The Greatest Story Ever Told...So Far
`Probably the most readable, exciting and authoritative writer on science we have. A new Lawrence Krauss book always goes to the top of the curious mind's wish list.' Stephen Fry "I loved the fight scenes and the sex scenes were excellent." (Eric Idle) 'In the span of a century, physics progressed from skepticism that atoms were real to equations so precise we can predict properties of subatomic particles to the tenth decimal place. Lawrence Krauss rightly places this achievement among the greatest of all stories, and his book-at once engaging, poetic and scholarly-tells the story with a scientist's penetrating insight and a writer's masterly craft.' (Brian Greene, author of The Elegant Universe, and Director, Center for Theoretical Physics, Columbia University) "Unlike some very clever scientists, Lawrence Krauss is not content to bask on the Mount Olympus of modern physics. A great educator as well as a great physicist, he wants to pull others up the rarefied heights to join him. But unlike some science educators, he doesn't dumb down. In Einstein's words, he makes it 'as simple as possible but no simpler.'" (Richard Dawkins, author of The Magic of Reality) "In every debate I've done with theologians and religious believers their knock-out final argument always comes in the form of two questions: Why is there something rather than nothing? and Why are we here? The presumption is that if science provides no answers then there must be a God. But God or no, we still want answers. In A Universe From Nothing Lawrence Krauss, one of the biggest thinkers of our time, addressed the first question with verve, and in The Greatest Story Ever Told he tackles the second with elegance. Both volumes should be placed in hotel rooms across America, in the drawer next to the Gideon Bible." (Michael Shermer, Publisher Skeptic magazine, columnist Scientific American, Presidential Fellow Chapman University, author The Moral Arc.) "A Homeric tale of science, history, and philosophy revealing how we learned so much about the universe and its tiniest parts." (Sheldon Glashow, Nobel Laureate, 1979 in physics) "The Greatest Story Ever Told-So Far ranges from Galileo to the LHC and beyond. It's accessible, illuminating, and surprising-an ideal guide for anyone interested in understanding our accidental universe." (Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction) "College students, hippies, squares, Christians, Muslims, democrats, republicans, libertarians, theists, even atheists-all of us-sit around BS-ing like: `So, how did all this, I mean everything, all of us, the whole universe, you know, man, everything, how did this all get here?' While we were doing that, Lawrence Krauss and people like him were doing the work to figure it out. Then Krauss wrote this great book about it. `Wow, man, you mean, like we're getting closer to really knowing? I guess we'll have to go back to talking about politics and sex.'" (Penn Jillette, author of Presto!) "Discovering the bedrock nature of physical reality ranks as one of humanity's greatest collective achievements. This book gives a fine account of the main ideas and how they emerged. Krauss is himself close to the field, and can offer insights into the personalities who have led the key advances. A practiced and skilled writer, he succeeds in making the physics `as simple as possible but no simpler.' I don't know a better book on this subject." (Martin Rees, author of Just Six Numbers) "It is an exhilarating experience to be led through this fascinating story, from Galileo to the Standard Model and the Higgs boson and beyond, with lucid detail and insight, illuminating vividly not only the achievements themselves but also the joy of creative thought and discovery, enriched with vignettes of the remarkable individuals who paved the way. It amply demonstrates that the discovery that `nature really follows the simple and elegant rules intuited by the 20th- and 21st-century versions of Plato's philosophers' is one of the most astonishing achievements of the human intellect." (Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor & Professor of Linguistics (Emeritus), MIT) "Charming... Krauss has written an account with sweep and verve that shows the full development of our ideas about the makeup of the world around us... A great romp." (Walter Gilbert, Nobel Award, Chemistry, 1980) "History of science with an edge-humorous, personal, passionate, yet intellectually serious and authoritative." (Frank Wilczek, Nobel Laureate, Physics)In the beginning there was light but more than this, there was gravity. After that, all hell broke loose... This is how the story of the greatest intellectual adventure in history should be introduced - how humanity reached its current understanding of the universe, one that is far removed from the realm of everyday experience. Krauss connects the world we know with the invisible world all around us, which is removed from intuition and direct sensation. He explains our current understanding of nature and the struggle to construct the greatest theoretical edifice ever assembled, the Standard Model of Particle Physics -- and then to understand its implications for our existence. Writing in the critically acclaimed style of A Universe from Nothing, Krauss celebrates the beauty and wonders of the natural world and details our place within it and how this shapes our understanding of it. Krauss makes this story accessible through profiles of the scientists responsible for these advances, and clear explanations of their discoveries. Krauss takes us on a tour of science and the brilliant personalities who shaped it, often against political and religious indoctrination, enduring persecution and ostracism. Krauss creates a captivating blend of research and narrative to invite us into the lives and minds of these figures,creating a landmark work of scientific history.

