The World Of Butterflies
We can see them fly gracefully from flower to flower with their multi-coloured wings: they are butterflies, the most admired and collected of insects; like bees, they are vital for plant pollination, which is why we have recently started protecting them as their numbers are significantly dwindling. Through this book you will get to know them better, explore their physiology, their defence and reproduction mechanisms and their most noteworthy features, and uncover the secrets behind the complicated patterns and amazing colours that characterize their appearance. We will also focus on the dangers that these wonderful insects face today due to pollution and human intervention that is putting at serious risk the life ofa species that we need to protect at any cost, for example by following the instructions at the end of the book that explain how to set out your garden or balcony in order to attract - and help - these most heavenly insects.

Oblíbené leporelo pro nejmenší - tentokrát v angličtině! Konečně je tu zima! řekl si Krtek a vytáhl sáňky. Ale co to? Bílo je všude, ale sníh to není, jen jinovatka. Copak se dá na jinovatce sáňkovat? Na obloze je jen jediný mráček, mráček chudinka, z toho chumelit nebude, postěžoval si Krtek. Ale když se Krtek se sýkorkou postarali, aby se mráček napil vody, mráček rostl, mohutněl, až se z něj začaly sypat vločky, jedna pěknější než druhá. A sníh se sypal, až jim sáňky v závěji téměř zapadly.

The Picnic
A dramatic and intensely moving reconstruction of the greatest border breach in Cold War history and its tumultuous aftermath.
In August 1989, a group of Hungarian activists did the unthinkable: they entered the forbidden militarised zone of the Iron Curtain - and held a picnic.
Word had spread of what was going to happen. On wisps of rumour, thousands of East German 'holiday-makers' had made their way to the border between Hungary and Austria, awaiting an opportunity, fearing prison, surveilled by lurking Stasi agents. The stage was set for the greatest border breach in Cold War history: that day hundreds would cross from the Communist East to the longed-for freedom of the West. The fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Soviet Union - the so-called end of history - all would flow from those dramatic hours.
Drawing on dozens of original interviews with those involved - activists and border guards, escapees and secret police, as well as the last Communist prime minister of Hungary - Matthew Longo reconstructs this world-shaping event and its tumultuous aftermath. Freedom had been won but parents had been abandoned and families divided. Love affairs faltered and new lives had to be built from scratch.
The Picnic is the story of a moment when the tide of history turned. It shows how freedom can be both dream and disillusionment, and how all we take for granted can vanish in an instant.
World of Warcraft: Sylvanas
The epic, long-awaited definitive story of Sylvanas Windrunner, one of World of Warcraft's most enduring and iconic characters.
Ranger-General. Banshee Queen. Warchief. Sylvanas Windrunner has borne many titles. To some, she is a hero... to others, a villain. But whether in pursuit of justice, vengeance, or something more, Sylvanas has always sought to control her own destiny.
The power to achieve her goals has never been closer, as Sylvanas works alongside the Jailer to liberate all Azeroth from the prison of fate. Her final task? Secure the fealty of their prisoner King Anduin Wrynn.
To succeed, Sylvanas will be forced to reflect on the harrowing path that brought her to the Jailer's side, and reveal her truest self to her greatest rival. Here, Sylvanas' complete story is laid bare: from the breaking of the Windrunner family and her rise to Ranger-General; to her own death at the hands of Arthas and her renewed purpose in founding the Forsaken; to the moment she first beheld the Maw, and understood the true consequences of what lay beyond the veil of death. But as her moment of victory draws near, Sylvanas Windrunner will make a choice that may ultimately come to define her. A choice that's hers to make.

Then the cases started to multiply and what had looked like the stirrings of a criminal underclass, even the beginnings of a revolution, soon revealed itself to be much, much worse. Faced with a future of mindless, man-eating horror, humanity was forced to accept the logic of world government and face events that tested our sanity and our sense of reality.

A New World Begins
The principles of the French Revolution remain the only possible basis for a just society -- even if, after more than two hundred years, they are more contested than ever before. In A New World Begins, Jeremy D. Popkin offers a riveting account of the revolution that puts the reader in the thick of the debates and the violence that led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a new society. We meet Mirabeau, Robespierre, and Danton, in all of their brilliance and vengefulness; we witness the failed escape and execution of Louis XVI; we see women demanding equal rights and black slaves wresting freedom from revolutionaries who hesitated to act on their own principles; and we follow the rise of Napoleon out of the ashes of the Reign of Terror.
Based on decades of scholarship, A New World Begins is the definitive treatment of the French Revolution.

