Wolf Worm
The year is 1899 and Sonia Wilson is a scientific illustrator without work, prospects or hope. When the reclusive Dr. Halder offers her a position illustrating his vast collection of insects, Sonia jumps at the chance to move to his North Carolina manor house and put her talents to use.
But soon enough she finds that there are darker things at work in the Carolina woods.
What happened to her predecessor, Halder's wife?
Why are animals acting so strangely?
And what is behind the peculiar local whispers about 'blood thieves'?
With the aid of the housekeeper and a local healer, Sonia discovers that Halder's entomological studies have taken him down a dark road full of parasitic maggots that burrow into human flesh - and that his monstrous experiments may grow to encompass his newest illustrator . . .
Emperor of the Seas
Genghis Khan built a formidable land empire, but he never crossed the sea.
Yet by the time his grandson Kublai Khan had defeated the last vestiges of the Song empire and established the Yuan dynasty in 1279, the Mongols controlled the most powerful navy in the world. How did a nomad come to conquer China and master the sea? Based on ten years of research and a lifetime of immersion in Mongol culture and tradition, Emperor of the Seas brings this little-known story vibrantly to life. Kublai Khan is one of history’s most fascinating characters.
He brought Islamic mathematicians to his court, where they invented modern cartography and celestial measurement. He transformed the world’s largest land mass into a unified, diverse and economically progressive empire, introducing paper money. And, after bitter early setbacks, he transformed China into an outward looking sea-faring empire.
By the end of his reign, the Chinese were building and supplying remarkable ships to transport men, grain, and weapons over vast distances, of a size and dexterity that would be inconceivable in Europe for hundreds of years. Khan had come to a brilliant realization: control the sea, and you control everything.
Lazar
The snow of the dying century still lay on the edge of the dark forest when Lajos von Lázár, the translucent child with water-blue eyes, first glimpsed the man he would believe to be his father for his whole life and beyond.
Lajos von Lázár is brought into this world with the dawn of the new century, and his birth is both a miracle and a curse, his true patrimony a secret he will never know. The Lázárs have ruled their Hungarian lands for generations. In their ancient castle by the edge of a dark forest that compels all who enter it to madness, they succumb to every vice and live only to satiate their desires. But the old order is crumbling, and the days of the Hapsburg Monarchy are numbered.
When Lajos inherits, they at last have a baron who can reignite the old splendours, but not even his abilities are proof against the ravages of war and occupation. It will fall to his children - a boy who talks to shadows and a girl who eschews her blue blood - to find a way to stand against oppression and take the first faltering steps towards freedom.

Chinese Propaganda Posters. 45th Ed.
With his smooth, warm, ruddy face which radiated light in all directions, Chairman Mao Zedong was a fixture in Chinese propaganda posters produced between the birth of the People’s Republic in 1949 and the early 1980s.
Chairman Mao, portrayed as a stoic superhero (aka the Great Teacher, the Great Leader, the Great Helmsman, the Supreme Commander), appeared in all kinds of situations (inspecting factories, smoking a cigarette with peasant workers, standing by the Yangzi River in a bathrobe, presiding over the bow of a ship, or floating over a sea of red flags), flanked by strong, healthy, ageless men and “masculinized” women and children wearing baggy, sexless, drab clothing. The goal of each poster was to show the Chinese people what sort of behavior was considered morally correct and how great the future of Communist China would be if everyone followed the same path toward utopia by uniting together.
This book brings together a selection of colorful propaganda artworks and cultural artifacts of Chinese propaganda posters, many of which are now extremely rare.
Poznaj svoje EMÓCIE a rozprávaj sa s nimi
Kniha učí čitateľa premeniť svoje negatívne emócie na emócie pozitívne. Učí sebariadeniu emócii. Robí tak pomocou brilantného systému dialógov. Učí čitateľa viesť vnútorný dialóg tak, že vytvára jasný algoritmus, ktorý negatívnu emóciu zoslabuje, pozitívnu posilňuje a človek si vytvára nové myšlienkové „okuliare“. Čitateľ si vytvorí nový „automatický vnútorný hlas“. Ak človek číta desiatky dialógov, mozog si vytvorí nové frázy, nový tón, nový spôsob reakcie na seba, nový štýl argumentácie. To je presne ten návyk, ktorý človek potrebuje, aby zvládal úzkosti, reguloval hnev, posilnil sebavedomie, a zlepšil sebaprijatie. Toto je extrémne účinné a učí čitateľa priamo, názorne, opakovane a to je presne to, čo ľuďom chýba v ich vlastnej hlave.

