Citový život zvířat
Starostlivě pečující veverky, věrně milující krkavci, soucitné myšky a truchlící laně - také si tyto city spojujete jen s lidmi? Peter Wohlleben, lesník a autor bestsellerů, člověk s vášnivým zaujetím pro přírodu, čtenáře opět přivádí v úžas, tentokrát nad netušeně bohatým emočním světem zvířat. V této knize nám Peter Wohlleben zprostředkovává nejnovější vědecké poznatky a prokládá je poutavými příběhy a vlastními prožitky. Dozvídáme se tak velice čtivou formou o dosud málo prozkoumaných, avšak nanejvýš rozmanitých citech a chování lesních i domácích zvířat. A tu si rázem uvědomíme, že zvířata jsou nám mnohem blíž, než jsme kdy tušili. Fascinující, poučné a místy až neuvěřitelné! Peter Wohlleben (nar. 1964) se chtěl už jako dítě stát ochráncem přírody. Vystudoval lesnictví a pracoval víc než dvacet let jako úředník zemské lesní správy. Aby mohl realizovat své představy o ochraně životního prostředí, zaměstnání opustil. Dnes řídí ekologické lesní hospodářství v regionu Eifel v Porýní, kde usiluje o návrat pralesů. Je zván do mnoha televizních pořadů, přednáší, pořádá semináře a píše knihy o lese a ochraně přírody. Je autor bestselleru Tajný život stromů.

The Ex Talk
Shay Goldstein has worked at her Seattle radio station for nearly a decade. But lately she's been clashing with her new colleague, Dominic Yun - who's fresh off a journalism course and convinced he knows everything about radio.
When the station needs a new concept, Shay proposes 'The Ex Talk', where two exes give relationship advice live on air. Each armed with their own disastrous relationship stories, Shay and Dominic are the perfect co-hosts - even if it does come with a little tension...
Their spiky dynamic is an instant hit, and soon 'The Ex Talk' is climbing the charts. But when Shay and Dominic start to fall for each other, is this the start of something amazing... or the end of their careers?
Infinity Drive
To overcome intolerance, she'll have to stay true to her history-and her heart. Brittany spends her days fearing arrest from the humanz and the IMPACT police force for something that seems like it shouldn't matter: she's too tall. On Sympia, something like that is enough to get a person in deep trouble. When one day the IMPACT surrounds her building, Brittany's only hope is to escape with another Sympian species, the spherical little silfs. But there is another reason the IMPACT wants to capture Brittany: She is the carrier of a transmitting device that emits a signal to her human ancestor Alessandra McLean, captain of the galactic cruiser Strabo. As Brittany and her small crew of outcasts escape to space aboard the Strabo, guided by the holographic memory of Alessandra, they discover that beyond the stars, an even greater enemy lurks.

The Camel's Back
Originally published in the "Saturday Evening Post" in 1920, this story was first published in book form in Tales of the Jazz Age in 1922."I suppose that of all the stories I have ever written this one cost me the least travail and perhaps gave me the most amusement. As to the labor involved, it was written during one day in the city of New Orleans, with the express purpose of buying a platinum and diamond wrist watch which cost six hundred dollars. I began it at seven in the morning and finished it at two o'clock the same night. It was published in the "Saturday Evening Post" in 1920, and later included in the O. Henry Memorial Collection for the same year. I like it least of all the stories in this volume.My amusement was derived from the fact that the camel part of the story is literally true; in fact, I have a standing engagement with the gentleman involved to attend the next fancy-dress party to which we are mutually invited, attired as the latter part of the camel—this as a sort of atonement for being his historian."

Blue Öyster Cult - Essential Blue Öyster Cult 2CD
Blue Öyster Cult je americká rocková skupina, ktorá vznikla na Long Islande v Stony Brook, New York, v roku 1967. Napriek vášnivému úmyslu kapely vyhýbať sa popovému svetu , sú stále všeobecne známi svojimi hitovými singlami "(D't Fear) The Reaper", "Burnin' for You" a "Godzilla", skupina predala 25 miliónov nahrávok po celom svete, vrátane 7 miliónov v Spojených štátoch. Inovatívna fúzia hard rocku s psychedéliou, 2. svetovou vojnou, okultizmom, fantastickým rozprávaním príbehov a zámerne zatracovanými textami mala veľký vplyv na heavy metalovú hudbu.Napriek, alebo možno práve preto, ich motívu vyhnúť sa banalite a nástrahám komerčného úspechu, skupina si vybudovala kult a jej najobľúbenejšie piesne zostávajú klasickými rockovými rádiami.

