Osud hněvu a plamene (Hněv a oheň 1)
Zručná zlodějka Romeria krade šperky pro newyorskou mafii. Po sérii záhadných událostí se však ocitne v říši soupeřících trůnů, válčících elfských společenství a živelné magie. Když se probudí v těle proradné elfí princezny, rychle jí dojde, že se zapletla do smrtícího spiknutí. Svoji skutečnou identitu teď musí ukrýt hlavně před králem Zanderem, princezniným snoubencem, který ji ze srdce nenávidí. Jenže hranice mezi láskou a nenávistí je tenká… a brzy nastane čas, aby Romeria zjistila, kým skutečně je.
Being Human
Being Human is history made flesh. It will change the way you see the world.
We are a wonder of evolution. Powerful yet dextrous, instinctive yet thoughtful, we are expert communicators and innovators. Our exceptional abilities have created the civilisation we know today.
But we're also deeply flawed. Our bodies break, choke and fail, whether we're kings or peasants. Diseases thwart our boldest plans. Our psychological biases have been at the root of terrible decisions in both war and peacetime.
This extraordinary contradiction is the essence of what it means to be human - the sum total of our frailties and our faculties. And history has played out in the balance between them. Now, for the first time, Lewis Dartnell tells our story through the lens of this unique, capricious and fragile nature. He explores how our biology has shaped our relationships, our societies, our economies and our wars, and how it continues to challenge and define our progress.
Human Origins
Where did we come from? Where are we going?
Homo sapiens is the most successful, the most widespread and the most influential species ever to walk the Earth. In the blink of an evolutionary eye we have spread around the globe, taken control of Earth's biological and mineral resources, transformed the environment, discovered the secrets of the universe and travelled into space.
Yet just 7 million years ago, we were just another species of great ape making a quiet living in the forests of East Africa. We do not know exactly what this ancestor was like, but it was no more likely than a chimpanzee or gorilla to sail across the ocean, write a symphony, invent a steam engine or ponder the meaning of existence. How did we get from there to here?
Human Origins recounts the most astonishing evolutionary tale ever told. Discover how our ancestors made the first tentative steps towards becoming human, how we lost our fur but gained language, fire and tools, how we strode out of Africa, invented farming and cities and ultimately created modern civilisation - perhaps the only one of its kind in the universe. Meet your long-lost ancestors, the other humans who once shared the planet with us, and learn where the story might end.

Growing Up Human
Growing Up Human reveals how our evolutionary history has shaped a phenomenon experienced by all readers – childhood.
Tracking our evolutionary history, anthropological science has begun to unravel one feature that sets us apart from the many animals that came before us – our uniquely long childhoods. Growing Up Human looks at how we have diverged from our roots to stay 'forever young' and how the evolution of childhood is a critical part of the human story.
Beginning with the ways animals invest in their offspring, anthropologist Brenna Hassett moves through the steps of making a baby, from pair-bonding to hidden ovulation, points where our species has repeatedly stepped off the standard primate path. From the mystery of monogamy to the minefield of modern parenting advice, Hassett explains how differences between humans and our closest cousins have led to our messy mating systems, dangerous pregnancies, and difficult births, and what these tell us about our babies we are trying to build.
Using observations of our closest primate relatives, archaeological relics, and the bones and teeth of our ancestors, Growing Up Human explores the evolution of our childhood right down the fossil record. In our species, investment doesn't stop at birth, and examining every aspect of our care and feeding, from the chemical composition of our milk to formal education, reveals what we have evolved our weird and wonderful childhoods for.

Panstvo Soli a smútku
Annaleigh žije so sestrami, s otcom a nevlastnou matkou na osamelom panstve Highmoor na ostrove uprostred nepokojných morí. Kedysi bolo sestier dvanásť, dnes sú však veľkolepé sály panstva studené a prázdne, štyri životy nečakane vyhasli. Jedna smrť bola tragickejšia než druhá – choroba, strmhlavý pád, utopenie, pokĺznutie z útesu. Po okolitých dedinách sa šepká, že rodina je prekliata. Annaleigh klebetám neverí, ale zároveň pochybuje, že šlo o náhodné úmrtia. Ostatné sestry sa po nociach vykrádajú zo svojich izieb, aby tancovali na tajných báloch, v žiarivých črievičkách a hodvábnych róbach, až do úsvitu, a Annaleigh nevie, či sa k nim pridať, alebo im nebezpečné výlety vyhovoriť. Koniec koncov, s kým alebo s čím to vlastne tancujú? Na panstve Highmoore sa deje čosi zvláštne, a Annaleigh musí záhadu vyriešiť, kým nepribudnú ďalšie obete. Mohla by byť jednou z nich.

