Narodeniny 3: Za trest trinásťročná
Kniha Za trest trinásťročná je voľné pokračovanie kníh Zakliate jedenáste narodeniny a Konečne dvanásťročná. Hlavná hrdinka Tara veľmi rýchlo príde na to, že vlámať sa do školy, aby ukradla kozu, nie je dobrý nápad. Za trest ju rodičia pošlú do ospalého mestečka k príbuzným, ktorých sotva pozná, no je nad slnko jasnejšie, že sú to poriadni čudáci. Sesternica Emily, ktorá pri ich poslednom stretnutí zjedla lepidlo, však ani zďaleka nie je najpodivnejšia osoba v meste. Ak sa Tare nepodarí zozbierať trinásť záhadných predmetov pre starú paniu pred rýchlo sa blížiacimi trinástymi narodeninami, následky budú PRÍŠERNÉ. Tara a jej noví priatelia sa dostanú na miesta, o existencii ktorých nemali doteraz ani poňatia. Na miesta v skutočnom svete i hlboko v ľudskom vnútri. V knihe Za trest trinásťročná je možné naozaj všetko a nič nie je také, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá!
Veci, ktoré v nás ostanú navždy
Bradatý zlý chlapec Knox Knox neznáša drámu a nepoľaví, ani keď sa k nemu dostaví v podobe zúfalej nevesty, ktorá ušla spred oltára.
Naomi práve utiekla z vlastnej svadby, no zároveň sa ponáhľala na pomoc svojej odcudzenej dvojičke. V Knockemoute vo Virgínii, na prvý pohľad drsnom mestečku, sa spory riešia po starom... päsťami a pivom. Zvyčajne v tomto poradí.
Škoda, že Naomino dvojča sa vôbec nezmenilo. Po tom, čo jej Tina ukradne auto a peniaze, nechá jej nečakaný darček: neter, o ktorej Naomi ani len netušila. Naomi sa tak ocitne v neznámom meste bez auta, práce, plánu a domova, s jedenásťročným dieťaťom, o ktoré sa musí postarať.
Knox má svoje dôvody, prečo si zvyčajne nezačína s komplikovanými a náročnými ženami, zvlášť ak sú to romantičky. Naomin život mu však vybuchol priamo pred očami, a tak sa rozhodne pomôcť jej postaviť sa na nohy, a keď sa tak stane, má v úmysle vrátiť sa k svojmu pokojnému osamelému životu.
Teda taký bol pôvodný plán, až kým sa problémy nezmenili na niečo skutočne nebezpečné.

Youre About to Make a Terrible Mistake
Discover nine common business decision-making traps -- and learn practical tools for avoiding them -- in this "masterful," research-based guide from a professor of strategic thinking. (Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow)
We all make decisions all the time. It's so natural that we hardly stop to think about it.
Yet even the smartest and most experienced among us make frequent and predictable errors. So, what makes a good decision? Should we trust our intuitions, and if so, when? How can we avoid being tripped up by cognitive biases when we are not even aware of them?
In You're About to Make a Terrible Mistake!, strategy professor and management consultant Olivier Sibony draws on dozens of fascinating and engaging case studies to show how cognitive biases routinely lead all of us -- including even the most renowned business titans -- into nine common decision-making traps. But instead of rehashing the same old "debiasing" techniques that fail managers time and again, Sibony explains that the best way to avoid the pitfalls of cognitive bias is to craft an effective decision-making architecture in your organization -- a system of techniques and processes that leverage collective intelligence to help leaders make the best decisions possible -- and provides 40 concrete methods for doing so.
Distinctive in the clarity and practicality of its message, You're About to Make a Terrible Mistake! distills the latest developments in behavioral economics and cognitive psychology into actionable tools for making smart, effective decisions in business and beyond.

