Birds and People
There are 10,500 species of bird worldwide and wherever they occur people marvel at their glorious colours and their beautiful songs. We also trap and consume birds of every kind. Yet birds have not just been good to eat. Their feathers, which keep us warm or adorn our costumes, give birds unique mastery over the heavens. Throughout history their flight has inspired the human imagination so that birds are embedded in our religions, folklore, music and arts. Vast in both scope and scale, Birds and People explores and celebrates this relationship and draws upon Mark Cocker's 40 years of observing and thinking about birds. Part natural history and part cultural study, it describes and maps the entire spectrum of our engagements with birds, drawing in themes of history, literature, art, cuisine, language, lore, politics and the environment. In the end, this is a book as much about us as it is about birds. Birds and People has been stunningly illustrated by one of Europe's best wildlife photographers, David Tipling, who has travelled in 39 countries on seven continents to produce a breathtaking and unique collection of photographs. The book is as important for its visual riches as it is for its groundbreaking content. Birds and People is also exceptional in that the author has solicited contributions from people worldwide. Personal anecdotes and stories have come from more than 650 individuals in 81 different countries. They range from university academics to Mongolian eagle hunters, and from Amerindian shamans to some of the most celebrated writers of our age. The sheer multitude of voices in this global chorus means that Birds and People is both a source book on why we cherish birds and a powerful testament to their importance for all humanity.

Birdy
Proslulý román, známý i ze své filmové verze, vypráví o přátelství dvou mužů, jež spojuje fascinace světem ptáků, který je pro ně symbolem volnosti a svobody. Al, potomek italských emigrantů a ostrý hoch, má vůči této zálibě zdravý odstup a nikdy neztratí kontakt s okolním světem, avšak jeho plachému, citlivému a podivínskému příteli se svět ptáků a létání stane vášní a touhou, jedinou skutečností, do které vkládá všechen svůj život. Když pak do jejich osudů vpadne válka, Al se hlásí do armády, ale Birdy před krutou skutečností uniká do svého vysněného světa. Román vyprávějí střídavě oba hlavní hrdinové, a děj tak má dvě rozdílné perspektivy. Al ve vzpomínkách na společně prožitá dobrodružství vypráví o svém příteli a snaží se dobrat podstaty jeho bytosti, zatímco Birdyho vyprávění je svědectvím o posedlosti, z níž nakonec téměř není úniku.
Flying Tips for Flightless Birds
"Witty and clever. This novel really does sparkle." Roddy Doyle
From debut author Kelly McCaughrain comes a sweet and kooky romcom for fans of R. J. Palacio's Wonder, Sarah Crossan, and Susin Nielsen's We Are All Made of Molecules.

Together they learn to walk the high-wire of teen life and juggle the demands of friends, family, first love and facing up to who they are - all served up with a dash of circus-showbiz magic.

When war is declared and the outside world intrudes, the twin scourges of religion and nationalism lead to forced marches and massacres, and the peaceful fabric of life is destroyed. Philothei, a Christian girl of legendary beauty, and Ibrahim the Goatherd who has courted her since infancy are but two of the many casualties. With the end of a community that once transcended religious differences, their great love seems destined to end in tragedy and madness..."

Drawn from all species, the band of birds is led by the hoopoe. He promises that the voyage to the mountain of Kaf, where Simorgh lives, will be perilous and many birds resist, afraid of what they might encounter. Others perish during the passage through the seven valleys: quest, love, understanding, friendship, unity, amazement, and death.Those that continue reach the mountain to learn that Simorgh the king is, in fact, each of them and all of them. In this lyrical and richly illustrated story of love, faith, and the meaning of it all, Peter SIs shows the pain, and beauty, of the human journey.

Birdy - Young Heart CD
KDO: Jasmine Lucilla Elizabeth Jennifer van den Bogaerde patřila už jako náctiletá k hvězdám hudebního nebe. Britská zpěvačka zaujala v talentové soutěži Open Mic, kterou vyhrála jako dvanáctiletá. Celosvětově se proslavila, když jí bylo patnáct. První album v roce 2011 poskládala povětšinou z předělávek indie-folkových a indie-popových písniček a uspěla se singly Skinny Love, People Help The People nebo Shelter. Vkusně vybrané skladby citlivě přearanžovala a velmi přesvědčivě interpretovala. Následoval hitparádový úspěch nebo účast na zahajovacím ceremoniálu paralympiády v Londýně. Druhou deskou Fire Within v roce 2013 dokázala, že obstojí i s vlastním repertoárem.

Mistrovské perly
Kniha obsahuje 157 vybraných komentovaných partií, z nichž většina se hrála v období 1849-1875, tedy v letech prvních mezinárodních turnajů. Všechny partie obsahují krátké poznámky, autor představuje špičkové hráče té doby, nejčastěji jsou zastoupeni Anderssen, Bird, Harrwitz, Kolisch, Loewenthal, Morphy, Paulsen, Staunton, Steinitz, von der Lasa a další. Na konci indexy hráčů a zahájení. Jedná se o český překlad knihy Chess Masterpieces, která vyšla v Londýně 1875 a dnes se řadí k šachové klasice. Překladatel a editor Antonín Čížek knihu upravil a některé věci upřesnil, a hlavně doplnil diagramy (obvykle jeden na každou partii, takže jich v knize je více než 150), které v původním vydání nejsou.