The Kind Worth Saving
When private detective and former teacher Henry Kimball is hired to investigate an ex-pupil's cheating husband, he senses all is not quite what it seems, and before he knows it he's gotten far too close to the other woman.
As the case gets ever stranger, he turns to the only person he can trust, Lily Kintner, someone with dark secrets of her own...
With its ingenious clockwork-like plot, and twists aplenty, The Kind Worth Saving is a crime novel to savour from a modern master.
Growing Up Human
In Growing Up Human, Brenna Hassett explores how our evolutionary history has shaped a phenomenon every reader will have experienced - childhood.
Tracking deep into our evolutionary history, anthropological science has begun to unravel one particular feature that sets us apart from the many, many animals that came before us - our uniquely long childhoods. Growing Up Human looks at how we have diverged from our ancestral roots to stay 'forever young' - or at least what seems like forever - and how the evolution of childhood is a critical part of the human story.
Beginning with a look at the ways animals invest in their offspring, the book moves through the many steps of making a baby, from pair-bonding to hidden ovulation, points where our species has repeatedly stepped off the standard primate path. From the mystery of monogamy to the minefield of modern parenting advice, biological anthropologist Brenna Hassett reveals how differences between humans and our closest cousins lead to our messy mating systems, dangerous pregnancies, and difficult births, and what these tell us about the kind of babies we are trying to build.
Using observations of our closest primate relatives, the tiny relics of childhood that come to us from the archaeological record, and the bones and teeth of our ancestors, science has started to unravel the evolution of our childhood right down the fossil record. In our species investment doesn't stop at birth, and as Growing Up Human reveals, we can compare every aspect of our care and feeding, from the chemical composition of our milk to our fondness for formal education from ancient times onwards, in order to understand just what we evolved our weird and wonderful childhoods for.
Right Kind of Wrong
Forget 'fail fast, fail often'. This revolutionary book reveals how we get failure wrong - and how to get it right.
We used to think of failure as a problem, to be avoided at all costs. Now, we're often told that failure is desirable - that we must 'fail fast, fail often'. The trouble is, neither approach distinguishes the good failures from the bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well.
Here, Amy Edmondson - the world's most influential organisational psychologist - reveals how we get failure wrong, and how to get it right. She draws on a lifetime's research into the science of 'psychological safety' to show that the most successful cultures are those in which you can fail openly, without your mistakes being held against you. She introduces the three archetypes of failure - simple, complex and intelligent - and explains how to harness the revolutionary potential of the good ones (and eliminate the bad).
And she tells vivid stories ranging from the history of open heart surgery to the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster, all to ask a simple, provocative question: What if it is only by learning to fail that we can hope to truly succeed?

Z krvi a popola 2: Kráľovstvo tela a ohňa
Je láska silnejšia než pomsta?
ZRADA…
Všetko, čomu Poppy verila, je lož, vrátane muža, do ktorého sa zamilovala. Uviaznutá medzi tými, ktorí ju vnímajú ako symbol obludného kráľovstva, ani poriadne netuší, kým je bez závoja nepoškvrnenej. Vie však, že nič nie je také nebezpečné ako on. Pán temnoty. Princ Atlantie. Chce, aby s ním bojovala, a tento príkaz veľmi rada splní. Možno ju zajal, no nikdy ju nebude vlastniť.
VOĽBA…
Casteel Da’Neer má mnoho mien a tvárí. Jeho lži sú rovnako zvodné ako jeho dotyk. Jeho pravda je zmyselná ako jeho uhryznutie. Poppy vie, že mu nemôže veriť. Na svoje ciele ju potrebuje živú, zdravú a v celku. No aj on pre ňu predstavuje jedinú cestu, ako dosiahnuť, čo chce — nájsť brata Iana a na vlastné oči sa presvedčiť, či sa z neho stal povýšený bez duše. Spolupracovať s Casteelom a nebojovať proti nemu má svoje riziká. Každým nádychom ju vábi, ponúka jej všetko, o čom kedy snívala. Má s ňou plány. Také, ktoré by jej mohli priniesť nekonečné potešenie i nepoznanú bolesť. Plány, ktoré ju prinútia pozrieť sa za hranice všetkého, čo vedela o sebe – a o ňom. Plány, ktoré by ich životy mohli spojiť nečakanými spôsobmi a na ktoré nie je pripravené ani jedno kráľovstvo. A ona je priveľmi nedbanlivá a nenásytná, aby odolala pokušeniu.
TAJOMSTVO…
V Atlantii však v očakávaní princovho návratu vzrástol nepokoj. Stále častejšie sa šepká o vojne a Poppy je v samom ohnisku všetkých udalostí. Kráľ ju chce využiť, aby odovzdala odkaz. Stúpenci ju chcú vidieť mŕtvu. Vlkolaci sú čoraz nepredvídateľnejší. A ako sa jej schopnosť cítiť bolesť a emócie rozvíja a posilňuje, Atlantínčania sa jej začínajú báť. V hre sú temné tajomstvá ponorené do krvavých hriechov oboch kráľovstiev, ktoré by urobili všetko, aby zatajili pravdu. No keď sa začne otriasať zem a krvácať obloha, môže už byť neskoro.

