The Queen of Nothing – A semmi királynője (A levegő népe 3.)
A hatalmat sokkal könnyebb megragadni, mint megtartani.
Jude alaposan megtanulta ezt a leckét, amikor mérhetetlen hatalomért cserébe lemondott a gonosz király, Cardan feletti uralmáról.
Tündérfölde száműzött halandó királynéjaként elveszettnek érzi magát, a semmi királynőjének. Ám megfogadja, hogy mindent visszaszerez, amit elvettek tőle. Az esély kétszínű ikertestvére, a szintén halandó Taryn képében érkezik meg, akinek az élete veszélybe kerül.
Jude kénytelen vállalni a kockázatot, és visszatérni a veszedelmes tündérudvarba, valamint szembenézni a Cardan iránti érzéseivel, hogy megmentse a nővére életét. Csakhogy sok minden megváltozott Elfhonban a távozása óta. Háború közeleg. Jude beférkőzik az ellenséges tábor mélyére, és ő maga is belekeveredik a véres politikai csatározásba.
Amikor egy eddig szunnyadó, ám igen erős átok elszabadul, pánik söpör végig a vidéken, és Jude választani kényszerül a becsvágya és az embersége között…
A levegő népe trilógiájának várva várt, döbbenetes fináléja.
Lacná kniha Lost Book of the White (-70%)
From #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Cassandra Clare and award-winning author Wesley Chu comes the second book in the Eldest Curses series, which continues the love story between Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. The Lost Book of the White is a Shadowhunters novel.
Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood are settling into domestic life with their son Max when the warlocks Ragnor Fell and Shinyun Jung break into their loft and steal a powerful spell book. Realizing that Ragnor and Shinyun are being controlled by a more sinister force, Magnus and Alec set out to stop them and recover the book before they can cause any more harm. With the help of Clary Fairchild, Jace Herondale, Isabelle Lightwood, and Simon Lovelace (who is fresh from the Shadowhunter Academy), they track the warlocks to Shanghai.
But nothing is as it seems. Ragnor and Shinyun are working at the behest of a Greater Demon. Their goal is to open a Portal from the demon realms to Earth, flooding the city of Shanghai with dangerous demons. When a violent encounter causes Magnus's magic to grow increasingly unstable, Alec and Magnus rally their friends to strike at the heart of the demon's power. But what they find there is far stranger and more nefarious than they ever could have expected...
This edition also includes a never-before-seen wedding scene featuring fan favourites from the Shadowhunters universe.

Lacná kniha Book of the Dead (-70%)
The Book of the Dead is the morgue log, the ledger in which all cases are entered by hand. For Kay Scarpetta, however, it is about to have a new meaning. Fresh from her bruising battle with a psychopath in Florida, Scarpetta decides its time for a c
hange of pace. Moving to the historic city of Charleston, South Carolina, she opens a unique private forensic pathology practice, one in which she and her colleagues offer expert crime scene investigation and autopsies to communities lacking local ac
cess to competent death investigation and modern technology. It seems like an ideal situation, until the murders and other violent deaths begin. A woman is ritualistically murdered in her multi-million-dollar beach home. The body of an abused young b
oy is found dumped in a desolate marsh. A sixteen-year-old tennis star is found nude and mutilated near Piazza Navona in Rome. Scarpetta has dealt with many brutal and unusual crimes before, but never a string of them as baffling, or as terrifying, a
s the ones before her now. Before she is through, that book of the dead will contain many names - and the pen may be poised to write her own.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať

Lacná kniha Sacred Book Of The Werewolf (-70%)
A. Huli, the heroine of Victor Pelevin's latest book, is beautiful, slender and curiously foxlike. She lives in Moscow and works as a classy prostitute in the city's premier hotels. But when a client goes inexplicably and fatally berserk at the sight of her in his luxury suite, A. Huli has to leave in a hurry. She decides to explore new avenues and place an ad on the internet - and that's when the trouble really starts. Victor Pelevin's new work of fiction is both a supernatural love story and an outrageously funny satirical portrait of modern Russia. With all his characteristic humour and metaphysical ambition, Pelevin introduces us to an unforgettable cast of perverts, former KGB agents, oil tycoons and amorous werewolves.

The Book of Dust

Fans
Fans takes the reader on a journey through a constellation of fandoms, and along the way demonstrates some fundamental truths about the human condition. Part behavioural study, part entertainment, at its heart the book is a story of collectives, of what happens to us when we interact with people who share our passions. The human brain is wired to reach out, and while our groupish tendencies can bring much strife (religious intolerance, racism, war, etc.), they are also the source of some of our greatest satisfactions.
Fandoms offer much of the pleasure of tribalism with little of the harm: a feeling of belonging and of shared culture, a sense of meaning and purpose, improved mental well-being, reassurance that our most outlandish convictions will be taken seriously, and the freedom to try to emulate (and dress like) our hero.
In Fans, Michael Bond explores the subject through the lens of social identity theory, a set of ideas used by social psychologists and anthropologists to understand how people behave in groups and why groups have such a profound effect on human culture.

