The Doors of Eden
They thought we were safe. They were wrong.
Lee and Mal went looking for monsters on Bodmin Moor four years ago, and only Lee came back. She thought she'd lost Mal forever, now miraculously returned. But what happened that day on the moors? And where has Mal been all this time? Mal's reappearance hasn't gone unnoticed by MI5 either, and their officers also have questions.
Julian Sabreur is investigating an attack on top physicist Kay Amal Khan. This leads Julian to clash with agents of an unknown power - and they may or may not be human. His only clue is grainy footage, showing a woman who supposedly died on Bodmin Moor.
Dr Khan's research was theoretical; then she found cracks between our world and parallel Earths. Now these cracks are widening, revealing extraordinary creatures. And as the doors come crashing open, anything could come through.
'Inventive, funny and engrossing, this book lingers long after you close it' - Tade Thompson, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Rosewater
Adrian Tchaikovsky brought us far-future adventure with Children of Time. Now The Doors of Eden takes us from Bodmin Moor to London and alternate versions of earth. This is an extraordinary feat of the imagination and a page-turning adventure.
Nikdy nedělej kompromis
Když jde o lidský život, nelze dělat kompromisy. To se naučil Chris Voss, bývalý hlavní vyjednavač u FBI. Přes svůj nekompromisní název jde o knížku nesmírně užitečnou pro nás všechny, kteří potřebujeme vyjednat třeba lepší obchodní podmínky, vyšší plat nebo přesvědčit své děti. Kniha je přímo nabita kontraintuitivními technikami, které jsou ilustrované napínavými příběhy z Vossovy kariéry. Je to paradox, ale přes tvrdý slogan není tato kniha návodem, jak z druhého při jednání sedřít kůži. Ve skutečnosti vás seznámí s nejnovějšími vyjednávacími postupy, s nimiž při zachování fair-play dosáhnete při jednání maxima.
Život přináší různá vyjednávání, na něž bychom měli být připraveni: nákup auta, pořízení domu, sjednání zakázky, platu, nájmu či podmínek akvizice, smlouvání s partnerem, dětmi… Dnes již klasické knihy jako Getting to Yes nebo Crucial Conversations navždy obohatily arzenál všech vyjednávačů. Přesto se některé metody v praxi ukázaly jako neefektivní a volají po aktualizaci.
Bývalý hlavní vyjednavač FBI s únosci Chris Voss přináší nový, v terénu tvrdě vyzkoušený a nejnovější neurovědou podpořený vhled. Začínal jako řadový policajt a postupně se vypracoval až do pozice, kdy sám vedl jednání s největšími zločinci, únosci, vrahy a teroristy. Stal se špičkovým specialistou na vyjednávání, v nichž jde o hodně: o lidský život. V takových jednáních nelze dělat kompromisy.
Vossův přístup vycházející z dlouholeté praxe jeho jednotky i ze souvisejících výzkumů, na kterých se v FBI roky pracovalo v reakci na neefektivitu starých metod. Sice neboří předchozí školy, ale navazuje na ně, rozvíjí je a v mnoha ohledech je překonává. Věděli jste, že to byla právě FBI, která v jednáních aktivně začala pracovat s emocemi? Do té doby se na Harvardu a dalších předních školách vyučoval přístup vycházející z domněnky, že obě strany jednají převážně na základě racionálních pohnutek.
Voss po 25 letech FBI opustil a v další práci se zaměřil na extrémně náročná vyjednávání v byznyse. Stal se vyhledávaným špičkovým konzultantem, který dnes v rámci své agentury Black Swan Group asistuje u náročných obchodních jednání firem z žebříčku Fortune 500 a o vyjednávání také přednáší např. na Harvardu, MIT a mnoha dalších prestižních školách.
Jeho kniha je souhrnem poznatků nabytých v obou sférách a je významným, praktickým a nesmírně čtivým příspěvkem k tématu, které se týká našich osobních i pracovních životů.

The Way of Nagomi
*Find out how to live a more harmonious life thanks to NAGOMI, the ancient Japanese philosophy that helps you find balance and peace in everything you do*
There is no translation for the word nagomi in the English language, and yet it at the very heart of the Japanese way of life. A popular and common concept in Japan, to achieve nagomi is to have peace of mind, emotional balance and wellbeing, ranging from the way food is prepared (mixing sweet, salt, sour, bitter and umami) to the way the ephemerality of the cherry blossom season is celebrated.
Global bestselling author Ken Mogi illustrates why it's important to value both the positive and negative experiences in life so that you can truly find a balance and live more harmoniously. In The Way of Nagomi, Ken explains how to apply nagomi to every aspect of life so you can:
- Maintain happy relationships with loved ones, even if you disagree with them
- Learn new things while always staying true to yourself
- Find a sense of peace in whatever you are doing
- Mix and blend unlikely components to strike a harmonious balance
- Have a greater understanding of the Japanese philosophy of life
By delving into Japan's history, traditions and culture and providing a toolkit to help us to achieve satisfaction in our lives, Ken shows how we can all create nagomi in our lives and enjoy the benefits of a more peaceful and satisfactory life.
Ariadne
'Here, Ariadne takes centre stage in a lyrical, insightful re-telling that explores her motivations and emotions and the grievances caused by grumpy, cold-hearted gods and warm-blooded men, who are equally vengeful and self-interested - Daily Mail
'The story is well known, of course, but Saint tells it skilfully and, like Miller and Haynes, gives a twist to familiar myth by offering the perspective of women characters' - The Sunday Times
As Princesses of Crete and daughters of the fearsome King Minos, Ariadne and her sister Phaedra grow up hearing the hoofbeats and bellows of the Minotaur echo from the Labyrinth beneath the palace. The Minotaur - Minos's greatest shame and Ariadne's brother - demands blood every year.
When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives in Crete as a sacrifice to the beast, Ariadne falls in love with him. But helping Theseus kill the monster means betraying her family and country, and Ariadne knows only too well that in a world ruled by mercurial gods - drawing their attention can cost you everything.
In a world where women are nothing more than the pawns of powerful men, will Ariadne's decision to betray Crete for Theseus ensure her happy ending? Or will she find herself sacrificed for her lover's ambition?
ARIADNE gives a voice to the forgotten women of one of the most famous Greek myths, and speaks to their strength in the face of angry, petulant Gods. Beautifully written and completely immersive, this is an exceptional debut novel.

