Velká kniha - Atlas psů
Přehledný atlas 118 nejoblíbenějších psích plemen: společenská, lovecká, pracovní. Navíc i česká plemena!
U každého plemene najdete fotografie s jeho charakteristickými zástupci a důležité informace o jeho fyzických charakteristikách, původu, obvyklé délce života i typické povaze. Tato publikace nabízí pohled na celou šíři psího rodu: od původních, „primitivních“ plemen, která zůstala po tisíciletí nezměněna, až po houževnaté pomocníky z farem, zástupy loveckých psů či moderní plemena dneška. U každého z nich poodhalíme jeho historii, poradíme, jak jim vytvořit spokojený domov, a přidáme tipy pro každodenní péči.
Protože žádný jiný tvor si k nám nenašel tak blízkou cestu jako právě pes. Provází nás v našich domovech, na pracovištích, a především v našich srdcích. Tato fascinující zvířata v sobě nesou dvě tváře, dva zdánlivé protiklady, a nás neodolatelně přitahují obě. Pes je na jedné straně inteligentní, atletické a nezávislé stvoření, které stojí jen krůček od bran divočiny. Na straně druhé jsme tyto úžasné bytosti přetvořili do stovek rozmanitých plemen. Každé z nich má svůj jedinečný vzhled i povahu a každé bylo zformováno pro velmi specifický účel.

The Enchanted April
''To Those who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine. Small medieval castle on the shores of the Mediterranean to be let For the month of April, above a bay on the Italian Riviera.''Four very different women--the dishevelled and downtrodden Mrs Wilkins, the sad, sweet-faced Mrs Arbuthnot, the formidable widow Mrs Fisher, and the ravishing socialite Lady Caroline Dester--are drawn to the shores of the Mediterranean that April. As each, in turn, blossoms in the warmth of the Italian spring and finds their spirits stirring, quite unexpected changes occur.The Enchanted April (1922) is a deceptive and timely novel immured in a post-war context, a period noted for its wistful and sometimes satiric writings. Von Arnim''s novel is part of this oeuvre and portrays an escape to a carefully described pastoral enclave away from encroaching urbanisation and the spread of new technologies, in an era when the Great War had left many emotionally and physically starved. The journey to San Salvatore by four unhappy women is an escape from stifling parochialism, constraining social and gendered expectations as well as stultifying insularity, but the evocation of an extraordinarily aesthetic and ''enchanted'' location suggests more than personal recuperation.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Shipped off to India
Signing up for a lifetime in India was a sacrifice, no less for the men than for the women they married. What made that sacrifice worthwhile for the young Richard Temple were qualities now seen as old-fashioned: a belief in God and a sense of purpose, inculcated by the East India College, Haileybury. Convinced it was his duty to do good, he set out to work on behalf of the Company, India and the Indians, all too soon made aware by the tumults of 1857 that the land to which he had committed his life was changing forever. One of the most articulate and energetic men of his generation, he would later, as Sir Richard Temple, serve as Finance Minister, Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal and Governor of Bombay. Accompany him through the demanding formative years and his tragically brief marriage, until, aged only thirty-six, he was entrusted with sole control of a whole region to govern.

