The Prairie
The Prairie: A Tale (1827) is a historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper, the third novel written by him featuring Natty Bumppo, his fictitious frontier hero, who is simply known as "the trapper" in it. Chronologically The Prairie is the fifth and final installment of the Leatherstocking Tales. It depicts Natty in the final year of his life still proving helpful to people in distress on the American frontier. Continuity with The Last of the Mohicans is indicated by the appearance of the grandson of Duncan and Alice Heyward of The Last of the Mohicans and the noble Pawnee chief Hard Heart, whose name is English for the French nickname for the Delaware, le Coeur-dur. Natty is drawn to Hard Heart as a noble warrior in the likeness of his dear friend Uncas, "the last of the Mohicans."

Book of Seeds
"A sumptuous guide to 600 of the world's weirdest and most beautiful species, from the black seed with hair like Donald Trump to pinhead-sized orchid seeds." - The Guardian
"The book drives home the incredible botanical wealth that is found on our precious blue planet." - The English Garden
True time capsules of life, seeds are significant items of hope and promise. They are the most complex organs plants ever produce, and come in an enormously diverse range of shapes, sizes, and colours; from the impressive coco de mer nut to the microscopic seeds of an orchid, to the extraordinary cobalt blue of the traveller's palm pit.
Seeds are often overshadowed by the adult plant's size and show. Here, 600 seeds are spotlit, each given equal attention, each shown as glorious photographs, life size and in detail, alongside an engraving of the parent plant. Every profile includes a population distribution map, a table of essential information, and a commentary revealing notable characteristics, related species, and a diagnosis of the specimen's importance in terms of taxonomy, rarity, dispersal method, and scientific significance. Arranged taxonomically, this essential reference reveals the variety and importance of seeds to an extent never seen before.

Patrik Schick: Střelec za miliardu
Vyhlášený snajpr Bayeru Leverkusen a také pěti prestižních evropských lig, dříve rovněž Sampdorie Janov, AS Řím, Lipska, ale také fotbalista Sparty a Bohemians, se zaskvěl zejména na EURO 2020. S pěti góly se společně s Cristianem Ronaldem stal střelcem turnaje. Jednoho z nejlepších fotbalistů historie však předčil právě svým dalekonosným až bájným lobem, pomalu padesátimetrovým, do sítě Skotů, nejkrásnějším zásahem šampionátu, skutečně střelou roku.
“Dostal se ke mně odražený balon, už během zápasu jsem se koukal, kde stojí gólman. Periferně jsem se podíval, viděl jsem, že je venku, a prásknul to tam.”
Patrik, stále jen šestadvacetiletý, se vypracoval na forvarda světového formátu, sledují ho pomalu všechny excelentní kluby včetně Paris Saint-Germain. Jen si představme, že by nastupoval po boku Messiho a Neymara! A proč by ne, vždyť je komplexním fotbalistou a k tomu kanonýrem, skvělým technikem, který zakončuje oběma nohama, nemálo gólů střílí hlavou. V bundeslize dokáže střelecky soutěžit s takovou star, jakou je snajpr Bayernu Robert Lewandowski, nejlepší hráč FIFA posledních dvou let.
“Pro mě bylo EURO povedeným turnajem,” svěřil Patrik Schick. “Ovšem všichni víme, že jsme při troše štěstí mohli být ještě výše. Učinili jsme maximum, v závěru zápasu s Dány jsme už neměli sílu ho zvrátit.”
Bez Patrika si sestavu Čechů jen těžko dokáže představit Jaroslav Šilhavý. Národnímu kouči a týmu Česka výrazně pomohl vyválčit na Evropě čtvrfinále a nyní se k prvnímu střelci upínají naděje v zápase se Švédy o účast na světovém šampionátu 2022 v Kataru. V průběhu roku Patrik může navíc poměřit své schopnosti právě s Cristianem Ronaldem či Álvaro Moratou v utkáních Ligy národů s Portugalskem a Španělskem.
“Hráčům jsme po prohraném čtvrfinále s Dánskem poděkovali. Na EURO jsme hráli na hranici svých možností a pracovali na něm jako tým. Osobně naši účast na šampionátu hodnotím jako úspěch. Co jsme dokázali, je úžasné,” řekl Jaroslav Šilhavý. “Naši hráči celý šampionát odmakali, vydali se na turnaji na 150 procent a zaslouží si absolutorium.”
Kouč, který národní mužstvu vyzvedl z šedivého průměrně a výtečně tým pro turnaj vyladil, nechtěl nikoho vyzvedávat, ale je nad slunce jasné, že stěžejní oporou se stal Patrik Schick.
Právě jeho, bezpochyby nejlepšího fotbalistu Česka současnosti, představuje tato originální výpravná kniha obohacená plakátem. Vznikla ve spolupráci s fotbalovým měsíčníkem Hattrick a je věnována všem fanouškům české fotbalové reprezentace a fotbalu vůbec.

Az égi hivatalnok áldása 5. - A The Untamed sorozat alapjául szolgáló regény szerzőjétől
Nyolc évszázaddal ezelőtt Xie Liant, a Xianle királyság koronahercegét rajongásig szerették az alattvalói, senki sem vetélkedhetett a népszerűségével. A herceg már fiatalon az égbe emelkedett, ám szerencsétlen körülményeknek köszönhetően hamarosan visszakerült a halandók világába. Néhány évvel később újra felemelkedett, de ezúttal csak néhány percet tölthetett odafent, és megint a mélybe zuhant.
Nyolcszáz év elteltével Xie Lian harmadszorra is az égbe emelkedik, hogy az ég császárától kapott első megbízatása során egy a szellemeknek parancsoló titokzatos démonnal hozza össze a sors. A koronaherceg nem is sejti, hogy a démon már milyen régóta szemmel tartja őt.
A Heaven Official's Blessing varázslatos történet a The Untamed szerzőjétől, a halandók és az égiek világáról, hűségről és árulásról, barátságról és szeretetről, sorsról és döntésekről.
The Journals of Captain James Cook
Cook led three famous expeditions to the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1779. In voyages that ranged from the Antarctic circle to the Arctic Sea, Cook charted Australia and the whole coast of New Zealand, and brought back detailed descriptions of the natural history of the Pacific. Accounts based on Cook's journals were issued at the time, but it was not until this century that the original journals were published in Beaglehole's definitive edition. The Journals tells the story of these voyages as Cook wanted it to be told, radiating the ambition, courage and skill which enabled him to carry out an unrivalled series of expeditions in dangerous waters.
