Scientia Sacra II.: A kereszténység - Hangoskönyv (MP3)
A lét egy, a valóság egy, az igazság egy, Isten egy - ezt tanítják a Védák. Az Atya és én egyek vagyunk, aki engem lát, az Atyát látja, én az Atyában vagyok és az Atya énbennem - ezek pedig Jézus szavai. Hamvas Béla tanításának talán legmagasabb csúcsát az archaikus hagyomány és a keresztény "jó hír", az evangéliumok egységének helyreállítása jelenti. Hogy is nem vettük eddig észre, hogy "ami az Atyáé, az az enyém"! Miért is nem tudtuk átélni, hogy "nem magamtól cselekszem, hanem az Atyától, aki bennem cselekszik"? Kétezer év után a nyugati civilizáció embere kezdi felismerni Jézus üzenetét: azért jöttem, hogy "mindnyájan egyek legyenek, ahogy te énbennem vagy, és én tebenned vagyok." - Sok bolyongás után mintha kezdenénk rátalálni a labirintusból kivezető útra..."

How Google Works
Both Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg came to Google as seasoned Silicon Valley business executives, but over the course of a decade they came to see the wisdom in Coach John Wooden's observation that 'it's what you learn after you know it all that counts'. As they helped grow Google from a young start-up to a global icon, they relearned everything they knew about management. How Google Works is the sum of those experiences distilled into a fun, easy-to-read primer on corporate culture, strategy, talent, decision-making, communication, innovation, and dealing with disruption. The authors explain how the confluence of three seismic changes - the internet, mobile, and cloud computing - has shifted the balance of power from companies to consumers. The companies that will thrive in this ever-changing landscape will be the ones that create superior products and attract a new breed of multifaceted employees whom the authors dub 'smart creatives'. The management maxims ('Consensus requires dissension', 'Exile knaves but fight for divas', 'Think 10X, not 10%') are illustrated with previously unreported anecdotes from Google's corporate history. 'Back in 2010, Eric and I created an internal class for Google managers,' says Rosenberg. 'The class slides all read 'Google confidential' until an employee suggested we uphold the spirit of openness and share them with the world. This book codifies the recipe for our secret sauce: how Google innovates and how it empowers employees to succeed.

A virágszamuráj párnakönyve
Kozaisó vagyok.
Ötödik Leány.
Játéknő.
Mesemondó.
Szerető.
Feleség.
Szamuráj.
"Az életemmel dicsőséget kell hoznom a családomra."
Egész életében ez a cél lebeg a szegény földműves család kis Ötödik Leánya előtt, aki csupán hatéves, amikor egy darab földért cserébe apja eladja a földesúrnak. A kegyetlen Csibánál megtanulja, hogyan tűrje csendben a megaláztatásokat és a szenvedést, azonban Daigoro no Goróval, a sötét lelkű pappal, aki elviselhetetlen testi és lelki kínokat okozva újra és újra felbukkan az életében, szembeszáll. Büntetésből a Kitaszítottak falujába száműzik. A hűséges szamuráj, Akio vele tart, a szárnyai alá veszi, és harcművészetekre oktatja a lányt, aki csak így képes elviselni, hogy férfiak kiszolgálására kényszerítik. Az okos gyermekből gyönyörű és bölcs nővé érő Rózsaszín Virágra, a mesélőre, aki történeteivel képes fékezni mások kegyetlenségét, felfigyel Micsimori kormányzó is. A férfi szerelemre lobban iránta, és magával viszi: ahogy megálmodta, Kozaisó immár egy szamuráj feleségeként, mint magas rangú úrnő áll férje mellett a Taira és a Minamoto nemzetség között kirobbant háborúban. És hamarosan bosszúja is beteljesül.
A lírai szépségű napló, "párnakönyv" egy különleges nő életét követi végig a 12. századi Japánban, aki megállja a helyét emberként, szamurájként és feleségként, aki soha nem adja fel, és tisztaságát, erejét és hitét megőrizve végül legyőzi a gonoszt.

