Dear Brother-in-law - erotic short story (EN)
The house is silent. Jacob and I are the only two who sleep in the main building. I haven't slept in the same bed with Joel for years, because he snores. At least that's what we tell one another. I've always been a sensual person. This summer, in particular, I've been aching for touches and intimacy.

Inequality and the 1%
Fully updated new edition: Why we cannot afford the rich in post Brexit Britain
Since the Great Recession hit in 2008, the 1% has only grown richer while the rest find life increasingly tough. The gap between the haves and the have-nots has turned into a chasm. While the rich have found new ways of protecting their wealth, everyone else has suffered the penalties of austerity.
But inequality is more than just economics. Being born outside the 1% has a dramatic impact on a person's potential: reducing life expectancy, limiting educational and work prospects, and even affecting mental health.
What is to be done? In Inequality and the 1% leading social thinker Danny Dorling lays bare the extent and true cost of the division in our society and asks what have the super-rich ever done for us? He shows that it is the 1% that threatens us with the most harm and why we must urgently redress the balance
Pilarová Eva - Proměny 3CD
Trojalbum s tím nejpodstatnějším, co Eva Pilarová za skvělou kariéru nazpívala! Vstupní téma Co je to láska předznamenává důležité období Semaforu, zde dokumentované řadou songů, včetně těch z filmu Kdyby tisíc klarinetů. Druhá polovina šedesátých let je pokračováním mimořádných hitových úspěchů, ať už s Waldemarem Matuškou, Jaromírem Mayerem či sólově. Muzikálové melodie z Divotvorného hrnce, ale i české verze S. Gainsbourga nebo J. Brela, Cole Porter či výtečné skladby „Bobana“ Ondráčka (Rekviem), to všechno tu spisovatelem Škvoreckým oslavovaná „FitzPilarka“ stihla. Druhé CD je stejně pestré: Sekáči jdou, Rodeo nebo Já do hry dávám víc, ale také písně z muzikálu West Side Story. O slovo se přihlásil Karel Svoboda (Hluchý zvon, Dám tisíc dukátů nebo Oheň a led), B. Ondráček dodal další velké hity Jsem tvá dlouhá pouť, Rodeo či Léto, léto, Les Humphries „zapůjčil“ Mexiko a film Takoví jsme byli ústřední melodii. Závěrečné CD pak nabízí třeba skvostné Rotovo Siciliana (Speak Softly Love), Mozartův tady skoro jazzový Turecký pochod, duet s Petrou Janů Jen Pán Bůh ví, trvale parádní číslo v podobě Montiho čardáše i úplně současné nahrávky. Téměř sedm desítek písní, dosud nejkompletnější kompilace Paní zpěvačky, jež vzorně naplnila název trojalba. Její Proměny jsou totiž atraktivně různorodé, ale znamenitou muzikálností sjednocené do výsledného silného posluchačského zážitku. Výběr největších hitů z let 1961 až 2008!

Bedtime Stories for Adults
Bedtime stories aren’t just for kids anymore…
Do you find that you suffer from insomnia, no matter how hard you try to cope with it? Are you always exhausted even though you know that you shouldn’t be? If you find that bedtime is impossible for you to cope with, then this book is for you!
As you read through this book, you will be introduced to the idea of using stories and mindfulness to help yourself drift off to sleep. There is a reason that bedtime stories are so recommended for getting children to sleep. After all—having time to enjoy a story allows your mind to relax and allows you to begin to focus more on the moment. As you listen to bedtime stories, or as you read them, you are able to feel at peace. You can allow your mind to focus on those details that you might not otherwise be able to. You will find that being able to enjoy a story will help your mind relax and grant you that ability to sleep.
In this book, you will first be introduced to the idea of mindful meditation so you can begin to understand just how powerful it can be. Then, you will be provided with several options for bedtime stories. Each story is designed to be a calming slice of life story about the various adventures (and sometimes misadventures) of Sophie Rogers, a young woman that lives in the Pacific Northwest with her German shepherd pal, Bella. Together, and sometimes separately, they get out and enjoy their lives, and the stories of her day to day life can help you to relax and soothe yourself into a state in which you will be able to relax. As you read, you should find yourself calming down and preparing for a night of sleep. Each of the options that are provided to you should be fun and engaging without keeping you up at night.
Finally, at the end of the book, you will be given two more traditional mindful meditations that are designed to trigger that state of mindfulness within yourself so you can then begin to relax and enjoy a restful night’s sleep. When you learn to use these various techniques, you can work with yourself to ensure that you can calm yourself down when you need to, allowing yourself to get that relaxation that you need.
If you’re ready to start sleeping better, then you are in the right spot. This book may be able to help you relax enough to fall asleep! As you read, you can expect to see:
An adventure in which Sophie and Bella go hiking and get lost in the mountains
A rush for Sophie and her best friend, Cara, to get to the airport in time for their vacation to Greece that teaches them a valuable lesson
A tour through the Acropolis of Athens, the place of Sophie’s dreams
A trip through a beautiful mansion as Cara tries to buy a house in the area and tours some of the nicest areas that town has to offer
A story in which Sophie runs into her old roommate from college and catches up with her
A misadventure through the mall where Sophie tries something new and learns not to trust all of the different activities and ideas suggested on the internet
Two guided meditations to help you fall asleep with ease
If you’re ready to fall asleep, then don’t let another day pass you buy. Enjoy these stories and see if sleep is more within your grasp than you realized!

