Lacná kniha Apple Tree Yard (-90%)
"There can't be a woman alive who hasn't once realised, in a moment of panic, that she's in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong man. Louise Doughty, more sure-footed with each novel, leads her unnerved reader into dark territory. A compelling and bravely-written book." (Hilary Mantel). "A superb novel. Grown-up, genuinely suspenseful, wonderfully well-constructed, intelligent and provocative. I really didn't want to finish it. And I don't say that very often." (Julie Myerson). "Once you start you can't stop reading. Terrific." (Helen Dunmore). Yvonne Carmichael has worked hard to achieve the life she always wanted: a high-flying career in genetics, a beautiful home, a good relationship with her husband and their two grown-up children. Then one day she meets a stranger at the Houses of Parliament and, on impulse, begins a passionate affair with him - a decision that will put everything she values at risk. At first she believes she can keep the relationship separate from the rest of her life, but she can't control what happens next. All of her careful plans spiral into greater deceit and, eventually, a life-changing act of violence. Apple Tree Yard is a psychological thriller about one woman's adultery and an insightful examination of the values we live by and the choices we make, from an acclaimed writer at the height of her powers.

Fancy Bear Goes Phishing
Hacking, espionage, war and cybercrime as you've never read about them before
Fancy Bear was hungry. Looking for embarrassing information about Hillary Clinton, the elite hacking unit within Russian military intelligence broke into the Democratic National Committee network, grabbed what it could, and may have contributed to the election of Donald Trump.
Robert Morris was curious. Experimenting one night, the graduate student from Cornell University released "the Great Worm" and became the first person to crash the internet.
Dark Avenger was in love. To impress his crush, the Bulgarian hacker invented the first mutating computer virus-engine and nearly destroyed the anti-virus industry.
Why is the internet so insecure? How do hackers exploit its vulnerabilities? Fancy Bear Goes Phishing tells the stories of five great hacks, their origins, motivations and consequences. As well as Fancy Bear, Robert Morris and Dark Avenger, we meet Cameron Lacroix, a sixteen-year-old from South Boston, who hacked Paris Hilton's cell phone because he wanted to be famous and Paras Jha, a Rutgers undergraduate, who built a giant botnet designed to get him out of his calculus exam and disrupt the online game Minecraft, but which almost destroyed the internet in the process. Scott Shapiro's five stories demonstrate that computer hacking is not just a tale of technology, but of human beings.
Yet as Shapiro shows, hackers do not just abuse computer code - they exploit the philosophical principles of computation: the very features that make computers possible also make hacking possible. He explains how our information society works, the ways our data is stored and manipulated, and why it is so subject to exploitation. Both intellectual romp and dramatic true-crime narrative, Fancy Bear Goes Phishing exposes the secrets of the digital age.

Ultimate Urban Makeover
After many were demolished or 'modernised' beyond recognition in the post-war period, terrace houses were rediscovered in the 1980s, as people moved back to the inner city. Period features were tenderly replaced but many of the buildings remained as
they had originally been: small, dark and impractical for family living in the 21st century. This book looks at some of the innovative methods employed by architects to transform these heritage beauties into practical family homes. Blending old and n
ew to create a new form for contemporary living, while still respecting the past, is the challenge faced by architects and renovators. The many projects in this book have been collected from around the world and provide abundant ideas and words of ad
vice for anyone faced with the daunting prospect of renovating an older home.

Stormrage
Když byl svět Azeroth ještě mladý, přinesli na něj řád bohům podobní titánové, kteří přetvářeli jeho země i moře k obrazu svému. Po celou dobu měli před očima jako vzor velkolepý plán, dokonalou podobu světa, kterou si sami vysnili. A přestože tito titáni Azeroth už dávno opustili, jejich úchvatné dílo přetrvalo. Bezchybná verze skutečného světa se nazývá Smaragdový sen - svěží, divoká a prvotní podoba… světa WARCRAFT.
Smaragdový sen halí mnohá tajemství stejně jako jejich samotářské strážce - zelenou dračí letku. Některá odhalili druidi, kteří do Smaragdového světa už mnoho let vstupují, aby jeho prostřednictvím sledovali tok života v Azerothu a plnili tak svůj nejdůležitější úkol - udržovat přírodní rovnováhu.
Ne všechny sny jsou ale příjemné. V poslední době se Smaragdovým snem začíná šířit Smaragdová Noční můra, zkažený prostor plný temnoty, který proměňuje Sen v místo plné nepředstavitelného děsu a hrůzy. Noční můra zcela nečekaně uvěznila i zelené draky, kteří z ní následně vyšli se znetvořenými těly a zvrácenou myslí. Pro druidy, kteří do stále temnějšího Snu vcházejí, je čím dál těžší - a často zcela nemožné - z něj uniknout.
Druidi nejsou ovšem jedinou obětí Noční můry, neboť ta zasahuje stále víc a víc tvorů. Její rostoucí síle možná podlehl i Malfurion Stormrage, první z azerothských druidů. Světem se šíří zlé sny a najít a osvobodit Malfuriona se zdá být jediná možnost.
Nepřátelé přírody se brzy dozví skutečný význam jména STORMRAGE.
