Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast + Beast Over Hammersmith 3LP
Warner Music s potešením oznamuje vydanie pamätného trojitého čierneho vinylového albumu na počesť 40. výročia kľúčového tretieho albumu IRON MAIDEN, The Number Of The Beast, ktorý bol tiež prvým s Bruceom Dickinsonom vokálom a mal sa stať nahrávka, ktorá kapelu katapultovala medzi medzinárodné hviezdy. Súčasťou nového vinylového balenia je Beast Over Hammersmith – teraz oficiálne k dispozícii úplne prvýkrát na vinyle – so živým koncertom z dnes už legendárnej londýnskej show Hammersmith Odeon z marca 1982 zo svetového turné Beast On The Road. Nahraté len niekoľko dní pred vydaním albumu The Number Of The Beast, je pozoruhodné, že tieto dnes už klasické piesne v tom čase boli stále úplne nové, nepoznané a fanúšikovia ich naživo počuli po prvý raz. Pripravuje sa skutočný kus histórie.
Vydanie obsahuje exkluzívne noty napísané zakladateľom a basgitaristom Maiden Stevom Harrisom, ako aj zreštaurované a rozšírené umelecké diela prevzaté z CD formátu Beast Over Hammersmith, ktorý bol predtým dostupný iba v limitovanej edícii Eddie's Archive, pôvodne vydanej v roku 2002.

Marián Hossa: My Journey from Trenčín to the Hall of Fame
A Stanley Cup champion and modern legend of the game, in his own words
Marián Hossa’s life is a lesson in the value of determination and perseverance. Born into a hockey family that included his father, a former player and coach of the Slovakian national team, Marián and his brother, Marcel, quickly fell in love with the sport. Before long, they began to display the level of skill that could lead to a professional career. But the odds of reaching the NHL from Trenčín, a town of 50,000 people nestled among the mountains of Slovakia, remained long.
Determined to follow their dreams, the Hossas persevered and were each eventually drafted in the first round. After some outstanding years in Ottawa and Atlanta, Marián moved on to Pittsburgh in 2008, where he helped lead the Penguins to the Stanley Cup Final against Detroit, a series his team lost.
Prioritizing winning over dollars, Hossa signed with the Red Wings the following season, where he again reached the Final only to find heartbreak again, improbably against the team he had just left, the Penguins. It seemed that perhaps he would never raise Lord Stanley’s Cup above his head.
But Hossa persevered, refusing to give in. In 2009, he signed with the Chicago Blackhawks, and played a key role in the team’s dynastic run the following decade, winning championships in 2010, 2013, and 2015. Then, yet another obstacle appeared in his path: an unusual and debilitating skin condition that compelled him to retire years before he’d planned.
?
In this inspiring and entertaining autobiography, Hossa brings readers inside the dressing room, onto the celebratory team plane, and alongside one of hockey’s greatest stars as he makes the biggest decisions of his career.
Also featuring photos from Hossa's personal collection, this is an essential read for all hockey fans.

Then look at what happens to young Mitchell Holmes, who misses short putts because of the uproar of the butterflies in the adjoining meadows. His career seems on the skids - but can golf redeem it?

Slow Productivity : The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout
From the New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work, a groundbreaking philosophy for pursuing meaningful accomplishment while avoiding overload.
Our current definition of “productivity” is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We’re overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices?
Long before the arrival of pinging inboxes and clogged schedules, history’s most creative and impactful philosophers, scientists, artists, and writers mastered the art of producing valuable work with staying power. In this timely and provocative book, Cal Newport harnesses the wisdom of these traditional knowledge workers to radically transform our modern jobs. Drawing from deep research on the habits and mindsets of a varied cast of storied thinkers – from Galileo and Isaac Newton, to Jane Austen and Georgia O’Keefe – Newport lays out the key principles of “slow productivity,” a more sustainable alternative to the aimless overwhelm that defines our current moment. Combining cultural criticism with systematic pragmatism, Newport deconstructs the absurdities inherent in standard notions of productivity, and then provides step-by-step advice for cultivating a slower, more humane alternative.
From the aggressive rethinking of workload management, to introducing seasonal variation, to shifting your performance toward long-term quality, Slow Productivity provides a roadmap for escaping overload and arriving instead at a more timeless approach to pursuing meaningful accomplishment. The world of work is due for a new revolution. Slow productivity is exactly what we need.
The Art of Money Getting, or Golden Rules for Making Money
P. T. Barnum, the great American showman of the 19th century, wrote this short book about making and keeping money. He certainly had life experiences that qualify him for the subject--he started a small newspaper in his twenties, bought and transformed a museum into a showplace for curiosities, built a circus empire that gave performances in America and Europe, promoted a performing tour of a singer, fell into debt in the 1850s and pulled himself out by lecture tours, was a mayor, and founded a hospital.Excerpts:"Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only to set their minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is easily done. But however easy it may be found to make money, I have no doubt many of my hearers will agree it is the most difficult thing in the world to keep it. ... True economy consists in always making the income exceed the out-go.""Unless a man enters upon the vocation intended for him by nature, and best suited to his peculiar genius, he cannot succeed. I am glad to believe that the majority of persons do find their right vocation. Yet we see many who have mistaken their calling..."His advice is indicated by the chapter titles:DON'T MISTAKE YOUR VOCATION,SELECT THE RIGHT LOCATION,AVOID DEBT,PERSEVERE,WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT,USE THE BEST TOOLS,DON'T GET ABOVE YOUR BUSINESS,LEARN SOMETHING USEFUL,LET HOPE PREDOMINATE, BUT BE NOT TOO VISIONARY,DO NOT SCATTER YOUR POWERS,BE SYSTEMATIC,READ THE NEWSPAPERS,BEWARE OF "OUTSIDE OPERATIONS",DON'T INDORSE WITHOUT SECURITY,ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS,"DON'T READ THE OTHER SIDE",BE POLITE AND KIND TO YOUR CUSTOMERS,BE CHARITABLE,DON'T BLAB,PRESERVE YOUR INTEGRITY.

