Lacná kniha Mount Everest
Az Északi- és a Déli-sark meghódítása után, de még mielőtt az első ember leszállt volna a Holdra, a Mount Everest meghódítása volt a felfedezők és hegymászók egyik legcsábítóbb álma. Az 1950-es évek elejéig a rettentő magasság ritkás légkörébe burkolózva a Föld utolsó nagy misztikuma csodálatos, páratlan kihívást jelentett, izgatóbbat minden más hegycsúcs megmászásánál. A Nepál és Tibet között emelkedő lenyűgöző piramis még ma is - sok évvel azután, hogy Hillary és Tenzing először jutott fel a csúcsra felgyújtja a mászók képzeletét, és ha eljön a megfelelő évszak, számtalan, mindenféle fajtájú és méretű expedíció indul rohamra a hegy lejtőin. Ez a könyv végigköveti az 1852-es indiai felmérés során a világ legmagasabb hegyeként azonosított óriás megmászásának történetét. Az Everest azóta legendává vált. Miután elfoglalta az első helyet mint a Föld legmagasabb csúcsa - 8840 méter volt az első, matematikai és trigonometrikus számításokra épülő mérés idején -, a hegyet egyszerű földrajzi furcsaságnak tekintették, egészen az 1920-as években meginduló expedíciókig. Egyedi fényképek és részletes feljegyzések szólnak e kísérletekről, és elevenítik fel azokat a próbálkozásokat, amelyek végeredményeként Edmund Hillary és Tenzing Norgaj meghódította a csúcsot a Nepál felőli oldalon, 1953. május 29-én.

Óraverzum
Óraverzum. Ősi, gigászi gépezet, fogaskerekek hajtotta, mechanikus naprendszer.
Mirkó, Seon királyának fia többnyire magányosan múlatja idejét a Fellegvár titkos folyosóin csatangolva. Egyetlen barátja a szórakozott, ám talpraesett nagynénje, Szaffi, aki szabadidejében hihetetlen masinákat bütykölget. A hétköznapok azonban izgalmasabbá válnak, amikor gőzhajók jelennek meg Seon egén. Szerte az Óraverzumból sereglenek a bolygóra, hogy megtekintsék az évszázad látványosságát, a légfelléreknek nevezett óriási lények vonulását. A betegeskedő Mirkót a felfordulás elől nagynénje egy szedett-vedett komédiás társulat rozzant hajóján a Holdra küldi, a nagyapjához csakhogy a bolygót mozgató szerkezettel valami nincs rendjén, így könnyen lehet, hogy ami izgalmas kalandnak indult, lidércnyomássá változhat.
Lakatos István, Az Év Gyermekkönyve díjat nyert Dobozváros szerzője ezúttal is bebizonyítja, hogy fantáziája kimeríthetetlen. Második regénye egyaránt szól gyerekhez és felnőtthöz, mesél családról, kiüresedett emberi kapcsolatokról, eltemetett titkokról mindezt sziporkázó humorral és sok-sok kalanddal.

