Greek Lessons
In a classroom in Seoul, a young woman watches her Greek language teacher at the blackboard. She tries to speak but has lost her voice. Her teacher finds himself drawn to the silent woman, for day by day he is losing his sight.
Soon they discover a deeper pain binds them. For her, in the space of just a few months, she has lost both her mother and the custody battle for her nine-year-old son. For him, it's the pain of growing up between Korea and Germany, being torn between two cultures and languages.
Greek Lessons is a tender love letter to human connection, a novel to awaken the senses, vividly conjuring the essence of what it means to be alive.

Isten egyenlete
Amikor Newton felismerte a gravitáció törvényét, egyesítette az égi és földi jelenségeket irányító szabályokat. Azóta a fizikusok az újabb kölcsönhatásokat egyre nagyobb szabású elméletekbe illesztették. Mégis, talán a legkomolyabb kihívást a két megmaradt elmélet – a relativitáselmélet és a kvantumelmélet – monumentális szintézisének elérése jelenti. Ez lenne a tudomány eddigi eredményeinek megkoronázása, a természetben működő összes kölcsönhatás mélyreható egyesítése egyetlen szép és varázslatos egyenletben, amelynek segítségével választ adhatunk a tudomány legtitokzatosabb rejtélyeire.
Mi történt az ősrobbanás előtt? Mit találnánk egy fekete lyuk mögött? Léteznek-e más univerzumok és más dimenziók? Lehetséges-e az időutazás? Miért vagyunk mi itt? Kaku rávilágít az elméletet övező súlyos ellentmondásokra, amihez több – ebben az alapvető kérdésben egymással ellentétes nézeteket valló – Nobel-díjas tudóst is megszólaltat. A történet magával ragadó és izgalmas, a tét pedig nem kisebb, mint az univerzumról alkotott felfogásunk.
MICHIO KAKU az elméleti fizika professzora a New York Városi Egyetemen; a húrmezőelmélet társalapítója; számos, széles körben elismert tudományos ismeretterjesztő sikerkönyv szerzője. Ő írta Az elme jövője, a Hipertér, A jövő fizikája és A lehetetlen fizikája című könyveket is. Michio Kaku a CBS This Morning című műsorának tudományos szerkesztője, valamint a BBC TV és a Discovery Science Channel számos tévésorozatának, valamint két rádióműsor-sorozat, az Explorations és a Science Fantastic házigazdája.

How To Fly A Horse
In the vein of Susan Cain's QUIET and Malcolm Gladwell's DAVID AND GOLIATH, HOW TO FLY A HORSE is a smart, empowering book that dispels the myths around genius and creativity.
There is a myth about how something new comes to be; that geniuses have dramatic moments of insight where great things and thoughts are born whole. Symphonies are composed complete. Science is accomplished with eureka shrieks. Businesses are built by magic touch.
The myth is wrong. Anyone can create.
Acclaimed technology pioneer Kevin Ashton takes us behind the scenes of creation to reveal the true process of discovery and how 'new' comes to be. From Archimedes to Apple, from Kandinsky to the Coke can, from the Wright brothers - who set out to 'fly a horse' - to Woody Allen, he exposes the seemingly unremarkable individuals, gradual steps, multiple failures and countless ordinary and often uncredited acts that led to our most astounding breakthroughs.
Living in a Mindful Universe
In 2008, Dr Eben Alexander's brain was severely damaged by a devastating case of bacterial meningitis, and he lapsed into a weeklong coma. It was almost certainly a death sentence, but Dr Alexander miraculously survived - and brought back with him an astounding story. During those seven days in coma, he was plunged into the deepest realms of consciousness, and came to understand profound truths about the universe we inhabit. What he learned changed everything he knew about the brain mind, and consciousness and drove him to ask a question confounding the entire scientific community: How do you explain the origins of consciousness if it is not a byproduct of the brain?
In Living in a Mindful Universe, the New York Times bestselling author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heaven shares his insights into the true nature of consciousness. Embracing his radically new worldview, he began a committed program of personal exploration into non-local consciousness. Along the way, he met Karen Newell, who had spent most of her lifetime living the worldview he had only just discovered was possible. Her personal knowledge came from testing various techniques and theories as part of her daily routine. With Living in a Mindful Universe, they share techniques that can be used to tap into our greater mind and explore how the power of the heart can enhance healing, relationships, creativity, guidance and more. Using various modalities related to meditation and mindfulness described herein, you too can gain the power to access that infinite source of knowing so vital to us all.
To the Queen

American scholars William Ringler and Steven May discovered the poem in 1972 in the notebook of a man called Henry Stanford, who is known to have worked in the household of the Lord Chamberlain.It consists of 18 lines.