Ecstasy Of St. Theresa - In Dust 3 LP
KDO: Ecstasy Of St. Theresa je výjimečnou skupinou. Vždy se poměrně originálně pokoušela hledat vlastní výraz a zvuk, čímž spoluurčovala směřování alternativní hudby v Čechách. Jako jedna z mála českých kapel se dokázala prosadit v zahraničí. Obstála v Anglii, kde bodovala v nezávislé hitparádě a natáčela slavnou show s legendárním hledačem talentů Johnem Peelem. V první polovině devadesátých let vydala na značce Go! Discs tři desky. Jan Muchow, vůdčí postava kapely, je zároveň žádaným producentem a autorem filmové či divadelní hudby. V kapele ho doplňuje zpěvačka Kateřina Winterová.
CO: Ve své době byla deska In Dust 3 zjevením. Vyšla v roce 1999 a odstartovala novou kapitolu fungování kultovní formace. V nově zformované skupině multiinstrumentalistu Honzu Muchowa doplnila zpěvačka Kateřina Winterová, pro kterou to byla první hudební zkušenost. V nové sestavě EOST natočila nadčasovou desku plnou kontrastů mezi elektronikou, studiovými experimenty a tradičními nástroji. Oficiálně se ti dva nikdy nerozešli, poslední nahrávku však vydali v roce 2006. S koncerty šetří a vystupují zcela příležitostně. V roce 2024 se však vrátí nejen na festivalová pódia a při té příležitosti bude album In Dust 3 poprvé uvedeno na vinylu.

Green Day - Revolution Radio (Picture Vinyl) LP
KDO: Americká punk rocková kapela se dala dohromady v roce 1986 okolo zpěváka Billie Joe Arstronga a baskytaristy Mikea Dirnta. Green Day byli součastí punkové scény v Kalifornii, která se formovala okolo klubu 924 Gilman Street v Berkley. Zpočátku vydávali na malé nezávislé značce Lookout!, v roce 1994 přešli pod velké vydavatelství, kde hned s první deskou Dookie dosáhli fenomenálního úspěchu. Prodej alba překročil jen v Americe 10 milionů kopií. Green Day jsou dnes jednou z komerčně nejúspěšnějších rockových kapel světa s prodejem přes 75 milionů desek, obdrželi řadu cen včetně pěti Grammy.
CO: Dvanácté studiové album kapely vyšlo v říjnu roku 2016 a debutovalo na prvních místech hitparád v USA, Velké Británii, Irsku, Itálii nebo Kanadě. Nahrávka je nyní k dispozici na 180g picture vinylu.

Stone Sour - Hydrograd CD
KDO: Americkou rockovou kapelu založil v roce 1992 zpěvák Corey Taylor, kterého příznivci tvrdé metalové muziky znají jako člena Slipknot. V roce 1997 se skupina rozpadla, aby se znovu sformovala v roce 2000. Stone Sour se mohou pyšnit několika nominacemi na prestižní Grammy.
CO: V letech 2012 a 2013 skupina vydala koncepční dvojalbum House Of Gold & Bones Pt 1 a 2, nyní se vrací s deskou, která nabízí velmi melodické pasáže a hymnické refrény. Jakoby se Stone Sour vraceli k podstatě písniček a kořenům rock'n'rollu. Tohle je jedna z nejsilnějších desek, na které jsem pracoval od dob prvního alba Slipknot, prohlásil Corey Taylor o novince Hydrograd.

A is for Arsenic
Shortlisted for the Macavity Awards 2016
Fourteen novels. Fourteen poisons. Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it's all made-up ...
Agatha Christie revelled in the use of poison to kill off unfortunate victims in her books; indeed, she employed it more than any other murder method, with the poison itself often being a central part of the novel. Her choice of deadly substances was far from random – the characteristics of each often provide vital clues to the discovery of the murderer. With gunshots or stabbings the cause of death is obvious, but this is not the case with poisons. How is it that some compounds prove so deadly, and in such tiny amounts?
Christie's extensive chemical knowledge provides the backdrop for A is for Arsenic, in which Kathryn Harkup investigates the poisons used by the murderer in fourteen classic Agatha Christie mysteries. It looks at why certain chemicals kill, how they interact with the body, the cases that may have inspired Christie, and the feasibility of obtaining, administering and detecting these poisons, both at the time the novel was written and today. A is for Arsenic is a celebration of the use of science by the undisputed Queen of Crime.
