The History of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Pictures
Based on period documents and photography, the book maps in detail the development of Czech non-university sciences from the 18th century when the Society of Unknown Scholars in the Austrian Lands was founded in Olomouc. The main attention is focused on the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and its most important precursors, whether the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, active in 1953–1992, or earlier institutions, such as the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts (originally the Emperor Franz Joseph Czech Academy for Sciences, Literature and Arts), founded in 1890, or the Royal Bohemian Society of Learning, which existed already from the 18th century. Individual chapters are devoted also to Masaryk Academy of Labour and the main scientific institutions of the Germans living in the Czech lands – Gesellschaft zur Förderung Deutscher Wissenschaft, Kunst und Literatur in Böhmen (Society for the Support of German Sciences, Arts and Literature in Bohemia). Attention is, however, also devoted to our most important scientists with whose research results as well as the milieu in which they worked and work the reader is acquainted with through archival and contemporary sources. The patrons and sponsors who made it possible for Czech science to reach a global level are also not forgotten. The entire process of the development of Czech non-university science is places in the wider social context, which influenced the development of the scientific institutions and the position of scientists in them.

The Little Book of Tom. Cops & Robbers
Tom's taste for police officers and felons-and for sexual tension between the two-developed late in his career. "I've never been to prison," he told a class at the California Institute of the Arts in 1985, "but I hear it's a closed world where there are different roles and people behave different from when they walk free. It fascinates me. It is another subject I come back to again and again." By which he meant fantasized about again and again, since only those subjects that aroused him sexually made it into his art.
The uniforms of the California Highway Patrol motorcyclists were his favorite: tan and tight, with high boots and soft black leather gauntlet gloves. He created his own uniform variants as well, a cross between military and civilian police gear, and invented suitably butch criminals for his cops to apprehend, though once apprehended the power struggle could go either way. Tom was determined to show top and bottom as equally masculine roles, and his cops were as likely to end up happily speared by criminal cock as delivering corrective coitus. Though criticized by some for what appeared to be a glorification of power, Tom was always quick to remind that the world he created was a fantasy world, where anything was possible, and everything was consensual-even in prison.
The Little Book of Tom: Cops & Robbers explores Tom's fascination with criminal justice through a mixture of multi-panel comics and single-panel drawings and paintings, all in a compact and affordable 192 pages. Historic film stills and posters, personal photos of Tom, sketches, and Tom's own reference photos make this far more than another Tom's Comics re-tread.

The Fall of Gondolin
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a standalone work, the epic tale of The Fall of Gondolin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Balrogs, Dragons and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien's Middle-earth.
In the Tale of The Fall of Gondolin are two of the greatest powers in the world. There is Morgoth of the uttermost evil, unseen in this story but ruling over a vast military power from his fortress of Angband. Deeply opposed to Morgoth is Ulmo, second in might only to Manwe, chief of the Valar.
Central to this enmity of the gods is the city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. It was built and peopled by Noldorin Elves who, when they dwelt in Valinor, the land of the gods, rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor in heated debate largely refuse to intervene in support of Ulmo's desires and designs.
Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Turin, the instrument of Ulmo's designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out from the land of his birth on the fearful journey to Gondolin, and in one of the most arresting moments in the history of Middle-earth the sea-god himself appears to him, rising out of the ocean in the midst of a storm. In Gondolin he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon's daughter, and their son is Earendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo.
At last comes the terrible ending. Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. After a minutely observed account of the fall of Gondolin, the tale ends with the escape of Tuor and Idril, with the child Earendel, looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city. They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Earendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources.
Following his presentation of Beren and Luthien Christopher Tolkien has used the same 'history in sequence' mode in the writing of this edition of The Fall of Gondolin. In the words of J.R.R. Tolkien, it was 'the first real story of this imaginary world' and, together with Beren and Luthien and The Children of Hurin, he regarded it as one of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days.

Aristotle and Dante Dive Into the Waters of the World
The highly anticipated sequel to the beloved cult classic about family, friendship and first love, from award-winning author Benjamin Alire Saenz. This lyrical novel will enrapture readers of Love, Simon, John Green and Call me by your Name.
A love story like no other.
In Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, two boys fell in love. Now they must discover what it means to stay in love and build a relationship in a world that seems to challenge their very existence.
Ari has spent all of high school hiding who he really is, staying silent and invisible. He expected his senior year to be the same. But something in him cracked open when he fell in love with Dante, and he can't go back. Suddenly he finds himself reaching out to new friends, standing up to bullies and making his voice heard. And, always, there is Dante - dreamy, witty Dante - who can get on Ari's nerves and fill him with desire all at once.
The boys are determined to forge a path for themselves in a world that doesn't understand them. But when Ari is faced with a shocking loss, he'll have to fight like never before to create a life that is truthfully, joyfully his own.
Žbirka Miro - Meky: The Best Of Miro Žbirka 3CD
Miro Žbirka rekapituluje své více než čtyřicetileté úspěšné působení na hudební scéně. Výsledkem je výběrové album THE BEST OF MIRO ŽBIRKA a MIRO ŽBIRKA SONGBOOK.
Celkem 64 skladeb na třech CD v luxusním kartonovém obalu - THE BEST OF MIRO ŽBIRKA nabízí opravdu vydatnou dávku Žbirkovy tvorby! Výběr rozhodně není nahodilý, dramaturgii alba vytvořil sám Meky a v bookletu nechybí odkazy na originální alba, z nichž skladby původně pocházejí. Kromě legendárních hitů najdete na trojalbu i novou skladbu Slovenská která se váže k filmu Juraje Jakubiska Perinbaba a dva světy (premiéra 3.12. 2020). Nahrávky na albu THE BEST OF MIRO ŽBIRKA byly letos remasterovány a dostaly současný zvuk v proslulém londýnském studiu Abbey Road Studios, což přináší ještě intenzivnější posluchačský zážitek. Průřezové album je de facto soundtrackem k filmové biografii MEKY, která záhy po červencovém vstupu do českých kin zaznamenala velmi příznivé ohlasy diváků i recenzentů.

