The Green Planet
'David Attenborough's gobsmacking, awe-inspiring return' The Guardian
'The Green Planet reveals the secret lives of plants in the same way The Blue Planet opened our eyes to the oceans' New Scientist
There's something new under the sun
Plants live secret, unseen lives - hidden in their magical world and on their timescale. From the richest jungles to the harshest deserts, from the snowiest alpine forest to the remotest steaming swamp, Green Planet travels from one great habitat to the next, showing us that plants are as aggressive, competitive and dramatic as the animals on our planet. You will discover agents of death, who ruthlessly engulf their host plant, but also those that form deep and complex relationships with other species, such as the desert cacti who use nectar-loving bats to pollinate. Although plants are undoubtedly the stars of the show, a fascinating new light will be shed on the animals that interact with them.
Using the latest technologies and showcasing over two decades of new discoveries, Green Planet reveals the strange and wonderful life of plants like never before - a life full of remarkable behaviour, emotional stories and surprising heroes.
Sovereign wealth funds in theory and practice
Suverénní fondy (Sovereign Wealth Funds, SWF) se v posledních letech stávají významnou součástí globálního finančního systému. Tyto instituce spravovaly ke konci roku 2013 více než 6 bilionů USD. SWF jsou státem vlastněné fondy založené za různým makroekonomickým účelem. Obvykle jsou financovány cizoměnovými příjmy států, které jsou následně investovány v zahraničí.
Tato monografie se zabývá globální SWF z teoretického i praktického pohledu. Dále je zde diskutována teoretická možnost založení SWF v České republice. Autoři však dospívají k závěru, že po vzniku SWF není v naší zemi dostatečná poptávka ani ze strany politiků, ani ze strany voličů. Kniha je psána srozumitelným jazykem, a tudíž vhodná pro odbornou i širší veřejnost.

Stooges, The - Fun House (Red/Black) LP
KDO: Americká rocková kapela z Michiganu vystupovala též pod názvem Iggy & the Stooges. Proslavila se syrovým, až primitivním rockovým stylem, věhlasné byly zejména její divoké koncerty, na kterých se zpěvák Iggy Pop často sebepoškozoval. Kapela vydala dvě desky a rozpadla se, aby se znovu v pozměněné sestavě nakrátko sešla a natočila třetí desku Raw Power (1973). Další reunion prožila v roce 2003. Styl The Stooges je často označován jako proto-punk, jenž je ovlivněn punk rockem, heavy metalem či alternativním rockem. V roce 2010 se skupina dočkala pozvánky do rock’n’rollové Síně slávy, časopis Rolling Stone ji zároveň zařadil mezi stovku nejdůležitějších kapel historie.
CO: Vinylová reedice druhé desky kapely, ve které začínal slavný Iggy Pop. Album Fun House původně vyšlo v roce 1970.

Waits Tom - The Black Rider (2023 Remaster Edition) CD
Thomas Alan Waits (narodený 7. decembra 1949) je americký hudobník, skladateľ, skladateľ a herec. Jeho texty sa často zameriavajú na spodinu spoločnosti a sú prednesené jeho typickým hlbokým, štrkovitým hlasom. V 70. rokoch pôsobil predovšetkým v jazze, no jeho hudba od 80. rokov odrážala väčší vplyv blues, rock, vaudeville a experimentálne žánre. Napriek nedostatku mainstreamového komerčného úspechu Waits ovplyvnil mnohých hudobníkov a získal si medzinárodný kult a bolo o ňom napísaných niekoľko biografií. V roku 2015 sa umiestnil na 55. mieste v rebríčku "100 najlepších skladateľov všetkých čias" časopisu Rolling Stone. V roku 2011 ho uviedli do Rokenrolovej siene slávy.
"The Black Rider" je dvanásty štúdiový album, vydaný v roku 1993 na Island Records, obsahuje štúdiové verzie piesní, ktoré Waits napísal pre hru The Black Rider, ktorú režíroval Robert Wilson a na ktorej sa podieľal William S. Burroughs. Hra vychádza z nemeckej ľudovej rozprávky Der Freischütz od Johanna Augusta Apela, ktorú predtým spracoval do opery Carl Maria von Weber. Hra mala premiéru 31. marca 1990 v divadle Thalia v nemeckom Hamburgu. Jeho svetová premiéra v anglickom jazyku sa odohrala v roku 1998 na medzinárodnom festivale v Edmontone. Album bol remastrovaný Chrisom Bellmanom v Bernie Grundman Mastering z pôvodnej master pásky osobne pod dohľadom Toma Waitsa a Kathleen Brennan.

