They've battled fiercely to find each other again, and have barely reunited when Amaris is taken away by the queen's dragon.Injured and desperate, Amaris is forced to navigate her new surroundings with the help of Raascot's enigmatic general if she hopes to stay alive.

As wounds heal and new relationships blossom, Nox and Amaris must confront impossible obstacles and stretch their magic to its limits if they are ever to create a world that might finally reunite them for good.The odds are narrow, the stakes are high, and one question remains: Is it fate, love, or something else entirely that binds these two women together?In the enthralling follow-up to The Night and Its Moon, bestselling author Piper CJ redefines love and trust through an authentic fantastical portrayal of queer experiences, found family, and the gray areas that define us all.

STEP INTO THE CITYWhen a young man’s girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he sets his heart on finding the imaginary city where her true self lives. His search will lead him to take a job in a remote library with mysteries of its own. When he finally makes it to the walled city, a shadowless place of horned beasts and willow trees, he finds his beloved working in a different library – a dream library. But she has no memory of their life together in the other world and, as the lines between reality and fantasy start to blur, he must decide what he’s willing to lose. A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a parable for these strange times.

Pro vzhled, charakter a život Prahy je od jejího vzniku zcela zásadním faktorem Vltava, řeka, jejíž tok připravil reliéf krajiny k osídlení pražského kotliny a poté k utváření města, které vyrostlo v metropoli. V průběhu své historie si město řeku pozvolna podmaňovalo. Pražané se naučili využívat její energie v mlýnech a později elektrárnách, řečiště překlenovat různými typy mostů, upravit břehy a ostrovy, vybudovat nábřeží. Do proměn tváře řeky nejradikálněji vstoupilo zřejmě 19. století. Vltavské břehy, dosud většinou využívané jako hospodářské periferie, se proměňovaly v žádané lokality s výstavnými budovami, společenskými centry a elegantními promenádami. Ve vstupní části ukazuje autorka historické sepětí Prahy a Vltavy řeky, kdy vystupovaly do popředí zejména praktické funkce řeky, dnes už většinou vnímané jako estetický prvek, dotvářející malebný obraz města. V druhé části se pak stává průvodkyní komentující současné fotografie zajímavých objektů a míst spojujících Vltavu s Prahou, ať to jsou historické mlýny, jezy, náplavky, ostrovy, vodárenské věže, mosty, nábřeží s jejich budovami i řeka jako místo společenského života města. Kromě fotografií exteriérů provázejí text dokumentační snímky, rejstřík lokací s mapou objektů, přehled ostrovů, mostů, nábřeží a také osobností.

The seas cover over two thirds of our planet and yet most of us live our lives on land, creatures of a different element, at once fascinated and terrified by the beauty and power of these great bodies of water. There are some, though, who go to sea, who get to know its many moods -- the tranquil and mirror-like, the raging and ripple-swept -- and who bring back with them their stories of wonder and warning. Hannah Stowe is one such sea-goer and one such storyteller.Having been raised at the tide's edge on the Pembrokeshire coast, falling asleep to the sweep of the lighthouse beam, Hannah Stowe went to see straight after school and has worked on and studied the sea in depth. Drawing on her expertise as a marine biologist and sailor, and her experiences in the North Sea, the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the North Sea, the Celtic Sea, and the Caribbean, Move Like Water is an exploration of the human relationship with the sea, the powerful impression it has made on our culture, and the terrible damage we have inflicted upon its ecosystems. In shimmering, fluid prose, Stowe introduces us to six keystone marine creatures - the firecrow, sperm whale, the albatross, he humpback whale, the shearwater, and the barnacle - encouraging us to fall in love with the seas as she has, to appreciate their majesty and their vulnerability.This is a heartfelt hymn to the sea and an unforgettable introduction to one of the most gifted nature writers of the new generation.

Kniha - autor Francis Fukuyama, 192 stran, anglicky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá A short book about the challenges to liberalism from the right and the left by the bestselling author of The Origins of Political Order. Classical liberalism is in a state of crisis. Developed in the wake of Europe’s wars over religion and nationalism, liberalism is a system for governing diverse societies, which is grounded in fundamental principles of equality and the rule of law. It emphasizes the rights of individuals to pursue their own forms of happiness free from encroachment by government. It's no secret that liberalism didn't always live up to its own ideals. In America, many people were denied equality before the law. Who counted as full human beings worthy of universal rights was contested for centuries, and only recently has this circle expanded to include women, African Americans, LGBTQ+ people, and others. Conservatives complain that liberalism empties the common life...

