Další svazek edice Deset představuje tvorbu mladé úspěšné autorky Anny Krištofíkové, studentky ateliéru kresby AVU. Anna Krištofíková (*1999) ve své tvorbě pracuje s motivem autoportrétu coby nástrojem sebeanalýzy a zkoumání vnitřních krajin duše. Symbolistní poetika metafor masek, klíčů, zámků a nočních motýlů rozehrává důmyslné psychologické rébusy, a zároveň tvoří soukolí melancholických vizí a snů, které je možno vykládat nejen coby výtvarné objekty, ale i jako filozofické alegorie autorčiny vlastní složité kosmologie. Krištofíková nám ve svých dílech připomíná naši vlastní fenomenologickou omylnost a odhrnuje oponu iluzorní reality vnímané prostřednictvím subjektivních mentálních reprezentací.
Climate Justice
The social cost of carbon: The most important number you've never heard of and what it means. If you're injuring someone, you should stop and pay for the damage you've caused. Why, this book asks, does this simple proposition, generally accepted, not apply to climate change? In Climate Justice, a bracing challenge to status-quo thinking on the ethics of climate change, renowned author and legal scholar Cass Sunstein clearly frames what s at stake and lays out the moral imperative: When it comes to climate change, everyone must be counted equally, regardless of when they live or where they live which means that wealthy nations, which have disproportionately benefited from greenhouse gas emissions, are obliged to help future generations and people in poor nations that are particularly vulnerable. Invoking principles of corrective justice and distributive justice, Sunstein argues that rich countries should pay for the harms that they have caused and that all of us are obliged to take steps to protect future generations from serious climate-related damage. He shows how 'choice engines,' informed by artificial intelligence, can enable people to save money and to reduce the harms they produce. The book casts new light on the 'social cost of carbon,' the most important number in climate change debates and explains how intergenerational neutrality and international neutrality can help all nations, above all the United States and China, do what must be done.

