They thought the end came in a flash.
Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth, killing most of the population.
The worst is yet to come.
Mark and Trina were there when it happened. They survived. But now a virus is spreading. A virus that fills humans with murderous rage.
There is no cure. No escape.
They’re convinced that there’s a way to save those who are left—if they can stay alive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some you’re worth more dead than alive.
The end is only the beginning.

Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.
There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.

Shadow and Bone Box
All three books in the New York Times-bestselling Grisha Trilogy are now available together in a beautiful paperback box set.
Soldier. Summoner. Saint. Follow Alina Starkov through Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising as she discovers her dormant powers and is swept up in a world of luxury and illusion. As Alina struggles to fit into her new life, a threat to the kingdom of Ravka grows?one that will test old alliances and challenge the very limits of magic, one that will forge a leader from a frightened girl.
"This is what fantasy is for.” ?Laini Taylor for The New York Times on Shadow and Bone
“Set in a fascinating, unique world rich with detail, Shadow and Bone was unlike anything I've ever read. Alina is a clever, sympathetic character I will gladly follow into the next installment?which can't come soon enough!” ?Veronica Roth, New York Times–bestselling author of Divergent, on Shadow and Bone
“Filled with lush descriptions, intriguing magic, and plenty of twists, this memorable adventure offers action and intrigue mixed with an undercurrent of romance and danger.” ?Publishers Weekly on Shadow and Bone
“A heady blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure.” ?Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Percy Jackson series, on Siege and Storm
“A well-drawn world, full of deceit and mythology, populated by entirely believable characters. Full of truly surprising twists and turns, beautiful imagery and a protagonist it's impossible not to root for, this is a great choice for teenage fans of George R.R. Martin and J.R.R. Tolkien.” ?RT Book Reviews on Shadow and Bone
"If opener Shadow and Bone was a magical coming-of-age story and middle-volume Siege and Storm was a political thriller, then this third book is an epic quest. . . Every time readers may think she's written herself into a corner, Bardugo pulls off a twist that, while surprising, will keep them turning pages furiously.” ?Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on Ruin and Rising.
Elastic
From the best-selling author of Subliminal and The Drunkard's Walk, a groundbreaking new look at the neuroscience of change—and how elastic thinking can help us thrive in a world changing faster than ever before.
With rapid technological innovation leading the charge, today’s world is transforming itself at an extraordinary and unprecedented pace. As jobs become more multifaceted, as information streams multiply, and as myriad devices place increasing demands on our attention, we are confronted every day with a plethora of new challenges. Fortunately, as Leonard Mlodinow shows, the human brain is uniquely engineered to adapt.
Drawing from cutting-edge research in neuroscience and psychology, Mlodinow takes us on a fascinating and illuminating journey through the mechanics of our own minds as we navigate the rapidly shifting landscapes around us. Out of the exploratory instincts that allowed our ancestors to prosper hundreds of thousands of years ago, humans developed a cognitive style that Mlodinow terms elastic thinking, a collection of traits and abilities that include neophilia (an affinity for novelty), schizotypy (a tendency toward unusual perception), imagination and idea generation, pattern recognition, mental fluency, divergent thinking, and integrative thinking. These are the qualities that enabled innovators from Mary Shelley to Miles Davis, from the inventor of jumbo-sized popcorn to the creator of the modern grocery store, and from Nike to Pokemon Go to effect paradigm shifts in our culture and society. And they’re the qualities that will enable each of us to succeed, personally and professionally, in the radically changing environments of today.
With his keen acumen and rapid-fire wit, Mlodinow gives us the essential tools to harness the power of elastic thinking in an endlessly dynamic world.

Sports
The book Sports is comparable to a gallery of excellent photographs that surprise the viewer through the unconventional composition of the images. The Author combines disciplines according to thematic considerations, with the result that link the most widely divergent forms of sport with each other: The Formula 1 team, for example, suffers the consequences of rain just like the tennis player. Or the topic "time" means not only speed, but also the early morning training sessions of a crew team. The portraits of the athletes—and the spectactors, as well—reflect the high and low points of sports: triumph and defeat, elation and pain.

