Save the Humans - Manifesto for Creative Thinking in the Digital Age
Smart Phones, Healthcare Robots, Wearable Computers and Self Driving Cars. They are arriving or already exists. We are becoming increasingly intimate with the machines that constantly count, control and watch the way we live. How can the growing world population of more than 7 billion people create a humane life for everyone? Let s find the errors and the holes in the technosphere that will give us space for free and creative thinking. What s at stake here is the remains of human agency. Let s use the brain pixels that are not taken yet. And Save the Humans! The contributors to curate the strongest quotes they can find on the subject. It made no difference whether they were written yesterday or a thousand years ago. From Plato to Marshall McLuhan to Mark Zuckerberg. The aim was to make a selection of quotes that currently question the autonomy of mankind in the digital computer era, and study the future of the independent creative spirit. The main questions are: -What is the significance of independent thinking in the networked society where everything and everyone is connected? -What is the influence of technology on humanity? -Do software standards, templates and algorithms stimulate creativity? -Does the digital domain make our world larger? Or is every space pixel a danger for the free spirit? Is there any communication without control?

Building for Hope
Marwa al Sabouni was a little-known architect, living in battle-ravaged Homs, unable to practice her profession as the buildings and the lives around her and across Syria were reduced to rubble. Rather than flee her country, like so many of her compatriots, she remained, committed to the belief that the multilayered and multifaceted society she grew up in was worth rebuilding. She turned her fierce intelligence to chronicling how her city and country were undone through decades of architectural mismanagement and mistakes.
The result was The Battle for Home. Published in 2016, the book and her story attracted the attention of international news media and received critical acclaim around the world. She became a TED fellow; some suggested she be nominated for architecture's highest honour, the Pritzker Prize.
Until the book was published, al Sabouni had rarely travelled outside of her native country, but The Battle for Home gained her invitations to speak to audiences, institutes and experts across the world. Her travels, combined with her deep understanding of the Middle Eastern heritage and values, provided al Sabouni with insights into a wide range of cities, which informed her views on how cities best work, how they might fail, and what can be done to enrich and harmonize the lives of all their inhabitants. This is a rich journey, drawing together several narratives: her personal observations of some of the world's most fascinating cities, from Detroit to Helsinki, from Bristol to Amsterdam; the lessons that Western societies might learn from Islamic culture; and philosophical reflections, drawing on a range of thinkers, on how our personal and communal spaces can provide the basic foundations for happiness. Through this rich tapestry of personal experience, unblinking perspective, and unsettling insight, al Sabouni offers the reader real-world solutions - and hope - for how the conditions for enduring peace might be created in an increasingly polarizing world.

Fifty Words for Snow
Snow. Every language has its own words for the magical, mesmerising flakes that fall from the sky. In this exquisite exploration, writer and Arctic traveller Nancy Campbell digs deep into the meanings of fifty words for snow.
In Japanese we encounter yuki-onna - a 'snow woman' who drifts through the frosted land. In Icelandic it is hundslappadrifa - 'snowflakes as big as a dog's paw' - that softly blanket the streets. And in Maori we meet Huka-rere - 'one of the children of rain and wind'.
From mountain tops and frozen seas to city parks and desert hills, each of these linguistic snow crystals offers a whole world of myth and story - the perfect winter gift.

The Heir – A koronahercegnő
Eadlyn hercegnő kislánykora óta hallhatta a véget nem érő történeteket arról, hogyan ismerkedett meg édesanyja az édesapjával. Húsz éve történt, hogy America Singer benevezett a Párválasztóba, és elnyerte Maxon herceg szívét, akivel azóta is boldogan éltek. Eadlyn mindig is igen romantikusnak találta szülei tündérmesébe illő történetét, habár soha eszébe nem jutott volna a nyomdokaikba lépni.

