Lidé před člověkem
Naučná kniha cambridgeského profesora se na pozadí studia hominidů snaží najít odpověď na základní otázky vývoje člověka. Autor si neklade za cíl omráčit čtenáře novou senzační teorií o vzniku lidstva, ale rekapituluje dosavadní poznatky na poli evoluce člověka a podává seriózní výklad, založený na dosavadním vědeckém zkoumání pozůstatků hominidů. Zamýšlí se též obecněji nad různými vědeckými přístupy ke studiu evoluce.

La Bible /fran.TOB/ ekun+deut
Rigueur scientifique et ouverture d'esprit furent les mots d'ordre de cette traduction (dite "TOB"), coordonnée par des catholiques, des orthodoxes et des protestants, sortie en 1988. L'équipe a manifesté les mêmes qualités en révisant le texte pour tenir compte de remarques faites au fil des années par de nombreux lecteurs. Oeuvre collective, ce travail ne prétend pas à l'originalité d'une traduction personnelle, mais les vérifications impitoyables auxquelles il a été soumis en font la nouveauté. Outre le texte et les notes, le volume comporte une introduction générale de la Bible et de chaque livre séparément, huit pages de cartes en couleurs, deux plans de Jérusalem aux temps bibliques, un tableau chronologique (12 pages) et un glossaire (20 pages). De l'esprit oecuménique témoignent, outre la traduction, l'ordre des livres et la présence des textes dits "apocryphes" ou "deutérocanoniques". L'Ancien Testament est traduit selon le texte hébreu fixé ne varietur par la tradition juive (les variantes importantes étant mises en notes), "comme une pierre d'attente" d'une future coopération judéo-chrétienne. --Colette-Rebecca Estin

Mindörökké evolúció
Az evolúció elmélete alapjaiban változtatta meg az emberi gondolkodást, és a legkülönbözőbb szakterületek tudósai, kutatói alkalmazták vagy szálltak vele vitába. A kettős jubileum alkalmából 2009-ben a legnevesebb magyar tudósok álltak össze, hogy egy előadás-sorozat keretében emlékezzenek meg a Darwin-évről. Mindannyian az evolúciós gondolat egy-egy új és jelentős alkalmazását mutatják be. Előadásaikat követően Mihancsik Zsófia beszélgetett a szerzőkkel. A könyvben ezeknek a beszélgetéseknek a szerkesztett változata is megtalálható.

Zrod myšlení
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (18811955) byl francouzský jezuita, přírodovědec a filozof, který ve svém díle vytvořil teorii evoluce založenou na křesťanském myšlení. Protože jako kněz nesměl bojovat, účastnil se první světové války po celé čtyři roky jako nosič raněných. Při jejich zachraňování z bojiště prokazoval chladnokrevnou odvahu a ve chvílích mezi bitvami psal v zákopech dopisy své sestřenici Marguerite. Kromě barvitých popisů zážitků z války se v nich v zárodečné, ale pronikavé podobě objevují všechny myšlenky, které později tvoří pilíře jeho díla.
Z válečných zákopů se postupně vynořuje Teilhardova vize evolučního vesmíru postupujícího tápavými pokusy, často za drastických okolností, ke sjednocení do jediného komplexního celku, jehož centrem je Bůh. Objevují se zde úvahy o významu energie uvolněné v krizové situaci pro vznik nových forem řádu, o smyslu smrti a lidského utrpení včetně možnosti jeho proměny v nový růst, to vše stále provázeno vědomím obklopujícího božského prostředí. Teilhardovy válečné dopisy mohou být čteny jako vhodný úvod do málo známých nebo zcela neznámých rozměrů jeho díla či jako brána k tomuto mysliteli pro novou generaci čtenářů.
Divoké labute
Tri dcéry Číny
Divoké labute predstavujú príbeh troch generácií žien žijúcich v Číne dvadsiateho storočia, kde sa intimita memoárovej prózy prelína s panorámou národných dejín. Vplyv Maových fantazmagórií na Čínu, neobyčajný pohľad do ženského prežívania modernity a modernizácie, ale aj dojímavé rozprávanie o odvahe a láske. Jung Chang opisuje úžasné životy a zážitky vlastnej rodiny: babičky, ktorá bola konkubínou vojenského diktátora, mamy, ktorá s mladistvým zápalom bojovala za novú komunistickú Čínu, a rodičov, ktorí sa počas kultúrnej revolúcie prepadli spomedzi komunistickej elity medzi politických väzňov.
Detailné rozprávanie Jung Changovej odráža, ako neustále sa opakujúce cykly nepokojov a násilia vo víroch dvadsiateho storočia poznačili nielen osudy jej najbližších, ale aj miliónov ďalších Číňanov.

