The Vanquishers
The first book in a bitingly brilliant and fangtastically feisty debut middle-grade series by New York Times bestselling author Kalynn Bayron. Fans of The Breakfast Club Adventures, Goosebumps and Stranger Things will devour this fun, thrilling and heartfelt vampire adventure.
In the world of the Vanquishers, vampires were history ... until now.
Malika “Boog” Wilson and her best friends have grown up idolising the Vanquishers, a group of heroic vampire hunters who wiped out the last horde of the undead decades ago. Nowadays, most people don't take even the most basic vampire precautions - the days of garlic wreaths and early curfews are long gone - but Boog's parents still follow the old rules, much to her embarrassment.
When a friend goes missing, Boog isn't sure what to think. Could it be the school counsellor, Mr Rupert, who definitely seems to be hiding something? Or could it be something more dangerous? Boog is determined to save her friend, but is she ready to admit vampires might not be vanquished after all?
No one ever expected the Vanquishers to return, but if their town needs protection from the undead, Boog knows who to call ...
War and Punishment
From heroic dissident journalist Mikhail Zygar, a journey into the myths and fantasies that led Russia to violence in Ukraine
'History is made up of myths,' writes the renowned Russian dissident journalist Mikhail Zygar. 'Alas, our myths led us to the fascism of 2022. It is time to expose them.' Drawing from his perilous career investigating the frontiers of the Russian empire, Zygar reveals how 350 years of propaganda, bad historical scholarship, folk tales and fantasy spurred his nation into war with Ukraine.
How did a German monk's fear of the Ottoman Empire drive him to invent the fiction of a united Russian world? How did corny spy novels about a 'Soviet James Bond' inspire Vladimir Putin to join the KGB? How did Alexander Pushkin's admiration for a poem by Lord Byron end with him slandering the legendary chief of the Cossacks? And how did Putin underestimate a rising TV comic named Volodymyr Zelensky, failing to see that his satire had become deadly serious, and that his country would be a joke no longer?
A noted expert on the Kremlin with unparalleled access to hundreds of players in the current conflict - from politicians to oligarchs, gangsters to comedians (not least Zelensky himself) - Zygar chronicles the power struggles from which today's politics grew, and digs out the essential truths from behind layers of seductive legend. By surveying the strange, complex record of Russo-Ukrainian relations, War and Punishment reveals exactly how the largest nation on Earth lost its senses. A work of history can't undo the past or transform the present, but sometimes it can shape the future.
In fact, that's how the story begins.
Az utolsó
Háború fenyeget a Varázslók Világában. Az ezeréves béke inogni látszik. A rendek közötti viszály átível az emberek világába is, ahol a mágia nem több puszta tündérmesénél.
Tara a gimisek mindennapjait éli. Amikor édesanyja bejelenti, hogy új állást kapott egy kisvárosban, és búcsút kell mondaniuk addigi életüknek, a lány azt gondolja, ennél rosszabb nem is történhetett volna. Csakhogy az új házban és a városban senki és semmi nem az, aminek látszik.
Öccsével, Bennyvel leleplezik Nicholast, a ház fogságába száműzött varázslót, aki szellemként tengeti életét. A két testvér segít neki kiszabadulni a fogságból, amivel felkeltik Derwin, a rettegett sötét-mágus figyelmét. A testvérpárból préda lesz.
Tarának gyorsan kell cselekednie, ha meg akarja menteni azokat, akik fontosak a számára. Küzdelmei során azonban nemcsak arra döbben rá, hogy az eddig ismertnek hitt világa mögött húzódik egy ismeretlen másik, hanem arra is, hogy a feladat, melyet magára kellett vállalnia, talán sokkal nagyobb, mint amivel elbír.
Alynne Webb első regénye sodró erejű fantasy, melynek lélegzetelállító világát varázslatos teremtmények és mágusok népesítik be, amit minden igazi fantasyrajongó imádni fog.