Facebook had a problem. Along with its sister platforms Instagram and WhatsApp, it was a daily destination for billions of users around the world, extolling its products for connecting people. But as a succession of scandals rocked Facebook from 2016, some began to question whether the company could control, or even understood, its own platforms.As Facebook employees searched for answers, what they uncovered was worse than they could've imagined. The problems ran far deeper than politics. Facebook was peddling and amplifying anger, looking the other way at human trafficking, enabling drug cartels and authoritarians and allowing VIP users to break the platform's supposedly inviolable rules.It turned out to be eminently possible to isolate many of Facebook's worst problems, but whenever employees offered solutions their work was consistently delayed, watered down or stifled by a company that valued user engagement above all else. The only option left was to blow the whistle. In Broken Code, award-winning Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz tells the riveting inside story of these employees and their explosive discoveries, uncovering the shocking cost of Facebook's blind ambition in the process.

This book follows the successful titles “The Colourful and the Green: Chapters on Voluntary Simplicity” and “The Half-Hearted and the Hesitant: Chapters on Ecological Luxury.” The author poses the question of why, at a time of continuing devastation of nature, people’s interest in nature conservation has been decreasing. Are the media to blame or is our numbness toward ecological problems rooted in our mental makeup that tends to supress unpleasant realities? The author also wants to find out why some people have remained faithful to nature. To get to the answers, she applies sociological, philosophical, psychological, and theological perspectives. An unexpected question that may surprise some readers then becomes: Actually, why should we protect nature when it can take care of itself? It is not weak; it is strong and cruel. Librová’s students Vojtěch Pelikán, Lucie Galčanová, and Lukáš Kala interview the children of “the Colourful,” too: have they inherited their parents’ modest lifestyle?

From one of our leading thinkers, a dazzling philosophical journey through virtual worldsIn the coming decades, the technology that enables virtual and augmented reality will improve beyond recognition. Within a century, world-renowned philosopher David J. Chalmers predicts, we will have virtual worlds that are impossible to distinguish from non-virtual worlds. But is virtual reality just escapism? In a highly original work of 'technophilosophy', Chalmers argues categorically, no: virtual reality is genuine reality. Virtual worlds are not second-class worlds. We can live a meaningful life in virtual reality - and increasingly, we will.What is reality, anyway? How can we lead a good life? Is there a god? How do we know there's an external world - and how do we know we're not living in a computer simulation? In Reality+, Chalmers conducts a grand tour of philosophy, using cutting-edge technology to provide invigorating new answers to age-old questions.Drawing on examples from pop culture, literature and film that help bring philosophical issues to life, Reality+ is a mind-bending journey through virtual worlds, illuminating the nature of reality and our place within it.

Longlisted for the JQ Wingate Prize On the evening of November 8, 1923, the thirty-four-year-old Adolf Hitler stormed into a beer hall in Munich, fired his pistol in the air, and proclaimed a revolution. Seventeen hours later, all that remained of his bold move was a trail of destruction. Hitler was on the run from the police. His career seemed to be over. In The Trial of Adolf Hitler, the acclaimed historian David King tells the true story of the monumental criminal proceeding that followed when Hitler and nine other suspects were charged with high treason. Reporters from as far away as Argentina and Australia flocked to Munich for the sensational four-week spectacle. By its end, Hitler would transform the fiasco of the beer hall putsch into a stunning victory for the fledgling Nazi Party. It was this trial that thrust Hitler into the limelight, provided him with an unprecedented stage for his demagoguery, and set him on his improbable path to power. Based on trial transcripts, police files, and many other new sources, including some five hundred documents recently discovered from the Landsberg Prison record office, The Trial of Adolf Hitler is a gripping true story of crime and punishment - and a haunting failure of justice with catastrophic consequences.

Mors vincit omnia. Death conquers all. London, 1883.The Veil between the living and dead has thinned. Violet-eyed mediums commune with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker Society, and sixteen-year-old Silas Bell would rather rip out his violet eyes than become an obedient Speaker wife. According to Mother, he'll be married by the end of the year.It doesn't matter that he's needed a decade of tutors to hide his autism; that he practices surgery on slaughtered pigs; that he is a boy, not the girl the world insists on seeing. After a failed attempt to escape an arranged marriage, Silas is diagnosed with Veil sickness-a mysterious disease sending violet-eyed women into madness-and shipped away to Braxton's Sanitorium and Finishing School. The facility is cold, the instructors merciless, and the students either bloom into eligible wives or disappear.So when the ghosts of missing students start begging Silas for help, he decides to reach into Braxton's innards and expose its rotten guts to the world-as long as the school doesn't break him first.

One day in late spring, Andrea Marcolongo walks into an outdoor store in Paris to buy a camp bed, a sleeping bag, and a flashlight. Her destination, not a forest or mountain peak, but the deserted halls of one of the most famous museums in the world, the Acropolis of Athens. But it’s hard to be truly alone when you’re surrounded by the scarred beauty of the Parthenon, lit only by the moon and summoning shadows from the past. Amog them, Lord Elgin, the English diplomat who in the early 19th century orchestrated the controversial transportation of the Parthenon marbles from Ottoman Greece to London, where they remain today.As the night goes by, the empty space left by the missing statues starts evoking other, more personal absences. Marcolongo reflects on the ever-changing relationship between present and past, and on the choices that make us who we are. A powerful book that crosses time and space to remind us we cannot live in isolation but are continuously connected and indebted to others, from one of Europe’s most original classicists.

