Lacná kniha Therese Raquin
Emile Zola was a French novelist who wrote in the school of naturalism and is noted for his work in revolutionizing France. The Rougon-Macquart series brought Zola literary fame and is considered his life work. It took 25 years to finish the 20 volumes. The idea of writing the social history of a family encompassing several volumes probably came from his reading the works of Balzac. Zola shows how people in a family who appear to be quite individualistic are actually quite similar. Heredity and proximity determine who we are and how we act. Theresa Raquin was first published in 1867 in serial form in L; Artiste. In 1873 Zola turned the novel into a play. In Theresa Raquin a well-intentioned aunt marries a young woman to her first cousin. Camille is sickly and selfish, and when the opportunity arises, Thrse enters into a tragic affair with Camille's friend Laurent. Zola called this novel a scientific study of temperament instead of a character study making it an example of naturalism.

The Hundredth Man
A darkly compelling serial-killer novel introducing the next big name in psychological thrillers and, in Carson Ryder, a fascinating and complex protagonist set for many books to come. A body is found in the sweating heat of an Alabama night, headless, words inked on the skin. Detective Carson Ryder is good at this sort of thing -- crazies and freaks. To his eyes it is no crime of passion, and when another mutilated victim turns up his suspicions are confirmed. This is not the work of a 'normal' murderer, but that of a serial killer, a psychopath. Famous for solving a series of crimes the year before, Carson Ryder has experience with psychopaths. But he had help with that case -- strange help, from a past Ryder is trying to forget. Now he needs it again. When the truth finally begins to dawn, it shines on an evil so twisted, so dangerous, it could destroy everything that he cares about!

The Great Economists
What can the ideas of history's greatest economists tell us about the most important issues of our time?
'The best place to start to learn about the very greatest economists of all time' Professor Tyler Cowen, author of The Complacent Class and The Great Stagnation
Since the days of Adam Smith, economists have grappled with a series of familiar problems - but often their ideas are hard to digest, before we even try to apply them to today's issues. Linda Yueh is renowned for her combination of erudition, as an accomplished economist herself, and accessibility, as a leading writer and broadcaster in this field; and in The Great Economists she explains the key thoughts of history's greatest economists, how their lives and times affected their ideas, how our lives have been influenced by their work, and how they could help with the policy challenges that we face today.
In the light of current economic problems, and in particular economic growth, Yueh explores the thoughts of economists from Adam Smith and David Ricardo through Joan Robinson and Milton Friedman to Douglass North and Robert Solow. Along the way she asks, for example: what do the ideas of Karl Marx tell us about the likely future for the Chinese economy? How does the work of John Maynard Keynes, who argued for government spending to create full employment, help us think about state investment? And with globalization in trouble, what can we learn about handling Brexit and Trumpism?
In one accessible volume, this expert new voice provides an overarching guide to the biggest questions of our time.
The Great Economists includes:
Adam Smith
David Ricardo
Karl Marx
Alfred Marshall
Irving Fisher
John Maynard Keynes
Joseph Schumpeter
Friedrich Hayek
Joan Robinson
Milton Friedman
Douglass North
Robert Solow
'Economics students, like others, can learn a lot from this book' - Professor Paul Collier, author of The Bottom Billion
'Not only a great way to learn in an easily readable manner about some of the greatest economic influences of the past, but also a good way to test your own a priori assumptions about some of the big challenges of our time.' - Lord Jim O'Neill, former Chairman at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, former UK Treasury Minister, and author of The Growth Map
'An extremely engaging survey of the lifetimes and ideas of the great thinkers of economic history.' - Professor Kenneth Rogoff, author of The Curse of Cash and co-author of This Time is Different
'This book is a very readable introduction to the lives and thinking of the greats.' - Professor Raghuram Rajan, former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, and author of I Do What I Do and Fault Lines
'Read it not only to learn about the world's great economists, but also to see how consequential thought innovations can be, and have been.' - Mohamed el-Erian, Chief Economic Adviser at Allianz, former CEO of PIMCO