Der Kollege
In knappen Skizzen und minutiös beobachtet, entwickelt Jörg Steiners Erzählung Der Kollege das Psychoprotokoll eines Arbeitslosen, den Prozeß der Ausgrenzung eines Menschen: eines Menschen, der zum Verschwinden gebracht wird. Jörg Steiner wurde am 26.10.1930 in Biel in der Schweiz geboren. Nach einer abgebrochenen Drogistenlehre besuchte er das Oberseminar in Bern. 1952 erhielt er das Patent. Anschließend war er an diversen Orten als Volksschullehrer tätig, mit mehrfachen Unterbrechungen. Er unternahm Reisen nach Spanien, Frankreich, Amerika, Ostafrika, Italien und in die damalige Tschechoslowakei. Steiner lebt heute in Biel. Eine prägende Erfahrung für Steiner war seine Tätigkeit in einem Heim für Schwererziehbare Anfang der fünfziger Jahre. Sie ging ein in seine ersten beiden Romane ein, blieb aber auch in seinem späteren Werk wirksam, in dem Gefangenschaft und Freiheit, die Realität der Gewöhnung und der Traum vom Aufbruch zentrale Themen sind. Neben Prosa hat Steiner auch Gedichtbände veröffentlicht. Eine Schreibkrise in den 70er Jahren überwand er durch die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Illustrator Jörg Müller, die mehrere Kinderbücher hervorbrachte.

Prvouka pre 1. ročník základnej školy
Nová Prvouka pre 1. ročník ZŠ je spracovaná podľa ŠVP platného od septembra 2015. Kladie dôraz na splnenie cieľov a vzdelávacieho štandardu novozavedeného predmetu Prvouka. - Nová Prvouka pre 1. ročník ZŠ je víťazom verejnej súťaže MŠVVaŠ SR z júla 2015 vyhlásenej na učebný materiál pre potreby základných škôl.- Prvouka pre 1. ročník ZŠ je koncipovaná ako tzv. učebnica pracovného typu. Je to kombinácia učebnice a pracovného zošita. Prostredníctvom nej sú žiaci pri získavaní nových informácií a poznatkov súčasne vedení aj k ich priamemu zaznamenávaniu, najskôr kresbou, symbolicky, neskôr písmom. - Autorky Rút Dobišová Adame a Oľga Kováčiková majú nielen bohaté skúsenosti z tvorby osvedčených učebných materiálov pre primárne vzdelávanie (napr. séria Prírodoveda 1 – 4), ale sú aj aktívne učiteľky na 1. stupni ZŠ.- Učebnica pracovného typu Prvouka pre 1. ročník ZŠ stavia na existujúcich prekonceptoch dieťaťa, preferuje zážitkové učenie, vlastné objavovanie, pátranie a skúmanie. Žiaci sa oboznamujú s prírodnými javmi a zákonitosťami tak, že aktívne manipulujú s materiálmi, s ktorými sa stretávajú v bežnom živote. V niektorých bádateľských úlohách sú využité rôzne inovatívne metódy vzdelávania, ktoré sa využívajú pri modifikácii žiackych predstáv.- Obsahuje učivo, ktoré plne pokrýva požiadavky stanovené ŠVP. Učivo je rozdelené na dve vzdelávacie oblasti: Človek a príroda – Rastliny, Živočíchy, Človek, Neživá príroda a skúmanie prírodných javov a Človek a spoločnosť, v ktorej žije. Učivo je rozšírené aj o rôzne divergentné, doplňujúce a rozširujúce úlohy, úlohy na opakovanie a upevňovanie a zábavné úlohy.- Učivo je usporiadané do piatich tematických okruhov: Moje kráľovstvo, Kráľovstvo života, Kráľovstvo sveta, Kráľovstvo živočíchov a Kráľovstvo rastlín. Témy na seba logicky nadväzujú.- Jednotlivým témam sú venované jedna až štyri strany v pracovnej učebnici, v závislosti od náročnosti učiva. Strany obsahujú úlohy, ktoré riešia žiaci. Úlohy sú označené piktogramami, ktoré žiakom pomáhajú pochopiť, čo budú v danej úlohe robiť a akým spôsobom budú pracovať, hoci ešte nevedia čítať. Pozitívny stereotyp piktogramov prácu s úlohami zjednodušuje. Náročnosť úloh stúpa súbežne s tým, ako si žiaci osvojujú vedomosti.- Zhrnutie učiva pod názvom Moje poznámky sa spravidla nachádza na konci každej témy a je spracované formou maľovaného čítania. Žiaci sa môžu k nemu kedykoľvek vrátiť a dané učivo si pripomenúť.- Metodické informácie a cieľové kompetencie podľa ŠVP nájde učiteľ v stručnej podobe priamo na stranách. - Podrobné metodické informácie a námety v podobe príručky pre učiteľa sú vypracované v publikácii s názvom Metodické komentáre k Prvouke pre 1.ročník základnej školy.- Titul je dostupný aj v maďarskej jazykovej mutácii pre školy s VJM.

Cal Kestis új életet kezdett a Stinger Mantis legénységének kapitányaként. Társaival közösen fejvadászokkal küzd, inkvizítorokat győz le, még magát Darth Vadert is sikerül kicseleznie. Még ennél is fontosabb, hogy Merrin, Cere, Greez és hűséges droidjuk, BD-1 személyében Cal végre - a Jedi Rend bukása óta először - családra lel.

