Slovak History chronology lexicon
At the end of our millennium, historiography has experienced a renaissance. Interest in the past is expressed not just by specialists - historians, cultural workers or students of history -but also by individuals and groups in society whose specialization and work have little in common with history. Moreover, as globalization increases, the social space is becoming smaller. Today, the attention of many is attracted to countries and nations that, not so long ago, still seemed to be far away and in which previously there was tittle interest. Sovak History: Chronology and Lexicon is made up of two sections. The first section, the calendar, records Slovak history chronologically from the first evidence about human beings on Slovak territory up to the events that took place in 1998. It consists of notations that summarize important historical events and phenomena. In the calendar individual periods are divided by introductory texts that briefly synthesize the characteristics and problem

Many Lives, Many Masters
From author and psychotherapist Dr. Brian Weiss comes the classic New York Times bestseller on the true case of the past-life therapy that changed the lives of both the prominent psychiatrist and young patient involved-now featuring a new afterword by the author.
As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from the "space between lives," which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss' family and his dead son. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career. With more than one million copies in print, Many Lives, Many Masters is one of the breakthrough texts in alternative psychotherapy and remains as provocative and timeless as it was when first published.

Running Wild
A high-security luxury housing estate in the Thames Valley sees a disturbing outbreak of violence in this compelling novella, newly reissued with an introduction from Adam Phillips. Pangbourne Village is exclusive, expensive and protected from the outside world by the very latest in security systems. A seeming idyll of family life; the perfect place to bring up a child. So why, in the space of ten minutes early one morning, were the thirty-two adult residents brutally murdered, and all thirteen children abducted? After months of fruitless investigation - and no word of the children or a ransom - the police are mystified. It is only when psychiatrist Richard Greville is called in that the truth behind the massacre gradually becomes clear. This edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballard's works, featuring introductions from a number of his admirers (including Ali Smith, Iain Sinclair, Martin Amis and Ned Beauman) and brand-new cover designs from the artist Stanley Donwood.

The Earth: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
For generations, the ground beneath the feet of our ancestors seemed solid and unchanging. Around 30 years ago, two things happened that were to revolutionize the understanding of our home planet. First, geologists realized that the continents themselves were drifting across the surface of the globe and that oceans were being created and destroyed. Secondly, pictures of the entire planet were returned from space. As the astronomer Fred Hoyle had predicted, this 'let loose an idea as powerful as any in history'. Suddenly, the Earth began to be viewed as a single entity; a dynamic, interacting whole, controlled by complex processes we scarcely understood. It began to seem less solid. As one astronaut put it, 'a blue jewel on black velvet; small, fragile and touchingly alone'. Geologists at last were able to see the whole as well as the detail; the wood as well as the trees. This book brings their account up to date with the latest understanding of the processes that govern our planet.

A szárnyak szava
"Új oldaláról ismerhetjük meg a krimi királynőjét ebben a kötetben - ugyanis Agatha Christie természetfölötti novelláiból állítottunk össze egy csokrot.
Mit szeretne a bársonyruhás baba, amit a szabóműhelyben soha nem ott találnak reggel, ahol este hagyták? Miért nézi cigánynak Dickie Carpenter az elbűvölő, aranyhajú Alistair Haworthöt?
A sorsával elégedett milliomost megszólítják a szárnyak; szavuk elől tényleg nincs menekvés? Olvashatunk még klasszikus kísértettörténetet és szellemidézést, s az egyik elbeszélés a fekete mágia titkait tárja fel.
Mindenki, aki kedveli a józan ésszel megmagyarázhatatlan, borzongatóan sejtelmes történeteket, élvezettel forgathatja a kötetet." (a Kiadó)

