The Gloaming
'The best lives leave a mark.'
A bewitching tale of first love, shattering grief, and the dangerous magic that draws us home.
Mara's island is one of stories and magic, but every story ends in the same way. She will finish her days on the cliff, turned to stone and gazing out at the horizon like all the islanders before her.
Mara's parents - a boxer and a ballerina - chose this enchanted place as a refuge from the turbulence of their previous lives; they wanted to bring up their children somewhere special and safe. But the island and the sea don't care what people want, and when they claim a price from her family, Mara's world unravels.
It takes the arrival of Pearl, mysterious and irresistible, to light a spark in Mara again, and allow her to consider a different story for herself.
The Gloaming is a gorgeous tale of love and grief, and the gap between fairy tales and real life.
Why We Photograph Animals
A compelling visual anthology of one of photography’s most popular subjects, reframing our understanding of why we photograph animals and why photographing them matters to us and the planet.
A visual overview of the history and future of animal photography, Why We Photograph Animals encourages us to think and rethink the way we have looked at?and used?animals and to consider our future relationships with nonhuman species.
Multistranded, this book features the work of more than one hundred photographers supported by thematic essays that provide historical context; interviews with and contributions by leading contemporary photographers that explore their influences, methods, and motivations; and dazzling visual collections that present the very best animal photography from its inception to the present day.
The result is a book that will engage those with an interest in wildlife photography and the natural world, but also those with a concern for the future of the planet. Huw Lewis-Jones’s expert authorship and curation celebrates extraordinary images by brilliant photographers, but also allows us to understand why people have photographed animals at different points in history and what it means in the present.
Why We Photograph Animals is deliberately not a conventional history of wildlife photography. It’s an exploration of the animal in photography. It speaks to our ongoing desire to look at animals; to understand, misunderstand, and appreciate them; to use and abuse them; to neglect or come to value and protect them.

Elképesztő!
Elképesztő álmai mindenkinek vannak. A tiéd mi? Luxusnyaralás? Léghajózás? Száguldozás egy spéci terepjáróval? Hogy felvegyenek a legmenőbb gimibe? Vagy olyan őrült barátot szeretnél, aki betör a kedvedért egy múzeumba? Esetleg valami különleges tehetségre vágysz
Jóhegyi Laci, Dóri és Sári - a népszerű Tündérboszorkány-trilógia szereplői - rejtélyes meghívót kapnak egy ismeretlen suli gólyatáborába. De vajon miért tilos az internet és a mobil használata? Ez gáz! Elmenjenek egyáltalán?
De talán épp ez lesz az a nyár, amikor a legelképesztőbb álmaik is valóra válnak.
What It's Like to be a Bird
The bird book for birders and nonbirders alike that will excite and inspire by providing a new and deeper understanding of what common, mostly backyard, birds are doing—and why: “Can birds smell?”; “Is this the same cardinal that was at my feeder last year?”; “Do robins ‘hear’ worms?”
In What It’s Like to Be a Bird, David Sibley answers the most frequently asked questions about the birds we see most often. This special, large-format volume is geared as much to nonbirders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than two hundred species and including more than 330 new illustrations by the author. While its focus is on familiar backyard birds—blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees—it also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin.
David Sibley’s exacting artwork and wide-ranging expertise bring observed behaviors vividly to life. (For most species, the primary illustration is reproduced life-sized.) And while the text is aimed at adults—including fascinating new scientific research on the myriad ways birds have adapted to environmental changes—it is nontechnical, making it the perfect occasion for parents and grandparents to share their love of birds with young children, who will delight in the big, full-color illustrations of birds in action.
Unlike any other book he has written, What It’s Like to Be a Bird is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley’s world of birds.
Civilizáció
Ha 1411-ben körbeutazhattuk volna a földet, leginkább talán a Kelet pezsgő civilizációi nyűgöztek volna le bennünket. A Mingek Pekingjében éppen a Tiltott Város építése zajlott, a Közel-Keleten pedig az oszmánok egyre inkább körbezárták Konstantinápolyt.
Ezzel szemben Anglia egy pestistől és állandó háborúktól sújtott, elmaradott térségnek tűnt volna, szörnyű higiéniai viszonyokkal. A többi civódó nyugat-európai királyság - Aragónia, Kasztília, Franciaország, Portugália és Skócia - sem tett volna ránk kedvezőbb benyomást. Az a gondolat, hogy a következő fél évezred jó részében a Nyugat uralja majd a többieket, merő képzelgésnek tűnt volna csupán. Pedig így történt.
