Losing Earth
'The excellent and appalling Losing Earth by Nathaniel Rich describes how close we came in the 70s to dealing with the causes of global warming and how US big business and Reaganite politicians in the 80s ensured it didn't happen. Read it.' John Simpson
By 1979, we knew all that we know now about the science of climate change - what was happening, why it was happening, and how to stop it. Over the next ten years, we had the very real opportunity to stop it. Obviously, we failed.
Nathaniel Rich's groundbreaking account of that failure - and how tantalizingly close we came to signing binding treaties that would have saved us all before the fossil fuels industry and politicians committed to anti-scientific denialism - is already a journalistic blockbuster, a full issue of the New York Times Magazine that has earned favorable comparisons to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and John Hersey's Hiroshima. Rich has become an instant, in-demand expert and speaker. A major movie deal is already in place. It is the story, perhaps, that can shift the conversation.
In the book Losing Earth, Rich is able to provide more of the context for what did - and didn't - happen in the 1980s and, more important, is able to carry the story fully into the present day and wrestle with what those past failures mean for us at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It is not just an agonizing revelation of historical missed opportunities, but a clear-eyed and eloquent assessment of how we got to now, and what we can and must do before it's truly too late.

Losing Hope - Reményvesztett
A Hopeless valósággal megbabonázta az olvasókat. A történet egy hányatott sorsú lányról, Skyról szól, aki összetalálkozik rég elvesztett gyermekkori barátjával, Dean Holderrel. A fiú segít a sokkoló családi múlt feltárásában, így Sky végre elcsitíthatja magában a mély sebet hagyó emlékeket és érzéseket.
A Hopeless Sky szemszögéből mutatta be az eseményeket, a Losing Hope pedig bepillantást enged Dean Holder történetébe, akit régóta kísért a kislány elvesztése. Úgy érzi, kudarcot vallott, amiért nem tudta őt megmenteni. Holder életét beárnyékolja a megbánás és a bűntudat. Sohasem hagyott fel Sky keresésével, mert úgy érzi: ha megtalálná, tovább tudna lépni végre. Arra viszont nem számított, hogy a találkozás pillanata még kínzóbb fájdalmat hoz.
Holder a Losing Hope-ban meséli el, hogy a tizenhárom évvel korábbi események miként hatottak az ő és családja életére, s hogyan lett magányos küldetés számára a lány megmentése. A végleges gyógyulást azonban csak a Sky iránt érzett szerelem hozhatja el...

Kniha Princ a krása zeme prináša rozprávky z vyše tridsiatky krajín, v ktorých pôsobili slovenskí vojaci od roku 1993 v misiách a operáciách na podporu mieru, pričom rozprávky sú publikované v slovenčine aj v angličtine a ilustroval ich renomovaný výtvarník Martin Kellenberger.
Knihu vydala Vojenská podporná nadácia Bratislava a zostavil ju správca nadácie Milan Gajdoš. Prerozprávali ich vojaci, ktorí v zahraničnom nasadení pôsobili, no aj diplomati, novinári, charitatívni pracovníci či cestovatelia. Súčasťou 378 stranovej knihy je príloha s údajmi o slovenskom zastúpení v jednotlivých operáciách medzinárodného krízového manažmentu, ktorú zostavil publicista Pavol Vitko.
Na ilustráciu: rozprávka Začarované bociany je z Iraku, Dedova rada z Lotyšska, o tom že Dom bez ženy je ako pec bez cesta sa hovorí v rozprávke z Afganistanu, cyperská rozprávka má názov Hodža Aslant – drevorubač, Muž, ktorý robí dobro je zo Sýrie, Hadí kráľ a statočný roľník Vasva z Ugandy, Princ a jeho osud je z Egypta, Teklova koza z Eritrei, Malin Kundag a jeho mamka z Východného Timoru, Kráľov roh je zo Severného Macedónska, Starenka bylinkárka a zlodej z Kuvajtu, Dievča – žabka z Chorvátska a trebárs Princ a krása zeme je z Kosova. Dodajme, že slovenská rozprávka je autorská, napísal ju Ľubomír Feldek a volá sa Keď Pán Boh a Svätý Peter chodili po Slovensku. Ľubomír Feldek pre deti jednu z rozprávok aj prebásnil. Jej názov je Prečo sa opica podobá človeku a pochádza z Mali.
Losing Hope

Haunted by the little girl he couldn't save from imminent danger, Holder's life has been overshadowed by feelings of guilt and remorse. He has never stopped searching for her, believing that finding her would bring him the peace he needs to move on. However, Holder could not have anticipated that he would be faced with even greater pain the moment they reconnected.
In Losing Hope, Holder reveals the way in which the events of Sky's youth affected him and his family, leading him to seek his own redemption in the act of saving her. But it is only in loving Sky that he can finally begin to heal himself.