From Here to Eternity
Fascinated by our pervasive fear of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty set out to discover how other cultures care for the dead. From Here to Eternity is an immersive global journey that introduces compelling, powerful rituals almost entirely unknown in America. In rural Indonesia, she watches a man clean and dress his grandfather's mummified body, which has resided in the family home for two years. In La Paz, she meets Bolivian natitas (cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls), and in Tokyo she encounters the Japanese kotsuage ceremony, in which relatives use chopsticks to pluck their loved-ones' bones from cremation ashes. With boundless curiosity and gallows humor, Doughty vividly describes decomposed bodies and investigates the world's funerary history. She introduces deathcare innovators researching body composting and green burial, and examines how varied traditions, from Mexico's Dias de los Muertos to Zoroastrian sky burial help us see our own death customs in a new light. Doughty contends that the American funeral industry sells a particular-and, upon close inspection, peculiar-set of "respectful" rites: bodies are whisked to a mortuary, pumped full of chemicals, and entombed in concrete. She argues that our expensive, impersonal system fosters a corrosive fear of death that hinders our ability to cope and mourn. By comparing customs, she demonstrates that mourners everywhere respond best when they help care for the deceased, and have space to participate in the process. Exquisitely illustrated by artist Landis Blair, From Here to Eternity is an adventure into the morbid unknown, a story about the many fascinating ways people everywhere have confronted the very human challenge of mortality.
The Care and Feeding of a Pet Black Hole
"So wait," said Cosmo. "If we go in that door, we might exit on the other side of the galaxy?"'"I don't know," I said. "But we currently live in a tub in a black hole, so what do we have to lose?" When eleven-year-old space mad Stella Rodriguez shows up at NASA to request that her recording be included in Carl Sagan's Golden Record, something unexpected happens: A black hole follows her home, and sets out to live in her house as a pet. The black hole swallows everything he touches, which is challenging to say the least - but also turns out to be a convenient way to get rid of those items that Stella doesn't want around. Soon theugly sweaters her aunt has made for her all disappear within the black hole, as does the smelly class hamster she's taking care of, and most important, all the reminders of her dead father that are just too painful to have around. It's not until Stella, her younger brother, Cosmo, the family puppy and even the bathroom tub all get swallowed up by the black hole that Stella realizes she has been letting her own grief consume her. And that's not the only thing she realizes as she attempts to get back home... From the author of Confessions of an Imaginary Friendcomes an astonishingly original and funny adventure with a great big heart. Praise for Confessions of an Imaginary Friend: `Cuevas's novel brimming with metaphors, gorgeous imagery, and beautiful turns of phrase considers the fate of devoted but invisible companions.

A végső megoldás
A megsemmisítést elkerülő dokumentum annak a találkozónak a jegyzőkönyvét tartalmazta, amelyet 1942. január 20-án, a Wannsee partján álló hatalmas berlini villában rendeztek a zsidókérdés végleges megoldására. A résztvevők ínyenc ételek, finom konyak és márkás szivar mellett alig két óra alatt ítéltek halálra hatmillió embert. A szerző, Mark Roseman szikár tényszerűséggel, mégis megrázó erővel tárja fel a legújabb kori történelem talán legszégyenletesebb dokumentumának hátterét és a fordulópontnak számító találkozón történteket, amelyek a példátlan tömeggyilkossághoz vezettek.

The Essex Serpent
THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER Overall Book of the Year and Fiction Book of the Year at the British Book Awards 2017 (Nibbies) Longlisted for the 2017 Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction The Waterstones Book of the Year 2016 Shortlisted for the 2016 Costa Novel Award London, 1893. When Cora Seaborne's controlling husband dies, she steps into her new life as a widow with as much relief as sadness. Along with her son Francis - a curious, obsessive boy - she leaves town for Essex, in the hope that fresh air and open space will provide refuge. On arrival, rumours reach them that the mythical Essex Serpent, once said to roam the marshes claiming lives, has returned to the coastal parish of Aldwinter. Cora, a keen amateur naturalist with no patience for superstition, is enthralled, convinced that what the local people think is a magical beast may be a yet-undiscovered species. As she sets out on its trail, she is introduced to William Ransome, Aldwinter's vicar, who is also deeply suspicious of the rumours, but thinks they are a distraction from true faith. As he tries to calm his parishioners, Will and Cora strike up an intense relationship, and although they agree on absolutely nothing, they find themselves at once drawn together and torn apart, affecting each other in ways that surprise them both. The Essex Serpent is a celebration of love, and the many different shapes it can take.