Szex, drogok és csokoládé
Az élvezet nehezen megfogható téma. Felismerjük, ha találkozunk vele, és nyilvánvalónak tűnik, hogy mind többre vágyunk belőle. De vajon meg tudnánk-e határozni a mibenlétét? Vajon a vágyakozás vagy a beteljesülés okoz-e nagyobb örömet? A könyv szerzője, Paul Martin, a Cambridge-ben végzett brit biológus - a természettudományok doktora, a behaviorista biológia kutatásának specialistája - e művében mindenekelőtt egészségünk és lelkiéletünk szempontjából vizsgálja a gyönyöröket és túlzásaik veszélyeit. Olyan fontos kérdéseket próbál meg tisztázni, mint a vágy, az öröm, a boldogság és elégedettség közötti különbségeket. Tárgyilagos szemléletével nem egyszer el is oszlatja az előítéleteket, a babonás félelmet az élvhajhászat egyes formáitól. Például kiderül a könyvből, hogy a csokoládé iránti "szenvedély" jogtalanul viseli ezt a nevet: a csokizás a vizsgálatok szerint nemcsak ártatlan, de kifejezetten hasznos élvezet. A szerző emellett elénk tárja a gyönyörök lenyűgözően érdekes, gazdag és színes kultúrtörténeti hátterét is, gyakran megidézve a témáról a filozófia és pszichológia klasszikusait. Feleleveníti a történelem jeles személyiségeinek kedvenc élvezeteit: Viktória királynő és a marihuána, Freud és a kokain, Stevenson és az ópium, Churchill és az alkohol kapcsolatát. De választ kapunk arra is, mi történik, ha egy élvhajhász embert a fizika és kémia törvényein kívül semmi sem akadályoz kéjvágya kiélésében, vagy hogy a heroin intravénás élvezete tényleg mérföldekkel jobb-e, mint a legnagyobb szexuális gyönyör hússzorosa. A könyv magyar kiadását szakemberek segítségével összeállított magyarországi körképpel egészítettük ki, amely bemutatja a jelenlegi hazai helyzetet az örömkereső szenvedélyek és következményeik terén.

Opevnění v okolí Prahy
V době zvýšeného ohrožení Československa na konci 30. let minulého století bylo opevňováno nejen pohraničí, ale řada pevnostních linií vznikla i ve vnitrozemí republiky. Na obranu přístupů k hlavnímu městu byla vybudována 112 km dlouhá fortifikační linie, tzv. "Pražská čára". Její průběh byl od Mělníka přes Velvary, Slaný, Smečno, Novou Huť pod Nižborem a Beroun ke Hlásné Třebáni a poté přes brdský hřeben ke Slapům n. Vlt. Od srpna 1936 do září 1938 zde bylo vybetonováno 830 pevnostních objektů a desítky kilometrů překážkového systému. Tato fakta, širčí veřejnosti dosud málo známá, jsou v této publikaci přibližována za pomoci četných dobových dokumentů a fotografií, z nichž většina je zveřejněna poprvé po 65 letech od tragických událostí podzimu 1938. Přílohová část publikace obsahuje zejména letecké snímky, pořízené v letech 1938-1953, na kterých je vyznačeno umístění většiny z 830 pevnostních objektů vybudovaných v rámci 17 stavebních úseků tzv. Pražské čáry. Dále zde najdeme ukázky původní dokumentace jednotlivých stavebních úseků z fondů Vojenského historického archivu, terén pevnostní linie zachycený na řadě dobových pohlednic a výkresy stavebně nejzajímavějších realizovaných pevnůstek. Nechybí ani celková přehledná mapa Pražské čáry formátu A3 s vyznačením rozmístění jednotek dvou českosloveských divizí, které byly na podzim 1938 připraveny k obraně hlavního města. V obou svazcích publikace bylo zpracováno přes 270 dobových fotografií, pohlednic, leteckých snímů a technických výkresů.

Women
15 hours
The missing. The forgotten. The brave… The women.
From master storyteller Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds, comes the story of a turbulent, transformative era in America: the 1960s. The Women is that rarest of novels—at once an intimate portrait of a woman coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided by war and broken by politics, of a generation both fueled by dreams and lost on the battlefield.
“Women can be heroes, too.”
When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different choice for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path.
As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed and politically divided America.
The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on the story of all women who put themselves in harm’s way to help others. Women whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has all too often been forgotten. A novel of searing insight and lyric beauty, The Women is a profoundly emotional, richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose extraordinary idealism and courage under fire define a generation.
