Lacná kniha Čo videl pes a iné dobrodružstvá (-25%)
Prečo sa niektorí ľudia zaseknú a iní spanikária? Prečo máme veľa druhov horčice, ale kečup zostal rovnaký? Čo nás učia futbaloví hráči o zamestnávaní učiteľov? Ako nám farba na vlasy rozpovie históriu dvadsiateho storočia? Kniha Čo videl pes ponúka výber toho najlepšieho z publicistickej tvorby Malcolma Gladwella, ktorého označujú za najoriginálnejšieho amerického novinára. Všetkých devätnásť esejí sa prvý raz objavilo na stránkach časopisu New Yorker. Dokumentujú veselého ducha a neutíchajúcu zvedavosť, ktoré z autora urobili bystrého skúmateľa skrytej výnimočnosti. V knihe rozdelenej do troch tematických celkov nájdete dojemné rozprávanie o vynálezcovi antikoncepčnej pilulky aj príbeh pioniera lahodných omáčok k cestovinám Howarda Moskowitza. Gladwell si posedí u Rona Popeila, kráľa americkej kuchyne, keď predáva kuchynské grily, a vytuší tajomstvá Cesara Millana, „krotiteľa psov“, ktorý rozzúrené zviera skrotí dotykom ruky. „Čo chodí Millanovi po rozume, keď to robí?“ zamýšľa sa autor. „To ma inšpirovalo pri písaní tohto dielka. Ale keď som bol asi tak v polovici príbehu, uvedomil som si, že existuje ešte lepšia otázka: Keď Millan predvádza svoje čary, čo chodí po rozume psovi? To je to, čo chceme naozaj vedieť: chceme vedieť, čo videl pes.“ V ďalšej časti Gladwell skúma dôveryhodnosť inteligenčných testov a prezrádza, prečo sa raz zamestnávatelia zo Silicon Valley priam pretekali pri najímaní istého absolventa vysokej školy. „Sila dobrého písania,“ píše Gladwell v úvode, „nestojí ani nepadá na svojej schopnosti presvedčiť. Stojí alebo padá na schopnosti zapojiť vás, prinútiť vás rozmýšľať a umožniť vám nazrieť do niečej hlavy.“ Z anglického originálu What the Dog Saw and other adventures (Little, Brown and Company, New York 2009) preložila Anna Sedlačková.

The Shakespearean Ethic
Originally published by Chatto & Windus in 1959, this book has long been out of print and largely neglected by Shakespearean scholars. It offers a viewpoint seldom considered: an unusual and exceptionally clear insight into Shakespeare’s philosophy. It does so with freshness, modesty and conviction.Appreciating the danger Shakespeare faced in writing at a time of major religious intolerance, Vyvyan shows how subtly the plays explore aspects of the perennial philosophy allegorically. In doing so, Shakespeare raises the fundamental question of ethics: What ought we to do? ‘Shakespeare,’ says the author, ‘is never ethically neutral. He is never in doubt as to whether the souls of his characters are rising or falling.’ There is a constant pattern in the tragedies: ‘first the hero is untrue to his own self, then he casts out love, then conscience is gone – or rather inverted – and the devil enters into him.’ Vyvyan shows us this pattern of damnation, or its counterpart – a pattern of regeneration – working out in certain plays, contrasting Hamlet with Measure for Measure and Othello with The Winter’s Tale, where a similar dilemma and choice confront the hero. His intuitive insights also illumine Macbeth, Julius Caesar and Titus Andronicus which focus on the fall, whereas The Tempest explores most fully the pattern of regeneration and creative mercy. Here is a book, both thought-provoking and persuasive, which will send many readers back to Shakespeare’s plays with fresh vision and clearer understanding. To assist such readers, this edition cross-references the quotations in the text to the relevant place in the play. The text has been completely reset and the index expanded.
John Vyvyan, born in 1908 in Sussex, was educated mainly in Switzerland. His first profession was archaeology, and he worked with Sir Flinders Petrie in the Middle East. Illness, which dogged him all his life, ended this kind of arduous field work, and he retired from archaeology to become a Shakespearean scholar and to write. Studies such as The Shakespearean Ethic, Shakespeare and The Rose of Love (1960) and Shakespeare and Platonic Beauty (1961), led to the offer of a visiting lectureship at the State University of New York. He died in Exmouth in 1975.

