Becoming Dinah
"A gripping, heart-wrenching coming-of-age story" - Guardian
In her first YA novel, Costa-shortlisted Kit de Waal responds to classic Moby Dick by tearing the power away from obsessive Captain Ahab and giving it to a teenage girl.
Dinah's whole world is upside down, dead things and angry men and cuts all over her head that are beginning to sting....
Seventeen-year-old Dinah needs to leave her home, the weird commune where she grew up. She needs a whole new identity, starting with how she looks, starting with shaving off her hair, her 'crowning glory'. She has to do it quickly, because she has to go now.
Dinah was going to go alone and hitch a ride down south. Except, she ends up being persuaded to illegally drive a VW campervan for hundreds of miles, accompanied by a grumpy man with one leg. This wasn't the plan.
But while she's driving, Dinah will be forced to confront everything that led her here, everything that will finally show her which direction to turn...
In her first YA novel, Costa-shortlisted author Kit de Waal responds to the classic Moby Dick with entirely new characters, a VW campervan, and by tearing the power away from obsessive Captain Ahab and giving it to a teenage girl who's determined to find a new life, far away from her unconventional upbringing.

THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER
BRITISH BOOK AWARDS, NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR
THE SUNDAY TIMES, MEMOIR OF THE YEAR
BOOKS OF THE YEAR: THE TIMES, OBSERVER, GUARDIAN, EVENING STANDARD
Now in paperback featuring a new introduction by Michelle Obama, a letter from the author to her younger self, and a book club guide with 20 discussion questions and a 5-question Q&A, the intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States
In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her -- from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it -- in her own words and on her own terms.
Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations -- and whose story inspires us to do the same.
Becoming: Adapted for Younger Readers
*A younger reader's edition of the number-one bestselling memoir by former first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama. With a new introduction from Mrs Obama herself*
What's important is our story, our whole story, including those moments when we feel a little vulnerable . . .
Michelle Robinson started life sharing a bedroom with her older brother Craig, in their family's upstairs apartment in her great-aunt's house. Her parents, Fraser and Marian, poured their love and energy into their children. She would go on to become Michelle Obama, the inspirational First Lady of the United States of America.
Now adapted for younger readers, with new photographs and a new introduction from Michelle Obama herself, this memoir tells a very personal, and completely inspiring, story of how, through hard work and determination, the girl from the South Side of Chicago built an extraordinary life.
A tale of ups and downs, triumphs and failures, this is an incredibly honest account. It will take you from the early years - first kiss, first school, first love - to the wonders of the White House, and the moment Mrs Obama shook hands with the Queen of England.
A book to read, share, and talk about with the adults in your life, this is a call to action and compassion, and hope for change in uncertain times, and in a scary world.
You'll be inspired to help others, and understand that no one is perfect. Just like Michelle Obama, you too are finding out exactly who you want to be (and, actually, so are the adults in your life).
Above all, it is a book to make you think: who are you, and what do you want to become?

Becoming Wild
Culture is something exclusive to human beings, isn't it?
Not so, says intrepid researcher Carl Safina.
Becoming Wild reveals the rich cultures that survive in some of Earth's remaining wild places. By showing how sperm whales, scarlet macaws and chimpanzees teach and learn, Safina offers a fresh understanding of what is constantly going on beyond humanity, and how we're all connected.

Beach Boys, The - Becoming The Beach Boys: The Complete Hits & Dorinda Morgan Sessions 2CD
KDO: Jedna z největších kapel americké hudební historie. Beach Boys vznikli v roce 1961 v Kalifornii, kde ji založili bratři Brian, Dennis a Carl Wilsonové a jejich přátelé Al Jardine a Mike Love. Prosluli jediněčnými vokálními harmoniemi a texty, jež reflektovaly kulturu a zájmy kalifornské mládeže. Také proto se Beach Boys stali reprezentantem tzv. California Sound hudební vlny, které se později říkalo také sunshine pop. Natočili řadu desek, celosvětově prodali přes 100 milionů jejich kopií a dodnes jsou v tomto smyslu jednou z nejúspěšnějších skupin.
CO: Sběratelská rarita! Poprvé vycházejí uplně první dochované nahrávky jedné z největších amerických kapel. Třiašedesát raritních skladeb, z nichž rovných čtyřicet nebylo dosud zveřejněno! V září 1961 se Al Jardine, Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson a Mike Love sešli poprvé společně u mikrofonu v domě Hite a Dorindy Morganových a natočili první tři písně Beach Boys. Do března 1962, kdy Beach Boys podepsali sedmiletý kontrakt s Capitol Records, vzniklo v improvizovaném studiu ještě několik dalších nahrávek - některé jsou ikonické, jiné značně obskurní. Všechny včetně pokažených naleznete v této 2CD kolekci!

