The Elephant in the Room
eelings travel even when people cant...Its been almost a year since Silas mum travelled halfway around the world to Turkey, hoping to secure the immigration paperwork that would allow her to return to her family in the United States.The long separation is almost impossible for Sila to bear. But things change when Sila accompanies her father (who is a mechanic) outside their Oregon town to fix a truck. There, behind an enormous stone wall, she meets a grandfatherly man who only months before won the state lottery. Their new alliance leads to the rescue of a circus elephant named Veda, and then to a friendship with a unique boy named Mateo, proving that comfort and hope come in the most unlikely of places.A moving story of family separation and the importance of the connection between animals and humans, this novel has the enormous heart and uplifting humour that readers have come to expect from the beloved author of Counting by 7s.

The Beatles
Tato kniha je zcela nové ilustrované vydání nejprodávanější autorizované biografie The Beatles doplněné o nejnovější informace. Více než třicet let po prvním vydání a přes miliony slov, která byla od té doby o The Beatles publikována, je tato podrobná kniha Huntera Daviese stále jedinou autorizovanou biografií nejlegendárnější a nejvlivnější popové skupiny. Hunter Davies jako první a poslední spisovatel, který měl neomezený přístup ke všem čtyřem členům legendárních Beatles a jemuž se od nich dostalo plné podpory a pomoci, s nimi v letech 1967–68 strávil osmnáct měsíců, když byli jako skupina hudebně na vrcholu, a sbíral materiál, který dle Marshalla McLuhana vytvoří "dokument našeho století".
Autor strávil čas jak s The Beatles, tak dělal rozhovory s mnoha jejich blízkými přáteli a kamarády, kolegy, bývalými členy kapely, manželkami a bývalými manželkami. Jeho fascinující kniha zachycuje skupinu na vrcholu úspěchu, a to, jak se dostala do popředí veřejného zájmu, vysvětluje autentickými slovy jednotlivých členů skupiny či slovy těch, kteří s nimi tenkrát tento fenomenální úspěch prožívali.
Hunter Davies zůstal přítelem The Beatles i poté, co původní kniha vyšla, což mu umožnilo, aby knihu doplnil o rozsáhlou závěrečnou kapitolu, popisující, jak a proč se skupina rozpadla, zároveň tak mohl popsat nejnovější osudy a vývoj jejích členů a smrt Johna Lennona. Také odhaluje, jak byla tato kniha sepsaná a uvádí příběhy, které v prvním vydání uvést nemohl.Toto nové vydání Daviesova nepopiratelně celosvětového bestselleru je poprvé v hojné míře ilustrované a obsahuje dodatečně přidané fotografie, které nemohly být publikovány v roce 1968.
V revidovaném úvodu autor pohlíží na skutečnost, jak The Beatles a jejich hudba nadále ovlivňují miliony lidí na celém světě, říká nám, co stále žijící členové kapely dělali v letech po posledním vydání této práce, a zachycuje i smrt George Harrisona. Toto je zcela nepostradatelné čtení pro všechny fanoušky The Beatles, pro ty starší – i pro ty nové.

The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land
A divorced con-artist and his young daughter sell empty bottles of 'holy' air to credulous tourists.
In a bombed-out Beirut radio station, a Lebanese Scheherazade enchants three young soldiers with her nightly tales.
Ahead of a school 'Show and Tell', two brothers kidnap a Shoah survivor from a supermarket to pose as their grandfather.
An Israeli volunteer at a West Bank checkpoint mourns the death of her son, a soldier killed in Gaza.
From the limestone alleyways of Jerusalem to the desolate Negev Desert and the sprawling orange groves of Jaffa, Omer Friedlander's stories are fairy tales turned on their head by the stakes of real life, where moments of fragile intimacy mix with comedy and notes of the absurd.
Casting his eye, not on the region's conflicts, but on the hopes and failures of its people, The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land is at times darkly funny, at others quietly devastating.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone
"This special edition of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has a gorgeous new cover illustration by Kazu Kibuishi. Inside is the full text of the original novel, with decorations by Mary GrandPre. "Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility. All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley -- a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years. But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry -- and anyone who reads about him -- will find unforgettable. For it's there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.

The Wolf and the Woodsman
Stories don't have to be true to be real...
In her forest-veiled pagan village, Evike is the only woman without power, making her an outcast clearly abandoned by the gods. When soldiers arrive from the Holy Order of Woodsmen to claim a pagan girl for the king's blood sacrifice, Evike is betrayed by her fellow villagers and surrendered.
But when monsters attack the Woodsmen and their captive en route, slaughtering everyone but Evike and the cold, one-eyed captain, they have no choice but to rely on each other. Except he's no ordinary Woodsman - he's the disgraced prince, Gaspar Barany, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power. Gaspar fears that his cruelly zealous brother plans to seize the throne and instigate a violent reign that would damn the pagans and the Yehuli alike. As the son of a reviled foreign queen, Gaspar understands what it's like to be an outcast, and he and Evike make a tenuous pact to stop his brother.
As their mission takes them from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked capital, their mutual loathing slowly turns to affection, bound by a shared history of alienation and oppression. However, trust can easily turn to betrayal, and as Evike reconnects with her estranged father and discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gaspar need to decide whose side they're on, and what they're willing to give up for a nation that never cared for them at all.

Lacná kniha The Maths of Life and Death
Maths is the story of the world around us, and the wisdom it gives us can be the difference between success and disaster.
We are all doing maths all the time, from the way we communicate with each other to the way we travel, from how we work to how we relax. Many of us are aware of this. But few of us really appreciate the full power of maths - the extent to which its influence is not only in every office and every home, but also in every courtroom and hospital ward.
In this eye-opening and extraordinary book, Yates explores the true stories of life-changing events in which the application - or misapplication - of mathematics has played a critical role: patients crippled by faulty genes and entrepreneurs bankrupted by faulty algorithms; innocent victims of miscarriages of justice and the unwitting victims of software glitches. We follow stories of investors who have lost fortunes and parents who have lost children, all because of mathematical misunderstandings.
Along the way, Yates arms us with simple mathematical rules and tools that can help us make better decisions in our increasingly quantitative society. You will discover why it's always sensible to question a statistic, often vital to ask for a second opinion and sometimes surprisingly handy to stick to the 37% rule...
