Killing Moon
This killer will get inside your head...
The hunt is on and the police are running out of time. Two women are missing, their only connection being they attended the same party, hosted by a notorious real-estate magnate. When one of the women is found murdered, the police discover an unusual signature left by the killer, giving them reason to suspect he will strike again. They're facing a killer unlike any other. And catching him calls for a detective like no other. But the legendary Harry Hole is gone. Struck off the force, down and out in Los Angeles, it seems that nothing can entice him back to Oslo. Until the woman who saved Harry's life is put in grave danger, and he has no choice but to return to the city that haunts him and hunt for the murderer.
To catch him will push Harry to the limit. He'll need to bring together a misfit team of former operatives to do what he can't do alone: stop an unstoppable killer. But as the evidence mounts, it becomes clear that there is more to this case than meets the eye...
And for Harry, this just got personal.

Redman Joshua - Where Are We CD
Joshua Redman sa narodil v Berkeley v Kalifornii jazzovému saxofonistovi Deweymu Redmanovi a tanečnici a knihovníčke Renee Shedroff. V Centre for World Music v Berkeley, kde jeho matka študovala juhoindický tanec, bol vystavený mnohým druhom hudby. Niektoré z jeho prvých lekcií hudby a improvizácie boli na zobcovej flaute s hráčom gamelanu Jody Diamondom. Už v ranom veku bol vystavený rôznym hudbám a nástrojom a v deviatich rokoch začal hrať na klarinet a o rok neskôr prešiel na to, čo sa stalo jeho primárnym nástrojom, tenor saxofón. Redman cituje Johna Coltranea, Ornette Colemana, Cannonball Adderleyho, jeho otca Deweyho Redmana, ako aj Beatles, Arethu Franklin, The Temptations, Earth, Wind and Fire, Prince, The Police a Led Zeppelin ako hudobné vplyvy.
Joshua Redman debutuje na Blue Note s jeho vôbec prvým vokálnym projektom, v ktorom účinkujú vokalistka Gabrielle Cavassa, klavirista Aaron Parks, basgitarista Joe Sanders a bubeník Brian Blade plus špeciálni hostia Nicholas Payton na trúbke a Kurt Rosenwinkel na gitare, Peter Bernstein na gitare a Joel Ross na vibrafóne. Vo svojom jadre je album oslavou aj kritikou Ameriky – každá skladba je o konkrétnej geografickej polohe v Spojených štátoch – ale v rôznej miere je to aj album balád, štandardný album, album romantickej túžby, album sociálnej reflexie, album melodickej invencie a album improvizačného dobrodružstva.

Ruin and Rising - Pusztulás és felemelkedés - kemény kötés
Az ország sora egy megtört idézőn, egy kegyvesztett nyomkeresőn és egy egykori nagy mágikus sereg szétvert maradványain múlik.
Az Éjúr árnytrónján ülve uralkodik, míg a meggyengült és sebesült Alina Sztarkov igyekszik felépülni, az őt szentként imádó Apparátus kétes védelme alatt. Minden reményét egy rég eltűnt ősi lény mágiájába veti, és abba az esélybe, hogy egy bizonyos törvényen kívüli herceg még életben van.
Ahogy a szövetségesei és az ellenségei a háborúba sodródnak, egyedül Alina áll az ország és világ örök rabságával fenyegető, áradó sötétség között. Hogy megnyerje ezt a harcot, meg kell szereznie egy legendás lény hatalmát - ám a tűzmadár utáni hajsza váratlan fordulatot tartogat.

Fools Frauds and Firebrands Thinkers of the New Left
The thinkers who have been most influential on the attitudes of the New Left are examined in this study by one of the leading critics of leftist orientations in modern Western civilization. Scruton begins with a ruthless analysis of New Leftism and concludes with a critique of the key strands in its thinking. He conducts a reappraisal of such major left-wing thinkers as: E. P. Thompson, Ronald Dworkin, R. D. Laing, Jurgen Habermas, Gyorgy Lukacs, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida, Slavoj Zizek, Ralph Milliband and Eric Hobsbawm. In addition to assessments of these thinkers' philosophical and political contributions, the book contains a biographical and bibliographical section summarizing their careers and most important writings. In Thinkers of the New Left Scruton asks, what does the Left look like today and as it has evolved since 1989? He charts the transfer of grievances from the working class to women, gays and immigrants, asks what can we put in the place of radical egalitarianism, and what explains the continued dominance of antinomian attitudes in the intellectual world? Can there be any foundation for resistance to the leftist agenda without religious faith? Scruton's exploration of these important issues is written with skill, perception and at all times with pellucid clarity. The result is a devastating critique of modern left-wing thinking.
