Lacná kniha Sum Of Our Days (-70%)
A brilliant memoir from the celebrated Chilean novelist on friends, family and life in California, her adopted home. Isabel Allende has sold more than 50 million copies of her books worldwide. The most beloved and successful of her books, 'The House of the Spirits', was based on her Chilean childhood, and her autobiographical works include the deeply moving 'Paula' -- a family history written at the bedside of her daughter while she lay in a coma -- and the fascinating 'My Invented Country', which explored the events of her native Chile where she lived until Pinochet's military coup. Now, in 'The Sum of the Days', we have Isabel describe in an exceptionally vivid, human and deeply personal way her life in California where she has lived for more than 25 years. The first page picks up from where Paula ends -- her daughter never did wake up from her coma and died in 1992 -- when Allende recounts spreading Paula's ashes in her favourite part of the woods by their home. It is fair to say that Isabel has never recovered from losing her daughter but has managed to survive by keeping her husband, son, grandchildren as well as close friends -- kindred spirits -- central to her life.' The Sum of the Days', based on Allende's own journals and daily correspondence with her mother in Chile, reveals the author to be a dazzling, generous, warm and hysterically funny matriarch within her swirl of family and friends.

A Life on Our Planet
With a new afterword, Why You Are Here: A speech on the opening of the COP26 climate summit
As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity.
I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet contains my witness statement, and my vision for the future - the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake, and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right.
We have the opportunity to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.
All we need is the will do so.
Fats Jazz Band - Rhythm Is Our Business
CD Rhythm Is Our Business obsahuje rekonštrukcie pôvodných jazzových nahrávok z prvej polovice 20. storočia v jedinečnej autentickej interpretácii. FATS JAZZ BAND je prvotriedny deväťčlenný orchester nasiaknutý autentickým hot jazzom a swingom. Hudobníci hrajú na pôvodných nástrojoch z 30. rokov a aranžmány prepisujú transkripciou z originálnych šelakových platní tých najväčších jazzových legiend. Do interpretácie potom vložia svoj originálny „rukopis“, čoho výsledkom je kokteil plný energie a nadčasovosti. Užite si tento výlet strojom času takmer 100 rokov do minulosti.
Album otvára kontrapunktická skladba Bach Goes To Town inšpirovaná nahrávkou slávneho koncertu Bennyho Goodmana z roku 1938 v Carnegie Hall. Ôsmy album orchestra obsahuje vynikajúce aranžmány sexteta kontrabasistu Johna Kirbyho, či už inšpirované klasickou hudbou (Charlie’s prelude a Minute Waltz) alebo čisto jazzovú skladbu postavenú na harmonických moduláciách From Ab to C. Na CD rezonujú aj mená dvoch významných tenorsaxofonistov – Lestera Younga v nadčasovej skladbe Boogie Woogie, ktorá napriek roku svojho vzniku 1938 predznamenala zrod nového hudobného štýlu, a rekonštrukciu skvelého sóla tenorsaxofonistu Colemana Hawkinsa v skladbe The Day You Came Along. Fanúšikovia Fatsa Waller si užijú aj piesne ako The Joint is Jumpin‘, Spring Cleaning, My Mommie Sent Me To The Store a Clarinet Marmalade, z ktorých sála Wallerova charakteristická energia, vtip a nákazlivá dobrá nálada. Úplne iný zvuk má skladba Sorry z roku 1929, kde počuť typickú estetiku hot jazzu 20. rokov (kornet, bendžo, bassaxofón, husle...). Fats Jazz Band použil na CD aj ďalšie nezvyčajné nástroje ako Hammond organ (Clarinet Marmalade) a Swanee saxofón (He’s Funny That Way). Kapelník Ladislav Fančovič vybral dve sólové klavírne skladby zo začiatku 30. rokov - Bugatti Step od Jaroslava Ježka a Black Beauty od Duka Ellingtona. Jeho little big band si zaplával aj do britských vôd nádherným prevedením skladieb ako Who, Pastel Blue a titulnej piesne Rhythm Is Our Business, ktorú pôvodne nahrali Six Swingers. Na albume sú aj dve krásne slovenské piesne, ktoré v 50. rokoch nahrala Viera Racková, Do zajtra čakaj a Maličká slzička. CD uzatvára pieseň Java Jive s vokálnym kvartetom v úvode zloženým z členov orchestra. Bonusovú skladbu Mack the Knife zaranžoval Fančovič v štýle virtuóznych klavírnych show Liberaceho zo 60. rokov. Ústredná melódia z Opery o troch grošoch Kurta Weilla vás prevedie rôznymi štýlmi, vrátane viedenského valčíka, latino či boogie-woogie.

An Atlas of Endangered Species
The diversity of life on earth is astounding, with each species perfectly adapted to its environment. Sharks can navigate the ocean using electromagnetic fields; sloths use algae as camouflage; albatross can fly for hours without beating their wings; and orca pods each have unique cultures and languages.

