Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion - and the Future of Clothes
'A gripping blockbuster ... Thomas researches meticulously and writes with simmering even-handed anger' TELEGRAPH. Fashionopolis is the definitive book on the cost of fast fashion, and a blueprint for how we get to a more sustainable future.
Fashion has blighted our planet. Today, one out of six people on earth work in fashion, churning out 100 billion garments a year. Yet 98 percent of them do not earn a living wage, and 2.1 billion tonnes of clothing is thrown away annually. The clothing industry's exploitation of fellow humans and the environment has reached epic levels. What should we do?
Bestselling author and veteran journalist Dana Thomas has travelled the globe to find the answers. In Fashionopolis, she details the damage wrought by fashion's behemoths, and celebrates the visionaries - including activists, artisans, designers, and tech entrepreneurs - fighting for change.
We all have been casual about our clothes. It's time to get dressed with intention. Fashionopolis is the first comprehensive look at how to start.

The Song of Achilles
A beautiful new limited edition paperback of The Song of Achilles, published as part of the Bloomsbury Modern Classics list
The god touches his finger to the arrow's fletching. Then he breathes, a puff of air - as if to send dandelions flying, to push toy boats over water. And the arrow flies, straight and silent, in a curving, downward arc towards Achilles' back.
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, the boys develop a tender friendship, a bond which blossoms into something deeper as they grow into young men.
But when Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Achilles is dispatched to distant Troy to fulfil his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.
Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt
Spanning a lifetime of love and loss, crossing borders and oceans, Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt, co-authored by her son Harry Whittaker, draws Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters series to its stunning, unforgettable conclusion.
1928, Paris
A boy is found, moments from death, and taken in by a kindly family. Gentle, precocious, talented, he flourishes in his new home, and the family show him a life he hadn't dreamed possible. But he refuses to speak a word about who he really is.
As he grows into a young man, falling in love and taking classes at the prestigious Conservatoire de Paris, he can almost forget the terrors of his past, or the promise he has vowed to keep. But across Europe an evil is rising, and no-one's safety is certain. In his heart, he knows the time will come where he must flee once more.
2008, the Aegean
The seven sisters are gathered together for the first time, on board the Titan to say a final goodbye to the enigmatic father they loved so dearly.
To the surprise of everyone, it is the missing sister who Pa Salt has chosen to entrust with the clue to their pasts. But for every truth revealed, another question emerges. The sisters must confront the idea that their adored father was someone they barely knew. And even more shockingly: that these long-buried secrets may still have consequences for them today.
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
A searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war
Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest.
But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
Ten years after his prizewinning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths.

The Psychology of Money
Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.
Money-investing, personal finance, and business decisions-is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.
In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

Throne of the Fallen
She didn't want Prince Charming. She wanted the demon.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco, Throne of the Fallen is a seductive new standalone novel set within the Kingdom of the Wicked world.
A wicked prince. A fallen painter.
Let the games begin . . .
The Prince of Envy has never claimed to be a saint.
But when a cryptic note arrives at his demon court, signalling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows it will take more than a hint of sin to win. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way.
Camilla is an artist with troubles of her own: a desperate mistake has landed her in debt to a notorious rake. Threatened with ruinous scandal, she is forced to enter a devil's bargain with Envy.
A bargain that reveals secrets and ignites passions that neither of them expects.
Together, Envy and Camilla must embark on a perilous journey through the underworld - from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm and beyond - while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.

Lord of the Flies
A plane crashes on a desert island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the imag
e of a terrifying beast. As the boys' delicate sense of order fades, so their childish dreams are transformed into something more primitive, and their behaviour starts to take on a murderous, savage significance. First published in 1954, "Lord of the
Flies" is one of the most celebrated and widely read of modern classics.
Správa od Lukáša - The Message of Luke
SPRÁVA od Lukáša / The MESSAGE of Luke je slovensko - anglické vydanie dynamického prekladu biblických kníh Evanjelium podľa Lukáša a Skutky apoštolov. Obidve knihy napísal pôvodne v prvom storočí Lukáš - lekár, historik a blízky spolupracovník apoštola Pavla. Eugene Peterson o ňom napísal: „Lukáš je obhajcom všetkých, čo sú mimo. Tiež bol outsider – jediný pohan medzi židovskými autormi Novej zmluvy. Rozpráva príbeh Ježiša, ktorý prijíma všetkých, s ktorými náboženské štruktúry zaobchádzali ako s vydedencami – a tými boli ženy, pastieri, rasovo odlišní Samaritáni a všetci chudobní. Odmieta náboženstvo ako výlučný klub. My všetci, ktorí sa pozeráme na život zvonku, bez nádeje, že natrafíme na tajný vchod, vstupujeme zrazu do príbehu, ako ho rozpráva Lukáš a nachádzame doširoka otvorené dvere - cítime sa nájdení a vítaní Bohom – v Ježišovi.“ Touto knihou vydavateľstvo Porta Libri zahájilo novú sériu, na konci ktorej bude úplné vydanie Novej zmluvy, na základe adaptácie prekladu Biblie od Eugena Petersona z hovorovej angličtiny do modernej slovenčiny. O autorovi: Eugene H. Peterson (1932) je kazateľ, teológ, učiteľ, spisovateľ a básnik. Dlhé roky pôsobil ako pastor v Marylande (US) a neskôr bol profesorom teológie na Regent College vo Vancouveri. Viac ako desať rokov pracoval na preklade Biblie z pôvodných jazykov – hebrejčiny a gréčtiny, do modernej hovorovej angličtiny. To, čo začalo ako skromná služba pre členov jeho cirkevného zboru, v snahe priblížiť im starobylé texty, sa stalo ojedinelým fenoménom. Biblia, známa pod názvom „The MESSAGE“ vrátila Knihu kníh do rúk mladej generácie po celom svete.

Lacná kniha The Tibetan Book of the Dead (-70%)
"The Dalai Lama's blessing attends Thurman's translation of the Book of Natural Liberation Through Understanding in the Between. Composed by Padma Sambhava in the late 8th century, this text minutely describes the 'betweens' (Bardos) or after-death
transition states. Thurman, who opens this work with a new section of preliminary prayers, gives a helpful commentary in terms Westerners can understand and boldface portions to be read aloud in the presence of the dead. He closes by appending Nyingm
a tradition works to the main text.... Westerners will find this a colorful, awesome journey."Library Journal