Berlin, 1940, and the city is filled with fear.

1946: The Making of the Modern World
With the end of the Second World War, a new world was born. The peace agreements that brought the conflict to an end implemented decisions that not only shaped the second half of the twentieth century, but continue to affect our world today and impact on its future. In 1946 the Cold War began, the state of Israel was conceived, the independence of India was all but confirmed and Chinese Communists gained a decisive upper hand in their fight for power. It was a pivotal year in modern history in which countries were reborn and created, national and ideological boundaries were redrawn and people across the globe began to rebuild their lives. In this remarkable history, the foreign correspondent and historian Victor Sebestyen draws on contemporary documents from around the world - including Stalin's personal notes from the Potsdam peace conference - to examine what lay behind the political decision-making. Sebestyen uses a vast array of archival material and personal testimonies to explore how the lives of generations of people across continents were shaped by the events of 1946. Taking readers from Berlin to London, from Paris to Moscow, from Washington to Jerusalem and from Delhi to Shanghai, this is a vivid and wide-ranging account of both powerbrokers and ordinary men and women from an acclaimed author.

The Cold War - A World History
Masterly ... a book of resounding importance for appraising our global future as well as understanding our past' Richard Davenport-Hines, The Times Literary Supplement, Books of the Year
'A masterful survey that will set the standard for Cold War scholarship for years to come' Jonathan Steele, London Review of Books
As Germany and then Japan surrendered in 1945 there was a tremendous hope that a new and much better world could be created from the moral and physical ruins of the conflict. Instead, the combination of the huge power of the USA and USSR and the near-total collapse of most of their rivals created a unique, grim new environment: the Cold War.
For over forty years the demands of the Cold War shaped the life of almost all of us. There was no part of the world where East and West did not, ultimately, demand a blind and absolute allegiance, and nowhere into which the West and East did not reach. Countries as remote from each other as Korea, Angola and Cuba were defined by their allegiances. Almost all civil wars became proxy conflicts for the superpowers. Europe was seemingly split in two indefinitely.
Arne Westad's remarkable new book is the first to have the distance from these events and the ambition to create a convincing, powerful narrative of the Cold War. The book is genuinely global in its reach and captures the dramas and agonies of a period always overshadowed by the horror of nuclear war and which, for millions of people, was not 'cold' at all: a time of relentless violence, squandered opportunities and moral failure.

The Untamed 2: A démoni kultiváció nagymestere
A The untamed sorozat második kötete
Yiling pátriárkája, Wei Wuxian életét veszti a Luanzang-domb ostromában.
Mindenki a vesztét akarta, átkozták, amiért fellázadt és dühöngve tombolt. Örömmel fogadta a halálát az egész kultivátorvilág.
Wei Wuxian talán nem is lehetne elégedettebb, hogy magányosan kóborló lélek lehet, tizen-egynéhány év elteltével mégis megidézik és új testbe kényszerítik. Nem tehet mást, vissza kell térnie ebbe a világba! Titkolni próbálja ugyan új testében az igazi kilétét, de váratlan események folytán a Gusu Lan klánhoz tartozó Lan Wangji magával viszi a klánja otthonába.
Bármennyire meg volt is győződve mindenki, hogy a démoni kultiváció nagymestere úgy elpusztult, hogy még holttestet sem hagyott maga után, Wei Wuxian újjászületik, és újra szembenézhet a hajdanán őt legyőző kultivátorklánok tagjaival. Azonban még ennél is nagyobb probléma, hogy a korábban konzervatív és rugalmatlan Lan Wangji immáron mindent megtesz, hogy maga mellett tartsa, nyugodtan viseli a piszkálódásait és incselkedéseit.
Vajon mit akar tőle Lan Wangji, ez a kiemelkedő kultivátor? És mit kezdjen a másikkal ő maga?
Egy varázslatos történet hatalomról és háborúról, hűségről és árulásról, barátságról és szeretetről, sorsról és döntésekről.
A regény több százezer példányban fogyott könyvben, és sok millió letöltésben e-könyvben, a sorozatot pedig, amelyet a Netflix is vetít, több milliárdszor töltötték már le a streamingoldalakról.
