Highlands - Scotlands Wild Heart Moss Stephen

A sumptuous BBC TV tie-in chronicling a year in the life of the landscapes and wildlife of Europe's greatest wilderness: the Scottish Highlands.In the very north of Britain, far from the bustling cities and picturesque countryside to the south, lies Western Europe's greatest wilderness: the Scottish Highlands. This is a land shaped by the flow of ancient ice, where snow-capped mountains tower over ink-black lochs, Golden Eagles soar over heather-clad moors, and Red Deer stags engage in mortal combat for the right to win a mate. Along the coast, sea cliffs and offshore islands teem with millions of seabirds, while the seas themselves are home to Basking Sharks, Orcas and Bottlenose Dolphins.The Highlands may at first sight seem bleak and desolate, but they are also filled with secret wonders, from the ancient Caledonian pine forests to the vast Flow Country, and from

Cybersecurity for Everyone Skillicorn David B.

Cyberspace is a critical part of our lives. Although we all use cyberspace for work, entertainment, and social life, much of its infrastructure and operation is invisible to us. We spend a big part of our lives in an environment that is almost an essential service but is full of potential dangers: a place where criminals can commit new kinds of crimes, where governments can exert political pressure, and where we can be hurt by the unthinking actions of the bored and careless.Making cyberspace more secure is one of the challenges of our times. This is not only (or perhaps even primarily) a technical challenge. It requires actions by governments and businesses to encourage security whenever possible, and to make sure that their own actions do not undermine it. Unfortunately, many of those in a position to do something about cybersecurity do not have the background to understand

Luxury and Fashion Marketing: The Global Perspective Singh Satyendra

The globalization of the world's markets has forced luxury brands to, in turn, become global and accessible in many developing countries and emerging markets. As a result, the demand for these luxury products has increased globally, creating a need for an education in luxury that acknowledges the global perspective yet, at the same time, incorporates subtle regional nuances into luxury and fashion marketing.　　Keeping this global and regional perspective, Luxury and Fashion Marketing: The Global Perspective examines the elements of luxury marketing that contribute to superior luxury brand performance. Specifically, this volume focuses on mission statements, logos, airport retailing, franchising, challenges in luxury marketing, fashion relating to politics, environment, and beachwear, and case studies on luxury brands and emerging markets. 　

Hoax: The Popish Plot That Never Was Stater Victor

The extraordinary story of the Popish Plot and how it shaped the political and religious future of Britain "Stater tells a complex and convoluted story with absolute clarity. . . . As a work of historical scholarship, Hoax is terrific."--Robert G. Ingram, National Review "[Stater's] accounts have the compulsively fascinating quality of a true-crime podcast."--Jeffrey Collins, Wall Street JournalIn 1678, a handful of perjurers claimed that the Catholics of England planned to assassinate the king. Men like the "Reverend Doctor" Titus Oates and "Captain" William Bedloe parlayed their fantastical tales of Irish ruffians, medical poisoners, and silver bullets into public adulation and government pensions. Their political allies used the fabricated plot as a tool to undermine the ministry of Thomas Lord Danby and replace him themselves.

Spodní vody Boba Frídla

Idol sedmdesátých a osmdesátých let 20. století, charismatický lamač ženských srdcí, skladatel, textář a zpěvák - písničkář Bob Frídl absolutně zblízka. Silný příběh osudového setkání tohoto brněnského barda a bezejmenné dívky, které oběma převrátilo život vzhůru nohama. Osobní, místy až intimní výpověď z první ruky, která po letech poprvé odhaluje skrytou kapitolu života této obdivované ikony. V autentickém vyprávění ožívá doba, kdy byl Bob Frídl na vrcholu své slávy, ale čténař je vtažen do událostí a situací mimo jeviště - do soukromí, kde v ústraní, oba skryti pohledům veřejnosti i přátel, intenzivně prožívali svůj vztah. Jak tento vztah poznamenal jejich životy? Kam až můžou zajít následky jednoho náhodného setkání? Tohle není román s promyšlenou, předem propracovanou pointou a happy endem. Je to skutečný příběh, který možná překvapí, ale legend už bylo dost.
