Living Planet
A new, fully updated narrative edition of David Attenborough's seminal biography of our world, The Living Planet.
Nowhere on our planet is devoid of life. Plants and animals thrive or survive within every extreme of climate and habitat that it offers. Single species, and often whole communities adapt to make the most of ice cap and tundra, forest and plain, desert, ocean and volcano. These adaptations can be truly extraordinary: fish that walk or lay eggs on leaves in mid-air; snakes that fly; flightless birds that graze like deer; and bears that grow hair on the soles of their feet.
In The Living Planet, David Attenborough's searching eye, unfailing curiosity and infectious enthusiasm explain and illuminate the intricate lives of the these colonies, from the lonely heights of the Himalayas to the wild creatures that have established themselves in the most recent of environments, the city. By the end of this book it is difficult to say which is the more astonishing - the ingenuity with which individual species contrive a living, or the complexity of their interdependence on each other and on the habitations provided by our planet.
In this new edition, the author, with the help of zoologist Matthew Cobb, has added all the most up-to-date discoveries of ecology and biology, as well as a full-colour 64-page photography section. He also addresses the urgent issues facing our living planet: climate change, pollution and mass extinction of species.

The Wilder Way
Eva had it all: a high-flying job, a picture-perfect marriage, a lifestyle that many would aspire to. Yet she couldn't shake the feeling that she is living someone else's dream.
After hitting rock bottom, she bought a one-way ticket to Nepal and left her old life behind in search of her true path in life.
Over the next few years, Eva travelled solo to some of the world's most far-flung places - A lone horse trek in Mongolia, COVID lockdown on a desert island in Yemen and overlanding across the US in an 18-year-old truck with her beloved dog, Vilk. Along the way, she grew an engaged online community and transformed from someone living society's idea of a best life to a person discovering the truth of her own.
But the shift from a rooted life to a transient one was far from straightforward and Eva grappled with the tension between her wanderlust and a longing for somewhere to call home.

Kapela Teraborsuk prichádza s prelomovým albumom Tradícia vs. Moderna, ktorý búra žánrové stereotypy a spája zdanlivo nespojiteľné.

Tento album reprezentuje presne to, čím je Teraborsuk pre našu hudobnú scénu taký vzácny – odvahou prinášať inovácie, ktoré bavia mladú generáciu a zároveň vzdávajú úctu našim koreňom. Ich unikátny rukopis posúva hranice domácej tvorby a dokazuje, že folklór má v modernom šate obrovskú silu.

Tajemné stezky - Za skrytou krásou Ašska
Známý autor literatury faktu a dvojnásobný držitel prestižní literární Polanovy ceny Aleš Česal (* 1976) nás znovu zavede do nejzápadnějších končin naší vlasti. Poprvé se tam s námi vypravil na stránkách knihy Za skrytou krásou Chebska (2020). Zastavili jsme se tehdy krátce i na Ašsku. Po šesti letech se autor na Ašsko znovu vrací, aby zájemcům o historii, přírodu a koneckonců i záhady, tajemné příběhy a zajímavosti představil tento region z méně známé perspektivy.
V kapitolách věnovaným nejstarším dějinám Ašska se seznámíme s tajuplnými runami nebo kruhovými hradišti – takzvanými ringvaly. Vydáme se za šlechtickými rody, které formovaly život zdejších obyvatel i krajinu, a navštívíme jejich sídla, z nichž některá se po letech devastace opět pomalu probouzejí k životu. Neujde nám ani zajímavá historie ašských svatostánků a mnoha kostelů, kapliček a dalších drobných sakrálních památek v okolí. Zjistíme, že Ašsko je rovněž místem, kde se odehrávaly pochmurné události našich novodobých dějin. Dostane se také na svobodné zednáře, tajemné pověsti, lidovou magii a pověry. Na skok se podíváme i k německým sousedům, města, městečka a vesnice na druhé straně hranice určitě stojí za vidění. Knihu doprovází velké množství starých fotografií a pohlednic i současných snímků. Tak tedy vítejte na Ašsku, račte vstoupit.