The Call of Cthulhu
"The Call of Cthulhu" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's best-known short stories. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird Tales, February 1928. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance.It is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far."

Nudging towards Health
Behavioral economics sees “nudges” as ways to encourage people to re-evaluate their priorities in such a way that they voluntarily change their behavior, leading to personal and social benefits. This book examines nudging as a tool for influencing human behavior in health policy. The authors investigate the contemporary scientific discourse on nudging and enrich it with an ontological, epistemological and praxeological analysis of human behavior. On the basis of detailed analyses of the literature and a systemic review, nudging tools are defined in the paradigm of prospect theory. In addition to the theoretical contribution, the book also examines and offers suggestions on the practice of health policy regarding obesity, malnutrition, and especially type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Living Planet
A new, fully updated narrative edition of David Attenborough's seminal biography of our world, The Living Planet.
Nowhere on our planet is devoid of life. Plants and animals thrive or survive within every extreme of climate and habitat that it offers. Single species, and often whole communities adapt to make the most of ice cap and tundra, forest and plain, desert, ocean and volcano. These adaptations can be truly extraordinary: fish that walk or lay eggs on leaves in mid-air; snakes that fly; flightless birds that graze like deer; and bears that grow hair on the soles of their feet.
In The Living Planet, David Attenborough's searching eye, unfailing curiosity and infectious enthusiasm explain and illuminate the intricate lives of the these colonies, from the lonely heights of the Himalayas to the wild creatures that have established themselves in the most recent of environments, the city. By the end of this book it is difficult to say which is the more astonishing - the ingenuity with which individual species contrive a living, or the complexity of their interdependence on each other and on the habitations provided by our planet.
In this new edition, the author, with the help of zoologist Matthew Cobb, has added all the most up-to-date discoveries of ecology and biology, as well as a full-colour 64-page photography section. He also addresses the urgent issues facing our living planet: climate change, pollution and mass extinction of species.

The Lost Planet of Enki
This book penetrates the ancient UFO evidence that has successfully been collected and tied to the Sumerian tablets of Mesopotamia and the ancestral bloodline of Jesus Christ. The author believes that modern unidentified flying objects, the story of creation of the Book of Genesis, the life of Jesus, and the ancient off-earth aliens of time gone are not only related but that they must be the same phenomenon. Namely, the same quasi-eternal space humans interacting with Earth during different periods of its history.
The hypothesis of a real-life galactic empire, realistically dressed with the idea of ‘a Force’ and dominating this region of the Milky Way is introduced. The humans of Earth are in for a real shock when it becomes clear that we might eventually become members of a rebel alliance. Four galactic human species are recognized from Earth’s own records!
You are about to uncover the author’s 37-year research on the obscure origin, the current psychological condition, and the expected detrimental destiny of the humans of Earth.
But there is a dark side: If this book’s recommendations are largely ignored, the author predicts World War III by the year 2017. The Lost Planet of Enki derives from Bonilla’s Chronicles of Moon Earth, a special collection of alternative non-fiction titles dealing with the ancient Anunnaki (as never before portraited), Earth’s geo-biological evolution, and the author’s relentless attacks on the dangers of religious separatism.

Kill Or Be Killed
"What do you know about the ZOO?"
Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle
The former sergeant took in a deep breath, tilting his head as he looked at the man in front of him.
“Unofficially? It’s a military experiment gone bad, with all the pros and cons that come with it. No official word was shared, of course. This means that I don’t officially know the source of the damn jungle starting to cover the Sahara Desert nicknamed the Zoo comes from some goop that was found on a missile that may or may not have alien origins."He stopped his explanation a moment and eyed the Retired Colonel in front of him, "Remind me, what is the government’s official stance on aliens again?”
Anderson smirked, "The jury is still out on that one."
Jeremiah Johnson needs a job, and Retired Marine Colonel Anderson needs a man with Johnson's particular skills.
Fast.
It's either a match made in Heaven, or Hell. It all depends on which side of the gun you happen to be standing on.
The safe end, or the business end.
Inside the ZOO isn't the only place people are acting greedy. Doctor Courtney Monroe has taken control of her Dad's legacy - she just needs two men to help make it happen.