Mária Medvecká, Pozdrav maliarke Oravy / Greeting to the Painter of Orava
Medvecká bola svojou tvorbou, životom i kultúrno-spoločenskou prácou pevne spätá s rodnou Oravou. Vyštudovaná učiteľka pôvodne pôsobila na viacerých oravských školách. Už vtedy spoznala krásu prírody a ľudí Oravy. V zložitých rokoch 1942 1947 štud
ovala maľbu v Bratislave, vo Viedni a v Prahe. V tom čase tiež spoznala časť európskej maliarskej moderny. Blízke jej bolo aj dielo prof. Jána Mudrocha a niektorých našich starších klasikov a maliarov Generácie 1909. Po ukončení štúdia sa v roku 1947
vrátila domov na Oravu. Spolu s manželom, maliarom Ctiborom Belanom, synom a dcérou žila v Medvedzí, kde v roku 1979 otvorili Galériu Márie Medveckej. V jej tvorbe maľbe a kresbe dominovala krajina, príroda. Boli to aj figurálne kompozície a pra
covné motívy, po roku 1950 poznamenané doktrínou socialistického realizmu. Maľovala aj kvetinové zátišia a obľúbené, civilistické i emotívne, detské portréty. Popisný realizmus vystriedala jej vrúcna a rýdza realistická maľba maľba vnútornej sily,
expresie, dynamického rukopisu i pôsobnosti farebných nálad a vôní oravskej krajiny v premenách ročných období. Mária Medvecká sa tak stala jedinečnou maliarkou jej" Oravy. Texty katalógu pripomínajú aj doteraz málo publikované širšie ľudské i malia
rske kontexty v našej výtvarnej kultúre druhej polovice 20. storočia. Ucelená výstavná kolekcia komorných obrazov sa zachovala vďaka zberateľom Karolovi Kollárovi a jeho synovi Marekovi. Ako súbor je vystavená prvýkrát. Bratislava na maliarky Oravy" nezabudla.
King of Sloth
The must-read billionaire romance from the bestselling author of the Twisted series.
Read King of Sloth now for a steamy reverse grumpy sunshine romance.
He'd never wanted anyone enough to chase them . . . until he met her.
Charming, easy-going, and rich beyond belief, Xavier Castillo has the world at his fingertips.
He also has no interest in taking over his family's empire (much to his father's chagrin), but that hasn't stopped women from throwing themselves at him . . . unless the woman in question is his publicist.
Nothing brings him more joy than riling her up, but when a tragedy forces them closer than ever, he must grapple with the uncertainty of his future - and the realization that the only person immune to his charms is the only one he truly wants.
***
Cool, intelligent, and ambitious, Sloane Kensington is a high-powered publicist who's used to dealing with difficult clients.
However, none infuriate - or tempt - her more than a certain billionaire heir, with his stupid dimples and laid-back attitude.
She may be forced to work with him, but she'll never fall for him . . . no matter how fast he makes her heart beat or how thoughtful he is beneath his party persona.
He's her client, and that's all he'll ever be. Right?
King of Sloth is a steamy reverse grumpy sunshine billionaire romance. It includes explicit content and profanity. Recommended for mature readers only.
Star Wars: The Tales of Kenobi
Tatooine, the harsh desert planet on the edge of civilized space, is an unlikely place to find a Jedi Master in hiding. Known to locals only as “Ben,” the bearded and robed offworlder shares nothing of his past and goes through great pains to remain an outsider. But when violence erupts between some of Tatooine’s farmers and a tribe of marauding Tusken Raiders, Ben finds himself drawn into the conflict. It’s a move that may reveal him as Obi-Wan Kenobi, hero of the Clone Wars and an enemy of the Empire—and endanger his true mission as protector of the galaxy’s last hope.

Kingdom of the Feared
Two curses. One prophecy. And a love more powerful than fate...
All hail the king and queen of Hell. #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco delivers sizzling romance, sexy secrets, and unexpected twists in this unforgettable conclusion to the Kingdom of the Wicked series. Emilia is reeling from a shocking discovery about her sister, Vittoria.
But before she faces the demons of her past, Emilia yearns to claim her king, the seductive Prince of Wrath, in the flesh. She doesn't just desire his body; she wants his heart and soul-but that's something the enigmatic demon can't promise her. When a high-ranking member of House Greed is assassinated, damning evidence somehow points to Vittoria as the murderer.
Now, Emilia will do anything to get to the bottom of these accusations against the sister she thought she knew. Together, Emilia and Wrath play a sin-fuelled game of deception to solve the murder and stop the unrest that's brewing between witches, demons, shape-shifters, and the most treacherous foes of all: the Feared. Emilia was warned that when it came to the Wicked, nothing was as it seemed.
But have the true villains been much closer all along?
