Netradiční ovoce pro každou zahradu
Lee Reich do své knihy, kterou právě držíte v rukou, vybral dvě desítky užitkových dřevin. Některé z nich mají u nás tradici velmi bohatou – vždyť třeba mišpule, rybíz či dřín se pěstovaly už ve středověkých klášterních zahradách a teprve s rozvojem ovocnářského šlechtitelství byly vytlačeny jádrovinami a peckovinami. Je však nanejvýš pravděpodobné, že kdyby se před několika desetiletími nezvedla vlna zájmu o zahradničení v souladu s přírodou a zájem o původní keře a stromy, možná bychom na některé druhy představené v této knize úplně zapomněli. Vždyť kdo z nás někdy viděl v české zahradě třeba moruši či muchovník? Je tu ale také druhá skupina užitkových dřevin, neznámých či přinejlepším pouze povědomých i zkušenému českému sadaři. Co si asi představit pod názvy hrozinkový strom, banán severu nebo čínská datle? Možná o nic víc než pod jejich českými jmény – dužistopka, muďoul a cicimek.

The Right and Wrong Stuff
Nearly a quarter century ago Carter Cast seemed to have it all together: he had a first-class education, an all-American athletic career, and was a very bright and energetic rising star on the fast track at a Fortune 100 company, PepsiCo. But blissfully unaware of how negative perceptions were shaped, he was stunned when called into his boss's office, and told he was "unpromotable" because he was "obstinate," "resistant," and "insubordinate."
Baffled, scared, and embarrassed, that defining moment led to Cast's years-long effort to try to understand why he came so close to going off track, discovering that what he saw as idiosyncratic was actually widespread. His research shows that 98 percent of people have at least one derailment risk factor and that half to two-thirds actually go off the rails. More often than not, people get fired, demoted, or plateau not because they lack the "right stuff," but because they let the "wrong stuff" act out. Derailment often afflicts talented people who are either unaware of a debilitating weakness or an interpersonal blind spot, or are arrogant enough to believe that feedback doesn't apply to them.
Cast's experiences and research led to five defining archetypes--Captain Fantastic, the One-Trick Pony, the Solo Flyer, Version 1.0, and the Whirling Dervish--that express traits that cut across gender and every level of seniority and that play out everywhere, from big corporations to small law firms, from education institutions to raw start-ups. He shows how these archetypes fail and succeed, and how to recognize blind spots that can lead to downfall. He provides ways to improve self-understanding--digging into topics like values, needs, and motives--and provides the reader with new ways to take charge of his or her career.

Paris - Roman einer Stadt
Der Meister des Monumental-Epos entdeckt Paris neu Von der Gründung in der Antike bis zum 20. Jahrhundert zeichnet dieser Roman die Entwicklung von Paris anhand des Schicksals vierer Familien nach - farbenprächtig, detailgenau und reich an historisch bedeutenden Episoden. Die Niederschlagung der Pariser Kommune spielt dabei ebenso eine Rolle wie die Errichtung des Eiffelturms, der Leser bekommt Einblicke in das Napoleonische Zeitalter wie in die Zeit der deutschen Besatzung 1940. Edward Rutherfurd erzählt von sechs Familien, deren Schicksale sich über Jahrhunderte mit der großen Historie von Paris verweben Da sind die adligen Le Cygnes, deren monarchistisches Weltbild in der Französischen Revolution ins Schwanken gerät und die im 20. Jahrhundert die Résistance unterstützen. Da sind die Brüder Thomas und Luc Gascon, die in den Hinterhöfen von Montmartre zu Hause sind und bei der Errichtung des Eiffelturms Glanz und Elend erleben. So unterschiedlich sie in ihrem Temperament sind, halten der ehrbare Handwerker (Thomas) und der Luftikus mit zweifelhaften Einnahmequellen (Luc) doch zusammen, bis sie als alte Männer, zur Zeit der deutschen Besatzung, zu Feinden wider Willen werden. Und schließlich sind da die Blanchards , die im Napoleonischen Zeitalter im Handel ihr Glück machten und später die großen Warenhäuser und Konsumtempel der Stadt leiten. Aber auch Kunsthändler (Jacob), Kurtisanen (Louise) und eine Familie (Le Sourd), die immer auf Seiten der Revolutionäre mitwirkte, spielen eine tragende Rolle in diesem gewaltigen Epos.
Schizophrenia
Kraepelin, who in 1896 first defined the disorder now known as schizophrenia, appreciated that there were many difficulties with the concept, and believed that, since the cause of the disorder was essentially unknown, there could be no rational treatment. This authoritative 1999 text provides a wide-ranging survey of the disorder, including an extensive account of what was known about the underlying biology. The main part of the book covers clinical aspects, including differential and dual diagnosis, and treatment and management problems, particularly in relation to care in the community. Topics covered include brain imaging, genetics, pharmacology and neuropsychology, as well as chapters on health economics and forensic issues. The authors have extensive clinical experience with schizophrenia patients, and this book, which is unusual in its breadth and its concern for social and community issues, will be a valuable reference for all psychiatrists, and other health professionals involved in the management of schizophrenia.
Raising Steam
To the consternation of the patrician, Lord Vetinari, a new invention has arrived in Ankh-Morpork - a great clanging monster of a machine that harnesses the power of all of the elements: earth, air, fire and water. This being Ankh-Morpork, it's soon drawing astonished crowds, some of whom caught the zeitgeist early and arrive armed with notepads and very sensible rainwear. Moist von Lipwig is not a man who enjoys hard work - as master of the Post Office, the Mint and the Royal Bank his input is, of course, vital...but largely dependent on words, which are fortunately not very heavy and don't always need greasing. However, he does enjoy being alive, which makes a new job offer from Vetinari hard to refuse...Steam is rising over Discworld, driven by Mister Simnel, the man wi' t'flat cap and sliding rule who has an interesting arrangement with the sine and cosine. Moist will have to grapple with gallons of grease, goblins, a fat controller with a history of throwing employees down the stairs and some very angry dwarfs if he's going to stop it all going off the rails...
