Who Owns the Moon?
Silicon for microchips; manganese for batteries; titanium for missiles.
The moon contains a wealth of natural resources. So, as the Earth's supplies have begun to dwindle, it is no surprise that the world's superpowers and wealthiest corporations have turned their eyes to the stars. As this new Space Race begins, A.C. Grayling asks: who, if anyone, owns the moon? Or Mars? Or other bodies in near space? And what do those superpowers and corporations owe to Planet Earth and its inhabitants as a whole?
From feudal common land, through the rules of the sea, to the vast, nationless expanse of Antarctica, Grayling explores the history of the places which no one, and therefore everyone, owns. Examining the many ways this so-called terra nullius has fallen victim to 'the tragedy of the commons' - the tendency for communal resources to be exploited by a few individuals for personal gain at the expense of everyone else - Who Owns the Moon? puts forward a compelling argument for a bold new global consensus, one which recognises and defends the rights of everyone who lives on this planet.
Doctor Who: 11 doktorů, 11 příběhů
Soubor povídek slavných autorů k 50. výročí vysílání první epizody kultovního seriálu Pán času (Doctor Who).
Každá povídka představuje jednu z inkarnací Pána času. Jednou nás zavede do starověkého Babylonu, podruhé na planetu vytvořenou podle vzoru Las Vegas, jindy na vesmírnou stanici v podobě obřího stromu. Doktor s humorem a lehkostí sobě vlastní řeší různé záhady, například kde se ve vikingské vesnici vzaly elektrické kabely a jak to vlastně bylo se starými severskými bohy, co mění lidi v Nevadské poušti v hromádky černého slizu, kdo přepsal celý vesmír a způsobil, že jsou Dalekové mírumilovní, nebo proč osoby ve zvířecích maskách skupují domy na Zemi za astronomické sumy a kam zmizela Polly. Slavná jména autorů a snad ještě slavnější fenomén v podobě Pána času zaručují skvělou zábavu a napínavé čtení, jež budete jen těžko odkládat.
Autoři: Eoin Colfer, Michael Scott, Marcus Sedgwick, Philip Reeve, Patrick Ness, Richelle Mead, Malorie Blackman, Alex Scarrow, Charlie Higson, Derek Landy, Neil Gaiman

Doctor Who - A halál városa - David Fisher története alapján
A Doktor Párizsba viszi nyaralni Romanát: abba a városba, amelynek egy jó borhoz hasonlóan egyedülálló bukéja van, különösen, ha az ember megfelelő évet választ a látogatáshoz. Ők azonban 1979-ben, egy kannásbor-évben lépnek ki a TARDIS-ból, és másnaposság helyett az idő szövetének hasadásai miatt fájhat a fejük.
Az Idő Lordok hamar belekeverednek az idegenek arcátlan machinációjába, amely magába foglalja a Mona Lisa ellopását, a rettegett Jagaroth faj feltámasztását, valamint az összes földi létforma megjelenését (és valószínűleg eltűnését).
Egy Duggan nevű angol magánnyomozó segítségével, aki elsősorban a pofozkodáshoz ért, a Doktornak és Romanának az emberiség megmentése érdekében keresztül kell húznia a behízelgő modorú, rejtélyes Scarlioni gróf – mind a tizenkét példányának – aljas terveit.
Nem kis feladat, de hát a Doktor nyaralásai többnyire így alakulnak.
James Goss regénye Douglas Adams 1979-es, álnéven írt Ki vagy, Doki?-epizódjai alapján íródott, amelyek kimagasló sikert arattak a sorozat ötven éves történetében.

Inter Arma Silent Musae?
Tématem této knihy je husitství a jeho ohlas ve výtvarném umění a v architektuře v českých zemích v době předbělohorské, ale i v 19. a na počátku 20. století, kdy se zájem o Jana Husa jakožto národního hrdinu stal opět aktuálním. Utrakvistické prostředí Čech tvořilo v rámci Evropy specifickou kulturní oblast, jejíž výraznou součástí byla i architektura a umělecké zakázky příslušníků strany podobojí. Avšak ne vždy je dnes možné v umělecké produkci doby husitské spolehlivě rozpoznat právě díla reformně smýšlejících objednavatelů.Jádro knihy tvoří soubor případových studií o proměně společnosti v neklidné době husitských válek a po nich, o architektuře, malířství a sochařství, které různými způsoby reflektují jak boje utrakvistů za sebeurčení, tak naopak jejich snahy o konsenzuální zapojení se do běžného církevního života.

Beatles, The - The Blue Album 1967 - 1970 (2023 Edition) 2CD
The Beatles bola anglická rocková skupina založená v Liverpoole v roku 1960 v zložení John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr. Sú považovaní za najvplyvnejšiu skupinu všetkých čias a boli neoddeliteľnou súčasťou rozvoja kontrakultúry 60. rokov a uznania populárnej hudby ako umeleckej formy. Ich zvuk má korene v skiffle, beate a rock'n'rolle 50. rokov a inovatívnym spôsobom zahŕňa prvky klasickej hudby a tradičného popu. Skupina tiež skúmala hudobné štýly od ľudovej a indickej hudby po psychedéliu a hard rock. Ako priekopníci v nahrávaní, písaní piesní a umeleckej prezentácii spôsobili Beatles revolúciu v mnohých aspektoch hudobného priemyslu a boli často propagovaní ako vodcovia mládežníckych a sociokultúrnych hnutí tej doby. The Beatles sú najpredávanejším hudobným počinom všetkých čias s odhadovaným predajom 600 miliónov kusov po celom svete. Sú najúspešnejším počinom v histórii americkej hitparády Billboard, držia rekord v počte albumov na prvom mieste v UK Albums Chart (15), najviac hitov na prvom mieste v americkom rebríčku Billboard Hot 100 (20 ) a najviac singlov sa predalo v Spojenom kráľovstve (21,9 milióna). Skupina získala mnoho ocenení vrátane siedmich cien Grammy, štyroch cien Brit Awards, Oscara (za najlepšiu pôvodnú skladbu pre dokumentárny film Let It Be z roku 1970) a pätnástich cien Ivora Novella. V roku 1988 ich uviedli do Rock'n'rollovej siene slávy a každý hlavný člen bol uvedený individuálne v rokoch 1994 až 2015. V rokoch 2004 a 2011 sa skupina dostala na prvé miesto rebríčka najväčších umelcov v histórii Rolling Stone. Časopis Time ich zaradil medzi 100 najdôležitejších ľudí 20. storočia.
Táto nová kompilácia predstavuje generáciám fanúšikov neuveriteľnú históriu najslávnejšej kapely v hudbe. K svojmu 50. výročiu bola kolekcia rozšírená o 9 ďalších skladieb, vrátane „Blackbird“, „Glass Onion“ a novej piesne „Now And Then“. The Last Beatles Song, „Now And Then“ dopĺňa demo nahrávku Johna Lennona vokálu a klavíra zo 70. rokov s časťami, ktoré hrali Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr, ako aj s novým aranžmánom pre sláčiky. Kolekcia 2CD teraz obsahuje 37 skladieb, z ktorých 6 má nové mixy na rok 2023. Brožúra obsahuje nové poznámky novinára a autora Johna Harrisa. Pre súčasných fanúšikov aj budúce generácie je nová kolekcia 1966 – 1970 radostnou oslavou nadčasového hudobného odkazu The Beatles.
