All Through the Night
Why darkness is so important – to plants, to animals, and to ourselves – and why we must protect it all costs.
Darkness is the first thing we know in our human existence. Safe and warm inside the bubble of the womb, we are comfortable in that embracing dark. But as soon as we are bought into the light, we learn to fear the dark. Why?
This book is a celebration of all things that go bump in the night and the joy that can be found when the sun goes down. As a society we have closed our curtains to the darkness, now Dani Robertson urges you to cast those curtains wide, step out of your front door and let the darkness pull you in.
Some 99 per cent of Western Europeans live under light polluted skies, but what is this doing to our health? Our wellbeing? Our connection to the cycles of nature?
Our wildlife, too, has been cast into the harsh glare of our light addiction, with devastating impacts.
In this book Dani shares with you the excitement and adventure she has found when everyone else is tucked up in bed. She explores constellations and cultures, enjoys environmental escapades, all whilst learning why we are addicted to light and why it is ruining our lives. She’ll show you why the darkness is so important and why we must protect it all costs. You’ll become a crusader of Darkness and an expert on what we can do to stop the onward march of light pollution (clue: it’s as easy as the flick of a switch).
Her life depends on darkness, and yours does too.

A Journey Through The Universe
There's a whole universe out there...
Imagine you had a spacecraft capable of travelling through interstellar space. You climb in, blast into orbit, fly out of the solar system and keep going. Where do you end up, and what do you see along the way?
The answer is: mostly nothing. Space is astonishingly, mind-blowingly empty. As you travel through the void between galaxies your spaceship encounters nothing more exciting than the odd hydrogen molecule. But when it does come across something more exotic: wow!
First and most obviously, stars and planets. Some are familiar from our own backyard: yellow suns, rocky planets like Mars, gas and ice giants like Jupiter and Neptune. But there are many more: giant stars, red and white dwarfs, super-earths and hot Jupiters. Elsewhere are swirling clouds of dust giving birth to stars, and infinitely dense regions of space-time called black holes. These clump together in the star clusters we call galaxies, and the clusters of galaxies we call... galaxy clusters.
And that is just the start. As we travel further we encounter ever more weird, wonderful and dangerous entities: supernovas, supermassive black holes, quasars, pulsars, neutron stars, black dwarfs, quark stars, gamma ray bursts and cosmic strings.
A Journey Through The Universe is a grand tour of the most amazing celestial objects and how they fit together to build the cosmos. As for the end of the journey - nobody knows. But getting there will be fun.

Nabijak 2: Sexi Kosť
HORÚCE POKRAČOVANIE KNIHY NABIJAK!
Alice Claytonová prináša nový príjemný koktailový príbeh. Poriadne zatrasie jeho postavami, okorení množstvom humoru a čitateľom naservíruje ich peripetie ako galériu dvadsiateho prvého storočia.
Vzťah Caroline a Simona sa podobá jazde na horskej dráhe. Ich šťastie a spoločná domácnosť by mohli byť neuveriteľne krásne a zábavné, keby neboli priveľmi zložité a chaotické. A aj po roku sú rovnako zamilovaní ako v prvý deň. Caroline má práce vyše hlavy, najmä po odchode svojej šéfky na medové týždne do Európy, keď riadi celú spoločnosť interiérového dizajnu. Ako vedúca návrhárka nezanedbáva ani renováciu starého hotela v mestečku Sausalito.
Simon, fotograf, horlivý a oddaný milenec Caroline, lieta za svojimi zábermi po celom svete, a čím menej sa vidia, tým je ich láska silnejšia a milovanie vášnivejšie. Keď už Simona neustále cestovanie unavuje, rozhodne sa svoje cestovateľské aktivity výrazne obmedziť. Namiesto fotografovania exotických lokalít trávi oveľa viac času doma, čo očakáva aj od zaneprázdnenej Caroline. I keď jej kariéra v interiérovom dizajne prudko rastie, musí si vybrať medzi profesiou a osobným šťastím. S náhlymi zmenami sa kopia aj neriešené nedorozumenia a nastal čas urobiť zásadné životné rozhodnutia. Vydrží ich láska šialenstvo každodenného hektického života? Dokážu sa vyhnúť stereotypu?

The woman swears she won’t marry, especially a fortune hunter. Oliver must win her for his bride at any cost, even if it means compromising the lady on a train and stealing her heart.
Avoiding fortune hunters has never been harder…
Rayne Egerton is happy to escape the New York ballrooms to travel with her father through England while he tends to business. What should have been an enjoyable Christmas vacation turns upside down with a moment of unexpected passion when a stranger in the cabin next to her steals a scorching kiss. The mysterious Lord Conway is everything that Rayne desires and fears in a man with his sinfully good looks, wicked smile and devastating kiss. As heiress to her father’s fortune, she isn’t going to give up her freedom for any man unless he can love her without her money. As the train rolls through snowy English countryside, she starts to wonder if Oliver may be the Christmas gift she’d been secretly hoping for.