A kötet tartalma:
Diamantét mintha a föld nyelte volna el, nem sokkal azután, hogy egy tikos hódolótól mesés ruhát kapott ajándékba. Testvérei kétségbeesetten erednek a nyomába. A hercegnő nélkül darabokra hullik az Öt Védelmezőt összefűző kötelék, és a Varázslatok Földje örökre elveszhet...

Első nap az iskolában
Róza egy barna szemű nyúlkisasszony. Most egy kicsit ideges, mert holnap lesz az első napja az iskolában – tanító néniként.
Ahogy a gyerekek is izgulnak az első tanítási nap miatt, úgy Róza tanító néni is aggódik egy picit. Mi lesz, ha valamit nem jól csinál, milyenek lesznek a gyerekek, hogy fog kijönni velük? Persze amint elkezdődik a nap, kiderül, hogy nincs mitől tartaniuk, Róza néni kedves, és a gyerekek is aranyosak. Bár nem megy minden zökkenőmentesen, a mese végére kiderül, egyáltalán nem is olyan vészes az iskolába járás.
Bolhaváros
Van egy hely, Bolhaváros, ami kutyául különleges. A lakói ugyanis mind kutyák, akik nagyon szeretik egymást és a városukat. Sokat vannak a szabadban, beszélgetnek az utcán, a kölykök rohangálnak fel és alá, és a Jutifalat cukrászdában kapni a legfinomabb fagylaltot.
Ám egy napon az egyik kutya autót vesz magának. Nahát, micsoda vagányság! Hamarosan minden bolhavárosi kutya autóval jár mindenhova. Igen ám, de az utcákon már szinte semmi hely sincs a gyalogosoknak, a kutyák már nem beszélgetnek egymással, mindenki csak ül az autójában idegesen, nyomja a dudát, áll a dugóban. Ráadásul szörnyen büdös is van. Hol van már az a barátságos és kedves hely, amit eddig Bolhavárosként ismertek a lakói? De semmi sincs veszve! A kutyák felismerik, hogy sokkal jobb, ha nem mindenhova autóval mennek, és bátran lehet a gyerekeknek ide-oda szaladgálniuk az utcán, és a felnőttek is nyugodtan mehetnek gyalog. Úgy még beszélgetni is tudnak az ismerőseikkel.
Ha egy igazán vicces és szórakoztató könyvet keresel, amiben szóba kerül, hogy miért fontos, hogy ne csak mindig autózzunk, amikor gyalogolni is tudunk, akkor Ivan Mitrevski könyvét neked találták ki.

Mindenkitől képes őt megvédeni, csak saját magától nem...
Alana Gore veszélyben van. Könyörtelen sajtósként
nem kevés ellenséget szerzett magának az évek során, de egy rémületes
zaklatóra még ő sem számított. Testőrre van szüksége, de az egyetlen férfi,
akitől segítséget kérhet, nemcsak hihetetlenül dögös, de köztudott,
hogy az ízlése a nők terén enyhén szólva is merész.
Chandlernek egy szabálya van: soha ne védj olyat, akit meg akarsz dugni.
De Alana esetében csapdába esik a munkája és az egyre növekvő libidója között.
Egyrészt Alanának szüksége van a segítségére. Másrészt viszont
Chandler másra sem vágyik, mint hogy megzabolázza a tüzes nőt,
és addig kínozza gyönyörrel, amíg teljesen alá nem veti magát.
Alana védelemre szorul, Chandler pedig kielégülésre.
De amint átlépik ezt a határt, elszabadul a pokol…
