Greens of Daisy - A természet kincsestára
Sokan csupán vadvirágnak vagy zavaró gyomnak látnak egy sárgán virító pitypangot, egy kerítés mellett bokrosodó csalánt. Mások csak a tavasz igazi hírnökeként gyönyörködnek egy illatos orgonában, és nem is gondolnák, hogy a rózsa szirmaiból akár lekvár is készíthető.
Nem így könyvünk szerzője, Bukovicsné Békefi Daisy, aki már gyerekkorában elmélyült a gyógyító és ehető vadnövények varázslatos világában. Legyen az a cukkini virága, vadsóska, árvácska vagy a sokrétű csalánlevél, számtalan gaznak tűnő egyszerű kerti növény rejt magában igazi kincseket, nem utolsósorban ínycsiklandó ízeket. A könyvben nem csak útmutatást és leírást találunk a legfontosabb gyógynövények felhasználását illetően, de több mint 33 ételrecepttel új színt vihetünk mindennapi ételeinkbe!
A szerző a Greens of Daisy márka névadója és alapítója, kertészmérnök, három gyermekes édesanya, Go Green nagykövet, követőinek száma több százezres nagyságrendű.
Daisy Jones and The Six
THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA Daily Mirror best fiction pick of 2019A Daily Express best book of 2019'I LOVE it . . .
I can't remember the last time I read a book that was so fun' DOLLY ALDERTON
They were the new icons of rock and roll, fated to burn bright and not fade away. But on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down. There was Daisy, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to superstardom.
There was Camila, the frontman's wife, too strong-willed to let the band implode - and all too aware of the electric connection between her husband and Daisy. There was Karen, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman in a world that wasn't ready for her. And there were the men surrounding them: the feuding, egotistical Dunne brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a hedonistic world tour.
They were creative minds striking sparks from each other, ready to go up in flames. It's never just about the music...

Daisy Jones and The Six
From the author of CARRIE SOTO IS BACK, THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO and the bestselling MALIBU RISING
Everybody knows Daisy Jones and the Six.
From the moment Daisy walked barefoot on to the stage at the Whisky, she and the band were a sensation.
Their sound defined an era. Their albums were on every turntable. They played sold-out arenas from coast to coast.
Then, on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.
They were lovers, friends, brothers. But they were also rivals.
This is the story of their legendary rise and irrevocable fall. A story of ambition, desire, heartbreak and music.
Everyone was there. Everyone remembers it differently. Nobody knew why they split. Until now...
OWC Daisy Miller and Other Stories
The tale of Daisy's irruption into staid European society enjoyed, as did Daisy herself, a succ?'s de scandale; and it has remained one of Jamess most popular short stories. Like the others collected here-'Pandora, ' 'The Patagonia, ' and 'Four Meetings'- it describes a confrontation between different values in a changing world. Is the new independent American girl enchanting in her spontaneity, alarming in her unpredictability, or merely vulnerable in her ignorance of social codes? Hung about with make admirers who seek, uncertainly, to grasp the new phenomenon, Daisy marches on undiscourageable, to her triumphant-or tragic-destiny. This volume contains prefaces by Henry James, a chronology of his life, and editor's notes.

Daisy Jones a The Six
Fascinujúci román o sláve, láske, hudbe a o tom, čo sa stane, keď sa šťastie pominie a zhasnú reflektory. Daisy Jones & The Six je príbeh raketového vzostupu rockovej kapely, ktorej hudba charakterizovala jednu éru a ktorej náhly rozpad vyvolal množstvo nezodpovedaných otázok. Pripravte sa na bláznivý, nezabudnuteľný výlet do Los Angeles 70. rokov, sex, drogy a rock and roll!
Len čo sa úspešná rocková kapela The Six spojila so začínajúcou speváčkou Daisy Jonesovou, vypuklo hotové šialenstvo. Ich piesne ovládli hitparády, ich albumy zneli z každého gramofónu, ich koncerty po celej krajine boli beznádejne vypredané. A potom, 12. júla 1979, sa z ničoho nič rozpadli.
Nikto netušil prečo. Až doteraz.
Ich vzťahy boli divoké rovnako ako ich hudba – boli priateľmi, milencami, bratmi aj rivalmi. Sami neverili tomu, aké mali šťastie, kým oň neprišli. Táto kniha zachytáva príbeh ich začiatkov i búrlivých nocí, ale každý z nich si pravdu pamätá trochu inak. Jediné, čo všetci vedia s istotou, je fakt, že od chvíle, keď Daisy Jones bosá vystúpila na pódium v klube Whisky, kapela sa navždy zmenila. Pri tvorbe hudby totiž nikdy nejde iba o hudbu. A niekedy môže byť veľmi ťažké určiť, kde sa končí melódia a začínajú sa city.

