An Explanation of the Inverted-U Relationship between Profitability and Innovation
V této knize jsou formulovány dva inovační modely, které vysvětlují vztah mezi ziskovostí a inovacemi ve tvaru obráceného U a vztahy mezi ziskovostí a rozdíly mezi produktivitou jednotlivých firem v daném odvětví, které nachází Aghion et al. (2005) a Hashmi (2005). Základní model (basic model) přináší jednoduché a obecné vysvětlení těchto stylizovaných faktů a prospektově teoretický model (prospect-theory model) předkládá specifické vysvětlení stylizovaných faktů, které obsahuje behaviorální teorii manažerského rozhodování. Pro určité hodnoty parametrů generují oba modely predikce, které odpovídají vztahům, jež nachází Aghion et al. (2005) a Hashmi (2005). Dále je zde ukázáno, že oba modely vytvářejí realistické předpovědi i pro širší rozmezí parametrů kolem těchto specifických hodnot.

Henry Fielding between Satire and Sentiment
Kniha zkoumá, jakou roli sehrály romány Henryho Fieldinga v průběhu všeobecné reformy veřejného vystupování, přičemž se blíže soustřeďuje na vývoj maskulinních vzorů, který je spojen s proměňujícím se chápáním zdvořilosti v letech 1742–1751. Publikace prezentuje analýzy Fieldingových obrazů maskulinity v souvislosti s dynamickými požadavky na ekonomické, politické a estetické standardy, a nabízí tak přínosný a komplexní pohled na jeho dílo v dobovém kontextu.

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea
Don't chase fate. Let fate chase you.
For generations, deadly storms have ravaged Mina's homeland. Her people believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curse them with death and despair. To appease him, each year a maiden is thrown into the sea, in the hopes that one day the 'true bride' will be chosen and end the suffering.
Many believe Shim Cheong - Mina's brother's beloved - to be the legendary true bride. But on the night Cheong is sacrificed, Mina's brother follows her, even knowing that to interfere is a death sentence. To save her brother, Mina throws herself into the water in Cheong's stead.
Swept away to the Spirit Realm, a magical city of lesser gods and mythical beasts, Mina finds the Sea God, trapped in an enchanted sleep. With the help of a mysterious young man and a motley crew of demons, gods and spirits, Mina sets out to wake him and bring an end to the storms once and for all.
But she doesn't have much time: a human cannot live long in the land of the spirits. And there are those who would do anything to keep the Sea God from waking...
The Beatles - Get Back
Az eredeti angol kiadással egy időben magyarul is olvasható lesz az új Beatles-filmhez kapcsolódó exkluzív könyv!
1969 januárjában a Beatles azzal a nagyszabású tervvel vágott neki az új esztendőnek, hogy egy különleges show keretében filmre veszik, ahogy dalokat írnak és próbálnak, majd előadják őket közönség előtt. A később Get Back néven ismertté vált projekt kétszeresen is visszatérést jelentett, hiszen az együttes ekkor már két és fél éve nem koncertezett, a kísérletező korszakukat követően pedig vissza akartak kanyarodni az eredeti rockos gyökerekhez. Egy hónapon keresztül kamerák és mikrofonok rögzítették minden szavukat, ám hogy végül mi valósult meg az elképzelésekből, azt meséli el az akkor rögzített dialógusok alapján ez a fotókkal gazdagon illusztrált kötet, amely szorosan kapcsolódik a Peter Jackson rendezte, azonos című új Beatles-filmhez.
Things We Hide From The Light
Police Chief Nash Morgan is known for two things: being a good guy and the way his uniform accentuates his rear end.
But two bullets put a dent in his Southern charm and now he's facing a criminal still on the loose and a town full of citizens that consider the law more of a 'guideline'. The last thing he needs is the leggy, smart-mouthed Lina Solavita moving in next door, making him feel things he doesn't have the energy to feel.
Lina is on a mission. As soon as she gets what she's after, she has no intention of sticking around. The town of Knockemout has other ideas. Soon she finds herself sucked into small-town life. Dog-sitting. Saying yes to a bridesmaid's dress. Listening to the sexy chief of police in the shower.
But when Nash discovers Lina's secret these friends become furious enemies - though the sparks flying between them don't know the difference between love and hate.

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied. Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
Then, late one night, in the middle of the English countryside, they landed.

The American Roommate Experiment
From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martin, who are forced to share a New York apartment.
Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn't told her family and now has terrible writer's block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina's spare key while she's out of town. But Rosie doesn't know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking-for lack of a better word-on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armour. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks.
Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He'll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control-but Lucas's time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.

But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.

Dogstar byla založena v roce 1991 a původní sestava zahrnovala baskytaristu Keanu Reevesa, bubeníka Roberta Mailhousea a kytaristu Gregga Millera. Hudba Dogstar byla ovlivněna alternativním rockem a grungem, což byly dominantní žánry v té době. Skupina vydala dvě studiová alba "Our Little Visionary" (1996) a "Happy Ending" (2000). Dogstar odehrála řadu koncertů a turné, ale počátkem 21. století postupně ustala jejich aktivita.
