Fakta o Finsku
Další román oblíbeného norského autora Erlenda Loea, který vychází česky, plyne jako voda, jako voda ovšem neplyne plnění úkolu, který na sebe vzal jeho hlavní hrdina trpící fobií z vody – napsat brožuru o Finsku, jež by měla do této krásné země přilákat statisíce Norů, když o Finsku vůbec nic neví, nikdy tam nebyl, a co se týče cestování, je toho názoru, že lidé by se měli zdržovat raději doma. Není to tedy ani trochu snadná věc a situaci mu navíc ztěžují nejrůznější překážky v podobě neustále odtahovaného auta, vztahu, který naváže na odtahovém parkovišti se Sestrou, nebo záchranné výpravy pro Sestřina mladšího bratra Bima, jenž trvá na tom, aby se mu říkalo Skarphedin.

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."

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.

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.

O trůn i o život
I tentokrát se v nich setkáváme s dominikánem Pavlem, záhadným agentem Karla IV., jakožto hybatelem dějinných událostí. První román začíná příchodem uprchlého římského tribuna Coly di Rienzo, který chce získat Karla IV. pro podporu zamýšleného obnovení slávy Říma a sjednocení Itálie. Římského a českého krále tato myšlenka láká a na jedné válečné výpravě se rozhodne vydat se inkognito jen s několika průvodci právě do Itálie, aby se zúčastnil rytířského turnaje. Druhý román nás zavádí do roku 1354, kdy hodlá Karel IV. završit svou politickou kariéru ziskem císařské koruny. To ale nejde tak hladce, jak si původně představoval.
Pod společným názvem vycházejí v novém vydání dva historické romány Smrt na jazyku a K výšinám císařského trůnu.
