, refreshing and rewarding ... An assured and satisfying writer, her language rich and intricate and her characters rounded enough to be sympathetic and lampoonist enough to be terribly funny.' LITERARY REVIEW
'[The] most exciting of young British writers ... Williams luxuriates in words and wordplay, in definition and precision and invention ...The Liar's Dictionary is a public joy, and Eley Williams a free-spirited literary kook with bags of potential.' BIG ISSUE
'A singular, hilarious, word-drunk novel, which I suspect will be seen in the future as a classic comic novel.' DAVID HAYDEN, IRISH TIMES
Treasure Island (Illustrated)
An old sailor named Billy Bones comes to lodge in the rural Admiral Benbow Inn on the West English coast. A former shipmate, Black Dog, confronts Bones and engages in a violent fight with him. After Black Dog is run off, a blind beggar named Pew visits to give Bones "the black spot" as a summons to share a map leading to buried treasure. Shortly thereafter, Bones suffers a stroke and dies. Pew and his accomplices attack the inn, but Jim and his mother save themselves while taking Bones's sea chest. Inside the chest, they find a map of an island on which the infamous pirate Captain Flint hid his treasure. Jim shows the map to the local physician Dr. Livesey and the district squire John Trelawney, and they decide to make an expedition to the island, with Jim serving as a cabin boy. They set sail on Trelawney's schooner, the Hispaniola, under Captain Smollett. Much of the crew, as it is later revealed, are pirates who served under Captain Flint, most notable of which is the ship's one-legged chef "Long John" Silver.

Die Schatzinsel (Illustrated)
Im ländlichen englischen Gasthaus „Admiral Benbow“ in der Nähe von Bristol quartiert sich ein alter Seemann ein, William „Bill“ Bones. Jim Hawkins, der Ich-Erzähler des Romans und Sohn des Gastwirtspaares, hält für den trunksüchtigen Bones Ausschau nach einem Einbeinigen, den dieser offenbar fürchtet. Als Bones eines Nachts von einem Seemann, Der Schwarze Hund genannt, aufgesucht wird, kommt es zu einem fürchterlichen Streit zwischen den beiden. Nachdem der Schwarze Hund geflohen ist, erscheint der blinde Bettler Pew bei Bones und überreicht ihm ein Papier mit einem „schwarzen Fleck“, der seine Absetzung bedeutet. Kurz darauf bricht Bones nach einem Schlaganfall tot zusammen. Noch in derselben Nacht überfällt Pew mit seinen Spießgesellen das Gasthaus. Jim kann sich mit seiner Mutter im letzten Moment retten, nicht ohne zuvor heimlich ein Päckchen aus der Seemannskiste von Bones an sich genommen zu haben. Darin befindet sich die Karte einer Insel, auf der sich der Schatz des berüchtigten Piraten Captain Flint befinden soll. Jim Hawkins zeigt die Karte seinem väterlichen Freund, dem Arzt Doktor Livesey, und dem Gutsherrn und Friedensrichter John Trelawney, die daraufhin beschließen, eine Expedition zu jener Insel zu unternehmen. Jim soll als Schiffsjunge ebenfalls mitreisen. Als Expeditionsschiff dient die Hispaniola unter Kapitän Smollett. Später stellt sich heraus, dass man, ohne es zu ahnen, auch einige Mitglieder von Captain Flints ehemaliger Piraten-Crew mit angeheuert hat, allen voran den einbeinigen Schiffskoch Long John Silver.
