When We Cease to Understand the World
When We Cease to Understand the World shows us great minds striking out into dangerous, uncharted terrain.
Fritz Haber, Alexander Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schroedinger: these are among the luminaries into whose troubled minds we are thrust as they grapple with the most profound questions of existence. They have strokes of unparalleled genius, they alienate friends and lovers, they descend into isolated states of madness. Some of their discoveries revolutionise our world for the better; others pave the way to chaos and unimaginable suffering. The lines are never clear.
With breakneck pace and wondrous detail, Benjamin Labatut uses the imaginative resources of fiction to break open the stories of scientists and mathematicians who expanded our notions of the possible.

But Banks is on holiday, blissfully unaware of the terrible chain of events set in motion by the discovery of a loaded gun in a young woman's bedroom, and his daughter's involvement with the ultimate bad boy ...

Lacná kniha Sing you Home
Every life has a soundtrack. "All you have to do is listen. Music has set the tone for most of Zoe Baxter's life. There's the melody that reminds her of the summer she spent rubbing baby oil on her stomach in pursuit of the perfect tan. A dance beat
that makes her think of using a fake ID to slip into a nightclub. A dirge that marked the years she spent trying to get pregnant. For better or for worse, music is the language of memory. It is also the language of love. In the aftermath of a series
of personal tragedies, Zoe throws herself into her career as a music therapist. When an unexpected friendship slowly blossoms into love, she makes plans for a new life, but to her shock and inevitable rage, some people--even those she loves and trust
s most--don't want that to happen. "Sing You Home "is about identity, love, marriage, and parenthood. It's about people wanting to do the right thing for the greater good, even as they work to fulfill their own personal desires and dreams. And it's a
bout what happens when the outside world brutally calls into question the very thing closest to our hearts: "family."

Dylan Bob - Triplicate 3LP
Každý disk prezentuje tematicky uspořádané deseti písňové sekvence, skládající se ze skladeb nejlepších amerických autorů v interpretaci Boba Dylana jako zpěváka, aranžéra a kapelníka.
Třídiskové studiové album Boba Dylana Triplicate vyjde 31. března 2017 a bude obsahovat třicet nových nahrávek klasických amerických skladeb. Jedná se o úplně první třídiskové album ve zpěvákově diskografii, každá část je individuálně pojmenována a uspořádána do deseti písňových sekvencí. Triplicate je v pořadí třicáté osmé studiové album Boba Dylana a navazuje na na desku Fallen Angels z roku 2016.
Pro účely nahrávání alba pozval Dylan svoji kapelu do Hollywood’s Capitol Studios, aby společně vybraly skladby z řady amerických nahrávek, včetně Charlese Strouse a Lee Adams (“Once Upon A Time”), Harolda Arlena a Teda Koehlera (“Stormy Weather”), Harolda Hupfielda (“As Time Goes By”), Cy Colemana a Carolyn Leigh (“The Best Is Yet To Come”). Názvy jednotlivých částí jsou ‘Til The Sun Goes Down, Devil Dolls a Comin’ Home Late.
Obě předchozí Dylanova alba klasických amerických písní, Fallen Angels (2016) a Shadows in the Night (2015), se stala celosvětovými hity a získala Grammy nominace v kategorii Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. V prosinci 2016 získal Bob Dylan prestižní Nobelovu cenu za literaturu “za vytvoření nových básnických výrazů v rámci velké americké písňové tradice.” Bob Dylan prodal za svoji kariéru více než 125 milionů nahrávek po celém světě.
