Tir
In Tir – the Welsh word for ‘land’ – writer and ecologist Carwyn Graves takes us on a tour of seven key elements of the Welsh landscape, such as the ffridd, or mountain pasture, and the rhos, or wild moorland. By diving deep into the history and ecology of each of these landscapes, we discover that Wales, in all its beautiful variety, is at base just as much a human cultural creation as a natural phenomenon: its raw materials evolved alongside the humans that have lived here since the ice receded. In our modern era of climate concerns and polarised debates on land use, diet and more, it matters that we understand the world we are in and the roads we travelled to get here. By exploring each of these key landscapes and meeting the people who live, work and farm in them, Tir offers hope for a better future; one with stunningly beautiful, richly biodiverse landscapes that are ten times richer in wildlife than they currently are, and still full of humans working the land.

Volá ma po mene
Boh ťa pozná. Volá ťa po mene. Zamysli sa nad tým – Boh, ktorý drží v rukách všetko, čo existuje, pozná práve teba. Má pre teba jedinečné povolanie a dal ti všetko, čo potrebuješ, aby si ho naplnil/-a. Ale ruku na srdce – ako často na to zabúdaš? Ako často žiješ v pochybnostiach, strachu a pocite, že na to nemáš? Táto kniha je pozvaním ku zmene. Sto zamyslení, ktoré ti otvoria oči pre autoritu a moc, ktorú ti Boh dal. Nie preto, aby si sa cítil/-a lepšie na chvíľu – ale aby si mohol/mohla žiť odvážne, prekonávať prekážky a stať sa tým, kým ťa Boh stvoril. Ježiš nám ukázal, ako na to. V každom slove, ktoré povedal. V každom zázraku, ktorý vykonal. V celom svojom živote nám odhalil Božie srdce, myseľ aj dušu. Je naším vzorom – nie vzdialeným ideálom, ale živou cestou, po ktorej môžeme kráčať. Tieto zamyslenia ti pomôžu: hlbšie pochopiť, aký je Boh a aký/aká si ty v jeho očiach, získať duchovnú múdrosť, ktorá ťa premieňa zvnútra, pripraviť sa na mocné vyznania, zakorenené v Božích prísľuboch. Každé vyznanie v tejto knihe je pravdivé. Je založené na Kristovom diele vykúpenia a potvrdené jeho krvou. Keď ich vyslovuješ s vierou, niečo sa deje – v tebe aj okolo teba. Zastav sa. Čítaj. Rozjímaj. A potom nahlas vyhlasuj, kým si. Pretože slová, ktoré vyslovujeme, majú moc. Slová, ktoré vyslovujeme, oslavujú Boha, a jeho slovo sa k nemu nikdy nevráti bez výsledkov, ktoré ho vyvyšujú (Iz 55, 10–11). Si pripravenýú-á objaviť, kým naozaj si?

Szerelmi bánat esetén találj magadnak egy kamuvőlegényt!
Éppen a Big Ben mellett sétálok el és próbálom feldolgozni magamban a világ legrémesebb szakítását, amikor belerohanok egy jóképű idegenbe.
És „sikeresen” leöntöm a tűzforró kávémmal.
Legnagyobb meglepetésemre az áldozatom nem csupán megbocsájtja nekem, hogy tönkretettem az ingét, de abba is szempillantás alatt beleegyezik, hogy eljátssza a kedvemért életem szerelmét. Merthogy el kell terelnem a sajtó figyelmét legutóbbi szívfájdalmamról.
Egy dologban egyetértünk: semmi sem valós az egészből.
Csakhogy minél tovább színleljük a szerelmet, annál nehezebb tartanom magam a megállapodásunkhoz. És a perzselő pillantásaiból ítélve ő is hasonló problémával küzd.
Végül azonban egy este átlépjük a határt… És kezdem úgy érezni, hogy az álvőlegényem tényleg férjnek való.
