The Vampire War
Off to war.Today was supposed to be my day off from training, but when a group of vampires attack me on my way home from church, I'm forced to defend myself. Without my silver sword, that is.Luckily, an amazingly handsome sorcerer comes to my rescue, only to inform me of an impending war brewing between sorcerers and vampires. He says someone is trying to provoke both sides into war, a war neither side will win, and that he needs my help to stop it.I'd love to, but I soon discover that whoever is trying to start this war doesn't just want to start a war, but also wants me on their side.Now I have to not only stop this war before it destroys both sorcerers and vampires alike, but also keep myself from being seduced by the dark side. And that, of course, is far easier said than done.

The Return of Consciousness
Consciousness is also a unique scientific problem in other ways. There is no general agreement about the definition of the subject of study. Opinions are divided about how - with which methods - it should be studied. And nobody can know for sure which answers could possibly be relevant. For many decades it was forgotten by science, buried underground by the regime of behaviourism and cognitive science, but now it has arisen again and has become a hot topic in circles working at the frontier of science.

Forge of the High Mage
After decades of warfare, Malazan forces are now close to consolidating the Quon Talian mainland. Yet it is at this moment that Emperor Kellanved orders a new campaign far to the north: the invasion of Falar.
Since the main Malazan armies are otherwise engaged in Quon Tali, a collection of orphaned units and broken squads has been brought together under Fist Dujek - himself recovering from the loss of an arm - to fight this new campaign. A somewhat rag-tag army, joined by a similarly motley fleet under the command of the Emperor himself.
There are however those who harbour doubts regarding the stewardship of Kellanved and his cohort Dancer, and as the Malazan force heads north, it encounters an unlooked-for and most unwelcome threat - unspeakable and born of legend, it has woken and will destroy all who stand in its way. Most appalled by this is Tayschrenn, the untested High Mage of the Empire. He is all-too aware of the true nature of this ancient horror - and his own inadequacy in having to confront it. Yet confront it he must, alongside the most unlikely of allies . . .
And then the theocracy of Falar is itself far from defenceless - its priests are in possession of a weapon so terrifying it has not been unleashed for centuries. Named the Jhistal, it was rumoured to be a gift from the sea-god Mael. But two can play at that game, for the Emperor sails towards Falar aboard his flagship Twisted - a vessel that is itself thought to be not entirely of this world . . .
Here, then, in the tracts of the Ice Wastes and among the islands of Falar, the Empire of Malaz faces two seemingly insurmountable tests - each one potentially the origin of its destruction . . .
These are bloody, turbulent and treacherous times for all caught up in the forging of the Malazan Empire.

Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands
An intrepid professor must uncover faerie secrets in the delightful and heart-warming second instalment of the Sunday Times bestselling Emily Wilde series.
Emily Wilde is a genius scholar of faerie folklore, and has catalogued many secrets of the Hidden Folk in her encyclopaedia with her infuriatingly charming fellow scholar, Wendell Bambleby, by her side.
But Bambleby is more than just a brilliant and unbearably handsome scholar. He's an exiled faerie king on the run from his murderous mother, in search of a door back to his realm.
By lucky happenstance, Emily's new project, a map of the realms of faerie, will take them on an adventure to the picturesque Austrian Alps, where Emily believes they may find the door to Bambleby's realm, and the key to freeing him from his family's dark plans.
But with new friendships for the prickly Emily to navigate and dangerous Folk lurking in every forest and hollow, Emily must unravel the mysterious workings of faerie doors, and of her own heart.

Start here to follow Sophie, Agatha, and everyone at school from the beginning!

Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks and wicked black cat, seems a natural fit for the villains in the School for Evil.