Alice In Chains - Jar Of Flies (30th Anniversary) LP
Alice in Chains je americká rocková skupina zo Seattlu v štáte Washington, ktorú v roku 1987 založili gitarista a spevák Jerry Cantrell a bubeník Sean Kinney, ktorí neskôr prijali basgitaristu Mikea Starra a hlavného speváka Layne Staleyho. Starr bol nahradený Mikeom Inezom v roku 1993. William DuVall sa ku kapele pripojil v roku 2006 ako spoluvedúci spevák a rytmický gitarista, ktorý nahradil Staleyho, ktorý zomrel v roku 2002. Kapela prevzala názov podľa Staleyho predchádzajúcej skupiny, glammetalovej skupiny Alice N' Chains. Zvuk Alice in Chains, ktorý sa často spája s grungeovou hudbou, zahŕňa prvky heavy metalu. Kapela je známa svojim charakteristickým vokálnym štýlom, ktorý často zahŕňal harmonizované vokály medzi Staleym a Cantrellom (a neskôr Cantrellom a DuVallom). Cantrell začal spievať hlavné vokály na akustickom EP „Sap“ z roku 1992 a jeho úloha pokračovala v raste v nasledujúcich albumoch, vďaka čomu sa z Alice in Chains stala „dvojspevácka“ skupina.
„Jar of Flies“ je tretie štúdiové EP, ktoré vyšlo 25. januára 1994 vo vydavateľstve Columbia Records. Druhé akustické EP skupiny, po albume „Sap“ z roku 1992, to bolo prvé EP v hudobnej histórii, ktoré debutovalo na 1. mieste v rebríčku Billboard 200, pričom predaj v prvom týždni prekročil v Spojených štátoch 141 000 kópií. Záznam z vlastnej produkcie bol napísaný a nahraný v priebehu jediného týždňa v London Bridge Studio v Seattli. Skladby "No Excuses", "I Stay Away" a "Don't Follow" boli vydané ako single na propagáciu EP. „Jar of Flies“ bol nominovaný na dve ceny Grammy v roku 1995: Najlepší nahrávka a Najlepší hardrockový výkon za skladbu „I Stay Away“.

The Power of Regret : How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward
'No regrets.' You've heard people proclaim it as a philosophy of life. That's nonsense, even dangerous, says Daniel H. Pink in his latest bold and inspiring work. Everybody has regrets. They're a fundamental part of our lives. And if we reckon with them in fresh and imaginative ways, we can enlist our regrets to make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and deepen our sense of meaning and purpose.
In The Power of Regret, Pink draws on research in psychology, neuroscience, economics and biology to challenge widely-held assumptions about emotions and behaviour. Using the largest sampling of attitudes about regret ever conducted from his own World Regret Survey - which has collected regrets from more than 16,000 people in 105 countries - he identifies the four core regrets that most people have. These four regrets, Pink argues, operate as a 'photographic negative' of the good life. By understanding what people regret the most, we can understand what they value the most. And by following the simple, science-based, three-step process that he sets out, we can transform our regrets in a positive force for working smarter and living better.
With Pink's signature blend of big ideas and practical takeaways, captivating stories and crisp humour, The Power of Regret offers an urgent and indispensable guide for a life well-lived.
Na co Alice zapomněla
Když se Alice probere na zemi v posilovně, má na hlavě pořádnou bouli a myslí si, že je jí dvacet devět a čeká první dítě se svým superúžasným manželem Nickem. Jenomže pak se dozví, že se jí z paměti právě vymazalo deset let života a že je ve skutečnosti devětatřicetiletá neurotička, která nejraději tráví svůj volný čas v posilovně nebo na poradách školního výboru se ženami, jež kdysi nesnášela. Jak se to stalo, že se její život tak radikálně změnil? Proč ji její manžel nenávidí? Co tak hrozného provedla, že s ní její milovaná sestra skoro nemluví? A do toho si není schopná vůbec vzpomenout na svoje tři děti – ne, Alice se najednou vidí jinýma očima a ta nová žena, o které jí vyprávějí, se jí vůbec nezamlouvá. Najde způsob, aby se znovu stala tím člověkem, kterým bývala?

Ferdinand Hložník - Tvorba ako genéza vlastnej identity / Exploring Identity Through Art
Ferdinand Hložník (1921-2006) patrí k významným osobnostiam slovenského moderného umenia. Do výtvarného diania vstúpil v polovici štyridsiatich rokov minulého storočia. Už vtedy sa zapojil do aktivity progresívnej Skupiny 29.augusta. Vo svojej tvorbe sa venoval niekoľkým výtvarným druhom- maľbe, ilustrácii, kresbe a grafike. Jeho celoživotný prínos sa prejavil najmä v maľbe, a to tak v expresívno-dramatickom, ako aj racionálno-konštruktívnom zameraní. Vo vývoji sa dotkol abstraktného a nefiguratívneho pólu. V obraze organicky používal symbol, archetyp, znak či metaforu. Námetom jeho prác bola situácia človeka v jeho svete, rodná krajina i prostredie mesta. Mal množstvo výstav doma aj v zahraničí. Za svoje dielo získal viacero významných ocenení.