Beatles, The - The Beatles (Super Deluxe Ltd.) 7CD
V listopadu 1968 byly do všemožných hudebních obchodů světa vyslány miliony kopií eponymního devátého dvojalba jedné z nejlegendárnějších kapel hudební historie - Beatles. Albu, které po generace nepřestává lidstvo inspirovat, se později začalo přezdívat The White Album. Reedice desky vyjde 9. listopadu a bude obsahovat 30 Gilesem Martinem (syn George Martina) a Samem Okellem nově vysoce kvalitně zmixovaných písní (The White Album), 27 dřívějších akustických demo nahrávek (Esher Demos) a 50 z většiny dosud nevydaných nahrávek pocházejících ze studiových sessions (Sessions).
The White Album bude k dostání v několika verzích. Super deluxe verze s tradičním unikátním číslem bude obsahovat dva disky, na kterých je nahrané album, jeden disk s Esher Demos, tři disky Sessions, čtyři Blu-ray verze alba a je doplněna knihou plnou fotografií, plakátů, rukopisů, poznámek a textů. Deluxe varianta bude obsahovat výše zmíněné disky, 4LP limitovaný box set - klasické album a audio kolekci, která mj. obsahuje Esher Demos, 24stránkový booklet, plakáty a portréty. Standard verze potom obsahuje klasické původní 2LP.
Většina skladeb byla složena v meditačním centru Mahariši Maheš Jógiho poblíž indického Rišikeše, kam členové skupiny se svými manželkami odcestovali v únoru 1968, aby se zrekreovali a věnovali se meditacím. Na rozdíl od předchozího alba, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, nebylo The White Album zamýšleno jako konceptuální album. Písně nespojuje žádné téma, střídá se i mnoho stylů hudby (blues, hard-rock, folk, ska a další). Je možné, že právě z důvodu takového množství nesourodých „škatulek” či „koutků” chtěli Beatles toto album původně nazvat Domeček pro panenky.
Obal desky navrhl renomovaný autor pop artu Richard Hamilton a je v kontrastu s obalem „Seržanta Peppera” stejně, jako je tomu v případě hudebního obsahu těchto dvou alb. Celá obálka má bílou barvu. Na obálce je pouze plasticky či v odstínech šedi vytlačen název alba.
Album se v Británii i Americe stalo okamžitým bestsellerem, který se umístil na prvních příčkách, kde se držel osm až devět týdnů. Deska se stala 19x platinovou a v roce 2000 byla uvedena do Grammy Hall of Fame jako „deska s neuvadající kvalitou a historickým významem”. „Jedná se o nejlepší album, které kdy Beatles vydali a jenom Beatles mohou udělat ještě lepší,” komentoval tehdy desku spoluzakladatel časopisu Rolling Stone Jann Wenner.

Gorbachev - His Life and Times
' ... deeply penetrating history and engrossing psychological study.' Robert Legvold, Foreign Affairs MagazineFrom the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Khrushchev: The Man and his Era 'An engaging, poignant portrayal of one of the most significant of Russian leaders.' Kirkus review. 'William Taubman's Gorbachev, like his Khrushchev, is an extraordinary achievement, full of new information, filled with shrewd judgments, a two-in-a-row triumph in the writing of great lives.' - John Lewis Gaddis, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of George F. Kennan: An American Life `Nobody before Taubman has achieved an in-depth psychological portrait...what made Gorbachev tick, as a man and a leader, has always been hooded in speculation...A highly readable, reliable and accurate work, one that will be used by all future generations of historians... This monumental biography will become the standard personal portrait, especially of the years before Gorbachev became party secretary. Taubman has charmed more out of him than any of his subordinates ever managed to' Robert Service, Literary Review `Impressive... full of fascinating detail' Peter Conradi, Sunday Times `Comprehensive and immensely readable' The Economist This is the definitive biography on one of the most important and controversial figures of the 20th century. Drawing on interviews with Gorbachev himself, transcripts and documents from the Russian archives, and interviews with Kremlin aides and adversaries, as well as foreign leaders, Taubman's intensely personal portrait extends to Gorbachev's remarkable marriage to a woman he deeply loved, and to the family that they raised together. Nuanced and poignant, yet unsparing and honest, this sweeping account has all the amplitude of a great Russian novel.90 illustrations When Mikhail Gorbachev became its leader in March 1985, the USSR was still one of the world's two superpowers. By the end of his tenure six years later, the Communist system was dismantled, the cold war was over and, on 25th December 1991, the Soviet Union itself ceased to exist. While not solely responsible for this remarkable upheaval, he set decisive changes in motion. Assessments of Gorbachev could not be more polarised. In the West, he is regarded as a hero. In Russia, he is widely hated by those who blame him for the collapse of the USSR. Admirers marvel at this vision and courage. Detractors, including many of his Kremlin comrades, have accused him of everything from naivete to treason.

