One hundred and fifty years before Starlight Beacon shone its light into the Outer Rim, the galaxy was filled with new threats and nameless unknowns. The distant planet Banchii is still unexplored when the young Wookiee Jedi Arkoff journeys to Dalna to aid his fellow Jedi in the fight against the secretive faction the Path of the Open Hand.
Along with his former Master Ravna and her droid ZZ, Arkoff joins the fight at the Battle of Dalna, and during the struggle a terrifying threat emerges. Arkoff’s longtime friend, Jedi Knight Azlin Rell, falls victim to an unseen force whose effect on the Jedi is unlike anything previously encountered. Will Arkoff’s past come back to haunt him, or will it be the key to tilting the balance in their fight against the Nihil over a century later?

Greenhouses
Botanical gardens represent people's centuries-old fascination with exotic plants. Werner Pawlok has photographically explored special tropical greenhouses within Europe and shows us here his most beautiful pictures in his usual colourfully expressive manner - from the Palm House in the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen, to Kew Gardens in London, and the Great Palm House at Schoenbrunn. The scent of the warm earth and the breath of the plants can almost be felt when looking at the large-format and colourful pictures.
Fascinating interplays of colour allow the filigree architecture of famous master builders and the impressive plants to shine in a special light. Pawlok, self-taught and intuitive photographer, captures these magical places in a fascinating way. Each photo is a work of art in itself.
Interesting texts about the cultural history of greenhouses, from the simple wooden construction to the efficient glass dome, accompany this extraordinary photo book. Let yourself be inspired by Pawlok's high-end photographs and embark on a nostalgic journey.
As Pawlok himself puts it: "Being allowed to enter these wonderful glass palaces and explore their green-scented, tropical interiors with my camera felt like an expedition into the heart of the 19th century."

Rákóczi harangja, Hunyadi kardja
Száll az ének szájról szájra..." A magyar nép mondakincse a honfoglalás óta száll apáról fiúra. Generációk adják át egymásnak a legendás történeteket, s a dicső vagy éppen szívszorító múlt megidézése tíz évszázad ezernyi viharát eleveníti fel fiak és unokák szívében ma is. A szájról szájra szálló mondák talán akkor váltak igazán széppé, amikor legnagyobb íróink tollat vettek a kezükbe, s az ősi regék rügyező ágát virágzó fává változtatták egy-egy elbeszélésükben. Jókai Mór, Mikszáth Kálmán, Móra Ferenc, Krúdy Gyula, Benedek Elek... Hazaszeretettől lángoló soraik a honfoglalástól az 1848-49-es szabadságharcig követik nyomon hazánk történelmének legnagyobb pillanatait. A válogatás ugyan fiataloknak készült, mégis, azon könyvek közé tartozik, melyeket éjszaka, titkon a felnőttek is kézbe vesznek, hogy lopva felidézzék gyermekkorukat, amikor még ők hallgatták csillogó szemmel nagyszüleik ölében Árpád fejedelem, Mátyás király, Szondi György vagy a kuruc hősök mondáit, s álmukban ők emelték magasba Botond vitéz buzogányát, Toldi Miklós kardját vagy a Rákóczi-szabadságharc arannyal hímzett zászlaját.

Wake
Women warriors planned and led slave revolts on slave ships during the passage across the Atlantic. They fought their enslavers throughout the Americas. And then they were erased from history.
In Wake Rebecca Hall, a historian, a granddaughter of slaves, and a woman haunted by the legacy of slavery, tells their story. With in-depth archival research and a measured use of historical imagination, she constructs the likely pasts of women rebels who fought for freedom on slave ships bound to America, as well as the stories of women who led slave revolts in Colonial New York. Beneath both is Hall's own tale: of a life lived in the shadow of slavery and its consequences.
Strikingly illustrated in black and white, Wake explores both a personal and a global legacy. Part graphic novel, part memoir, it is a powerful reminder that while the past is gone, we still live in its wake.

Anime Through the Looking Glass
The magic and mastery of anime springs to life in this gorgeous celebration of the genre that features more than 150 full-color frames.
ANIME GOES TO WAR: A powerful narrative engine, such as Kaneda’s red motorcycle in Katsuhiro Ôtomo’s Akira, war is thebeating heart of anime, its shadow hovering over various genres.
HUMAN, ALL TOO HUMAN?: Man versus machine. Exploring new dialectics of body and mind through films like Rintaro’s Galaxy Express 999 andMamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: On the other side of the mirror, we discover wonderful worlds in dreamlike colors populated with protective spirits, fantastic creatures and humans that save the world like the messianic girl in Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaä to the Space Pirate Captain Harlock
LIFE NOW: Exhibiting the metamorphosis of society and lifestyles, with scenes from family life to the schoolyard to the company, anime also sketches the human tragic-comedy with great acuity like Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name.
This uniquely powerful form of artistic expression has embraced complex and provocative ideas since its inception in the mid twentieth century.
This dynamic and wide-ranging book explores eighty key themes of the genre, from wars to natural disasters, nature to ecology, childhood to magic, dystopias to fables. It looks at more than one hundred masterpieces of Japanese animation, including Akira, Ghost in the Shell, One Piece, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies and Howl’s Moving Castle, to show how practitioners consistently balance tradition with modernity and how anime’s distinct style has influenced other forms of media such as video games, comic books and live-action films.
Covering an enormous range of talent—from Isao Takahata, Katsuhiro Ôtomo, and Makoto Shinkai to Studio Ghibli and Mamoru Oshii—it demonstrates how anime makes room for limitless creativity. Unfettered by the physical constraints of nature’s laws, these artists realize our deepest emotions and our wildest dreams.

