Sebastiao Salgado - Glaciers
This majestic collection of black-and-white photographs captures the world's great glaciers as both ancient monuments and fragile frontiers in the age of climate change.
In this arresting visual study, Sebastia~o Salgado brings together 65 duotone photographs from his epic project Genesis, offering a visual survey of some of the planet's most remote and ice-bound regions. From the ice fields of Patagonia and the peaks of the Himalayas to the vast shelves of Antarctica and the volcanic flanks of Kamchatka, these images record the forms, textures, and scale of glacial landscapes around the world.
Shot in Salgado's large-format, black-and-white style, the photographs emphasize the physical presence of ice-its ridges, fractures, density, and drift. Light and shadow reveal the structural complexity of each scene, from massive crevasses to the delicate patterns of wind-swept snow.
An essay by climate scientist Elisa Palazzi examines the science of glacier formation, transformation, and decline. Pairing meticulous sequencing with refined design and premium duotone printing, the book offers a focused and enduring portrait of the world's glaciers at a critical moment in their history.

Szerelmes ablakok
Tizenhat szívdobbanás.
Tizenhat romantikus történet.
Egy kalendárium, melyben a szerelem számtalan formában megmutatkozik!
A Szerelmes ablakok tizenhat romantikus pillanat gyűjteménye, az első randevúk bizonytalan izgalmától a házasság viharain át az időskori ragaszkodás bölcs csendjéig. A kötet lapjain megjelenik a régmúlt nyugalma, a modern városi lüktetés és a mindennapokat átszövő, titokzatos varázslat. Az érzelemmel szegélyzett út a kínai tengerek végtelenjétől a magyar falvak ismerős lankáin át egészen a Watt-öböl partjáig vezet. Mert a szerelem rád találhat cseresznyevirágzás idején Kyotóban, a hőségben a pesti 4-es-6-os villamoson, vagy akár egy hátsókert örökzöldjei alatt a hűvös Londonban. A szerelem soha nem szabályos: a novellák és versek hol könnyed humorral mesélnek a botladozó én- és társkeresésről, hol elgondolkodtató kérdéseken keresztül tárják fel a közös sors nehézségét és szépségét.
A Szerelmes ablakok egy romantikus kalendárium.

Ještě není konec
Český detektivní román se svéráznou komisařkou Výrovou v hlavní roli. Literární předloha televizní série Detektivové od Nejsvětější trojice.
Je horké srpnové odpoledne roku 1987. Končí prázdniny a dvanáctiletá Hana se v prvorepublikové vile u řeky na kraji města stane svědkem šokující vraždy. Příslušníci Veřejné bezpečnosti pachatele nápadně rychle zadrží, přičemž Hanino tvrzení, že vrahem byl ve skutečnosti podivný zelený přízrak, ze všeho nejvíc připomínající vodníka z Erbenovy Kytice, nikdo nebere vážně. Policejní komisařka Marie Výrová se tentokrát bude zabývat čtvrt století starou vraždou. Po setkání s Hanou Kolihovou, která se z hrůzného zážitku nikdy nevzpamatovala, zpočátku jen ze zvědavosti prostuduje spis dávno uzavřeného případu. Záhy však nabyde jistoty, že se tehdejší vyšetřovatelé dopustili řady chyb a že podezřelých, již ke zločinu měli motiv a příležitost, může být mnohem víc. Rodinné přízraky po pětadvaceti letech ožívají i proti vůli těch, kteří si ze všeho nejvíc přáli zapomenout. Na všech leží stín viny. Kdo je skutečným pachatelem zločinu, který zcela rozvrátil kdysi prominentní rodinu věhlasného místního lékaře?
