How to Think Like Churchill
Looking at defining moments in Winston Churchill's life and revealing his key principles, philosophies and decisions, this book will teach you how to think like the great man. Remembered for his leadership during the Second World War, Churchill's commitment to 'never surrender', as well as his stirring speeches and radio broadcasts, helped inspire British resistance to the Nazi threat when Britain stood alone against an occupied Europe. As well as a hugely successful politician, Churchill was an officer in the British Army, a journalist, historian and a writer, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. As one of the few voices warning about Nazi Germany in the 1930s, he returned to government to play his part in defeating Nazism, becoming one of the defining figures of the twentieth century. Studying how and why he accomplished what he did, how he overcame personal and professional adversity and stood strong in the face of overwhelming odds, with quotes and passages by and about the great man, you too can learn to think like Churchill.

Three Days to Never
When Albert Einstein told Franklin Roosevelt in 1939 that the atomic bomb was possible, he did not tell the president about another discovery he had made, something so extreme and horrific it remained a secret ...until now. This extraordinary new novel from one of the most brilliant talents in contemporary fiction is a standout literary thriller in which one man stumbles upon the discovery Einstein himself tried to keep hidden. When twelve-year-old Daphne Marrity takes a videotape labeled Pee-wee's Big Adventure from her grandmother's house, neither she nor her college-professor father, Frank Marrity, has any idea that the theft has drawn the attention of both the Israeli Secret Service and an ancient European cabal of occultists-or that within hours they'll be visited by her long-lost grandfather, who is also desperate to get that tape. And when Daphne's teddy bear is stolen, a blind assassin nearly kills Frank, and a phantom begins to speak to her from a switched-off television set, Daphne and her father find themselves caught in the middle of a murderous power struggle that originated long ago in Israel and Germany but now crashes through Los Angeles and out to the Mojave Desert. To survive, they must quickly learn the rules of a dangerous magical chess game and use all their cleverness and courage-as well as their love and loyalty to each other-to escape a fate more profound than death."

Veci, ktoré sme vzdali
Na svete existovala len jedna žena, ktorá ma dokázala oslobodiť. No ja by som sa bol radšej vrhol do pekelných plameňov, než aby som Sloane Waltonovú o niečo požiadal.
Lucian Rollins je dobre stavaný, nepr.jemný podnikateľský magnát, ktorý túži po pomste. Odhodlaný vymazať svojho násilníckeho otca z rodinnej histórie, trávi každú minútu poťahovaním nitiek v zákulisí svojich kšeftov a budovaním impéria. Čím viac peňazí a moci má, tým bezpečnejšie sa cíti.
No len dovtedy, kým sa nezjaví jedna hašterivá knihovníčka z malého mesta.
Hoci ich spája temné tajomstvo z minulosti a vzájomné opovrhovanie, Sloane Waltonová Lucianovi ani zamak nedôveruje. Až kým sa jedna z ich škriepok nezmení na predohru a nerozdúcha tak plamene túžby, ktoré nedokážu uhasiť.
No keďže Sloane je rozhodnutá založiť si rodinu a Lucian o niečom takom nechce ani počuť, títo dvaja nepriatelia, z ktorých sa stali milenci, narazili na slepú uličku.
A keď Lucian nepr.jemným spôsobom zistí, že opustiť Sloane je nemožné, zaprisahá sa, že urobí všetko preto, aby ju ochránil. Nech to stojí čokoľvek...

