The Forest Called You
Worship the idol. Fall for the real girl.
In a future Korea, those who can afford to have retreated from the ravaged world outside, slipping on virtual reality headsets to lose themselves in simulations of the past.
But high school student Soop, unable to access VR, is bullied by her classmates for being forced to remain in the real world. Her only solace comes from the K-pop she listens to on repeat. When Yichae - Soop's favourite idol - comes to film a new music video at her school, Soop hopes this might be her chance at real connection.
But Yichae has her own troubles. She is one of few remaining 'real' idols, celebrated for her authenticity, yet forced to live up to the unattainable beauty standards of her virtual counterparts. As Soop and Yichae are drawn closer through their shared love of music and unexpected feelings start to grow, both must question how to stay true to themselves and each other in an increasingly artificial world.

Ipswich: A Potted History
Ipswich grew around its port, established during Anglo-Saxon times for trade with northwestern continental Europe. It became an important religious centre in the Middle Ages, in one of the most populated and wealthy areas of the country. Alongside the docks, and the two rivers, the Orwell and Gipping, industries grew up to support the local agricultural economy and the population migrated from surrounding areas as well as from further afield and abroad. The mix has given Ipswich a lively cultural history that remains to the present day and alongside the working dock area much of the waterfront has been redeveloped for leisure and housing but as with all large towns, particularly ports, Ipswich’s history also encompasses how it had to deal with justice, crime and punishment.Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Ipswich has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors and all those with links to the town.
Tank Art
Mick Graham, acclaimed artist and veteran soldier of the Royal Tank Regiment, has been interested in tanks his entire life. As a young lad in the late 1960s he used to play on the obsolete Bundeswehr M47s and M48s heading down range at Hohne, Germany, where his father was stationed. He went on to fire at these same ‘hard targets’ as a Chieftain tank gunner in the early 1980s. Always cherishing these moments, he dabbled in painting during his military career but never felt his work was anything special. Having resumed painting seven years ago, today, Mick’s stunning depictions of tanks in their natural environment with incredible attention to detail are highly sought after by veterans, serving soldiers, museums and companies such as Royal Mail.Lavishly illustrated with more than a hundred original artworks, this book tells the story of an ex-tankie with a unique and self-taught talent for bringing back to life the memories of service members, young and old.

Košík a lednička plné hlav
V jedné knize najdete oba díly kriminálního hororu z hlavy slavného Joea Hilla (Rohy, Vánoční říše, Ohnivý muž, Zámek a klíč), tvůrce, o kterém se už dávno nedá psát jen jako o „synovi Stephena Kinga“.
June Branchová je v průšvihu. Zůstala lapená na Brody Islandu a nemá kam utéct. Jejího přítele Liama unesla čtveřice krvežíznivých uprchlých trestanců, kteří se nezastaví, dokud ji nenajdou. Jediné, čím se může chudák June bránit, je prapodivná vikinská sekera s děsivou mocí – hlavy lidí, které setne, totiž zůstávají naživu. Pokud má tedy June zachránit Liama i sama sebe, nesmí teď ztratit hlavu... a už vůbec ne plný košík hlav!
No a jako nášup je tu i neméně hororové a akční pokračování, ve kterém už na hlavy bude nutná celá lednička!

Bone of My Bone
USA Today bestseller and Bram Stoker Award nominee Johanna van Veen unveils a sapphic folk horror tour de force-perfect for fans of The VVitch and The Salt Grows Heavy. A skull's grin is eternal…
The year is 1635.
Sister Ursula, a young nun fleeing the ruins of her convent, and Elsebeth, a sharp-witted peasant, escape a band of marauding soldiers and disappear into the Bavarian forest. War scorches the land, and no one survives it alone. Amid the devastation, they find something in the arms of a dying man: the gilded skull of a saint.
It is said that if you reunite the saint's skull with her body, a wish will be granted. Desperate for salvation, and each with secret desires of their own, Ursula and Elsebeth follow a ragged map across the blighted countryside. But darkness follows them. A necromancer, drawn to the relic's power. The saint herself, whispering at night. And as the lines between blessing and curse blur, the women must face a harrowing truth: the magic they seek comes at a cost.
At the journey's end, they'll face an impossible choice-one that could tear apart everything they know…or bind them to each other forever.
As beautiful and tender as it is dark and terrifying, Bone of My Bone showcases one of queer horror's most exciting writers in her most chilling tale yet.

