Oloid
This monograph shows how the oloid, a timelessly beautiful geometric body, serves today more than ever as a source of inspiration and functional component in the visual arts and design, in technology and research, in architecture, philosophy, and music.
In 1929, the sculptor, inventor and researcher Paul Schatz (1898-1971) discovered the geometric form of the oloid. Schatz' lifework was characterized by this fundamentally new body, which emerged from movement, for which he sought and found new and pioneering applications for a number of decades. This monograph, rich in images and generally understandable, shows how today, more than ever, the timelessly beautiful oloid serves as a source of inspiration and a functional element.
This is true for the fine arts and design, in technology and research, in architecture, philosophy or music. Close aesthetic references to the contemporaneous sculptures of Naum Gabo, Constantin Brancusi, or Henry Moore are just as surprising as current homages to Paul Schatz by artists such as Ólafur Eliasson. As simple as it is complex, at the same time elegant and powerful, the oloid proves to be a universal body that has not yet revealed all its secrets and potential.

Lacná kniha Thing Explainer (-70%)
From the No. 1 bestselling author of What If? - the man who created xkcd and explained the laws of science with cartoons - comes a series of brilliantly simple diagrams ('blueprints' if you want to be complicated about it) that show how important things work: from the nuclear bomb to the biro. It's good to know what the parts of a thing are called, but it's much more interesting to know what they do. Richard Feynman once said that if you can't explain something to a first-year student, you don't really get it. In Thing Explainer, Randall Munroe takes a quantum leap past this: he explains things using only drawings and a vocabulary of just our 1,000 (or the ten hundred) most common words. Many of the things we use every day - like our food-heating radio boxes ('microwaves'), our very tall roads ('bridges'), and our computer rooms ('datacentres') - are strange to us. So are the other worlds around our sun (the solar system), the big flat rocks we live on (tectonic plates), and even the stuff inside us (cells). Where do these things come from? How do they work? What do they look like if you open them up? And what would happen if we heated them up, cooled them down, pointed them in a different direction, or pressed this button? In Thing Explainer, Munroe gives us the answers to these questions and many, many more. Funny, interesting, and always understandable, this book is for anyone -- age 5 to 105 -- who has ever wondered how things work, and why.

Jabloňové lásky
Šesť generácií žien, šesť historických období, šesť starých odrôd jabloní.
Tridsiatnička Simona stratila všetko, čo bolo pre ňu dôležité: nečakane jej zomrela matka, vzápätí prišla o prácu a opustil ju dlhoročný milenec. Chtiac-nechtiac zbalila svoj mestský život do kufra a presťahovala sa na vidiek, do starého penziónu uprostred jabloňového sadu, v ktorom vyrastala ona, jej matka, stará mama a rad prababičiek.
Denníky týchto žien, siahajúce viac než storočie dozadu, jej pomôžu pochopiť samu seba a objaviť svoje korene pevne vrastené do úrodnej pôdy.
Podarí sa Simone vykročiť z tieňa svojej jablone? Nájde lásku, otca pre dieťa, čo sa už čoskoro vypýta na svet, a zmysluplnú prácu?
Zuzana Široká o svojom najnovšom románe hovorí, že je doň votkaný genetický kód slovenských žien. Vraj sú ako jablone – pevne zakorené v rodinných sadoch, silné a neochvejné, aby dokázali poskytnúť oporu každému, kto ich potrebuje, pritom však jemné a nežné ako lupene kvetov, a aj trochu zvodné, šťavnato-sladké ako zrelé plody.
A presne taký je aj tento pôvabne napísaný príbeh – horkosladký a dojímavý, plný drám a smútku, ale i nádejí na novú jar. Nech už sa v okolitom svete robí čokoľvek, kým kvitnú a rodia jablone, majú ženy nádej. A kde je nádej, tam vzíde aj láska.

