Top Fuel Wormhole
Volume 1 of the Cole Coonce drag strip reader. Churned out between races while sitting in a trackside porta-potty, Coonce's collection of incendiary drag strip journalism was written during his days at Super Stock & Drag Illustrated, Full Throttle News and Nitronic Research, between his stints as a guitar player in Braindead Soundmachine and his return to show business as Angelyne's fluffer in Studio City, California. Its 256 pages of ack-ack includes "Viva La Nitro " and "Who's Afraid of Arley Langlo?"

Sex & Travel & Vestiges of Metallic Fragments
Sex & Travel & Vestiges of Metallic Fragments is an anthology of essays probing and deconstructing modern and historical concerns, from Katrina to Antietam to Hollywood to Irwindale; be it luscious low-rent lap dancers or land speed record losers; reactionary rock stars or genocidal Confederate Generals; Death Valley meth-heads or Japanese drifters; Teutonic milfs in swimsuits or Ashcroft informants; anarchic adrenaline-addled urban bicyclists or Scientologists; from Mark E. Smith and Merle Haggard to Kathie Lee Gifford, Courtney Love and the chick from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Of the zeitgeist and a cosmological constant, this collection of literary journalism for the fast, the inquisitive and the appalled.

Come Down from the Hills and Make My Baby
Los Angeles, they say, is a siren. Calling all of us not born in this in this city, like the Whore of Babylon to an end-of-the-world orgy. It's easy for those of us recent additions to this freakshow-sex party to ignore that this city is followed by an immense history that still lingers along the streets (and the gutters) we walk everyday. New Angelenos truly enthralled with their home have years of reading ahead of them, starting with the apocalyptic Day of the Locust. For the slackers just mildly interested in getting some head from Los Angeles, there is only one book: Come Down From the Hills and Make My Baby. Reading Cole Coonce's pornographic love letter to Los Angeles is like skipping ...

Vzestup Islámského státu
Je Islámský stát nepochopená, anebo spíš nepochopitelná organizace? A je to jen parta hrdlořezů? Akty tohoto nejvýraznějšího nestátního ozbrojeného aktéra současnosti jsou nepřehlédnutelné – a jak by také mohly být jiné, když kromě boje se skutečnými zbraněmi se jim daří úspěšně útočit i na mediální sféru a podmaňovat si internet. Přestože jsou však zmínky o bojovnících tzv. Islámského státu téměř všudypřítomné, co o nich vlastně víme a co víme o vzniku skupiny samotné? Islám, Střední a Blízký východ, sunnité, ší’ité, sektářské násilí. Pro laika jistě věcí nesnadné k pochopení, tato kniha pro něj však mů...
