The KLF
They were the bestselling singles band in the world. They had awards, credibility, commercial success and creative freedom. Then they deleted their records, erased themselves from musical history and burnt their last million pounds in a boathouse on the Isle of Jura. And they couldn't say why.
This is not just the story of The KLF. It is a book about Carl Jung, Alan Moore, Robert Anton Wilson, Ken Campbell, Dada, Situationism, Discordianism, magic, chaos, punk, rave, the alchemical symbolism of Doctor Who and the special power of the number twenty-three. Wildly unauthorised and unlike any other music biography, THE KLF is a trawl through chaos on the trail of a beautiful, accidental mythology.

Jízlivá potměšilost žití
Kdo má rád prózy Jiřího Kratochvila, přijme ochotně fakt, že jedním z hrdinů a vypravěčů tohoto románu je králík. Umí mluvit, vzdělává se, filozofuje nad svými i lidskými situacemi a zastává názor, že zasahovat do nich není moudré, protože to k ničemu dobrému nevede. Nad králíkovými epizodami a zápletkami se mohou čtenáři těšit na neuvěřitelná překvapení, a nebudou zklamáni, protože autorova fantazie je nedostižná. Navíc mate tím, že postavy i události při vstupu do děje vypadají, jako by pocházely ze skutečnosti, kterou jsme zvyklí pozorovat kolem sebe. Jenže Kratochvil naopak předpokládá, že „život krade z literatury“. V tom duchu si jej vysnívá a bu-duje. Žije však v reálném světě a dobře ví o jeho temných nejistotách. Napovídá tomu i záměrně kunderovský název románu. Básník — to označení si Kratochvil plně zaslouží — byl svědkem krásných příslibů, které se naplnily v podobě katastrof, prohlédal mocensky prosazované lži, jež se pro mnohé staly pravdou, zakusil doteky rukou, které se prohlašovaly za pomocné, ale patřily zabijákům. Kratochvilovská říše řízená zákony svobodného výmyslu budí radost. Přitom však nese mateřské znamení doby diktatur, vyhlazovacích táborů a nadějeplných převratů ohrožených zmarem. I králík je si vědom nebezpečí, že ho upečou a snědí.

So I Wrote You a Poem
In January 2021, Instagram followers were invited to message author David Tensen with a life story they wanted made into a poem. More than 60 people wrote in with stories spanning divorce, loss, trauma, parenting, ableism, same-sex attraction, suicide, PTSD, parenting, religious shame and more.
Drawing from deep empathy, and with a desire to give dignity and voice to those often shamed and ostracised, David wrote a collection of poems every day for twenty-one days. This special collection of 25 poems is a tribute to the common loss and hope we all share.
This is David's second poetry collection. His best-selling debut 2020 collection, 'The Wrestle', is also available worldwide
The following is a poem from the collection. It features in the chapter, 'On Marriage':
FOR THE ONE WHO WAS BETRAYED
(To the betrayer)
There is a tree by our home
that fell in a storm
on the path
I walked to belonging.
I assumed this was our path,
and perhaps it was,
but the storm -
that was your betrayal.
Torn from the earth.
Branches broken.
Leaves strewn like confetti
on our wedding day.
Roots, now exposed,
shamefully waving at passers-by,
remind me
of what was sown in secret.
Trunk, now splintered,
piercing those who dare to pry,
remind me
of your unrepentant reasoning.
I've been tempted,
more than once,
to nest in the wreckage
but you won't find me there.
Instead, I'll be in the forest
forging new paths
through forgiveness
and a fog of grief,
vowing to love myself
more than you ever did.
David Tensen

Black Holes
At the heart of the Milky Way lies a supermassive black hole 4 million times more massive than our Sun. A place where space and time are so warped that light is trapped if it ventures within 12 million km. According to Einstein, inside lies the end of time. According to 21st-century physics, the reality may be far more bizarre.
Black holes lie where the most massive stars used to shine and at the edge of our current understanding. They are naturally occurring objects, the inevitable creations of gravity when too much matter collapses into not enough space. And yet, although the laws of nature predict them, they fail fully to describe them.
Black holes are places in space and time where the laws of gravity, quantum physics and thermodynamics collide. Originally thought to be so intellectually troubling that they simply could not exist, it is only in the past few years that we have begun to glimpse a new synthesis; a deep connection between gravity and quantum information theory that describes a holographic universe in which space and time emerge from a network of quantum bits, and wormholes span the void.
In this groundbreaking book, Professor Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw take you to the edge of our understanding of black holes; a scientific journey to the research frontier spanning a century of physics, from Einstein to Hawking and beyond, that ends with the startling conclusion that our world may operate like a giant quantum computer.
The Nature of Middle-earth
First ever publication of J.R.R. Tolkien's final writings on Middle-earth, covering a wide range of subjects and perfect for those who have read and enjoyed The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth, and want to learn more about Tolkien's magnificent world.
It is well known that J.R.R.Tolkien published The Hobbit in 1937 and The Lord of the Rings in 1954-5. What may be less known is that he continued to write about Middle-earth in the decades that followed, right up until the years before his death in 1973. For him, Middle-earth was part of an entire world to be explored, and the writings in The Nature of Middle-earth reveal the journeys that he took as he sought to better understand his unique creation.From sweeping themes as complex and profound as the metaphysics of Elvish immortality and reincarnation, and the Powers of the Valar, to the more earth-bound subjects of the lands and beasts of Numenor, the geography of the Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor, and even who had beards! This new collection, which has been edited by Carl F Hostetter, one of the world's leading Tolkien experts, is a veritable treasure-trove offering readers a chance to peer over Professor Tolkien's shoulder at the very moment of discovery: and on every page, Middle-earth is once again brought to extraordinary life.

Science Illustration
Science and illustration have always walked hand in hand, and not only the scientific community but the general public as well have used images since early history to understand natural phenomena. Moreover, from Galileo to Einstein, our modern history has been written with the key support of art and with all the insights it contributes. This XL-sized book collects more than 300 graphic works that range from original sketches to technical drawings, and from meticulous hand illustrations to computer-generated images.
The Western scientific revolution that started in the 14th century catapulted humankind into a completely new way of understanding how nature and the world around us behaved. Whether it was diseases caused by viruses or the vast galaxies of the cosmos, a new army of professionals turned their minds to unlocking and reshaping the universe of our experience with a dialectic positioned between theory and evidence. The field of illustration and the development of knowledge became inseparably intertwined, as can be seen by the majestic works shown in this book that were produced by the scientists and artists who specialized in this combined field.
Explore here the work of more than 700 scientists and over 300 discoveries in anatomy, physics, chemistry, astronomy, mechanics, and many other scientific fields, through the visual works that bring them to life. Combined with detailed texts explaining their scientific significance, the illustrations in this book introduce the work of such pionieering scientists as Andreas Vesalius, Isaac Newton, Marie Curie, and Rosalind Franklin. The visualizations themselves present game-changing ideas and discoveries from the 15th century to the present day, notably including Galileo's watercolors of the moon, Bourgery's unparalleled Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery, Florence Nightingale's statistical diagrams to indicate war casualties, and Einstein's quickly scribbled ideas for his general theory of relativity.
Many discoveries in science take place as the result of counterintuitive thinking, and in order to visualize their work scientists have to connect with the resources of collective knowledge and in turn convey new information back to people. This book is for everyone who is continually amazed by the wonders of our world and who wants to find out more about it through the remarkable illustrations used to present advances in scientific understanding.
