From Snuff: 'Vimes' prompt arrival got a nod of approval from Sybil, who gingerly handed him a new book to read to Young Sam. Vimes looked at the cover. The title was The World of Poo. When his wife was out of eyeshot he carefully leafed through it. Well, okay, you had to accept that the world had moved on and these days fairy stories were probably not going to be about twinkly little things with wings. As he turned page after page, it dawned on him that whoever had written this book, they certainly knew what would make kids like Young Sam laugh until they were nearly sick. The bit about sailing down the river almost made him smile. But interspersed with the scatology was actually quite interesting stuff about septic tanks and dunnakin divers and gongfermors and how dog muck helped make the very best leather, and other things that you never thought you would need to know, but once heard somehow lodged in your mind.'

In the beginning there was...a turtle.Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different.Particularly as it's carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules.But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc's very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world's first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.Unfortunately, the person charged with maintaining that survival in the face of robbers, mercenaries and, well, Death, is a spectacularly inept wizard...

There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact.So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. Atlantis is rising. Frogs are falling.Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They've lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle.So if Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the AntiChrist (which is a shame, really, as he's a nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him. This edition features a new revised text, approved by Neil Gaiman and the Pratchett Estate, which clears up many typos and errors from previous editions.It also features twelve full colour illustrations from Paul Kidby - Terry Pratchett's artist of choice - and further pencil drawings.

Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young and friendly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologises and tells Wen, "None of what's going to happen is your fault".

The world of horses is a peculiar intermediate realm: on one hand, horses embody embeddedness in nature, on the other hand, horses have been strongly associated with the human world for millennia. But there has always been a remnant of wildness and naturalness, of inner fire and dynamic vitality that cannot easily be tamed. The photographer Tomas [Week has been on the trail of the wildness and naturalness of horses for decades. Of course, horses are not the only theme of this talented photographer; he has already created the impressive books "Magic Places of the Earth", "Magic Stones" and "Trees of the World". For him, they form a single homage to nature. This book about the world of horses wonderfully complements the overall symphony.

A remarkable study in social and cultural change that explains how and why the Late Antique world, between c. 150 and c. 750 AD, came to differ from 'Classical civilization'. The first century AD was one of momentous events: the end of the Roman empire, the rise of Christianity across western Europe and the disappearance of Persia from the Near East; an era in which the most deep-rooted of ancient institutions disappeared for all time creating divergent legacies which are still present. Renowned historian Peter Brown examines these changes and the reactions to them, to show that the period of Late Antiquity was one of outstanding new beginnings and far-reaching impacts. The result is a lucid answer to a crucial question in world history; how the exceptionally homogenous Mediterranean world of the first century AD became divided into the three mutually estranged societies of the Middle Ages: Catholic Western Europe, Byzantium and the Islamic world. Brown's remarkable study in social and cultural transformation explains how and why the Late Antique world, came to differ from the 'Classical civilization' of the Greeks and Romans. Featuring a new preface and updated with colour illustrations throughout, The World of Late Antiquity demonstrates that we still have much to learn from this enduring and intriguing period of history.

Zvláštní vydání! Zvláštní vydání! Přečtěte si! Pohyblivý tisk přichází do Ankh-Morporku! Cech rytců uvažuje o svém zrušení!" Tak začíná dvacátý pátý díl cyklu Úžasná Zeměplocha. Tentokrát vtrhla síla pokroku do největšího města Zeměplochy v podobě velkolepého objevu tisku. Skromný pisálek Mikuláš ze Slova se díky náhodě stává prvním editorem novin Ankh-Morporská Kometa a snad není ani nutné dodávat, že nic nepůjde hladce. Ne každý je totiž nadšen tímto pokrokem a ti, kdo se mluvit nepřejí, rychle objevují umění "No Comment!". Velkou komplikací je i obvinění lorda Vetinariho z vraždy svého asistenta a následný pokus o útěk. Když se pak do záležitostí plete investigativní žurnalista (s "notebookem" v ruce), je nasnadě, že může být odkryto mnohem závažnější spiknutí... Kniha je opět plná břitkého humoru, myšlenky se prohlubují a kvalita zůstává.
