Outside Looking In
One family's adventures in LSD: the brilliantly strange new novel from the mind of `one of the most inventive, adventurous and accomplished fiction writers in the US today' (Lionel Shriver)It is Harvard in the early 1960s. Just off campus, Dr Timothy Leary plays host for his PhD students, laying on a spread of cocktails, pizza and LSD. Among the guests is Fitzhugh Loney, a psychology student, and his librarian wife Joanie.
Married young, and both diligently and unglamorously toiling to support their son, they are not the sort of people one would expect to be seduced by the nascent drug culture. But their nights on LSD prove so extraordinary - so revelatory, so earth-shattering, so downright seductive - that Fitzhugh and Joanie are soon captive to the whims of the charismatic and subversive Dr Tim. Follow Fitzhugh and Joanie on their quest for transcendence, as sultry Mexican nights at Hotel Catalina give way to a ramshackle mansion in upstate New York, where thirty devotees - students, wives and children - play out the final act of a terrible, beautiful experiment.
Join us, won't you? It's going to be one hell of a trip.

The Power of Meaning
There is a myth in our culture that to find meaning you have to travel to a distant monastery or wade through dusty volumes to figure out life's great secret. The truth is, there are untapped sources of meaning all around us: right here, right now. Drawing on the latest research in positive psychology; on insights from George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle, the Buddha and other great minds, Emily Esfahani Smith identifies four pillars upon which meaning rests: Belonging, Purpose, Storytelling and Transcendence. She also explores how we can begin to build a culture of meaning into our families, our workplaces and our communities. Inspiring and full of contemporary examples, The Power of Meaning will strike a profound chord in anyone seeking a richer, more satisfying life.

Transcendence
A TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2019
'A wondrous, visionary work' Tim Flannery, scientist and author of the bestselling The Weather Makers
From the prize-winning author of Adventures in the Anthropocene, the astonishing story of how culture enabled us to become the most successful species on Earth
Humans are the most successful species on Earth; a planet-altering force of nature. Meanwhile, our closest living relatives, the now-endangered chimpanzees, continue to live as they have for millions of years. Yet we evolved through the same process. What are we then? And now we have remade the world, what are we becoming?
Setting out to answer this question, Gaia Vince retells our evolution story. Unlike any other species on earth we determine the course of our own destiny, something that she argues rests on a special relationship between our genes, environment and culture going back into deep time. It is our collective culture, rather than our individual intelligence, that makes humans unique. Vince shows how our four evolutionary drivers - Fire, Language, Beauty and Time - are further transforming our species into a superorganism: a hyper-cooperative mass of humanity that she calls Homo omnis, or 'Homni'. Drawing on cutting-edge advances in population genetics, archaeology, palaeontology and neuroscience, Transcendence compels us to reimagine ourselves, showing us to be on the brink of something grander - and potentially more destructive.
To think of humans as a smarter sort of chimp with cool tools is to miss what is truly extraordinary about us. Look around you: we are the intelligent designers of all you see - including ourselves.
Dirt
The year is 1985 and twenty-two-year-old Galen lives with his emotionally dependent mother in a secluded old house with a walnut orchard in a suburb of Sacramento, California. He doesn't know who his father is, his abusive grandfather is dead, and his grandmother, losing her memory, has been shipped off to a nursing home. Galen and his mother survive on old family money - an inheritance that his Aunt Helen and seventeen-year-old cousin, Jennifer, are determined to get their hands on. A bulimic vegetarian who considers himself an old soul, Galen is a New Age believer on a warpath toward transcendence. He yearns for transformation: to free himself from the corporeal, to be as weightless as air, to walk on water. But he's powerless to stop the manic binges that overtake him, leading him to gorge on meat and other forbidden desires, including sex. A prisoner of his body, he is obsessed with thoughts of the boldly flirtatious Jennifer, and dreams of shedding himself of the clinging mother whose fears and needs also weigh him down. When the family takes a trip to an old cabin in the Sierras, tensions crescendo. Caught in a compromising position, Galen will discover the shocking truth of just how far he will go to attain the transcendence he craves. A powerful and shocking account of a family imploding: a story of hatred, sex and violence, "Dirt" will cement David Vann's reputation as one of the most original and powerful writers of his generation.

