Před třiceti lety byla armáda Inelukiho, Krále bouří, rozprášena a on sám zahuben. Ve Východním Ardu zavládl mír pod vládou Simona Bělokadeřného, pomocníka z kuchyně, z něhož se stal král, a Miriamele, jediného potomka krále Eliáše. Nyní však na jejich vládu doléhá stáří. Simon přišel o své sny, staří spojenci umírají a všude se to hemží zradou a úklady. Jejich syn a dědic Jan Jošua je už léta mrtvý a jejich vnuk Morgan žije jako rozmařilec. Všechny ale čeká cesta vykoupení a objevů, která vede stále chmurnějším světem. A na zamrzlém severu v horské pevnosti Nakkize se z hlubokého, dlouhého spánku probouzí nornská královna a Inelukiho spojenkyně, aby sdělila svým poddaným, že lidé musejí být zničeni. Že její čarodějové přivedou z říše smrti mocného démona a její válečníci budou ve světě hledat krev živého draka... A konečně jí bude patřit nejmocnější artefakt ze všech – koruna z čarodřeva. Koruna z čarodřeva je román plný lidí, obrů, draků, trollů, Sithů i Nornů. Je velkolepá a rozmáchlá a Tad Williams v ní opět dokazuje, kdo je největším žijícím autorem epické fantasy.

A král Simon, zdrcený žalem a beznadějí, netuší, že za mnoha tragédiemi z poslední doby stojí zrádce, který se skrývá mezi jeho nejbližšími na hayholtském dvoře. Na jihu využívají této slabosti stepní kočovníci, po dlouhé době sjednocení pod silným vůdcem, ale ta pravá hrozba přichází ze severu.

The little-known history of how the Sahara was transformed from a green and fertile land into the largest hot desert in the worldThe Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, equal in size to China or the United States. Yet, this arid expanse was once a verdant, pleasant land, fed by rivers and lakes. The Sahara sustained abundant plant and animal life, such as Nile perch, turtles, crocodiles, and hippos, and attracted prehistoric hunters and herders. What transformed this land of lakes into a sea of sands?

Most chess openings have been around for centuries; the first book on the Ruy Lopez was written in 1561. Not so the Jobava System. This is a thoroughly modern opening that has only achieved prominence in the last decade or so. It is named after the Georgian chess visionary Baadur Jobava, a highly imaginative and creative grandmaster. The Jobava System is based around the opening moves 1 d4 d5 2 Nc3 Nf6 3 Bf4. For many years this was considered to be a quiet and unassuming backwater of chess theory. No longer!Thanks to the efforts of Jobava and others this system has been honed into a fierce attacking weapon. As this opening is so new the correct defensive methods are not well understood. This makes the system extremely dynamic and dangerous.In this book, Simon Williams (the Ginger GM) delves deep into the Jobava and offers up a complete repertoire based on this exciting new system.

Through the Russian Revolution by Albert Rhys-Williams, a Congregationalist pastor turned labor organiser and journalist, offers readers a first-hand account of the exciting and confusing events of the Russian revolution from June 1917 to August 1918. Williams, a lifelong defender of the Soviet system, documented his first adventure in Russia at its most chaotic moments. There he formed a lasting impression of what he thought the Soviet system could offer to the world and dedicated the rest of his life to this cause. His account, while sympathetic, reveals to a modern audience the inner working of the Bolshevik Party, life in Petrograd and the countryside, and an optimistic vision of the revolutionary future.Â

SOMETIMES you come across a lofty railway viaduct, marooned in the middle of a remote country landscape. Or a crumbling platform from some once-bustling junction buried under the buddleia. If you are lucky you might be able to follow some rusting tracks, or explore an old tunnel leading to…well, who knows where? Listen hard. Is that the wind in the undergrowth? Or the spectre of a train from a golden era of the past panting up the embankment?These are the ghosts of The Trains Now Departed.

This book explores the key battlegrounds in the design of the contemporary-art museum, describing the intersection of art, aesthetics, and politics at the highest levels, and the commitment of states, cities, and wealthy individuals to the display of art. It describes museum building as the projection of political power, but also as a desire to acquire power. It is commonplace to assume that the contemporary-art museum has become ever more spectacular, and the place of art ever more subservient within it. This book argues that a tendency to spectacle coexists with another equally powerful tendency, to make art museums that celebrate the artistic process, typically attempting to recreate the feeling of the artist''s studio. Richard J. Williams''s stimulating text includes many historical examples to illustrate how we got to where we are now, from the Centre Pompidou in Paris, to the Guggenheim museums in New York and Bilbao, LondonÂ’s Tate Modern, Oscar Niemeyer''s work in Brazil and beyond, and the 798 Art District in Beijing.

The first biography of a great American composer of the cinema ageJohn Williams is one of the most important film composers of all time, having almost singlehandedly revived the Hollywood symphonic scoring tradition and helped restore the livelihood of American orchestras through the popularity of film music programming. His film music, in the words of director Oliver Stone, "came to stand for the American culture."In John Williams: A Composer''s Life, the first biography of the composer, author Tim Greiving offers an engaging account of a man whose body of work is well-known but whose personal life has consistently remained very private. Williams wrote the memorable scores and hummable themes for a staggering number of popular touchstones across multiple generations--among them Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park, Schindler''s List, and the Harry Potter series--and earned more Oscar nominations than any individual artist in the history of the motion picture Academy. He also composed dozens of concerti, fanfares, and other concert works and was a national presence as music director of the Boston Pops for more than a decade. He inspired countless children to pursue a career in the orchestra and won the respect of the classical community worldwide. Seeking ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Austerity is forcing millions into poverty and many more into precarious work, while the left remains trapped in stagnant political practices that offer no respite.Inventing the Future is a bold new manifesto for life after capitalism.

Instead of running from a complex future, Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams demand a postcapitalist economy capable of advancing standards, liberating humanity from work and developing technologies that expand our freedoms.This new edition includes a new chapter where they respond to their various critics.
