Bandit Love
In "Bandit Love" there is the same sultry throb and barbaric drive that characterize all her work. Here is the love story of a beautiful Irish girl who rode horses like an Arizona cowboy, whose hair was red as flame, and whose lover was an English gentleman. But then, there was the Spaniard, too! Hot-headed, he was, passionate and lawless as a Tartar. Needless to say the story takes some startling turns. The end is surprising. And the satisfying conclusion it all comes to is this, that the eternal feminine still responds to courage in the male.

The Revolt of Man
The Revolt of Man was written during a certain summer holiday; day by day chapter by chapter, was read out, as it was finished, to two ladies. It is needless to say that their comments on the progress of events were often most valuable. Above all I may now acknowledge their advice as to the conclusion of the story. At first it ended in a real battle. ‘Let the Revolt of Man be bloodless,’ said my advisers. It is bloodless. The advice was excellent, and I followed it; and now, after fourteen years, I take this opportunity of thanking them.

Language and Liberty
„Language: now, as always, it all started with language. The expropritation, the agressive seizure of language has swept us frighteningly far from reality. The crisis could not be more serious. Anyone trying to break free from the strangehold of half-truths and contrived thought experiments risks nothing less than expulsion from the „paradise” of lies. True, in a few decades from now – or a few centuries – such people could become icons; but the prisoners of the putrefying present are doing their utmost to mercilessly annihilate them here and now. With this volume Mária Schmidt is again taking a risk. According to her ironic profession of faith, however, she has no choice: what is at stake is liberty.”

The Story of the Country House: A History of Places and People
The fascinating story of the evolution of the country house in Britain, from its Roman precursors to the present
The Story of the Country House is an authoritative and vivid account of the British country house, exploring how they have evolved with the changing political and economic landscape. Clive Aslet reveals the captivating stories behind individual houses, their architects, and occupants, and paints a vivid picture of the wider context in which the country house in Britain flourished and subsequently fell into decline before enjoying a renaissance in the twenty-first century. The genesis, style, and purpose of architectural masterpieces such as Hardwick Hall, Hatfield House, and Chatsworth are explored, alongside the numerous country houses lost to war and economic decline. We also meet a cavalcade of characters, owners with all their dynastic obsessions and diverse sources of wealth, and architects such as Inigo Jones, Sir John Vanbrugh, Robert Adam, Sir John Soane and A.W.N. Pugin, who dazzled or in some cases outraged their contemporaries. The Story of the Country House takes a fresh look at this enduringly popular building type, exploring why it continues to hold such fascination for us today.
Starry Messenger
Bringing his cosmic perspective to civilization on Earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson, bestselling author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, shines new light on the crucial fault lines of our time-war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, race, and tribalism-in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for us all.
In a time when our political and cultural perspectives feel more divisive than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin engines of enlightenment-a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science.
After thinking deeply about how a scientist views the world and about what Earth looks like from space, Tyson has found that terrestrial thoughts change as our brain resets and recalibrates life's priorities, along with the actions we might take in response. As a result, no outlook on culture, society, or civilisation remains untouched.
In Starry Messenger, Tyson reveals just how human the enterprise of science is. Far from a cold, unfeeling undertaking, scientific methods, tools, and discoveries have shaped modern civilisation and created the landscape we've built for ourselves on which to live, work, and play. Tyson shows how an infusion of science and rational thinking renders worldviews deeper and more informed than ever before-and exposes unfounded perspectives and unjustified emotions.
With crystalline prose and an abundance of evidence, Starry Messenger walks us through the scientific palette that sees and paints the world differently. From lessons on resolving global conflict to reminders of how precious it is to be alive, Tyson reveals, with warmth and eloquence, ten surprising, brilliant, and beautiful truths of human society, informed and enlightened by knowledge of our place in the universe.
The Half Known Life
One of our most perceptive travel writers embarks on an exploration of the world's holiest places and where we might find paradise on Earth.
It's so easy, I thought, to place Paradise in the past or the future – anywhere but here.
After half a century of travel, from Ethiopia to Tibet, from Belfast to Jerusalem, Pico Iyer asks himself what kind of paradise can ever be found in a world of unceasing conflict. In a spectacular journey, both inward and outward, Iyer roams from crowded mosques in Iran to a film studio in North Korea, from a holy mountain in Japan to the sometimes spooky emptiness of the Australian outback.
At every stop, he makes connections with unexpected strangers – mystics and taxi drivers and fellow travellers – and draws on his own memories, of time spent in a Benedictine monastery high above the Pacific, of regular travels with the Dalai Lama, of hearing his late mother speak of sunlit moments in pre-Partition India.
By the end, he has upended many of our expectations and dared to suggest that we can find paradise right in the heart of our angry, confused and divided world.

