Funny You Should Ask
Ten years later and she still has butterflies. But does he feel the same way?
Then. Twenty-something writer Chani Horowitz is stuck. While her former classmates are nabbing high-profile book deals, all she does is churn out puff pieces. Then she's hired to write a profile of movie star Gabe Parker: her number one celebrity crush and the latest James Bond. All Chani wants to do is keep her cool and nail the piece. But what comes next proves to be life changing in ways she never saw coming, as the interview turns into a whirlwind weekend that has the tabloids buzzing - and Chani getting closer to Gabe than she had planned.
Now. Ten years later, after a brutal divorce and a healthy dose of therapy, Chani is back in Los Angeles as a successful writer with the career of her dreams. Except that no matter what she's promoting, someone always asks about The Profile. It always comes back to Gabe. So when his PR team requests that they reunite for a second interview, she wants to say no. She wants to pretend that she's forgotten about the time they spent together. But the truth is that Chani wants to know if those seventy-two hours were as memorable to Gabe as they were to her. And so . . . she says yes.
Alternating between their first meeting and their reunion a decade later, this deliciously irresistible novel will have you hanging on until the last word.

She/He/They/Me
An accessible guide for learning about gender identity for those questioning their own genders, generally curious about gender, or interested in better understanding someone else's identity.
If you've ever questioned the logic of basing an entire identity around what you have between your legs, it's time to embark on a daring escape outside of the binary box. Written in a choose-your-own path style, you'll explore over one hundred different scenarios that embrace nearly every definition of gender around the globe and throughout history in a refreshingly creative exploration of the ways gender colors and shapes our world.
In She/He/They/Me, Dr. Robyn Ryle, professor of sociology and gender studies at Hanover College in Indiana, thoughtfully discusses gender constructs, expectations, and transitions along with covering everything from the science, biology, and psychology of gender to the philosophy, legality and societal implications.
This is a must-read for better understanding and celebrating LGBTQ+, nonbinary, and transgender identities and a great resource for parents of gender queer kids.

Lacná kniha If Only They Didn't Speak English (-70%)
As the BBC's North America Editor, Jon Sopel has had a pretty busy time of it lately. In the 18 months it's taken for a reality star to go from laughingstock to leader of the free world, Jon has travelled the length and breadth of the United States, experiencing it from a perspective that most of us could only dream of: he has flown aboard Air Force One, interviewed President Obama and has even been described as `a beauty' by none other than Donald Trump. Through music, film, literature, TV and even through the food we eat and the clothes that we wear we all have a highly developed sense of what America is and through our shared, tangled history we claim a special relationship. But America today feels about as alien a country as you could imagine. It is fearful, angry and impatient for change. Reflecting on his journey across the continent to cover the most turbulent race in recent history, Jon Sopel lifts a lid on the seething resentments, profound anxieties and sheer rage that found its embodiment in a brash, unpredictable and seemingly unstoppable figure. In this fascinating, insightful portrait of American life and politics, Jon sets out to answer our questions about a country that once stood for the grandest of dreams but which is now mired in a storm of political extremism, racial division and increasingly perverse beliefs.

