Přelomové, nádherně poučné a velmi zábavné pojednání o nejzásadnější revoluci v biologii od dob Darwina - pohled na svět „očima mikroba“, který odhaluje kouzelný a radikálně přestavěný obraz života na Zemi.
Každý živočich, ať už člověk, sépie nebo vosa, je domovem milionů bakterií a dalších mikrobů. Ed Yong, jehož humor je stejně evidentní jako jeho vzdělání, nás ponouká k tomu, abychom se na sebe a své zvířecí společníky podívali v novém světle - ne jako na jedince, ale spíše jako na vzájemně propojené a závislé davy, kterými nepochybně jsme. Mikrobi v našem těle jsou součástí našeho imunitního systému a chrání nás před chorobami. V hlubokých oceánech se nacházejí záhadní tvorové bez úst a střev, kterým veškerou energii zajišťují mikrobi. Bakterie poskytují sépiím pláště neviditelnosti, pomáhají škůdcům likvidovat lesy a umožňují parazitům způsobovat nemoci postihující miliony lidí.
Mnoho lidí mikroby považuje za patogeny předurčené k likvidaci, ale ti, kteří s námi žijí - mikrobiom - formují naše tělo, chrání naše zdraví, utvářejí naši identitu a zaručují nám neuvěřitelné schopnosti. V této ohromující knize vás Ed Yong zavede na velkolepou výpravu za našimi mikrobiálními partnery a představí vám vědce v předních liniích vývoje. Změní váš pohled na přírodu a zároveň i vnímání našeho místa v ní.

The Harley-Davidson Book. Refueled
First thing that comes to mind when you hear the name Harley-Davidson? Freedom, speed, roaring engines and passion on two wheels. And no other motorcycle brand in the world has the nearly mystical reputation of a Harley-Davidson. For more than a hundred years, this American classic from Milwaukee has shaped the motorcycle world.
The fascination centers on the typical 45-degree, V2 engine. Over time, single-cylinder engines have come and gone from the Harley lineup, but the two-cylinder engine has been the defining style. Like a sculpture, it sits deep in the intricate tubular steel frame-an aesthetic revelation...and an auditory one as well. Once you've heard the gruff babbling of an Early Shovel, you're addicted for life! This is a book about the power and beauty of the engines and the elegance and strength of these machines from Lake Michigan. It is an homage to the flatheads, knuckleheads, panheads, ironheads, the shovels and Evolutions, and the modern-day fuel injectors. And at the same time it is a presentation of the water-cooled V2, the Street models, the electrified Live-Wire as well as the new Harley motorcycle genres: the naked bike "Bronx", the large enduro "Pan America" and medium-heavy e-bikes. The Harley-Davidson Book - Refueled is a visual journey through a tradition deeply rooted in the spirit of freedom of the USA. What would Easy Rider be without its iconic heroes, "Billy Bike" and "Captain America," the most famous motorcycles in the world? This free-wheeling attitude is conveyed in opulent, photo-rich stories and articles about the unique Harley-Davidson lifestyle. It's a road movie you can experience yourself, vibrating like an old knucklehead in its rigid frame.
This refueled edition of our bestselling Harley-Davidson book features 32 new pages and several updated chapters, honouring the Harley in all its facets. Ride through the history of the Milwaukee legend, get up close to its pristine design, and explore the Harley-Davidson lifestyle that sees riders on the beach, the ice, or in the mountains. A must-have book for all who agree with the grandson of company founder, Willie G. Davidson: "On the eighth day, God created Harley-Davidson.