Hormonální jógová terapie
V této knize vám uznávaná terapeutka představuje novou formu dynamické jógy - hormonální jógovou terapii, která je sestavena tak, aby znovu aktivovala tvorbu ženských pohlavních hormonů, jejichž hladina se snižuje v průběhu menopauzy.
Tato technika však pomáhá také mladším ženám, které trpí PMS (premenstruačním syndromem), bolestivou menstruací, polycystickými vaječníky a některými příčinami neplodnosti. Cviky jógové terapie jsou snadno proveditelné, nevyžadují žádné předchozí znalosti ani zkušenosti s hathajógou a jsou velmi účinné. Tato kniha objasňuje fyziologické změny v průběhu menopauzy a jejich dopady na celkovou životní pohodu, zdraví a emoční rovnováhu žen. Informace o příčinách těchto symptomů pomohou ženám pochopit to, čím procházejí a jak tuto situaci zvládnout.
Hormonální jógová terapie pro muže
Tato kniha vám představuje přirozenou techniku hormonální jógové terapie k odstranění stresu a opětovnému aktivování tvorby testosteronu a ostatních hormonů ve vašem těle. Je skvělou pomůckou pro pravidelné cvičení doma a pomůže vám rychle dosáhnout pozitivních výsledků.
V 50 letech mívají muži již mírně sníženou hladinu hormonů, a proto by již od 45 let měli začít preventivně udržovat hladinu svých hormonů na dobré úrovni, aby předešli symptomům nízké hladiny těchto hormonů. Avšak také mladší muži, kteří zažívají ve svém životě velký stres, by měli začít cvičit již dříve, neboť stres snižuje tvorbu hormonů a symptomy nízké hladiny hormonů se mohou objevovat i u mladších mužů.
Tato kniha vám pomůže při vašem každodenním cvičení hormonální jógy, avšak konkrétní výsledky budou záviset na tom, kolikrát týdně ji budete cvičit. Každodenní cvičení vám přinese nejlepší výsledky a velmi rychle zvýší vaši hladinu testosteronu.
A zafírözvegy
1935, Ceylon. Louisa, a gazdag angol drágakőkereskedő lánya látszólag tökéletes házasságban él férjével, Elliottal egy hangulatos tengerparti kisvárosban. A boldogságukhoz már csak egy gyermek hiányzik, de úgy tűnik, ez a kívánságuk nem teljesülhet. Elliot egyre több időt tölt az otthonától távol, egy közeli fahéjültetvényen. Férje váratlan halála után Louisa lassan rádöbben, hogy az élete mindeddig hazugságokra épült. Hogy tovább léphessen, meg kell oldania a rejtélyeket, amelyeket Elliot örökül hagyott. Ellátogat a fahéjültetvényre, ahol idővel különös vonzalom ébred benne a jóképű, ám magának való tulajdonos iránt. Amikor végre napvilágra kerül Elliot hűtlensége, Louisa szíve összetörik, az élet azonban új feladatok elé állítja őt.
Dinah Jefferies újabb regénye lebilincselően izgalmas szerelmi történet, amely érzékletesen festi le Ceylon varázslatos világát: a többszáz éves kisváros szűk sikátorait, a lármás piacot és az egész domboldalt elfoglaló fahéjültetvényt a vadregényes erdőséggel, ahonnan rálátni az óceán szüntelenül változó tükrére.

Az elveszett nővér
Az ismert angol írónő, Dinah Jefferies legújabb, váratlan fordulatokban bővelkedő regénye Burmába (a mai Mianmarba) kalauzolja az olvasót, ahol a gyönyörű, változatos táj és a városok színes forgataga festői hátteret nyújt a második világháború előtt játszódó, szerelmi szállal átszőtt izgalmas történethez.
Az 1930-as években Belle Hatton az angliai otthonától távol izgalmas kalandra indul, miután énekesnőként csodás lehetőséget kap Burmában, egy előkelő éjszakai bárban. Itt rövid időn belül számos új ismerősre, illetve csodálóra tesz szert, és a karrierje is szépen beindul, mégsem hagyja őt nyugodni egy különös rejtély. Az apja halála után ugyanis a holmija között egy huszonöt évvel korábbi újságkivágásra bukkant, amely szerint a Burmában élő Hatton házaspár az Elvira nevezetű kisbabájuk titokzatos eltűnése után örökre elhagyta Rangunt.
Belle mindenáron ki akarja deríteni, mi történt a nővérével, akiről korábban nem is tudott, ám amikor kérdezősködni kezd, nyugtalanító szóbeszédekkel, rosszindulatú pletykákkal és nyílt fenyegetésekkel kénytelen szembenézni. Oliver, a jóképű, magabiztos amerikai újságíró felajánlja a segítségét, és a közös nyomozásuk során Belle-ben vonzalom ébred iránta, de kisvártatva figyelmeztetést kap egy névtelen üzenetben, nehogy bárkire rábízza magát.
A lány a saját bőrén kénytelen megtapasztalni a burmai társadalmat feszítő, súlyos problémákat: a szegénységet, a különböző népcsoportok közti ellentéteket, sőt, az élete is veszélybe kerül a vérontással járó lázadások és egy váratlan bombatámadás során. A számtalan nehézség ellenére Belle-t senki és semmi nem tántorítja el az igazság felkutatásától. De vajon megbízhat az Oliver iránti érzéseiben? Elképzelhető, hogy a nővére már nem is él? És ha még él, Belle rátalál valaha? Megbocsáthat a saját szüleinek? És talán a legfontosabb kérdés: megtalálhatja a boldogságot az otthonától messze, ebben a különös, varázslatos világban?
