Kdysi existovaly čtyři světy, naskládané na sebe jako stránky v knize. Kypěly magickou mocí a spojovalo je jedno město: Londýn. Pak se však magie začala šířit až příliš prudce a světy se v zoufalé snaze se ochránit oddělily a zapečetily dveře. Otevřít je dokázali jen mágové zvaní Antari, ale ti byli stále vzácnější. V posledních letech byli známí pouze tři - Kell Maresh z Červeného Londýna, Delilah Bardová z Šedého a Holland Vosijk z Bílého. Teď po nich však už sedm let nebylo skoro ani vidu, ani slechu - zato v Bílém Londýně se objevila nová Antari jménem Kosika a usedla v Hollandově nepřítomnosti na trůn. Mladičká královna je ochotná prolévat pro své město krev - svých poddaných i svou vlastní - ale její náboženský zápal se stále stupňuje a hrozí, že by mohl město utopit. V Červeném Londýně mezitím král Rhy Maresh čelí počínajícímu povstání rebelů, kteří jsou odhodlaní nastolit rovnováhu moci tak, že ho svrhnou z trůnu. Mezi starými přáteli a novými nepřáteli se však objeví ještě dívka s neobvyklými magickými schopnostmi a zmocní se přístroje, který by mohl změnit osud všech čtyř světů. Jmenuje se Tes a je to právě ona, kdo může světy spojit - anebo je navždy zničit.

Zúfalá mladá žena uzavrie dohodu s temným božstvom, aby mohla žiť večne, nespútane, presne tak, ako vždy túžila, keď snívala o slobode. Zmluva má však háčik – Addie si nik nezapamätá, v tej chvíli, ako ju ľudia stratia z dohľadu, zabudnú na ňu. Svet so svojími nekonečnými možnosťami sa síce Addie otvoril, no prekliatie ju uväznilo v samote. Tak sa začína nezvyčajný príbeh Addie LaRueovej, múzy mnohých umelcov, zabudnutej milenky, ktorá sa vytráca s prvými rannými lúčmi. Až pokým jedného dňa nevstúpi po druhý raz do malého antikvariátu na Manhattane, kde pracuje Henry – a ten si ju pamätá. Po troch storočiach začína Addie znovu žiť, lenže diabol nikdy nehrá fér, a tak sa bude musieť postaviť následkom svojich minulých rozhodnutí a splatiť staré dlhy.

Od toho dne, co se Cassidy málem utopila (no, ona se vlastně utopila, ale nerada na to vzpomíná), dokáže odtáhnout Závoj, který odděluje živé od mrtvých... a vstoupit do světa duchů. Dokonce její nejlepší kamarád Jacob je duch. Už tak je její situace dost na pováženou. A to se ještě zhorší. Když se její rodiče pustí do natáčení televizního pořadu o nejstrašidelnějších místech na světě, zamíří všichni i s Jacobem do skotského Edinburghu, kde se místní hřbitovy, hrady a tajné uličky jen hemží neklidnými duchy. A tehdy Cassidy potká Laru, dívku, která má stejný dar jako ona, a zjistí, že se toho má o Závoji - a sama o sobě - ještě hodně co učit. A bude se muset učit rychle, protože Město duchů je daleko nebezpečnější, než by myslela.

Kdekoli se objeví duchové, tam se vydá i Cassidy… anebo je to naopak? Od toho dne, co se Cassidy málem utopila (no, ona se vlastně utopila, ale nerada na to vzpomíná), dokáže odtáhnout Závoj, který odděluje živé od mrtvých... a vstoupit do světa duchů. Dokonce její nejlepší kamarád Jacob je duch. Když se její rodiče pustí do natáčení televizního pořadu o nejstrašidelnějších místech na světě, zamíří všichni i s Jacobem do skotského Edinburghu, kde se místní hřbitovy, hrady a tajné uličky jen hemží neklidnými duchy. A tehdy Cassidy potká Laru, dívku, která má stejný dar jako ona, a zjistí, že se toho má o Závoji - a sama o sobě - ještě hodně co učit. Později Cass se svými rodiči (a samozřejmě i nejlepším kamarádem, duchem Jacobem) zamíří do Paříže. Bylo by fajn jíst jeden croissant za druhým a užívat si výhled z Eiffelovky, kdyby v podzemních katakombách nečíhalo děsivé nebezpečí. I když už má Cass pocit, že lovení duchů celkem zvládá, překvapil ji New Orleans, který svá strašidelná místa vystavuje přímo na odiv. Ve městě plném staré magie, duchařských atrakcí, tajuplných kobek a nespoutané hudby se Cass propadá do děsivých příběhů doslova na každém kroku. A za tím vším číhá protivník, o kterém nikdy netušila, že mu bude muset čelit: služebník samotné Smrti. Před Cassidy stojí zatím její nejnebezpečnější výzva… a před jejím přátelstvím s Jacobem také.

