Strážca zákona
Šerif Shay McQuillan má plné ruky práce – vystopovať zlodejov, čo prepadli dostavník, pomstiť vraždu snúbenice – a vôbec neráta s tým, že sa uňho znenazdajky objaví jeho brat – dvojča, o ktorom až dosiaľ nemal ani potuchy. Krásna Aislinn Lethabyová, pomocníčka v hoteli, vstúpi do Shayovho života, zachráni ho pred nebezpečenstvom a zmení mu tým od základov život. Shay v nej spočiatku nachádza len príjemné rozptýlenie, Aislinn však začína vypĺňať jeho osamelé srdce láskou...

Quatre lectures talmudiques
Ces quatre lectures talmudiques (Envers autrui, La Tentation de la tentation, Terre promise et terre permise, Vieux comme le monde), ont été prononcé de 1963 à 1966 aux colloques d’intellectuels juifs organisés par la section française du Congrès juif mondial.Pratiquement ignoré par la culture occidentale, le Talmud est la transcription orale d’Israël. Il régit la vie quotidienne et rituelle ainsi que la pensée des juifs confessant le judaïsme. Il comporte deux versions parallèles : l’une de Jérusalem, l’autre de Babylone, et les textes se classent sous deux rubriques : Halakhah, qui a trait à la vie rituelle et sociale, et Hagadah qui se présente sous forme d’apologues.Emmanuel Lévinas commente ici des textes sur le pardon, la révélation, la conquête d’un pays et le rapport entre la justice et la moralité privée qui sont extraits de la Hagadah dans la version babylonienne. Ce faisant, il cherche à faire surgir du texte un sens caché qui fasse comprendre la multiplicité des indications qui peuvent orienter la conscience morale. Ce ne sont donc pas paroles ou lettres mortes qui sont examinées, mais l’on assiste à une interrogation philosophique, celle d’une recherche concrète du sens tendue vers l’essence du religieux et de l’éthique ; celle-là même qui fait d’Emmanuel Lévinas l’un des interlocuteurs les plus avertis dans le débat qui a lieu autour du judaïsme. En se tenant à l’écart de la compétition qui semble animer certains mouvements philosophiques, l’œuvre de Lévinas s’organise au-delà du discours. Elle est pensée avant toute chose, ouverte à l’expérience des autres, ou plutôt de l’autre.La première édition de ce livre est parue en 1968. Le Nouvel Observateur écrivait alors : « Dans ses Lectures talmudiques, recueil de « Leçons » faite devant des intellectuels juifs, Lévinas divulgue, en quelque sorte, cette traditionnelle manière juive de lire qui consiste à commenter un documentaire qui se commente déjà lui-même et, le plus souvent, commente un texte biblique. Sans doute faut-il des siècles de la vie d’un peuple, et des années de la vie d’un homme pour permettre le livre de Lévinas, cette jubilation dialectique, cette rigueur sans formalisme, ce mépris de la théologie, ce parti pris de réflexion éthique et politique.

Drugs: A Very Short Introduction
The book gives a non-technical account of how drugs work in the body. The twentieth century saw a remarkable upsurge of research on drugs, with major advances in the treatment of bacterial and viral infections, heart disease, stomac ulcers, cancer, and metal illnesses. These, along with the introduction of the oral contraceptive, have altered all of our lives. There has also been an increase in the recreational use and abuse of drugs in the Western world. The book reviews both legal (alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine) and illegal drugs and disscusses current idea about why some are addictive, and whether drug laws need reform.
Should We Stay or Should We Go
Determined to die with dignity, Kay and her husband Cyril - both healthy and vital medical professionals in their early fifties - make a pact: to commit suicide together once they've both turned eighty.
A lot can change in thirty years, however...
By turns hilarious and touching, playful and grave, Should We Stay or Should We Go portrays twelve parallel universes, each exploring a possible future for Kay and Cyril. Do they honour their agreement? And if not, will they live to regret it?
'Some books become so popular that the lucky author can thereafter churn out any old cobblers, confident in the knowledge that it will be published and find an audience. Lionel Shriver never took that easy route' Irish Independent

