The Stars in Our Eyes
From bestselling author Julie Klam comes a lively and engaging exploration of celebrity: why celebrities fascinate us, what it means to be famous today, and why celebrities are so important.
“When I was young I was convinced celebrities could save me,” Julie Klam admits in The Stars in Our Eyes, her funny and personal exploration of fame and celebrity. As she did for subjects as wide-ranging as dogs, mothers, and friendship, Klam brings her infectious curiosity and crackling wit to the topic of celebrity. As she admits, “I’ve always been enamored with celebrities,” be they movie stars, baseball players, TV actors, and now Internet sensations. “They are the us we want to be.” Celebrities today have a global presence and can be, Klam writes, “some girl on Instagram who does nude yoga and has 3.5 million followers, a thirteen-year-old ‘viner,’ and a Korean rapper who posts his videos that are viewed millions of times.”
In The Stars in Our Eyes, Klam examines this phenomenon. She delves deep into what makes someone a celebrity, explains why we care about celebrities more than ever, and uncovers the bargains they make with the public and the burdens they bear to sustain this status. The result is an engaging, astute, and eye-opening look into celebrity that reveals the truths about fame as it elucidates why it’s such an important part of life today.

Part 1: Me, is comprised of Emmy's own story-raw and personal-while Part 2: You tells the stories of others. With genuine curiosity and tenderness, Marucci asks of herself, her loved ones, and perfect strangers the child's perennial question: "Will you tell me a story?"

Exile in London
Během druhé světové války se stal Londýn nejen terčem německých náletů a cílem pro tisíce uprchlíků z kontinentu, ale proměnil se též v útočiště řady politických reprezentací z kontinentální Evropy. Tato kniha přináší příspěvky renomovaných historiků z devíti zemí Británie, Německa, Nizozemska, Belgie, Polska, Ruska, Slovinska, Slovenska a České republiky. Soustředí se na život v exilu, jak jej prožívaly vlády Československa a dalších zemí, pro něž se britská metropole stala na několik let novým domovem. Na základě výsledků intenzivního archivního výzkumu kniha nově interpretuje společné znaky i rozdíly v původu a struktuře jednotlivých exilových vlád. Nastiňuje, v jaké míře byly schopny ovlivňovat klíčová diplomatická jednání velmocí či nabídnout pro spojenecké válečné úsilí efektivní vojenskou pomoc včetně strategických komodit či moderních zbraní, jakou válečnou propagandu rozvíjely a jak se v zahraničí připravovaly na budoucí řešení otázky národnostních menšin či naléhavých sociálních a hospodářských problémů po osvobození svých zemí.

Jürgen Klopp
Keď už sme tu, môžeme si vlastne aj trochu zakopať.
Nie, aj keď to o sebe sám tvrdí, »normálny« tento Jürgen Klopp naozaj nie je. Ako druholigový futbalista sa možno zapísal do povedomia ako hviezda vidieka, zato ako tréner patrí Kloppo k hviezdam, ktorých žiara na futbalovom nebi zahanbí desiatky ďalších. Aj keď ho len pomerne nedávno predchádzala povesť výrečného analytika a trénera z televíznej obrazovky, Klopp už stihol dokázať, že je predovšetkým jedno: puntičkársky futbalový mentor, ktorý vie ľudí nadchnúť svojím zápalom a taktikou. Ktorý neváhal kráčať proti davu, aby klub 1. FSV Mainz 05 najprv ochránil pred vypadnutím z druhej ligy a potom ho priviedol k prvému postupu do Bundesligy. Ktorý si v roku 2008 zobral pod ochranné krídla Borussiu Dortmund, aby jej skalných fanúšikov sklamal futbalom bez štipky vášne len aby s nimi o tri roky oslavoval veľkolepé víťazstvo na majstrovstvách a obdaril ich futbalom hraným telom aj dušou. Od roku 2015 priekopník Klopp dokazuje, že jeho metódy padajú na úrodnú pôdu aj v anglickej Premiere League, kde chce prebudiť legendárny FC Liverpool zo zakliateho spánku. Priatelia a bývalí kolegovia, ako napríklad Christian Heidel, súčasný manažér klubu FC Schalke 04, spomínajú na spoločné zážitky a približujú čitateľom ctižiadostivého športovca a všestranného človeka Jürgena Kloppa. Rozhovory s odborníkmi spoza trávnikov futbalových štadiónov odhaľujú zaujímavé názory na Kloppovu charizmatickú osobnosť. Poučná a zábavná, to sú prívlastky, ktoré nevystihujú len kapitolu o taktike, ktorá podrobne analyzuje Kloppovu hernú filozofiu, ale celú knihu o tejto futbalovej legende. Chcem byť tým najlepším trénerom, akým môžem byť, zaumienil si Jürgen Klopp. Že je na dobrej ceste, objasňuje táto kniha, v ktorej sa autor svedomito zaoberá Kloppom a jeho pravou láskou k futbalu, a rozpráva príbeh o jeho púti za úspechom. Práva na preklad knihy sa ešte pred vydaním predali do šiestich krajín a tri ďalšie preklady sa už pripravujú.
Klopp je, aký je. Výborný tréner, ale čo sa týka toho ostatného... Nenechám si to pre seba nechcel by som byť ako on. Marcelino García Toral
Keď sledujeme televíziu alebo ideme do kina, vždy musíme vedieť, čo postavy chcú: James Bond chce zachrániť svet, ET chce ísť domov, Graham Norton sa chce zabávať a Jeremy Paxman chce vysvetliť, ako funguje svet. S každou z týchto postáv sme sa oboznámili najprv vďaka ich víziám. Vždy konajú tak, aby ich ciele a vízie boli v súlade. A čo chce Klopp? Vízia je aspoň trochu zlepšiť svet. Možno to rozpoznať nielen na jeho vyjadrovaní, ale viditeľné to je najmä prostredníctvom jeho činov. Práve vďaka pevnému odhodlaniu sú jeho vízie hmatateľné. Ako tréner chce, aby sa jeho tím zlepšil. Ako televízny odborník chce divákom vysvetliť udalosti na ihrisku. Zdôrazňuje to, že chce veci zlepšiť. Také intenzívne odhodlanie vychádza zo srdca, nemožno ho predstierať. Niekto môže tvrdiť, že chce zarobiť veľa peňazí, stať sa slávnym, jednotkou, chce tamto či ono. Lenže Klopp to vidí inak. Hoci to môže znieť melodramaticky, pre mňa to znamená, že to miesto, kde práve som, chcem vždy o čosi zlepšiť, povedal Klopp v rozhovore pre noviny Zeit. Tento prístup sa neobmedzuje len na svet športu. Nielen na futbalovom ihrisku, ale kdekoľvek sa ocitne, svet môže byť o čosi lepší. To je jeho hlavný prístup. Cristián Gálvez