The Consequences of Love
Under the hot sun, the Jeddah streets make a scene from an old black-and-white movie: the women dressed like long, dark shadows and the men in their light cotton tunics. Naser's friends have all left town for cooler climes but he can't get away: he's an outsider in Saudi and he needs to hold down his job at the local carwash. During his time off, he sits beneath his favourite palm tree, writing to the mother he has left behind in Africa and yearning for the glamorous Egyptian actress he hopes to meet one day. It's hard to adjust to a world that puts up so many barriers between men and women: walls in the mosque, divider panels in the buses and veils on the street.Naser feels increasingly trapped, not least by the religious police who keep watch through the shaded windows of their government jeeps. A splash of colour arrives in Naser's world when, unexpectedly, a small piece of paper is dropped at his feet. It is a love note, from a woman whose face he has never seen and whose voice he has never heard. She tells him that she will wear a pair of pink shoes the next time she passes so that he can pick her out from the other women in their identical black abayas. Erotic tension runs high, Naser and his 'habibati' begin to exchange letters. But in moments of doubt the pink shoes seem to lead him into a cul-de-sac of thwarted desire, fraught with danger. Relationships between unmarried men and women are illegal under the strict Wahhibism of Saudi state rule - and it's not long before their real, but illicit, love must face the hardest test of all...
Scrapbook - fotoalba a dárky
První podrobná kniha na českém trhu o scrapbooku, který si u nás získává stále větší popularitu. Co je to Scrapbook? To je v prvé řadě spousta času stráveného nad fotkami, papíry, ozdobami, památkami z výletů a opět fotkami. Výsledkem jsou pak jedine
čná fotoalba, která se vždy stávají předmětem nadšeného obdivu všude, kde je ukážete. Je to možnost, jak si vlastníma rukama poskládat rodinná alba i se všemi vzpomínkami a rodinnými historkami, které chcete zachovat. Takovéto cestovní deníky a alba
z dovolené odrážejí náladu blízkých či dalekých krajů nejen fotkami, ale i laděním a zdobením stránek.
Scrapbook vám také dává dobré důvody procházet si staré fotografie a vzpomínky a častěji se vracet i k těm již zpracovaným. Scrapbookové fotoalbum totiž obsahuje vzpomínky dvoje - nejen na samotné snímky a popisované události, ale i na proces tvoření
- jak vám u téhle stránky děti málem lezly po hlavě a tam na té máte papírem zakryté flíčky od drobků chleba, když se manžel přišel podívat, na čem právě pracujete. Scrapbook je také dobrý pocit, že tvoříte něco, co zůstává. Mezi denními starostmi,
prací, úklidem apod. je úžasné odreagování tvořit něco trvalejšího, než je nedělní oběd. V neposlední řadě scrapbook přináší i možnost poznat nové a stejně postižené lidi, povídat si s nimi, probrat a obdivovat jejich i vaše stránky, účastnit se so
utěží, jezdit na srazy, bavit se. Hlavní ale vždy zůstávají fotky a tvorba fotoalb.
Pro praktickou představu to funguje nějak takhle: vyberete si pár fotografií k určitému tématu, rozložíte je na čtvrtku papíru, doplníte dalšími vzorovanými papíry, na kartičku napíšete datum a popisek k fotografiím, vymyslíte a z písmen vytvoříte vý
razný nadpis, doladíte vhodnými ozdobami a celé slepíte a zařadíte do alba.
Se scrapbookovým materiálem nemusíte tvořit jen fotoalba, ale i originální ručně dělaná přáníčka, která jsou mnohem hezčí a osobnější než kupovaná. Také obrázky, diplomy, kalendáře, rámečky na fotografie, krabičky a jiné zdobené předměty - takovéto d
okonalé dárky ke všem příležitostem značně zvýší vaši popularitu v rámci rodiny.
Baví vás tvořit? Pojďte spolu s knihou objevovat kouzlo originálních fotoalb, přáníček a dalších dárků z papíru zvané scrapbook. Není to tak složité, jak se na první pohled zdá. V této knize najdete mnoho rad a zkušeností autorek pro nákupy, uskladně
ní materiálu i samotnou tvorbu a také velký výkladový slovník pojmů. S postupy krok za krokem snadno zvládnete své první stránky a pro ty další se můžete inspirovat v ukázkové galerii. Dozvíte se tu vše, co budete pro své scrapbookové začátky potře
bovat.

