Bronzová věž
TENHLE SEN BUDE VYKOUPENÝ KRVÍ NEVINNÝCH…
Mezi doutnajícími ruinami padlého impéria sílí šepot dávných mýtů o Krůpěji, poslední kapce padlého stvořitele, která slibuje neomezenou moc i poslední naději a která se ukrývá v bronzové věži ve vzdálené zemi za bezmezným Okeónem.
Redd, prospěchářský tulák a zlodějíček, má jen svůj plášť, omšelý meč – a spoustu vzpomínek na časy, které dávno minuly. V srdci si nese posedlost Krůpějí, kvůli které se hodlá vypravit za okraj Světa. A nemá problém obětovat cokoliv, aby dosáhl cíle, včetně vlastní duše.
Není však jediný, kdo po Krůpěji touží. V patách je mu jako stín tajuplný Maršál velící flotile zaokeónských fregat. A tyhle dva pojí víc než jen stejný cíl…
Ve Světě sílí frakce toužící využít Krůpěj ke znovunastolené pevné moci. Rozmáhají se staré hereze a ze stínů vylézají osudem prokletí Zářní… Jisté je jen jedno. Blíží se bouře apokalyptických rozměrů – a Redd ještě netuší, že bude stát přímo v jejím oku.

Slova tak sladká a smrtící
SPLATÍ DLUH VŮČI KRÁLI, NEBO ZTRATÍ VŠECHNY, KTERÉ MILUJE?
Poloviční víla Elessia mohla mít všechno. Díky magii dokázala jediným pohledem přinutit kohokoliv splnit její vůli. Po tragické nehodě je však uvržena do žaláře faeského krále a donucena složit mu krevní přísahu, kvůli níž mu musí sloužit.
O pět let později žije mezi lidmi v Ellowu a vyčkává, kdy si král přijde vybrat svůj dluh. Když ta chvíle konečně nastane, Elessia se musí zapojit do záležitostí lidí a zjistit, zda je současný regent Loche zapleten do podivných událostí ve faeské říši. Vidina vysvobození ji nutí úkol přijmout, ačkoliv má neustále v patách smrtícího strážce Merricka, který má na ni dohlédnout.
Jak sílí přitažlivost mezi ní a odtažitým regentem Lochem, Elessia začíná tušit, že ve hře jsou mnohem mocnější síly. Spalující vášeň může snadno vystřídat ledová nenávist. Obzvlášť v okamžiku, kdy je její zrada odhalena. Elessia náhle stojí před volbou mezi vlastní svobodou a svobodou celého národa… a její rozhodnutí ji bude stát vše.
V téhle strhující temné romantasy ze světa fae rozehrává Sophia St. Germain příběh plný nenávisti, která se mění v lásku, pomalu houstnoucího napětí a spletitých intrik.

Petr Linhart: Autobus do Sudet
Český písničkář, skladatel, textař, tvůrce jízdních řádů a hledač příběhů ukrytých v krajině Petr Linhart (* 1962) je jednou z nejpozoruhodnějších a zároveň nejskromnějších postav české hudební scény posledních čtyř desetiletí. Jako nikdo jiný dokáže vyhledávat a zpracovávat osudy dávno zapomenutých, ve své době neznámých obyčejných lidí a proměňovat je v písně, které zůstávají. Kniha Autobus do Sudet jeho svět poprvé otevírá naplno. Od prvních krůčků v legendárním Čp.8 Jaroslava J. Ježka přes éru snových, bezčasých světů Majerových brzdových tabulek až po sólovou dráhu, na níž se z Linharta stal nezaměnitelný epik české písničkářské scény – to vše a mnohem více je tématem bilančního, důkladného a upřímného rozhovoru, který s ním vedl publicista Tomáš S. Polívka (* 1970).
Mluví se tu o hudbě, o poezii, o krajině pohraničí a Sudet jako nevyčerpatelném zdroji inspirace, o těch bezejmenných, jejichž příběhy by bez Linhartových písní navždy upadly v zapomnění. O hledání víry, o promodlených místech, o pravěku i středověku, o 19. a 20. století, které vstoupily do jeho skladeb. O spolupráci s řadou hudebníků, o písních napsaných pro Jana Spáleného, o tom, jak se z řadového člena kapely stává sólový umělec, který se osměluje jít s kůží na trh. Kniha je zároveň osobní výpovědí o době, kdy se půjčovala elpíčka, v noci kopírovaly pásky a z pár taktů zachycených z éteru mohl vzniknout celoživotní hudební svět. A je to i kniha o krajině – té fyzické, kterou člověk prochází, i té vnitřní, do níž se stále znovu vrací. Rozhovor je doplněn bohatou obrazovou přílohou, diskografií a rejstříky. A navíc stejnojmenným CD s nevydanými demosnímky a koncertními nahrávkami, mnohdy syrovými a bezprostředními prvními verzemi písní, které se tak stávají neodmyslitelnou součástí této knihy.

