Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland B1-B2 (Alenka v říši divů) - Zrcadlová četba
Alenka v říši divů je román z roku 1865 od anglického autora Lewise Carrolla. Vypráví o mladé dívce Alence, která králičí norou propadne do rozmarného podzemního světa obývaného prapodivnými a okouzlujícími bytostmi. Pojďte se seznámit s kočkou Šklíbou, Bílým králíkem nebo děsivou Srdcovou královnou či Kloboučníkem. Alenka je možná tou nejoblíbenější ženskou postavou anglické literatury a její příběh zůstává uznávanou klasikou už po generace.
Moonshot: Inside Pfizers Nine-Month Race To Make The Impossible Possible
The exclusive, first-hand, behind-the-scenes story of how Pfizer raced to create the first Covid-19 vaccine, told by Pfizer's CEO Dr. Albert Bourla
A riveting, fast-paced, inside look at one of the most incredible private sector achievements in history, Moonshot recounts the intensive nine months in 2020 when the scientists at Pfizer, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Albert Bourla, made "the impossible possible"-creating, testing, and manufacturing a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine that previously would have taken years to develop.
Dr. Bourla chronicles how the brilliant, dedicated minds at Pfizer, under the enormous strains of the global pandemic, overcame a series of crises that were compounded by social and political unrest, and reveals the doubts, decisions, obstacles, and failures they encountered. As Dr. Bourla makes clear, Pfizer's success wasn't due to luck; it was because of preparation driven by four simple values-Courage, Excellence, Equity, and Joy.
Moonshot is a story of leadership under the most unprecedented circumstances-how Dr. Bourla, a Greek immigrant, a child of Holocaust survivors, and a veterinarian, became the head of one of the world's largest corporations and initiated a dramatic transformation of the organization just before a global health crisis would serve to test the organization, its scientists and its leader, like never before. Moonshot describes best practices that can be used to address the multiple, unprecedented challenges our world faces, reveals Pfizer's implementation of scientific breakthroughs at a record-breaking pace, and offers leadership lessons that can help anyone successfully manage their own seemingly unsolvable problems. As Dr. Bourla explains, "I am sharing the story of our moonshot-the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, and the core values that allowed us to make it happen-in hopes that it might inspire and inform your own moonshot, whatever that may be."

Rómski kováči na Slovensku / Roma Blacksmith in Slovakia
Nová publikácia z edície Tradícia dnes prináša celistvý, doteraz nepublikovaný pohľad na kováčstvo Rómov na Slovensku v kontexte ich etnokultúrneho vývoja s reflektovaním podôb a špecifík materiálnej zložky (pracovné postupy, výrobky) i spoločenskej stránky (postavenie kováčov v spoločenstvách Rómov i z pohľadu nerómskych obyvateľov) tohto zamestnania. Kováčske remeslo (i hudobníctvo) vykonávané Rómami sa stretli so záujmom majoritného obyvateľstva a umožnili Rómom v priebehu 16.-18. storočia prejsť na trvalo usadlý spôsob života. V tom spočíva výnimočný význam tohto remesla ako pre Rómov, tak aj pre majoritné obyvateľstvo. Technológiu spracovania kovov si priniesli Rómovia z indickej pravlasti. Svedčia o tom prvky v technológii práce (napr. kovanie na zemi) i používané nástroje (napr. dvojica kožených mechov), ktoré dodnes v Indii používajú predpokladaní príbuzní európskych Rómov. Rómski kováči sa zameriavali na produkciu výrobkov, ktoré nevyrábali miestni nerómski kováči a preto nedochádzalo ku konkurencii. Do polovice 20. storočia to boli predovšetkým šindľové, krokvové, podkovové, železničné klince, nástroje pre roľníkov (okovanie pluhov, reťaze, sekery a i.), debnárov, vareškárov, stolárov, kolárov, šindliarov i predmety do domácnosti (nože, sekáče, trojnožky, ocieľky na nietenie ohňa, pasce na chytanie zvierat a pod.). Na príklade folklóru (piesne, príslovia) autor ukazuje, že rómski kováči boli vážení tak príslušníkmi svojej komunity, ako aj zo strany majoritného obyvateľstva. Publikácia sleduje vývoj kováčstva Rómov aj od polovice 20. storočia, kedy lacné fabrické výrobky utlmili záujem o výrobky kováčov a preto rómski kováči udržiavali svoje remeslo vytváraním kováčskych dielní, neskôr zameraním sa na umelecké kováčstvo.

Lacná kniha Cursed Britain: A History of Witchcraft and Black Magic in Modern Times (-70%)
The definitive history of how witchcraft and black magic have survived, through the modern era and into the present day
Cursed Britain unveils the enduring power of witchcraft, curses and black magic in modern times. Few topics are so secretive or controversial. Yet, whether in the 1800s or the early 2000s, when disasters struck or personal misfortunes mounted, many Britons found themselves believing in things they had previously dismissed - dark supernatural forces.
Historian Thomas Waters here explores the lives of cursed or bewitched people, along with the witches and witch-busters who helped and harmed them. Waters takes us on a fascinating journey from Scottish islands to the folklore-rich West Country, from the immense territories of the British Empire to metropolitan London. We learn why magic caters to deep-seated human needs but see how it can also be abused, and discover how witchcraft survives by evolving and changing. Along the way, we examine an array of remarkable beliefs and rituals, from traditional folk magic to diverse spiritualities originating in Africa and Asia.
This is a tale of cynical quacks and sincere magical healers, depressed people and furious vigilantes, innocent victims and rogues who claimed to possess evil abilities. Their spellbinding stories raise important questions about the state's role in regulating radical spiritualities, the fragility of secularism and the true nature of magic.
