In the twenty-third century, humanity is enjoying a comparative utopia. Yet life on Earth is about to change, forever. Feriton Kane’s investigative team has discovered the worst threat ever to face mankind – and we’ve almost no time to fight back. The supposedly benign Olyix plan to harvest humanity, in order to carry us to their god at the end of the universe. And as their agents conclude schemes down on earth, vast warships converge above to gather this cargo.
Some factions push for humanity to flee, to live in hiding amongst the stars – although only a chosen few would make it out in time. But others refuse to break before the storm. As disaster looms, animosities must be set aside to focus on just one goal: wiping this enemy from the face of creation. Even if it means preparing for a future this generation will never see.

It is the history of a revolution that went wrong-and of the excellent excuses that were forthcoming at every step for the perversion of the original doctrine, wrote George Orwell for the first edition of "Animal Farm" in 1945. His simple and tragic fable, telling of what happens when the animals drive out Mr. Jones and attempt to run the farm themselves, has since become a world-famous classic of English prose.

Чи замислюємося ми, яку роль грає колір у нашому житті? Мабуть, що ні. Адже ми так звикли до різнобарв’я світу, що у вирі сучасного життя майже не помічаємо цього. Утім колір має давню, багату й загадкову історію. Ви хочете дізнатися, коли жовтий став кольором перемоги і чому діти не люблять фіолетовий? Чому червона автівка не надто пасує поважному «батечку сімейства» і чи справді спати на чорних простирадлах означає прикликати до себе ночами диявола? Чому зелений іще від доби Середньовіччя набув поганої слави, що подеколи переслідує його й сьогодні, а смужки на одязі донедавна сприймали як щось непристойне? Тож вирушайте у захопливу подорож разом із французьким істориком Мішелем Пастуро – ерудованим мрійником, цікавим оповідачем, знаним фахівцем кольорів. Його «хроматичний щоденник», довжиною в півстоліття (1950–2010), простежує історію кольорів у Франції та Європі й охоплює чи не всі царини людського життя – одяг і їжу, спорт і кіно, літературу, мову та живопис, емблеми, герби та прапори, музеї, метро тощо. Кольори навкруги. Варто їх побачити.

In 1994 fledgling journalist Louis Theroux was given a one-off gig on Michael Moore's TV Nation, presenting a segment on apocalyptic religious sects. Gawky, socially awkward and totally unqualified, his first reaction to this exciting opportunity was panic. But he'd always been drawn to off-beat characters, so maybe his enthusiasm would carry the day. Or, you know, maybe it wouldn't . . . In his new book, Louis takes the reader on a joyous journey through his life and unexpectedly successful career. Nervously accepting the BBC's offer of his own series, he went on to create an award-winning documentary style that has seen him immersed in worlds as diverse as racist US militias and secretive pro-wrestlers, the violent gangs of Johannesburg and extreme drinkers in London. Arguably his biggest challenge was corralling celebrities in his When Louis Met series, with Jimmy Savile proving most elusive. Blindsided when the revelations about Savile came to light, Louis was to reflect again on the nature of evil he had spent decades uncovering. Filled with wry observation, larger-than-life characters, and self-deprecating humour, this is Louis at his insightful and honest best.

Легендарна книга швейцарського воєнного експерта майора Ганса фон Даха є чудовим посібником, метою якого є навчити, як перемагати навіть тоді, коли супротивником є, здавалося б, непереможна і суттєво переважаюча військова потуга. Автор розкриває моральні засади, стратегічні цілі, тактику і бойові техніки т. зв. малої війни. Вихідним принципом служить переконання, що боротьба за свободу не завершується навіть після нищівної поразки у регулярній війні, навіть після цілковитого розгрому армії. Із надзвичайною ясністю розкриваються принципи організації руху опору, створення формацій малої війни, забезпечення їх зброєю, боєприпасами, харчами, здійснення диверсій, засідок, методи протидії каральним заходам ворога тощо. Книга проілюстрована численними рисунками автора, які, зображаючи зразки бойових акцій та технік опору, значно полегшують засвоєння матеріалу.

'How can we summon a moment of lift for human beings – and especially for women? Because when you lift up women, you lift up humanity.'
For the last twenty years, Melinda Gates has been on a mission to find solutions for people with the most urgent needs, wherever they live. Throughout this journey, one thing has become increasingly clear to her: If you want to lift a society up, you need to stop keeping women down.
In this moving and compelling book, Melinda shares the stories of the inspiring people she’s met during her work and travels around the world and the lessons she’s learned from them. As she writes in the introduction, “That is why I had to write this book – to share the stories of people who have given focus and urgency to my life. I want all of us to see ways we can lift women up where we live.”
Melinda’s unforgettable narrative is backed by startling data as she presents the issues that most need our attention – from child marriage to lack of access to contraceptives to gender inequity in the workplace. And, for the first time, she writes about her personal life and the road to equality in her own marriage. Throughout, she shows how there has never been more opportunity to change the world – and ourselves.

У новій монографії професора Петра Іванишина запропоновано герменевтичне трактування такого складного політико-ідеологічного явища, як неолібералізм. Спираючись на націософську традицію тлумачення, на праці українських та закордонних авторів, дослідник ретельно простежує визначення, витоки та основні течії повоєнного лібералізму, аналізує його зовнішню, внутрішню, економічну та культурну політики, окреслює основні ідеологічні концепти, характер та структуру правлячого новоліберального класу. Автор підводить читача до висновку про імперський характер неолібералістичного політичного світогляду, що домінує на повоєнному Заході, й остерігає перед його бездумними імітаціями в новітній Україні. Видання розраховане на всіх тих, хто вивчає історію та теорію політичних ідеологій, філософію ідей, політологію, націологію, економіку та сучасну культуру.

Це продовження книги «Ukraїner. Країна зсередини», що стала найбільш продаваною на IX Міжнародному фестивалі «Книжковий Арсенал».
Наша команда продовжує дослідження України, результатами якого ми ділимося з вами. Ця книга містить історії української землі, розказані людьми та відзняті командою Ukraїner. Об’їхати усі регіони України один раз виявилося замало, аби пізнати її. Тож протягом 2019-2021 р. ми проїхали друге експедиційне коло та привезли ще більше розповідей про нашу неймовірну країну та її мешканців. Як і всі матеріали Ukraїner — це історії реальних людей та місць, якими вони опікуються, із діалогами та без режисури. Мандруючи країною, ми прагнемо зафіксувати її як для кожного українця, так і для всього світу. А з початком розв’язаної Росією загарбницької війни, у цієї книги з’явилась ще одна важлива мета: показати Україну такою, якою вона була до 24 лютого, зберегти її в пам’яті.