Mi lehetett az a nyugat-európai civilizációban, ami lehetővé tette, hogy a fejlettebb keleti birodalmak fölé emelkedjen? Niall Ferguson szerint a válasz a Nyugat hat "gyilkos alkalmazásában" keresendő, amelyek nem mások, mint a verseny, a tudomány, a tulajdon, az orvostudomány, a fogyasztás és a munka.
Manapság a kulcskérdés az, vajon a Nyugat elveszítette-e a monopóliumát ezeken a területeken. Amennyiben igen, elképzelhető, hogy a Nyugat fénykorának végére értünk, figyelmeztet Ferguson.
Civilizáció című mű különleges világkörüli utazásra hívja olvasóit: a nankingi Nagy- csatornától az isztambuli Topkapi palotáig; az Andokban fekvő Machu Picchutól a namíbiai Shark-szigetig, Prága büszke tornyaitól Vencsou számos titkos templomáig. Vitorlásokról, hittérítőkről, földtulajdonosi okiratokról, oltásokról, a farmernadrágról és a kínai bibliákról szól ez a történet. A modern világtörténelem meghatározó narratívája.
Negatives
A gorgeous hardcover time capsule of the emo music scene as it was from 1996 to 2006, featuring never-before-seen photographs and never-before-told stories from key emo musicians, photographers, and icons.
While the term emo has become a familiar label, there was a time when that wasn’t the case. Many bands of the mid-to-late '90s would never have classified themselves as such. With the advent of the 2000s, the previously underground emo scene was put on the map, and the term and sound of the genre morphed into something new. Today, the musical and cultural impact of this movement is alive and well, responsible for some of the biggest and most influential acts of the 21st century, from Jimmy Eat World to My Chemical Romance, and the emo label has been reclaimed by those who can’t imagine life without it.
Through rare and never-before-seen photographs Amy Fleisher Madden, founder of Fiddler Records (Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, Recover, and more), thoughtfully and lovingly put together this moving archive of the second and third waves of emo. With a foreword by Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and revealing essays from Frank Iero, Geoff Rickly, Norman Brannon, Matt Pryor, Jesse Johnson, Andrew McMahon, and Bob Nanna, as well as insights and bite-sized narratives from photographers and other musicians of the era, this heartwarming time capsule expounds an extraordinary moment in music history—a scene that gave life to not only numerous big names but also to a powerful sound and even more powerful friendships.
Featuring more than eighty bands, including:
- Jimmy Eat World
- Dashboard Confessional
- My Chemical Romance
- Texas Is the Reason
- Taking Back Sunday
- The Get Up Kids
- Thursday
- Fall Out Boy
- American Football
- Jawbreaker
From basements and VFW halls to dive bars and holes-in-the-wall, during long overnight drives through the middle of nowhere and stolen moments of sleep in carbon-copy motels, Negatives captures the heart of what made up this tight-knit community, an official archive of life as it was, taking you on stage, behind the curtain, and on the road.
A UNIQUE LOVE LETTER FROM EXPERT AUTHOR: The first of its kind, Negatives is not a critic's take—rather a touching and heartfelt time capsule and photographic archive of the scene as told by those who lived it.
RARE AND NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN MATERIAL: Founder of Fiddler Records Amy Fleisher Madden compiles hundreds of high-quality photos of more than eighty bands, as well as essays and bite-sized narratives from photographers and key musicians of the era.
STAR CONTRIBUTORS: Foreword by Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional) with essays by Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), Geoff Rickly (Thursday), Norman Brannon (Texas Is the Reason), Matt Pryor (The Get Up Kids), Jesse Johnson (Motion City Soundtrack), Bob Nanna (Braid, Hey Mercedes), and Andrew McMahon (Something Corporate).
A MUSIC GIFT FOR EVERY EMO FAN: Focusing on the second and third waves (1996–2006), Negatives includes hundreds of high-quality images of bands including Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, My Chemical Romance, Texas Is the Reason, Taking Back Sunday, The Get Up Kids, Thursday, The Promise Ring, American Football, Saosin, and more.
Perfect for:
- Emo fans of all kinds and all waves
- Fans of second-wave bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, third-wave bands like My Chemical Romance, and indie emo bands like Death Cab for Cutie
- Music history fans
- Musicians and aspiring musicians
- Photography enthusiasts
- Music lover's gift idea for birthday, graduation, holiday, or any special occasion

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."