Lacná kniha Planet Earth II (-50%)
10 years on from the first, groundbreaking, Planet Earth, we use the most incredible advances in technology and scientific discovery to bring you the most exciting and immersive picture of our world's wildlife yet. With over 250 breathtaking photographs and stills from the BBC Natural History Unit's spectacular footage, this is an extraordinary new look at the complex life of some of the most amazing places on Planet Earth. Each chapter reveals an environment - some never-before-seen, some astonishingly familiar - defined by a unique set of rules required for survival. From the most desolate desert to the depths of the jungle, from blistering heat and freezing cold to perpetual darkness and deadly UV, discover how a whole host of creatures have adapted to life in the most extreme conditions. And how they compete with one another to become the largest, the fastest, the most poisonous, or most devious - all in a bid to survive. Planet Earth II includes the first in-depth look at the urban environment, and the surprising range of behaviours occurring right under our noses, as well as some previously untouched island worlds. Filmed with remarkable 5k and infra-red technology, these are the challenges, the confrontations, and the triumphs of some of the most extraordinary creatures in the natural world, told from their perspective. This is our planet, as you have never seen it before.

Lacná kniha Earth cubebook (-70%)
This Cubebook is dedicated to the beautiful forms and patterns the earth presents to the eye from above: here are views of landforms on every continent in photographs that arouse awe for our planet.

Photographs have been selected for their visual impact, and enhanced by a design that immerses readers in the natural beauty of our planet from a new perspective, in views that make them even more wondrous and spectacular. This around-the-world view includes commentary from Alberto Bertolazzi that shines with passion and humor.

Ústava Země A constitution for the earth Verfassung für die Erde Ústava Zeme
Niečo sa pokazilo. Optimizmus zo začiatku tisícročia dnes vystriedali obavy a neistota. Najprv euro?americká finančná, potom globálna ekonomická a s ňou spojená sociálna kríza, i zdanlivo nesúvisiaca klimatická zmena. Rastie hrozba vojenských konfliktov, terorizmu, sťahovania či migrácie ľudí a národov. Skryte narastá zásadný existenciálny konflikt ľudskej kultúry so Zemou. Chýba nám skúsenosť, hodnoty i program pre život v materiálne a duchovne rozmanitom svete.
Pribúdajú však aj výzvy ekologicky cítiacich ľudí, vedcov a inštitúcií na zmenu súčasnej civilizácie a vytvorenie nového vzťahu ľudí k prírode. Väčšinou ešte nejde o ucelené návody na riešenie, ale len o obavy a úzko orientované úvahy, morálne apelovanie a súpisy zbožných prianí. Dokonca aj pápež, riskujúc exkomunikáciu konzervatívnym krídlom cirkvi, vyzval v encyklike Laudato Sí všetkých ľudí k starostlivosti o spoločný planetárny domov. A to nielen na základe viery, ale aj v súlade s poznatkami dnešnej vedy.
Originálna koncepcia českého filozofa Josefa Šmajsa ponúka univerzálne prijateľné riešenia vychádzajúce z ontologickej podstaty našich súčasných problémov. Zdôvodňuje odmietnutie antropocentrizmu a žiada uznanie nadradenosti a práv Zeme nad právami, slobodami a výsadami ľudí. Ľudská kultúra nie je pokračovaním evolúcie prírody, ale opozičným umelým systémom, ktorý dnes Zem budúcim generáciam pustoší.
Ústava Zeme môže byť tou správnou odpoveďou – posúďte sami a staňte sa spolutvorcami novej duchovnej paradigmy.

And when an infamous Fallen angel, Hunt Athalar, is assigned to watch her every footstep, Bryce knows she can't forget any longer. As Bryce and Hunt fight to unravel the mystery and their own dark pasts, the threads they tug ripple through the underbelly of the city, across warring continents and down to the deepest levels of Hel, where things that have been sleeping for millennia are beginning to stir ... Perfect for fans of Jessica Jones and True Blood, this is a blockbuster modern fantasy set in a divided world where one woman must uncover the truth to seek her revenge.
With unforgettable characters and page-turning suspense, this richly inventive new fantasy series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas delves into the heartache of loss, the price of freedom - and the power of love.