Outsider Animals
“This is a truly compelling book, rich with scientific expertise and humor.”—Isabella RosselliniFrom one of our foremost experts on behavioral evolution, an entertaining exploration of what raccoons, rats, and other animal intruders teach us about intelligence, adaptability, and ourselvesWhen we think of animals that provide the greatest insights into animal cognition and behavior, primates and honeybees come to mind, or perhaps whales or octopus. What about the raccoons that plunder our rubbish at night, or the coyotes that threaten pets and livestock, or the gulls that divebomb for snacks at the beach? Outsider Animals challenges everything you thought you knew about the overlooked animals that live in proximity to humans, sharing the stories that each has to tell about adaptation and cohabitation on our increasingly crowded planet. Marlene Zuk gives us a new appreciation for the animals we often shun, explaining why these unpopular creatures have something special to teach us not only about the ways we deal with other species but about our own place in nature and what it means for an animal to belong somewhere. You will discover how coyotes and snakes shed light on our coevolution with predators, what cockroaches tell us about the evolution of pregnancy, how butterflies make us reconsider the effects of roadside pollution, how cowbirds and mynas are forcing ecologists to think differently about invasive species, and much more. Writing with an infectious blend of humor and curiosity, Zuk invites us to reflect on our relationships with these close-to-home creatures and the ways our lives encroach on theirs, and to draw lessons from their behavior in all its fascinating complexity.
A Real Right to Vote
Why it’s time to enshrine the right to vote in the ConstitutionThroughout history, too many Americans have been disenfranchised or faced needless barriers to voting. Part of the blame falls on the Constitution, which does not contain an affirmative right to vote. The Supreme Court has made matters worse by failing to protect voting rights and limiting Congress’s ability to do so. The time has come for voters to take action and push for an amendment to the Constitution that would guarantee this right for all. Drawing on troubling stories of state attempts to disenfranchise military voters, women, African Americans, students, former felons, Native Americans, and others, Richard Hasen argues that American democracy can and should do better in assuring that all eligible voters can cast a meaningful vote that will be fairly counted. He shows how a constitutional right to vote can deescalate voting wars between political parties that lead to endless rounds of litigation and undermine voter confidence in elections, and can safeguard democracy against dangerous attempts at election subversion like the one we witnessed in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. The path to a constitutional amendment is undoubtedly hard, especially in these polarized times. A Real Right to Vote explains what’s in it for conservatives who have resisted voting reform and reveals how the pursuit of an amendment can yield tangible dividends for democracy long before ratification.
How Not to Be Human
Current debates in the environmental humanities, animal studies, and related fields increasingly revolve around this question: What to do with “the human”? Is the human a category worth preserving? Should it be replaced with the post-human? Should marginalized and minoritarian groups advocate for a universal humanism? What is the relationship between humanism and anthropocentrism? Is a genuinely non-anthropocentric mode of thinking and living possible for human beings? This book argues that the writings of twentieth-century poet Robinson Jeffers offer twenty-first-century readers a number of crucial insights concerning such questions and timely advice about how not to be human. For Jeffers, our tendency to turn inward on ourselves and to indulge in human narcissism is at the heart of the social, economic, and existential ills that plague modern societies. As a remedy, Jeffers recommends turning ourselves outward—beyond the self and beyond the human—and learning to affirm and even love the inhuman cosmos in all of its terrible beauty. In the process, Jeffers helps us find our way back to ourselves, but this time no longer as “human” in the traditional sense but as plain members of the inhuman world.
More Meditations of a Militant Moderate
The book collects almost thirty-five opinion pieces, essays, and two poems by the author on a wide variety of public policy topics written and published between 2006 and 2022. The author, a self-described “militant moderate,” draws on his participation in many public debates. The articles are grouped into six, topical groupings that range widely: the growing need for moderate voices in policy debates; the nature of American exceptionalism; the challenge of civic discourse; the depredations of the Trump’s first term; and policies concerning immigration, citizenship, and refugees.
The Drowning Season
To find two missing women, a detective must dive into the secrets of her past in a blood-freezing novel of suspense by USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb. Detective Adeline Cooper swore she’d never return to Mississippi, where her corrupt family rules through fear and her career was upended by betrayal. But then she receives a photograph of a local woman who has gone missing, along with a cryptic, chilling message: Pretty, pretty princess. See her smile…see her die. Soon after Adeline arrives in her hometown, a second woman is kidnapped, and there are disturbing connections between the two victims and the detective. Both women bear an eerie resemblance to Adeline and share her fear of water. A new message makes the kidnapper’s game terrifyingly clear: You’re next. When past and present collide at the river’s edge, Adeline will finally understand why she’s been dreaming of drowning her whole life. Revised edition: Previously published as Anywhere She Runs, this edition of The Drowning Season includes editorial revisions.

