The Yellow Balloon
A delightful ride for armchair travellers.
Writer and illustrator Charlotte Dematons infuses this picture book with an enchanting appeal. Lovely watercolours present a great and diverse planet, teeming with life at all times of day and night. People and animals of every shape, colour, size and costume are portrayed, busy at work and play. As the yellow balloon floats through several historical periods - ancient, medieval, and contemporary - and through both natural and supernatural realms, young readers can look out for the small blue car, the fakir on his flying carpet, and the scoundrel in prison garb. This fascinating story takes young readers on a lively and fun-filled journey around the globe.

This book, based on Staud's successful calendars, is an ode to an extraordinary vehicle whose spell stars such as Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Alfred Hitchcock have all fallen under. The elaborately orchestrated pictures show sleek curves and precision in every detail, conveying the passion for this breathtaking automobile. A photographic tribute to the "sports car of the century", covering the 70-year history of the 300 SL racing car models from 1952 to the latest SL generation.

The Status and Recognition of Post-1992 Transnistria
Legally part of Moldova, Transnistria is sandwiched between that country and southern Ukraine. After the USSR broke up, its people's desire not to be governed by Moldova led to a 1992 war in which nearly 1,000 died; since then, it has maintained de facto independence, although it relies significantly on Russian economic, political and military support. Technically, there is still a conflict between Transnistria and Moldova, but this has become frozen and they enjoy reasonably civil relations.
Resulting from six years of research, during which the author made nine visits to the territory - where he interviewed politicians, judges, public servants, human rights lawyers, diplomats, police officers, academics, students and others - this book examines what the best future for Transnistria is and whether de jure independence is a viable solution.

O jazýček kratší
Jak vypadá pomsta podváděné ženy? Stačí si vše do posledního detailu promyslet a hra s lidskými osudy může začít…
Děj se točí kolem Aleny, Kamily a Gábiny, tří kamarádek již od základní školy.
Alena, vždy bystrá, chytrá, dalo by se říci i velmi přitažlivá třicetiletá účetní, s níž se dá mluvit o čemkoli, ať už s ní člověk naváže debatu o motorech nebo nových technologických procesech v mlékárně. Kamila, šarmantní a rázná brunetka, se ve škole nijak zvlášť dobře neučila, ale nakonec - tak jak to už v životě bývá - dopadla z celé bývalé třídy nejlépe. Našla si dle svých netajených plánů vskutku impozantně zabezpečeného majitele místní továrny. A Gábina? Donedávna ještě spokojená mamina od dvou ratolestí s pár kily navíc. Nyní ovšem povadlá a unavená třicítka s pobledlou tváří kontrastující s hezkými jemnými rysy. Těžce se vyrovnává s manželovou nevěrou a s kamarádkami chystá (ne)adekvátní odvetu...

Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing
The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.
'Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And I should be dead.'
So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . . and so much more.
In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety. Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

The Secret Intelligence of Water
The Secret Intelligence of Water takes a quantum leap from the spring board of Masaru Emoto's microscopic work with ice crystals. Through macroscopic photography, and a groundbreaking new technique, researcher Veda Austin, allows us to view water as an intelligent force, with the power to respond to human consciousness in ways never before thought possible.
Focused on the stage between liquid and ice, Veda has spent the last eight years photographing water in a state of 'creation'. She uses in?uences such as words, thoughts, pictures or music pre freezing, and then captures water's liquid crystal response minutes later. For example, an image of a hand will appear in the ice after the thought of a hand was sent to the water.... even simple words have manifested into form!
These amazing results suggest that water is intentionally communicating through artistic, intelligent design. The substantial visual evidence seen in this book supports the indigenous knowledge systems across the planet, that regard water as a living being.
Veda believes that an emotional connection to water is key to creating change in the way we treat our natural world. She says, "If we think water can feel, we will care for it. If we think it is intelligent, we will learn from it."