Louise Bay USA Today bestsellerszerző romantikus regényében egy jóképű angol orvos és egy híres amerikai popsztár szerelmének lehetünk szemtanúi, az esős, de mindig vibráló Londonban.
A róka árnya 3: Night of the Dragon - A sárkány éjszakája
A róka árnya-trilógia epikus fináléja
Minden elveszett? Jumeko és szedett-vedett csapata Ivagoto vad tengeri szikláihoz vándorol, mert csak ott állíthatják meg a démonmestert, aki meg akarja idézni a Nagy Kami sárkányt – hogy a kívánságával sötétségbe és pusztulásba taszítsa a birodalmat. De ez a különös alakokból álló társaság is tisztában van vele, hogy a gonosz erőit még egyesített képességeik és erejük ellenére is
gyakorlatilag lehetetlen legyőzni.
Ráadásul van még egy játékos a tekercsért folyó harcban: egy olyan valaki, aki figyeli őket, a megfelelő pillanatra vár, és akinek a létezéséről senki nem tudott… egészen mostanáig.
Miközben a sötétség felemelkedik, és a káosz eluralkodik, egy vad kicunénak és komor védelmezőjének a legnagyobb gonosszal kell szembenéznie A róka árnya-trilógia nagyszabású utolsó részében.
Várólista és további felnőttmesék
Kevesen tudják olyan hitelesen megszólaltatni az érzelmeknek azt a sokszínű elegyét, amelyet nap mint nap átélünk, mint Rényi Ádám, a "félperces" novellák immár többkötetes mestere. Hiszen ne is tagadjuk: hol ábrándos vágyakozásba merülünk, amikor a vakvéletlen mellénk sodorja egy utazás közben titkos szerelmünket; hol megrökönyödünk, amikor kiderül, hogy idős barátnőnk nemzetközi összeesküvésnek tulajdonítja a késésünket a cukrászdából; hol kínzó kíváncsiságunk hajt bennünket, hogy meglessük az időnként rejtélyes módon felszívódó házastársunkat; hol elönt bennünket a soha be nem vallott sárga irigység, amikor egy közeli ismerős frissen elnyert díjához kell gratulálni; vagy épp a magányosság csalja ki a könnyünket, ha úgy alakul a karácsony, hogy egyedül sütögetjük a zserbót odahaza. S persze ezeken túl is számos húrt megpendítenek a kötet novellái, amelyek a groteszk futamoktól a lírai darabokon át a vitriolos társadalomkritikáig és a kacagtató jelenetekig úgy tartanak görbe tükröt a mai magyar mindennapok és úgy általában a mai ember elé, hogy közben cseppet sem bántóak, épp ellenkezőleg: az író egyfelől a tőle megszokott vérbeli humorral és sziporkázó mondatokkal szórakoztat, másfelől őszinte és szeretetteljes érzékenységgel formálja meg még leghóbortosabb hőseit is. Cserébe pedig mi, olvasók sem tudjuk nem szívből szeretni ezeket a mélyen emberi történeteket.
Ahová mész, oda megyek
Lengyelország, 1938. A kitüntetett katonatiszt, Johann beleszeret a végzős zsidó orvostanhallgatóba, Rachelbe. Amikor összeházasodnak, mindkét család kitagadja őket. Házasságuk boldog és áldott... ám rövid életű.
Miután a németek megtámadják Lengyelországot, Johann eltűnik. Az egyre erősödő lengyel antiszemitizmusnak kiszolgáltatott Rachel és kislánya, Ilona a varsói gettóba kerül.
Rachel tisztában van vele: lánya megmentésének egyedüli módja, ha kiszökteti őt katolikus sógornőjéhez, Irenához. Irena az életét is hajlandó kockáztatni, hogy megmentsen egy zsidó kisgyereket - de vajon lesz hozzá elég ereje?
Az Ahová mész, oda megyek két csodálatos nő igaz történetén alapul, akiknek sorsát a szeretet és a hit kötötte össze a háború, az üldöztetés és a gyűlölet idejé
