Klinická kardiologie, 6. vydání
Současnou kardiologii charakterizuje obrovský objem faktů, a to faktů podstatných pro každodenní praxi. Kardiologie je však současně také jedním z nejrychleji se vyvíjejících oborů moderní medicíny. Převratné novinky, zejména v terapii, přicházejí nyní i několikrát v průběhu jednoho roku a na kardiology jsou kladeny stále vyšší nároky, aby dokázali držet krok s dynamikou oboru. Vzhledem k tomu, že 5. vydání Klinické kardiologie bylo rychle rozebráno, připravuje autorský kolektiv vedený Janem Vojáčkem a Jiřím Kettnerem další, tentokrát již 6. vydání, přepracované a aktualizované do roku 2026.
Kniha je již tradičně rozdělena do základních 11 klinických oddílů pokrývajících celou kardiologii, obsahuje souhrny pro každodenní kardiologickou praxi, včetně přístupu k nemocnému a rozhodovacích procesů v kardiologii. Na publikaci se podílela řada předních českých kardiologů a podává logicky uspořádaný přehled nejdůležitějších a aktualizovaných praktických znalostí z oblasti celé kardiologie a angiologie. Velkou předností knihy je to, že se autorům podařilo velmi racionálně vše uspořádat do jednodílné publikace s velkým množstvím přehledných grafů, tabulek a obrázků. Předchozí vydání knihy Klinická kardiologie byla Českou kardiologickou společností zařazena do seznamu doporučené literatury pro kardiologickou atestaci. Kniha byla vyznamenána a doporučena jako učebnice k atestaci Českou angiologickou společností.

Easy Rider
Easy Rider (1969) broke the mould of Hollywood studio production, making stars of Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson, and launching a new wave of radical and experimental American cinema. One of the key films of the late 60s, Easy Rider enshrined the ideals of the counterculture, but also foresaw their demise in the division and paranoia of a nation rocked by Watergate and the Vietnam War. Few films since have captured its particular blend of innocence and cynicism, hope and despair. In his illuminating study of the film, Lee Hill explores both the circumstances surrounding its making and the social and cultural forces that found expression in it. Hill argues that the role of the film’s primary screenwriter, Terry Southern, has been neglected as the exact circumstances of production, filming and editing have become lost in myth-making. Drawing on archival research and first-person interviews with Southern, Hill questions some of the legends that surround Easy Rider. In his afterword to this new edition, Hill revisits the film from the perspective of a contemporary era of political strife, and traces the subsequent fortunes of its director, producer and stars Hopper, Fonda and Nicholson in a changing Hollywood.