Soubor třinácti skladbiček Kryštůfkovy písničky pro nejmenší zpěváky je složen ze skladeb pro zpěv a klavír (Mámo, táto, v komoře je myš, Houpala se s kočkou kočka, Kyblíček a lopatička, Kámen, nůžky, papír, Kolo, kolo mlýnský) a pro zpěv, klavír a další hudební nástroj (trubky, tympány, klarinety, pozoun, fagot, kontrabas, xylofon, flétna), který vnáší do každé drobné kompozice instrumentální barvu, náladu, humor, umocňuje hudební charakter drobné písňové formy (Leze, leze po železe, Bumtarata na ta vrata, Paci, paci, pacičky, Takhle jedou páni, Šiju boty, Ten vařil, Závin, Kukačka a Kryštof). V jednotlivých partiturách je naznačeno, že lze pro snadnější provedení nástroje vynechat (senza) nebo jejich part přebírá klavír (ossia). Klavírní doprovod je mnohdy velice osobitý, harmonická složka je plná moderních spojů, zahuštěných či mimotonálních akordů, ale hudba je zcela tonální, má vztah k předem dané tónině, tedy využívá především tóny patřící dané stupnici (C dur, E dur, Es dur). Cyklus na texty známých dětských říkanek je v pěvecké melodické lince zcela tonální. Výjimečně se objeví chromatický postup (Houpala se s kočkou kočka, Paci, paci, pacičky) nebo křížkem zvýšený, alterovaný tón (Takhle jedou páni). Klavírní doprovod je však pro zpěv v těchto případech intonační oporou. Opačně tomu může být v písni Kyblíček a lopatička. Její melodika je prostá, v rozsahu kvinty (pěti tónů), především stupnicovitá. Doprovod ve formě polky však obsahuje řadu mimotonálních tónů, takže zpěvák musí svou melodiku důkladně znát, ale současně prožít humorný moderní doprovod zcela přirozeně. V těchto aspektech je každá skladba cyklu skutečně malým uměleckým dílem. Vydatnou pomůckou jsou pro každou píseň vytvořené nahrávky doprovodů (QR kódy). Některé písně jsou melodicky prosté, vycházejí jen z jediného tónu (Bumtarata na ta vrata), některé jsou v rozsahu prvních pěti tónů stupnice (Kyblíček a lopatička, Šiju boty, Paci, paci, pacičky, Mámo, táto, v komoře je myš, Kukačka a Kryštof, Kolo, kolo mlýnský), maximálním rozsahem je oktáva (Takhle jedou páni), tedy celá durová řada, stupnice kombinující melodiku stupnicovitých kroků s rozklady akordů. Cyklus skladeb Kryštůfkovy písničky vznikl spontánně pro všechny nadané malé zpěváky, jejich učitele a pro všechny ostatní, kteří zpěvem, aktivním prožitkem neopomíjejí hudební procesy ve výchově a zrání dětí.

David Whyte's Consolations use everyday words to present us with a prism through which to better understand ourselves and the lives we walk through. At the request of readers globally, Whyte returns with fifty-two short, elegant meditations on a single word ranging from 'Anxiety' to 'Body', 'Freedom', 'Shame' and 'Moon'. He embraces their nuances, amplitudes and depths, and, in doing so, confronts realities that many of us would spend a lifetime trying senselessly to avoid.In Consolations II, anxiety might be more mercifully understood as the preparation for being hurt, fixed beliefs are recognised as the very places where we do not wish to understand, guilt is a friend compassionately waiting for us to catch up and routine becomes a form of ritual and worship. Each piece in this life-affirming book is an invitation to slow down, shift our perspective and find comfort. In these pages, Whyte explores the full constellation of human experience.

The story of how plants and flowers have shaped interior design for over 200 years From ferns in 19th-century British parlors to contemporary 'living walls' in commercial spaces, plants and flowers have long been incorporated into the design of public and private spaces. Spanning two centuries, Nature Inside explores the history and popularity of indoor plants, revealing the close relationship between architecture, interior design, and nature. Studying the international modern interior through the lens of plants in the human environment, author Penny Sparke attributes a degree of the interest in indoor plants to urbanization, and, more recently, the climate crisis, which serve as ongoing reminders that people must maintain a connection to, and respect for, the natural world. While architectural and interior design styles have evolved alongside the popularity of various plant species, the human need to bring nature indoors has remained constant.