Elsewhere
Elsewhere is the definitive oral history of British skateboarding. Told chronologically from the beginning of its identity shift to the start of the new millennium, the book explores the lasting influence British skateboarding continues to have on fashion, film, photography, art and media.
While British skateboarders moved the sport away from its Californian roots, embracing a different terrain with skaters in the north taking to ramps in abandoned warehouses and in the south skating the streets of new developments, the story of skateboarding in the UK goes far beyond the act of riding a board. As important were the cottage industries of clothes manufacture, photography, filmmaking and zine production which were inspired by British skateboarders: many of which are now multi-million-pound brands which regulate mainstream culture today.
Suitable not only for skaters but for anyone interested in film, fashion and photography, Elsewhere tells the story of skateboarding in the UK during the pivotal era of 1987–2002 when the British iteration of the sport developed its own unique identity and subsequently went on to inspire and transform global popular culture.
Communication
All animals communicate with each other in one form or another, but humans are unique in that we have been able to go much further, creating languages and symbols to share and explain ideas, feelings and abstract concepts. Communication has allowed us to make breakthroughs in science and convey emotions through art and music, and in order to communicate faster and farther, we have created technologies ranging from writing to the Internet. Almost everything we do during the day is a form of communication – not only when we speak, listen, read or write, but also when we see road signs or read each other’s body language. This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of communication in all its many forms, from ancient times to AI.

An Africa Ago
In 1968, aged 21, John Western left England, not realising that he might never bother to return. The boy who had always loved maps, trains and travel to new places was posted by Voluntary Service Overseas to a missionary school in rural Burundi, Central Africa. From the world's longest-industrialised country, he pitches into what was probably then its least industrialised nation. For two years, Western experiences life in an 'overwhelmingly illiterate subsistence economy of material poverty' - realities that provide the foundation for his fourth book, An Africa Ago. Two years after he leaves to study in the United States, Burundi's Tutsi ruling minority massacres 100,000 Hutus after an attempted coup against the military dictatorship. In 1975, Western - by this time, living in South Africa to research a doctoral thesis about apartheid in Cape Town - revisits Burundi to assess the aftermath. What he encounters will haunt him for ever. Of the schoolboys he taught, many have vanished into mass graves - carted off in lorries, still alive, then layered face down under rocks. 'The little mission hill,' he finds, 'is now a place of desolation, of widows and orphans and injustice'. Meanwhile, at the southern tip of this complex continent, Western's inside stories of the lives of Cape Town's 'Coloured' (mixed-race) residents, under the heel of 1970s apartheid, reveal an attempt to dominate, oppress and humiliate - not merely to racially segregate. But Western's memoir is not all darkness. There is adventure too - tales of overlanding 7,500 miles in barely two months, most by hitchhiking, Western's route taking in Botswana, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Zambia, Tanzania, and Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo). And there are accounts of strong bonds forged with working-class Afrikaners utterly removed from any political or racial disputes, the unexpected point of connection being a shared love of locomotives as the era of the steam engine was drawing to its close. And it is trains with which An Africa Ago closes - a luxurious journey on a Namibian 'sealed hotel-on-wheels' from which the author offers us a self-conscious, 21st-century return to the era of white settler colonialism in southern Africa.
Chelmsford Buses in the Twenty-first Century
This book documents the surprisingly varied bus scene in Chelmsford, one of Britain’s newest cities, since 2000. Although the main operator is First, whose fleet in the city is mainly single deck due to the famous low railway bridge in Duke Street, the fleet does still have a number of double-deckers. In fact, the number of double-deckers in Chelmsford has increased in recent years as First have converted several inter urban routes to double-deck operation. The new liveries recently introduced by First are also featured in this book. In addition to First, Chelmsford continues to be served by other operators such as Arriva, Stephensons and Go Ahead Group subsidiary Hedingham. Regal Busways were also a familiar sight in Chelmsford before their demise. All are included here.Containing high-quality photographs, this book will appeal to those interested in the ever evolving and fascinating bus scene in Chelmsford.

Jako vždy je perfektně připravená a má přesně naplánovaný každý další krok. Rušivým faktorem jejích plánů se ale stane setkání s Jakem Millsem, s nímž ji spojují jen negativní vzpomínky. A aby toho nebylo málo, tento syn dvou slavných oceánologů s ní teď nejen studuje, ale dokonce jí byl přidělen i jako partner při práci na důležitém výzkumném projektu.
Jake je jejím pravým opakem – žije ze dne na den a nebere nic vážně, tedy až na fotografování podmořského světa, kterým chce pomoct zachránit oceán. A tak se tito dva navenek naprosto odlišní lidé, kteří se nesnáší, musí naučit spolu vycházet. A čím déle spolu pracují a poznávají se, tím rychleji mizí jejich předsudky. Spojují je totiž důležitá témata – láska k moři a jeho ochrana, vztahy s rodiči a vypořádání se s vážným onemocněním.