Apple in China
What if the greatest business success story of the twenty-first century was hiding the West's gravest mistake?
For two decades, Apple poured billions into China, training millions of workers and building the most advanced supply and manufacturing system in history. But those same investments transferred knowledge, skills and power, handing China the tools to challenge America's dominance and putting Apple in the middle of a new Cold War between two superpowers.
Based on hundreds of exclusive interviews, Patrick McGee's gripping exposé reveals Apple's vulnerability for the first time - and shows how one company's triumph inadvertently reshaped the global balance of power.
Lost Boys
An astonishing undercover investigation into the paranoid and misogynistic subcultures of the manosphere, by the Orwell Prize-longlisted author of Hired.
Rarely has there seemed a more confusing time to be a man. This uncertainty has spawned an array of bizarre and harmful underground subcultures, collectively known as the 'manosphere', as men search for new forms of belonging.
In Lost Boys, acclaimed journalist James Bloodworth delves into these worlds and asks: Why are so many men susceptible to the sinister beliefs these groups promote? And what can we do about their pernicious encroachment upon our social and political spheres? Along the way, he enlists in a bootcamp for 'alpha males', dissects cultural figures including Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate, and accompanies modern day Hugh Hefners as they broadcast their jet-set lifestyles to millions of followers.
Combining compulsive memoir with powerful reporting, Lost Boys is an essential guide to understanding young men and modern masculinity
Street, Palace, Square
Can architecture ever be democratic? An elegant, timely new theory of politics and urban design from the acclaimed author of What is Populism? and Democracy Rules
Building requires power and resources - then, once created, our environment structures how we relate to each other. But what would a distinctly democratic built environment look like? Should we prioritize an inclusive process by which as many citizens as possible can decide how a building is designed? Or is it about how architecture and urban spaces can best represent democracy to citizens - and how building and city planning can concretely facilitate democratic action by citizens?
In Street, Palace, Square, political theorist Jan-Werner Müller offers an elegant new account of architecture and democracy that draws on examples from Washington DC to Dhaka, Cairo to Berlin. Ranging widely across political philosophy, history and design, he shows that bringing architecture and democracy together has an unexpected benefit. As we reflect on spaces and symbols on the one hand and our understandings of democracy on the other, we might see possibilities we did not see before: how to create spaces for citizens to make politics their own.
Erno Rubik
Discover the fascinating story of Ernő Rubik, the inventor of the world-famous Rubik’s Cube, and master of creativity and problem-solving!
Ernő Rubik was born in Budapest in Hungary in 1944. His mother was a poet and his father a flight engineer, and as a child Ernő loved colours and shapes, design and geometry. He went to art school but soon realised he wanted to make things that served a purpose as well as looking good. Erno studied architecture and discovered a passion for teaching – he and his students worked together building things and testing ideas in his studio.
Determined to build something that would help his students understand how things move and change shape, Ernő started work on the cube that would make him famous in 1974. It took a lot of time and patience to build, but his ingenuity and perseverance paid off. Ernő’s students both loved and hated the puzzle finding it hugely addictive, so Ernő took it to a games company. And the rest, as they say, is history . . .
A global sensation, the cube soon captivated the world; over 350 million Rubik’s cube have been sold, making it one of the bestselling toys in history. Erno’s success story celebrates the power of curiosity and innovation, showing children that even small ideas can have a big impact.
This inspiring book features vibrantillustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the artist's life.
Carthage
The empire behind the legend
Carthage was a power that dominated the western Mediterranean for almost six centuries before its fall to Rome. The history of the realm and its Carthaginians was subsumed by their conquerors and, along the way, the story of the real Carthage was lost. An ancient North African kingdom, Carthage was the home of Hannibal and of Dido, of war elephants and enormous power and wealth, of great beauty and total destruction.
In this landmark new history, Eve MacDonald tells the essential story of the lost culture of Carthage and of its forgotten people, using brand new archaeological analysis to uncover the history behind the legend. A journey that takes us the Phoenician Levant of the early Iron Age to the Atlantic and all along the coast of Africa, Carthage puts the city and the story of North Africa once again at the centre of Mediterranean history. Reclaimed from the Romans, this, for the very first time, is the Carthaginian version of the tale.
Great Kingdoms of Africa
An essential overview of great kingdoms in African history and their legacies, written by world-leading experts.
From the ancient Nile Valley to the savannas of medieval West Africa, the highlands of Ethiopia and on to the forests, lakes and grasslands to the south, African civilizations have given rise to some of the world's most impressive kingdoms. Yet Africa's history is often little known beyond the devastation wrought by the slave trade and European colonial rule. In this groundbreaking book, nine leading historians of Africa take a fresh look at these great kingdoms and empires over five thousand years of recorded history.
How was kingship forged in Africa and how did it operate? Was dynastic power maintained by consent or by coercion? Did kings - and queens - display and project that power for all to see, or did they hide it away, as beneath the fringed crowns that concealed the faces of sacred Yoruba rulers? In what ways have African peoples themselves recorded, celebrated and critiqued the deeds of their kings? Great Kingdoms of Africa explores some of the most important questions in the continent's deep past.