Outlive
This is the ultimate manual for living better and longer.
For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Dr Peter Attia, the world's top longevity expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary LIMITLESS, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity.
This isn't 'biohacking,' it's science: a well-founded strategic approach to extending lifespan while improving our physical, cognitive and emotional health, making each decade better than the one before. With Outlive's practical advice and roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.
'One of the most important books you'll ever read.' - Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics
The Global Merchants
The Sassoons were one of the great business dynasties of the nineteenth century, as eminent as traders as the Rothschilds were bankers.
This book reveals the secrets behind the family's phenomenal success: how a handful of Jewish exiles from Ottoman Baghdad forged a mercantile juggernaut from their new home in colonial Bombay, the vast network of agents, informants and politicians they built, and the way they came to bridge East and West, culturally as well as commercially. Through the lives these ambitious figures built for themselves, the reader is drawn into a captivating world of politics and power, innovation and intrigue, high society and empire.
The Global Merchants is thus at once a portrait of a single family and a panorama of the hundred and thirty years of their prominence: from the Opium Wars to the American Civil War, the establishment of the British Raj to India's independence. Together these give a fresh perspective on one of the defining forces of their age and the present: globalization. The Sassoons were variously its agents, advocates and casualties, and watching them moving through the world, we perceive the making of our own.
Contemporary Apartments
This book presents recent projects by renowned architects and designers. These classic and contemporary apartments and lofts, some spread over two or even three floors, have all been transformed into distinctive and impressive homes. The transformation and interior design of apartments calls for a special approach. Apartments are designed for city lifestyles and their specifications may be more restrictive than for houses, often having less available space and a lack of natural light. They also have to offer a refuge from the aggressive world outside, with its noise and pollution. All of these factors combine to make city apartments a real design challenge and an appealing exercise in interior design: improving the circulation between the various living spaces, adapting the layout to modern lifestyles, creating views through the home and making the best possible use of the available space. Furnishing compact volumes, decorating a "box" that has no character, integrating different functions to create a harmonious home: this can be a tricky job for the architect and interior designer.

Bodily Harm
A clever and addictive thriller from the bestselling author of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments
Rennie Wilford is a young journalist running from her life. When she takes an assignment to a Caribbean island she tumbles into a world where no one is quite what they seem, least of all ‘Yankee’ Paul.
Is Paul a drug smuggler? A CIA operative? Either way he’s trouble and his offer to Rennie of a no-hooks, no strings affair, will suddenly draw her into in a lethal web of corruption.
Capitol Records
From the Beatles to Beck, Sinatra to Sam Smith, a parade of era-defining artists have passed through the doors of the Capitol Records Tower, one of Hollywood's most distinctive landmarks and home to one of the world's most defining labels for the past 75+ years.
To commemorate this extraordinary history of recorded music, TASCHEN presents this official account of Capitol Records, from its founding year of 1942 to today. With a foreword by Beck, essays by cultural historians and music and architecture critics, as well as hundreds of images from Capitol's extensive archives, we follow the label's evolution and the making of some of the greatest music of the 20th and 21st centuries. Through pop, rock, country, classical, soul, and jazz, the photographic and musical history includes the label's most successful, cool, hip, and creative stars, as well as the one-hit wonders who had their all-too-brief moments in the spotlight.
Along the way, we encounter the likes of Miles Davis, Nat King Cole, the Kingston Trio, and Frank Sinatra in Capitol's first 20 years; the Beach Boys, the Band, and the Beatles in the 1960s; global rock magnets Pink Floyd, Wings, Steve Miller Band, Bob Seger, and Linda Ronstadt in the 1970s; Beastie Boys, Duran Duran, Radiohead, and Bonnie Raitt in the 1980s and 1990s; and such contemporary stars as Coldplay, Katy Perry, and Sam Smith. An unmissable milestone for music lovers, Capitol Records is a live and kicking celebration of the mighty giant of the industry that created the soundtrack to generations past, present, and future.

