Two Can Keep a Secret
A perfect town is hiding secrets.
Two teenagers are dead. Two murders unsolved. And a killer who claims to be coming back.
Ellery's never been to Echo Ridge, but she's heard all about it.
It's where her aunt went missing at age sixteen, never to return.
Where a Homecoming Queen's murder five years ago made national news.
And where Ellery now has to live with a grandmother she barely knows, after her failed-actress mother lands in rehab.
_____
Malcolm grew up in the shadow of the Homecoming Queen's death.
His older brother was the prime suspect and left Echo Ridge in disgrace.
His mother's remarriage vaulted them to Echo Ridge's upper crust, but it could all change when mysterious threats around town hint that a killer plans to strike again.
And the return of Malcolm's brother doesn't help matters. But his return is just a coincidence... isn't it?
Ellery and Malcolm both know it's hard to let go when you don't have closure.
Then another girl disappears.
As they race to unravel what happened, they realise every secret has layers in Echo Ridge. The truth might be closer to home than either of them want to believe.
And somebody would kill to keep it hidden.
Súmrak právneho štátu
Do histórie slovenskej spravodlivosti po roku 1989 sa vládnutie matovičovskej partokracie zapíše ako obdobie temna. Toľko sektárskeho fanatizmu, nenávisti, krivenia práva. Politickej vendety a toľko štatistických obvinení zo založenia, zosnovania a podporovania zločineckých skupín by sme nenašli ani v histórii mafiánskej enklávy na Sicílii. Akurát na Slovensku na rozdiel od Sicílie sú nositeľmi usvedčujúcich dôkazov falošní svedkovia.
Kniha Súmrak právneho štátu je pokračovaním publikácie Byť kajúcnikom sa oplatí, v ktorej autor nekompromisne komentuje prax využívania nezákonných, priam obludných nátlakových prostriedkov orgánov činných v trestnom konaní voči obvineným verejným činiteľom, opozičným politikom, podnikateľom, advokátom i sudcom. To všetko sa deje v súčinnosti ministra vnútra, špeciálnej prokuratúry, skupiny vyšetrovateľov NAKA a médií hlavného prúdu v štýle Josepha Goebbelsa, ríšskeho ministra pre ľudovú osvetu a propagandu: ,, Dajte mi do rúk médiá a ja z národa urobím stádo svíň.“

Stavitelia v živočíšnej ríši
Živočíchy sú v architektúre majstri! V tomto atlase nájdete ich najskvostnejšie výtvory.
Človeka odjakživa fascinovala príroda a jej zákonitosti. Odnepamäti skúmal vlastnosti a správanie živočíchov aj ich monumentálne stavby. Živočíšna ríša je nevyčerpateľným zdrojom poznatkov, ktoré možno využiť v praxi. V tomto atlase nájdete ich najskvostnejšie výtvory, navštívite nadzemné aj podzemné stavby, spoznáte obydlia na vode i pod ňou, objavíte skromné domčeky a malé skrýše, ale aj veľké sídliská, prenosné úkryty či dočasné príbytky. Medzi množstvom príkladov nechýba hniezdo krajčírika ušité z listov, hniezdo salangany bielobruchej vytvorené zo slín, hniezdna kopa tabona hnedého, špajza tesárika dubového, obrovská stavba družníka vrabcovitého, besiedka záhradkára bezchochlatého, papierové hniezdo ôs, mosty a plte bojových mravcov, pasce pavúkov, prístrešky lariev potočníka, hniezda včiel, čmeľov, termitov a iného hmyzu, rozľahlé nory rypošov lysých, jamky a valy lezcov obojživelných, hrady bobrov, tunely krtov a všeličo iné.
Kniha uvádza množstvo zaujímavých príkladov z najrôznejších kútov sveta, v skutočnosti však za pozoruhodnými zvieracími stavbami a obydliami vôbec netreba chodiť ďaleko – stačí sa vybrať do lesa.
Pripomíname, že počas prechádzky lesom nesmieme zabudnúť, že sme na návšteve. Správajme sa úctivo, nezahadzujme odpadky, nič nelámme ani netrhajme a nerušme lesných obyvateľov.

Swamp Songs
From Romney Marsh to the Danube Delta, North Carolina to the Bay of Bengal, Tom Blass explores swamps, marshes and wetlands - and the people who have made these twilit worlds their homes.
Oozing with bad airs, boggarts and other spirits, the world's marshes and swamps are often seen as sinister, permanently twilit - and only partly of this earth. For centuries, they - and their inhabitants - have been the object of our distrust. We have tried to drain away their demons and tame them, destroying their fragile beauty, botany and birdlife, along with the carefully calibrated lives of those who have come to understand and thrive in them.
In Swamp Songs, Tom Blass journeys through a series of such watery landscapes, from Romney Marsh to North Carolina, from Lapland to the Danube Delta and on to the Bay of Bengal, encountering those whose very existence has been shaped by wetlands, their myths and hidden histories. Here are tales of shepherds, smugglers and salt-gatherers; of mangroves and machismo, frogs and fishermen. And of carp soup, tiger gods, flamingos and floods.
A dazzling exploration of lives lived on the fringes of civilisation, Swamp Songs is a vital reappraisal and vibrant celebration of people and environments closely intertwined.