Marseilles Trilogy Volume One. Fabio Montale is the perfect protagonist in this city of melancholy beauty. A disenchanted cop with an inimitable talent for living who turns his back on a police force marred by corruption and racism and, in the name of friendship, takes the fight against the mafia into his own hands.
The Future of Money
The world of finance is on the cusp of a major disruption that will affect corporations, bankers, states?indeed, all of us. As Eswar Prasad makes clear, the end of physical cash will fundamentally rewrite how we live. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies are just the beginning: spurred by their emergence, central banks will increasingly develop their own, more stable digital currencies. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies themselves will evolve dramatically as global corporations like Meta, Apple, and Amazon join the game.
Prasad shows how these innovations will redefine the very concept of money, unbundling its traditional functions. This transformation promises greater efficiency and flexibility, but also carries the risk of instability, lack of accountability, and erosion of privacy. A lucid, visionary work, The Future of Money shows how to maximize the best and guard against the worst of what is to come.
The Common Reader
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
The only advice, indeed, that one person can give another about reading is to take no advice, to follow your own instincts, to use your own reason, to come to your own conclusions.
In her second volume of essays, Virginia Woolf delves deeper into the delights of reading. Here, she explores the novels of Thomas Hardy and Daniel Defoe, and recounts the fascinating lives of Christina Rossetti and Mary Wollstonecraft. In ‘ How Should One Read a Book?’ she offers sage advice for the common reader, and sheds light on the lessons and pleasures literature can provide.
Published in 1932, The Common Reader: Second Series is a wise and illuminating companion collection to her 1925 First Series. Woolf’s enduring appeal and ideas continue to resonate with readers in the twenty-first century.
Vanity Fair: Oscar Night Sessions

For the past decade, photographer Mark Seliger has set up an elaborate pop-up studio inside the annual Vanity Fair after-party on Oscar Night, producing exquisite portraits of Hollywood's A-list personalities in the immediate afterglow of cinema's biggest event of the year. Vanity Fair: Oscar Night Sessions gathers the best of these portraits in one volume and includes a foreword by Vanity Fair editor in chief Radhika Jones, as well as an afterword by actor Alan Cumming, who sheds light on what it's like to be in front of Seliger's lens on the night of nights.
With more than 200 portraits, featuring names such as Lady Gaga, Robert DeNiro, Donald Glover, Jessica Chastain, Taika Waititi, Spike Lee, Regina King, and Timothée Chalamet, this over-the-top collection will be the talk of both the publishing and film worlds.
The Lord God Made Them All
The fourth volume of memoirs from the author who inspired the BBC and Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small.
Finally home from London after his wartime service in the RAF, James Herriot is settling back into life as a country vet. While the world has changed after the war, the blunt Yorkshire clients and menagerie of beasts with weird and wonderful ailments remain the same. But between his young son, Jimmy, trailing him around copying his every move, stubborn farmers refusing to try his ‘new-fangled’ treatments and a goat that has eaten 293 tomatoes, Darrowby is far from quiet. And with another baby on the way, life is about to get even more chaotic . . .
Since they were first published, James Herriot’s memoirs have sold millions of copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny and touching, The Lord God Made Them All is a heart-warming story of determination, love and companionship from one of Britain’s best-loved authors.
Elysium
Elysium: A Visual History of Angelology is a gloriously illustrated overview of angels across art, religion, and literature from scholar Ed Simon, writer for The Millions.
Ineffable, invisible, inscrutable—angels are enduring creatures across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and human experiences of the divine as mediated by spiritual emissaries are an aspect of almost every religious tradition. In popular culture, angels are often reduced to the most gauzy, sentimental, and saccharine of images: fat babies with wings and guardians with robes, halos, and harps. By contrast, in scripture whenever one of the heavenly choirs appears before a prophet or patriarch, they first declare, “Fear not!” for terror would be the most appropriate initial reaction to these otherworldly beings. Angels are often not what we’d expect, but it’s precisely in that transcendent encounter that something of the strangeness of existence can be conveyed.
Elysium: A Visual History of Angelology is a follow-up volume to Pandemonium: A Visual History of Demonology, offering an account of the angelic hierarchies as they’ve been understood across centuries and cultures, and of the individual personages, such as the archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel, who have marked the mythology of the West.

Conan: Blood of the Serpent
Mercenary, thief, soldier, usurper…
CONAN OF CIMMERIA
As sword for hire for a mercenary troop, Conan finds himself in Sukhmet, a filthy backwater town south of the River Styx considered “the arse-end of Stygia.” Serving in the company known as Zarallo’s Free Companions, he fights alongside soldiers of fortune from Zingara, Koth, Shem, and other lands—a hard-handed band of killers loyal to anyone who pays them well.
In a Sukhmet tavern he encounters one soldier in particular—Valeria of the Red Brotherhood, a veteran of freebooters with whom Conan also sailed, launching raids out of the Barachan Isles on the Western Sea. Valeria’s reputation is that of a deadly swordswoman, a notoriety she quickly proves to be accurate. When she runs afoul of an exiled Stygian noble, however, things take a deadly turn, embroiling them both in the schemes of a priest of the serpent god Set.
The first new Conan novel in more than a decade, Blood of the Serpent leads directly into one of Robert E. Howards’s most famous sword-and-sorcery adventures, “Red Nails.” As a bonus feature that story, as well, is included in this volume.