Lacná kniha Eiffel Tower 25 Ju (-50%)
When it was completed in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was the highest structure in the world, measuring 300 meters (984 feet). Built for the World's Fair, it was initially granted a 20-year permit; this permit was thankfully extended and now the Eiffel Tow
er is one of the world's most famous structures, having become practically synonymous with Paris itself and receiving more than six million visitors annually.
This reprint explores the design and construction of this remarkable building; published i
n 1900 as a large folio by Gustave Eiffel himself in a limited edition of 500 copies, the original was never sold on the marketit was exclusively given and donated by Eiffel. Featuring 53 double-page plates of 4,300 technical drawings explaining the
design as well as 33 photographs of the construction, the book reveals the complex and fascinating process of bringing the Eiffel Tower to life. Though the technical drawing will especially appeal to designers wishing to discover the engineering gen
ius behind Eiffel's masterpiece, everyone can appreciate this very rare and special book about Paris's glorious mascot.

A Brush with Love
Anxiously awaiting news from the residency program of her dreams, dental student Harper Horowitz is laser focused. So crashing (quite literally) into Dan Craige is exactly the sort of dreamy distraction that she is trying to avoid.
First-year student Dan may not have the same passion for pulling teeth that Harper does, but he's instantly smitten. When Harper makes it clear that she's not interested in trading fillings for feelings anytime soon, they set out to be 'just friends' - a plan with the best of intentions and the poorest of follow-throughs.
Late nights in the dental lab (and the rather unsubtle match-making efforts of their friends), draw Dan and Harper closer. Still, Harper can't shake the worry that a romance with Dan might risk everything she's worked so hard to build.
Harper may have no trouble acing her studies, but falling in love is a whole new challenge.
Nine out of ten dentists agree, A Brush with Love makes your smile brighter!*

China's Economy
China's economic growth has been revolutionary, and is the foundation of its increasingly prominent role in world affairs. It is the world's second biggest economy, the largest manufacturing and trading nation, the consumer of half the world's steel and coal, the biggest source of international tourists, and one of the most influential investors in developing countries from southeast Asia to Africa to Latin America. Multinational companies make billions of dollars in
profits in China each year, while traders around the world shudder at every gyration of the country's unruly stock markets. Perhaps paradoxically, its capitalist economy is governed by an authoritarian Communist Party that shows no sign of loosening its grip.
China is frequently in the news, whether because of trade disputes, the challenges of its Belt and Road initiative for global infrastructure, or its increasing military strength. China's political and technological challenges, created by a country whose political system and values differ dramatically from most of the other major world economies, creates uncertainty and even fear.
China's Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know is a concise introduction to the most astonishing economic and political story of the last three decades. Arthur Kroeber enhances our understanding of China's changes and their implications. Among the essential questions he answers are: How did China grow so fast for so long? Can it keep growing and still solve its problems of environmental damage, fast-rising debt and rampant corruption? How long can its vibrant economy co-exist with the
repressive one-party state? How do China's changes affect the rest of the world?
This thoroughly revised and updated second edition includes a comprehensive discussion of the origins and development of the US-China strategic rivalry, including Trump's trade war and the race for technological supremacy. It also explores the recent changes in China's political system, reflecting Xi Jinping's emergence as the most powerful leader since Mao Zedong. It includes insights on changes in China's financial sector, covering the rise and fall of the shadow banking sector, and China's
increasing integration with global financial markets. And it covers China's rapid technological development and the rise of its global Internet champions such as Alibaba and Tencent.

Persuasion
Anne Elliot is persuaded to reject a marriage proposal from handsome Captain Wentworth because he lacks rank or fortune. But when he returns home from the Navy, more than seven years later, Anne realises she still has strong feelings for him, despite the fact that his attentions have now turned towards her friend.
Moving, tender and intrinsically 'Austen' in style, with its satirical portrayal of society in eighteenth-century England, Persuasion is a story of heartache and missed opportunities, and a celebration of enduring love and hope.