A szerencsejáték szabályai 3: A számkivetett herceg
Egy herceg, akinek oda a jó híre...
Temple-t azzal vádolják, hogy meggyilkolta Mara Lowe-t az esküvője előtti éjszakán, ő azonban nem emlékszik semmire.
A férfi azóta, immár tizenkét éve nagy vagyonra és hatalomra tett szert London legexkluzívabb kaszinójának tulajdonosaként, feloldozást azonban nem kapott - egészen addig, amíg egyik este meg nem jelenik Mara, hogy felajánlja az egyetlen dolgot, amire a férfi vágyik.
Mara tervei között nem szerepelt, hogy valaha is visszatér abba a világba, amelyet maga mögött hagyott, de amikor az öccse súlyos adósságot halmoz fel Temple kaszinójában, kénytelen ajánlatot tenni a férfinak: a nyilvánosság elé lép, hogy elmondja az igazságot. Azt, hogy a férfi nem gyilkos.
Az alku kecsegtetőnek tűnik, azonban Temple-nek be kell látnia, hogy nem lesz egyszerű dolga ezzel a titokzatos, őrjítő nővel, aki láthatóan bármit képes kockára tenni a számára fontos dolgokért. Temple minden erejével igyekszik ellenállni Marának, és megóvni a saját szívét.
Vajon mindenki megkapja, amit szeretne?

The History of a Difficult Child
Selam is the youngest child in a large turbulent family. Even before she is born, her omniscience animates life in a Small Town in 1980s southwestern Ethiopia. Selam and her father listen to the radio in secret as the socialist military junta that recently overthrew the government seizes properties and wages civil war in the North. The Asmelashes, once an enterprising, land-owning family, are ostracized under the new regime. In the Small Town where they live, nosy women convene around coffee ceremonies multiple times a day, the gossip spreading like wildfire.
As Selam's mother, the powerful and relentlessly dignified Degitu, grows ill, she embraces a persecuted, Pentecostal God and insists her family convert alongside her. The Asmelashes stand solidly in opposition to the times, and Selam grows up seeking revenge on despotic comrades, neighbourhood bullies, and a ruthless God. Wise beyond her years yet thoroughly naive, she contends with an inner fury, a profound sadness, and a throbbing, unstoppable pursuit of education, freedom, and love.
The History of a Difficult Child is about what happens when mother, God, and country are at odds, and how one difficult child finds her voice.

Waking Dead Things
Sixteen and stressed. It wasn’t the driver’s test that had Ravyn on edge. It was the Inquisition’s test.
Every four years, the Inquisition tested her for any hint of paranormal abilities that would mark her as a witch.
Oh, their methods had evolved over the centuries. They didn’t burn witches at the stake anymore. Today, burning a witch meant chemical and surgical brain surgery to eliminate any unnatural talents the witch possessed. Internationally backed, the new secular Inquisition formed an elite police force standing against darkness.
Yeah, right. Ravyn knew firsthand what it meant. She helped her mom take care of her grandmother, accused witch, burned by the Inquisition, and barely able to function now. Just being her granddaughter was enough to put Ravyn under suspicion.
So, yeah, turning sixteen was stressful. Especially since she suspected she might be a witch after all.

The Dawn of Language
Who was "the first speaker" and what was their first message?
An erudite, tightly woven and beautifully written account of one of humanity's greatest mysteries - the origins of language.
Drawing on evidence from many fields, including archaeology, anthropology, neurology and linguistics, Sverker Johansson weaves these disparate threads together to show how our human ancestors evolved into language users. The Dawn of Language provides a fascinating survey of how grammar came into being and the differences or similarities between languages spoken around the world, before exploring how language eventually emerged in the very remote human past.
Our intellectual and physiological changes through the process of evolution both have a bearing on our ability to acquire language. But to what extent is the evolution of language dependent on genes, or on environment? How has language evolved further, and how is it changing now, in the process of globalisation? And which aspects of language ensure that robots are not yet intelligent enough to reconstruct how language has evolved?
Johansson's far-reaching, authoritative and research-based approach to language is brought to life through dozens of astonishing examples, both human and animal, in a fascinatingly erudite and entertaining volume for anyone who has ever contemplated not just why we speak the way we do, but why we speak at all.