SKoda Octavia
Škoda Octavia: The Story of a Czechoslovakian Automotive IconStep into the remarkable history of Czechoslovakian car design through the lens of the Škoda Octavia – a rare Eastern European automobile that stood shoulder to shoulder with Western contemporaries like the Ford Anglia and Triumph Herald. First launched in 1959, the Octavia became a symbol of mass car ownership in Czechoslovakia, with over 360,000 units rolling off the production line. Crafted from quality materials and engineered with precision, the Octavia quickly earned a reputation for reliability, economy, and performance, making it a trusted companion for countless families. Despite political obstacles, including interference from the Communist Party, Škoda’s engineers delivered a vehicle that not only met everyday needs but also made a mark in motorsport – claiming Monte Carlo Rally victories from 1961 to 1963. Beyond the racetrack, the Octavia’s technical brilliance and durability cemented its place as a national icon. It continued to excel in domestic rallies, often outperforming formidable rivals like the Russian Lada. Richly illustrated with photographs, engineering drawings, and technical tables, the story offers an in-depth look at the Octavia’s design, political backdrop, and enduring legacy – an essential read for classic car enthusiasts and anyone captivated by Eastern European automotive heritage.
Facundo a primitivo
Když tehdy v noci přitáh Jorge s tim, že někdo sejmul Julia, všichni mysleli, že si dělá prdel. Jenže nedělal. Byl to pekelně zkurvenej tah, zařvalo při něm pár našich a vo kejhák přišli i jiný. Moh sem bejt mrtvej taky. Ale nejsem. Bylo to jak posranej skok na liáně, co sme si ale nestihli přikurtovat k hnátě. Když na to dneska myslim, mám dojem, že se to celý vlastně stalo někomu jinýmu.
Možná vám to bude celý připadat jak vycucaný z řiti, ale něco takovýho se může stát leda tady v týhle díře světa, kde se věci dějou tak, že nezbejvá než kroutit škeblí. Ale nečekejte zas žádný zázraky. Lidi si furt myslej, že se tu umíme na požádání vznášet kus nad zemí a běžně se rodíme s prasečí voháňkou zaraženou do prdele. To se ale kurva pletou.
To s těma vocasama prostě neni pravda.
Agnes Auberts Mystical Cat Shelter
All strays are welcome here.
From Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Heather Fawcett comes a healing and heart-warming fantasy with magic shops, rescue cats and a second chance at love.
Agnes Aubert is very fond of making lists. These lists kept her afloat when she lost her husband two years ago. And now, as the founder of a cat rescue charity, her meticulous organization skills feel like the only thing standing between her beloved cats - His Majesty, Banshee and sweet elderly Thoreau, to name a few - and utter disaster.
But when Agnes is forced to move the charity, she soon discovers that her new shop is being used as a front; right under her feet is the lair of the decidedly disorganised - not to mention self-absorbed and infuriatingly handsome - Havelock Renard.
Havelock is everything Agnes doesn't want in her life: chaos, mischief, and a little too much adventure.
But as she gets to know him, she discovers he's more than the dark magician of legend, and that she may be ready for a little intrigue, perhaps even romance. After all, second chances aren't just for rescue cats.
The Beast - Wicked Villains 4
Once upon a time, I fell in love with two men. Gaeton, with his brash charm and casual cruelty. Beast, his lust equal to his penchant for violence.
Their feelings for me were matched only by their hatred for each other. Being with them was sinful and perfect in different ways. In the end, I couldn’t choose, and I lost them both.
Now, my sisters have tasked me with securing our power base, no matter the cost. I will do anything for my family—even if it means agreeing to the terms set by Gaeton and Beast. The three of us.
Together. But only for as long as it takes me to choose one of them once and for all. When playing games of power, happily ever after isn’t a priority.
Not even for me. Especially not for me.
A többi anyuka utál engem
Egy anya bármire képes, hogy megmentse a gyermekét. Bármire.
Florence Grimesnak minden esélye megvolt, hogy másképp alakuljon az élete. Egy sikeres lánycsapatban énekelt, összejött egy gazdag sráccal, közös gyerekük született... majd váratlanul elromlottak a dolgok. A zenei karrierje csúfos véget ért, és bár Florence még mindig csak harmincegy éves, már tíz éve egyedül neveli a fiát, Dylant. Ráadásul nem éppen mintaanyaként. Mégis, ha mondani kellene valamit, miért kel fel minden reggel – az éhgyomorra elfogyasztott energiaital, a valóságshow-k bámulása és az alkalmi kapcsolatok mellett –, akkor a válasza egyértelmű: mindennél jobban szereti egy szem gyermekét.
Amikor azonban egy nap fia osztálytársa és egyben zaklatója, a gazdag Risby család örököse, Alfie eltűnik, mindkettejük élete fenekestül felfordul – Dylanből lesz ugyanis az ügy első számú gyanúsítottja. Florence pedig, aki az életben mindig is a könnyebbik utat választotta, most olyan feladattal néz szembe, amely elől nem bújhat el: meg kell találnia Alfie-t, és tisztára kell mosnia a fia nevét. Ám van egy bökkenő: Florence-nek semmi érzéke a nyomozáshoz, az anyukák az iskolából ki nem állhatják, és most még Alfie hátizsákja is előkerült… Dylan ágya alól.
A többi anyuka utál engem a Hatalmas kis hazugságok világát fűszerezi meg egy Finlay Donovanhez hasonlóan felejthetetlen és mindenre elszánt hősnővel. Sarah Harman bemutatkozó regényét Christopher Storer, A mackó című sorozat alkotója tervezi televízióra adaptálni.