eBook: V podzemí sveta Erdas sa prebudilo čosi prastaré a skazené. Odveké zlo obostreté temnotou má obrovskú moc a len nepatrným čriepkom svojej sily môže zničiť mnohé. V ohrození sú dokonca aj posvätné putá medzi ľuďmi a zvieratami, ktoré udržujú Erdas v rovnováhe. Úlohou štyroch mladých hrdinov – Conora, Abeke, Mej-lin a Rolana – je zlo zastaviť. Spolu so svojimi spirituálnymi zvieratami sa vydávajú na zúfalú cestu, ktorá ich zavedie hlboko pod povrch zeme a do najvzdialenejších kútov sveta. Napriek tomu, že v boji proti temnote strácajú svojich priateľov a spojencov, musia vytrvať a postaviť sa zlu zoči-voči. Čoskoro si však uvedomia krutú skutočnosť : nepriateľ ich už obkľúčil.

In a powerful exploration of recent racial history, the cofounder of Black Lives Matter examines the moment we're in, how we got here and how together we can build movements to create a just and equal world.Black Lives Matter began as a hashtag when Alicia Garza wrote what she calls 'a love letter to Black people' on Facebook. But hashtags don't build movements, she tells us. People do. Interwoven with Garza's experience of life as a Black woman, The Purpose of Power is the story of how she responded to the persistent message that Black lives are of less value than white lives by galvanising people to create change. It's an insight into grass roots organising to deliver basic needs - affordable housing, workplace protections, access to good education - to those locked out of the economy by racism. It is an attempt not only to make sense of where Black Lives Matter came from but also to understand the possibilities that Black Lives Matter and movements like it hold for our collective futures. Ultimately, it's an appeal to hearts and minds, demanding that we think about our privileges and prejudices and ask how we might contribute to the change we want to see in the world._______________'Alicia Garza combines immense wisdom with political courage to inspire a new generation of activists, dreamers and leaders... People like Alicia have been speaking up for decades. If we want to turn protest into substantive change, it's about time we finally listened.' David Lammy, MP'Insightful, compelling and necessary.' Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy

A classic collection of the New Yorker's most urgent and groundbreaking reporting from the front lines of the climate emergencyIn 1989, just one year after climatologist James Hansen first came before a Senate committee and testified that the earth was now warmer than it had ever been in recorded history, thanks to humankind's heedless consumption of fossil fuels, New Yorker writer Bill McKibben published a deeply reported and considered piece on climate change and what it could mean for the planet.At the time, the piece was to some speculative to the point of alarmist; read now, McKibben's work is heroically prescient. Since then, the New Yorker has devoted enormous attention to climate change, describing the causes of the crisis, the political and ecological conditions we now find ourselves in, and the scenarios and solutions we face.The Fragile Earth tells the story of climate change - its past, present, and future - taking readers from Greenland to the Great Plains, and into both laboratories and rain forests. It features some of the best writing on global warming from the last three decades, including Bill McKibben's seminal essay 'The End of Nature,' the first piece to popularize both the science and politics of climate change for a general audience, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning work of Elizabeth Kolbert, as well as Kathryn Schulz, Dexter Filkins, Jonathan Franzen, Ian Frazier, Eric Klinenberg, and others. The result, in its range, depth, and passion, promises to bring light, and sometimes heat, to the great emergency of our age.

