Thief Of Time
The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is...
Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. You mess with it at your peril. You can let it move fast or slowly but what you mustn't do is allow it to stop.
The Monks of History have the glamorous job of time management in the Discworld. They store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like the underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there's never enough time.
But with the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time begins for History monk for Lu Tze and his suspiciously talented apprentice Lobsang Ludd.
Because a truly accurate clock will stop time.
And when time stands still, everything in human existence stops with it. Then, there really is no future.

Amikor megérkeznek és megtudják, hogy a negyedik testvér, Vincent nem vesz részt az unalmasnak ígérkező szertartáson, köszönés nélkül faképnél hagyják a násznépet és Simon feleségét, hogy hármasban abba a kastélyba ruccanjanak, ahol Vincent dolgozik. Életük fordulópontja lesz ez a kaland. Mind a négy testvér érzi, hogy ez a lopott alkalom az utolsó nagy találkozás, mely lezárja a fiatalkorukat. A "Kis kiruccanás" Anna Gavalda elbűvölő stílusában mesél a gyermekkori kötelékekről, melyek egész életünket meghatározzák.

Along the way, we hear tales of Keegan's childhood, his comedy influences, and the vicissitudes of his career path. As the New York Times said in its review of their podcast, "this comedy nerd history is filtered through memoir, with Key relating stories of his budding fandom, training and rise from improv comic to television sketch artist."
Part memoir, part masterclass, and hilariously embellished with priceless commentary, The History of Sketch Comedy highlights the essential building blocks of sketch comedy while interweaving Keegan's personal career journey and the influence of his comedy heroes.

As co-writer Elle Key likes to say, "If Keegan-Michael Key was a guest lecturer at NYU teaching a course called 'The History of Sketch Comedy,' it would be a very popular class."
EXCLUSIVE ESSAYS: Keegan and Elle interviewed over a dozen comedy legends exclusively for this book, and got their takes on topics ranging from the influence of Saturday Night Live, to women in comedy, to the mathematics of sketch.

Koubek je reportér života, ale toho, který nebývá na prvních stránkách novin, ba ani v černých kronikách. Života "obyčejného," vnímaného s "Koubkovskou" čistotou, života přibroušeného do krystalu. Nikoli efektně se lesknoucích, majestátních, ale tak
nějak přirozeně, nevycizelovaně ryzích.

