Jedovatí hadi
S rozvojem amatérského chovu exotických jedovatých hadů v České republice v 80. a 90. letech 20. století přibýval i počet případů uštknutí chovatelů. Uštknutí některými druhy exotických jedovatých hadů může mít velmi závažný průběh, končící smrtelně
nebo trvalými následky, a ani uštknutí naší domácí zmijí obecnou (Vipera berus) nelze podceňovat. Úspěšná terapie intoxikace hadími jedy vyžaduje vzácné spojení znalostí akutní medicíny a toxinologie hadích jedů, nebo alespoň didaktický návod postupu
první pomoci a léčby. V české odborné literatuře již dlouho chyběla monografie, která by poskytla aktuální souhrn teoretických i praktických informací o jedovatých hadech, hadích toxinech a terapii hadího uštknutí.
Kniha MUDr. Jiřího Valenty je tak
významným přínosem české školy klinické toxinologie hadích jedů, založené světově uznávaným expertem prof. MUDr. Františkem Kornalíkem, DrSc.
V této monografii se autor vypořádal s nelehkým úkolem oslovit několik zcela odlišných skupin čtenářské obc
e: lékaře, terénní biology, chovatele hadů i cestovatele. I když jde o odbornou publikaci, zalíbení v ní najdou i milovníci populárně vědecké literatury a všichni, kdo chtějí proniknout do exotického světa jedovatých hadů a užasnout nad geniální různ
orodostí jejich toxinů.

The Appeal
In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town's water supply, causing the worst "cancer cluster" in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi
Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it. Who are the nine? How will they vote? Can one be replaced before the case is ultimately decided? The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named
Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr
. Trudeau.Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mould him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Their Supreme Court jus

Kehlani - It Was Good Until It Wasn't LP
KDO: Americká zpěvačka Kehlani Ashley Parrish na sebe poprvé výrazněji upozornila jako členka popové skupiny Poplyfe, s níž se probojovala do finále soutěže Amerika hledá talent. Byla rovněž součástí hiphopového uskupení The Heartbreak Gang, ale skutečně se proslavila až sólově. Vydala několik mixtapes, za You Should Be Here si dokonce vysloužila nominaci na Grammy. Dalším impulsem a důležitým krokem v kariéře pak bylo účinkování na soundtracku k filmu Suicide Squad, kde se objevila její skladba Gangsta.

Tamira 3 - Královna věštců
Pod vládou krále - uchvatitele Skala trpěla hladomorem, nemocemi a invazemi. Nyní však přišel čas právoplatné dědičky, čas návratu k tradici královen válečnic. A konečně bude potvrzeno Světlonošovo proroctví: Dokud bude zemi chránit a vládnout dcera z královského rodu, Skala nebude podrobena. Mystický oheň spálil chlapecké tělo známé jako princ Tobin a odhalil princeznu Tamír, dívku na pokraji ženství a královnu, připravenou - po životě v přestrojení pod ochranou čarodějů a šamanů - žádat svůj trůn. Přijme ji však její lid, její vojsko - a přátelé, které musela podvést? A co hůř, rozpoutá její soupěř v nároku na trůn, Tobinův přítel, který se změnil v Tamířina nepřítele, v zuřivém boji o Skalu občanskou válku?

HIV/AIDS: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
HIV/AIDS is without doubt the worst epidemic to hit humankind since the Black Death. The first case was identified in 1981; by 2004 it was estimated that about 40 million people were living with the disease, and about 20 million had died. Despite rapid scientific advances there is still no cure and the drugs are expensive and toxic. Because of controversies and taboos surrounding safe drug usage and prostitution, the numbers of people infected continues to rise. However, it is in the developing world and especially parts of Africa that the real catastrophe is unfolding. In some of the worst affected countries life expectancy has plummeted to below 35 years, which has led to a serious decline in economic growth, a sharp rise in orphaning, and the imminent collapse of health care systems. The news is not all bleak though. There have been unprecedented breakthroughs in understanding diseases and developing drugs. Because the disease is so closely linked to sexual activity and drug use, the need to understand and change behaviour has caused us to reassess what it means to be human and how we should operate in the globalising world. This Very Short Introduction provides an introduction to the disease, tackling the science, the international and local politics, the fascinating demographics, and the devastating consequences of the disease, and explores how we have -- and must -- respond.
Skrytý válečník
Dívka v chlapeckém těle – s touto krutou pravdou je Tobin nucen se smířit. Svou novou identitu však nesmí nikomu prozradit. Ani svým nejbližším, protože by tím mohl ohrozit jejich životy. Král Erius v chorobné touze po moci totiž neváhá jít přes mrtvoly. A královy plamínky šílenství ještě rozdmýchává čaroděj Niryn. Sám totiž rozehrál vlastní hru o královský trůn. Události tak spějí k nevyhnutelnému konfliktu.