Paycheck and Other Classic Stories by Philip K. Dick
With a Preface by the Author and an Introduction by Roger Zelazny "The collected stories of Philip K. Dick are awe inspiring." --"The Washington Post" Readers worldwide consider Philip K. Dick to have been the greatest science fiction writer on any planet. Since his untimely death in 1982, interest in Dick's works has continued to mount, and his reputation has been enhanced by a growing body of critical attention. The Philip K. Dick Award is now presented annually to a distinguished work of science fiction, and the Philip K. Dick Society is devoted to the study and promulgation of his works. This collection draws from the writer's earliest short and medium-length fiction (including several previously unpublished stories), written during the years 1952-1955, and features such fascinating stories as "Paycheck " (adapted as a major motion picture starring Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman), "Beyond Lies the Wub, The Short Happy Life of the Brown Oxford, The Variable Man," and many others. Here, readers will find Dick's initial explorations of the themes he so brilliantly brought to life in his later work. Dick won the prestigious Hugo Award for the best novel of 1963 for "The Man in the High Castle." In the last year of his life, the film Blade Runner was made from his novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" More recently, Dick's short story "The Minority Report " inspired Steven Spielberg's movie of the same title. The classic stories of Philip K. Dick offer an intriguing glimpse into the imagination of one of science fiction's most enduring and respected names. "Philip K. Dick's best books always describe a future that is both entirely recognizable and utterly unimaginable." --"The New York Times Book Review" "More than anyone else in the field, Mr. Dick really puts you inside people's minds." --"The Wall Street Journal"

Behind the Lines Bugulma and Other Stories
V roce 1921, několik měsíců předtím, než Jaroslav Hašek začal psát Osudy dobrého vojáka Švejka, popisuje v cyklu Velitelem města Bugulmy své životní zkušenosti s revolučním Ruskem. Obdobným způsobem, jakým se ve svých povídkách vysmíval předválečné C. a K. monarchii, zachycuje bývalý rudý komisař Hašek bolševickou revoluci. Před čtenářem se tak odehrává úsměvný příběh, v němž, v zapomenutém tatarském městečku Bugulma, vystupuje sovětský velitel tverského revolučního pluku, opilec Jerochymov a velitel města tovaryš Gašek. Skrze humor a nadsázku Hašek ukazuje jednak fanatismus revoluční doby, kdy v nešťastném roce 1918 se náhle vše "vymklo z kloubů", a jednak hloupost či prostou lidskou nejistotu nových vládců. Autobiografcký cyklus Velitelem města Bugulmy je dále doplněn o další Haškovy povídky z té doby.

Steve Miller Band - J50: The Evolution of The Joker (Deluxe Edition) 2CD
Steve Miller Band je americká rocková skupina založená v roku 1966 v San Franciscu v Kalifornii. Skupinu vedie Steve Miller na gitare a speve. Skupina mala sériu hitových singlov z polovice až konca 70. rokov, ktoré sú základom klasického rocku, ako aj niekoľko skorších psychedelických rockových albumov. Miller opustil svoju prvú kapelu a presťahoval sa do San Francisca a založil Steve Miller Blues Band. Krátko po tom, čo Harvey Kornspan v roku 1967 vyjednal zmluvu s Capitol Records, skupina skrátila svoj názov na Steve Miller Band. Vo februári 1968 kapela nahrala svoj debutový album Children of the Future. Pokračovala produkcia albumov Sailor, Brave New World, Your Saving Grace, Number 5, Rock Love, Fly Like an Eagle, Book of Dreams a iných. Najväčšie hity kapely 1974–78, ktoré vyšli v roku 1978, sa predalo viac ako 13 miliónov kópií. V roku 2016 bol Steve Miller uvedený ako sólový umelec do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
„The Joker“ je ôsmy štúdiový album nahraný a vydaný Capitol Records v októbri 1973. Album znamenal pre skupinu obdobie významnej zmeny, keď sa skupina vzdala svojej psychedelicky orientovanej hudby pre melodickejší, hladší rock/blues zvuk. Bol to tiež ich prvý solídny komerčný úspech vďaka silnej rozhlasovej hre titulnej skladby. Album sa dostal na 2. miesto v rebríčku Billboard Top LPs & Tape a v USA získal platinovú platňu. 8. januára 1974 sa dostal na prvé miesto v rebríčku Cash Box Albums Charts. Deluxe verzia vydaná k päťdesiatim rokom výročia albumu.