Child 44
It is a society that is, officially, a paradise. Superior to the decadent West, Stalin's Soviet Union is a haven for its citizens, providing for all of their needs: education, health care, security. In exchange, all that is required is their hard work, and their loyalty and faith to the Soviet State.Leo Demidov knows this better than most. A rising, prominent oficer in the State Security force, Leo is a former war hero whose only ambition is to serve his country. To defend this workers' paradise--and to guarantee a secure life for his parents, and for his wife, Raisa--Leo has spent his career guarding against threats to the State. Ideological crimes--crimes of thought, crimes of disloyalty, crimes against the revolution--are forcefully suppressed, without question. And then the impossible happens. A different kind of criminal--a murderer--is on the loose, killing at will. At the same time, Leo finds himself demoted and denounced by his enemies, all but sentenced to death. The only way to salvage what remains of his life is to uncover this criminal. But in a society that is officially paradise, it's a crime against the state to suggest that a murderer--much less a serial killer--is in their midst. To save his life and the lives of his family, Leo must confront the vast resources and reach of the security forces with only Raisa remaining at his side, to find and stop a criminal that the State won't admit even exists.

Tavaszi divatőrület - Hanga és Várkony II.
A HANGA ÉS VÁRKONY regényekben a klasszikus ifjúsági kalandregények és a krimi legjobb, legnemesebb hagyományai elevenednek meg, olyan remek ötvözetben, ahogy azt például Erick Kästner Emil-könyveiben már megtanulhattuk.
A kiskamasz főhősök, Hanga és Várkony alakja köré szerveződő történetekben kitalált, mégis nagyon ismerős, könnyen (meg)szerethető hazai helyszíneken játszódnak az események.
Kövesparton megnyílik a Különleges Holmik Boltja. Focis relikviák, dedikált pólók, limitált szériás pc-játékok… Várkony és a többi iskolás szinte minden szabad idejét a ritkaságok böngészésével tölti. Csak Hanga sejti, hogy valami nincs rendben az üzlettel, annak ellenére, hogy tulajdonosa, a meseszép Marinetta kisasszony gyereket és felnőttet egyaránt megbabonáz. Vagy talán éppen azért…

Sex Lives of Siamese Twins
Lesbian passion, clinical obesity, murder, conjoined twins, and huge servings of food, sex and filthy language: it's the brand-new Irvine Welsh...When Lucy Brennan, a Miami Beach personal-fitness trainer, disarms an apparently crazed gunman chasing two frightened homeless men along a deserted causeway at night, the police and the breaking-news cameras are not far behind. Within hours, Lucy becomes a hero. Her celebrity is short-lived, though: the 'crazed gunman', Sean McCandless, turns out to be a victim of child sexual abuse and the two men are serial paedophiles. The solitary eye-witness, the depressed and overweight Lena Sorensen, thrilled by Lucy's heroism and decisiveness, becomes obsessed with the trainer and enrols as a client at her Bodysculpt gym. It quickly becomes clear that Lena is more interested in Lucy's body than her own. Then, when one of the paedophiles she allowed to escape carries out a heinous sex attack, Lucy's transition from hero to villain is complete. When Lucy imprisons Lena in her mother's deserted real-estate blocks downtown, and can't stop thinking about the sex lives of Siamese twins, the real problems start...In the aggressive, drill-sergeant trainer, Lucy Brennan, and the needy, manipulative Lena Sorensen, Irvine Welsh has created two of his most memorable female protagonists, and one of the most bizarre, sado-masochistic folie a deux in contemporary fiction. The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins taps into two great obsessions of our time, personal training regimes and real estate - how we look and where we live - and tells a story so subversive and dark it blacks out the Florida sun.