The follow up to the award winning The Last Blade Priest. Growing tensions between the Mirolene Empire and the League threaten the stability of the world, spreading fear and mistrust across the land. Their rivalries threaten the religion that worships Craithe, the God Mountain, and the resurgence of the fabled, and utterly insane, elven race, it's not a good time to be a reluctant bride about to be married off to seal an alliance between ancient rivals. Princess Syzenne's attitude is famed across the kingdom, but she's hiding a secret. She's a Scourge - a powerful being armed with terrifying abilities at her fingertips. And as political tensions come to a head, it turns out she may not be the only one with the potential to change the world... The Dead Man's Empire revisits the characters and the trials of The Last Blade Priest, adding powerful new characters and plot twists into the growing crisis that is sweeping the world.
Dispatches and Dictators
Oregon Book Award Winner for General NonfictionDispatches and Dictators uncovers the fascinating story of Oregon native Ralph Barnes, the New York Herald Tribune’s European correspondent, who served in Paris, Rome, Moscow, Berlin, and London in the years between the two world wars. Barnes has been praised by colleagues and competitors alike as one of the best reporters of that pivotal era. But since his death in the 1940 crash of a British bomber in Yugoslavia, he has been largely forgotten. With persistence and unusually keen insight, Ralph Barnes reported on Fascism, Communism, Nazism, and the events leading to World War II. Stalin confined Barnes to Moscow for disclosing that millions were dying during the Soviet collectivization of agriculture, and Hitler expelled Barnes from Germany for predicting the Nazi attack on the Soviet Union. In Dispatches and Dictators, historian Barbara Mahoney chronicles the short life and brilliant career of Ralph Barnes. Her biography of this extraordinary reporter provides new insights into the tumultuous decade leading up to World War II.
Complete Deer Stalker
Deer stalking entails much more than walking the countryside with a rifle; there is a great deal to be considered prior to lacing boots and donning a green fleece. It is often said that the real work starts after the trigger has been squeezed. This book looks at all aspects of the pursuit, with clear explanations accompanied by advice, images and anecdotes. In addition, there is a unique reference chapter of all potential conditions a deer may suffer from, with full descriptions and images, and advice on suitability for entering the food chain. Specific coverage includes: laws, leases and making a start obtaining an FAC: the necessary equipment in this technological age; deer species, with identifying images; deer senses and how they shape our approach to them; shot placement and maximum shooting distances; the importance of bullet design and its effect on the carcass; stalking activities by month through the year; after the stalk - sticking, initial evisceration, inspection and recovery; at the larder - hygiene, and who needs to register as a food business and finally, inspecting the carcass, with a library of images showing conditions.
The Margrave's Daughter & the Enemy Prince, Volume 7
Anna, daughter of the Margrave of Halmich, is tired of the expectations placed on women in court. She has no interest in marrying a nobleman because society expects it of her. Instead, she works hard on her swordsmanship and dreams of joining her father on the battlefield someday. Unfortunately, fate deals her a heavy blow: when the hostile forces of the Kingdom of Albion invade and take the Halmich heir prisoner, she is given to the enemy prince in exchange for her brother's life. But even in the face of these tragic circumstances, Anna still has plans of her own: 'I'll infiltrate their ranks as a tribute, and then... I'll defeat the man who killed my father.'
Bird, Nest & Egg
This book is meticulously designed as a large-format visual portfolio of the world s most distinctive birds, whose nesting behavior and natural beauty are celebrated in beautifully detailed graphite and watercolor illustrations all based on actual field studies. The exquisitely detailed bird, nest, and egg portraits are framed by details that include building techniques, materials, egg characteristics (shapes, colors, and number in a clutch), hatchlings and chicks, and parenting behaviors. Nowhere is avian ingenuity more beautifully expressed than in the construction of nests. The book is organized into chapters based on species nesting techniques: South America s crested oropendola, whose intricate, pendulous, sphere-like nests hang in trees like holiday ornaments; Arizona s ferruginous pygmy owl, whose nests are hidden in vicious yet protective thorns and bristles of giant saguaro cacti; and peregrine falcons, who scrape out a shallow depression called an eyrie in the sides of cliffs or in urban settings ledges on skyscrapers. This beautiful book celebrates the very idea of making a warm, cozy home. It is also a timely reminder of the diversity, beauty, and ingenuity of the avian world.
Sexual Heresies
Thinking about relationships between religion and sexuality usually focuses on what religion has to say about sex. But new ideas about sex could also transform religion itself. In Britain at the end of the nineteenth century, the new sexual sciences—from anthropological accounts of religion as rooted in ancient fertility cults to psychoanalytic theories that explained religious experience in terms of psychosexual development—characterized religion as closely connected to the sexual. The outcome, as Joy Dixon traces in this book, was a new sense that religion itself could be sexually suspect. One result of that new suspicion was an increasing concern to police "sexual heresies" and to produce a supposedly normal (healthy, monogamous, and heterosexual) religiosity. The overall effect was a narrowing of the sexual possibilities inside "orthodox" religion and the increasing association of alternative forms of religion with dissident and marginal sexualities that continues to shape both religion and secularism today. Considering a wide range of materials emerging from a diverse array of British society, from modernist theologians and practitioners of sexual magic to conservative Christians and radical freethinkers, this book emphasizes the dynamic relationships between the histories of religion and of sexuality and the historical contingency of the categories we have used to understand the relationship between the two.
The Difference Place Makes
How do places shape peacebuilding interventions? Put simply, they are eventful. Geographers have long argued that places are constituted by relations with the wider world, relations that are always in flux. In this theoretically and empirically innovative book Adam Moore argues that the inverse is also true: places are of generative of relations. People and institutions are constituted by their relations with places, relations that extend beyond a particular place in question itself. Drawing on relational and processual perspectives across the social sciences, Moore analyzes the effects that an infamous black market in postwar Bosnia—the Arizona market—had on peacebuilding projects and actors, and sociopolitical relations across the country more generally. Through encounters with, and narratives about, the market, the relations and politics of various actors in Bosnia at the time—from the UN to ordinary citizens—were transformed. Arizona's effects also radiated across time and space, even after it was dismantled, influencing political and social relations in Bosnia and further afield up to the present day. Bringing together scholarship in geography and peace and conflict studies, this book is a must-read for both fields and beyond.