Úvod do filozofie
V priebehu svojich dejín sa filozofia formovala a zaoberala množstvom otázok a problémov, na ktoré sa pokúšala hľadať odpovede a riešenia. Ako cesta hľadania pravdy a zmyslu sa stala neodmysliteľnou súčasťou ľudských dejín, ktoré priamo alebo nepriamo ovplyvňovala spoluúčasťou pri formovaní svetonázorových orientácii ľudí. Prešla vývojom od predvedeckej formy až k postupnému systematickému mysleniu, ktoré sa diferencovalo v rozličných filozofických disciplínach, ako ich poznáme dnes. Stala sa súčasťou života v súvislosti s hľadaním zmyslu a životnej orientácie, ako aj súčasťou vedeckého bádania, ktoré sa snaží systematicky premyslieť nastolené otázky.
Filozofovať však znamená viac, ako len si nezáväzne v dlhej chvíli položiť otázku o zmysle života. Je to zámer, ktorý vyplýva z nespokojnosti a túžby človeka po „inom“, ako aj túžby byť samým sebou. Preto sa filozofovanie môže stať „nebezpečným“, ak sa človek nachádza v prostredí, ktoré sa nekriticky riadi konformným správaním a myslením. Filozofia v takýchto situáciách zneisťuje a znepokojuje. Nie však kvôli neistote samej, ale kvôli túžbe poznať, ktorá sa s filozofickým hľadaním spája. Táto fundamentálna nespokojnosť vyplýva zo samotnej podstaty otázky ako takej, ktorá sa dotýka hraníc nášho poznania, našich istôt, tradícií a zabehnutého spôsobu života. Zvlášť je to nevyhnutné v dnešnej dobe médií, ktoré sa podľa J. Habermasa aktívne podieľajú na formovaní svetonázoru súčasného človeka, na vytváraní obrazu o našom svete a jeho interpretácii. Médiá v celom rozsahu prispievajú k našej predstave o čom je skutočný svet. Bez kritického myslenia filozofie je ťažké zostať nezávislým od splynutia s myslením davu.
Preto sa filozofické pýtanie môže stať problémom pre ľudí, ktorí sa zaistili vo vlastnom poznaní, tým, že ho považujú za definitívne. Takéto postoje nazýva Solovjov duchovnou lenivosťou, ktorá nás nabáda uspokojiť sa s málom, s tým čo je dané a hotové, čo si od nás nevyžaduje vnútorné úsilie. Minulosť nás však neustále presviedča, že ako vo filozofických, tak aj v náboženských dejinách priniesli posun práve tí myslitelia, ktorí sa odvážili pýtať na hranice. Ich odvaha bola prejavom sily ducha, slobody a tvorivosti, ktoré nenašli vždy porozumenie u druhých. Sú to tí, ktorých odvaha a sloboda bola často spojená s daňou, aj najvyššou. To je údel filozofie v konformnom prostredí. No len slobodný a poctivý filozofický prístup nás môže uchrániť pred duchovnou lenivosťou, ktorá vždy napomáhala zrodu ideologických systémov a praktík.
Filozofia nemôže zastať pred hranicou doposiaľ poznaného len preto, že sa obáva straty istoty a straty gnozeologického pohodlia. V duchu objasňovania a hlbšiemu porozumeniu bytia sa bude snažiť o neustále sebapresahovanie. To je vlastná povaha filozofie. Nesmieme si však pokrok filozofie zamieňať s technickým pokrokom, ktorý môžeme empirický merať.
Ekonomicko-technická mentalita súčasnej spoločnosti sa snaží presadiť tento rozmer aj v humanitných vedách. Mnohé podnety, ktoré priniesli dejiny filozofie však môžu byť nanovo premyslené v kontexte dnešných historických situácii. Vo filozofii totiž nejde len o neustále nové a originálne. Ak sme k sebe úprimní, musíme priznať, že mnohé z toho čo a ako myslíme, je vďaka tomu, čo sme si prečítali a osvojili. Dnešný filozof preto bude viac sprostredkovateľ idey ako ich tvorca. Môže to však robiť vždy novým originálnym spôsobom. Preto je potreba filozofie stále aktuálna. Vymieňanie a spoznávanie iných názorov v dialogickom diskurze nás posúva v riešení otázok a problémov, ktoré prináša doba. To ešte neznamená, že sa z času na čas neobjaví originálny mysliteľ s novými ideami, ale to nie je prvoradým cieľom filozofie. Šťastie však praje pripraveným.

How to Think Like a Philosopher
As politics slides toward impulsivity, and outrage bests rationality, how can philosophy help us critically engage with the world?
How to Think Like A Philosopher is a revelatory exploration of the methods, tenets and attitudes of thought that guide philosophy, and how they can be applied to our own lives.
Drawing on decades of enquiry and a huge range of interviews, Julian Baggini identifies twelve key principles that promote incisive thinking. Pay attention; question everything; seek clarity, not certainty: these are just a few of philosophy's guiding maxims which can be applied to everything from understanding the impact of climate change to correctly appraising our own temperaments.
Both a fresh introduction to philosophy covering canonical and contemporary philosophers, and an essential, practical guide to good thinking, How to Think Like a Philosopher shows us the way to a more humane, balanced and rational approach to thinking, to politics, and to life.

Two teenage girls fixated on each other's bodies enter into a destructive competition; a woman's encounter with her ex forces her to reflect on the women's group that saved her; a couple's future is called into question after the damp expert they hire for their bathroom offers them free counselling; an older man's buried grief emerges during an altercation with a mother driving a 4×4; and over the course of a bitter winter a waitress lacks the money to fix an impacted tooth as the cracks begin to show in her precariously balanced life.
Free Therapy takes us into the inner lives of women and men who are versed in the language of therapy, possessed with the self-knowledge needed to change their lives, but finding themselves unwilling to doing so. As her characters try and fail to connect - via sex, friendship, screens and work - Rebecca Ivory explores desire in all its forms, revealing the ways in which we posture and present, and the softness and insecurities that lie beneath.
Perfectly observed, wry and illuminated by moments of sympathy and wisdom, Free Therapy shows us ourselves as we truly are.

