When the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. But he s not alone. He s surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade - a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze. Like Thomas, the Gladers don t know why or how they came to be there - or what s happened to the world outside. All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back, they will risk everything - even the Grievers, half-machine, half-animal horror that patrol its corridors, to try and find out.

The God Delusion caused a sensation when it was published in 2006. Within weeks it became the most hotly debated topic, with Dawkins himself branded as either saint or sinner for presenting his hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of religion of all types. His argument could hardly be more topical. While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world. In America, and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between ''intelligent design'' and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights such as women''s and gay rights. And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind.Dawkins attacks God in all his forms. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry and abuses children.The God Delusion is a brilliantly argued, fascinating polemic that will be required reading for anyone interested in this most emotional and important subject.

''Part memoir, part naturescape and part gardening book ... there is also something much rarer in this book: wisdom. What a treat'' The Times''Delightful ... Mabey is the doyen of UK nature writing'' New Statesman''Our greatest nature writer'' New ScientistWe regard gardens as our personal dominions, where we can create whatever worlds we desire. But they are also occupied by myriads of other organisms, all with their own lives to lead. The conflict between these two power bases, Richard Mabey suggests, is a microcosm of what is happening in the larger world. In this provocative book, rooted in the daily dramas of his own Norfolk garden, Mabey offers a different scenario, where nature becomes an equal partner, a ''gardener'' itself. Against a background of disordered seasons he watches his ''accidental'' garden reorganising itself. Ants sow cowslip seeds in the parched grass. Moorhens take to nesting in trees. A spectacular self-seeded rose springs up in the gravel. The garden becomes a place of cultural and ecological fusion, and perhaps a metaphor for the troubled planet. This is vintage Mabey, maverick, intensely observed, and written with an unquenchable sense of wonder.

eBook: The Beetle (1897) tells the story of a fantastical creature, “born of neither god nor man,” with supernatural and hypnotic powers, who stalks British politician Paul Lessingham through fin de siècle London in search of vengeance for the defilement of a sacred tomb in Egypt. In imitation of various popular fiction genres of the late nineteenth century, Marsh unfolds a tale of terror, late imperial fears, and the “return of the repressed,” through which the crisis of late imperial Englishness is revealed. This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and a rich selection of historical documents that situate the novel within the contexts of fin de siècle London, England’s interest and involvement in Egypt, the emergence of the New Woman, and contemporary theories of mesmerism and animal magnetism.

Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the Sunday Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate. The one thing you never talk about while you're in the Scholomance is what you'll do when you get out - not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. But that impossible dream has somehow come true for El and her classmates. And what's more, she didn't even have to become the monstrous dark witch she's prophesised to become to make it happen. Instead of killing enclavers, she saved them, and now the world is safe for all wizards. Peace and harmony have enveloped all the enclaves of the world. Just kidding. Instead, someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in El's stead, and everyone she saved is at risk again with a full-scale enclave war on the horizon. And so, the first thing El needs to do after miraculously escaping the Scholomance, is to turn straight around and find a way back in.

Atlas čínských dějin představuje první kroky na nijak probádané cestě. Rychle se probouzející zájem o nejlidnatější zemi světa, jenž v posledních měsících a letech zaznamenáváme, přináší velkou poptávku po nejrůznějších zpracováních čínských reálií, historii nevyjímaje. Autoři se tomuto trendu snaží vyjít vstříc a v nijak rozsáhlé formě se pokusili zachytit nejvýznamnější okamžiky oněch asi 2 500 let čínských dějin, a to s důrazem na poslední století. Publikací, zabývajících se historií i současností Číny, asi nebude v nejbližších letech dostatek. Lze tedy doufat, že atlas si nalezne nejen příznivce, ale také následovníky, neboť kartografické ztvárnění dějin patří mezi nejefektivnější způsob poznávání historie jak vlastní země, tak i zemí ostatních.

Dějiny lidstva jsou mimo jiné také dějinami válek a zájem široké veřejnosti o historii bojových střetů se v průběhu času nijak nezmenšuje. Mezi oblíbené publikace patří přehledy nejvýznamnějších bitev světových dějin, které ve větší (či dokonce zásadní) míře ovlivnily osudy jednotlivých států či celých kontinentů. Kniha Osudové bitvy dějin z pera uznávaného historika Jiřího Fidlera zahrnuje 55 bitev světových dějin (od bitvy u Thymbry až po válku o Kosovo), které podle autorova nejlepšího zdání splňují podmínku osudovosti z hlediska dalšího historického vývoje. Všechny bitvy jsou zpracovány jednotným způsobem a doplňuje je nadstandardní obrazová příloha ve formě dobových či pozdějších ilustrací. Součástí jednotlivých kapitol jsou také drobné životopisné studie vojevůdců zúčastněných stran, které doplňují jejich portréty s jednotným výtvarným ztvárněním. Nejdůležitějšími přílohami jsou mapy, zobrazující jak politickou situaci válečných protagonistů před daným osudovým střetem, tak několik vývojových fází každé ze sledovaných bitev.

Osobnost sedmého československého prezidenta, armádního generála Ludvíka Svobody, je starším generacím dobře známá, generace mladší mají o něm povědomost kvůli kontroverzím doby nedávné. Svobodových životopisů sice existuje povícero, většinou však jsou determinovány dobou svého vzniku a snahou vyhnout se pojmenování dobových problémů. Autor měl možnost seznámit se prakticky v úplnosti s českými archivnímu materiály, mnohdy i nezpracovanými, zvláště pak s celou pozůstalostí hlavy československého státu. Výsledkem je první rozsáhlá vědecká monografie o člověku, který se pro mnoho generací našich občanů stal symbolem.