The Last Prophecy
Do the number Pi (?) contain everything within?
Such as your date of birth, your date of death, even the date of the Doomsday. Well, what if someone knew that a long time ago and coded it somewhere?
Could someone else have discovered America in the Middle Ages before Columbus? Well, what if this mysterious person is really a great Oracle who has to hide his talent, and what if his purpose of going there is not to discover a new continent, but to solve one of the world's greatest secrets, the Secret of a Mayan prophetic calendar that explains when the Doomsday in a Mayan pyramid is coming?
The Mayans actually calculated the date of the Doomsday as 13.0.0.0.0 Baktun and they encoded it into a giant calendar. Well, what did that actually mean? 13 Baktun was actually a giant code in which the Mayans, who were also adept at mathematics, placed the true date of the Doomsday into the number Pi (?), and it indicated a date that was not 2012 but further. Did the Mayans come up with this information themselves, or did they get it from a lost civilization far more advanced than themselves, called Atlantis?
Oracle Bruno realized at the end of his 22 years of work that all this could not be a coincidence, and it was all about to fall into place. “It's all over, we can't go back now, it's too late!" he said to himself and removed the sarcophagus lid of the temple and placed the last of the three large stone disks in place. Now everything was ready, he was about to find out which date actually 13th Baktun coincide with that is the biggest secret of human history hidden in the Mayan Calendar, which is impossible to solve, by calculating the hidden code in the number of Pi:
13th Baktun: 13,3333 × 366,6666 (day) = 4903rd code
The 4903rd number of the Pi number
Coincide with the year 2222.

In 1500, on a dark night in a farmhouse near Granada in Southern Spain, a gray-colored 1-meter extraterrestrial creature who called himself 'Alien' in his notes; stood in front of the door with two letters containing a series of prophecies about the future of the world and a mysterious map with a place marked on it, and with a huge picture that consisted of 100 scrambled numbers of some cryptic complex numbers and writing of future dates; and he was staring at Bruno with his big black eyes.
In fact, this number picture, which is a giant 'Anagram', was a small piece of a giant spiral that began with 3.14... and extending to infinity, in which the histories of all the past and future events in the world were encoded. Alien suddenly threw the things in his hand towards him and began to run rapidly through the cornfield towards the lights descending from the sky 1 km away. As he began to run, the flying object began to quickly descend from the sky and disappeared into the darkness. Bruno first glanced toward the direction of the alien and went with fearful eyes, he had neither seen nor heard anything like this in his entire life, except in the stories of Satan and Jinn, told by people in the Church. He was frozen with fear, he wanted to follow him in that direction, but he didn't dare. He then reached out to the papers on the ground and slowly picked them up from where the alien had left them.
These two prophetic letters that Oracle Bruno received that night, and a map that shows the location of a mysterious ‘Mayan calendar' in a temple in the middle of a great continent marked with “America” in Latin-like language, across Spain, and with “Atlantis” written in the middle, would in fact be the beginning of a struggle between God and Satan, which began with the expulsion of mankind from Heaven, and continuing until the Doomsday. So that, Bruno would realize before it was too late that this bloody struggle, which would cost him and all his loved ones lives, was in fact the beginning of a great prophecy that concerned not only him but the end of all mankind.

The Bomber Mafia
The international bestselling author returns with an exploration of one of the grandest obsessions of the twentieth century
'The Bomber Mafia is a case study in how dreams go awry. When some shiny new idea drops from the heavens, it does not land softly in our laps. It lands hard, on the ground, and shatters.'
In the years before the Second World War, in a sleepy air force base in central Alabama, a small group of renegade pilots put forth a radical idea. What if we made bombing so accurate that wars could be fought entirely from the air? What if we could make the brutal clashes between armies on the ground a thing of the past?
This book tells the story of what happened when that dream was put to the test. The Bomber Mafia follows the stories of a reclusive Dutch genius and his homemade computer, Winston Churchill's forbidding best friend, a team of pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard, a brilliant pilot who sang vaudeville tunes to his crew, and the bomber commander, Curtis Emerson LeMay, who would order the bloodiest attack of the Second World War.
In this tale of innovation and obsession, Gladwell asks: what happens when technology and best intentions collide in the heat of war? And what is the price of progress?
