On (Na velikosti nezáleží)
Román On s podtitulkem Na velikosti nezáleží je malá románová komedie o tom, že i s malou výbavou – ve formě postavy, majetku, mužství, charizma, smyslu pro humor, … – můžete zažít velkou životní párty. Román popisuje život v mnoha odstínech šedé, růžové a modré. Ukazuje, že život se nemusí skládat z položek vstát – vyčistit si zuby – jít do práce – vrátit se – uklidit – vyčistit si zuby – jít spát, ale že může být akční, vzrušující, nevšední, kouzelný… každý den, a to i jen s minimální dávkou kreativity.
Kniha si klade dvojjediný cíl: pobavit a inspirovat (ne zrovna v tomto pořadí). Inspirovat muže i ženy a formou příběhů jim ukázat, jak lze originálním způsobem získat ženu (nebo muže), jak rozdělat oheň vášně (a neuhořet), jak zvládnout dominantně submisivní vztah (a ovládnout mysl druhého). Oproti trilogii Padesát odstínů šedi/temnoty/svobody se román On zaměřuje na dalších devětačtyřicet odstínů sexuálního života, proto inspiraci v něm najdou začátečníci i pokročilí.
Lacná kniha Lights on Cotton Rock (-70%)

Worms Of the Earth
Bran Mak Morn, King of the Picts, vows revenge on the Roman governor Titus Sulla after witnessing the crucifixion of a fellow Pict. He seeks forbidden aid from the Worms of the Earth, a race of creatures who were once men but after generations of living underground have become monstrous and semi-reptilian. He secures their help after stealing a religious item of theirs from a barrow, trading it back in return for them delivering Sulla to him for a battle to the death. However, Sulla's mind is broken from his contact with the horrific Worms of the Earth and Bran Mak Morn slays him in mercy rather than vengeance, realising that some weapons are too foul to use, even against Rome.

Vágymágusok 1: Álruhában
Lehet barátság férfi és nő között?
Szépvölgyi Rianna egy eldugott völgy grófkisasszonya, aki bogaras atyjával és zenész ikeröccsével él. Rianna férfiruhában van, amikor balszerencséjére találkozik Ras parancsnokkal, aki a hazaérkező hírhedt Kartal hercegnek gyűjt katonákat. Riannát összecseréli az ikertestvérével, és magával viszi. Ha rájönnek, hogy Rianna lány, kiirthatják felségárulásért a családját.
Vajon sikerül visszacserélnie magát, mielőtt lelepleződik?
De mit tegyen addig a férfiasan vonzó Ras, a magát mutogató jóképű Mort és a vad Lidérc közelében, ha a mágiája csalogatja a férfiakat? Míg a hercegre várnak, valaki vadászni kezd a csapatra. Rianna nem számíthat másra, csak az eszére, és egy hajmeresztő szövetségesre,
miközben őket lesi a természet, ami hol a halálukat akarja, hol pedig illetlenül valami mást.
"...amikor reggelente álmosan felnézel a tornyokra vagy megcirógatod a falat, az ember azt kívánja, bárcsak ő lenne a kezed alatt."
Éld át izgalmas és mágikusan érzéki kalandjait!

To je on! O té, co si říkala Toyen
Audiokniha To je on! O té, co si říkala Toyen, autorkou je Milena Štráfeldová. To je on! – Tři slova, ze kterých možná vzniklo umělecké jméno surrealistické malířky Toyen. Jméno stejně záhadné, jako byla sama. Jako by za sebou stále zametala stopy. Svá svědectví tak o ní podali jiní. Malíř Jindřich Štyrský, se kterým vytvořila celoživotní uměleckou dvojici. Židovský básník Jindřich Heisler, kterého až do konce války skrývala ve své žižkovské garsonce, protože odmítl nastoupit do transportu.

