Edgar Wallace
Ambrose Sault finds a quasi-scientific way to insert his soul into another mans body before he is hanged for murder. The murder of Moropulos by Sault is a mystery in motive and deed. Twice a murderer, Sault is nevertheless a commanding figure and an appealing character. He is the center of a tragedy... The novel is long and breezy and a bit confusing, a comedy of manners at some points, a melodrama at others. This story from the most prolific writers of the twentieth century, Edgar Wallace was an immensely popular author, who created exciting thrillers spiced with tales of treacherous crooks and hard-boiled detectives.
Zane Grey
Trying to save the life of an Indian child when hes thrown from his horse, John Curry falls into the arms of a lonely married woman with a jealous, scheming husband. Unless Curry revives his mission of mercy, three people will die and the first one will be Curry. Here is all the thrilling action, color, and romance of the Old West, exciting tales that make your blood tingle! Ruthless bandits in a lawless land: fearless men and the brave women they fought for. The roar of blazing guns, the awesome silence of prairie and canyon. Captives of the Desert has its social commentary on the sacredness of marriage, and its religious undertones how the desert can take hold of a person and fashion them into its own image, or can exert a force, of an inexplicable kind, to bring peace and contentment over the soul a communing with God.
Car Iwan IV. Wasylewicz Groźny
Aleksander Kraushar
Dzieje życia i zbrodni okrutnego cara. Któż nie słyszał o sławnym carze moskiewskim Iwanie IV. Wasylewiczu Groźnym, który, wywodząc ród swój aż od cesarza rzymskiego Augusta, pisywał się z łaski i woli Boga, w Trójcy św. sławionego, dzierżąc berło rosyjskiego carstwa, wielki gosudar, car i wielki książę Joann Wasylewicz, wszystkiej Rusi samodzierżca itd.? A ponieważ panownika takowego nie było, a nie będzie, póki świat światem, przeto nie żal kreślić tu, jakim to istnie, bieluchnym kruczkiem, był Groźny etot nastajaszczoj maładjec.
Wiktor Gomulicki
Car widmo. Powieść z czasów zasiadania a przecie nie siedzenia Władysława, syna Zygmuntowego, na tronie Rurykowym to piękna historyczna powieść przygodowa z czasów świetności Polski, a czasów Wielkiej Smuty i niepokojów w Rosji, opowiadająca o tym jak Polacy zdobywali moskiewski Kreml, jak sandomierzanka Maryna Mniszchówna została carycą rosyjską u boku Dymitra Samozwańca, a król Władysław carem moskiewskim po pokonaniu Wasyla Szujskiego. Powieść czyta się jednym tchem przenosi nas ona w egzotyczny a niekiedy wręcz na poły baśniowy świat dawnej Rosji, w czas wojen, bitew, potyczek, dzielnych rycerzy, bojarów i kozaków, ukrytych skarbów carów i monastyrów, władzy, intryg, spisków, ale też o dzielności i szlachetności.
Caravaggio i caravaggioniści. Malarska podróż po Rzymie
Barbara Kokoska
To pozycja wartościowa jako monografia. Właściwie przybliżająca fakty, frapująca w interpretacjach i świetna w czytaniu, co zapewne doceniłby David Carrier, sugerujący, że historia sztuki zmienia się w literaturę, przynajmniej od czasów Panofskiego. Tak bowiem powinno być, aby naukowa kompetencja zmieniała się w intrygującą literaturę, a poznanie oznaczało, nie tylko przyswajanie wiedzy, ale i doświadczanie piękna. Poetyckiego w literaturze i malarskiego w opisanym i zinterpretowanym obrazie. dr hab. Rafał Solewski, prof. UKEN

Google Cardboard is a low-cost, entry-level media platform through which you can experience virtual reality and virtual 3D environments. Its applications are as broad and varied as mobile smartphone applications themselves. This book will educate you on the best practices and methodology needed to build effective, stable, and performant mobile VR applications.In this book, we begin by defining virtual reality (VR) and how Google Cardboard fits into the larger VR and Android ecosystem. We introduce the underlying scientific and technical principles behind VR, including geometry, optics, rendering, and mobile software architecture. We start with a simple example app that ensures your environment is properly set up to write, build, and run the app. Then we develop a reusable VR graphics engine that you can build upon. And from then on, each chapter is a self-contained project where you will build an example from a different genre of application, including a 360 degree photo viewer, an educational simulation of our solar system, a 3D model viewer, and a music visualizer.Given the recent updates that were rolled out at Google I/O 2016, the authors of Cardboard VR Projects for Android have collated some technical notes to help you execute the projects in this book with Google VR Cardboard Java SDK 0.8, released in May 2016. Refer to the article at https://www.packtpub.com/sites/default/files/downloads/GoogleVRUpdateGuideforCardbook.pdf which explains the updates to the source code of the projects.