American Art and Architecture
An accessible, concise, and beautifully written survey of American art and architecture from 1600 to the present.This new survey provides a complete history of American art and architecture from its seventeenth-century colonial beginnings to the latest installation and video work. Structured chronologically, the book defines the characteristics of the different periods and highlights the consistent forms, techniques, and styles that mark the art and architecture as distinctively American. Michael J. Lewis charts the ways in which American artists and architects both adopted and diverged from earlier European models to create an original visual language of their own. He also shows how that language in turn came to influence and eventually dominate art and architecture around the world.Professor Lewis integrates discussions of both buildings and works of visual art, revealing the shared social and aesthetic concerns that underlie the two. Vernacular, religious, secular, and corporate architecture appears alongside paintings, sculpture, photography, and new-media art. All the major American artists and works from the seventeenth century to today are included, such as epic history paintings by Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley, sublime landscapes by Thomas Cole, Albert Bierstadt, and Frederick Church, society portraits by John Singer Sargent, groundbreaking abstract expressionist and pop art by Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, and Andy Warhol, and challenging sculptural, installation, and video works from more recent years by Robert Gober, Fred Wilson, and Matthew Barney.In architecture, dozens of different building types are illustrated and discussed, from the earliest colonial houses and churches to the most spectacular modernist and postmodernist houses, stations, museums, and iconic skyscrapers. 275 illustrations, 175 in color

Alive
For fans of "The Hunger Games, Divergent, "and" Red Rising" comes a gripping sci-fi adventure in which a group of teenagers wake up in a mysterious corridor with no knowledge of who they are or how they got trapped. Their only hope lies with an indomitable young woman who must lead them not only to answers but to survival. " I open my eyes to darkness. Total darkness. I hear my own breathing, but nothing else. I lift my head . . . it thumps against something solid and unmoving. There is a board right in front of my face. No, not a board . . . a lid. " A teenage girl awakens to find herself trapped in a coffin. She has no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there. Fighting her way free brings little relief she discovers only a room lined with caskets and a handful of equally mystified survivors. Beyond their room lies a corridor filled with bones and dust, but no people . . . and no answers. She knows only one thing about herself her name, M. Savage, which was engraved on the foot of her coffin yet she finds herself in charge. She is not the biggest among them, or the boldest, but for some reason the others trust her. Now, if they re to have any chance, she must get them to trust one another. Whatever the truth is, she is determined to find it and confront it. If she has to lead, she will make sure they survive. Maybe there s a way out, a rational explanation, and a fighting chance against the dangers to come. Or maybe a reality they cannot comprehend lies just beyond the next turn. Advance praise for "Alive" "" A ripping, claustrophobic thunderbolt of a novel, Scott Sigler s "Alive" gives us an unforgettable young hero who must find the inner strength to lead without knowingwhere she is, who she is, and how bitterly the odds are stacked against her. Pierce Brown, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Red Rising" "" Sigler has created a wonderful and engrossing character in M. Savage. Strong and smart, but with the naivete and misgivings of any teenage girl, she s someone you ll definitely want on your side when s*** hits the fan, which it most certainly does. Veronica Belmont, host of "Sword & Laser" A tense, unsettling page-turner of a story both deeply strange and wildly compelling. Cherie Priest, author of "Boneshaker" and "Maplecroft" From the first page I was hooked. The puzzle unfolds masterfully, right down to the last page. Dr. Phil Plait, author of "Bad Astronomy""

Twins Alec and Walker Holland have a reputation around town. One is quiet and the other is the life of any party, but the two are inseparable. For their last summer before college, Alec and Walker leave the city to live with their rural cousins, where they find that the swamp holds far darker depths than they could have imagined. While Walker carves their names into the new social scene, Alec recedes into a summer school laboratory, slowly losing himself to a deep, dark experiment. This season, both brothers must confront truths, ancient and familial, and as their lives diverge, tensions increase and dormant memories claw to the surface. Swamp Thing: Twin Branches is a story of shadows, both literal and imagined--and those that take form and haunt us.

Black Sunday
A fierce and fresh debut novel, set over the course of two decades in Nigeria, about sisterhood, fate and female resistance
Twin sisters Bibike and Ariyike are enjoying a relatively comfortable life in Lagos in 1996. Then their mother loses her job due to political strife and their father gambles away their home, and the siblings are thrust into the reluctant care of their traditional Yoruba grandmother. Inseparable while they had their parents to care for them, the twins' paths diverge once the household shatters: one embracing modernity as the years pass, the other consumed by religion.
Written with astonishing intimacy and wry attention to the fickleness of fate, Black Sunday delves into the chaotic heart of family life. In the process, it tells a tale of grace in the midst of daily oppression, and of how two women carve their own distinct paths of resistance.
