Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing
The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.
'Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And
I should be dead.'
So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare.
Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . .
and so much more.
In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety.
Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

DRIFT, Choreographing the Future
The first and only monograph on the extraordinary work of multidisciplinary and experiential Dutch artist duo DRIFT
DRIFT was established in Amsterdam in 2007 by Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta. In their installations and interactive sculptures, environmental issues, human nature, and technology intersect in an intriguing way.
Over the course of more than a decade, DRIFT's immersive, encompassing, and often site-specific projects have been exhibited all over the world, offering a meditative and poetic experience and addressing themes such as the relationship between the individual and the collective and the impact of technology in our society. This is the first book to explore their extraordinary world in depth.
A Natural History of the Future
Over the past century, our species has made unprecedented technological innovations with which we have sought to control nature. In A Natural History of the Future, biologist Rob Dunn argues that such efforts are futile. We may see ourselves as life's overlords, but we are instead at its mercy. In the evolution of antibiotic resistance, the power of natural selection to create biodiversity, and even the surprising life of the London Underground, Dunn finds laws of life that no human activity can annul. When we create artificial islands of crops, dump toxic waste, or build communities, we provide new materials for old laws to shape. Life's future flourishing is not in question. Ours is.
A Natural History of the Future sets a new standard for understanding the diversity and destiny of life itself.
Bulgaria and Hungary in the First World War: A view from the 21st Century
This volume contains essays on the diplomatic and military relations between Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria in the First World War including their alliance politics towards other states and their aspirations on the Balkan Peninsula. The volume grew out of the presentations at the 2015 conference of the Bulgarian-Hungarian History Commission held in Sofia; a large portion of these studies represent attempts to transcend the politics of national grievance and self-victimization, and to avoid the canonization of national myths or the deflection of responsibility. At the same time, authors of the studies try to emphasize the alternatives the politicians of the period could have chosen, and how and why certain figures might bear responsibility for particular outcomes.

Nightwish - Once (Clear/Silver/Purple Splatter) 2LP
"Nightwish" je fínska symfonická metalová skupina z Kitee. Kapelu založili v roku 1996 hlavný skladateľ a klávesák Tuomas Holopainen, gitarista Emppu Vuorinen a bývalá vedúca speváčka Tarja Turunen. Po vydaní debutového albumu Angels Fall First (1997) skupina čoskoro prijala bubeníka Jukku Nevalainena a basgitaristu Samiho Vänskäho. V roku 2001 Vänskäa nahradil Marko Hietala, ktorý prevzal aj mužskú vokalistickú rolu, ktorú predtým plnili Holopainen alebo hosťujúci speváci. Nightwish je treťou najpredávanejšou skupinou a hudobným subjektom vo Fínsku s certifikovaným predajom takmer 900 000 certifikovaných kópií. Skupina je tiež celosvetovo najúspešnejšou fínskou skupinou, predala viac ako 10 miliónov nahrávok a získala viac ako 60 zlatých a platinových ocenení, pričom vydala šesť albumov číslo 1 a trinásť singlov číslo 1. 26. októbra 2018 bola Nightwish uvedená do fínskej hudobnej siene slávy a stala sa 11. členom čestnej galérie.
"Once" je piaty štúdiový album, ktorý vydali 7. júna 2004 Spinefarm Records vo Fínsku a Nuclear Blast vo zvyšku Európy. Je to piaty a posledný album, na ktorom sa vokály podieľajú Tarja Turunen. Výroba albumu stála takmer 250 000 EUR, čo z neho urobilo najdrahšiu nahrávku vo Fínsku až do vydania ďalšieho albumu Nightwish Dark Passion Play, ktorého produkcia stála viac ako 500 000 EUR. V roku 2013 sa z Once predalo 2,3 milióna kópií po celom svete, čím sa stal doteraz najúspešnejším albumom Nightwish. Remastering albumu bol vydaný 6. augusta 2021.

FUTURE OF GEOGRAPHY
Space: the biggest geopolitical story of the coming century - new from the multi-million-copy international bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography
Spy satellites orbiting the moon. Space metals worth more than most countries' GDP. People on Mars within the next ten years.
This isn't science fiction. It's astropolitics.
Humans are heading up and out, and we're taking our power struggles with us. Soon, what happens in space will shape human history as much the mountains, rivers and seas have on Earth. It's no coincidence that Russia, China and the USA are leading the way. The next fifty years will change the face of global politics. In this gripping book, bestselling author Tim Marshall lays bare the new geopolitical realities to show how we got here and where we're going, covering the new space race; great-power rivalry; technology; economics; war; and what it means for all of us down here on Earth. Written with all the insight and wit that have made Marshall the UK's most popular writer on geopolitics, this is the essential read on power, politics and the future of humanity.