A Court of Silver Flames
Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined A Court of Thorns and Roses series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta...
Nesta Archeron has always been prickly - proud, swift to anger and slow to forgive. And since the war - since being made High Fae against her will - she's struggled to forget the horrors she endured and find a place for herself within the strange and deadly Night Court.
The person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred, winged warrior who is there at Nesta's every turn. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. And when they are forced to train in battle together, sparks become flame.
As the threat of war casts its shadow over them once again, Nesta and Cassian must fight monsters from within and without if they are to stand a chance of halting the enemies of their court. But the ultimate risk will be searching for acceptance - and healing - in each other's arms.

Povedali o knihe:
Alica Priečinská, majiteľka firmy: Veľmi dobrá a zaujímavá kniha. Množstvo inšpiratívnych rád a krásnych a múdrych myšlienok na jednom mieste, ktoré nás môžu posunúť vpred. Ich používaním si môžeme začať uvedomovať, kto sme a čo chceme vo svojom živote dosiahnuť. Veľmi sa mi páči tá časť o prekonávaní strachu a partnerstve, to asi rieši každý jeden z nás. No vôbec si neuvedomujeme, ako funguje náš mozog a aké vzorce sme prebrali od našich rodičov. Až potom si to začneme všímať a začneme chcieť niečo s tým robiť. Výborná motivačná kniha, s ktorou baví pracovať.
Agáta Kleinová, certifikovaný kouč: Patríte k tým, ktorí nevedia kam a ako sa posunúť, alebo k tým, ktorí nevedia kde a kedy začať? Práve táto úžasná kniha bude pre vás skvelým návodom. Návodom ako začať a kvôli čomu je potrebné plánovať. A čo je vlastne cieľ? A ako si ho zadefinovať? Ako si splniť dávno vysnívané sny? Odpovede na všetky tieto otázky a aj iné, často kladené, nájdete práve v tejto knihe. A že to podľa tohto návodu aj funguje? Aj autori tejto knihy, Daniela a Zdenko Rau, sú toho skvelým príkladom. Žiť krásny život podľa vlastných snov a predstáv.

Portrait of a Judge. Book I
Publikace shrnuje nejvýznamnější výstupy z mezinárodního projektu organizovaného Litevskou univerzitou a realizovaného v rámci grantu ,,Norských fondů“, který je sice zjednodušeně označen jako ,,Portrét soudce“, ale s podtitulem „vícerozměrný model kompetencí, který má být měřen během postupu výběru, hodnocení a povyšování soudců". Je tak zřejmé, že je zaměřen na osobu a funkci ,,soudce“, přičemž zde na základě evropské srovnávací studie dochází autoři ke specifikování vhodných kompetencí, které mají být zjišťovány a měřeny v průběhu výběru soudců na první pozici, jejich hodnocení a povyšování, a to jak na vyšší soudy, tak při ustavování do manažerských postů soudů. Ve formě barevné grafické tabulky v druhé části knihy pak autoři přehledně uvádí soubor kompetencí, které se používají v procesu jmenování, hodnocení a povyšování soudců, jakož i kritéria a metody, jak měřit tyto kompetence. Tento model byl konstruován jako flexibilní, přičemž barvy semaforu označují, jaké požadavky, kritéria a metody jsou považovány za ,,dobré mít“ (zelené), až k těm, které, pokud jde o naše odborníky, by součástí postupů výběru, hodnocení a povyšování soudců být neměly (červené).
Realizace projektu ,,Portrét soudce“ také v širším kontextu vychází z četných záruk a aspektů nezávislosti soudnictví, zejména ve vztahu k výkonné moci, ale zohledňuje také postupný vliv judikatury na rozhodování soudů členských států Rady Evropy. Nezávislost soudnictví je jednou ze základních evropských hodnot, které vládnou právním státům a jejich ústavním systémům. Proto je tomuto problému věnována neustálá pozornost ve vědecké a pedagogické činnosti vysokých škol a výzkumných ústavů a samozřejmě i špičkových soudních institucí. I z tohoto důvodu je velmi cenná účast zástupců Nejvyššího soudu Litevské republiky, Vrchního soudu v Praze a Nejvyššího soudu Albánie, jakož i zástupců Nejvyšších rad soudnictví Litvy a Albánie.