Saab 9-3
The story of the Saab 9-3 is full of twists and turns, from its origins before the 9-3 name even existed to its unexpected rebirth as an electric vehicle decades later. Bizarrely, the first-generation 9-3 was in essence the same car as the Saab 900 built between 1994 and 1998. Equally as bizarre, the second-generation 9-3 lived on well beyond the General Motors era, reappearing in 2013-14 and again from 2019 to 2022. In these later years its familiar Gen2 silhouette concealed an all-electric powertrain, now wearing the badge of new owner NEVS (National Electric Vehicle Sweden) in place of the hallowed Saab Griffin. From 1998 to 2011, the Saab 9-3 was manufactured at the Trollhattan factory in Sweden, carrying the brand's distinctive character into a new era. This book charts the 9-3's evolution under General Motors' stewardship, from the outgoing Saab 900 to the fundamentally similar first-generation 9-3, and on to the redesigned Gen2 model of 2002, this new model being built on GM's Epsilon platform and featuring far more GM-supplied componentry. The Gen1 9-3 came in three guises: four-door Saloon (sedan), two-door Cabriolet convertible and five-door Hatchback. Its Gen2 successor offered Saloon, Cabriolet and SportCombi estate car formats, powered by engines ranging from the 2.0-litre petrol Turbo and 1.9 TiD diesel to the 2.6-litre petrol V6 and the 1.9 TTiD twin-turbo diesel. Stunningly illustrated with over 250 images - many previously unseen - Saab 9-3 includes specially commissioned photography of the high-performance Viggen model, factory archive images, an interview with heroic rallycross legend Per Eklund and a Foreword by Saab insider and photojournalist Kenneth Olausson. It recounts Saab's final decade as a car manufacturer through the development of the 9-3 until its abandonment in 2011 by General Motors, and its brief rebirth as an electric vehicle under NEVS (National Electric Vehicle Sweden), which lingered intermittently until 2022.

What became of Wu Xingxue’s former life? And who, truly, is the Tianxiu Immortal?

The Mayan Oracle
A 47-card deck that reveals the mysteries of the Mayan Calendar, giving readers insight and access to the wisdom and guidance of ancient Maya ancestors.