Hororové rande
Najhoršie rande v živote môže byť tým najdôležitejším.
Raphael je nevyliečiteľne chorý a má jediné želanie – ešte raz sa zaľúbiť. Zaregistruje sa na zoznamku pre ľudí v poslednej etape života, a keď spozná Nalu, zdá sa, že medzi nimi preskočí iskra. Lenže v deň ich prvého stretnutia sa Raphaelov stav prudko zhorší, a tak pošle na rande namiesto seba svojho najlepšieho priateľa Juliusa.
Julius je zdravý športovec a o pár dní sa žení, no napriek tomu súhlasí a ocitá sa v úlohe, na ktorú nie je pripravený. Zámena identít spustí sériu komických, trápnych i prekvapivo dojímavých situácií.
Hororové rande je príbehom o láske, priateľstve, strachu zo straty a o tom, ako nás blízkosť smrti núti klásť tie najdôležitejšie otázky. Sebastian Fitzek tentoraz namiesto napätia stavia na humore, empatii a prekvapivo veľkej dávke ľudskosti – a dokazuje, že vie rozprávať rovnako pútavo aj bez trilerových zvratov.
Radičová
Kto je Iveta Radičová, keď stojí mimo kamier a objektívov fotoaparátov? Kedy a prečo si postavila obranný múr a nasadila masku chladného odstupu i nekompromisnej tvrdosti? Kým je v skutočnosti žena, ktorú označili za „politickú mŕtvolu“ a ona v prezidentských prieskumoch porazila aj Roberta Fica? Prečo sa napriek tomu nestala prvou ženou na poste hlavy štátu a skončila vo vysokej politike? Čo považuje za rodinné striebro a kedy recituje Ferlinghettiho? Prečo sa nedokáže zastaviť, keď hovorí o deťoch a sociálnej politike?
To je iba niekoľko otázok, na ktoré hľadá odpoveď prvý beletrizovaný životopis Ivety Radičovej. Kniha RADIČOVÁ však nie je tradičnou biografiou mapujúcou príbeh prvej slovenskej premiérky a profesorky sociológie. Je to skôr osobný rozhovor Ivety Radičovej s Petrom Bárdym, ktorý nám ukazuje nielen jej silu a integritu, ale aj citlivosť a zraniteľnosť.
Šéfredaktor Aktuality.sk strávil s Ivetou Radičovou desiatky hodín v osobných rozhovoroch aj vášnivých diskusiách, aby prenikol za roky budovaný obranný múr. Nezaujímala ho „iba“ Radičová – premiérka, ktorá sa pokúsila zmeniť slovenskú politiku formovanú takmer výlučne mužmi.
Chcel vedieť, aké bolo jej detstvo a dospievanie v totalite aj rodinný život so Stanom Radičom a vyrovnávanie sa (nielen) s jeho náhlym odchodom. Ako prežívala 80. roky v znormalizovanom Československu, november 1989 i turbulentné roky budovania slovenskej demokracie. Prečo chcela hrať čistú hru nielen v živote, ale aj v politike. Ako sa popasovala s pádom vlády aj odchodom z vysokej politiky. Či by vedela byť populistkou ako Fico, ak by to znamenalo koniec „našich ľudí“ v politike?
„Ten môj život, ktorý bude na pár strán... To je zvláštny pocit. Polovicu z neho som prežila v totalite a polovicu v snahe pomôcť, aby tu bola sloboda. Nepoviem, že v slobode. Radšej zopakujem, že v snahe pomôcť, aby tu bola sloboda. Bohužiaľ, nie sú tri polovice, čo mi je veľmi ľúto, lebo by som tú tretiu ešte potrebovala. Ale nemám ju,“ priznáva ústredná postava 280-stranovej knihy RADIČOVÁ.
Žena, ktorá odmietala robiť politiku v štýle ja tebe, ty mne a verila v silu argumentov a rozumu. Aj za cenu demisie a odchodu z politickej scény, nie však z verejného života, v ktorom je dodnes prítomná. Lebo Iveta Radičová nedokáže mlčať – slobodu i autenticitu má zapísanú v DNA. So všetkými plusmi aj mínusmi, ktoré to so sebou prináša. Aj vďaka tomu prelomila slovenské tabu, že na úrade vlády môžu sedieť len alfasamci, chladnokrvní stratégovia či populistickí krikľúni. A začala kliesniť cestu, v ktorej mohla o dekádu neskôr úspešne pokračovať i Zuzana Čaputová.
Bonusom prvej biografie slovenskej premiérky sú fotografie zo súkromného archívu Ivety Radičovej, ktoré ilustrujú silné momenty z jej detstva, dospievania, manželstva, politického aj akademického života. O unikátnu grafickú podobu obálky a zalomenie vnútra sa postarali grafická dizajnérka a výtvarníčka Mikina Dimunová a grafik Pavel Kordoš. Autorom titulného portrétu je fotograf Branislav Wáclav.

Divoké temné pobrežie
Dominic Salt a jeho tri deti sú správcami Shearwateru – malého ostrova neďaleko Antarktídy, ktorý ukrýva najväčšiu banku semien na svete. Kedysi pulzujúce výskumné centrum je dnes pre stúpajúcu hladinu oceánov takmer opustené.
Počas najhoršej búrky, akú kedy ostrov zažil, vyplaví more na breh neznámu ženu. Volá sa Rowan. Je zranená, vyčerpaná a o svojej minulosti takmer nehovorí. Rodina Saltovcov ju postupne prijíma medzi seba a zdá sa, že by mohla byť tým, čo im v izolácii chýbalo.
Lenže Rowan skrýva dôvod, prečo sa na ostrov vydala. A keď objaví sabotované rádiové spojenie a čerstvo vykopaný hrob, pochopí, že tajomstvá nemá len ona. Ako sa búrky stupňujú a ostrov sa mení na pascu, všetci stoja pred rozhodnutím, či si navzájom dokážu dôverovať natoľko, aby ochránili nielen vzácne semená, ale aj jeden druhého.
Divoké temné pobrežie je podmanivý román o strate, dôvere a láske v čase klimatickej hrozby. Psychologicky napätý a lyricky krásny príbeh o neprijateľných voľbách, ktoré robíme, aby sme ochránili tých, ktorých milujeme, aj keď sa svet okolo nás pomaly rozpadá.
Odysea
Trója padla. Vojna sa skončila. No pre Odysea sa ten najťažší boj ešte len začína.
Itačský kráľ túži len po jedinom – vrátiť sa domov k vernej Penelope a synovi Telemachovi. Keď si však znepriatelí boha morí Poseidóna, jeho cesta domov sa zmení na desaťročnú púť plnú skúšok. Odyseus čelí kyklopom, sirénam, čarodejnici Kirké, príšernej Skylle i zvodnej Kalypsó. Každá zastávka preverí jeho odvahu, dôvtip aj charakter.
Stephen Fry v závere svojej úspešnej série o gréckych mýtoch prináša podmanivé, inteligentné a vtipné prerozprávanie jedného z najväčších príbehov všetkých čias. Ctí Homéra, no zároveň mu dáva moderný rytmus a nadhľad.
Odysea je veľkolepým rozprávaním o túžbe po domove, o láske a vytrvalosti – a o tom, čo v skutočnosti znamená byť hrdinom.
