Sebastião Salgado traveled the Brazilian Amazon and photographed the unparalleled beauty of this extraordinary region for six years: the forest, the rivers, the mountains, the people who live there—an irreplaceable treasure of humanity. In the book’s foreword Salgado writes: “For me, it is the last frontier, a mysterious universe of its own, where the immense power of nature can be felt as nowhere else on earth. Here is a forest stretching to infinity that contains one-tenth of all living plant and animal species, the world’s largest single natural laboratory.” Salgado visited a dozen indigenous tribes that exist in small communities scattered across the largest tropical rainforest in the world.He documented the daily life of the Yanomami, the Asháninka, the Yawanawá, the Suruwahá, the Zo’é, the Kuikuro, the Waurá, the Kamayurá, the Korubo, the Marubo, the Awá, and the Macuxi—their warm family bonds, their hunting and fishing, the manner in which they prepare and share meals, their marvelous talent for painting their faces and bodies, the significance of their shamans, and their dances and rituals. Sebastião Salgado has dedicated this book to the indigenous peoples of Brazil’s Amazon region: “My wish, with all my heart, with all my energy, with all the passion I possess, is that in 50 years’ time this book will not resemble a record of a lost world. Amazônia must live on.” INSTITUTO TERRA Founded in 1998 at Aimorés in the state of Minas Gerais, Instituto Terra is the culmination of Lélia Wanick Salgado and Sebastião Salgado’s lifelong activism and work as cultural documentarians.Through a scientific program of planting and raising saplings, the organization has performed a miraculous reforestation of the once infertile region and furthered the Salgados’ mission of reversing the damage done to our planet.

Niektórym ludziom zabijanie sprawia przyjemność, są też mordercy, którzy w swoim schizofrenicznym świecie słyszą nakaz aby zabić, wykonać polecenie według zaplanowanego klucza… Tym razem komisarz Wiktor Trak ściga wyrafinowanego zabójcę. Metody stosowane przez śledczego są niekonwencjonalne, odbiegają od powszechnie przyjętych w policji, co spotyka się z krytyką zwierzchników. Być może nikt nie jest bez winy…
W „Farmerze”, podobnie jak poprzednio w „Daltoniście” oraz „Słudze”, ukazana została postać bezwzględnego mordercy, którego patologiczny umysł planuje kolejne zbrodnicze akty. Czy mogą zaistnieć okoliczności, w których my także przejdziemy na ciemną stronę mocy? Na to pytanie odpowiedzcie sobie sami. „Farmer” to kolejna książka z komisarzem Wiktorem Trakiem, który prowadzi, jak zwykle, skomplikowane i intrygujące śledztwo. Razem z aspirantką Natalią podążają śladami nieuchwytnego mordercy, a im bliżej są rozwiązania zagadki, tym bardziej sytuacja komplikuje się. Śmierć chirurga i tajemniczy pożar to dopiero początek historii… „Kiedy we wszechświecie zostajesz tylko Ty i książka, znaczy, że jest wyśmienita. W „Farmerze” znalazłam mój ulubiony mix. Wątek kryminalny, wątek psychologiczny i wątek miłosny. Oj, działo się, no i zapomniałam o Bożym świecie”. Beata Świętochowska, recenzentka
Jeśli macie ochotę na historie z angażującą fabułą, to "Opowiadania z trupem w tle" będą dobrym wyborem, ponieważ treść książki raczej was nie zawiedzie. Polecam z czystym sumieniem. Głównie dlatego, że zauroczył mnie sam pomysł, jak i warsztat autora, który jest naprawdę na najwyższym poziomie. Czyta się tak przyjemnie, że nie zważa się na mijający czas. Bohaterowie są przedstawieni w bardzo realistyczny sposób. Nie są wyidealizowani, co sprawia, że da się ich polubić. Ta książka, to rzeczywisty obraz dzisiejszego świata i przedstawienie tego, jak można zapętlić się we własnych sekretach. Mroczne, misternie wykreowane historie nie pozbawione uroku, wyszukanego języka, bogatego w środki wyrazu, refleksji nad życiem i problemami tego świata, z zaskakującym zakończeniem.
Iwona Knechta, wydawca
Śmierć jest jak podatki – nieuchronna, a Leon Durka za sprawą tej antologii rozkłada ją na czynniki pierwsze. Każde z tych opowiadań pod śmiercionośną warstwą skrywa w sobie głębszy sens, ale też pozwala dotrzeć w najczarniejsze zakamarki psychiki. Dajcie się porwać temu zaskakującym studium ludzkiej natury, by odkryć drzemiące w człowieku pokłady zła. Nie zwlekajcie! Mroczny żniwiarz już czeka za rogiem...