Koestler asszonyai
A kötettel új sorozat indul, amelyben híres emberek asszonyait mutatjuk be. Koestlerrel kezdjük, talán nem véletlenül…
Arthur Koestler, a 20. század tanúja és igen aktív formálója, 1905-ben született, és 1983-ban, feleségével egy időben vetett véget életének. Bartók Béla után szerte a világban a legismertebb magyar. Ellentmondásos személyiség volt. Több önéletrajzot is írt – a regényíró, a tudománytörténész, a tudományfilozófus és az agitátor pályájának ellentmondásait könnyű felfedezni életének történeteiben.Szerelmei, szeretői, szeretkezései is eltértek a hétköznapitól. Önleleplező, önkínzó nyíltsággal mondta ki azt, amiről az ő korában hallgatni illett. Az asszonyok, akiket ideig-óráig szeretett, ugyanilyen szókimondó részletességgel hagyták ránk az azonos történet másik változatát. Ahogy tette ezt például Simone de Beauvoir is.

Lacná kniha Újra a csúcson!
Az Újra a csúcson! című könyvben Raphael Honigstein újságíró és televíziós szakértő a német labdarúgás közelmúltját dolgozza fel a kilencvenes évek végének kilátástalanságától Götze zseniális megmozdulásáig. Bemutatja, hogyan is ment végbe ez a változás, miként alakult át a németek hatékonyságra alapozó, de szürke és defenzív játékstílusa a 2014-ben látott folyamatos, támadó szellemű futballá. A szerző többek között Kaliforniába, Stuttgartba, Münchenbe, Dortmundba, Dél-Afrikába és a Maracanaba is ellátogatva, a főszereplőkkel készített interjúk segítségével igyekszik felfedni a német labdarúgás sikereinek titkát.
Raphael Honigstein a német labdarúgás legnagyobb szakértője az Egyesült Királyságban. A Guardian és az ESPN újságírójának a német Süddeutsche Zeitungban és a Sport 1-en is rendszeresen jelennek meg cikkei, és gyakran szerepel televíziós szakértőként a BT Sport, az ESPN és a német Sky műsoraiban. Állandó résztvevője a Guardian díjnyertes podcastjának, a Football Weeklynek is. Első könyvét az Englischer Fussballt, az Év Futballkönyve-díjra jelölték.

Lacná kniha That Will Never Work (-70%)
In the tradition of Phil Knight's Shoe Dog comes the incredible untold story of how Netflix went from concept to company - all revealed by co-founder and first CEO Marc Randolph.
Once upon a time, brick-and-mortar video stores were king. Late fees were ubiquitous, video-streaming unheard of, and widespread DVD adoption seemed about as imminent as flying cars. These were the widely accepted laws of the land in 1997 when Marc Randolph had an idea. It was a simple thought - leveraging the internet to rent movies - and was just one of many more proposals, like personalised baseball bats and a shampoo delivery service, that Randolph would pitch to his business partner, Reed Hastings, on their commute to work each morning.
But Hastings was intrigued, and the pair - with Hastings as the primary investor and Randolph as the CEO - founded a company.
Now with over 150 million subscribers, Netflix's triumph feels inevitable but the twenty-first century's most disruptive start-up began with few believers and calamity at every turn. From having to pitch his own mother on being an early investor, to the motel conference room that served as a first office, to server crashes on launch day, to the now-infamous meeting when they pitched Blockbuster to acquire them, Marc Randolph's transformational journey exemplifies how anyone with grit, gut instincts and determination can change the world - even with an idea that many think will never work.
What emerges, however, isn't just the inside story of one of the world's most iconic companies. Full of counter-intuitive concepts and written in binge-worthy prose, it answers some of our most fundamental questions about taking that leap of faith in business or in life: How do you begin? How do you weather disappointment and failure? How do you deal with success? What even is success?
From idea generation to team building to knowing when it's time to let go, That Will Never Work is not only the ultimate follow-your-dreams parable but also one of the most dramatic and insightful entrepreneurial stories of our time.