Helga`s Diary
"The most moving Holocaust diary published since Anne Frank". (Daily Telegraph). First they led us to the baths, where they took from us everything we still had. Quite literally there wasn't even a hair left. I didn't even recognize my own mother till I heard her voice...In 1941, aged 12, Helga Weiss, her mother and father were forced to say goodbye to their home, their relatives and all that they knew, and were interned in the Nazi concentration camp of Terezin. For the next three years, Helga documented her experiences there, and those of her friends and family, in a diary. Then they were sent to Auschwitz, and the diary was left behind, hidden in a wall. Helga was one of a tiny number of Jewish children from Prague to survive the holocaust. After she returned home, she eventually managed to retrieve her diary and completed the journal of her experiences. The result is one of the most vivid first-hand accounts of the Holocaust ever to have been recovered. "Anne Frank's diary finished when her family was rounded up for the camps: in Helga's Diary, we have a child's record of life inside the extermination factories. Shines a light into the long black night that was the Holocaust". (Daily Express).
The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage
"THE THRILLING ADVENTURES OF LOVELACE AND BABBAGE" . . . in which Sydney Padua transforms one of the most compelling scientific collaborations into a hilarious series of adventures. Meet Victorian London s most dynamic duo: Charles Babbage, the unrealized inventor of the computer, and his accomplice, Ada, Countess of Lovelace, the peculiar protoprogrammer and daughter of Lord Byron. When Lovelace translated a description of Babbage s plans for an enormous mechanical calculating machine in 1842, she added annotations three times longer than the original work. Her footnotes contained the first appearance of the general computing theory, a hundred years before an actual computer was built. Sadly, Lovelace died of cancer a decade after publishing the paper, and Babbage never built any of his machines. But do not despair! "The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage "presents a rollicking alternate reality in which Lovelace and Babbage "do" build the Difference Engine and then use it to build runaway economic models, battle the scourge of spelling errors, explore the wilder realms of mathematics, and, of course, fight crime for the sake of both London and science. Complete with extensive footnotes that rival those penned by Lovelace herself, historical curiosities, and never-before-seen diagrams of Babbage s mechanical, steam-powered computer, "The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage "is wonderfully whimsical, utterly unusual, and, above all, entirely irresistible. (With black-and-white illustrations throughout.)"

This elaborate volume-published with Somerset House and in association with the Isabella Blow Foundation and Central Saint Martins to accompany the fall 2013 exhibition-is an exhaustive survey of Isabella's personal collection. With over 100 gorgeous full-color and black-and-white photographs shot exclusively for this publication by Nick Knight, this volume is the first to catalogue her own famous wardrobe that includes thousands of pieces by the most important contemporary designers, including McQueen, Philip Treacy, and Manolo Blahnik.

Seth has left ninety per cent of his vast, secret fortune to his housemaid. The vultures are circling even before the body is cold: the only subject more incendiary than money in Ford County is race, and this case has both.

As filled with page-turning twists as it is with legal mastery, Sycamore Row proves beyond doubt that John Grisham is in a league of his own.

Alice el akar menekülni az Oroszlán iránt érzett vonzalma elől, hát beleveti magát az élet sűrűjébe, ahol szexmániás Nyilasokkal, higgadt Bikákkal, kitartó Kosokkal, hazug Halakkal és bosszúszomjas Skorpiókkal hozza össze a sors. Tiónak sikerül annyira a zodiákus bűvkörébe vonnia Alicét, hogy az már zöldségest és orvost is a születési képlete alapján választ, mígnem legjobb barátnője, a gondoskodó Rák orvoshoz viszi horoszkópfüggősége miatt...
Silvia Zucca Milánóban él, fordítóként és újságíróként dolgozik, szereti az izgalmas lektűröket, a jó kávét, a finom bort és a cuki macskákat. Ez az első regénye.

Perfect Theory: A Century of Geniuses and the Batt
"Ferreira masterfully portrays the science and scientists behind general relativity's star-crossed history and argues that even now we are only just beginning to realize its vitality as a tool for understanding the cosmos." --"Scientific American" Einstein's theory of general relativity is possibly the most perfect intellectual achievement of modern physics. For almost a century now, physicists have been delving into Einstein's theory, seeking an understanding of the history of the universe, the origin of time, and the evolution of solar systems, stars, and galaxies. The expanding universe, the light-speed barrier, black holes, wormholes, time travel--general relativity has allowed scientists' imaginations to take flight with new possibilities, revealing a universe that is much stranger than anyone ever expected. Just in time for the theory's hundred-year anniversary, physicist Pedro Ferreira's "The Perfect Theory" explains just how staggering an achievement general relativity was while bringing to life the infighting that it sparked in the field of physics over the past century. "A rollicking good read . . . With crisp explanations and narrative flair, Ferreira offers us a fun, fresh take on a magnificent part of modern science." --Steven Strogatz, author of "The Joy of x" "One of the best popular accounts of how Einstein and his followers have been trying to explain the universe for decades." --"Kirkus Reviews, " starred review
