The Last Hero
Pratchett's perceptive and laugh-out-loud Discworld series is a literary phenomenon. And in The Last Hero, one aging hero with a grudge decides enough is enough. Beautifully illustrated throughout by Paul Kidby.
A brand-new paperback edition of The Last Hero, featuring a new text design, glorious illustrations by Paul Kidby, and a brand-new cover by artist Leo Nicholls.
It stars the legendary Cohen the Barbarian, a legend in his own lifetime. Cohen can remember when a hero didn't have to worry about fences and lawyers and civilisation, and when people didn't tell you off for killing dragons. But he can't always remember, these days, where he put his teeth...
So now, with his ancient sword and his new walking stick and his old friends - and they're very old friends - Cohen the Barbarian is going on one final quest. He's going to climb the highest mountain in the Discworld and meet his gods. The last hero in the world is going to return what the first hero stole. With a vengeance.
That'll mean the end of the world, if no one stops him in time.

Order without Design
An argument that operational urban planning can be improved by the application of the tools of urban economics to the design of regulations and infrastructure.
Urban planning is a craft learned through practice. Planners make rapid decisions that have an immediate impact on the ground—the width of streets, the minimum size of land parcels, the heights of buildings. The language they use to describe their objectives is qualitative—“sustainable,” “livable,” “resilient”—often with no link to measurable outcomes. Urban economics, on the other hand, is a quantitative science, based on theories, models, and empirical evidence largely developed in academic settings. In this book, the eminent urban planner Alain Bertaud argues that applying the theories of urban economics to the practice of urban planning would greatly improve both the productivity of cities and the welfare of urban citizens.
Bertaud explains that markets provide the indispensable mechanism for cities' development. He cites the experience of cities without markets for land or labor in pre-reform China and Russia; this “urban planners' dream” created inefficiencies and waste. Drawing on five decades of urban planning experience in forty cities around the world, Bertaud links cities' productivity to the size of their labor markets; argues that the design of infrastructure and markets can complement each other; examines the spatial distribution of land prices and densities; stresses the importance of mobility and affordability; and critiques the land use regulations in a number of cities that aim at redesigning existing cities instead of just trying to alleviate clear negative externalities. Bertaud concludes by describing the new role that joint teams of urban planners and economists could play to improve the way cities are managed.

New Art of Coffee
While the popularity of craft cocktails and home bartending have helped people create their own drink-driven memories, the possibilities for coffee have remained rather tame.

Nearly fifty recipes paired with beautiful photography will inspire and offer something for every taste and time of day hot, iced, carbonated, post-workout, decaffeinated, alcoholic, and deconstructed. Organized by mood, the recipes range in complexity from a quick quaff to a showstopping slow build, allowing readers to match the drink with the moment. Enjoy a Moonwater with breakfast, a Throw Em A Haymaker after a hard workout, or an Amuse as a happy-hour delight. The Don is the ideal after-dinner companion, and there s nothing quite like powering down with a Windmill Cookie Steamer after a long day.

The Celtic Myths that Shape the Way We Think
How do myths that were deeply embedded in the customs and beliefs of their original culture find themselves retold and reinterpreted across the world, centuries or even millennia later? Focusing on ten myths that have had the greatest cultural impact and are the most relevant to our lives today, Mark Williams reveals the lasting influence of Celtic mythology, from medieval literature to the modern fantasy genre. Ten chapters recount the myths and explore the lasting influence of legendary figures including King Arthur, the Celtic figure who paradoxically became the archetypal English national hero; Cu Chulainn, the hero of the Tain, Ireland's great medieval epic, who became a symbol of the reborn Irish nation; the Irish and Scottish hero Finn, who as 'Fingal' caught the imagination of Napoleon, Goethe and Mendelssohn; and the Welsh mythical figure Blodeuwedd, magically created from flowers of the oak, who inspired Yeats.
Williams also explores the contentious use of mythic imagery in nationalist ideology, and how characters and concepts from Celtic legends have been relevant to past and present discussions on national identity. His elegantly written retellings capture the beauty of the original myths while also delving deeper into the history of their meanings, offering the reader an intelligent and engaging take on these powerful stories. Beautiful illustrations of the artworks these myths have inspired over the centuries are presented in a colour-plates section and in black-and-white within the text.
Mark Williams' mythological expertise and captivating writing style makes this book essential reading for anyone who appreciates the myths that have shaped our artistic and literary canons and continue to inspire today.

Méreg, ami éltet
Mi tartja életben az élőt? Van-e erő, amely elfordít az élettől? És felismerhető-e az a pont, amikor az eltávolodás, a meghalás elkezdődik? Bóna László, író, irodalmi esszékötetek és népszerű homeopátiás könyvek szerzője, több mint egy évtizede tanulmányozza a homeopátia gyakorlatát és filozófiáját. Sajátos homeopátiás nézőpontból írt Halottaskönyvét több meghalás bensőséges végigkísérése ihlette. A könyvben szereplő emberek nem a homeopátiás kezelés áldozatai, a leggondosabb segítség ellenére is meghalunk valahogy valamikor. Nem mindegy hogyan és mikor. Ugyanaz az az erő segít élni, mint aztán meghalni is. Egyazon erő két arca a gyógyszer és a méreg. Ez a törvény a homeopátia működésének alapja is. A könyv esszé a különféle mérgekről, a meghalás formáiról. A szerző eddigi írásaiban is az életet alakító elemi erőket kutatta. A Homeopátiás Halottaskönyv az életerőt egy meghökkentően új szempontból, lebontó ereje felől közelíti meg. Azért fontos kérdés, hogy meddig köt az élethez valami, ami aztán elold ugyanettől az élettől, hogy szép tartalmas életünk és békés halálunk lehessen. Nagyon segítő, ha ezeket a fontos tanulságokat megosztjuk egymással. A Méreg, ami éltet - Homeopátiás Halottaskönyv Bóna László homeopátiás könyveiből álló trilógiájának legújabb, harmadik kötete.