The Great Plant-Based Con
Plant-based is best for health, go vegan to help save the planet, eat less meat... Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and dairy - or eliminate them from our diets altogether.
But what if the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve our health and save the planet is misleading - or even false? What if removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health, and a red herring in the fight against climate change.
In THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON, Jayne Buxton demonstrates that each of these 'what-ifs' is, in fact, a reality. Drawing on the work of numerous health experts and researchers, she uncovers how the separate efforts of a constellation of individuals, companies and organisations are leading us down a dietary road that will have severe repercussions for our health and wellbeing, and for the future of the planet.
THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON is neither anti-plant nor anti-vegan - it is a call for us to take an honest look at the facts about human diets and their effect on the environment. Shocking and eye-opening, this book outlines everything you need to know to make more informed decisions about the food you choose to eat.
Lacná kniha Music Love Drugs War (-90%)
'A clever multiple-narrative account of teenage kicks and sectarian strife in early 80s Northern Ireland . . . this debut marks out Quigley as a writer of compassion and humour' Guardian
The end of the school year is approaching, and siblings Paddy and Liz McLaughlin, Christy Meehan, Kevin Thompson and their friends will soon have to decide what they're going to do with the rest of their lives. But it's hard to focus when there's the allure of their favourite hangout place, the dingy 'Cave', where they go to drink and flirt and smoke. Most days, Christy, Paddy and Kevin lie around listening to Dexys and Joy Division. Through a fog of marijuana, beer and budding romance, the future is distant and unreal.
But this is Derry in 1981, and they can't ignore the turmoil of the outside world. A friend is killed, and Christy and Paddy, stunned out of their stupor, take matters into their own hands. Some choices are irreversible, and choosing to fight will take hold of their lives in ways they never imagined.

Jethro Tull - Bursting Out (The Inflated Edition) 3CD+3DVD
Jethro Tull je britská rocková skupina založená v roku 1967, reprezentuje folk-rock, progresívny rock a hard rock. Názov skupiny je odvodený od mena a priezviska anglického agronóma žijúceho na prelome 17. a 18. storočia. Zloženie skupiny sa počas rokov menilo, ale pilierom, ktorý určoval jej umeleckú podobu, zostával celý čas extravagantný líder flautista Ian Anderson, ktorý ovládal niekoľko nástrojov na čele s priečnou flautou, ale ajgajdy, mandolínu a gitaru. Ian si obliekal šašovské farebné kostýmy, štylizoval sa do úlohy starca, krepčil na pódiu na jednej nohe a svojou originálnou inšpiráciou stredovekým folklórom získal rešpekt odborníkov. Pre skupinu je typická rytmická hra na bicie, basovú gitaru, gitary,klávesové nástroje, sporadicky hrané melodické riffy, spojené s vybrujúcim zvukom flauty a charakteristickým spevom Iana Andersona. Texty piesní sú veľmi poetické, často ironické a provokujúce.

Hatékonyságnövelés stresszmentesen - GTD
Valóban stresszmentesen növelhetjük hatékonyságunkat, ha megtanuljuk tudatosan kisöpörni elménkből a figyelemelterelő tényezőket? A munkában és a magánéletben nem az időhiány az igazi probléma, bármennyire ezt gondoljuk is, hanem sokkal inkább az, hogy nem látjuk tisztán és nem határozzuk meg pontosan a feladatot és a szükséges lépéseket. Emiatt élünk állandó stresszben (még ha nem is valljuk be magunknak), és már el sem tudjuk képzelni, hogy másként is lehetne. A GTD®(Getting Things Done)-módszer abban segít, hogy ne csak az idővel gazdálkodjunk, hanem a gondolataink között is rendet tegyünk. David Allen könyvének, amely a Time szerint „az évtized legjobb önsegítő műve”, átdolgozott és bővített kiadása számos technikát kínál elménk tehermentesítéséhez, hogy növelni tudjuk hatékonyságunkat és oldjuk belső feszültségeinket. DAVID ALLEN vezetési tanácsadó és tapasztalt coach, a GTD-módszer atyja, a személyes hatékonyság témájának egyik legbefolyásosabb kutatója. Több multinacionális cégnél és nemzetközi szervezetnél dolgozott már tanácsadóként. Évente több ezer vállalatvezetőnek és magánembernek tart szemináriumokat és tréningeket. Cikkei sorra jelennek meg a Fast Company, a Fortune, a Los Angeles Times, a The New York Times, a The Wall Street Journal hasábjain. Könyve eddig 30 országban több mint 2 millió példányban jelent meg. Jelenleg Amszterdamban él. „Már egy tucat embernek javasoltam a Preziben, hogy alakítsa ki a saját GTD-rendszerét. Aki megteszi, produktívabb, sikeresebb ember lehet. Ez egyszerű, mint a GTD. Halácsy Péter, a Prezi társalapítója, technológiai igazgatója „A GTD az információs kor vallása, amely kétségtelenül megváltoztatja az emberek munkastílusát és életmódját.” Wired „Az egész megközelítés nemcsak a hatékonyságomat fokozta, de a közérzetemen is javított. Elképesztő, mennyire megvetette a lábát ez a módszer szerte a világon. Olyan, mint egy igazi mozgalom!” Daniel H. Pink, a Motiváció 3.0 című könyv szerzője