Xandria - The Wonders Still Awaiting (Marbled) 2LP
XANDRIA, nemecké ikony symfonického metalu, otvárajú ďalšiu sľubnú kapitolu svojej histórie s netrpezlivo očakávanou novou plnohodnotnou skladbou „The Wonders Still Awaiting“. S novou výkonnou zostavou, ktorú vedie hlavný mozog Marco Heubaum, Xandria pozýva svojich oddaných fanúšikov, aby vstúpili do sveta zázrakov s novými prvkami, pričom nikdy nezabudli na svoje zvukové korene. „The Wonders Still Awaiting“ obsahuje novú vokalistku Ambre Vourvahis, Roberta Klawonn (gitary), Tima Schwarza (basgitara) a Dimitriosa Gatsiosa (bicie). Zvuk „novej“ Xandrie je tvrdší, temnejší a epickejší ako kedykoľvek predtým, no zároveň si zachováva intímne prostredie a širokú škálu emócií. Album je bohatý na rôzne štýly a žánre a približuje sa k filmovému soundtracku a posiela poslucháča na emocionálnu cestu. Popri 40-člennom opernom zbore, autentických keltských nástrojoch, na ktorých hrajú renomovaní hudobníci, a jemných husľových a violončelových príspevkoch Subway To Sally's Ally Storch, nový disk zdobí Bulharský národný rozhlasový detský zbor. O orchestračné party sa postaral Lukas Knöbl, autor hollywoodskych partitúr a spolupracovník mnohých symfonických telies. “The Wonders Still Awaiting” je skvelý comeback jednej z TOP kapiel SYMPHONIC METAL.

The COFFEE BOOK
Revised and updated, a compact guide to the beverage that keeps us running.A freshly updated edition of the best introduction to one of the world's most popular products, The Coffee Book is jammed full of facts, figures, cartoons, and commentary covering coffee from its first use in Ethiopia in the sixth century to the rise of Starbucks and the emergence of Fair Trade coffee in the twenty-first. The book explores the process of cultivation, harvesting, and roasting from bean to cup, surveys the social history of café society from the first coffeehouses in Constantinople to beatnik havens in Berkeley and Greenwich Village, and tells the dramatic tale of high-stakes international trade and speculation for a product that can make or break entire national economies. It also examines the industry's major players, revealing how they have systematically reduced the quality of the bean and turned a much-loved product into a commodity and lifestyle accoutrement, ruining the lives of millions of farmers around the world in the process.Finally, The Coffee Book, hailed as a Best Business Book by Library Journal when it was first published, considers the exploitation of labor and damage to the environment that mass cultivation causes, and explores the growing "conscious coffee" market and Fair Trade movement.

A History of Words for Children
A history of the world told through the prism of language, from Shakespeare to Anne Frank, Martin Luther King to Greta Thunberg.
A History of Words for Children explores the uniquely human ability to transfer thoughts from one brain to another using words. Written in a lively narrative style, the book presents a history of the world and human development through the prism of language, introducing readers to the civilisations, inventions and wordsmiths who have shaped the way we communicate.
Divided into themed chapters, the book explores what words are and how humans communicate using spoken language and sign; the development of written scripts and writing implements, including paper; the history of manuscripts and printed books, including worldwide bestsellers and famous libraries; the process of learning another language; dialects and accents and the way language can reflect our identity; the power of words to calm, inspire, rally crowds and rule nations; graffiti's role in spreading messages; codes and invented languages; the patterns of poetry; the future of words, including emojis; and languages facing extinction.

Natural Wine for the People : What It Is, Where to Find It, How to Love It
A compact illustrated guide to the emerging and enormously popular category of natural wine, a style that focuses on minimal intervention, lack of additives, and organic and biodynamic growing methods.
Today, wine is more favored and consumed that it's ever been in the United States--and millennials are leading the charge, drinking more wine than any other generation in history. Many have been pulled in by the tractor beam of natural wine--that is, organic or biodynamic wine made with nothing added, and nothing taken away--a movement that has completely rocked the wine industry in recent years. While all of the hippest restaurants and wine bars are touting their natural wine lists, and while more and more consumers are calling for natural wine by name, there is still a lot of confusion about what exactly natural wine is, where to find it, and how to enjoy it. In Natural Wine for the People, James Beard Award-winner Alice Feiring sets the record straight, offering a pithy, accessible guide filled with easy definitions, tips and tricks for sourcing the best wines, whimsical illustrations, a definitive list to the must-know producers and bottlings, and an appendix with the best shops and restaurants specializing in natural wine across the country, making this the must-buy and must-gift wine book of the year.
