Emma (Oxford World´s Classics)
'I wonder what will become of her!' So speculate the friends and neighbours of Emma Woodhouse, the lovely, lively, wilful,and fallible heroine of Jane Austen's fourth published novel. Confident that she knows best, Emma schemes to find a suitable husband for her pliant friend Harriet, only to discover that she understands the feelings of others as little as she does her own heart. As Emma puzzles and blunders her way through the mysteries of her social world, Austen evokes for her readers a cast of unforgettable characters and a detailed portrait of a small town undergoing historical transition. Written with matchless wit and irony, judged by many to be her finest novel, Emma has been adapted many times for film and television. This new edition shows how Austen brilliantly turns the everyday into the exceptional.

Good to Great and the Social Sectors
'We must reject the idea - well-intentioned, but dead wrong - that the primary path to greatness in the social sectors is to become more like a business".' So begins this astonishingly blunt and timely manifesto by leading business thinker Jim Collins. Rejecting the belief, common among politicians, that all would be well in society if only the public sector operated more like the private sector, he sets out a radically new approach to creating successful hospitals, police forces, universities, charities, and other non-profit-making organisations. In the process he rejects many deep-rooted assumptions: that somehow it's possible to measure social bodies in purely financial terms; that they can be managed like traditional businesses; that they can be transformed simply by throwing money at them. Instead he argues for radical new attitudes and strategies, using the analytical approach and clear thinking that lie at the heart of Good to Great."

Vítejte na Spatterjay... kde náhlá smrt je normálním způsobem života.
Na odlehlou planetu Spatterjay přijíždějí tři pasažéři s velice rozdílnými úkoly. Janera tam posílá kolektivní mysl inteligentních sršňů; Erlin přijíždí hledat starého námořního ka
pitána, který by ji naučil žít; a Keech - sedm set let mrtvý - má nevyřízené účty s jedním notorickým zločincem. Spatterjay je vodní planeta, kde lidská populace žije v bezpečí Dómu. Pouze Hoopeři , napůl nesmrtelní, se mohou pohybovat mezi hrůznými,
nenasytnými formami místního života. Tam někde venku je i samotný Jay 'Spatter' Hoop . Agent Keech ví, že nedojde pokoje, dokud tohoto legendárního renegáta nepožene k spravedlnosti za kruté zločiny spáchané před několika stoletími při Pradorských v
álkách.
Keech netuší, že Hoopovo tělo pobíhá kdesi po opuštěném ostrově, zatímco živá hlava se vozí zavřená v truhle na lodi jednoho starého kapitána. Neví ani to, že nejkrutější Prador ze všech se chystá planetu navštívit a zahladit důkazy svých vál
ečných zvěrstev. To všechno znamená, že v této chaotické vodní krajině brzy propukne opravdové peklo.

Shadow of the Wind
Hidden in the heart of the old city of Barcelona is the 'cemetery of lost books', a labyrinthine library of obscure and forgotten titles that have long gone out of print. To this library, a man brings his 10-year-old son Daniel one cold morning in 1945. Daniel is allowed to choose one book from the shelves and pulls out 'La Sombra del Viento' by Julian Carax. But as he grows up, several people seem inordinately interested in his find. Then, one night, as he is wandering the old streets once more, Daniel is approached by a figure who reminds him of a character from La Sombra del Viento, a character who turns out to be the devil. This man is tracking down every last copy of Carax's work in order to burn them. What begins as a case of literary curiosity turns into a race to find out the truth behind the life and death of Julian Carax and to save those he left behind. A page-turning exploration of obsession in literature and love, and the places that obsession can lead.

The History of Astronomy: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Astronomy, perhaps the first of the sciences, was already well developed by the time of Christ. Seventeen centuries later, after Newton showed that the movements of the planets could be explained in terms of gravitation, it became the paradigm for the mathematical sciences. In the nineteenth century the analysis of star-light allowed astrophysicists to determine both the chemical composition and the radial velocities of celestial bodies, while the development of photography enabled distant objects invisible to the human eye, to be studied and measured in comfort. Technical developments during and since the Second World War have greatly enlarged the scope of the science by permitting the study of radiation. This is a fascinating introduction to the history of Western astronomy, from prehistoric times to the origins of astrophysics in the mid-nineteenth century. Historical records are first found in Babylon and Egypt, and after two millennia the arithmetical astronomy of the Babylonians merged with the Greek geometrical approach to culminate in the Almagest of Ptolemy. This legacy was transmitted to the Latin West via Islam, and led to Copernicus's claim that the Earth is in motion. In justifying this Kepler converted astronomy into a branch of dynamics, leading to Newton's universal law of gravity. The book concludes with eighteenth- and nineteenth-century applications of Newton's law, and the first explorations of the universe of stars.
Logic: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Logic is often perceived as having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of probability and decision theory. Along the way, the basics of formal logic are explained in simple, non-technical terms, showing that logic is a powerful and exciting part of modern philosophy.

Do temnoty - 2. svazek
Nejvyšší trůn Erkynu se kymácí, královská rodina je rozdělena a oslabena. Královna Miriamele se připletla do krvavého povstání na jihu a je považována za mrtvou. Jejího vnuka, pohřešovaného prince Morgana, zajme v sutinách opuštěného města obklíčeného Norny jedna z Bílých lišek. A král Simon, zdrcený žalem a beznadějí, netuší, že za mnoha tragédiemi z poslední doby stojí zrádce, který se skrývá mezi jeho nejbližšími na hayholtském dvoře. Na jihu využívají této slabosti stepní kočovníci, po dlouhé době sjednocení pod silným vůdcem, ale ta pravá hrozba přichází ze severu. Do Erkynu vpadla armáda Nornů vedená nesmrtelnou královnou Utuk’ku, jejíž plány zdaleka nekončí dobytím pohraniční pevnosti Naglimund, vyvražděním jejích obránců a ukořistěním bájné zbroje ze starého hrobu Ruyana Mořeplavce. Zdá se, že ani Sithové, příbuzní Nornů, nedokáží zabránit triumfu pomstychtivé královny se stříbrnou maskou, jejíž vojska táhnou na Hayholt a současně se snaží proniknout do odlehlého, zakázaného údolí Mlh – Tanakirú – kde čeká tajemství, které může Simonovi a jeho sithijským spojencům přinést záchranu – nebo zkázu. Tad Williams splétá ve třetí knize série Poslední král Východního Ardu přinejmenším tucet podmanivých příběhů a rozehrává tuto velkolepou fantasy partii k velkému finále.

Loveless
With special bonus content – a brand new story by Alice Oseman
WINNER OF THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2021
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, author of Solitaire and the graphic novel series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series.
It was all sinking in. I’d never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had ever met. What did that mean?
Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush – but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she’s sure she’ll find her person one day.
As she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia’s ready to find romance, and with her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her ‘teenage dream’ is in sight.
But when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her – asexual, aromantic – Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever.
Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along?
This wise, warm and witty story of identity and self-acceptance sees Alice Oseman on towering form as Georgia and her friends discover that true love isn’t limited to romance.