XOXO
Jenny's never had much time for boys, K-pop, or really anything besides her dream of being a professional cellist. But when she finds herself falling for a K-pop idol, she has to decide whether their love is worth the risk. A modern forbidden romance wrapped in the glamorous and exclusive world of K-pop, XOXO is perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Maurene Goo.
Jenny didn't get to be an award-winning, classically trained cellist without choosing practice over fun. That is, until the night she meets Jaewoo. Mysterious, handsome, and just a little bit tormented, Jaewoo is exactly the kind of distraction Jenny would normally avoid. And yet, she finds herself pulled into spending an unforgettable evening wandering Los Angeles with him on the night before his flight home to South Korea.
With Jaewoo an ocean away, there's no use in dreaming of what could have been. But when Jenny and her mother move to Seoul to take care of her ailing grandmother, who does she meet at the elite arts academy she's just been accepted to? Jaewoo.
Finding the dreamy stranger who swept you off your feet in your homeroom is one thing, but Jaewoo isn't just any student. Turns out, Jaewoo is a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in the world. And like most K-pop idols, Jaewoo is strictly forbidden from dating anyone.
When a relationship means not only jeopardizing her place at her dream music school but also endangering everything Jaewoo's worked for, Jenny has to decide once and for all just how much she's willing to risk for love. XOXO is a new romance that proves chasing your dreams doesn't have to mean sacrificing your heart, from acclaimed author Axie Oh.

Boys Will Be Boys Power Patriarchy and Toxic Masculinity
The incendiary new book about toxic masculinity and misogyny from Clementine Ford, author of the best-selling feminist manifesto, Fight Like A Girl.
Fearless feminist heroine Clementine Ford's incendiary first book, Fight Like A Girl, is taking the world by storm, galvanising women to demand and fight for real equality and not merely the illusion of it.
Now Boys Will Be Boys examines what needs to change for that equality to become a reality. It answers the question most asked of Clementine: 'How do I raise my son to respect women and give them equal space in the world? How do I make sure he's a supporter and not a perpetrator?'
Ford demolishes the age-old assumption that superiority and aggression are natural realms for boys, and demonstrates how toxic masculinity creates a disturbingly limited and potentially dangerous idea of what it is to be a man. Crucially, Boys Will Be Boys reveals how the patriarchy we live in is as harmful to boys and men as it is to women and girls, and asks what we have to do to reverse that damage. The world needs to change and this book shows the way.

Slayers and Vampires
In 1997 the first episode of a new show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired. It's fair to say that following the critically panned and commercially unsuccessful film of the same name five years previously, expectations were not high. However over the course of 144 episodes and the successful spin-off show, Angel, it produced some of the best and best-loved television of all time. And its creator Joss Whedon's subversive take on supernatural stories has shaped everything from Marvel to Star Wars.
Before Buffy, if a girl and a monster went into an alleyway and there was no boy to save her, only the monster came back out. Buffy changed all that.
Twenty years on, the story of the girl who saved the universe . . . a lot and the world's most emotionally complicated vampire is told in Slayers and Vampires by the people who were there.
TV experts Edward Gross and Mark Altman talked to almost 100 writers, producers, directors, filmmakers, sociologists and stars from Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel in new and vintage interviews from their personal archives, among them:
Joss Whedon
Guillermo del Toro
Felicia Day
Anthony Stewart Head
Charisma Carpenter
James Marsters
David Boreanaz