Falling For The Groom
Take one unhappy groom about to make the worst decision ever and marry a cheating bridezilla carrying another man's baby, add one wedding planner slash ex-lover caught in the middle and Sierra has found herself in a disaster waiting to happen.
Sierra should never have taken up the job, but she couldn't say no, not with him looking at her like that.
When she finds out the truth, she goes to confront him and tell him to call the wedding off, but left alone for the first time, they lose themselves to their lust and desire. She's tied with ropes and whipped into submission, blindfolded and left for others to share, brought to such pleasures as she has never known before and honestly, this isn’t the kind of disaster that she had prepared herself for.
~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~
"Did you know he bites during sex? Have your lovers ever bitten you during sex before?" The woman blinks up innocently at Sierra through the mirror, but doesn't pause long enough for her to come up with an answer to the inappropriate question because she doesn't actually care. It's merely a dramatic pause so Sierra could act all surprised and ask for details, but Sierra doesn't actually care about details.
Sierra wonders briefly if she could get paid for listening to the things that come out of her mouth. She could be one of those Anonymous Sources that appear in tabloid news articles.
"Has he ever bitten you during sex?" she asks and Sierra lets that silence drag on until it becomes uncomfortable and she clears her throat before continuing like she hasn't asked the question at all. "Of course not," she dismisses the thought easily. "I suppose he only does it with me because we're engaged."
She rubs the ring she's wearing and chews her lip like she's still considering the engagement and thinking of changing her mind or something.
"It's rather horrible," she sighs, closing her eyes as Sierra twists her ponytail into a french braid, fingers trembling slightly from having to resist the urge to yank her hair. "The other day he wanted to tie me up. Can you believe it? It's so gross. I bet he never tried anything like that to his previous girlfriends."
Sierra does the breathing exercise she's learned a few weeks ago when she started dealing with Jen.
"I swear, he worships the ground I walk on. I mean-"
She can't do this anymore. "Please keep your eyes and mouth close? I need to set your hair." She shakes the can several times and musters a smile for Jen, who seems crestfallen that Sierra isn't so affected by what she's saying. The sound of hairspray drowns out anything else she intends to say. She has to stop herself from using the spray forever just so that she didn't have to listen to her yap.

The stakes are high; the Gods covet entertainment and glory above all else, for the Tokens, it's about survival. 17-year-old Ara wants revenge. Revenge on the Gods for allowing her older sister to die in the Games.
She's determined to be selected as a Token and find a weapon powerful enough to kill a God. But when she's plucked from the clutches of death by Hades, God of the Underworld, the odds are stacked against her. Hades is the outcast of the Gods, and the only one who has never won the games.
But he soon realises that Ara does not fear death, just as she does not fear him, and when a wager with Zeus and Poseidon puts both their futures at stake, the games take on a new meaning. With each challenge, the games become more brutal. Can Ara put aside her rage and survive? For fans of Circe, Ariadne and The Silence of the Girls.
Perfectly plotted Greek Mythology and Astrology makes this the perfect YA for BookTok. Cover stunningly illustrated by Instagram star, Tom Roberts.
The Summer Switch-Off
Luna, Rory and Jodie are supposed to be having the time of their lives. Instead they're all completely bloody miserable.
Luna thought her first year at uni was perfect - until her relationship broke up, and she realised her old school friends might be ghosting her. She's never felt so lonely.
Rory's passion is art (and promoting it on her social media), but she wants to fit in with her sensible family, so she's signed up to study law. It sounds like the most boring thing on earth.
And as for Jodie - she's put her all into getting top marks at uni, but she can't remember the last time she had a night out - or a date. Her life is great on paper, but she's exhausted. Is this the right path for her after all?
In desperate need of an escape, the girls book themselves on a holiday that's meant to be perfect for solo travellers. But the idyllic resort of Casa Dorada is actually a digital detox retreat - which means NO PHONES! And that's not even the biggest disaster waiting for them...
Will it be a summer the girls will never forget - or one they'd rather not remember?
A sweet, funny, relatable coming-of-age story from bestselling author Beth Reekles, author of The Kissing Booth - perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary and Emily Henry.