Robinson Crusoe (Wordsworth Classics) (Wadsworth Collection)
With an Introduction and Notes by Doreen Roberts, Rutherford College, University of Kent at Canterbury From its first publication in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been printed in over 700 editions. It has inspired almost every conceivable kind of imitation and variation, and been the subject of plays, opera, cartoons, and computer games. The character of Crusoe has entered the consciousness of each succeeding generation as readers add their own interpretation to the adventures so thrillingly 'recorded' by Defoe. Praised by eminent figures such as Coleridge, Rousseau and Wordsworth, this perennially popular book was cited by Karl Marx in Das Kapital to illustrate economic theory. However it is readers of all ages over the last 280 years who have given Robinson Crusoe its abiding position as a classic tale of adventure.

Lacná kniha Brief Candle in the Dark (-70%)
In An Appetite for Wonder Richard Dawkins brought us his engaging memoir of the first 35 years of his life from early childhood in Africa to publication of The Selfish Gene in 1976, when he shot to fame as one of the most exciting new scientists of his generation. In Brief Candle in the Dark he continues his autobiography, following the threads that have run through the second half of his life so far and homing in on the key individuals, institutions and ideas that inspired and motivated him. He paints a vivid picture, coloured with wit, anecdote and digression, of the twenty-five postgraduate years he spent teaching at Oxford. He pays affectionate tribute to past colleagues and students, recalling the idiosyncrasies of an establishment steeped in ancient tradition and arcane ritual while also recording his respect for the profound commitment to learning and discovery that lies at its core. He invites us to share the life of a travelling scientist, from fieldwork on the Panama Canal to conferences of stratospheric eminence in exotic locations in the company of some of the most prominent of the world's scientific luminaries. And he describes his experiences with his many publishers, television producers, interviewers and partners in debate, not least in the heady period when, after publication of The God Delusion in 2006, he is dubbed the world's most outspoken and controversial atheist. Most important of all, for the first time he reviews with fresh and stimulating insights the evolving narrative of his ideas about science over the course of his highly distinguished career as thinker, teacher and writer. In Brief Candle in the Dark we are invited to enter with him a constantly stimulating world of discovery and to meet a fascinating cast of exceptional characters described by the talented pen of one of the most exceptional of them all.

Smrť na druhom brehu
Začiatky deväťdesiatych rokov boli hektickým obdobím nielen na oddelení vrážd, ale v celej spoločnosti. Čo sa dialo v Našom Meste automaticky registrovali aj detektívi, a nielen registrovali, aj riešili, vyšetrovali a vypočúvali. Zo zelenáča Richarda Krauza je samostatne pracujúci detektív a s parťákom Jozefom Fischerom zvaným Chosé riešia jeden prípad za druhým. Tento sa stal na jar 1994 ? na brehu rieky Morava na úrovni 4. kilometrovníka našli dvaja výrastkovia polozahrabanú, polorozpadnutú mŕtvolu muža. Nič zvláštne, pokojne mohla skončiť v krematóriu a na štátne trovy jej mohli podkúriť - to by ale nesmela mať uprostred čela pravidelný kruhový otvor s priemerom 9 mm. Stačil jeden pohľad a dvojici detektívov bolo hneď jasné, že ho nespôsobil vrták, ale olovo odliate do tvaru guľky. No z akej pištole bola vystrelená a čia ruka ju v tom momente držala, sa dozvedia až po dlhom vyšetrovaní, Chlapci z mord partie sa riadne zapotia, lebo nič nevedia ani o vrahovi, ani o obeti. Mŕtvy chlap nikomu nechýba. Nevedia ani to, že kruhový otvor uprostred čela sa onedlho stane symbolom vybavovania si účtov v podsvetí, ktoré sa práve začína formovať.