Textiles The Whole Story
This vibrantly illustrated book is an original look at the myriad roles played by textiles in all aspects of human life, from ancient weavings to light-sensitive and other futuristic fabrics of our own era. Beverly Gordon discusses how textiles are a
n integral part of the human life journey from cradle to grave in a multitude of practical, symbolic and spiritual ways. The many uses of textiles in our everyday lives and their sources are illustrated, along with a discussion about how, as a valuab
le commodity, in some communities textiles function as money. Finally, the author outlines how textiles are a means of communication functional, political and artistic and a metaphor for transcendence. This book will captivate and inspire anyone who
has a passion for textiles and textile arts, whether educational, creative or professional.

The Snow Queen
Michael Cunningham’s luminous, compassionate new novel begins with a vision.
It’s November 2004. Barrett Meeks, having lost love yet again, is walking through Central Park when he is suddenly and inexplicably inspired to look up at the sky, where he sees a pale, translucent light that seems to regard him in a distinctly godlike way. Although Barrett doesn’t believe in visions – or in god, for that matter – he can’t deny what he’s seen.
At the same time, in the not-quite-gentrified Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, Beth, who’s engaged to Barrett’s older brother ,Tyler, is dying of colon cancer. Beth, Tyler, and Barrett have cobbled together a more or less happy home. Tyler, a struggling musician with a drug problem, is trying and failing to write a wedding song for his wife-to-be – something that will be not merely a sentimental ballad but an enduring expression of eternal love.
Barrett, haunted by the light, turns unexpectedly to religion. Tyler grows increasingly convinced that only drugs can release his deepest creative powers. Beth tries to face mortality with as much courage and stoicism as she can summon.
Cunningham follows the Meeks brothers as each turns down a decidedly different path in his search for transcendence. In subtle, lucid prose, he demonstrates a profound empathy for his conflicted characters and a singular understanding of what lies at the depth of the human soul.
‘The Snow Queen’, beautiful and heartbreaking, comic and tragic, proves once again that Cunningham is one of the great novelists of this generation.

Does Noise in my Head bother you?
The long-awaited, never-before-told, no-holds-barred memoir from the legendary Aerosmith frontman. Finally, all the lurid tales of debauchery, sex, drugs and rock n' roll are told straight from the horse's lips as The Demon of Screamin' describes his unimaginable highs and unbelievable lows as lead singer of the biggest rock band in the world. Prolific frontman, rock icon and sex symbol, Steven Tyler is a living legend. With his raw, sharp-edged vocals, musical versatility and unprecedented song writing skills, Tyler has, as lead singer of Aerosmith, sold millions of records and played sell-out concerts to as many as 450,000 people. Now, at last, he tells his own story, taking us on a wild rollercoaster ride through the bust-ups, binges, orgies and good old American excess in the jaw-droppingly honest, in-your-face way that only Tyler can. Following a fateful meeting with his 'mutant twin' Joe Perry in the summer of 1970, Aerosmith was formed!and the rest, as they say, is rock history. They released their first album in 1973, and by 1976 Aerosmith had gone from being nobodies to massive to off the radar, making history as a multi-platinum, chart-topping band. But with great success comes great excess. Nicknamed the Toxic Twins for their insatiable appetite for drugs, booze and women, Tyler and Perry got caught up in the glamour of self-destruction - smashing each other up with guitars, having seizures and passing out on stage. By 1980 it seemed that the band and its members were set to implode, but after successful stints in drug rehab, Aerosmith were back on track and better than ever. But although he may have given up his wicked, wicked ways, Tyler still enjoys talking about the bad old days. He has so many outrageous stories to tell, and he's gonna tell them all. All the uncensored, head-spinning tales of debauchery, sex, booze, transcendence and chemical dependence you will ever want to hear. As raucous, intoxicating and edgy as his music, this is the most outrageous rock n' roll autobiography of all time.

Paint at Black
Josie Tyrell, art model, teen runaway, and denizen of LA's 1980 punk rock scene, finds a chance at real love with art student Michael Faraday. A Harvard dropout and son of a renowned pianist, Michael introduces her to his spiritual quest and a world of sophistication she had never dreamed existed. But when she receives a call from the Los Angeles County Coroner, asking her to identify her lover's dead body, her bright dreams all turn to black. What happens to a dream when the dreamer is gone?" is the central question of Paint it Black, the story of the aftermath of Michael's death, and Josie's struggle to hold onto the true world he shared with her. As Josie searches for the key to understanding his death, she finds herself both repelled and attracted to Michael's pianist mother, Meredith, who holds Josie responsible for her son's torment. Soon, the two women find themselves drawn into a twisted relationship reflecting equal parts distrust and blind need. Passionate, wounded, fiercely alive, Josie Tyrell walks the brink of her own destruction as she fights to discover the meaning of Michael's death. With the luxurious prose and emotional intensity that are her hallmarks, Janet Fitch has written a spellbinding new novel about love, betrayal, and the possibility of transcendence."