hajnali 3
Felkavaró versek az éjszaka mélyéről, amikor minden megtörténhet.
Varga Mátyás legújabb kötetében hangokat hallunk: emberek szólítják, szólongatják egymást. Szavaikban félelmek, emlékek és vágyak fogalmazódnak meg, s hol kétségbeesetten, hol meg beletörődéssel, szinte derűvel kutatják az események értelmét, építik szabadságukat és tanulják a felejtést. Megszólalásuk terét a sorsok illeszkedésének sajátos, ismétlődő ideiglenessége képezi. Talán abban bíznak, hogy meghallja őket valaki, de az is lehet, hogy már csak merő megszokásból ragaszkodnak élesre koptatott - önigazoló, vagy magukat is leleplező - mondataikhoz. Kik ezek? Talán ők hárman. Talán távoli rokonaink, vagy közeli ismerőseink. De az is lehet, hogy mi magunk vagyunk.
A "hajnali 3" cikluscímei és a kötet szerkezete több ponton is utal a négyszáz éve elhunyt zeneszerző, Carlo Gesualdo rendkívüli vokális művére, amelyet "Tenebrae" címen emleget a zenetörténet. Gesulado nagycsütörtök (feria quinta) nagypéntek (feria sexta) és nagyszombat (sabbato sancto) reggelre írt responsorium-gyűjteménye s a zeneszerző botrányos élete (harmincévesen tetten éri, majd megöli a feleségét és annak szeretőjét) pedig olyan metakontextust képez, amely egyidejűleg olvassa újra és felejti el azt a történetet.
A "hajnali 3" verseinek intenzitása az éjszaka (a tenebrae) legmélyéről felhozott szavakból fakad. Felkavaróak és gyógyítóak.

My Friend Dahmer
My Friend Dahmer is the hauntingly original graphic novel by Derf Backderf, the award winning political cartoonist. In these pages, Backderf tries to make sense of Jeffery Dahmer, the future serial killer with whom he shared classrooms, hallways, libraries and car rides. What emerges is a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a young man struggling helplessly against the urges, some ghastly, bubbling up from the deep recesses of his psyche. The Dahmer recounted here, although universally regarded as an inhumane monster, is a lonely oddball who, in reality, is all too human. A shy kid sucked inexorably into madness while the adults in his life fail him. The crimes Dahmer committed are incredibly depraved, infamous and unforgettable, but in My Friend Dahmer Backderf provides profound (and at times, even strangely comic) insight into how, and more important, why Jeffery Dahmer transformed from a high school nerd into the most depraved serial killer since Jack the Ripper, coming as close as anyone yet has to explaining the seemingly unexplainable phenomenon of Jeffery Dahmer.

