Foxglove
Jej život visí na vlásku
Keď sa zdá, že Signa konečne našla šťastie, Osud opäť zamieša karty. Príťažlivý a nepolapiteľný Smrtihlavov brat totiž túži po pomste za smrť milovanej ženy. Je odhodlaný získať si Signu za každú cenu a akýmikoľvek prostriedkami. Akoby to nestačilo, po vražde vojvodu z Berness je obvinený Elijah Hawthorne a zachrániť ho môže len Osud. Preto Signa v jeho spoločnosti trávi čoraz viac času a odhaľuje nové schopnosti, ktoré sú s ním prepojené viac, ako by si priala. Skutočný páchateľ môže byť ktokoľvek, a tak nebezpečenstvo hrozí na každom kroku. A keď dôveru medzi ňou a sesternicou Blythe naruší nečakané priznanie, Signa sa musí rozhodnúť. Podvolí sa hre, ktorú s ňou Osud hrá, alebo bude veriť vlastnému srdcu?

The Maidens
Edward Fosca is a murderer. Of this Mariana is certain. But Fosca is untouchable. A handsome and charismatic Greek tragedy professor at Cambridge University, Fosca is adored by staff and students alike - particularly by the members of a secret society of female students known as The Maidens.
Mariana Andros is a brilliant but troubled group therapist who becomes fixated on The Maidens when one member, a friend of Mariana's niece Zoe, is found murdered in Cambridge.
Mariana, who was once herself a student at the university, quickly suspects that behind the idyllic beauty of the spires and turrets, and beneath the ancient traditions, lies something sinister. And she becomes convinced that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is guilty of the murder. But why would the professor target one of his students? And why does he keep returning to the rites of Persephone, the maiden, and her journey to the underworld?
When another body is found, Mariana's obsession with proving Fosca's guilt spirals out of control, threatening to destroy her credibility as well as her closest relationships. But Mariana is determined to stop this killer, even if it costs her everything - including her life.

Snadné kytarové skladbičky 2
Snadné kytarové skladbičky 2 jsou vhodným instruktivním doplňkem jakékoliv kytarové školy pro začátečníky. Opět jsou doplněny stručnou metodickou poznámkou, která vychází z podstaty tvůrčího záměru upevnit základní návyky kytarové hry. Tyto skladbičky s romantickým nádechem jsou určeny pro žáky 2.a 3. ročníku základních uměleckých škol ve věku 9-11 let.
Skladbičky vznikaly podle potřeby žáků zlepšit tvoření tónu a tím i funkci pravé ruky, zlepšit pozici prstů na hmatníku a zdokonalit základní prvky kytarové hry. Každá skladbička má tedy určitý metodický záměr. Technika hry, která je zde charakterizována větším vydržováním prstů levé ruky na strunách s prozníváním strun a v pravé ruce následnou přípravou a hrou ze strun, umožňuje lepší a konkrétnější výrazové prostředky pro přednes s adekvátní artikulací. Nejsou to ale etudy, které by měly techniku hry rozvíjet, nýbrž přednesové skladbičky, ve kterých je konkrétní zlepšená technika hry začleněna do muzikálního přednesu. Proto je potřeba skladbičky nejen odehrát, ale přitom také podporovat spontánní dětskou muzikalitu. Obsah:
Stará píseň / Old Song / Altes Lied
Swingově a líně / With Swing and Lazylike / Faul und mit Swing
Jako valčík / Like a Waltz / Wie ein Walzer
Nevzpomínky / Non-memories / Fehlende Erinnerungen

Andy Warhol - Prints
"I'm for mechanical art," said Andy Warhol (1928-87). "When I took up silkscreening, it was to more fully exploit the preconceived image through commercial techniques of multiple reproduction." Printmaking was a vital artistic practice for Warhol. Prints figure prominently throughout his career from his earliest work as a commercial illustrator in the 1950s to the collaborative silkscreens made in the Factory during the 1960s and the commissioned portfolios of his final years. In their fascination with popular culture and provocative subverting of the difference between original and copy, Warhol's prints are recognized now as a prescient forerunner of today's hyper-sophisticated, hyper-saturated and hyper-accelerated visual culture. Andy Warhol: Prints, published to accompany a major exhibition at the Portland Art Museum--the largest of its kind ever to be presented--includes approximately 250 of Warhol's prints and ephemera from the collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer, including iconic silkscreen prints of Campbell's soup cans and Marilyn Monroe. Organized chronologically and by series, Andy Warhol: Prints establishes the range of Warhol's innovative graphic production as it evolved over the course of four decades, with a particular focus on Warhol's use of different printmaking techniques, beginning with illustrated books and ending with screen printing.