The Future of Geography: How Power and Politics in Space Will Change Our World
Space: the biggest geopolitical story of the coming century – new from the multi-million-copy international bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography
Spy satellites orbiting the Moon. Space metals worth billions. Humans on Mars within our lifetimes.
This isn’t science fiction. It’s astropolitics.
We’re entering a new space race – and it could revolutionise life on Earth.
Space: the new frontier, a wild and lawless place. It is already central to communication, economics, military strategy and international relations on Earth. Now, it is the latest arena for human exploration, exploitation – and, possibly, conquest. We’re heading up and out, and we’re taking our power struggles with us. China, the USA and Russia are leading the way.
From physical territory and resources to satellites, weaponry and strategic choke points, geopolitics is as important in the skies above us as it is down below. If you’ve ever wondered if humans are going back to the Moon, who will benefit from exploration or what space wars might look like, the answers are here.
With all the insight and wit that have made Tim Marshall the UK’s most popular writer on geopolitics, this gripping book shows how we got here and where we’re going, covering great-power rivalry; technology; commerce; combat in space; and what it means for all of us down here on Earth. This is essential reading on power, politics and the future of humanity.

Popularita Freddieho Mercury, Briana Maye, Rogera Taylora a Johna Deacona je silnější než kdykoli dřív.Ale ne vždy bylo na růžích ustláno. Queen dostali spoustu kopanců, ale ustáli to.

Our Violent Ends
The year is 1927, and Shanghai teeters on the edge of revolution.
The heartstopping follow up to These Violent Delights, an imaginative, alluring retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in 1920s Shanghai.
After sacrificing her relationship with Roma to protect him from the blood feud, Juliette has been a girl on the warpath. One wrong move, and her cousin will step into usurp her place as the Scarlet Gang's heir. The only way to save the boy she loves from the wrath of the Scarlets is to have him want her dead for murdering his best friend in cold blood. If Juliette were actually guilty of the crime Roma believes she committed, his rejection might sting less.
Roma is still reeling from Marshall's death, and his cousin Benedikt will barely speak to him. Roma knows it's his fault for letting the ruthless Juliette back into his life, and he's determined to set things right - even if that means killing the girl he hates and loves with equal measure.
Then a new monstrous danger emerges in the city, and though secrets keep them apart, Juliette must secure Roma's cooperation if they are to end this threat once and for all. Shanghai is already at a boiling point: The Nationalists are marching in, whispers of civil war brew louder every day, and gangster rule faces complete annihilation. Roma and Juliette must put aside their differences to combat monsters and politics, but they aren't prepared for the biggest threat of all: protecting their hearts from each other.
Homes For Our Time
Across small cottages and lavish villas, beach houses and forest refuges, discover the world's finest crop of new homes. This cutting-edge global digest features such talents as Shigeru Ban and Marcio Kogan alongside up-and-coming names like Aires Mateus, Xu Fu-Min, Vo Trong Nghia, Desai Chia, and Shunri Nishizawa. Here, there are homes in Australia and New Zealand, from China and Vietnam, in the United States and Mexico, and on to less expected places like Ecuador and Costa Rica. The result is a sweeping survey of the contemporary house and a revelation that homes across the globe may have more in common than expected.
Among guava trees and abandoned forts in Western India is a sanctuary designed for and by Kamal Malik of Malik Architecture. The House of Three Streams is a sprawling spectacle with high ceilings, verandas, and pavilions, perched atop a ridge overlooking two ravines. A medley of steel, glass, wood, and stone, the house weaves along the contour of the landscape, almost as an extension of the forest. Encina House by Aranguren & Gallegos, an elegant, sloping structure reminiscent of a gazebo, similarly inhabits its surrounding vista. Ensconced in a pine forest north of Madrid, the lower level is embedded in rock and connected to the upper by a natural stone wall. Shinichi Ogawa's Seaside House is an immaculate two-story minimalist marvel in Kanagawa that overlooks the Pacific. Its living area spills onto a cantilevered terrace and infinity pool, almost dissolving into the ocean as one seamless entity. In Vietnam, Shunri Nishizawa's House in Chau Doc exudes tropical sophistication with exposed timber beams, woven bamboo, plants, concrete panels, and inner balconies and terraces. Its corrugated iron panels act as moveable walls and shutters, ushering in views of surrounding rice fields.These homes-along with more than 50 others-are each remarkably distinct in design. They all, however, toe the line between inside and outside, each one symbiotic with its surroundings.

Rudimental - Toast To Our Differences CD
KDO: Rudimental debutovali v roce 2013 deskou Home. Nahrávka, z níž vzešly hity Waiting All Night, Feel The Love nebo Not Giving In, byla s jedním milionem prodaných kopií jedním z nejvydařenějších anglických startů roku. Krotitelům lámaných beatů z Londýna navíc přinesla cenu Brit Awards i nominaci na prestižní Mercury Prize. Prostřednictvím zmíněných hitů skupina rovněž zviditelnila i hostující vokalisty v čele se zpěvačkou Ellou Eyre a zpěvákem Johnem Newmanem. Na koncepčně podobném druhém albu We The Generation se mezi hosty objevují i velká jména, například Ed Sheeran nebo zpěvačka Anne-Marie.
CO: Na třetím albu Rudimental opět nabízejí střet kultur a žánrů. Zvukově pestrá nahrávka osciluje mezi tanečním popem, drum'n'bassem nebo soulem a je k dispozici na CD a 2LP. Pořídit lze i Deluxe CD variantu, jež je podobně jako 2LP oproti standardní verzi bohatší o tři skladby.