Bezdrátové Řízení Pomocí Sms
Tato publikace popisuje základní zásady ochrany objektů, střežených pomocí mobilního telefonu (mobilu) voláním a s předáváním výstražných SMS zpráv. Podrobně uvádí aplikace komunikačního procesoru GB050 firmy Level, vybaveného programem (firmware GSM) ve spojení s klasickým mobilním telefonem, kdy pomocí SMS zpráv lze v jednom směru předávat zprávy a v druhém příkazy. Stejně podrobně je rozebráno použití komunikačního procesoru PAG1, který vyvinul Tomáš Flajzar, s poplašným voláním a posíláním SMS zpráv v jednom směru. Nakonec je popsána jednoduchá úprava libovolného mobilu pro využití k přenosu varovného volání. Ostatní podobné systémy jsou zmíněny pouze okrajově a laskavý čtenář si je musí nastudovat z jiných zdrojů.
Komunikačním procesorem GB050 je vytvořena GSM brána, kterou lze softwarově nakonfigurovat vývojovým prostředním. Toto vývojové prostředí je vlastně program pro PC, ve kterém se do komunikačního procesoru GB050 zadávají požadované parametry jeho činnosti. Vyplývá z toho tedy, že komunikační procesor GB050 je nutno pro jeho specifickou činnost vždy nakonfigurovat vývojovým prostředím, které je dodáváno spolu s komunikačním procesorem GB050.
Komunikačním procesorem PAG1 se ovládá mobilní telefon, obsahující všechny potřebné údaje (telefonní čísla a text zpráv) vložené přes klávesnici mobilu a tak tento komunikační procesor programování přes PC nepotřebuje.
U nejjednoduššího provedení pageru je vlastně komunikační procesor tvořen pouze připájenou dvoulinkou, takže cena tohoto pageru je skutečně minimální.
Samozřejmě mobilní telefon (označme jej jako interní, tj. ten co je připojen ke komunikačnímu procesoru) musí být vybaven SIM kartou, aktivovanou pro některého z operátorů, tj. interní mobilní telefon v této sadě musí mít zadanou informaci, na kterém telefonním čísle přijímá operátor SMS zprávy, aby je dále doručil adresátovi. Zjednodušeně se dá říci, že tento interní telefon musí být schopen odesílat SMS i zprávy, „napsané" na jeho klávesnici.
Přenos informací pomocí GSM brány má své výhody i nevýhody. Nevýhodou je zejména jistá nejistota v doručení zprávy, kdy do přenosu vstupuje GSM operátor, který může např. místní buňku pro přenos GSM zpráv i dočasně odstavit z provozu. Za další nevýhodu je možno považovat při velkém počtu přenášených zpráv i jejich cenu. Fatální nevýhodou je místní nepokrytí signálem, ale počet nepokrytých míst v republice stále klesá.
Naopak mezi výhody GSM bran a přenosu informací přes ně pomocí SMS patří spojení na jakékoliv vzdálenosti (i celosvětově), možnost povelování a přijímání zpráv běžným mobilním telefonem, který dnes téměř všichni nosíme jako doplněk oblečení (nejsme vázáni na speciální zařízení, které bychom museli nosit navíc k mobilnímu telefonu) a konečně výhoda klasické pošty pomocí SMS, tj. zpráva je uložena ve středisku SMS informací a dodána do externího mobilního telefonu (nazývejme tak ten telefon, co nosíme s sebou) v nejbližším možném termínu (po zapnutí externího mobilního telefonu, po získání signálu operátora) a v něm i uložena dokud ji nevymažeme (spolu s časem odeslání, tj. kdy došlo k události, hlášené z interního mobilního telefonu na externí mobilní telefon pomocí SMS).
V knize je také obsažen přehled GSM bran a pagerů, které jsou (byly v době sestavování publikace) na trhu k mání. Na tomto místě je největší prostor věnován pagerům BraMo (jejichž konstrukce je volně dostupná na Internetu), výrobkům firmy LEVEL Náchod a GSM zařízením ostravské firmy VYSOCKÝ.
Tato kniha by měla pomoci k rozšíření řízení a přenosu zabezpečovacích zpráv v ČR stejně jako je tomu dnes i v zahraničí a speciálně v oblasti zabezpečovací techniky pomocí tzv. tichého alarmu.

Darkly Dreaming Dexter (TV Tie-in)
Dexter Morgan isn't exactly the kind of man you'd bring home to your mum. At heart, he's the perfect gentleman: he has a shy girlfriend, and seems to lead a quiet, normal life bordering on the mundane. Despite the fact that he can't stand the sight of blood, he works as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami police. But Dexter also has a secret hobby: he is an accomplished serial killer. So far, he's killed 36 people and has never been caught because he knows exactly how to hide the evidence. And while that may lead some people to assume he's not such a nice guy, he tempers his insatiable hunger for brutality by only killing the bad guys. However, Dexter's well-organised life is suddenly disrupted when a second, much more visible serial killer appears in Miami. Intrigued that the other killer favours a style similar to his own, Dexter soon realises that the mysterious new arrival is not simply invading his turf but offering him a direct invitation to 'come out and play'...

Weatherland
The story of English culture over a thousand years can be told as the story of changing ideas about the weather. Writers and artists across the centuries, looking up at the same skies and walking in the same brisk air, have felt very different things. In a sweeping panorama, Weatherland allows us to witness cultural climates on the move. The Anglo-Saxons before the Norman Conquest lived in a wintry world, writing about the coldness of exile or the shelters they must defend against enemies outdoors. The Middle Ages brought the warmth of spring; the new lyrics were sung in praise of blossom and cuckoos. It is hard to find a description of a rainy night before 1700, but by the end of the eighteenth century the Romantics will take a squall as fit subject for their most probing thoughts. There have been times when the numbers on a rain gauge count for more than a pantheon of aerial gods. There have been times for meteoric marvels and times for gentle breeze. The weather is vast and yet we experience it intimately, which is why Alexandra Harris builds her remarkable story from small evocative details. There is the drawing of a twelfth-century man in February, warming bare toes by the fire. There is the tiny glass left behind from the Frost Fair of 1684, and the Sunspan house in Angmering that embodies the bright ambitions of the 1930s. Harris catches the distinct voices of compelling individuals. Bloody cold, says Jonathan Swift in the slobbery January of 1713. Percy Shelley wants to become a cloud and John Ruskin wants to bottle one. Weatherland is a celebration of English air and a life-story of those who have lived in it. As we enter what may be the last decades of English weather as we know it, this is a history for our times.

