Lucia Corradini Caspani Knihy

Autor, odborník na stromy, Jonathan Drori v této knize vysvětlí, jakou roli hrají stromy v každodenním životě člověka – od romantické role až po ty politováníhodné. Cestou za 80 stromy se mimo jiné zastavíme u berlínských lip, které každý rok v době květu očarují zamilované Němce i hladové včely, dále se zastavíme na elegantních ulicích Londýna dlážděných dřevem eukalyptu a také v kalifornských lesích u vysokých sekvojí. Na každé zastávce se dozvíte neuvěřitelné, ale pravdivé příběhy – od mumifikovaných mnichů až po kozy šplhající na stromy a mírně radioaktivní ořechy. Každý strom doplňuje nádherná ilustrace Lucille Clercové. Richard Deverell, ředitel Královských botanických zahrad v Kew o knize napsal: "Úchvatné životopisy neobyčejných stromů. Každou stranou prosvítá úžas nad rozmanitostí světa přírody."

"Sterling is an ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens - until the day its complacency is shattered by an act of violence. Josie Cormier, the teenage daughter of the judge sitting on the case, should be the state's best witness, but she can't remember what happened before her very own eyes - or can she? As the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show - destroying the closest of friendships and families."--Page 4 cover

Jacob Hunt je jen zdánlivě obyčejný teenager – exceluje v matematice, má hodně černý smysl pro humor a nenávidí nepořádek. To, co má navíc, je Aspergerův syndrom, formu autistické poruchy. Je neprodyšně uzavřený ve svém vlastní světě. Snaží se být jako všichni ostatní, ale netuší, jak by to měl udělat. Jednoho dne je za podivných okolností zavražděna jeho lektorka Jess a chlapec s uhýbavým pohledem je rázem prvním podezřelým. Byl by schopen vraždy? Kdo se k němu dokáže dostat natolik blízko, aby poznal pravdu? 2. vydání.

For thousands of years the Great Sphinx of Egypt has gazed towards the east, reading a message in the stars that mankind has long forgotten. This work considers geological and archaeo-astronomical evidence that suggests that the Sphinx may be a great deal older than Egyptologists believe. It has also become clear that the three enormous pyramids of the Giza plateau, half a mile to the west of the Sphinx, are not the tombs of megalomaniac Pharaohs but a precise map of the stars of Orion's Belt.

Psychologický román oblíbené americké autorky. Hlavní hrdinka Dawn je hluboce zasažena událostí, při které mohla zemřít.

New York Times mega-bestselling author of The Seat of the Soul, Gary Zukav takes a giant leap forward in his message, with this guide to the next level of spiritual growth. "THE LONGEST JOURNEY YOU WILL MAKE IN YOUR LIFE IS FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR HEART." With the rare combination of profound psychological insight and deep spirituality that has already drawn millions of readers to his two great national bestsellers, The Seat of the Soul and Soul Stories, prizewinning author Gary Zukav now joins with his spiritual partner Linda Francis to help us develop a new emotional awareness that is central to our spiritual development. In The Seat of the Soul, Zukav brilliantly set forth his fundamental concepts, explaining how the expansion of human perception beyond the five senses leads to a new understanding of power as the alignment of the personality with the soul -- "authentic power." In Soul Stories, he showed how such concepts as harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life express themselves in other people's lives. Now, in The Heart of the Soul, he and Francis take the next major step forward in showing us the importance of emotional awareness in applying these concepts to our own daily lives.