Someone went for a bathroom break mid-film, and you just knew it's because they think your taste in films is terrible.
You were so upset you missed the rest of the film, and they left early.
Rejection is physically painful for you. Even the most minor criticism stings. And why wouldn't it? By the time you were 12, you'd received 20,000 negative messages about yourself, your brain and your unique ADHD way of living life.
20,000.

He'll use the insights he's gained from the world's top experts on ADHD to share with you some simple steps to regaining your boundaries, your confidence and your self-belief.
You are not 'too sensitive' - nor are you broken. You were always enough.

Prokletý deník
Když se autor hororů Thad McAlister pustil do psaní své nejnovější knihy vycházející z čarodějnických procesů v Massachusetts, plynula slova sama od sebe. Příběh se valil vpřed a zaplňoval stránku za stránkou skutky té nejděsivější postavy, kterou jeho představivost kdy stvořila. Bylo to jeho největší dílo, takové, které by mu zajistilo místo mezi legendami žánru.
Šlo však skutečně o fikci?
Neúmyslně otevřel dveře do světa, jenž měl brzy ohrozit životy jeho blízkých.
Ona se chce vrátit.
Jeho žena doma bojuje, aby udržela jejich rodinu naživu. Ve skrytu duše však přemýšlí, zda to vše nezpůsobila sama… obchodem, který uzavřela před dávnou dobou.
ÚRYVEK Z DENÍKU CLAYTONA STONA – 1692
Dnes byla vyslýchána bez mučení v městysi Shadow Cove na základě obvinění z čarodějnictví. Tvrdila, že se toho zločinu nedopustila a nikdy v životě se nezřekla Boha. Díval jsem se, jak ji vyvádějí ven. Ubohou, neduživou bytost, vyčerpanou časem stráveným za zdmi žaláře. Bosé nohy a ruce měla spoutané koženými řemeny, oděv rozervaný na cáry. Navzdory svému stavu šla s hlavou vztyčenou a hleděla svým žalobcům zpříma do očí. Stále odmítá prozradit své jméno, takže nemůžeme vyhledat záznam o jejím křtu, a nemá ani rodinu, jež by předstoupila a označila ji za svou. Nemáme důvod věřit, že je něčím jiným než sirotkem. Shledávám, že na ni ve chvílích předcházejících jejímu procesu nedokáži pohlédnout zpříma. Ona mě však sleduje očima v odstínu té nejtmavší modři.

Když je však jeho tajemství ohroženo, opustí svůj domov ve městě Rourov a po boku své nejlepší kamarádky Oakley a následníka trůnu Yorika se vydá na nebezpečnou výpravu, která ho uvrhne doprostřed královského spiknutí.

Nedobrovolné dobrodruhy čeká putování po říši jménem Esseriel, kde kdysi držela nad lidmi ochrannou ruku čtyři větrná božstva. Pak ovšem Bůh Hlubokého lesa stvořil rasy fúrií nebo upírů a lidská království se začala hroutit. A právě tajemství Wyndova původu možná souvisí s osudem celé říše.