Danger is STILL Everywhere: Beware of the Dog Danger is Everywhere book 2
Danger is Still Everywhere: Beware of the Dog! Will Docter Noel Zone's second book tell you how to combat a Crocumm? Yes. And reveal the secrets of the world's greatest (and only) Dangerologist? That Too. Has he written it yet? No. Is it because he's hiding in a wardrobe? Maybe. Docter Noel is facing his most terrifying situation Ever - a little dog called Napkin has come to stay. That may not sound particularly dangerous, but every POD (Pupil of Dangerology) knows the only safe pet is a pet rock. So now Docter Noel is hiding in a wardrobe while Napkin wreaks havoc around the Dangerzone. And all the while Docter Noel is supposed to be writing his new Very Important handbook on Dangerology (Level 2). That is until the Pet of the Year (POTY) contest is announced and Docter Noel hatches a plan. There's only one problem. Serial safety-flouter Max WURST is the judge...For Docter Noel, it's never been clearer that Danger is Still Everywhere: A crocodile that looks like a vacuum cleaner that lives under the stairs. Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets The Dangerous Book for Boys, Danger is Still Everywhere is the second brilliantly funny handbook for avoiding danger of all kinds that will have everyone from reluctant readers to bookworms laughing out loud (very safely) from start to finish. Praise for Danger is Still Everywhere: "I dislocated my jaw laughing." (Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl). "A brilliantly silly survival guide." (Sunday Express). "A Joyful riposte to over-cautious parents...well-paced and funny throughout." (Time Out London). "Imagine the Mighty Boosh crashed into the Wimpy Kid." (The Times). "A surreal, daft and funny book...A bracing satirical sideswipe at today's health-and-safety culture, aimed at kids who'll get the irony and relish the silliness." (Financial Times). "Brilliantly funny." (Gransnet). "A brilliantly mapcap guide" (ni4Kids.com). "Laugh-out-loud." (TheSchoolRun.comcom).

When the Killing's Done
How can you talk about being civil when innocent animals are being tortured to death? Civil? I'll be civil when the killing's done.' The island of Anacapa, off the coast of California, is overrun with black rats which are threatening the ancient population of ground-nesting birds. Alma Boyd Takesue of the National Park Service is the spokesperson for a campaign to exterminate these man-introduced rodents once and for all. Alma, highly self-disciplined with a stubborn streak, speaks as a conservationist, though the fact that her grandmother was once stranded on Anacapa for three weeks with nothing but thousands of crawling rats for company might explain some of her zeal. With days to go before the aerial rat-poisoning, Alma's plan is in danger of sabotage. Dave LaJoy and Anise Reed, a pair of notorious environmental activists, are recognisable from a distance by his knotted dreadlocks and her flame-red cyclone of hair. Dave is an electronics salesman with barely-controlled rages, for whom the plight of the rats is yet another of life's many injustices, along with lazy tramps and second-rate wine. Anise is a struggling folk singer with her own, terrible reasons for getting involved in 'the cause'. From the outset, Alma, Dave and Anise are at ideological loggerheads. But when Alma's sights turn to the infestation of non-native pigs on Santa Cruz - where Anise was brought up by her single mother and a clan of ranchers - the stakes are raised, and the debate threatens to boil over into something much more real...When the Killing's Done is T.C. Boyle's blistering new novel, a sweeping epic of family, ecology and the right to life - no matter what the fallout.

Black House
In the seemingly paradisal Wisconsin town of French Landing, small distortions disturb the beauty: a talking crow, an old man obeying strange internal marching orders, a house that is both there and not quite there. And roaming the town is a terrible fiend nicknamed the Fisherman, who is abducting and murdering small children and eating their flesh. The sheriff desperately wants the help of a retired Los Angeles cop, who once collared another serial killer in a neighboring town.