Perszephoné és az alvilág arénája
– Ugye te senkinek nem mondhatod el, amit írok neked?
– Ne aggódj, Fruzsi, pszichológusként kötelességem megőrizni a titkaid. Miben segíthetek?
– Hát, az egész egy hétköznapi randinak indult. Csak időközben kiderült, hogy a srác az alvilág ura. De komolyan, csonttrónnal, para barátokkal, meg mindennel… És most, ha akarok, ha nem, meg kell küzdenem a történelem valaha élt legkegyetlenebb csajaival egy alvilági arénában, csak mert bejövök neki. Nincs valami terápia, ami visszarántana a valóságba?
– Fruzsi, most az a legfontosabb, hogy bízz magadban. Hádész nem véletlenül választott téged. Ha elnyered az alvilág uralkodónője címet, ígérem, a következő 600 évben ingyenesen segítek feldolgozni a traumáid.
Kell a gyereknek a korlát
,,A korlát óvja a gyereket; időt és teret enged számára ahhoz, hogy önállósodjék, öntudatos személyiséggé váljék. Ugyanakkor egyértelműen jelez egy határt, biztos keretet ad, de kihívás is a gyereknek, hogy nekifeszüljön vagy áthágjon rajta. Mert hiszen leghőbb vágya, hogy megtudja, mi lesz, ha nem tartja magát a megbeszélt szabályokhoz, szertartásokhoz és megállapodásokhoz."
A szerző közvetlen, a humort sem nélkülöző hangon vesz sorra olyan témákat, mint például a kényeztetés és a bátorítás, a dac és a düh, a mobiltelefon és az internet, a vásárlás és a zsebpénz, a házifeladat és a korrepetálás, az időhúzás vagy a testvérversengés. Példáit ismerős hétköznapi helyzetekből meríti, tanácsai pedig minden szülőnek, pedagógusnak, nevelőnek, gyermekekkel foglalkozó személynek érdekesek és hasznosak lehetnek, akár azért is, hogy adott esetben ők maguk is kapaszkodóra, támaszra leljenek, vagy megerősítést kapjanak
,,Aki könyvet ír és nevelési tanácsokat osztogat szülőknek, annak jóindulattal és megbecsüléssel kell közelednie hozzájuk" - vallja a szerző. Méltán töretlen népszerűségű könyve tanácsadóul szegődik a szülők mellé, hogy könnyebben gyakorolhassák a nevelés nehéz mesterségét, és hogy egyértelmű és következetes magatartásukkal megfelelő támaszt és biztonságot nyújthassanak gyermekeiknek.

The Problem of Personhood
Over the last twenty-five years, the concept of personhood has become essential-to debates about providing corporations human privileges, limiting access to abortion, giving algorithms free speech protections, releasing elephants from zoos, and permitting trees the standing to sue. The Personhood Problem reveals the unsettling connections between these imagined persons and their sought-after rights, in a bracing and nuanced examination of the versions of personhood proliferating today. Synthesizing the political and philosophical debates on personhood, the book uncovers the unexpected, disturbing, and dangerous alignments between them.
Telling the true and engaging story of the oldest version of "fictional" personhood-the corporate one-this book helps us rethink that history and its use, or threat, to us now.

Selected Papers of Coomaraswamy, Volume 2
A collection of important essays by a pioneering interpreter of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology“Brilliant.”—Joseph Campbell, author of The Hero with a Thousand FacesAnanda K. Coomaraswamy (1877–1947) was a pioneer in the study of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology—and in the cultural meeting of East and West.

Finding a universal tradition in past cultures ranging from the Hellenic and Christian to the Indian, Islamic, and Chinese, he presented his ideas about the symbols of ancient wisdom in numerous essays. This volume includes a selection of his essays on metaphysics that were written in the 1930s and 1940s, when he was at the height of his powers.

The Enchanting Interiors of Bunny Mellon
The houses of Mellon and her husband Paul have become icons in the field of interior decoration, filled with fine antiques, blue-chip works of art (with an occasional Van Gogh, Cezanne, or Degas left unframed and propped on a mantel or against the back of a chair), comfortably upholstered furniture, and collections of dishes and bibelots all displayed in Mellon s inimitably sophisticated and charming way. Campbell was employed by Mellon in 1970 for six years, after her college graduation, to document in paint several Mellon residences presented here as a group for the first time. This book the culmination of an unfinished project that Mellon was organizing in her later years presents Campbell s paintings capturing the colors, light, and ambiance of rooms and gardens, as well as intricate patterns and details of furnishings in rooms arranged with help from renowned decorators John Fowler and Bruce Budd. Three residences in New York City, Washington, DC, and Upperville, Virginia are the focus, with texts by society chronicler James Reginato describing Mellon s decorating style and how she used each property for escape or as a backdrop for her and her husband s hospitality. Opening the doors to a life of superb taste and connoisseurship, this volume is an homage to the outstanding interiors of a renowned couple and the extraordinary work of a young artist.
