Od raných začátků v rockové éře 60. let bořila heavymetalová hudba hranice kulturního vkusu, vyvolávala bouřlivé nadšení v davech mladých lidí a inspirovala miliony k tomu, aby se chopily elektrických kytar a otočily knoflík zesilovače až na jedenáctku. Daniel Bukszpan, veterán mezi hroziči a uznávaný hudební recenzent, v tomto průvodci metalem líčí dráhy hvězd jako Black Sabbath, Deep Purple či Led Zeppelin, přes shockrockery Alice Coopera a Marilyna Mansona až po současné velikány death- a blafl-metalu Entombed či Mayhem.

Tato publikace slouží jako vzrušující četba a cenný zdroj poznatků pro hudební vědce, zaryté metalové fanoušky i žrouty popkultury.

The third book in the bestselling Chronicles of St Mary's series which follows a group of tea-soaked disaster magnets as they hurtle their way around History. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor. History happens all around you. And, occasionally, to you. I could have been a bomb-disposal expert, or a volunteer for the Mars mission, or a firefighter, something safe and sensible. But, no, I had to be an historian. It began well. A successful assignment to 17th century Cambridge to meet Isaac Newton, and another to witness the historic events at The Gates of Grief. So far so good. But then came the long-awaited jump to the Trojan War that changed everything. And for Max, nothing will ever be the same again. With the bloody Battle of Agincourt playing out around her, Max risks everything on one last desperate gamble to save a life and learns the true meaning of a second chance.

"What scares you? Ex-FBI profiler, Jefferson Winter is in Berlin, hunting down a serial killer who terrorises his victims by bringing them face to face with their greatest fears. So far, three women have been abducted and murdered. A DVD that shows the women being tortured has been left at each of the crime scenes, a detail that echoes a killer who operated in Berlin five years earlier, one the media nicknamed Warhol because of the 15 minute long films he left with his victims. Warhol was never caught. He killed five young women then suddenly stopped. But Winter knows that serial killers don't just stop. The police think they are dealing with a copycat killer, but what if the real Warhol is behind the latest killings? And if it is him, what has been doing for the last five years?"--Provided by publisher