Be More Human
The ultimate guide to boosting your mental and physical health by reconnecting with the way we, as humans, were supposed to live, eat, sleep, breathe and move.
The bright lights, late nights and constant hustle of our modern world have detached us from the way we, as humans, were supposed to live, connect and thrive. Be More Human explores the importance of reconnecting with our natural state and help us learn how to meet our true needs and live more naturally.
Tony Riddle (@thenaturallifestylist) will explore how the majority of us do not sit, breathe, eat, sleep or move as nature intended and so we're actively going against our biology. This book will help us all to reassess our habits and tap back into our natural rhythms and ways of being to optimise our mental and physical wellbeing, reduce stress, sit correctly, breathe better and improve our quality of sleep.
Tony is committed to helping us reconnect with how we were built to live in a way that can be incorporated into our hectic, modern lifestyles. His expertise will make this a transformative, empowering and practical guide to getting back in tune with a happier, healthier self to discover physical, emotional, mental and spiritual strength and wellbeing.
We can't all live in nature, but we can all live more naturally and learn how to thrive instead of just survive.

Vyskočíme Na lyže a večer si konečne napečieme Medovníčky. Po slávnostnej večeri nás prebudí svojím cinkotom Zvonček a my sa rozbehneme rozbaľovať darčeky. A Smejko konečne pochopí, čo je pre neho ten Najkrajší darček. Macko Duško nám pripomenie Vianočnú pesničku, pri ktorej sme spoznali šteniatko Montyho. Na nebi nám zažiari vianočná Hviezdička a potom sa konečne vyberieme spať s uspávankou Autíčko a bábika. Ale všetkému je raz koniec a tak aj náš vianočný výlet skončí. Sľúbime si však, že si ho zopakujeme u nás v domčeku s pesničkou Šťastné a veselé. Na našom DVD Šťastné a veselé nájdete naviac bonus v podobe krátkeho príbehu, v ktorom Smejko bude čakať na Zlaté prasiatko. A čo by to boli za Vianoce, keby nezaznela Tichá noc.

The Human Cosmos
For most of human history, we have had a close relationship with the stars. Once they shaped our religious beliefs, power structures, scientific advances and even our biology. But over the last few centuries we have separated ourselves from the universe that surrounds us. And it comes at a cost.
The Human Cosmos is a tour of this history: from the Hall of the Bulls in Lascaux to Tahitian sailors navigating by the stars; from medieval monks grappling with the nature of time to Einstein realising that space and time are the same. It shows we need to rediscover the universe we inhabit, its effect on our health, and its potential for inspiration and revelation.
Anjeli a dévovia
Správy o anjeloch sa zachovali už od najstarších čias. Vystupujú nielen v mýtoch, ale i posvätných knihách dávnych ľudských civilizácií. Žeby sa všetci boli mýlili? Existujú anjeli a akí teda sú? Autorka úprimne oboznamuje čitateľov s tajomstvami neviditeľných obyvateľov anjelskej ríše. Tieto žiarivé bytosti sú prítomné vo všetkom, čo sa deje v prírode a zaslúžia si našu hlbokú lásku a úctu. Pomáhajú nám, aj keď sme si toho nie vedomí. Bez ich aktívnej účasti a pomoci by sme sotva zvládli naše pozemské povinnosti.