Treasure of the Brasada
Being caught, bloody gun in hand, leaning over the body of the man he had threatened to kill forces bronc-buster Glenn Crawford to turn up at the Big O ranch, a weary, footsore fugitive with more than one score to settle.Even the murder of the ranch owner in San Antonio had not prepared Crawford for the state of affairs he finds at the ranch. His sudden presence there seems to scare some of the crew half to death and lead others to try to kill him every chance they get.
For the moment, however, Crawford is more interested in the state of affairs in his own body than in those of the Big O and the murderer he is sure the ranch harbors. A veteran of the saddle, Crawford discovers that since an accident which he suspects was planned, he goes into a frenzy of pain and trembling panic whenever he gets near a horse. But in spite of the torture it costs him, Crawford stays on at the ranch. He knows he cannot be a free man until he finds the murderer of Otis Rockland. Nor can he be a whole man until he conquers the black devil of a killer horse, Africano. After he meets Merida Lopez, an exotic beauty whose presence at the Big O is surrounded by mystery, he has a third motive for staying around, although he stands to lose his reason if not his life.
Trapped by forces which he cannot understand, and half-crazed by the torturing pain and panic which he tries desperately both to overcome and to hide, Crawford gets himself more and more hopelessly entangled in what, as old Delcazar points out, looks like the most dangerous thing that ever hit the wild brush country. Crawford is offered a strange proposition by sinister Dr. Huerta; he listens to Merida's spellbinding tale of Santa Anna's chests—and as he listens, the jagged third of a map he possesses, plus a dying man's painfully gasped out words, take on a new and important meaning; he waits, trapped, weaponless, for a killer to come nearer, nearer—And he delivers to his other pursuers the body of one sent out to kill him—only to become more deeply enmeshed in new and still more terrifying trouble. Crawford's irritation at being stirred by Merida, whom he alternately respects and suspects of playing him for a fool, doesn't prevent him from riding secretly with her in the night in search of a place so malicious few men have ever stepped foot in it. Nor does it later prevent him from risking an agonizing death to follow her into it.
Before the true murderer reveals himself, and before Crawford can again call himself a whole man, much violent action takes place. Set against the exciting background of the untamed Texas border country, this is a thrilling brew of suspense, quick death, adventure, and love.

The Luckiest Guy Alive
The Luckiest Guy Alive is the first new book of poetry from Dr John Cooper Clarke for several decades - and a brilliant, scabrous, hilarious collection from one of our most beloved and influential writers and performers. From the 'Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman' to a hymn to the seductive properties of the pie - by way of hand-grenade haikus, machine-gun ballads and a meditation on the loss of Bono's leather pants - The Luckiest Guy Alive collects stunning set pieces and tried-and-tested audience favourites to show Cooper Clarke still effortlessly at the top of his game.
Cooper Clarke's status as the 'Emperor of Punk Poetry' is certainly confirmed here, but so is his reputation as a brilliant versifier, a poet of vicious wit and a razor-sharp social satirist. Effortlessly immediate and contemporary, full of hard-won wisdom and expert blindsidings, it's easy to see why the good Doctor has continued to inspire several new generations of performers from Alex Turner to Plan B: The Luckiest Guy Alive shows one of the most compelling poets of the age on truly exceptional form.
Bojová pieseň tigrej matky
Mal to byť príbeh o tom, že čínski rodičia vedia deti vychovať lepšie ako západní rodičia, miestami sa však veci vymkli z rúk. Táto publikácia, podľa mnohých recenzentov najkontroverznejšia kniha roku, sa trávi veľmi ťažko, hlavne ak ste sami rodičmi. Kladie otázky, či pre svoje deti naozaj robíme to najlepšie, alebo sa pokúšame dostať cez celé rodičovské dobrodružstvo tak bezbolestne a ľahko, ako sa len dá.
Amy je matkou prísnou až do úplných extrémov. Jej deti sa nehrajú s inými deťmi, nemajú možnosť si vybrať svoje vlastné záľuby a nemajú dovolené za žiadnych okolností pozerať televízor. Svoje detstvo, priamo v krajine amerického sna, trávia študovaním mandarínskeho jazyka, vysokoškolskej matematiky a dlhými hodinami cvičenia na hudobnom nástroji – cvičenia tak tvrdého a nekompromisného, že jej staršia dcéra obhrýza drevené rohy klavíra a jej mladšia dcéra chce radšej zmrznúť v záhrade ako precvičovať čo i len ďalšiu minútu.
Hoci sa to na prvý pohľad nezdá, Amy nekonečne miluje obe svoje dcéry, je im plne oddaná a chce pre nich to absolútne najlepšie – pretože chcieť pre vaše dieťa, aby dosiahlo čo najviac, je základom výchovy každej „čínskej“ matky.
RECENZIE:
„Dych vyrážajúce osobné svedectvo… Príbeh rovnako presvedčivý ako dobrý thriller.”
– Financial Times
„Nielen že zasahuje rodičovstvo na jeho najcitlivejšom mieste, ale hovorí o pocitoch neistoty, ambíciách, vysokej kultúre, vzdelaní, postavení žien, ako aj silnejúcom vplyve Číny na úkor Ameriky. Autorkine presvedčenie, že tvrdá práca vedie k vnútornej sebaistote, nám určite má čo povedať.”
– Chicago Tribune