World Textiles
An updated edition of this indispensable reference, surveying the history of textiles from 25,000 years ago to the present.
The history of textiles, more than that of any other artefact, is a history of human ingenuity. From the very earliest needles of 50,000 years ago to the smart textiles of today, textiles have been fundamental to human existence, and enjoyed, prized and valued by every culture. Silks from China, cottons from India, tapestries from Flanders, dyes from South America - the appeal of different weaves, colours and patterns was long a motivation for trade, the exchange of ideas and sometimes even war.
Mary Schoeser's groundbreaking book, now revised and updated to incorporate new research, presents a chronological survey of textiles around the world from prehistory to the present. It explores how they are made, what they are made from, how they function in society and the ways in which they are valued and given meaning as well as reflecting on the environmental challenges they present today. World Textiles offers an invaluable introduction to this vast and fascinating subject for makers, designers, textile and fashion professionals, collectors and students alike.

Lacná kniha Majka Tárajka (-50%)
Citlivá šiestačka Majka bojuje o svoje miesto na zemi. Nemá rada, keď jej hovoria Majka Tárajka, ona predsa vôbec netára... A už vôbec nevie vystáť, keď sa jej chlapci posmievajú pre chôdzu. Kač-kač-kačica, zahanbujú ju deti, no najviac ju zraňuje, že ju neakceptuje vlastná mama. Akoby jej bola iba na obtiaž, dokonca sa za Majku hanbí. Bráni jej tiež stretávať sa s jedinou kamarátkou, ktorú má. Vídajú sa v škole, no stretávať sa môžu len potajomky, alebo si píšu listy šifrovaným jazykom. Ešteže má svoju starkú, ktorá je pre ňu stelesnením dobra a ľudského tepla. Ona má pre Majku vždy pochopenie.
Vo svojom vnútri veselá šiestačka zažíva trpký pocit vlastnej inakosti a neprijatia. Snaží sa pochopiť útrapy staršej sestry, ktorej rodičia vyhovoria potenciálneho ženícha, lebo chcú pre ňu „lepšiu partiu“. Majka prežíva romantické pocity ku chlapcovi zo susedstva, no zároveň „vie”, že si ju nikto nebude chcieť vziať, „keď je taká chybná…“. Dozvedá sa o životných ranách svojej starej mamy i o hlbokej strate svojej tety – maminej sestry, ktorá má pre ňu, na rozdiel od vlastnej matky, vždy milé slovo.
Pohľad na vnútorné prežívanie mladého dievčaťa spred niekoľkých desiatok rokov až prekvapivo výstižne odzrkadľuje každodenné problémy dnešných detí a mládeže, ktorá síce vyrastá v modernom svete médií a sociálnych sietí, no vo svojom vnútri je rovnaká ako generácia či dve pred ňou. Rieši tie isté problémy „odeté rúchom svojej doby“.
Kniha je prózou pre mládež s autobiografickými prvkami. Mária Ďuríčková v nej zhmotnila svoju túžbu knižne zaznamenať spomienky na svoje detstvo, na svoj rodný kraj. Ide o akýsi akt prináležitosti ku svojim koreňom. Hoci je prevažná časť jej tvorby pre deti fikciou, tu nám autorka umožňuje nahliadnuť do svojich detských liet. Spolu s ňou zažívame istú katarziu, prepracovanie a lepšie pochopenie toho, čo bolo – čias dávno minulých.
Jazyk knihy verne odzrkadľuje obdobie autorkinho detstva, ako aj rázovitosť regiónu, z ktorého pochádzala. Dnešný detský čitateľ sa stretáva s reáliami, ktoré mu môžu byť miestami cudzie, no aj prostredníctvom tejto knihy pochopí, že je dôležité poznať svoju minulosť, aby sme mali na čom stavať budúcnosť.
Kniha vyšla po prvýkrát už v roku 1965. Následne bola niekoľkokrát opätovne vydaná, pričom v roku 1986 bola samotnou autorkou decentne upravená. My vám prinášame práve toto vydanie, spolu s pôvodnými ilustráciami pani ilustrátorky – akademickej maliarky Jarmily Dicovej-Ondrejkovej, ktorá mnohým utkvela v pamäti najmä vďaka ilustráciám šlabikárov, no jej celoživotné dielo je impozantné.
Vydaním knihy o Majke Tárajke by sme si chceli uctiť dielo nezabudnuteľnej spisovateľky Márie Ďuríčkovej, ktorá bola osudom ťažko skúšaná, no životnú silu nachádzala práve v detskom svete rozprávok, tvorbe pre deti.
Poctou pani spisovateľke je aj úvodník venovaný jej životu a dielu, ako aj paralele medzi ňou samotnou a knižnou postavou Majky Tárajky.
Príjemné chvíle pri knihe prajeme novým čitateľom a nostalgický návrat do minulosti všetkým tým, ktorí si na Majku Tárajku čo i len matne spomínajú.