The Fox Wife
Some people think foxes go around collecting qi, or life force, but nothing could be further than the truth. We are living creatures, just like you, only usually better looking . . .
Manchuria, 1908: A young woman is found frozen in the snow. Her death is clouded by rumours of foxes, believed to lure people into peril by transforming into beautiful women and men. Bao, a detective with a reputation for sniffing out the truth, is hired to uncover the dead woman's identity. Since childhood, Bao has been intrigued by the fox gods, yet they've remained tantalizingly out of reach. Until, perhaps, now.
Snow is a creature of many secrets, but most of all, she's a mother seeking vengeance. Hunting a murderer, the trail will take her from northern China to Japan, with Bao following doggedly behind. And as their paths draw ever closer together, both Snow and Bao will encounter old friends and new foes, even as more deaths occur.
Epic in scope and full of singular, unforgettable characters, The Fox Wife is a stunning novel about old loves and second chances, the depth of maternal bonds, and ancient folktales that may very well be true.
Hardy Women
A TOP BOOK FOR 2024 IN: THE OBSERVER, INDEPENDENT, SUNDAY TIMES AND BOOKSELLER
'He understands only the women he invents - the others not at all'
Thomas Hardy is one of the most beloved and most-read British authors. His influence on literature and the minds of his readers is singular. But how is it that the novelist who created some of the most memorable and modern female characters in literature had such troubled relationships with real women?
In this highly innovative book, acclaimed biographer Paula Byrne re-examines Hardy's life through the eyes of the women who made him - mother, sisters, girlfriends, wives, muses. The story veers from shocking scenes such as his obsession with the sight of a woman hanged, to poignant vignettes of unfulfilled passion, to fascinating details of working women's lives in the nineteenth century.
Hardy Women is the story of how the magnificent fictional women he invented would not have been possible without the hardship and hardiness of the real ones who shaped his passions and his imagination. It is only through understanding and witnessing these hardy women that we can truly enter the heart of this great novelist and poet.
Crafting Character
How can the discipline of architecture be used as a human-centred practice? Crafting Character presents architecture as a spatial dialogue and an exchange between character and audience, book and reader, building and city in a series of fourteen cinematic vignettes. Fourteen cinematic vignettes highlight projects as personified characters that have their own histories, dreams, secrets and stories to tell. Each vignette emphasises this relational culture and the practice of Chybik + Kristof in working with the common bonds within a space as being more important than any individual arguments and divisions within it.
The first monograph of the Brno-based studio, this volume marks an exciting collaboration between Chybik + Kristof, Lukas Kijonka and ExLovers Studio, Adrian Madlener and Frame Publishers. With a passion for experimentation from all parties, the resulting pages stand apart from traditional monographs. From the design to the prose, the values of relationality and human-centric approaches are imbued in the pages, creating a cinematic reference guide to the practice of Chybik + Kristof.

Brigitte Macron
Brigitte Macron nevét az egész világ ismeri. De mit tudunk valójában Emmanuel Macron feleségéről? A mosolyok és a közvetlenség mögött sok seb rejtőzik: gyerekkori tragédiák, valamint egy lehetetlen szerelem, amikor a 24 év korkülönbség ellenére tanárnő és diákja (a későbbi köztársasági elnök) egymásba szerettek. Brigitte Macron nem véletlenül egészen más, mint az őt megelőző elnökfeleségek az Élysée-palotában. Legalább annyira férje fő munkatársa, mint amennyire elnökfeleség. Maëlle Brun több mint ötven személy vallomása alapján írta meg életrajzát – bepillantva a látszatok, pletykák, külsőségek mögé, olyan mélységben megmutatva Brigitte Macront, ahogy más még sosem.
