The Fall of Numenor
A special edition of J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth collected in one volume, illustrated by Alan Lee and published to coincide with season 3 of The Rings of Power.
Guided by the Dark Lord Sauron, the Elves of Eregion forge the Rings of Power. Yet in secret he has begun building the Barad-dur in Mordor, and here, in the fires of Mount Doom, he makes the One Ring. Seeking to rule Middle-earth, Sauron begins to wage terrible war upon them.
On the island-kingdom of Númenor, the Men of the West become mighty, building great ships to increase their influence throughout Middle-earth. But as their power grows, the seed of their downfall is sown. Only by uniting in alliance with the Elves can they hope to overcome Sauron.
Adhering to ‘The Tale of Years’ timeline in The Lord of the Rings, Brian Sibley assembles a new chronicle of Middle-earth, a tragic tale of pride, envy and downfall told substantially in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien from the various published texts originally edited by Christopher Tolkien, and illustrated with pencil drawings by Alan Lee.
Sumptuously repackaged to complement the series of special hardback editions illustrated by J.R.R. Tolkien, this stunning edition uniquely features sprayed edges and includes a removable art card and colour foldout map.

The Great Global Transformation
Global neoliberalism is on its last legs, while a new international economic order is taking hold. Trade blocs, tariff wars, economic sanctions, and national champions are in; nationalism, anti-immigration movements and the far-right are on the rise. Liberalism is being rejected by the civic realm, as the status quo of the past fifty years crumbles. What remains in its wake?Drawing on original research, leading economist Branko Milanovic reveals the seismic shifts that are shaping our world. He details the facts: how the rising economic power of Asia is creating a new global ‘middle class’ in the greatest reshuffle of incomes since the Industrial Revolution. He explores our fears: why are we becoming increasingly unhappy, when the world is becoming richer and more equal? And he shows us the fight ahead: as plutocracy returns, global war threatens, and a new system silently shapes our nations, driving malcontent to breaking point. In The Great Global Transformation, Milanovic provides an invaluable guide to the new 21st century.

Schody
Drsné, inšpiratívne a dojímavé pamäti filmovej
legendy a ikony Sylvestra Stallona o jeho tŕnistej
ceste ku sláve a o zrode najväčšieho príbehu o
outsiderovi, aký bol kedy vyrozprávaný.
Už je to polstoročie, čo Sylvester Stallone vybehol po schodoch k Filadelfskému múzeu
umenia. Odvtedy sa on aj tieto schody stali symbolmi nezlomnosti a vôle, ktoré inšpirovali
milióny ľudí po celom svete, aby sa nevzdávali svojich snov. V knihe Kroky Stallone líči, ako
si plnil tie vlastné. V bilancii po desaťročiach odhaľuje svoje korene – traumatický pôrod
s doživotnými následkami, ešte ťažšie detstvo a roky nepochopenia v školských laviciach.
Vysvetľuje, že skutočný úspech sa rodí z odvahy čeliť prekážkam, prijať ich a napokon ich
prekonať. Skrýva sa v odhodlaní prejsť potrebný kus cesty a urobiť presne tie kroky, ktoré nás
delia od našich cieľov.
Rozprávanie rámcované jeho príchodom do New Yorku v roku 1969 a triumfom Rockyho na
Oscaroch v roku 1977 prináša živý a strhujúci portrét zápasu o prežitie, ktorý vyústil do
fenomenálneho úspechu. Stallone píše o svojich začiatkoch aj neskorších rokoch, o kreativite
a nezlomnosti, vďaka ktorým nestvoril len postavu Rockyho, ale vybudoval si kariéru plnú
kultových hrdinov. Jeho reflexie sú svedectvom o výnimočnom živote a hlbokým
zamyslením nad silou vízie, pevnej vôle a tvrdej práce.

Lessons from the Housewives
The feminist truths hiding in plain sight behind every glitter-fueled meltdown.
For feminist media scholar Evie Psarras, The Real Housewives franchise has been her greatest source of entertainment and comfort since its first iteration. It’s also where she learned some of life’s most important lessons. Maintaining friendships? Check. Fostering work ethic? Check. Being a bit delusional? Also check.
In Lessons from the Housewives, Psarras dives headfirst into the glittering, chaotic universe of The Real Housewives to reveal the surprising wisdom tucked beneath taglines, table flips, and redemption arcs. Through sharp analysis, laugh-out-loud personal stories, and an unapologetic love for all things Bravo, she shows how this wildly entertaining franchise speaks to our deepest questions about feminine identity, ambition, vulnerability, and what it really means to “have it all.”
Drawing on anonymous interviews with Housewives and the producers who shape the spectacle, Psarras uncovers the feminist storytelling at the heart of a franchise long dismissed as “trash”?a word she boldly reclaims as a badge of women-centered creativity. With insights on resilience, friendship dynamics, reinvention, and embracing life’s messiest moments, she illuminates why these iconic women resonate so powerfully and what they can teach us about falling, rising, and owning our stories with style.