Reid
REGENCY ROCKSTARS SERIES
When faced with a dangerous new rival, Regency London’s hottest lead singer is forced to place his singing career in the hands of a sexy widow. Bad Boy Rockstar romance meets Historical Romance.
Lord Reid Follett enjoys all the lustful benefits that come from being a war hero on the battlefield at Waterloo. Every woman in London wants to bed him. And Reid is never a man to disappoint a lady.
But the gloss of winning the war is starting to fade. Reid and his friends find themselves being challenged by a new group of talented Italian musicians who are taking their place in the hearts and bedrooms of the wicked women of the ton.
England’s bad boys must rise to the occasion and take on these interlopers at their own game. With Reid as their conductor and baritone the Noble Lords Quartet is born.
Reid’s ego however, does not match his singing ability and he soon discovers that to win he is going to have to put aside his pride and take singing lessons.
Widowed mother of one Lavinia Jones is the perfect teacher for him. Discrete, and ready to do his bidding. The fact that she is a dark-haired temptress is simply a bonus. Reid intends to use her to get what he wants, then he will toss her aside.
Lavinia however, is no push over and Reid soon discovers that she is the one holding all the power in their relationship. Without her guidance he will never be able to master the right note and go back to his seductive ways.
The closer they work together, the less they can resist one another. A fiery sexual encounter leaves them both wondering just where the music stops and where the heart takes over.
But Lavinia has a secret past of her own, and Reid finds himself suddenly facing his own jealous nature when it comes to the woman who has stolen his heart.
Can he set aside his rock and roll lifestyle to secure the heart of the one woman who sets his blood on fire?
The Regency Rockstars series is a new twist on Historical and Rock Star romance. Stories of war-scarred English lords who are bad boy musicians and the women who dare to love them.
Reid is a standalone book in the Regency Rockstars series.

Living in Bali. 40th Ed.
Loved by travelers for its lush tropical scenery and charming people, Bali is one of the most magnificent places on Earth. Spirituality and nature are integral parts of everyday life for the Balinese, so one can easily see why the island's traditional architecture has a peaceful presence to it, mimicking its surroundings and sometimes blending in with them.
When it comes to Balinese houses, walls are not compulsory, wood is everywhere, earth tones are dominant, and thatched roofs abound. Opening onto gorgeous green landscapes, majestic mountains, or beautiful coastlines, the homes herein ooze relaxing, contemplative vibes. This portfolio of Southeast Asian living features a swath of fresh and inspiring photographs and comes in a compact size, so you can take a little bit of paradise with you wherever you go.
Gazing at these opulent examples of simple and elegant living, it's a wonder why more people aren't rushing to move to Bali.
Leaving Paradise – Kiűzetés a Paradicsomból
Mi történik, ha a fiú, aki életre szóló sérülést okozott…
a legközelibb bizalmasoddá válik?
Minden megváltozott, amikor Caleb Becker egy buli után részegen elütötte Maggie Armstrongot. Maggie még hónapokig tartó fájdalmas gyógytorna után is sántít. A társasági élete nulla, a külföldi tanulmányi ösztöndíját pedig visszavonták – pedig elmenekülhetett volna a fürkésző tekintetek elől.
Caleb egy évet töltött a fiatalkorúak börtönében, és most szabad… Már ha lehet szabadságról beszélni a felügyelője meg az egész város állandó figyelmének kereszttüzében. Azt hitte, jó lesz hazatérni, ám a családja és a volt barátnője is idegennek tűnik.
Caleb és Maggie kívülállók. Beskatulyázták őket „bűnözőnek” és „nyominak”. Aztán kiderül, mi történt valójában a baleset éjszakáján, és ettől újra minden megváltozik.
Sötét és gyötrelmes út ez Caleb és Maggie számára, akik meglepő helyről merítenek kitartást és erőt: egymásból.
Különleges történet a megbocsátásról és a feltétel nélküli szeretetről – Simone utánozhatatlan, borzongatóan kíméleten és szívekig hatoló stílusában.

The Beauty of Everyday Things
Radical and inspiring ... Yanagi's vision puts the connection between heart and hand before the transient and commercial" - Edmund de Waal
The daily lives of ordinary people are replete with objects, common things used in commonplace settings. These objects are our constant companions in life. As such, writes Soetsu Yanagi, they should be made with care and built to last, treated with respect and even affection. They should be natural and simple, sturdy and safe - the aesthetic result of wholeheartedly fulfilling utilitarian needs. They should, in short, be things of beauty.
In an age of feeble and ugly machine-made things, these essays call for us to deepen and transform our relationship with the objects that surround us. Inspired by the work of the simple, humble craftsmen Yanagi encountered during his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea, they are an earnest defence of modest, honest, handcrafted things - from traditional teacups to jars to cloth and paper. Objects like these exemplify the enduring appeal of simplicity and function: the beauty of everyday things.