Afterlives: Recovering the Lost Stories of Looted Art
A strikingly original exploration of the profound impact of World War II on how we understand the art that survived it
By the end of World War II an estimated one million artworks and 2.5 million books had been seized from their owners by Nazi forces; many were destroyed. The artworks and cultural artifacts that survived have traumatic, layered histories. This book traces the biographies of these objects-including paintings, sculpture, and Judaica-their rescue in the aftermath of the war, and their afterlives in museums and private collections and in our cultural understanding. In examining how this history affects the way we view these works, scholars discuss the moral and aesthetic implications of maintaining the association between the works and their place within the brutality of the Holocaust-or, conversely, the implications of ignoring this history.
Afterlives offers a thought-provoking investigation of the unique ability of art and artifacts to bear witness to historical events. With rarely seen archival photographs and with contributions by the contemporary artists Maria Eichhorn, Hadar Gad, Dor Guez, and Lisa Oppenheim, this catalogue illuminates the study of a difficult and still-urgent subject, with many parallels to today's crises of art in war.
Essentialism : The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
The life-changing international bestseller that started a global movement - now updated with the new 21-Day Essentialism Challenge and an exclusive excerpt from EFFORTLESS
Have you ever found yourself struggling with information overload?
Have you ever felt both overworked and underutilised?
Do you ever feel busy but not productive?
If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is to become an Essentialist.
In Essentialism, Greg McKeown, CEO of a Leadership and Strategy agency in Silicon Valley who has run courses at Apple, Google and Facebook, shows you how to achieve what he calls the disciplined pursuit of less. Being an Essentialist is about a disciplined way of thinking. It means challenging the core assumption of 'We can have it all' and 'I have to do everything' and replacing it with the pursuit of 'the right thing, in the right way, at the right time'.
By applying a more selective criteria for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter.
Using the experience and insight of working with the leaders of the most innovative companies and organisations in the world, McKeown shows you how to put Essentialism into practice in your own life, so you too can achieve something great.
Čas rytířů dalekých moří / The Time of the Knights of the Far Seas
Tato kniha je téměř zjevením. Zpřístupňuje totiž poklad, o který již léta pečuje brněnské Moravské zemské muzeum. V dosud nepublikované šíři tak můžete listovat fotografiemi ze sbírky Jindřicha Vávry, námořního lékaře a přírodovědce. Vávra byl nejstarším českým cestovatelem, který cíleně sbíral fotografické doklady ze svých zámořských cest, během nichž také dvakrát obeplul svět. Jeho fotografická sbírka z let 18651879, čítající na 1 300 fotografií, je zcela mimořádná. K nejpůsobivějším patří záběry z východní a jihovýchodní Asie, z Austrálie či ze severní Afriky. Vedle řady anonymních děl zahrnuje Vávrova sbírka také albuminové pozitivy z éry mokrého kolodiového procesu od fotografů světové proslulosti, jakým byl Samuel Bourne či Wilhelm Burger. Za své zásluhy v oblasti vědy byl Vávra vedle jiných ocenění honorován čestným titulem rytíř Dalekých moří.
Perfektně vypravená publikace poskytuje zcela nevšední zážitek, a to díky fotografiím, ze kterých na vás dýchne atmosféra dalekých a exotických zemí z časů před sto padesáti lety. Obohatí tak nejen milovníky fotografie a historie, ale i vášnivé cestovatele.