Šifra mistra Leonarda (knižní edice) DVD
V Paříži byl zavražděn hlavní správce Louvru, Jacques Sauniére (Jean-Pierre Marielle). Ještě než zemřel, tak kolem sebe stačil naznačit spoustu symbolů a šifer. Na místo vraždy si policejní kapitán Bezu Fache (Jean Reno) povolává newyorského univerzitního profesora a uznávaného symbologa Roberta Langdona (Tom Hanks), který byl momentálně na přednáškovém turné v Paříži. Ten naznačuje Fachemu, co všechno mohou symboly znamenat. Za chvíli dorazí na místo činu i Sophie Neveuová (Audrey Tautou), která, pro změnu, pracuje na pařížském dešifrovacím oddělení. Oba si začínají uvědomovat, že je k sobě nepřihrála pouze shoda náhod, ale že Jacques Sauniére chce předat nějaké poselství. Začíná zběsilá honba, ve které se Robert se Sophií stávají zároveň hledači legendárního Svatého grálu a sami jsou kořistí pro policejního kapitána a ještě někoho. Tajemnějšího a mocnějšího, někoho, ze kterého má i samotný Vatikán husí kůži. To vše se odehrává v knižní předloze Da Vinci code (česky: Šifra mistra Leonarda), která se po celém světě stala bestsellerem díky tomu, že její autor Dan Brown, postavil na hlavu několik základních církevních dogmat, pomocí mnoha jednoduchých a přitom pádných faktů. Tuto církví odsuzovanou, kritiky poněkud vlažně a čtenáři velkolepě přijatou knižní předlohu se chystá na filmové plátno převést režisér Ron Howard (Apollo 13, Čistá duše). Milovníky knihy by měl nechat alespoň v částečném klidu fakt, že samotný Dan Brown by se měl částečně podílet i na scénáři filmu.

Doktor WillCaster (JohnnyDepp) je špičkovým odborníkem v oblasti umělé inteligence, který touží sestavit stroj, jenž dokáže soustředit veškeré kolektivní vědění i vědomí lidstva. Jeho velmi kontroverzní experimenty ho učinily slavným, ale zároveň se stal i cílem odpůrců této technologie, kteří udělají vše, aby ho zastavili.
Pokusy zničit Willa ale celý experiment neodvratně uspíší a Will sám se stane hlavním hrdinou procesu transcendence. Jeho kolegové, manželka Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) a nejlepší přítel Max Waters (Paul Bettany), si nekladou otázku, zda je to možné, ale zda je to správné.
Jejich nejhorší obavy se stanou skutečností, když se Willova touha po vědění změní ve snahu po neomezené moci. Jediná věc se zdá jasná. Možná neexistuje způsob, jak ho zastavit.

Addison Cooke a poklad Inkov
Dvanásťročný Addison Cooke nesmierne túži prežiť čosi vzrušujúce. Kým jeho teta a strýko, svetoznámi archeológovia z Newyorského múzea, cestujú po svete a hľadajú ukryté poklady, Addison trčí celé dni v škole. Jedného dňa si však dobrodružstvo nájde aj Addisona. Keď jeho strýko objaví starodávny inkský kľúč, potrebný na nájdenie strateného pokladu, unesú ho členovia tajomnej organizácie, aby sa zmocnili skrytého bohatstva Inkov… Iba ak by Addison a jeho priatelia predbehli únoscov a prelomili šifru ako prví!
Čo im v tom môže zabrániť?! Je tu rieka hladných krokodílov. Divoký kmeň bojovníkov z amazonského pralesa. Vlastne aj jaskyňa plná pascí… A zabijak menom Zubov a bláznivá nevesta na gangsterskej svadbe a tisíce netopierov a jedna úžasná automobilová naháňačka.
Takže, ide sa do Kolumbie!