Immortality: A Love Story
Hazel Sinnett is alone. She's half-convinced the events of the year before - the immortality, Beecham's vial - were a figment of her imagination. She doesn't even know if Jack is alive or dead. All she can really do is run her free clinic, helping people and maintaining Hawthornden Castle as it starts to decay around her.
When saving a life leads to her arrest, Hazel seems doomed to rot in prison until a message intervenes: Hazel has been specifically requested to be the personal physician of Princess Charlotte, the sickly daughter of King George IV. Soon Hazel is dragged into the glamour and romance of a court where everyone has something to hide, especially the ladies of the princess's close circle, who never seem to stay hurt for long . . .
Meanwhile, Jack Currer has been trying to find a way to die. He's been traveling across the Atlantic, hoarding any information that could cure his immortality and let him spend a normal life with Hazel. When he hears that Beecham has died, he immediately goes to London to find out how he achieved it - and reunites with Hazel once again.
As their search for the immortality cure entangles them more and more with the British court, Hazel and Jack realize that a life together is not the only thing at stake. Malicious forces are at work in the monarchy, and they are very interested in living forever . . .

Lacná kniha Hra lží 4 - Hra na schovávanou (-70%)
Hrávaly jsme s kamarádkami hry lží.
Moje dvojče teď jednu žije.
Když jsem ještě žila, naše rodina mi připadala dokonalá. Adoptivní rodiče mě zbožňovali a mladší sestra Laurel se mě snažila ve všem napodobit. Ale když teď moje znovunalezená sestra-dvojče Emma zaujala mé místo a pátrá po mém vrahovi, obě zjišťujeme, jak je tahle rodina ve skutečnosti problematická.
Laurel dolézá za mým bývalým klukem a na Emmu vrhá nenávistné pohledy. A ukazuje se, že rodiče něco obrovského tají – mohlo by to být důvodem mé smrti?
Jak daleko hodlají zajít, aby udrželi tajemství pod pokličkou? Mně už nikdo neublíží, ale Emma to ještě může pěkně schytat. A jestli si nedá pozor, půjde pod kytičky i ona…
Hra lží je strhující šestidílná série o tajemstvích, lžích a děsivých následcích od Sary Shepardové, autorky úspěšné řady Roztomilé malé lhářky. Podle obou knižních předloh se také natáčejí televizní seriály, které vysílá americká stanice ABC Family.

Unlearning Silence
Having a seat at the table doesn't mean that your voice gets heard. Knowing something is wrong doesn't make it easy to speak up. But this silencing - intentional or not - has profound consequences on our work and life. It blocks talent, skews decisions and causes teams and individuals to fail. So what if there was another way?
Drawing on her experience as a lecturer at Harvard Law School and as a Managing Partner at one of the world's leading leadership development companies, Elaine Lin Hering delves into the roots of silence, examining the patterns that keep us trapped, and showcases the impact that rewiring unconscious behaviours can have on innovation, creativity and collaboration.
From the boardroom to the classroom, from personal relationships to wider communities, Hering shows us how we can have more authentic conversations, foster inclusive spaces and amplify all voices. Because only by unlearning silence can we fully unleash talent, speak our minds, and be more complete versions of ourselves... and help other people do the same.
Paul Cezanne
The incomparable play of light and color in Paul Cezanne's work was the foundation of his reputation as a forerunner of modernism. From the start he went his own way, and his paintings initially evoked a lack of understanding in art critics of the time, as well as ridicule. Despite his romantic, baroque, impressionist, and finally classical influences, it is still difficult to ascribe Cezanne to any particular art movement. Still, which specific places left lasting impressions on the scion of a provincial banker's family? What and who were major influences supporting and advancing his innovative oeuvre?
James H. Rubin traces Cezanne's life and work from A to Z in this brief volume, creating an image of a painter who wanted to transform painting itself. The author-and established connoisseur-succeeds in closely approaching the artist while at the same time maintaining the necessary distance to his inimitable paintings.
The Winter Duke
Once Ekata’s brother is finally named heir to the dukedom of Kylma Above, nothing will keep her at home with her murderous family - not even Kylma Below, a mesmerizing underwater kingdom that provides her family with magic. But then they fall under a strange, incurable sleeping sickness, and in the space of a single night, Ekata inherits the title of duke, her brother's captivating warrior bride, and all the dangers of the throne.