Multilogues on the Now: O žlázách, membránách a dutinách
Prostřednictvím projektu Multilogues on the Now: O žlázách, membránách a dutinách se snažíme probádat terén bez binárního dělítka a zaměřit se na posthumanistické a více-než-lidské přístupy k subjektivitě, nenormativní tělesnosti a sexualitě. Svou pozornost upínáme na tekuté, nelineární, neuspořádané, poetické, nestabilní, děravé, parazitické, monstrózní a queer způsoby pobývání ve světě.
Tato publikace-objekt je výrazem našeho přání otevírat nová východiska: v těle a jeho niternosti, se vší jeho hloubkou a neprobádanými záhyby, stejně jako na širší rovině mikro- a makrosvěta. Tváří v tvář nynější globální pandemické krizi chceme nabídnout prostor pro společné soužití a pospolitost lidského a více-než-lidského. Cílem tohoto projektu je přetvořit a jinak koncipovat podmínky vedoucí k toxické mocenské dynamice a nadvládě tím, že upínáme naši pozornost na již existující či spekulativní myšlenky a praxe, které se zasazují o spravedlivější, horizontální a feministickou současnost.

Lore of the Land: Folklore & Wisdom from the Wild Earth
Unearth the secrets of our natural world with The Lore of the Land, a richly illustrated compendium of folklore and wisdom from the land, skies and seas.
From thundering rivers to shady groves, flickering marshes to lightless caves, and from snow-capped mountains to the depths of the ocean, discover the folklore of Earth's wildest places. Stories and spirits abound in these land- and seascapes, where traditional wisdom and mysterious magics have intertwined over centuries.
Each of the six chapters covers a different natural landscape, revealing the worldwide folklore surrounding Woodlands, Seas & Oceans, Wetlands, Mountains, Rivers & Streams and Hills & Caves. Beginning with tales from cultures spanning the globe, each chapter then dives into the legends of how these places were formed, their place in the human imagination and their natural and otherworldly denizens.
Learn how the forests hold up the sky in Maori tradition; how in Ireland, seaweed was once thought to predict the weather; and that the ancient Greeks believed Mount Etna housed the fiery forge of the gods. All this and more is accompanied by beautiful artwork based on real folklore, uncovering the secrets of our natural world as never before.
A treasury of fascinating tales and ancient wisdom, The Lore of the Land is sure to fire the imaginations of young nature-lovers, and delight anyone who has ever wondered whether there is more to our natural world than meets the eye.

Discourse on the Method
The Discourse on the Method is a philosophical and mathematical treatise published by René Descartes in 1637. Its full name is Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason, and Searching for Truth in the Sciences (French title: Discours de la méthode pour bien conduire sa raison, et chercher la verité dans les sciences). The Discourse on Method is best known as the source of the famous quotation "Je pense, donc je suis" ("I think, therefore I am"), which occurs in Part IV of the work. (The similar statement in Latin, Cogito ergo sum, is found in §7 of Principles of Philosophy.) In addition, in one of its appendices, La Géométrie, is contained Descartes' first introduction of the Cartesian coordinate system.The Discourse on the Method is one of the most influential works in the history of modern science. It is a method which gives a solid platform from which all modern natural sciences could evolve. In this work, Descartes tackles the problem of skepticism which had been revived from the ancients such as Sextus Empiricus by authors such as Al-Ghazali and Michel de Montaigne. Descartes modified it to account for a truth that he found to be incontrovertible. Descartes started his line of reasoning by doubting everything, so as to assess the world from a fresh perspective, clear of any preconceived notions.The book was originally published in Leiden in French, together with his works "Dioptrique, Météores et Géométrie". Later, it was translated into Latin and published in 1656 in Amsterdam.Together with Meditations on First Philosophy (Meditationes de Prima Philosophia), Principles of Philosophy (Principia philosophiae) and Rules for the Direction of the Mind (Regulae ad directionem ingenii), it forms the base of the Epistemology known as Cartesianism.

