Sky High!
The first book on aviation history of its kind, covering everything that flies in one spectacular comic album about our conquest of the skies. Sky High! introduces you to a whole ensemble of scientists, inventors and builders: those from the distant past, such as Leonardo da Vinci and the Montgolfier brothers; those closer to our time, such as the Wright brothers or Otto Lilienthal; and current innovators, who have new, amazing ideas. You will take a look at how brilliant inventions and iconic machines were created, and learn about the breakthrough moments in the development of aviation.
You will also meet brave aviators, daring aerial circus performers and test pilots. You will see how a jet engine works, how aircraft carrier staff work and how it feels to travel in an airship. You will see the cockpit of a fighter jet and the Jumbo Jet's cargo hold up close, and you will also see if it is possible to build an airplane in...
a garage. In an accessible and funny form, you will learn the answers to the most important questions: how do planes not fall from the sky? How does a radar or parachute work? Are wings or rotors better? The fascinating history of aviation is a story of countless ups and downs, which proves that even the wildest dream can become a reality. It's time to fasten your seatbelts.

Flirting with Danger
A picture should tell a story. It should open doors to a mysterious journey of thought by letting its viewers forget the world around them for a brief moment. David Drebin is known for infusing his photographic masterpieces with compelling narratives. Although each of his works is marked by creative uniqueness, his signature style puts a distinct stamp under each image - a romantic melancholy with a hint of eroticism that elegantly invites you into an exciting fantasy. In his new illustrated book Flirting With Danger, the renowned star photographer now presents particularly sensational moments of this theme. David Drebin creates a dream world in a cinematographic way, which, thanks to his hyper-realistic style, seems so lifelike that the viewer feels part of the scenery. Perhaps it is this twist that makes his artworks so suspenseful, or perhaps it is the way he skilfully stages his protagonists. Each of his pictures leaves the impression of its own dramaturgy, which only stimulates the mental cinema. What will happen next? What happened before? The artist's new coffee-table book is now dedicated to the fascinating attraction of the forbidden and the dangerous. Intense snapshots show approaches to the exciting sides of life. The result is a book in a class of its own. In an extra-large format, the artist's pictures can achieve maximum effect and thus skilfully bring the emotions of the viewers to their peak.
The Crimson Moth
Enemies-to-lovers doesn't get more high stakes than a witch and a witch hunter falling in love in bestselling author Kristen Ciccarelli's latest romantic fantasy.
On the night Rune’s life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is.
Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe – a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution – who she can't help but find herself falling for.
Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune’s merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting?
Kristen Ciccarelli’s The Crimson Moth is the thrilling start to a romantic fantasy duology where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch…is falling in love.
All That We Never Were
Devastating grief has a way of overshadowing love...
Nineteen-year-old Leah Jones is struggling to cope after she and her twenty-nine-year-old brother Oliver lose their parents in a horrific car accident. Leah was in the car and is plagued by nightmares, intense grief and numbness-her life as she knew it is over.
Oliver hates leaving Leah at a time like this, but the only way he can support them both is if he transfers to Sydney for work. He implores his best friend Axel Nguyen to let her move in with him in their hometown of Byron Bay and watch over her while he's away. Oliver, Axel and Leah have known each other since childhood.
For Axel, seeing Leah so broken and devastated is a punch to the gut. He promises himself he'll do anything to bring the light back into her eyes, no matter what it takes. He would be shocked to learn that Leah is in love with him.
Little by little, as he does everything in his power to bring Leah back to the sparkling, energetic beauty he's known, he falls in love with her, too, even though he feels that he's betraying Oliver's trust. Before he can tell him, Oliver finds out about Leah and Axel's relationship and is outraged. He insists Axel prove his love by letting her go so she can fully experience life at college.
Axel agrees to break both of their hearts, and stoically breaks up with Leah so she can start a new life, not realizing the repercussions that will affect them both for years to come.
Teach the Torches to Burn: A Romeo & Juliet Remix
In the Remixed Classics series, authors from marginalized backgrounds reinterpret classic works through their own cultural lens to subvert the overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon. Queer star-crossed love amid a centuries-old feud takes center stage in this Romeo & Juliet remix that knows sometimes, the best way is to make it gay.
Verona, Italy. Seventeen-year-old aspiring artist Romeo dreams of a quiet life with someone who loves him just as he is. But as the heir to the Montague family, he is expected to give up his "womanly" artistic pursuits and uphold the family honor—particularly in their centuries-old blood feud with a rival family, the Capulets. Worse still, he is also expected to marry a well-bred girl approved by his parents and produce heirs. But the more Romeo is forced to mingle with eligible maidens, the harder it is to keep his deepest secret: He only feels attracted to other boys.
In an attempt to forget his troubles for just one night, Romeo joins his cousin in sneaking into a Capulet party. During a fateful encounter in the garden, he meets the kindest, most beautiful boy he's ever met, and is shocked to learn he's Valentine, the younger brother of one of his closest friends. He is even more shocked to discover that Valentine is just as enamored with Romeo as Romeo is with him.
So begins a tender romance that the boys must hide from their families and friends, each of them longing for a world where they could be together without fear. And as the conflict between the Montagues and Capulets escalates out of control, Romeo and Valentine find themselves in danger of losing each other forever—if not by society's scorn, then by the edge of a blade.