Nebuď p*ča aneb jak (ne)pracovat s dětmi
Toto je kniha o dětech žijících v ústavní péči – o dobré práci s nimi i o špatné práci s nimi, o jejich příbězích, o rozhodnutích dospělých i o možných lepších volbách. Čtenář zde nalezne anonymizované, ale reálné příběhy dětí, základní teoretické (odborné) minimum i přímé citace samotných dětských hrdinů. Takové, které mohou inspirovat, anebo třeba někomu pomohou otevřít oči a uvědomit si, že i ten „zlý rozmazlený spratek“ má pro své špatné chování důvody. Že to může být výkřik nesouhlasu, odporu a zhnusení některými lidmi, s nimiž se dítě setkalo. Stejně tak kniha vyjadřuje hluboký obdiv a poděkování některým lidem, kteří v této sféře pracují.
Kniha je upřímná a surová – pojmenovávám věci a situace reálnými slovy s reálnými pocity, nehledá ani líbivé fráze, ani korektně přijatelné opisy. A přestože je název knihy vulgární (a čtenář po přečtení několika stránek brzy pochopí proč), není kniha nijak podbízivě senzační, ale naopak pevně zakotvená v terénní praxi i odborném psychologickém, psychoterapeutickém a pedagogickém zázemí.
Tomáš Morávek DiS. je vychovatel s více než osmiletou praxí z nejrůznějších zařízení pro děti. V současnosti je také ředitelem organizace (Ne)ohrožené děti, z. ú.
Guide to Being Born
Reminiscent of Aimee Bender and Karen Russell--an enthralling new collection that uses the world of the imagination to explore the heart of the human condition. Major new literary talent Ramona Ausubel combines the otherworldly wisdom of her much-loved debut novel, "No One Is Here Except All of Us," with the precision of the short-story form. "A Guide toBeing Born "is organized around the stages of life--love, conception, gestation, birth--and the transformations that happen as people experience deeply altering life events, falling in love, becoming parents, looking toward the end of life. In each of these eleven stories Ausubel's stunning imagination and humor are moving, entertaining, and provocative, leading readers to see the familiar world in a new way. In "Atria" a pregnant teenager believes she will give birth to any number of strange animals rather than a human baby; in "Catch and Release" a girl discovers the ghost of a Civil War hero living in the woods behind her house; and in "Tributaries" people grow a new arm each time they fall in love. Funny, surprising, and delightfully strange--all the stories have a strong emotional core; Ausubel's primary concern is always love, in all its manifestations.

A Walk To Remember
There was a time when the world was sweeter...when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats...when something happened to a seventeen-year-old boy that would change his life forever. Every April, when the wind blows
in from the sea and mingles with the scent of lilacs, Landon Carter remembers his last year at Beaufort High. It was 1958, and Landon had already dated a girl or two. He even swore that he had once been in love. Certainly the last person in town he
thought he'd fall for was Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of the town's Baptist minister.
A quiet girl who always carried a Bible with her schoolbooks, Jamie seemed content living in a world apart from the other teens. She took care of her widowed fathe
r, rescued hurt animals, and helped out at the local orphanage. No boy had ever asked her out.
Landon would never have dreamed of it. Then a twist of fate made Jamie his partner for the homecoming dance, and Landon Carter's life would never be the sa
me. Being with Jamie would show him the depths of the human heart and lead him to a decision so stunning it would send him irrevocably on the road to manhood....
No other author today touches our emotions more deeply than Nicholas Sparks. Now, in A W
alk To Remember, he tells a truly unforgettable story, one that glimmers with all of his magic, holding us spellboundand reminding us that in life each of us may find one great love, the kind that changes everything...Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častej

Six Graves to Munich
An explosive, non-stop thriller following one man's trail of violence across post-war Europe from the bestselling author of The Godfather. Michael Rogan was an intelligence officer behind enemy lines in World War II. But he made the mistake of falling in love, which gave him something to lose--or to be taken from him. Captured by the Nazis, Michael was treated as an experiment. A piece of meat. A subject upon which his captors committed atrocity upon atrocity. But not before they did the same to his wife--and unborn son. He's lived with the horror of that experience for ten years. Now, Michael Rogan has returned to Europe to find the men who tortured him. And he's going to make sure that they never have to live with the horror as he did...They will die with it. First published under a pseudonym in 1967, Six Graves to Munich was Mario Puzo's literary predecessor to his legendary novel, The Godfather. In this unsung classic, Puzo's trademark unflinchingly stark writing style, vivid descriptive skill, and relentless pace are exemplified in the genre of the spy novel. In his hands, the classic tale of revenge becomes a haunting study of humanity at its most visceral, offering a glimpse into a damaged soul whose only remaining purpose for living is to kill.