War on Peace
US foreign policy is undergoing a dire transformation, forever changing America's place in the world. Institutions of diplomacy and development are bleeding out after deep budget cuts; the diplomats who make America's deals and protect its citizens around the world are walking out in droves. Offices across the State Department sit empty, while abroad the military-industrial complex has assumed the work once undertaken by peacemakers. We're becoming a nation that shoots first and asks questions later.
In an astonishing journey from the corridors of power in Washington, DC, to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth-Afghanistan, Somalia, and North Korea among them-acclaimed investigative journalist Ronan Farrow illuminates one of the most consequential and poorly understood changes in American history. His firsthand experience as a former State Department official affords a personal look at some of the last standard bearers of traditional statecraft, including Richard Holbrooke, who made peace in Bosnia and died while trying to do so in Afghanistan.
Drawing on recently unearthed documents, and richly informed by rare interviews with whistle-blowers, a warlord, and policymakers-including every living former secretary of state from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton to Rex Tillerson-and now updated with revealing firsthand accounts from inside Donald Trump's confrontations with diplomats during his impeachment and candid testimonials from officials in Joe Biden's inner circle, War on Peace makes a powerful case for an endangered profession. Diplomacy, Farrow argues, has declined after decades of political cowardice, shortsightedness, and outright malice-but it may just offer America a way out of a world at war.
Hegarty on Advertising
A revised and expanded edition of the book described by Books Monthly as 'an absolute gem. A bible, in fact'.
If the future is going to be creative, then Hegarty on Advertising points you in the right direction. Written by one of the world's legendary advertising men, this best-selling book contains five decades' worth of wisdom from the man behind hugely influential campaigns for brands such as Levi's, Audi, Boddingtons and Lynx.
In this new and improved edition John Hegarty reveals what lies behind a great idea and effective advertising, the ingredients of a successful brand, the right way and the wrong way to run and launch an advertising agency, why you should always question the brief, the art of pitching to a potential client, the central role of storytelling in advertising, the impact of new technology in a rapidly evolving industry, and the importance of dealing with succession. And if that isn't enough, read the final chapters on winemaking and The Garage Soho, a startup incubator that he has co-founded, to find out what happens when an advertising man becomes the client and has ideas sold to him.
Both a credo for creativity and a brilliantly entertaining memoir, Hegarty on Advertising provides unparalleled industry insight through stories and anecdotes about the agencies in which Hegarty has played a vital role and the many characters with whom he has worked along the way. Packed with straight-down-the-line, generous, engaging and witty advice, it will be of immense appeal across the whole creative spectrum, from those who want to work in advertising to chief executives who understand the power and value of ideas that sell.
On Connection
This is a book about connection. About how immersing ourselves in creativity can help us cultivate greater self-awareness and bring us closer to each other.
Drawing on two decades of experience as a writer and performer, Kae Tempest champions the role of creativity - in whatever form we choose to practice it - as an act of love, helping us establish a deeper relationship to our true selves, and to others and the world, we live in.
Honest, hopeful, and written with piercing clarity, On Connection is an inspiring personal meditation that will transform the way you see the world.
War on Wheels
The strange and thrilling world of Japanese track racing - a cycling and betting culture unlike anything else on earth
The Olympic cycling sport of keirin was invented in Japan more than 70 years ago to raise money to rebuild the country after World War II. Now, fans bet billions of dollars a year on races, with the top riders earning huge sums.
In each race, a pacemaker leads nine riders around huge concrete velodromes, then leaves the track with around a lap and a half to go - the cue for a frantic finish as the competitors reach speeds of up to 70 kph. Along the way they block and shove each other, clash heads and occasionally crash (the two Japanese characters used to write keirin mean 'battle' and 'wheel'). To prevent race fixing, the cyclists spend meets living in dorms, with no access to online technology. Their lives are ruled by ritual and fierce competition, from their rookie days at the Japan Keirin School near Mount Fuji to the annual Grand Prix final, whose winner takes home prize money of almost one million dollars.
A small number of foreign riders are invited to compete in Japan every year and some, like Shane Perkins, have overcome culture shock to prosper in the home of keirin.
Justin McCurry, the Guardian's Japan and Korea correspondent, explores a blue-collar Japan we rarely see and a uniquely fascinating sporting culture.