Hupota hihetetlen kalandjai erdőn-mezőn
"Üres volt már néhány megszokott hely, amikor hangos köszönéssel egyre közelebb és közelebb jött valaki. Ki tudja a reggeli munkaértekezlet vagy valami más teendő foglalta le az összes munkást, de pillanatnyilag a csarnok visszhangzott az érkező köszönésétől. -Jó napot! - Jó reggelt! - Halló, van itt valaki? - Kérem, válaszoljon! Talán megelégelte saját hangját, mert csendben folytatta felderítő útját. Sorra elhaladt a bent maradt traktorok közt. Továbbra sem tartóztatta fel senki és semmi a nézelődésben. Akadálytalan útja során mindent megnézett, így jutott el kistraktorhoz, aki mi tagadás, öregesen szunyókált. Éppen ezért fogalma sem volt a látogatóról. Szeretetteljes érintés az egyik sárhányón, egy másik a lámpáján, ismerősnek vélt lapogatás a kormányán. -Most már aztán megnézem magamnak ki az, aki ilyen korai órán engem kényeztet - gondolta kistraktor. Így is tett, óvatosan kipislogott, aztán már ragyogott az arca, sutba dobta minden megfontoltságát. Géplelke újra élt!"

Very Bad People
"Part true crime tale, part investigative procedural, this is the account of the brilliant and necessary superheroes of Global Witness, whose superpower is the truth." - Edward Zwick, Director of Blood Diamond
Arms trafficking, offshore accounts and luxury property deals. Super-yachts, private jets and super-car collections. Blood diamonds, suspect oil deals, deforestation and murder. This is the world of Global Witness, the award-winning organisation dedicated to rooting out worldwide corruption. And this is co-founder Patrick Alley's revealing inside track on a breath-taking catalogue of modern super-crimes - and the 'shadow network' that enables them.
VERY BAD PEOPLE is about following the money, going undercover in the world's most dangerous places, and bringing down the people behind the crimes. Case by case we see maverick investigators pitched against warlords, grifters and super-villains who bear every resemblance to The Night Manager's Richard Roper. One dictator's son spent $700 million in just four years on his luxury lifestyle.
As they unravel crooked deals of labyrinthine complexity, the team encounter well-known corporations whose operations are no less criminal than the Mafia. This network of lawyers, bankers and real estate agents help park dirty money in London, New York, or in offshore accounts, safe from prying eyes.
Patrick Alley's book is a brilliant, authoritative and fearless investigation into the darkest workings of our world - and an inspiration to all of us who want to fight back.

Isaac Asimov 4 book box set
The three laws of Robotics: 1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm 2) A robot must obey orders givein to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. With this, Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of interlinked stories: from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future--a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete. Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world--all told with the dramatic blend of science fact & science fiction that became Asmiov's trademark.

Beyond Great
This exciting new book from the prestigious Boston Consulting Group details the nine core strategies that will help companies keep customers, attract quality talent, generate revenue, and improve the communities around them, in the face of new disruptive forces.
BEYOND will give readers everywhere the strategies they need to navigate a daunting new era of technological, economic, and social change. Supported by years of research and hands-on consulting practice, it will present a comprehensive framework for building a high-performing, adaptive, and socially responsible global company.
The book begins by taking an incisive look at the disruptive forces transforming globalization, including economic nationalism; the boom in data flows and digital commerce; the rise of China; heightened public concerns about capitalism and the environment; and the emergence of borderless communities of digitally connected consumers. The authors then offer nine core strategies that will help businesses today address and exploit these forces.
Through compelling stories from international companies like Rolls-Royce, Siemens, Microsoft, Xiaomi, Fitbit, Adidas, and many others, BEYOND argues that leaders today must evince a new kind of flexibility and light-footedness, constantly layering in new strategies and operational norms atop existing ones to allow for "always-on" transformation. Leaders must master a whole new set of rules about what it takes to be "global," becoming shapeshifters adept at handling contradiction, multiplicity, and nuance. This book will show them how.

La Voiture de pompiers disparue : Le roman d´un crime
Gunvald Larsson est en train de surveiller un immeuble déshérité lorsque le bâtiment explose. Il se porte aussitôt au secours des résidents. A premire vue, l'incendie paraît accidentel : il suffit d'un malheureux concours de circonstances, une substance inflammable, de l'essence. D'ailleurs l'un des habitants se serait suicidé au gaz, transformant son appartement en véritable bombe. Affaire classée. Sauf que Larsson ne l'entend pas de cette oreille ; le feu était trop violent, il s'est propagé trop vite. C'est alors, qu'une révélation stupéfiante va rendre l'affaire totalement incompréhensible.

Immunity to Change
A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they don't change their habits, only one in seven will be able to follow through successfully. Desire and motivation aren't enough: even when it's literally a matter of life or death, the ability to change remains maddeningly elusive. Given that the status quo is so potent, how can we change ourselves and our organizations? In Immunity to Change, authors Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey show how our individual beliefs—along with the collective mind-sets in our organizations—combine to create a natural but powerful immunity to change.
By revealing how this mechanism holds us back, Kegan and Lahey give us the keys to unlock our potential and finally move forward. And by pinpointing and uprooting our own immunities to change, we can bring our organizations forward with us. This persuasive and practical book, filled with hands-on diagnostics and compelling case studies, delivers the tools you need to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work.