Most Delicious Poison : From Spices to Vices - The Story of Natures Toxins
A deadly secret lurks within our kitchens, medicine cabinets and gardens.
Scratch beneath the surface of a coffee bean, a red pepper flake or an apple seed, and we find a bevy of strange chemicals. We use these to greet our days (caffeine), titillate our tongues (capsaicin) and even kill our enemies (cyanide). But what is the reason plants and fungi produce such chemicals? And how did we come to use and abuse them?
Based on cutting-edge science in the fields of evolution, chemistry, and neuroscience, Most Delicious Poison is the first book to reveal the origins of plant and fungal toxins, the mechanisms animals have evolved to overcome them, and how a co-evolutionary arms race made its way into the human experience. This perpetual chemical war not only drove the diversification of life on Earth, but is also intimately tied to our own successes and failures as a species.

Politics: A Survivor’s Guide
We live in an age of fury and confusion. A new crisis erupts before the last one has finished: financial crisis, Brexit, pandemic, war in Ukraine, inflation, strikes. Prime Ministers come and go but politics stays divided and toxic.
It is tempting to switch off the news, tune out and hope things will get back to normal. Except, this is the new normal, and our democracy can only work if enough people stay engaged without getting enraged. But how?
To answer that question, award-winning journalist Rafael Behr takes the reader on a personal journey from despair at the state of politics to hope that there is a better way of doing things, with insights drawn from three decades as a political commentator and foreign correspondent.
Rest Is Resistance
Reclaim power, rest and heal from grind culture
Rest is Resistance is a call-to-action for anyone suffering from the toxic urgency of modern-day life. It centres around the systemic issues that cause us to overwork, and ultimately burn out, and offers liberation through rest. In its simplest form, rest becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy. Slowing down moves us away from trying to operate at machine levels of productivity, to make us all more human. In this fierce and tender manifesto, Tricia Hersey elevates rest as a divine right, and paves the way towards a more well-rested life that empowers imagination, invention and healing. Divided into four sections, Rest is Resistance explains Tricia's philosophy and methods, and includes both storytelling and practical advice. It will offer you the guidance and context to craft a rest practice for long-term health, both within yourself and society as a whole.

Never Enough
The definitive book on the rise of "toxic achievement culture" overtaking our kids' and parents' lives, and a new framework for fighting back.
In the ever more competitive race to secure the best possible future, today's students face unprecedented pressure to succeed. They jam-pack their schedules with AP classes, fill every waking hour with resume-padding activities, and even sabotage relationships with friends to "get ahead." Family incomes and schedules are stretched to the breaking point by tutoring fees and athletic schedules. Yet this drive to optimize performance has only resulted in skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and even self-harm in America's highest achieving schools. Parents, educators, and community leaders are facing the same quandary: how can we teach our kids to strive towards excellence without crushing them?
In Never Enough, award-winning reporter Jennifer Breheny Wallace investigates the deep roots of toxic achievement culture, and finds out what we must do to fight back. Drawing on interviews with families, educators, and an original survey of nearly 6,000 parents, she exposes how the pressure to perform is not a matter of parental choice but baked in to our larger society and spurred by increasing income inequality and dwindling opportunities. As a result, children are increasingly absorbing the message that they have no value outside of their accomplishments, a message that is reinforced by the media and greater culture at large.
Through deep research and interviews with today's leading child psychologists, Wallace shows what kids need from the adults in the room is not more pressure, but to feel like they matter, and have intrinsic self-worth not contingent upon external achievements. Parents and educators who adopt the language and values of mattering help children see themselves as a valuable contributor to a larger community. And in an ironic twist, kids who receive consistent feedback that they matter no matter what are more likely to have the resilience, self-confidence, and psychological security to thrive.
Packed with memorable stories and offering a powerful toolkit for positive change, Never Enough offers an urgent, humane view of the crisis plaguing today's teens and a practical framework for how to help.

Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution
In November 2011, Mona Eltahawy came to worldwide attention when she was assaulted by police during the Egyptian Revolution. She responded by writing a groundbreaking piece in Foreign Policy entitled 'Why Do They Hate Us'; 'They' being Muslim men, 'Us' being women. It sparked huge controversy. In Headscarves and Hymens, Eltahawy takes her argument further. Drawing on her years as a campaigner and commentator on women's issues in the Middle East, she explains that since the Arab Spring began, women in the Arab world have had two revolutions to undertake: one fought with men against oppressive regimes, and another fought against an entire political and economic system that treats women as second-class citizens in countries from Yemen and Saudi Arabia to Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya. Eltahawy has travelled across the Middle East and North Africa, meeting with women and listening to their stories. Her book is a plea for outrage and action on their behalf, confronting the 'toxic mix of culture and religion that few seem willing or able to disentangle lest they blaspheme or offend.' A manifesto motivated by hope and fury in equal measure, Headscarves and Hymens is as illuminating as it is incendiary.
