Je zimný večer, vonku vyčíňa snehová metelica a do domu, kde žije Kristínka so svojím bračekom a rodičmi, prichádza záhadný tulák a rozprávkar Matias. Má zo sebou klietku s nepokojným výrom a batoh plný kníh. Jedna z nich, porastená machom a kvietkami, otvorí Kristínke bránu do fantastických svetov. Ocitne sa v krajine, v ktorej cestuje na chrobákovi veľkom ako hroch, uvidí tam na nebi plávať obrovskú veľrybu a mesiac, čo vie rozprávať. Ocitne sa aj v meste pod morom, kde kameň Modravit ľuďom zhmotňuje priania a umelci vedia tvoriť myšlienkami, na ľadovej planéte, čo bola kedysi slnkom, alebo na povale, kde objaví škriatka, o ktorom nik netuší. Vo svete fantázie Kristínka preukáže nielen odvahu, no tiež vieru v dobro a lásku. Spriatelí sa s obrom Prašanom, s mladíkom Košom, ktorý ľúbi Lunu, s morskou princeznou Meou, so...

''The true and fascinating story of Easter Island and its amazing statues'' KEN FOLLETTWhere did they come from? How did they get there? Why did they carve the island’s colossal iconic statues – and how? What happened to the civilisation they created?These are just a few of the questions about Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, that have puzzled generations.Europeans first encountered the Islanders in the early eighteenth century, bringing back astonishing tales from one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. They told fantastic stories of lost continents, cannibalism, giants and aliens. Thor Heyerdahl claimed that the island was discovered by pale-skinned sailors from South America, ignoring the rightful claims of the greatest explorers the world has ever known. Recently, the idea that Islanders cut down all the trees, causing mass starvation and social collapse, has been espoused by scientists, broadcasters and politicians. Now, in archaeologist Mike Pitts’s superb investigation, Island at the Edge of the World, he provides authoritative new insights into what really happened.Using the latest scientific and archaeological research, plus a huge range of historical accounts, Pitts builds a fascinating new portrait of the Islanders’ story. In particular, Pitts revives the life work of Katherine Routledge, who spent sixteen months on the island in 1914-15, surviving revolution and war, assembling a priceless but largely ignored archive of excavations and interviews - and whose legacy reveals the rapacious interference that spawned generations of false histories. Many questions still remain, but this is the most compelling and comprehensive account yet published of the extraordinary story of Easter Island.

Until one morning his routine is interrupted because a body has been found in the harbor with clear signs of foul play. Patric Provost was from one of the long-established families on the island of Belle-Île, Breton’s biggest and most famous island.

As Bretons say, the sheep season themselves while they’re eating, grazing on salty, iodine-rich meadows, full of wild herbs, directly by the ocean. In Dupin’s culinary ranking, this lamb comes right behind entrecôte. And that’s saying something.Dupin has barely stepped foot on the utopia-like island before it comes to light that Provost was not well liked. And someone was blackmailing him for one million euros, the deadline for payment the night before Provost’s body was caught on the buoy. Everyone on the island has a motive.

Elektronická kniha - autor Jan Burian, 302 stran „Island je pro nás v mnohém záhadná země, s českým mozkem musíme pracovat hodně rozvážně, abychom z ní alespoň něco pochopili,“ tvrdí Jan Burian v jednom z fejetonů, jež napsal mnoho let poté, co se na ostrov vypravil poprvé. Kniha Dvacet let s Islandem vznikala v rozmezí let 1994 a 2014, což svědčí o autorově důkladnosti i vpravdě rozvážném postupu a přístupu. Na začátku devadesátých let přečetl, zhlédl a vyslechl o Islandu všechno, co se dalo, a takto vyzbrojen vyrazil objevovat to, co už vlastně skoro dopodrobna teoreticky znal. Naštěstí tomuto pocitu nepodlehl - a o tom i mnohém jiném je první Sága o cestě na Island (1994). Island ho lapil a nepustil, vrací se tam totiž skoro každý rok - mimo jiné jako průvodce turistů. A protože skoro každý rok se ostrov stane námětem některého z Burianových fejetonů, výběr z nich tvoří druhou část této knihy. Je to trochu jiný Island, viděný a popisovaný z jiné perspektivy,...

Field naturalists have searched across Clare Island for animal groups ranging from the microscopic to birds and mammals. Many more species have been found since the original survey a hundred years ago, due to the availability of modern methods, which greatly add to our knowledge of the biodiversity of Clare Island. The lists of species featured here include some new to the island, some new to Ireland and some new to science. This volume signals the need for further field work and taxonomic research to track biodiversity changes arising from human activity. Land and freshwater fauna is the tenth volume in the New Survey of Clare Island series, which seeks to build on the pioneering work of the first Clare Island Survey (1909–11), the most ambitious natural history project ever undertaken in Ireland and the first major biological survey of a specific area carried out in the world.
