The Murders at Fleat House
The sudden death of a pupil in Fleat House at St Stephen's - a small private boarding school in deepest Norfolk - is a shocking event that the headmaster is very keen to call a tragic accident.
But the local police cannot rule out foul play and the case prompts the return of high-flying Detective Inspector Jazmine 'Jazz' Hunter to the force. Jazz has her own private reasons for stepping away from her police career in London, and reluctantly agrees to front the investigation as a favour to her old boss.
Reunited with her loyal sergeant, she enters the closed world of the school, and as Jazz begins to probe the circumstances surrounding Charlie Cavendish's tragic death, events are soon to take another troubling turn.
Charlie is exposed as an arrogant bully, and those around him had both motive and opportunity to switch the drugs he took daily to control his epilepsy.
As staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of a young pupil and the death of an elderly classics master provide Jazz with important leads, but are destined to complicate the investigation further. As snow covers the landscape and another suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her personal demons . . .
Then, a particularly grim discovery at the school makes this the most challenging murder investigation of her career. Because Fleat House hides secrets darker than even Jazz could ever have imagined . . .

An Amiable Charlatan
"The thing happened so suddenly that I really had very little time to make up my mind what course to adopt under somewhat singular circumstances. I was seated at my favorite table against the wall on the right-hand side in Stephano’s restaurant, with a newspaper propped up before me, a glass of hock by my side, and a portion of the plat du jour, which happened to be chicken en casserole, on the plate in front of me.I was, in fact, halfway through dinner when, without a word of warning, a man who seemed to enter with a lightfooted speed that, considering his size, was almost incredible, drew a chair toward him and took the vacant place at my table. My glass of wine and my plate were moved with smooth and marvelous haste to his vicinity. Under cover of the tablecloth a packet— I could not tell what it contained— was thrust into my hand."

Parnassus On Wheels
Parnassus on Wheels is Morley's first novel, about a fictional traveling book-selling business. The original owner of the business, Roger Mifflin, sells it to 39-year-old Helen McGill, who is tired of taking care of her older brother, Andrew. Andrew is a former businessman turned farmer, turned author. As an author, he begins using the farm as his Muse rather than a livelihood. When Mifflin shows up with his traveling bookstore, Helen buys it--partly to prevent Andrew from buying it--and partly to treat herself to a long-overdue adventure of her own. The first of two novels to be written from a woman's perspective, as well as the prequel to a later novel (The Haunted Bookshop), Parnassus on Wheels was inspired by David Grayson's novel, The Friendly Road, and starts with an open letter to Grayson, taking him to task for not concerning himself (except in passing) with his sister's opinion of and reaction to his adventure.

Moskva-hranice
Dokumentární román Moskva-hranice narazil bezprostředně po svém vydání (1937) na dvojí neporozumění. Jeho styl záměrně překračoval hranice vytyčené pro tzv. vážnou literaturu tím, že přejímal prvky tzv. marginální literatury v míře tehdy neobvyklé. Toto nepochopení se dělo navíc v souladu s odsudky, které pramenily v politických zájmech komunistické strany. Nejznámějším se stal pro Weila zničující odsudek s názvem Pavlačový román a napsal jej na přímý pokyn Klementa Gottwalda Weilův blízký přítel Julius Fučík. Moskvu-hranici lze zjednodušeně označit za jednu z prvních kritik stalinismu. Plánované druhé vydání bylo roku 1969 zakázáno a kniha vyšla znovu až v roce 1991.

Pink Floyd - P.U.L.S.E. (Restored & Re-Edited) 2DVD
KDO: Pink Floyd jsou nepochybně jednou z nejzásadnějších skupin hudební historie. Jejich experimentální rocková muzika ovlivnila miliony posluchačů a inspirovala několik generací hudebníků. Vždy je zdobil progresivní přístup při hledání nových možností, kladli důraz na koncepční propojení zvuku s obrazem. Měli jedinečné nápady a pořádali originální výpravné koncerty. Od roku 1964, kdy vznikli, natočili čtrnáct studiových alb. Těžko hledat slavnější art-rockovou skupinu!
CO: Po vydání alba The Division Bell se skupina vydala na turné, které probíhalo od března do října roku 1994. V jeho samém závěru vznikl koncertní film, který následně vyšel pod názvem P.U.L.S.E. Kapela v londýnském svatostánku Earls Court, kde režisér David Mallet záznam pořídil, obměnila repertoár a do druhé části vystoupení zařadila všechny skladby z legendárního alba The Dark Side Of The Moon. Pro účely nové reedice byl film odborně upraven a reeditován z původních pásků, upraven byl i obal vytvořený pro DVD vydání v roce 2006. V nové verzi, která je poprvé k dispozici na Blu-ray disku, najde zájemce hudební videa, různé dokumenty, backstage záznamy, šedesátistránkový booklet a další memorabilie. Vybírat lze mezi dvěma variantami - 2xBD nebo 2xDVD.