Tajomstvo olivového stromu
Predstavte si situáciu, že jedna rodina má jedináčika syna. Je milovaný, vyrastá s tým, že jedného dňa všetko zdedí … A potom sa jedného dňa rodičia rozhodnú, že si adoptujú ešte niekoľko ďalších detí. Ten syn sa naštve. Jednoducho nedokáže zniesť to, že on už nie je ten jediný a napokon odíde z domu.
Rodinka funguje ďalej. Adoptované deti sa cítia akoby boli vlastné…
Zrazu po dlhom, dlhom čase sa prvorodený syn, vlastný syn opäť vráti domov. Ako zareagujú adoptované deti? Príjmu ho naspäť? Dajú mu naspäť pozíciu prvorodeného syna? Uvedomia si, že on je vlastný syn a ony sú len adoptované?
Keď apoštol Pavol v 11. kapitole Listu Rimanom predstavuje Boží plán s Izraelom a národmi, vykresľuje obraz „Olivového stromu“ a nazýva ho tajomstvom. Je tak ohromený Božou múdrosťou, že volá: „Ó, hĺbka Božieho bohatstva, múdrosti a poznania! Aké nepochopiteľné sú jeho súdy a aké nevyspytateľné jeho cesty. Veď kto poznal Pánovo zmýšľanie? Alebo kto bol jeho radcom?“ (Rim 11,33-34)
V knihe, ktorú držíte v rukách, sa vám autor pokúsi poodhaliť toto tajomstvo.

Stoner
A beautiful hardback edition of the greatest rediscovered classic of recent years.
William Stoner enters the University of Missouri at nineteen to study agriculture. A seminar on English literature changes his life, and he never returns to work on his father's farm. Stoner becomes a teacher. He marries the wrong woman. His life is quiet, and after his death, his colleagues remember him rarely.
Yet with truthfulness, compassion and intense power, this novel uncovers a story of universal value - of the conflicts, defeats and victories of the human race that pass unrecorded by history - and in doing so reclaims the significance of an individual life.
The Fight of His Life
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Gatekeepers comes a revelatory, news-making look at how President Joe Biden and his seasoned team have battled to achieve their agenda—based on the author’s extraordinary access to the White House during two years of crises at home and abroad.
In January of 2021, the Biden administration inherited the most daunting array of challenges since FDR’s presidency: a lethal pandemic, a plummeting economy, an unresolved twenty-year war, and the aftermath of an attack on the Capitol that polarized the country. Waves of crises followed, including the fallout from a divisive Supreme Court, raging inflation, and Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
Now, in The Fight of His Life, prizewinning journalist Chris Whipple takes us inside the Oval Office as the critical decisions of Biden’s presidency are being made. With remarkable access to both President Biden and his inner circle—including Chief of Staff Ron Klain, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and CIA Director William Burns—Whipple pulls back the curtain on the internal power struggles and back-room compromises. Featuring shocking new details about how renegade Trump officials enabled the transfer of power, which key staffers really make the White House run (it’s probably not who you think), why Joe Biden no longer speaks freely around his security detail, and what he really thinks of Vice President Kamala Harris, the press, and living in the White House, The Fight of His Life delivers a stunning portrait of politics on the edge.

Chasing Shadows
A compulsive true crime thriller about modern-day international drugs trafficking, terrorism and geopolitical intrigue following an investigation driven by one DEA agent, Jack Kelly.
Three very different men battle to control their destinies as they hurtle through the hall of mirrors of the global shadow economy.
Jack Kelly, a veteran US Drug Enforcement Administration agent, tasked with following a trail of dirty money across continents from a top-secret investigative unit based in Virginia.
Salvatore Pititto is an ambitious Mafia capo working on a vast cocaine shipment who becomes unexpectedly pulled into an arms-smuggling conspiracy.
Mustafa Badreddine is a ghost-like master terrorist wanted by governments across the world who has been secretly dispatched to Syria for his final mission.
Each man, born in radically different circumstances in the 1960s, is in his own way grappling with the powerful and unstoppable forces that shape the world around us; forces which topple governments, send refugees fleeing across borders, and put guns in the hands of mercenaries and militias. Each has devoted his whole life to an institution - the DEA, the Mafia and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah - and each will eventually be destroyed or betrayed by the thing they believe in the most.
Set during 2015 and 2016, as the global order began to implode under the pressures of the Syrian civil war and the European refugee crisis, CHASING SHADOWS looks back over the historical conflicts, events and personal histories that have shaped the lives of these three men. It's a book that shows the betrayals, the disillusionment and the violence as Jack Kelly hunts down his targets.
