World of Warcraft Rise of the Horde
Though the young Warchief Thrall ended the demon curse that had plagued his people for generations, the orcs still wrestle with the sins of their bloody past. As the rampaging Horde, they waged a number of devastating wars against their perennial enemy -- the Alliance. Yet the rage and bloodlust that drove the orcs to destroy everything in their path nearly consumed them as well. Long ago, on the idyllic world of Draenor, the noble orc clans lived in relative peace with their enigmatic neighbors, the draenei. But the nefarious agents of the Burning Legion had other plans for both of the unsuspecting races. The demon-lord Kil'jaeden set in motion a dark chain of events that would succeed not only in eradicating the draenei, but forging the orc clans into an single, unstoppable juggernaut of hatred and destruction. An original tale of magic, warfare, and heroism based on the best-selling, award-winning electronic game series from Blizzard.

The Empress of Art
Intelligent and determined, Catherine modeled herself off of her grandfather in-law, Peter the Great, and sought to further modernize and westernize Russia. She believed that the best way to do this was through a ravenous acquisition of art, which Catherine often used as a form of diplomacy with other powers throughout Europe. She was a self-proclaimed "glutton for art" and she would be responsible for the creation of the Hermitage, one of the largest museums in the world, second only to the Louvre. Catherine also spearheaded the further expansion of St. Petersburg, and the magnificent architectural wonder the city became is largely her doing. There are few women in history more fascinating than Catherine the Great, and for the first time, Susan Jaques brings her to life through the prism of art.

Raven - A Pop-Up Book
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door ...Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" is one of the most widely recognised poems in the English language. When it first appeared in the New York Evening Mirror, in 1845, the poem made Poe an overnight sensation. Master paper engineer David Pelham amazes us once again with his pop-up design to interpret this haunting love story.

Hallgass meg!
A New York Times és a USA Today bestsellerszerzője, Kristen Proby vadonatúj regénysorozatában öt jó barátnő együtt nyit egy menő, új éttermet, ám egyikük sokkal többet kap, mint amire szerződött, amikor a szexi egykori rocksztár besétál az étterembe - és a szívébe.
A Csábítás hamarosan Portland legkapósabb éttermévé válik, és Addison Wade büszke rá, hogy ez részben az ő érdeme. Eltökélten sikeressé akarja tenni, és szerinte az új vendégek odavonzásának nincs jobb módja, mint az élőzene. De amikor Jake Keller, a rocksztár vonul be az ajtón, hogy hétvégi zenélésre jelentkezzen, Addie tudja, hogy bajban van. Azonnal felismeri őt, hiszen a poszterei beborították hálószobája falát középiskolás korában: igazi rosszfiú... vagyis pontosan az ő típusa, és pontosan az, akire semmi szüksége.
Jake Keller öt évvel ezelőtt otthagyta a rivaldafényt, és arra vágyik, hogy visszatérjen ahhoz, ami mindig is hajtotta: a zenéhez. Ha egy pimasz, pokolian vicces bombázónak dolgozik, annál jobb! Ám sokkal könnyebben rá tudja beszélni Addie-t, hogy adja neki a munkát, mint meggyőzni, hogy többet akar egy kis hancúrozásnál. Amikor a nő már kezdi beadni a derekát, Jake-et végül utoléri a múltja.
Addie élete vajon ismét darabokra hullik, vagy Jake képes lesz rávenni, hogy elnyomja a kétségeit, és a szívére hallgasson?

Civilisations: How Do We Look/The Eye of Faith: As seen on TV
Companion to the major new BBC documentary series CIVILISATIONS, presented by Mary Beard, David Olusoga and Simon SchamaThe idea of 'civilisation' has always been debated, even fought over. At the heart of those debates lies the big question of how people - from prehistory to the present day - have depicted themselves and others, both human and divine. Distinguished historian Mary Beard explores how art has shaped, and been shaped by, the people who created it.
How have we looked at these images? Why have they sometimes been so contentious? In Part One, she examines how the human figure was portrayed in some of the earliest art in the world - from the gigantic stone heads carved by the Olmec of Central America to the statues and pottery of the ancient Greeks to the terracotta army of the first emperor of China. And she explains how one particular version of representing the human body, which goes back to the ancient world, still influences (and sometimes distorts) how people in the West see their own culture and that of others. Throughout this story, she is concerned not only with the artists who made images, but with those who have used them, viewed them and interpreted them.
In other words: How Do We Look? In Part Two, Mary Beard turns to the relationship between art and religion. For centuries, religion has inspired art: from the Hindu temple at Angkor Wat to the Christian mosaics of Ravenna to the exquisite calligraphy of Islamic mosques. But making the divine visible in the human world has never been simple.
All religions have wrestled with idolatry and iconoclasm, destroying art as well as creating it - and asking how to look with The Eye of Faith.