Beyond the Wand
They called for a break, and Gambon magicked up a cigarette from out of his beard. He and I were often to be found outside the stage door, having 'a breath of fresh air', as we referred to it. There would be painters and plasterers and chippies and sparks, and among them all would be me and Dumbledore having a crafty cigarette.
From Borrower to wizard, Tom Felton's adolescence was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame saw him catapulted into the limelight aged just twelve when he landed the iconic role of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films.
Speaking with candour and his own trademark humour, Tom shares his experience of growing up on screen and as part of the wizarding world for the very first time. He tells all about his big break, what filming was really like and the lasting friendships he made during ten years as part of the franchise, as well as the highs and lows of fame and the reality of navigating adult life after filming finished.
Prepare to meet a real-life wizard.
Lacná kniha Jeremy Hutchinsons Case Histories:From Lady Chatterleys Lover to How (-50%)
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Throughout a long career, [Jeremy Hutchinson's] brilliant and stylish advocacy achieved success in cases that looked unwinnable' Helena Kennedy 'Jeremy was not just a good lawyer; he was fearless in standing up to judges. He was the most formidable advocate of the 1960s and '70s and he had a marvellous sense of mischief' Geoffrey Robertson Born in 1915 into the fringes of the Bloomsbury Group, Jeremy Hutchinson went on to become the greatest criminal barrister of the 1960s, '70s and '80s. The cases of that period changed society for ever and Hutchinson's role in them was second to none. In Case Histories, Jeremy Hutchinson's most remarkable trials are examined, each one providing a fascinating look into Britain's post-war social, political and cultural history. Accessibly and entertainingly written, Case Histories provides a definitive account of Jeremy Hutchinson's life and work. From the sex and spying scandals which contributed to Harold Macmillan's resignation in 1963 and the subsequent fall of the Conservative government, to the fight against literary censorship through his defence of Lady Chatterley's Lover and Fanny Hill, Hutchinson was involved in many of the great trials of the period. He defended George Blake, Christine Keeler, Great Train robber Charlie Wilson, Kempton Bunton (the only man successfully to 'steal' a picture from the National Gallery), art 'faker' Tom Keating, and Howard Marks who, in a sensational defence, was acquitted of charges relating to the largest importation of cannabis in British history. He also prevented the suppression of Bernardo Bertolucci's notorious film Last Tango in Paris and did battle with Mary Whitehouse when she prosecuted the director of the play Romans in Britain. Above all else, Jeremy Hutchinson's career, both at the bar and later as a member of the House of Lords, has been one devoted to the preservation of individual liberty and to resisting the incursions of an overbearing state. Case Histories provides entertaining, vivid and revealing insights into what was really going on in those celebrated courtroom dramas that defined an age, as well as painting a picture of a remarkable life.

Moja duša zostala v Osvienčime
Osvienčim, 1942: Tento nezabudnuteľný román založený na skutočnej udalosti oživuje najsilnejší príbeh zakázanej lásky v dejinách. V Osvienčime obohnanom ostnatým drôtom sa napriek nepredstaviteľným prekážkam do seba zamilujú dvaja ľudia. To, čo sa stane potom, vám vráti vieru v ľudskosť a prinúti vás veriť v nádej aj tam, kde by nemala existovať.
Helena vystúpila z dobytčieho vagóna na zamrznutú pôdu Osvienčimu. Zostáva jej dvadsaťštyri hodín života. Hneď zajtra ju plánujú zabiť, ani jej nevytetujú väzenské číslo. Kým okolo nej padá sneh, chveje sa, lebo vie, že bola odsúdená na smrť za zločin, ktorý nespáchala.
Keď k Helene podíde dôstojník v sivej uniforme a odtiahne ju preč, obáva sa najhoršieho. Namiesto toho jej povie, že jeden z dozorcov má narodeniny, a prikáže jej, aby mu zaspievala.
„Nechcem, aby sa ti niečo stalo,“ zašepkal a vtlačil jej do ruky lístoček. Keď si ho prečítala, celé telo sa jej zachvelo: Zaľúbil som sa do teba.
Nasleduje príbeh lásky, ktorá bola zakázaná a nemožná, a predsa zachránila obom, a mnohým ďalším, život.
