Carnaval Fever
Sheltered within her grandmother''s fiercely protective household, Ainhoa blossoms under the guidance of her constellation of aunts - women who become her teachers, guardians, and spiritual anchors. Through Ainhoa''s keen observant eyes, readers experience how music and dance - particularly during the explosive energy of Carnaval - don''t merely entertain but form the very heartbeat of existence, a pulsing testament to Afro-Ecuadorian identity and resistance. Yet beneath this tapestry of warmth and celebration, Carnaval Fever fearlessly confronts the shadows: crushing economic hardship, the heartbreak of migration, and the ever-present threat of male violence hovering at the community''s edges. At its luminous core, however, this novel stands as a defiant celebration of women''s resilience, collective power, and the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood that sustain communities through generations.
LOST iN Switzerland
Switzerland. You imagine snow-capped postcards, precision watches and the hushed corridors of private banks. But look past the orderly facade and you’ll find a country defined by synergistic contrast and modern marvels.
This is a land where brutalist concrete bunkers hide luxury galleries and the pristine silence of the Alps is broken by the roar of underground techno and art movements like Dadaism that once shook the world. It’s a year-round destination with natural wealth that has no equal.
LOST iN takes you beyond the fondue pots to the high-altitude creatives and urban alchemists. You’ll meet a mountain rescue guide that saves lives on the Matterhorn, an indie designer reimagining the home aesthetic and Zurich architects transforming industrial husks into soaring cathedrals of cool. Along the way, we’ll guide you through hidden thermal baths carved into raw granite, secret vinyl bars in Basel and the lakeside Riviera where jazz legends once escaped the limelight.
From the eerie stillness of abandoned mountain passes to the high-stakes energy of a global design scene, this is a Switzerland that refuses to be put in a box. Experience a culture clash that’s raw, real and refined, and get lost in a country where stereotypes don’t stand a chance.
Alpine subcultures, adventure seekers and urban creatives that bring pure grit to the world’s most beautiful playground.

THE NO. 1 BESTSELLERTHE SHOCKING TRUE CRIME THAT SHOCKED IRELANDFrom a producer of the Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary, A Deadly American Marriage‘Extraordinary and compelling’ Pat Kenny, Newstalk‘There is quite a twist in this’ Martin King, Ireland AMHow Molly Martens’ obsession with her stepchildren cost her husband Jason his life and legacy, from the producer of the Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary, A Deadly American MarriageWhen Limerick widower Jason Corbett hired a wholesome young American, Molly Martens, to care for his eighteen-month-old daughter and three and-a-half-year-old son, he could not have known that she was a troubled woman whose obsession with his children would end in his death. Three years after meeting, Jason and Molly married and settled in North Carolina. Four years later, Jason was beaten to death in their marital bedroom. Molly and her father, Tom, a former FBI agent, admitted to killing Jason but claimed self-defence. A Deadly Marriage reveals new information about this shocking case including the strange text Molly sent to Jason’s brother less than two hours after his death, how Jason told a friend he was planning to return to Ireland for good just two weeks before he died and Tom Martens’ pattern of cleaning up Molly’s mess. This is the story of how a wealthy and well-connected American family framed the victim as the aggressor in a horrific killing, blackened his name and served minimal jail time. Journalist Brian Carroll reported on the Martens’ court hearings for the Irish Times and is a co-producer of the Netflix documentary A Deadly American Marriage. He has thoroughly investigated the case, including conducting fresh reporting in North Carolina, to write the definitive account of a shattering story. ---‘Goes into the case in far more detail in a much more illuminating way’ Matt Cooper, Today FM‘Read this and you’ll get quite the education’ Elaine Crowley, Ireland AM