As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers. Some laws require prudence (Law 1: Never Outshine the Master), some stealth (Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions), and some the total absence of mercy (Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally) but like it or not, all have applications in real-life situations.

''I strongly agree with the central message of [the] book...that we need a sense of moral compass in politics... Put together it''s pretty shocking'' Rory Stewart on The Rest is Politics: Leading As Prime Minister and Home Secretary, Theresa May came face-to-face with a series of issues in which the abuse of power led to devastating results for individuals and significantly damaged the trust in public institutions and politicians. From the Grenfell tragedy to parliamentary scandals, the powerful repeatedly chose to act not in the interests of the powerless but in ways that served themselves. The Abuse of Power is a searing exposé of injustice and an impassioned call to exercise power for the greater good. Drawing on examples from domestic and international affairs she was personally involved in at the highest level, the former prime minister argues for a radical rethink in how we approach our politics and public life. ''A serious-minded study of scandals in which vulnerable people were failed by those in authority'' Guardian Best Politics Books of 2023 ''The book will reinforce the view that May was a politician of conviction and compassion'' Robert Shrimsley, Financial Times ''A valuable read'' Charlotte Ivers, Times Best Politics and Current Affairs Books of 2023

The most powerful woman in American political history tells the story of her transformation from housewife to House Speaker how she became a master legislator, a key partner to presidents, and the most visible leader of the Trump resistance.When, at age forty-six, Nancy Pelosi, mother of five, asked her youngest daughter if she should run for Congress, Alexandra Pelosi answered: ';Mother, get a life!' And so Nancy did, and what a life it has been.In The Art of Power, Pelosi describes for the first time what it takes to make history not only as the first woman to ascend to the most powerful legislative role in our nation, but to pass laws that would save lives and livelihoods, from the emergency rescue of the economy in 2008 to transforming health care. She describes the perseverance, persuasion, and respect for her members that it took to succeed, but also the joy of seeing America change for the better.Among the best-prepared and hardest working Speakers in history, Pelosi worked to find common ground, or stand her ground, with presidents from Bush to Biden. She also shares moving moments with soldiers sent to the front lines, women who inspired her, and human rights activists who fought by her side.Pelosi took positions that established her as a prophetic voice on the major moral issues of the day, warning early about the dangers of the Iraq War and of the Chinese government's long record of misbehaviour. This moral courage prepared her for the arrival of Trump, with whom she famously tangled, becoming a red-coated symbol of resistance to his destructive presidency.Here, she reveals how she went toe-to-toe with Trump, leading up to January 6, 2021, when he unleashed his post-election fury on the Congress. Pelosi gives us her personal account of that day: the assault not only on the symbol of our democracy but on the men and women who had come to serve the nation, never expecting to hide under desks or flee for their lives and her determined efforts to get the National Guard to the Capitol. Nearly two years later, violence and fury would erupt inside Pelosi's own home when an intruder, demanding to see the Speaker, viciously attacked her beloved husband, Paul.Here, Pelosi shares that horrifying day and the traumatic aftermath for her and her family.The woman who has been lauded by her opposition as ';the most powerful Speaker' ever shows us why she is not afraid of a good fight. The Art of Power is about the fighting spirit that has always animated her, and the historic legacy that spirit has produced.

From the pilot’s seat in the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, to the site in Finland where highly radioactive waste will be buried, this is the incredible story of nuclear power.Providing a vivid account of the characters and events that have shaped this controversial energy source and our thinking around it, The Power of Nuclear weaves politics, culture and technology to explore the past and future of nuclear power. Investigating the dawn of the atomic age in the 1940s, it goes on to show how the world came to fear nuclear plants after Chernobyl.In his quest to disentangle myth from facts, Marco Visscher asks: How dangerous is radiation? What should you do after a nuclear accident? And have nuclear weapons really made the world less safe? And why do some still reject the evidence that the atom can provide unlimited clean energy and free countries of their dependence on fossil fuels , combatting climate change and offering energy security?This is an informed look at what we might do with nuclear - and what nuclear is doing to us.