Harkening to Agatha Christie’s classic And Then There Were None, this high-tension thriller follows five couples trapped on a storm-swept island as a killer stalks among them—from Ruth Ware, the New York Times bestselling author who “is turning out to be as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime” (The Washington Post).
Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she’s pretty sure they won’t extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren’t going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, One Perfect Couple, she agrees to try out with him.
A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla finds herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, boating through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island, where the two of them will compete against four other couples—Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zana—in order to win a cash prize.
But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong. After the first challenge leaves everyone rattled and angry, an overnight storm takes matters from bad to worse. Cut off from the mainland by miles of ocean, deprived of their phones, and unable to contact the crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real—and the stakes are life or death.
The adventure continues with the thrilling fourth installment in the Skandar series from New York Times and internationally bestselling author A.F. Steadman!
As Skandar and his friends begin their fourth year at the Eyrie, the Island’s unicorns are struck by a terrible curse that threatens to change everything. Between a Commodore determined to eliminate the spirit element for good and a sister hellbent on revenge, nowhere is safe for Skandar.
As more unicorns are affected by the curse, the clock is ticking for Skandar and his quartet, who find themselves racing for their lives. Can they stop the curse in its tracks before the Island is lost forever?

She and Daniel conduct a passionate but brief shipboard affair, but are separated as soon as the ship docks in Shanghai. Will he ever see her again?
Daniel is immediately plunged into his uncle’s seductive and corrupt world, and becomes involved in the launch of a new nightclub, the biggest, best and most glitzy in town. When violence breaks out and lives are at risk, he finds himself drawn irrevocably into the terrifying underworld that is wartime Shanghai.

Two adversaries. One deadly alliance. Together, can they unlock the truth?
Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend, Dr John Watson, have been hired by actor George Reynolds to help him solve a puzzle. George wants them to find out why the audience who comes to see him perform every night are the same people, only wearing disguises. Is something sinister going on and, if so, what?
Meanwhile, Holmes’ archenemy, Professor James Moriarty is having problems of his own. Implicated in the murder of a gang leader, Moriarty and his second, Moran, must go on the run from the police in order to find out who is behind the set-up.
But their investigation puts them in the way of Holmes and Watson and it’s not long before all four realise that they are being targeted by the same person. With lives on the line, not just their own, they must form an uneasy alliance in order to unmask the true villain. With clues leading them to a hotel in Switzerland and a conspiracy far greater than any of them expected, who can be trusted – and will anyone of them survive?
So begins the lively alphabet rhyme that children and their parents love to recite. Martin and Archambault's rhythmic chant and Caldecott Honor artist Lois Ehlert's bold, cheerful art make this rollicking story an ideal companion to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

If he can prove he loved her then, and he loves her still, this time might be different.
Ten years after one of the most heartbreaking nights of her life, Melody Woods is back in her small hometown of Oakwood Bay, broke, jaded, and unceremoniously dumped by her big-city boyfriend. To top it all off, her twin brother, Parker, is pushing her to take his spot on a camping trip with the one guy she’s spent a decade avoiding.
For college football coach Zac Porter, his best friend’s twin sister, Melody, has always been off-limits. And after fumbling his chance ten years ago, a devastated Zac was sure he’d lost Melody for good. So, when Melody shows up at the campsite instead of Parker, Zac realizes that now is the time to prove to her that they were always meant to be, no matter how long it takes to make up for his teenage self’s mistake.
Reeling from the truth of her last relationship, Melody plans to stay in town just long enough to get back on her feet. Then, she’s gone again. Meanwhile, Zac is facing an uphill battle to coach his team to its first winning game in years, to show Melody how she deserves to be loved, and to keep Parker from ever finding out. Maybe then, being with her will be more than just a dream.
