Önéletrajz
Szent Teréz 1873. január 2-án Alenconban (Franciaország-Normandia) született. 15 évesen lépett a Lisieux-i kármelita zárdába. 1890-ben tett fogadalmat. Alázatos, evangéliumi egyszerűségű és Istenben bízó szerzetes volt. Szavával és példájával ezekre az erényekre tanította az újoncokat is. A lelkek üdvéért és az Egyház terjedéséért ajánlva fel életét 1897. szeptember 30-án halt meg.
XI. Piusz pápa 1923-ban boldoggá, 1925-ben pedig szentté avatta, majd ugyanazon év december 14-én a missziók védőszentjévé nyilvánította. II. János Pál pápa pedig 1997. október 19-én egyháztanító címmel tisztelte meg. Október 1-jén van az ünnepe.

Dorehodoro 1
Caiman was not lucky. A sorcerer cursed him with a reptile head and left him with no memory of his life before the transformation. Adding to the mystery, there's a spectre of a man living inside him. But Caiman has one key advantage: he's now completely immune to magic. Along with his best friend, Nikaido, Caiman is hunting down sorcerers in the Hole, searching for the one who can undo his curse and killing the rest. But when En, the head Sorcerer, of the sorcerers, gets word of a lizard-man slaughtering sorcerers, he sends a crew of "cleaners" into the Hole, igniting a war between two worlds.

Wild Animals Sound Book
From a wolf howling on a remote mountaintop to a macaw squawking in the deepest jungle, this engrossing sound book takes children on a journey to some of the wildest places on Earth and lets them hear the amazing animals who live there.
American Music
It looks like a gorgeous nostalgia trip to judge by the cover image alone. The photo is of an old school record player that lies unplugged, a white label test-pressing waiting on the turntable, while a band of paper wrapped around the cover announces the title in ye olde woodblock-looking type, American Music. A reading of the small type on the back cover reveals the image to be the very record and turntable left in Elvis Presley’s bedroom the day he died, and the mind reels, thinking about whether the King listened to this record on that day or not, and who are the Stamps, anyway? An excellent selection of musician portraits interspersed with crumbly wooden jook joints and wide open fields in the South, American Music covers a wide gamut of jazz, blues, punk, country, hip-hop, rock and roll, folk and gospel musicians. And while most of the pictures were shot between 1999 and 2002, some go back to the early 1970s, when Leibovitz first became Rolling Stone magazine's chief photographer. Some of the artists are very well-known (Michael Stipe, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan) and some of them are not (Jessie Mae Hemphill, Other Turner, Carlos Coy). Leibovitz really has a way of relaxing her performers, and this is a great part of her gift. Even when the pictures are so posed as to be ridiculous (like, what's Michael Stipe doing on that bedbug-ridden mattress—-the guy's a billionaire?), she catches her subjects at their most "real." They are lost in their music, or just doing some "real person" thing (look, there is Beck in his car—does Beck really drive his own car?). The presentation may be a little hokey, but this book is sure to please most any music fan. --Mike McGonigal

Transition
Imagine a world that is one of infinite parallel worlds, that hangs suspended between triumph and catastrophe, the dismantling of the Wall and the fall of the Twin Towers, in the shadow of suicide terrorism and global financial collapse. Presiding over this world is the Concern, an all-powerful organisation whose operatives possess extraordinary powers. There is Temudjin Oh, an unkillable assassin who journeys between the high passes of Nepal, a version of Victorian London and a wintry Venice; Adrian Cubbish, restlessly greedy City trader; and the Philosopher, a state-sponsored torturer who moves between the time zones with sinister ease. Transition is a high-definition, hyper-real apocalyptic fable for terrible times.