Krvavý august 1968 - 1968 Véres augusztusa - Krvavý Srpen 1968
"Örök időkre a szovjetek nélkül és soha másképp!" címmel írta meg emlékeit Szinay Árpád három nyelven. Szlovákul, csehül és magyarul. Miro Procházka akkori versével indít, mely még úgy vélte, mint annyian mindmáig, hogy 1945-ben a Vörös Hadsereg felszabadítóként érkezett. Szinay Árpád 1968 névtelen hőse, áldozata, résztvevője lett egy személyben. Egy végzetes estén pisztolygolyó fúrta át a mellét. Majdnem életével fizetett érte. Hogyan történt, azt maga meséli el rá jellemző stílusban. Szándéka ellenére - ahogy a legtöbb résztvevő esetében - a történelmi eseményeknek nemcsak tanúja, hanem részese lett. Nagyon kevesen akarnak áldozatok lenni. Ez csak természetes. A helyzet keresi meg az embert, vagy ő hívja ki a sorsot?
Szinay Árpád saját, személyes történetét írta meg. Ezt helyette senki más nem teheti, hiszen ezt csak ő jegyezheti le. Ez a kötelessége. Ez az ő történelmi felelőssége. Külön érdeme ennek az írásnak, hogy nem szépít, nem igyekszik az utólagos történelmi távlat szempontjából rendezni a történetet. Szinte vele együtt megyünk az utcán, ülünk le a szállodában a ,,végzetet nyújtó" asztalhoz. Ez a történet azonban nemcsak az övé. Mindannyiunké, hiszen ami vele történt, az történelem. Meg nem történtté tenni még akkor sem lehet, ha nem szerzünk róla tudomást. Ám most már olvashatjuk! Ez is része az akkori valóságnak, ez a történelem egy kis, ám nem elhanyagolható szelete.

From Bad to Cursed
Wild child Isidora Avramov is a thrill chaser, adept demon summoner, and-despite the whole sexy-evil-sorceress vibe-also a cuddly animal lover. When she's not designing costumes and new storylines for the Arcane Emporium's haunted house, Issa's nursing a secret, conflicted dream of ditching her family's witchy business to become an indie fashion designer in her own right.
But when someone starts sabotaging the celebrations leading up to this year's Beltane festival with dark, dangerous magic, a member of the rival Thorn family gets badly hurt-throwing immediate suspicion on the Avramovs. To clear the Avramov name and step up for her family when they need her the most, Issa agrees to serve as a co-investigator, helping none other than Rowan Thorn get to the bottom of things.
Rowan is the very definition of lawful good, so tragically noble and by-the-book he makes Issa's teeth hurt. In accordance with their families' complicated history, he and Issa have been archenemies for years and have grown to heartily loathe each other. But as the unlikely duo follow a perplexing trail of clues to a stunning conclusion, Issa and Rowan discover how little they really know each other... and stumble upon a maddening attraction that becomes harder to ignore by the day.