Clementis – Minister na popravisku
Vladimír Clementis sa narodil v roku 1902 v Tisovci. Bol slovenský politik, právnik, spisovateľ a prekladateľ. Vyrastal v učiteľskej evanjelickej rodine. Študoval na Právnickej fakulte Karlovej univerzity v Prahe. V roku 1924 vstúpil do Komunistickej strany a spolu s ďalšími ľavicovými intelektuálmi začali vydávať časopis DAV. V roku 1939 emigroval do Francúzska, kde v prítomnosti Viliama Širokého kritizoval uzavretie paktu Molotov-Ribbentropp a odsúdil napadnutie Fínska Sovietskym zväzom. Neskôr ho jeho priateľ, ruský spisovateľ Ilja Erenburg varoval, že Stalin si takéto veci pamätá a neodpúšťa, ale už bolo neskoro. Široký sa postaral o to, aby sa na ne nezabudlo. Ako štátny tajomník ministerstva zahraničia ČSR sa po vojne zaslúžil o to, že Jarovce, Rusovce a Čunovo pripadli Slovensku. Mal tiež veľkú zásluhu na tom, že Československo v roku 1948 dodávalo novovzniknutému štátu Izrael zbrane. Bez nich by sa pravdepodobne neubránil arabskej presile. Clementis patril k bohémom a k ľavicovej intelektuálnej elite. Mal veľký podiel na zavedení komunistického režimu ktorého sa nakoniec sám stal obeťou. V roku 1952 bol v procese s Protištátnym sprisahaneckým centrom pod vedením Rudolfa Slánského odsúdený na smrť a popravený. Kniha je románovým príbehom tejto výraznej osobnosti našich novodobých dejín.

Őszi hadjárat
Térey János harminc év verseiből állította össze az Őszi hadjárat gyűjteményét, melyben egy kötetnyi új alkotását is közreadja. Az elmúlt három évtizedben kidolgozott egyedi és összetéveszthetetlen lírai nyelvet a maga teljességében reprezentálandó, kikerültek az eredeti kötetekből versek, másokat a szerző alaposabban átdolgozott, lenyesegetve a fiatalkori útkeresés bizonytalanságait, helyenként az egyes kötetszerkezetek is változtak.
Az életműben kezdettől fogva épülő mitologikus helyek, városlátomások, a versekben kirajzolódó férfi- és női sziluettek, sötét titkok és felkavaró élethazugságok, a köz- és magántörténeti viszonyok dinamikájának ábrázolása a múlt és jelen összecsendítésével, Térey Jánost a kortárs magyar líra megkerülhetetlen szerzőjévé emelte. Az Őszi hadjárat eddigi lírai művének méltó összegzése.

The Last Drop
Water scarcity is the next big climate crisis. Water stress – not just scarcity, but also water-quality issues caused by pollution – is already driving the first waves of climate refugees. Rivers are drying out before they meet the oceans, and ancient lakes are disappearing. Fourteen of the world’s twenty megacities are now experiencing water scarcity or drought conditions. It’s increasingly clear that human mismanagement of water is dangerously unsustainable, for both ecological and human survival. And yet in recent years some key countries have been quietly and very successfully addressing water stress.
How are Singapore and Israel, for example – both severely water-stressed countries – not in the same predicament as Chennai or California, but now boast surplus water? What can we learn from them and how can we use this knowledge to turn things around for the wider global community?
Do we have to stop eating almonds and asparagus grown in the deserts of California and Peru? Could desalination of seawater be the answer? Or rainwater capture? Are some of the wilder ‘solutions’ – such as the plan to tow icebergs to Cape Town – pure madness, or necessary innovation?
Award-winning environmental journalist Tim Smedley will travel the world to meet the experts, the victims, the activists and pioneers, to find out how we can mend the water table that our survival depends upon. His book will take an unblinking look at the current situation and how we got there. And then look to the solutions.
The Last Drop promises to offer a fascinating, universally relevant account of the environmental and human factors that have led us to this point, and suggests practical ways in which we might address the crisis, before it’s too late.
The Glass Cliff
‘The Glass Cliff is a conversation about what happens when women break the rules, and break through The Glass Ceiling.’
Have you ever wondered why there are so few success stories of women in business leadership? Or maybe you’ve wondered what life is really like on the other side of The Glass Ceiling? The world of work is supposedly changing, embracing diversity – yet are the opportunities we’re giving to women really equal to those of men?
Drawing on almost 20 years of research from around the world, The Glass Cliff phenomenon - whereby women are often only hired in leadership roles when a business is already underperforming, meaning their chances of success are limited before they ever even start in the role - is well established, but little known. Until now.
This is the story of The Glass Cliff: a story of a structural inequality disguising itself as the personal failures of women. When activist Sophie Williams gave her viral TED talk on the subject, she was subsequently flooded with accounts of confident, accomplished women who had taken what seemed like a dream leadership role only to quickly find themselves in a waking nightmare. Without the language to describe their experiences they had been left blaming themselves, until Williams gave them the tools to reframe and reexamine what they’d gone through.
Once we understand The Glass Cliff – once we can stand together and face it head-first – we can start to unravel so many other false narratives about women’s leadership experiences that just don’t make sense without it. By understanding the phenomenon, and by telling one another about it, we can affect the conversation, empower one another to overcome societal bias and, ultimately, change the world of work for women forever.