Oh William!
The Pulitzer Prize-winning, Booker-longlisted, bestselling author returns to her beloved heroine Lucy Barton in a luminous novel about love, loss, and the family secrets that can erupt and bewilder us at any point in life
Lucy Barton is a successful writer living in New York, navigating the second half of her life as a recent widow and parent to two adult daughters. A surprise encounter leads her to reconnect with William, her first husband - and longtime, on-again-off-again friend and confidante. Recalling their college years, the birth of their daughters, the painful dissolution of their marriage, and the lives they built with other people, Strout weaves a portrait, stunning in its subtlety, of a tender, complex, decades-long partnership.
Oh William! captures the joy and sorrow of watching children grow up and start families of their own; of discovering family secrets, late in life, that alter everything we think we know about those closest to us; and the way people live and love, against all odds. At the heart of this story is the unforgettable, indomitable voice of Lucy Barton, who once again offers a profound, lasting reflection on the mystery of existence. 'This is the way of life,' Lucy says. 'The many things we do not know until it is too late.'

Lectures on Quantum Field Theory
The book covers the material of the two-semester course of quantum field theory that the author taught at the Charles University and Czech Technical University in Prague for more than two decades. In the individual chapters one may find the discussion of selected topics in relativistic quantum mechanics and relativistic quantum field theory; the dominant theme is quantum electrodynamics. The technique of Feynman diagrams is described in detail, as well as methods of regularization and renormalization, including some basic applications. The selection of the topics presented in the book is intended to provide the reader with technical skills necessary for a subsequent study of theoretical particle physics. The text contains a lot of detailed explicit calculations in the extent not quite common in other available sources and this corresponds to the contents of typical author’s lectures. The readership is supposed to consist primarily of the university students specialized in theoretical physics or nuclear and particle physics, but it may be useful for any scientifically-minded reader seriously interested in foundations of modern physics.
Text knihy pokrývá přednášky dvousemestrálního kursu kvantové teorie pole, které autor konal po více než dvě dekády pro studenty Matematicko-fyzikální fakulty UK a Fakulty jaderné a fyzikálně inženýrské ČVUT, specializované na teoretickou fyziku nebo částicovou a jadernou fyziku; pro tuto čtenářskou obec je také dílo primárně určeno. V jednotlivých kapitolách se rozebírají vybrané partie relativistické kvantové mechaniky a relativistické kvantové teorie pole, přičemž dominantním tématem je zejména kvantová elektrodynamika. Detailně se zde pojednává o technice Feynmanových diagramů, metodách regularizace a renormalizace a jejich některých základních aplikacích. Obsah knihy je koncipován tak, aby čtenář získal potřebné technické základy pro případné následné studium teorie elementárních částic. Text obsahuje řadu podrobných výpočtů v míře, která není zcela obvyklá v jiných dostupných zdrojích a odpovídá to stylu typických autorových přednášek.
Kniha byla vydána ve spolupráci s Nakladatelstvím Karolinum Univerzity Karlovy.
Nine Lives
Nine Lives is a thought-provoking story of lost love and new beginnings, by the number one bestseller Danielle Steel.
After a carefree childhood, Maggie Kelly came of age in the shadow of grief. Her father, a pilot, died when she was nine. Maggie saw her mother struggle to put their lives back together. As the family moved from one city to the next, her mother warned her about daredevil men and to avoid risk at all cost.
Following her mother's advice, and forgoing the magic of first love with a high-school boyfriend who she thought too wild, Maggie married a good, dependable man. Together they had a son and found happiness in a conventional suburban life - until tragedy struck again.
Now on her own, feeling a sense of adventure for the first time, Maggie decides to face her fears, setting off on a whirlwind trip from the US to Rome, Paris, London and Monaco. But when her travels reconnect her with the irresistible, thrill-seeking man she's spent thirty years trying to forget, Maggie is terrified that rushing into love and sharing his life may end in disaster. But while Maggie tries to outrun her fears and painful memories, fate will surprise her in the most astounding of ways, as she walks the tightrope between danger and courage, and between wisdom and love.