Eileen - Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2016
This book was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2016. It was shortlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize 2016 and shortlisted for the CWA New Blood Dagger Award 2016. It was also selected as a Book of the Year 2016 in The Times, Observer and Daily Telegraph. "Fully lives up to the hype. A taut psychological thriller, rippled with comedy as black as a raven's wing, Eileen is effortlessly stylish and compelling." (Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, The Times). The Christmas season offers little cheer for Eileen Dunlop. Trapped between caring for her alcoholic father and her job as a secretary at the boys' prison, she tempers her dreary days with dreams of escaping to the big city. In the meantime, her nights and weekends are filled with shoplifting and cleaning up her increasingly deranged father's messes. When the beautiful, charismatic Rebecca Saint John arrives on the scene as the new counsellor at the prison, Eileen is enchanted, unable to resist what appears to be a miraculously budding friendship. But soon, Eileen's affection for Rebecca will pull her into a crime that far surpasses even her own wild imagination.

Jones kezében a világ
Floyd Jones egy mogorva, esetlen és feltehetően őrült fickó, mégis igen rövid idő alatt lesz vásári mutatványos mutánsból egy egész bolygó vezetője. Ezt két hihetetlen képességének köszönheti: hogy előre látja a jövőt, és hogy képes rávenni az embereket az álmodozásra egy olyan világban, ahol be lett tiltva.
A posztnukleáris messiás baljós története Philip K. Dick keze alatt épp annyira aprólékosan realista írás, mint amennyire profetikus. A bizarr mutánsok, hermafrodita szexelőadók és csillagközi lények mellett a regény halálos pontossággal ábrázolja azt a vágyunkat, hogy higgyünk: valamiben, bármiben.

Robotok kora - Milyen lesz a világ munkahelyek nélkül?
Mihez kezdünk, ha az algoritmusok képesek lesznek elvégezni a munkánkat? Miért egyre megfizethetetlenebb a jó egészségügyi ellátás és oktatás? Miért kellene minden országban bevezetni a garantált alapjövedelmet? A negyedik ipari forradalom gyökeres átalakulást hoz a munkaerőpiacon is. Az okosrobotok, a tanuló algoritmusok és a mesterséges intelligencia általános terjedése nemcsak a gyártósor mellett állók, de az egyetemi végzettségűek állásait is fenyegeti. Ha nem készülünk fel minderre, a középosztály fokozatosan eltűnik, a jövedelemegyenlőtlenség pedig drasztikus méreteket ölt. Mivel a munkavállalók egyben fogyasztók is, a piacgazdaság a ma ismert formájában hamarosan fenntarthatatlan lesz. A Robotok korából képet kapunk arról, hogy mire számíthatunk a mesterséges intelligencia , a robotika, a és az infokommunikációs technológiák, a 3D-nyomtatás vagy az önvezető járművek rohamos fejlődését követően. Megtudjuk, miért nem működnek a gépek térhódítására adott hagyományos megoldások - mint például az újabb képzettségek és tudás megszerzése. Martin Ford jövőkutató célja nemcsak az, hogy felnyissa a politikai döntéshozók, a tudósok, a munkáltatók és a hétköznapi emberek szemét, de megoldási stratégiák alkalmazását is sürgeti. „Henry Ford legidősebb unokája, a legifjabb Henry Ford és Walter Reuther, az amerikai autóipari dolgozók szakszervezetének legendás vezetője gyárlátogatáson volt egy nemrégiben automatizált autógyárban, amikor a Ford Motor Company elnök-vezérigazgatója ezzel a gúnyos kérdéssel fordult Reutherhez: »Walter! Hogy fogod rávenni ezeket a robotokat arra, hogy szakszervezeti tagdíjat fizessenek?« Mire Reuther így válaszolt: »Henry! És te hogy fogod rávenni őket, hogy autót vegyenek tőled?
