Pretenders, The - Pretenders II 3CD
KDO: Britsko-americká rocková skupina Pretenders byla založena v roce 1978. Iniciátorkou vzniku kapely byla zpěvačka a skladatelka Chrissie Hynde. V osmdesátých letech hned dva z původních čtyř členů Pretenders zemřeli v důsledku požití drog, i proto se sestava souboru několikrát obměnila. V kapele působil například též kytarista Johnny Marr z manchesterských The Smiths. Stylově se tvorba Pretenders dotýká rocku, punk rocku nebo new wave.
CO: Rozšířená reedice druhého alba Pretenders, kterou sestavila sama Chrissie Hynde. 3CD box obsahuje kromě původní nahrávky i nejrůznější demo verze a živé záznamy. Připomeňme, že debut Pretenders pochází z roku 1981.

The Diviners - A Látók
Hiszel abban, hogy szellemek, démonok és Látók élnek közöttünk?
Evie O'Neillt unalmas szülővárosából New York nyüzsgő utcáira száműzik - amitől ő ma-xo-tú-te el vanragadtatva.
1926-ot írunk. New Yorkban tobzódnak az illegális italmérések, a Ziegfield lányok és a pimasz ... Folytatás ›› zsebtolvajok. Az egyetlen bökkenő, hogy Evie-nek a nagybátyjánál kell laknia, aki az okkult tudományok megszállottja.
A lány attól tart, hogy Will bácsi felfedi majd legsötétebb titkát: természetfeletti képességét, ami eddig csak bajba sodorta. Ám amikor a rendőrség egy meggyilkolt lányra bukkan, testén egy titkos jellel, és Willt a helyszínre hívják, Evie ráébred, hogy képessége segíthet elkapni egy sorozatgyilkost.
Ahogy beleveti magát a gyilkossal való macska-egér játékba, újabb históriák kerülnek napvilágra a sosem alvó városban. Egy Memphis nevű fiatalember életét a rémálmok irányítják. Theta, a táncosnő, a múltja elől menekül. Egy diák, Jericho pedig megdöbbentő titkot rejteget. És mindannyiuktól függetlenül valami sötét és gonosz felébredt...

The World in Six Songs
Dividing the sum total of human musical achievement, from Beethoven to The Beatles, Busta Rhymes to Bach, into just six fundamental forms, Levitin illuminates, through songs of friendship, joy, comfort, knowledge, religion and love, how music has been instrumental in the evolution of language, thought and culture. And how, far from being a bit of a song and dance, music is at the core of what it means to be human.
A one-time record producer, now a leading neuroscientist, Levitin has composed a catchy and startlingly ambitious narrative that weaves together Darwin and Dionne Warwick, memoir and biology, anthropology and a jukebox of anecdote to create nothing less than the ' soundtrack of civilisation' .

Last Night at the Telegraph Club
From the award winning author of Ash comes a gripping story of love and duty set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the 1950s.
Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can't remember exactly when the question took root, but the answer was in full bloom the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club.
America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father - despite his hard-won citizenship - Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.
'Lo's writing . . . shimmers with the thrills of youthful desire. A lovely, memorable novel' - Sarah Waters, author of Tipping the Velvet and The Night Watch.
'An instant classic, the finest LGBTQIA+ romance I've read in ages.' - Bill Konigsberg, award-winning author of The Music of What Happens and The Bridge
Life Undercover - Coming of Age in the CIA
The instant New York Times Bestseller soon to be a major Apple TV series with Brie Larson.
'Reads as if a John le Carre character landed in Eat Pray Love' - New York Times
'Best book of the year' - Tom Marcus, author of Soldier, Spy
Do you have what it takes to stand between us and the enemy?
"I'm here to prevent a major and imminent attack. One that will kill children. I'm alone and operational in the country where my colleague was taken and beheaded, and every hour I'm delayed is another hour for something to go wrong - for an informant to disclose my location, for the source I'm meeting to cancel, for the attack to go boom. The fear injects my thoughts with venom."
Amaryllis Fox was recruited by the CIA at the age of 21 in the aftermath of 9/11. After an intense training period - where she learns how to master a Glock, get out of flexicuffs while in the trunk of a car, withstand torture, and commit suicide in case of captivity - she is sent undercover to keep nuclear, biological and chemical weapons out of the hands of terror groups. Posing as an art dealer, she is sent on countless dangerous missions around the globe. Each time, the stakes become even higher and the risks more terrifying. Determined to stop the masterminds, Amaryllis's quest will almost destroy her, until she realises that the only way to actually defeat the enemy is to have the courage to sit across from them... and listen.
In this explosive first-hand account - filled with suspense and plot twists to rival Carrie Mathison in Homeland - Life Undercover is an edgy story of an undercover CIA operative, hunting the world's most dangerous terrorists, using deception and disguises and dead drops in the night in order to protect our streets.
Revealed in never-before-seen detail, Amaryllis offers compelling insight that can only come from having fought on the front lines.

Weird: The Power of Being an Outsider in an Insider World
In the tradition of Susan Cain's Quiet and Scott Stossel's My Age of Anxiety, Atlantic staff writer Olga Khazan reclaims the concept of "weird" and turns it into a badge of honor rather than a slur, showing how being different -- culturally, socially, physically, or mentally -- can actually be a person's greatest strength.
Most of us have at some point in our lives felt like an outsider, sometimes considering ourselves "too weird" to fit in. Growing up as a Russian immigrant in West Texas, Olga Khazan always felt there was something different about her. This feeling has permeated her life, and as she embarked on a science writing career, she realized there were psychological connections between this feeling of being an outsider and both her struggles and successes later in life.
She decided to reach out to other people who were unique in their environments to see if they had experienced similar feelings of alienation, and if so, to learn how they overcame them. Weird is based on in-person interviews with many of these individuals, such as a woman who is professionally surrounded by men, a liberal in a conservative area, and a Muslim in a predominantly Christian town. In addition, it provides actionable insights based on interviews with dozens of experts and a review of hundreds of scientific studies.
Weird explores why it is that we crave conformity, how that affects people who are different, and what they can do about it.
First, the book dives into the history of social norms and why some people hew to them more strictly than others. Next, Khazan explores the causes behind-and the consequences of-social rejection. She then reveals the hidden upsides to being "weird," as well as the strategies that people who are different might use in order to achieve success in a society that values normalcy.
Finally, the book follows the trajectories of unique individuals who either decided to be among others just like them; to stay weird; or to dwell somewhere in between.
Combining Khazan's own story with those of others and with fascinating takeaways from cutting-edge psychology research, Weird reveals how successful individuals learned to embrace their weirdness, using it to their advantage.