The Daughter of Auschwitz
An incredible story of courage, resilience and survival.
'I am a survivor. That comes with a survivor's obligation to represent one and half million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis. They cannot speak. So I must speak on their behalf.'
Tova Friedman was one of the youngest people to emerge from Auschwitz. After surviving the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Central Poland where she lived as a toddler, Tova was four when she and her parents were sent to a Nazi labour camp, and almost six when she and her mother were forced into a packed cattle truck and sent to Auschwitz II, also known as the Birkenau extermination camp, while her father was transported to Dachau.
During six months of incarceration in Birkenau, Tova witnessed atrocities that she could never forget, and experienced numerous escapes from death. She is one of a handful of Jews to have entered a gas chamber and lived to tell the tale.
As Nazi killing squads roamed Birkenau before abandoning the camp in January 1945, Tova and her mother hid among corpses. After being liberated by the Russians they made their way back to their hometown in Poland. Eventually Tova's father tracked them down and the family was reunited.
In The Daughter of Auschwitz, Tova immortalizes what she saw, to keep the story of the Holocaust alive, at a time when it's in danger of fading from memory. She has used those memories that have shaped her life to honour the victims. Written with award-winning former war reporter Malcolm Brabant, this is an extremely important book. Brabant's meticulous research has helped Tova recall her experiences in searing detail. Together they have painstakingly recreated Tova's extraordinary story about the world's worst ever crime.

A sárga pokol
Charles Lorre (Nagy Károly) a kalandregény két világháború közötti virágkorának jeles szerzõje. Légiós történetei és kalandos regényei mindig könnyed szórakozást nyújtanak a rejtõi stílus és világ kedvelõi számára. Részlet az e-könyvbõl: "Vessünk egy pillantást erre a kocsmára. Már ahhoz is igazán jóindulat kell, hogy ezt a helyiséget nemes egyszerûséggel kocsmának nevezzük. A helyiség ugyanis még röviddel ezelõtt teveistálló volt, és mióta az utolsó teve is eltávozott belõle, a tulajdonos nemigen tartott különösebb nagytakarítást. De hát ? gondolta Ali ben Mahrun, a tulajdonos a légionistáknak ez is túlságosan megfelelõ. A légionista ide inni jön, és akkor is iszik, ha tapéta van a falakon, akkor is, ha pókháló lóg a szájába. Mert itt csak két dolog a döntõ: az, hogy a légionista szomjas legyen, meg az, hogy dühös. Ez a kettõ kell ahhoz, hogy igyék. A légionista pedig mindig szomjas és mindig dühös."

Informatika szóbeli érettségi közép- és emelt szinten - Negyedik kiadás, EMMI kerettanterv
A könyvet az Oktatási Hivatal az EMMI kerettantervek szerint TKV/5684-20/2013 engedélyszámmal 2018. augusztus 31-ig tankönyvvé nyilvánította.
Egy sikeres informatika érettségi vizsga olyan jártasságot tanúsít, melyet egyfelől a munkaerőpiac is elismer, másfelől egyre több felsőoktatási intézmény választható felvételi tárgyként is elfogad. A jeles középszintű eredmény ugyanis kiváltja az ECDL vizsgát, a sikeres emelt szintű vizsga pedig egyenes utat jelenthet a szakirányú felsőoktatási intézményekbe.
Az érettségi vizsga részletes követelményeit miniszteri rendelet szabályozza: ez egységes elvárást jelent mind a gyakorlati, mind a szóbeli vizsgarészen.
Könyvünkben azokat az ismereteket dolgoztuk fel, melyeket a jelöltektől a szóbeli vizsgabizottság kér számon a közép-, illetve az emelt szintű vizsgán. Arra törekedtünk, hogy a jelöltek általános képet kapjanak az elvárt anyagról, ezért nem egy konkrét tételsor mentén dolgoztuk fel az ismereteket.
Az érdeklődők számára a kiadó honlapjáról teszünk elérhetővé egy konkrét tételsor mintát és az érettségi vizsgával kapcsolatos egyéb információkat.
A gyakorlati vizsgára való felkészüléshez a szerző Informatika gyakorlati érettségi közép- és emelt szinten című könyvét ajánljuk.