Marilyn Manson By Perou: 21 Years in Hell
Marilyn Manson behind the scenes and onstage, in classic and previously unpublished images by his foremost portraitist
"I often get asked, 'Who was your favorite person to photograph?' or 'Who is the best person you've photographed?'" says photographer Perou. "It's always 'Marilyn Manson.' Which is just as well, considering how many times I've photographed him." Perou has been photographing Marilyn Manson since a 1998 magazine cover shoot. Twenty-one years of collaborating have resulted in this unique book, featuring over 350 photographs including previously unpublished work, conceptual portraits, onstage and informal behind-the-scenes images, giving a rare insight into Manson's world. The accompanying text is formed from conversations between the two, discussing the work and their friendship--funny, honest and at times a raw reflection on their individual histories and collaboration. Manson comments, "I just remember the first time you showed up you had more rings than me. You look still, and did at the time, like you were going to be in that movie Romper Stomper: bomber jacket, high laced boots, fully British, barely understandable." Manson later reflects, "I became automatically comfortable around you and that's the most important part." This rapport and mutual respect for each other's artistry is evident in the work. Of his favourite subject, Perou muses, "Probably all music photographers wanted to be in a band ... I've always enjoyed dressing up and used to enjoy being the center of attention. Sometimes that's been a problem, when you turn up looking cooler than the 'talent, ' but I never turned up looking cooler than Marilyn Manson, ever." British photographer Perou (born 1970) is one of the world's leading portrait photographers. He has worked with many famous bands, artists and personalities, such as Al Gore, Gillian Anderson, David Attenborough, Led Zeppelin, Coldplay, Damien Hirst, David Beckham, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, the Spice Girls, Tracey Emin and U2.

The Values Compass
The Values Compass takes us into the hearts, minds, and traditions of the cultures and people of the world. It demonstrates how interconnected we are and how the divisions that exist between us stem from narrow self-interest rather than concern for the good of our human family. I hope that the book will contribute to making our world a happier place.'
The Dalai Lama
'The Values Compass is a fresh, engaging and eye-opening guide to understanding ourselves and others in the most profound and practical ways.'
Deepak Chopra
Every day, whether we acknowledge it or not, we make decisions based on what we believe in. The choices, challenges, or opportunities facing us - and how we engage with them - in politics, family, relationships, work, and play reveal something important about our character, desires, and personality to ourselves and to others. When those values align and are shared by a single population, they have the power to transform a nation and teach the world valuable lessons about success.
In The Values Compass, Mandeep Rai explores this concept by taking 101 distinct countries and identifying a single key value in each that is represented throughout its history, geography, and culture in the hope that we may find a way to incorporate those values into our own lives. From India's 'faith' to Vietnam's 'resilience', Argentina's 'passion' to Singapore's 'order', Australia's 'mateship' to Uganda's 'heritage' and from Malta's 'community' to Sri Lanka's 'joy', we may all find something of ourselves in others and succeed together as a result.
This is an insightful and readable collection of profiles that open our eyes to the world around us, and in turn help us reflect on which values matter, last, and have the power to create change.

Heatwave
Oscar is dead because I watched him die and did nothing.
Leonard is an outsider, a seventeen-year-old uncomfortable in his own skin who is forced to endure a family camping holiday in the South of France. Tired of awkwardly creeping out of beach parties after only a couple of beers, he chooses to spend the final Friday night of the trip in bed. However, when he cannot sleep due to the sound of wild carousing outside his tent, he gets up and goes for a walk.
As he wanders among the dunes, he sees Oscar, one of the cooler kids, drunk in a playground, hanging by his neck from the ropes of a swing. Frozen into inaction, he watches Oscar struggle to breathe until finally his body comes loose and falls lifeless to the ground. Unable to think straight, he buries Oscar in the sand and returns to the campsite where, oppressed by the ferocious heat and the weight of what he did and did not do, he will try to spend the remaining hours of the holiday as if nothing had happened.
Told over the space of a long weekend, this intense and brilliant novel is the story of an adolescent struggling to fit in. Heatwave is a gripping psychological thriller that poses the existential question:
Is doing nothing sometimes the very worst thing you can do?