A Claymore-gyémánt esete - Mateknyomozók 1.
Imádják a gyerekeid a matekot? Vagy éppen utálják, és mindig azt kérdezik: "Mikor fogom én ezt használni?"
A Mateknyomozók tudják a választ!
Amikor Ravensburg legnevesebb ékszerüzletéből ellopják a Claymore gyémántot, Stanley-nek és barátainak remek ötlete támad: egy nyomozó ügynökség megalapítása.
Kíváncsisággal és matek iránti rajongással felfegyverkezve nekivágnak a városnak, hogy felgöngyölítsék az ügyet. Nyomozásuk során összetűzésbe keverednek egy becsvágyó rendőrfőnökkel, sötét titkok tárulnak fel előttük, és persze rengeteg turmixot isznak Mabel bisztrójában. Amikor szorult helyzetbe kerülnek, Stanley és barátai arra támaszkodnak, amihez a legjobban értenek: a számokra. Mert a számok sosem hazudnak.
A könyvsorozat, ami olyan, mint...
...a Mission Impossible, csak törtekkel.
...a Sherlock Holmes, csak számológépekkel.
...az NCIS, csak turmixokkal.
...a Jurassic Park, csak dinoszauruszok nélkül.
Várj. Micsoda?
A Mateknyomozók sorozat minden kötete olyan izgalmas rejtélyekkel, okos és vicces szereplőkkel van tele, hogy az olvasó el is felejti, hogy matekozik.
Mert a Mateknyomozók két dolgot tudnak biztosan. Először is, hogy a matek a legjobb dolog a világon. Másodszor, hogy egy bűntény megoldása nem más, mint egy szöveges feladat... Ők meg szöveges feladatokat esznek reggelire!
Az év legsikeresebb detektívsorozata gyerekeknek.
Tökéletes választás minden matek-imádó és matek-utáló 9-12 éves számára.
Csatlakozz a Mateknyomozók sorozat első kalandjához!

No one makes it alone. But there's a reason why some people can get investors or bosses to believe in them while others cannot. And that reason has little to do with experience, pedigree or a polished business plan. Backable people seem to have a hidden quality that inspires others to take action. We often chalk this up to natural talent or charisma . . . either you have 'it' or you don't.
After getting rejected by every investor he pitched, Suneel Gupta had a burning question: could 'it' be learned?
Drawing lessons from hundreds of the world's biggest thinkers, Suneel discovered how to pitch new ideas in a way that has raised millions of dollars, influenced large-scale change inside massive corporations, and even convinced his 8-year-old daughter to clean her room.
Inside the book are long-held secrets from producers of Oscar-winning films, venture capitalists, founders of unicorn-status startups, and executives at iconic companies like Lego, Method and Pixar. Suneel used these invaluable lessons to become the New York Stock Exchange's 'New Face of Innovation'.
Backable reveals how the key to success is not charisma, connections, or even your CV, but rather your ability to persuade others to take a chance on you. This groundbreaking book will show you how.

Dawnshard: A Stormlight Archive novella
Epic fantasy like no other in the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive series, a hefty novella taking place between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War. Discover the stories of often-overshadowed characters: See more of Lopen, the Windrunner, Rysn Ftori and Chiri-Chiri the last larkin.
When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island of Akinah, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn’t fallen into enemy hands. Knights who fly too near find their magic suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea.
Years ago, shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a stormlight-ingesting larkin, a species once thought extinct. Now Rysn’s pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani’s quest and sail into the perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.