Příště bude všechno dobrý
Ve své třetí knize se Lene Ask vzdaluje od autobiografie, která je typická pro její první dvě knihy. Vypráví zde příběh knihovnice Marit, která vyrostla na vesnici, ale vystudovala v Oslu, kde nyní pracuje. Její vztah k matce i k rodné vesnicí je napjatý, ale když Maritin otec zemře, je třeba tento vztah nově vymezit. S neúnavným idealismem se hrdinka snaží činit správná rozhodnutí, ale jak příběh postupuje, nové zkušenosti ji učí, co je v životě podstatné. Lene Ask opět ukazuje, že má schopnost popsat lidi velmi empaticky a uvěřitelně. Lehce střídá velká existenciální témata s malými každodenními událostmi, aby příběh čtenáře vtáhl a zároveň neztratil koncentrovanost. Její jasná kresba a efektivní využití barev pohání příběh vpřed a podepírá charakteristiky postav.
Why We Remember
We talk about memory as a record of the past, but here's a surprising twist: we aren't supposed to remember everything. In fact, we're designed to forget. Over the course of twenty-five years, Charan Ranganath has studied the seemingly selective and unreliable nature of human memory to find that our brains haven't evolved to keep a comprehensive record of events, but to extract the information needed to guide our futures.
Using fascinating case studies and testimonies, Why We Remember unveils the principles behind what and why we forget and shines new light on the silent, pervasive influence of memory on how we learn, heal and make decisions. By examining the role that attention, intention, imagination and emotion play in the storing of memories, it provides a vital user's guide to remembering what we hold most dear.
Why Politics Fails
Why do the revolving doors of power always leave us disappointed? In Why Politics Fails, award-winning Oxford professor Ben Ansell shows that it's not the politicians that are the problem, it's that our collective goals result in five political 'traps'.
Democracy: we all want a say in how we're governed, but it's impossible to have any true 'will of the people'. Equality: we want to be treated equally, but equal rights and equal outcomes undermine each other. Solidarity: we want a safety net when times are tough, but often we care about solidarity only when we need it ourselves.
Security: we want protecting from harm, but not if it undermines our freedoms. Prosperity: we want to be richer tomorrow, but what makes us richer in the short run makes us poorer over the long haul.
You've probably noticed a pattern here, which is that our self-interest undermines our ability to deliver on our collective goals. And these traps reinforce one another, so a polarized democracy can worsen inequality; a threadbare social safety net can worsen crime; runaway climate change will threaten global peace.
Drawing on examples from Ancient Greece through Brexit and using his own counterintuitive and pathbreaking research - on why democracy thrives under high inequality, and how increased political and social equality can lead to greater class inequality - Ansell vividly illustrates how we can escape the political traps of our imperfect world.
He shows that politics won't end, but that it doesn't have to fail.
How to ask a professor
Publikace se věnuje zdvořilostním strategiím, které volí čeští univerzitní studenti při kontaktu s fakultou. Kniha se věnuje i zdvořilosti v České republice, např. diglosii (kontextům, v nichž je užívána spisovná či obecná čeština), jmennému a zájmennému oslovování v české společnosti a české akademické sféře, formulování žádostí v češtině v kontrastu k angličtině a dalším jazykům. Kniha zahrnuje dvě studie týkající se studentských žádostí adresovaných fakultě, první se věnuje e-mailům obsahujícím žádost o informaci, druhá analyzuje dotazy zveřejněné na studentském informačním webovém fóru. Pozornost je věnována oslovování, úvodním a závěrečným formulím, míře přímosti vyjádření a gramatickým, lexikálním i dalším modifikačním prostředkům.

Miss Marple senses danger when she visits a friend living in Stoneygates, a rehabilitation center for delinquents. Her fears are confirmed when someone shoots at the administrator. Although he is not injured, a mysterious visitor is less fortunate—shot dead simultaneously in another part of the building.
Pure coincidence? Miss Marple thinks not, and must use all her cunning to solve the riddle of the stranger’s visit … and his murder.
Why So Easily ...
Sociologický esej vychází po třech desetiletích od svého vzniku v anglickém vydání. Vypráví příběh o tom, jak despotický socialistický stát v padesátých letech nejprve vyvlastnil rodinu, tedy soukromou sféru života, aby se nakonec dočkal toho, že rodina kolonizovala stát. Přenáší nás do myšlení přelomové doby svého vzniku a přináší stále platná vysvětlení nejníže položených příčin pádu starého režimu, tedy soukromých aspirací a vynucených strategií velmi různých skupin bezejmenných sociálních aktérů starého režimu, těch dole i těch nahoře, které vedly nakonec k tomu, že tu nezbyl téměř nikdo, kdo by měl zájem na jeho dalším udržení.