Yves Saint Laurent: Form and Fashion
Yves Saint Laurent invented a multitude of new silhouettes—minimalist, exuberant, round, ultra-structured—that eclipsed traditional forms in fashion.
A fashion revolutionary, Yves Saint Laurent and his creations were resolutely modern. His ongoing exploration of shape and form incessantly pushed the boundaries of his creativity, and lead to his most groundbreaking and iconic designs. His works were influenced by the artistic trends of the time?from simple and geometric abstraction to constructivism and concrete art?whose many movements mirror the multifaceted talent of the designer. A bold, exacting gesture underpinned his art: his minimalist dresses were often monochromatic compositions seemingly sprung from a single line. A colorist, he imagined pure yet exuberant abstract designs by juxtaposing flat surfaces in vibrant hues. Transposing pictorial material into textile, he thus balanced color, form, surface, and line. An illusionist, he would juxtapose black and white to suggest movement in the garment through optical illusion. By using flat, simple lines, shape prevailed over color.
This volume accompanies an exhibition at Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris from June 9, 2023 to January 14, 2024, which will feature key pieces from the Yves Saint Laurent archives in dialogue with the set design and works by ceramic artist Claudia Wieser.

Karl Lagerfeld: A Life in Houses
The first publication dedicated to Karl Lagerfeld’s glamorous homes, known for their eclectic interiors, ranging from the art deco to the ultramodern.
While Karl Lagerfeld was famous for being at the very center of the fashion industry for over half a century, he was equally opinionated when it came to interiors, which acted as a private creative outlet.
Following an introduction by Patrick Mauries, each house is introduced by a short text by Marie Kalt unveiling the history of Lagerfeld’s homes while identifying key designers and pieces. From his elegant art deco–inspired apartment in Saint-Sulpice, Paris, to the incredibly ornate eighteenth-century mansion Hôtel Pozzo di Borgo, Lagerfeld’s houses reveal he was a collector on a Renaissance scale as they showcase his spectacular range. Lagerfeld balanced the old with the new and moved from one atmosphere to the next, leaving a Memphis-designed apartment in Monte Carlo for a grand tour–themed Roman pied-a-terre, followed by bucolic French country houses and even a majestic Nordic villa in his native Hamburg.
Presented in a large, elegant format, Karl Lagerfeld: A Life in Houses will be a rich source of inspiration for those interested in interior design and will appeal to fans of the decorative arts and the fashion designer himself.

The 5 Resets
From Harvard stress expert, Dr. Aditi Nerurkar, comes a reimagined approach to overcoming your stress and burnout using five small but mighty mindset shifts.
Stress has a bad reputation but is actually a healthy biological phenomenon that helps us tackle life’s many demands. It simply becomes problematic when it’s out of tune with the frequency of our lives, resulting in burnout, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and many other physical symptoms. To bring stress back to healthy levels, Dr. Nerurkar offers her five science-backed mindset shifts for when life gets hard:
The First Reset: Get Clear on What Matters Most
The Second Reset: Find Quiet in a Noisy World
The Third Reset: Sync Your Brain and Your Body
The Fourth Reset: Come Up for Air
The Fifth Reset: Bring Your Best Self Forward
Dr. Nerurkar illuminates why our everyday attempts at being ‘resilient’ – like multitasking, sleeping less, and undergoing huge lifestyle overhauls – aren’t beneficial to our stressed brains. Instead, she prescribes practical, real-world solutions for our modern-day perils that are time efficient, cost-free, and can be applied to anyone’s life, including following the Resilience Rule of 2 (making no more than two changes at a time because doing more is unsustainable), accepting that multitasking is a myth (our brains are wired to do one thing at a time!), and adopting her Bookend Method (creating boundaries).
The five mindset shifts, along with fifteen proven techniques, offer you a road map to change your relationship with stress, bring your biology back into balance, and feel calmer right now.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves: The Druids Call
Explore the thrilling origins of the druid Doric in this original prequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
For as long as she can remember, Doric has felt alone. Abandoned by her human parents, she wandered for years before being taken in by a community of Neverwinter Wood elves. But her horns and tail proclaim a tiefling heritage, and even among the kindest of elves, her fledgling druidic abilities mark her as different from the rangers around her. And as humans begin to encroach farther and farther into the once pristine woods, Doric knows she needs to master her druidic capabilities if she is to be any help to her adopted family. With no means of helping Doric themselves, her guardians see no choice but to send her somewhere she can come into her own.
Tucked among the ancient pines of the Ardeep Forest hides the Emerald Enclave, an order of warriors tasked with preserving the natural world. They fight to maintain balance between the forces of the wild and civilization, and in doing so, protect the sanctity of each.
Among their order, Doric begins to find power in her differences. But not all her fellow initiates are so capable of new growth, and as her training continues, Doric is forced to confront the very beliefs that brought her into the Enclave’s fold. If she’s going to protect her home, she’ll have to reckon with her people, her power, and the walls she’s built to keep herself safe from both.