Holdpalota
Senki sem felelős a történtekért; ettől azonban nem kevésbé nehéz elfogadnom, hogy így alakultak a dolgok. A rossz időzítésen múlott az egész. Lekéstük a csatlakozást, hogy úgy mondjam, vakon tapogatóztunk a sötétben. Ott voltunk mind, ahol lennünk kellett, s mégis elkerültük egymást; pedig hajszál híja volt, hogy egy csapásra kikristályosodjon körülöttünk minden. Végső soron erről szól ez az egész történet. Az élet: elvetélt lehetőségek sora. Minden részlet együtt van kezdettől fogva, ott a kirakós játék összes darabja, csak éppen az ember nem tudja összeállítani magának a képet.
Akárcsak Paul Auster New York trilógiá-jának hősei, ennek az erősen életrajzi jellegű műnek a főhőse is homályos szimbólumok közt éli sejtelmes életét, megtapasztalja a benne lakozó űrt, ám végül kinyílik a szeme egy szabadabb, teljesebb létezésre. A történet 1969 nyarán kezdődik, amikor az ember először lépett a Holdra. A hős, Marco Stanley Fogg, akinek mindhárom neve híres utazóra utal, szintén az ismeretlen felfedezésére indul. Életútja más életekkel fonódik össze: megismerkedik egy lánnyal, aki megmenti az éhhaláltól; elszegődik egy mozgásképtelen, vak öregúrhoz, akinek eltorzult tudatán át Fogg merőben más képet kap az emberekről és a világról; megismerkedik valakivel, akiről véletlenek sorozatán át kiderül, hogy nem más, mint az apja; és gyalogszerrel átkel a sivatagon, Utah-tól a Csendes-óceánig.
Paul Auster egyedülálló jelenség a mai amerikai irodalomban; semmiféle áramlattal, divattal nem rokonítható. Hősei egyforma otthonossággal mozognak a modern nagyvárosban és a lélek kietlen tájain. Helyét az amerikai kritika a posztmodern után-ra teszi.

Women Dont Owe You Pretty
*"Florence has a way of effortlessly reminding you of who you were before the world barged in."- Chidera Eggerue, bestselling author of What a Time to be AloneWOMEN DON'T OWE YOU PRETTY will tell you to... love sex, hate sexism,protect your goddamn energy,life is short, dump them,And that you owe men nothing, least of all pretty. Florence's debut book will explore all progressive corners of the feminist conversation; from insecurity projection and refusing to find comfort in other women's flaws, to deciding whether to date or dump them, all the way through to unpacking the male gaze and how it shapes our identity.
WOMEN DON'T OWE YOU PRETTY is an accessible leap into feminism, for people at all stages of their journey who are seeking to reshape and transform the way they view themselves. In a world that tells women we're either not enough or too much, it's time we stop directing our anger and insecurities onto ourselves, and start fighting back to re-shape the toxic structures of our patriarchal society. Florence's book will help you to tackle and challenge the limiting narrative you have been bombarded with your whole life, and determine feminism on your own terms.
After all, you are the love of your own life.
In the Key of Nira Ghani
A Guyanese girl must find the balance between her parents' "old world" expectations and traditions while pursuing her dream of being a great trumpeter in this contemporary, coming-of-age story.
Nira Ghani has always dreamed of becoming a musician. Her Guyanese parents, however, have big plans for her to become a scientist or doctor. Nira's grandmother and her best friend, Emily, are the only people who seem to truly understand her desire to establish an identity outside of the one imposed on Nira by her parents. When auditions for jazz band are announced, Nira realizes it's now or never to convince her parents that she deserves a chance to pursue her passion.
As if fighting with her parents weren't bad enough, Nira finds herself navigating a new friendship dynamic when her crush, Noah, and notorious mean-girl, McKenzie "Mac," take a sudden interest in her and Emily, inserting themselves into the fold. So, too, does Nira's much cooler (and very competitive) cousin Farah. Is she trying to wiggle her way into the new group to get closer to Noah? Is McKenzie trying to steal Emily's attention away from her? As Farah and Noah grow closer and Emily begins to pull away, Nira's trusted trumpet "George" remains her constant, offering her an escape from family and school drama.
But it isn't until Nira takes a step back that she realizes she's not the only one struggling to find her place in the world. As painful truths about her family are revealed, Nira learns to accept people for who they are and to open herself in ways she never thought possible.
A relatable and timely contemporary, coming-of age story, In the Key of Nira Ghani explores the social and cultural struggles of a teen in an immigrant household.