Emlékek és rejtélyek
A második világháború végeztével igen sokan elmenekültek Magyarországról. Nekünk a legszűkebb családi körön kívül mindenkivel megszakadt a kapcsolatunk. Amikor elkezdtem gyűjteni a világ minden tájára szétszóródott, rég eltűnt rokonok címeit, rádöbbentem: az én nemzedékemből már nem sokan maradtunk olyanok, akik még visszaemlékezhetnek a régi időkre. Korábban is a család legidősebb tagjai mesélték el emlékeiket a következő nemzedékeknek. Amit én hallottam a nagyszüleimtől, az jobbára még a 19. században történt. Egy mozgalmas korszakba szeretnék bepillantást engedni olvasóimnak részint személyes, részint családi, részint történelmi eseményeken keresztül. A Békés megyei Póstelken születtem 1926-ban, és a keresztségben a Károlyi Krisztina Mária Franciska Ilona Zsófia nevet kaptam. Grófkisasszony voltam, gyerekkoromban Dittának becéztek, mivel az öcsém nem tudta kimondani az első keresztnevem becenevét, a Krisztát. Mióta 1948-ban Angliába érkeztem, utolsó keresztnevem angol változatát, a Sophie-t használom - kezdi a ,,családtörténetet" a szerző, aztán keresztül-kasul vágtat a történelmen, és megrajzolja a teljes Károlyi famíliát a kora középkortól a jelenig, vagyis előtérbe kerülnek az élő Károlyi leszármazottak krónikái is. A pazar képanyaggal összeállított album mondhatni teljes repertoár, az események és legendák, a várak és kastélyok, a bálok és politikai szerepek bemutatása okán amolyan kis magyar történelmet olvashatunk e lenyűgöző kiadványban, melynek fókuszában fejezetenként a család legérdekesebb történetei állnak: így a kötet bárhol fellapozható, tetszőlegesen olvasható.
A különleges kiadvány egyedi és hiánypótló reprezentatív munka, melyben mintegy félezer színes és fekete-fehér kép kalauzol végig az évszázadokon és ismeretlen történeteken, főispánok, hadvezérek, mecénások, miniszterek, valamint miniszterelnök és köztársasági elnök titkain keresztül.
Ének évada
"Három kisregény került ebbe a kötetbe. Az Én és én egészen ifjúkori munka, húszas éveim végén írtam (1979), miután eltöltöttem egy szűk hetet Bábolnán, az akkori szocializmus kiemelt állami gazdaságában, mely állattenyésztésre szakosodott, sorozatgyártott boldogtalan csirkétől sikeres versenylóig.
Az Emily néni szakálla címűt tizennégy évvel később írtam (1993). Angoltanfolyamra jártunk Kepes Andrással, mely nagyjából a kisregényben olvasható módszerrel próbált középfokú tudáshoz juttatni bennünket, egy hónap alatt. Nem bentlakásosan, csak bejárósan. A siker elmaradt. Eléggé filmszerűnek éreztem a témát, és egy darabig fontolgatta az Objektív Stúdió, hogy lecsapjon rá, végül ez elmaradt, már nem emlékszem rá, miért. Az, hogy miképpen zajlott az ilyesmi a magyar filmgyártásban, a következő kisregény egyik fejezetében valamelyest körvonalazódik.
A Márkez meg én újabb tizenegy év múltán született (2003-4). Ez volt az első szemérmes kísérlet valamiféle önéletrajzi szöveg létrehozására
. Ihletője a spanyol nyelv volt, melyet nagy erőkkel igyekeztem magamba szívni, mert el akartam olvasni eredetiben a Száz év magány című regényt. Sikerült. Gabriel García Márquezt közeli szellemi rokonomnak éreztem és érzem. Képe a konyhában lóg, azon a falon, ahol a családtagjaim fotói..." (a Szerző)

Growing Together
A brand-new set of refreshingly off-beat picture books from the best-selling author of Everyone Poops From best-selling children's author Taro Gomi comes a set of four new books: Playing, Imagining, Growing, and Sharing. Each book features a different pair of family members loving and learning from one another...seasoned with the honesty, warmth, and eccentricity that Gomi so beautifully delivers. A little boy imagines the journeys that he and his father go on together; a little girl speculates about her mother's life before she became a mom; an older brother thinks back to when he was the baby; and sisters attempt to halve and share everything in their path. Each humorously narrated story is as messy, unpredictable, and endearing as everyday life with a child! Created for ages 2-5 years