Dávej na sebe pozor!
V poslední době vycházejí zejména knížky významných horolezeckých osobností, opatřené bohatými fotografiemi. O těch obyčejných "dělnících hor" a milovnících sportovního lezení se však píše jen velmi málo. Ve svých povídkách jsem se snažil přiblížit zážitky méně nápadných lidiček. Proto je věnuji všem posedlým romantikou a dobrodružstvím, kteří sice nedosáhli vrcholných výkonů, ale přesto byli šťastni.
Introdukované dřeviny v českém lesním hospodářství
V souvislosti s klimatickou změnou a s nezbytným záměrem zajistit stabilní a funkční lesní porosty roste zájem odborné lesnické veřejnosti také o využití druhů, které u nás nejsou původní. Rovněž potřeba nahradit stávající monokulturní porosty stabilnějšími vede ke snahám o rozšíření sortimentu dřevin schopných odolat dnešnímu turbulentnímu prostředí. Proto je cílem publikace shrnout disponibilní poznatky o introdukovaných dřevinách využitelných lesnickou praxí. Kromě douglasky, grandisky a dubu červeného jsou analyzovány i dřeviny méně zastoupené. Snahou je poskytnout současný stav poznání ohledně jejich ekologických nároků, možnostech pěstování i vystihnout případná rizika, která jsou s rozšiřováním nových druhů v lesních porostech potenciálně spojena.

Maškaráda géniů
Maškarádu géniů, třetí díl Rakouské trilogie, považoval Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando za své vrcholné dílo, souhrn všech zásadních témat, která ho celý tvůrčí život provázela: Erós jako vítěz nad racionalitou a pořádky mužského světa, znejistění muži jako oběti a hračky v rukou neporazitelných ženských protihráček; zpřítomnění řecké a byzantské mytologie, její surrealistické propletení se současnou banalitou a komedií dell´arte, odbourání hranic mezi minulým a současným, mezi mýtem, iluzí a realitou; zobrazení světa jako nestabilního místa a neuspořádané sbírky kuriozit (jež je současně cenností i smetištěm) a člověka v něm jako oběti posedlostí, obsesí a metamorfóz všeho druhu. I tento román končí tragicky jako oba předchozí, a přesto je plný typického hýřivého, skurilního humoru, legračních figurek a nedostižně originálních nápadů.

Original Sin
An eye-opening account of a world order shaped by spacepower and the threat of space warfare.
Space technology was developed to enhance the killing power of the state. The Moon landings and the launch of the Space Shuttle were mere sideshows, drawing public attention away from the real goal: military and economic control of space as a source of power on Earth.
Today, as Bleddyn E. Bowen vividly recounts, thousands of satellites work silently in the background to provide essential military, intelligence and economic capabilities. No major power can do without them. Beyond Washington, Moscow and Beijing, truly global technologies have evolved, from the ground floor of the nuclear missile revolution to today’s orbital battlefield, shaping the wars to come. World powers including India, Japan and Europe are fully realising the strategic benefits of commanding Earth’s ‘cosmic coastline’, as a stage for war, development and prestige.
Yet, as new contenders spend more and more on outer space, there is scope for cautious optimism about the future of the Space Age?if we can recognise, rather than hide, its original sin.
Marvel Comics Library : Fantastic Four. 1961–1963
Hoping to break out of a sales slump at Marvel in the early 1960s, veteran comic creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby hit on the idea of doing a super-team. Kirby, who thought super heroes were due for a revival after 15 years of being pushed aside by romance, horror, and war comics, saw it as smart business. Lee just once wanted to “do the type of story I myself would enjoy reading.” The Fantastic Four forever changed their careers, their lives, and the comic book industry.
Some of the most iconic moments in Marvel history are here, starting with Reed Richards, his girlfriend Sue Storm, his best friend Ben Grimm, and her little brother Johnny Storm crash landing their rocket after it has been hit by cosmic rays and discovering they have been transformed into Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Thing, and the Human Torch in issue No. 1. They were emotionally complex characters, who weren’t always sure whether their powers were a benefit or burden. Stories were set in New York City, not some fictional stand-in, and Marvel heroes regularly crossed over into each other’s books. The art was dynamic and the writing conversational and engaging. Lee and Kirby were like the Lennon and McCartney of comic books. Where the talents of one ended and the other began was not always clear, but together one plus one equaled three.
Collected here are the first 20 issues reproduced from the most pristine, pedigreed original comics, which were cracked open and photographed in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company.
Featured alongside the comics are an in-depth essay by acclaimed Marvel writer Mark Waid and original art, photographs, and other rarities. Welcome true believers to the Marvel Age of Comics.