The Monocle Book of the Home
Good homes are places where lives can unfold, families grow up, dogs jump on sofas, friends share your hospitality. They should also be places where you can find some solitude - a quiet corner to read a book, have a Saturday afternoon nap. In short, they need to be able to sustain you, inspire you and tell your story thanks to their architecture, use of materials and contents.
These are the attributes that Monocle has always celebrated when covering residences in its design and architecture pages - whether featuring a city bolthole, a modernist seaside residence or a summer outpost in a forest. Now Monocle is bringing this all together in one book that explores individual homes, housing projects old and new, communities of self-builders, even whole neighbourhoods where a simple philosophy of building well has created quality of life for many. Monocle has also recruited key thinkers, writers and designers to share their perspectives in a series of fascinating essays.
The Monocle Book of Homes is packed with great photography that delivers the bigger picture and also offers a focus on the smallest details. This is a book that could change how you live.

Beatles, The - Abbey Road (50th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set) 3LP
Jedna z nejdůležitějších kapel hudební historie Beatles 27. září vydává reedici slavného alba Abbey Road. Ikonická fotografie kapely přecházející přes přechod pro chodce byla totiž vyfocena fotografem Ianem Macmillanem 27. září přesně před 50 lety. Macmillan balancující na žebříku kousek od přechodu v ulici Abbey Road, kde se nachází dnes již stejnojmenná slavná nahrávací studia, zachytil pouze šest fotografií, přičemž na cover alba byla vybrána pátá z nich.
Abbey Road nebylo sice posledním albem kapely, neboť o rok později v roce 1970 vyšla ještě deska Let It Be, ale jedná se o poslední album, na kterém ještě spolupracovali všichni členové kapely - John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney a George Harrison - společně. Abbey Road, které debutovalo na první příčce britských i amerických žebříčků, kde se drželo 17 týdnů, se vylisovaly miliony kusů, v roce 1995 si deska vysloužila uvedení do Grammy Hall of Fame za nahrávku neupadající kvality a historického významu a album dodnes zůstává nejprodávanější studiovou deskou kapely. Snímek z obalu alba se stal jednou z nejslavnějších fotografií a ikonický přechod je každoročně hojně navštěvovaným místem tisíců fanoušků kapely. Studia byla z původních EMI Recording Studios přejmenována na Abbey Road Studios a stala se nejslavnějšími nahrávacími studii na světě.
Všech sedmnáct skladeb bylo nově zmixováno producentem Gilesem Martinem - synem legendárního producenta George Martina, který s Beatles od samých začátků pracoval. „Kouzlo vychází z rukou, které hrají na nástroje, z prolínání hlasů Beatles, z krásy aranží,” komentuje reedici Martin. „Naším úkolem bylo jenom ujistit se, že všechno bude znít tak čerstvě a chytí vás tak intenzivně, jako v den, kdy byly skladby poprvé nahrány.” Základní sada písní je doplněna o 23 studiových a demo nahrávek, z nichž většina nebyla dříve vydána. Na desce se nachází hity, jako je například Come Together, Here Comes The Sun, Oh! Darling nebo Octopus's Garden.
Deluxe edice alba obsahují knihu s komentářem Paula McCartneyho, historika Beatles Kevina Howletta, poznámky ke každé ze skladeb, esej od hudebního publicisty Davida Hepwortha, která reflektuje vliv alba, dříve nevydané fotografie, které z většiny zachytila Linda McCartney, ručně psané texty, korespondenci Beatles, tehdejší reklamní letáky a mnoho dalšího.

Architecture at the Heart of the Home
Increasingly, domestic architecture has sought to enhance everyday life by providing resonant settings that reflect the human need for comfort, safety and connection. A house has walls and ceilings, and perhaps a garden, but beyond that, there is always that one part of a home that becomes a place of belonging, around which people gather.
Architecture at the Heart of the Home showcases those special places and features that make a residence unique. Of course, there are kitchen and dining areas, but a home's heart can also be the physical link between the interior and the exterior, a view, a particular room, or even an architectural feature: a pool that reflects the sky overhead, windows that frame a panoramic vista, or a building's position in the landscape.
The projects in this book are not necessarily grand in scale, but all reveal extraordinary settings that fill the heart with joy and the soul with happiness - the places where memories are made.
